Pictures of You

Reflection 21 Dec 2009

Concert Poster

My ticket i bought with my own hard-earned money.

Though its the cheapest range, i am very proud of it.

The queues. I talked to fans that were waiting infront and behind of me.

From where I sat. Lee Minho and hosts having a chat.
It looks small here, but I could actually see him. <3>

Games that were played on stage with fans:

Make a wish
- LMH personally took polaride photo with fan
- Eye fight
- Big hug
Korean Snacks
- LMH fed snacks to fans
Phone call
- LMH made phone calls to fans and ask them on stage
Pictionary
- Fans drew on paper and LMH guessed:
Xmas tree, Rudolf the red nose reindeer, taxi, mosquito, Singapore Flyer
Hand shake
- He hugged the fans too!
* SO SWEET!
I WANT!!!

Lucky... i recorded some vids of him talking, its for myself to listen to his voice when i want to..

Lee Min Ho, First Love Concert in Singapore

2009-12-23T17:38:00.002+08:00

I WENT TO THE CONCERT! *

* Its not a dream. :)

It's hard to describe again the feeling i had that day, unless you were on the phone with me the whole time. But i can try to describe a little of how excited i was. Before going into the MAX Pavilion i was already so excited i couldnt finish my Subway sandwich. It was also wise to have drank only 3/4 cup of the ice lemon tea. Went to the washroom thrice while queueing but never once during the concert.

Lee Minho is a very very very charming, very very very good-looking guy. Even the host said so.. ;)

All i can say is that I really REALLY adore him. And get this right, its not only because of how handsome he is, he is very meticulous, humble and friendly. Gaining so much fame didnt lead him to arrogance. Instead, he pays extra attention to fans and being appreciative, he is willing to go all out for fans. He embraced fans in his arms even though the host was trying to stop more people from requesting more than a handshake. Those whom got chance up stage for handshakes from him were SOOOO lucky so please treasure that valuable piece of memory. Because i am so so so envious of you. :)

Let videos and pictures tell you more. (And mmm, i am linking youtube vids instead so that when i want to look back in future, i get vivid reflection of this Lee Minho day of mine. My own shots were rather far and blur.)

I will never forget Lee Minho's First Love concert in Singapore, the first fanmeeting in Asia. Lee Minho: My very first and only idol i will go crazy over.

Thank you Wireless@SG again

2009-12-11T21:07:00.003+08:00

Thank you Wireless@SG again.. Haha. Know why?

I am at HOME and i can surf the net!

And thank you Cami Wong.. You are my best friend ;)

I am also hoping that Dorothy's feeling better now. She was discharged yesterday evening. She better get a good good rest and not overworked! Her mom's so worried for her...

Sad, i wont get to perform this Sunday. My foot's not ready yet.

@Toa Payoh Library

2009-12-10T15:09:00.004+08:00

Broadband's currently unavailable in the temporary new house. So i am at Toa Payoh Public Library typing away using Wireless@SG. Good thing! I am so grateful to the tech advancement in Singapore. Wireless connection almost everywhere. All our libraries are equipped with free internet. Just checked the email and facebook-ed for a little while. So far, I am living fine and contented

^.^v

This library is just a few minutes walk away from my house. At least I found a convenient and condusive place to start working on my holiday homework. So, location is not a problem now.

Working on time-management and adapting at the same time be responsible for my commitments.

Dishes on my plate:

1. CCA trainings every thursday and friday
2. Dance practices
3. Outdoor performance this sunday at Telok Kurau Park
4. Living in a new environment

I hope my foot injury recovers soon! It's a little better. Luckily, Mom brought me to the Chinese Physician yesterday. It's really difficult to walk fast like this. And it slows things down quite a lot.

Kind-of miss someone right now.. Haha.

Another good piece of news, I am meeting Angela, Xingyi and Simin next Saturday. Planning to have a picnic and do some kite-flying :P

I think i better get down to serious work or I won't complete in time. Maclaurin's Tutorial is not even halfway done, and others are waiting impatiently in the big fat file.

Till next time!

My Everything

Crazy over Lee Minho

2009-12-06T19:46:00.003+08:00

I AM CRAZY over Lee Minho. And I've to admit :)

I WANT to go his concert badly...

Just the look at his pictures anywhere drives me wild. Maybe i should really just go for this concert. Because most of the people around me supports this idea.

I will earn back the bucks after graduating from JC. This will be it. I will tell my mom and buy the ticket.

Last night @ my home

2009-12-06T19:37:00.002+08:00

Ouch...

I am now typing away on my computer here, at my home for the last night. To think that I will be lodging somewhere else, not my home-sweet-home; not my shelter which protected me for 9years; not my haven where I literally grew up from a child; I can't bear to leave and never lie in one of the bedrooms reading or playing.

We're indeed MOVING out. And its a fact i must acknowledge.

As for now, I really am praying hard that the new house is made available to us asap. It won't be feeling as great to be staying somewhere temporary. But I will learn to adapt.

Life is like this. Adapting is how humans survive regardless of adversity. I still have my family, my friends and I am not changing school. Its not like I am migrating.

So... Just can't bear to leave my home.

Promos over

Ouwww aww ouch, it's difficult to blog without pictures. There are many wonderful moments captured, but blogger isn't working well to upload them! >.< WHY?

Twilight

2009-07-02T15:03:00.003+08:00

Hui Ling is lending me her whole set of Twilight saga books. I am so excited.

At first i thought nothing will capture me more than Harry Potter series does. However now that I'd started on Twilight, i was totally absorbed into the presence of story books again. How long have i not been so overwhelmed by stories?

The last time was, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. When reading Harry Potter, i was in the world of Wizardry.

Now, i am in the world of vampires. (Lol, the werewolves have yet to appear.)

EXAMS

2009-07-01T22:22:00.002+08:00

MID YEARS

Completed 3 papers since..
GP [checked]
Economics [checked]
Chemistry [checked].
Physics [friday]
Maths [...]

Here is the story to tell..

I was sent back home on Monday, Maths paper, because my temperature was 38deg. It wasn't the fault of my thermometer: i had done a counter checked with the 2 thermometers i have later that afternoon and two gave me the same reading.
I was fine, no fever--- 37deg back at home.

Ruiqi was also sent back home because her temperature was also above 37.5deg.

So.. I got rather worked up that day. We were told that for maths this mid years, we don't get that 15%, and instead maths papers for promos will take up the whole 75%.
Leter that evening, the school called up Ruiqi and told her not to worry. The school believed they had over reacted and would allow us to sit for a re-test on one of the following Saturdays. Unconfirmed. They had'nt inform me yet.. Haha.

YEAH ^.^Y

All right, I am in 0909 class mass convo now. They are telling me what i can do at sentosa on Youth day... Haha. I was so worried about boredom yet they have managed to convince me into so so so many things to do there. Thanks thanks...

Long chat

2009-06-26T20:48:00.002+08:00

Finally i heard your voice, Derrick..

It's a long chat. But nice time to catch up with each other. I think it was the right time. Don't know if anyone understands this. Still, "Thank you for calling :D"...
How long have we not talked? It seems like ages ages ages to me.

Glad that he is doing fine at CJC. Don't worry about me.. Jiayou for Mid Years. I know he can. I think i heard him ask me if i still mug on weekends like last time. Yeah, i do.
Anyway I didnt know he is an ardent silent reader-- till he told me. Only very few people read my posts. Because my blog was intentionally made to be my own personal world. See my URL, it has reasons for being meaningless and lonnnggg.

Hey Derrick (gor).. I don't know if you are reading this. If you've got any suggestions about my weekends, you can tell me alright? (: SEE YOU SOON!

In School. And random stuff.

2009-06-26T09:24:00.001+08:00

4th visit to The Drum this week. (FYI: The Drum is the name of the school library)

I was highlighted to, the school library being my second home, by Alex.

Speaking about Alex. I found a new friend. He's quiet but possesses the silent humour. Funny and random; yet smart and helpful. Another interesting part, he plays the guitar. I don't know when exactly did we became friends- in fact he was just a good senior there a few months ago. Perhaps after I borrowed a school tie from him because i needed it urgently and did not have one. (?..? ) And he offers lots of help for solving my maths questions (in addition, chemistry) when i am much in doubt. Thank you so much!

Should learn from him. HAHAHA.

Alright. I should be back to my maths paper now. The answers are waiting for me in vain.
I MUST DO WELL FOR MID YEARS! NYJC! (:

Going Crazy over Boys Over Flowers

2009-06-25T18:44:00.002+08:00

KOREA, Koreans, K-Pop. The way to go nowadays.

Much influenced by the trend going round now, I think like many other girls, I am very much insane over the recent K-drama, Boys Over Flowers. And, especially over the 4 main guy leads of the show. Korean F4.
This is not quite me. I don't usually go ga-ga over idols, shows nor guys.
Maybe this is another exception, apart from Princess Hours, (and Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi if you insist on counting that in).

I don't know if its the right time to be chasing after the hot cakes this hols. Mid years are right after this term break. (JC's different, we have it after a "supposed"--"break"). So I have to keep myself busy mugging instead of watching episodes after episodes of BOF.

At least I am someone who can control. I watch 20min of the show when I am not that tired and still have energy for work. Only a whole episode which last at least 70min when I am totally dead beat and cannot concentrate on subjects like Economics at all.

Grand Piano

2009-06-23T20:51:00.004+08:00

FINALLY. Down to the last official Micromouse training for this June hols. ^^

Probably still going back on Friday to do some last fine-tunings for the competition on 7 July (coincides on Ziming's birthday, roar)

This blog post, I've got nothing much to say actually. Just wanted to post a picture of me on the grand piano in NY's school hall. But too bad, i guess it was too dark. The picture looks BLACK.

I have finally mustered some courage to play on that grand piano. For my sake, the grand piano definitely sounds so great, its so DIFFERENT!!! Especially with the sustain..

Well, I am almost done with that piece of song. Really reaallly want to master it and play it for somebody.

Sophia's BDAY, and bowling

2009-06-20T21:25:00.001+08:00

Cami. Walking back after the first throw!
Bowling Alley @ SAFRA Tampines. Lane 12

COLOURFUL! First time i see so many colours bowling balls together.

HAPPY 7TEENth BIRTHDAY SOPHIA

Hope you enjoyed the day with Kot, with your drama script (acting tgt with Cami Wong), and at the bowling alley. Not forgetting the cake. Sorry if it was small. :P But hope you like it. At least I think it was the first time i talked to you much more than last time. All thanks to Cami Wong. LOL. :P

HAPPY 5TEENth BIRTHDAY JERALD (Dear Cousin)

Hope you will breeze through this year. Cos' i know you are very smart. You can do it! If you need any help, just give me a call. I can try to help you!
May your dreams come true. AJC ah? (: GO GO GO!
I think you had a great celebration anyway.

Miss your smile and little chats with you.
And lastly. I wish you all the very best in your future endeavours.

Let's pick one day for our gathering! I want to celebrate with her. (:
Present's with me. Hope she'll like it anyway.

Cami's Birthday

2009-06-17T22:00:00.000+08:00

HAPPY 4TEENth BIRTHDAY CAMI (Dearest Sis)

You are 14 already la~! Don't complain about always being 3 years younger than i do. It's impossible to change that.
Be more mature and play hard; study hard.. (:
Please enjoy the days in youth and strive to do well. Challenge yourself and never be defeated!
Lots of Love.

It has become a tradition to follow i think, to celebrate my sister's birthday in M'sia. So 17 June again. We crossed the borders and had our passports stamped. thank my sis for her birthday falls during the June Hols every year-- so we get to go somewhere beyond Singapore for a day of fun! :P

Had nothing to do at the hairdresser. Random picked a magazine lying round and started practicing my drawing again. This is Rain, Korea Star on the cover. Since there's really nothing/no one i knew better of, I drew him in blue ink. :X

What i ordered for dinner that night.
Furong Egg Rice, and Yingyong (mixed coffee+tea)

Some random shots my sis insisted in taking.

I think this one was took to compare our features.

Black & White. I think it was from a reflection. Or was it from another camera?

Oh ya, what did I get her for her birthday? My, i forgot. Nevermind. (ROFL.)

Mugging

2009-06-11T21:05:00.001+08:00

Chemistry bonding notes. I have to memorise this page. and more.. Just snapped this page so that i can maybe refer to it when i am free. I must be nuts. Right? I guess so.

[The day when QR came over in the morning til after lunch. and then we went to her house-- mugging whole day long. ]

Cos' i had. I enjoyed it and I was glad we all catched up with one another. Everyone has a different life now. And we are getting on, moving on yet not forgetting each other. That's a good thing.

LT4 Black Out

2009-05-06T21:19:00.000+08:00

My friends

Asraf!

BLACK OUT in LT4 when we were about to start Economics lecture. Everyone took out their handphones and started snaping photographs with their classmates. People were playing with flashlights, making use of shadows to convey message to the whole lot of us in the LT. e.g.: I LOVE ECONS.

LOL. What big laugh.. :P

Kotekitai Recruitment

2009-04-19T19:08:00.000+08:00

The Arts and Culture Committee held the Mass Recruitment Drive today. So i was one of the performers too. This time we danced to the band's Japanese Graffiti IV. The preparation time for this performance was about 2 weeks, very short, so it was very managable and i still could cope with my work. That's why i agreed to join in.

The band in white, and the dancers.. !
(I am the 3rd in the first row. Red cap and a silver tie. One of my favourite costume. (:)

Saturday

2009-04-19T18:32:00.000+08:00

The rest of the day after the mugging session and lunch...

I was waiting for bus 119 after teaching tuition.
In the meantime, while waiting for almost half an hour,
I decided to capture a shot just to

improve my skills in using my camera.

Back home, I showed my sister the photographs I've managed to capture the way I wanted them to be, focussing on only the nearest or furthest object.
This piece of bread was supposed to be mine.
But she ate it as breakfast the next morning. LOL.

She wanted to try out my new function on my cam as well.
So she took a picture while i was doing my work. Quite a mess, sorry >.<

So, it is rather obvious I was dealing with academic work the whole day yesterday!

Cool viewty

2009-04-19T18:08:00.005+08:00

17 April

2pm till 6pm, in the school library.
We were studying while waiting till 7.30pm when
The Chinese Drama Society would start their drama night.

We were excited to watch Shuangyu's performance!

QR's shot.

My shot.

Somehow kind-of hooked-- capturing images. Probably much influenced by Qingran. She loves photography, especially taking black-n-white ones. She takes great photographs at extarordinary angles, and they give different kind of "feel"s. They leave spaces for thoughts to run unconsciously in your mind.

ISO, SLR, whatever-focus and stuff. I am not even a novice, so that's all i can name but i never know what they really are. Actually i thought photographs can sum much of my life in the blog. So i'd probably start posting up photos plus a bit of caption here and there soon. Can't express much using words.

A PICTURE can mean more than a THOUSAND WORDS. (:

19 April
It was a day at QR's house, and we mugged. And then we went out for lunch at Rivervale Plaza. There was something very common between us, but it is not the content, it's just something I myself can't figure out. Chatted, ate, laughed.. I guess the bond between just got closer and stronger. It would take much energy now to break them up.

Ice-kacang..

In fact, it is amazing they are the subject that make me want to go to school everyday. They are the motivation to pull through the tough times (to come) in college.
3 Cheers. (:

Lenovo s10

2009-04-06T22:13:00.002+08:00

Yes! My dad bought me a netbook, Lenovo S10. I am on it now. This is so going to be useful for school work, and robotics!!! (:

I am so excited. Haha...

Oh ya, the period to start PW-ing starts now. First draft of the PI is to be submitted on Thursday. LOL.

So much things to do, so little time

2009-03-30T19:01:00.003+08:00

So much things to do, yet so little time. Fancy [me] still blogging when I am already complaining. Haha!

Actually I find myself always resolving to do many things, but at the same time i find myself procrastinating all the while. For instance(s)...
PW, I say i am too tired.
Chemistry, I say there is still time before the due date.
Economics essay, i say it can wait.
GP, i say i should start reading the newspaper everyday yet I see them stacking up. PE (NAPFA), i say i must run at least 3 rounds on the track but I wait for tomorrow to come. (Oh ya, the list goes on..)

So when can all these on the list be accomplished? They WON'T! Unless I start today.
I should stop my procrastination!! I MUST START TODAY. YES, today.

~"Procrastination, leaders of tomorrow."~

The Einstein Quiz

2009-02-18T18:56:00.002+08:00

I was waiting for Robotics training to start last Wednesday, and as I was waiting with nothing much except to look around, my senior started penning down things on her paper. Out of curiousity, I asked for her paper and saw an Einstein quiz. It was given to her by her CT. The heading states, only 98% of the people on Earth can solve this quiz. So, to prove that we could be people of the 2%, we started to work this out:
(I suggest you try this if you happen to have nothing to do at the moment, esp. prospective Poly students... since you're unlike JC students who have to start mugging at this instance...)

The Einstein Quiz
Einstein said that 98% of people in the world cannot solve the following puzzle. And Einstein was usually right (that's why he's Einstein.) Here is the Einstein Quiz:

Facts:
There are 5 houses in 5 different colors.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.

Hints:
The Brit lives in a red house.
The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is on the left of the white house.
The green house owner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the house right in the centre drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
The German smokes Prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

Question:
Can you determine WHO KEEPS FISH?

Please do not google for the answer first. Don't let it be a spoiler. Tell me once you get your answer. I have worked this out. If you had tried, and you want to know which category I belong to, give me a call. All the best :)

No time to blog

2009-02-13T21:00:00.001+08:00

OOOH!!!! Orientation 2009 was totally AWESOME...

I LOVE 0909! I LOVE NYJC!

No time to blog.. :(

I am downloading my lecture notes and tutorials... :)

Happy Birthday to myself

2009-02-06T23:31:00.003+08:00

Happy Birthday to myself!

Haha.. I'd really like to thank everyone who wished me today..via sms, phone call, or on my facebook wall..! I'm really touched by my friends' thoughtfulness.. Really thank you. I'm really really very happy today. Even though i was a bit blur i didnt know it was still my birthday when i was in school. I thought it was over or not here yet. Laughsss..! Serious.! Haha.. Ya, 17 now.. One year older.

I'll post my reflections and more stuff soon, a break from one week of academic orientation.. :) Love everyone loads.

I love NYJC

2009-02-02T16:29:00.005+08:00

First day of school...

WOW.

I love NYJC.

Great, I just like it a lot.. (:

I made many new friends, among was Lynn from my sister secondary school. My sister's SC- Public Relation Dep. Head! So coincidental.
Apart from new friends, i see many many familiar faces-- of which includes Ong Jun Long, Toony Jun Hao and Tay Li Yuan fom Xinmin!! My primary school classmates. Woah, what a small world. That's so cool!

Also, I have Yanyee (my KOT dance pal), Tracy & Jiajin (my Robinsons colleagues), Jiaying Xiang Cui Huiting (my PHSS classmates), and my immersion programme friends!

Would just like to end off by wishing all my friends who are in JCs now a good start off, settle down soon, and a happy stay in wherever you are right now. We'll still be friends for life! Jiayou!
(Jingyi, Derrick, Dorothy...)

*Not forgetting Shimin and Huishan, the DPA cool chicks, have great fun and experience in SP!

Photos!

2009-01-27T19:53:00.005+08:00

Yeah, my cousin sent some quan jia fu over. :D
This was taken at my grandma's house.
Some of my relatives are not inside the photographs
because they have not arrived when we decided to take some photographs.
So this is considered 半-全家福... Haha :)

This is the full 全家福 taken in year 2006 :)
The size very different ah...

Back from Msia

2009-01-27T18:48:00.003+08:00

I am back from Malaysia.. Couldn't bear to leave my grandma's place actually. We go back once a year everytime so we meet only during Chinese New Year. My relatives and cousins are all so welcoming and I can feel the warmth in the house. Reunion dinner was steamboat, and we had 3 table adjoined. Too many people you see. Haha.

Most of my paternal family members are all in Malaysia. And my grandma has 9 children in total, in addition to that are the children of her children-- Grandchildren. So, its a form of BIG family gathering every year back in the hometown. A pity that my camera battery can't work. I am waiting for my cousins to send our pictures to me.

As for now, I'm posting some photographs of scenes which are deemed unusual in Singapore. They are taken by my sister, and I thought they were quite good shots.. This was a trip down one of my aunt's kampong.. :)

Kampong Attap House:
One of my aunt and cousins' house.
They reer chickens. The house is gigantic as well.

Doorstep.

My sister and my grandma.

Their dog. Lazing under shelter of the shadow of the house.

Finally, I'd still like to wish all a HAPPY NIU YEAR! Year of the Ox. Moo~
恭喜发财
好运常来
大吉大利
万事如意
学业有成
心想事成
身体健康
荣华富贵
年年有余
Every day happy happy!

happy cny!

2009-01-24T18:32:00.002+08:00

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!

Got to wish everyone early because i will be leaving Singapore tomorrow. So bon voyage to myself...

Salary

2009-01-23T13:50:00.002+08:00

I updated my passbook at CP today. Robinsons depositted half my salary into my bank account on 12 January. Hehe. At least I got a little bit to spend during Chinese New Year. It isn't a lot actually. But I can buy a new bag for myself. Need one soon anyway.. :)

Words of Wisdom

2009-01-20T18:28:00.000+08:00

It's foolish to be obsessed with past failures. And it's just as foolish to be self-satisfied with one's small achievements. The present and the future are what are important, not the past. Those who neglect this spirit of continual striving will start to veer off in a ruinous direction.

I decided to post a picture of my proposed design of the front of the Pei Hwa Alumni tee. Hope the members of the PHA will like it. Its pixelated here and looks a little fake because I pasted te logo onto an image of a plain polo shirt. As far as i know, the logo has been approved. So that's something I should be happy about.. Yeah! :)

A little explaination for the design of the logo:
The Red-orange-yellow toned flying creature in the middle is actually an evolution of the letters P, H and A-- if one observes carefully. P is its head, H its wings and A its tail.
The colours indicate our vibrancy and the creature flying upwards portrays our life-force to seek, to strive and to excel beyond limitations.
The 5 stars interlinked, forming a circle represents friendship that continues even after graduation. They also represent the members of PHA serving our community.

Huishan and I

2009-01-17T18:55:00.012+08:00

After the Youth Wing Meeting in school,

Huishan and I decided to go out and chill. We were at the bus stop, taking a bet as to where to go. So, if 27 came first, we'll head to Changi Airport (---** favourite place, WEE~); and if 89 came before 27, we'll go Changi Beach.

I will show the pictures now.. :)
Guess which bus came first then.

CHEERS. The deep blue sea backdrop.

1 SIA airplane, high, and higher, into the sky.

1 SIA airplane, right above me!!
**sorry, crazy girl here.**
Across the puffy clouds &
The unique roar of her engines...

Calm.

Windy. Hehe.

A little splash. First shot of the waters taken by Huishan.

BIG SPLASH! Second quicker shot taken by Huishan!

Swinggggg. My hair is flying like no one's business. Hey. Tangles you know!

Huishan! Swinging too! Her hair is fine.. :)

YEAH! Catch us upside down!

Simply. A GREAT day today...

1. I saw my favourite, AIRPLANES!

2. A Day with Huishan

3. Swing swing swing!

4. Monsoon wind, windspeed of above 30km/h. Look at our hair, you know what i mean. Hehe.

Go Changi Beach again!

A Day of Meaning and Fun

2009-01-17T18:36:00.002+08:00

Happy Senior Citizens' Day!

Although I am officially a graduate, but with another 19 members of the Pei Hwa Alumni Youth Wing, I was back to school to help out with the Senior Citizens' Day Luncheon organised and sponsored by the Pei Hwa Foundation.

A very meaningful event indeed, now to come to think about it. I am serious. The Directors of the Foundation are willing to share their fortune and celebrate the coming CNY with our elders, and reach out to the needy people by giving out Ang Baos and treating them to a good 8 course lunch. 400 people in the hall. Treating 400 people to lunch! I think the directors are very generous, selfless and they are truly admirable. Such altruistic characters are people we should learn from.

Just an add on about my duty earlier this morning:
Along with Fahmi, Jivaan and Shimin, we reached the Old Pei Hwa Public School to see more than 50 senior citizens sitting in the sheltered canteen waiting for the arrival of our bus to bring them to our school. I am really happy to see their enthusiasm.
When we came back, Mr Tan CK told me that the bus driver thought I was one of the teachers! So happy that I look like one! :)

O levels results

2009-01-13T23:18:00.008+08:00

MILESTONE
(16 Years Old)

I used the whole of yesterday chilling and thinking things through. Although part of my sleep was also sacrificed. :)

Don't worry about me, I may be disappointed yesterday. But not now. I've found out how things work and fully I've understand them.

If i did too well this time, i might be complacent in JC. If i did too well this time, I might regret my DSA.

This result is not that bad afterall-- a 12 points with 6 Distinctions (of which included Art that came surprisingly); Its just that the expectations i'd set for myself were a little little higher than what i'd achieved. But it has proven to me that I didnt choose the wrong school. NYJC is indeed the school that I can get into even without DSA, a correct decision indeed.

This is the beginning of another chapter in my life. I am motivated to spur on for the challenges ahead, and peak in my further studies and achievements along the journey called LIFE. I am also very grateful to those who have been giving me encouragement to look forward now. At least, i've stepped ahead, grown up, and leant lessons. Another huge milestone in life.

I should go on now. (I will be an optimist! *Applause)

Thank you for everything too, Dad, Mom, Sis, Relatives, Friends, Seniors, SSA comrades and GHZ.. I love you guys.

I AM PERFECTLY FINE NOW!!! WEE~

Congrats

2009-01-13T23:15:00.001+08:00

CONGRATULATIONS
TO
SHIMIN (Top Scholar)
HUISHAN (2nd)
LOIS (6th)

Well Done.. I am so glad for you 3... You have done the school and yourself proud.. :)

如燕

2009-01-10T16:26:00.002+08:00

如燕

愿意合上眼才能美梦无边

别让悔熏乌了从前

也许碎片才能让回忆展颜

何妨瓷花拼凑明天

谁带我寻获幸福的模

却自己谜中困锁

谁为我留下缱绻的天涯

信物是抹晚霞

思念如燕它飞舞舌尖

若是真爱配尝几分苦甜

意念婆娑时间里推磨

追随到何处才结果

燕如针线在青空缝编

几幅女红将以泪缀点

誓言斑驳情雾只是经过

风雨中且让我盈步婀娜

O Levels Results coming

Class chalet

2009-01-07T22:13:00.003+08:00

4E1 (Class of 2008) used our $200 we won from the Best Class Award and held our chalet at Costa Sands finally! Its a 3 days 2 night. But i went for 2 days 1 night.

Total fun man. Guess i didnt really enjoy and celebrate that much since after O levels.

On 5 Jan 09, I...:

Checked in,
Chatted like it had never been done before,
BBQ-ed,
Fortune telling by Jane (quite accurate),
Watched Little Nyonya last episode together,
Played cards (daidi, cheat, and whatever you can think of) till 3am,
Played truth or dare till 5am (crazy, they knew so much),
Slept till 8am, LOL!

And on 6Jan, I...:

Ate mac breakfast (me, Huishan, Shimin, Amanda, Lois, Barry),
Watched shimin and huishan swim,
Went cycling for 2 hrs(rented),
Waited for Huishan to get lunch for me (so nice of them! thank you!) while I slept because my head was a little spinning, and I knew someone was doing something to me, dont think I dont know... :P
Watched tv again while the rest played cards again
Went home at 7pm while the rest BBQ-ed

I love this chalet.

Colleague

2009-01-07T22:07:00.002+08:00

I met Tracy at Robinsons, she was my colleague, and now my friend. It was pure coincidence we started to talk to each other and found out that she actually DSA-ed to NYJC too! Now i know, i wont be alone in my new school, my new phase in life.

NYJC is holding an immersion programme (just like a REDcamp, but its a JC-experience, not poly's). You could have seen it anchored in the Channel U news just now. Its the first day today-- a kick off. Tracy and I are in different groups but at least we are still in the same tribe-- thats lucky.. :)

So much stuff

2009-01-07T21:45:00.002+08:00

Actually there is a lot to write and post. I wonder if I can still remember events that I had gone through, even if I can remember, maybe the "feel" could be missing.

After stepping into the working society, I finally understand there is no easy money. There is neither money which would fall from the skies into your pocket, nor money easily earn by having fun. I am not saying that there are no jobs out there where you can have fun and earn a living, but its not easy to get them. Whats more, I have only O levels qualifications for now.

Well, working in a departmental store depends heavily on your ability to tolerate standing on your feet the whole day (except for in between lunch break or dinner). The first 3 days were fine. I was still heppily walking around Level 2, (oh yes, I am at Level 2 Ladies shoes and handbag dep.) helping to serve in any way possible.

Dreadful thoughts flooded in only after Christmas. I was working on the public holiday, and Robinsons was having "Traffic-stopping sales" starting from the day itself. So, imagine the crowd in the store although it has 6 storeys- wow. It then occurred to me why the sale was named that way. I worked full shift for the first time. The people walking around me made me giddy; I was posted to the accesories corner to serve, the gold and silver made me nauseous. In the end i laid on my fathers shoulders on the whole NEL trip home (my family came to shop that day, too bad it was too packed, they could have bought more). My legs ached like I am going insane, and I started to feel feverish. Fell sick? Yep.

There were more things that happened, just to keep this post shorter... I was doing great at the stationery and shawls and the seniors allowed me to continue my job at both stations. On new year's day 1 Jan 09, while i was folding shawls, Mrs Yao (my ex-VP) saw me and she bought shawls too! :)

My working experience at Robinsons were interestingly varied. There were times when I felt I should just quit working, but there were also times I enjoyed myself. I couldnt bear to leave as a sales associate, but also wished to be able to stop working asap. Mixed feelings.

UPDATE

2009-01-07T21:42:00.001+08:00

OPS, I am pretty much sorry not to have update for more than half a month... Saying HAPPY NEW YEAR now could be quite late, but i still want to wish everyone a

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!! :)

SPRING IV

2008-12-14T15:25:00.002+08:00

SPRING IV last night was awing fantastic!
(That's the best night, best concert I have ever participated in, I have ever seen).
It's a pity if you hadn't been there.

Baton girls, you were wonderful dancers, the perfect smile on your face, the live in your dances, the hope you brought to the audience! Great Job Girls!

Music girls, you were best musicians, the music you played had definitely touched the hearts of the audience, the shimmer in your eyes, and the 100% you had put into every single note you played. Wonderful! WOO~

I am waiting for the photographs from my fellow pals, and will upload soon!! (:

My excitement hasn't gone away!

Robinsons

2008-12-12T17:50:00.004+08:00

Future Workplace

I was asked to be at Robinsons HR office Raffles City for a briefing this morning. There were 2 other boys, who will be my colleagues in future, already in the room when I reached. We signed the contract and were taught how to use the entry passes; we got our uniforms together with the name tags too. I was really excited to see my name on the name tag because this is my very first working experience!

Before I left for City Hall MRT station, I dropped by Accesorize to find Kris. She is working there now. So, now I know, Accesorize is another franchise of Metro! (:

Quiz

2008-12-11T15:23:00.008+08:00

This is from Amanda Ting's blog:

boy's name: Gary
girl's name: Gabriella
occupation: Graphic Designer

name 10 ppl to pass this on: Girls? Haha.

My answer is very accurate indeed.. :)

A JOB FINALLY! Robinsons!

2008-12-11T14:41:00.004+08:00

YES YES YES!

This is MYSTIC!!!

No words can describe my feeling now. Only my family members will understand what I mean because I have been making so much noise about getting a job. I chanted so much daimoku, making fervent prayers that I will be capable of earning my own income for my JC uniform next year, topping up my own ez-link card for transportation (up and down NY robotics training, and my dance practices, etc), and something which only my parents will know what I wanted a job so badly for.
I think this is the very first time, I really felt so deeply for an actual proof. My prayers are answered, indeed, I am proven by the Law again.
("If you have faith in this Gohonzon and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo even for a short while, no prayer will go unanswered, no offense unexpiated, no good fortune unbestowed, and no righteousness unproven.")

1. I am so elated I have finally got the job I desired so much-- Cashier at Robinsons this festive season.

2. It is the only job that offers working hours and days which really fits into my schedule. You guys know about my robotics training and the concert that is coming up in just 2 DAYS time. This job not only does not coincides with days I must go for trainings, it starts only after the concert and ultra busy preparations!

3. Furthermore, the HR department told me on the day of my interview that they will notify me latest by 5 Dec. Apparently, I got the confirmation phonecall only just now.

4. And right before that while I was clearing my room, I just dumped the Robinsons schedule into the wastepaper basket because I thought it was over!

If you can understand what I am actually feeling right now, you must be superb. Really. Cos' what I have written is not all.

Rehearsal

2008-12-08T21:57:00.004+08:00

Concert rehearsal this morning from 9am to 5.30pm just now was super tiring but I shouldn't be complaining. I am not the one dancing the most number of items. Frankly speaking, I am really amazed by my friends, who are taking part in at least 4 dances. Learning and memorising steps is one thing for dancers, but they got to change within seconds, pant, perspire and get back on the stage, with stunning smiles on their already-worn-out faces!

Neoprints 4 Dec

2008-12-05T23:33:00.005+08:00

8 of us in total, went to Suntec City for Dorothy's Sweet 16 yesterday. It was what I called romantically fun and memorable. As for the romantic part, I guess you guys ( 8 of us i meant ) should know why. The final birthday we are celebrating before leaving for our own separate paths. But I know we'll still celebrate together again next year! 2009!

We went around shopping before settling at Pastamania, undecided what to have for quite some time. Amanda volunteered to help us order initially. In the end, it was too troublesome, and so as to give Amanda a better time, we ordered our own meals. Anyway, thank you Amanda, for offering! (:

That dinner session was interestingly funny. Remember, when the Times subscription started to call us one by one when we were together at the exact same location having fun?

Dorothy's bill was on the 7 of us. And we gave her our shared present. Mushrooms set (not literally edible mushrooms, but practical toys specially chosen by Shimin and Vivian). Shimin's an expert in choosing presents that are super useful. (:

Here is one of the neoprints.. The rest are in my facebook album.

Thank you Dorothy for treating us to the machine!! (:

Dory's Sweet 16

2008-12-05T09:26:00.003+08:00

HAPPY SWEET 6teen

dear DOROTHY! (:

May all the best go to you.. Enjoy your overseas trip!

Cleared!

2008-12-03T15:24:00.006+08:00

WOAH!

I cleared out all my secondary school textbooks from my drawers finally. You can weigh the entire stack. I dragged the bag out of the room. Couldn't carry them at all.

As for worksheets (you guys should know, the amount the teachers _____ us with), I managed to clear one big plastic bag full of PAPER. One only. But I am not totally done yet. I still see my Mathematics, English, Social studies and Physics file left behind in the corner of my room.

Sorry guys, I don't have any photographs to show because my handphone connection to the computer takes a lot of effort; and... time.

Anyway, my N6288, which has been faithfully by my side for more than a year, is starting to fail me, old and sickly. But its okay. My 21months contract will end next February. And a new handphone might be my next birthday present! I am considering a Sony Ericsson. A Cybershot would be great.

Outing with Jingyi

2008-12-02T22:27:00.004+08:00

On JOB HUNT again- today.

I did it alone first. [Quite fun.. Haha]

Later in the noon, Jingyi came and accompany me because we were planning to go to HQ and make our concert souvenir. So people coming, please appreciate that door gift. We do this painstakingly. Our very first pieces used up 2 hours of our time as we were trying out, sewing, cross-stitching, unpicking, and stuff. We had only one sample, and an image in my handphone.

I don't intend to post the pictures of our process, cos' i guess its meant to be some surprise for potential audience.

I reach home only at about 830pm.

Anyway, one toy store used to be my favourite childhood hang-out. But unfortunately, it had left my great impression of them ruined this hols. Too bad. Their customer service hotline wasn't very friendly. I wouldn't want to mention its name.

Yep, I don't like writing long stories on my blog. I don't want to tire readers :)

Keep Going

2008-12-01T17:58:00.003+08:00

There have been quite a lot of things that are keeping me going this holidays. I have never felt this way before. It's certainly difficult to express it on a blog.

Firstly, I am really glad I am still in great contact with all my good friends. Hopefully, we'll be able to carry out the goodie goodie plan for Dorothy's sweet 6teen! Yep.

Next, I am back to the dance team; back to my friends; back to faith. And what's more, our very own SPRING IV concert, coming up in 13 December, 7pm, which I am really looking forward to.
Psss... I've got 10 tickets with me now. If you guys are free and arr interested, please contact me!

Also, I am playing with my cousins, 2 really great people who make my day!

I am actually still looking for a job-- not in a rush though. But that is another thing which have been keeping me going this hols. You knoww why? Because when i shop, i look about, for.... pieces of paper which read: HIRING! (:
Tell me if you have any lobang!

Hmm, what else...?

It's gonna be my secret.

;)

2008-11-27T18:44:00.002+08:00

A great day today!

Some of you might know why (:

Just felt a little disappointed with a person. The way she replies when someone shows concern. Certainly not something very please to hear from.

But it's alright! I'll be fine again soon.

And I am fine now! (:

Anyway, Vivian, I am very glad to hear about your fortunate events. I can say you are a definitely super lucky one. Well. You must be over the MOON! All the best.

Micromouse

2008-11-25T15:31:00.003+08:00

I just returned home from my very first Robotics training with NYJC. We had micromouse today. And I was asked by my seniors to create a new 8-by-8 maze for us to train on [for today]. FYI: The picture above is not the one I created. Just to show a part of the MIGS900 programming interface.

Apart from Terence, Nicholas Ng is another senior who knows micromouse programming. They were coaching 4 other J1 seniors on how the micromouse and its MIGS900 work.

Had a good time there today. Because I really like NYJC's environment. I had this undescriptable feeling whenever i enter the campus. Hope it won't go, when I start schooling there for the next 2 years.

P.S.: Desmond, you are so popular.. I should have went around and socialise more during the competitions for the last 4 years in PHrobotics club :P

Don't be too upset

2008-11-23T22:00:00.003+08:00

Don't be too upset, Dear Shimin...
Treat it as another experience. Maybe we are just too young. We will see a brighter future awaiting you. All the best in your SP next year!

Haha. I am gald I have been keeping it simple.
Life is full of ups and downs.

Not My Fault

2008-11-23T21:19:00.003+08:00

Well. Anyway I would like to clarify that I did not go for the dinner with Huishan because my mother don't allow. It's not like I rejected it on purpose or whatsoever. I AM trying to get my friends to invite MY FRIENDS to outings. And I am doing my best.

I have made it clear and I MEAN it--- about me, seriously disliking cliques within cliques, best buddies among best friends kind-of stuff. So, don't misunderstand me.

I am also trying to make a point here. I am treating every girlfriend of mine equally. If I don't seem so to you, then perhaps you have only seen the one side.

Ok, enough of that friendship thingy. Since it's the hols now, there shouldn't be any conflict at single all.

Xingyi, Angela, Simin: I am really glad to be back with you after long 3 months!! (:

I don't understand, and now I know it

2008-11-23T21:12:00.002+08:00

I don't understand, and now I know it.

Sometimes I ponder on human's behaviour, and it isn't on purpose.

I don't feel like explaining cos' I guess I am just intending to know it myself for the time being.

Do you really know who is good to you?
Do i sound like i just took a line from "The Ten Brothers"? Shouyi and Xingsan returning to the evil Marshal and disregarding, betraying their own parents.
Perhaps it hasn't been clear to you. But it's alright.

Schedule received

2008-11-18T22:07:00.002+08:00

Yeah. I received the email on my DSA Robotics schedule from Terence at 9:52pm just now.
So afterall I might still have to attend training this holiday. It would be more difficult to get a job now because my schedule and training dates are not exactly confirmed.

Perhaps I should really use this holidays to boost my programming skills, to prepare GP, to go for my dance training and play (because I think I do need this after studying for 4 years) instead of working. All in all, coming to think of it, I would only have about less than a month to start work proper.

So... Let me reconsider. A little time set aside to think thoroughly would be great.

JOBS

2008-11-17T21:11:00.002+08:00

I went to SK Library to search through Recruits and end up with nothing suitable.

I can't work full time. And that's the biggest problem. Or not i would have taken up jobs easily. I got to wait for my DSA schedule which I would receive from Terence tomorrow. Maybe by tomorrow i will be able to make a decision whether to take up full time.

ARGH! I NEED A JOB!

Prom

2008-11-15T21:13:00.003+08:00

I am starting to miss my school, my teachers, my friends, and every single bit of Pei Hwa.. And I'm not lying.

I didnt wish the prom would end that early, i wished it would last. Forever? I couldnt believe I actually feel this way right now.

It's not the end of year 2008 yet. But things seem to change really soon. Maybe too soon. Friends. we're all leaving each other, going different ways after yesterday. However, we shall only part physically. Let our hearts hear each other even when we are miles apart.

I will remember you guys. I will NEVER forget you guys.

Because you'd played important roles in my life. Some of us started our Chapter 1 8 years ago. While others, although it may be a short 4 years, our friendship is going to last for eternity.

Let's keep in contact even after we've gone on separate routes of our life.

Best Best Friends, Forever.

i hope i wasnt too harsh

2008-11-14T10:22:00.002+08:00

I hope i wasnt too harsh about it last night. I really didnt mean to hurt you.. I really did my best to phrase it in a way i didnt sound like i was blaming you. And i did NOT blame you a single bit, dear friend.. :)

Perhaps i really do not understand you as much as i expected myself to be.. I'll try to be more conscious next time. I'll try to be more understanding than ever. And i'll do my best to make your day a happy one to start and end with everytime.

All because, you are my angelic friend.

Jason Mraz

2008-11-11T18:50:00.005+08:00

Woah, I am listening to Jason Mraz sunddenly-- just because i tuned in to 987FM last night and fell in love with his "Lucky".

I didnt know "I'm Yours" is also his song. It brings me back to many many wonderful memories... :)

Here goes, "Lucky", dedicated to you guys... Really cute, so please view...

P.S.: All the best to all who are taking last paper tomorrow!

Miss Chong FAREWELL

2008-11-10T19:39:00.003+08:00

Miss Chong, my school principal, will be retiring this year. Thus, our prom night is also partly a tribute and farewell for her. Huishan and I are tasked to plan a short stage performance to dedicate vote of thanks to her contribution this past 4 years. The song I Will Remember You by Ryan Cabrera, has been given approval from the teachers, and we are inviting as many students to join in the mass singing.

Please do not hesitate because it would really be one best opportunity to show her that you appreciate whatever she had done for us.

And also a reminder to people who want to thank her in other ways: we can make a little card with a few words; sincere and true from our hearts. C'mon pioneers, don't feel shy. I think it is cool if you do that :)

Physics Paper.

2008-11-10T19:27:00.004+08:00

I've got so much to say, but I don't know how to express myself today. I don't know what's wrong either. So I might have some problem entering one post. But don't worry guys. Not much of a deal. Haha. >.<

I had a really [really] bad stomachache last midnight. Neither could i sleep, nor did i want to wake my mother up in the middle of the night. Hence, I just applied the medicated oil, and waited for the erractic moments of pain to come and go. Once or twice it came too bad, i rushed to the toilet.
Fortunately I am fine to take the paper this morning.

Physics Paper 1 today. And after that one cold hour, we left the hall to find out that Amanda was actually isolated at the back of the stage to do her paper. She was having bad gastric, and the examiners led her out from our usual sitting arrangement and her paper started late. One lot of us stayed to wait and also for the rain to get smaller. We stayed in school for about an hour.
Hope she's better now. Ah, and yes, she did reply to my text message! :)

YES! YES! YES!
I've only got another 1hour paper to go on Wednesday and I shall declare to the world:

I AM FREE!!

P.S.: Shimin, I am so excited! :)

meaningful outing

2008-11-08T22:19:00.002+08:00

Wow.. I enjoyed my outing totally today. In the morning, dorothy, barry and i made our way to city hall to study for our paper ones.. physics and chemistry yeah, and huishan joined us at about 12. We also went for lunch together and shop shop shop around raffles city. So FUN! *right, dory?

The shopping trip after the exhibition was really interesting as well! :)

FYI: We visited The Arts House located behind padang for Ms Toh's solo exhibition- Meesuah. Nice catching up with Ms Toh again. I believe the e5s were really glad to meet her again!

P.S.: i was totally a different me today. U guys should understand what i'm talking about. Skirt? A japanese schoolgirl? Haha.

Updates

2008-11-06T20:09:00.002+08:00

Everyone is screaming about O'levels ending soon.

Yeah, for many, we are only one week away from freedom--- FORMALLY.

Anyway most of us got our prom dresses and suits already. I shopped for mine with Mom last friday. And i heard Barry went to get his today.

I took a look at Shimin's, Amanda's, Vivian's and Dorothy's dresses. I've seen Huishan's. And i saw Derrick's top, he sent me a picture through mms. :)

Oh well. This is a secret:
I am somehow looking forward to the prom. Not because we get to dress up. But it's apparently last day of school; it's the last day the Sec 4 whole cohort would gather again together. To think we actually came as the first of pioneers of my school. It could be the last chance i would ever get to talk to some people. [Well, i know some people might think that a prom is lame--- Not to me.]

Nostalgia. >.<

HAPPY SWEET 6teen!

AND THAT'S ALL!

13 Nov, I will be freed.
14 Nov, PROM...! :)

WEEEEEE~~~

what is complete revision? How much is enough?

2008-10-18T20:49:00.004+08:00

What exactly does it mean to complete revision? How much is enough? Is there a guage?

I'm starting to believe why people say being a student is getting more and more challenging. I wont say it's tough, because i think working in our society today is even tougher.

Challenging! We are like running some long distance marathon, and there- STAMINA is so much needed.. Haha. Making studying equate to running.. Sounds funny. But it's true. Dont u agree? :)

My sister was asking how adults should actually understand what their kids are going through. Wow. It's really not easy- see how u compare the past education system to the present.

I'm glad my parents are thoughtful and understanding people. My mom prays for my health and high life condition, asking me to not overstress; and my dad encourages me now and then. :)

Well. That's all for today. Cos i want to continue my chem revision. I'm HOPEFUL, wish u guys are as well. ALL THE BEST.
Loves.

Not in school today

2008-10-16T10:25:00.003+08:00

4 more days to O Levels!

I did not attend lessons today because I decided I should actually make use of my time for my art paper 2. My progress is rather slow, but I am aiming to finish it by next week anyway. I am probably buying some art stationery later; coloured/textured paper, pen, etc.

And perhaps go for a swim to do some exercise. :)

Today: Art + English Comprehension

Friday: Chemistry TYS + Add. Math Papers

Sat: English Compo + Situational Writing

Sun: Chemistry Revision (Overview)

Cheers, everyone!

Just want to create a post to cheer on some of my friends who are taking their O Levels Science practical tomorrow; Vivian, Ziming, Barry, Cristina, Singyun...

JIAYOU! ALL THE BEST!!

I happened to watch "Women on Top" yesterday night at 8pm on Channel U.
Interesting topic: Women's Beauty (Inner and Appearance).. Wisdom is still most important indeed, and as long as I am happy, who cares, right? :)

Dedication

2008-10-12T20:46:00.007+08:00

Dedicated to Derrick (bro^^),
Thank you very much.. :)

Real friendship is a rare and precious gift,

strong, stable, yet fragile,

and never to be taken for granted.

Many people will walk in and out of your life,

but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

9 Days to Olvl

2008-10-11T22:44:00.004+08:00

9 more days to O Levels.

I went to AMK library this morning till around 5pm. I like taking bus 86. (i dunno why either; perhaps it takes a detour round jalan kayu! memoirs.)
I found a nice seat. And guess who i met. 3 XMS girls, who coincidentally are my ex-friends' (classmates) classmates. It was a great encounter.

Shimin came to look for me at about 3. and we left together :)

If you are not Miss Universe, Miss Singapore or Mr Hunk

2008-10-11T22:33:00.003+08:00

If you are neither the Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Singapore, Mr Hunk nor Singapore's Next Top Model,

I would appreciate very much that you stop your critisism of others' appearances; and looks.
You have hurt those people. I am utterly disappointed.

I do not think you own any right to do so anyway, though you may think it otherwise.

How often, i tell myself that looks doesnt matter. So what if i strongly believe so? The society has people like you who always enjoy pin pointing-- as if you have nothing else better to look into.

I just want to remind you, everyone on this earth deserves every priviledge you hold.

At this note, and more than Ziming can emphasize to me, inner beauty will ultimately shine. You wait and see.

Things are getting werider

2008-09-25T22:10:00.006+08:00

School: it's tense right now and the atmosphere is too stiff i feel like I am suffocating. It's not right. It's not the 'O's, and it's more than just some friendship knots which I can't untie.

I dont know what has gone perfectly right to wrong for me these days. I read my pals' blogs, and i figured there was something wrong. I am seemingly involved in certain cases but I am unsure if my views are correct.

I just want to make a neutral stand. I told Dorothy and Shimin today. I told them how i feel.
I don't fancy cliques within clique; best friends within close friends. Close friends, friends and mere aqquaintances.

I am feeling rather troubled. Friends, tell me if I did something wrong.
As for now, i can only tell you i did did my best.

How am i to help someone, if they don't help themselves?
Pals, i need you by my side now. *peace.

Maybe i should just gear for the 'O's afterall.

Prelims

2008-09-09T17:44:00.000+08:00

等下一个天亮

等下一个天亮

去上次牵手赏花那裏散步好吗

有些积雪会自己融化

你的肩膀是我豁达的天堂

等下一个天亮

把偷拍我看海的照片送我好吗

我喜欢我飞舞的头发

和飘著雨还是眺望的眼光

Happy Birthday Derrick

HAPPY SWEET 6TEEN

DERRICK!

Yoohoo

2008-08-16T12:18:00.003+08:00

Yes, true enough, after days of late night, I managed to complete my final artwork.

BUT

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish my coursework prep board.

AND

Fortunately, our prelims question is to use our O Levels Topic.
Plus, i've got encouragement from MISS TONG AND MISS HIDAYAH!

THAT MEANS

I still have time and I am once again motivated to obtain my distinction. So you know what i mean by this paragraph right?
If i cannot continue the prep boards, i will not get an A for art. And that means I've back down my words.

That's all for today. I am doing my research for the prelims.

Art Attack

2008-08-02T17:38:00.002+08:00

Art Attack:

Deadline for coursework-- 15 August 2008
I am 65% done. Should I be glad or glum about this?
As a matter of fact, I am completing it faster than my peers.
However, within one more week, I must be doing another 35% of it. After much calculation, i would probably be staying back practically every school day to achieve something.

Colour scheme is a problem. I have been stuck lately, because I ran out of colours and imagination. (Is this ever possible? I mean running out of imagination..)

Next, my prep boards. I have 8 to complete. Currently, I have things on all 8. But Board 6, 7, 8 is half way to meeting my expectations. What is this??

I think i should stop lamenting. ><

Oops

2008-07-26T15:03:00.002+08:00

Opps. Sorry for this late post!

Load of happenings... Haha. Here goes. This is a brief summary:

7 July: My last performance in Kotekitai this year, next one would be end of year SPRING iV!

21 July: Racial harmony, wore SARI!!! :)

NOW: BUSY! Homework and revision coming on my way...

SORRY! Got to go..

Jiayou

2008-06-27T19:08:00.004+08:00

Cool... I've started to gain more confidence about my artwork lately, though Miss Hidayah asked me to work faster, because i have only 3 weeks left! HOW time flies!

However, I am feeling rather jubilant too. I've decided to buy 0.1 and 0.3 tip black ink tomorrow (SO FINE right?), and Mr Koh said he would lend me his set of markers. Anyway, Miss Lin and Mr Koh are the new incoming art teachers who had just joined my school on Monday. They are really great!
Ow, and sadly, Miss Hisdayah is leaving soon--- In july. I got to prepare something for her... Hmmm, and i've got her contact number. Will miss her alot..

Oral practices during EL lessons was great today. We were teamed up and we took turns to practise reading aloud...

I've been stuck in the cycle of staying up late to complete my homework recently.. Oh my.

WELL. I guess that't all for today. I have to do my essays and EL conversation topics.. Yep. Will update again :)

ART

2008-06-22T22:41:00.005+08:00

I'm deadmeat tomorrow.

I haven't finish my English holiday homework. And i'm still doing my art now. To be handed in tomorrow for prelim grading.

I have been pushing myself to complete the coursework this whole holiday.

Seriously hope to finish it ASAP, so that i can concentrate on my other subjects like L1 ENGLISH!

Midnite

2008-06-21T00:07:00.002+08:00

It's past midnight and I am still here... First time. And I am surprised by myself too. I just completed my CME project, and sent my document to Huishan...

I guess this is all for now.

GOOD NITE! :)

Kotekitai Prac

2008-06-20T23:08:00.002+08:00

KOT practice was fun this evening. I thought all of us went kind of insane and off. Dance and laugh, my sister and her band mates came out chasing after one and other. Did not perspire much this practice--- I guess it was because of the air-con working at 18deg cel.

I went to West Coast Park with Kris on Huishan's birthday. I don;t want to talk about how we got there. The journey was hellish. Alright, we did manage to locate the place at last, with the help of Barry (THANKS). Party was great, huishan's mom could make great baked potatoes and pasta, and the swings (like flying fox) at West Coast were exciting. But, unfortunately i didnt manage to catch Desmond/ (Dominic). Thought I could perhaps talk to Desmond again. LOL. XP.

Ow, the neighbour up there (14th floor) was splashing water while washing their windows. Inconsiderate act. I thought I heard my neighbour below me shouting up at them, because her laundry went wet and dirty. She had to wash them AGAIN. My mom said she could understand how she felt. The town council should do something...

happy birthday huishan

2008-06-18T08:12:00.001+08:00

HAPPY SWEET 6TEEN, HUISHAN! :)

Happy Birthday To CAMI

2008-06-17T23:55:00.002+08:00

HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY TO DEAREST SISTER! CAMI.. First step into teenage :)

What's your view about shopping?

2008-06-16T11:56:00.002+08:00

Views about shopping; Do we shop too much?

relieve stress for working adults who have been working under pressure and students who would like to take a break from studies
update oneself about latest trend
imports, allowing locals to get overseas product without having to travel far
boost economy by creating more job opportunities
boost economy by having shoppers and consumers indulge in buying
creating opportunities for people who wants to become his/her own entrepreneur

one might become overly materialistic under influence of people who keep up to latest trends
splurge too much over "wants" instead of "needs"
increase credit card expenditure, causing people to go in debt
environment-unfriendly, plastic bags for packaging
attracts shop-lifters

What are your views? :)

Holiday HW

2008-06-16T11:04:00.004+08:00

HAPPY belated FATHER'S DAY!!
We did the same as what we did for Mother's day except it's for Papa yesterday; I drew the portrait of my father, and my sister is currently half way through a magazine collage for him... I think he will like it very much.

Well well. I just planned my schedule for the last bit of my holiday--- FINAL week.
According to it, I'm to do my English Conversation topics by today,
and try my best to finish up my comprehension (without summary).

O'levels is within 3 months time. I have planned to do peer teaching style for the months to come. Friends who are keen in joining me, you are certainly welcome..

Class Outing and FD Outing

2008-06-14T16:17:00.005+08:00

A wonderful sunny day at Sentosa with Huishan and Captain Crook
(This is this year's class outing)
JUMP! (This was last year's class outing at Sentosa)

Not much changes :)

I was at Sentosa with half my class and some schoolmates from other classes yesterday.
Class outing- cum- farewell party for Mr Nizam.
Quite fun, although I did not go into the waters.. Was a little wet, because the water bomb from MR Nizam, which was intially meant for Shimin, hit me! LOL X)

I was at East Coast Park this morning along with the FD (Future Division) people.

It was probably because of my pitiful attendance at FD meetings, that made Chloe conclude I was some new person, and (oh my...) a sec one student who just came to join them.

So, i introduced myself again to let her get a full picture :P

The games were real cool, and I got to know some new friends too..
HA! I hope my sister will attend more of the meetings, to avoid repeating my mistakes :)

Anyway i guessed the age of FD correctly! FD is 15 this year... YEAH

I will be graduating from FD this year,

and I can't wait to get into SD (Student Division)!!

JB

2008-06-10T15:12:00.002+08:00

JB City Square is a great place for family shopping.

I haven't done that for a long long time.. And I bought quite some stuff yesterday.

Thank you Dad, Thank you Mom!

Missed 4 episodes of The Legend already. Maybe will catch it from Crunchyroll or something.

Ow...

Anyway, friends: do pick up and learn basic etiquette for both ladies and gentlemen. It will definitely do you good in future.
