*** journalists out there, drop the taupok issue. it's not attention-grabbing anymore. AND, we have a name. it's insulting to refer to us as the "premier college in the bishan-ang mo kio area". our name's not hideous. come on, just spell it out!***

went to shumin's hse for mahjong session! yay, now i noe how to play liao :) we also played bridge and indian poker!! haha, ryan and i were the suayest, we drank like two n a half bowls of water each. fully hydrated! haha. and shumin's dog...tsk tsk. so fierce!! i played with it a bit..it keeps pouncing on ppl and scratching abt...and it runs like lightning. so i dashed to the toilet to prevent him frm pouncing and scratching again....ahaha..slammed the door quite hard :p..it's my fave breed anyway, silky terrier.

must say my og very on! nxt wk got ice skating session summore..muahahah. sad...nxt wk's schedule is a nightmare....

sch has been slack this wk..but not frm nxt wk onwards. yest after first lect (lit) the girls went to the RI canteen to try the legendary wantun mee..hahah, not too bad :) and we played some card games...but somebody kindly warned us that the discipline master was there, so we escaped to this ulu corner in sch. played for quite some time, then we had a mass handphone no. exchanging session....hhaha. so fun! i think our class can click really well, esp cos it's nearly all girls..haha.

we had OG lunch. the guys wanted to watch seed of chucky but of cos the girls dun..haha, so we went sumplace to hang out, and play a bit, and tease ___ and____ a bit...hahah poor them.. then as more ppl lef,t we started to play this SMS game for truth or dare...it's quite funny lar, but rather embarassing..hahah =) we also gave choir boy some tips...(inside joke inside joke). poor him...hahahah

today, we decided to be studious and headed for the canteen to do our maths tutorial. and suddenly mr A. popped in..hahah, jus for awhile lah. did for quite sometime till we were bored stiff, then we started talking, and shopping in our little bookshop. when we headed for our last lect, we took the lift, and we realised that the lift buttons can be "un-pressed" (like, u can cancel the floor no. that u pressed) and we went like "SO COOL!" (and the one third of the male population in my class rolls eyes)...hahah, so amusing. wanted to try for dance lah, under my mum's strong insistence...but the whole world was going....seriously..nearly the whole rgs population...sighz..but didnt go in the end, had a pact with mindy. and saw ppl auditioning for choir. it's quite amazing to see how ppl can be so passionate abt sth at the start...but seriously, after 4 yrs, u get cynical abt it. and guess what, practices end at 8 or 8.30 pm....WONDERFUL. it's strt away out of my list...or else, my hmwk can be a goner. cant wait for cca fair nxt wk....BRR...i hate this.

cant wait to watch phantom of the opera...anyone anyone?

tell me how many ways to spell fun man. yesterday was a SWELL!!! in the morn we had faction initiation, where we played station games with our class agnst classes of another faculty. my class was quite on lah, our pathetic 20 ppl class with only 3 ....yes 3 guys!!! (can the engine fac class pls donate some guys ?) when we needed to pair up for station games, our class needed to have "lesbian" pairs...so funny. sighz. so i'll prob live the next 2 yrs like life in a girls' sch again.

later on was the donation drive for the tsunami victims. my OG went to ppl's park at chinatown. my partner zhiwei looks damn guai. so we started off with a bang, getting abt 30 - 50 bucks in the first 5 min. thnks to his goody look. was quite touched that so many ppl donated so generously. 10 bucks or 5 bucks at a time. so i decided to donate 3 bucks out of my own allowance. we also made our ogl breakdance in public. so we went back to sch, while testing our new guy andrew on the lame-o mrt game that dexuan my ogl cleverly started.

our legs ached like mad so we decided to chill at the k'cove, and started changing for the orientation nite. our theme was goth, so all of us wore black stuff and powdered our face, put black eyeliner, purple lipstick. and the guys had garbage bag capes. the best of all is, all the guys were so on abt the makeup!! they didnt mind having black nail polish and eyeliner and lipstick.....hahah, so i manicured all of them. and jie mei chee hoe said he will wash them off with turpentine..haha. the guys think that the nail polish will miracuously drop off on its own lor...sighz. then we got to the hall for the pageant...which was ok lar, nothing much, most of the time the ppl scream into the mike and we cant really hear anything, so....

then it was the campfire....jus like the one we had during p5 camp, where the fireball rolled down from the 2nd floor. and we started dancing! haha, i think they shud haf taught us the cute sundance! but niwae, for the batch dance, the guys had this section of floor moves. wah, then they so on u noe! hahahha, kinda like mini-breakdance. then we went back to our pizza..which arrived too late. so since we needed to get out of sch by 945, we went to the busstop to have pizza party! while writing notes from everyone. sighz....i will so miss my og and orientation. really glad to have such an enthu og! love u, ennaux

school was more fun today! i like station games!! esp cos my grp is quite on :) won majority of the games. the game where the guys put "tails" on their pants was the funniest!! haha, we were busy forming formations to protect their butts..hahahhahahhahha. learnt the batch dance too. think it's quite fun! i haf understood the need to enjoy what u are doing to do it well...the essence of 'performance' i guess. u have to enjoy what u are doing to convince the audience that it is fun. therefore, it's no use being un-enthu, cos in the end the ppl looking weird and out ofplace will be them. must mention our enthu dance king, zul. shud see him groove man...hahah. as u can tell, i quite like my grp :) ppl are nice, on, and no cold blanket kinda ppl.
spotted zhang jin arnd today...if ph ppl still rmb who he is. rmb in pri 2, i was finally not the last reg no. in class cos he's behind me. going for amazing race tmr

school was quite fun today...besides the times when we just stoned in the hall or trying to crane our necks and listen to the rules of some sit-in-a-circle game. actually i dun really like the feeling of going over orientation again..the whole thing abt comfort zone? haha, let's tok abt my grp. grace(rg) was the first person i talked to. not like a typical gep lah, u noe, the stereotype abt them being eccentric and all. and shu min...prob see each other arnd b4. and this nice st nick's girl shuting, small and cute :) once again, contrary to popular belief of st nick's girls. she's quite smart! and many more lah, the girls were all ok.
as for the guys....*rubs chin* they all look the same to me..................haha. except for those with impressionable images. haha.. sure feels good to have ppl hold the doors for us :)

also met the good ancient hu6-ers, good old 203-ers and not that old 401-ers (wy and her cute fringe! ). niwae, i kinda dread the thot of going to classes..and this time...LECTURES. how do i survive thru lectures. but, my ny resolution is to mug hard. why? cos i'm SO SICK of the feeling of not knowing things even the day b4 O's. therefore, i will try really hard, to start mugging all the way from j1. i regretted not working harder in s3. therefore, let not history repeat itself.

finally i'm back home, after 5 tumultous flights (including cancelled flights and my sis's lost baggage) frm vegas - LA - vancouver - tokyo and home..okie, 4. i believe i can tolerate any other long haul flights after this.

well well, cant believe it's 2005. life has been good to me the past yr. besides little hiccups and undesirable stuff like O's. this yr's events really made me believe that God has His plans for everyone. and i'm more than grateful for them. who would have thought that I could be where i am now?

well, about my holiday. it was a SWELL time. besides the flights and transits and long waits at the airports. Vancouver was pretty, and like my 2nd sis says, a nice place to retire. ppl are frenly, nice weather, nice environment. we weren't with a grp then, so we got to move around ourselves, which i really prefer, becos u feel like u are really experiencing life as a canadian.

nxt was san francisco. it was still sunny when we went there. yummy seafood and mostly sightseeing. not to forget shopping ....hahah. again, all travelling on our own, so we've figured out the public transport system. sure beats taking a tour coach and stopping for 15 min photo stops.
also went on this 17 mile drive thing along the pacific ocean's coast. huge waves...awesome...simply. and as a geog student even the swash and backwash and sedimentary rocks excites me....(ms pang is SO proud of me)

next is LA where we joined the tour grp, where we went to universal studios (i like it!) and disneyland. reliving childhood :) and at disney, it was really "the merriest place on earth" . seeing children getting so happy over the simplest things, believing that mickey really does exist....makes me wonder about the simple joy of life. why do we keep wanting more? why cant we live like children, where all we need is just something to believe in that will make us happy.

went to grand canyon, once again overwhelmed by nature's beauty. (geog geog) well, will post photos sumday.......it's a lot of work

next was Vegas! (dad's eyes light up). overwhelmed by neon lights, but it was cool :) had nice buffet brunch at bellagio, the best hotel there (where ocean's 11 took place) and went around pretty much on our own. went shopping at factory outlet !!! hhaha, i wish there were some in Sg. amd we went to play at Circus Circus hotel and we won a soft toy each :) reliving childhood once again. so then our flights home started...

end of story

this is fun!!!!!!!! i have been deprived of the net for one whole week and finally, a hotel hat has free internet access! in san francisco rite now, not as cold as vancouver. sighz, i really hated the flight from sg to vancouver cos there were 2 transits and LONG LONG waits.

vancouver's fun, and quite cold, but i survived..hahah. gonna have a swell time for the rest of the 2 wks, and it's back to sch once i get home. cant believe this. i'm going to JC!!??!! ahhaha, but i'm loving life now :) kinda forgot some of my maths (looks at sis's notes). hahah, so tata, will try to be back!

yes, all my bags are packed, i'm ready to go (leaving on a jet plane lyrics) :) it's quite exciting! hahah, this trip is the wrapping up of the year, and looking back, i really can't believe that this year had jus flew by! the rushing syllabus and homework, mugging during jun hols, prelims, the big 'O's, prom. now it's all over!

it's weird how time works its ways

went on a triple date...hahah, with marilyn and jasmine.. to a concert. i didnt know it was the students type of concert....but niwae, sad to say, i truly enjoyed only 2 songs out of...25. haha, but anyway, the flying hands and flexi fingers made me feel this ---> . small, like the fullstop.
i seriously dun think i can make it if i were to take the exams nxt yr, unless some miracle happens to my hands, or it wud be as gd as throwing 500 bucks of registration fee into the fire. and i dun think i deserve truly and wholly, my grade 8 cert. yep


yay!! there's a phantom of the opera movie coming out 23rd sept....can only watch when i come back, but i will definitely try to make it! and u noe wat??? steph came online earlier this afternoon..in FLORENCE!!!!!!!!!! argh.....................................italy is so my ultimate ultimate dream destination. she was at rome, moving on to venice. VENICE! argh.......hahaha, and she was saying the guys and girls there were so hot...like duh uh


hope to take some great scenery shots in canada :) looking fwd..it's been like such a big thing of the yr........well, somehow at the back of my head, i still worry abt how my papers are doing in cambridge...ticks? or crosses? and i am darn worried abt my PAE....god bless everyone's PAE

went to bugis today for the 3rd consecutive time...haha, my mum is mad.....haha, no lah. first we went on sun to shop..as normal. then she needed to exchange shoe size, so we went back on mon. then she regretted not buying this really good bargain stuff, so she sent me to get it for her. yay, now i have a new dorothy perkins bag....cos had xmas voucher chen yu gave me, *beams* and i was given this gucci envy me (the scent) sampling paper....it rocks! damn nice!!!! now...like, 8 hrs after i got it, it still smells great :)

then went to orchard lib...to get my dad's san1 guo2 yan3 yi4...haha but i cudnt find...he's on this mission to make me read all the chi stuff...-_-" then i did self shopping!! haha, didnt buy anything but went to try stuff at zara, forever 21, charles and keith ...hehheh...qt fun! and hung out at sasa for a while...but i hate the way their ppl keep staring at u...><

yay, must congratulate janice on getting her hp!! hahah, i think she was the last in our class to get it....me being the last second...hahahah. both same situation one....haha :)

taufik rocks my socks! ahhahha...cant get over it :)

cut my hair after ikea trip with chen yu. well, still can tie but my pony tail's like....20cm shorter and the julie biscuit length..hahah. but i dun really care how short it goes, cos it will grow back anyway...bet it will be longer when i get back to sch again..so *shrugs* no worries =). yep, went ikea with chen yu today and on the bus we saw this senior...whom we recognised and she recognises us too...so she kept smiling at us, giving us the i know u know me, and u know i know u know me look...yep..but thnks for telling us it was the stop, or we wud haf been lost somewhere in queenstown. well, i didnt have anything in particular to buy, esp becos my mum will prob scream at me if i buy some uselessly cute stuff home...yep. so our aspiring hsewife chen yu...not aspiring lah..hahah, bought a laundry basket and some glasses and a rug. we were getting so excited at the thot of decorating our own hses...sometime in the future.(and the really cool dollhse--imagine, painting ur own walls, and putting in "wallpaper") it's really cool, and she likes the farmhse look while i like the zen look, the dark wood and frosted glass combi (yeah baby). and chen yu prob understands the extent of my obsessions with boxes and uselessly cute stuff...but at least i practise self control :)

i really LOVE the sony handycam ad...i like the song, very special and the words

it takes 3 seconds to fall in love, but 3 decades to get along
3 centuries to preserve a tradition, but 3 minutes to embrace another,
3 colours to paint the world, and 3 megapixels to capture it all

nice rite? hmm....



i think we are all really very blessed...my mum always tells me about her days in malaysia, growing up in a kampung, and how they threw stones and their slippers at bunches of rambutans, even green unripe ones, because they have nothing to eat. that's how blessed we are. everyone on my links, everyone of my frens. no matter how bad life can be to u.....how bad can it be compared to someone who faces difficulty just finding food to eat? and what's on our minds now...how we gonna get strt As for 'O's, what sch we are gonna get into, what scholarships are we gonna apply, what jobs do we wanna get in the future. well, that's reality...i mean, what else can u think about in the world now? in sunday's life, there was an interview with this forensic scientist and she said, in our lives, we endeavour in pursuits for this and that certificates, but when we die, we all get the death certificate. tht's really sth to think abt......well, we cant change reality, and how the world works, but perhaps sometimes we can stop to think about what we are doing, and what our actions mean. if everybody thinks this way, the world will become a better place.

i just applied for PAE subject combi for rj...felt scary..all these application stuff...feels like gambling ur life away. i mean seriously, our lives are affected by our every decision at this stage. and my dad asked me to put higher chi for the odd combi option...(what's new)...i was really scared abt putting that. not tht i dun like chi but i seriously doubt i can do it...all the chinese history, etc...competing with prc-s? no way....dun be surprised to see me reading some "zhong1 guo2 li4 shi3 5000 nian2" (china's history--5000 yrs) nxt time...

packing has been gd! i mean, really, i have no use for ALL those junk niwae. i am on one of those song addictions again..previously it was jewel's foolish games (really nice..go listen to it) and now it's anastasia's left outside alone. addiction as in i listen to it over and over again. call me mad.
i have come to realise that i am a person who ..how do u put it...is very nian4 jiu4...no 1. i dun like changes to my lifestyle...as in like, drastic changes. no 2. i really treasure things that bring back memories of the past...tht's why i keep a lot of things...tht ppl may deem as junk..(dun worry i dun live in a pig-sty like place...still neat as ever)..eg, i have a little box for pri sch stuff, going to have one for sec sch stuff...oh well, tht's me :)

prom's over! feels surreal....but yeah, we had a great nite. the dinner itself was no big deal lah, ooh, and naf got miss personality! we went to watch midnite movie! bridget jones 2, my first LEGAL nc 16 movie..muahaha. it was so sweet....the mark darcy was absolutely SWEET! oh...and i watched the chanel no. 5 ad!!! *yay* quite cool lah, like a mini movie. but it's quite irrational to make an ad that costs like...a few millions...........but then again, chanel can easily earn that by selling a few tweed jackets.

then huiling said we look like a grp of delinquents hanging out with makeup and all...(not me!)...hahahah. after the movie, we went walking and visited all the 7-11s, from mandarin to orchard mrt and from shaw back to paragon...then we went back to play cards!! hail bridge!! hahaha, huiling is a gd tcher lor...and a gd player...hmm...can deceive ppl with her seemingly innocent looks...hahahah

yeah, and we decided to start gossiping...hahah, cleo who wanted to slp cudnt resist the temptation to unleash the gossip queen in all females...*muahhah* yeah. and i slept for a non-existent 1/2 an hr. went for complimentary brkfast with steph :) since my dinner was like...pathetic...apparently not much ppl cared abt the dinner..and i missed the prawns *aww*. and one whole cup of coffee had totally zero effect......was somehow tempted to go shopping....but ahah came home to slp of cos!

watching LOTR -fellowship of the ring jus now.....it's still as magnificent, even though it's prob the 5th time i'm watching it. i think the middle earth its a really cool place! to think that tolkien actually imagined it. i think artists of the past are really wonderfully creative. stories, music, any form of art....nothing can be as rich and imaginative as those from the past. jus think--who would ever be able to create another world, another paradise....
aragorn is soooooo.....awesome....like so cool and xiao sa...(but he looks quite bad as viggo...hahah, so old) and i am still very sad abt gandalf falling down with the fire thing...though i know he'll be back... and i soo love pippin!!! he's so funny :)

What'>http://www.blogthings.com/numberquiz.html">What number are you?

yay, shopping spree started today, with my mum. yay, bought *counts* a new shirt, a nice nice windbreaker frm baleno, a pair of ankle socks for sch nxt yr (muahah), an eye massager hahahha (supposedly can help eyesight..improves blood circulation and all), my mum got a nice dress, a shirt. yup :) and pens for my sis

got my prom stuff :)...it's gd to have sises and mum of ur size cos can just take all the things u need frm them, so i've got the shoes, and the bag *no worries* i not stressed or kan chiong abt it at all leh..hahahhah

yay *excited* shopping is SOOO fun :) :) :)but i carry the bags until my hand pain *aww* hahahha...yay, and i trimmed my eyebrows free...hahah, got lobang..muahahah

it's kinda surreal yeah? yes, i slacked thru the nite frm 7 to 11, watched "how to lose a guy in ten days" on scv...yes, eve tore up her entry proof...yes, i am playing and blogging guilt-free, but i still dun believe that we have BEEN through, DONE it!!!! this feeling wont sink in....until i start my shopping sprees, and playing big-time!!!!!

yeah, currently, TOP on my agenda, to slack and slack till i get kinda bored, then SPRING CLEAN!!!!!!!! and shop and revamp my wardrobe..go shopping with my mama, such a guai kia...muahahah

haha, currently playing on neopets, to make my pet a rich one!!! then it can have lotsa food to eat...yar, my pet very simple one, no investment or auctions or fighting, jus play and eat, play and eat...hahahah

i cant stand it anymore...she thinks she's so philosophical about everything...EVERYTHING



but i dun think so


who cares...i've mastered the art of ignoring, ignoring, ignoring

i am soooooooooo sick of studying..physics...to be specific...*argharghargh* cant wait for hmm...5 days more and farewell physics!! it will be my greatest joy to personally see all physics wkshts get loaded onto the garang guni's lorry!!! everybody mus recycle ok? i feel so guilty for using SOOOO many pcs of folscap to practise amaths...and all the papers we get..that i prob wun finish all.

yay geog was gd..they always recycle mcq qns one lor....i spotted 3 repeats and a few similar ones. like sherilyn said, they probably have a memory valve or sth liddat, and when they run out of qns, they will jus dig out and reuse.hope paper 2 is gd!! my life depends on it.

i kinda shudder at the thot of getting back our results...quite far away lar, but still......wat if sth goes wrong...O_o....so scared. so mus enjoy life this few months. it's so weird...like O's had been our life's goal for the past yr and now it's like 3/4 over....it's like a part of ur life is over...like, a milestone...hahah. sumtimes i cant believe that we have got THIS far.

it's amazing how a MOMENT. a SECOND can change your life. like, during the exams, any wrong choice or a careless slip can affect everything else. isnt it scary to think that what u are doing NOW, might decide sth in the future?
