Secondary School Gang

This is the first time in many years that I met up with my Secondary School gang for 2 consecutive weeks. Last Saturday, we went to Orchard Canele to celebrate Collin's birthday.


I find the cakes so so. The chocolate cakes are too sweet for my liking. I like the tiramisu and strawberry shortcake best.

I loveeee Wan Lin's hair. So so nice! She did it by herself (and her curling tongs). Think I'll try it out myself one day.

On Friday, we went to Wala-Wala at Holland V to celebrate Wan Lin's birthday. That place was packed! I went upstairs to find my friends squeezed around a small table. It was a freaking small table! After we placed a plate of pizza and seven drinks, there was not even enough space for us to rest our elbows.


















Well, the saving grace was the band E.I.C, which was quite good. I so wanna dance to the music but didn't. It made my itch to go clubbing stronger. Can't wait for the exams to end. Hee!

*****************************************************

For the life of me, I can never ever learn how to get off a high chair gracefully. I knocked my thighs, my heels caught in the metal stand, I nearly fell on my face... Grrr... I think I may have exposed myself too. Urgh....! I think I need to learn how to get on and off high chairs urgently, considering most pubs and clubs nowadays use high chairs.

Lastly, Happy Birthday, Collin and Wan Lin!

Something meaningful

(Taken from 星期天早报)

Saw this comic in the newspaper today. I found it very meaningful. Going to use this next time on my future boyfriend. Haha!

Happy

I am so happy now. Finally completed a 2000 words essay on ideals of education with just 3 hours of sleep and 12 hours of typing. And that excludes two days of doing research. Phew...

I am so glad it is finally done! YEA!

No More Lies

I had taken a huge risk with my counselling assignment.

Question: After the four counselling sessions, what have you learned about yourself?

My reflections: I have learned nothing new about myself. I walked in and came out as the same person.


I have decided on writing the truth despite friends telling me to crap about it in order to be safe. I just do not feel like giving credit to my counsellor who really didn't help me in learning anything new about myself. I believe that reflections are supposed to come from the heart, not the mind. Thus, I decided on the truth.

I'm hoping that my tutor will buy my argument. It is a risk but I'm taking it.



And I feel good about sticking to my principles. =)

I Won't Go Home Without You

I asked her to stay but she wouldn't listen
And she left before I had the chance to say
The words that would mend the things that were broken
But now it's far too late she's gone away

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?
Hard to believe it

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you


But that night I went home without you. I am regretting it since. Should have stayed.


(I wonder why this is affecting me so much. I guess it is because I have already treated you like family.)

Heart-Broken

I've waited for her to call these past 2 days. She didn't. And I thought she would.

I know I said that I didn't want to pick up her call. But I will still pick it the phone if she called. Because the friendship is too important. And because I cared, alot, alot.

These 2 days, I have been thinking how to help. Really, I want to help. At some point in time, I became hopeful, thinking that my plan will work. Immediately after feeling hopeful, I start to feel scared. I am so afraid that she will push us away, locking herself up and we could never reach her.

I will always remember the night when she left us. She left us. We didn't leave her. Up till now, we haven't left her. But she left us that night.

Why is she so selfish? Why she kept on harping about herself? Why she thinks that she is alone? Why?? Aren't we somebody?

But maybe I am the selfish one. I keep wanting her to think for us, for her family. I have not gone through what she had. How can I understand? Maybe she is not in mood to think for anyone now.


I want to reach out to her so bad. Please come back to us.




There are many types of friends in this world. There are those whom you trust to look after you. And there those who go against your wishes in order to protect you. It is easy to be the first group. It is not easy to be in the latter. I know. And you know.

Burn Out...

Oh man.. I am so, so, so tired and burn out. This is supposed to be "recess week" but it feels more like "exam week". I have been rushing my assignments every day! I DIDN'T GO OUT AT ALL (except meal times). This is so pathetic lar..

I was running like a clockwork. Same routine, day after day.

9/10am: Wake up
10 - 1230pm: Assignment Time (AT)
1230-2pm: Lunch
2pm-330pm: AT
330-5pm: Nap
5-9pm: AT
9-1030pm: Dinner
1030-12midnight: TV
12-3am: AT

It is like this. F.I.X.E.D

I WANNA GO SING K, EAT GOOD FOOD, TALK COCK, SING SONG, SHAKE MY LEGS! -_-....

I HATE NIE'S PORTAL!

I hate NIE portal! Oh, wait. Did I say the same thing on March '08 and August'08? They NEVER LEARN, do they?? After 1 whole year, the same problem happens again!

I do not mind if they are down for 1 whole week or even 1 whole month during school holidays. To be down for the whole day when assignments are looming is really killing me! Maybe it is down for even longer since I only logged in today. I WANNA BURST WITH ANGER!!

We have 2 f*cking e-learning assignments to be completed this week! We have FOUR assignments to be completed next week! PLUS a test!! And the stupid portal has to be down!

I cannot get information about my assignment at all! So what should I do now? Go to sleep and pray that Sunday rewinds again? I don't wanna waste my time! AND I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE WASTE MY TIME!

The government pumps so much money into NIE for what?! To have this kind of lousy service which repeats itself year after year? PUI!! *Spits at the kind of service*

Photoshoot!

My photoshoot pictures are out! After looking through the pictures, there is only 1 word to describe me - fat. Yup, fat, fat, very fat! Urgh.....

Anyway, here are the photos. Enjoy my fat face!

That's all! =)

(P.S. Although you may agree that my face is fat, I will appreciate it if you keep any insensitive comments to yourself. Be good. =))

Braces 1st Month

(Want to post this a week ago but something's wrong with my blogger again.)

Dear Teeth,

Today marks the day when you have to be put into braces for the next 2 years. It is going to be an interesting 2 years as you will slowly move into place. In fact, I can't wait till the end of 2 years when I am going to have non-protruding teeth. Maybe, my face will be even sharper than now. I cannot wait. =)

I am very guilty that I have to remove 4 of you. 4 strong and healthy teeth. Sometimes, we've got to sacrifice certain things for the sake of beauty. But this doesn't erase the guilt I feel.

I am going to be like new mothers and mark your "growth" by blogging about it. As I said before, this is going to be interesting. And it is certainly a milestone in my life.

Late Night Thinkings....

I've just watched "I Am Legend" on HBO. It is the first time I caught it and I like it a lot. And this show really gets me thinking. What if this really happens one day?

In the show, 99% of the human population in the world turned into mutant humans because of a cancer cure. What if, one day, we manage to find a cure to cancer and it turns out like this?

I feel like we are walking down that path. Look at SARS. Look at H1N1. They are both mutated form of flu virus. Everytime we controlled one, stronger ones pop up.

In Buddhist teaching, it always talk about the 2 opposite sides. Light and dark. Day and night. Good and evil. Always about the balance. So if we have a cure, will new stronger viruses pop up to balance the whole system?

In Evolution, living things evolve to meet the meet the challenges in their ecosystem. So will the viruses evolve to a form when we can't find a cure anymore?

It is a scary thought. So far, the mutated flu virus only made us feverish, sore and with flu-like symptoms. What if a new mutated virus attacks the brain and brings out the animal instinct side of us? What if it makes us aggressive? What if it makes us irrational? What if it makes us stop thinking?





I just hope that when that day comes, neither me nor my loved ones will be around.

Out they go..

I extracted 2 of my teeth on Tuesday.


Here they are:






Didn't expect them to be so long. When I first had them out, I had a mixture of feelings inside me. First, I was guilty. They are healthy, strong, fine-looking teeth! Then, I was sad. After all, they WERE healthy, strong, fine-looking teeth. I was also disgusted. Coz now I have two big gaping holes in my mouth. My brother said that I looked like a witch when I laugh. Sharon told me I looked cute. I shall believe Sharon and practised selective hearing.

I am also excited. I even dreamt about having even, straight teeth. Hee! Can't wait after two years to see the results!

Anyway, these are my "before" photos. Two years later, I shall post the "after" photos.

The extraction of the teeth were not painful. The seperators placed between my teeth are the ones that are giving me pain now! They are placed there to create gaps for the ortho to place the brackets 2 weeks later. They made ALL my teeth super sensitive and super sore. I cannot even eat steamed fish without some discomfort! I have since practised the art of swallowing my food. =(

Going back on Monday to extract 2 more teeth. Haiz... Poor teeth. Going to buy a box with cushions and place my teeth inside. Very xin tong.

Havoc Nights

The Enemies clique had 2 "havoc" nights recently. I am loving clubbing!! Haha! (A little over-age, I know.)

We got Buttered

We are Rebels.

Actually, I had a lot of things to say about the 2 nights. But it has been so long since we took these photos. Grrr... Stupid blogger better not fail me again. Coz we are going back for our bottle at Rebel soon!

Quoted from Birdie: *Loves*

Trying not to be broke

Finally! My blogger seems to be running into problems every few days. I have tons and tons of photos to blog about but the blogger keeps giving me trouble. Grrr...

Well, school has started and I am loving it. Feels kinda weird saying it huh.. It is great to be in the role of a student again and not the role of teacher.

I have been really obedient too! I didn't take any cab at all this week! Last Tues was the first day in 3 years that I took MRT and buses to school. On Monday, I took MRT and bus home from Plaza Singapura which is also my first. I am finally kicking my habit of taking cabs. Yeah! Quick, praise me! Haha!

Shall post up my pictures soon. I got to go and sleep now. Night, world!

Bracing for Braces

Wah.. Finally, my blogspot is working. Havent post anything since there was something wrong with my blogspot.



Anyway, I have decided on this:







Yea! Have already booked the dates to extract my teeth and to put on the braces. I am so excited. On the other hand, I am going to miss my 4 teeth and my buck teeth. After all, they have been with me for more than 10 years.


(Decided to go for metal instead of ceramics because I am going to be very poor for the next 2 years. =( Bear with the ugly metal bah!)

I didn't know

I didn't know I like him that much. When I brought him up to my girl friends yesterday night, it just suddenly struck me that I really like him. To the extent of me feeling a little upset even after accepting the news for a long time already.

Reality Check

To "Her" who acts in the dark,


I don't get it. When two of your friends quarrelled and end up not talking to each other, isn't it your role to help them reconcile and to clear up misunderstandings? I don't understand why you had to make things worst by digging up the past and made him even more angry with her.

Thanks, man. No wonder he is so angry. And it is of no wonder that no matter what I said, it won't help.

You are scary. I finally get to know the real you.

For Hardcore Harry Potter Fans

A sms conversation with my brother



Me: Enjoy waiting for her.. =P (My brother was waiting for his gf)



Bro: Wa. Thanks. I shall enjoy harry's company.



Me: Haha! At first I thought who is harry... Haha!



Bro: Potter is the surname. Haha.



Me: Is he your gay partner? Haha!



Bro: No. He teach my magic.. Avadera kedava.



Me: *dead*



Bro: Yesh. Thanks harry. :)



Me: Harry not like that one lor.. U're lord voldermort!



Bro: I use wrong spell. Should use patronus on you. Lol.





For those who are clueless, patronus is used on this creature:













Stupid Bro.

Well, I think you can see blogging everyday for the next few days. I am stuck in this school with ABSOLUTELY nothing to do.

I can't wait to leave.

Genting Trip 2009

Ahh... Finally, I have time to blog about my Genting trip. =)

Took Silkair to KL before taking a cab to Genting.

They served only drinks on the flight. It was a mad rush. They served the drinks and before you know it, it was time to collect the cups.

Look at the state of my bag! This is the result of last minute packing. I didn't realise that my bag, which had been hidden in the cupboard for ages, had started peeling. It was too late to buy a new bag. So embarrassing! Countless people had stared at my bag! =( (I bought a new Converse bag in Genting.)

Still feeling hungry after dinner at Hao Wei. So we popped into Mary Brown before hitting the casino. =P

Anyway, here's a list of good places to dine in Genting. I really could not stand the standard of the food there.

Places I have visited (excluding fastfood):
1) Kenny Rogers
2) PizzaHut
3) Coffee Terrace
4) Torcello
5) First World Cafe
6) Only Mee Restaurant
7) Xiao Long Bao Restaurant
8) Genting Palace
9) Hao Wei
10) Various Foodcourts

Places that I recommend:
1) PizzaHut
2) Hao Wei
3) Torcello
4) First World Cafe
5) Convenience Stores for Cup Noodles

And so, this time round, my dad did some research for places to eat before the trip. His friend recommended the Mushroom Farm restaurant. It is not situated within the theme park. We had to call them to come and bring us to the place. The service was good and the food was so much better and cheaper than the ones in Genting. They are opened from 7am - 10pm.

The fish in the picture tasted like cereal prawn. Very special.

During the trip with my Enemies to Genting in 2005, we met Elvin Ng, the Mediacorp actor, in Coffee Bean. I really regretted missing the chance to take a picture with him. =( And so, whenever I visit Genting, I would always go to Coffee Bean, hoping that I will bump into him again. Keke! And I really met him this time round!!

On television. We even had coffee together. Haha!

On the last day, we set off to Sunway Lagoon to meet up with my cousins and nephews. Sunway Lagoon is a really nice place!! Many things to play, eat and buy. The shopping centre really wowed me away. There are soooooooo many shops and restaurants! I think that the shopping centre is as big as Vivo. Cool right?

In the hotel room, waiting for my twin nephews to wake up.

Water theme park in the background.

Ice-skating rink on the basement of the shopping centre.

I think I mentioned before in one of my previous posts that my Dad knows how to act cute. Here's another proof. Haha!

Early dinner at a Hakka restaurant before leaving for the airport.

The restaurant has a few Hakka dishes which I have never heard nor seen before. The topmost picture is Chee Cheong Fun with Chai Poh (the pickled veg that goes with Chee Kueh), the green glop is still a mystery to me but it tasted better than it looked and the picture on the right is bittergourd stuffed with pig's stomach and mushroom.

Family picture in the lobby of the hotel.

Finally, flight back to Singapore.


I love family trips. =)
