TSSSSK its not a nice day
Wednesday, January 27, 2010 @ 11:39 pm
Everything had to happen today. Alot of things happened today. Its like sometimes you feel that the whole world is falling/crashing down on you all at one go.

Well, heres what happened today.
1. Gran fainted, ambulance came. Hospitalised
2. Laptop got overheated, it died on me. Super duper hot. Like burning.
3. Friend issues.
4. Fell asleep twice during the movie "The 11th hour", of which it is going to be beneficial to me when I do my global warming topic for twt. Sq had to wake me up the 2nd time, because the movie ended already. But the lecture theatre was so conducive for sleeping, plus i was snuggled up in my jacket.
5.Chem Prac data sheet due tomorrow.
6.Audrey's suddenly not feeling well.
7. We just got a call, Gran's friend from labourward, Aunty Rumla just passed away. How do we break it to gran? Now that she's hospitalised?

See, 7 things happened today. What a day right? The 27th of Jan 2010. Never ever forget.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBS!
I could have slept longer.
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 @ 10:03 pm
Know what? Today SQ and I didn't know that twt lesson was cancelled because we're going to watch "An inconvienient truth" tomorrow afternoon. Therefore there was no lesson today. I feel like a total idiot. I arrived like 5 mins to 8am, and i was thinking, wow! I'm so early for class, no one else is here! Then came ziyuan( i think) and vanessa and zhuoway and some other guy. Then we sat in class until sq arrived like 8.15. Then waited and waited, then mdm rohanah never came. Then the guy said, OH! I THINK THERES NO LESSON TODAY. remember ...... Then sq and i were like. is it? Cause we left class early last week for body worlds. SO it turns out that there was no lesson today. Could have woken up at 0930! I didn't even have the urge to wake up at 0630 today! GOSH so dumb okay. I feel like an asshole.

Anyway, we went to nhwc, our home! Where michelle allowed us in, then i spent most of my time from 8.45am to 1130am in the consultation room. It has my lovely jeans smell there I'm sure. I'm glad i had my math notes there, if not i'll just be stoning the whole 2 hours or so! It was quite productive! Then 02 arrived for prac, and i had entertainment because of my new ipod that i bought over from sqq. Plus, i requested to borrow sq's laptop also, so i was quite well entertained. Slowly ideas group members arrived. I wouldn't say the entire team luh. One overslept, the other one, just outside. It was real weird. We were just starring at each other, throwing random ideas. Luckily we finalised our ideas WITHIN THE LAST 15 MINS. Meaning from 1045-1115, was pure crapping. But at least we got something done.

Then it was like Ms Ro Ann wanted to meet us, to talk. She bought us apple pie! Then theresa and peiyun had a showdown. SO SCARY. You 2! Suddenly just bomb each other like that, damn scary okay. Don't do it again, if you do it again. We'll really leave you 2 alone. Theresa brought 7 slices of cake to school. We had it for lunch. There was cheesecake, raspberry cheesecake, carrot cake, brownie, apple crumble, earthquake cookie. WOW. EAT UNTIL DAMN FULL. I could barely walk, like really bad. Its a time when you feel like farting, but you can't! I got alot of wind in my stomach. THANKS FOR FOC LUNCH THERESA ADRIANNE CHIA!

Then math for 4 hours. What do you expect? BORING, tiring, tiring tiring tiring and tiring.

Joke of the day: Rayu kept unhooking my blue dog bone hook off my bag. I didn't realise/feel anything. She said she did it many times already, and I didn't know. Of course luh I replied. I have no skin on my bag! How do i feel anything thats unhooked off my schoolbag! Then her repeated actions instigated Liying and Marcus to give it a go. BUT, since it happened so many times today already, I was becoming wary, and I'm improving and I can catch you now,if you unhook! I can "FEEL" it now. (i hope). But seriously, my sense of hearing and touch ain't that good aye!
28 days more.

SPRING CLEANING TODAY! Cleaned up the study room shelves and stuff. But my table is still as messy. Threw out alot of bags, you know those national day fun packs, and also the poly open house bags and also many other bags. Gran's going to send them overseas, to those people who need bags! OH I'm so glad the bags will be put to good use!

Mrs Koh is sending me for the September exam. GOSH she was like don't waste time already. Your last practical was in 2007. I still remember I was so freaked out, I cried in the exam room! Now its a grade higher, I think I'll just be frozen. Which calls for extensive practise. Meaning have to pracise my 3 pieces and scales and sight reading and aural everyday. Plus september is the month of exams, and right after yog. Do i have the time! I need to plan a time table!

Princess went for her haircut today, she looks so much "livelier" after the cut. She's bald and jumping around, so cute! She has been reduced in size! All the horrible thick fur all gone. She's super cute now! Sherm saw her on webcam, and my dumb internet kept getting disconnected. tsssk! ONOW tmrw at 0830!
HME TODAY
Saturday, January 23, 2010 @ 10:25 pm
HME TODAY AS WELL. At Dover Estate.Met my coursemates at dover at 0900 this morning. I seriously forgot all about the knee length stuff. I was sitting in the train, at orchard station already when i was thinking to myself how to work out and tone those fatty leg muscles. Then i suddenly realised I was revealing too much skin! I just loosen my belt so that the shorts appeared longer lor. Ended up pulling up my pants all the time during HME.

So how do I describe this HME this time round? Great Work done everyone! Group ELEPHANT rocks! Like as in E for EEEEEELEEEPHANT. Went up, then the walkie talkie called us to come back down to base camp. Then we went up again, and the walkie talkie called us down to base camp. I had fun playing with the walkie talkie, and communicating. I wish I could hear all the interesting stories that happened during HME today. How everyone got frustrated with the walkie talkies. Because the situation was so chaotic and everyone had their fair shares of arguements and miscommunicatios and frustrations. But I'm glad we still worked together as a team, to keep it going. Haha I want to hear Rayu's story! It sounds so intersting. Jia Min also has a story to tell me too! During break, I WON AT TAITEE okay.

Lunch was good. i think cause I was really hungry, covered the 2nd and 3rd floors. I think we were really fast, and efficient. Anyways, it was really busy at the bottom of the block. Like alot of people suddenly, then we were like oh no don't know what to do. But we managed well, with the help of SQ's group. So generally well done! ONOW on monday 8.30am. I get to sleep an extra 1/2 hour more! Like thats a really big deal. Well why do I always talk about school work at the end of a post? Cause its reality lor.

I'm knee-deep in debt. okay debt as in school work. Can't help but worry what would unfold for the upcoming projects mentioned earlier. Like 3 within the same week. And then urggggh. Don't even want to know what will happen if I just left it hanging.

Anyways, ZL is back from acid bar. She's drunk. Rest well girl! Plus Sherms already started studying for exams. I should also start soon right. I dread cny.
HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY ROXANNE LIM SUXIAN!
@ 12:00 am



Dearest Roxanne, you turn 18 today. How does it feel having lived 18 years of your life so far? Still young and many more years to come! This post is dedicated to you. I'm glad we met in IJ. Shared china together! I'll never forget those days, where we spent a week in a foreign land without our parents. I got to know you better through CHINESE CLASS. We spoke lots of english and gossiped alot. I miss those days where we'll compare answers and lives and talk alot during chinese lessons. We never paid attention in chinese class. But when it came to geog, WOAH. LIKE EARS OPEN WIDE WIDE. Then on the day of afternoon papers, we'll talk over the phone and chat and do whatever we like, before the paper.
HAPPY DAYS. OH HAPPY DAYS.
Well, 18 years dear. They flew by so quickly. So here's wishing you A HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY. You're legally 18! Don't go clubbing yet alright! Must wait for Joan Theng. She wants to go clubbing ( okay this is random!) Take care of yourself and we'll meet soon okay! Love you!

Mummy bought my cheesecake to cheer me up. Enjoying it now.
A typical thursday
Thursday, January 21, 2010 @ 7:58 pm
Today. 4 hours of chem! 32 days to exams! i'm mad right! Counting down to exams. Counting down may be 1 thing, but starting to study is another. Ling said that if we want to enjoy our cny, then we got to start studying now. Thing is, I don't know where to start! Horrible isn't it?

I'm so lazy now. I could doze off during chem lesson. Doing aldehydes and ketones today. What reactions, and such things. Luckily during break got yingxian to do chem with. AH BETH AND PAM just playing in the library lah.

I think I screwed up crs. I realised I didn't even write PROPER SUPPORTING ARGUEMENTS that support my stand. It was only I realised that cedric had his bio bio sickness things to write about, that i realise I am so dead. Because I wrote other factors! SHIT HEAD CLARISSA! 20% gone down the drain just like that!

Anyways, I attempted a question for chem lesson. Got it correct, that motivates me. ZL checked my answer for me, I couldn't hear what the teacher was saying. 2c? 2e? She had to keep repeating herself. So embarrasing. I hope IDEAS will turn out fine, Ms Ro Ann says that its better to come up with something new, and to use in Singapore Context.

I've decided to buy over qiqing's ipod 3rd generation. Its going to burn a big hole in my pocket. She's throwing in a cover. WELL. We'll see how things go.
Splitting Headache
Wednesday, January 20, 2010 @ 9:42 pm
Chem prac has left me with a splitting headache. Its been like that since 1.30pm. Smelling of the "banana" and "citrus" smell. It really smells more like thinner to me. Its so pungent and causes a splitting headache. The smell just gets to your head immediately.

Then after smelling it, she said, don't smell the alcohol ah. Just smell the ethers. Thats a bit too late now right. SQQ is selling her ipod, should I buy it? Its only 4gb and she wants to charge me $50
Monday, January 18, 2010 @ 10:15 pm
Today, well. Helped out with the flyer distribution at dover estate. Finished quite fast. Took Ms Toh's car to Mrt station. Well, she offered. Realised that she may be Mummy's junior, by a year or 2.

MATHCAD TEST TOMORROW. i can't freaking connect to mathcad via vpn. I can connect to vpn, however when i open up mathcad. It auto disconnects. it not only disconnects me from my msn, but also from vpn. which is freaking annoying.

TEST TMRW. DOOOOOOOOM. Body World excursion too!

Open House 2010!
@ 12:18 am
Heres a post just to sum up my busy 2 weeks of school. As you all know, OPEN HOUSE was a big event. Spent my 3 days with my classmates in the center. Its OUR center. WE OWN IT.I really found this picture extremely funny. Rayu looks like a soldier, so stiff. We were all doing the same pose lah. Just that she's really good at it. This post just contains some pictures, there are really more on fb. Especially the uglier unglamourous yoga pictures that were taken during our yoga session. Theres one of gpy laughing with her "HANDS COVERING HER MOUTH". Trying to act demure and gentle. RIGHT? Angela, this post is also for you, since I didn't really reply your tag on how open house was. This is how it went.


See, we had so much fun in this place. It holds fond memories. See, we were attempting my laughing ladder.



A day of Superficial Caring and Love
Saturday, January 16, 2010 @ 9:41 pm
Today was Great Grandmother's Birthday Celebration. Observing those around me, I'm really lucky that my close family isn't like this. This extended family, that I see only once a year or at weddings. I'm really lucky my parents teach me values that I treasure, even though I'm money minded, I love my family.

Today I could see all sorts of people. My mother's cousins, my grandaunts and granduncles and their families. I could see the first thing when they met, HAPPY HAPPY SUPERFICIAL CLOSENESS. I swear. I could sense the tense environment around. Handshakes everywhere, some say you can tell what a person's like when you shake hands. Some don't even get a grip of your hand properly.

Birthday girl? Well everyone said hi to her. But I could tell that the handshakes were mere touch and goes. Greatgrandmother had to REACH OUT TO shake hand. I'm thinking, as a form of respect shouldn't people extend their hand towards this 90 plus year old woman? Instead, she was doing it instead. Then its also customary for her to give out red packets on her big day. Her grandchildren, I saw just came and say thank you thank you. Like not with real gratitude, shook that reluctant handshake and went about to eat.

Then daughters and sons of ggm, were also arguing over money issues. Like how much money to pay for the buffet and cake. I'm dissapointed, like really, I hope ggm is happy anyway, that this has been planned and brought forward. It would have been great if grandad could make it. GET WELL SOON, SIGH smoke smoke smoke. tssk. Gran's away in Malacca, coming back tonight from her shopping trip.

So when audrey arrived, I flew off to Novena to "pick" her up, hoping to get away from that place for a mere 15 minutes. I succeeded.
Friday, January 15, 2010 @ 9:53 pm
Alamak.
CRS today. I don't know what will become of me.I really crashed it. I don't know what to do. It doesn't even seem like an arguementative essay. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Overshot by 170 words.
Next, on the way home. Kenna "caught" by Pei Yun.

They needed students who wore SP shirt to do some "exercise" at dnhw center. I flew there, and wore my socks. So hurried. Because there were ambassadors from dublin. So we were there to fill up the center. I thought alot of people. Turns out that ZL was saved from the boring convention center, syafiqah too. and since PY was also in SP shirt, she was also involved. Sze too. Just the 5 of us. Wahh, tasked with the important job of "filling up" our enormous nhwc.

In the end, I was cycling, while PY was standing thee, looking goofy. Admiring my heart rate, making sure the noise from the machine didn't affect the tour. Then ZL, Syafiqah and sze were around at the weights area.
WOW, that leaves me with the end of week 13.

Exams are really coming, I have to get cracking. DRATS. STM AND PBL AND CA3 UNCOMPETED.
IN NEED OF MONEY
Thursday, January 14, 2010 @ 6:14 pm
We have created names for ourselves. I heard.
When I have the list, I will upload it. CRS tomorrow, alot of things to do.
Exams are nearing, still in a playful mood.
I want to get started for ideas, AND FINISH UP PBL AND STM.

Princess went to the Vet yesterday, she has been limping for days. At the vet, NOTHING. NO LIMP. She just had a slight fever, and was given painkillers and antibiotics. I think I'm an expert at wearing lenses now.
Using the pair that Liew Yin San got for me. Its going to last me 2 weeks, started on monday.
Therefore, I won't be bespectacled till the 25th of January! I can get the lenses in and out easily, its a feat!
Then I also got the solution FOC, so I'm going to use it happily. I kind of like the lenses, it makes me feel carefree. Like I have perfect eyesight, but if I'm going to buy the monthlies, and not the dailies, I have a feeling it'll make me go broke.

Saw a blogspot today, lots of nice korean clothes. Intend to combine orders and get it shipped in, so for that. I need $$$ too. I want a new watch too, so that also needs $$$. New Shoes too! $$$ in short.
I WANT $$$!
A&P PRESENTATION
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 @ 10:19 pm
HAHAHHA I'M SO HAPPPY. MISS RO ANN IS IMPRESSED WITH OUR CLASS FOR PRESENTATION! I SWEAR "BRIBERY" WORKS OKAY!

FANTASTIC JOB DONE GROUP MEMBERS!
FINALLY DONE WITH A&P!
Monday, January 11, 2010 @ 7:56 pm
wow. my first post after open house. open house was really busy. but i stayed in the center most of the time. repeating my lines to visitors who came and go. its really tough trying to connect with people who aren't even interested in your course. But since they have come to your doorstep, you have nothing much to do, but to give them a tour.

I would summarise open house like this, laughter, cries, frustration, muscle aches and free meal.
Laughter, because we had so much fun playing around in the center.
Frustration, MEAL COUPONS. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
Cries. OH WELL THATS FOR ME TO KNOW.
Muscle Aches: thanks to floor exercise. GAHHH I NEED TO EXERCISE.
Free Meal: THANKS MISS TOH! FOR SUBWAY AND PIZZA HUT DINNER ON FRIDAY NIGHT!

A&P presentation slides: HAHAHA I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. IT WAS SUPER FUNNY AND THE METHOD WORKS. I APPLAUD SEE CHENG FOR HER GUTS. It helped us finalise every single shit about it. EVERYONE WAS MORE COOPERATIVE AFTER TODAY. SO I'M QUITE HAPPY.
Saturday, January 09, 2010 @ 12:19 am
OKay. So Goh Pei Yun has told me that I need to update my blog. it has been what, 2 days in a row since she told me that. Today was done for open house duty again. Everyone's on the verge of falling ill, coming in with stuffy noses and like tired. Mostly because of the running around.

I did TSO from 11 to 6, its 7 whole hours, so I'm super tired now. We went out for dinner, miss toh treated us to dinner at subway/pizza hut. She's from ACJC! Maybe she graudated together with my mother, but my mother doesn't know her leh.

This theresa chia. Wanted to join us for dinner, then she made it sound so serious like, her mother won't allow her. So she asked me to call her mother and ask for "permission" for her to come and eat dinner with us. I used my sweetest voice possible to talk to her mother. Her mother was like who's this, i told her my name. Then i asked, is it possible if theresa joins us for dinner. She was like why, i was like, because our teacher's giving us a treat after a hard day's work. Then she asked where we will be eating, I said, teacher haven't decided yet. Then she was like okay, make sure she comes home. I was like so gentle and SWEET if i must say. Then this theresa chia come and tell me. She made me do this stupid thing so that her mother can hear my voice. I was like WTH. She even told me after that that her mother would allow, so in conclusion. IT WAS A FREAKING PRANK LAH. crazy woman.
Friday, January 08, 2010 @ 11:16 pm
Happy 2010. Well not so happy. Its a new year, more expectations for the new year. Currently slacking, need to get started on a hell lot of things which I don't even feel like doing.
