I haven't blogged for a few days.. I don't know what I've been busy with, just feel like my life is quite empty.. Can't wait to get a job.. Can't wait to learn driving.. So many things on my mind, but when I face the screen all went blank.. I had a nice time chatting with Cherie just now.. Haha. Ah well. After talking to her, I still feel lost about the future as ever. Cannot see what's ahead of me, just like thick fogs, so thick that you cannot even see your own hands in front of you.. I don't know if I wanna continue studying.. I'm really getting quite sick of it. I wonder if people can survive doing temp jobs, or do some freelance thing.. My aunt divorced her husband a few years ago and she raises her son on her own.. She's living quite well, doing quite well, freelancing.. I thought to myself, it's not so bad you know, being a single-parent.. People may talk about you behind your back, but at least life is easier with one less person to account to.. Of course, there'll be more problems to face, having to raise a child and everything.. Somehow, I feel that life may be more carefree, because there'll be no worries about anything related to your spouse.. I personally hate heartbreaks.. Imagine if the couple argues often, the child suffers.. I don't want that.. Who'd want that? Aiyo. I'm talking rubbish again. Must be the night. One tends to get a little cranky at night don't they? Haha. Whatever la. Next time I pen down what I wanna say before I blog about it. God bless the people who're fighting hard to survive the terrible disaster, and may God calm the souls of those who perished.. Take care guys..

I was too tired on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day that I didn't blog.. As for now, too lazy to recollect everything that happened on those 2 days and blog about it.. So, I shall just give a super super brief summary..

Christmas Eve:

All I remember is I had two Christmas dinners to attend.. Haha. One is at my grandma's place, the other is at Wilson's friend's place (name of that guy is Colin). Met Davina on the way to Colin's place.. Haha.. I remember the gingerbread that Colin's mother and sister made.. Haven't eaten it but I think it should taste quite good.. Haha. Now, that reminds me of PS's butter cookies again..

Christmas Day:

Ah ha. I can remember the events of this day better. Went for service in the morning.. Hee. It was really Christmas-y, I felt so high!! Haha. I felt like jumping for joy! Singing those carols really got me into the mood.. Ok, maybe because it's just me, but I'm sure there're many out there who're as excited and happy about Christmas.. Of course, Christmas is more than just the exchanging of gifts and spending time together with loved ones.. We must not forget that the main focus of the day is that Christ was born dunno how many thousand years ago on this day.. And his ultimate gift of eternal life for us by laying down his life on the cross.. Haha am I digressing too much? I just thought I should give a little introduction to what Christmas is about to those who do not really know.. Anyway, my family went for lunch after that, walk around, did nothing much, but that was enough to make me happy. Hee hee. Met Leslie, Wilson, Kane kane, Zuze at Harbourfront in the evening to go to Sentosa to support our juniors (They were caroling at Beaufort Hotel). Met up with Wee and Kal there. The same old Santa Claus was still there dancing away when the choir sang.. Haha. Beautiful night, great for spending a night at Sentosa. But we didn't stay. Left for dinner with the whole bunch (not with the juniors), talked, ate, went home. Tired..

2nd Day of Christmas:

Woke up late, because I was too tired.. Missed service, only manage to go for choir practice.. Thanks Dora for sending me home after that.. Was really tired and wanted to nap, but my parents and brother came home with that LOTR trilogy vcd!!! Damn it, I was so tempted to watch till I forgot about my nap.. So my family spent the afternoon watching it.. Haha. It's nice to spend time with family like that, although it's just watching movie.. At least we all enjoyed it. My dad laughed so hard when my brother jumped at this not-so-scary scene.. Pengz. We had a small durian feast after dinner.. So heavenly!! Haha. I've been craving for durians since A levels.. Imagine poor me must resist the temptation for more than a month.. Yawn. I'm sleepy again. I don't care if my blog makes sense. I'll end here..

Merry 2nd day of Christmas.....

Let's start from the morning part.. My brother is going to Geylang Methodist Secondary School next year, first year there.. Oh well. I don't like the look of the school, nor the principal, nor the teachers, nor the students. You can say my expectations are too high, but I'm not really ok with my brother studying in that school.. One teacher who is the 'emcee' of the orientation can't even speak proper English.. I know I'm not qualified to judge the teacher like that.. But.. Even some fools like me can tell that her English is not biao1 zhun3.. Sigh. There were two kids sitting beside me, letting out a string of vulgarities like nobody's business.. Ok it's nobody's business. Fine. But I very bu shuang. Please lor. I bet I still look refined even when I'm spitting vulgarities. Humph. Stupid kids. How am I to put my mind at ease if my brother is going to be in that school for FOUR years.. So long!! Sigh sigh sigh.

We went to Anglican High to appeal through badminton.. Well, it's so near our house, not much of a problem getting there. There were many students there for appeal, but looks like the vacancies for sports players are almost filled up.. I shall pray tonight about it, hope that many sports students decide to transfer out of AHS or something.. Pray pray.. I saw Ms Chan Chui Leng.. She still cannot remember my name!! Cannot blame her I guess.. She's got so many students.. Haha. At least she still remember it in the end after giving her a hint. Muahaha.

After the appeal, home. Eat, rest, pack some clothes for salvation army, bathe, go Wilson's house. Didn't do much there, just spending the whole time trying plan something for my parents on Christmas Eve. Sigh. I tried in vain. My brain cells are fried. In the end, we forgot about time, forgot that we are supposed to go shop for stuff, forgot that we are suppose to leave early. In the end I was late for my CG dinner!!

I was the last to reach.. Supposed to meet at 645, I got there at 730. Haha. No choice, the Queen always has to be the last to arrive. And no matter how late people still must wait for me. Haha. I was quite hungry by then, because I had only cup noodles for lunch. Thank goodness PuiSze baked butter cookies and brought them! I LOVE BUTTER COOKIES!! Hahaha.. Her cookies are really superb.. Better than Khong Guan's one.. Lol. One that I ate is abit chao tar, but I love the burnt smell! :P Hi-5 to PuiSze! Haha.

We waited for the bus for ages.. Damn it. I hate waiting. That's why I prefer to let people wait for me. Haha. But most of the times I'm punctual, and if I'm late is really cannot help it de. Well, nothing much about the dinner la. I didn't eat much. Not really in the mood for steamboat and bbq anyway. What a waste of money. Haha. After eating a little, me and PS end up at the arcade playing games. Wahahaha. Shooting game, the Bubble game, and dunno what.. Haha. To summarise it, I HAD FUN! WOO HOO! Screamed my throat out lungs out heart out stomach out all internal organs out.. Ok that was just exaggeration to prove my point. Haha. Later, Brother Cliffty came to join us.. Hehe.. It was just so fun!! I've never played arcade so much in my wwhhooooollle life! :D I love that music machine thing, the songs that you play can really make you groove to it!! We played till quite late, took some photos, and left.. Sigh. Ah ma never smiles when he take photos.. FOREVER lidat. Haha. He's so stubborn lor. His theory is, frowning requires more face muscles.. So he frowns more to make his face er.. look stronger. Haha. He sure is eccentric. Lol.

Was super tired when I got home, but I insisted that I should blog about today before I sleep.. Ok technically speaking, it's yesterday already. Wanna say thanks to my mum for making sure that my washed blanket dried on time.. Or I'll have to sleep in the cold tonight.. Thanks mummy!

Wanna specially mention this very special Christmas-card-with-letter that I received when I got home just now.. So far I've received Christmas cards from Daniel and this person, and I guess PS's one should be arriving soon. Anyway, this person is non other than my friendly Camel, Jude Alphonsus Tan Wei Xiong! Haha. [Hey if you're reading this, you should feel honoured ok. A little tribute to you from the Queen leh. Aka Owl. Haha.] Well, he reminded me of a lot of happy memories despite it was only a short 3 months or less in CG 1803.. He's called Camel not for no reason, but because he drinks alot alot and I emphasize again, ALOT OF WATER!! I remember there was once the guys went to the washroom together.. (Weird how this behaviour is akin to girls..) And when they came back from the washroom, somebody was announcing (I can't remember who that moron was.. Haha.) that Camel drinks so much that he pee-d for 2 minutes! Haha. That's rubbish la.. I timed myself before.. At most 10 seconds.. No matter how much he drink, cannot be more than 12 times the time I pee one lor.. Haha. But I thought that was quite a funny joke, to exaggerate the extent of his water parade every day. He brings 1.5 litre bottle to school every day wor..

He reminded me about his bad spelling, how I always corrected him. Haha. So ironic huh. My GP sucks like hell, yet I could help people correct their spellings. Lol. [By the way you spelled "treasure" wrongly.. You missed the 'a'!! =P] He called me a walking dictionary.. Think he got the wrong person.. Haha.. But I'm really flattered that he thinks so highly of me.. Lol.

Camel's one person that I can talk to about almost everything.. We could talk on the phone till (quote him) "wee hours in the morning".. I was more of a night person then.. But anyway, I just wanna say I'm really glad I've found such a great chat-mate, friend, buddy, transportation (since he's a camel..) etc.. Really touched to receive his card and letter.. And here I wanna say a big THANK YOU to him, and wish him all the best for his NS days! Wish every one a Merry Christmas eve for now, and Merry Christmas for tomorrow! Take care everyone, enjoy and savour every moment of this Christmas joy!

(Note: Learnt this from Ah ma.. That by replacing "Christmas" with "Xmas", that's crossing "Christ" out by replacing "X" there.. Haha. Interesting hor? I've never noticed that. So I've made an effort in spelling out Christmas in full. What about you guys? ;D )

I have nothing much to blog about.. What should I say......?




People say, life's full of ups and downs.. Can someone bring me up there again?

I'm back from Malaysia! Sunway Lagoon was not as bad as A'Famosa.. Haha. No cockroaches, no flies, and no mosquitoes! The best place in Malaysia to go to. There is this ice-skating rink at the basement, but my mum didn't let me go and have a go at it!! It was better than I expected in any way.. The shopping centre is so huge!! But I didn't do much, except looking around, bought a top and a skirt, played arcade, end of story. Everyday all I do is eat and sit and sleep. Almost every meal we eat till our stomachs can burst, especially the dinners. Scary! Oh well, I'm quite a good eater now. Haha. The first night's dinner, was the annual dinner. We sat at a table right in the front, and in the end nobody came to join us! Every table allows 10 people to seat at it, and all the food served are for 10 persons share too. Can you imagine we had all the food to ourselves? Haha. Drank a lot of wine too, made me feel like peeing very often. And my mum's boss came over to our table twice to ask me if I have a boyfriend! Haha. I'm supposed to feel honoured huh.

Day 2's dinner was a buffet, goodness gracious! They serve crabs, crayfish, oysters! There were lots more of course. I drank a lot of beer.. Sigh. Pee-ed the most on the 2nd night.. The food was really great though.. Missing all the good food.. Haha. Our hotel rooms are quite nice and clean, and me and my brother's room is connected with our parents' room! Muahaha. Fun. Hm.. I cannot remember much now.. Too sleepy. I crossed the Singapore checkpoint at Tuas at around 4+pm, got home at around 5.. Rushed to get ready for SYC concert, and actually gotta eat dinner with Huijun and Xueli.. We went to California Bistro, and I met so many people there! First I met David Lim (founder of SYC) with his daughter (my church choir conductress) and his wife and his niece (my piano teacher). Haha. Just beside their table is Suat Huang. Haha. What a small world!!

Ok, the concert. I like this concert better, mainly because there were Christmas songs.. Haha. I don't have much to say, because other than listening, I didn't do much except gossiping with Xueli maybe. And I found out that Wei Wei is really called Wei Wei. Haha. Interesting. After concert, went to back stage to look for Ms Tham.. Met Mark (ACS Barker guy) and Zhangyi (AHSchoir and TJChoir senior).. I must say, Ms Tham is still so skinny! Muahaha. After chatting with her for a while, I went to have supper with Wilson.. Ok la not exactly supper, just had a drink and we chatted.. Haha. Still chatting with him! Lol. Wah looks like I should go to sleep soon or else I won't be able to wake up and meet Huijun and Xueli at 10am tomorrow morning.. Lol. Good night!!

Wah.. I almost thought I'll never get to blog.. Was chatting on MSN with my pri school mates.. My goodness!! So many of them!! Haha.. Quite enjoyable la.. I'm in my crappy mood again.. And I'm discussing about dreams with Wilson.. Looks like he always sleeps well.. Haha.. Too sian diao too blog alot. Went job hunting today. Sucks. Yawn. Bored. Nights bloggie.

I met Liesl today! Ok, let me introduce. Liesl is my secondary school friend. We shared the same CCA (choir) and we were in the same class in Sec 3 and Sec 4. We go home together, because we both live in Pasir Ris! Ok, fine, I've shifted. Whatever. Anyway, I haven't talked to her for a long time, and messaged her yesterday and told her that we shall meet up some time soon for a chat. And coincidentally, I met her at Heeren today! Her hair is still super long, and super dyed, some golden brown colour I think! Will look forward to meeting her again!

Now, let me introduce my KAI XIN GUOs! Direct translation: Happy Fruits. Haha. Hm.. They're just people who can really brighten up my day. With little effort. Muahaha. They're aka my jies, aka my best friends, aka of writers of our very own FF books (me included)!! They are (from oldest to youngest): Quek Pei Shin!! Tay Guan Teng aka Ting!! Loh Cherie!! Haha. I don't know what I'm really doing. I'm not drunk really. Serious! Just wanted to say that they're the best friends I've ever met, and I thank God for sending them to me! Even if it's just a few games of Cluedo, Upwords, and Game of Life, I enjoy every single moment we spent together. Haha. They're people whom I'm very proud of, very special to me, regardless of how others may see them as! So here I want to thank all three of you, for all the happy memories you have given me in my life! I'll love you guys always!! Hopefully, the dream of playing mahjong in one of the Raffles Hotel rooms will come true.. Haha. :P May our friendship continue to blossom! :)

Of course, there're other people who qualify to be my Kai Xin Guo too.. Haha. Good night blog!

I'm gonna blog about moi dream.. I dreamt that I got BBC for A levels.. That's supposed to be quite good I guess, because I don't even expect my chem to get a B and bio to get a C. But I was really disappointed with maths in my dreams.. I wanted an A for it.. It was a nightmare, but it felt so real!!! Ok, must really pray that I will get better grades for A levels.. Sigh. Post-A levels syndrome.

Had a terrible day today.. Not really la. I've cramps, damn it, and my neighbours love to blast terrible music!! Argh. Is there something I can do about them? Anyway, I was so bored today I played Monopoly on my own. It's really monopoly, since I'm playing it alone. Haha. Quite dumb. Felt really zibi and bored today. Charles commented maybe that's the reason why I played "bored" games. Ah ha.

I'll be in Malaysia from 17th to 19th December.. Sigh. So boring. I'm going there to attend some annual dinner that the company my mum works for holds every year. I hate it, seriously, other than the dinner part. The food is good, they've got alcohol too. Muahaha. But I don't like it when the aunties (my mum's colleagues) come and do this:
1. "Aiyo!! Your daughter ah!! So big liao! Getting prettier le hor!!" Hopefully they don't pat my head of pinch my cheeks. I'll kick the ass off them.
2. "So what is your daughter doing now? Still studying? What school har? Aiyo! Temasek JC ah! SO SMART!" Oh what bullshit again. I can't stand it when they get so hypocritical. Ugh.
3. "Eat more hor eat more.. No need to go on diet one la.." What concern it is to them whether I can eat or not. Full means full la! I'll make sure I puke on their pretty dresses if they insist that I help myself more to the food. Great idea.
The stuff they organise are so super boring la. Last year I went to Malaysia (A'famosa I think), there was a super big cockroach crawling over me when I was trying to sleep!! Disgusting! Ok, so I gotta pray and cross fingers, hope that there'll be no creepy crawlies or spooky stuff this time.. Sigh. I wonder what kind of lucky draw stuff my mum'll get this time. That's another part of the dinner I might look forward to. Lucky draws. Hope I don't get myself drunk. Almost did the previous time.

Hm.. What else to blog about? Oh, was discussing about TJChoir concert next year.. According to Huijun, Ms Tham said that the concert is on the 13th May next year.. TJChoir seniors who read this blog, please take note.. We are thinking of performing a few songs, alumni seniors who are interested please let me know.. I know this is not a really efficient way of spreading, but I'm trying as hard as I can! Will give more details when more stuff are settled.. Please show some support yeah!

Ok I've blogged quite a lot today.. So how Cherie? Long enough? Haha.. Should stop here.. Already, 1230, coach already turned into pumpkin.. And I've to wake up early to meet my kor kor to register for our basic theory driving test! Skumps I better go to bed by 1am.. Alright that's all folks.. Have a nice weekend!

The Incredibles Jack Jack bucky pillow was sold out!!!! :( Super sad. Haix. My fault, because I spent the whole afternoon playing King's Quest.. Oh well. At least it is completed, big credit to Wilson.. Haha.. Thanks hor.. Also thanks for laughing at me.. Hmph.

Cherie came over to my house for a swim at the pool downstairs.. Well she didn't swim much, because Shin, Ting and me kept chatting by the pool, and she didn't want to miss out on what we were talking about.. So Cherie soaked herself in the pool near us and chatted with us.. Haha.. While Ting and me kept shooing her away, because Cherie's personal agenda is to swim and exercise since she's already here! Haha.. In the end she didn't swim much, but she said she still felt tired. Me too. We were all laughing most of the time I think it'd have made up for not swimming! After her swim, the four of us gathered by the poolside again, and held our "meeting". Well, I was dying to play mahjong, because it is so rare that the four of us are free to get together! As for Ting, she's really determined to master Cluedo.. Haha..

We discussed, with Ting as the minutes-writer, and planned stuff for today, this Sunday, and our Christmas celebration! Things are always fun with the three of them around.. Haha. Anyway, we went to Cherie's house for a game of mahjong and cluedo after our dinners. I think I'm a really bad multi-tasker, because I was watching tv while playing mahjong and sms-ing, and I nearly read out the tile that I took from the 'wall'! I bet I made a lot more blunders, but I don't really remember them now. Cluedo is really fun, mind-boggling, but fun! Well it depends on who you play with la huh.. Haha. It'd be better if my contacts weren't blurred.. Kept mistaking Mr Plum for Mrs Peacock.. Darn. Haha.

Left for home at nearly 11pm, had a lift from Cherie's mum! Thanks to her that we are all home safe and sound.. Till I see my sistas again.. Take care! Ciao

I was at my grandma's house today, and discussed with my aunt regarding my cousin's wedding preparations. Yes, I know I'm not married yet, no experience to talk about. But I guess I've attended enough weddings and watched enough shows and read enough to know a little of what's going on, and give some suggestions..

Thought of a lot of stuff because of all these, but I find it hard to verbalise such thoughts.. Next time maybe..

My kor kor graduate from the Police Academy today.. He's so smart in his uniform!! But his cap stinks. Haha. No marching, because it was raining ants (as in, it's just a small rain..) and there were no chairs for us to sit.. Sigh. The chairs meant for us were in open air, all wet. At least there was some food.. Haha. Not very appetizing though. Boring. We took a few photos and left. No need for more elaboration I guess.

Anyway, I'm signing up for Basic Theory Test with my kor kor! I'm dying to learn driving, so I can drive around and not squeeze with stupid and inconsiderate people on the bus who don't know how to say "excuse me" or be thoughtful enough to move towards the rear end of the bus instead of using their big body mass and clog up in the middle of the bus. Sorry. No offence. This is just personal attack on some detestable people. Main point is, I wanna drive. Do or die.

TJChoir is carolling at Sentosa on the 24th and 25th of December! Woohoo! I must go I must go! Haha.. What fun.. :D

Crie: Jie.. I tried liao lor.. This is the best I could come up with.. Haha.. When I'm nearer to trying on my bridesmaid dress and putting on make up and taking photos maybe I'll elaborate more about them..

Just a short announcement.. My cousin's getting married! And I'm gonna be her bridesmaid.. First time experience, gonna be fun I guess. Haha. Don't mind the dolling up once in a while, as long as I don't look like a monster with the make up and all that. Gotta go exercise more and lose some fats on my thighs tummy arms face everywhere.

End of story.. Yawn. Ta..

If I were ever to roam, box my ears and send me home..

Believe by Josh Groban

Children sleeping
Snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling
Like bells in the distance

We were dreamers
Not so long ago
But one by one we
All had to grow up

When it seems the magic slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas day

Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe

Trains move quickly
To the journey's end
Destinations
Are where we beginning again

Ships go sailing
Far across the sea
Trust in starlight
To get they need to be

When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas day

Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the dreams to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe..

I mentioned this song in my previous previous entry.. Currently my bedtime song. Lullaby actually. Haha. So Christmas-y. You guys should listen to it! :)

Great feat of the day:

Cleared my notes that have all the dust particles settled on them despite it was only a week plus since exams ended.

Why it is a great feat:

Individual is sensitised to dust particles, kept sneezing and rubbing my nose away, but still managed to clear the whole shelve of notes! That's what I call great feat.

Agonising:

Well, I had a great time sneezing away.. Currently look like a cousin of rudolph, nothing in common except the nose actually.

Best part of the day:

Bathing. Blogging. Sleeping!!!

I've finally changed my blogskin, I know it's not really fantastic or anything, but at least it's bigger, not like the previous one. So I've put up the tagboard, you guys can comment, as I've promised! Haha.. So no more complains about my abandoned blog ok.. Alright gotta get ready to go out for dinner.. Ciao!

Poor blog, neglected it for a few days! Ha. At least it was a few days.. Hehe. Ok, shall blog about Monday first..

Went to watch a movie with my brother.. It's THE POLAR EXPRESS!!! Ok, maybe not many are really impressed with the movie, but I am! That's probably because I love Christmas, and the whole show is so.. Christmas-y! Hee. Love the songs a lot too.. You guys should go watch.. A great show to remember for Christmas! Hm.. After that, I went for 'family' dinner.. Actually they're just my classmates, namely Clare, ChitEng, PuiSze, MeiChing, YingXian, Daniel, Cliffton, Vincent (he came late, and drank only milk. that moron) + guest of honour Eugene Chua.. Haha. Ah ma (ChingSiang) was in Malaysia, so it was kinda incomplete family dinner.. Nevertheless, we still miss him! Our dinner was at Eunos, we had zu chao (darn, talking about it made me feel hungry again), and we went to East Coast Park for a walk after that. Really chatted to my heart's content. Haha. I got home quite late, nearly got scolding from my mum again. Muahaha. Only regret is, I didn't get to fetch my grandma from the airport, who just came back from Hong Kong..

Tuesday:

I didn't do much at home! Wasted a lot of time, but went to my grandma's house in the end. She's forever so happy to see me! Hahaha.. :P Glad she's fine, though I really wished I went to HK with her.. THEY HAD DIMSUM!!! Sigh.. Missed out on a lot of good food.....

Wednesday:

Met up with Cliffton, Huijun and Leslie to eat Swedish Meatballs at IKEA.. Haha.. Quite crazy, but the meatballs are delicious!! We talked a lot, laughed alot.. We walked around IKEA, and we met Joneh! He still has quite a lot of pimples.. Haha. Okok, time to cut things short, before my dearest scolds me for sleeping so late again. We went to Bugis after shopping at IKEA to buy Huijun's skirt, and I bought the Polar Express soundtrack! Currently in love with the whole cd, especially the song Believe by Josh Groban. Hee. Okok time to sleep.. My dearest gonna scold me liao!! Good night bloggie!
