Today I went to church with Venus and having not seen her for at least 2 weeks because of the number of H1N1 cases in the church and my AYG the following week, I haven't been going to church. Feels great to be baaack! The both of us could talk non stop and we were crapping throughout the journey and back. Can't wait for Wednesday mornings because fyi since day 1 we've already planned to meet for breakfast on every Wednesday.

Celebrated my birthday with my family after that at East Coast Park. Went to my all time favourite Japanese restaurant Waraku then my relatives come over to our place after we had our lunch. Hmm on the whole it was okay just that I was a littttle tired!



Kk here are some of the pictures my friend sent me. Just got to get hold of them and omg I look so round in these pictures! Reason being, during those 4 days I've been drinking water like how a camel does so I suffered from water retention making my face swollen and round. Promise you I'm never this round k! How saaaad!



I am on standby mode cuz smoochiezz.lj is sending me emails which has information about my gojane.com sandals spree. Omg I am excited!!!

On the other hand after I read something online like just 5 minutes ago, I felt a little disturbed. Am still feeling disturb because..... I have totally no idea how to narrate to you guys here. Kk I kinda confided in my BBB but then again, woahhh I still can't really believe it but okay I can't manipulate people's thoughts can I..... I wished I had the power to do so. Who doesn't? It's okaaay!

Today I spent my day with the loveliest girls ever. No regrets giving Sentosa a miss. Got to sleep in till 1pm. Had a little bit of lunch, did my Business Accounting tutorials and went back to sleep till 4pm. Met the girls at 6, went to Ikea (hehehe finally I settled my cravings for meatball but this time I want more I want more!!) Coincidentally shared a same table with my secondary school teacher. K not my teacher, my brother's FORM teacher so she recognised me as Ken's sister.

Headed back to Tampines when Fiona asked me to check out the movie time slots with her at 10pm so I went ooOoOOoo a midnight movie :D:D. The rest of the girls went to the toilet so we went to the ticketing counter then she said we're not watching anymore cuz someone has a curfew and brought me to the open plaza. When I walked in, I was greeted with a birthday song and a cake. And a handmade book. Seriously they NEVER fail to surprise me and I was choked with tears although I didn't let them out. Thanks girls I am really touched by your very sweet gestures. I see us being united still even if it is 50 years down the road I love you girls.

Headed to the prata shop for a drink after that I reached home not long ago.
















































Today some of us crashed POM lecture in the morning so that we can skip the same lecture in the evening from 4 to 6. Last Apel lesson today means school ends at 1pm on Friday. Yay what a way to welcome the great weekends!

All of us had to do a presentation on whatever topic that comes to our mind and I talked about volleyball. But I was laughing throughout the presentation. I even stuttered and made several long awkward pauses. But eventually all went well and we were happy kids.

Did a bit of CSA project then left school to meet Jasssy and Xinying. Yay haven't seen them for the longest time ever and walao I totally let my steam off. Was literally complaining about issues, ranting and ranting non stop and eventually I felt much better... My closer secondary school friends will only be able to understandddddd ha ha ha. The 3 of us walked to Tampines 1 and found ourselves at Topshop... Kk I got another dress with Ying while Jas got a top yaaaay! Ying went for work while Jas and I headed down the Simei's Eighteen Chef for dinner before meeting Jolene dearest at Starbucks. Was INITIALLY doing online window shopping with Jo and Jas but.....but we got sandals from gojane.com. can't wait for it to arriveeee!!

























Stupid Jo baby smeared starbucks whipped cream onto my face




I think I once told my secondary school teammates espcially fish and yang cuz they been to Sentosa with me for tournaments, that my body has a very, very slow reaction to feelings like, pain. If you pinch me I'll probably stare at the pinched spot for a while and go 'Ouchhhhh why did you do that for!' Same goes for volleyball. The pain will only start to come AFTER my trainings... Speaking of which I haven't touched a proper volleyball in agessss. Thought I'd get to play during the AYG but we the officials have a good image to maintain so we have to be tamed in a way. K like I said my body has a very slow reaction to whatever it is... My skin is finally peeeeeling! Not a great sign but it took my skin a week to peel. How slow is thaaaat.

Projects projects projects. Overwhelming much but tell me if I have a choice. The grass is always greener on the other side. Biz school students want to go to Applied Science School and vice versa. I want to study Physics!!! Web designing is such.a.chore.

For now, I am literally struggling with 24 conversations and 2 projects. Another mass group discussion on CSA (shit it suck ballz) and my personal speech for Comm Skills tomorrow. Darshan the tutor would like me to present more about the game of volleyball so here I am fivb-ing and googling about the history of volleyball. I remembered I once did that before. I think that was 2 years ago when my P.E. teacher Ms Teo wanted the class to submit a mini report of how volleyball came about. Ummm not an alien-ish topic to start off with but dang, the longgg history of volleyball. But whatever it is, I like anything that has to do with volleyball except benchwarming and being a ball picker. Am hopeful to join my St Hilda's Alumni to play for the Open Cup! Can't wait!

Today after Business Accounting lecture, we the girls rushed down to Tampines 1 to change Melly's Havis but to no avail but at least I did settled my craving for Subway. During the whole of the lecture I was thinking of subway melt can you believe it! I am such a glutton. Wished TP could be like SP. I want the food there. I'm getting very sick of TP's food already...




It's barely 11 and my eyelid are heavy already.

Today was an awesome day spent except I was supposed to tell myself to study today. Oh well looks like I didn't succeeded in this. Really gotta start revising because tests are coming soon and this is depressing. Hope I'll be able to push myself out of my comfort zone and studyyy. I have to tell myself: Nothing beats better than studying.

Anywayz comm skills got us all irritated because of the deadlines and also the tutor has not been very kind to us. At times I just hope tutor D will be more decisive cuz he is really getting me annoyed.

Then skipped training to revise the whole of last week's lectures/tutorials but.....
WE went to T1, Melly got her Havis but I didn't get any cuz choices were limited then followed by a shopping spree at Topshop. We bought knickers too!


Sigh I don't know if I should go for the AYG's gathering to Sentosa (again).

Couldn't get enough of my birthday ha ha it's gonna be a week long celebration :D



HI ALL I am finally 17. As the cliché saying goes 'A year older, a year wiser' ha ha not that I'm feeling any wise for NOW but I still feel like I'm 16! It's not like a magical feeling overnight that evolve you into someone older or whatsoever. Evolves reminds me of pokemon lololol.

Today I literally flew to the moon. Couldn't sleep until past 3 in the morning then before school Lian Sheng cabbed over to my place to fetch me and off we went to school. Lecture made me frusrated but I am determined to revise that topic cuz I missed out the fundamentals of that particular topic due the the AYG.

During lunchtime they brought in 2 cakes- one for consumption and the other to smash it into my face. Had a smashing great time with my class and come to think of it we are all left with 9 months before we go on separate ways how saddening :( The cake they got just to smash it into my face was BIG as compared to those classmates whose birthdays we've celebrated earlier. Thank God I got myself prepared cuz someone told me to bring facial wash and an extra set of clothes to school and yes I did brought them. They totally came in handy :) I really had a hard time trying to wash off the chocolate and whipped cream off my face and my fringe.

My classmates even got me a gift haha seriously I was and still am very touched by their gestures having to go through so much trouble hunting down my present and stuff. Dear 1B11 I really like the Guess wallet!!! I will use it tomorrow :)






Clock reads 10.20pm. It's already the 6th of July. Never-ending train of thoughts.
Ummm I don't wanna grow up so fast! :(

Today school was just as usual then we did a bit of our project. Took pictures. And more pictures and more pictures and more.... Crapped with classmates. Then it made me change my thinking about turining seventeen. Yay okay it is not that bad lah it just sounds olddddd.

Have been throwing birthday parties since young cuz most of my birthdays fall on a weekend or youth day. My birthday always clash with youth day so I get an extra day off and on top of that I have parties!! Chalet by spaz, outings with classmates, birthday themed parties, stuffed toys roses la senza leopard printed bra and g-string actually I can't really remember what I received last year but last year but it was a helluva time spent. One of those best moments in my life. A great milestone. Sweet sixteen.


Best birthday surprise...





Hilarious stuff.

Supposingly to wake up at 7am this morning so that I would reach Harbourfront on time at 9am to meet my friends for breakfast and head down to Sentosa to watch the semi finals and the finals. But I kept snoozing and eventually I switched off the alarm. At 8am when the clock at the living room played a tune, I jumped out of bed and panicked cos I wanted to leave the house at 7.45 so I thought I was doomd but to my surprise I reached Harbourfront at 9.08am when I left my place at 8.25.

Semi finals. Indonesia guys won Yeman guys and China girls won Indonesian girls. Koufu for lunch at Palawan then went back to Siloso to catch the finals. Omgz did I tell you Kazakhstan guys are darn tall. I am only a few inches taller than their belly button how embarrassing. Did line judging for them the other time round and I felt so short so small. This time I mingled with the audience and watched how they played. Thailand still own them lor Thailiand my fav cos I have a number of Thailand vb friends so definitely I will support them. Thai girls own Kazakhstan girls too!
So I only got to help out at around 4pm! That is to take out the nets and the poles and whatever that is in the court. Did 2 hours of work and I got 50 bucks ha ha yay. I got my paycheque too I am a happy girl. This week I am a few hundred dollars richer cuz I didn't go to school for the whole of last week. I was a freeloader at Siloso eating drinking and sleeping until it was my turn to do duty. And I earn $. I received my weekly allowance not long ago. I received red packets from my grandma for my birthday. Yayeeee.

I am also very very very very very excited to do the Youth Oylmpic Games line judging next year. Minimum age wil be 18 so I will be 18 by then already hehehe it's be from the 21st Aug 2010 to 26th Aug 2010. On one condition, and that is I will have to take up the referee course. They said that they will widen our vb network so instead of having vb friends from sg I will have friends all around the world yay! Referee overseas exchange programmes and outings. Can't wait!

This morning when I was at the back gate of my place I bumped into my neighbour. Haven't met him in ages so I talked to him for a while and I kinda pitied him cuz his parents made him go to a JC and he didn't so well in the end and so after he ORD-ed he went to Temasek Poly taking the same course as me. He totally had a choice if he wanted to go to a JC or poly even if it means to defy his parents cos it's his own future afterall isn't it. He might as well go to a poly and save 2 years of his life away. Thank God for that, that I didn't force my way throught MJ. Because only now I know where I stand and I luv my class. I love where I am studying and doing things at my own pace even sometimes it is so stressful...

Will upload more pics of the other teams the next post!!




Todaaaaaay.
Gave Ice Age a miss with the Spaz cuz I helped mom around the house then both of us went out to do some shopping after that. Ummm I bought a lot of snacks. I feel so guilty.

K I am very tired already but hello it is barely midnight! Just another half and hour to midnight. Guessed the sleeping bug hit me earlier this time.

Am supposed to head down to Sentosa tomorrow at 4pm to help out with the last bit of beach volleyball then witness the victory ceremony and collect my pay at 8pm. Wth of all time 8pm. I was supposed to collect my pay at 11am but they said they are having some difficulties so 8pm then! This will mean that I'll have to postpone my pre birthday celebration with my family next week which will be already belated -.-

But fatty says he wants to watch the 10am match so I've to be at harbourfront at 9am which means I'll have to leave house at 8am and which also means I will have to wake up at 7am. By the time I reach home from Sentosa it'd be easily past 11 or midnight. I still have to rush through my BA tutorials BUT I DIDN'T ATTEND THE LECTURE LAST WEEK CUZ OF AYG AYG AYG.
:'(

One of those pics taken during our monthy gathering!



Am back in school!! Ha ha k I was thinking really hard if I should go to Sentosa to watch the guys match and be on standby mode but then again.... I think I'll be going there to stone anyway cuz my friend will be on duty so I will be aloneee. But who cares about being alone actually I don't mind but I don't really like. So I decided to go back to school and my classmates were shocked. Klassic man their face.

Feels great to be back in school. My LOA is officially approved by my Care Person and Course Manager so yay I don't have to worry bout that anymoreeee. This week is pretty short maybe cuz I was enjoying the whole of this week lol. Kk my classmates welcome me with their laptops! Phototaking!! HAHA there you go!

AYG beach volleyball is really an eye opener for me. I luv the sun. Talking bout that my classmates thought I dyed my hair again cuz the hair colour really looks diffent but I didn't think so! Hairstylist Marcus specially chose this colour to suit my then-very-tanned-skin in February cuz I was much tanner than I am now!

Lookin' dead

























I am very very very vert tanned times ten to the power of ten. What disgust me most is that my the shoulder to the elbow part of my arm is fair and the bottom half is tanned. Then for my legs I have 3 different skin colours. The fairest skin part is beneath those vb tights when I play beach vb in Sentosa. Next is the tanline slightly below my hips. That is the second skin colour because that part goes under then sun when I play vb. Lastly the third skin colour is when I wear my fbt straight cut. Cuz we're officials we have to wear long shorts. Wthhhhh.

Today I did 3 matches of which 2 are girls and the other match, the guys. China guys whacked the ball really hard. The next thing I knew was that the ball flying towards my direction. Right into my face. Then in my direction I saw the ball coming in full force but I visualized the ball coming in slow motion. I dodged. Sounds like some matrix action movie whereby the bullet comes flying right into your face then you avoid it. Anyway I was, and still am smitten by those cute guys out there hahaha. Kyrgyzstan guys are hottttt! They have blonde hair and blue eyes omg just like one of those caucasian but they're asian. Taiwan guys are cuteeeeee and they can play darn well hahaha. Omg what's with me what's with me.
Just yesterday I was thinking of who I should support and I asked my friend beside me. I was talking a tad too loud so I went like 'omg that China guy got 6 pack so I shall support China!' The court manager turned around and laughed out loud. Was so embarrassed.

We have got a major communication breakdown. Thai referee, Sporean line judges, Saudi Arabian and India. Total communication breakdown... That made us frusrated. Talking about the Thai referee, he was really nice. He saw me sulking in the midst of the match and told me to smile using hand signs. Then at the end of the day that Thai referee wanted to meet me and so I went into the tournament room office and I got a piggybank from him hahaha cute right! The Indonesian referee kept giving me bottles of water to drink. China referee joked with me. I felt so happy hahaha.

The policemen and women there are very useless. They are supposed to check our identity passes given to us and stuff but all I know is that the policemen came over to watch the girls match. Maybe it is a bit of an eye candy to them knowing that the girls wear just a sports bra and a bikini bottom. Some of them sat down and listen to their mp3 and stuff. Another policeman dragged a chair somewear near the court, blasted music with his phone and drooled at the girls. It's not like they are supporting Singapore or whatsoever...What is this manz. These few days I've been sleeping slightly before 12. What a miracleeeee.

Mongolian girls and I. They are younger than me okay! I feel so small :(
Just so you know these girls are considered small sized in the tournament. Check out the China girls they are at least 1.85m tall. When I stand beside the Kyrgyzstan guys I am just 3 to 4 inches above their belly button. How depressing :'(
