Sometimes I wish I knew who reads my blog. I've been questioning myself some 2 years back is it actually better for strangers to read em or people whom I am closer too. But apparently there was this once I was this close to locking/shutting down my blog because my parents were stalking me. Not that there were any trust issues going on but they wanted to know what is going on in my life and be a part of me. I think, that was then I was in Secondary 3, or 4. And I decided to move on to livejournal just so that they will think I have already stopped blogging. Actually.... I did shut down my blog once when I was in Secondary 3 because of some absurd reasons which I found it hard to believe but got over it eventually!

Ha ha k it's just a random thought that hit me when I got to know that there is an increasing number of blog readers when I saw the statistics.

Anyway! Sunday was church and I felt more refreshed! Attended a malay wedding after church because Dad told us to grace his staff's wedding, which was such an eye opener to me. Feels like imma frog in the well! Aunt's place to play with her pet dog for hourssss~~~

Sigh I'm actually quite tired despite sleeping for 13 hours... Gonna turn in now so goodnight kids!

I don't know where to start from, but it was definitely an eventful week!

Apart from the class chalet, I met up with my god grandparents on Monday and Venus & her sister Amanda on Thursday and Friday. Thursday to be honest was quite boring so we made impromptu plans to go out to the pet stores. And Friday? Swimming date with Amelia my Public Speaking classmate. Epic fail lor seriously! Swam 2 laps, talked a whole lot of stuff and it had to have a downpour. And a day out to the pet farm but we brought Sunny out this time too!

Really a little annoyed with the sales person over there.

"So you're 13 this year?"

"No, 18!"

"Let me check if your friend's dog has any rashes"

-goes on checking for a while-

"We're here to buy food actually. He's allergic to poultry like chicken and cheese...."

"I feel like I'm talking to a chipmunk. Are you sure you are 17 this year?"

"NO, 18!"

And I stomped off. Probably the weather made my mood so much worse because it was warm and humid. Not only was the sun glaring at us, but the pavements emitted out so much heat after much conduction from the sun.

Today we celebrated Dad's birthday in advance and we had Thai cuisine. Treat's on Mom and I totally have no idea what to get for Dad this year! :(

Class chalet

Birthday boy!

Jo's camera is so cool!

Jolene

Bris

Lunch at Pizza Hut after a short swim!

Check out that hot pair of legs at the background! They're Amanda's hehe!

Sunny's so cute here with Venus!

Back from my class chalet at Changi! Hmm I still don't really get the logic why people say it's haunted. I think it's just mentality? It's just a neglected old hospital building which many people died there what....! Nothing happens to my clique and I when we stay there for 5 nights. We still eat sleep shit play! Perhaps what I hate most about the place is that it's old. The painted walls are cracked, toilet tiles were shades of dirty green like public toliets and half gone. Eew right, and the fact that it's too empty.

Maybe that's why I love bathing at home a lil too much. Squeaky rubber ducks and warm soapy bubble baths is just so........awesome! Or even a nice jet shower which massages my back while I'm taking my shower. Nothing beats the comfort of your own home! Beats the chalet hands down!

Today, I:

-Delivered breakfast to Venus and Amanda

-Watched one of the many movies she got with her

-Went to the 2 pet shops at Tampines central

-Simei for pet Safari

Did you guys hear about the news, that whoever's going to Thailand has to register with the Singapore government first? Let's just hope everything will settle down before the 20th simply because I don't want to cancel this trip. You know the feeling of getting excited over something and it's cancelled/gone all of a sudden? Or simply saying in other words, getting happy for nothing? When everything has been paid for already, and I have already planned what to watch when I'm on board the plane?

Fingers kept crossed! XX

Tryna kill time when I'm transferring my movies from the laptop to the newly installed external hard disk my brother got for me a couple of hours ago! So means more space for MORE movies, pictures, documents, etc.!

While I'm still in Sg I shall go catch up on my Gossip Girl season 3 xoxo sugar dreams everyone!

Pictures will be up soon!

Home really hasn't been home to me for the past week or so. Not that anything bad has happened, but more like I'm hardly at home. They say home is a place for rest and indirectly speaking, I can say that I don't have much rest. That's what the holidays are for right? To play and to rest but the latter definitely comes first. Already very worn out when it's barely the start of the school holidays!

Out of town for the first week of holiday so there goes the first week of my holiday. Just look at how time flies when you're enjoying yourself right! To be exact I'm left with a couple of weeks to enjoy. Six weeks, to be precise. Pretty darn sure it'd be over in no time.

Had a really fine Cantonese lunch this afternoon with god grandpop and god grandma. Together with my dad of course and it costed quite a bomb, really. Luckily I wasn't the one paying or else half of my month's allowance would be wiped out!

So I'll be away for the next three days or so cuz of my class chalet! Don't really know what to expect but I'm sure it'd be hella fun. Can't wait to enjoy the company of my homies and two nights of barbecue!

These days I'm pretty disturbed with all that scandalous dramas. I'm not surprised if Tiger Woods or even Bill Clinton got into an extramarital affair because afterall, generally speaking, they're from the west. Really, not at all surprising, unlike Asians who tend to be more conservative with thoughts and actions. Didn't really expect someone with such a high profile in our little red dot to commit something like that knowing that our country is darn small and chances of bumping into each other is so high.

Umm, what do you say? I feel sad for my friend.

Before I can blog about everything else, there is something I got to say cuz I can no longer contain my supercalifragilisticexpialidociously excitement in me and that is, I GOT TO SEE PARAMORE! Cuz my brother took the same plane as them coincidentally! So freaking cooooool yeehaw!

So he's back from Australia and I've got my Australia's edition of havaianas and imma happy kid!

My parents went for a movie date like what young couples would do so I had to stay at home. To sleep of course. Dinner at Thai Express with the girls and went to the airport to send Deanna off to Spain....

I got kinda speechless when a cute little (suspected ADHD) boy touched me, pointed to my laptop and said in chinese, "I want to play with Aunty's toy!!"

Outrageous you think??!

Rushed down to another Terminal to pick my brother up and so, lucky me! That I got to see Paramore!!

Anyhow anywaaay, I know I owe a lot of overdued photos to many and I'll try to upload em soon I promise!

Fishy spa

4th day of CNY at Daryl's

Study date with K

Here are just a fraction of what I took in HK!

I like puffy clouds cuz they look like cotton candies

Familiar faces, you say?

One of their famous dishes

Found the same old dessert shop!!

This is what you call the ding-ding! They're not buses but more like trams..

Traditional red ding-dings are the prettiest, not the commercialized ones definitely!

Who can get me this glittered Merz? I'd probably love you foreverrrrrr!

Mummy looks a lil :S here but she got to take picture with Chow Yun Fatt's handprints at the Avenue of Stars!

Whereas I had a picture taken with Audy Lau's.

Back to the HK airport! :'(

I'm back!! Hong Kong for the second time, this time with Mummy, was awesome! The last time I went there with my family we couldn't shop much cuz Dad and Ken were complaining they wasted hours waiting for us so we didn't dare enter most of the shops and explore. Hating the weather here right now! The weather there is so much better like probably 20-25 degrees celsius. Shopping was awesome, Zara was mad cheap and so for the record breaker, we went into every outlet they had in Hong Kong!

I had my fun but they pain was such a torture. My back and even my knee injury which I dislocated it 4 years ago....all that pain resurfaced and walking was quite a chore. Got to practice a lil bit of my Cantonese which I have yet to master, took every mean of transport like the trains, railways, small public buses, normal buses, air buses, ding-dings. Pardon me for all that jargons, the pictures will do the talking BUT I have to settle down first! It's been less than 24 hours since I got home and I've got so many stuff to unpack.

Can't wait for Ken's arrival tomorrow! Arrival means I've got new havaianas from Australia and that is awesome!

What's up!!! And yes I'm back. Everything falls back in place now. My laptop is well now and the examinations are over!

Perhaps the only thing that is haunting me is my month and three weeks cough. But I really do appreciate it how my friends and classmates are taking care of me and my well being, like my classmates would boil herbal tea for that consecutive few days and getting me medicine from one of those pharmacies. Year 1's over and done with, taking a break and not studying for a month and a half seems too good to be true.

This month was quite happening with all sorts of activities like Grace's 18th, Raymond's wedding, biggest speech I gave in my entire life, spending the last week of school with the classmates, coming out of Sentosa with a super unusual sunburn (everyone thought it was a tattoo!!), CNY, countless study sessions and such.

Promised to update my livejournal on a daily basis with my touch but ended up abandoning it cuz of the lack of time.

Went crazily mad after the last paper. Flew to town and my younger brother treated me to lunch cuz he started working! And guess who got her new shoes!! Loving my pretty blue Vans! Dinner @ Simpang with the usuals then ice cream chefs. Yesterday was the first official day of the holidays by sending my brother off to Australia, packing my wardrobe, primary school with the primary school teammates for training, dinner and Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief with best friend Venus and her sister Amanda.

My brother left for Australia yesterday and I'm flying off to Hong Kong in a couple of hours' time! So, see you when I see you?

Hopefully there's strong wifi connection if not I won't be able to tweet! I'll be back in 5-6 days, rest for 2 weeks but meanwhile, class chalet, before I leave for Bangkok! Woohoo holidays HERE I COME!

....... And I didn't know I lost ~900 hits a week by not blogging so 4 weeks means..... :O

I have not been to this space for a while ever since my laptop crashed more than a week ago. And I have no idea what is actually happening. Now using a laggy old desktop as ancient as greek, I decide to make this very clear. Now that I don't even get to see my own blog, let alone my tagboard, and for the sake of my concerned friends who actually ask me if I am alright (which I really have no idea what's happening), I have decided to remove my tagboard for the time being till the day I get back my laptop which will be in 3 weeks' time. 3 weeks time, I'll be back @ blogger.com! Not gonna depend on other laptop/desktop to blog simply cuz I don't wanna be too dependent especially the next few weeks are gonna be heavy duty weeks preparing for the main examinations!

It is obvious that people still don't actually get my point that this involves 3 people right from the start.
Well if you don't get it, I feel you. I really do.

Now all that has been said, has been said. Meanwhile I'll be using my iTouch to update my livejournal. Yes on a daily basis. Still very much unfamiliar with the new application I just downloaded from iTunes so I'm gonna have to play around with it for the next 3 weeks or so! So catch me at my livejournal! And those of you who knows my livejournal, lucky ducky, you!

So....Till then! ;)
3 weeks' time.
3 is jinxed.

So I guess there is something stirring at my tagboard.

I really, have no intentions of badmouthing TPVB. As a spectator I stand on neutral ground and I did not curse/swear for the team to lose. I mean, if you win, congrats and if you lose, I'm not saying anything. Same goes to the other teams as well. I really heard about the postpone of the match and if I got it wrong, my bad.

But trust me, I'm not feeling sour because I'm not in it or neither am I doing so because I dislike the team. I am totally, perfectly fine with the team in any case. I am on neutral ground, I really am. I quit, not because of the people, BUT because of the past. What has so and so done to me. I know tertiary's vb team will definitely be of higher standard. But why, in the first place, was I even asked to apply and only to reject just because I only play a certain position? Then why not I just go and play in A div, which would PROBABLY be less challenging than tertiary's? Even if I were to go back there now, can the so and so rewind back to Jan 2009 and let me study in a JC?

I hope this little explanation would give you some idea why I quit. And I would like to focus on my studies too.

I really hope the team will understand that I do not have any intentions of badmouthing the team. And I know this is a public domain and I should watch my words. And in any case, to keep it to myself, right?

In any case if I did say anything unbiased or bad towards the team, I apologize.

K I think I don't really have a say about the whole IVP thing but the organiser sucks. LIKE REALLY! Postpone match cos players cannot make it still nevermind but they don't even bother informing the other teams that the match is actually postponed until at the very last minute. Today's 3rd/4th placing was at 8.15 but it got pushed forward till 6.45 and the worse part is the players are not even here yet!

Everybody sigh...

Anyway people could tell that today my mood was picking up for the better. No harm feeling chirpier to make my day better, right! But it all died down after a while because I'm still sick and my energy is easily drained so yup I didn't get to watch the match today.
I'm feeling like this right now. I feel like I can spit out shots of non-stop fiery comments to the organisers right now.

Haha before I go for my afternoon nap I really wanna say I ended school today on a good note. Reason being I bumped into my first secondary school friend I made in secondary 1 (love you Aisyah!), walked to 293's bus stop with Fiona updating her about my stuff (the girls gotta know this!), talked to coach, bumped into neighbour in the bus and had a nice chat. I learnt that Integrated Programme isn't really attractive after all.

I'm slightly relieved to know that OB project is finally over. Filming and presentation was a success!

Now I need a nap. Totally need one or else I can't revise in the evening. I feel sick again :(

Today, well technically yesterdaaay..... everything was awesome until I sat for my accounting paper from 7 to 8 in the evening. Everyone else was complaining how blardy tough the paper was but nevertheless! All's over and done! (So much for revision, really)

Today I went to meet my new friend and I made another new friend who already knows my friends. The world very small lor and then when I told my friend how much I'm looking forward to learn how to drive, the person's jaw dropped and he went 'You're not even 18?!'

I think 18 is old :( The thrill of turining 18 is only being able to do thing legally but apart from that, there isn't anything to look forward to :(

I saw too many familiar faces. Too many. But I spotted the referee chairman who was there to referee and I think I got a higher chance of doing scoring for the YOG!! Omg can't wait! :D Can't wait to see my gay thai boy Anawat play! That is if he's still 18 and under hahaha.

I should have know what I was saying.

Now my brother is flying to Australia ALONE for a holiday and to visit my cousins and aunt. My mom kept asking 'Your spore cousins are not going to Australia, so do you still wanna go?' I kept saying no I'm not going anymore. Little did I know that it's my cousin's little autumn break in the beginning of March and they promised to bring my brother out to have some fun. Wtheck??! I wanna go too. I wish I can book an air ticket and fry to Australia in March.

Hong Kong? Maybe I'm going with Mom this March too.... Omg but Australia.... Cheap Havaianas and beach wear...

Out of the 24 hours today, I reckon I am gonna in bed for 21 hours, since it's not the end of the day yet! I feel so sick right now. I really thought my fever subsided before I slept last night but the next thing I got up I took my temperature, it shot up to 39.3 degrees. Then it kept increasing till nearly 40 degrees. You know that sucks! I haven't been eating well for the past few days cuz I felt like throwing up so I depended mostly on gruel. Today was no exception, but I forced myself to eat cuz I really needed to!

Mom and Dad refused to let me get out of my bed except when I went to take a shower. They fed me, sponged me, looked after me. When they left, Venus came over to do our Public Speaking quiz, which wasn't efficient at all cuz my head hurts so much I couldn't concentrate. So Venus had to leave without a choice cuz I felt so horrible :(

I'm the coordinator for my batch for the SHSS alumni get together for the past week and today, I can't make it. That sucks too :'( Being the one taking up so much effort trying to get responses from each and everyone of them, I didn't turn up in the end.

Well, Thank God I didn't have to be admitted to the hospital cuz I am so afraid of jabs. The thought of the needle having to pierce through my flesh really make my eyes water. Should I be going to the hospital/clinic AGAIN tomorrow, and if I were to get a jab, I'll ask them to knock me out with anesthetic first before doing anything that hurts me!

Sick omg I'm damn sick!! 38.4 degrees, more coughing, sore throat worsens, sneezing, aches, and feeling so ever faint. Thank God the doctor didn't give me any jabs and the tablets are small. Groupmates came over to do filming and after the first scene was taken with several rehearsals and NGs, we were over and done with just the first scene. Couldn't last any longer so I had to go back in the midst of shooting the second scene. So sorry groupmates!!

And seriously, I was quite certain I was about to give you up. Why did you have you appear again.

When the sick meets the sick, we get more sick (not in the mind!)! Yup that's Jasmin and I, but we couldn't really care less about her flu bug and my nauseous, coughing and sore throat state. Right after school today I was fantasizing about having Subway for lunch though I felt like throwing up but everyone wanted lunch in school so I went home to sleep for about an hour? Jas called me when I was sleeping and she wanted Subway too! Flew right over there to eat!

It was like a super impromptu decision to meet up, and watching Sherlock Holmes at GV was an even more impromptu one because we had nowhere else to walk. Apart from that we went around buying mini stuff like earrings, nail polishes.... Omg I can't feel any happier! Thank you Jas for the awesome evening and let's all meet up soon with Jol and co!

I feel slightly relieved right now cuz two of my projects are completed and tomorrow's the project submission. Stats tutorial done. Three more projects, a month and a half more to the end of Year 1! Holaaa~

Happy day! Yes today is a happy day worth living for! Could have been better if I had more sleep and stop wanting to puke all the time...! Today's somewhat like a mini reunion for me and my friends but we're in small groups. Public Speaking. Awesome! specially when I have one psychotic loving classmate whose name is Amelia....!! Hehehehe

And on top of that, if you were wondering what the hell was that reunion all about, I kept bumping into old friends today. ALL MY VB KAKIS even my primary school juniors, teammates and the ones at the beach. Bumping into the first two groups of people were unplanned except for the third! Tutorial had to be a time for project consultation so we were all dismissed after half an hour! Found my friend and talked about everything under the sun. Made us all so excited! Can't wait for the 7th!

GUESS WHAT.

I'm starting to love Business Statistics. Even if it bores me. Even if the lecturer pissed everyone by saying "This is a free world~~~you can get out if you wanna." No shit I'm not lying, I mean it!! I learn to appreciate that module even more when my friend told me his core subject in uni is stats, and he had to memorize every single formula. You wouldn't wanna touch stats anymore if you had to just memorize all the formulae you could find in the book!

I'm relieved. Relieved that my brother did considerably well for his O levels. Though he did not study much (I sunpa he was dota-ing 24/7 and late nights out till wee hours in the morning), he beat me hands down. Hands. Down. Think he could have done better if he studied! But nevertheless I'm quite proud of him!

School....is such a bore, really. Apart from that I was anxiously waiting and waiting while doing my Public Speaking project with Amelia (we must take pictures!!) after school at 6 then I went off disappointed at 8 BUT Deanna made my evening better by accompanying me to watch a match but the sports hall was too packed, especially the guy's court. And I don't wanna see people I don't wish to see. So then! Macs for dinner. I've been wanting to throw up for the whole of today but thank God I managed to eat some food for dinner.

I feel so exhausted now and I wanna watch tomorrow's match too...

To those who will be collecting their GCE O level results in about 11 hours' time... This post was written last year while waiting to go to school for my results! I wish everyone all the best, especially to Ken and my cousin Ghee!

"It's 10 minutes past 11 in the morning and every second counts. Anxious hearts minds and souls start texting each other for the best. Yeah it is a big thing. It's like once you get your results it'd be the end of carefree days so we go around hunting for schools and making enquries as a new chapter of our lives unfolds for the better unlike going out or shaking our legs at home thinking what's next. In other words this is a big thing because it paves our future where some of us reach our goals, change our path or even a nasty U turn. As grave as it seems to be..we have to accept the fact that in less than an hour we'll be out there having our lunch with friends, time flies and it'd be 2pm. Nobody's really looking forward to this it's like we have to mug all over again and it's taxing. Fast paced stressful lives meeting deadlines for projects and good grades for tests.

Is no easy feat.

After I took some time to reflect when I woke up, I realize that I don't have a reason to worry because the results are fixed. Like you'll get better grades if you worry any further. God has plans for me already and my life is worthless without God so He'll take the wheel and lead me to the righteous right path or whatever He thinks it's best for me.

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'ma let it go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

So to all O level students, I am just as anxious as you are. I wish you all the bestest best and may you enjoy sweet success like never before."

This weekend was well spent sleeping my assssss off. Though it may sound way too unproductive, sleeping makes me way livelier and haaaappy. A happy Grace = less bitching and less bitchy stares. I really don't understand why everyone says I look like one ultimate b!tch when I stone....

Whatever happened to all my weekend study plans! I'm feeling so so guilty now because I've been wanting to read up on my accounting theory. Sucks balls seriously, accounting should NOT and should never ever be tested on theory because the whole chunk of formats are already killing me though I have an accounting background back in secondary school.

Today was church, G2000 for formal wear (sucks I tell you, they don't have my size so I had to settle for a bigger skirt), catnap and puppy hunting! I really hope Dad brings us to the pet farm for a reason...because looking at puppies could just kill me because I feel so helpless. Can't bring my Westie home :'( I asked Dad to get the pup first and I promised him I'll give him every single cent I get from the red packets during next month's CNY but.....

Omgz today I got up at 7.30 and wanted to leave home for the 9am lecture at 8.30 but I was so tired I decided to sleep. Tutorial started at 11 and to my horror, I woke up at 11! Darn crazy I tell you! Thank God I live near school and I managed to reach at 11.15!

Got back Stats results and I'm not satisfied at all because of all the uncalled for careless mistakes! Mistakes like....pressing the figures wrongly on the calculator (-.-), forgetting to write units, wrote 4 decimal place instead of 3 and omg the list could just go on.

Was supposed to study with Jas today but it was cancelled in the end so Kerensa and I headed to Ehub's fish & co express, bumped into people I always see @ the beach, popped by K's new house and met her parents... Love her new home! Did I mention I'm still very much in love with Prissy's cosy home too? Love the bar at the corner of the living room!

Today..... I happened to wear the same outfit as Mel!! Such a coincidence hor!! Almost wanted to wear my black skirt too but I was late and settled for this one. We didn't plan this okay!

And some pictures from last night's BBQ!!
