I'm dreading 2008.
Before it even comes, I already hate my life in 2008. I can so envision myself slogging my guts out infront of my desk solving irritating integration, probability questions. Somehow, I picture 2008 with no fun at all. Boo.
Spent the entire day of today at home and it feels grrreeeaaattt! Whoohoo. I woke up at 10am, sat in front of the tv till 11 plus. Then spent 10minutes vacuuming the floor. Haha so it was a slipshod. Then bathed and went northpoint for lunch with my sis. My sister is finally well again! Hooray (:
After that went popular to spent my sister's 20% discount voucher. I went crazy taking all the ring files for next year lecture notes, bought drawing blocks for my very artistic little sister and foolscape paper. Got pen ink refills for my dad and other small lil stuff.
Yay my lil sister is going primary1 next year! So I got her a lil notebook to note down her homework. Heh. I want her to be a nerd.
Lugged all the stuff back home and I look like some cheapskate auntie just back from a sale. Then mopped the floor and fell asleep. I cannot mop floor. I create puddle of water instead.
Did maths. Have uet to complete the tutorial. Sian. ):
Anyway 2007 has been very fast. For me, it's like before I even know school for that day has started, the day has already ended.
I will never forget the orientation I went through at the beginning of this year. It was what made me decide VJC is going to be the school for me. I actually feel like I belong to the school.
First three months was rocking with mas, letch and eileen. Every morning, we just sat in the canteen and gossiped around. Med Soc meetings were actually fun with them. Then asshole letch left for RJ and it was only me mas and eileen.
I am so super glad I got into sucha nice and friendly class. They were such nice people I feel mean sometimes. Ahaha. Was especially happy to have renying as my classmate again, and later, my PW mate. Oh and minghwei gonna remain my best buddy in class!
I am used to having so many events in one day and I just have to choose one and miss the rest. But sometimes, when you so badly want to go for all, it sucks. Pw was tiring but fun at the same time. My team mates were great people and I'm so thankful for that.
I'm glad that after almost a year, I'm still meeting up with my secondary school friends. Hung out quite a number of times with my very treasured 4/5 people, listening to jiong guang
insisting that he is nice, chatting to the much thinner tri and jian kai online etc.
And natalie! Was happy swimming with you. Haha, i'm so happy we are still close to each other. We like know each other for close to 10years already man!
And I did so much more CIP this year. Much thanks to eileen. Joined NUH friends and then went on various CIP events in NUH. I hope I can go heaven when I die. And eileen, you are still my best kbox-ing partner. (:
Japan trip was awesome. Got to know a lot of other victorians. Grew much closer to andersonians like shuling and suyi. I wont ever forget my time in jap. Ah, how I wish there is a yearly SILS fall program and we get to go every year.
And of course, I'm awfully glad that my relationship with zanyu is still fine, if not much closer. Many unhappy things happened, some tears shed but I think it kinda brought us closer. We have learnt to give and take and I hate the fact that we get to see each other on weekdays again next year. Boo. but
I love you. <3
Lets skip the academic parts. But I got good progress award! Yay.
So to sum everything up, 2007 is very interesting. I feel as though there is no dull moment. I kinda don want 2008 to come. ):
Sunday, December 30, 2007
I'm so tired now i can fall asleep anytime. ): But I shall still blog.
Went out to meet jodyang cus she wanted to take advantage of my 20% popular discount to buy her 1year supply of stationery because she's not a member and yet she wants to spend less. Quite smart eh.
I didnt buy all of the things I wanted like foolscap paper and files since I'm going bugis after that. Got pen refills, lead refills blah blah. Then met up with zanyu and we went bugis.
He wanted to get bag in bugis street so we squeezed with the crowd. It was horrible la. It was hot and squeezy and lacking in oxygen. Urgh. I prefer bugis street at night. But I am glad that zanyu managed to get a bag which he likes. He got a shirt too, in Spade.
Then we went up and walked around and I got a top for $10! haha. Then went bugis juntion to walk a bit more before buying food and heading for home.
Damn, I need to get my new year clothes fast!
And i realised i havent done my Area under graph tutorial. Sian! I totally forgot about it.
I'm off to sleep. (:
Saturday, December 29, 2007
I was out the entire of today so I'm rather tired now. :/
Went to the NUH, like finally cos I skipped that for 3 consecutive weeks. And I realise I still feel very happy after NUH. I like playing with kids, aimlessly colouring spongebob square pants or talking to the kids.
After that, went j8 to meet up with my 2crazy friends! Massie and Letch! Went to eat KFC and I spilt my entire cup of coke! I'm so clumsy pui. So sorry zanyu! I hope your crumpler is alright :/
Then we went to get eileen's present for this year haha before going rafflescity to get my planner as my birthday present. Its a 2008 diary planner thing which I adored so much. But it was too expensive for me to buy so my two crazy but very nice friends got it for me. yay! thanks so much! I gave them a hug each. (:
Walked around and decided to get a new pencilcase since my old pencilcase has been washed so many times it became white instead of pink. Got a really whacky pencilcase which can be used as a clutch bag. I like. (:
Walked around somemore before rushing off to meet juanzhen in amk. Met up with evon and rachel before going danielle's house. We had a japan immersion program gathering and it was quite fun. Had fun during our lonh dinner where we just sat, ate and talk rubbish. (:
Left at 10.30pmand reached home at 11plus.
Out again tomorrow. Omg my social life is quite exciting eh.
RANDOM PHOTOS!
at the beach in jap. the beach rocks!
me in jap class.
new pencilcase which can be a clutch bag too! haha i like it quite a lot tho my sister insisted that the colour combi is rather odd.
the planner which i adore so much!
Friday, December 28, 2007
Anyway I totally agree with what june has said. The best invention will be the ability to teleport. It makes things so much more convenient and less time consuming. I don understand why Hiro in Heroes even bothering walking.
I don wanna study already!
Today is a happy day! (:
It started off with me going weilin's school to help her get her secondary4 books since today is the last day the bookshop's open and she's sick. It was done rather quickly. After that I went to my gma's place, which is a walkable distance from amk sec, to put the books down and rest my legs.
Then met zanyu. Went great world city to watch I am Legend and since zanyu has free tickets to gold class theatre, I am lucky to enjoy the privilege of having a really good movie experience.
Gold Class GV is quite impressive and very comfortable (but very expensive too!) We went to the class lounge to slack first. Ordered hot chocolate and Ben&Jerry's Cookie Dough. Yay I missed Cookie Dough.
The seats were really comfy! It's so well cushioned I feel like sleeping. It comes with a blue blankie too! And you can adjust the seat such that you are almost lying on a bed. It was really comfortable la. I am legend is alright. Quite scary for me cos I hate sudden loud noises which the movie has a lot. I wish I was watching enchanted. haha.
Then shopped around great world city before going amk to buy some stuff and food. We had dinner in my grandma's place. Yay my gma makes the best steamed egg ever. slack around before going back home. Thanks for sending me back (: I had fun today.
Must study now.
ME! when we were in the class lounge before the movie.
zanyu<3
in the theatre.
great world city's toilet. uber cool.
in great world city's toilet. the mirror is quite cute.
my DIY soft toys collection (: gonna give eileen zanyu and myself. (: yay!
Thursday, December 27, 2007
Went shopping with zanyu today. It's quite rare times that zanyu feel like shopping and walking a lot so we decided to go far east.
Didnt really shop for my own clothes cos I think I have spent quite a sum of money on them already. Helped him looked for belts, shirts and whatever is nice. In the end, he got a belt at a really good price and a bag. Walked damn a lot la. Saw a few clothes which I liked, but I resisted the temptation to buy them. ):
Then walked to topman and topshop to look for more clothes before having dinner in takashimaya. Spent some time after dinner looking for my 2008 diary. Why are all of them so ridiculously expensive? Urgh.
We were both tired from the walking, so we went home after that. I hope christmas sales last forever. (:
Wednesday, December 26, 2007
Met up with natalie to go for a swim and it was really hardcore swimming, for me la. Swam a total of 18 laps in one and a half hour and I feel really satisfied. (: YES! Got a whole load tanner.
Was supposed to meet up with kaixin and jodyang but they pangseh-ed us last minute. Oh well. So we took train to causeway poiny and ate in pastamania. Then went clinque (shit, I donknow how to spell.) to have my skin checked and I feel like I do not know new anything else about it. Pui.
Then went walk walk. Went the face shop, body shop etc. Sat down in Mac to rest our legs and lick on icecreams. Left at around 4plus cos nat has to give tuition. I wanna earn income too. ):
Came back home and slept. Gonna do some work later. Urgh
my 2nd DIY soft toy. (:
Tuesday, December 25, 2007
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Christmas this year wasnt as explosively fun as last year. Last year my sister and I hanged out in orchard road till 10plus at night, squeezed with the crowd for balloon hats, camwhored on the train back home and be really crazy.
This year was quiet. Just zanyu and me in causeway point. Ate in cavana before going shopping cos sales were everywhere. I failed to find a dress i like and metro slacked today! Sian. Went mondo and tried on heels. I'm gonna get one pair for chinese new year.
Went a lot of shops to shop. Then zanyu decided to meet up with his friends so we left early. Took 858 home.
Came back home and helped weixuan do the soft toy thing.
OH! and zanyu! thanks for your christmas card and chocolate! I love them (:
Haha, look like a card from a little boy right? but i like it alot. thanks <3
gonna study bio and then doing soft toy keychain for eileen too!
Monday, December 24, 2007
I was supposed to be down for a match against cedar but this morning, I woke up with a terrible sharp pain on my right lower back. I had difficulty walking man. Therefore, I decided that I am unfit for matches.
Went to the doc with my mum and 2 sisters and the doctor diagnosed it as acute back strain. I'm excused from netball for a week. So gonna grow fat. I missed out all the fun the netballers had after the matches. Rah!
But I'm feeling better already. The doc gave me quite a lot of medicine for a backstrain, including pain killers. Now I feel as though I can go back to play. Haha. So I spent the christmas eve at home, watching tv, sleeping, studying and doing my DIY soft toy keychain! I finished it today! So happy!
@ cwp. Christmas caroling and eireen's the one at the extreme right.
my 6 years old sister did this all by herself! By looking at the pictures. Very pro right.
Whee, I am very proud of myself. (:
SANTA!!!! I am a good girl this year therefore, I would like
#1 happiness and contentment for everybody!
#2 smarter brains for me
#3 to feel loved all the time
#4 good grades
#5 a life filled with surprises and fulfilment.
please (:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
hope you guys have lots of presents <3
Sunday, December 23, 2007
Today was fun though not a lot of things happened.
Went for a haircut in the morning. Haix, I'm always dissatisfied with how my haircut turned out. My fringe is wayyyyy too short and I'll look like a retard if I tie my hair up. And i look kiddy with my hair down. Pui.
Then met up with zanyu for lunch. We tried to look for my donut mix but lousy cold storage and NTUC dont have them! So I cant make. ): Anyway if I manage to make them, no one can eat too. My whole family is sick.
Went back home after that, slept for 3hours plus, studied chem and ate dinner. Naf and I then Very Impromptuly decided to go cwp to watch eireen perform. She was damn high and you feel happy looking at her perform. It lasted for half an hour.
Then naf and I went shopping. No donut mix in cold storage there too! We got munchy donuts to eat. (: Bought DIY toy and she got earrings and cross stitch. Everything for a dollar each! And cwp now has Helen! How exciting! Cwp is filled with sales, everywhere I got. So happy! Anyone wanna go shopping with me?
Match tomorrow.
Saturday, December 22, 2007
Whee christmas is coming!!! The season of giving. (: It sounds so kind.
I have a sudden enthusiasim to make donuts. That's right, home-made donuts. Sound delicious right. Haha. Eileen made them before with Linying and I'm trying to envision myself making them too. But quite unfortunately, I can only see me failing cus I don even know how to melt chocolate. Untill nafisah told me how to.
But whatever, I shall give it a try unless I lost my enthusiasim.
But it's raining now and I'm too lazy to go NTUC in this rain. Maybe tomorrow.
Yesterday was boring. The only happy thing was that I managed to get my demin skirt for an awfully good price. $24.90 only, from Pull&Bear! 30% off! Christmas is indeed kind. Racerback tops were not bad but a tad too huge for me.
And I'm starting to like the other white skirt I tried on. Boo.
Went to my gma house to help out with her stuff, had lunch before going back home. I studied chem today! Irritating Acid and Base Equilibrium! Took me the entire day cos it was 45pages long.
Shall go do my christmas card now. Whee. BYE!
teach me to to be understanding. ):
Thursday, December 20, 2007
//EDIT//
Some random pictures I wanna post up:
LOOK! I did so much maths this hols. It feels as thick as a brand new foolscap pad. (:
a very hardy plant. I find it quite fascinating.
feels happier after lunch. (:it's quite sad that I'm staying at home almost the entire day on a lovely public holiday. Am meeting zanyu for lunch later.
My whole family, except me, are down with flu. I don wanna stay at homeeeee! It's germ factory. But I'm too lazy to go out either, I just want to sleep the entire day away. :(
I shall try to finish as many integration questions as my brain will allow. Am going to finish heroes too! 2 more episods and I can finally proceed to season2.
im feeling gloomy.
Wednesday, December 19, 2007
Today was a tired and busy day.
The day started with netball matches going continuously from 8.30am to 12pm. We just played non stop. All together we played 9 quarters! and by the 6th quarter I played, my back was dying. So i volunteered to umpire. Umpiring is fun. (:
Had mistakes here and there, intercepted a few, played attacking position and defending postions too. Was rather pissed with myself for not managing to cleanly intercept passes. Taps and hit outs where there is no change of posession arent gonna help! Urgh. Changed and we went KFC to have lunch. Sat for 2 plus hours talking nonsense. Whee! Laughed a lot.
Then on the way back home, naf and I Very Impromptuly decided to go and swim since the sun is smiling so radiantly back at earth. Changed and the moment we stepped out of the changing room, the sun was gone. *&@#*&!*(#)&(~ It ALWAYS happen to me!
But we swam, nevertheless. Am supposed to swim while the rest of my teammates run. Since I dont really fancy the thought of squeezing into the training pool crowded with kids, old uncles and aunties, I shall swim today to make up for tomorrow.
So right now, I feel dead.
But! Im gonna watch HEROES ep 21 anyway!
BYE.
Tuesday, December 18, 2007
So I went swimming today! Haha with zanyu. Thanks for accompanying me though I knew that you werent really keen on that.
The sun was bright and happy and I used sunblock, for the first time, before I swam. Didnt do really hardcore swimming but oh well, we managed a few laps. It got boring and we were out of the water after 1hr and 15mins.
Bathed and had lunch before heading to the new Kallang Leisure park. It was boring because the number of shops that were opened for business can be counted with your fingers and toes. We played arcade there. Haha and saw a few vjc student councilors.
Then took bus to Orchard, Wisma and attempted to look for my earrings. Saw some which I like but they were too expensive. Was feeling rather dead by then, so we returned home.
2 matches tomorrow! I hope my back is up to it. Then swim and outing with 4/5 + tri.
Differentation sucks!
Sunday, December 16, 2007
One thing I hate about wearing earrings is when you lose one of the pair, you feel so sian immediately. I lost one side of my yellow and happy earrings! I'm so sad la cus I really like them. Oh well.
Anyway I have a lot of things to blog about! Haha.
YESTERDAY:
I went to a chinese doctor in the morning to consult about my backpain. According to him, I injured my lower back ligament but will recover. I am well enough to train but cannot do too intensive stuff. I'm not sure how reliable it is cus he knocked my back once and deduced all these. But I'm going to swim like very often now since swimming helps the back.
Then met up with jody kaixin and nat. Nat was late. Tsk! So jody kaixin and I went to look for my haviana slippers. It sucks to have small feet. The only colours available for me are white, dark grey and brown. Urgh. I wanted pink or turquiose but apparently, they are all in big sizes and I would look like I'm going scuba diving if I wore them.
SO i settled for this. I get to have a stud on one of it. Yay, so pretty. And it's quite true about newurbanmale having goodlooking salemen. They are all not bad looking.
Then we went Vilage to eat. Freaking expensive la. Jody bought a $80plus bag in Mooks. Then Nat came and we went taka to eat somemore before going to Bugis.
Went into random shops. Hung around for a long time in The Face Shop, Missha and Muji. Im so in love with this nail polish in Muji but it's $9. Haix. So I settled for a $2.90 one in Missha. And I'll hunt for a goodlooking and affordable 2008 diary.
Then went Bugis street and I got a shirt for $10. I have no choice uh. (:
Reached back at 1030 and I couldnt sleep last night. Irritating.
TODAY:
I almost died during stretching. I cannot stretch properly lo cus my back was hurting. I hope i dont get muscleaches. Did drills and ballwork and stuff. Then we had 2games with the cross guys.
It was pretty weird and funny and messy at the same time. I think I prefer having female opponents. Haha.
Freshened up and then headed home.
Then I realised one of my earrings is gone. BOOOOOOOOOO!
KOKO CRUNCH with HL strawberry milk. DAMN NICE! and the colour combi very nice too.
maybe what eireen said is right, I'm frustrated.
Saturday, December 15, 2007
Yay, I think my com can finally read emoticons. Haha.
Anyway I went out today, again. We skipped NUH thing cus we wanted a break. I slept for 10 hours, what a uncommon thing for me. Woke up and did maths! Whee I finished APGP already, currently stuck at summation. Frustrating.
Then met up with zanyu for lunch in toa payoh and then we went to visit the aids awareness campaign thing. Saw many victorians volunteering out there. It was quite unconventional and impressive. We had audio guide to lead us through the story and we get to leave lil notes and bead like thing for the people who contracted aids in Africa.
At the end of the journey, we were interviewed! And there was this huge camera placed infront of me. Sian, I hope they cut my interview out. Then at the end we had to say a line each to reinforce the message to be brought across and I had to redo mine cus I said it in a I-so-donwanna-do-this way. Ah.
Then we trained back to AMK hub, walked around and bought our new rings! HOOORAY (: Took quite a while to choose and finally settled on sand matt design ones. Whee, I love it.
Then walked around somemore before I head to my gma house to have dinner. Nice food. Got abalone! haha I almost wiped that clean. My baby cousin came and he can walk around. He looked super adorable walking unsteadily around the house. (:
Out again tomorrow. Omg.
Some random pictures:
my sister in Santa hat. Kawaii.
Zanyu and me in Marine Bay mrt station. Pardon me.
Me and naf doing volunteering at NUH.
SPOT THE VJ. omg, damn cool lar.
me in kimono PJs in Japan.
Our new rings! Bought from couple lab <3 I will treasure and make it last. (:
Friday, December 14, 2007
This sucks, my back hurts like crap and I feel like going swimming cos swimming strengthens your back. BUT, no one wants to or feels like swimming. Sian. Maybe I should go myself.
Anyway today was fun. (:
Had training in the morning first and there was only 6 of us. We did attack and defence and it was tiring man. Naf and I didnt cycle our half an hour thing as we got to rush of to NUH. Right after training, my back was killing me. I couldnt bend forward at all cus it was hurting so badly. Haix, I hope it goes away fast. I'm unwilling to spend money to see the doc.
Then rushed of to NUH and helped out with the last minute packing, balloon arranging and christmas deco. Cus today was the party for the kids and patients of NUH! Eileen and I took charge of registration whereas the rest did the giving out of goodies bags and the ushering.
I managed to steal a yellow helium balloon! But it flew away later on in the day. Crap. It was good hearing the kids roared in laughter from inside the auditorium. Ronald MacDonald came and so did Santa! A male doctor dressed up as one.
After the party, Naf, eileen, zanyu and I followed Santa around to give our presents and goodies bags. (:
After the whole x'mas thing ends, we rested a bit before going to the NUH social workers' gathering. I ate 5 slices of pizza in total! So scary! The games played were fun and the gift I got from the gift exchange was useless. I wonder which lucky soul got my really adorable pao beanbag.
Damn, who wants to go swimming with me?
HEROES! ep19!
Thursday, December 13, 2007
Happy! That's what I'm feeling today.
I was up at 6.15am this morning. *Gasps. It sucks so bad, especially when I finally have the chance to sleep in. We didnt have training today cus we were supposed to self train and I was planning to pon today's training anyway. :/ I know, it's not right.
Tossed and turned in bed till 8.45am before getting up to shower and prepared. Was out by 9.45am to meet Zanyu. We caught the 10.45am Enchanted in The Grand Cathay. There were only 8 people in the theatre, including us. (: Enchanted makes me feel happy all over again! Urgh, I cant stand myself, I'm so into fairytales.
After the movie, we lunched in Cafe Cartel (freaking expensive meal!) before meeting the $390 person to pass her my ipod touch and to collect my money. I could have so gotten $410 instead but oh well, I was too lazy to bargain for a higher bid.
It felt so weird to be involve in a online transcation. I was feeling so uncomfortable and awkward, it almost feels illegal. I hope I wont go through it again.
Then we went Pennisular to look for his hockey grip. Walked around un cityhall. Yay Zanyu got me Belgium chocolates! (though after much whinning.) Hooray. And I saw this really lovely 2008 diary which costs a freaking $24.80. Haix. Sian. But it was all bright and glittery with hearts all over. Haha but it's not really worth the price la.
But on a ligher note, I finally have money to get myself a pair of haivana's slippers. (:
and it's really interesting how one of the pre-requsitic to be new urban male's salemen is to be goodlooking. It's quite odd. I mean what customers are looking out for is good and nice looking products and not the sale person right? Haha, but it's quite interesting, nevertheless. I was shocked when I heard that.
I should have gone swimming today. The weather was good, all bright and sunny. ):
it's like weather.sudden and unpredictable.
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
Training today was fast. It was raining rather heavily so we get to use the court before the volleyball boys come. So we did our drills in one and a half hour. It was quite intensive because we kept running and stuff.
Then when they came, pretty rudely, we shifted to the gym alley and did ball work. The shooters did their stuff. Then we cycled for one hour and 15mins while watching shrek the third. It was an agonising hour cos the seat was so hard and my butt hurt so badly after that. Shrek 3 was boring. :(
Went for lunch with eireen andrea and naf. Then went studying with eireen and nafisah. It was rather productive. I managed to clear my probability tutorials and assignment, though there were loads of blanks. Probability gives me headaches.
Was so damn tired on the bus. I never fail to sleep on buses these few days so journey to and fro school feels really short.
HEROES!
hey, im sorry for being stubborn and petty.
Tuesday, December 11, 2007
Today's weather was cool!
Training in the morning was fast. We just had to finish stages and then a half an hour run and we're done. Therefore we ended training really early at 10.30am. We were at parkway's mac by 11am. Yay. Had big breakfast. (:
It was bright and sunny and happy.
Then went bedok mrt station to meet eileen and we both headed to pasir ris, wild wild wet. Tried on various rides, were mostly in the shiok river though. The Ular-lar was fun and thrilling! I love the initial pluge, the heart dropping into stomach kind of feeling. Went for the two seater bike thing too. I was too scared to try the samsung though. It looks damn scary. Hanged around in tsunami pool and the jacuzzi one.
I'm red like a lobster! The sun was bright! (: Then went we came out of the changing room, bathed and smelling like flowers, it poured. Haha. Ate cheesefries, before having dinner at cavana in white sands shopping mall.
I'm broke like crap now. Am left wuth $12 to last me the entire week which is so impossible but heck la.
I should do some work now.
Monday, December 10, 2007
Sian.
Slept at 1am this morning and woke up at 5.45am. I survived on 4hours and 45mins of sleep. I'm quite surprised that I managed to.
Training was fine. Did normal passes, high-low and lope passes were killer. I was gasping for air when I was done with my sets. Horrible. We learnt clearing of space and offering 2 options for courtwork. Rather useful since most of the time I'm too lazy to offer when another person is offering.
Then Naf and I bathed before heading to NUH to do cip. We were starving when we reached. Ate and then was briefed on what we have to do. Prepared christmas goodies bags for the patients. It was a rushy but systematic way. Was done in an hour and half time. Shawn, Eileen, Zanyu and 2 other Linying's juniors came.
Then wrapped 148 gifts for them too before leaving.
Rah!
Now I'm damn tired. I shall sleep early.
Sunday, December 09, 2007
My next week's plan before it has even begun:
MON: training + cip
TUE: training + wild wild wet (if it doesnt rain)
WED: training + stayover (heroes) with the netballers
THURS: training + selling off ipod + enchanted with zanyu
FRI: training + cip + NUH xmas party
SAT: NUH
SUN: out with nat anna kx and bighead jody
omg, i so gonna have to squeeze time for my studies. I have have have to finish probability tutorial by this week, maths revision and reading of this year topics by the next 2weeks. I'm 2 issues behind for time mag and I just borrowed a new book to read. My god.
I was kinda expecting myself to stay at home and mug today. And ironically, I feel happy with this plan. BUT! My family had to spring me this surprise of going to Singapore Expo cus John Little is having this mega sale and it was sucha huge temptation! Sian.
So my dad drove me to eileen's place to return her winter clothings and stuff, then back to NTUC xtra to get my tumbler and 6pairs of socks, before driving us to Expo. Wa, the stuff there are damn cheap!
Me and my sis went crazy buying undergarments cus they normally cost a bomb outside but were selling very cheaply there. Yay. Then we got a yellow clutch bag and a necklace too. Didnt buy clothes cus there werent any fitting rooms. My mom didnt buy anything! so wasted. She got my lil sister clothes and toys only.
Then long journey back home. Slept and did maths.
Heroes now. Hooray.
Saturday, December 08, 2007
I seemed to be out every single day and I'm pretty sick of my lifestyle. So I guess I wont be down for siewhwee's birthday dinner! So sorry guys but I have a weekful of training coming up and I feel like taking a break. :/
THURSDAY
Was kinda happy that I could snooze in at home as there isnt training cus we had a match at night. Started on probability tutorial 12.1 and after a whole day of trying-to-solve-more-questions, I kinda gave up on attempting and just read Patrica Cornwell's Predator. What a nice book. It got me hooked for hours till my eyes hurt from reading. Then napped a bit before meeting naf to go kallang.
Match was okay. Maybe cus our opponents wasnt strong but generally, there was an improvement in the flow of the passing down the court. Won. Rushed back to watch ANTM finale. Haha.
FRIDAY
Trained in the morning. It was tiring. Had to do stages with intervals (4.8k in total) in between the sets. It started fine but when I was doing my last run, I could feel myself dragging my feet against the track. Urgh. Then we watched shutter while doing our 45mins cycling. It was so scary la! I hate horror shows. My sweat dripping towel was wrapped around my eyes half the time while i was cycling.
Then evening was poolside party and it was so filled with kids cus the theme was High School Musical. Nevertheless, it was fun. Dance performances wasnt bad. I managed to steal a yellow helium filled balloon! Yayness!
SATURDAY
Nuh in the morning. It was packed with kids so we played colouring, blocks and engineer set. Then me and zanyu went amk to have lunch before heading to the library. Zanyu fell asleep while reading a book. Tsk tsk, reading is fun man. Then went ntuc xtra and found my tumbler. Gonna get it tomorrow. Met my sec4 friends and we went chomp chomp to eat. It was okay. Had fun talking to my ex classmates. (:

ALERT!
I'm selling my 8GB Ipod Touch at any negotiable price as long as it's above $400. It's worth $498 according to singnet but I'm not sure what's the market price. Any interested buyers can just tag on my blog or email me at craz_gal90@hotmail.com and I'll get back to you asap. (: Buy from me lei!
Training today was tiring. We were all aching from yesterday's cable ski and I even felt tired walking. Alamak. But training was fun and interesting. Hannah joined us and it felt great training with giants again. Hooray!
Match tomorrow. 8.40pm! I wanna rush back home to catch ANTM finale! ):
Then met up with my sister after our training to watch Enchanted. Oh my god, I wanna so watch it once more. I was smiling throughout the movie and it was so funny. I felt so happy, alive and light headed went I came out of the theatre. Fairytales are so dreamlike, so happy, so xinfu. I like!
Was sad that the movie ended so fast. When it ends, the fairytale ends. Haix. I feel like getting a pair of haviana slippers but they're so overpriced, they gonna burn a biig hole in my pocket. But they're so pretty. ):
Got new pair of earrings. They're yellow and happy. I'm feeling quite happy and contented and xinfu now though my body feels as though it's gonna wither up and die.
And I miss zanyu! He's away on his hockey camp and it seems like I've never seen him for ages, though he came to pick me up from the airport. Boo.
Okay, I'm tired already. Shall do maths tomorrow.

Konnichiwa, vikutoria kookoo no, sheerlingu desu. Dooze yoroshiku. (:
Japan Immersion trip was a blast. It was so rocking that I didnt want to come back to hot and humid Singapore. The weather is lovely, the people there are very nice and well mannered and even the toilet bowls are cool.
I'm too lazy to blog out every single little details about the trip cus I'll probably need a year to do that. So I'll sum that up really brief like the top 10things we about each day. haha.
DAYONE
1. Plane flight was terribly long and tiring.
2. Was shocked by the suction force of the toilet bowls on the plane. It looked like it could suck me in effortlessly.
3. Long bus ride to Righa Hotel. By then I was having a slight headache already.
4. Welcome party in a buffet style.
5. Sharon Au was there. She; currently studying there in Waseda University. How cool.
6. Not accustomed to the cold yet so my nose kept clogging up.
7. Suyi came over to my room and we donned on our kimono PJS and camwhored
8. Watched transformers on the plane.
9. Dad fetched me to changi airport. Thanks daddy.
10. Woke up at 4.30am. Walao, first time lei.
DAYTWO- Okaiba
1. Went Okaiba where Fugi TV company is located.
2. Toured in FUji TV company. It was boring cus media wasnt my interest. And we walked alot.
3. Shopped! Spent S$81 mostly on friends' presents. Im nice.
4. Almost died from cold cus I left the winter jacket on the bus thinking that we'll be indoors. Bah, I was shivering for around 40mins. The wind came coming. ):
5.Had dinner in Sizzler Buffet. It was yummy. Had fondue and what not. Very shiok.
6. Got lots of small keychains for my friends as presents.
7. Dont like Japanese food. Bento, Soba, Udon whatever.
8. Found this very tradition jap shop but we had to gather already. How sad cant shop.
9. Went back hotel, bathed and slept. Quite tired.
10. Japan turns dark at 4plus lei. Damn cool. By 5, it looks like 8 in Singapore.
DAYTHREE- Disneyland
1. It was frrreeeezzzzziiiingggg cold my god. Temperature feels like 10 degree celsius.
2. Wore long john + shirt + sweater + winter coat. I look like a dumpling that could roll.

TODAY-
Cable skiing sucked! I suck at it. Haha, I cant travel for more than 100m without falling into the water. The water was damn salty la. Didnt really enjoy it but it was a gerat experience! Ran 4.8k. It felt good to run though I could feel that my stamina has gone down.
My fingers are cramping from too much typing.
I missed Japan and our wonderful SILS facilitators and organisers. They were all very nice and patient to us. I might consider going SILS some point in my life.
Alright, dinner and then probability!
