okko.. today I went zouk.. What did I wear? Hmm.. spaghettti strapped top, black pants and heels... my four leaf clover necklace and my prom earrings.. Amanda and I took cab to zouk cos we were running late but turned out that we were just in time... There was a long queue behind us too.. I saw a lot of SAJC people.. Yue Qing, people from s53 probably there to support Kelvin Tan who made one of the the fifteen male finalists for the inter jc pageant.. I saw Jeremy Na, the SAJC prom king and the senior councillor.. zhan hong izzit? Melvin and the soccer team was there.. Disappointing thing was seeing people whom I thougt were very nice people smoking.. Abel from s91 was smoking.. so did Zhan hong? is the councillor even zhan hong? zhan something lahz.. sheesh.. Saw a couple of SC girls there too.. Rebecca Quek, Kai Shian, Vanessa, Danchi and Xiaoli.. all there to party and later find out that deborah yeo from scgs was one of the contestants as well..
I tried a couple of drinks.. just a few sips from vanessa, becky quek and kai shian's drinks.. interesting.. I tried.. vodka with 7up, borbourn(?) with coke and kai shian's vodka with dunnoe wat.. I didn't noe wat to get so i got vodka and 7up while mandy got vodka lime.. I found vodka lime a bit bitter.. while my vodka 7up was basically tasteless.. hahaha.. Wat's with all the hype about alcohol anyway?? sheesh? wat's so great? maybe I haven't drank enuf to give me a buzz yet.. I took only one drink anywae..
As for Zouk, it was pretty cool cos they had these luminensce lights and anyone who wore white or anything white glowed.. nice.. Hahaha.. oh yeah.. Amanda got asked for her ID at the entrance.. hahahaha.... poor dear.. doesn't she look old enuf? I got thru easily enuf.. then the guy who stamped my hand said hello to me!!!! hahaha.. *evil laughter* he didn't say hi to amanda.. see ahz.. guys.. see a bit more flesh only liddat.. haha.. maybe amanda taller than him izzit? hahaha..
The inter jc pageant contestants looked really gd.. certain guys were very very cute especially the crave 04 winner.. so shuai!!!! girls all looked gd lahz.. the competitition ended at ten so we went home.. the end..
I guess clubbing is fun.. IF and only IF there are more people with you.. since there was only Mandy and I, it got a little boring.. We don't dance, don't drink and don't smoke.. Well.. tt's tt.. anyone wants to go clubbing with me next time? Make sure our group has at least 4 or 5 people..

My week~
Hi everyone!
I'm back!! This week has been pretty eventful! Firstly, I had my sleepover at Rui Zhi's house - three day, two night thingy from 15 to 17dec, then I met up with my worldview youth conference mates on the 18th and i caught up with Tiffany from SCPS and junaedy on the 19dec..
First on the adgenda.. the sleepover!!!! ASKJR rox!! totally!! I had so much fun during the sleepover!! For those who don't know, ASKJR stands for Alicia, Siow Chien, Kai Jun, Rui Zhi and Jasmine! :] We originally wanted to bring Rui ard singapore and eat all the different types of traditional Singaporean food but Rui didn't want to..
So... we went to Sentosa since rui wanted to... It's kinda like a farewell sleepover with Rui cos she's migrating to Aus.. My bestfriend!! Boohoohoo... So we went to Sentosa to... play golf! hahaha.. It was hilarious! I was terrible at it! Absolutely!! Holes that required 2 strokes, I took like 6 strokes.. hahaha.. Rui emerged as the overall winner of the 18 holes.. Aiyohz.. the girl ahz.. beginner my foot ahz!! hahaha.. Tiger Lai~ don't tell her i said this.. she'll cringe and kill me! *evil laughter* Then Rui wanted to go the beach so we took the monorail to the beach.. We wanted to find the 7/11 and ended up walking half the length of sentosa to find the blasted shop.. hahaha.. Never hire any of us to be your tour guides.. hahaha..
By then, everyone was exhuasted so we decided to return to the actual Singapore island.. We went to habourfront to shop for dinner.. Simple fare since that was all we could manage.. And went back to Rui Zhi's house to cook. We has porridge (since Alicia wasn't feeling well and everyone didn't want to eat rice), soup and some canned food. Hey! We're beginners at the cooking thing! Hahaha.. Stir fried the canned food - spiced pork cubes, bamboo shoots, black beans and fish, seperately of cos.. The soup was a lot of fun.. Rui ran out of chicken broth so we added half a cube of chicken stock... Added meat balls, mushrooms, chinese cabbage and tofu in the soup.. not bad tasting.. we have hope!! hahaa.. Kaijun, Rui Zhi and I were in charge of the cooking since the kitchen is quite small.. Boy, did that bring back memories when we were in Home E in SCGS.. three of us were in consecutive order in the class register.. Dinner was great! Esp for the hungry people who attacked the meal with relish.. haha..
In the end, Alicia has to leave because she was ill.. Hiaz.. We're down to four people.. The rest of us cleared up and watched TV and talked.. We slept pretty late.. around 3am? talking on and on about random things.. yanoe.. girl talk.. haha
Day 2 of the sleepover.. we went shopping for the bbq in the evening!! Bought a lot of stuff but the poor dears Rui Zhi and Kaijun has to lug the groceries all the way back while Siow Chien brought me to the recruitment agency where she had to go for an interview. The best part of the day was the BBQ!!! It was small considering that there were only 4 of us but it was great fun! We made a salad and had marinated chicken wings, hotdogs, taiwanese sausages, otah, marshmellows, chips. Starting the fire was so much fun!!! I love fire! Hahaha... Problem is that we( Kaijun and I) made the fire too strong.. It died later so we had to restart it.. hahaha.. Not bad for first timers... BBQing food was fun, fun, fun!!! hahaha.. Esp when there's so little people so everyone's around the pit and chatting.. unlike some other bbqs with lots of people and some people are stuck at the pit bbqing non stop.. Photos are with Rui.. It's the best bbq I've ever had.. The good friends, the great conversation and the wonderful food done by ourselves.. Independence at our best! Hahaha... Ended the bbq at night toasting marshmellows.. Didn't know that I have so many marshmellow nuts ard me.. the other three absolutely adore marshmellows.. me? I found it too sweet (the next day, the other packet was less sweet so i ate from the other packet more).. Health conscious people like us also had watermelon!!! Not bad for teenagers having their own bbq eh? a salad - butterhead lettuce, eggs, tomatoes, and a fruit.. fibre and vit C.. Siow Chien had to leave that night because she had to leave for Thailand the next day for holidays so it was down to three of us.. Rui Zhi, Kaijun and me! Kaijun went a bit zonky.. Think she ate too much chocolate and marshmellows.. She would puncuate her sentences with a giggle.. like ALL her sentences.. haha... we didn't even have alcohol manz! hahaha.. She splashed around in the pool and jacuzzi while Rui and I dipped our feet in, not wanting to get wet.. Slept soundly later that night...
Next day, we woke up late and made lunch the same way we had dinner the first night, porridge and soup.. Simple fare is fastest and makes use of all the leftovers.. So into the soup went the remains of the uncooked veg, meatballs, fishballs. Leftover chicken wings were shredded and put in the porridge and there you have it.. lunch!! haha.. After clearing up, the three of us spent the afternoon chatting about life, marriage and children.. haha.. girls like to dream a lot..
Voila.. My sleepover summarised in my lenghty, long winded way.. :]

Post exams!
Oh dear.. the exams are not even here yet and I'm all hyped up about my post examinations activities. That can't be a good thing, can it? Let's see what are my plans for the not so distant future...
I wanna learn japanese!! So I can sprout off jap in the car with Amanda while my mum talks to her friend in Malay.. Hahaha.. Plus, it will be a big bonus if I learn the language well enough such that I can use it in any future jobs.
I wanna get a job!! I need ka-chink to go on holidays! (Japan! Australia! Taiwan!) Shopping for my manga and anime will take up quite a bit of cash.. so I need money! Plus, I need to go and girlify myself.. tt means skirts, dresses, shoes, jewellery, bags, make-up(ok.. b4 I get make-up, I need to learn how to not poke myself in the eyeball with the mascara wand.. ok.. not tt it has happened before.. but...)
As for immediate post exams activities( Is there such a thing? ).. Hopefully, I have 4 sleepovers planned... one right after the exams, one in mid dec and one at the end of Dec and one yet to be planned. There's Baka Matsuri on dec26 for anime fans.. catch you there if u're coming.. as for tix, u need to ask amanda..
So who esle wants to go out after As? I'm up for dinners, lunches, high teas, suppers, hahah.. as long as I can eat, I'll probably will.. getting a controlling device to curb my eating at the end of this year. As for what it is, you'll find out at the end of this year..
Or esle, anyone up for taking neoprints? hahah... movies? shopping? Slacking? chucking out all the junk in my room?

So long, farewell
Children:
There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hallAnd the bells in the steeple tooAnd up in the nursery an absurd little birdIs popping out to say "cuckoo"
Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Children:
Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:
Regretfully they tell us
Cuckoo, cuckoo
But firmly they compel us
Cuckoo, cuckoo
To say goodbye . . .
Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:
Cuckoo!
Children:
. . . to you
Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
Marta:
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Friedrich:
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu
Children:
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
Liesl:
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Kurt:
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye!
Brigitta:
I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
Louisa:
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly
Gretl:
The sun has gone to bed and so must I
Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Guests:
Goodbye!
Anyone watched The sound of music before? It's beautiful to watch and great to sing along to. Anyway, I was sitting right in front of my computer and wondering what on earth should I put on my blog to describe today's farewell assembly when this song popped into my head... I think it's a really nice song and in a way, it kind of says how everyone has to say goodbye at the end of a wonderful day.
For many of us, we have made fast friends in this unfamiliar environment called SAJC. Some of these friends, we may no longer be close to, while others are still kept dear to our hearts. Although we may not know what the future holds for us, I think we can safely say that these two years in SAJC has been an enriching experience and that whatever we learnt in SA can be applied in our future endeavours. Most of us have matured and come to know of our flaws as while as become accepting of them. At the same time, we also seek to improve ourselves and try to be more accepting of other people's flaws too. It seems odd to think of ourselves as newbies entering the junior college just last year when the two years that are coming to an end have been filled with so much fun, joy and laughter and experiences.
I use to wonder what life would have been like had I chose to go to NJC instead of remaining in SAJC. Afterall, NJC is a top 5 school and to many kiasu Singaporeans, ranking is everything. But after spending my JC life in Saint Andrew's, I guess it is true to say that,
"No one is here by chance."

Singapore idol!
Ok.. This is the first time that I'm watching the Singapore Idol finalists perform and boy, am I bowled over by their performance!
David Yeo... nice haircut.. Not too bad performance, he started the ball rolling..
Daphne.. I didn't like her much initially because I thought her voice was whiny but she did well tonight and her voice wasn't whiny at all.. She'll stay in the competition for quite some time..
Taufiq... I wasn't very impressed but his moves, dancing and singing were very well coordinated.. very smooth and suave, just like what Florence said..
Sly... pai kia hair.. but nice choice of song and not too bad performance..
Olinda... I think she could have done better and picked a better song.. Jiayou Olinda!
Christopher.. darling chrisypoo... why are u still in this competition??? U're like, banking on your cutenes factor and for a guy, it's a great turn off...
Maia... I thought she did well, apparently the judges didn't think so... But she's the sexiest in the competition so maybe she can stay a while...
Jerry... He reminds me of Casey Leong.. ahahahahah... he doesn't have a strong voice and i'm not impressed..
Leandra... Wonderful wonderful wonderful.. clear voice, great vocals.. Nice style.. She should make top 5 easily.. i would say top 3 if not for the fact that this competition is dependent on voting..
So good luck Oli and Leandra!
EviL me hopes Chrissypoo gets kicked out.. or esle, it wouldn't be fair.. i mean.. geez, what's so great about this guy who still thinks that he's a little boy? Sheesh..
David Yeo... nice haircut.. Not too bad performance, he started the ball rolling..

Friendship~
"Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation."

Economics.. Hahaha.. It's expected that I won't do well in it.. I got.. 51!!! I'm like near the bottom of my class.. third from the bottom and tied.. my class only has 11 people but still!!!! I'm so near the base.. yikes!
Chem.. surprisingly, the chem prac that I was dreading turned out to be a life saver cos my chem paper 3 bombed.. I was so worried for my prac because I couldn't remember when the end point was and the invigilator was like frowning at my titration.. Turns out that my readings were right after all.. okok.. My grades are tt gd.. but I managed to pull up my paper 3 a little..
Bio.. My bio structured and option structured are bad. very bad.. looks like I have to practise more on structured... This time, my bio essays(paper 2 and option) are my life savers. This is surprising as I hated to memorise bio in sec sch and I still dislike memorising now.. Well.. My bio prac bombed too.. Just passed.. it's so terrible that I can't understand it..
Math.. Err.. haha.. my stats was bad lohz.. I just had a mock paper 2 today... dunnoe how to do so many questions and those that I managed to do, half of them were referred.. shucks.. Looks like I must pia for my paper 1 and work hard for my paper 2 too! I managed to do complex nos!!!!!!!! HAhaha.. okok.. it was an easy question but Yes!!! the first step is to conquer mental blocks towards the topic.. the rest will come along soon..
3As.. It's so difficult to obtain!!! I haven't even kissed an A before in this two years.. But.. nothing's impossible.. I've seen people who have poor results do well this prelims.. must learn from them.. Everyone is sch seems to be mugging for the As too.. Well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do..
Gambate!

Alevels!!! Yikes!
A levels are drawing near!! Yikes!! On one hand, I want time to pass faster so that i can get the A levels over and done with so that I can get on with my life. On the other hand, I'm too unprepared for examinations to want them to be nearer. I guess, this is the same for everyone.. *sigh*
More results will be out soon and I'm really worried because my pracs were really really bad and that can pull my whole grade down. Math is ok but i'm worried about my paper 2 because stats and complex nos are my weak points(I left like 23 marks blank in stats). Econs wise, errr... It's just bad.. that is a great cause for worry. Biology, I'm worried for my prac because I faked the whole thing... Option is out of my control so i can only hope that I didn't make any stupid head-banging mistakes. Chemistry... *sigh* my mcq bombed... made so many careless mistakes that will haunt me later when i get my terrible practical. Chem Prac was horrendous. I'm really dreading the return of the chemistry practical. As for chem paper 3, that's out of my control too.. I think i lacked sleep because I studied until so late for the paper. My mind was like blank when i was doing the paper, writing whatever that comes to mind so I genuninely hope that some information that i studied managed to stick in.
Well, what's done is done. The only thing i can do now is to buck up and move on. Now is not the time to slack and play. I really have to be conscientious and focused in my studies now.
I have to do well.

Lalala~ Today's a gd day for me~~
Ok... let's see.. I went out with Mandy and Lynette aka Fuji aka Mandy's friend aka chiobu. Hahha.. We went to the yaoi con(sort of) at Hotel Grand Central. I spent about $30 there... woo hoo! Bought an absolutely darling Roy Mustang pin... an adorable mini file and some paper with SDs and shuai ges! And FMA bookmarks! Err... dun bother figuring out the cost.. :]
Walk around for a while in orchard and who did i see?????? TORTURED SCHOLAR!!! Heh heh heh... He was in his NS army uniform carrying a huge bag.. dun ask me why is he in orchard.. and the best of it all? He recognised me too!!!! Hahahah.. We (Mandy, Lyn and I) were walking towards far east to get Lyn's ears pierced at CK Tang, when I happened to just look in his direction and we recognised each other and seem so surprised!!! Hahaahaa... it's FATE!!! I tell u.. it's FATE! ok lah, 10 secs later, never see liaoz... cos we were walking in different directions.. but still! It's fate.. I haven't even seen him in monthss, haven't even thought of him in months.. then i see him!!!! *grinz* hahahahah
Then at far east, we met Raphael who's amanda's neighbour and pretty cute..(He's built.. but a bit short for me, i think he's perfect for lyn tho.. but he's younger than her) Hahah.. First thing i did after hearing his name from amanda was to ask whether it was his real name.. after all, half of mandy's friends go by aliases.. I mean, he looked so fair in the neoprint.. so chinese mahz.. so i was like, "maybe he's called chong boon then he calls himself raphael to sound cooler.." Hahaha.. Nope, his real name is raphael and he's indonesian.. no such chong boon.. haha.. Wondered ard Orchard and took neoprints, will put up here soon..
That's all for today.. Wonder wat esle fate will throw in my path.. *grinz*

Books
Ok.. I shall talk about some of my favourite books so anyone who loves reading can go check them out too...
They are in no order of merit.. *grinz*
1)Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Lovely book.. first few books to make me cry.. I've read it only once because 1)It makes me cry 2)It's a really long book.. I need time to savour it... :]
2)Cat and mouse by James Patterson
Engaging story that draws you right into the plot. Thrilling police and thief chase. Brilliant mastery of the criminal and police psyche (did i spell tt rite?) A definite must-read!
3)Roses are red by James Patterson
Another brilliant book about Detective Alex Cross and his search for his nemesis. Ok.. Some of his books are a bit explicit in the murder scenes.. take some time to get used to it.. Consider yourself warned.
4)The Search by Iris Johansen
I love this book! I read the first two of this series(not really a series lahz, but the characters are linked) and the character Sarah was introduced in the second book. There was a little interaction between Sarah and Logan in the second book called The Final Target. So for those who have time, it's The Face of Deception, then The Final Target, and The Search. Sort of cop and thief thriller to simplify matters.
5)Certain Prey by John Sanford-I think tt's the author
Haha.. There's a gay policeman in here who cracks me up. He tries to explain how gay men look at this differently to his female partner only to have his female partner say tt it's a load of bullshit.. Muahaha.. okok.. tt's not the story. It's about this women who hires a female hitwoman to kill off the wife of her lover. Basically, something happens and the hitwoman is like sort of exposed so she has to get away from the police and the chase is on! I don't do the story justice. Police and thief again! :]
6)Taipan by James Clavell
I've only read this once because it's pretty thick too. I found the flowery language slightly draggy but i still enjoyed the story. Hahah.. I need to find another time to read through it thoroughly. It's like about an English man who enters Hong Kong to make himself Taipan - king/boss. It's an interesting mix of east and west.
7)Open Season by Linda Howard
Romance! Hahah.. It's about this woman deciding to take charge of her life and finally get a boyfriend. Throw in a chief of police who annoys her to death and ta-ta, you get a hilarious story of how they'll end up together
8)How to trap a Tycoon by Elizabeth Bevarly
I bought this for fun. Turns out the story is pretty good. Ok, I ended up focusing more on the minor characters.. Hahah.. I like the little side love story happening between the minor characters watz.. it's funny! Ok.. it's fun to read. Nothing that you can seriousy use to trap a tycoon tho.. :]
Tt's all for now.. I have yet to read the Da Vinci Code but i've been told that it's very good. For now, lack of time and cash limits my reading
They are in no order of merit.. *grinz*

When You Say Nothing At All Lyrics
by Ronan Keating
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd (the crowd)
Try as they may they could never define
What's been said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all
(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all..)
The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know that you need me..
lalalala~~~ When will I get a boyfriend? Hahahhaa.. my life is put on the hold for my As.. sheesh... let's hope i will at least do well for As.. then i can spend time looking for a bf later.. My future depends on me.. men... who needs them? Muahahaha..

Kelly Chen
Lovers' Concerto
How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up on the trees
Serenade the clouds with their melody
How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up on the trees
Serenade the clouds with their melody
Oh! See there beyond the hill
The bright colours of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Made this day for us, just to fall in love
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you'll love me
And that your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
Now, I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I'll give to you every part of me
Oh! Don't ever make me cry
Through long lonely nights without us
Be always true to me
Keep this day in your heart eternally
You hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And that your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
I heard this while watching a kelly chen movie a long long time ago.. When I was in pri sch or lower sec.. Nice~~

Olympics...
"After beating world No 1 Lin Dan, Singapore's Ronald Susilo has defeated Germany's Bjoern Joppien 15-11, 15-6 in a straight-game win on Tuesday."
Oh yeah! Ronald Susilo got me hooked to the screen as I watched him play Lin Dan and Bjoern Joppien... His strokes were powerful and you could literally see him thinking on court. Susilo's reflexes were also lightning quick and his stride was big enough for him to cover the court easily. His mind stayed focused even when his opponents tried to make a comeback. All in all, it was sheer poetry in motion. AMAZING!
Ronald Susilo!!! I'm rooting for you!! Jiayou! Jiayou!! Good luck in Athens! Do Singapore proud!

Wonderful World (Don't Know Much)
by Sam Cooke
Album :
Submitted by : Doron Ganot
Corrected by : Emma
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for.
But I do know that one and one is two,
And if this one could be with you,
What a wonderful world this would be.
Now i don't claim to be an "A" student,
But I'm trying to be.
For maybe by being an "A" student baby
I can win your love for me.
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took.
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me too,
What a wonderful world this would be.

But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me too,
What a wonderful world this would be.
Isn't this a cute song??? Hahaha.. I heard it on the radio..

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for.
But I do know that one and one is two,
And if this one could be with you,
What a wonderful world this would be.
Now i don't claim to be an "A" student,
But I'm trying to be.
For maybe by being an "A" student baby
I can win your love for me.
Don't know much about history

HaPPy BirThDay, Amanda!!
Amanda's birthday surprise was a total flop! Hahahaha.. She called me ard 7pm to ask me sumthing and i was like, "oh no! She discovered tt i was planning to go to her house? How?" Of cos, it was a false alarm.. she was just telling me tt she met my cousin kevin in her poly tennis class.. Phewww...
My mum dropped me off at Orchard at 8 sumthing.. so i went to buy Amanda's present.. the plan was simple.. Buy present, buy cake, take bus, reach Amanda's house, SURPRISE!! hahaha.. Choosing the present turned out to be interesting.. so many nice shiny things at perlini's! hahaha... Saw the perfect necklace for Mandy too! It's some musical sign thing.. dunnoe wat.. but since Mandy loves music.. It's great for her!
Went to buy cake... hahah.. Small one lahz.. broke liaoz.. hahaha.. From taka food court, next to the Brownie factory.. It's called.. Swiss something.. hahahaa.. can't remember the name.. The lady was like saying, "One candle rite?" I was thinking.. should be for 18 yrs old, then i look down at the cake, "ok, one candle lahz" hahhaa.. cake too small liaoz...
Mission accomplished!!! Take bus to her house.. Walk in, then I'm faced with my next hurdle.. How to get into Amanda's block cos u need a scan a card to get in.. Sat on the bench outside her block.. crossing my fingers and hoping someone would come out.. Haha.. Actually, someone did come out from her block, but i was like 50m away.. Honestly, you can't expect me to sprint with a cake in my hands rite? Tick tock.. tick tock.. Five mins passed! A family is coming out!! Oh yeah! Am I lucky or wat? Wait for the 502 express only wait 5 mins somemore.. wait for someone to come out of her block, only 5 mins too!
Went upstairs.. called her house.. waiting for her to pick up the phone and come to the door.. Then... the phone in her house... rang... continued to ring.. She's NOT AT HOME!!! aarggdhghh... Haha.. tt's why my surprised failed.. tt woman ahz.. tell me 9 sumthing she'll be at home online, can send my manga then (It's a diversion.. checking tt she's home)...bluff me lohz.. went to IMM for dinner.. haha.. So in the end, I called her and told her tt i was at her doorstep.. come home.. ahhaha.. should have just gone into her house since her maid was home and waited for her.. hahaha..

KIDS!
Kids are so cute!!!!
I was studying in the chart room when a 20-something year old guy came in with this whole group of kids-they were his nieces and nephews. Think the max age for the kids were like 8? 9? So anyway, all the boys are so cute!!! One little boy started crying, "I want mummy! I want mummy!" And the kids were yelling and making a whole lot of noise. One gd thing was tt I just finished studying so i won't tt irritated with them. Then another little boy(think he was the oldest there) turned to me and said, "Sorry for disturbing you!" So cute!!! I was smitten.. hahaha... I wanna have a little boy too... SO CUTE!!
The uncle was trying to get them to sit around the coffee table and locate where they were on the map but the kids didn't want to listen to him. They were too busy yelling out what they wanted to do instead and complaining that there was no place to sit. So the uncle said, "Okok, you all sit. I'll stand." Hahaha... by the way, the uncle speaks with an accent? American? dunnoe.. and he's pretty cute and really gd with the kids. Another little boy was even cuter!!!! He was talking admist the yelling, "I don't want to do anything! I want to listen to gugu!" Hahahaha.. So cute lohz! Isn't he just an angel? Hiaz...
Noise from little ones are better than no noise at all. It's the sound of new life, the sound of cheer and vitality. The innocence, fun, joy and laughter of a child is a glorious thing.
I love children and I used to want two. Haha.. now, the more the merrier. Of cos, these things are not up to us.. I'll probably be an indulgent parent who spoils her kids rotten but I believe in 'Spare the rod and spoil the child'. Children should be taught and disciplined since young. That way, they will be more obedient when they are older...

GP lecture today
Hmm... today's GP lecture was pretty interesting.
I've come to realise how much i can't stand the library teacher.. Her voice is so freaking annoying! It's like a kind of breathy voice that seems so weak and vulnerable, the type that screams, "Help me! Save me! I'm just a weak and defenceless woman!" The hilarious part was when nobody wanted to answer her question and she was like "Soo Guan! Can u help me?" With the breathy, vulnerable voice of hers, I think most people found the situation highly amusing.
The way she lectures is so odd too! I mean, most teachers will look at you when they lecture right?(You, being a general term, referring to the students) But no... She looks at... what? I have no idea too.. She just keeps staring at a place between Nep and this s62 girl.. not at them, between them.. and height wise, not even at the person behind them.. She was like, staring into space while she lectures or sumthing..
The way she talks is like an insult to our intelligence too. I have a feeling that she was simplifying things so that we can understand the GP stuff better but it's like belittling us. She kept stopping when she barely talked about anything to ask if we can understand what she's saying. The problem with this, is that she barely even started lecturing so what's there not to understand? Sheesh..
What I can't most about her is her eyes. She's weird yanoe. I saw her in the cafe once when she was sitting by herself at the teachers' table near the drink machine and she was looking at a particular student with like, slanted eyes. It's kinda hard to describe and I can't think of how to say it. A bit like, diao people that kinda look, or in chinese, it's like something bai yan, i think. I mean, what's her freaking problem? Look at people like that for wat? The student didn't notice but i pity the poor kid.. Dunnoe wat's wrong with her attitude..
And she's MARRIED! Can you believe that? Either her husband is those macho, willing to rescue the damsel in distress type of person or esle I dunnoe how he is able to stand her.
Ok, I'm done ranting... Something abt her just irks me..

Everything You Want Lyrics
by Vertical Horizon
Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return
[Chorus]
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
[Chorus]
But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return
[Chorus]
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know
Anyone has this song? can send to me? I kinda lost the cd..

Fate is interesting..
Often have I wondered what life would have been like if it weren't for fate.
What if...
I had not approached Amanda in Primary one orientation and asked her to be my partner? Would we have been so close like today? After all, we were in the same class from primary one to six. Would we have been able to maintain our friendship and tell everyone that we have known each other for eleven years?
What if..
My dad had listened to my mum and bought a house in Dover Road? Would I have gone to Fairfield Primary instead of Swiss Cottage Primary? Would I have missed out on knowing all my present primary sch friends? Missed out on knowing such great people? Or would I have known equally nice people like Gloria?
What if...
I had not listened to my parents and had put MGS instead of SCGS as my first choice sch in Primary six? Would I have missed out knowing fantastic people like Rui Zhi, Kai Jun, Alicia and Siow Chien? Or people like Julie, Eliza, Agnes, Wei Zhen...? Or would I have been closer to Jojo in MGS or have even known Shu Yun in Secondary sch?
What if...
I had not gone to the cruise in Sec one and had gone for my guides orientation? After all, I did make it through the guide interview (There were too many people who wanted to be a guide.)Would I have made some great friends in guides? Gone to the NDP for marching? Gotten an A for my CCA record?
What if...
I had not joined squash because Mrs Kee asked everyone without a CCA to join squash? Would I have been so close to Rui Zhi? Would I have eventually picked up the sport by some other way?
What if...
I had not thought that Siyu's irc nick-GAO was odd and clicked on his name to talk to him. Would I have known him by some other way? Would I have written to him?
What if...
I hadn't gone to Taiwan and known Yiwei and Yue Qing? Would I have hoped to have gone to NJC instead of SAJC? Would I have missed out on knowing all my great friends and my great first three months classmates? Neppy Nep Nep Nep, Justin-jiejie, bailu - xiao evil, julia, wanjing.. Or would i have found out earlier who my 'cousin' was in NJ?
What if...
I had joined Interact instead of Mentoring? Would I have missed out on knowing all the mentoring people? Chengwen, Inez, Linda, Dzung, Yanyin, Joan... Would I have gotten to know all the cute mentees? Would I have be made Ex-co?
Life is a endless flow of what ifs. How much you get out of life is a reflection of what you make the most out of it.
Some interesting points of quotes to ponder..
"My fate cannot be mastered; it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the captain of my soul; I am only its noisiest passenger."
-Aldous Huxley
"If you can't change your fate, change your attitude."
-Charles Revson
"What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate."
-Donald Trump
"There is but one philosophy and its name is fortitude! To bear is to conquer our fate."
-Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Actions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny.
-Harry S. Truman

Happy~
Lalalal~ I'm feeling all cheery and chirpy now cos I just spent ten dollars of my allowance on canned food. Why? Tt's cos my sch is doing some service learning thingy whereby we help people by doing them a service. Anyway, they were calling for canned food donations cos apparently only 9 cans have been donated by students so far. Tt's so sad.. but considering most of the students go to sch by bus.. It's insane to carry like, five cans in your bag..
So anyway, I didn't bring any today cos I forgot all about it. I remembered this time!(of cos, it helped tt someone msged me to bring canned food.. not sure who.. yanyin? renita? one of the students who's doing the canned food donation thingy.. ) So I went to NTUC at like 9.15pm, worried tt it was closing.. but sheesh.. there were still people browsing the aisles.. Wandered the aisles, frantically searching for the canned food section.. When I found it, the next thing was, "What do I buy?" hahaha.. My sch needs abt 600 cans so i decided to buy small cans... No1, easier to pack, No2, fits my budget more. So I picked out 4 cans of mushrooms and 4 cans of condensed milk.. I mean, tt's what people usually buy for donations rite? I was thinking of getting rice, but they said canned food.. so rice is out.. It's probably out of my budget range anywae.. I wanted to get luncheon meat but i didn't noe how to check the expiring date.. The print was so blurry and with the layer of dust on the top of the can, I wasn't sure if it was wise to buy tt.. Thought of canned sausages next but one can was like *gasp* $3! Hahaha.. So in the end, I got 3 cans of baked beans.
Came home, dug around in the cupboard for a few cans of campbell soup and a few cans of fruit. But, the plastic bag in the my mum's car makes me happiest the most! Call me childish, call me immature, but if I'm happy helping others, let me be. Generousity should come from the heart. That's also one reason why i don't like the NKF performances tt much, besides the fact that the stunts are always too dangerous. If people want to give, they will, no matter how difficult the times are.
As for me, I give because I can.

Call me childish, call me immature, but if I'm happy helping others, let me be. Generousity should come from the heart. That's also one reason why i don't like the NKF performances tt much, besides the fact that the stunts are always too dangerous. If people want to give, they will, no matter how difficult the times are.
As for me, I give because I can.

Blogging
Lalalal... I can't be bothered with the stoopid midi thing.. I just can't get it to show.. plus midis sound weird.. and i can't get hold of songs.. so plans for a nicer blog will have to be put on hold for now. Blogging takes up too much time.. Since I've began this 'project', I've spent more than 12 hrs on it.. and considering only 3 days has passed.. tt's probably a great waste of 12 hrs.. with 5 weeks to prelims.. tt's valuable time that has gone poof!
So anyway.. nothing much happened in sch today.. Praeman was absent so first period was free... spent the next two periods in lab drawing my oh-so-beautiful lillium flower bud and used up like half an eraser to fake my drawing... Math was ok.. which reminds me tt I ahve tut 33 and njc paper to do.. Chem was ok.. need to bring eletrolysis notes tmw and once again, the teachers have kindly reminded us that prelims are drawing near.. GP was pretty slack cos it's only one period long.. Math NYJC paper was ok.. Nep, Engz and I were a bit siao! Aiyohz.. Engz! Who ask u to go and kope your nephew's pen... when u click the pen, the hands on the dinosaur move up and down.. It's so cute and funny.. ahahha.. Look at Engz and u'll laugh already... Came home, wasted time online.. fell asleep.. Now online again.. better go and do my hw now.. I have a future to think of.. Hahahah

Fiction for the literary starved
Okok.. Most people whom I've 'asked' to come and read my blog have exclaimed over how long my entrys are.. Very long meh? hahaha.. ok watz.. But anyway, let me give you a brief introduction into my reading habits.
I read:
I read:
- Trashy romances
They're wat i call brainless books cos u basically dun need a brain to figure out the eventual plot. Then why read this type of books then? JC life is too exhausting to immerse myself in a thriller or some autobiography during school term but I need fiction. Life is meaningless without fiction and imagination. With no dashing Prince Charmings in sight, my trashy romances keep me occupied.
- fanfiction
Ok, for the uninitiated, fanfiction = fan + fiction. It's basically fiction written by fans of something. It could be of a book series like 'Harry Potter' or an anime like 'Prince of Tennis' of 'Naruto' or even of a television series like 'Buffy the vampire slayer'. All fanfiction requires is a willingness to put your imagination into words.
When I'm in a mood for a nice long read, I'll go the the section for the number of words in a story and click >5000 and I read stories with a minimum of 5000 words. Shocking! There are actually people who write fics that are so long? Yesh, my dear darlings, but of course you can find shorter fics as well. However, to find brilliant fics with great plot development, those with more words are usually better. I mean, a novel by... John Grisham, is more than 5000 words too watz.. Well, here are some recommendations of fics if you have the time or the inclination to read. These are some of my favourite stories and don't worry about the length of it.
Domina Rising by Arachne's Child (Chapters: 27 - Words: 104359 )
This is Harry Potter fanfiction. It's Snape/OC (original character) How do I describe this? It's bloody brilliant! Oh yeah, kiddies, this fic is rated R by the way. Consider yourself warned.
Blood Tithes by Gwendolyn M. Warlow (Chapters: 45 - Words: 90548 )
HP fanfiction again. This is a slash/yaoi fic. If you don't noe what this means, you might not want to go there. I might traumatise you for life.. Kidding! Let's just say that it's an interesting way to make Draco Malfoy dependent on Ron Weasley. [R-rated]
Hajime and Tokio by Angrybee (Chapters: 24 - Words: 284914 )
My husband!! Hahaha.. Saitou Hajime and Tokio from Rurouni Kenshin! Yesh, I noe, Tokio is only mentioned once in the whole 20 something books but the fic is a development of their relationship. See, all you need is imagination. [R-rated]
Life Studies by Davesmom (Chapters: 1 - Words: 4545 )
HP slash fiction. It's between.... *gasp* Colin and Blaise. hahah.. See.. authors can make insignificant characters significant. This fic is a side story from the author's Draco/Ginny fic 'The Weasel and the Kneazle '. [R-rated]
Unforgiven by LadyRhiyana (Chapters: 23 - Words: 69600 )
Another fantastic fic. This is one story that had me holding on my breath as i read the story. Certain sections had me reading it aloud as the author was wonderful in her portrayal of the characters. I've never loved Draco Malfoy as much in another fic before. This author's stories are brilliant but I'm a Draco/Ginny shipper so I like this story the best. [PG-13]
Rites of Spring by Davesmom (Chapters: 1 - Words: 4421 )
This is an 'oh-so-cute' story between Draco and Ginny. Read it for yourself. [PG]
Hmm... now you noe why I spend so much time online. All the time is spent on sourcing the net for good fiction and reading it. Hahah.. Enjoy the fics.
Blogging
I'm tired and aching from sitting in my computer chair for 4 hrs to work on my blog and pissed at my computer that it keeps acting up. Yanoe wat? This blogging thing isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's brain wrecking for a html code idiot like me. So, I'm going to quit this blogging thing. Good riddance, blog! Byebye!
For tonight anyway~ *grinz*

Than Htike came to Singapore on 6th July
After dling the softwares, repeated scratching of my head and numerous questions marks popping out ard my head, I made it! I finally figured out how to upload the photos.. Sheesh.. Now, why didn't i think of goint to hello help earlier.. hahaha..
Photos are when I met than htike on 6th July at swensens. I was like stunned when i saw him. Oh manz! He looks so different now! I wouldn't know tt he was my pri sch mate if I walked passed him in Orchard.. Now, I'll know lahz, but tt's different. Cal looks the same, I see him all the time.. hahah.. Whenever Amanda and I go out, we will somehow bump into him when he's on hols.. Meeting Junyi was hilarious. He was walking towards me and I found him vaguely familar. The same goes for him but we weren't sure whether it was the correct person or not. I mean, quite paiseh if u apporach the wrong person rite? Then we stopped next to each other and he was like, "Jasmine?" Hahah.. so i turned to him and said, "Junyi." That was so amusing.. Then we all went to Swensens.. ate, talk and reminisced abt pri sch. Amanda and Junyi started "quarrelling" and kept calling each other Satan.. aiyohz.. those two ahz? Enemies in their past lives ahz? Then we were talking to Than Htike(honestly, it's kinda odd calling him than htike when he doesn't look like than htike.. Pierre seems to suit him more now). Oh yeah, he gave Amanda the things she asked him to buy at Animate FOC lohz.. So generous rite? Nice fella but better be careful you don't get cheated hor.. Others out there may not be as nice as us. Well, when we may hols at the end of this yr or next yr, Amanda and I will go visit Cal and Than Htike in Australia! Hopefully anyway, meanwhile, I shall continue saving money... haha..

HALF DAY today!!
Ok.... Let's see... This shall be the first entry in my blog so what shall I say? I'm not angsty like some people, not perverts like others, not as innocent as some may think, not as evil as others may perceive. So.. Let's start off with a summary of my day..
There's half day today!!!! Yeah!! Although I found out about this half day thing(due to cricket getting first) on wed but hey, a half day's a half day so i can enjoy myself!! Haha..
There's was an announcement that we were supposed to go to the library to collect our PW files so I went with Wan Jing and the rest of the groups in my class to get it. To my horror/surprise/shock(!), our PW file is now placed on a library shelf as a reference file for PW!! *gasp* Hahaha.. It's kinda cool acutally. I mean like, "Wah, zai! Our project work so gd ahz?" then after that my next thought was tt "Oh no! Then the J1s will see the crap tt I came up with and all the last minute rush work!!" Hahah.. Two files from my class is used as reference files so all right!! After all, SA had 36 band 1s for PW, four of which were from my class. *grinz*
After sch, I went out with Gloria and Nep to Clementi to eat porridge.. Food was ok, more fun to eat with the you tiao but the liver in the porridge was gross.. next time, I shall do without it.. It's like so freaking thick! *gag*
Then I met Justin(my jiejie) at Clementi Macs to go to the Bras Basah's popular to look for the Bio option book. Muahahha.. I got Justin to buy a chocolate voucher!! Alright!! Now, I have four more to sell! One is going to be sold to my mum's fren, one(hopefully) to my sister's bf (I mean, he can like, spend it on her rite? See.. I'm so thoughtful!) *grinz*, I'll buy one myself.. so tt leaves.. one more!! heh heh.. hmm.. who shall tt go to? Who's my next victim? *evil laughter* Then Justin and I walked ard Suntec and he kept making me diss pple(one person actually)... Cham lahz.. I'm so evil too.. keep feeding justin information and photos.. hahah.. I should feel SOOOO guilty really, except I don't.. CONSCIENCE??!?!? come out come out wherever you are!!! Justin, you devil incarnate!! What have you done with me!! hahah..
Walk..walk.. walk... bored so I went to buy royce chocolate for my sister.. Poor dear got stung by a bee this morning.. buy chocolate for her and comfort her lohz.. plus, I can eat it too! Haha.. I'm currently at a stage whereby my sister and I are friends and I love to spoil her (esp if I have spare cash..). So Justin and I were trying out the chocolate and the chocolate is really rich and good although you have to be rich to buy tt chocolate too but hey, not everyday buy waatzz... So cool lohz! They packed it with dry ice to keep it cool for 5 hrs! and then you have to keep it in the fridge.. It's wrapped in some shiny silver packaging to keep out the heat.. radiation and all tt.. I think they offer free wrapping too.. zai rite? oh cos.. $12 sumthing for a box of chocolate, they better offer the best service! hahah..
Aiyohz.. then Justin and I dunnoe how to go home.. (me actually, I dragged Justin to pei wo.. hahah.. using the excuse tt my 'jiejie' must look after me.. hehheh).. Walk, walk, walk.. walk all the way to national library from Suntec.. sheesh huh? hahah.. I'm stoopid watz.. dun take bus type.. nearest mrt is orchard... ask me to take mrt from cityhall to orchard, waste my time ahzz... just find the bus stop to take my straight bus home lahz!! Met two of my sister's friends today. It's weird manz.. and most of the time, they are the ones who recognise me and I'm like, oh hi.. hahah.. they'll probably bring up the argument tt I look like my sister.. which the whole world with the exception of my sister and I, thinks so as well... Hiaz...
Got home and decided tt i was bored so i began blogging.. Tata~ This is the beginning of my blog and it's all about me and wat I do, and the people in my life. If anyone needs to have a good laugh, you're welcome to read my blog and tag.. (As soon as I figure out how to work this whole blog thingy)
