I am having a back-log. I wanna blog about what I have been doing for the past few days but I just can't get down to doing it. I am just lazy to say it all out. But they have been good memories.
-----------
I have been spending my time helping friends do up their blog. Esp Charissa whose blog seriously had lots of html problems! So, we have been editing the codes for the past 2-3 days and finally, it's done!! =)
And I kept my promise to Mel and did her blog for her also.
And influenced Harris and You Han to get a blogspot blog.
It has been fun searching for blog skins. But I had no intention of changing my blogskin coz i just changed it not long ago. However, after working on Char's blog for the past few days make me want to change mine now. Hehe! Will do that when I have the time and feel like it.
I even searched for some nice templates for MJChoir blog. But as the administrators said they would edit it themselves, I didnt go further persuading them to use it.
It's ok! It was rather cool looking for it! =)

Shall blog about 23 March 2006 (afternoon)
It was a great day out with the 'weird' family and KXFZs, that means spending 9 hours with LC and at Marina Square!!
We watched V for Vendetta! It's a very good show with lots of things to learn from like ideologies, media, censorship etc...It was so GP! Haha!
Having Sarah around is the best thing on earth! She is so knowledgable about history stuff! After the movie, we bombarded her with questions. Even over lunch! She is a very nice person to speak to!
Lunch was at Pizza Hut after half an hour of deliberation and walking around. We finally plonked ourselves into the comfortable seats of Pizza Hut and had Sarah to answer all our qns about the show. I learnt...
On the agenda, we were suppose to go bowling. But after the heavy meal (which ended at 430pm), we didnt have the mood to. So we went window shopping and photo taking in toilets! haha! It's a must do whenever we go out as a group coz we arent able to get a group photo without troubling anyone. Using the mirrors in the toilets are the best thing! =)
Azzimah and Dianne left first after lunch while Sarah, Shaz, You Han left at 6pm. LC and I continued to window shop while waiting for zw and mel to come.
We met zw and mel at about 7+pm and went to Macs to sit down. The macs in marina has a cafe (McCafe). So, to celebrate the 2 march gals bdae, we bought them a brownie each and sang a bdae song for them. They opened the presents and yupz!! they love it! Am i glad they were!! =)
We had a very nice heart to heart chat with one another, about the daily lives of one another, our love life, our r/s with others, our major events that are coming up and other matters! It was great meeting up with one another again!! I love KXFZs!
I slept at 330am coz i was trying to solve char's blog problem.

24 March 2006
Today, almost all the teachers who saw us spoke to us like they were bringing their team for a competition. Mr Chen spoke like we were going to play a soccer match. Ms Loh said we have to work hand in hand with each other, encourage one another and make sure no one falls behind. She spoke like she was going for a floorball match. Mrs Seng...nth ba...just that we finished watched the horrendous 'Hotel Rwanda' which showed the genocide of people. Hutus and Tutsis. I hated that show coz of the violence but love the heartwarming scenes in it. Haiz...the world is such.
Went to Revenue House (Novena) for IRAS E-filing training with Azzimah, Sarah and You Han. It was a long and tiring session for me coz i slept at an unearthly hour last night. The training started punctually at 4pm. But people just strolled in at 435pm and said loudly, 'Sorry!' and the trainer had to repeat some stuff. I was pek chek!! Sian lah...I was already falling off to sleep esp when the seats were cushioned! Haha!
Going to do a session tmr and I will get 5 hours of CIP! =) I think its going to be fun! I hope...
----------------------
Along the way to Novena, I tried sleeping. Coz i know that if i didn't catch a few winks, i was going to faint along the way. So, I tried..
After that, when going home, I also tried sleeping. Tried that was...
My mind was seriously preoccupied. Each time I closed my eyes, an image will appear. It's blurred but I seem to have seen it somewhere...in my dreams. They were good events and I thought it was real. I didn't want to think too much coz i was afraid i would sink in further into the imagination and dream. It's hurting to realise that everything you dreamt of was just dream and it would probably not happen in reality.
Why??
-----------------
25 March 2006
Today is the best day of Pool I ever had!! I played with the 3 pros and I won all of them in at least 1-2 games with my own abilities! And no, they didn't lose coz they pocketed the black ball into the wrong pocket. Hehe! Da Hong was super not on form today! Jwen still ok and Rui Hong my shifu even considered giving me up coz he was worse than me today! At the CC, YC said that its probably coz of beginners luck, even though its been 6 mths since I started playing. Hehe! I played 8 ball games and tried 9 ball games too!! Pool is fun!!
DH, RH, YH, Jwen and myself walked very fast and ran for the bus coz we mayb late for practice with consort at siglap sth cc for the sco performance thing. Aiya..we still had lots of time even if we didnt run for the bus. But it's better to be early than late. DuH.
Practice with consort was ok. we are fast learners taht we ended even before 6pm! And there isn't practice tmr that means i could go for the IRAS cip thing. =)
----------------------
I found out many things about myself and other people. We have matured and situations are no longer in our favour. Keep the positive thougts open and everything will take place as nature takes its course. It's not healthy to keep pondering on things that may or may not happen. let nature take its course ba.
Got to go le...very sleepy. I don't want to fall asleep during sevice later!! :)

22 March 2006
End of Block Test!! Yeah!!
However, I don't think I did well. Well, I wrote rubbish for Geography and Economics and I feel like a total stupid person for Mathematics. I think GP is the only one that I felt good while doing the paper. It's my own fault for not having study hard enough. But seriously, I spent most of my holiday time at home! I didn't go out to play! I didn't go shopping (besides at Whitesands for grocery). I just wasn't able to absorb. Haiz...
Anyways, I am not going to think about it till when I get the results back. I should start polishing up my maths in the meantime.
And the school should do something about the aircon temperature. I am not complaining about the aircon because I think the aircon is good! However, I feel like I am in a big freezer or a cold room where the temperature is below 18 degress C??
Thanks to all who have been with me and encouraging me all the way throughout this block test!! Especially the "weird" family -- Azzimah, Lee Chen, Dianne, Sarah, Shazana. And of coz my classmates esp Shuzzie who keeps tagging!! And to my seniors who msg and call and tagged!! you know who you are!! and to my KXFZ sisters!! And to kor who is ever so busy but yet take time to talk to me. And to Dinah who is always there for me! And my family too!! The list just goes on... =)
-------------
Anyways, after the Maths paper, the "weird" family went to TM KFC for lunch! It was a long lunch because we digressed into many conversation topics! It is just so good talking to them! We crack jokes, we suan each other, we talk about intellectual stuff!! Argh...it's just great!! hehe!
Went to TM and CS after that with LC and Azzimah. We had a mission at hand. Haha! Azzimah left us shortly after when she realised that we would be walking up and down the same place for the rest of the day.
True, true...
LC and I walked the whole of CS 2 times. And more than 5 times at TM. We entered a shop more than once hoping to find something that we are looking for and giving each shop more than one chance. But no...we ended up only buying 2 items! Half the time we were looking at handphones. And half the time thinking of where to go. It felt like aimless walking where we go up and down the escalator so many times.
We went to Swensens for an ice-cream treat after the shopping event at 5pm. LC had Gold Rush and I had a merri-mint. It was "shuang"!! We chatted about the sec sch days and about people and ah...many things la!! I just had a great time with her!!
Thanks so much Zhen! Nothing beats going out with you!! Love you!
That was dinner (ice-cream)! well, didn't feel very hungry. Went to Elias Mall to develop some photos and realised that it didn't offer good services as they had to print at least 16! And i couldn't choose the pictures! Such lousy service. I called Juliana (disrupting her studying for her Chemistry paper) to ask here where else has such services and realised White Sands also has. So i took a 10 min walk to White sands and waited for half and hour for the couple in front of me to finish their printing. The aunty of the shop told me that they have 400+ photos to choose and develop and they are going to take a long time. She, being very nice, helped me to download it straight into her computer!! Thanks lots aunty!! And when I left, the couple were still quarrelling about which photo to develop. They should have decided at home before coming here lah...haha!!
----------------
23 March 2006 (morning)
And so, here I am blogging about yesterday. I am running late. Have to go to Whitesands to collect the photos and go down to City Hall by 1145 am to meet the 'weird' family and You Han. We have a very packed agenda today!! Going to watch 'V for Vandetta' at Marina Square and then going for lunch (not exactly on the agenda) before going for bowling!! Whee!! Haven't bowled for a long time!
LC and I are meeting Ziwei and Mel in the night for dinner and a bit catchup with each other!! Mich can't make it...sadly. I miss the KXFZs!!
kk...gtg!! Take cares everyone! and especially kor, i am so proud of you for making your dream come true!! you worked for it! Take cares in Australia!! =)

Things are so unpredictable.
After reading someone's blog confirmed my thoughts and i wish them the best! They look like a great couple! =)
Today's Bible study was great! I loved the discussions and the views poured out by everyone. This class is a very lively and understanding class! Especially when there are brothers and sisters in Christ like Ruth, Daisy, Phebe, Leon, Kareen, Rui Qi, Eunice, Benjamin, Kelvin and Tim who are few years my senior and have seen and experienced things that i am going through now. And where there are people of my age like Dinah and Lawrence whom i am better able to speak to. and of coz the senior in age like Yong Yaw, Damien, (Teachers) --Vincent, Paul and Amos. Really thankful for this class coz i really love it here!! =)
(hope i didnt miss anyone out.)
Some disappointment for me too anyways. I tried to bring someone for church service today. However, things don't always go your way. Give me a chance can??

And talking to LC yest was great! even though half the time we were discussing geog. but looks like there is someone out there who has the same sentiments as i do! it's not a smart move, but at a time like this, where time is really not on our side, it's a choice to make and a risk to take. It's not a sensible thing. the opportunity cost of studying for this block test has been really great and major. and coz of this, i can sense many unhappiness in people. I know there are some who are weird enough to love studying. haiz...

I shall reply the tags here instead. too lazy to tag on the tagboard. hehe!
to yoz: thanks. you jia you too!
to shuzzie: haha! screw it together manz! see ya on mon! =)
to p: manz..i didn't know you read my blog too!! haha! you better enjoy the remaining days of your holidays! once you start sch, you would stress le! take cares and see ya next wk! =)
to mel: hey gal! sorry i made you irritated at KXFZ blog. and really sorry that i couldn't take time off this hols to meet up with you all! I feel really sad by that...and now that our meeting maybe on hold too...really wonder when can i meet you all! btw...i tried the uzap thing, it works great on the tummy but not sure of the results of the other parts. its you can go to the OSIM shops and try. i am sure they will let you try it out.

Going for The Vocal Consort concert tonight. so that leaves me with another 5+hours to study whatever i can for econs. so screwed. haha! may it be a wonderful concert tonight!

I can't get started on Economics!
I haven't even completed Geography.
I am not confident of doing the Mathematics paper on Wednesday because I haven't memorised the formulae.
I am seeing myself in the reds for this block test.
I am so dead.
I know, I shouldn't be complaining here and should actually be using the time to do my studying. But as mentioned earlier, I can't get started!
I am tired, exhausted, sick of studying. but that's just my vocation.
I spoke to Ziwei this morning and feel that I have wasted this holiday studying because I didnt absorb much and spent my time at home instead of catching up with my friends whom i haven't been in contact for long. And it's a good time to meet up this week since we are all having our holiday.
On the other hand, I am glad that I have block test to study for as I think I would be wasting my time doing other nonsense instead of study.
However, studying during the holidays isn't something that I love to do and want to do.
I just want to slack!
Is this Singapore's idea of a holiday where you catch up with all the undone work and clear the back log?? This has been my holiday routine for the past 11 years of studying.

Oops...I forgot to say something which I was thinking about just now.
I watched "mei li bai fen bai" (taiwanese variety show) just now. They brought up that yesterday was "White Valentines Day" originated from Japan. What's that??
They explained that it's the day where by the girl or the guy reciprocates the love to their partners and return a gift that the partner gave on 14 Feb.
Eg. A guy gives a gal a box of chocolates on Feb 14. March 14, the gal gives that guy a present if she wants to continue or want to be his partner.
That's suppose to be the main gist of it. It became commercialised and so, it was suppose to be a day that everyone returns those who gave them a present on Feb 14 Valentines Day.
I will go bankrupt if I did return the presents manz...I am so lovable!! Hehe!! Just joking!!
Just another day for people to earn money? Think about it.

I really didn't want to blog today. However, I am burnt out today already! Been studying since 10 am all the way till 7pm. (ok, I did break sometimes, munching etc. hehe! And singing out load coz I had the house to myself, besides frodo and murphy. It was peace and quiet. hehe!)
And so, it was maths in the morning from 10am to 1pm. And started geography after that. For so many hours, I didn't even complete my geog lect 1 notes. And it's only 12 pages!! I am going to die for the rest of the 6 chapters and plus i still have urban notes which is 11 lectures. And there is econs to study for!! Argh!! Thank goodness GP is over.
kk..I am rambling already. I just want to type but i have to idea what to type. Many random thoughts are in my head and it's not aiding me in my studies!! It's the exam blues again. And it's only BLOCK TEST!! What's going to happen for A levels ...
And so, while my classmates are in Kota Tinggi, I am here studying the notes instead of getting first hand information. No, I am not regretting. Hehe!! coz i am too lazy to pack.

kor yu-an (my uncle) is such a sweetie! He bought a box of sakae sushi ($30) back for Epoh (his mum) and my dinner! And he even bought the U-zap for my grandaunt ($200+). Yah, but my grandaunt complained coz those were expensive stuff and she feels the pinch for him. I just ate the dinner quietly and enjoyed the sushi. Aiya, she should just enjoy the stuff he buys for her. He should know how he is spending his money mah! Haha!! They are weird...

GP block test today and it was seriously...erm...I have no idea. I felt quite good while doing both papers but you know, grades always seem the opposite of how you feel for the paper.
Well, will be spending the next few days chionging Econs, Geog and Maths (in order of unlikeness that i will pass the paper). Haiz... I still don't feel the sense of urgency yet.
Spoke to many people regarding the choice of course in Uni and ya, it came to the same conclusion = study hard now and get the A's for A levels. A bit far-fetched but is possible. And I want to get the 3 A's!! haha!! ( i just told a lie...sian)
That brings me to a joke that Li Ping gave us in class last week.
Prove the identity that "study = fail", given the assumptions that "no study = fail" and "study = no fail".
It's a cool one and we "fainted" after seeing the solution. hehe!!
Agenda for tmr: Jogging with Shaz in the morning and Choir at 9am. Lunch after that and comm meeting at 3pm. Looks like I am not going to get any studying done. Haha!!

At 3 pm, I quarrelled with my mom when i got into the house all because she heard that I was interested in doing psychology in NUS.
An hour later, I was standing at the staircase while she was standing downstairs and we talked about what courses that I should pursue in the Uni.
-------------
The tour to NUS open house was great! It was a very happening open house! I have my mind set on going to NUS and maybe even staying at the hostel (Temasek Hall??) It's just that I have no idea what course to take. Anyone can help?? Haiz...
-----
We finished viewing the courses at SMU quite fast. There weren't many things that we were interested in. The dances by the CCA groups were great! Very entertaining. However, it wasn't as happening as NUS. I doubt SMU would be my choice.

I gave the campfire a miss. Instead, went dinner at whitesands with gracelyn, dh, rh and ber. After which we went to popular and then to macs to study. I think studying at macs is a nice thing. It brought back memories of LC and I studying at macs or bk for our o levels every now and then. Haiz... I am going to be so dead for block test.

I just realised that my blog pic cannot be seen! The image isn't there anymore! I will look for another blog skin soon once i have the time... When I have the time that is...
I stayed in school till 9+pm for the past 2 nights! And I am not regretting coz it was painting of the banner for our upcoming concert! It was fun chitchatting and suaning rui hong while we painted the banner. Simply contented with the banner though I would have wanted to touch it up if not for the lack of time. Thanks to Ber for coming up with the design!!
It's the CCA recruitment later and we are going to confirm our next batch of choristers for MJChoir!! They would be the pillars and the year 2s who are going in for next year's SYF! I just hope they will be an enthusiastic lot!
Well, I am recovering. Thanks to all for their concerns!!
What I need most now is a bigger brain to store more stuff. It's less than 2 weeks to block test and I haven't studied. And I am probably going to fail this morning's Geog test. I tried to study earlier last week and so that I wouldn't have had to stay up last night to study. Haiz...I didn't after being sick last few days. So, I still went in for the test with an empty mind and loads of "cigarettes".
I can't fail block test!!! NO!!!!
kk...I shall stop whining and go study...Econs TYS MCQ to be done by tmr!! Argh! There's a lot of studying to do!!!

No no...I am still the good gal you know! Haha!
I am going to see the doctor later. Apparently, the clinic will open at 8.30 am but the doctor will not come in till 9+am. So yupz, I have another hour to rot. And how come I am not sleeping while I can sleep in? Haiz.. my throat has been itching and coz of that, it is now pain. It was irritating. I couldn't sleep. So got up instead.
And so, I am going to see the doctor coz of the irritation in my throat and prevent it from getting inflamed. I can't afford to fall sick. I still have to study for block test.
Will be going to school after seeing the doctor, though I think the doctor will most probably give me an MC today. I can't miss lessons.

Sian lah...
Today is a school declared holiday coz MJC did well for 2005 A levels. And yet, I have to be sick today.
On one hand, I can't go out with Azzimah, LC, Shaz and Dianne. They are going to the career fair at Suntec and at the same time compensate Azzimah for being unable to spend a nice bdae with her yest. All thanks to some mis-assumptions ( i dont think there's such a word.) on whether her bdae was yest or today. many of us thought it was 3rd march. hehe!! Anyways, we celebrated for her at Swensens' yest. hehe!!
On the other hand, I can't go out with the choir people. Sianz lah...
So i am stuck at home, aching all over, feeling feverish and trying to do some stuff. However, I just can't seem to concentrate. I think it's going to be another wasted day. Haiz...
Just like wei wei, I encountered some inconsiderate people yest!
On the way to whitesands, abt 6pm, the bus that we took was packed with people. some sec school boys were standing at the front door. At a stop, a pregnant lady wanted to get off the bus from the front (she was seated in front and the back was too far and packed for her to exit from). She had to squeeze her way out. When she alighted, the boys said, " so fat still want to squeeze out". I just said loudly, "She is pregnant and some people don't want to move away from the door to let her out!" They kept quiet after that.
How rude and inconsiderate some people can get?? I think CME lessons don't work at all...

I am going to blog fast today!! got econs case study to do! haiz...
just want to share something...
Venue: BK at Tampines
Time: 8+pm
I just poured some fries onto gracelyn's tray while she wasn't looking.
Gracelyn: Oh! where did the fries come from? Thank you God! (Looks at the fries and looks up with hands clutched together)
I stood up and asked Gracelyn to look up. I said: "You are welcome."
Charissa, Eugenia, Michelle, Bernice and Gracelyn started laughing their heads off!
After a while, gracelyn asked, "what were you all laughing about ah??"
We enacted the scene.
This time, we showed the guys and bernice recorded some parts down. But it wasn't as real as before. Still funny though!! =D
Btw...the funny part wasn't really much about gracelyn not understanding what was going on. Rather it was about thanking God for the extra fries and me saying "you are welcome". Go figure.
---------------------
Our choir banner is on it's way up!! Yippee!! Really appreciate the help from the juniors. It's a pity they aint staying. I am beginning to love them!! Urg...
And i realised that in another 2-3 mths time, we would be stepping down already! There won't be choir practices for me already! I don't want time to pass and i don't want to grow old!! Hahah!!

I am satisfied with my chinese result and am not going to retake! B3

To my dear seniors, I am here if you need someone to talk to. Seriously. I know I can't help much. But i just want ya guys to know that it aint the end of the road. Plenty of opportunites await you and it's probably something that God has in plan for you. Think positively kk?? Love ya people! =D
