mario madness

back to childhood.

Been immersing myself in Super Mario lately. It sounds totally childish but i kinda get a kick out of it. haha and it's hilarious because after a week of attempts, i am STILL unable to clear stage 3 la.it's super irritating when the people around you exclaim in surprise when u tell them u are STILL at stage 2...even gabriel is at stage 4 le la! -GRRRRR-

i shall conquer stage 3! -determined-

Went for dinner on friday with mr kwek, mr lee, weiting, yao, chieling, mavis, eugenia, xinyi at the Singapore Recreational Yacht Club. Mr Kwek treated us to a sumptious dinner of lobster,satay,seafood and the likes of it. YUMMY.

Spent much of the time ha-laing with mr lee. my gawd, i totally adore mr lee. he kept suan-ing me cox i was playing Super Mario (amongst other games..hehe) in tutorial. and when i went up to him for my turn of consultation, i suddenly blurted out, "eh! help me Pause the game leh!" he was like totally stunned la proclaimed that i was there next to him but my heart is at my game..he even threatened to lower my grades! lol but he's lovely.

and apparently no one knew how to pause the game i was playing - Hidden Expedition. Yu fung had to cross over to my seat and in the end..Jess played and cleared the first level for me! -laughs-

but lee tong king is cute la although he aint as good looking as my dearest danny yeo but is oh-so-ke-ai antics just makes me gushed over him. -swoons-
i love lee tong king.period.
he's the KING of my heart! =)

and it's funny how some people have absolutely ZILCH idea on how to be tactful.
you cant blame us for stereotyping you
because your words are poison
dont use joke as a reason
you are above 5 years old
you should jolly well know the power of words
so please for Christ sake
be R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-L-E.

pissed

Look, if we are friends..
we are supposed to be supportive of each other
we are supposed to be honest with each other
we are supposed to be FRIENDS without boundaries.

so why do some people love to stick to their boundaries?
no wonder there is a need the module "Conformity" in Soc.Psyc.
bloody hell.

i hate people who cry wolf.
and i cant stand it when you keep harping on some useless and mindless stuff.
and since you cant stand my brutality
i apologise but
you gotta look at the world.
there are limits
and we are both reaching ours.






to think i could return to blogosphere in peace but it was pure wishful thinking.

and so i was sick...

i am hardworking cox i still turned up for school today despite having a 2 days MC..

After 5 agonising weeks of non-stop coughing and sneezing, i decided to make a visit down my friendly neighbourhood GP. my oh my, what a sight behold me. there was this uber long queue and i nearly died while waiting for my turn.
the doctor checked my nostrils, lungs and breathing capacity and found no abnormalities.

doc: hmmm..everything is normal leh.
me: erm ya but i have been like this for the past few weeks...
doc: *thinks for a moment* i think it is probably due to the weather, you are having a mild asthma attack.
me: *gives her a what look* so i am asthmatic now?
doc: yes.
me: but i have NO history of asthma....!

and she went on to teach me how to use the inhaler. i am supposed to like avoid dust(like how?)and construction places until my condition gets better. and the bill was a whopping $74, no thanks to the 2 inhalers which is fundamental for my life..at the moment. -screams- If i had known earlier, i wouldnt have waited so long to go visit a GP..the pills prescribed by the polyclinic docs were useless and it still caused me $14 bucks la.

see la, bo dai bo ji become got dai ji.
wah lau.

moral of the story: NEVER wait till you are nearly diagnosed with TB to visit the doctor and GPs are eager to suck you dry. -joking-

little shop of horrors

Dim Sum loving and t02..FEED ME!


chanel's not in our budget but we can always afford a picture!

Went to watch the musical, Little Shop of Horrors today at the Victoria theatre. it was uber nice but lacklustre as compared to Forbidden City but that's another story altogether.

it was lovely hanging out with my lovely classmates even though i was hit by a sudden cough bug. started coughing since lunch where i met marc, russel greg and their classmates for lunch at the 7 mile market next to pei hwa. lunch was a riot but class outing was chaos. -wink-

been online shopping-ed lately. detrimental for my health and not to say my never-healthy bank account. -laughs- i felt like a rich tai tai for a moment yesterday where i went to sistic to buy the LSOH tickets. 13 x $40 = $520 and i paid it all in cold hard CASH. feared for my life until i handled the wad of 50s n 10s to the counter.

next up will be another play at chinatown on sat 11/07 and another play at MOX cafe n bar on sun..supporting our beloved danny yeo as always!

The Departed

the faithful Departed


one of my all time favourite movie, the saviour of hk movie industry


Whoopee.
Went to watch "The Departed" yesterday with mei, yao and jess.
just one word to describe the movie: s-u-p-e-r-b
watch it and get sunk into the deep abyss of mafia, gangland fighting, violence and brutality.
-smacks lips-

okay, i'm in a super "sick" mood now. mafia movie overdrive. hiak hiak.
gonna pop by the salon for a hair revival, may i look good!
-cross fingers-

voiceless

Question of the day: Why are you STILL unattached? -eddie-

Had dinner with eddie and vern at sakae@ms and dessert at swensens. the ever sweet bro of mine, eddie, treated us to the above both even thoug we both mercilessly grilled him about he and his new found "porcupine".

halfway through our dessert(vern ran out to find a friend,traumatising the customers at swensens with her heaving bosom and endless laughter), di asked THE question..

eddie:Why are you still unattached?

me: -stares at him and chuckled-

eddie: (looks at me cheekily) okay, so how many have you rejected?

me: incredulous look

how many have i rejected?, you might as well ask me why is the world round.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Emo-ness popped by for a visit and it was not helping that i sounded like a frog today. no thanks to my lack of voice prolly due to the haze and my field of work straining it.

drama tutorial was insightful. it was as though every anecdote and phrase ah liang shared was targeted at me, meant for me. emo overwhelmed me for the rest of the lecture. even yao n jess sensed the peculiar vibe in me.

there are alot of things i want to express out but it just remain stuck in my throat like an irritating phlegm and snowballs.
the kind of feeling where mere words can never explain.

i just wished i wasnt that silly.

sweeps the dust off

*blows off the dust*

miracle, i'm reviving my blog once again. my hiatus came and went and i bet it irked the many who comes to my blog and sees the date being a stagnant god-knows-when. -shrugs- sor-ray la.

the new school term has started and i aim to do well this time round. I shall not hug the buddha's leg ever so often and let my nights turn to days. not sure if this prophecy will come true but i am keeping my fingers crossed. a girl needs some hope in her life, eh? -smiles-

Working at sentosa is ever so fulfiling. i love the whole vibe of it, not to mention the numbers that appear on the atm machine twice a month. i dont wish to be a slave to money but working is addictive. once u start, u cant stop. -shrugs-

And i sense the warning signals
stay away from me
before i stray too far
and fall too deep

the Big Man up there is ridiculously gracious and patient with me.
it is this grace that pricks me.

leave me alone

The 2 months holiday flew by in a flash. Without my habitual fetish of crossing out dates on my calendar, i would not have realised that i am left with only less than 2 weeks till the new semester come and devour me.

I remembered planning to clean my room, cupboards, pick up keyboard/new language, read some classics and yada yada. but all came to a naught. I did none of those but still, i felt i spent my holidays pretty worthwhile. I met up with friends and got myself a job. I guess it is through such life's unexpected knowings that one learns how to handle life.

I am still in the learning process of how to handle my life - all the frayed emotions and hidden inhibitions...

Sometimes i do wish that there is a 8Days guide to my life. At least i'll know what will happened in the next episode.


Reply to tags (from now onwards i will reply to ALL of your tags...haha):

shar: darling, ur time will come soon..once the O's are OVER!

jess: haha that sounded like a tellytubby commercial..lol

vivian: lol, karmen's photography skills pro la, that's why. heh

alicia: i wont forget la..sent u the pics via MSN le right? ;)

alina: come work at sentosa!!! lol. i just choose not to get bogged down by unpleasantries. heh

a long wait

I realised it has been eons since i last typed an entry. ha, well, i was busy with camp, work and soaking in the joys of being free from assignments' chionging. GONE are those days! -laughs-

just to summarise what has happened to me in the past 20 odd days.

1: Went for Challengers Camp 06/07. it was real fun and i got to know lotsa fun-loving people from other courses. my group was AMBER and man, we totally rocked the whole camp! we were the noisiest, craziest and a bunch of enthu-kias for some odd reason. it was as though we were high on drugs. but of course not, we are thr squeaky clean students of ngee ann. hehe!

2: Started work at Sentosa - Images of Singapore. yes, it IS a museum but before you start groaning about how boring it is. IOS is a fun place! i mean with people like me around, how boring can Sentosa attraction get? Went for the Fort Siloso's Retreat on Friday 22 Sept and even though i have only worked for 4 days, everyone was real warm and stuff. i felt uber welcome, as a newbie.

3: Met up with my babes from A05. man, it was like 2 tai tais (alicia n min) and 2 jeans-girls (me n anita). even though we only like hung out for awhile, man i miss em so so much! Cant wait for a major a05 gathering when all the jc2 peeps are over with As! whee.

4: Marc reminded me something. That i have worked at many places within this 1 year plus. Coffeebean, Country Road, Queensway, Ngee Ann Poly's JAE period, Little Lamb and now Sentosa. And each time i start on a new job, i am thankful to God for giving me good managers/bosses/i.cs/colleagues. Working was always fun and i always manage to meet new people who adds more colours to my already colourful life. I shall not take this blessing for granted, so to all my friends out there, in recognition of YOU being my friend, i shall.....indulge you...in these photos below! haha. -winks-

Sending Wang Yu off....='(


Class pic!!!!

I'm plagued with eye problems again. -groans- My eyes are like as small as the Japanese peepers but yet, i'm down with sore eyes! wah lau, ma chiam my eyes not small enough like that..double groan

Monday was class BBQ, it was a tiring process trying to collect money from everyone, buying food, preparing food, cooking food, being hospitable. it was as though my own bbq. but thank God for God-sent people who helped me out in all these process : jess yao meiting yu karmen max and my bro (though i got chided by him..still if not for him, we wouldnt be able to have a proper fire!). Man, you guys made the entire BBQ a success! not to mention the class peeps too, hope you guys enjoyed the food and the laughter shared =)

Tuesday was Wang Yu's sent-off. Gosh, though i know he'll be back in a month's time, i kinda miss him. He and his singing, our shared ogling at guys alike and crapping..

Thursday/Friday, sent Joy mama and Chris ah-pa off to Japan for the MOL tour.

I dont know why, but after sending all the above off, i so feel like going overseas and it got me all nostalgic yet again. Thought about the time i sent twit and qi off. I miss twit. I miss qi. i miss yu. i miss everyone who is not in singapore at this moment.aargh.

to wd: oei u said it...K BOX!!!
to jac n van: will send ya photos...somehow? i dun tink email can tahan.

The birthday girls - Jac and Pei Xuan!

This is a late post but still i wanna exclaim...THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!
Chinese Literature exam was a nightmare came true. Studied through the night with yao and karmen over at my place. I thinked i worked hard a little too late, utterly filled with remorse of why didnt i succumb myself to being a nerd since the start of the school term. As Aesop Fables said it, no point crying over spilled milk. If i pass, i pass. If i fail, i fail my entire module. Though i sincerely wish that the former will come true instead of the latter. -groans-

Hung out with the new town lovelies on thurs. We created such a ruckus at Sakae @ Heeren that a particular lonely auntie (she was eating sakae by HERSELF) has this perpetual amused look on her face each time i caught her looking at us! Went to k-box and we k-ed the evening away..poor sotong and jac, JC peeps work had for your prelims eh! =)

Class BBQ coming up, may that night be a wonderful night and let everyone be there!

national day

Whee!
Happy 41st Birthday, Singapore!
Thank you for being the cleanest country in the world.
Thank you for being the only country in the world where it's citizens can speak 4 or more languages in one single sentence.
Thank you for being so globalized and competitive that the only reason why i have not dropped out of school is cox i "scared pai-seh, diu lian" and am of course kia-su, kia-see!

i am a singaporean because i know the difference between express and normal, belachan chilli and garlic chilli, boon tong kee chicken rice and 5 star chicken rice. And yes, singlish is an art, a culture. just like how we "wah lau eh" to everything.
ARE YOU SINGAPOREAN ENOUGH?

i am not asking for sympathy

i think i am beyond redemption. The anatomy of my brain is as complex as ABC.
I thought things will be okay but it is not, in reality. it just happens that eveything is okay because everyone acts as if it is okay when it is in fact not okay.

i hate class politics.
i hate back-to-back bitching.
why cant God make all of us mouthless?
or rather, i think i dwell too much on the nitty-gritties.
i do not hate you
i hate myself.

o-k-a-y, can someone please throw me a bottle of Optimism and hope?
you have no idea how much i need and crave for a temporal ecstasy that brings to an all-new high.

AAAAARGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

you know things are bad when the effect of a glimpse of THE GUITARIST lasts only a short mo. when it used to last for a week. 19 floor is in the running but still waaaay behind.

finally

flat on the wall

GAWD! it took me FOREVER to enter the "creat post" page of blogger. thank God for persevearance and patience and ta-da! the week was a busy one as usual. Went for the "Take the City Walk" on sat and i believe the 4km walk at least allowed me to shed off 500g? haha. The Sunday's newspaper article on blogging had me chuckling all the way though. The report reported that "ME" is all what blogging is about. Not that i am denying it. Cmon, we are all narcisstic and 我们都是自恋一族！=）-shrugs-

It kinda got me thinking about the prerogative of this blog. After wasting a few braincells, i concluded. the existence of this blog was simply..
1: to join the blogging community and experience the hype
2: keep connected with friends
3: allow me to remain sane

But then again, i know more often than not, i pen nonsensical stuff here to annoy kind readers here. I cant wait for the holidays. i think i badly am in need of one. Because yesterday, i came to realise how tired i was mentally and emotionally. i know how often i lament about stress and that. but you realise you are super tired when ambivalence and nonchalance hits you and you turn a blind eye to everything that matters.

thank goodness, there are always little things that act as temporal esctasy and perks me instantaneously like... YOU! so thank YOU..yes YOU. typing away on the keyboard. *Grins*

you me we

Sometimes i really am envious of those who are blind/deaf/mute.
they do not get to see/hear/speak of the treacheries of the world
nor are they even involved.
they are simply soaking in the simple pleasure of life that mere "perfect" humans do not understand.
i do not wish that i can remain ambivalent.
i really wish i was blind.deaf and mute.

alive by night

Ever since wednesday, i have let my nights be days and days remain as days. Rushing assignments after assignments, sleepless nights after sleepless nights. Is this how poly life is supposed to be?

crashed at Shuang's place on wed, the whole gang of t01(mingxiu) n t02 (the usual suspects of shuang jess yao joy ) crashed at my place on thurs and friday. we creatd such a ruckus that i reckoned my bro prolly wanted to squeeze me alive. ha! at least we managed to finish all that we needed to do and whether will we get As or Bs, it doesnt really matter cox what we gained at the end of our "Sleepover-cum-Work Parties" is mainly and simply friendship. -smiles-

in a sense i thank God for placing me in lecture group 02 with the likes of t01 n t02. we are a bunch of rowdy n insane people who will never leave a friend in need to fend for himself/herself. Thank God for T01 n T02! ha, without you guys' constant encouragment, i prolly would have begged to withdraw and change to some other course. BUT! you guys affirmed my presence in CHS and man, where else can i get classmates cum lovelies like you guys? -big grin-

the teachers are awesome too. pushing back deadlines after hearing of our plights and being understanding when we *cough* pon school and endlessly looking at our lappies during lessons, accompanied by the ubiquitous "tak tak tak" sounds of fingers furiously flying around the keyboard.

5 more weeks and it is the end of the term. i can only wish that i will stop hugging the Buddha leg at the eleventh hour but be able to complete all my 5/6 projects by 15 August where deadlines clashed and dark eye rings mark their return. not to forget, 19 august, where i will be sitting for my first poly exam that determines my future in CHS....CHINESE LITERATURE.

all together now..*gasp* OH MY GOAT.

shut up

hapy birthday yuen yun! =D sweet 18!


God made my eyes small so that i won't be able to see much of the happenings.
God created 2 ulcers in my mouth to keep me from talking too much.
God gave me long hair to cover my ears so that I won't listen much.
but..
He forgot about my mind, cause' i think too much.

i hope my care and concerns are not gone to waste, cox i guess all that thinking and pondering has killed my brain cells together with all the water.
therefore, i think i care too much. think too much. cry too much.
SCREAMS
welcome to the world of annabel where the lines between black and white are blurred with grey. where truth prevails but lies hover persistently.

Somebody,REMOVE MY MIND.

The cold and wind dont know
They only seem to come and go away.
Times are had when things got no meaning
I've found the key on the floor
Maybe you and i will not believe in the things we find
Behind the door
So what's the matter with you?

nerves of steel

Disclaimer: this is not my cat..ha

The world is corrupted and are full of weird people.
I used to pride myself as being very open-minded and can embrace the misfits of society. I thought i could. But at the end of the day, there is still a lot of struggles towards acceptance. It might take awhile but i cant deny the nerves of annoyance towards your indecisiveness.

AARGH.

chinese lit

poems poems poems!


meiting jess me


jess tore a page of our chinese lit books in a fit of laughter..HAHA

AARGH!

i would prefer doing 100 projects and assignments than studying for a SINGLE CHINESE LITERATURE TEST.-faints- somehow, i was duped into thinking that English Lit is similar to Chinese Lit. but i never knew how diverse the 2 cultures are. i dont dare to aim like high marks but if i can pass this single agony, i'll be uber thankful. ha

on a light note, there has been a wave of blogging craze in my class. i helped karmen, shuangying and meiting to create their blogs! whee~

okay i know i should be studying, i am left with only like 1 1/2 days to study for chinese lit but yet here i am blogging, blog-surf and cam-whore. fine, the 5000 years of chinese literature history is flashing in front of me.
I SHALL GO STUDY.

you are the man who can fly
and travel underground.
actually you are incredible,
though you always think you cant do it.

-excerpt from "Xue Jin Xiong Xin"-

lost control

Is it me or what? Been on a quarrelling spree with Wang yu lately. first was on tuesday where we disagreed about certain conducts and then yesterday, after our attempt at badminton, we lost it.

Why on earth did we let Tibet be the cause of our unhappiness?

Not like the Dalai Ilama will be grateful or wil Hu Jin Tao be darn proud about wangyu's patroitism. -shrugs- but at least it is all settled now la. I was just pissed off by un-needed surge of intenste attitude and the "diao" look he gave.

maybe i should have remain apathetic and shut my trap and not give a hoot about politics or general knowledge. annabel,you should have bloody controlled yourself!


andrew the twit and me!


my belated bday gift .. haha

but alas! the meetup with twit made my "OFF" mode day turn into a "ON" mode! i love it that we can be so comfortable with each other laughing and stuff. Dinner with a dose of nostalgia and a note of familarity. wonderful -smiles- he mentioned that we have not changed much since our new town days but, i think we all changed in some ways, just that we all accept the change in our lives.

i wonder when will be our next meet-up since that guy is going to RMIT and his air ticket is booked for June 2007! but oh wells, i guess it is in such times thar we rely on new media. aah.. twit!

sometimes i do wish that things will remain the same and not go a drastic 360degrees change but we all know how impossible it is.

World Cup

lovelies at tampines central mac : Portugal vs England..portugal WON! whee~


t02 and some of our lecturers at the Freshies Welcome party! 01july06


Portugal vs Holland...we never forget to cam-whore ANYTIME ANYWHERE

to mingyang: haha poly life is tiring! kill the person who said poly life is slack! and why is it that i NEVER see u in school??


For some reason, i have made McDonalds my third home after NP. I had spent my some of the mornings there watching soccer together with my mates and a bunch of strangers. the irony lies in the fact that i do have the World Cup Premium channel at home. i could watch the matches "live" at the comfort of my own territory but i chose to rough it out outside. haha, the main drawback about watching at home is that i will be dying of lung cancer. -shrugs-

so, i am no big soccer fan. i still have zilch idea why would 22 handsome lads run after a ball and get into scuffles with each other over the ball possesion. it seems meaningless to me, but somehow i kinda enjoy the adrenaline rush when you see the ball hit the net. haha.

lotsa projects coming up and i am tired of class politics. groupwork means working together as a group. which is something we all need to learn.

so when will Singapore win the World Cup?
probably when i am married to Jay Chou and have an affair with David Tao, not to mention a romantic getaway with Josh Harnett and Tony Leung and have Robbie Williams washing my feet plus Chet Lam serenading me with simple ballads.

in short, never. but i still love singapore! =) now, this is the power of propaganda - national education -wink-

ah mao

my cat. 3 yrs old, responds to "shh!, mao mao, meow meow"

I was at the quarter finals of NP Idol when i received a call from my bro. i realised that each time my bro calls me, it spells doom. and indeed it was. My cat's lost.

i tried enjoying the rest of the show and only managed to have fun when the taiwanese singer Tank came onstage. but still, my home feels weird without my cat. i used to lament about the stink of his poo and he constantly mews to get attention and also leaving his fur all around the place and on my laptop. somehow, i missed it.

pasted notices and someone noted that Ah Mao was spotted wandering around 19th floor. boy, i think he must be feeling lost. i mean all the levels design are the same. he wont be able to discern! i was afraid that he might wander into some stranger's home and gets thrown down. i am afraid that he might get bullied by the other stray cats. i am afraid i wont be able to see him again. i can only hope that he is safe and some kind soul would find him and return to us.




[edit 22.06 17:21] my cat is back! found him between some pots of plants at the 19th storey! he was frightened and afraid to get scoldings from us! haha yea! thank God he is safe and sound! =)

i love hongkong!

ah chow and me - first night in mongkok!


the puny toilet and me!

I'm back in sunny singapore! the weather in hk was cool, despite it being summer and to my dismay, NOT MUCH OF THE STUFF WERE ON SALE. -pouts- but i still managed to snag a few great buys at espirit and 2percent (the sales people are SUPER cute). perhaps i should skip school and go to hk in july where the sales period is at its peak! nah..but i love hongkong! the hostel is PUNY and not to mention the puny toilet. it is only big enough for you to sit on the toilet bowl, stretched out your hands to brush your teeth and reach behind for the shower head. there you go!

a lot of things happened to my class when i was enjoying myself in hongkong, but i guess i hope it will be over soon. why let a guy come between 2 good friends? perhaps i am of no position to comment but i feel...perhaps we should all re think about our idea of love and relationships. i believe it is time to stop all the flings and settle yourself down. i dont think you need to have a guy hanging on your arms to prove your worth. you are much more worthy of that. and i dont think there is any right or wrong to such stuff, i just feel that, we could all handle the situations more wisely. i mean, we are going to be in the same class for the next 3 years and not to mention 6 months in china?

enough of my talk, did i mention i love hong kong? haha.

hiong kong yan

i am flying off to hong kong in approximately 2 days! whee~

shopping
eating
shopping
eating

hong kong, my sanctuary in the days to come.
i will grow fat and return to singapore as a fashionable overweight beggar with all my hongkong purchases.

heh heh

cutie pies

too much of something is never good. cliche quote as it may be, but you can never deny the authencity of it.

CHS is deprieved of guys. that is definitely a fact. therefore we often feast our eyes at cuties during break but after awhile i got sick of it. i mean yes, i still wil let my gaze linger on that particular eye candy for awhile but not to the extent of screaming.

he is a guy and no he is not gay. just that he join us girls at our "Feast of the Cuties". haha. but his over-reaction and constant gushes about cuties..gets on me a little. okie, i am just overly stressed over my endless assignments to spend time and effort poring over Friendster profiles or what-not. all talks about guys guys guys. hello, it has been 7 weeks, aren't you getting sick of the dispproving looks u get from your high-pitched "AH! Hao Shuai!"..not to mention your lack of taste in good-lookers.

i have other better things to do.
novel at the point of time
but it's getting out of hand.

nocturnal old hag

Let us calculate. this is only the 6 week of sch and i have already like burnt God-knows how many cans of midnight oil. Slept over at jess' house with cindy on thursday cause we had to finish our speech com 800words essays (which i exceeded, i wrote 1073 words!) and also the writ com paragraph outlines.

needless to say, on friday the class of t02 was deadly tired. most of us were up the wole night chionging the same assignment. and it needn't help that i had to study for the grammar test for sat!

2 down, 3 more essays, 2 projects to go. SOMEBODY PLEASE KILL ME.

it is only in times such as this
that i remember you
and rely on you
wondering the reality of dreams
trusting is not as simple as it seems
but i shall.

Time never waits. I have got like 3 1000 word essays due between next and the coming week and i'm so going to make my lappie my best friend, not to mention my newly acquired dictionary. I'M GOING TO SURVIVE!

my classmates commented that i'm very westernised. but those back in new town and pjc commented that i'm a cheena person. so what am i? after "much" deliberation, i concluded i am a helicopter banana.

why helicopter? just try saying Chinese-educated in a thick Chinese accent and you'll hear yourself saying, "Chinese helicopter". lol. In jiemin's term, it simply means i;m bilingual so i should not be too worried. i wish i could. somehow i'm angry at the standard of chinese taught back in new town. i'm at such a disadvantage la. so what if i got A1, i'm still lagging behind. -groans-

And out of boredom, I decided to surf all my lecturer's profiles and man, Danny Yeo is going to be my goal. He has a Masters, graduated with First Class Honours and has great experience in radio and the media. He 's bilingual and despite being in the media industry, he managed to kept his feet on the ground and always trusting in God. Danny Yeo is my GOAL! i wanna be as good as him or perhaps even better. haha.

so yea, this is a superhero wannabe who is actually a helicopter banana who aims to be like danny yeo but really is surviving in chinese studies. I shall go back to my lappie and study for my test and start furiously typing my essays.

let's say it together, 大家一起来! 加油加油加油加加油! wheee~~~~

pendulum

For the first time ever since entering CHS, i cracked under stress and looming despari about my inability to complete projects and broke down in tears.

I went to the library in hope to find information for my projects but all efforts came to a naught. It gave me a headace instead. When i entered the room for cell-group, Keelin passed some comment which i really couldnt be botherd to rebutt back. Then Chris chided him and mentioned soemthing about me being stressed over Chinese Lit, somehow, it sort of reminded me of all my projects (including a nightmarish 3 1000 words essays).

i got out of the room and somehow i let the tears flowed. in a way, the tears were a release for me. Went back and Joy and he girls arrived. Prayers abound and somehow i felt the love from my spiritual family once again.

Chinese studies. Marc keeps saying i made a mistake in going there. The thought never fails to haunts me but I enjoyed the whole course and lecturers and my lovely class. I love Chinese. I love media. all i need now is the ability to shake off the habit of writing in English and get accustom to writing in Chinese.

I can conquer this stumbling block and emerge victorious!

full time student

I'M A FULL TIME STUDENT, FINALLY!

After pondering and some nail-bitings, i decided to quit both my Little Lamb and Coffeebean jobs. It's always good to have extra cash but i guess, after Sunday's service, i knew God is telling me to take a rest and concentrate on my priorities that is ..studies and Him. =)


me and my mister brokeback..~~

It's kind of uncanny 'cause, i was listening to radio the other day, and the deejay was saying about taking a break to recharge yourself. so i mean, it's obvious la! but oh wells..i never enjoyed the idea of being a full time student till now. yes i know, i'm insane!

watched the news today? Good news! you just missed catching me on the news! haha. I cant believe people still managed to caught it on CNA, TvMobile or CH5/8 la. i looked like some bloated ghastly ghost. No wonder the news presenters all slapped on 5-inches thick foundation. and it's true, you look DOUBLE even TRIPLE the size of yourself on tv. -grossed out-

t02 havoc

I really love T02. I never fail to be thankful and be blessed to be part of this lovely class. so off to K box we went on thursday and when i say we were havoc i do mean havoc.

we starting to sing "high" songs at shuangying's request and we got so high that we were jumping and dancing around. gosh, i never realised how HOT kbox could be. but yea. it was fun nonetheless.some minor hiccup but i mean for the sake of the well being of the class..let us forgive and forget. -smiles-

today we spent much of the cell time chatting and recording a video for qi which is so election-esque i think qi will probably have her eyeballs popped out watching it la!

Been thinking alot lately. whether i should stop working and be contented being a full-time student. but i guess i have been working for so long that i sort of forgot how to revert back being a student. And no, this aint a good sign. but i shall keep away from the lure of monetary benefits.

money can never be enough.
and i shall learn to be contented with it all.

everyday's daisies loving

my lovely class with our fave lecturer Danny Yeo =D

It's the 3rd week of school and i'm beginning to feel the heat. The idea of rushing projects and assignments and having to be able to balance school and life in general.

but thank God for my classmates think without them i would have died horribly in chinese lit. i think what amanda said was true, Chinese Lit is fun once you get the hang of it and afterall, i took English Lit..i by rights should have not much problems. -cross fingers-

Went to watch Daisy the other day with yun and i cried. It was a nice movie and even though i know such things will never happen in real life,somehow, the show touched me. but yea.

ever felt that even though you are living and alive, you are mentally gone and simply drifting along the safety lines of life?

jiu ming:gao meng:HELP

First 2 days of school went by in a flash. I experience the whole package of "first day of school" i.e, i got lost.I may have grew up in NP since pei hwa is right next to it, my childcare was there and my mum works there but no, i'm not totally adept at the geographical location of all the blocks!

Lessons were alright and Chinese Lit proves to be a lot to handle but i'll persevere! my entire class are at a loss about Chi Lit and our reading materials are simply words words words and more words. i shall brace myself for it.

i'm taking only 5 modules (Written Communication with FSV, Speech Communication in Chinese, Chinese Music:Lyrics and values, Chinese Pop Culture and Intro to Chinese Lit). i kinda enjoy speech com most because my lecturer is Danny Yeo! his lessons are creative and fun.

God has been good to me, always. Everyday in school, i'll somehow meet friends from fcbc/new town/pei hwa. my classmates went as far as to comment that i have friends like almost everywhere. haha. most of my class peeps are from the north or east so they dont have the privilege of having that much fellow schoolmates as we western students do. -smiles-

school school school. did i mention there is no cute guys in my class or course, rather? -sad-

Chinese Studies

me and my orientation MeePok Gang!

It's my first day in school and i'm so totally filled with exitement. it's been nearly 1 n 1/2 years since i experience the "first day of school" syndrome. the last honour going to the lovely A05 last year.

Orientation was cool. There are only 9 guys in my COURSE and around 3 guys in my class. so far so good. i have made some gret friends and at first i was apprehensive abou being one year older than some of my peers. but my fears were unfounded. haha Jinlu is in CHS too and we have a couple of 88ers, 1 87 and 2 86ers.






First lesson Chinese Lit went by in a blur. the poems and stuff the lecturer taught, everyone was like, "huh?". i got a feeling it'll be one helluva year and i hope to do well. -cross fingers-

TGIF

I spent my weekend with a blast. Good Friday was spent at sentosa and though i didnt participate in most of the games since i had to get out of sentosa to get food in with chris, i still had fun, overall. and desmond u MEANIE! that horrible desmond got me a book that says something about why women cant stop talking. I GOT THE HINT! -crossed arms-




nataline the FLY CATCHER



michelle in the rain

stayed over at chah's with alicia and min(who got stranded at ayer rajah..sorry dear!) Chah said something about how we often mellow in self pity that we forget that there is always someone with a much terrible fate. i couldnt agree more. but i guess, somehow despite knowing all these, i'll always return back to my self-pity state. i-sight.

Sunday was a project s mini gathering. adam gave us a un-needed 1 day tour of bugis where we walked from bugis to P.S to bugis in aid to hunt for a restaurant! we all so wanna kill him, including his gf Mag! I realised that almost everyone there are in NP. Adam and Robin in BIT. Mag in Mass com. I in Chinese Studies. With the exception of hanxiang and xiaoling who are in MDIS. Looks like NP will be a major gathering place for me and my lovelies!

K box was super high and all 6 of us went jumping on the sofas while croaking to "Tuo Diao" and "Superstar". This is only like our 3rd time meeting each other and apparently, we are quite chummy.


on the sofa..tuo diao!


robin and adam..
