life after A's

Life after A's is good. a little bit too good sometimes when i end up waking up with nothing to do but stare at the clock and wait for time to pass. but most of it's been great. went shopping with mum on tues and bought my prom dress. she refused to buy me shoes for prom cause she says my dress was over the budget and i had suitable shoes at home to go with the dress. whatever. haha. im just glad im done with that prom shit. bought a comfy sweater from uniqlo and some sandals for NZ trip too. went for training after the shopping and died. couldn get outta bed the next day cause my entire body was aching damn badly. oh well. but i had fun. miss playing badminton.

went to watch dear play yesterday. i must say i love watching you play. its kinda inspirational. watching you fight so hard and all.its no wonder hamid used to always talk about you, about how you cannot move already but still continue fighting. haha. as much as he hates ACS, and as much as he hates to admit it, he respects you as a player. he let it slip once i remember. not sure if i told ya. oh well, cheer up la dear:) it was a good game with a lousy umpire with no integrity and non-existent line-judges/service judge. the fact that you almost won made it evident that jiayi's national team training 14 times a week is kinda just a waste of his life. and once again i repeat, his long hair damn ugly (sorry, i cant help it. just cant stand the long hair.)

spent most of my mornings planning for the NZ trip. mum and dad just shoved everything to me and went "we very busy. havent plan itenary yet. you do la. since you so free" but its been quite fun lah. gets me excited about the trip. leaving this sunday. love the feeling of leaving for a trip. the packing, the planning, the airport (ilove the airport. changi airport FTW). but i hate the feeling of being away from dear for 2 weeks. so, as much excitement i may feel, a part of me's dreading the 2 weeks without contact. oh well. i might get internet connection there but i cant promise.

going to watch new moon today with dear. HAPPY! can't wait. the true edward CULLEN and bella SWANN:)

30, seoul garden, ken watannabe, bad smell, stuffed tummies and lots of laughter

here to blog about class dinner yesterday.was quite a good time. with alot of laughter and alot of food. attendance was fairly good i guess. must be due to 30's presence..haha. except for a minority and an exception who pangseh us for her quan quan. (jkjk. sorry crys, i can't help it. its funny) met tk, ca and th earlier at city hall before heading to bugis..walked around pretty aimlessly and headed to the arcade where tk said something about it being time to step out of our elitist mentality and get a feel of the ground where neighbourhood kids, ahbengs and ahlians play. he even quoted the chairman of the PSC scholarship board saying that they need people who have a good understanding of the "ground". whatever *rolls eyes*. so we kinda walked one round and i actually think that place was kinda freaky. i mean people with really bad hair/hair colour and weird fashionless piercings were all over the place and i was actually dying to get out. when we eventually did, even tk who initiated the move "to get the feel of the ground" admitted he didnt feel comfortable there. so much for stepping out of our elitist mentality. well, perhaps it isnt so much about being elitist lah. but the fact that the people there aren't exactly well-mannered, socially aware people makes it hard to fit in. im hoping the PSC scholarship board's chairman was referring to some other ground that does not involve dark dhingy arcades/ahbengs/ahlians..blaa

went to seoul garden soon after. we were there early and began inhaling the horrible bbq smell that made my eyes water and my head hurt. the smell is so bad that until now, my bag smells of burnt bbq-ed food. ughhhh. oh well, but as the rest started arriving and conversations got going, the entertainment kinda took my mind off the smell. ate a hell lot (understatement) and made friends with KEN! haha. he was an awesome service staff and he always had a smile on his face, even when no one was watching. HAHA. Jo claims he likes her? whatever happened to her being attached to me, or tri for that matter. anyway, we were asked to do up some survey forms and they insisted on us filling up the open ended parts which we were obviously too lazy to give properly structured answers. As such, we seized the opportunity to apply what we have learnt in physics over the past two years, writing down the principle of superposition, newton's first law of gravitation etc etc. tk even applied his limited knowledge of vietnamese. HAHA. and to our horror, the manager/supervisor read the forms immediately after we submitted it while we were still in the restaurant. what the..

anw, we were trying to convince 30 to use facebook more often. and ca was glaring daggers at me when i said that it would help him learn ALOT more about his students. HAHA. but i not scared anymore mans! im a brave lil' girl :P so i just went on, taking cue from tk and jo. well, there was the incident of muz spilling pepsi all over the grill too. unfortunately, jo and i were in the toilet and didnt manage to witness the catastrophic event which was apparently hilarious.

anw, during dinner, i received a call fr mummy asking me if the IT fair was at expo of suntec. I was like "expo! i said it a million times this afternoon!!!" den she told me that they went to suntec cause they remembered wrongly and it was too late to head to expo..so there i was, sad that the possibility of getting my DSLR by this weekends was crushed. i must say, my parents are very sneaky. when they picked me up from the MRT from which i alighted (from the cab with 30 and jo), they were like "eh, the camera how ah? next week no more it fair, mummy and i over the weekends very busy lah. sorry lah. not very important right?" den i was like "huh. ok lor. whatever". i wasnt really thinking much about the camera cause i was preoccupied with being disgusted with how bad i smelt. so when i got home, i went to my room and in the dark, i saw this whole chunk of stuff on my bed and i shouted "wahliao! who anyhow put things on my bed!!" when i switched on the light, i realised it was my DSLR CANON 500D. i must say again. my parents are very sneaky. haha. but anyway, thank you mummy. thank you daddy <3 from now on, no more lousy pictures:) here comes my DSLR!!

our class. with KEN! haha (30 looks just like one of us actually)

TH and Jo with "XHD"

jo looks fierce. i look retarded

when i make a fool outta myself

today's one of the most embarressing day of my life. its only ONE of the most embarressing days of my life. which means i embarress myself alot more often than i should.unfortunately. What happened was that jo and i were at this stationary stall at ion called kikki k. we were playing with one of their conversation starters and so she asked me some qn on the card and i was thinking how to ans her. as i was processing the qn in my brain (sorry ah, a levels almost over, brain not working properly alr), i leaned against what i thought was the wall. unfortunately, that was not a wall but a freaking flimsy piece of canvas that separated the shop from the display outside. so there i went, falling right through the canvas and crashing into the display. awesome. jo was laughing so hard, the shop keepers were trying not to laugh too. and people walking past the shop must have been wondering what i was doing in the display. gosh.it was the weirdest situation i found myself in. i didnt noe whether to laugh or cry or what mans. oh well.

at least today's shopping trip was kinda fruitful. bought tanks from uniqlo that were on offer! happy with my buys:)) dear joined us halfway and we went to paragon, toys r us and ended up playing with the toys there. was quite good fun.ended up at orchard central where we sat got a drink at coffee bean and talked nonsense. somehow it always ended up with me having to choose between siding xq or jo. you two ahhhh!! bully me. hahaha. oh well. guess i deserved it, after i bullied him into taking a picture=P

went to support my sister at yck sports hall later in the evening for cheers indiviaduals. guess she didnt play too well but oh well, im sure she tried her best. dear says i ought to be nicer to my sis and i guess i really ought to. i'll try my best la. sometimes its kinda hard when she snaps at you at the slightest things and i guess over the years we ended up talking in this manner to each other. oh well. guess im gonna crash alr. tired. hmm, before i do, i'll post some pics.hahhah. really dear, the pic aint too bad:)

love the christmas feel:))

jo's distorted face

jo: "im gonna keeeeeeel you..." *glares*

Last night starlit skies

Sparkled over the trees
While fishing an osprey flies
Keen eyes searching the sea

The fog has settled in
Like some dark wet gloom
The sun cannot win
Fog has sealed it’s doom

Such a change from evening
As we sat out on the deck
So damp grey and depressing
My soul is such a wreck
Life is like the weather
Depression is its fog
Faith is your bellweather
Prayer will left the smog
We can’t control the weather
So we adjust every day
Just pull on a sweater
And go about our way

Some things aren’t simple
And I do not take it light
But to God its just a dimple
And prayer will make it right

Use faith as your sunlight
To brighten dreary thoughts
Use the lord’s prayer to fight
As happiness is sought

Now you must believe in something
To get through life intact
When belief in self is lacking
Try faith in God, it’s a fact.


here's to dear. cheer up alright! things aren't always the way we want them to be but we'll get around it somehow <3 keep a smile on your face sunshine =)

child's play

it was wesley's 4th birthday yesterday and my family brought him out for dinner. seems like we celebrate his birthday for him every year.not long ago, he was just a little baby making all sorts of goo-goo gaa gaa noises. and now he's talking non-stop. that kid is uber cute. especially when he tries to speak like a grown up when he is infact um, really tiny. haha. we were in the car and he kept thinking he was ben ten and i was an alien. i died many times. according to him (because of his superpowers..yeah right). it was really funny the way he jumped from one topic to the next. one moment he was fighting me as an alien, the next, he was teaching me how to play tennis. after he "whack whack whack shoot shoot shoot.." he suddenly went "jie jie sheena, do you know how to play games?" i was like of course i do. so i asked him "what games do you like to play? do you know how to play badminton?" he frowned at me and went "i dont play badminton. but i know how to play tennis? do you know how? i can teach you.. first you hit the ball. then you wait for it to bounce...then you see your opponent hit the ball...then you wait and then you whack and then you can WINNNN!!" yeah. a four year old giving me advise on how to be the next maria sharapova. haha. a few seconds later. he returned to killing alien/s (me).

when we got out of the car, he went, "what place is this? australia?" shit. i laugh until stomachache trying to explain to him that we are still in Singapore. he's argument was "but ben ten can fly! just now i use my superpower to fly already. are we in America? ben ten live in America leh" so the whole night was basically about ben ten and how he was ben ten and how he wants to eat "american food" so he can be like ben ten. since we were going to shokudo with not much "american food" i had to make up stories to satisfy his curiousity about american food (ok, i know, very bad to bluff small kid. but it was seriously too tempting cause his reactions were damn funny) i told him we were eating japanese food and that ben ten ate japanese food when he was a small boy so that he could grow fast and strong. but of course, my shallow knowledge of cartoon characters was no match for his. he immediately corrected me saying "no ben ten ate alot of veggie and carrot that's why he's so strong." ok whatever. i couldn possibly tell him to eat veg and carrots on his birthday so i just let it go. den i bluffed him that astro boy who was ben ten's cousin was from japan and ate alot of japanese food and that seemed to convince him. although i didnt know what i was talking about (my sis later told me that i was right and that astro boy was from japan. haha. seems like im quite accurate in bullshitting sometimes) well he happily ate and asked 10million questions about the food, the people, what i study, what my mum likes to eat...he's super random but i guess that's cause he's still a kid. after it all, i thought he was satisfied with the jap food. but when we were leaving the restaurant, he tugged at my shirt and went "jie jie, i want french fries and ice-cream. that's american food right?" so we went to macs and got him that. he can eat alotttt mans.

oh well. had a great time with that rascal. although he spent the whole night trying to convince me that i was dead because i was an alien and he was ben ten.

sweetie pie (when he aint busy killing me)

he asked me to make a funny face

sis, mum and me. we were celebrating mum's b'day too:)

he went "eh eh eh! i want to join you all." and then he popped up beside us to take this picture

ben ten watch!!

our ben ten watches!!

farewell. not really.

farewell assembly today was quite good. had a good time catching up with my teammates as we sat together for the assembly.talked about team holiday and all. quite cool. hope something comes outta it in the end. the guest of honour's speech was quite funny and macey claims to have a crush on him. HAHAHAH! she wanted to go on stage again to anyhow take another prize so she could shake his hand once more. no wonder she says she likes older men;)

it was our very very very very last civics lesson too. i could hear the shattering of someone's heart when BT dismissed us. ahhh! the agony!! its alright la CA, you can always add him on facebook and you guys can superpoke each other all day (and all night long:) ) (eh.. i joking only ah. i still wanna live to take my a levels ok!)

well after that the rest of the day just sucked.sigh.

Read more...

sigh. feeling kinda lost these few days. hate it when i dont know where im going next or if i can get to where i want. a levels is not very far off but my 5 As still seem elusive. sigh. whatever happened to big dreams and great ambitions. seems like everyone is busy applying something here and there while i dont really know how i should go about it. yeah. everyone says just study for a levels first and settle the rest later.i guess thts true. but it is really unsettling realising that you may not be good enough for what you wanna be. and theres nothing much i can change about some of it. like the amount of CIP hours for eg. oh well. just some random blab from my incoherent, messed up mind now. back to math. =(

duolos

went onboard mv duolos today with. took a tour and got a better understanding of the ship and it's ministry around the world. it was pretty interesting and inspiring to see how people of so many different nations can come together with one common mission and passion. charm was very excited about volunteering to "work" onboard the ship after her IB exams but i guess not so for me. haha. when i heard that the boat did not have stabilizers, i knew i couldnt make it. but after the tour and listening to how these people are reaching out to the less fortunate in other countries, i am all the more sure that i want to go out to the mission field as well. i believe to go out there outta one's comfort zone will really be quite a life-changing experience. what a better way to change my life then to do so while spreading God's love. from what i see, we have alot to give with our ordinary selves. and even the most ordinary skills we have can be made for extraordinary purpose by an extraordinary God. haha. just felt pretty uplifted after the visit on doulos. kind of takes me to see the bigger picture of life, instead of the miserable mugging im trying to endure these days. haha. met ben ten at vivo. was telling jo that i had a feeling that we would meet someone we knew today. who knew it was ben tan. mr tan i mean. whoops.

just asked mum and dad about my church's mission trip. apparently, there's gonna be a trip down to east timor. dad says the situation there should be quite stable already so they are planning a trip down. really hope i can go:)

well, most of all, i was really glad to finally meet ya today after 2 extremely long weeks. and i can't wait to see ya again tmr <3

i'm too lazy to blog much today. nothing much to talk about either. school was a whole lot of slacking. we walked out of econs lecture because the lecturer said "if you all wanna talk, you can leave the LT now." we dedcided that we wanted to talk and hence we obeyed instructions and left the LT for lunch although we already went to manna cafe earlier in the day to eat. that new random cafe in my sch's quite cool, food's not bad too. except you come out smelling like fried food. i had TK calling me "fried chicken in tomato sauce" for a few hours after that. lessons were pretty much non existent. we spent math lesson cam-whoring and playing with some stuff on the wall, forming all sorts of different words. it was fun. but that's about it. came home and did a rather back-breaking (literally) session of chem. blaa.

ailin and i had to hold her down to get this picture. (which is very very not easy. considering she's cheryl ang) i must say, its actually quite a nice pic :)

i just found out what that meant today.

camwhores. thanks for vandalising my phone with a hell lot of your pics, junhao

this was how the cam-whoring session started i think

jo tried to block tri's face with the paper. to no avail ;)

i totally agree.

tze heng has a lot more pics in his cam.

sigh

didnt get that 1 extra mark for math. stuck with a c.sigh. a C and a B, though only one grade apart sounds like a lot of difference. and i hate the way that difference is making me feel upset :( i guess my prelim grades sucked after all. whatever.

kinda down today actually. don't feel like going to school these few days though its the last few days of it and i should be treasuring them. just dont really feel like talking to people or hanging out with friends for that matter. anti-social. yeah. my symptom of stress. and hearing people complaining about getting a B instead of an A just makes me want to hurl.i don't blame them. i mean, its human nature to always want to attain something better but it just reminds me of how far away i am from them. yeah. perhaps it should serve as motivation but if i were to be honest with myself, its just making me feel terrible. especially this close to A's. looking at all these, i really wonder if i'm ever good enough. good enough to even be applying for a scholarship, applying for med school and all. i know im wallowing in self-doubt and its not good. but its just what really runs across my mind.

home feels like a really good place to be right now. where nobody's around to make me feel stupid or inadequate. i guess i should have gotten used to culture in RJ by now. in fact i used to believe i thrived on it but i guess not anymore. its the last few days i know. but its seems to be taking forever.

Skies are dark. Its time for rain.

not a good day. it started fine. got back math and did quite okay. was actually quite happy cause at least my extra time and effort devoted to math paid off. chem was a totally different story. out of all my h2 subjects, i practiced the most for chem. (yes even more than i did for math), got hold and used all the resources i could from school and hwa chong friends, vandalised my wall with chem "posters", read them every night before i go to bed and i get a disgusting, awful, atrocious, screwed up E. i guess i'm really discouraged. some people seem to do it so easily. i really dont get it. shucks. i mean, mum says "but its your school chem.isn't your school chem more difficult than its supposed to be? just make sure you do well for A's can already". but its not that easy. and my confidence is shattered. and if other people can get at least a decent grade for chem in RJ, i know its not impossible. but  i'm stuck in the E rut for the whole of this year and it really sucks. sigh. i guess i'm just hoping what my senior said comes true for me. that he only got U all his life for chem in RJ but got an A in a-levels. i guess that's what's giving me abit of hope now. but still, getting an E seriously sucks.

oh well. i guess that's for what i got today. went for a long run. covered my long route plus an extra 1 or 2 km which amounts to around 6+/7km prob? it was kinda good. helped me clear my brain and vent my frustrations. i guess, overall, the Lord's been good. My math, physics and GP all improved by 3,2,1 grades respectively and i think that's pretty good. and this BBBDE grade i get this time is still by far my best set of results in RJ and i ought to be thankful. guess the entire pre-lims were not too bad, especially for physics where i did not expect a B(cause i spent really little time on it), guess chem was the ultra-mega disappointment but i'll stop talking about that. no point mulling over it anymore. i'll just work towards A's. 

dear's stuck in camp tonight. guess that sucks too. but once today's duty is over, the rest of the week should pass quite quickly ya? sigh. i need my sunshine. my skies are grey today :(

back pains and cravings

no. i ain't pregnant. no. facebook's prediction ain't coming true. but my back's giving me quite alot of problem lately. find it quite torturous to sit still and study for 2 hours straight cause my spine will start to hurt alot. gosh. it's really irritating cause it's affecting my studying. and if it doesnt get any better in 5 weeks time, i guess it'll do its fair bit of harm to my a's as well.math paper is 3hours long. that's greater than my threshold duration of my pain endurance. shucks. praying that my back will be better by than. just spoke to my dad's friend who's a physiotherapist today. said she'll help me look up some stuff to help. we'll see. otherwise my parents are gonna send me for an MRI and i hate MRIs. i have been stuck in that disgustingly terrifying claustrophobic machine one time too many and i do not appreciate that blue thingy that they stick down your vein. urrrghhh. oh well. as for the cravings, i've just been having weird cravings these days. like no more teh bing but soyabean milk instead/beef noodles/tau sah piahs blaa blaa blaa. feels like i'm really eating for 2 people. haha. shit. jo says i'm obsessed with having kids. i guess i sound like it now. STOP STOP!

went for run with jo today.good run. nice weather and good entertainment:) nice having someone to talk while running. makes it less boring.we should do that more often. help me get rid of the soya bean milk/beef noodles/tau sah piahs i've been eating these few days. haha.

yay! monday's over. one day down. 4days and a few hours till i see ya again <3

(oh, anyway, i tried googling our names and the blog doesnt come up in the first few options unless you type "xinquan/sheena". but i figured there's a really minute possibility that someone would type that in that exact manner unless they're stalking us :O!)

new moon

hey there

the beginning of a new week rele had an impact on me. monday blues, especially when i couldnt meet up with you yesterday. rele feeling the emptiness swep through me and feeling the pain every minute, every second.luckily i brought bella to accompany me. haha read about 230 pages already, still about 300 left. think i'll finish it by thursday latest. at thepart where jacob morphs. so interesting. haha. anyway i hope your studying is going according to plan and your results are good. remember that sunday's lunch is on me. gonna have duty tomorrow and i'm already dreading it. but even worse im dreading my sunday duty that is a few weeks from now. hate duties that are on weekends. especially when you gotta do at least one weekend duty every month, not including the weekday ones. even my parents are complaining about the regularity of me being at duty. oh wells. im hoping i get to meet you on sunday. there shouldnt be a problem. most likely staying at my friends house this saturday so i'll be early. haha. this is really funny. instead of using this blog to tel the world about the happenings, we're just like talking to each other. i dont mind it, just that what if people yahoo or google our names and they find this, we're dead for sure. haha.
oh wells. gonna watch tv now. take care!

miss ya

its the very very last official week of school. kinda sad actually. life in RJ has been helluva fun. things were tough (understatement) and still are (my a's arent over) and there were times where i really didnt wanna go to school, but i guess amidst all those bad days/weeks/months.. the friendships forged, laughter and fun shared stands out most clearly in my memory.Class time is never boring. somehow, someone always has something stupid or funny to do or say.i guess i'll even miss sleeping in class. miss my badminton team too. all the long dreadful hours spent in the ISH seem so far behind now (not that i would wanna relive those) but there were always fun times in between, even as we collapse on the floor with cramps, aches and injuries every alternate day. oh well. i should save all these for farewell assembly on friday or badminton farewell. kinda moving ahead too fast in time. oops.

i think missing you so much is making me emo. that explains the rambling above. sigh. i want next weekend to be here now. its gonna be a long week.was kinda looking forward to seeing you this weekend but guess it wasnt possible.oh well, at least i see you in my dreams =) (though its nothing compared to the real thing). its 'just' one more week i guess.but it doesnt change the fact that i miss you. very very very much. next week, we go eat beef noodle k? i still got craving:))

back to school

school finally began this morning (i make it sound as though i was looking forward to it all this while. ok.maybe i was. school days are always very interesting:) right class?) anw, to begin with, GP was simply hilarious. According to TK, "today, m-ooi damn cute". It all began with the laptop and m-ooi's usual frenzy to get things in order. As usual, TK was being his normal over-enthusiastic self, offering to help to carry tables, chairs, take the role of the AV rep, set up the lap top for m-ooi...you get my point. m-ooi was just rambling on and on about how the new class location sucks and how the system sucks (so much for being politically correct) and blaa..(i mean whatever she said was just hilarious) while TK, JH and a few other were "trying" to get the laptop set-up. poor TH kept following m-ooi around as she trotted around the classroom, asking for permission to go to the toilet but she was too caught up with her complaining that she didnt notice him at all until a very long while later. when the screen was finally up, she didnt dare to type her username and password to log into her account cause she was afraid we could see it. oh man! such a joke. we were trying to convince her that when she typed her password, the screen only showed the ******. Then she began cursing technology. HAHA. She still refused to type it so JH had to help her switch the screen off so that she could log on first. Then we waited...and waited...and waited...for the screen to come on again until JH finally decided to check the projector and realised the switch was off. He switched it on and the screen came on and we were all happy for awhile. then m-ooi went, "dont you wanna switch off the lights? won't you all go blind.." so arif, being nearest to the switch very cleverly went up and switched off everything. including the switched linked to the projector so the screen went blank again. ZOMG. the class couldn stop laughing. m-ooi just glared arif down while he gave his trademark grin back at her.

got back our GP papers. got a B. guess its alright. hopefully by the a levels, i'll be able to pull it up to an A.

last block of the day was entertaining too. the typical tri and jo drama in class again. too lazy to type though. all i can say is there ended up with one too many lightbulbs surrounding them...tsk tsk.

tk: "my reverered tutor..."

JH: "don't worry m-ooi, it'll be alright..."

That's what cameras in lifts are for ;)

the many many light bulbs surrounding and inbetween tri and jo. hahaha. playing taiti.what happened to econs.

oh well. really tired today. stayed up really late last night looking at uk unis. i found out that i can do a masters in podiatry actually! but only in U of Southhampton. so i guess that's the only uni im gonna apply to for podiatry. its the best of the rest that offer that course too. i spent quite alot of time looking up other fields as well. decided that i'll apply to UCL and u of manchester for speech science as well. think its really interesting too. oh man. i find too many things interesting. i still wanna do med in nus too (if i can get in). i guess the different options are like back-up plans for one another. i think i'm like the opposite of you here dear. while you don't know what else you wanna do other than econs, i wanna do so many other things that i can't choose. shucks. i guess i'll just go with the flow and see where God leads me :) haha. but i went abit mad last night and looked up medical physics and actually believed i was interested in it. yeah. prob interested in it for 5 minutes, then reality struck that if i were to spend the next 3-4 years of my life studying collisions of electrons/photons, stimulated/spontaneous emissions and what nots(more profound stuff like that), i'll totally go nuts.

yupp yupp. i will make sure i'll study hard for A's. that's the thing that matters now. and i realised that applications for UK unis close on jan 15 2010. so you don't have to stress too much over your personal statement yet:) i'll help. don't worry:)

Happy Childrens' Day

hi world (or whichever part of the world bored enough to read this=P)
The last 2 days were a killer for me. having duty on wed night was not exactly the best thing in the world. after a serious lack of sleep from staying up through the night, i needed to work the full day of today. had a bad headache that was killing me from inside. when i came back i couldn't sleep. what a day huh. but at night i did a research on what i wanted to study in the UK (just click here and there) and came up with a list of the universaties i would like to go to. 1) LSE ,2) UCL, 3)Manchester,4) UOL. others don't really matter. i planned to study economics there so these are the logical front runners. just emailed some teachers to ask them to aid in writing my testimonials and now i got to start in writing my own personal statement that i totally need help with. have no idea where to start and end, what and what not to put in, how much to write and basically everything possible. this is an appeal to people reading this to help me. i;m drowning in words, someone save me. this goes to dear who is also looking at the UK uni. dream big la dear. dont look at the course cause it doesnt offer masters anymore. you know what i'm talking about. focus on getting into med in NUS la k? but whatever it is, i will always support you. yupyup. this is kinda my last contribution for the day before i go and sleep. yes. that was basically my day. boring right. haha. 400 days till i can do whatever i want. yupyup. to all the young ones out there and the young one calling from inside me, HAPPY CHILDRENS' DAY!!!. and to her studying for A's to focus on your objectives k. dont spend too much time applying for the unis that you forget the more important piece of the picture. sleep early sleep more. apparently it improves brain power. you know i only want the best for you.

Love, me

indian poker. awesome entertainment.

i tried to be disciplined today and i succeeded somewhat. practiced chem questions for most of the afternoon while i was separated by one bridge from my class playing their ass off in sentosa. well, i had my share of entertainment. with forever 21, topshop, zara less than a 5 minutes walk away from the starbucks i was studying at, life cannot be too boring i must say. well, i spent my study breaks shopping and i promise my breaks weren't very long nor frequent. but i managed to buy a day dress from forever21:) yippie!!! at a really cheap price too. guess i'm not that ATAS after all.still scouring for bargains (well, mainly because its my own money i'm spending this time).

Met my class for dinner after they came back from sentosa. As we were buying dinner to go to the roof top and eat, danial and yy filled me in on all the *ahem* accidents that happened between tri and jo. what with them going for the same ball and falling over each other (according to danial) or falling in different directions (according to jo). whatever it is, i must say, there ought to be some chemistry between those 2 (sorry jo ;) ) oh. and when jo fell/leg crammed? (i cant remember these details), tri was the first one on the scene but jo shoo-ed him away. poor tri. jo, you ought to be more tactful :))) hahahaha.

We played indian poker after dinner and it was VERY interesting. the loser of each round had to answer a question truthfully and i guess i was wearing red underwear today (was i?) so i luckily escaped being questioned throughout the night. well, we talked abt and asked alot of random stuff. basically abt past relationships yaday yada (usual truth or dare qn). zhenxiao however seemed very interested in the guys' "length" and "width". well, fulfilling my duty as PIG vice-president, i educated my fellow classmates that it "isn't really the size that matters but the hardness" - quote Mind Your Body by The Straits Times. I mean, its general knowledge.although i admit i know less than my admirable president ailin who watched the uncensored version of Bruno. but still, i was just trying to be helpful.

I guess we were talking really loudly and people around us could here us loud and clear.but i suppose it aint as bad as the last time we had dinner at pasta mania (sorry for the digression) but it seems that our class conversations tend to drift towards the non-scientific aspects of human biology very often.

Anyway, getting on with the night, the highlight was none other than Tri and his "damn hard to answer question". Everyone else who got questioned were rather willing to share but tri on the other hand had tremendous emotional and mental struggle in trying to get a name out of his mouth. we were even afraid he was gonna start crying but being 6k, we continued asking. and of course, being tri, he did not cry. he just kept wiping his toe on ailin's deck of cards..ew.

Tri in red, danial in orange, junhao in blue, junjie in white.

Tri "too hard to say the name..."

"pleasee...can don't tell??"

Well.sadly.i left before they squeezed the name outta him. I expect alot more comical actions and statements from our class joker though. wait till i catch up with jo tmr. haha:)

anyway, to sum up the night, it was darn entertaining. 6k FTW!!:)

notice the gap between jo and tri. hmmm...what's with the animosity you two?

tmr's gonna be a pretty long day. physics and econs tuition and i aint done any of the hw. well done girl.

i miss you dear.

just a thought from a wondering mind

hey stranger! i caught you doing that. you shouldn't have, now i have to blog about you. but recently i;ve been noticing queues of people changing their old EZ link cards for new ones at the very last few days. oh my, this notification was given months ago and why are you people have to be so lazy to go change then, look what happens now, 30-people-long queues at various Mrt stations ticket office. why do people procrastinate? is there a reason? i mean. if you went to change the card earlier you wouldnt need to spend an hour or so queueing up. you actually save time. im sure many of you already know that. so why?, whats the main reason. i have propositions. hmmm... is it because of the recent COE cut of 10%? people suddenly realise that they may not be able to drive at such a low cost anymore and thus they realised that their old EZ link cards had tons of money inside that needs to be transferred to the new one. i need to prove this conjecture but since 10% of people are less likely to travel in cars(based on the assumption that every one has access to a car) and there are 4.99million people living here now, there will be an increase of approximately 500000 people using public transport and divide that by 50 Mrt stations, assuming there are that many, there are average of 10k people that may be queing up since the cut of COE which is last friday. i hope that from now on there will be more busses and the public transport will come at more regular intervals now that we are being pushed to having less cars on the road. already in the mornings i see people squeezing their way up the bus. what will the situation be like few days or weeks from now, when the impact of increasing COE process will be felt. i just wonder. just wondering in my non-linear mind.

this is what you do when your too free

Atas you and me

Atas singaporeans are the bunch of people who are usually from english educated families or schools. They speak with an american/british accent most of the time. They tend... to be very bad at their mother tongue too. Atas people are usually outgoing and extremely friendly. They tend to not hang out with people who are not so fluent at english. Atas people are extremely picky when it comes to relationships. Usually, social and financial status are the main criteria for their choice of partners.
- quote facebook "what type of singaporean are you" quiz

well.i never heard of "atas" before yesterday. but ever since yesterday, i've been hearing it over and over. we were having dinner at crystal jade. jo, xq and i. jo called xq "atas" cause she said that ACS guys were known to be "atas" since a long time ago. we went huh? what's atas. so she explained that atas meant "rich and stuck up, something like that" so obviously, i started laughing although xq's nothing like "rich and stuck up". well, so much for laughing. today, i randomly pick a facebook quiz to do and guess what. i find out i'm "ATAS" too. whoa. 30 seconds later, jo does the same quiz and surprise surprise! she's ATAS too. pot calling the kettle black. oh well. i guess i've come to a conclusion that diffusion definitely occurs when you spend alot of time with some people. the question is, who began with the highest concentration.hmm. you see, the girl representing "ATAS" on the facebook quiz wore a shirt bearing the ACS crest..go figure ;)

the advantures of....

hey, this is the incredible hero that has been seen everywhere but yet does not stand out too much. heroic as he is, he respects people's privacy and observes. he observes how people eat, sleep, talk walk and interact. he understands the power of observation, one of his superpowers. his only other superpower is rather unique, the ability to blend in, like a chameleon, assassin etc. you will never know who your looking at, but he's looking at you. and hereby today, i declare the advantures of........

SUPERNORMAL!!!

careful from now, the birth of a real hero. your actions will be seen and thus blogged. being a nice guy he uses the blog to examplify so that people will learn from others and improve, the new Darwinism. this is how people evolve...... and remember...
