christmas is over. tomorrow will be the new year, and i'll be in sec3. the thought of new books, new clasmates, new teacher and new juniors, etc.. really makes me feel sick. argh, i seriously dun look forward to going back to school. God bless me!!

jus had lectors camp on 26-28 dec, quite fun lar.. jus dat kana pang seh-ed a couple of times.. oh wells, good thing i got Isis to tok to me. or else i would have rot at the camp. quite interesting, managed to grasp some reading skills and techniques. and learnt bridge. haha, learn gambling in a 'holy' camp eh.. actually bridge isn't exacly gambling lar, it's jus a mind boggling card game. haha.. quite fun lar, played bridge for lyk 7hours, from 11pm to 6am. lols, didn't really sleep much on 2nd night. sleep for lyk 2-3hours nia. but i've successfully learnt how to play bridge!! well, sort of..

den on 29-30 dec, was a nightmare. wad do u expect, go back school fro sec1 orientation preparation. wah lau, the moment i reach school, we were made to run 3 rounds around basketball court, wad crapp.. den we had to do pumping. whoa, before we even started training, we were already sweating lyk mad. and i mean mad. yupp, when we DID finally start on training, we tied the tripod. and tied square lashing, to be able to climb to the top. at first iw as scared, cos of the heights. den later, gradually, the fear lessened. phew.. the feeling was satisfying.

had a 1 1/2 hour lunch break. song man! went KFC, ate fried chicken.

the rest of the day went on as normal.. i don't wish to elaborate..

day 2.
we were made to render the punishment together wid the sec1s although we did not make any mistake.. so much for "one for all, all for one".. im really beginnning to detest this phrase. really! did half squat, I MEAN HALF squat.. squat lyk siao. den we did finish the tripod. yeah!!!

had lunch at Long John. it was quite a new found discovery, burger king was replaced by long john, guess BK wasn't doing very well bah. clara wong was lyk constantly asking for the crumbs, haha, and the guy at the counter was quite pissed wid us cos we were making so much noise and pestering him for crumbs.
oh ya.. one reminder, dun go to RM's MacDonald.. cos 1st: the machine , dunnow ad it's called, the one where when u sign up for the card you get 500 points dat card, is spoiled. 2nd: the machine for storing ice cream is also spoiled.

went back school, someone was late and we were made to do half squat AGAIN!! wad the.. thanks a lot man, sec1s. later they had to apologise to snrs. well, the worst thing was datw e sec2s also had to apologise. i mean, wad for! we did not even commit any mistake. yet, we rendered the same punishment, and now, they want us to put down our ego and say sorry for something we did not do. to me, wad i think is dat they're depriving us of the our pride. wad is this!

forget it. later we ahd to perform the skit to Ms Teh, for her approval. hahaha, guess wad she said, out movements were tooo robotic. you noe wad, i SO agree. the skit was abt a typical day in UG (uniform group) camp. and becos a typical day in UG camp IS robotic, dat's why our skit was robotic. cant blame us for our stiff movements wad. we gave them ad they demanded of us, dat was do everything that we are told to do. NO LIFE at all.

finally everything ended. we played murderer. so fun.. again on this, i do not wish to elaborate.

poor people who suffered the tsunami disaster. pray that God will bless them. right now listening to radio, death toll has risen from 60 000+, to 125 000+.. so sad right.

i realised that whenever i go for a camp, some thing bad would happen. lyk last time i went for sec2 adventure camp, the Nicoll Highway collapsed, den now i went for lectors camp, the tsunami occurred.

oh well..

yesterday went to Heartland mall, partly to go buy sch books, partly to bring my brothers n sister go see the ninja turtles show. [the one one kidscentral one] wah lau, the crowd was lyk crazy mann, so many ppl, i couldn't even see my feet while walking, haha, nvr seen heartland mall so lively before. cool. i oso saw mrs servos, she was probably wid her kids. wells, after a while, i went second floor, den third floor.. den went popular, wanted to enquire abt how to order my dear idol, Taufik's album, but all the ppl there were lyk so sua ku.. so it was a futile trip in the end. hahas, but i saw baby wong.. she bought printer ink, came wid a free Incredibles jack-jack notebook, I WANT!!! haha, but i was polite, =)) yupp, and i told her to keep it. den later went home eat diner.

went out again later in the night.. bookshop was closed, how to buy books??? so in the end went Compass Pt. first went to bank to deposit $$.. mwahahaha, $150 at one go.. shuang mann! hehe.. den went popular, bought the books, altogether abt $100++ but since the books are to be used for 2 yrs, it's worth it la.. ... ... scarriee... ... saw the chemistry, Chemistry Insights, something lyk dat, so damn thick can.. and heavy, so it occurred to me dat i should share loker wid aggie again next yr.. hahas, this time, rest assure i'll pay $15.. =p whoa, and physics was a killer as well.. not to mention A maths, all these 3 books, each of them is thicker than a dictionary can.. imagine lugging 3-dictionary size books to school alost everyday, can die can.. dat's why i say they're killers.. and when i skimmed thru the chem book, oh my gosh, i couldn't even understand a single thing, how!?!?! panic big time.. hope i can be ENLIGHTENED next year..

yeah, "... ... Eternal rest grant unto her oh Lord, and may perpatual light shine upon her, may she rest in peace... ..."
hahas, i've learnt it le!!!

in my mind
i can climb
all the mountain that surrounds me
my spirits there where eagles dare to fly

in my heart,
there's a spark
that can light the world around me
and open doors where i am sure dreams are

it doesn't matter if i win
or the colour of my skin
cause the race is all about believing in yourself

chorus:
and i dream
i can run like the wind
and be strong
when my heart just wants to give in
i dream i can be the hero that's in me
when i dream,
i dream

there's a time in ur life
when the odds are so against
you there's no defeat
if all u keep is pride

first or last
slow or fast
there's a dignity that makes u
keep driving on when the world's have come apart

it doesn't matter rich or poor
or the things u done before
cause the race is all about
believing in urself

chorus:
and i dream
i can run like the wind
and be strong
when my heart just wants to give in
i dream i can be the hero that's in me
when i dream,
i dream

17/12
today is hui min birthday.. we went Orchard wid hui min, rachel, wai sum and christianna. rachel had a new phone.. so jealous, 3220 one.. quite nice, cos at the side dere got light and stuff. as usual, we walked almost the whole of orchard lyk siao.. and never buy anything =p well, only rachel bought something la.. den we went to Lido. met anne, she was working, oso saw aniszah, gina, wen feng and vanessa. yupp, later i went back. i noe, boring..

18/12
went to malaysia today.. i thought it would be lyk last time, where all we did was window shopping, but in the end, i was wrong. my dad bought rm100 worth of DVDs, wah shiok man, can stay at home and watch, dun hafta waste money on movies.. hehe.. and i bought a bag, that's the most productive thing I did.. cut hair oso, i thought there was much difference.. but when i went back singapore, my dumb cousin kept on saying: "no, no diff at all.." aniwae, who cares, well, it looks much neater now!

19/12
went for 7.30 mass, was so tired, dunno why, maybe im not very used to waking up early nowadays. but homily was interesting (FOR ONCE!) den now it's in the afternoon, my siblings haf gone for a party downstairs, quite boring, so i came up, now inn my cousin's house. haha, quess wad, i heard my name got called out in the lucky draw, so lucky, first time, hehe.. just hope the prize isn't some tupperware or photo frame, ew, so boring.. it's true.. ok, gtg now..

today is quite meaningful la.. cos i went to canossaville children home, yea, and i was thinkin that it was gonna be some sort of children's home or some orphanage and stuff. but to my surprise. it was nothing like that. when we got there, there were no children outside the gates there. so we went in, and we saw all the children rehearsing a christmas play. wow, you should have seen how happie they were. doesn't seem lyk children wid sad family backgrounds at all. but i gotta admit some children were rather mischievous. but that's wad make it so fun, and it seems that they really like being there wid all the company that they have. then was lunch time, we all sat down and eat. you should see their conduct, really, after lunch, they stood up, washed their dishes, dried their dishes wid a cloth, and put it ack to the rack. really really good good kids.. haha, i hafta say.. den it was time for the play.. quite boliao la, i was narrator (now you noe why) but everything went on smoothly. soon it was their turn to perform their play for us. i've gotta say, their play is a hundred times betta than ours. they sang all the carols wid all their heart, and wow, you can really feel the high spirits of all the kids. it's not easy and they mus haf worked hard. kudos to the little kids!!!
sometimes i think, children wid broken families or busy parents, sent to these kind of children's home, they seem more bonded because they are not spoilt by their parents. take the example or a boy from the children home and a boy who is an only children that has rich parents. the rich boy would face his gameboy and trading cards all day and behaves very anti-social. however, the poor boy, left at the children home, has nothing to fascinate or entertain himself, and ends up playing with other kids to entertain himself. see the difference, the poor boy ends up being the more sociable one. so afterall, being in a children's home might not entirely be a bad thing, right? that is, if you look from another point of view.
it ended quite early i must say. after dat, my mum brought me n my sis to ang mo kio POSB bank. for wad? to make an ATM card.. mwahaha, im so happy, i suddenly feel so grown up. hehe, took lyk 45mins, cos the bank was closing and the crowd was big.
=) yesterday jacqueline foo called me, haha, she got the EAGLES award. I was lyk... huh? you got the EAGLES? how can? i didn't get leh.. okok, i dun mean to be so bad. den i told her i havent check my letterbox for a few days le, so i went down to see. true enough... haha, i got eagles as well.. haha, so happy, at least got some achievement thru out my 2 yrs in npcc. at least it didn'y go down the drain. well, eunice is in aussie, so she havent check mail, i think she oso have.. haha. im so happy...

Hahahaha.. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! ! ! muackz!!! lol..

ahhhhhhh... feel so much more satisfied with this new template.. at least not so childish.. haha.. im so happie, found a template with my favourite song. yeah!!! mus say thanks to yue ying, for helping her darlin senior change. yup, i think the boy look very poor thing, guess he must haf fallen off his bike, that's why. =D
a couple of reasons why i'm happie today. one of them is cos i changed my template, second is cos me mum just told me good news. haha, she said if i continue working for her till the rest of the month, she'll gif me 100 bucks. whoa, im so happie!!! but can't afford to splurge la, cos it's considered quite little. ai ya, dunno wad to write le, shall stop here.

What's the big fuss about Singapore Idol? Isn't it stated very, extremely clearly that Taufik Batisah is ALREADY crowned the Singapore Idol. No doubt He Sings VERY WELL.

ok. enough. this topic is on its way to extinction. Period. NO more say on it.

ok, let's see.. sooo many things happened.

It started on las saturday. 04/12.

went for church camp. reported at 8am and they started only at 9.30. wow, wad a short wait.
anyway, we played ice-breaker games, and i can tell you, everyone was lyk stoning. you look atme, i look at you. only our 2 facils were talking. well, wad do you expect right?

then we set off for our scavenger hunt. quite lame la, we had to go all around hougang to hunt for stuff, lame stuff, and we ended up at Hougang. haha, we had to find things lyk 10 strands of white hair, so offensive right, to that person whom we got the white hair from. and we had to find a credit card. we obviously couldn't find it coz all of us were literally broke. however, me, the genius, came up with a brilliant idea. haha, the thought of it makes me laugh. in the end we went to OCBC bank and took a brochure, then tear our a credit card from the brochure. .... ... ... fine, not funny, but it was really funny then.

let me recall, wad were some of the things. one very difficult-to-find item was an 8-days magazine. we combed the whole hougang central saloons and clinics but could not find a single 8-days magazine. good thing we met one of our frens and she bought for us. (we were oso not allowed to bring money to buy the items) run and run and run.. but ended up 4th. that's bad, cos there were only 6 groups.

haiz, then after lunch was water games, wad can i say, the facils were using chin chow and bandung and worst of all, coffee in plastic bags to splash us. ewww, so sticky in the end. good thing only legs kana, i cant imagine if the whole body gets soaked in coffee. so wet, there was soap, shampoo, those drinks i mentioned earlier on and wad have you. loads of fun though.

at night we had praise and worship session. so fun, jump and jump around. after that was some race. i forgot wad was it called. aniwae, you should be able to imagine, a race was bad enough, now it's in the dark, within a church with 150 years history, whoa, that's way way worse. for my group, it was really sad case, cos we were misled. there was an error somewhere and we sort of had to start from scratch. but facils on the away helped us big time. so it made life easier for us. well, i made a new discovery, the area next to the sacristy is haunted, that's wad all altar boys say, and we kinda witnessed it ourselves. goodness, so haunted and dark.
finally ended. haha, we were all to tired to bathe, so we ended up sleeping in our sticky clothes.

next day,was the real amazing race, from hougang ave10 all the way to ave 2. no public transport for your info.
well, we didn't bathe, cos we knew we would get sweaty during the race. so ya..
im so happy, we ended up third this time. though it isn't any top position, im glad we did improve. this is called team work! :)

lunch time, we were all looking forward to it.cos everyone was so hungry, nasi lemak, and it was really very lemak. but everyone still eat, cos.. you noe why...

den we finally got to bathe, wah!!! really had a good good bath. not sweaty anymore. nice.
when everyone was done, it was prize giving. we were... 3rd. not so bad la. haha, mus an wei zi ji..

went for mass, went home.. slept at 8.30pm.
ihatethatbitch



then came monday, 06/12.
went for SANA course. i was so reluctant to wake up. but had to cos it's thru this course then i can earn my SANA badge. so force myself to wake up.
the course was soooooo boring, but for the sake of my badge, cannot don't want. yes, but hold on. it's only 2 days. it's nothing right! well, 2 lectures in a roll, one lecture b4 lunch, one after lunch. it couldn't haf been more boring than that.

DAY 2 07/12
las day, las day!! my grp was supposed to perform a skit. wah heng ar, we volunteered ourselves to be the second group to perform. anxiety was soon over after that. but honestly, the other 16 skits were rather boring. I think ours was the best. :) hahah ooh, one more thing, i passed the SANA course written test. well actually, all of us pass. im so happie, one step closer to earning that badge.

yipee!!!!!


09/12
finally met you!!! haha, not so tall, not so short la. normal.. first time la, i was lyk mute lor.. hehe, so sorrie. walk and walk and walk, from dhoby ghaut, to somerset. ooh, i finally noe that meridien hotel actually lies between plaza sing and centrepoint, yea yea, im so sua ku. and i also finally noe that the "control station is in the INSIDE of the MRT. please dun call me stupid, although i am. haha, thanks ar! walk all the way to cine, where a finally found lao die they all.

we walked out of cine cos there was no nice show to watch. we wanted go lido. den halfway, 3 of them wanted go taka shopping (even tho they knew they could not afford anything).. so laodie, serene and i went lido to see if there were good movies.
Disappointment! nothing to watch, i wanted to watch saw, but they don't want, so we ended up shopping downstairs, oh my goodness, it was so boring, you don't noe how boring it was. then we walked out. walked in and out of all the nike shops, adidas shops, Fila shops, puma, ripcurl, quiksilver, roxy, Fox, stussy shops, and came down to one conclusion, we were too broke for anything. yup. well, i need a wallet. i saw one adidas one, not very expensive, almost wanted to buy, but i found out that sharon as an identical one. haiz, so in the end i gave it a miss.
oh, i found out something. paul frank is ugly. haha, very ugly. that dumb monkey, haha, elizabeth's boyfren.
we walked out of pacific plaza wid our heads down. we went DFS, so see only. whoa, you won't believe how much one small box of chocs cost. i guess you won't wanna guess either. it's 40 bucks. dat's daylight robbery for us locals, but to those japs, it was jus small fry. oh ya, and those small cans of tiger balm, they were selling 6 cans for $22, wah lau, i could easily get one can for $1.50, and here they are paying more than double. anyway, that's how the government earn money right. our singapore government is smart. brilliant.

den we went fareast. serene wanted to go cafe and sit. and she wanted open air. haiz, we walked out and went to those open-air cafes. she and laodie ordered iced coffee to quench thirst. but ended up more thirtsy. haha, one small cup cost 5 bucks and their hearts were aching after they drank. so sad... i pity my fellow "cafe-mates", good thing i was smart, didn't buy, cos i had a bad bad experience before... ...

we went back to heeren to look for the 3 of them. they went back, so me alodie serene went take neoprints. eh.. i think it was ugly, cos of my SPASTICATED face. after dat we went home. tired..

readbetweenthelines

I am right now in the ofiice. yupp, where else can I be other than the office.. let's see, it's 1.14pm and it's lunch time. But i have yet to go for lunch. and im surprisingly not hungry, tho i ate breakfast at 8. that's a good sign.

it's quite relaxing today. eunice is saying, "you have nothing else betta to rite izzit?" and the answer from me is "yes". it's boring, the office is so quiet cos there's no phone calls and we no longer need to encounter those horrid gatekeepers. and I'm too lazy to go down for lunch altho lunch hour will be over soon.

lyk I was saying, it's actually very relax today.just checked some webbies for company names and stuff, and Im still thinkin abt Taufik and his win.

He didn't seem to win anything other than the "Singapore Idol" title. same as sylvester, both got the artiste records contracts and also the BMG records contract. by the way, the BMG contract thing is actually for the winner, and guess wad! the ppl in charge of the BMG contract thing were expecting Sly to win.oh please open your eyes WIDE la, how can this act cool buay cool guy be our singapore idol. well, I do noe of some, i dont wish to say names, some ppl who are racists. and although they cant stand sylvester, they would rather vote for sylvester than the malay, taufik. wad is this!!! so much for our singapore pledge: "... regardless of RACE, LANGUAGE OR RELIGION..."If there are racists in Singapore, wad's the point of a "multi-racial" country??? defeats the purpose and meaning of our so-called "multi-racial" country right.

and tok wad crapp, wanna introduce sylvester into the chinese music industry. someone please tell slyvester to reflect or something lyk that. oh my goodness, slyvester, being a chinese, cant even speak proper mandarin. I'm not saying this because im bias or whatsoever. I saw this morning chinese news, "zhao an ni hao", yupp, coincidentally switched to channel8. then i saw the hot topic to the town, the two idol finalists, being interviewed on yesterday's final showdown. yupp, then they asked slyvester first... well, you should have seen how slyvester replied, he was literally blabbing broken-mandarin, and at the same time a bit of english. well, from my point of view, he's a disgrace to us chinese. maybe the directors of BMG records should reconsider abt giving sly this contract. good thing they didn't wan to introduce sly into the english-music industry. his english is, wad can i say, Atrocious for one thing sure.i sill remember when he sang "I swear", Florene Lian said, "you were singing the chinese-version of I swear" this goes to show that sly's performance is actually mediocre and he's niether here nor there. sings neither well in english songs nor chinese songs. when he sang An Jing, cannot even hear the lyrics! oops, i forgot, Zhou Jie lun's songs can never be heard, or sung clearly.

but, taufik is different! he excels in both english songs and malay songs. yes, please agree with me.and he has the X-factor as well.

but then again, maybe not all Singaporeans are racists I must admit. i saw the 5 girls wearing the white bridal clothers wid banners saying "marry me taufik".. goes to show that taufik actually oso has ARDENT CHINESE fans.

okok, shall stop now. Im going back to work..

Ciao~
