Goodbye livejournal, it has been fun knowing you. |

| Unprepared! |
[Jun. 25th, 2010|07:12 pm] |
So school starts in 2 days (not counting today). So. Not. Prepared.
This June hols have really gone by like the blink of an eye (no surprise) but it has been sort of long because of the whole routine of eat sleep study watch tv. I hardly went out this whole month. Except for the first two weeks. But it wasn't the kind like go out everyday and then home late. Well it was only once for the class gathering (which was a huge success! WOOHOO). Anyway, quite screwed for BT2 I am very very very scared. How to meet min C targets!!
Anyway, just came on to type about Sumiko Tan, the Straits Times editor. I so knew that she was going to be together with that guy! I was really happy when I read the article today. So happy for her. Yes I know for a complete stranger!
& Knight and Day was awesome. Go watch it people! |

| Because I'm not going to let you affect me |
[Apr. 30th, 2010|09:15 am] |
I'm stuck at home sick! :( But I'm going for bio mock spa later and then sit around and slack with zenia for training but we're going to do something constructive while slacking (but I can't say what).
I'm going to learn not to care about how you treat me anymore. But all I have and want to say is that that isn't the way to treat a friend that you claim is "important to you". So I'm not going to let you affect me.
Okay study bio spa time! :S |

| The Perfect Plan |
[Apr. 4th, 2010|07:32 pm] |
|
I've been spending the whole weekend requesting for prospectus from various UK, Canada and Aus universities. At the rate me and mabel are going, I think we're going to have the whole UK covered. It'll be so cool when they start to arrive one by one by one by one. Exciting. But then again, no point requesting all these prospectus when my results are like shit. I'm predicting straight D's. A confirmed D is math, which I expected so not too affected by it. The worst one is chem, I totally did not expect it and I thought maybe I can count on it to get me at least a B or an A. But that's all gone now, unless by some miracle I did superbly well for section D which is impossible. So, nevermind about BT1 results. I've devised a plan. By BT2, minimum Cs, by prelims, minimum Bs. Then my predicted grades will be nice enough - As - and perhaps universities will offer me conditional offers and the real A levels, I get my As. Perfect plan eh. Okay now I got to go study and meet those goals! (: |

| This is an awesome life |
[Mar. 25th, 2010|02:14 pm] |
The weather so perfect, the house so quiet, the music so good.
This is the good life.
Cancelled training cause we were too lazy to get our asses down to school (okay me anyway). The rain is perfect please don't stop the rain!! Oh wait, no cannot, must stop else I wouldn't want to step out of the house later. In fact I'm actually very lazy. Today was supposed to be filled with activity but, it's bum around day today. Perfect (: Caught 2 episodes of gilmore girls from season1 and MUSICCCC. So good. My library looks a little bit happier now. |
|
|
| I think I'm going to get a D or E because I couldn't do D.E. |
[Mar. 24th, 2010|11:30 pm] |
LIBERATED LIBERATED LIBERATED.
I feel so happy. Like a huge load off my shoulders.
But seriously, this time around the results are going to be like shit when it comes back and I doubt I'll get any A and I might even fail math. (it's such a FML moment) Today's math paper totally felt like a bio paper. I always have no feeling when it comes to bio paper cause they always put it with econs and (surprise surprise!) I focus more on econs. So today's math, I just sat there and took my time to figure out how to use the GC to solve definite integrals and the series/summation question and I'm happy to report I was successful. (I think I'm quite good with electronic devices! HAHA) So anyway, Math is screwed, so is Bio and Chem and Econs. SO FML!!!
Everyday this week I've been sleeping around 1+/2am. So I am horribly sleep deprived. (hence the incoherent-ness of this whole post. Then again, most of my posts are all over the place. I always have so much I want to blog about, but I end up not typing them out just because I can't get them sorted out in my head.) I told myself I should sleep early today but I think it's a sure-fail plan.
So anyway after math today, Qian came over to my house then we just played computer and ate while waiting for Zenia to finish. Walked from school to house and walked back to school again after. Self-trained, practiced my bowling. Then headed to town to meet mumsy. Waited for my mother as she took her time (like she always does) and finally left at around 5 and went to Ion. Then I stayed at Titanium for almost an hour because my mother had to go back and do something and she left me there. And me being me, I just stayed there and walked around the whole shop. Thank goodness it's so huge that I can spend almost one hour there. Bought The Time Traveler's Wife!! (: Wanted to get Boyzone and a love songs compilation but didn't. Oh well, next time perhaps. Then UNIQLO!! (: two tank tops and two shorts. Dinner, PRAWN NOODLES OMG LOVE. Then walked a bit more and found a new shop (okay, not new but first time I walked into it!) I was talking to my aunt on the phone, then I saw the shirts that I've been looking for, then straight into the shop I went! Bought two other tops! HAHA, okay I feel so guilty now especially since my marks are going to be damn shitty. NO MORE SHOPPING (for clothes) FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR! Hahah like that's going to actually happen D:
Okay, I feel so free and I have so much activities planned out for the next few days. Tomorrow, GP tuition in the morning, then self-training in the afternoon-ish, then to the museum I go (to visit the mummies again). Friday, maybe movie date @ my house with Qian then training in the afternoon then dinner with the parents. Saturday, match with seniors then dinner with the parents!! (: Sunday, band concert! And then it's back to school on Monday. D: But it's so cool I feel so happy. But I think it's going to make me even more tired having to run here and there everywhere. I need to repay my sleep debt!! D:
Okay, peace out. I'm going to watch my movies. Time Traveler's Wife, Win A Date With Tad Hamilton, Final Destination, etc. |

| A Very Vague Title |
[Mar. 19th, 2010|11:10 pm] |
| [ | feeling |
| |  touched | ] |
Today is the last day of the holidays. I don't count weekends cause you know, they are weekends and weekends are weekends. Well today, finally got out of the house (not because I wanted to but because I had to but I don't mind it a single bit). Service learning today. It was awesome. I love working with children. Reminds me of childcare days! D: (I don't mind working with elderly, but it gets tough when there's the language/dialect barrier) Children they are easy to work with just because. I actually wanted to blog about a lot of things - today was extremely eventful - but I'm too lazy (and in the end I'll probably won't type anything about it anymore). But all I wanted to say was service learning was extremely fun and I enjoyed every single moment of it (even though I was tired after the first half and some things just didn't seem right with me) but the children were wonderful and I'm definitely going to go back someday. The children were wonderful and there's this girl she's so sweet, she came over and hugged me. (I was super shocked, I thought she wanted to use my camera again) That really made my day (considering how sad/disappointed/irritated I was because of a different story altogether), she's so sweet.
Other than that, screw block tests.
I can't take it anymore. |

| Because I have no life |
[Mar. 18th, 2010|09:16 am] |
I am about to kill myself for still sitting here, when it's almost 9am, the time I'm supposed to start studying. But then again, I deserve a break. (It's like an internal conflict inside my head) I freaking slept at 3am this morning. BUT IT FEELS GOOD. Except when I wake up at 8am, because I set my alarm, I find out that I've only had five hours of sleep. Then I think about all those articles that talked about how sleeping less can result in increased health problems. FML.
I think I'm super dead this month. I can just imagine my handphone bill when it comes sometime next week. The sms-es part will be WOW. I predict impending nagging and scolding and everything else. Which is so stupid, limiting me when I have unlimited. Another reason why my life sucks. Everyday the usual sms-es go to QIAN & MABEL. And it's like back and forth back and forth I lost track of the approximate number I sent out for this month. In the day, messages will go to Qian. In the night and into the wee hours of the morning, it will go to Mabel and the sms-es are super long cause we're discussing everything and anything. <3
Let's think of excuses that I can perhaps use when I explain to my parents why I sent out over 2000+ sms-es this month:
- "I have to ask my friends how to do the questions!" ("How come they know and you don't know how to do??")
- "My friends ask my stuff" ("What's there to ask?")
- "Mass send to class information" (which I didn't and I can't lie, so this excuse should be strike off)
- "I stay up so late to study, then no one talk to me to keep me awake, the whole house so quiet so I sms my friends" (then they will counter it with then what's your iPod and the speakers for??)
- "Because I miss my friends" ("Don't be crazy, you just saw them yesterday")
Okay, I ran out of excuses. As you can already perhaps see, that those excuses won't work. I feel like I'm doing what Mr Chua always tells us we shouldn't do. Make our counter argument so weak that it's so easy to rebutt. But, I'm just making my arguments so easy to counter. (It didn't take me very long to think of those counters, but then again, maybe it's cause I've heard those replies before.) Another reason why my life sucks and I can't wait for my parents to send me away away away, but then I'll be so so so homesick. But then that's another story altogether.
So currently, I have no life except to study like crap. (lucky there's service learning tomorrow - I need to get out of the house) Staying in it for one whole day - I haven't included today - is enough to kill me. Okay, I exaggerate. But staying at home = having to face the books and the temptation of the laptop!! Argh. Actually I don't know why I'm studying so hard when I know I'll never finish the topics for this BT1 (so basically, I'm screwed).
Time Check: 9.08am!!!! SHIT.
Time to eat breakfast and decide what to study.
Note to self: Sleep earlier (not early) tonight/tomorrow morning. Crap have to be up by like 6.30am
I can't even go for AE on saturday because then I'd feel so guilty! D: On the bright side of life, after BT1, the whole weekend is packed with activities! :D I CAN'T WAIT. Plus I only have 3 days of papers! :D
After Math BT, I'm going to come home and sleeeeep to make up for all the lost sleep, get down to watching Across The Universe (which is still in the drawer) and go shopping!! And make more birthday cards! April's got too many birthdays!
It's getting easier to forget you, but I'm afraid of that one move that puts me back to square one. |

Today was the release of the A Level Results. I got back chinese. The wait was freaking terrible. (The school refused to release our chinese results till 3pm) But, I'm happy, no need to retake. But now comes a problem. I need to NOT feel complacent and continue to work hard. (I always have the problem of getting complacent and then everything goes downhill for me; I SHALL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. I mustn't)
Next result: PW (probably in April)
Till then, it's time to study for block tests. Argh, the process is very brain-draining. So much information to absorb and reabsorb.

www.gap.com/browse/category.do
GAP's new line of clothes for this season is really pretty.
I went down to search for the checked shirts but I came up empty. Only saw those on he guys side. Bought the washed chambray shirt. (they didn't have the charcoal one!! Sad case) Mum says it doesn't make me look so thin therefore she bought it for me. Sheeeesh.
The Perfect Black Blazer is to die for.

London Universities talk tomorrow. Oh wait, it's later already.
Then after that continue studying till I go crazy. |

| Cause I want it that way |
[Mar. 4th, 2010|02:33 pm] |
This is really unbelievable. I freaking ended at 1pm today and now I'm at home!! (: We rearranged the whole timetable and pushed up all our lessons and therefore I'm at home now. This is exciting.
Yesterday was cross country (I think it's the last I'll ever have, hopefully there isn't any in university - wait I doubt there is) jogged+walked with sherly, using lamp posts as targets to start and stop running. Then SCALYY outing, went to watch Dear John! (: It was awesome, Channing was damn good. I think Amanda Seyfried was quite okay too. Luckily they made it a happy ending (unlike the book). And Sherly's still laughing at me cause I cried and reached for my tissue (to blow my nose). HIAZZ. Watch me instead of the movie. I think this show was way better than Valentine's day movie. (Come to think about it, I think V-day movie kind of sucked. All the hype just because of the big actors all coming together in the movie.)
Sunday was BACKSTREET BOYS! (:
Backstreet's back alright!! It was okay lah, but it was better in 2006 (their Nevergone tour) held at the indoor stadium. They sang a number of their old hits and quite a number from their latest album "This Is Us". I got the sense of satisfaction when they sang their new songs cause majority of the people didn't know the lyrics. Hiaz, such fans. Everyone sang along to the old songs (of course) but then can tell a lot of people didn't know the new songs. They ended with "I want it that way" (esther keeps calling it "tell me why") & "Straight Through My Heart" for encore. No more Suntec Convention Hall concerts for me. Unless I get like the front row tickets (which will cost a lot). Bought a shirt that says Backstreet Boys and it has a heart with the words "straight through my heart" <3 Wanted the bag but then it was all snatched up D:
Tomorrow's supposed to be Service Learning Day, but we're not doing our SL tomorrow so we kind of have the day off. But we have to go back to collect our A level chinese results! D: I'm damn scared. I hope it's either an A or C/D/E. If it's a B it will be terrible, but I think I'm most likely retaking? If PW get A then chinese B, I'm definitely retaking. But the whole process of having to retake oral just puts me off! Argh, I hate being tested on Chinese Oral - especially the reading of passages cause that's where you're NOT supposed to screw up. OKAY SHALL HOPE FOR THE BEST. Going to study in school in the morning with the friends then collect results and go home I guess. Influx of seniors in the noon time I predict.
ALL THE BEST IF YOU'RE RECEIVING YOUR RESULTS! (: |

Today sucks. Really. (I'm sitting in the school's computer lab typing this while waiting for time to fly by) Let's see, launching of TEAM SAJC, math lecture (with vectors I don't get at all), then PE, where we had to run non-stop for 20 minutes, then had a few minutes of Captain's ball where esthercheok and I collided. She's luckier. Damn. If full fledged blueblack tomorrow, I'm going to pon school! (But there's AMC and cricket! Oh bother) Chem was the redeeming factor. It was actually fun. Must.. Start. Studying. Soooon.
It's only 2:39 now. There's still at least 50 more minutes. (And I'm just typing nonsense while there are two very hardworking people beside me doing homework)
My February planner looks damn pretty. It's all filled up and full of things. But not all are checked. So, bummer. So much to catch up on.
WOOHOO BACKSTREET BOYS ON SUNDAY.

Caught Valentine's Day with Mabel and Zenia on Friday. It's was alright, not too fantastic. I guess it's because of the number of characters. But I loooooved Anne Hathaway's character together with Topher Grace. And Ashton Kutcher (:
I think I might try and catch Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief tomorrow.
I'mm blog in detail on the previous days tomorrow or something. (If I have the mood and the time) |

[Jan. 29th, 2010|11:04 pm] |
Boys Like Girls was yesterday and it was loud. You know, like boomz. (hurhur) Went with Anita! (: It was awesome and I'm partially deaf and blind now (we were near the speakers, and the lights are WOW) Uploading the videos onto youtube and photos are on FB already! (:
This week went by very fast. The J1s are now in and it's still orientation for them (I remembered how I hated the whole idea of orientation because I'm not exactly the type that likes such things). Goodbye to empty breaks and hello to mayhem.
Tuesday was elearning - went to send Sasha off, but then I guess we're starcrossed lovers - we didn't get to see each other D: I damn sad.
Training this week was pretty good. Wednesday was good because I was pretty pissed and sad so I just hit the ball really hard (: Today was tiring, but at least we had the whole gym to ourselves to do whatever we wanted. Hmm, then played match which was epic fail on the astrofield. Went over the the semi-D afterwards and it was much better. I think I should stick with wicket-keeping (: Stressful, but at least I don't have to bowl.
Oh well, we shall wait and see what happens tomorrow shall we. I'll decide what my next step will be from there. |

| I'm supposed to e-learn... (damn) |
[Jan. 26th, 2010|05:57 pm] |
Today is elearning day and its time to slack in front of the computer and listen to lectures at home. This is way more productive, no sarcasm intended. (5 May 2009)
This was what I wrote during last year's elearning day. This year, I beg to differ. I spent so much time in front of the computer doing nothing. The internet is so distracting! Argh. I think last year's lectures were way more effective? I don't even get what we're supposed to do for maths - the instructions are so unclear and there is no way I how how to fill up the lecture notes. The only thing I did today was bio and a little econs. Chem was already taught during tutorials so just have to study it myself and then do up the worksheet (which I haven't printed). Argh so sleepy already how am I going to stay awake tonight to do work! D: Argh Argh Argh.
Tomorrow's going to be a long day especially with Cricket and all. (die tomorrow got GP me thinks)
Sasha's leaving tonight and I haven't got the chance to pass her my beautifully made card D: I guess I'm going to have to send it to her in australia and hope she gets it soon D: I'll miss you a lot!! :'(
Those two/three days were a blur. It was surreal. Can you please let me know if it was true, it it even happened. I could be just reading too much into things right? (Please tell me otherwise cause I wish for/want it to be real) |

Argh, some person is smoking upstairs and I'm breathing in all the stupid second hand smoke!!
Tomorrow marks the last day of the first week of the 2010 school year! It's a great milestone okay. I think I've never hated going to school before. But now, I just feel so lazy and tired to get up so early in the morning and bring myself to school then stay all the way till so late. D:
At least my timetable doesn't suck that much. We don't end late on too many days. But throw in CCA and extra lessons, it's a whole different story. Yesterday was open house = slacky day at school and early dismissals and just lectures! (:
Cricket doesn't start till next week, after MSAs (which I'm so dead for) and I'm so unfit that I think I probably can't run/do pushups/ and all the physical training. SOS!
Rushing my GP portfolio now because I have to pass up something tomorrow. I planned to do econs today but fail of course.
I don't know why we are doing what we're doing, but it's driving me crazy and I don't know what to expect anymore. |

| & the quest for immortality |
[Jan. 9th, 2010|12:34 am] |
School is starting in let's see.. two days. Okay maybe one day, depends on how you see it I guess. Received the timetable from Qian by sms, and we freaking have GP on monday, dieee. I never do my portfolio. I started, but it never saw an ending. And we freaking end at 5pm. What a great way to start day 1 of the school term. Thanks a lot. But good thing is we end at 1pm on tuesday, but we have Cricket meeting for openhouse prep. I can't fathom what time we'll end on the other days. I'm hoping there will be a lot of admin work to settle on monday (like the whole entire day), and teachers will waste a bit of time and telling us what they expect of us and yadayada (I need a wake up call and to buy more time to not start yet) else it'll be a horrible case of monday blues with first day blues! So anyway, I'll leave this to sunday to worry about.
Did absolutely nothing on friday (since it's saturday now). Woke up in the morning, went online then got ready to go meet mumsy at her shop, went to eat at SMU subway, then we were off to the National Museum of Singapore for the Quest for Immortality!! It was quite cool, plus it was my first time in the National Museum of Singapore (in my defense, I never knew it existed, but I've been to ACM, the stamp museum and I've seen SAM). The Museum is now my favourite place! It's so peaceful and quiet and so pretty.
Then went in and out of the museum cause mumsy had something to do, but in the end, we went back again and then headed to Cathay, mumsy wanted scones, but it was full (we didn't want to sit outside) so I convinced her to go down to Yakun. Headed back to the shop, with the hopes of still making it back on time to catch my 530pm show (LOVE @ ZERO DEGREES with ELVIN NG and RUIEN) but I got cheated and ended up staying there till almost 6pm. Luckily, my mumsy said that we might as well stay out since it's so late already, so I made her bring me to ION. But went to collect BLG tickets first, then went to MadeWithLove to get some materials cause it was closed on wednesday for stocktake. Then headed to ION, and spent money at BodyShop again! (Qianying, I did not spend $90++ again okay). Then dinner (it was so beef-y) and headed home.
Okay, I should go sleep around now since there's tuition in a few hours. Oh bother, I didn't do my homework. Gosh. D: |

</lj-embed>Backstreet Boys - INCOMPLETE!
</lj-embed>Backstreet Boys - STRAIGHT THROUGH MY HEART!!
(I love their synchronized moves and all! - this video in particularr)
I'm like watching the Backstreet Boys live at last year's F1! It was so awesome, I can't believe I couldn't be there. The fact that they were performing at the wrong place when I was there and how I had Math Final Exams the day after they performed, on the Sunday race day! Ohman!! I doubt they are coming anytime soon since they came last year for F1. But please BSB, come (if you must) after A levels, so I can go guilt-free! Ugh, they are soooooo awesome.
Oh yes, I am going for Boys Like Girls with Anita! (: Her dad is so awesome he allowed her! YES!!! Okay, MUST. GET. TICKETS. SOON. Must not let it run out like Jason Mraz D: Okay, by this week I must get them!! First standing concert! (:
But somehow, I feel that it will never beat Backstreet Boys no matter how good they are going to be. It being my first concert I ever attended and all, and where the love affair with backstreet boys actually began (OMG I STILL HAVE THE NEVER GONE TOUR SHIRT SOMEWHERE). |

| We're alright on the surface, that's for sure |
[Jan. 3rd, 2010|12:53 am] |
Well, that was depressing. But I guess it doesn't really matter anymore. On the surface we're fine, no one suspects anything unless we tell them, but deep down we know that there's a problem, but we aren't going to fix it are we. There's just too much things to deal with and everything's built up from day one. So, hopefully, we'll find the time to talk things over and perhaps find a way out of this mess. But I can tell you it won't be easy since we've become so judgmental as the days go by, different perspectives as the hours go by and there's of course the stubbornness that everyone has. Well, I think the real problem started when I realized how you treated me as a friend. How I always there for you, listening to you pour out your woes, but you weren't always there for me, and even if you were, you didn't really pay attention or just glanced out of the window and watch things go by or we go by things. I don't know if you realized, but it was there and then I started to drift away from you. Somewhere, sometime in that year, I lost that faith I had in you. Sure, surface everything's fine. But it always never is and will never be until we try to fix it...
Okay, I feel better now. |

I don't want 2010 to come (even if it's in a matter of minutes and even if I have no power at all to stop it from coming) I just hope that it won't be so soon. But sadly, it can't be helped D:
---
Last night, or rather this morning, I was conversing with Zenia through SMS; we both don't want 2010 to come D:
(an excerpt of our exchange, I just left out some mundane stuff about us discussing the lack of work we did)
1211 Zenia: One more day in 2009
1218 Me: OMG JUST KILL ME NOW
1220 Zenia: Kill you. Stab you.
1224 Me: Ah, last day crap, Zenia, I DAMN SCARED! 8 lives left. Continue playing?
1228 Zenia: OMG, don't stress me. I think Next year I am going to jump down the building.
1252 Me: Please pull me along when you jump. You jump, I jump and all. But please prepare some cushions to cushion my fall. AH!!!
1254 Zenia: Mad! I must at least see Nicholas Jonas and give him a kiss. Haha. Night. Sleep. Tired.
1003 Me: STOP STEALING MY MAN. HAHAHA! The book I'm reading now is best friend stealing best friend's fiance. How coincidental.
NICK JONAS IS MINE YOU DON'T STEAL!!! I don't care about your Plan A&B. You have Zac already!!! HAHAHA (:

2010 in a couple of minutes.
New Year resolutions:
- SMS less
- Use less internet
- Procrastinate less (this isn't very possible, trust me it has been on my list since forever)
- STUDY MY ASS OFF (I. Have. To. Get. Straight. As.)
- Start uni applications soon
- Be daring/bold/brave/less self conscious etc.
- (this year I have to add this) KEEP NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS!!!
- SAVE LOADS OF MONEY TO PARTY POST As/IB WITH SASHA/ZENIA/MABEL/HAZEL/SCALY/PLC
Okay, I shall keep my list short, so I have less things to keep track of. Of course I'll have more I want to include, but I'll just leave it in my head. |

Okay, like every other year before 2009, I've always done my thank you's here in this LJ of mine. But this year, I thought I'd do it differently. I sent them out! (I apologise if you didn't get yours because I did them way too late and there wasn't enough time for me to rush out everything cause I had to study + help my mum at her shop!) But thank you to you and you and you and you (if you actually read my lj/fb notes) if you've been a part of my life this year!!
Just got back from Taka (okay scratch that, it was a few hours ago). Finally bought my shoes! KEDS! Instead of Converse. Thank goodness. I didn't conform! HAHAHA (I'm sorry, I always told myself never to get converse because everyone has it and a few days ago, I was this close to getting a pair that cost a whopping $149.90) The Keds were so much cheaper and they even had 40%discount!! So it turned out to be only $35. GREAT SAVINGS. (thank goodness, else I would have never lived with the fact that my parents would actually get me that converse shoes) And since we were at Ngee Ann City, went to Kino (as usual) and got myself a book! Something Borrowed - seems like a nice read-to-be. There's a sequel - Something Blue.
Tomorrow's New Year Eve. Okay, wait. It is already New Year Eve. I just can't grasp the fact that it is 2010 tomorrow! It's going to be a hectic year and everything will be breathing down my neck. A levels, invitationals, SATs, tests, exams, Uni applications, deciding what to major/what to study in the U/where to go/why i should go there and all other nonsense.
2010 WILL BE EPIC SUCCESS (IT HAS TO BE!) |

[Dec. 25th, 2009|11:35 pm] |
I'm too tired to type about christmas and christmas eve.
But, all the same, Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you had a great day.
Orchard Road was an utter nightmare.
I could have died of claustrophobia.

First and foremost, BOYS LIKE GIRLS IS COMING TO SINGAPORE OMGOMGOMGOMG. I am so there. (I want/hope/long/wish/pray)
Acquired a lot of music last week - Lady Gaga, Parachute, OneRepublic, Owl City, We The Kings, Plain White T's, A Rocket To The Moon, Honor Society and many many more. Transferred music onto the Mac, some got lost along the way, so I have way less music files than what I actually have. Synced ipod with Mac, so it's like brand new now, with a lot of space available since I deleted all my podcasts and videos and photos. It actually feels pretty empty now.
I swear, researching on information on universities is the worst thing to research on the internet. I have no idea where or what to research on. How in the world am I supposed to know how to research how they teach their students etc. ARGH, OKAY I THINK IT'S JUST ME AND I HATE RESEARCH D: I think I should just leave it to my mom to help me, but she's always so busy so I shall enlist Mabel's help!! UK/USA/AUS/SG. The four options. I really want to go away but I'm afraid of going there alone and having to feel all homesick and sad and alone. UK&USA is way too far away from Singapore. At least AUS (melbourne's most probably where I'll end up if I go there) I have Sasha and Michelle there and it's just 7-8 hours away from Singapore. I don't want to stay in Singapore because I want to experience studying overseas and perhaps be more independent, have new experiences, travel, have more international friends, and just grow up and take care of myself. But Singapore's just so tempting, I have everyone near me and I can just meet up with everyone anytime (okay, minus busy schedules and all but you know what I mean) Actually, I didn't consider USA till recently (because of their rules on guns and stuff) I'm still quite hesitant on USA, plus it's so far away away away. But I've read Eve's sister's blog, (she's in Cornell) and it sounds quite interesting. If I go there I can go visit Femy too! And Hollywood and NYC etc. But UK's still my first choice. But it's so far away and it's always so cold. For UK, I think it's either London or Scotland, though Wales looks quite good too. Oh gosh, I wish I can spend my whole life traveling to different countries just to study in different universities. Okay enough university ramblings. (all because I just signed up for my SATs)
Argh, I'm damn irritated with myself. I signed up for SATs so late = no more space to take the test in HwaChong with Sasha! = having to take the test myself in ACJC myself!!! D: I have to go in there with no one i know at all to take the test! HOW. TO. SURVIVE. Oh well, I shall worry about that later (or not worry about it at all) Study plan for the next year. Study for MSA1, then mug all the way till jan 23 for SATs. To get a good enough score so I can forget about retaking the test. Yep, that sounds like a good enough plan (: my only consolation is that when I retake in May/June 2010, I'll have Mabel with me. (: The past few days have been nonsense. Did nothing much; wasted the whole weekend away. I JUST FREAKING REALISED THAT I HAVEN'T TOUCHED ECONS I AM SO DEAD JUST KILL ME NOW. Argh argh argh. And christmas is in two days. G-R-E-A-T. I bought a nice new planner! With a cover of the Happy Prince (wait, is it the happy prince? The one with the story I never understood because I never got around to finish the book) Oh well, I have to go label the dates. When I'm free and sick of doing too much school work. I HAVE TO ABSTAIN FROM THE LAPTOP. An impossible feat though.
Oh yeah, I'm trying to sell my Sony Cybershot (I forgot the model number) It's in perfect condition and it's 2 years old. So if you have a friend that is interested/you're interested, drop me an email at twentystreetlights@hotmail.com! (: |

I caught Sasha cheating on me 1324576890 times yesterday when we were at Sentosa for our first ever PLC outing with the seniors (so it was PLC 06-07 batch together with PLC 07-08 batch). There were 10 of us, 5 from each PLC. We are such good people. The rest couldn't make it. I'm currently burnt and it's so itchy. Plus I was thinking of wearing my halter top I bought eons ago in Sydney's Esprit (okay, last year. It was techanically for this year's CNY, but I didn't wear it) Lucky I last minute ask Hazel what she was wearing then quikly change to my favourite blue tee before running out of the house to meet Hazel Peh, because I was running late. (I purposely one, cause I took my own sweet time when I found out at 9am that she just woke up) It was awkward at some parts but there's Sasha, so it was okay (: Haha! It was very funny meeting up with everyone else and it totally felt so normal, like as though we saw each other everyday (minus the fact that we had a lot to talk about and catch up). I had a nice time catching up with Hazel as we played ball standing in the water. We looked like idiots standing there and just throwing ball to each other but I don't care; I did it with my long lost best friend <3 HAHAHAH. Lunch-ed at Subway in Sentosa and Dinner at Marche @ Vivocity. (more photos on facebook!)
Came home and then uploaded all the photos on to my Mac - it's damn cool I tell you. (Bryan are you reading this! HAHAHA, It's time to save up!! Or drop your laptop accidentally) I didn't even have to load the canon software thingy on to the laptop and iPhoto detects it all! & it can help me upload onto Facebook too! AWESOME HUH.
Spent the whole weekend at the shop with Zenia! Then on Saturday, when we were about to close the shop, the shutters wouldn't work then my mum decided to let people in to buy stuff. Then a whole lot of people kept coming and the queue was so long non-stop for super long! Zenia and I stood at the cashier and just scanned and scanned and scanned, and collect cash cash cash. We see until our eyes crossed already look at the money also must look twice before taking cause we scared we saw the wrong coins! First time so many many many people at the shop and the queue so long! (I doubt the Cathay one is ever this long for such a long period of time) Apparently, some korean thing just ended at fort canning then they were on their way to take the last train/bus. HAHA (: It was damn fun. Working with Zenia has been an absolute BLAST (: We talk about everything and anything while we're at it too! Haha, FLOO NETWORK! (:
Zenia got her Mac yesterday and she's coming over tomorrow! Gosh, I'm so excited! Hahah, I think cause my mum knows her now and so she likes Zenia, that she was agreeable to letting her come over!! She's going to come kope my music files and microsoft office for Mac. Then we are going to attempt to study, though I doubt we'll succeed seeing how we planned to photobooth! Plus she's going to bring her SIMS3 over! Okay, we have to try. BIO/CHEM/MATHS! But first, I have to go to school and attempt to find my GP Essay plan if not I don't even want to do it if I don't even get it back. (oh yes, I feel rebellious) ARGH. I actually have to dress up in school attire and walk to school! D: I'm going to take a risk and wear slippers. I hope no one catches me! But I'm not going to be alone; Zenia's my accomplice!
Okay, I guess I'm going to go off and play something, not sure what but yeah do something fun that doesn't require much brain work. |

Yeah you don't even want to know how sick I am. Ugh yesterday was the horrible-est day of my life. Kept puking and had stomachache the entire day. Went to the doctor in the night and then doc said I had virus in my stomach. Great job Cassandra! Gosh. And I got a jab to reduce/stop the churning and reduce the nausea. Didn't sleep the whole night, just kept waking up to go to the toilet. I just sat there and fell asleep a couple of times cause I was too lazy to get up from the throne and then go back to bed only to go back again a few minutes later. But it was so uncomfortable sitting there. Ugh, okay enough of sickness talk it makes me feel worse. But seriously, last night was horrible. I totally wanted to go to the hospital and ask them to take out my stomach and clean it then put it back in but obviously that was not going to happen. I think it was what I ate on Sunday night. Ate a turquito (okay, I have no idea how to spell this) and drank a can of jolly shandy. Ugh okay this reminds me of the taste and you don't want to get me started on it it's disgusting ugh ugh ugh. I'm. Never. Going. To. Drink. Jolly. Shandy. Ever. Again. It's not as nice anyway.
Oh well, on the lighter side of things, caught Beauty & the Beast on Sunday night. Was supposed to go with my mum but in the end I went with my aunt cause my mum had to go and cover for one of her colleagues. It was a W!ld Rice production, help at the Drama Centre Theatre at the National Library. I must say the place is pretty cool and the play was very nice. I like Beauty's 2 sisters - played by Chua Enlai and Darius Tan. They were damn good. I love the script especially the songs (Original too!!) and how they added in the Ris Low stuff (Boomz, shingz, rad, preens etc) Gosh! Loved it! Next production they are going to have is Animal Farm and I'm so looking forward to it because I did Animal Farm in Secondary 2! I want to go watch. Anyone? (:
Oh well, that's what happened on Sunday and Monday. Thank goodness I did some maths on Sunday and clarified all the unknowns (of what i did) yesterday during tuition. But other than that, I've completed NOTHING! So I'm rather dead. I don't have the energy to think of what to eat, let alone think about bio/chem/maths/econs. I'm so screwed please. Plus SAT prep! && work shadowing/attachment reflections+pwp slides :O OHMANNNNNN |

Okay, just got home from an exciting day. Sorta exciting. Wait. It's saturday already. So it's supposed to be yesterday I'm talking about. Caught New Moon with Shanying then went to work with Zenia at mum's shop. Stayed there till 12plus this morning. Headed over to The Cathay store then she talked to her staff and then I found out that Sahan and the other 2 indian guys from Sri Lanka plays cricket too! (: Better go befriend them and ask them to teach us cricket! HAAHHA. Okay, I should go sleep now. Study in Europe talk @ Hilton hotel later! I hope it isn't too crowded! |

Work attachment at the Underwater World Singapore is over (: Yesterday was fun though. We had to meet at like 730 at the harbourfront interchange, took the bus in. Sentosa was damn peaceful at that hour. It was nobody nobody but us (and of course the people working there and hotel guests okay you get the picture). We were first attached to the curatorial department where all the behind the scenes work takes place - the feeding, the cleaning of tanks, the quarantine tanks and the preparation of food items. Cleaned the baby sea turtles' tank, scraped the shark eggs' shell to make it visible for the light to shine through (to be put in display in the exhibits, to show the development of the embryo in the egg) - this was the most scary one! The lives of the baby sharks were in our hands. Had to be very very very careful. Counted fishes, cleaned the sea turtles' quarantine tank (we actually went in and was walking (& scrubbing the tank) with the sea turtles in the water. The sea turtles were HUGE. During our break/waiting time, the guys fed the squid (Haha, I think it was the squid), then they went onto the baby sharks. Then we went to feed the turtles outside (we split into 2 groups. One went to feed the rays, the rest of us fed the turtles.) Went back to the "behind-the-scenes" place and then we did surface feeding - we actually fed the marine creatures that you can see in the underwater world exhibits! & we got the chance to feed the sharks too!! Break for lunch, subway couple lunch with Anita again! (: HAHAH. Thereafter, we were attached to the front office doing different jobs. I was at the touch pool. Picked up the starfish (Anita and I think it's fake) for the kids to feel; watched out for guests, made sure they do not bring the creatures out of the water and also not do anything to the creatures. Then the attachment was over! (: (Forgive me if I had the sequence of events jumbled up, my memory isn't perfect)
After we got out of Sentosa, Anita and I went to Vivo, wanting to look for QY's present. But we ended up at coffee bean. Drank some hot chocolate cause it was so cold outside and then went over the the CD shop in vivo. THEY WERE HAVING SALE OMG D: Should have bought a couple of VCDs! They were going at only $6.95!! Argh. But we took down a couple of movie titles so that we can watch online! HAHAH. Anita's phone failed her at a crucial time like that. It hung. "It knows I'm doing something illegal" HAHA!
Then we left. She alighted at Outram and I went on to Dhoby Gaut. Visited mum at her shop then headed to Cathay (again) to get tickets for New Moon! Watching with Shanying later! (: Then since I was there, went to try my luck at Gramaphone to see if John Mayer arrived (even though they haven't called me) Sheeeeeesh. It was there already lah and they totally did not call me. D: Bought it anyways and then went back to wait for mum to be done with work. (I'm so glad there are lyrics in his album!) It's pretty good. I think it would be the last cd I'll buy this year (I hope). I spent way too much on CDs this year. Just ask Qianying. I think she's keeping track for me!
Oh well, okay that sums up yesterday in case I don't a chance to come online tonight cause I'm working with Zenia again at my mum's place! Plus New Moon later with Shanying! Plus, my mum scolded me this morning for using the computer everyday till so late and she was like "From tomorrow onwards, no touching of the computer!" But in my defense, I did some math before I came on last night!!! I finished matrices! HAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm saving the (worst) for the last.
Now, I've just got to figure a way to go get my GP essay plan back from my teacher and start doing homework/studying. |
