Tink this is the last time I will be bloggin b4 I officially move into my 2nd home- NTU Hall 1. Mixed feelings seriously. Excited cos it will be something new and more experiences and memories. Sad cos I will be leaving my family, my warm home, everything I cherish- for quite a period of time. Haiz... I am full of regrets now cos I feel that I haven spent enuff time with my family. I barely seen them at all this week cos of the many late night activities that got me returning home at 12+. I should have push them all away, but at the same time I wan the best of both worlds. When I saw how my parents helped me clean up my hostel room today without complains, I had the urge to cry. Super touched. I really 对不起 them ( and mona too!) cos I keep changing the time due to my dementia resulting in me forgetting abt the existence of my tuition on sat. I vow to go out less than 3 times per week from now on no matter wat- okie may be hard to keep but I will try.
Shall blog about my new room soon when I settle in for the hall camp. Dunno whether to rejoice or sigh at the hall camp. Meetin new ppl, more insecurities, more fun, more outings= bb to my money, etc. And I will be yet another zombie after the camp which is even loooonger than the NBS one. And lose the pitiful amt of voice I haf left- it's not even 50% recovered yet!!!! Arghhhh... Nvm at least I will haf sexy voice yar.
This has been a super crazy week. Sometimes I leave the hse barely an hour after I wake up in the morning and return home in the wee hours of e morn. And it's also my lack of self-control tt I will still insist on coming online to watch vids thus causing me to be deprived of sleep. Wed was the job training and I made new friends! Haha guess it's gd tt me and cynthia wun haf the same job training day cos it means we can mix around. After that rush down to ps where some of them were hafing dao huay ard tt area. Din go zouk (whew!) cos dunno how to go so just meet up with the dao huay og gang. Thu was og chalet day... wahhaah I only stayed there for like 1.5 hours. Haiz long story about me reaching at some super late hour and I only get to eat one satay stick. And my buddy not there leh- saded! Fri was for meeting up with Jing for coffee at Raffles b4 stalking orchard lib and Taka. After that was KTV and wah, some of e og ppl were high man. Haha love those antics and some people could really sing! Heng din go watch the late night movie cos the next day which was ytd (sat), I almost overslept and forget abt tuition. Went to hostel to clean up and rush back home to put down my stuffs b4 setting off for dinner. Ajisan was v v nice. Pai seh to wy but I was really tired so i ap and say wan to go home early. And I really wanted to mingle with my family. 人在心不在. Meet nxt year at my hall lor haha...
Ohoh and about this coughing trend on my tag board ar-SERIOUS nothing going on. WE ARE JUST FRIENDS. I made it v v clear today- straight forward. Nothing going on and there's no need to explain further. Anyway there ABSOLUTELY wun be repeats in future so gals, ur had ur fun la but pai seh ar pls switch target and scandalise someone else. Wahahaha I haf been beautifully single and scandals-free as always ok!
Tmr... moving day + hall camp briefing. All these new changes are over-whelming me! Going to sleep on my lovely bed now... the bed which i prob will miss a lot cos I wun be laying on it till dunno when! Arghhh now I dun wan to move... mona pls find urself a new roomie heh heh. Ppl pls come visit me there kz...

Haha I better blog about the NBS FOC b4 i forget everytink! No photos yet though. Okie rite from the beginning:
Sat: Had a short briefing at the esplanade area where there were ice breaker games and cheers. Effective for memorising a couple of names since there were forfeits involved.
Mon: Yay the beginning of more fun. Met at the boon lay bus interchange at 7 plus- very early to me! Lug out fat bags to some LT and we had a couple of talks there from my ex-company and mag company. More briefings and lunch and then on to the dirty games. Arghhh we had egg yolks specially formulated with the NBS soya sauce, flour and god knows wat else splattered all over us by the end of the day. Yes we all stinked by at least it's a grp tink heh heh. Got to noe wat's photo formation- a human pyramid where we start screaming 我要看到我的脸 with great spirits despite having human weights on top of you. On to dinner (with the same tofu instead as lunch) and then a couple of camp games. Particularly like the drain one where we actually open up the drain cache and climb down with only 2 candles between the 30+ of us. Yes we lived the life of rats and the roaches for that half an hour. The guys were great cos they helped us girls over tt 2m wall without complains. V sweet and applauses for their 风度. Then on to the confidence jumped. Got lied to that we were to be pushed into nanyang lake and got to scream some guy's name for him to save us damsel in distress. We gals were blindfolded while the guys took the leap first. I waited ages for my turn and talked to dunno how many strangers cos can't c their face. When it's my turn, I screamed like a pig calling out my buddy's name. Only to land in some canvas with water that hardly reaches up to my knee. It's not the lake afterall- just some steep hill. Woah so pai seh!
Tue: Maybe I shld put this as tue cos by the time I took that leap... it's 4 plus in the morning. Needless to say, we had a pathetic one hour of slp at the pavilion at sentosa. My friends shld noe I am super bad mood when I dun get enuff slp... and it's just the beginning of the hyde version of xue ying heh heh. On the the beach games and I shld say it's more fun than wat I expected. In the end we all chiong into the sea and got everyone wet. And did a photo formation in the sea too. Okie then on to the project runway (still at sentosa) where we got to makeover a guy so that he will look super chio. Our sporty shar got the honours and of cos he became a 大美女 after the pretty clothes and makeup. Okie then go went on to changi there, had our dinner (more tofu!) and then on to our fright nite. Must say I love it. Though by that time I was already half a zombie (I tink) and talking crap like there's no tomorrow, I still gt shocked by the "ghosts" a couple of times. We gt blindfolded (again!) and walked thru some ulu forest walkway before reaching the "japanese house". Wahahah the ju-oh sure brought back some bad memories- oh nvm heh heh. Got to slp after the activity... cheers!
Wed: Went back NTU for the pool games. Haven swim in ages and found out that i even haf problem treading water o..O Love the dives though and getting into the water is real refreshing. After that was performance nite and syndro did a dance performance. Felt real bad cos my dancing sux (though I still wan to learn hip hop haha). But then our dances r suppose to be bad blah blah.. hard to explain the concept. Heh in the end we all cheer like mad and had great fun. Watched more performances and then on to the SP tinky. We are suppose to be blindfolded and talk to our SP. Heh it was fun, though of cos the "matchmaking concept" shouldn't be taken seriously lar. I had no clue tt my SP was a senior. But then my brain was already in a haze by then and I would even believe tt my SP is brad pitt if someone tells me that. The OGLs went ard eavesdropping, taking photos, etc... haiz we poor freshies. Went on to NSRCC after that for our few hours of sleep...is it 2?
Thu: Hmmm I tink the first tink we did was get our face painted. I realised I can't rmb much from this pt of the camp onwards cos I was mostly in dream world though the sun shining bright. If I am not wrong, I had my hair up like a ghost with flowers stuck in between. And did I mention there was a "Give me money $$$" on my face. Of cos there were other decorative images on our faces and each of us gt a nick name based on our beautiful faces. Mine was loan shark- hur hur any surprise >D We ran around geylang looking like that while we had our food hunt. Wah they really spent a lot of money on those food... dun tink our $50 covers that much. Hmmm played a couple of games b4 we went back to the chalet to get really for SP nite. For me I rushed like mad back home cos I had tuition. Sighs responsibilities... Rushed back again to see our seniors tormenting some of our SP with some pledges, dares, etc. It's not a xiang qing lar but well erm let the seniors haf their bit of fun I guess- sry guys! Went on some double date with mona. Gasp mona told me I was talking rubbish the whole time. Wah now I really 没有形象 already... that was hyde xy heh heh. Like i say, I haf the image of a dead drunk man when I haf no slp. Had dinner at fish and co. and went on to velvet dragon. Haven club for ages- not my cup of tea. But guess it's okie without those irritating cigarettes. Drank a little Whiskey coke- wah super super nice! Danced and dropped dead on the sofa after a while. Then back to the chalet.
Fri: Erm... if I am not wrong all we did was clear out of the chalet, went back to NTU and played more games. By then I had no energy esp when that inconvenient period of time of this month chose to fall rite that week. Hmmm... I tink we handed out the awards for ogs etc and guess wat SYNDRO WAS TOP! Wahahah best OG for us thx to our senior's hard work to get us high during cheers and everyone's enthusiasum. Had a pizza dinner with the OG and went home where I was knocked out. Slept like a baby.
Yesh it's the end of the FOC. Woah overwhelm by the number of outings we haf for this week. Glad to meet up with them when I am more sane haha... By the way enjoyed ytd's movie with ping they all. HP was not bad to me since it was ages when I last read the book haha. Sobs that we din get to swim but there's also nxt time! Oh and I enjoyed my 7 hours of kbox on sun too! Wahahaha happy bdae my dear ah min! Although we totally lost our voices after that (esp me since I dun haf any voice to start with heh), it was a great exp. Let's do it more often kz. And how can I forget S24A's mini outing at bugis on mon. Wahahah we bare our hearts out din we... Arghh forgot to ask ur to take photo! Sry that i had to leave earlier for my tuition. More meetings kz!
Sighs job training tonite... gg back to my mother club zouk cos of og outing. Mambo nite should be fun heh- hope i wun be too beat.
Saturday, 21 July 2007 ( 7:26 pm )
I wanna blog about the NBS FOC but I really wan to talk about something else first so the stuffs abt the camp got to wait. Watching Nobuta Wo Produce now and I am really relate to it. A synopsis is abt the 2 guys helping kotani, a strange weird zombie-like gal to gain confidence and become more popular. The main lead shuji is a very popular guy but he constantly lies to others to gain tt popularity. The other guy is a guy who lives true to himself and reminds me a little of luna lovegood from harry potter.
Shuji really represents most of us in real life. Shuji lives life like a game and scores points by strategising about the right things to say or do to others. The reason for it is so that others wun hate him. He agrees to go out with people when when he do not want to. Yes it's a facade but could it be condemn as wrong. Sometimes, other just dun accept. In every different groups of people, there are different politics involves and how many poeple can serious claim that they have stayed true to thenselves.
For both guys and gals, there are cliques. When people first meet each other they will start to label them. Whether they are like us or not. Yes- then you are one of us. No- keeping that particular distance with certain short conversations so that one would seems proud or smth. Later on the cliques with form more distinctly. It's a nature of life. People going around looking for people who are like them. "Opposite attracts" occurs quite rarely.
From the show, we see this this really clearly. And the fact that impressions can be manipulated or altered or easily. The way you present yourself, the things u said, the stuff others say about you all comes into play. It's scary. We all choose to be what we are. And we should be tinking about what we really wan. And be happy.
I like this part of the show which i am watching now. "Even if I fell to the bottom. Life doesn't end. I still have to live on. If u live thru a horrible day, there will be one amazing day too." "Put things away and pretend not to see them- and laugh abt it after a few years." "Believe the person who you want to believe no matter what things look like."
Wahahah okie now I sound like some vid reviewer. Love this show to bits. This coming week is a activity filled one. To remind myself here bugis + tuition + compass on mon, jurong east + town on tue, esplanade + zouk on wed with og dears, tuition + chalet with NBS og loves/dinner with my co family on thu, mahjong + dinner with wy on sat. OVER QUOTA!!!! Now even got pri sch bbq... heng not this week or else I had go bang my head against e wall or smth. I wanna go catch up with e pri sch mates!!! Haven seen them in ages =)
I promise to blog abt NBS camp v v soon. Once I catch up on more slp kz... gotta go or else will oversleep tmr (again!) and kinda nag by ah gong and co. heheh...
Thursday, 12 July 2007 ( 2:11 pm )
Woohoo I am back! My mood improved by leaps and bounds cos of the sleepover on tue =) We practically went on a mini hike around the east-northern area of Singapore. A nice recap of our adventure.
The day started with me being late. I could resist sleeping for 15 min more and yes I was 15 min late then. Haiz cos I was rushing out e recording the previous nite but I noe it's not an excuse lar. Heh we finally meet ping at VJ and we walked to the bike shop. Started to teach quek how to cycle... recalled how tough it was for me to learn cycling for the 1st time quite some years back so I understand the fear that quek faced. Finally me and ping left quek alone to try to figure out her point of balance. We sped off towards bedok jetty- hehe we r both reckless riders with the love for speed. Wah we cycled non-stop to the bedok jetty where we took photos and got a heavy tan from the afternoon sun. It's then that we realise that we have only 15 min left to return to the bike shop which is super ultra far away. Once again we sped back but we totally got no energy... wahhaha I rmb how we struggled to ascend the slope. Okie at least we burn some calories. We finally return 10 min late but the uncle din fine us or smth =)
Had an ice cream cone at mac b4 leaving. We had a long walk to the katong laksa (our fav foodie haunt hehe!) and we talk about a particularly interesting tink hehe :p Had our usuals- laksa plus ice milo. Moving on, we went to ps (for my sake- thanx gals!) for my wrapper searching but ti turned out fruitless. We then went on to van's hse!!!
Haha Van's hse is always super fun. Wah shocked by the number of TV sets in her hse. Tsk tsk no wonder she is a tv addict. We listen to some short snips of my recording and hope they bring back some of those memories we share. A lot to be exact =) Went down to haf a great feast- her mom is a great cook! Yay more tv more talking- great sleepover! Sleep till 11am the nxt day- a new record for ping ping hor but normal for me and quek hehe. Had breakfast b4 setting out for AMK hub for lunch- MOS burger! Then went off with quek to Northpoint. It's quite out of place but dun mind cos we can explore a new area again! And discover I got direct bus!
Bought some manga for a cheap price thanks to quek recommendation. Walked around but spent most of our time at popular thanks to me- I was sourcing for Pri.4 assessment books- no it's not becos I am too bored and wan to restudy p4. I am teaching a p4 student now and got 3 subj to tackle. Frankly speaking, I have forgotten everytink I learned in p4 (of cos lar since it's almost 9 years ago!) and their syllabus shld haf changed. I look thru dunno how many books and even tried to test quek e science qns- wahahaha! Heng tt we noe or else super pai seh...
Heh gg out to celebrate ah mah's bdae on mon was great too! Happie bdae ah mah! Okie i need to go watch my vid hehe... terriblly sunburned but at least I look tan. Argh hope i last... Yay can't wait for our swimming cum movie outing nxt + raffles/outram tour! Nxt Nxt week kz...

沟通一下会死吗?
I scare myself sometimes by the incredible way in which I can morph into a different mood instanteously. I can do that cos I learned to forget stuffs instantly- but they come back in a while anyway.
Seriously disappointed in the communication- or the lack of it, if it even existed.
Listening. It's a really difficult skill. You have to learn to reserve your opinions to oneself, accept the criticism (if it's critical) without fighting to defend oneself and dismiss them immediately, pay attention even if you have heard it a 1000 times and noe that they may be propanganda and stay neutral all the time.
Ignore, just claim that "there's nothing I can do about it" and "it's not my fault or wun affect me much anyway". Close one eye and pretend that everything is fine. Listen half-heartedly and forget them that exact instant. Remind silent and best of all- dun care! The way of the weaklings. There's already 2 existing ones.
It's a 2 way problem seriously. One more weakling on the way...

Woohoo I am back! My mood improved by leaps and bounds cos of the sleepover on tue =) We practically went on a mini hike around the east-northern area of Singapore. A nice recap of our adventure.
The day started with me being late. I could resist sleeping for 15 min more and yes I was 15 min late then. Haiz cos I was rushing out e recording the previous nite but I noe it's not an excuse lar. Heh we finally meet ping at VJ and we walked to the bike shop. Started to teach quek how to cycle... recalled how tough it was for me to learn cycling for the 1st time quite some years back so I understand the fear that quek faced. Finally me and ping left quek alone to try to figure out her point of balance. We sped off towards bedok jetty- hehe we r both reckless riders with the love for speed. Wah we cycled non-stop to the bedok jetty where we took photos and got a heavy tan from the afternoon sun. It's then that we realise that we have only 15 min left to return to the bike shop which is super ultra far away. Once again we sped back but we totally got no energy... wahhaha I rmb how we struggled to ascend the slope. Okie at least we burn some calories. We finally return 10 min late but the uncle din fine us or smth =)
Had an ice cream cone at mac b4 leaving. We had a long walk to the katong laksa (our fav foodie haunt hehe!) and we talk about a particularly interesting tink hehe :p Had our usuals- laksa plus ice milo. Moving on, we went to ps (for my sake- thanx gals!) for my wrapper searching but ti turned out fruitless. We then went on to van's hse!!!
Haha Van's hse is always super fun. Wah shocked by the number of TV sets in her hse. Tsk tsk no wonder she is a tv addict. We listen to some short snips of my recording and hope they bring back some of those memories we share. A lot to be exact =) Went down to haf a great feast- her mom is a great cook! Yay more tv more talking- great sleepover! Sleep till 11am the nxt day- a new record for ping ping hor but normal for me and quek hehe. Had breakfast b4 setting out for AMK hub for lunch- MOS burger! Then went off with quek to Northpoint. It's quite out of place but dun mind cos we can explore a new area again! And discover I got direct bus!
Bought some manga for a cheap price thanks to quek recommendation. Walked around but spent most of our time at popular thanks to me- I was sourcing for Pri.4 assessment books- no it's not becos I am too bored and wan to restudy p4. I am teaching a p4 student now and got 3 subj to tackle. Frankly speaking, I have forgotten everytink I learned in p4 (of cos lar since it's almost 9 years ago!) and their syllabus shld haf changed. I look thru dunno how many books and even tried to test quek e science qns- wahahaha! Heng tt we noe or else super pai seh...
Heh gg out to celebrate ah mah's bdae on mon was great too! Happie bdae ah mah! Okie i need to go watch my vid hehe... terriblly sunburned but at least I look tan. Argh hope i last... Yay can't wait for our swimming cum movie outing nxt + raffles/outram tour! Nxt Nxt week kz...

沟通一下会死吗?
I scare myself sometimes by the incredible way in which I can morph into a different mood instanteously. I can do that cos I learned to forget stuffs instantly- but they come back in a while anyway.
Seriously disappointed in the communication- or the lack of it, if it even existed.
Listening. It's a really difficult skill. You have to learn to reserve your opinions to oneself, accept the criticism (if it's critical) without fighting to defend oneself and dismiss them immediately, pay attention even if you have heard it a 1000 times and noe that they may be propanganda and stay neutral all the time.
Ignore, just claim that "there's nothing I can do about it" and "it's not my fault or wun affect me much anyway". Close one eye and pretend that everything is fine. Listen half-heartedly and forget them that exact instant. Remind silent and best of all- dun care! The way of the weaklings. There's already 2 existing ones.
It's a 2 way problem seriously. One more weakling on the way...

Yay got my sports shoes though they are not the super branded ones.. it's quite cheap but it's yellow! Haha and I dun wan buy too gd one also cos it will just rot in my cupboard with lack of use after a while. Met jiao at queenstown on thu... ended up getting lost along the way cos I smart alec and tink I can walk there- it's 6 bus stop away to my horror!!! Luckily jiao warn me to take bus... Ltr went suntec and the bus broke down along the way. Got a free ride so it din dampen our mood. Finally bought the mang guo jeans!!! Wahaha and a t-shirt to boot... I am totally broke after spending aeons in mango but it's 50% sales leh!
Went cycling ytd at ECP with huang and papa. The day was perfect for it though it was a little towards the hot side cos it was in the afternoon. Haven exercise for quite some time and it was time to work those joints. 蓝蓝的天空,咸咸的海风,I was in a great mood esp when it comes to one of my fav sports- cycling. Rented a bike for 2 hours at $5... very cheap! We cycled towards changi and look wat interesting stuffs we discover!
Huang- the princess of that castle?
Pretty!!! I claim credit for it... I mean the photo hehe.
A nice Jetty for us to enjoy the beautiful view of the beach... Super relaxing!
Wah I really enjoyed that whole day and 2 hours just flew past like that. I wan more cycling!!! Heh... Went to eat ice cream at mac (n regained all the calories we lost from the cycling hehe) b4 gg down to bugis to eat vegetarian food. I must say tt I din noe tt the variety for vegetarian food is so great! They got Hokkien mee, curry mee, fried rice, pizza, spaggetti, etc... 要什么有什么!Me and huang took super long to decide cos we were spoiled for choices. Tried the pizza, hokkien mee, salad prawn (super ultra nice!) and the organic soya bean drink. I was super well fed! A walk ard bugis helped them all to sink down. More vegetarian food for me in future!
Was reading the Sunday times and I find the read about NS life really interesting. Their lingos are super funny. But it looked like hard work and the tough part wasn't really as reflected as in the 苦水 which the NS recruits always 吐. To tink I once entertained the thought of joining NCC in sec sch- but they din haf it in CCHMS. My mom's nice experience in NCC really influenced me then and I was rather sporty then cos of swimming and all those soccer. Too bad lor tt I got into CO. Wahahah now I am anti sports becos of my lazy bones.
Yay finally finished my read " the shadow of the wind"! I seldom (if ever) read books tt thoughtfully cos I too anxious to noe the ending and would browse thru them. This story got me truly hooked and I actually shiver each time I read about the antagonists Lain n Fumero or when the Aldaya Mansion appears on scene. I was transported into the entire setting cos the words and style of writing are so powerful. In short, the story is about a boy Daniel who picks a book "The Shadow of the Wind" written by a Julian Carex from the Cemetery of Forbidden Books. Fascinated by the book and possibly being salvaged by it from his sorrow of not being able to recall his dead mother's face, he went ard enquiring about the author only to discover that someone was slowly destroying every copy of the books written by Carex. The story behind it hides a horrifying past, dotted with a cursed love and equally cursed individuals. I feel for a lot for the characters cos they seems to be at the mercy of fate without having done anything to deserve their sad end.
My fav character would be Fermin, a begger whom Daniel rescued from the streets. He is very witty and looks life in the eye of a bold character. I love everything he says cos they r words from a master! Haha fallen in love with him liao. Also loves several quotes from the book...
~ "Do you love her?"... I though about it for a moment. "I am afraid you don't... We do not need a second to consider love. Love is right there at the top of our head and thinking about it means ot does not exist." (err roughly sketched out cos can't find the exact location of it)
~ Never trust he who trusts everyone
~ Death does that: it makes everyone feel sentimental. When we stand in front of a coffin, we all see only what is good or what we want to see.
Got many other nice quotes but I forgot where they are. A great book! I wun even mind reading it again. Okie gg to continue with my mini project... keke I super excited to let you see it!!!

FAVE QUOTE OF LATE
Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity -- albert einstein
