Emerge - Day 1

2007-06-02T02:23:00.000+08:00

Day 1 began with lots of hype and anticipation. On my side, I kept bugging my sis to tell her how excited i am, and how cool its gonna be! Went on and on about the parade of schools (cheerleading), hip hop dances, beatboxing competition, etc.

Brought Danny and sis along for this event. Good things are worth waiting for! So... we queued! Gosh, the hot afternoon sun was testing us! Could see Danny getting pissed with the waiting..fanned him till my hands were tired.. but i dont want this to get into his mood. My sis was taking it well..and happily chatting with my cell grp mates. Good thing..else its hard to please two peeps.

Finally got in after approx an hour of queueing. I rather queue...and get a seat in the hall.. as compared to those who came late, and had to sit in the overflow room~ Watch everything from a screen. The hall was already holding 9k le..with ard another 1k in overflow areas. Attendance of 10k!! =D

Oh yeahhhh, we are on GodTV! Watched by billions around the globe...like Europe, Philippines, America, China, Korea, Taiwan, etc! When we were counting down to us on satellite tv, its like as if we're counting down to a brand new year! 8..7..6..5.. 4..3..2...1 BOOM! Boom!! The little fireworks display. Started with the Emerge trailer...which is super fantastic..top notch stuff.

Then...there was percussion performance. Exactly like the swatch watch adver..with the ink spilling up?? I dun noe whats that!! But its super COOL!!

The next surprise in stall was the dance from our dance ministry. B-boying, breakdance, hip hop,.. u name it, they've got it! The best part for most should be when the kids danced too! Amazing to see what they could do at such young age!

An overseas artiste came over to sing 2 songs for us... and its none other than... TANG! HAhaha. Thats what I thought I heard. Nope, its Tank. No idea whos that =X But my sis got damn high after seeing him! Kept saying he's super shuai de~

Yeap, thats Tank! Not very shuai to me haha. Liked his rapping~! Hmmm, I would prefer to see Milk perform!! =P

A talentime finalist performed too. Sang for us "A Moment like this". Wow, her voice is unique..the deep and powerful type. Kerry said that he felt like singing to an audience after listening to her?? that shall be his moment eh?

At 8.30pm, Parade of Schools began!!! WOOO! It started with the secondary level, divided into North, South, East and West. Some of them as young as 13 years old!! They are not professionals...and for some, its their first try. However, they did a wonderful job!!

The best part of coz...is still the tertiary level's performances! Because the stunts they're attempting are much higher level!!!!

Daniel's NUS team...did this flower move. Flyers on top..fell back like petals..den pushed back up like the flower closing. WOW!!

Din exactly caught the exact moment on the cam..but you get the basic idea huh!

Team NUS! With the clap-o-meter at the back..1 of the criteria for judging~! hahaha! you cant imagine the clapping..cheering, scream, stamping of foot.. after each performance!

Sad to say.. I dont have pics of NTU's performance!!! Coz i had it all on video!! The starting is damn cool..with all dressed in some formal clothing.. then they stripped~ to reveal whats underneath! I took it in 2 videos.. the first part is too big to upload, so i only have this!

the ending!

My personal favourite is the SMU/SIM team!! They had this concept of something like dead dolls..and spartan feeling..lol~ Maybe like the dead revived to fight? Awesome man~! left a deep impression in me! The whole idea is very creative..!

The starting.. with the flyers at the back appearing like they're hung.

Afternote: Daniel just told me that NTU got first place!!! SO PROUD OF THEM!! =D Followed by SMU/SIM then TP! =))

Yups.. thats about all for the highlights of the day~! The rest is like a normal service..with preaching and all~

Sis, Sheryn (my cell leader), me
Showing our EMERGE wrist bands / bangles!!!

Thankful that theres shuttle bus for all of us... even goes to Punggol!! Poofff! The most crowded buses are the ones going to the west man!

Danny, sis and I were so hungry..we were going nuts!! Had no idea it would end so late...prolly the longest service I've ever attended man!!! 4 half hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went for supper at my house opposite. Sad to say... the prata sucks!! Never took so long to eat 2 pieces of prata b4~ Sis was craving for Anything.. too bad they dont have it therE!!

Danny walked us home.. then took a cab back.. coz its super late le.

Collectables of this event:

Black Emerge 2007 bangle!

Emerge water bottle! lols!!

Emerge notebook!! Man, I love this!!!!

To be honest, everything about Emerge is great.. except for the queueing part.. and the super long worship. Both of that pissed Danny off..till he felt the highlight of the day was going home. =( I understand lah.. coz it was really far too draggy for the worship part.

I'm glad that he's still enjoying church so far..and wants it to remain that way.. I know his efforts and everything he's doing is for me.. cant force him to come church with me when he dont have a reason to.

-

This morning, he called me twice to tell me how badly he missed me. Its very romantic.. even thou he's disturbing my slumber =P hehe. great way to start the day..!

-

Off to sleep~! Long day tomorrow!!!

I CAN DO ALL THINGS

2007-06-01T01:40:00.000+08:00

EMERGE 2007 IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay tune~! Will update more asap, together with all the pictures and comments on the cool event!

BYE HOSTEL!

2007-05-30T00:41:00.001+08:00

I've moved out of my hostel le. Really want to thank my dad and Danny A LOT A LOT for their tremendous amount of help.

My dad drove TWO trips from my hostel to my home in PUNGGOL!!! He's really patient sia...

As for Danny, he helped with some of the packing.. but his biggest contribution is the way he carry things.. My gosh, his 1 trip is probably equivalent to at least 4 trips if i did everything myself. He can carry A LOT of stuff!!!

I began by thinking where to start packing.. theres so many things everywhere!!!

End up, I started with the wardrobe. Then my drawers, food shelves, blah.

What took me the longest is... taking down all my precious pictures from the wall... The withdrawal form stated that no bluetack must be found on the wall else will get fined $10. lols.

To see how my room looked like before, can refer to MY ROOM TOUR post or NEW HOSTEL DECO post to see how the pictures were arranged on my wall.

Haiz, took down everything... *painstaking process* this blue dots resembles some join the dots paper. lol~

everything was packed into plastic bags, luggage bags, bags, laundry basket, .. ....

even dustbins,... lol! could hardly walk around in the room.. cause my roommate is packing on her side too~!

See?? Who's messier..? LOL! She's having a headache... dunno where to start too!!

Took a break to have lunch... since theres no space on my "living room", we ate on my bed..haha! Anyway, might not be my bed liao... dont care arh!!!

20 piece nuggets feast! since when can you sit on your bed and eat fast food... or even jump on your bed?? HAha! Its not very springy.. but i just had to jump on it. =X

Lets see how bare my room looks after removing everything!!!!!!!

The door looked so naked..without our trademark signs! When roomie is tearing out the male toilet sticker, a good part of the paint came out with it... opps!

my wardrobe is so bare right!! its damn disgusting inside. spider webs.. ants... I dun put food in my wardrobe what, why the hell are there so many ants ??? =/ they eat cloth? the ants in my hostel have weird diet.. they are attracted to plain water too. Its like...they just cant accept that they cant swim.. keep sending their worker ants to drown. =O

My table and food shelf. First time see my table so empty... which means first time it feels big haa.. it normally feels too small with the books, printer, laptop, fan, kettle, barang barangs on it.

I miss my hostel already =((

If i cant be together with my roommate, i would most probably not stay in hall anymore.. my roommate also felt likewise. It just sucks to live with someone you dont know.. Even if its someone you know, being friends and staying together is two completely different business. There will bound to have conflicts and disagreements.. my roomie and I have past that stage..and I'm not keen to go thru it again with a different person.

-

After all the shifting, I went with Danny for his department dinner at Vivo's Mussel Guys. Wow! I always thought its some expensive restaurant. Boy, i was proven wrong! Theres some dinner set meal thingy.. For $9.90++, you can have soup of the day + drink + main course. I think its fine! I had honey baked salmon...while Danny had seafood baked rice topped with cheese and white sauce. Its all damn nice! I'm very satisfied with the customer service and the quality of the dishes~! My salmon is freaking thick and big. hehe! Good deal =)))

Aiyoh, his seniors all discussed stuff for so long. Made us miss our movie! I din make a big deal out of it lah. Such incidents cant be helped. Since we are islander members, I suggested taking the express train into sentosa for fun. Just relax..and look at the sights and people. But before that, the "Sale!!!" word caught my eyes and reminded me that its Great Singapore Sale now!! Vivo close too early man.. at 9+pm, theres still a crowd! They should consider extending their hours? I always happen to shop at closing hours man =/

Its a sweet romantic night. Then, Danny walked me home.. to my door step. Long time since he did that! Cause he seldom had the chance to. Well, now that i wont be in hostel anymore...he should have more chances to do so!! =P

Dad's 51st

2007-05-27T23:00:00.000+08:00

Today is my dad's 51st. Ah...good thing the day falls on a Sunday. Then we could all celebrate together on the exact day~! More meaningful.. compared to celebrating earlier or later.

Bought a fruit cake for him coz my throat was still swollen =X Otherwise, i would have gotten the usual choc cake..maybe even coco exotic again! LOL!

This cake is from this bakery in Rivervale Plaza... Gosh. I know its $13.. but still, they should give a proper cardbox cover for it mah. They gave one with cream and ants inside omg! Good thing Danny saw it and asked for a new one. Tsktsk.....

My dad placing a cherry in my mum's mouth.. haha so lovey dovey right? Think i have an almost perfect family right now.. Parents love each other.. and love my sis and me.. sis and me are very close. =))

Dinner was at The Chicken House at Thomson Road AGAIN! Think its our usual hang out place every weekend le. My whole family just love the kampong chicken rice there~~

Proceeded to visit my grandpa. Haven visit him for awhile due to my sickness.. dont want to pass my viral infection to him ah.. He's already so weak. Doc found a tear in his stomach. After a series of tests which includes scoping his stomach, they discovered its a bleeding tumour in his stomach... but so far, he din feel any severe pain yet.. Hais, my ah gong so old le..

Talking about age, i realized old people dont introduce themselves by their names. They start off with their age! HAHA!! Its quite funny to observe elderly chat. Coz that time Danny helped my grandpa over to this other patient's bed to chat.. my grandpa keeps saying he's 91.. while the other guy keeps saying he's 74.. -_-

Seems like everytime im there, the patients on the other 3 beds are always different.. my grandpa is prolly warded the longest i guess. =/ And we dont have any idea when he will be able to come home.....

Navy Open House 26 May - 27 May

2007-05-26T23:31:00.000+08:00

26 May 2007: Its the Navy Open House! Despite lack of sleep (i couldnt sleep the whole night before) plus still sickly, I was damn determined to continue our plans. Moreover, his officer got a pair of tickets for us to sail out on HIS SHIP for an hour! Wanna check out his work environment =)

Lotsa pics ahead!

Due to traffic issues, all visitors are directed to Expo Hall 1 first. We were greeted by many smiley navy personnels and some cool exhibits!

First off, this is a dummy submarine! My first reaction to it was.."can people fit into it?" Apparently, its the same on many minds because the auntie in front of me even approached the navy dude to ask him.
Yea, Dummy-sized. Take a good look of the top and its proportion to the body arh... because I have the real submarine pic somewhere down. ^_^

Whitehead torpedo!
to read more on it, enlarge the pic. (my cam is zhai 1)

harpoon missile

gabriel missile

being a typical Singaporean holding a camera, I naturally photographed everything in sight.. haha! even thou i have no business with the missiles. think the ships are way cooler!

This is a Fast Interceptor Craft!
Even thou Danny is in the Navy, he havent seen this b4!
Can go up to 40knots..sounds fast.

Walking on, we queued up for the shuttle bus. Must say that its pretty efficient..so many people but we did not have to queue long.

We reached our destination!

Changi Naval Base~!

So exciting!!!

This is the first ship in sight! Woah, its the biggest ship there le. Its called Landing Ship Tank (LST). 15 knots. Ok, no wonder 40 knots is fast.

Nice picture right! Can see LST at the back. 4 of them in total. No idea what the ships at the front are.

Hurried over to the west pier as Danny's patrol vessel is parked there. Yeaaa, we got the tickets to board RSS FEARLESS! =DD

The one on the left of this pic is my dear's ship!! The one we will be sailing out on~
I could hardly contain my excitment..!

After a short safety briefing and life jacket demonstration, we are all ready to board! Thats the gangway into the ship!

Just now you saw 2 ships side by side right?? The other is RSS Sovereignty. Display ship..meaning we can go up onto it to check out all the facilities. But the actual sailing is on Danny's Fearless.

Oh. Thats the real submarine at the back of this navy guy. Thats the top..the body is fully submerged (duh) and its fenced off. Would love to tour the submarine sia...~ Too bad dont have. Based on the dummy submarine pic, I guess you can figure out that its...VERY BIG!!!!!!!!!

On board Danny's ship!! We could only stand at the upper deck out in the sun..kao!! SO HOT!
After some suaying, I was a goner. Had to binge on sour plum... Danny showed me some cool binoculars which got me busy for awhile. then, I was standing at the front all the way..taking deep breaths.. I would love to take pics from the ship budden the swaying arh, i was afraid that i would knock the cam against the ship or worst, drop it overboard. they dont provide life jacket for cams.. so its best to keep it in the bag.

Afterthought: I'm really glad to be able to check out Danny's work environment. His ship and the people he works with. HOWEVER, I felt terrible after the trip!!! Completely lost my appetite..-_-! The sun was a killer too.. no overhead clouds for cover.. direct blazing sun..
I almost wanted to go home right away after the trip lor lol!

Before we left, we took a shot with his Fearless float =)

Thats a frigate 69!

The front of patrol vessel. RSS Kallang.. kao.. i totally hate that name.. good thing danny's one isnt Farrer or wad. He said half of the patrol vessels are named after roads. So we have RSS Bedok, RSS Punggol, etc. Horrible names...

Danny managed to get 2 booklets of $20 each..so we shouldnt waste it. Visitors have to pay for it lor..so ex.

You may think whats so special about this plate of noodles that it deserves to be on my blog? NOthing! But it costs $5.

ABEL! This is your boyfriend's ship!!
Stealth frigate~

Even have unmanned aircraft display there~

Cant recall whats with this, but Danny will have to dress up like this some time next year..and according to him, its VERY HOT.

A model of the different ships at sea! ahaha. Danny's patrol vessel is the smallest one on the bottom right.

We found a model of his RSS Fearless!
Danny and his ship.

Yup. the description of his ship.

U may wanna enlarge this pic to see what i've done to it lols!
I added a pic of myself..to show the perfect location I was standing during his ship cruise.

We had a great time! He's happy and im happy too~! Unsure how to spend the money, we bought some navy souvenirs! T shirts and keychains haha! Very cute de..my hp key chain - its a female navy officer. Doubles up as hp screen cleaner too!

Food Fest

2007-05-25T22:40:00.000+08:00

Woohoo. Went to the Food Fest @ Expo with Danny's parents and 2 bros. Danny din come because he was busy with the Navy open house.

Wow, as kiasu Singaporeans, we really tried a lot of food!! For freE~! heh. although it was bits and pieces here and there, its pretty filling sia!

The most interesting thing is the.. Anything and Whatever booth. I only knew that theres such drinks..Now I know that actually its a surprise in every can! Coz they have many flavours..den see your luck..what you kana. Good for indecisive people who always "shui pian", can drink anything type. Now they really have Anything to drink!! For those who dunno, Anything is fizzy de - includes flavours like Root beer, cola, lemon cola, apple, etc! As for Whatever, its non-fizzy - ice lemon tea, apple tea, peach tea, etc. Cool man~!

Poor Danny. He wasnt feeling well at work.. Either I pass to him my viral infection..or I disturbed him too much last night den he not enough sleep.. Aiya, for almost the whole of last night, I had trouble sleeping. Awhile fever, awhile nauseous. -_-!! Good thing he woke up to make some bread for me..coz all my medicine says 'after food'. Then also troubled him to pat my back.. nv puke in the end thou.

I've not completely recovered yet.. but I shall do my best in taking care of him!! =D

Oh yeah.. something interesting!! Danny saw a 'water sprout' today out at sea!! Something like water tornado. Wah..I dont think Singapore have that right?? Is that freak weather condition!? OMG!!

-

Sighs. My roommate din get accepted into hall.. We applied together..that means I prolly din get accepted too =(( Sian..so much stuff to bring back. -_-" Esp the mini bar fridge..ah... =/ Good thing my dad just got a new car..which its much bigger. heh. Toyota Axio~ Singapore still dont have direct import yet if im not wrong. Almost dont see them on the roads de.

Sibei sad lah!! Need at least 13 points to get into the hall.. I only have 12. Sighs!!! Now I have to move out.. wait for the freshies to get their hall allocation first. Then see how it goes. . .

=(

2007-05-24T22:04:00.000+08:00

Wanted to go Settlers Cafe with Danny and my cell group very badly..Was so looking forward to it. Even rushed over to Danny's hse to help him do his extra work on Office Word so that we can go soon.

End up he apply his wax all these le.. but i suddenly felt very cold. He commented that my face was very pale. Thought it was the powder or something.. turned out to be my lips.

I hurried ate all my medicine..for fever, body ache, throat and antibiotics. I feel like i'm so overloaded with medicine man..

After a long cold shivers..finally perspired..which made me feel better. He went out to buy liang teh and sour plum for me..coz i was going to puke any moment.. ah now i know why the doc asked me if im nauseous or having diarrhea.. I have all that symptoms now..-_-

Glad that Danny dont have to do duty tonight..then he can take care of me again. I want to hurry get well soon! He has a ticket for me to go onboard his ship..and sail out with him for an hour..during the Navy Open House. Cool man..wanna see his work environment. Just hope I wont puke!

2nd fever in 2 weeks

2007-05-23T23:14:00.000+08:00

Was down with fever for the whole of yesterday evening till now. Keeps going on and off.

Finally went to see doctor..because its the 2nd fever in 2 weeks.

Temp is 39degrees cel. Doc says theres an epidemic going on! Whereby many are down with viral infection and fever. However, this epidemic is ending soon..with the fever dying off. Also, theres an outbreak of dengue again.

I m to expect the fever to last for maybe another 4 days.. but if it doesnt end by then, I would need to go for a blood test..coz might be dengue..omg!

Good thing Danny could book out early today..at 2+pm. Den can take care of me. But hoh... when i have fever, I dont like to on the fan. On the other hand, he cant stand it when its hot. -_-! How sia liddat. I compromise lor..let him on the fan.. den i fever somemore... ...!@$^%

13 13yr olds

2007-05-21T22:49:00.000+08:00

Worked as an instructor for an Amazing Race event, thats nothing like the TV series' Amazing Race. The school we are in charge of is CHIJ Toa Payoh Sec.

Really liked the school once I stepped in. The architecture - stained glass, and some old church windows. Nothing like my anglican sec sch - just like the dark green polka dotted uni, the sch is in dark green and cream. One word: Boring!

Finally got to meet the girls at the hall. They are kinda rowdy at times..but they know when to behave too!

The most impressive part is when they took record speed to form 3 groups within their class!

They rushed to find their team mates that we thought a stampede was gonna take place!

Yeah, they were pretty orderly!

13 year olds. I think this is a very interesting age. According to my Educational Psychology module last semester, they are classified under the "Identity Crisis" stage! To me, I think its a mixture of leaving the 12 yr old mark to be in a totally new school environment, the beginning of teenage years, and the transition from child to adult! So, sometimes you see them behaving like adults.. sometimes like... little monkeys!

This is my group's name and logo. They call themselves lonerz~ I guess its because they feel left out in the class? Wah.. learnt from them that theres so many class politics. Hmm.

Anyway, each group has a question sheet..which consists of 3 sections. Section A asks questions that makes us go from Orchard to Tanglin then City Hall then Toa Payoh. Oh my goodness man!! The semi enthusiatic walking and running depleted my energy bar soon enough! Poof~! Section B requires us to collect 20 items.. some were hard like golf ball -_- red toy car -_-". Lastly, Section C consists of 4 riddles. Not bad..my group managed to solve 1 =)) They're not easy lor. Even I dont know the answer!!!

Along the way, we bonded with each other! Yes, these are 4 of the cute members.

yeah, its a super hot day today..and some are afraid of getting sun burnt!

A little kia su, but prevention is better than cure!!

Group shots, which is 1 of the requirements of the item list~ 13 13year olds! Good thing they are (generally) well-behaved.. else I will have a bad headache! Glad they led themselves and kept to the rules (yeah, most of the time).

The light that changes color amazes them!

They saw long plastic bags used to store wet umbrellas..and made these. lol~

They were damn thirsty and tired during the ending part of the race~ Like this...with this huge 1.5l water bottle. Funny sight! Small girl drinking from such a big bottle~

Oh, they bought these drinks. So cool! No wonder Yang Lin kept saying she drank anything this morning. I thought she was kidding with me.. She really drank ANYTHING!! omg!!!

Interesting facts about my group:

Kissing boyfriend dreams
sudden burst of enthusiasm
some dont care about appearance at all.. some are really vain!!
they absolutely LOVE to run on the escalator on the opposite direction~
they can even mistake rubber balls as golf balls!
they love to do headcounts~
they always say "keep up! you're lagging behind!"

Anyways, during debrief today.. The girls couldnt really hear what Im saying. Coz we're in an enclosed space..with A LOT of other people..I can barely hear myself too even when I'm shouting already! Yes.. This is my msg to you girls:

I hope everyone enjoyed the amazing race today..and take back with you some new skills and new friendship bonds! New skills like leadership which many of you displayed throughout the race (thou some died off lol). Yeah..and you girls are very daring, to be able to approach strangers to ask questions =)) Resourceful!! Its good that you girls take a very positive attitude towards the race despite being dead tired! Hopefully, all have learnt something new today.. be it better in directions, map reading, speaking, etc.

I love you girls! Pity I'm not posted to your school to teach or observe. Would love to see you girls again =)))

Updates on Grandpa

2007-05-19T13:09:00.000+08:00

He will be staying there till at least next week.. kinda weak now..on IV drip.. coz low blood sugar, etc. They suspect that he has broken bones. Still checking on that. He refuses to eat hospital food man.. It really looks yucky..which meant he didnt eat since he was admitted on thurs.. Went to Novena Square to buy his fav chicken pie for him.

Had to struggle to lift him to sitting position man..he's weak.. and i've got no strength. He managed to drink a little of the soup and a third of the pie. Better than an empty stomach.

My sis almost din go ytd.. coz she fell aslp on the sofa. Nearly killed her man.. when she din wake up no matter how i called her. BUt...its a free choice. I just told her to imagine that she is in the hospital.. and her granddaughter rather sleep than visit her. Then walked away. She finally managed to gt up a good many minutes later. Seriously, if she din go because she wants to sleep, i think our relationship will change.. I will have totally no respect for her anymore. Good thing all is well.

Danny came to visit too. Bought snow frog for my grandpa.. thats nice. =) He talked to my grandpa for awhile.. till he shooed us to go home as its getting late.

Gonna visit him again later..to bring him his magnifying glass and the food he wants. Plus, i can sense that he is quite lonely in the hospital..and wants some company. Will try to go there everyday.

Thank you everyone for the concern =)

Grandpa

2007-05-17T23:04:00.000+08:00

I came home this morning.. and found something amiss.

Both my dad and grandpa are out. For once, his door is wide open. He always locks his door when he's not at home.

I thought that perhaps my dad brought him to see a doc. He fell yesterday... Ever since, he doesnt seem fine at all... He goes out almost everyday.. but the whole of yesterday, he din even come out of his room...

Helped him dress the wound on his arm.. den dad bathed for him. The first time my dad bathed for him...

Since my grandpa isnt home and isnt well, I thought that I should wash his clothes for him. They are all stained with urine and shit.. so he usually does it himself. It was quite horrible.. but I'm determined to help him!

Thou I held my breath all the way, I got the job done! Funny, the whole machine came out of place while washing his clothes... Must have been too vigorous..

I was waiting for my grandpa to be back.. to tell him happily not to worry coz I've done his clothes for him.

The door opened, i went out.. only my dad and mum came back. Weird. I din ask them anything.. Thought that my grandpa went out alone which he does all the time.

Until late afternoon when I was going to leave for cell group. I asked my mum why isnt my grandpa back. She said "oh yah, you werent there this morning. your dad brought him to the hospital" -_- Of coz I werent there.. no 1 was there other than my dad and her. ... He was sent there to do some tests..

I was feeling low.. I smsed Danny to tell him that.. I thought that he would call me immediately.. but he just replied and asked me "then how?"

A little disappointing from someone you love..

If you would ask me who I always prayed for, its my grandpa. From the time I started praying, every single time I prayed, I never failed to pray for my grandpa's health. Because I see it deteriorating in front of my own eyes.. that he got weaker over time.

Just before cell group, my dad smsed me to tell me that my grandpa is warded. I showed Danny the msg.. and he din say anything, then changed topic. I guess.. I'm looking for the wrong person for comfort.

During cell, I couldnt control myself.. started crying. My cell leader asked me whats wrong.. when I told her, she got the whole cell group together..and prayed for my grandpa.. That is what I need.. Care and concern for my grandpa.. People who arent as close as Danny to me...

I dont want to blog about all these and then he sees it..so I told him straight how I felt abt the way he dealt with the matter. My disappointment... Am I expecting too much from the one I love?

The next thing he said...was that he cant be the one I need.

What do you mean by that?

So.. is he going to remain not being the one I need. or is he going to try.

I only said that he should show some concern for the situation. Even saying stupid things like my grandpa is going to be well would be better than changing topic.

I din noe what to answer him. I just said ok.

After a long silence, he told me that he would pay me back the money he owes me when he get his pay next month. Like why the hell do u want to say that?

It sounds like as thou he wants to break up or something. I have too many things on my mind already.. like how my grandpa always stood up for me when my dad beats me.. and I never defended him when my dad scolds him. ... My grandpa really loved me a lot...

......... zz.

L'Oreal Hairdressing Workshop

2007-05-16T14:22:00.000+08:00

Went for this L'Oreal hairdressing workshop held at Winston House.

Its conducted by this Austrian pair - hairdresser and color specialist.

Sidenote: Zzz..very sian that I cant play my Sims Life Stories now. Lent Xue Min the disc coz I tot I dont need the cd to play. =( So, not gonna type much....

This is the place

Yeah..before shot

Xue Min's Before

Our last pic with original hair together.

All the chairs lined up le. The people are pouring in.. they are mostly top hairdressers or salon owners..

-PROCESS-

The color specialist is a very pretty and friendly lady..
she complimented that i have nice face shape..and unlike most asians with 'flat' face, i have distinct cheekbones..haha made me so happy =D
she touched my head and said i even have a nice head shape. lols...!

She highlighted my hair (only a rectangular patch at the top) in a spiral manner.. supposedly very natural looking

Xue Min had her whole head colored without highlights

I dunno what color.. they used number codes. Hairdresser language arh.. chim.

After all the coloring, we sat there and watched the show. The first demonstrator had very long and thick hair.. So, dividing the hair just into 5 sectors, the pro taught how to cut from the underside..which is better coz wont be frizzy and still have the soft look.

A lot of hairdressing terms were used, thus not easy to understand.. The techniques shown are very interesting thou. I think I can cut hair for people liao after watching him do it. Its super easy and fast.. duno why some retards cut hair for 45 mins or 1 hr.. totally unnecessary.

When it was my turn, I was kinda nervous sia. In front of a small crowd..with my hair twisted and combed in joker way...o man. I juz looked at the ground haha.

I was done in a jiffy. less than 5 mins i think. He held the back and used the razor to slice it away in 3 moves. Did the sides. Style. Done. -_-

Then, its Xue Min's turn. He forgot to discuss her style with her..opps. started cutting le then remember. It turned out great..more defined hair cut.

lazy to elaborate..

wanna see the end results? ;)

-AFTER-

Oh man, its very short right?!?!
but its quite stylo...

After!

After~

Backview

How ya find my new hairdo??

Not bad lahs.. Free coloring which I really loved! Free hairdo. Free shampoos and conditioners.. plus being paid $50 for this. =D Good lobang, xuemin!

Sims Life Stories. . .

2007-05-14T23:10:00.000+08:00

OMG!! I've been so bored lately..that I dug around the house for my good old sims 2 disc. Cant find it anywhere..but found 1 that my sis bought on ebay sometime back..Dammit, not compatible with Vista?!?!

GOOD NEWS IS... Sis told me thats theres this Sims life stories thats made for playing on laptop! Wow!! Immediately, I googled it to find out more~! (I google everything.. like why my toe nail is bleeding on the inside, why my fingers are numb for the whole day, etc). Back to topic, its like too good to be true!! Hmmm, I'm going to buy it TOMORROW! Wanted to wait for danny to be back and make him buy it for me..lolz. Coz he has no time for me..so this will occupy me, which is good for him!! But hack lah..cannot wait liao!!!!!!!!

Boy, im damn exciteDD!

-

This morning.. I couldnt wake up!! Who could... after sleeping at 3+am.. then wake up at 7.30am? I only got up at 8.50am. lol! I take 40 mins to get to woodlands..and the class is 9.30am. Yeah, i'm always fashionably late!

I reached Woodlands at about 10.10am...Since so late le, no point entering. Went to the library to source for Cambodia books. Couldnt find it the other time..but, I strongly sense that there should at least be a few on it..since theres quite a bit of travellers' review on Cambodia online!

Good thing I'm hardworking!! Coz I found a very good book~!

I only read 6 pages so far..the introduction is about the history of Cambodia. yeah.. studied a little on South East Asia history in the Dawn of Asian Civilizations module.. I can picture myself there.. Looking at everything I've studied...COMING ALIVE!! Wow... what kind of feeling will that be?? I'm grinning from ear to ear just by the thought of it~!

At 10.30am, went for the New Body class... Oh shit man..!! Its freaking tough!!! All the toning exercises.. Got to use gym stick, dumb bells, step board, mattress, in the work outs~ Wah...... Its all about endurance man!! There are many times I just cant go on anymore!

Once, my arm muscles are really screaming liaoz.. Just nice, the instructor said that we could drop the dumb bells if we want. I gratefully placed it down.. even without the dumb bells, its super shagging. Not long later, I see Xue Min putting down hers too.. lols!!

Its good thou..since we girls always complain about flabby arms and thunder thighs~ I think we workout every possible group of muscles on our body le!

After the class, Xue Min and I went to have lunch. For me, I needed rice man!!!!!! Whereas for her, she had a sinful weekend...so she's looking for something light. Haha, I need to binge! I've been eating porridge all weekend lor...plus i only managed to finish my porridge for 1 meal - sat's lunch. the rest of the time..i only ate the fish..

Had no idea that Compasspoint's food court has so much range!~ Wah man, spoilt for choice!! Finally settled down on Grilled Chicken Rice Set..i think its indo food. NICE!! If they have it in NIE canteen, its something I can see myself eating everyday!! HAha!! Whole of last sem I was eating prawn mee. Whole of this sem i was eating cutlet rice. Whats for next sem?!!!

Oh yeahhh, we all got our pri and sec school postings le. I've got Edgefield Pri (only 5 mins walk frm my hse, woo!!) and Bowen Sec. Xue Min kana Greenridge pri and sec..and kept complaining about it.. hahaz. Complaining that its too near...and the students there are notorious.

She met her match when Pei Ying joined us! She havent checked hers yet. We told her that she is posted to Fuchun Sec..and she is the complain queen of da day!! The schools in Woodlands are more of neighbourhood schs.. oh well~

Met up with Abel and we 4 went for the Hip hop class~! Woah. Since there are no new comers today, the instructor went up a level. To me... its like.. went up many levels!! I cant catch up!!!

We broke out in sweat not long later..due to the pace~!! Super fast pace..!!! According to the instructor, her grandma hears her hip hop & r&b songs..and said they are all not nice.. but when she heard Gwen Stephani's Wind It up..She said its nice! haha! We danced to that too~

The highlight of the day is probably the steambath!! hee, we girls got curious..and decided to have a nice smoke out there! I dont really know the purpose of it.. its the company that matters~! We read the instructions.. Shower b4 entering. We girls rinsed and entered in juz towels..they still wanted to wear panties.. but no extra panties dey.

Feels shiok. Hmmm, i wonder... would I dare to be naked if Im at Japan's public bath? Hahs.

Would you?

I'm well!

2007-05-14T00:08:00.000+08:00

Yeahhh. I'm sick of being sick man~! I rather be healthy..have an enormous appetite and become fat..then desperately try to diet.. than being sick, have totally no appetite.. i cant even finish a small bowl of porridge the past 2 days. Damn, i ate so little..AND I DIN SLIM DOWN!?!

Too much fats in my body to burn off first i guess.

Danny booked out this morning, and came over my house with 4 bowls of beancurd! Woo...nice of him.. although my headache made me refuse to get out of bed for..perhaps a good 1 hr. So, he just sat next to me..while i laid there..complaining that he should rub my temples for me instead of sitting there doing nothing! ha!! If my headache gets better, we can go out le mah. (logic..) =X

I went to get ready around noon time. When I wore my new dress after shower, and he saw it, he immediately complimented that i look good. Woah, he's damn stingy with that statement 1 lehz.. Make me so happy can!! Heez! ^_^

Over at his house, we brought his family out for lunch at Swensens. They have this promotion.."More for 4" - 4 main dishes, 4 drinks, 4 sundaes, plus 2 side dishes @ $68. U do the math.. its damn worth man!!!!!! We ordered: Sirloin steak, Salmon and mushroom pasta, 2 fish & chips. Calamari rings & rodeo wings for side dish. Desert: Colt Tower, Banana spilt, Cookie Submit, Frosted Choc Malt. Plus the normal soft drinks. I think its a steal!!

Dylan is so cute.. hehee. Although he's a tad too noisy at times.. the things he do really melts my heart! Like.. feeding me the fish. offering me drink. haha! helping me carry my stuff to me. Ah, should have snapped some pics of him today!~

Throughout the lunch, i was kinda nauseous..and feeling hot and cold all over. Hmm, think my fever was back. =(

We still went ahead with the Chinatown plan. We have already decided on Cambodia..~! The dates are roughly decided too.. 13June to 17 June. Now..the question is: Follow tour or Free & Easy? Hmms. The price difference dont seem that great..HOW!

We met up with my family for dinner. Good arh.. both of us please both sides of the family! Haha! I was still a lil nauseous thou..so din eat much. I would normally enjoy anything to do with durian.. but, I stared at the durian cake and said NO to it!! No appetite..

Danny automatically went to the counter to pay for the bill of the dinner..wonder if my dad would be impressed at his initiative..hahs. At least, I AM! =D

My parents dropped us at Bishan. We got to the cinema area at 7.40pm..and theres 28 Weeks Later showing at 7.30pm. The rest of the shows are at 9+pm. We both decided to go for it, after he asked me wads it about. I told him its about some virus then the whole of London quarantined. Consequently, they slowly relocated back. OK, i guess i made it sound boring.

When the movie started, Danny turned to me and said.. "I thought your virus meant flu and cough....." Yeah,..the virus made people turn violent..bang their heads on the walls, bite others, heads explode.. LOL. Its damn gore lah.. very much similar to Resident Evil. Its not bad...the effects and all.

I realized that - the scariest part is not when theres loud sound..its when theres no sound. Totally quiet. The suspense. I had to keep preparing myself..so that I wont get a shock..!

Sad to say, the ending TOTALLY SUCKS! Its like.. a few humans running.. the end. Wad the hell?!?! Part 2 i guess... dots.

-

Haha, I discovered that when you're sick, you would stay at home.. and being at home, theres nothing to talk or blog about!! Freakin boring~!

Anyways, Im feeling much better! I'm going back to my exercise regime tml le with the girls~! =D I miss them already~ Miss the body aching feeling too! I think we go crazy on mondays.. HAHA! Because last mon, we attended Low impact aerobics, Hip hop and kickboxing. 3 classes in a day. Tml...we are going to:

Cardioblitz @ 9.30am
Pump it up with cardiovascular conditioning & rhythmic dance moves to spice up your workout! Perform movements in various directions coupled with exciting choreography, which is specially designed by Amore’s fitness team! Gear up for an intensive workout to lost that flab while having loads of fun!

New Body @ 10.30am

Friday Fever

2007-05-11T23:01:00.000+08:00

Suddenly received a call yesterday from my hall office...saying that if I dun pay for the hall application fee then they would withdraw my application. I already paid at NIE finance office..had no idea that I had to pass them the receipt. Haiz, my fault for not reading the email properly i guess. I was outside already.and they expected me to go home to take the receipt and go back hostel to pass them..like wad the hell.. anyway i managed to negotiate..and changed the deadline to this morning.

Belly Dance!

2007-05-09T23:33:00.000+08:00

Met up with my two travel kakis - Peiying and Xue Min, at Woodlands Civic Centre for our Belly Dancing class @ 8pm.

Description of the class:
Enter the exotic realm of Belly Dancing! With origins from the Middle East, expect interesting and sensuous dance moves which promises to be a great cardio workout too! Tone and trim your figure with the rhythmic movements and gyrations and achieve better flexibility, suppleness and an increased stamina. Expect to build stronger pelvic muscles for a leaner, fitter you!

Oooo, our instructor is from Netherlands..but stayed in SG for 16 years le.

We did a lot of basic technique moves - 'shimmy' (vibrating of hips), figure 8 hip rotation, etcc.

I think we look kinda chui~ Dont know what we're doing man!

However, this instructor is really keen to help us perfect our moves. She walked over to us several times to correct our moves.. and near to the end of the class, she told us to stand at the first row (oh no!!) so that we could see her steps..and she could check our steps better. Quite embarrassing arh!!

The 'shimmy' is really high level manz~~! I was struggling to vibrate my hips only but i guess i ended up vibrating my whole body~ Good thing she corrected me.. Feet should be flat to the ground. Only the knees, slightly bent, going back and forth. Then, the side that the knee is in front, the hip go down a lil.. yeah, do it fast and u get 'shimmy'. Its damn hard lah! My knees refused to move fast.. think amongst us, only Xue Min managed to get this!

The figure 8 move was much easier~! Perhaps coz my hips are more flexible~ but..when we had to combine 'shimmy' with hip rotation and/or shakes.. thats it!!

Generally, we had a good time.. thou I think the previous classes had been most fun. Coz we dont know wad we're doing..but we still went on and anyhow dance! LOL! This teacher is more serious in our techniques..which is good larhz.. Just that the fun factor decreased.

The class ended promptly at 9pm. We girls stood around and chatted..Peiying is going to clubbing later..so we were saying she could use the moves she learnt in ytd's jazz and today's belly dance there lols!! Show off the moves, gal! The teacher walked up to us and asked us how was it. She's so kind~ to spend extra time coaching us..in shimmy and figure 8 hip rotation.

On my way home, I cant help it that my glaze keep falling on this couple - the guy looks like an egg coz he is short and stumpy.. den the girl is tall and skinny. Its WEIRD! =/ Den the guy made this kissing face towards the girl..which made me hurry look away in disgust. They are sitting right in front of me..Had to look elsewhere or close my eyes man.

Then, it led me to ponder about Danny and I. How compatible do we look? I think we look good together lehz~ Both skinny and tanned type~! Juz that..he's almost 30cm taller than me man! Nvm, I juz bought a pair of heels the other day. heh =P anywayz, I've never been conscious about our height difference. I think its fine! The other day, when we were alighting from the bus, I saw him bend his head down from the corner of my eyes. Wooo, cool..how come I never noticed that b4! Hmm, I never have to bend my head down..when approaching low hanging branches, low ceilings, etc. LOLs. I like my height, thats final~!

Getting out of topic.. but i think this would be interesting. The other day, Danny and I were talking about when we think each other is attractive..and when its not.

Sebby about Danny:
I think that he is damn cute when he just wakes up and looks up at me.. LOL! The double eye lid beginning to fold up.. Awwww... Wanna pinch his cheeks feeling!

Then, I will never forget our first outing.. which is to Sentosa for a tan. He went for a swim and when he came back, he was dripping wet..He swept his fingers through the wet hair... hmmm. Super attractive. It might be that moment I'm attracted to him!!

So when is he ugly? I think none lah.. Thou sometimes I really feel that his head is too big...and eyes too small! HAHA!! Like a lot of empty space on his face! His eye plus eye bag = my eye sia.. HAHa!

Danny about Sebby:
He feels that I look the best when my wet hair is slowly drying up.

And I look horrible when its damn hot..and i just wake up with a messy hair, perspiring. =(

yeah.. so nowadays, I make sure my hair isnt messy!

Happy MAMA's Day

2007-05-09T22:46:00.000+08:00

My dad suggested an advance celebration for Mother's Day today coz Sunday would be too crowded everywhere!! Smart!!

Mummy wants to eat chinese food. She's the star today~! She calls the shots! Thus, we had dinner at Ding Tai Feng.

What is this painting saying? We only can read the first three characters - yi guo zi ???

I think we over ordered sia. So much food and we could barely finish!!

I was kinda forced to eat the Xiao Long Bao.. Oh man!! I only waste it when I eat..but my parents insisted that this is the best dish in this restaurant and its a pity if I dont try... So, I tried it to be a good sport. Ah... The first time I ate Xiao Long Bao was at Asian Kitchen with Xue Min, Abel and Iggy. I almost puked man..struggled to swallow it.

I bit off the top and sucked the soup first. Quite nice... ... Den, I stuffed the whole thing in my mouth. Errr, I almost puked for a brief moment. I cant take that pork taste.. After a few more chews, it got better.. Its quite nice lah, except for the first pang of porkiness.

My favourite is still the Red Bean Dumpling!! Ahhh!! It comes in 6 pieces. My dad and mum tried one each, leaving 4 behind. My sis was complaining that she's damn full and couldnt finish her noodles..So I happily tot to myself that I could have at least 3 of them to myself!! BUT, after trying one, my sister suddenly said her fullness went down and life bar went up..(what shit is that?) and took another dumpling!! -_-!!

To commemorate this day, I took a pic of my dad and mum hehe. Eh, I realized my dad has spiky hairdo now huh! Woah, cool~! Actually, I think my parents look much younger than their age leh.. guess how old are they?? hahaz!

Yeah, if you spend $50 and above, you can purchase a mother's day cake @ half price!! Its about $7+ only!
Looks good!!

Dance Dance Revolution!

2007-05-08T22:46:00.000+08:00

These 2 days have been really CRAZY! Because I have 1 over-ambitious gf - XUEMIN!!

On Monday morning, we met up at 10.20am. Supposed to be 10am...But, I was being a filial granddaughter ok!! Teaching my ah gong how to use the washing machine~ Anyways..Abel and Xue Min din reach at 10am also. LOLs!

Like excited little girls, we entered the Park Mall's Amore (a fitness centre). Our first time there plus first lesson...a little anxious! We attended the 10.30am Low Impact Aerobics class coz.. we havent been exercising for A LONG TIME! Yeah.. start easy first!! Very fun and we were praised as 'very good for beginners!' I was very 'siao onz' by investing all my energy in each step.. till somewhere between halfway to three quarters, my limbs refused to listen to me anymore. It just refused to move lolz!! My actions was super lagg. I realized I have problems with my left and right -_- It takes me awhile to figure out which is which sometimes =/

Since there's a little time before our next class at 2.30pm, we went shopping!! Advantage of a fitness centre at a shopping district - shop between breaks!! Walked in first shop.... then i buy bought a dress from Dorothy Pekins. Oh man, my first day I brought my ATM card out (coz wanna pay hostel fees) and this happened!!!!!!!!!?!

haha thats girls.. see other girls have it, also want to possess it. We end up trying each others' pieces! Guess which dress I bought?? Hahaa! Anywayz, its stupid to wear sport shoes to shopping! Not advisable!! Coz u will look spastic in every clothing you try lolz! Then, its troublesome to try shoes.. which explains why I can buy a pair of shoes.. 1 is size 36, the other size 38 -_-!! I dunno what I'm doing sia!! Take shoes also can take wrong size...............!

The hip hop class was also very fun!! though it was pretty tough to catch the steps when the music quickened. Everytime I looked at myself in the mirror, I cant help bursting into laughter!!! Its just funny!!!!! Overall, good workout!! Hehe, I like having fun while working out.. unlike jogging. I do it juz for the sake of exercising. I hate jogging, in fact!

We stood at the front coz we are noobtards so must kia su a bit. Theres one space right in the first row..and we 3 shy to stand there..So we played "odd one out". Yeah, IM THE ODD ONE OUT! I forced Xue Min to stand in front still.. I'm noobest-tard of alll...! In the end, I felt guilty..and replaced her.. then bully Abel ask her swap with me after a short break =X

We were pretty shagged out liao. But XUEMIN wanted to stay for kickboxing..Ok lor, Abel and I obliged. Wah man... I think Kickboxing is even more tiring than the aerobics or hip hop class before that! Or prolly because my body K.O. le. I punch punch hook hook flying kick sway sway... until my whole body jelly man. Good thing standing at the back this time. I was slacking away..I think even if I punched a baby with that strength, the baby also will bo hiew (ignore) me. The cool down exercise was the funniest of all. We were doing criss cross crunches on a mat.. I saw a slacker lying down...cycling her legs in the air..which others were struggling to do crunches. Its such a funny sight that I laughed and laughed until I din do my crunches too!! Yeah, that person is non other den Xue min la.. dunno what she doing man at first... End up, she confessed that she's a slacker!!!

Met up with Danny after the classes. Poof, I was so tired that I had difficulties in my movements!! Had dinner at mac. I needed some high calories foood!! Wanted to catch a movie..BUT theres only 3 movies showing at Jurong Point -_-. Spiderman 3, 200 pounds beauty, and 1 malay or thai movie. Damn! Checked out the travel agencies... Haiz, I wanna travel a lot...however, I cant bare to part with my money lehhh!! Not that I have much money to part with in the first place...! Dont care le... this hols must go somewhere with Danny! ^_^

Hehe.. showed him my aerobics, hip hop routine and kickboxing moves. HAHA!! I must have looked so spastic..! I just realized that actually my living room (the area between the two beds in hostel) isnt that big larh.. Or perhaps its due to too many things all over the floor~ Cant dance in peacE!!

Haizz! He went sailing again le! Yes, again!!! M i complaining?? Hahaa, no choice.. got navy boyfriend. He will only be back on friday.. and I miss him already~! He told me his working experiences in wild wild wet...which got me so excited!! WOoo! I think I wanna work there manz!! I'm currently inquiring if theres any vacancies there! I cant swim for nuts.. but.. I CAN OPERATE SLIDES!! Juz teach me can liao! Yah, EMPLOY ME!! I'm a friend of the Sun and water!!

This morning....MY GOD!! I was ACHING ALL OVER!! My right back especially...ouch* Wondered how m I supposed to do belly dance and jazz.. LOL. Nonetheless, I still went ahead~! First, walked to school (i thnk thats already enough for today's workout actually) with a heavy bag..Dropped by Dr. Fernando's office to check if my essay is ready for collection.

I got a B =(( He said I read and analyze well but I need to polish my writing a little - to have better arguments and logical flow. Also, my GRAMMER! Oh man... I think Im a person who lives in the past and present.. =/ I cant get my grammer right..!! The tenses are damn confusing. Any kind soul wanna teach me tenses? lol! FOR FREE of coz..!

Went to collect my academic writing essay too. Even more disappointing!!!!!!!! B-... Sobbbzz. I feel that I'm so far away from honours man... shit. I wonder how would I do if Im taking a computing degree? Maybe at least A- for all subjects lor... !! (*#$&%# I must work harder next sem le. Dr Fernando is so kind... he asked me to write a brief essay on my understanding of each tutorial for him after every class. I dont mind doing the extra work. I WANT TO IMPROVE!

Rushed down to Bugis to meet the girls. Was late coz din expect Fernando to talk so much. Belly blitz class!! A combination of belly dance and aerobic steps haha!! I think its very fun~! less tiring than the hip hop or kickboxing too~ Very elegant and sexy dance!!! The body curls and hip rotations almost broke my back!! After the class, my body felt better thou. Stretched all the aching parts..wooo. Feels good!! Ready to rock!!

Since we're at Bugis... SHOP AGAIN!! Oh man, when I smsed Danny to tell him that, he told me to save money hor!! reminded me of our plans to go holidays. SHucks!! I tried a dress I really liked again!!

I think it looks very sweet with the light blue and lavender checks!! Sighs... its $92. -_-!! Yeah...self control!!!!! I struggled to not buy it man. Danny must compliment me on that o k!! I listened to you leh!!

That two girls used my hp to take a photo and sent it for some job thing. $7.50/hr to give out flyers at City hall tomorrow from 9.30am to 2.30pm. Only 2 vacancies. DAMN! Xue Min was in a dilemma who to ask..Pei Ying? Abel? or Me? OF COZ ME RIGHT!! Out of the 3 of us, Pei ying just got a waitressing job at Turf City.. Abel is giving tuition.. I'm the broke one..who cant afford a $92 dresss!!!!!!!! Xue Min saw abel first...so she asked her. !!!

Pei Ying came down to join us. Just in time for the Jazz class!! Hehe, she heard about all our fun stories, thats why!! Wow, i think perhaps Jazz is the most fun?? The steps were less taxing and fast than hip hop..! The routine was sexy..with the body curls and sorts. So glad that Pei Ying enjoyed it! A new addition to our over-ambitious club!! One more person to back ache, shoulder ache, etc, together!

Anywayz, I need a rest!! Tomorrow, we're going Belly Dancing! LoLs!!

Colorgenics

2007-05-07T02:34:00.000+08:00

I got this from roomie's blog. Its so true that its kinda freaky actually.

A test whereby you select colors according to your own personal preference.. and it generates a brief report based on it. I'm not saying a lot of things on my blog... many things have been happening... this pretty much sums it all up.

You feel that everything is going against you and you are worn out and exhausted by all the conflict and quarrelling. You are trying to protect yourself but at the same time you are hiding your feelings, hoping that by so doing, you can avoid exposing yourself to attack. Hopefully this will give you the chance to get on with your life. Nevertheless, you should be very careful to try to avoid stirring up any opposition which might endanger your plans:

You are not be feeling so good at this time. Everything seems to be getting on top of you. What you need is a rest from all of the the present trials and tribulations in peaceful surroundings and with someone - male or female, it doesn't really matter - who can really understand you and appreciates your needs.

In spite of the fact that you believe that your hopes and ideas are realistic, it is hard for you to accept that your needs and desires are misunderstood by almost everyone within your sphere of influence and there is no-one to turn to or rely on. Your pent-up emotions and inherent egocentricity make you quick to take offence, but as matters stand you realise that you will have to make the best of things as they are.

You are feeling trapped by the situation as it stands at this time and what is more, you feel powerless to remedy it. You are stressful, angry and disgruntled. You feel that everything that you try to do to change the situation is thwarted and your hopes and aspirations all seem to be receding into the ever distant future. You have reached the state where you now doubt whether your dreams will ever be achieved and this is not only causing mental stress but heartache. You need to get away from it all - you need to have time to think, to recuperate, to be able to make your own decisions.

You are fed up with other people trying to influence you and you also feel that it is necessary to protect yourself from the threat that your independence and freedom may be restricted. You would just like to be left alone.

Tell me if its accurate for u.

Grandma's 77th

2007-05-07T00:54:00.000+08:00

Today is my grandmother's 77th birthday! My cool grandma..very small in size..thats why my mother and aunts are quite short i guess! and...maybe why im short?? =/

Been some time since I last gathered with them.. hMm, the last time was chinese new year, a few months back!

Went IMM Long Beach to celebrate her birthday. However, due to IMM's new extension which took up a lot of carpark lots, the reduced carpark lots coupled with still free parking meant that we had to go there extra early so that we can park there. Yes, EXTRA EARLY. Whoever goes for dinner at 4+? -_-!! Yeah.. and we still had to park at the top deck..prolly one of the last lots.

Walked past this furniture shop that sells interesting stuff - like this automobile beds..

can choose from sport cars, to fire engines haha!

See.. even got a toddler chionging to pose for me... but still too slow. toobad!

We whiled our time away at Daiso... Being poor kids who din bring any money at all, we're at the mercy of our parents' moods! If they're in a good mood, can take some snacks up to them haha! And they are! So we took drinks like Melon Cream Soda.. Chocolate biscuit with choc inside.. Strawberry milk powder etc. slurps*

Was hanging around with my sis and 2 cuzz, Michelle and Zhi Yao, a lot. Those who came for my 21st bday celebration should have seen them bah! Daiso is so big... till we could play hide and seek there lol!

Aiyoh, Michelle was telling us that she's very upset with her brother, Nicholas, till she cried this morning.

Angry Michelle: I wish I never have an oxymoron *#%&(#%& brother .... .... (she says oxymoron a lot)

Helena to Sebrina: Heng we are not like that

Joking Sebrina to all: I wish I never have an oxymoron *@&$@ *toot!*

Yeah, proud to say, my sis and I have one of the best siblingship among people I've seen. hee =D but she better return me two boxes of mochi..for eating up the mochi Danny bought for me to cheer me up the other time. GOT IT? She keeps insisting that she has no money to buy me back my mochi...BUT she somehow has the money to keep buying comic books. O.o

We waited quite a while for our seats. 2 tables. 1 table was ready and the other isnt. So the "senior citizens" went in first. haha!! Yah..got family politics one sia. Aunt Salome kept insisting that she's not senior citizen..so she sits on our table haha!

But in fact, its supposed to 'save' Michelle..from her mother.. coz her mum is damn strict manz! She even screams at me sometimes -_- in the past.

sebby, helly, michy, yaoly.
at the children table

Despite me being like almost a generation older than them, we hang out really well. Can joke and tease each other.

Sebrina to Michelle: You think I wear like that go teach primary school can anot?

Michelle: Cannot lah too sexy after the students cannot concentrate

Helena: Yah can see your boobs

Sebrina: But I teaching primary school leh

Michelle: You'll be surprised what they know sia

Sebrina: Oh yah hoh, you already started scolding 'fuck you' in primary 3

Michelle: Correction! Primary 2 already scold 'fuck you!'

Sebrina: Den i go teach primary 1 bah.

Kids nowadays.... Like little terrors. =/

-

The food was really greaT!! We din have set meal coz the manager, a friend of Michelle's mum, told us that all the dishes are pre-cooked..thus, it wont be fresh. He advised us to order ala carte which we did...

I dunno the names of the dishes.. theres this soup with lots of fish and mushroom inside.. which got Michelle ranting on and on like some ah ma coz she cun have her sharks fin. BBQ sauce pork..that tasted like chicken. Cereal prawns yum!! Spinach with all sorts of eggs. Beancurd with seafood. chilli crab. black pepper crab. roasted chicken. noodles.

Michelle is now known as the black pepper crab queen.. She almost ate the whole thing by herself. Only leaving like 2 legs. We made her finish up.. so that the crab can reunite in her stomach.. else she will get nightmares.. "eat me...." "eat me...!" My other cuz, Mitch, even turned the crab's eyes to face her... lol!

We displayed our siblings and cuzzies affection during the meal sia. Helping each other to take food, and all. My sister is so kind.. Since I let her have my crab claw, she peeled some crab meat for me.. Sweet right.. act like my mother liddat. Peeled a lot of crab meat for me sia!! ^_^ Din have to dirty my fingers..and can eat crab still~!

These are the LEFTOVERS!!!

The best part of the meal is undeniably the ......

DURIAN PUDDING / PASTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man...its like ROCKS to the core!!! So good.. I ate 2 and half bowls of that.. I'm really fortunate that my uncle, aunt and 1 cuz dont eat that lols!!! I cant describe it...Ooishi!!!!!!!!!! It tastes totally like durian..with real durian flesh inside..the whole thing is so smooth. Leaves a milky aftertaste in your mouth..like some durian cake. Ohhhhhhh!!

However, after the meal.. we are all damn full!!! Complaining about our stomachs..the exploding feeling! I dare not even cough.. coz I feel like I would puke everythg out!!

When we reached my hse downstairs, I made my sis and mum climb up the stairs with me. Just 16 flights of stairs nia.. I cheered them on!! I think my mum almost died.. Only at 5th floor already said her legs felt like stone. HAHA!! I think I got fitter leh! When I reached home, its like chicken feet sia!! Time to take part in vertical marathon!!!

Danny dropped by, coz he missed me too much haha! So sweet... He held something behind him and asked me to guess what is it.

Seb: Mochi??

Danny: No, no time to buy. (he rushed over as soon as he could)

Seb: RibenA!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha correct!! I keep craving for ribena nowadays!! =X Hehe.. He ownself make it at home..and brought a bottle of it over. Yeah..!! My sis better not drink it..else return me two bottles!!!!!!!

We wanted to watch some movies on my laptop.. but dunno what screwed up.. cant watch -_-!! Aiyoh, codecs stuff are so confusing! Install k lite codec liao still cant watch the show. Kaoz.

We just sat on the bed and chatted. About his friend having a baby next month.. wow. If im not wrong, the girl is younger than me -_-!! At least, she's xin fu.. He wants a baby too. LoL. His brother, Dylan, is so adorable~! I would love to have one.. but after my degree =)

Talked about my grandpa. My grandpa is 91 years old le. He's such a cool grandpa.. very little from this generation can speak eng, but my grandpa is educated in english up to junior college level in singapore. Yeah.. he came from a well-to-do family. Found out all these from my oral interview with him last semester..one of my projects for a history module. I did on oral history with a chinese man during japanese occupation.

The purpose of my interview is to find out how the Chinese were treated during this period of time. This essay shows the perspective of my grandfather on the Japanese and how he felt about them. His opinions towards the Japanese cannot represent the majority of the Chinese's feelings. Nevertheless, many of the events that were mentioned during the interview can be accurately traced back to historical accounts found in books.

Yah, thats one of the introduction paragraphs in my essay. =D

I feel thats my best essay to date. One that I'm really proud of! Hehe, I got an A for it!!

Then, we started talking about... travelling! That got me so excited!! We are discussing to go to Cambodia to visit Angkor Wat.. haha!! Or, maybe Stong, a waterfall in Malaysia~ Hmm!!

We will go to the travel agency tomorrow..to find out more!~

I wanna go somewhere this long hols. ^_^ Kinda tight on money thou.. anyone has anywhere to suggest? Cheap and zhai 1.. Dont say Indonesia or Singapore islands horr. Bali gave me a bad impression =/ Maybe Phuket?? Tioman?? Hmmms.. Vietnam??

Spiderman 3

2007-05-06T16:06:00.000+08:00

Danny and I suddenly wanted to watch the movie yesterday. Was supposed to go cycling but... uh, got lazy, and used the weather as an excuse. There was nothing wrong with the weather..its cloudy - perfect for outdoor activities!

Damn man, Golden Village website was damn lag yesterday. I think too much activities till internal server error -_-! We made do by going to neighbourhood cinema. Wanted to go Balestier Shaw cineplex but...freaking inconvenient to make our way there. We settled on the one at Yishun since there is a direct bus from his house to there. (His hse is extremely inconvenient to go anywhere! more end of the world than my Punggol!)

The first thing we did when we reached Yishun is to chiong to the cinema for tickets first. Phew, good thing the 8.30pm show still has the front four rows. We took what was left...coz we wanna watch it a lot! Plus..theres not much things to do at Yishun if we took any show thats later than that. Northpoint is a boring place man. However, I quite like the Popular there! Its big!! We bought glow in the dark stars from there! Speaking of which, I had fun shoulder seating on Danny to paste the stars on the ceiling while Dylan is watching with amazement~ Aiyah, sit on him awhile den he tired le. =/ It feels good to be sitting on him hhaha.

Back to Spiderman 3, my sis says Ghostrider is better. Danny and I both feel that Spiderman 3 is better lehz. I dunno if I'm watching a thriller or what. I got shocked and jumped several times...which is damn paiseh. Still have to act cool after that. -_-. And when I jump, I shock Danny too lolz. Prolly the lady on my other side oso LOL.

Good thing the ending doesnt suggest that there is anymore Spiderman haha! The scene that like evil against good (2 v 2; Sandman & Eddie VS Spidey & Harry) gave me that Fantastic 4 feeling.

I wish I have Gold class seats sia. Still havent been there..and such a nice movie deserves a better seating!!

Got to go celebrate my grandma's birthday le. Hehe, can get to see my cousins =D

After exams!

2007-05-04T20:57:00.000+08:00

Wow, it feels so good and relax after exams man. A good 3 months holidays before the next semester.

Wanna thank Abel and Xue Min here for your effort to cheer me up on thurs. Its damn embarrassing to sort of break down in school canteen omg! Coz you will be the bud of people's gossip for quite awhile! But thank God for the two sistas.. =)

Anyways, did quite a lot of things these few days. Church, shopping, birthdays, etc.

A shopping trip with Xue Min and Abel to IMM...coz of the Espirit Outlet there!
Wah, IMM really changed a lot from the last time I've been there man!
Heres xue min and me in the outlet's fitting room. I tot the jumper is kinda cute,
BUT NOW, we have to shop for "PRACTICUM-FRIENDLY" clothes!
Clothings that we can wear to for our 2 weeks observation period in pri and sec schools..happening in July!
Back to the Espirit Outlet...I think its damn worth to buy there instead of the normal Espirit boutiques.. cept that the choices here are more limited and with so many pieces, be prepared to bump into pple on the street wearing the same thg!!
-

On Tues, Danny and I went to our church's Family Day concert.
Yeah..concert. Not service.
Sun performed quite a lot of songs.. Milk performed 1 song! Woo, i like him!
Then, there were many hip hop and breakdance too which was so interesting!!
I love watching those dances!
Near to the end of the concert, the balloons were released from their nets tied high up above us! heee, had fun hitting the balloons!!~
-

HAha, this pic is lame but I wanna show the double eyelid lah.
Its the result of me crying so much lolz.
People go for plastic surgery to get double eyelid. I ONLY need to cry!!!
-

Danny's brother, Darren's, birthday today. Danny and I were discussing if we should buy cake or present or give him hong bao. At first, we settled on hong bao..coz teenagers would love money hahaha since they're still at the mercy of their parents' generosity.
However, I was having a craving for cake... slurps* Four Leaves' Coco Exotic in fact..=X
Thus, we bought a cake for him LOL.

Saw roomie's lab goggles lying around and fooled with it.
Yah, I know the pic is disgusting..
but funny right?? haha!
yeahhh need to laugh at yourself sometimes!

2007-05-04T13:51:00.000+08:00

I have come to terms with everything.

I will still be the happy seb everyone knows.

be back tonight!

happy birthday surprise! =D

God is amazing.

2007-05-02T17:07:00.000+08:00

I really wanted to speak to my cell group leader, Sheryn, on what happened so she could offer some advice on this situation. I din in the end.. But somehow, something led me to blog about it. If you noticed, I seldom talk about unhappy stuff on my blog. And somehow, Sheryn chose to visit my blog for the first time today since she's pretty freed up at work. God is amazing huh. It still leads to the same outcome even if its one round. Could be even better..coz I express myself better in words than verbally.

I'll share her email here. Maybe if you're facing similar situations, you can find comfort from this:

Dear Sebby,

I was quite free up at work and decided that I want to have a peak at your blog. I enjoyed reading youth blogs, which are creative, interesting .

I guess when I read your blog, I was not surprised as I could somehow feel things are not going smoothly on your side. Do you like to hear from me, my point of view and thoughts, since I did not hear from you to ask me about my opinion?

First, as a individual I strongly convinced that it's important that we need to love ourself and pursue our dreams. We do not need to come to a place where we only do things that will please other people, or even our loved ones. It does not happen what other people say, think or mind. I guess the most important is what does Jesus thinks about everything you want to do? We only have 1 life, life that is washed by the blood of Jesus.

The bible says that "happy are those whose lord is God' .

Lord= the God the you experience and trust in.

I am very sure joining POS is going to mark a chapter in your life, coz there's such an anointing u can experience, friends u can make, physical body that is going to be stretch.

It's a spritual boaster for all youths!

Yet, on the other hand.. your emotions are weak because you have no confidence in yourself and is afraid that the relationship be strained with Danny.

What is the best way that you can communicate with him? letters, emails?

Tell him your dreams, yr fears, and yr assurance. Remember the emotional roadmap that u learn in marriage seminar? Put into real life.

There are many things in relationship that after we put in our best part; let the other party begin to know how we feel and leave the rest to them and lift it in prayers. Put your hope and dreams in God's hands rather that situations, or people. If the person really loves you, be it family , friends or , boyfriend, he or she will begin to see, open up and eventually will support and encourage you to fulfill your dreams.

Remember, we cannot love without giving. The greatest giver is God. Even if you feel that whole world dun loves you, stay happy coz your God loves you still the same.

I highlighted a sentence in red..I guess thats what I need to do.

Despite the situation, I'm still very thankful for Danny. He wants to make up for what happened last night and I hope it wont be something using money. Im happy when he buys things for me..like ice cream, flowers, chocs, etc..but this time, I want something that he made with effort. hmmm.

Live for others? or yourself.

2007-05-02T07:09:00.000+08:00

I always wanted to join Parade of Schools, an inter-varsity cheerleading event yearly, ever since I watched the performance last year. I have been so excited about it..telling everyone to come watch me when I perform. Its just something I have waited almost a year for...finally its here, and im hesitating to join.

He doesnt like the idea of me being touched by other guys. I totally understand that..thats why Im hesitating. But its like my dream...if I dont do it, I'll most probably regret it for life...

I find it tormenting to have to choose his interests or mine. Its like an outright decision whether I gonna live for him or myself.

If I choose him, hopefully he'll be happy. I doubt I will be.

If I join, he wont be happy. I worry about the strain it might pose on our relationship.

I dont know what to do.................. i've been crying last night...haha dont ask me why. Guess i'm stressed and emotional. Must be the flowers..they are all withered in such short time. It somehow symbolizes our relationship, or perhaps all others too - that something so beautiful, so wonderful, almost perfect...like the 'honeymoon' period. then when they are affected by the bacteria and all, they die. just like problems...they kill the romance.

i dont have much time with him..yet I'm not treasuring the time together by crying and isolating myself from him. anyway, whats there to talk. its still the same issue over and over. I'll just say the same things.

I dunno how I managed to sleep last night with that throbbing headache. Its fucking horrible... No idea if anyone experienced crying so so much till headache sets in. I do.. I guess I cun stop crying becoz he din care about me. He just slept saying he don understand what im crying about since he told me to go ahead. I juz think its very forced..like girls saying "you want you go lor" which means u better fucking not go.

N just earlier on, he suddenly asked me not to join, and asked me if thats selfish. My headache from last night hasnt die down yet...and here it goes again. Ha. I teared n teared but he went on doin his stuff. Until I asked him is it that me crying doesnt mean anything to him. He says no..but his action says yes. We couldnt talk anymore becoz he has to book in.

I think before I join POS, it has already placed a great strain on our relationship. i feel so tired....

He is a wonderful guy...thats why im considering not joining. but i really feel damn sucky. i really want to join. who should i choose. myself or him.

China & India History

2007-05-01T00:37:00.000+08:00

These are my china and india history notes, and books from the library that I can lay my hands on for referencing.

Not easy leh, I think NIE people are kia su..and the library has limited number of copies.
At least I have 1 general book on china and india, 1 on india and 1 on china!!

I'm a noobtard who uses sec 2 textbook!!
However, the basic outline really helps a lot in giving me a general idea first before I go in depth!

A History of India!

History of China!
Cool sia, this book has a denim cover.

I drew a little stickman strip to help me better understand the relations between Sung court and its northern 'barbarian' neighbours. What if i draw that in class next time for my students to visualize? hmm. . .Sung court had been constantly attacked by its powerful northern neighbours, the Khitans and Jurchens. Thus, they were forced to pay more attention to countries in the southeast.

War with Jurchens broke out.

Sung was defeated by the Jurchens in 1234 A.D.

There are many more stickman cartoons i drew..but they are all congested together, which is kinda unsightly.

My silver medal for IHG Othello - my pride and joy!!
Proud of my team and myself hehehe!!

3 of the 5 seniors are in their last year, which means they wun be joining us next competition. Out of the 2 left, 1 of them is the captain who takes part in Singapore Othello Open..He is national standard de sia.. BUT U KNOW WAD! I just heard he got dismissed from NTU for academic matters..OH MAN my shifu!!!! Now left 1 other guy..Sio, who recruited me coz he said no 1 won him b4..AND I WON HIM! haha! Dots...Sio, me and the other freshie. -_- Looks like our othello team is in deeeeeeeeeep shit.

Exam is on thurs morning, meaning that I have to finish up by wed night. Till then!

1/3 or 1/4 done

2007-04-30T02:03:00.000+08:00

I studied one question today! On Indus valley civilization. You know, thats one of the oldest prehistoric civilizations alongside with China? Even Egypt and Mesopotamia din begin so early! Indus valley can date back to about 3000B.C.!

I'm 1/3 or 1/4 done, depending on whether I'm studying 3 or 4 questions. If I have the time, i'll go for 4 in case...dont risk!!

While I'm mugging, lets take a look at whats going on in my circle of friends' life:

Many fellow hall mates have finished their papers. -_-

Roomie has one last paper later on. Then, she's going home for good. I'll be all alone! She xiong sia..paper on wed, thurs, fri and mon. 4 consecutive papers oh man!!

Xue Min has math on wed and same history paper on thurs with me. She is struggling!! Poor gal... (Drop maths!!) haha! Jia you ok! Thanks sweetie for asking me come stay over in your room so I wont be alone! =) so thoughtful!

Abel..the latest in NIE..and probably the entire NTU and NUS to end.. haha she's having a lit paper on fri!

Daniel Foo: 2 papers tomorrow. he really wants to do well for his vietnamese module. This dude is taking vietnamese coz he wants to get a viet wife! lol! latest update from him was that he went mad.

Daniel Kwa: should be unsuccessfully mugging?? jia you jia you!

Kerry: studying his weakest subject! wow..tackling the toughest first! good start!

Thats all from reporter Seb!

Those who are still mugging, study hard!! Dont waste time reading my blog now..it wont run away!

Those whose exams have finished..how great! be kind and considerate to those still having their exams! Can be nice by buying them flowers as encouragement..coz some pple still single dont have boyfriends to buy them flowers!! E.g. Xue Min. (advertising for her) Guys out there, wanna win her heart buy flowers for her during her this period of haggardness!! =X Kidding....!!

flowers from danny to me!! =D

"where your money is, your heart also is" its true, you wont be generous to someone you dont love right???Even if u have got too much $$ to spare!! I can really see his generosity on me..even when he just bought a computer 2 weeks ago and is broke. He still insists on paying for the food and everything. He even gave me his debit card because he's worried that I wont eat when I have no $$. Coz I forgot to take $$ from home..and my mother confiscated my NETS card. o man!!

Went to eat Sakae Sushi on sat. My mum has 2 $20 voucher for it..but only gave me 1 of them coz she said 2 person cant even eat $20. Guess how much we ate...?? $47!!! -_-!!

A Sunday in hostel!!

2007-04-29T11:25:00.000+08:00

Good morning world!! I should be in church right now, attending the usual sunday morning service. But fret not, its not that I skipped church! I went for saturday evening service, thats why!! I'm planning to study in the hostel all the way till my thurs morning paper!!

Same thing. 6 questions, choose 3. I guess I'll study for 4 questions again that I spotted haha!! Hope this time can be more accurate man! This module's teacher dropped a lot of hints sia! He believe in giving question and let the students find out the info, rather than testing of memory during exams!! WOO!

Since its a great Sunday morning which roomie and I din follow our 8.30am gym plan (OPPS, I'm really sorry!! I cant even get out of bed... LET ALONE RUN!) =X I decided to share a little of what I learnt in yesterday's service.

It was an enriching one by Rev. Dr. Robb Thompson on the topic of Inspiring Excellence.

Many of what he mentioned can be found in our daily lives.. yet, we may not have given a deep thought about it. . . Whether you're a christian or not, its highly relevant to our day to day life..if you have the time, read on! =D

He started off by asking:

Which decision is more painful?

Momentarily saying "NO" to yourself? by resisting temptations,etc

OR

A lifetime of heaven saying "NO" to you.

Its like giving in to our wants VS heaven refusing our desires.

He added on "the waves of yesterday's disobedience will come back in tomorrow's seas of season"

What is your manifesto? (a public declaration of our standards and principles)

What do others think when they think of you? What do you represent in their eyes?

My cell group leader asked me that.. the first word that came up to my mind is... bimbo. dotdotdot. BIMBO?!! no way!! I rather be known for being brainy than pretty.. can be both thou haha!!

1. No matter how difficult life may seem, we must never let our circumstances dictate our decision.
(Ruth 1:1-6)

The righteous should never change their principles. Like a student saying I will get GPA of 4.5 no matter how difficult the module is. Not: Since this module is difficult, I aim for 3 can le. FOLLOW your goal still!!

2. You will either raise your standards to meet your expectations, or lower your standards to match your performance.
(Isaiah 59:19)

It falls into either one, so dont feel bad when you dont do as well as you wanted to.

When the devil shows up, raise your standards and be stronger. Make it higher than the devil can put any pressure on you. Because the higher your standards, the greater the blessings God is going to pour unto you!

3. Only the irresponsible are willing to sacrifice the future in order to enjoy the present.
(Psalms 11:3, Luke 6:46)

E.g. Premarital Sex. It doesnt go away, it only shows up later.

Dont practice God abuse : the idea that you can get away from something with God, that the world wont let you get away with.

4. The portrait of your life is painted with the brush of your character.
(Joseph in Gen 39:7-9, 41:37-42 VS Judas in Matt 26: 14-16,27:3-5)

Joseph is a man whose character led him to the palace and be the father of the nation.

Judas' lack of character led him to hang himself because he betrayed innocent blood.

So, today... hows your character? Is it one of integrity? dignity? Are you a forward looking person? Or one who lives in your past? Do you TONA (talk only no action)?

5. You can never know a person by what they say , you meet them the moment you;re willing to believe what they do.
(James 2:14-18)

We can see what a person believe in by what they do. In short, its trying to say..that u're being 'judged' by your actions and behaviour, not by your big talk. You can say many things, and you can dont fulfill them.

It is important to stand on what is right in the midst of what is wrong. It doesnt matter if they fall. Dont stand for the right reasons - that is people. Stand for God.

6. The productivity of any relationships is dependent upon the stand around it celebrates.
(John 15:4, Pslam 119:79)

The scriptures in the bible is not written about how much God loves us, but how much HIS PEOPLE LOVE GOD.

In your circle of friends, do you find this?

a. My friend must be committed to life long relationship. (no pt having a short term friendship eh?)

b. My friend must be moving to a productive future. (hang with pple going somewhere, not nowhere. a winner, not a whiner)

c. My friend must be generous. (generous in giving me compliments?? ^_^)

d. My friend must qualify to receive my seed. (someone who deserves my time)

e. My friend must celebrate character before friendship. *** this is important!

Meaning - If i did something wrong, you must lemme know..so I can improve/change for the better. (If its very irritating for me to keep asking you whether I'm fat, tell me ok??)

f. My friend must be willing to confront my enemies. (yeah, thats a good friend all right!)

7. There is nothing more dangerous than the moment you become a hostage to yesterday's comfort zone.
(Phil 3:13-15, Rev 3:14-19)

E.g. memories that tells you negatives things, give you negative thoughts.

Thus, the future will never become what we want it to be.. coz you keep living in the past!

8. Whatever you refuse to confront today, will be next to impossible to conquer tomorrow.
(Matt 5:29-30)

E.g. Cancer. If you cant accept it today, it keeps growing. By the time you go to another doc, it would hav become worst.

The giant will never be any smaller than he is today.

Failure is when people listen to themselves, instead of talking to themselves.

They listen to the 2 words: "I CAN'T". No thats not true. because -"I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!!"

SUMMING up,

Learn how to sacrifice today, to enjoy tomorrow.

Learn to conquer greed (our wants) - by making the chose in the morning to be a GIVER! by taking what we have and give it to God.

-

Ok, hope you learned something!!!!!!

I shall reply to tags here otherwise I'll flood the tagboard!

I'm a tattoo master too

2007-04-25T23:35:00.000+08:00

One fine day when Danny is sleeping and I'm pretty stressed up studying. . .

I did something evil! (hiak hiak)

To Danny's tattoo.

I made a nice add on. He should seriously considered extending it that way.

What do u think? hehe! I'M GOOD RIGHT?

-

Anyway, I saw a lamboghini the other day at Funan Mall. Hmmm, my 2nd time seeing one. First was on the streets while Danny was mentioning about it, and next moment, we saw it!!

I just wanted to stand beside it HAHA! Damn, sis and I din bring our hps nor digicam camera. =/ Used my mum's 1.3mp hp camera.

I think if I show too much excitement to pose beside this car, its a little childish and unnecessary?? haha! But I jumped right into the camera while my sis was taking a shot of it. =X Yeah, my sis called me an "EXTRA" bleah. I was like.. "take me with it, take me with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" My sis reluntantly obliged. Here goes!

Bad dream neutralized

2007-04-25T18:19:00.000+08:00

I woke up from a bad dream this morning. It was so real that I was disoriented for quite a while.

I dunno what led to this...but all of a sudden, Danny wanted to break up. I felt so lost. He said he wont break up with me de.

Holding Dylan's hand, I brought him along to find Danny.

Somehow I had some info that Danny will be at this bus depot. So many freaking buses... Searched each one but din manage to find him.

Bumped into a friend of his...who said that recently, he had been going out with this 2 girls.. Jean and ???.

My heart sank. I led Dylan home.. Little Dylan has grown up in my dream. He's in his pri sch uniform and in spectacles.

Sad dream. However, when I think back now, its quite funny.. the Dylan part.. a good 4 years b4 i see him in pri sch uniform. I wonder did I grow older in my dream? I should be at least 25 omg! (I want to remain 21 FOREVER!!)

First thing I did after I realized its a nightmare was to sms Danny. He's out sailing again.. Left on Tuesday morning, and will only be back on Thurs.

A long while later, he replied me..telling me that he had a good dream instead, which can neutralize my bad dream.

In his dream, I was being bullied by a few guys.

He protected me and we made love. (-_-!!)

heehee, that did help make me feel better abt my bad dream. Make love.......... dotdotdot!! Thats a wet dream!!!

-

Our relationship has reached a higher level on Monday night.

We shared all our thoughts about everything. And compromised on certain issues.

I really told him everything about how I feel. I never mentioned it b4 becoz I was afraid it would affect our relationship in a negative way. Thank God it was the other way round.

It felt so much better saying out.. He was very receptive, understanding and patient. =)

We made a promise to each other - that we would share EVERYTHING. yeah~

After that, I smiled to sleep. I'm sure he did too!! =D

To all guys

2007-04-25T15:42:00.000+08:00

i read this on my roomie's friend's blog

(credits to her frankness and creativeness)

For the guys out there,

... who are always complaining about us girls. being too sticky, no freedom, cannot do the things you really want to do, cannot go where you want to go. actually, having a girlfriend=you belong to us only. in our dictionary, it would be only natural if you spend all your time with us. the logic goes, only when we are out, then you can go out. when we are free, you must be free for us. when we are at home, you must be at home, unless that day, we feeling damn happy then there will be an exception. bottomline is, YOU CANNOT LEAVE US ALONE IF NOT WE WILL FIND TROUBLE. for me, it works if you flood me with my favourite DVDs. like that time, when i was addicted to Sims 2, i told my boyfriend i was sick and couldn't go out. but i was at home chionging to build up my Sims family. just KEEP US OCCUPIED SO WE WON'T FIND TROUBLE. damn simple logic. now you know...

please don't ever lie, because if you get caught, we will bear a grudge for the rest of our lives and bring this old shit up at every single quarrel. & we never get angry for nothing, that's what you think. there's definitely something, and if you don't find out what's that something, you have to live with the trademark "black face". if you really can't find out what is it, just say sorry. lol.

& our yes means no, our no means yes. please look at our facial expressions; is the KEY. how come until now still cannot get it?! when you ask whether you can go out with your friends, & you hear something like, "you want you go lor." you better freaking hell stay at home.

sigh, damn problem child. but we're made this way. like how you all are made to think with only one head at a time.

but, no girlfriend, then complain lonely with nothing to look forward to in life.

I find it funny, and true at the same time...lol.

Whats more, this creative girl came up with an application form for boyfriends to go out! (Girls will love it, while the guys will hate it!)

What about girls who wanna go out? I dun think we really need a form...but if the guy insists, here goes:

Who's this mystery boy?

2007-04-25T13:43:00.000+08:00

Yeap, I think I havent disclose his real identity yet. He is Danny's brother, Dylan. 3 years old! Very adorable!! Danny is 21..and his youngest bro, 3...So, human reaction would be... "accident??" haha!

I get along with his brothers well! and his mum too. As for his dad, din get to talk to him much becoz he's only back late from work.

Dylan loves me so much that he knows my name and pronounce it very accurately!

"Whats jiejie's name?"

"SEBRINA!"

"Whats korkor's name?"

"ah boon!"

"Whats lao da's name?"

"errrr........." (cheeky face, trying to change topic)

"Whats lao da's name?"

he asks us back, "Whats lao da's name???"

we all chimed "DANNY"

"Danny...."

and awhile later, he forgets Danny's name again =X

Recently, Im teaching him how to say "I love u!"

He kept saying "ar ta chew!!"

but the other day...I said "I love u" to him... and he replied "I" "love" "you".

Wah.......... my heart melted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-04-25T00:29:00.000+08:00

I'm so happy to get a brand new laptop! YEAH!! In spite of macbook's beauty, i went back to my good old trusted Toshiba protege series. I've been using this series since I owned a laptop. Its light, sturdy, good.

new hostel decoration!

2007-04-23T21:56:00.000+08:00

Yeap!! So delighted with my new photo collage on my hostel room wall! Thank you Danny for your printer ink =X i printed all these pics with his photo paper and ink!! So kind!!

This little gallery of mine makes me glad! Because each photo holds special significance to me. ^_^ hehe.. from afar, it kinda resembles the shape of Singapore island..dont u think?? Or I studied too much of Singapore le..

Just had my Singapore History exam today.

Its 6 open ended questions choose 3 to attempt. I spotted and studied 4 topics - re-assessment of Farquhar's role in Singapore history, colonial society, post war politics, merger and separation...

Was pretty confident that these 4 topics would come out in 4 of the questions man. Xue Min and Abel spotted 3 topics..almost similar to mine except without the post war politics.

Felt the exam anxiety b4 entering the hall man. Gave the 2 girls a hug each..wished them all the best..and we entered hell.

The waiting to flip over the freaking exam paper to see the qns was..horrible. like a suspense thriller, watched 3 hrs still dunno who's the killer feeling haha.

Yeah, at 1pm sharp, I read the qns..and K.O. man...only 2 of the topics i studied came out! The other 4 was on archaeological evidence, japanese occupation, Goh Keng Swee/Lim See Kan role in nation building, and globalization.

Seriously, I didnt touch on any of these topics.. =( I could have attempted the japanese occupation 1. but the question is: How did Japanese Occupation cause a watershed in Singapore history? Something like that. WTF is a watershed?!?!?!?! I know what is bloodshed but i dunno watershed. -_-!!!!! Since I dunno, better dun try my luck. Well, after the paper, I learnt that it means TURNING POINT. EH... this qns is damn easy 1 lor.. =/

I attempted the globalization qns. I think its damn difficult..but hack, I had to crap! Or come up with crap! The question is : Singapore history and past has no implication on her aspiration to be a global city. Discuss.

Ah! Enough of my history paper! Next paper is on China, India and South East Asia history.. I think thats more difficult bah, as compared to Singapore history - something we know since primary school.

hehe, heres two of the personal hot favourites of mine on my wall:

He wants to gimme flowers! hee!

He wanted to take a photo of me..
i posed for him le, den he suddenly turned the camera to face himself and posed!
haha, the beginnings of ZI LIAN!

Anyway, I wanna share about my talk with roomie..

We had a long talk on Sunday night.

About our relationships (with God, our boyfriends, family, friends), struggles and stress.

Our relationships with our boyfriends are putting strains on other aspects of our lives. Unknowingly, having a non-Christian boyfriend has pulled me away from God. Roomie also faces this problem. No wonder my leaders discourages me to hav a non-christian bf..

It caused us to draw further away from our family and friends as we spend majority of our free time with boyfriend. Its not our boyfriends' fault.. we also wanted to spend that time with this new attraction in our lives.. hehe. u noe..honeymoon period.. just cant seem to have enough of ur darling. =X

Somehow..we ended up finding ourselves in a world revolving only ard our bf. I dun mind that, but I dun wan to fall away from God... I cant help losing my faith and strength.. The pressure from my cell group leader is far too great that sometimes I just dont want to answer her calls and smses.. I know her good intentions thou she needs to understand that not everyone have that same level of passion.. Hais!!

I din attend church on Sunday because Danny wasnt feeling well. I was obliged to take care of him..whereas my leader told me to come church so that I set a good example for Danny.. Its like a straight question asking me to choose between Danny or God. I chose the former...

I even contemplated the thought to stop going church. Then, i remembered the upcoming church cheerleading competition. Maybe it will be a great help in renewing my faith by associating more with fellow brothers and sisters.

It upsets me that my relationship with God has reached this stage.

However, after speaking with roomie, our joys are multiplied, our sorrows and struggles are divided. It is really wonderful to have a christian roommate.. because we could pray for each other. Its like a relationship with God in the middle..really thankful for her. I came to appreciate her a lot more. =) And I felt my mindset about God renewed. I'm set on restoring my relationship with Him! I want to have this kind of relationship with Danny too!

A visit to the MUSEUM!

2007-04-20T01:17:00.000+08:00

Danny and I visited the Asian Civilization Museum because I really wanted to go to the Mystery Man exhibition. Its about a recent excavation in China:

In 1986, brickyard workers in Sichuan made an amazing discovery. They came across a sacrificial pit which was filled with elephant tusks, bronze human heads, ceremonial jades and gold. Fantastic-looking masks – some with protruding pupils, large ears and attachments to the forehead – were excavated and found to have been made some 3,200 years ago. The site known as Sanxingdui was to challenge all previous understanding of early Chinese civilisation.

YAH, so interesting right!! Its free for NIE students somemore!! What a bonus!!

Yes, we went on the last week of this exhibition...in fact, the LAST DAY!! 15 Apr!! The website said the admission charges for this exhibition is $8 BUT when we entered and wanted to pay, they said its FREE!! double bonus!

oh man... im a history student.. and I need to refer to Dictionary.com to find out how to spell archelogical. So, dont make the same mistake as me!! Its ARCHEOLOGICAL! Not bad...I almost got it right!

While we were inside, we walked thru the Singapore galleries about life along Singapore River, Southeast Asian galleries about Hindu-Buddhism influence in the area + textiles found there, China galleries on 1 of the most impt symbols in Chinese culture: Dragon, and the Emperor aka Tianzi (Son of Heaven), moving into Mystery Man (like finally) which is our original intention for going there, lastly.. South Asia gallery on religion, science and performing arts. In South Asia existed one of the earliest civilization of the world, plus its the birthplace of Hinduism and Buddhism!!

Enjoy the slide show - a visual tour of our journey in the museum!

Krabi's simple life

2007-04-18T22:21:00.000+08:00

I miss the laid-back life of Krabi!

Wanna share with u peeps the scenic shots of Krabi island, Thailand, near Phuket.

Acknowledging Yi Jie's and Derek's good photography skills.

Enjoy. =)

would love to go back there one day.

Trip to Underwater World

2007-04-17T00:29:00.000+08:00

Been ages since I last went to Underwater World. My memories of it is faded bits and pieces. On a beautiful sunny afternoon of Saturday, Danny had the honour of bringing me there!

But first, we were approached by this guy carrying a snake asking if we would like to pose for a pic. I said no and asked Danny to go ahead. He did so bravely..while I stood there giggling. Ended up that the guy asked me to stand in front of Danny. He placed the snake ard Danny's neck as I held up the head. Ooo...I was scared at first. However, the snake is totally harmless man. Doesnt even move. . .and its so dry! Like a fake snake!!

Hey, in fact, its pretty fun!! I happily shook the snake's head and shocked the hell out of the guy. His bao bei snake...I almost broke its neck. Opps. Was trying to provoke the snake to see its reaction haaha!

Before entering the place, we took a look at the giant aged turtles swimming amidst the fishes~ Wow, quite a few of them!! the baby one is cute!!~

Looks more like a bird huh!!

Inside, the first point we checked out is the touch pool. Wooo, managed to touch a starfish...which feels very different as compared to the ones I felt in Krabi. This feels like stone..and I din dare to pick it up at first haha! The sting rays felt slimy..!!

then, it was the coral tanks. ah, i love coral reefs..coz they're so colorful~

fishhhiee fishie!

it would be great to see this in the snorkelling trip i went the other time..
sad to say, most of them were dead

A seahorse!

Polka dotted shrimps!

Dragon Eel

Sea Angel.
Its so small!

some crab

huge spider crab
as big as me!

Wah, good shot, sebby!!
weedy seadragon

In the tunnel!
freaking crowded man!!!

No idea why all the sharks there look super stone man!

Jelly fish!!

So thin, its almost invisible!

A little sea community!

this fish is soo special!!
UNICORN fish!!

A wonderful trip as promised by Danny. Hehee, we wish to visit to all the attractions in Sentosa one day. =D After seeing the pink dolphin performance, his inspiration to be a marine trainer renewed! Hahaa! All the way yader about it excitedly~ -_-!

Besides Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon, we tried the Skyride and Luge before we departed. Wooo!! Its so scary man!!!!!!! I felt so helpless with my feet far away from solid ground!! Moreover, Danny is making no effort in calming me down :\ baddie!

The Luge was fun. No wonder its motto implies that once is not enough, coz it really isnt! I would love to go on it a couple of times more..if its free! Islander skyride + luge is $5..cheap, thou not that cheap to do it multiple times!

What else is there to try in Sentosa? Maybe...shall visit Fort Siloso, watch Songs of the Sea performance, try the Sky Tower... !!!!! =)

Vienna BUFFET

2007-04-15T23:35:00.000+08:00

You're on a Room Tour

2007-04-12T14:44:00.000+08:00

The hot topic these few days are not about the ministers pay rise, nor the GST increase... but:

"Hey, still staying next sem anot?"

Thats what everyone is asking everyone else, for the hostel stayers.

Roomie and I have decided to stay on without moving out at all. Meaning that we'll pay even during the 3 months holidays. Thats a good $160 x 3.

Why? Because ITS TROUBLESOME to move out..I have a lot of stuffs. And with many blocks going under renovation, its going to be harder to move back in once I move out.

Anyway, we opted for the same room again.

We chose this room because:
1)its damn near to the toilet. I can bump into my friend who is walking back to her room down the corridor while going to the toilet to wash a cup. When I finish washing and walk back to my room, I see her still walking -_-

2) When it rains, the structure of the building protects our clothes from being drenched. Seems like only the second floor have this privilege.

3) If you arent fussy, its not that bad. . .

4) We walked past hall 2 and looked in. We both thank God that our room is much bigger than that. You can even perform a hip hop dance routine in our "living room" (area between the beds)

5) You take 199 in and alight at the first stop. You take 199 out and board at the last stop.

Since I'll be staying for at least 1 more academic year, I'm thinking of decorating the room up.

Nevertheless, you're cordially invited for a Room Tour!

Of Goh Su Wei Michelle, and Goh Min Yu Sebrina. Sounds like sisters huh!

W e l c o m e to our room.

Its a male toilet,
its a court room,
its a mugger place.

Shoe racks are provided on both sides

my roomie has A LOT of shoes!
or is it I have few shoes ?

Taking a peep in -
This is our sty.
Seriously, its not that bad to stay here.

On my side,
starting to get a little messy again.

My nightly companions
as usual, xiao xin is distracted by something else.
"Ooh??"

Thats my closet.. lets open it up...

ooooooooh god!
time to pack the cupboard!
might as well clean it too. heard that, danny?? =X

The place i spend hours on. other than the bed.
not my new laptop arh! its my mum's.
sometimes, i really think the table is TOO SMALL!

3 stalks of white roses :)
while danny sails off for 5 days.
so easy to keep me happy.

Ecc 3:11 :)

Hall information
impt! when you wanna order mac and need postal code! heh.

FOCUS! yes, I get distracted easily like Xiao xing.
And JOY does not depend on your circumstances, it depends on your thoughts and upon your relationship with God =))
"Joy is different from happiness. Happiness is dependent on what happens to you. Joy is the fact that no matter whats happening, God's on the throne!" -Casey Treat

My bible reading chart. ehhh.. undisciplined me.

Our bar fridge. The nutella has been there for more than half a year. I think its still edible.

all our craps. drinks, jellys, yoghurts,
(theres even a can of beer hidden!)

the freezer compartment. why is the ice thickening??

the other side!
who do you think is messier?

Ok thank you for staying tune! I'm off with my blue fingers massager!!
ooooo, feeeeels good!

for one more day

2007-04-11T23:02:00.000+08:00

Bumped into Xue Ling and Wei Yuan at Canteen 13 while roomie and I were there to treat ourselves to some korean food! Xue Ling is still the old candid her..with that classic bimbotic "HELLO!??!" and "Whateva!" Oh yes, this cute little girl just got her car recently! An orange Chevrolet (damn, i din noe how to spell this word! had to google it and get corrected =x ). We went up to her room in hall 16 to get my SUPER BELATED birthday present. HELLO!!?? More than 2 months leh!!! Thanks Xue Ling and Wei Qin for this wonderful book =)

"If you had the chance, just one chance, to go back and fix what you did wrong in life, would you take it?"

For One More Day is the story of a mother and a son, and a relationship that covers a lifetime and beyond. It explores the question: What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one?

I finished the book within 3 hours. I just sat there and read all the way, with occasional snacking of yoghurt and liang cha. Towards the mid of the book, I started tearing..somewhere ard 3/4, I started crying. Haha, its a sad book i guess. The author had done a good job...of capturing his reader's attention and emotions. On the other hand, its kinda like an inspirational book. It makes u self-reflect on your actions and tells you its never too late to make the turn. Never too late to make things right again.

Yes, I'll work hard on that.

how about a Macbook?

2007-04-11T01:36:00.000+08:00

Hmmm, I'm thinking of getting macbook. Went to several stores ard Vivo today and only this caught my eyes. Retailing at abt 2.2k for duo core 2, 1gig DDR2 ram, 80gig hard-drive, etcetc.

Anyone know where have better deals? Like give away free printers, mouse, etc. heeee. I'm kiasu!!! Gotta check out Funan and Sim Lim soon!!

The salesman told me it might be slightly harder to maintain..as compared to black models. Therefore, black macbooks are more ex -_- bet u din noe that too right!! or is it just me? haha! Cant recall what led to it, but the guy talked about people who have 'toxic' fingers..use the keyboard till the letterings are gone. HEY, that sounds like me!! My sis was sniggering when she heard that. The guy went on that in such cases, its usually guys with super sweaty palms. O.O" I looked at my palms and..... *swallow* Fine.

No lah, its because i was a gamergirl. The keys with missing letterings are those frequently used keys..like hotkeys for skills of heros while playing dota, and hotkeys of WorldOfWarcraft - the 'a,s,d,w' for walking, and inventory, skills, etc. I think I was a quite pro gamer man..for a girl. haaa, those were the days. Playing games are a waste of time. What did I achieve from those countless hrs spent? Just entertainment...thats all.

back to macbook... Its sleek and beautiful. The white makes it look classy and pure at the same time. I WANT A MACBOOK!!!

I'm back, from hell!

2007-04-09T17:27:00.000+08:00

WASSUP EVERYONE! I'm back from hell!!! Wah, the past week was really hell.. 3 essays to hand in. Still, I had my fair share of playing and slacking while working hard. Yeah! So many pics to share =D Enough of writing..I wrote a total of abt 8000 words for these 3 essays.

This is my laptop screen.

Before it blacked out the next time i switched it on.

time to get a new laptop !! ^_^

Danny gave me these to encourage me! Heeee, flowers never fail to brighten up my day.
i'm a girl afterall!!

Home sweet home with many barangs. (all my stuff)

Doin my proj at his hse. Thats "A History of India" on the right.

Continued my essay marathon at home. Sis testing out the anti blur function with me shaking my hands. Covered my face coz I looked extremely haggard!!

Went out with him to celebrate his brother's birthday~

guys doing their fav activity: watching soccer.

Hottest Teacher?

2007-04-04T15:11:00.000+08:00

Bumped into my friend's friend whom can be technically be classified under my friend - Ben (i dont know its Benjamin or Benedict thou), one of Xue Min's hall friend. We saw each other from afar, he was on the bus and I'm at the bus stop waiting for another bus. I looked at him and smiled..and he was giving me strange looks...recognize me yet dont know who I am. Finally, after some long moments, he made the "ORHHHH!!!" face and waved for me 2 come up the bus. I wanted to take another bus which is faster...but..oh well. Anyway, it proved worth while...u shall see why:

On the bus, he introduced me to his friend -Janice. She claimed that I'm very pretty...a bit awkward, thanks thou hahaha. Asked me more about my teaching stuff..and when I said I will be a pri sch teacher, she exclaimed that I would be the hottest teacher in pri school. HAHA that made my day LOL. ^_^ She asked Ben to consider me..HELLO??! His gf is hall 11 pageant queen!? He joked that if he had no gf, he would consider. Janice crapped on that not compatible anyway..(i deserve someone better) HAHA!

I dunno if the pretty or hot part is joking or what. However, it seems like when I put on contact lens and apply some powder, I would get compliments like "hot babe" and sorts. I strongly believe that an average looking person can be value-added by style and dressing. I guess I fall into that. They havent seen the pretty pri track teachers like Cindy and Lily man...both whom happens to sport short hair too. I feel that pretty girls in short hair are cool and stylish...while the typical long hair pretty girls are urm...feminine and (in my opinion) more on the frail side hahah. Shit, think Im offending quite a lot of people with that frail word LOL. coz my all my pretty sisters have long hair. What I mean is... weak? vulnerable? Good wad right? guys like this kind of image? OK, ZIP b4 i go on offending more. Anyway, short hair only suits certain people..and same goes for long hair. Hence, forget my stereotype.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Feel like discussing what I have learnt 2 hrs ago about Singapore: Nation Building. We were discussing the social policies and moral policies introduced in our immediate independence years. Lets take a deeper look at them

Social Policies:
1. National Cohesion
acts as a "social glue". To promote equality among all race and religions, reaching out to all Singaporeans regardless of background. Its aim is to promote unity and social equality.

2. Housing policy (is it a HOUSE or a HOME?)
It is a method of desegregating the homogeneous enclaves created by the British with those town plans based on race. Also, it serves to solve the severe shortage of housing and overcrowding problems.
20 period loan was introduced and the use of CPF to pay for home. Is this more than just fostering a sense of belonging in the country? Coz u have to continue working to pay off that loan..which keeps the economy growing

3. National Service 1967
ALL HAVE TO SERVE regardless of your race, social status, religion, background, education level, etc. = administered in impartiality. SUFFERING together creates bonding. Furthermore, it instills in us a sense of patriotism (really?) and national identity.

4. Educating the public
National school system replaced ethnic stream schools. English replaced Malay as the national language in 1966. Government promoted bilingualism and introduced NATIONAL EDUCATION (yes..thats damn familiar still), community involvement programmes (now you know why u went thru it), service learning, GESL (some community work stuff for year 1 NIE degree students).
Yes, mass media too..an effective tool of propaganda and censorships. The main newspapers you read, the tv you watch, etc are all under the control of the government. At the same time, they promoted their policies by showing the mixing with different racial groups in Army Daze, Under One Roof, etc

MORAL Campaigns to instill moral values. EH, kinda similar to King Asoka's moral state philosophies introduced more than 2000 years ago. See? History still applies.

Campaigns like Courtesy campaign, Clean and Green campaign, etc. Shall not elaborate about them..but instead get into the main revelation of today.

Have you ever considered that your life is actually being engineered by the government?

Another question: Are you staying in Singapore because of commitment or stake?

Panty stealer -_-

2007-04-04T00:45:00.000+08:00

Seriously, whats on the mind of those who steal others' panties? Do they want to don it on themselves? Or do they want to sniff it like some pervert?

I was hanging some clothing out just now when HORROR OF HORRORS..! My favourite panty is gone!!! It was just there this morning at least. OMG I..... got nothing to say man. I just bought it last week..and wore it only once.

This is where we hang our clothes..on the line..
and yes, I placed 2 pegs on it, so theres no way it could fly away or anything of that sort.

Sighs, now I understand how my roommate feels when she tells me her tops disappeared. Seems like someone has a fetish for black stuff..since my roomie lost 2 black tops. and my panty is a black translucent lacy one..super sexy type.. must be some pervert stole it. Perhaps he's really sniffing it now..it should smell like dynamo i suppose. freak... Next culprit on my mind is ah tiong...coz theres quite a few of them on my level. Then my room is just next to the toilet..which means that they walk past a lot..and caught sight of it..and wanna steal to wear? but i guess they would probably tear it apart while putting it on instead. coz they're always so kan chiong. some kan chiong until never flush toilet and/or wash their hands.......

OMG. panty stealer alert!

Essays are good for u

2007-04-02T17:09:00.000+08:00

I have came to my senses that essays are good for me! in spite of the long time and exhausting effort spent on it.

Process of writing an essay:
stone and think
think and think
think and stone
feel sian, engine cant start
find research
and end up with a lot of research..if you're resourceful
read research and feel overwhelmed by the information
feel seh and that the light at the end of the tunnel seems so far
finally think of an outline
jot down main points
read thru outline - feel ok about it?
if yes, start on introduction

OMG ITS COMPLETED!
feel relieved and accomplished

As I was nearing the completion of the essay, I felt a sense of accomplishment and joy. Just wanna do star jumps out of the blue. Also, I've gained valuable knowledge from this which I would have otherwise not learn during normal times. They stretch your mind and limits you know? =p

Ok, 1 down!!!!! pooff.

Good thing Lee Kuan Yew wrote a memoir of himself...they really serve as a reference well. At the same time, it can give young Singaporeans like us, who lived in times of stability and prosperity, a deep insight into the problems we used to face. So that we wouldnt take this peace we have now for granted. HAHAHA..I guess I'm psychoed by his book..which means his book has effectively gotten the message across. Think: National education!!

I feel like creating a separate blog to post all my research and essays online..(for others to plagarise?) hahaa.. To share what I have learnt!! Impart my knowledge to you guys lol.

Time to start on my other essays. The process gonna start all over again. jeez

Essay, essay, essay

Total of 3 essays to hand in - amounting to 8000 words to spit out from my cloudy brain; and they must be organized in a logical manner, be supported by evidence, clear, have style, and of course be grammatically correct.

Status of my essays:

I came up with this essay question too:
How does Information Technology diploma graduates view academic writing at university level?
Basic draft done. no research yet!! a lot more to go man.
Deadline: 9 Apr

Therefore, I might not be updating my blog much till 9 Apr when freedom comes! I rather take exams than write essays. Or schools can look into an alternative method of assessment? Like the heritage trail I did the other time..Had fun exploring the place while learning + blogging our experience and findings down. That should be the way man.

I wasted 1 week being sick. Couldnt get work done with that cloudy head. And I still havent completely recovered. -_-!! I need to take a nap..I shocked many people by turning up on time for my 8.30am class just now. LOL (I'm usually at least 15 mins late) I really struggled and tried my best to be punctual this time...yeah!! I did it!!

Using tissues like free

2007-03-29T00:32:00.000+08:00

Good thing tissues dont cost a bomb..I used so many today..till I can say..so much tissues. Just approx 2 hours in the hall study room with my roomie...I used 3 packets~

Hall study room..conducive environment. When u see others mugging, will feel spurred on!

Smiles~ even thou flu sucks!!

This is a book that should just take 30 days to read..30 short articles, 1 per day. But i've been reading for a few months and im only half way.. =X

Anyway, I wanna quote one of the chapters - on Happiness is... Learning How to Endure Hardships with Patience and Trust. (A.R. Bernard, 2006)

Happiness is learning how to deal with the inevitable disappointments of life. When we are troubled, God stands ready and wlling to protect us. Our responsibility, of course, is to ask Him for protection. When we call upon Him in heartfelt prayer, He will answer - in His own time and in accordance with His own perfect plan.

Life is oftern challenging, but we must not be afraid. God loves us, and He will protect us. In times of hardship, He will comfort us; in times of sorrow, He will dry our tears. When we are troubled or weak or sorrowful, God is always with us. We must build our lives on the rock that cannot be shaken: we must trust in God. And then, we must get on with the hardwork of tackling our problems. . . because if we dont, who will? Or should?

Heres a quote on adversity that goes in line with the message:

Recently I've been learning that life comes down to this: God is in everything. Regardless of what difficults I am experiencing at the moment, or what things arent as I would like them to be, I look at the circumstances and say, "Lord, what are you trying to teach me?" - Catherine Marshall

"Lord, what are you trying to teach me?" -- something to ponder on.

OK, i'm weak

2007-03-28T15:20:00.000+08:00

I admit that I'm weak. With Danny for 2 months plus and I've been sick 3 times already. *rolls eyes at myself*

My flu is killing me...making me dizzy. My ulcers in the throat seemed to be less of a factor now.

I need love right now!!! For me to recover fast~~

Those who love me..or is kind, can:
- help me ta bao fish porridge from canteen 1
- help me buy air purifier or air cleaners.. else the germs remain in the room..
- gimme hugs hehe..

those who think im weak and useless can just kill me..i feel like half dead anyway.

Being sick is a waste of precious time..esp now that I have so many deadlines approaching. Nothing gets into my clouded head..and I just want to sleep all the time. How sia...!! -_-

"Tiramisu"

2007-03-27T15:06:00.000+08:00

Felt like shit this morning when I woke up. My throat hurts, blocked nose, and a merciless headache. =(

Today, I have 4 hours of ICT class..because all groups in my class are presenting..for our classroom delivery project. Pretend the classmates are students and use ICT tools to teach. Good thing I'm not the 'teacher' of my group man. Since my group is the 4th group to go, I skipped the first 2 hours... =X When I went into class and explained to my teacher, he asked me to leave lor! -_- My teacher is so nice..budden I dont want to pang seh my project mates. Come and give moral support to Priya ("the teacher") and Yani..and help out wherever I can. Besides, another project mate, Jasmine, is down with high fever.

I think Priya did a really good job.. at terrorizing the students =x hahah!! Some of them were kinda traumatised. Shes fierce lah.. but still, we all had a great laugh..watching the poor students kana questioned and all.

After my group's presentation, I left first. Made my way over to engineering side..and across north spine to the NTU clinic. Woo.. Been a long time since I crossed over that bridge called "bridge of Love" which links NIE to NTU's north and south spine. As I walked on, the people seemed to have evolved..to be better looking and better dressed =X ESP. the guys... prolly coz NIE have little guys to begin with. Saw a lot of pretty babes too~ NIE is too self-contained..until we dont step out of its premises..den become so shua-gu like me.

Anyway, Doc said I'm having "tiramisu"..something I had b4 in Jan. The medical term he said out so chim..read my record card, it looks like "tiramisu" lOL.. stupid handwriting. Haiz, having ulcers in my throat!!! =( I think i was kinda blur liao..with the giddiness and everything. He asked if Im having sore throat..i said 'dunno, my throat just hurts'. Its like.. what the hell is sore throat?!?! I dun want to anyhow say..just like having a cold and flu is completely different story. Better not give the doc wrong info when you know nuts. Then he asked me if I have sore throat often, I said 'dunno.' He gave me a skeptical look. Aiyo, my head hurts like fuck still make me think.

Got back to hostel and checked the medicine he prescribed. Wah man, when i saw the logenzees he gave me was blackcurrent flavour, I was damn damn happy lol. My fav flavour ^_^

Sian..i think I gotta eat light food the next few days.. I hate porridge!!! I only want to eat my mother's salmon porridge~ Nvm, on the bright side, porridge can help u lose weight. hahaaha

After slacking...

2007-03-25T14:21:00.000+08:00

OmG!! So much work to do!! I was kinda prepared for this thou...yeah, by relaxing the past 2 days!

Went Ikea and Courts at Tampines. Saw the world's biggest plasma screen. 103"!!!! Then, we just walked and browsed almost everything. Hmmm, when my eyes set on the Ferrari laptop, im so...tempted by it. I like it!!!!! Everyone keep telling me that its time to change my laptop...maybe its a sign that its time!!

I always wanted a big closet..and we saw this concept of 2 big walk in closets side by side..Can adopt this idea..and put it in a room. Then, 1 side for me 1 side for him~ hahhaa! Aiya, you know..honeymoon stage..!! =X

He's thinking of getting a sofa bed in his room..jeez, theres 1 thats pretty..black with white stripes..cost almost $700!! Shiong sia.. Got cheaper ones.. Cheapest at $245. Still considering!~

Since he started his liquor collection, we've been drinking little conjortions once in awhile..liquor martini..and some shots like B52 (kahlua, baileys & almond liquor)..replacing almond liquor with lychee liquor which worked quite well..coz its sweet with a hint of lychee taste. Where have we been pouring it in?? haha..at first, the cover of his little brother's pacifier =X then, some measuring cup for medicine..not so bad compared to the cover. Nevertheless, we got some shot glasses from Ikea!

Oh yeah, speaking of which...I nearly caused a commotion at ikea...I was reaching up to put back a cocktail glass i showed Danny..My elbow knocked against another glass on the lower shelf. Good thing I have lightning reflexes and caught the cup ok!!! Phews. Just as we walked on a little, *ping piang piang!!!* hohoho. Someone din have lightning reflexes like me. Suddenly, the glass section seemed so crowded...all the k-po singaporeans -_-!!!

Going Ikea...something that I never fail to do...Eat the soft ice cream therE!! Also, the hotdog is a hot favourite for others~!

Took the shuttle bus to Tampines..Coz I wanna catch Mr Bean's Holidays! Got a shock at the uppermost level of Tampines Mall. Wth??!! There was a long queue.. I said out loud, "better not be the tickets queue". Apparently, everyone wants to watch Mr Bean's Holidays =/ The queue is madness..Theres even announcement to let the queue know that the next 2 Mr Bean's Holidays shows are only left with single seats. We decided to go Century Square to try our luck. The queue was normal..but at 3+pm, the next show at 4.15pm is full..had to wait till 6pm. Well, we took that anyway.

After walking for ages, my lower back was aching..Man, Im lousy!! We settled down at Coffee Bean. First time we did such thing...even for me with my friends, I dont exactly do that much. We chatted a lot..interesting how we can talk about so many things.. =)

Mr Bean's Holiday is good, if all you want is to laugh at a man doing silly things you normally dont see in real life. The plot is great..i like how the story fits together. If you watch it, you'll get what I mean..hehe. However, the ending can be better. Its kinda crap when you have a group of people singing to mark the end.. =/

Played monopoly..which i lost till CMI. Free parking has over 15k of taxes inside..and Danny landed on it!! Besides, he bought a lot of houses lor..kao!!! Doomed game with slow death..so tong ku!!

Anyway, to end off, I will work hard for my essays. Coz I am doing it for myself..not for my teachers or what. Im the 1 learning thru it in the end. Yeap!! =D

Acapella Performance @ Esplanade

2007-03-22T14:01:00.000+08:00

A few of us went down to support Dan in his first public performance under NUS Reniassance. Met up with Sheryn, Hope and Elise at Esplanade Arts Cafe, #03-02. Ooo, now I know.. Every wed is local talent showcase. Wow. Perhaps can come after exams to relax a little while supporting local talents!

First off was a community service project by some uni students. They collaborated with a society for something like muscles deficiency..which only affects the males since birth..to teach them acapella on a volunteery basis.

The performance was impressive. Their hardwork during the trainings in the past few months paid off..~ The crowd applauded in appreciation~

Then, out comes NUS Reniassance year 1 team. They performed several songs. Bah, first time my camera memory full sia. Seriously, their performance is good~ At least, to the few of us..full of praises for them. Dan is usually the beatboxer..cool. I recall last time when he was learning..and he sent me those clips of his recordings which is still at a novice stage. He also shared with me that his saliva spills out..when he beatbox..so..beware of the mike hahaha! it should be very wet...!!

Dan's year 1 group dressed in black

Dan's brother on his left..in white..under senior acapella group.

The performance is good..din noe Dan is so talented haha~

I have the videos..but seems troublesome to upload them. =/ will do so when i'm free!

Operation Clean up!!

2007-03-21T15:37:00.000+08:00

I declared a state of emergency on my room's condition!! There are thick layer of dust on places I've left untouched. Ants all over the table, bed, cupboard, door and walll..all over the place!!! Bloody red ants...good thing they're small. So I still dare to kill them when they're alone. Im scared of ants..when they're in a group. On top of all these, I got so much crap below my bed..and beside my bed that I cant step on the floor properly when I get out of bed..craps like rackets, plastic bags, bags, empty flower pot, containers, electric cooker, shoes, blah.

Therefore, I engaged the help of Danny THE MAN to help me! Heehee!! Whats a boyfriend for right!! =X Once I removed my things off the table, he swiftly got to work. He cleaned my table, the floor behind it and around it..the wall, the fan, underneath my bed, above the cupboard, the windows,... changed my bedsheets, rearranged my things. All these while I had to go to library for a project discussion. I'm so touched!! He's such a great guy right...dont be jealousss!!

Forgot to take a 'before' picture...but you can refer to this: Earthquake in NTU?

Before cleanup!!

thick layer of dust and hair

Half way during the cleanup:

All the things on my table. Boy, they're so dusty..had to use wet wipes to clean each item

MESSY!!!!!!!!!
I cant stand messiness actually..but laziness overcomes it.

Danny cleaning the fan. Look at the dust on it...ITS BLACK!!

AFTER:

WOW, I'm impressed!! My feet can actually feel the floor finally..instead of hair and dust.
Sparkling clean!!

My table is neater too. Previously, my books were piled up till I cant look beyond it...!!

Danny, I really appreciate your hard work..!! =D Lets clean up the inside of my cupboard?? heee. Will pei u this time!!

Anyway...just now my toe suddenly hurt very badly..Looked at it and got a shock. Its bleeding on the inside??!! Was worried..haha! My first time kana such stuff.. Thought about how i got it. Dont remember kicking anything today...except that a fat malay auntie stepped on my 4th and last toes just now in the canteen??? Diao..I was queueing for chicken cutlet rice..facing my left as I was talking to Xue Min and suddenly she walked backwards (i dunno why) and ta-da.... That should be the reason. Rah!

My poor toe!!!

It was freaking painful and I din noe wad to do..no one was ard too. Thus, where to look for help? Internet lor..haha! Typed "bleeding in toenail" in google...after reading thru several sites, found 1 that teaches what to do about it. Put a ice bag on it for 20 mins. I digged some ice flakes (i dun have ice) from the freezer compartment, put it in a zip lock bag..then, on it. Wah.....i think its even more pain lor. Like frost bite feeling. After that, it felt better thou.

Well, i gtg!! Daniel foo is performing in Esplanade later. Acapella performance..woo~ At his birthday, I was totally awestruck by his mini showcase then. This time gonna rock ass i think! ta-ta!

Spain 2 Dream

2007-03-21T13:56:00.000+08:00

Theres a place in the megamall, Vivocity, called Spain 2 Dream. Despite going to Vivo quite a lot, I have never been in there before. The concept is like a shopping space within a shopping space. There are huge unique wooden chairs for you to rest too. The prices there are on the high end..no wonder theres lesser people there.

Walked into the first shop because theres nice tops and skirts. Once I saw the price tag, I urged Danny to leave.. $200+ for a top?? Its outta my range!!

Anyway, I felt that the backdrop interior of the place is beautiful...Hence, decided to take a few pics!!!

Shots with us in it!

Welcome to Spain to Dream!!

WHAT DANNY HAVE?

muchacha!!!
haha, checked out the dictionary..it means female servant -_-!!

Our story~

And lastly, a pic at the top level of Vivo~ in the waters~!

We slacked around while waiting for our 11.55pm Music and Lyrics to start. Vivo has many nice places to relax...especially the roof garden where you can look at the sea and at sentosa, or choose to dip your feet in the water which I think is dirty, or cam whore, or anything..up to your imagination.

Music and Lyrics is good. Many funny parts and its relaxing to watch because of the lighthearted storyline. Also, the damn music is stuck in my mind!!! Good thing Danny found it..heeee. Else I'm doing the song injustice by affixing wrong lyrics to the melody as I cun remember the exact words hahaa! Not a must watch, but should watch. =)

Most disgusting porridge I ever ate!!

2007-03-18T23:11:00.000+08:00

My whole family wasnt at home on sat night..except for my grandpa who was asleep. Mum left a pot of plain white porridge in a pot..and Im supposed to eat it for my dinner.

Over the phone, mum tells me that just boil the salmon then add sesame oil and chicken stock (which might be spoilt already)..thats all. Sounds so easy!! Not to mention, my mum's salmon porridge is the best porridge ever!! Argh, i hate to eat porridge because I think its a sickman's food..only eat it when im sick. But since salmon porridge was invented, I dun mind eating that for a meal. Thou I think that after a pee, its gone. haha!

Anyway, here goes my first attempt to cook edible porridge (plain porridge is inedible to me) my entire life...with the porridge ready.

First, I sliced the salmon into thin pieces and boiled them in water. When they looked kinda cooked, I scooped half of the white porridge from the pot into the salmon 'soup'. Ok, time for sesame oil...(everything from now on is measured in tablespoonfuls...bigger than teaspoon in case u dunno!) Poured a spoonful of it... Decided to skip the chicken stock part since it might be spoilt.. Stirred it. Hmm, to add a little taste, I explored the sauce cabinet.. so many different sauces sia...chose sin sin light soya sauce. Down goes a spoonful of it. Stirred again. Tasting time.

OMFG. seriously..have to add the F word. Its a far far far far far cry from my mum's porridge -_-!! Taste like sesame oil???? Porridge in oil kinda thg. YUCKS! Thus...maybe really need chicken stock lah. Spoonful of it and stirred. Din make the oil taste go away. 4 spoonfuls of it down. Ehhh, maybe its helping.. Another 5 spoonfuls down. I cant decide if it works anot. Like what the hell. Tried 2 spoonfuls of light soya sauce again. Tasted it... taste like.. fuck.

Thought to myself: AM I EATING PORRIDGE OR SEASONING?

turned off the fire and took the entire pot to the living room. flob myself on the sofa and dig in..Im hungry..and I always try my best not to waste food.

This is the final product:
Dont look too bad right???

i managed to eat half of it while watching Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on AXN. my gawd.

Asked my mum this afternoon wad went wrong. Sesame oil supposed to be a few droplets...NO WONDER! feel like puking as im typing now!

70 Days and counting...

2007-03-17T21:00:00.000+08:00

I was kinda bored and needed a break from slacking (yes, u din get me wrong..i was busy slacking)..so I decided to do this.

Just 70 days since our very first solo meetup, and we have numerous memories to date. =D

He says a lot of cheesy stuff which can be pretty romantic..
like I was telling him how much I miss him. he answered me back: "i miss you since the day i met u at Sentosa" hahaha its sweet to me! made it to my saved messages folder.

like how he asked me to be his girlfriend..that 1 i shall not share here..hahaaha!

stopping here. experiencing writer's block. Have a great weekend~

International Roommate Day!

2007-03-15T23:32:00.000+08:00

On a sidenote: Im so happy today!! Received several compliments of my nice skin color!! hehe!! Thanks for making my day, u know who u all are!! If only I can remain this color, since its so nice~ Think my white shorts brought out my color better bah =D

Today is my self declared International Roommate day. I was thinking about relationships. Thats 1 important aspect of hall life. If you dont have any friends..or a good roommate, your hall life will suck!! On the other hand, if you have a great roommate (for those in double rooms) and/or active hall life..Its actually very fun!!

Talking about roommate, he/she is someone u've to face everyday in hall, in the morning..thats the first face u see when u wake up..before you slp, thats the last face..and in between, constantly. Therefore, its wise to maintain a good relationship with your roommate!

I must say that our relationship is not bad...we communicate more than the beginning. And pretty accountable to each other..Also, share quite a lot of personal stuff. We go jogging together..eat together..go home together..even clubbed once together. heh =D

Here are some silly moments taken awhile back: (because I think my roommate is psycho!)

haha, this is a secret shot :X

On top of all that memories, I celebrated her birthday for her at the tick of her bday. Bought my fav cake for her (instead of her fav cake which i dunno wad it is =X ) Chocolate Exotic cake.. den remembered she was having a bad throat..but too late..so I ate quite a lot of it.. =X

Then, on my birthday, I came back hostel at abt 12am..She gave me a huge scare by hiding behind the door. Wah man..I screamed..and Danny jumped! haha~ thats the extend of it. Anywya, Danny scared her back not long later..and she screamedddddd!~ Hehe, an eye for an eye =P Fair liao arh..dun scare each other le! PeaCE!!

Screaming whenever theres a huge bug like beetle or cockroach in the room. Mind you, when 2 girls scream at the top of their lungs, its really loud!!! Then, out comes the magic mop..my fav weapon. During times like this, I always forgot there is a wonderful invention called Baygon.

Im sure staying together will have conflicts too~ Maybe at the beginning, she cant stand my messiness?? Im sure shes used to mine now, just like Im used to hers hahaha!! Sometimes shes messier den me lorrrr. I only take pics of the earthquake on my side.. If I take pics of her side, then u can see for urself.. lalala!!~

Yeah...and roomie, I noe u steal (or borrow w/o asking) my black tube!! hahaha!! Nvm lah, just buy me a new 1 back =X last of all, i always find things on my table when im not expected to be back. -_-!!

Nevertheless, on this very day, I wanna say I appreciate my roommate..for all the unsaid things u've done. Sweeping floor, washing laundry, being a great company. *Lovelove!!*

Temptations

2007-03-14T21:26:00.000+08:00

Ah..temptations - something that leads me to the dark side! I wanna be good, I wanna be disciplined, I wanna listen to my head instead of my heart (and stomach)! but...

I was supposed to jian fei. However, I got tempted when I walked past Park Mall's Sakae Sushi ytd. Original plan was to walk a little more to the Glass house and have Fish n Co. for dinner. My stomach ruled over my head and we walked in. Danny and I were both so hungry that we had almost 10 plates of sushi in 15 mins. I think that place is not bad...the service is good and fast as compared to Funan's. I used to only eat at Funan coz of the additional Teppanyaki buffet! Now that I know Park Mall has it..I guess I'll switch my allegiance to here! We totalled up to 15 plates of sushi =x WEAK LAH DANNY!! and 14 slices of Salmon Teppanyaki YUMMY!! and 2 portions of Chicken Teppanyaki~ Talking about it makes me wanna eat it again! SEeee..my stomach is speaking again! I was supposed to go jogging today..but stupid weather, keep raining and stopping and raining again. Spoilt my afternoon jogging plans. Thus, I went to take a nap...SUPPOSED (again) to be 1 hr..ended up 4 hours. Oh greaT! I can forget about sleeping tonight!

Next thing that tempted me was the Uniform party @ Butterfactory tonight. Roomie is going..and just now, Roy was putting peer pressure on me to go. Ahh!!! I wanna..but having no uniform makes me sian. Besides, I know Danny dont really like me to go..Fair lah..If it changed to him going while I'm not in Singapore, I will be kinda worried too. Its not about trust..its becoz I think girls will be throwing themselves at him. Oh yeah, was reading his past testimonials just now. Wah, I din noe my dear WAS so hot?? So many xiaomeimeis add him in friendster..plus almost every testimonials (at the beginning) praised his looks. Some even said must grab him while he's single. Wah, so hiong mah? I only know his girlfriends in the past were models, air stewardess, etc..There's one taking part in the My Dream Girl contest now (wait, is it over?)..and is 1 of the hottest girl of Whosgoing.sg. Yeah...and me? -_- Its funny that he (used to..because he had deleted them) saved his ex gfs pics in their hottest..while..his first saved pic of me was from my friendster - me holding a banana and smiling like a retard. oh god!

Lastly, its a busy period for me now. 3 essays to be handed in 2 weeks time. 2 are history which have to be 10 pages in length (thats about 2500- 3000 words). The academic writing research paper...1500-2000 words. Phew. I dunno how I gonna vomit out the words...but when time comes, I have to throw my brains out. May sound ok right...but in between that, I have 2 presentations~ On top of that, many readings!! I know I am considered more relax compared to the secondary track friends. Everyone have their own limits...rar! So what did I do today inspite of all these impending deadlines? SLEEP AND slack. -_- shit, I feel so useless!!

OK. TIME TO BE FOCUSED and GET SOMETHING DONE. ANYTHING!

Engage 2007

2007-03-12T17:34:00.000+08:00

Yesterday is our church zone's interaction day - Engage 2007. A basketball match is the main activity of the day on top of the cheering, bonding, supporting and team spirit!

Some teams were menacing..1 youth cell group had 3 butches that were huge. Another had a guy who is freaking tall whom i nicknamed 'giant'.

My sister and her friend, Angela, came to join us. Aiyo, this 2 girls..so skinny and frail. Was so worried for them...My worries were not undue because 'giant' knocked my sis and she fell flat. Also, Danny played for our cell too! Hahaa~ he's our MVP man! We both feel that guys and girls shld not be playing the same match. Its so unfair, moreover, the girls might be accidentely taken advantage from. Good thing that Danny protected himself from the violent girls who would rather win than protecting their boobs hahaha.

The matches were 3-3 half court. Daniel and Danny made a great tag team. What to do..they're the only 2 guys in our cell group!!! JEEz right =/ However, with the great no. of girls in our team, we made a great cheer machine! Our screams and claps whenever they scored are the loudest haha!

Danny is really generous to send my sis' friend home on cab. She lives in AMK and from Bedok to Punggol, its quite a big round. Good thing my mum suggested that instead of us going home, we would just meet them straight at Thomson for dinner. Oh yeah, this is the very time I introduced Danny to my dad =D

Im glad to see that Danny had no trouble getting along with my family members coz he's sociable. Dinner was chicken rice @ The Chicken House. Wooo, saw Tay Ping Hui there. Hmm, tall and charming :x Then, we had strudels @ Ritz Apple Strudel. Durian, Peach and Apple strudels....SLURPS! eat eat eat...im getting fat! My aunt whom haven seen me for some time confirmed that OMG!! I can see from the photos too..that my face is getting chubbier.

That night was a memorable night...Danny and I had lots of laughs, hugs, heart-to-heart chat =) We're such a happy couple!

Sentosa with a new bikini!

2007-03-11T01:05:00.000+08:00

Yeah!! I love sentosa! we love sentosa!! its our fav hang out place, coz we love tanning, the sun, the sand, the bikini babes and not forgetting beach hunks! loL!! =X actually...i look at bikini babes more than hunks. really.

B4 departing for sentosa, i rushed home to get my slippers -_-!! blur blur wear shoes oh maN!! Remembered EVERYTHING except the shoes part. hence, I introed Danny to my mum..as my boyfriend =D yeahhhh, its official!!!!!

On our way to Sentosa!

Berkelah Falls

2007-03-03T00:46:00.000+08:00

On Wed, I departed for Berkelah falls with a brand new camera from Danny! =D

Fujifilm Finepix Z3! I chose this cam because of one feature - ability to take non-flash and flash shots in one click of button. Thank you so much for granting my wish, dN!!! hees, can use to take pics of us too!

Yeappp, back to Berkelah Falls! As we gathered at Woodlands checkpoint, I saw this uncle. I thought he was an anxious dad of 1 of us. There were others who thought he was a passerby / bus driver. lol! Turned out to be a professor ok!! His kids are even older than me, and he's a grandpa already. He's cool!

Shall bring you on a pictorial journey of my treacherous trek -

First thing we did at Malaysia while waiting for our coach to Pahang:
EAT!!

Then, it was a 6hr bus ride to Pahang. Gosh, I was kept awake by my nauseousness. =(
managed to catch a lil sleep here and there.

the 3 of us are using the same trek bag!!
courtesy of NTU ODAC!
(its so ugly, like some free bag from tour agencies!)

And everyone ate again!
Nasi Lemak.
Looks good, but I cant take spicy food. too bad for me, i guess.

An hour drive on cab later, we arrived!

All of us are dying to see whats in store for us!
The girls :)

First checkpoint:
got to play in the water a little~

With a nice backdrop like that, how can we not do this!

All chirpy before I was shagged (like hell)

A row of happy faces

Amazement at the discovery of a "bell" plant

I climbed with great difficulty due to my Haviannas TREK. The trek word is so misleading - till a noob like me actually wore it to trek. -_-
thanks to it, I slipped and fell several times!

Lets play: "Wheres Pei Ying and Xue Min?"

Because of my poor foot grip, I slided myself down most of the time~

Checkpoint 2
"Look over therE!"

4 hunk wannabes.
L to R: Jit Hong, Eugene, Steven and Hong Sin

Nice rapids behind :)

I came on this trip because of my 2 darlings =)

This is only the beginning!

ahhh... shagged!!!!

"OUSH!"

We had to cross rivers from time to time.
The rocks on the river bed are freaking slippery!

This pic marks our arrival at the submit!! =DD
How relieved I was...!
I find the trek challenging...as my fitness level is near 0 + poor grip of my sandals

Its a nice place to relax... and sleep!

Ok, I'm confused! Dont know that is Eugene or Steven.
Kept mixing up the 2 of them =X

Welcome to Berkelah Falls!~

Xue Min, your finger spoilt the pic!!!~

Our cool 'grandpa' professor!

after all the trekking and playing in water, we got pretty hungry.
So, whats for lunch?
Lets see.. chicken wings (wow?!), eggs, ...~

A full lunch with all that food: hashbrowns, noodles, eggs, bread, chicken wings, hotdogs!
I'm such a bother to them coz of my fussiness..
Ask me what I eat, instead of what I dont eat lol.

Su Hong a.k.a. Gorilla
"This is the first trip that has gender discrimination! The guys are overloaded, while the girls are underloaded!"
Thats coz one of the trip I.C. is a female!

After some fun and naps at the waterfall area, its dinner time!
Helped with the japanese curry~
Seriously, I dont even eat that well some meals at home!
Jap curry, rice, lemon chicken, eggs, hotdogs, prata, mushrooms, blah.

I contributed to this pot of curry by stirring it!!

Please do not litter in the jungle!! Its inconsiderate!!
There were a lot of rubbish left behind by previous campers.

Danny bought a red light stick for me, while I bought my dear gfs a lightstick each! =D

Berkelah Falls at night =)

Ready to leave campsite!

Oei! Extra!!

Its a down-down-down journey, harder than the upwards climb.

My whole body is aching from the climb up...little strength to support myself properly.

Its dangerous...~
Turtle stance.

Yes, im that WET. poof.

I had no idea we werent allowed to bring pork up Malaysian mountains...but according to superstitions, I heard that either the spirits will harrass you or make you lose your way or worst things could happen. I just proved that its not true??? =/

When I happily asked my friends if they wanted to eat ba kwa on our coach journey back, they were speechless. Seriously, thank God nothing happened to me. Even my dad said "your God really blessed you" Ok, I agree on this sentence, not only in this incident, but for all aspects of my life, and everything I have now =))

Euro Funfair

2007-02-26T00:32:00.000+08:00

The Euro Funfair has been at Hougang for quite some time already. Went there once during the first few days of CNY and it was closed early. What a coincidence that we passed by there (supposed to go library) and saw it!!

Just from the outside of it, I saw the hair raising rides and felt wobbly. Thus, had to trouble Danny to bring me to a clean toilet to DB first.

The ferris wheel looks tempting!! The highest one I've been on was only 7th storey one which was eon years ago @ the funfair in bukit panjang. This 1 is approx 12 stories I think.

After some mini orientation around, he decided to try Vortex first - the craziest ride there. Gosh, when I look at the previous pair on it, I was screaming for them man. The ride is $10!! a bit ex!! DN is so brave!

HAHA (好之为之!!!!) Its fun watching him on it...even have a video of it! He says the ride is COOL!!

Next stop: Ferris Wheel!! My sole purpose of going there!!

Us with our 6 Tokens for the ride!
1 token = $2.50 sia!

=D =D
Two happy faces at the peak!!
(I was kinda scared actually! Was grabbing his arm almost throughout the ride. I already squeezed the juice out of my sister in the Escape's baby ferris wheel, so what ya think?)

The overview @ the peak!

After much (or rather A LOT) of hesitations, I finally decided to go on the Tristar ride with him. Its a crazy high velocity spinning octopus kinda thg... OOooo man. The handle cant be locked. Felt so insecure!!! At least theres Danny around. I know he will make sure nothing happens to me right?? heheee!!

Its an all together different feeling once the ride started feeling. Uh-ho...cant turn back liao!!! Everything went VERY FAST! I started my siren scream within seconds. One word - THRILLING!!! Screamed till certain parts I had to stop to swallow some saliva coz my throat was too dry. I also whined about the longness of the ride somewhere in between. KNS, its really damn long leh!! Danny tried to distract me by talking to me..but gave up after me being busy screaming and unable to reply him. Then, he sticked his right hand out which made me panicked!! Asked him to hold down to secure the bar instead. Actually, even thou I scream so much, I was not that scared =x hurhur! self creating atmosphere =X

Thereafter, we were dizzy and nauseous close to all night!! Woah man!!~

We had immense fun @ the funfair!!!! lalala! Bring me to the world's highest ferris wheel next time, dn? =D Will squeeze the muscle out of your arm!

Anyways, today DN said he will buy the red Sony T50 for me!! Its so chio and zhai!!! Touch panel 3.0" screen de!! 7.2mp!! Anti-blur!! Blah!!! -waiting, waiting!!-

DN's bro is bringing to us:

Baby James Bond

Bo ta bo lam pa

2007-02-24T02:24:00.001+08:00

hahaha. if u dont know thats dialect, then u prolly wont understand that. if you do, ta liao dua lam pa! for the benefits of those who have no heritage, the title sorta means: no finish no penis. then, the second sentence: finish = big penis. =X opps, very crude!!!

I just came back from supper with 2 mad guys, Danny and Louis. We drove down to Chomp Chomp. I sat there to book the seats while the men did the ordering. Ok we ended up with:

20 satays
char kuay teow
carrot cake
pork chop
2 wanton mee
3 bowls of beancurd
2 mega cups of drinks

Urm, thats my first time feeling that the table is actually kind of too small. Had to shift plates and cups around to make space for incoming food. OMG. Seriously, I've never faced so much food in my life. and I keep feeling that I missed out something. =/

Later on, gonna have my senior camp for hall. Will be a test run for the camp activities - amazing race, sentosa and fright night.

Oh yeah, hum ji seb decided to be a ghost. My theory - either be scared or scare others!! However, I've a hunch that it will be both for me tonight. The fright night is held at Sentosa Nature Walk / Dragon Trail. My station is for the participants to come sign the guest book while I linger around and make noises, together with my roomie. BUT she's not going!! OMG!! Will I be alone?!?!?!?!! I'm scared just by thinking about it LOL. Alone leh...I'm a scardy cat. =(

Anyway, we are supposed to be vengeful spirits in bright red. I thought of what I gonna do le. I cant laugh like roomie, neither am I so enthu as to scream for each participant...Thus, to conserve energy, will do something simple - the Ju-on style. I havent watch that show thou haha!! Danny taught me how to do it..and its freaking scary lah. Till I covered his face and refused to let go even when he stopped. Wah man...cant explain. I know its a human but still i am scared. Sounds silly =X

reminds me of the ghost who kept throwing fake fingers at me during hall camp's fright night... I screamed like mad. He asked me "I'm a human, why are u so scared?" Before I could answer, he started throwing fake fingers at me again which set my shrieking screams off. Ah, thats why I admit I'm a super timid person. =/

Time for bed! Have to be up in 3 hrs time!

Earthquake in NTU?

2007-02-21T23:50:00.000+08:00

I got a shock when I entered my room. It appeared like theres a major earthquake in my hostel room. OMG!!!!!! ok lah, managed to recall after some time that - I left my room in a rush on Friday.... =X Who to blame but myself!? Sian, I look at the mess...and I dont feel like clearing it up at all =(( Shall just sleep on it LOL. Aiya say say only lah. Later (L L suck thumb) have to fold the clothes and tidy up the table. BOO!!!!

After my sleepy class today (I'm usually the one waking Abel up, but today she had the honour to exchange roles with me), I met up with Danny and we had a nice long day of activities lined up!

Other than some window shopping in between, the main highlights of today is: Sakae Sushi Lunch buffet and Epic Movie!

DN: U noob!!! hahaha only can eat so little!! =X

We both added up only to 20 plates!! Our first time eating at least had 20+ plates lor! He K.O. so fast this time!! Still, we had a great time!! =D The food was great man!! Despite eating so much earlier on, I'm already craving for it again! hee!!

Finishing my last strawberry kiss desert =D

Hees, he bought this for me!! Always wanted a precious moments photo album!

Now, we can use this to store the wonderful memories!! Next time, can show my grandchildren..let them see their ah ma last time was actually pretty beneath the winkles and saggy boobs =X

Epic Movie Review: Its the lame kind of funny. Incorporated quite a lot of blockbusters which I've watched, so it was pretty relatable to me. I think its not worth the ticket money. =/

Cant wait for 300 to come into the theatres man!!

We had a wonderful time inspite of a minor misunderstanding. Some people say PMS is a girl's excuse and it does not exist. However, personally, after observing my body pattern and behaviour for my entire life, I know its in me haha. Approx 1 week before my mens, I will start feeling extra sensitive, moody, easily jealous, low self-esteem haahah. Gosh...Doesnt happen everyday in that 1 week, of coz.. Only when incidents occur that provokes the emo side of me. Dont diao. Its true!!

Sometimes, we know something is wrong...yet we do it. This is the biggest kind of sin. Its just...our flesh is weak, our minds got tempted...Haizz. Like - smoking, drugs, premaritual sex, gambling,... and more relatably, jealousy, unfaithful to bf/gf, envy, backmouthing others,.... I wish I can strong enough to overcome these...=/

Bowling: (a waste of $$)

2007-02-20T23:21:00.000+08:00

Had a mini gathering on Monday night with the XDs - Sam, Ivan, Dan, Ji en and Quan En @ Cdans Bowling Alley.

Damn, its my 2nd time bowling. I SUCK big time at that!! It was pretty encouraging
playing with them coz they are not pro anyway =x hahha! Also, Dan's stunts were a source of entertainment for us:

He tried bowling backwards
(needless to say, it went straight into the drain)

Here comes a series of pictures to illustrate his ultimate stunt:
1.
Rolling the ball in front of him, he ran. . .

2.
and did a mini dive towards the ball. . .

3.
Using his body weight to push it, . .

4.
he completed a full crazy-dive stunt.

He is really crazy. However, thats what makes him fun haha.

Our scoreboard =X
SA: Single and Available (Dan)
SG: Single and Gay (Sam)
MG: Married but Gay (Ivan)
H: Hetrosexual (Quan En)
J: Ji en (he changed it)
J2: Just married 2 (me)

Originally, Dan's made his own name as Cuteboi -_-. They changed it to Sex Maniac LOL. The twins left after the bowling as they lived nearby.

After that, the rest of us had supper at The Cheese Prata. Ah, I love that place...or rather, used to. The service is pretty bad now. Due to the larger number of customers i guess. They need more helpers man. There, we were like verbal vomitting out our jokes and riddles pool. Oh yah! I answered one of Sam's qns correctly. According to him, its used for some IQ test, and those who can answer it are intelligent. ^_^ Here goes: There is a candle which burns at x mm/sec. If you wanna make it burn at 2x mm/sec, what should you do? Can try answering on my tagboard hees! its super logical to me larh...dont know how u guys see it (scali chicken feet to all, thou I know Dan is not intelligent). still, heyheyhey im a genius!!!

Then, proceeded on to Ivan's house. I heard he moved, so I conveniently assumed that he moved to his new place: Garden Vista. Was excited to take the private lift up to his house lah. Used to hear so much about it, but it always happened that I wasnt ard when his family went to look at the house. I noticed he drove past the place towards his other house. Thus, I thought he moved back to High Oaks. End up..he continued driving -_-!! Out of confusion, I asked him...ah. Now I know..both of that condos are rented out..and they're renting another 1 @ Palm Residence. If you are familiar with the geographical layout of Bukit Timah/Jalan Kechil, you would understand this paragraph. I really think he's moving house A LOT. Quite a nice and quiet place, which somehow reminds me of High Oaks...

In the living room, Sam shared his experience in the old Police Academy ghost stories with us. It resides on top of a muslim cemetry. Therefore, pork is not allowed. He told us what happened when he rebelliously did that. Gosh, its so spooky! We were all creeped out at the end of it! Played hearts and some other card games up till we felt that we should rest as it will be a long day ahead...and they just stayed up the previous night to play mahjong.

Gonna end off here! Have a great CNY =))

Happy CNY!!

2007-02-19T07:35:00.000+08:00

Wish everyone out there have a great CNY!

Weird, but this year's CNY really feels insignificant. Wasnt looking forward to it at all. Perhaps due to it cutting into my school days. I hate that because it means make up classes later on (so no diff), and on top of that...homework and/or online discussions! Besides, plenty of assignments due soon. =( One major reason why I dislike CNY: All the shops are closed! I find that very disrupting to my daily life -_-!!

Like on CNY Eve when i really really really wanted to eat Ya Kun so so so much. My heart dropped and broke into pieces when I saw it wasnt open!! OMG! Most of Tampines Mall was still open leh. Why like that!?!!!! Danny and I managed to catch Ghostrider. First time seeing so many shows on the list.

The show is good. The effects are breathtaking... As I always have been saying, being a audio visual fundamentals editting distinction student, I pay extra attention to such details. I believe the bikers will love this show more...coz the bikes rock ass. Thought the Johnny Blaze was super cute in his younger days haha!! The female actress is mesmerizing too~

Anyways, CNY only means 2 things for me: 1. = gambling LOL. I guess its this way for many of us. Played some blackjack earlier on. 2 aces about 3 or 4 times, and blackjack about 6 times?? Too many times till I cant remember the exact no. All that in a matter of approx..2 hrs. Sounds good huh? Was winning a fair bit initially, but at the final moment, almost back to square 1. Won a few bucks only haha!

Secondly, it means reunion time!! with family members~ and distant relatives~ I LOVE steamboat!! However, this year, my parents came up with something new!! Grill machine! haha! End up we were using more of that than the steamboat. Big difference in the results leh..one's so tasty, being cooked with butter, while steamboat seems so tasteless and plain. Grilled beef, salmon, chicken and prawns on it...Gosh. I've been thinking of it almost every single moment cause its so delicious. When will be the next time I'll get to eat it again?? slurps!! Heres some pics:

We used to use these cute plates for each meal a while back. Till we are kinda paiseh when guests come over and see us using that lol. Anyway, since its just our family, we decided to use this again...its practical coz of the many compartments you can divide ur food to!
And yeah, I eat very little rice at home. Guess u can figure out which plate is mine (the cuter 1)

Our cool grill plate. Soon, it will take over the steamboat's place.

But this time, the change is gradual... Still had steamboat. Thou theres only veg, fishballs and some blahblah in it.

My cute 91 years old grandpa. =)
He's getting over-illusioned lately..which makes him not so cute anymore.

Sis and her childhood plate. thats a huge slice of egg there (u pig!).

me and my cute plate!

Notice: the t-shirts we're wearing look similar!

Oh, Danny's aunt said I looked like a (either Hong Kong or Taiwan) singer - Rong Zhu Er
Ok, got me awhile to get her name right. Chinese names are so confusing...Even up till now, I can mix up my good friends' name..tsk! Urm..I guess its only a certain angle that I would look like her. I'll just take it as a (wow!) compliment =D

Valentine's Day is invented by businesswomen

2007-02-14T23:22:00.000+08:00

Saw my senior's nick: V. Day is invented by businesswoman. Who would agree with me on this? lol. We know prices go up on this day...but its just delights us still to receive flowers and gifts from loved ones =D Thou I personally wouldnt feel the need to have dinner outside. The meals are ex...and the crowd man!

Rushed so much for my history presentation...only to find out that...CLASS IS CANCELLED! Our very last tutorial with Dr Wang man. =( Not postponed but CANCELLED! Wanted to present so much. Weeks of hardwork inside leh!!!

Feeling super sian, I went with Abel to slack in Xue Min's room. Been such a long time since I did that! Watched tv...till Abel dozed off. Then, Xue Min dozed off not long later too. haha while the two pigs are doing their job in bed, I WORKED HARD OK! I read the David Marshall's biography!!!!! So proud of myself...despite the fact that I only read a few pages before dozing off too lol!

Later that night, while my sweet girlfriends and roomie are out on dates, Dan and I went for my church zone's outing FOR SINGLES. Poor us =( hahaha Ok lah, my date is out of sg... while Dan claims that its Single Awareness Day - in short, SAD. Its a small gathering at Holland Village's settlers cafe. Damn, hate that place! Always got lost there man!

It was pretty much but I thought the group was too big...and perhaps some are more quiet. Would have more fun with my poly clique or the XDs!! We played several games...some of which we stopped half way hahaa. Catch no balls or got boring. The game that left a deep impression in me is

Uglydoll!! HAhaa! Something like:
All the cards are placed in the middle of the table. One by one clockwise will open a card, leaving it on the middle of the table. Then, if there's a match, we must grab it and say "UGLY UGLY UGLY!!" (because they're ugly!) till its ours...coz most of the time, a few hands will be on it. Man, this game really gets you excited. Gotta be alert all the time LOL.

Try it out when you next go settlers! Can jio me along too =D

Ending off...

To my dear:
DN: thanks for the flowers =D Love them a lot!!!
Xue Min: so sweet of ya to gimme the note & keychain!! muacks!!
Dan: thanks for the xiao xin soft toy!! hahaha its damn damn damn cute!!

loves,

black & white stripes day

2007-02-13T22:14:00.000+08:00

11.02.07
Ok i admit. I've been wearing this top for quite a couple of days the previous week :x I confess first...better than any of you finding out!

Sunday after service, I went out with my family to have chicken rice. Yeah, thats our usual! Psychoed my sis to wear her contact lens. Because she wear 5 times, after one month need to throw, wear 30 times, after one month also need to throw. MIGHT AS WELL WEAR RIGHT.

Evidence that we are sisters!

After all the food, I went to meet Danny. Off to Vivocity we go!!

Wanted to get my Levis swarovski jeans. Diao...when I tried it on, I (really dont know why but I) looked fat =( I think I looked like a pear man. -_- No point paying $249 for a pair of jeans that doesnt flatter me.....!

Well, at least I got to put it on for a couple of mins?

We had a great meal at Swensons. Been a long time since I last had a meal there. So blessed to get a seat with a great sea view ^_^ Pretty romantic to be honest! Danny had fish and chips (my classic fav!) while I had banana crumble. It totally rocks!! Then, we had a cookie submit...wah, reminds me of my younger days! Always have that!! But wtf...the whipped cream tasted weird. I thought it was me. I drank ice water and tried it again..shit lah, its spoilt. Good thing they replaced the entire thing and were apolegetic about it.

From our view, we kept seeing the new Sentosa Express train. Hence, decided to try it!!! Ah, I shld get islander card soon! $19.95 a year...Go in by express train free! Sure will take it more than 7 times a year de. Besides, the other discounts are attractive too!

@ Sentosa Express Station platform

It was a pretty cool experience! haha! Like as if we're tourists. When we board the train, saw a small group walking towards us. Titititi. Doors closing! HAHA they din make it. Not bad, we got the whole train to ourselves! =D

Theres only like 4 stops - Vivocity, ??? (which isnt opened yet), Imbiah, and Beach station. We decided to stop at Imbiah. So happened that theres this flowers in bloom thing there. A hell lot of potted plants lined the entire garden...=D Nice to visit it with your love one(s).

do i look like 1 that he would kiss wrongly?
sad to say though i have to, I AM GETTING FAT.
(yaaaaa i know you will say im not...but thats coz its scrawny-stomach syndrome)
ok, at least I realize before its too late... time to do something about it =/

Merlion! Symbol of Singapore identity leh!
Good thing its eyes isnt lid up with red lights...think its damn scary la.

No matter how we tried, cant get a proper shot of us 3.
lousy la someone HAHA

yeah! this is the flowers in bloom thing I'm talking about!

12.02.07

Met up with Danny for a movie. We've watched several movies together before...and they are horrors, actions and all. Thus, decided to go for the romantic korean love story - Once in a Summer! Ah, a decent show... Made us laugh and (me) cry.

After that, he gave me a surprise ^_^

Something that brings big smiles to a girl's face:

8 white and 8 purple roses heee!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heee. just watered it!

thanks DN!!!!!!!!

Heritage Trail: Chinatown

2007-02-10T03:33:00.000+08:00

Zakiah, Xue Min, Abel and I embarked on a magical knowledge into our past via the present. We came to a place buzzing with human activity then and now. Its none other than - CHINATOWN.

We were given a list of stations and questions accompanying them that we have to find out throughout the trail.

None of us are considered familiar with the area, thus explaining our frequent loss of way. Hence, the order of sites we visited are slightly jumbled up. Well, at least, its true to our sequential flow of events!

Before going into the pictorial trail, heres the list of our stops:
1. Chinatown Heritage Centre
2. "A Coolie Station", 37 Pagoda Street
3. Trengganu Street
4. Temple Street
5. Lai Chun Yuen
6. Smith Street
7. Sago Street / Sago Lane
8. South Bridge Road
9. Sri Mariammam Temple (National Monument)
10. Jamae Mosque (National Monument)
11. Eu Yan Sang
12. Maxwell Road Food Centre
13. Former Jinricksha Station
14. Ann Siang Hill
15. Telok Ayer
16. Telok Ayer Chinese Methodist Church (National Monument)
17. Al-Abrar Mosque (National Monument)
18. Thian Hock Keng Temple (National Monument)
19. Nagore Durgha Shrine (National Monument)
20. Telok Ayer Market (National Monument / OPTIONAL)

Enjoy!:

Station 1: Chinatown Heritage Centre (Starting Point)We were all enthusiastic inspite of the hot weather. =))

Still in the stage of zealousness.
Eager to show you the side of Chinatown you never knew...
its ok, we just found out too.

Station 3: Trengganu Street

Crouching teachers.

We creeped into the upstairs of the home to performing art groups. After this shot, we went up somemore...till the girls said they were scared. I booed Xue Min and grabbed her from her back. I took delight in frightening them... I've got my deserts seconds later (the rest din deserve it)...when a door suddenly opened and we all screamed! Turned out that a lady was disturbed by our creaking footsteps against the floorboards..and she wasnt expecting anyone. Guess we scared each other. =/

Part of Trengganu Street, a place where hawkers sold a wide variety of wares in the past, has now been converted into a pedestrian mall with some of the shophouses being home to performing arts groups.

Spotted: A hanna shop!

Zak does it with a fasinated foreigner filming the entire process down.

Station 9: Sri Mariammam Temple (National Monument)

Located on 244 South Bridge Road, it is the oldest Hindu Temple in Singapore. Built by Narayana Pillai in 1827. The temple is dedicated to mother Goddess, Sri Mariammam. The gopuram or entrance tower from the 1930s is an outstanding architectural design.

Symbols of tranquility.
(in our own rights, i suppose)

Station 4: Temple Street

Before Temple Street got its name, it was called Almeida Street after Joachim D'Almeida, son of the legendary Dr Jose D'Almeida. An influential merchant as well as a doctor, the Consul for Portugal, Dr D'Almeida owned the land on which this street was built. The Hokkiens had another name for Temple Street: Gu Chia Chui Hi Hng Au, which means 'the street behind the theatre'. They were referring to Lai Chun Yuen, the famous Chinese opera theatre on the neighbouring Smith Street. Many of the clients who frequented brothels at Temple Street and various parts of Chinatown were also patrons of Lai Chun Yuen. Along with prostitution came other social ills such as crime and opium smoking.

Station 11: Eu Yan Sang

yeah yeah! this is one of our favourite stops because we treated ourselves to savory tea eggs each!

Eu Yan Seng has a heritage dating back to more than 120 years. It was started in 1879 as a small medicinal shop in Gopeng, Perak, Malaysia, by their founder, Eu Kong Pai. The word 'Yan' means 'benevolent, kind or humane' while 'Sang' means 'birth, livelihood or living'. Put together, the phrase 'Yan Seng' means 'Caring for mankind'.

Station 6: Smith Street

At the turn of the 20th century, Smith Street was lined with brothels. With the number of male immigrants for exceeding female immigrants, prostitutes in colonial Singapore did a roaring trade. The three- and four-storey shophouses on Smith Street were packed with prostitutes. Most of Smith Street's brothels were Chinese, but two were Japanese. Amongst them, no. 65 was said to be the most notorious.

Life as a protitute was horrendous. Once in a brothel, the girls were often subjected to beatings, and received little or no medical attention. Riddled with diseases, these pitiful women were often also murder victims. For instance, the brothel keeper of no. 65, Loh Sai Soh, was stabbed in the chest when she attempted to stop a customer from leaving without paying. Seeing no other escape from their living hell, a number of these prostitutes took their own lives. While some threw themselves off buildings, others preferred a more subtle method - an opium overdose.

Station ??: We thought it was Thian Hock Keng Temple

We put it up cause its a nice picture. Credits to the photographer. Of course, the 3 girls are pretty, thats why. (obliged to say that)

tired till can sit ANYWHERE.

Station 14: Ann Siang Hill

Station 7: Sago Street / Sago Lane

Station 8: South Bridge Road

Station 12: Maxwell Road Food Centre

There must be a reason why its part of the trail. But whatever it is, we were too hungry to think. Just thank God for it!

Zak wanna write drunken notes!
Perhaps drowning in beer brings revelations!

WE ARE LIKE HUNGRY WOLVES. WE CAN EAT A COW EACH.
itdakakimasu!

Musing sight of the day:

HAHA.

Station 16: Telok Ayer Chinese Methodist Church (National Monument)

How glad we are to be here! We actually got lost (yes, again despite my good map reading skills, but this time the prob lies with the map...NOT ME!) Lemme explain: Map says Telok Ayer Methodist Church. This church named itself Chinese Methodist Church. Any pro map reader like me will think its not the same right?

Anyway, all these walking are too good a workout.

Random shot: woooo....the most amazing discovery of the day - we carry the same kind of black bag! Now, thats street fashion... More interesting than information on Chinatown right?

Haha gotcha! Caught Xue Min slacking while Abel is working hard...!!

The uniqueness of this building lies in the design: it crosses cultural and architectural boundaries that once seemed unbridgeable. Semitive and original, it gave eloquent expression to the unique needs of a fledgeling Chinese congregation by drawing upon popular elements of classical chinese architecture. Equally, it conferred an appropriate sense of new beginnings by grafting these Chinese elements on a building that in form and some details deliberately reprised early Christian church architecture. Compare Telok Ayer Methodist Church to St Andrew's or the American Church, for example, and the power of architecture to speak to a particular audience is apparant. The building is also distinctly urban, blending into rather than standing aloof from one of Chinatown's olddest streets.

Station 15: Telok Ayer

Please. The focus of this picture is not the two ladies hugging a street post in broad daylight, but the sign board across the zebra crossing. see it? We're at Telok Ayer!

Also known as Gwan Sun Koi (Gwan Sun Street), it once bordered Singapore's original shoreline. Once the most important street in Singapore for the numerous commercial, religious and clan association buildings found there.

Station 10: Jamae Mosque (National Monument)

MOSQUE SPOTTED.

just a few hundred more steps!!!

fervently reading the information board. (or pretending to be?)

This historical mosque, one of our national monuments, began life in 1827 as a thatched hut. Its modest structure gave rise to its other name, given by its Indian Muslim congregation - Kuchu Palli, meaning 'small mosque' in Tamil. The Indian-Muslim worshippers at Al-Abrar Mosque were mostly from the Coromandal Coast of southern India, known as Chulias.

From 1850 to 1855, the humble hut was transformed into a brick and plaster structure, with a simple Indian-Islamic theme. In 1986, extensive renovations were carried out, resulting in the mosque that stands here today. The prayer hall was extended by one floor, increasing the mosque's capacity from 300 to 800. Craftsmen, specialising in mosque architecture, were brought in to design the new elements and to ensure that they blended with the old features.

Station 18: Thian Hock Keng Temple (National Monument)

heyhey, another checkpoint! wooo!

Built in 1839 - 1842 by craftsmen and materials from CHina, Thian Hock Keng is one of the oldest temples in Singapore. Money to build the temple came from offerings received from devotees including Tan Tock Seng, a well-known philanthropist. The chief deity, Ma Cho-Po, goddess of seafarers, was brought from Fukien Province and enshrined here in 1840. The temple was declared a national monument in 1973.

I know nuts about these, but according to my memory of what Xue Min said -
this guy on the door is a watchman. and...we're pretending to be fierce watchmen!

In the midst of Chinatown:

A signboard that provides lots of information on various sites we were required to visit.
Felt like we've found an answer sheet during an impossible exam. LOL

Cool shop of history

This indian shop sells all sorts of old stuff which I believed he has gotten them from garang guni. However, these trash (to me) do have some historial value, could be someone else's treasure.

Station Relax: Telok Ayer Park

Of course, I'm the wife and she's the concubine. =P
And yes, these Indian settlers (I know its not obvious) have their own story too:

Indian immigrants settled in an area straddling Telok Ayer and the south bank of the Singapore River. Many were milk traders who walked the streets, delivering milk carried in buckets balanced on a bar slung across their shoulders. Other immigrants were lightermen in Telok Ayer basin, transporting cargo to and from the merchant ships and the godowns. As the Indian community took root, they built places of worship, including two of Singapore's oldest Indian Muslim buildings - Al-Abrar Mosque and Nagore Durgha Shrine.

Ok, these arent Indians now. I think they're Chinese settlers. Deduced that from the Abel's new friend's hair. This is called observant!

"Singapore is a land of gold. Come with me there...and you can earn big bucks to send back your family. After that, you can have a good life."

Station 19: Nagore Durgha Shrine (National Monument)

Oh! Under renovation! No information board!

Station 13: Former Jinricksha Station

Abel's busy on the phone with her boyfriend while Xue Min is proud to have found this place!

The jinricksha, or rickshaw, was introduced to Singapore in 1880. Affordable and easily available, it quickly became a ubiquitous mode of transport. By the early 1900s, numerous rickshaws were plying Singapore's streets. As a result, the Jinricksha Station was set up as a main depot around 1903 - 04. Featuring long pilasters and a square tower with an octagonal cupola, the building became a distinctive landmark in the area.

Station 7: Sago Street / Sago Lane

When you run out of poses, it just seems cool to pose while talking on the phone.

Wonder how anyone be able to play this super MINI mahjong set! Bet even my small hands would have some trouble!
However, its really cool as a collectable!

Station 10: Jamae Mosque (National Monument)

Last few stops le. We're still working hard! It was interesting to read about Muslims because I dont have much Malay friends. There were boards on "What do Muslims think about Mary, the Mother of Jesus?" and "How does Islam protect women from violence?" Many others too. They served to let the other races and even tourists understand better.

Station 2: "A Coolie Station", 37 Pagoda StreetWe were looking out for a building of some sort up and down Pagoda and Trengganu Street. Serves us right for not reading the guide properly. Wasnt expecting an information board only. Besides, the people there have no clue about it either..either that, or we were given wrong directions!

Much of early Singapore in the mid-19th and early 20th century were built by thosands of coolie labourers. Mostly from southern China, they sailed to Singapore in overcrowded junks. Upon arrival, they were sold to the highest bidder. Those who were not immediately auctioned off were kept in holding stations, which were cramped, dimly-lit airless rooms. The men shared wooden beds and there was hardly any proper sanitation or fresh water. Sickness, violence and opium addiction were rife. Commonly called piglets, or ju zai, coolies were treated no better than beasts of burden. The fit ones were prized and the sick ones were left to fend for themselves.

Pagoda Street was the location of many coolie holding stations. In 1901, 12 coolie stations operated on this short street, each liscensed to hold up to 200 coolies. In reality, they often held far more. The most widely known amongst them was Kwong Hup Yuaen, situated at no. 37. Possibly the largest of the coolie houses on this street, it certainly made a lasting impression on the area's residents, who still refer to Pagoda Street as Kwong Hup Yuen Street.

Station XXX: Time for some shopping, girls!

Only Xue Min ended up buying despite the many pieces we 3 tried =x

Station 5: Lai Chun Yuen

OMG, our last stop! Look at how happy we are.
The trail is finally completed. PHEWS. We are so shagged man.
They went Bugis to shop...while I waved my white flag and went home.

Singapore history is indeed rich...we just need to take some time off and discover it for ourselves. I'm sure the rest of the groups who got Little India, Civil Business District, etc, had lotsa fun too. I've learnt much that day! Been to places I might never have otherwise visited! Pretty much in time for us to feel the Chinese New Year mood too (to be honest, I've never been to Chinatown except for OG).

Maybe life would be easier if we had a car.

Hope you're enriched too through our fun journey. God bless =)

God's promises to us

2007-02-09T23:08:00.000+08:00

For the past 2 days, a lot of things happened...that made our lives never the same as before.

During this period, I was worried sick. Migranes and nauseousness. Lost sleep and appetite which I've regained already by sleeping a lot yesterday, and eating a lot today.

I felt the weight of this matter upon my shoulders...despite how I feel, I tried my best to be strong in front of him. Encouraged him, prayed for him, reassured him. Unknowingly, I grew weary...

I had so many negative thoughts on my mind. Felt the heaviness of my heart, to the point that my chest is aching.

Then, I saw a mail sent by my cellgroup mate. I realised I had been depending on myself through this dark valley. Little wonder I was so drained.

If you're feeling hopeless, helpless, weary, or anything negative right now, I believe this is for you, as it is for me:

I'm "HOLY"

2007-02-07T16:09:00.000+08:00

Ling's birthday - a surprise!

2007-02-04T23:32:00.000+08:00

Ling refused to give us any details for her birthday celebration, claiming that everything is a surprise..and indeed, it really was!

The location she told us to wait was Lucky Plaza bus stop. We were about 15mins late. Happily chatting about the happenings in Kylie's chalet when suddenly Ling appeared and led us to... a nokia bus? When we board, it was like... *woah* feeling. The bus was so beautifully decorated with gold ballons. The white seats looked posh.

Gave her a birthday hug, and we settled down. Haha, this time T13s are the minority man. Surrounded by mostly dragonboat girls from her DB days in poly. They're mostly pretty and tall and tanned. The guys must be having an eyeful feast. wait...wheres the DB guys huh?!!

Was introduced to her boyfriend, Alvin. Boy, he's so cute lah! They 2 super pei =)) One's a hunk, the other's a babe.

Thank God that Jason came too. Making our numbers increase by 50% hahaa. (how pathetic!) Wah, with them, I got the latest gossips and updates on class scandals and juicy news keke. Like who frenched with who, who quarrelled with who, who broke up with who, who flirting with who, blahs.

T13s: Jason, Kylie, Ling, me

Does it look like a bus?

More like some kinda bar right?
but look at the right...theres the ezlink scanner!

One word: COOL.

Presenting to u - Birthday on a bus!

The bus pick up loads of people from several bus stops. Then, we stopped over at Cozy Bay and took group photos on the bridge. Afterwards, we headed to TCC @ Centrepoint for the cut cake. Everything was well planned and on time.

From there, Kylie and Jason were so nice to accompany me walk down to Douby Ghaut to take my train. Haha meanwhile, got to tease Jason a lil...about the girl he likes. This girl, Si Jie, is apparently very hot. Pursuited by many guys ever since her breakup..and some of them from my class. Hmmm, complicated.

I believe many of us enjoyed this surprise of hers, as much as I do. =))

day out on the beach

2007-02-03T23:11:00.000+08:00

Been some time since we last went to the beach. A common interest between us: tanning! =D

I was real excited in the morning due to the 3 hourly weather forecast. It says fair...with a logo of a sun. Seems the sunniest of all logos. A good sign!! Cooked 4 packets of maggi goreng, a packet of taiwan sausage and made egg mayo bread. Wah, I must comment that I'm super hardworking...to have gotten up early just for these preparations!

Before I left, I checked the forecast again. This time, it says that it will be cloudy from 10am to 1pm. Jeez, just din expect it to be that bad...To the extend of cloudyness for the entire day! =(

We helped ourselves to the food. Danny obviously enjoyed it, to have finished up everything! Hehe. (Actually, theres an unseen obligation for him to finish it lol.) We were so full that we dozed off on our huge towel. I could hear his mini snores as I drifted into dreamland. I dreamt that I was eating something yummy...and subconsciously, I think I felt my mouth moving. Gawd, hope I din...Imagine what will people think when they see me lOL!

Afterwards, time for us to take a dip! The high tide was clearing...from above 4m when we arrived to 3m. He towed me to the other island again. I felt scared...like I could panic anytime. Till he told me that its because he swam further away from me that time, and he was going fast. No wonder. We sat there and wiggled our feet into the sand while enjoying the breeze. Haha, the unwanted wind..my shivers made me feel like a vibrator.

When he towed me back, the lifeguard stood at the beach, waiting for us. He told us not to do it again as its sending the wrong signal. Whoops. After some drying up, we decided to change location. Made our way from Siloso beach to Sunset Bay.

It was his first time crossing the bridge lol. He usually swims. Anyways, we went to the southern most point of the asian continent. Watched a crazy couple hoarding rocks and digging for stones. I thought they were collecting them for a mass stone throwing session. Turned out that they were ah tiongs, collecting clams. Wtf? Their actions and behaviour really made me think that they are super cheapskate. Go NTUC and buy a bag of clams, ffs.

We went atop the tower and waited for sunset. We comtemplated spitting and let the wind carry it to the ah tiongs' heads. =x Saw that they collected several full plastic bags of clams. They must be feeding a village with that amount.

Sad to say, the clouds never cleared. Therefore, there goes our sunset! Hidden =( Wanted to have our showers...but the toilet lights were not on yet? Its approx 7.30pm already. Weird. Its damn scary which made me dare not go in haha. Felt lazy...and clean. So we just put on our clothes and made our way back.

Disappointed by the weather! I had a good time thou. =))

Kylie, I'm looking forward to ours!! =D
