hey guys. I'm listening to one less lonely girl by justin bieber on the radio.
I will be leaving for Macau and hong kong in a few hours time. Not excited at all. I want to go thailand instead. I will be taking tiger airway. Budget! How crazy is that. It will be my first time walking steps up to the plane and visiting the budget terminal.
And tell me who can get all hyped up when there are so much hw awaiting to be done and the due date is only weeks away.
Practised guzheng with jasmine just now. I owe her one.. How can she possibly play so well and be so patient with me? I would most probably buy her something back from hk.
went to the library too. unknowingly, I spent 4 hours in there. If o level compo tests me on my new/favourite haunt, I will definitely write that. Haha. (i'm not a nerd, btw)
Oh, it's telephone by lady gaga feat beyonce now. LADY GAGA IS THE BOMB. KATY PERRY TOO.
So, my flight later is at 6am but i will be at the airport at 4. Which means I have to sleep soon and wake up at 3. But before that, I must sure I finish airhead by meg cabot. It's a super good book. Definitely beats the clique novel. Couldn't get my hands on the sequel- being nikki- today. Kwan (doubt u will c this), I borrowed a book of a girl studying aboard. :)
Anyway, I will only be back on the 29th. Will miss the guzheng practice on 28!

Hey guys. I will be leaving tmr to genting so I think I should blog today about today (lol) and tuesday before I forgot about what happened.
TUESDAY
we had class gathering at east coast park.
but before that, I went out shopping and have lunch with regina. We had swensen @ marina square. look at the photos below. Definitely bring back memories. There's even sisterhood which I also forgot about it. And huinjiayi. Look how nice I am. I even wish u happy birthday there.
oh and we had a blast at HMV. Or maybe only I myself was having a great time. I wanted to buy some damn many albums.
Ok, so after lunch we were suppose to meet with Vanessa and kim at Cityhall mrt station at about 3. When reaching the mrt station, we saw Yun zhen. And according to her, she say that Sherilyn say everyone was meeting here. So I starting questioning who is everyone cos I thought only Vanessa, kim, regina and me meeting there. End up, xian qin, dylan (where is his car?!), Sherilyn, Vanessa, regina, Yun zhen and me went to bedok station tgt. Surprisingly, no one knew how to go to east coast park. I'm not the only road idiot! apparently, I only know how to take mrt to school and orchard. For the rest, I need to study the map very closely before I go. Haha. Kim, she lived up to her name, LATE.
PS. Bus 401 only available on weekends and public holiday. How stupid.
can't remember but I think we took bus 16 in the end.
And, it is such a joke that when we reach there, it started drizzling. A bigger joke is that we have to walk from the usual part C of ECP to the F part. ( our pit is 60F. How cool.) Sounds like a short distance but it is so not especially when it is raining and three of us (Vanessa, regina and me) had to share an umbrella.
So,thing at a certain point we rest. And then we continue until we reach part E and there was the 360 degrees water sports thing. We decided to use their clean toilet there and sit outside the cafe and enjoy the wind. There is free seats, free wind, free scenery, free angmo to see ( me super happy obviously. Quite hot somemore.) and free wireless. Life was really good.... But actually the reason we sat there was because we were waiting for sun Xin. But we found out that she rode on a bike and reach the pit when we were still enjoying life. Reluctantly, we finally left the hot guy cafe.
When we reach the pit. everyone else were already starting up the fire. What happens when 16 people crowd around a small bbq pit? Fun!
It was still raining, so some were in charge of cooking and some holding the umbrella. Cool to the max. I mean when can u do that? It's almost like a once in a lifetime experience. Lol.
The whole food thing wasn't as bad as I thought. There were beehoon provided by sean. Crabmeat, otah, mussels, hotdogs, marshmallows and chicken wings were the only side dish.
So, we kind of just hang out and take photos and time passes.
Btw, the people on the bbq pit beside us are quite ridiculous.
Bought kim home. Before that we washed our shoes at the skatepark.
I didn't know that skatepark was at ECP. Some of them were so steep that even sliding down them was a challenge, not say skateboarding.
Went to aunt house after sending kim for cousin's birthday party. Love the balloons she got! And she got 2 same presents...
Ok, I guess that's all for tuesday. the taitai part was great. I said in twitter that if that angmo would bring a cup of coffee to me, I will be over the moon. Dream on.
TODAY
Shopping! Totally rocked.
Ate at the ship. It is in lido, shaw house. Food there is definitely not cheap but everything taste good.... Mum ate ribs I think. Sis ate chicken with prawn. And mine, norwegian salmon. dessert was marvellous eclair. One of the best I ever eaten.
Mango sales was the best. Bought like so damn many things.
Oh and lastly I must mention 313 @ somerset. It is small compared to ion orchard. Ok, I think 313 totally lost to ion in terms of almost everything but it still a great place to shop. The forever 21 is 4 storeys high!!! I went insane when I took the escalator of forever 21 and there seemed like no end.
The zara there was great too. There's like this level in zara that sells teens stuff.
oh. U MUST NEVER SHOP AT ORCHARD CENTRAL. IT IS SHIT. Oops. I didn't just say that. Haha. Yeah, it sucked. only a great place to be alone.
end of shopping stuff.
Oh no. My rabbits just left and I'm devastated. I want them so much. Don't understand why my parents dislike pets so much...
So, I will be back from genting on 20. Just a short, boring trip. I will blog/tweet if I find connection which most probably there is. I hope I will be able to meet someone I know there. How bored will I be in genting. Don't feel like going to the theme park some more. But I'm now excited of the car ride to genting. I will sing the whole way. Yay!
finally, the rabbits arrived yesterday cos my cousin traveling to europe and china for about 2 weeks. they should be on the plane now.
anyway, the rabbits are doing me a big flavour by keeping me accompany. they are so cute. the black one is arra (not sure how to spell. name was given by my few months old cousin...) and the white one is sleepy, named by isabelle.
these rabbits definitely know that they are in a different environment. (ok, kind of obvious) they were a little afraid yesterday (u know, my sis and bro...) but now i guess they have adapted. according to my other cousin, she says that feeding rabbits too much carrots, they will get diabetes. (btw, this cousin's husband told me they were going to ion today. bet he was trying to make me jealous...so childish! haha, army officer some more. tsk tsk.) not sure how true is that but it's better to be safe than sorry. but they really like carrot a lot. maybe cos it's sweet or something. and arra refuse to drink water! I tried a few method to make her drink but she refuse to!
will I go crazy if I keep talking to these rabbits? I so wish they can answer me! LOL
btw, the weather suddenly became damn hot these 2 days? hiax, must be the greenhouse effect again...
oh and I'm going on a real vacation (annual vacation!)! at first cos of aunty cheng timing, and because of all the indecisive adults, we couldn't go anywhere. but now it's confirmed. we're going to macau and hong kong (again....) and witht the same people again.... I'm unhappy with the choice of place but c'mon, better than nothing right. (at least I get to skip cca. haha) christmas in china. i'll tell u what is it like when i get back... but before that, i'll be going to malaysia, genting to be exact. not sure what i'm gonna do there. watch tons of movie, play bowling maybe...
procrastination got the better of me and till now, the testimonial don't even have a single word...not even my name. really hate that part of me. see, all holiday hw also not done. argggh! I gonna make sure I write at least a paragraph for my testimonial to me. wish me luck...
blurred but can still see the wound on my hand. seems insignificant but it's damn freaking pain even now when i type! ziyi, yr teeth going to drop alr not? LOL.
went out with zi yi and shi min yesterday. O-R-C-H-A-R-D!!!! I was the tour guide cos somehow both of them have no life and don't visit orchard enough. haha. believe it or not, it's their first time going to ion!
anyway, we shopped a lot but we ended up spending most of our money on food. (typical) i think the funniest part of the day gotta be the lunch part. the guy is really damn funny lor. and i really cannot think of what's 'once in a while' is in chinese. that guy keep trying to get us to apply their membership card. he was damn surprised that none of our birthday is in november. (u get discount for membership if yr birthday is the month) and the aunty had super good service, too good. hard to explain why we kept laughing. do visit that restaurant, i bet u will have a good time too. HONG KONG CAFE @ ION ORCHARD. (free advert, haha)
we ate ice-cream! there's weird flavours like rice, cheese and even biscult. all taste super good. ps. don't let ziyi choose ice cream flavours cos the flavours she choose all damn not nice. haha.
we even ate cheese fries (kfc's cheese fries plus mcdonald's medium fries) outside zara! haha. passerby kept staring and we keep talking about what if we end up on stomp. whenever I go, i never fail to do things that would end up on stomp. pro!
I think I kind of told ziyi about ML through sms. not sure if she really understand. and she questioned me all about my sec school friends. (they should really make an emoticon which means roll eyes) shi min is in vietnam nowwww sharing room with hui min.
suppose to start on my testimonial today but haven't! maybe i should start tmr. feel like cooking jap curry tmr too!
(the title is quoted from shimin's comment. she referred herself to catwoman cos she is damn efficent at uploading photos. LOL)
finally able to change phone. white steel E71! (above picture got from some site, not by me.)
the phone is not too easy to use. i'm still trying to figure out how to use those functions and features.
I want to thank my k800i for not dying on me for the past 2 years and few months. I think my k800i rocks and that's why i didn't trade it in.
oh. and i'm so waiting for my internet 'friends' to come online. kind of stupid since we live in totally opposite time zones.
I got to know them through omegle... At first I went just for fun. so i started lying my way through. eg like saying i'm a guy... 19 years old... so on. until i met this really nice girl. (i'm not gay!)
beda, she is damn freaking nice. our conversation went like me lying to her and she telling me about herself. and then she was so sincere that i decided to stop lying after some time. then we started a real conversation. but the real conversation didn't last cos she need to have dinner. (she's from finland if i'm not wrong)
after finishing that conversation I continue. had lots of stupid ones, like me acting as santa claus, and this guy who wants me to guess where he's from... don't know what trousers blah country, lost 2 world war...???
until my last conversation where i meet the coolest boy! this malvin guy is younger than me (14 years old) and he has his band!!!!!!!!!! tell me how cool is that! I thought he was joking when he send me a youtube link saying check out his band.
i haven't talked to either of them since monday or tuesday, not too sure. bet they can't remember me anyway. :(
jiayi went to try out omegle. bet she did some crazy things there!
no matter what, I will go out tmr. :)
it's late and neither beda or malvin is online, so i think i'm going off soon.
was talking to my mum just now while walking to grandma's place. I was telling her how much I don't want to go to school tmr and how much I wanted to switch cca. she kept insisting that I shouldn't change cca since it's alr the last year. I told her till next year april, to be exact. but I cannot take it anymore. I have alr beared with it for 3 years.
she tell me to just stay with it. then i was telling her people in other are almost alr stepping down. fine example, marcus. then my mum went like ' wa. 3 years alr u all still keep in touch arh...'
so, i was thinking about what she said and it was really quite cool. I mean like I haven't seen him for about 3 years but we still talk occasionally. ok, maybe text. the last time we talked was like last year? not sure. got to check archieve.
suddenly I felt quite proud of this fact even though it's not something remarkable to others. Friendship means a lot to me. I don't need a lot of friends. All I need is a few good friends. that will do.
In secondary school, everyone is like blinded. blinded by being popular, having bf/gf, having the lastest gadget/clothes, so on... It's almost crazy. what's even crazier is that someone can just change so much in a few months. It's like almost impossible to regconise them anymore.
hanging out with ziyi and shimin that day made me realise how simple and fun can we still live. hanging out with them is really like reliving the primary school days where everything is easy and nice. Now in my secondary school, there are hidden agenda in everything. one moment that person could be really nice with you. and the next, they start to tell tales about you, insult you and everything. and the main reason of doing that may not be to really insult you. maybe they just need insulting you as a topic to talk to one who is more popular and they want to hang out with.
I'm not referring to anyone by saying those stuff. it's purely my perspective of secondary school.
It's kind of obvious that CCC fell apart. I don't know if i'm the reason so but i hope not. there's so much tension going on. like there's no way this person is going to hang out with that and so on. one word, complicated.
I've tried to analyse the problem and actually got a conclusion. but with a conclusion, it isn't enough. I need to people to believe me and i'm not getting that. I so wanna give up. maybe CCC will be friends again after we leave this full-of-dramas secondary school. I really wish we will still be. I mean, in the first place we decide to create this group was cos we love(d) each other. there's just some misunderstanding between some of us that we need to sit down and talk through. Friendship is not something that comes along easily. it needs to be maintained. It's exactly like how love works.
Lastly, I wish everyone from CCC would read this. as I mentioned above, we may only still be friends after secondary school years, but at least let CCC still exist.
It's been long since I last blogged. I mean like with twitter around, most stuff are alr there, just not in details.
as you can see, EOYs are over but there's still chinese o's to work for. maybe I really regret not going for the chinese intensive training since I'm so fixed on getting an A1. I don't know how should I react if I don't achieve my goal.
oh and damn it. I still haven't got my phone change. thanks to my mum! she went to use my plan and change my sis phone. suck! now, I got to use my sis lousy like mad plan. good thing is that I cannot be an idiot and use my dad expensive plan. haha. but i still haven't got a phone in mind. I'm stuck between prices and functions. (like iPhone or iPod touch. iPhone or BlackBerry. BlackBerry or HTC.) it's so driving me crazy.
anyway, Stefani say she saw melvin low yesterday at taka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he was in front of her on the escalator. damn, she is such a lucky girl. haha. and after taking such a close look at him, she still agree that he's cute. and she describe what he wore to me.... she tell me to faster make my way to orchard cos he was in McDonalds and wouldn't be out too soon. LOL.
friday went to kbox with shimin and ziyi. we totally rocked the whole place. we were like singing all the rock-ish english songs (thanks to me). oh wait. not singing. shouting! haha. we were so damn noisy. we were jumping about and shaking our bodies and like doing so weird actions which were captured on videos. talking about the video, i haven't finish waiting. it was so damn hilarious. but when the bills came, we were like staring at each other. how come it cost that much man. still don't get it.
Renee birthday was just over.
during the exams period (time where i think i might just die due to sleep deprive and wrong eating habits), ruhui got me all excited thinking about now! ok, maybe more of the future. she told me she might most probably be going USA after o level. and being me, the one who always wanted to study overseas, i obviously went 'omg ruhui. i damn jealous of u man. shit. i must go with you!' the only way i can go is to get scholarship bcos ruhui parents and my parents sure won't sponsor me.
we were totally suppose to have sleepover! until she told me friday got band. damn sway! crashed our movie marathon idea!
I must talk about why am I at home and not playing badminton now. the atory begins when this person called sky tan added me on facebook. our mutual friend was bo yu. so i thought i knew who this person was. so i added. not long later, she came to talk to me. she went like guess who i am. then i was thinking who so childish? also, i need to off the com alr. so i went ' who the hell are you. faster. got no time.' and the reply was ' aunty pat from hell'. then i was like omg omg omg. and faster deleted her! my sis and bro were like laughing behind. stupid idiots!
someone just posted this on FB. watch!
omg. this is really good. I want him to be my friend. but he quite vulgar when he speaks singlish. and i think he spoke singlish so much better than me.
ok. that's all for now. if I'm going to continue, I don't know how long will this post be.
ok. finally i had the time to blog about my 3-day camp.
it's the first camp of my deprived level. we went to kota tinggi, malaysia. if u seen photos of the camp on facebook, i got to remind u those are just photos. but there's definitely more than that.
obviously when i got back from camp, i keep getting questions like ' is the camp fun?'. i mean if u pick out single detail, i'll have different reply. but if u refer to overall, i think it's really fun and damn, my class deserve the best class award. whatever, 3truth isn't too bad either.
what i can't stand the most about this camp was definitely the toilets and 'sleeping area'. the toilets were disgusting to the max. it was infested with grass (dried up and wet some more), insects and unflushed gross stuff. i had a super hard time talking myself into bathing that 2 days. i controlled the amount of water intake like mad cos i didn't wanna use the toilet. and thankfully, it's quite effective.
the other thing was the sleeping tent. there were no lights at our sleeping area and plus the fact that the tent was opaque, we totally couldn't pack and take our stuff correctly. and too, it was infested with weird insects. i didn't see the whole first night i think. managed to sleep on the second night as i was really too tired. oh and sleeping in there was like sleeping in the sauna. it's damn freaking hot.
i shall skipped this part and talk about the camp.
DAY 1
we daparted from school. before so, joanne, me, wei shan and vanessa passed our farewell gift to mr sean tay. yay us. met our trainers too. (desiree and larry aka loserlarry) at first we were quite upset of the trainer arrangement as our trainer looked damn no life and nerd. but, turn out they were as good as the other trainers or maybe better.
we arrived at the 'resort' at about noon. it was so hot there, everyone was applying sunblock and insect repellent.
everything was much alright until we saw our tents and toilets. the reaction was definitely 'i wanna go home!'. haha. the boys toilets were much worst. they only had a few cubicles and no light. (but the lights were put in place on the first night.)
after lunch we had ice breaker or whatever u call those games. those games were really fun especially when u have a good class which u can trust. we had really great strategy for most of the games.
oh, i love the jetty jump. it's got to be the best caption of the day. and the murky water does wonders. it removes your dead skin and make yr skin look fairer and smoother!
the night walk was cancelled due to the rain. :(
DAY 2
i climbed the a hill! (512m) since it's 512m, we keep trying to sound pro by saying we climbed an almost mountain. haha. anyway, i totally underestimate the hill. i thought it would be something like the bukit timah hill where there is concret for u to walk on and everything. but it was so not. we had to walk on roots of trees, hold on to trunk/stems for support, walk on logs to cross river, do rock climbing and overcome stupid leeches. btw, leeches are my most hated creepy crawlies now.
the hill has a total of 5 checkpoints and people who don't feel well stop at checkpoint 2. personally, i think that checkpoint 1 and 2 are like a breeze. it's just walking and walking, nothing else. the challenge starts from checkpoint 2 to checkpoint 3 where u have to climb steep slopes and so on.
i was the first one that got leech on me! hence, i didn't know what to do. i was like screaming 'omg omg omg, there's a leech on me.' i was damn afraid. and i cried! i cried for so long. maybe until the third checkpoint or something. leeches sucks to the core.
climbing up the hill, there's so many times i wanna give up. i didn't realise that even on such a low altitude (or at least, i thought it was low.), the pressure has already got lower. i thought it was my problem that i couldn't beathe properly. luckily zirui was there. she's the best. murphy too.
getting down was so much easier to me. and this was the first time i sweat so much that the sweat even drip onto my specs.
back to campsite then we started chatting. nadine and amos got the worst leech bite. joanne got one on her armpit some more! almost everyone in my class got bites as we were the first class up and we kind of alr feed all the leeches.
ruhui class were still up at the damn hill at 11 plus. everyone at the campsite were damn worried for them. luckily they got back safely!
DAY 3
day3, the end of the camp.
everyone were indeed glad to be home. i mean, who don't miss home and the clean toilet and the bed?
and benedict hail taxi for us. he ran to the front to snatch the taxi!
camp was really fun i guess. but during the camp, i kept complaining. duh. and maybe i will keep my word back about saying i won't go climb hill or go for such camp anymore. who knows. i'm just really glad i climbed that almost mountain. definitely great experience!
