THE ERICA LIVES!

2008-12-17T19:00:00.001+08:00

HELLO WORLD, IT'S BEEN AWHILE!
BUT FRET NOT, BECAUSE THE ERICA LIVES!

Yes. I am back to blog about my not so exciting existence here in school/home/geylang or wherever i may be. (:
Now what made me come ~~crawling~~ typing back here to this dusty, desolate, online interstice that is my blog (and why I may speaking in such a manner), one may wonder..

Well if your guess is:

Erica-was-attempting-to-study-social-psychology-page-one-however-she-
went-youtubing-wikipeidaing-devianthopping-and-of-course-watching-
the-latest-episode-of-prison-break-on-an-impossibly-minuscule-screen-but-
has-run-out-of-things-to-distract-her-from-studying-for-her-upcomming-
social-psychology-exam-and-thus-resorts-to-blogging-and-fooling-around-
with-her-thesaurus-as-a-final-attempt-at-eluding-the-first-page-of-her-
textbook-and-keeping-it-that-way-til-another-day. (Try saying that in one breath!)

You were absolutely right! (:
If you guessed otherwise, too bad! there is no consolation prize. ha.

right. the last time i updated I was on holiday and livin it up.
now, i'm on holiday (again) and so not livin it up.
It's insane to give us such a short holiday so close to CHRISTMAS week, there's just too many events and too much homework, neither makes for a happy Erica.
Bleah.
However, i have a few things on my agenda:
I am now another year older (as of 3rd Dec 2008) Thank you everyone for the well wishes and presents (: esp ABCD for a wonderful day.

Secondly, happy belated birthday to Noel! Now you are another year older too!

Thirdly, in case i go off on another long hiatus and only return in the year 2163. FELIZ NAVIDAD everyone, enjoy yourselves this festive season. May Santa Claus be especially generous this year. And don't get too drunk.

Lastly, to any sorry soul who actually has the time to read this, my apologies for not updating. My apologies again for this nonsense I've just posted. But believe me when i say: I lead an exceptionally boring life that can put even insomniacs to sleep. Hence the crap you now read.

Alright. It is time to return to page one of social psychology.

Cheers
Erica

outing with intan

2008-10-09T15:13:00.001+08:00

whee! i played air hockey, some simpsons pinball game, and sat on this crazy spinning twirly playground thingamajig that almost killed me and intan. needless to say, we lived to see yet another day. (:

but that was yesterday.

today it is 9th October 2008 3.11 pm and sch is gna start in like 3.5 days?

and that. REALLY. SUCKS.

suprisingly, i'm not bored of the hols yet. haha.

tissue paper packets= CHOP= Russel Peters argument?

2008-09-30T00:18:00.000+08:00

soo.. I was telling Carolyn about raffles place hawker centres like lau pa sat and how there are so many tables there but I could not get a seat because they are occupied by tissue paper packets and umbrellas!* srsly. There can be tables with 7 seats and a tissue paper packet on each seat.

*For you swa kus out there who do not understand why, tissue paper packets and umbrellas are used to "Chop" or reserve seats in Singapore (esp at raffles place area).

And thus ensued the following hilarious convo:

ERICA; says: (11:40:10 PM)

omg. have u seen raffles place hawker centres?

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:40:22 PM)

0-o

ERICA; says: (11:40:29 PM)

i can't find a seat cause they are occupied by tissue packets and umbrellas

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:40:35 PM)

ERICA; says: (11:40:42 PM)

one whole table with 7 seats and a tissue packet on each one

ERICA; says: (11:40:46 PM)

i shld have taken a photo

ERICA; says: (11:40:48 PM)

haha.

ERICA; says: (11:40:57 PM)

that was when i was still working

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:41:03 PM)

OMG

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:41:07 PM)

that's damn kiasu u-u

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:41:16 PM)

really, there are times when i REALLY wish i wasn't singaporean

ERICA; says: (11:41:22 PM)

at least my group leaves one person there at the table

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:41:29 PM)

xDDDD

ERICA; says: (11:41:33 PM)

tissue packets are really i dno

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:41:57 PM)

it's just gross u-u

ERICA; says: (11:41:59 PM)

lol

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:42:03 PM)

next time, we should fling the packets away

ERICA; says: (11:42:22 PM)

can't u'll have seven ppl carrying food staring angrily at you and demanding you move

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:42:41 PM)

then the person'll come 'eh! my seat!' and then we'll go very imperiously/russell peters "IS THAT RIGHT?"

ERICA; says: (11:42:48 PM)

HAHA

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:42:50 PM)

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:43:02 PM)

haha

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:43:05 PM)

i was rewatching him

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:43:09 PM)

he's not funny anymore =/

ERICA; says: (11:43:10 PM)

does he have any new vids?

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:43:13 PM)

nope

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:43:16 PM)

REwatching

ERICA; says: (11:43:20 PM)

ahh

ERICA; says: (11:44:02 PM)

can u imagine if we say is that right? and they go be a man. do the right thing!

ERICA; says: (11:44:04 PM)

haha

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:44:14 PM)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:44:44 PM)

then i might just give them the seat, by virtue of their quoting RP XDDD

ERICA; says: (11:45:04 PM)

haha

ERICA; says: (11:45:12 PM)

yeah maybe

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:45:15 PM)

then WE shall go

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:45:22 PM)

what do the right thing?!

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:45:40 PM)

next time, you don't put tissue packets! you put one tissue packet, you waste 50 cents!

ERICA; says: (11:45:48 PM)

or we could go IS THAT RIGHT? again

ERICA; says: (11:45:53 PM)

HAHA

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:45:58 PM)

50 cents a lot of money! you save 50 cents here, and then you save /another/ 50 cents there, you get one dollar!

ERICA; says: (11:45:58 PM)

50 cents alot of mah-ney!

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:46:13 PM)

then you take that dollar and you go to the meepok store, you get something else!

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:46:16 PM)

XDDDDDD

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:46:20 PM)

this is crazy!

Airn La Pengo; Byakko. says: (11:46:25 PM)

we're having a RP ARGUEMENT =OO

HAHAHA. btu srsly. the meepok bit was HILARIOUS.

damn i miss my russel peters, whose line is it anyway, mr brown days. ):

F1 NIGHT RACE, SINGAPORE!

2008-09-28T23:38:00.003+08:00

"Many who are first shall be last, and the last will be first."

-Mark 10:13

I remember some priest saying this during one of the novena nights at church..

and how true it is. as seen in the first F1 night race tonight.

Mr 15 on the grid- Fernando Alonso, came in first today! and Massa the predicted winner came in 13 (last as the others were out).

Main reason for what the commenters labeled "a catastrophic mistake" was Massa's team releasing him out of the pit stop when the refueling pipe was still stuck in his car. After which it was left dragging on the ground behind him for the next 200 metres plus? Massa pulled back into the end of the pit stop, and his team ran over to help him. Costing him ALOT of time and ultimately the entire race. What's worse was he got in the way of another driver hence landing him a 10 sec penalty D:

Also at that time (if i remeber correctly) Piquet crashed, bringing out the safety cars.. resulting in a a total turn of the F1 race. I'm not sure how this works but Alonso ended up in second place behind Nico Rosberg. And after Rosberg pulled in for a tire change Alonso took first position and had a comfortable lead over Rosberg and Hamilton for the remaing 5 laps or so.

And so. ALONSO TOOK THE CHECKERED FLAG, TAKING FIRST PLACE WITH 1:57:16:304!

i was hoping for ferrari to win and alonso to get at least top 7 but this was totally unexpected.

FERRARI WAS SUCH A LET DOWN ): esp kimmi who crashed near the end. i wna slap him! he was ferrari's last hope and he almost had top 5! dammit.

but oh wells.. like father said: the first shall be last and the last first.

mannn. that was probably THE most DRAMATIC race in F1 HISTORY.

AAAAND. it happened in SINGAPORE! ((:

there's still more F1 in the next 5 yrs. hopefully it'll be as interesting yea!

there's

results

2008-09-16T18:30:00.000+08:00

hello again, it's been awhile.

well, i've been listening to the soundtrack of les choristes for the whole day (: the music's really really nice! and so is the film.

mann if scc would sing those pieces.. that'd be ultra cool.

maybe just add a few jesus or jesu to fool people into thinking it's a hymn haha.

but seriously. go catch it if you have the time.

soo.. i was talking to intan about vector art.

never had much success in that area. I tried doing that silhouette with circles and bright coloured thingys some time ago.. failure. haha.

so since i have abt 2 wks plus i decided to practice vector-ing.

and so far i have a rubberduck and a piggybank. hahaha.

check it out!

rubberduck: http://mistyteardrops.deviantart.com/art/vector-rubberduckie-98023888

piggybank: http://mistyteardrops.deviantart.com/art/vector-piggybank-98096555

kay, other than the above.. i got my results back D:

disappointed. didn't hit my 3.5 target.

of course i got the usual "why no As?" "you better pull up your socks next sem."

but overall i suppose it's not that bad. It's not that great but it's not that bad either.

On a lighter note i did not fail any module (:

and that is a huge relief.

okay! next sem must work hard! 3.75! godhelpme.

i hate mac

2008-08-31T17:16:00.003+08:00

i spent two hrs plus plus aligning the photo captions with the photos on blogger only to find that if i view in on IE it goes all screwy again. D:

so yeah. i can only see it in firefox :/

i hate blogger.

I HATE MAC.

i know the latter has no relevance. but yeah. it's a fact.

I <3 SN

2008-08-31T13:31:00.028+08:00

Friday. Was. AWESOME.

Started with waking up to Denise's call haha. Then i went back to St Nicks to wish the teachers HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY and catch

up with old friends (:

That was one heck of an emotional morning. Seeing everyone still the same made me feel like i was in 4D again :D

DILLYS with PRABS! (:

April MS LEE Becca and Me

Me SHERWOOD D

Oh me and elaine hunted mrs sherwood down..what was hilarious was:

Me: MRS SHERWOOD! MRS SHERWOOD! CAN YOU SAY "DIE DIE MUST KNOW!" AGAIN! PLEASEE!

Sherwood: die die must know. o.O?

Elaine and I: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OMG! OMGG!! AHHHHHHH!

And we were screaming/fanning ourselves/ placing our hand against our chest/ like we were about to faint. haha!

MR GAN! note that i'm wearing my "Mr Gan" shirt!

Me MS CHOO D and C

Elaine Me MRS TAN and D

We even met our Pri sch teacher MDM LIM! haha. she taught me and D in primary six.

And a few other random classmates:

Miss all them babes so badly. ): They made my day 10 times over.

hahaha! check out the specs i'm wearing.. they're elaine's!

After the morning in SN, and queuing in vain for orange bowl (cause it sold out when we were just two ppl away from the counter), we went for lunch at Pizza Hut! I'll upload pics later cause blogger is being annoying and won't let me upload any more photos. ): so later!

Lunch after SN!

2008-08-31T12:25:00.004+08:00

Sooo....

After SN we bounced to PIZZA HUT!! yay. :D

Cam whoring before the food arrives.

Carolyn and April

And after the food arrived

i think we got a bit high on the pepsi..

PHOTO OF THE DAY! XD

ABCDE + Celeste + Elaine! :D

After a couple hours of much

-missed conversation and a very satisfying meal. we decided... IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH! haha. so we went shopping in town! :D and i bought a starry scarf and I WILL SAVE UP FOR THAT UBER CUTE MONSTER BAG! I WILL I WILL I WILL!

aaaaaand... as if a morning of hugging and screaming and cam whoring, and an afternoon of shopping and lunching wasn't enough...

I WENT FOR BAYBEATS with stacey, elaine, vanessa, pauline, and rachel! and mannnn it ROCKED. made me wna have my own band and rock out at esplanade too.

please forgive the lousy photo quality, i only had my lousy phone to rely on and we were riddiculously far from the stage. ): and zooming made the pictures so blur the lead singer looked like he had two heads.

PEEPSHOW at the Nokia Arena!!

Check out the uber cool guitarists! :DD

The lead guitarist is on the left. He did an awesome solo later on.

the three guitarists!

FORCE VOMIT at the Nokia Powerhouse

Can't see anything?

Neither could I.

And FINALLY.. after force vomit were done singing "don't give up, siti, don't give up." (or that's what i thought they were singing), TYPECAST CAME ON!!!!! the best band in this year's line up in my opinion. you should have seen/heard them. head-banging-chest-thumping-makes-you-go-crazy AWESOME.

and then horror of all horrors.. my phone HAD to die on me at such an unappropriate moment. RARR! this was the last photo it managed to snap:

so i have NO typecast photos )):

They're with Elaine.

What was MORE disappointing was. We had to leave after the first song if we wanted to catch the last train home ):

AND THEY WERE PLAYING WILL YOU EVER LEARN WHEN WE WERE WALING OFF ):

go check that song out. it's really good.

Anyway, it's been REALLY FANTABULOUS (in the words of Prabs haha). I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you to all those who appeared in SN today! Take Care. Hope to see you guys soon! LOVE!

random thoughts on the MRT

2008-08-26T16:14:00.002+08:00

and the next second we were screaming and hugging.

healing

2008-08-25T15:51:00.000+08:00

Okay, this is not something a band-aid can cover.

It's deep.

It bleeds.

but above all it hurts.

Some days it gets better, some days worse.

It can get so bad that even Patrick Dempsey in Grey's can't fix it.

But still.

We deal with it right?

We pick ourselves up, get over it and move on.

No matter how difficult.

No matter how painful.

And like every other wound,

we give it time to heal.

And hope.

REALLY hard.

That in time... it will.

To Sam: We can do it (: Even if it takes another three years. We will do it.

usain bolt does it again!

2008-08-20T12:05:00.000+08:00

mann! just watched usain bolt beat the world record for 200m!

that guy's an ANIMAL.

he smashed his previous 100 m record effortlessly too!

well, olympics is ending in a few days time, but it has been an amazing event so far.

michael phelps drawing in a EIGHT GOLD MEDAL haul making him the greatest olympic dude there is!

ANDDD..

WE'VE GOT A SILVER MEDAL!!! FOR TABLE TENNIS!! WHOO.

hmm... ok we both know i'm just trying to avoid medsoc. bleaurgh. add procrastinated something for a week to the list.

waaaaa JASON MRAZ is gone ):

2008-08-13T13:55:00.001+08:00

death cab played yesterday!

and no i did not go for it. ):

Singfest came and went and i didn't go for that either.

That means Panic At The Disco came and went.

One Republic came and went.

Simple Plan came and went.

Lostprophets came and went.

Alicia Keys came and went!

JASON MRAZ CAME AND WENT! )):

curse my busy schedule and perpetually empty wallet. :/

So now i'm gna have to settle for baybeats. where indie/emo/punk groups from the region(mostly) and a few others from the other side of the globe are coming to our tiny little dot.

Kay, lets be honest. the music and vocal quality is unfortunately no where near Singfest standard. However, the good news is it's TFOC. yeppp. Totally Free Of Charge. Unless you buy a bottle of coke or smtg to enjoy while your there.

The (pretty-impressive-though-not-as-impressive-as-last-year's-in-my-opinion) lineup this year includes Typecast (Phi), Jebediah(Aus), Caracal(not sure), and of course familiar voices of Electrico, Peep Show and the other 9 local bands there. Haha. To be frank, I have no idea who the hell are half of the artistes on the artiste list.. but some sound really cool on the website.. no harm in gng to hear them play anyways. Anyone care to join me? (:

Hmm.. apparently, there are no bands from the states this year. (There was last year! Cobra Starship!) So if Cobra Starship came down last year for Singfest, an indie/emo/punk concert thingo, THERE IS NO REASON WHY DISHWALLA CANNOT COME DOWN TOO! ): Srsly srsly srsly hope they come to s'pore some day soon.

ok i should really get started on medsoc now. D:

update update!

2008-08-11T23:23:00.011+08:00

ok. it's been awhile.

update! update!

filming's overrr! editing tmr (:

haha filming was.. hmm hilarious. and uber tiring.

can i say I HATE MY JOB. BEING PRODUCER SUCKS.

i never EVER wna hear or say the words timecode out again.

Picture of ~~the~~ that day:

cause the wind was wayy strong and making noisy swoosh sounds that drowned out our dialogue. so our lifesaving (twice) actress(iforgothername :x) lent us her hat to cover the mike! hahaha. retarded but effective.

by the end of the day we were stoned crazy and really hungry. haha finished the entire container of prawn crackers! wrapped up at flippin 11 pm. and dragged our asses and the equipment home! i caught the bus to jalan kayu but was left stranded there cause the last 86 has left ):

so called dad and asked him out for prata haha. then went home happy and satisfied ((:

6 Aug 2008- one of the best days of my life :D

MARKETING IS SO OVER.

i hope i never have to touch that damn textbook again.

haha jasmine and marinne caught me stoning before the test started. they had to call my name like thrice to wake me up. too bad after the test started there was no one to do that. so i stoned half the time away. before i knew it i was one of the last few left there with renon infront. so quickly just wrote crap to finish the paper cause i didn't want to be the last one in the room with cynthia and clement. ( i just realised both their names start with C)

so when i was abt to hand up i realised renon was the only other person in the room. thought he prob didn't left in the room with the creepy lecturers (who would?) so i stayed til he finish. cynthia kept staring at me and asked me if i was ready to hand in haha.

when we left the lt his class was freakin clapping. hahaha.

after mktg didn't wna go home so rach renon josh and i went to town and basically stoned at wheelock. yep. how loserish can we get huh. haha.

funny thing is i felt WAY more relaxed after mktg than after final presentation.

from then til now it's been wake up late. eat. movies. sleep. eat. go out. eat. sleep. eat.

watched wall-e pathology andddd....

I WATCHED DARK KNIGHT TODAY WITH B!

AWESOME stuff.

omg. can't get the image of joker coming out of gotham hosp in the nurse outfit. hotness. hahaha damn funny too.

haha suppose to watch the 350 show at AMK HUB but tickets were sold out.

so we tried calling other places but couldn't get thru.

then B called her friend at the cathay to buy ticks while we trained down

we were at tp when he said ticks there sold out too.

so we got off went to fair price to see if there's any 6 pm show

turns out there's one at AMK HUB!!!

and so we trained back and bought the damn tickets.

but we had pretty decent seats though.

before movie had sumo dinner and had lots of catching up.

missed that girl and 4D soo much!

reminisced abt mr gan ms prabs ms choo 4D then jumped to abcde and some other 4D peeps, then how we smuggled a carton of apple aloevera into eng wah jubilee, then back to prabs and immortalization, yeah and so on and so forth....

mannn. had a great time today (: thanks B. abcde reunion soon. promise.

ohh haha random funny thought:

was telling becca about how i was waiting for vj's email.. and she was like:

B: huh? why u waiting for my sch email you?

E: hahahaha. my teacher's name is vijay. not vjc.

B:lol

E: WAIT. omg his name is vijay chandran. so he IS VJC! hahahaha!

ok i can't believe i've typed so much. ciao.

addicted to guitar hero

2008-08-05T20:21:00.005+08:00

ok. the past week was hell. rushing for final presentation. screwing up. filming through out the weekends and now attempting (note the choice of words) to study marketing. so. for the benefit of whoever is actually reading this i shall not elaborate.

i guess the stress kinda got to my mind. didn't really noe what i was typing, just felt like had to get it off my chest. and after i did. it felt much better.

for those who have no idea what i'm talking about. good. for those who do. ignore it.

anyways, what better way is there to study marketing and have guitar hero sitting beside me distracting me every 3 scentences.

yeah, i accidentally (ok not accidentally, i googled it. but wadvr.) found an online version of it, and put it up on this blog. (scroll down and check it out!) so now i'm stuck playing it every few minutes. D:

i swear it's addictive. ever since i played joshua's guitar hero game i've been hooked.

thanks josh. =.=

OKAY. ERICA SHALL BE DISTRACTED NO LONGER AND GO START CRAMMING MARKETING! NOW!

or maybe after one more game (:

can i not like you for awhile? no.

2008-07-29T19:35:00.000+08:00

i'm tired of trying.

tired of lying.

tired of believing what i know is not true.

get out of my head.

2008-07-17T23:59:00.003+08:00

i'm a marketing failure.

i can't read two sentences w/o my mind wondering off to places.

how the hell did i passed the last test?

this has Jesus written all over it.

mann as i'm blogging i have yet to study finish..

i've only read one chp so far. hahaha. and it's like 11.57

fabulous.

so Saint Jude, patron saint of lost causes, pray for me.

blessed Mother Mary, intercede to Jesus for me.

JESUS HELP ME PLEASE.

amen.

funfair

2008-07-06T22:22:00.001+08:00

gee/oh/dee

that was the shirt i was wearing at today's svdp funfair.

i still think it's slightly nicer than the I ♥ JC (Jesus Christ) one.

anyway, today's funfair was needless to say fun. minus the occasional stoning moments. (:

played like dno how many games haha. 99% of them was our lame basketball toss game.

plus i ate SOOO much today, so i was smiley, stuffed and satisfied.

the dumb thing was once i reached home. i was hungry again! can you believe that?!

haha and i ate like one plate mac and cheese, one plate of wedges, a bit of thosai, a bunch of the white wheel snack, and the seaweed flav snack, some of audrey's macaroni soup, 3 fishballs, one slice of shepard's pie, a slice of cucumber(haha), yogurt ice cream, a bit of ice ball, 3 plates of nachos and fries with cheese, and at least 5 bottles of drinks.

i don't dare to even look at my weighing scale anymore.

instead i shall plonk in bed soon and wrap up yet another totally unproductive weekend

i swear the weekends pass faster and faster. D:

ok i'm off. marcom gracom webgra and everything else will have to wait. (sorrow. haha.)

From D, For D.

2008-06-28T13:34:00.001+08:00

ok i never do these lame quiz things, but since D tagged me and i happen to be lounging around right now.. why not?

( 1 ) what are you most disappointed about?

How i always mess the things that are really important to me up. (Be it school, relationships, etc.) and then after that look back and think WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?! WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS AND THAT... yeah.

( 2 ) where will you go if someone sponsors you a tour ticket?
I would go back to italy, esp Roma. THE most beautiful place on the face of this planet. i swear. go find my super long blog entry on my italy trip if u want haha.

( 3 ) what’s your favourite thing to do?
hanging out with friends and laughing my lungs out. haha.

( 4 ) do you think money can buy happiness?
technically, yes, money can buy me a good life, nice house, awesome car, a three story wardrobe, ladadadada... but of course there are things that really make me happy w/o having to pay for it.. family.. friends.. yeah. so i'm truly grateful for all of you darls out there. (:

( 5 ) do you believe you can survive without money?
NO WAY. haha. and the most impt reason being: I NEED FOOD. ALOT OF FOOD. srsly. and of course the occasional shopping sprees (:

( 6 ) have you ever played an instrument?
yes. piano. i've quit lessons and am now playing for leisure. i'm not good at it. but i play it for fun and composing purposes.

( 7 ) if you make $1 million, what will you do?
I'd pay off my parents' debts, house loan, car loan blah blah. hopefully with the remainder i can travel to ROMA! haha or i'd just save some and invest the rest.

( 8 ) what do you think of yourself?
uggh. i'm never good at these questions. I'm just me. you go figure out what I am.

( 9 ) list out 3 good points of the person who tagged you?
DENISE is an awesome friend ((: when i'm with her i feel really comfortable and we'll be laughing our heads off each time. She's always there when i'm toubled and never fails to cheer me up (: She always has a camera hahaha to document our fun moments and cam whore at anytime. anddd, i love her loads.

( 10 ) what makes me happy?
many many MANY things (so brace urself for a long list). even the littlest things like a hello or good morning or a simple smile or hug from someone. laughing with friends :D looking at old photographs. seeing old friends again. haha always puts this silly grin on my face. lying down, gazing at the sky and watching the clouds roll by. when my sis leaves the last cookie for me (not that she usually does). when there's an empty seat on the bus home from school!! when i'm shopping. when i read DAE or anything DAE related. when my mummy brings back small unexpected snacks (: chocolates, biscuits, curry puff haha etc. when i'm stressed out of my mind and my dad gives me a hug or just pats my head. after 2.4! haha.when my mum and i are listening to music and talking about random stuff. it's cool how she and i listen to the same music ((: when i receive an sms saying i'm on that person's mind (i was smiling the rest of the day) ok the list goes on but i'll stop here.

( 11 ) what type of person you hate most?
i honestly dno. i don't really hate anyone. haha. i just get really irritated sometimes.

( 12 ) where do you see yourself 10 years down the road?
10 years. ok hang on i need to calculate.. so i'll be uhh. 27. k. hopefully i see myself living the life, coasting in my hot red sports convertible and spending money with no care haha. nah. i'll be happy just doing something i enjoy, like working as a travel journalist for a newspaper (:

( 13 ) if you have a superpower, what will it be?
EASY. I WANT TO CONTROL SPACE AND TIME. i wna go back in time to correct my wrongs, stop time so i can sleep for 10 hours, study, then start time and go out and play all day. or vice versa. haha. i'm not so into the travel to the future part but if i get curious then why not?

( 14 ) what do you think is the most important thing in your life?
the people- family. friends. and some other random people haha.

( 15 ) if its the end of the world, what will be your last wish?
i hope it’s not the end of the world? haha this was denise's answer but i left it as it is cause it'd be exactly my wish. (:

( 16 )what would be a perfect day for you?

Hmm.. a day where i can sleep 10 hours, wake up go chill with friends on the beach with bacardi and seafood, slowly make my way home in the evening and relax for the rest of the day. (ahem. to 'the marine life', sounds familiar?)

( 17 ) if you could meet one celebrity and be friends with him/her, who would it be?

dishwalla and i'd tell them: COME TO SINGAPORE DAMMIT!

( 18 ) are you courageous enough to tell the person that you like him/her?
hahaha sadly, nope. shy la. (:

( 19 ) what’s currently on your playlist:
VIVA LA VIDA, COLDPLAY! AWESOME SHIT MANN!

( 20 ) this is such a total reflection question, but seriously, what have you learnt from this quiz?
hmm. that i've never really thought about all these questions before haha.. but we really should.

instructions: remove one question from above and add in your own personal question, make it a total of 20 questions, then tag 5 people in your list. List them out and end this post.

ANTHEA YOU ARE ONE STUBBORN AND IDIOTIC GIRL BYT I LOVE YOU.

2008-05-17T14:24:00.003+08:00

INVINCIBLE

I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way

September 1st, 2003
It took the life right out of me
Hung up the phone
And raced out the door
Broken
I tried to believe that it wasn't true
But in my heart I always knew
That being the life of the party would catch up to you
Your family was waiting and crying for three damn hours

I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
Everythings cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
Why babe?

Every time I'm home I pass that road
Driving alone and the street feels cold
Seeing your face yeah it's haunting me
My mind goes crazy tryin' to figure out
Just where you'd be four years from now
And what you were thinking when the lights came down
Doctors were trying to save you for three damn hours

I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
Everythings cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
Why babe?

Who ever said that life was fair
When you live without a care
When you're invincible
When you're invincible
When you're invincible
Who thinks about leaving when you're livin'

I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
Everythings cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five

I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way..

Why didn't you listen to me?!

I knew this day would come!

Uggh!

ANTHEA YOU ARE ONE STUBBORN AND IDIOTIC GIRL BUT I LOVE YOU.

Please PLEASE be alright.

2008-05-11T16:08:00.000+08:00

this post is dedicated to RONG XUAN.

the girl with the lovely smile who sat between us in class.

so graceful and delicate, like the strains of her viola.

but unfortunately now, the strains have decrescendo-ed into a silence.

only the haunting images of her smile, and the ringing echos of her laughter remain..

You know, oddly, i still feel like i just saw you yesterday.

I still remember your smile, the things you said, the things we did in class..

The times we laughed.. the times we drew you in DAE.. (:

Rong Xuan, please fight this, i know you can.

Don't go away yet, it's too soon.

I don't need photographs, i need my friend back.

We'll be here for you, and we'll be praying.

Please be alright.

Love Denise and Erica.

FRIEND FRIEND FRIEND! NOTHING MORE.

2008-05-10T15:23:00.000+08:00

well today we only had a 10 mins lunch break due to some cock up with the food.
so we had to RUN to matthew ng's lesson.
haha. and we passed william along the way.. he had a weird look on his face :D haha.
web graph today was CONFUSING.
graph comm today was BORING. (no surprise there)

I FEEL DAMN ACCOMPLISHED TODAY! AND I FEEL GOOD!

2008-04-29T15:26:00.000+08:00

GOD, I HATE MY PARENTS.

i was just watching a movie online which took my entire bloody afternoon to load..
(oh i'm grounded by the way)
and my dad came in.

dad- "Shut down. You can watch another day. Your sister needs to do her work. Your not suppose to watch movies anyway."
my sis tries to intervene and tells him she can't do her work now anyway cause she needs to borrow a book from the library first.
me- "Why can't i watch? I can't watch movies outside and NOW I CAN'T WATCH THEM AT HOME?"

and then he slapped me SO hard i had to grip my chair and press my feet against the ground so i won't fly off my chair.
after that he pulled my sister's hair and started yelling at us.
whatthefuck.
does this count as child abuse?

now i have to waste another afternoon waiting for my movie to load again before i can watch it.
i don't even need to watch the entire thing! just the last 30 minutes of it!

2 cups of ice cream
3 chocolate bagel thingys
lots of fries and coke
and to top it all off..
5 freakin bags of chips
so this is what sitting at home most of the time does to you.
my stomach gets restless easily.
even right at this moment i'm feeling hungry ):
SN on thursday: HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL TRACK!

~~omg! mum is gonna make ikea meatballs on sunday! AHH! better run extra.~~

Ernest

2008-03-11T09:16:00.000+08:00

"Hi, i'm Ernest."
"Oh? That's good!"

HAHA i still can't stop laughing at this.
:D

ECP!

2008-03-10T14:30:00.000+08:00

yayys! ECP yestrdy was real FUN.

we played frisbee first.. Do you see the frisbee??

if you do, u have X ray vision! (WOW)
if you don't it's because i accidentally threw it in the water and it was never to be found again.
): sorry C.
perhaps 10 years down the road, i may stroll along east coast and see a red frisbee being washed up on shore! who knows? (:
meanwhile, i'll find you another one.. one that CAN ACTUALLY FLOAT.

then we talked and talked and talked and cycled!
it felt really good to cycle again after sooo long!
haha and carolyn tried her ~~hand~~ feet at in line skating. and collided with a lamp post.
GOOD JOB CAROLYN!

but the highlight of the day had to be the dinner!
THE STING RAY WAS DA BEST !

we were so hungry we forgot to take a pic before we finished all the food.

so here's our unglam pic of messy plates, prawn shells, empty drink cans, satays sticks, and what's left of the sting ray.

thank you ABCDEsq! (D isn't in the pic yet)
for all your lameness and jokes and all the crap you guys came up with after cycling.
i laughed til my sides ached like mad.
haha i won't forget all the hilary clinton, bill clinton, obama, mass selamat, boiling point, just for laughs, integrity show, etc nonsense we had ystrdy.
<3 LOVE

YAY YAY YAY! IT'S TODAY!

2008-03-09T16:18:00.000+08:00

YAYYY! it's 0903 now!

jesus, pls hear and answer my prayer.
mother mary pls intecede to jesus for me.
and all of you up there pls blow the clouds away, just for today.

it hasn't rained for two days.. and i'm getting worried, cause i have no wet weather plan.

hopefully the clouds will stay FAR FAR AWAY tmr.
go empty yourselves in malaysia for a change.

work ):

2008-03-08T15:20:00.000+08:00

bleaurgh! work was shitty.

i'm sry, i'm busy.

2008-03-06T13:58:00.000+08:00

"i'm sorry, i can't make it, i have something on."
"can't, school's been busy."
"oh no, can't, perhaps another day?"

everyone's so SO busy.
it's getting dificult to even talk to them.
i never noticed how fast-paced the world is..
how everyone and everything zooms past you, that you can't blink, for fear you miss something.
everyone is whizzing past and i'm just sitting at my window, watching the world go by.
people are mugging alrdy, and i'm still lalala-ing away..

it just feels weird..
and boring.

i can't believe i'm actually looking forward to working..

9th march is coming. start praying for sunny weather all day.

i'm sorry. i really am.

2008-03-02T17:38:00.000+08:00

BLUEBERRY PIE!! (: messy messy fun!
i'm definitely not the baking type. my oven nearly blew up today..
but pie was yummy anyhow..
cheered me up from ystrdys emoing.

i have no idea wtf happened to me last night.
you triggered smtg off and it just snowballed from there..
i wish i could take back what i said last night. and all the other hurtfull stuff i hurled at you over these years.
perhaps it was the headache talking last night.. ~~perhaps~~ most likely not..

i guess what i'm trying to say is i'm sorry. i really am.

i love elaine and celeste!

2008-03-02T06:43:00.000+08:00

hahaha.. i was asking elaine if she had the dou niu yao bu yao themesong ystrdy and she said:
"is that a chinese song i see?
: O i thought you only listen to ang mo song!"
hahahahs.
yea. what a rare occurence huh.
the frustrating bit is i can't find the sheet music to this song )): really wna learn how to play.
celeste's fault la. got me addicted to her blog song. haha. now everytime i har this song i think of celeste! (:

irony

2008-02-27T22:48:00.001+08:00

i wna work but i can't find a job.
my dad has a job but he doesn't want to work.
how ironic is that?
haha.

this holiday is actually killing me.
it's actually getting difficult to get thru each day cause it's getting so BORING.
my life is getting so grey it's giving british skies a run for it's money.
what's worse is all my friends are at sch so meeting up is real difficult.

thank god for the upcomming march holidays.

before this year..

2008-02-25T10:08:00.000+08:00

before this year, i never knew what goodbye truly meant.
before this year, i've never thought about someone all day. every day.
before this year, i've never gone through every single photo in my album.
before this year, i've never felt so gloriously happy over seeing your smiling faces again.
before this year, i didn't know what's it like to cry over missing someone.
before this year, i have never updated my blog so frequently.
i have way to much time on my hands.
if only i could store it some place and pull it out some other day when i really need it.
like before exams.
i'm already planning the next ABCDE (with some special guests) outing!
i promise you guys it's one you will NEVER forget.
trust me.

looking forward to 08A2 reunion too! (:
it hasn't even been a week yet but i'm missing you guys like crazy.

goodbye aunty may

2008-02-24T14:24:00.000+08:00

sigh,
after a relatively long deliberation,
i have decided to stop piano for good,
even tho i am so close to completing grade 8.

it's kind of pointless for me to continue anyway.
i can't do much with a grade 8 cert..
i can't use it to get into uni.
i can't get a job with it.
i can't eat it either. ):

well my mum disapproves of this decision.
but she's still ultimately leaving it to me.
gta call my piano teacher.. i have no idea what to tell her.

some things just don't change

2008-02-22T16:04:00.000+08:00

i was looking thru my photos...

looking back..

and i found this!

somethings just don't change, huh?

the next kong zi.. ME!

2008-02-22T14:34:00.000+08:00

random thought of the day:
if failure is the mother of success, who's the father? :O
haha. sounds like some pregnant girl story.
nvm.

job interview today was a waste of time. buh.
i need to get out and have fun!
my brain is rotting.
and it's only the second day.

2008-02-21T15:57:00.000+08:00

haha. i woke up today thinking today was saturday.. cause no school.
took me half an hour to realise it was weds.
feels weird not to be in mi.
but now, i have a ONE MONTH HOLIDAY ahead of me baby!
so that means a new To-Do List.

huh?

2008-01-30T11:19:00.000+08:00

guuuuhhh..
i feel dead.
i think it's lessons.
gp was unbearable today.
:O blah blah blah blah.
i think i go to school for the recess!

and the same people.
ahh. but that may change soon.

life is TRULY unpredictable

2008-01-29T03:36:00.000+08:00

life is truly unpredictable.
few months ago i could swear that i'd never never go poly.
and now, np is my top choice..
for all those out there asking me whyyyyyyyyy???!!
i'm not mugger material.
i hate cramming.
and i don't think i am cut out for jc life.
poly has more emphasis on a hands on and project based learning..

i'm feeling quite lost still..
i really hope i'm making the right decision.

my mum's theory is
"if god wanted you to go to a jc, he'd give you L1R5 of 13 instead of 14, that way after bonus u'd get 11 and can go NYJC arts like u wanted. he gave u an L1R4 of 11. last years cut off for mass com was 11! GO POLY! "
haha. i love my mummy. she's uber hilarious. :D

but i seriously hope this path is what god has in mind for me.
i may still be lost, but with prayer and faith, i know i'll get there.

OMFG O LEVEL RESULTS OUT ON THURS

2008-01-23T12:56:00.000+08:00

oh dear oh dear oh dear.
thursday is coming.
o level results are coming.

you said you'd stop thinking about it!
ahh i'm gng nuts.

hmm. another 7 rounds round the track?

"if i feel psychotic tmr, i'd go for training"
-sara (spell?)

haha. i totally agree.

<3ly song

2008-01-07T09:40:00.000+08:00

Teardrops on my guitar (:

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing,
don't know why I do
He's the time taken up,
but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see...

gosh! CATCH UP!

2008-01-07T04:46:00.000+08:00

wow! it's the new year!
HAPPY 2008!! (: have a FAB new year.
enjoy yourselves darlings.

wow! orientation is over!
seriously tiring. but seriously fun :D
played games made new friends..

sry i didn't go for CCA fair guys.
but your were constantly on my mind. (:
<3

it's difficult to see what i have before me when i keep looking back. perhaps it's good to have eyes on the back of your head, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds..
hmm.

ok enough randomness.

thinking too far ahead

2007-12-31T03:03:00.000+08:00

ahh! school hasn't even started and i'm already stressing myself out by charting my course for the next 5 years or so..
haha thanks for the interesting and intellectualish convo we had last night, D and rach.
yes, thinking ahead is good but thinking too far off leads your mind a-wander..

meanwhile i still have 3 days to relax.
so RELAX, erica! RELAX!

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! :D

2007-12-25T16:00:00.000+08:00

yayyyyy! christmas is actually, finally HERE! :O

happy belated birthday to me.

back from heaven

2007-11-30T14:47:00.000+08:00

i'm back! sadly.
ITALY WAS AWESOME.
everything was beautiful!
the sights..
the food..
the people!
Italy prob has the world's most beautiful ppl!
plus the italian accent is ultra sexy (:
from the way they snap "PRONTO" when answering the phone, to odering their cappucino.

NAPLOLI (NAPLES):
-saw an old old castle. really cool.
-drank the best latte macchiato.
-almost crashed into a car..
italian roads are so narrow but all the drivers think they are in the grand prix!
-chased pigeons in a wide open square
-went window shopping in a few of the narrow shopping lanes
-visited the ruins of pompei and saw MT. VERSUVIUS in the background.
the coolest things there were the preserved 'plaster humans'
archaelogist unearthed the ruins and found that the bodies of the villagers trapped under solidyfied lava have decomposed leaving hollow cavities. they filled these cavities with liquid plaster which took the form of the twisted contorted villagers. the anguished expressions on their face were so gripping and intense..
-saw a plant called ericaceae!
-drove past the bay of naples during sunset. absolutely breathtaking.

CAPRI ISLANDS:
-famous for their limoncello (lemon vodka) it's actually more sour than lemon itself. definitely something to try if u want a kick.
-ate lemon chocolate. ((: yummy.
-went up a tall rocky mountain to what the locals called "mamma mia points"
(mamma mia locally translates into oh my god.)
the view from these points were excepional! but if u fell..
-took a chairlift tot he top of the mountain. the view of the island was amazing.

ROMA (ROME): my favourite place
-went to Vatican City and to Saint Peter's Basilica.
-I have no words to describe it. every little detail is so beautiful, so intricate, so i-dno-what-to-say.
-all the paintings on the wall are not paintings. their actually mosaics if u take a closer look. small squares of marble of a dizzying variety of shades pieced together to form what looks like one beautiful painting.
-passed fiume tevere a large river that ran through the west of rome
-visited the colloseum.
btw, colloseum was derived from the word colossol for obvious reasons. see my pictures.
-also saw Circo Massimo a large track where horse racing used to take place in the olden days,
and Arco di Constantino (Arch of Constantine)
-and of course, we visited Fontana di Trevi (Trevi Fountain).
the white marble was so radiant in the sunlight.
-walked to the Pantheon There were more people looking upwards at the round dome-shaped ceiling than at raphael's tomb haha.
oh! in italy michaelangelo is pronounced as mee-ka-ang-che-lo cause they say michaelangelo is a ninja turtle (along with raphael and leonardo)
-by then it was evening and we had to make our way back to the trevi fountin to meet the tour grp so we couldn't visit the spanish steps. ))))):
-no worries, i will definitely go back one day.
the trevi fountain in the evening was as beautiful as it was in the day, it exudes a sort of calming glow. i sat there with my parents for an hour.

FIRENZE (FLORENCE)
-saw a large large TOWERING church but no where as large as St Peter's Basilica. decorated in green white and red marble with lots and lots of statues. green represented peace, hope, charity. white represented purity, red represented love.
-inside the church i saw this weird clock which showed only 23 hours and reverses it's direction each day.. i think.. i was busy taking pic so i wasn't really listening.. :p
-opposite the church was a building with two immense and very grand looking doors. Each one with 5 gold panels depicting different events in the bible.
-on to Piazza Della Signoria, there were at least 10 statues here. out of which was a replica of David, one of michaelangelo's most famous creations. also the statue of Perseus behading Medusa, The Rape of the Sabines (it actually looks really graceful), fountain of Neptune, and a monument to Cosimo I.

PISA:
-short trip here.. i only saw the leaning tower of Pisa. (: many funny japanese tourist taking pictures here- angling themselves and poising so they looked like they were pushing the tower. hahaha

VENIZIA (VENICE)
-it was raining heavily that day venice was flooded in the morning
-thankfully i went there in the evening and the floods had subsided.
btw venice is sinking at quite a drastic rate i forgot the exact value, but it won't be there for long so hurry visit it!
-saw the bridge of sighs. a bridge btwn the court and the prisoned. So if somone was sentenced (usually a death sentence) they had to cross this bridge over to the prison. on an opposite bridge, the family of the accused will be there to wave and say gdbye, but they are unable to see him. The accused can only peek thru 2 windows along the bridge to see his family for the last time.
-moved on to St/ Marks Square here there was the St Marks church, built during the gothc era,
the Doge's Palace which was pink and white (verona colous), the Sansovinian Library
-and of course the beautiful clock tower with the golden lion.
-I was really upset that day cause we were unable to ride the gondola due to the rainy weather, uggh. btw, all the gondolas are black. yep, they were painted black to commemorate those who died during the plague.

MILANO (MILANO):
- the second rome. there was a mini colloseum. don't be fooled, it's still quite big.
-any woman's shopping paradise
prada
armani
dior
united colours of benetton
coccocinelle
etc..
-visited the balcony of Romeo and Juliet, really pretty the tunnel leading to there was covered in graffitti by visiting couples (lots of heart shapes and "love forever")
-visited another wide square (i forgot the name)
lots of ornate buildings.. carvings.. statues.. yea. and this can be seen ALL ACROSS ITALY. LITERALLY EVERYWHERE is beautiful and detailed.. even apartments and shophouses!
-i had the best cup of coffee i've ever tasted here!! a cappuccino freshly brewed from the gaggia machine- the harley davidson of all coffee machines (according to The Food Of Love)
-climed to the rooftops of the Duomo another large towering church built during the gothic era.
-spilling with detail and carvings everywhere. spires, statues, beautiful stained glass windows that cast lovely colours around the inside of the church during the day.
-just the front surface of the church alone has 3,500 square metres of surface area, 12 spires, 47 bas-reliefs (i dno wads this), 192 statues!
-we stayed on the rooftop for most of the sunset, and we could see the suare below and the buildings around it. extremely beautiful.
-then we went window shopping cause prada and armani wasn't really my kind of thing. i only bought one shirt from this cute store called pimkie. and my mom bought a designer bag, all leather and had her initials embossed in gold. cool.

FOOD!:
haha.. haven't forgotten to mention this.. probably one of the most incredible experiences u can gain in italy..
spaghetti, tortellini, farfelli, rigatoni, gnocchi... all different tastes and textures.
bolognaise, cabonara, aglio olio, and this green sauce.. all wonderful.
lasagna was yummy.
roasted veal is also quite common there, but their veal isn't the kind of thick juicy steak we are accustomed to, it was very thin but still equally juicy and full of flavour.
PIZZA! yummy yummy yummy! oh but it's very diff from pizza hut or canadian pizza where the pizza is covered in toppings. italian pizza has very few toppings but the cheese and tomato base itself is enough to make u buy more. crust comes in all sizes from super thin to abt 3-4 cm thick!
desert was sinful- TIRAMISU, bluberry and chocolate struddle, and gelato EVERYWHERE!
coffee- deliciouso! it was heavenly. if u enter a restaurant and u see a gaggia machine, be sure to try as much coffee as possible there.
I ate much more than i mentioned here. :p may have indulged a bit too much.. i gained one kg!

i made 3 wishes at the trevi fountain, one of which was that i will return to rome. (: I think i definitely will.

i haven't uploaded the photos but as soon as i do, i'll update this post and i'll put the link here.
watch out for it ((:

ohmygod. it has happened.. and i didn't really realise it!

2007-11-17T08:54:00.000+08:00

ok the past few days have been really hectic with celebrations from walking laborious hours thru malls to chilling out and watching movies or playing x box football (ITALIA!)
didn't really have the time to blog :ppp
plus this post will be a rather inadequate expression of all the emotions i feel right now.

eitherway..
OH YEA BABY! O LEVELS ARE OVER!! :DD

but that means i will have to start packing for holiday and looking at my cupboard makes my head spin. wth am i suppose to pack for a place that's 5deg c?

ghost whisperer finale tonight!!!! ((((:
i feel happy tho i alrdy noe wads gna happen.

what i don't feel happy about is that my 10 years in st nicks have officially ended )':
and i won't be able to see all my beloved dillys and friends everyday anymore. )': )':
but hopefully we'll keep in touch yea?

it all boils down to this

2007-10-08T15:00:00.000+08:00

10 years, 120 months, 4800 days.
time flies too fast, don't you think.
it's the last week of lessons, and the weirdest part is i'm feeling sad.
i mean if i were me a few weeks ago i'd be rejoicing, but now i'm sorta worried.
i'm sure gna treasure every second with ms choo now.

it all boils down to this-

lost? ditch the map. ask god!

2007-09-29T15:35:00.000+08:00

lost? ditch the map. ask god!

these few days everything has been a mess. i have been feeling shitty and lost. not sure where to start picking up the pieces and continuing down the road before me.
each day i ask god for dirrections, to guide me through..
i may still be lost,
but at least i know i'll get there.

first cut is the deepest? BULLSHIT.

2007-09-28T03:29:00.000+08:00

i failed two papers today.
what's worse is they are two papers where ppl usually score.
fuck it man.
usually i'm numb to failure. i laugh at F9s dammit!
today for some inexplicable reason i felt like crying.
it felt painful.
so i did smtg really stupid.
no i did not attempt suicide, anthea.
i stretched the rubber band round my wrist real high and let go.
it smacked my wrist hard, and it instantly became really red.
for a second i thought i ruptured an artery.
then it started to swell. a real disgusting red swollen line accross my wrist.
BRILLIANT! uggh.

I noe it's wrong to turn around and blame God for everything that doesn't go my way, but if God gives wad's best for us then WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!
better still, when i was fuming at God at the bus stop, 265 pulled up.
I got up, sat down, and the graffitti behind the seat infront of me said:
" GOD LOVES! =)"

i think i freaked out the person seating near me when i said " are you trying to tell me something here?"
oops.

-put a gun to my head and paint the walls with my brains, i dun wna do this again-

CHRIS DAUGHTRY <333

2007-09-22T14:26:00.000+08:00

last night's Shine Jesus Shine rally was awesome!
I jumped and screamed til i almost lost my voice! (:
the healing session was prob the highlight of the whole thing.
It was really beautiful, with the whole reflective atmosphere, the gentle breeze, and the reassuring glow of the cross on top of the church's steeple.
ahh.. i felt so clensed and happy after it that..

WE ALL WENT TO EAT PRATA!
((: at the prata house.. better than jalan kayu but can't hold a flame to cassurina curry [YUM]
the prata man was so hilarious!
"that's all? VERY GOOD."
In the end we ended up laughing more than eating.. i had stomach cramps throughout the whole night, thanks to stacey stefanie, debbie, isabelle, elaine, lamechop and gen!

What I have learnt from tonight:
1. Never ever try to jaywalk with Debbie. You'd get run over thrice.
2. The orange Bacardi sold in cheers is nice. (I prefer it with coke tho)
3. It is going to rain on the 15th of September. MARK MY WORDS.

(: ONE WAY! JESUS! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT I COULD LIVE FOR!

GAAAR!

2007-09-01T15:12:00.000+08:00

GAAAAR! >.<
my dad is an idiot!
i hate him!
I HATE HIM TO THE CORE AND DEEPER!
FUCK HIM THAT CONCEITED BASTARD!

when i'm sitting around relaxing after screwing my mind over trigo he scolds me for not doing work!
when I am doing work and i'm seriously concentrating for once he scolds me for not watching over my little brother and not telling him to eat his freakin dinner!

(he called home earlier telling me to tell him to eat and be ready for tuition by 7. I DID! TWICE! AND HE EVEN REPLIED OK! I'M SO GONNA PUNCH HIM DEAD TMR MORNING WHEN I'M SICK AND FRUSTRATED AFTER PHY AND AM!)

HELLOO! he was there too! he could have done it himself! and when i pointed that out to him, he said " I TELL YOU TO DO IT YOU DO IT, OK?" and earlier that day Anthea asked me to pass the consent form to dad cause she had to go for class so i did and got scolded again. FOR NO REASON! he just wants to pick a fight.

ok I'll fight. and he will lose.
he ALWAYS does anyway.

He even dared to say good night to me today.. I told him to go to hell.
yes, i am a bitch, but what do u expect?
I am after all the offspring of an EFFING BASTARD!

WEIRD ASS!

2007-08-31T02:43:00.000+08:00

OMG THE MOST WEIRD ASS THING JUST HAPPENED!
MAJOR TRIP OF THE SCHOOL'S MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER! AND THEY CAN'T GET IT FIXED BY TMR SO...
NO SCHOOL FOR EVERYONE!= NO PRELIMS TMR! AHHHHHHH :D

but then again i'd rather get it over and done with, but what the hell.
when life gives u lemons u make lemonade!
when god gives you a major power trip, u DO NOT make lemondae. U CHAO KENG THE REST OF THE DAY AWAY! (((((: YEA MAN!

RARR

2007-08-13T15:20:00.000+08:00

getting back chinese o results in a few hours.
honestly, i'm quite lax abt it.
fine with wadvr is the outcome. (:
i'm not being over confident here.
my chinese is not even average.
seriously, i can't even converse with the hawker center uncle in mandrin..
still.. a B3/4 would be good enough..
have faith and faith will pull you thru yea?
it's up to god now..

3 mocks this week!
maths. geog. hist.
GAARR!
i haven't studied human geog yet..
sshh! don't tell sherwood..
she'd say "you ought to be shot!" and then prob really shoot me.
getting really worried abt Os
last year only 3 ppl scored A2 for geog.
if not msg would be 1!
i really want this year to be different, yet i'm the one pulling down the msg.
and when i tell myself to CONCENTRATE, i find myself drifting off further.
it's like the harder i try, the harder i fall.. ):

then again, the harder you fall the higher you bounce...

use me as you will. pull my strings just for a thrill.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!

2007-08-09T23:48:00.001+08:00

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!! :D

yeps. it's kinda weird that it's national day alrdy..

it still feels like feb!

haha was trying to spot the people in the ndp gg squad.. failed.

oh wells the parade was rather cool with the navy stuff this yr.

I <3 SINGAPORE!

celebration at school with LOTS of cam whoring

2007-08-09T14:02:00.000+08:00

national day celebrations today were awesome!
the atmosphere was so high we all went quite mad
seriously, today was the first time this year i sang the marikita at an audible level!
there was alot of singing.. [my throat still hurts from 'home']
alot of flag waving and St Nick's waving
alot of red and white!
AND ALOT OF CAM WHORING <3
it's like my new favourite past time.
thank god for D's camera(:
she took like 200+ shots! and now i shall patiently wait for her to upload them so i can cope them heh heh..

after celebration we went for 'class party'
rather pathetic but there was this uber cute girl who just came and joined us :D
she's only p1 but i swear she's more intelligent than my sis..
we brought waffles and ice cream for ms prabs and she had to act all cool and said "i'm rejecting it." wadvr. she took it in the end and we took photos! (:

sadly after that i went home.. for abt 2 hrs b4 gng out again. ahaha..
tried to be productive and study ss.. didn;t work. went online.. and yea
after which we went to far east..
and walked
and walked
and walked
and walked
THE BLOODY TIE SHOP CLOSED! SO I COULDN'T BUY MY FREAKING TIE :/ GAARR!

it was a relief when we finally left. BUT becca decided she wanted to buy the belt..
so we went back in and walked
and walked
and walked..

we bumped into alot of people on the way including D's cca friends with whom she went out with earlier haha.. each time we saw them she was like "hey what are your doing here?!"

then we went to wheelock place
and walked
and walked
and walked
and walked

then i decided to buy my sister's present form far east. haha
so we walked back
and walked
and walked
and walked
and walked
and walked

after which we skipped to heeron
and walked
and walked
and walked
and walked
AND THE WALLET SHOP WAS GONE :O i think i'm seriously outdated.. and unlucky
EVERY DAMNED SHOP WE WANTED TO GO OR THINGS WE WANTED TO BUY WERE EITHER CLOSED OR GONE. ): and to make things worse, the escalator stopped when we were on it and we almost fell onto the poor guy behind us.

then at heeron D received this interesting tip abt these erm cca ppl.. so we planned to crash their party. We had it all planned out:
step 1: we'd ambush them at cine
step 2: we'd "bump" into them but refuse to go with them even tho they invited D
step 3: Naiy would scream at them debbie would give them her reallli evil look.
step 4: I'd walk up to them, smile, and extend my hand and say" HI! IT'S GREAT TO MEET YOU! SO YOU'RE THE BITCHES I'VE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT! ((:"
D didn't tell me who are they tho.. so i didn't even realise them walking past us until D whispered"it's them"
so i didn't get to say hi to them.. damn!

train ride home was funny thanks to naiy. haha. we agreed that mao is the most hated man in our history textbook and hitler is second only because he is better looking.

oh wells, even thought all our plans were spoiled today it was still a rather enjoyable. (:

looking forward yet dreading the day

2007-08-07T21:51:00.000+08:00

YAY! SIMPSONS WAS HILARIOUS!
fuunny funny funny all the way.
had terrible tummy aches and watery eyes after the movie.
stacey becca and me were laughing at every moment, even at all the 'sad' parts!
hell, we were laughing even before the movie started cause of our picnic shopping [haha. we bought a WHOLE freakin carton of apple aloe vera.] and staceys logic of ppl who wear bright purple fbts are horney..
my diaphragm muscles feel a whole lot stronger now (:

PANIC

2007-08-05T13:53:00.000+08:00

ohmygod. 20+ days to prelims and my mind is still empty! argh. i wish mrs sherwood would just shoot me now..

"you ought to be shot!"
"you ought to be shot!"
"you ought to be shot!"
somehow it doesn't come...

saint jude, patron saint of desperate cases, pray for me.

stress may not kill you.. yet

2007-08-01T14:56:00.000+08:00

stress may not kill you.. yet.
i'm gng haywire, can't control my emotions anymore.
today in geog we were copying development ans at 3X10^8
my arm was burning! I think D's arm cramped up.
weirdest part was we started laughing, as if it could ease the pain.
and we couldn't stop.
it was all
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
i saw mrs sherwood giving us a weird look.

tmr maths mock! AHH :O
haha.. previous maths test i was telling shi han how screwed up i am:

me: shit la. didn't study math at all. I'm screwed!

shi han: I screw with you!

me plus all other people within 2 metre radius: 0.0 -stares-

me: no thanx.

SUNTAN!

2007-08-01T13:10:00.000+08:00

ahaha! Today me, D and Elaine were sitting at the roof garden on the stone bench, under the warm afternoon sun, SUNTANNING! :D
it was a nice change from the air con library in which we had english.
ahh! i haven't gone tanning since johnny and i were at nat camp! :O

haha. then elaine said the most hilarious thing-
"Go beach must pay bus fair, might as well tan right here at school!"
Spoken in the true spirit of cheapo-ness.

Stacey said she's buying the spongebob pencil cases today! YAY! best part is it's only $1.50!
UNBELIEVABLE!
if only becca would buy it.. then all cheapo club members would have one!

NATIONAL DAY IS COMING!
stop smiling, it isn't good.

will you rmb me as i rmbed you?

2007-07-27T00:35:00.000+08:00

10 years is coming to a close in less than 5 mnths. It feels reall weird.

Suddenly, your begin walking past the playground more often, have sudden inexplicable cravings for orange bowl, doing every thing possible to relish and re-live each and every moment- past and present. And with each passing day, we move one step closer to Os and one step closer to the end.

I realised no amount of photos I take, no amount of DAE issues I draw, can fill this gap. They are all but memories, carried away on the hands of time. My last year here really made me realise how important the little insignificant things in life are to me. For example, I can't imagine life without the daily laughter DAE brings me, nor life without the time we lounged on the plushy couches and read magazines. Hell, i can't even imagine life without ms choo and her annoying AM hw.

And i thank God each day for knowing so many awesome people, without whom my life would be as boring as Mr Gans lessons.. D: Hopefully, we sill stay in touch yea? It's really sad to see how friendships drift apart after a while. There are SO many people I want to talk to again. Haven't heard from them in 2 yrs? 4 yrs? Some even longer. ):

lastly just a small shoutout to B: happybdae darl! smile and be happy kae, stop being moody, black isn't your colour. it's mine. haha. all the best in the years to come, and jia you for Os! Rmb to always have a positive mindset, lose electrons!

one way street

2007-07-26T14:49:00.000+08:00

I'm dying by the second, so start living by the second..

88 days left. it's weird how a few days ago, the prospect of our countdown hitting 2 digits seemed so far away. panic is really starting to gnaw at me. I'm living by the day, studying for tmr's tests. it's like i haven't prepared for Os at all :O
god help me.

to becca:
it's not that i forgot friday, and its not that you mean nothing to me. i really can't think of what to get.. sry darl. will think of smtg soon i promise. (:
