Hi, this is Jia Ying 8 years later. The internet and technology scene has changed so much the past 8 years - MSN, blogspot faded out and Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Whatsapp, Instagram, Telegram etc dominated. And so did I. Came back to blogging this because one of my friends started talking about blogspot and I went back to read all my old posts and reminisced my teenage times. I cringed so much - I was really such an obnoxious brat. Anyway, here I am typing this after my final theory paper in university and just wanted to tell my old me through this platform that you really did it. You achieved your dreams and even more. I'm proud of the old you even though you really sounded like an obnoxious prick but you worked hard for what you wanted and you matured along the way. The best part? You still are such close friends with the same friends you talked about in this blog 8 years ago (': I'm proud of me. For how far I have come. I used to think I have little achievements, but I didn't. I had many small achievements, overcame that many seemingly small struggles which all culminated to a bigger victory. Anyway, I will post again next Sunday for introspective reasons.

My grandma was recently hospitalized to undergo a skin graft operation remove a cancerous skin growth on her face, so here I am, in the hospital ward. I was really worried for her, especially the day before I left for Hong Kong, her heart condition wasn't good and her operation which was scheduled on Monday had to be postponed. We were all afraid her heart couldn't take the operation and had to use other drastic measures to remove it. But my grandma is really jjang. Despite her age of 92, and history of many medical complications (she had nose cancer twenty to thirty years back, and 6 years ago, she had to be fed through a tube connected to her stomach cause she can no longer swallow food due to excess phlegm in her trachea), she made it through.

But seeing her struggling for all her life, I'm really disturbed. Why can't God just made life easier for her? ):
I miss the grandma I had when I was 4 years old. She would always walk to my house and visit me, buying snacks for me, knitting me trousers, vests etc. I really want that grandma even now. I never had any other grandparent other than her, and seeing her like that, unable to move fast by herself, makes me really resent life sometimes. But I guess, she's a great testimony that life can't take her down. I'm really proud of her, and she's the person I admire the most in this world. My very own grandma who has been fighting with life since she was three, taking in stride whatever that was thrown to her and overcoming them. She's a true fighter, and she shows me that while life can be fragile at times, it's really the human spirit and determination to keep moving the world.

Anyone knows how to knit a lap blanket? I wanna do something for my grandma while she's still here with me, and for once, be a good granddaughter.

Third day of shopping trip!

Today was good, I guess! Final day of shopping! And thank god my grandma came out of the operation theatre safely! Bro’s interview for University of Glasgow was okay too! Even though I know I agreed to 3 months of cold war with him, I really hope he’d be able to get into Glasgow! It’s like the best university in the world for veterinary practice! It’d really be a waste if my brother doesn’t grow up to be a vet since I had always imagined him to be one since like forever.

Went back to Zhuhai today for shopping! Bought 3 more pairs of shoes and some scarves for Finland! I did hesitate on buying the last shoe though.. think it was the most expensive one .. SO in total, I bought like 7 pairs of shoes. (the uncles were like shaking their heads in disapproval, and one even said lucky you’re not my daughter) BUT HEY. Firstly, I bought 4 pairs of sneakers cause I could use it for JC as school shoes! AND it’s really like half the price here as compared to SG. Quality’s about the same too. One pair of shoes is for use in Finland (snow boots) and the other two pairs are for special events!

Really. People should stop judging things at its face value. And there’s two more aunties who looked at my mum’s shopping bags and in a condescending tone, said “from experience, I also once bought so many stuff but in the end, I didn’t use it and just gave them to my maids.” Seriously, the mentality of some Singaporeans are horrible. They think maids are like servants or stuff, discarding their unwanted stuff to them. To put it nicely, it’s not to waste such stuff. To put it crudely, and frankly, they just don’t want it and deem it as clutter. If it’s LV bag, I doubt they’d even think of giving it. AND IS MY MUM AND I CLOSE TO THEM!? Why are they commenting on so much, and criticizing us!? Did we offend them?! PLEASE. They practically ignored our existence. Only their husbands did. We do our own stuff, we spend our own money, also not theirs, our life, comment so much for what! Talk to us in that smug manner and condescending tone for what! In terms of age, my mum is older so they should show some freaking respect. That generation always preach about we, teenagers, the younger generation, having no manners or whatsoever. HA. The pot calling the kettle black. Please look into the mirror first before saying others. Obviously, we are “rude” cause they’re rude too. –rolls eyes-

AND it’s not as if we said stuff like “oh from experience, gambling will just waste all our money. Win some, lose more. I gamble for a while then give up cause it’s basically throwing money down the drain.”

EVERY NIGHT GO DOWN AND GAMBLE FOR ALMOST THE WHOLE NIGHT. GAMBLE GAMBLE GAMBLE. AT LEAST MY MUM AND I PUT MONEY TO GOOD USE, EVEN IF IT’S QUITE LAVISH. THEY LEH. GAMBLE ALSO NEVER WIN ANYTHING. SOMEMORE LOSE PASSPORT –ROLLS EYES- THANK GOD THE STAFF ARE HONEST AND ALL AND KEPT THE PASSPORT FOR THEM. WHAT’S EVEN BETTER IS THE PERSON WHO LOST IT DIDN’T EVEN KNOW SHE LOST IT TIL MUCH LATER. BEST.

Don’t comment about us if we didn’t comment about you. Different people have different way of spending their money and limits. I admit, my dad prob spoilt me but c’mon he’s so much stricter about other stuff. Maybe compared to others, I’m considered ruder, but I never step on your toes before. I mean, I’m like a freaking hermit when I’m with strangers. I’m sure I never said or did anything to offend anyone who I just met. And at least I know gambling is a bad leisure activity. Yes, initially when you win, there’s that rush of adrenaline and exhilaration but at the end of the day, you’ll lose your money. While you lost that $100, I used the same value to buy 5 pairs of sneakers. While you lost that another $500 the next night, I used the same value to buy another 2 pairs of shoes, 1 jacket, 1 iphone cover, and some expensive tonics like birds’ nest. HA. Who’s the winner now?

Second day of shopping trip!
Okay, honestly speaking, today was a major disappointment as compared to ystd. It’s not that there isn’t any places for me to shop at Hong Kong; it’s just that I went to the wrong places -.-

Even though I’m only on this trip with my Mum, strictly speaking, I’m also with my aunt and her husband’s relatives and they’re like just here to gamble only. Shopping isn’t really their priority. Since my mum and I had never been to Hong Kong/Macau before, we decided to follow them around. SO, they decided to wake up late and everything and because of that, we wasted like half a day -.- But okay larh, to be fair, it’s not their fault.

But the food today was really great! ^^ Hong Kong is really a food paradise!
Had dim sum for lunch = heaven! Spent another 2 hours at a herbal provision shop getting bird’s nest and fish stomach or smth, basically tonic stuff for my grandma. THANK GOD SHE’S OKAY AND THE CARDIOLOGIST GAVE THE GREEN LIGHT FOR HER TO GO AHEAD WITH THE OP! cause she’s like 92 and the initial test of her heart condition was bad. Mum was really relieved and she could finally smile and laugh freely after these few days of worrying and nightmares.

We went to citygate outlet for shopping and there were a lot of clearance sale going on but it’s still freaking expensive -.- Bought 3 pairs of shorts from Levi’s but they still cost me SGD$295. –shakes head in disappointment- well, at least I couldn’t find the design of shorts in Singapore (self-comforts)

OH OH! Their McDonalds’ Green Apple McFlurry is really good! ^^ But it is even more expensive than Singapore’s :/

Kept sleeping at every opportunity I had during the whole day, so I retired to the room w/o going to Café Deco for the wifi. Waiting for my aunt to finish bathing right now while Mum, being a shopaholic, is visiting more shops downstairs.

OKAY! Going back to Zhuhai tmr! Wanted to go HK but the transport to and fro and everything is too expensive, time-consuming and troublesome. Besides, Zhuhai stuff is cheaper (but quality is definitely compromised)

P/S the transport here is really convenient! The hotel has like free shuttle buses to almost everywhere! To pier, terminal, airport, Zhuhai immigration checkport etc! SO it’s really convenient! And the ferry to Hong Kong from Macau is really daebak! It’s far much cleaner and better than I expected! HAHAH! If only the rest of China could be like that LOL

First day of Macau/HK shopping trip with Mum!
With my grandmother recent admission to hospital, and depressing news about her cancerous tumour, I wasn’t in the mood at all. What’s more, I’ll be skipping two pracs for VJ Band CIP and the pieces we’re playing is really quite challenging for my part. What a buzzkill. OH. And to top it off, I’m having a really persistent cough. No wonder people say troubles don’t rain; they pour.

Woke up at 3 am since I had to reach airport at 430 am and I was really cranky and snappish. I wasn’t feeling all that excited about the shopping trip but when I got started, I just couldn’t stop! HAHAH! It’s like an adrenaline or sugar rush!

Bought about 4 pairs of shoes, 4 pairs of BEATS earphones (imitation though -.-, got kinda ripped off, but the sound quality is still better than most earphones. Even audio-technica so oh well!), 1 pair of BEATS headphone, and 1 more pair of BEATS earphone (real) HEEHEE!

AND I got this really cute iPhone case! CONFIRM PLUS CHOP WON’T FIND IN SINGAPORE AND IT’S MAD CHEAP! It’s like $10 but hey! Considering its size and cuteness, it’s definitely worth the moolah! Bought a Rilakkuma portable charger (I fervently hope it won’t suddenly explode and spoil my iPhone)

Shopping at Zhuhai is really freaking worth it. Yes, loads of imitation stuff, but hey! It’s of good quality so just buy larh! Anyway, it’s mad cheap too HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!

I’m currently staying at this really attas place, Venetian Hotel. It’s like a replica of Venice, and OMG. There’s lots of stuff here! Casino (super lots of ah tiongs -.- and smoking plus spitting. Best.) and shopping centre! And the suite room is one of the best rooms I ever stayed in! Spacious like mad, and queen-sized beds! OH YES. THIS IS THE LIFE!

The downside of this 6 star hotel is, there is no freaking free wifi. -.- need to pay about SGD$27 for 24 hours. SIAO. Not as if I’m gonna be in the hotel the whole day. At most I’d only be using it for 7 hours. SO NOT WORTH IT. walked around the whole place just to find a place with free wifi, and voila! Just as I was about to give up, Café Deco saved my life! INTERNET~ FINALLY! Need to tweet smth HAHAHHA! But currently some ass is using my MBP’s IP address so I cant go on internet using MBP ): SAD MAX.

Gonna really feedback about this problem asap to the hotel. OH. And the staff personnel, especially those ahtiongs (guys) are being such rude ppl and dunces. Everything also don’t know still give attitude. GL MAX. Someone needs to give them proper service education. Serve with a SMILE.

I’m not discriminating ahtiongs. I met some really great china ppl, like my china buddy ShuBing. But honestly, most of them who I met gave me a really bad impression. “excuse me” is not in the dictionary. They’re like mutes who just shove you away just to be the first in line, even cutting queue at immigration checkpoints. –rolls eyes- talking really freaking loudly as though it’s their freaking house. THEY NEED TO LEARN SOME CONSIDERATION AND PUBLIC COURTESY. Self-centred pigs. Oh, and smoking and spitting. Making that really disgusting noise before spitting. OMG.

Have they ever thought about why they have so much mucus? Cause they smoke loads of cigarettes, polluting the air hence causing your mucus glands in your trachea to secrete more mucus to trap dust and harmful bacteria in the air, which would then be coughed out or swallowed back down to the stomach. It would also cause them to have lung cancer eventually.

They cough and cough and cough, getting chronic bronchitis and eventually emphysema whereby their violent coughing causes the alveoli to break down, decreasing surface area to volume ratio of diffusion of gases. SEE. They are in this state because of themselves. They wanna criticize Singaporeans? OH PLEASE. Look at us. We’re a clean, green city with fresh air, and CONSIDERATE people. Yes, we may be kiasu and whatsoever, but at least we’d help out if an animal was ran over, let alone human beings. OKAY I KNOW I’M GENERALISING AND NOT ALL CHINA PEOPLE ARE LIKE THAT BUT STILL.

Okay shall stop ranting here. China would be so much greater and respectable if the people start having some manners.

ANYWAY, when I finally accessed twitter, my timeline was totally flooded with MAMA news! I didn’t expect much cause I thought SNSD and CNBLUE would not win anything since the votes were not in favour towards them. BUT OH YAY! HAHAHAHHAHAHAH THEY WON! –THROWS CONFETTI IN AIR- the power of 9 and BLUE! HEEHEE!

YONGSEO! <3333333
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Okay, I guess that’s about all for the first day of my shopping trip! It’s been a really fruitful and satisfactory day and I hope tmr’s shopping in Hong Kong would be the same! ^^

P/S trying to kinda revive my dead blog. It’s time I start writing before I get rusty.

Thursday, January 13, 2011 , 1/13/2011 08:54:00 PM

First thing, whoa. Been really eons since I last updated. Guess blogging kinda fade off, no idea what came over me to blog today.

ANYWAY, I'm a Sec4 now. The feelings are really weird like something has changed but yet the same.

A new year, a new beginning and hopefully a new, better me. I'm turning 16 in 3 days (but sadly my height hasn't even increased, kinda pathetic). Cool. 16 on 16 January HAHAHA!

Hopefully, my turning of 16 would make me a much more mature person and of course more self-disciplined. O levels are this year, and I really just wanna turn away and run as far as possible.

Getting good results ain't that easy as most people say. ):

I thought I got over it, but yet it still stings.

Life has gotten better ^^
Probably due to the fact that I'm surrounded with jokers around me now in class, who always crack jokes and making me laugh at inappropriate times.

Life is so much more bearable now, that I'm starting to like it.

____________________________________________________________________________________
I have never really known what one means when they say, "it's so hard to make a choice, let alone the right one!"

No matter which one I choose, I'll regret it deeply. Is it worth it giving up my future for the present? Is it worth bearing others' snide remarks? Is it worth sacrificing so much things that I have worked hard for so far, even though it's like invisible?

So many is it worth it and hows and whys.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Lord, pls let me to be able to make the right choice, the one which I won't ultimately regret when I'm older..
