the great thy returns from camp

i am back from camp! miss me? i know Michelle did. cause she flooded my inbox with all that call alerts from her number. and her first word when i called her was, "where you go, bitch?!" haha. okok.

in short, i find this camp very rewarding for me and i am rather happy for what i achieve.
-i was not a spoil spot except in one game!
-i learnt that winning is not everything. my group did not really win, but we are happy with our performance, because everybody gave in their best. and that we took care of everyone.
-building trust in one another. eg, i was carried in the first activity already.
-i have friendship that exceeds just saying hi and bye cause we been through shit together. haha.
-planning is important! it was very evident that with with proper time management, effective planning and stimulation, things will run really smoothly.
-got back cuts, bruises and body ache.

i hope this camp marks a good start to life in SMU for the next 4 years. i hope SMU would change me, to someone who speaks up in big groups and be less introverted! This is one of the reasons, why i chose SMU over the rest because of their emphasis on different teaching methods. and of course, for a new city campus.

Never

I have never felt so good about my bed and my house toilet before... HOME SWEET HOME! tge camp was great though!

Will be back for more. In the mids of on embarking a 12 sleep journey .

family

I am in macdonald now. Sipping on the disgusting ice latte, which I vow never to touch it again. I should be at work now. I went. But found out that my laptop is missing, no things to do. So the lady asked me to go for lunch. Right, so I am obediently seating in mac now. Haha.

It was my last time sending my fav boy up his sch bus just now. I feel a bit sad that I have to explain to him that "it's not that jie jie dun want you anymore." I promise him that if I finish my work next week, I will be at his service again. As for the girl, she dun really care I guess. Haha. Had not been interacting much with her since taking up a extra job. She understands that I need to go home and stay so my dog will like me again. Haha. So cute!! Baby ar baby! It's sad that I am moving home too. After all, I am like part of the spottiswood household after staying there for 7 months. But I can't deny that I feel happy too. Happy that I no longer have to rush about, shout and scream at the kids, hear the naggings (I am mean ok)...

Signing off with "photograph" playing now.

Last day

I am having lunch now in my office pantry. One person seating on a foldable chair, facing the white wall. Sounds pathetic huh? Haha. But I dun mind this kind of life. I know some of you can't...

Saturday was pre camp dinner. Not many turned up. But of those that turned up, I think we mixed quite well together. There were 2 ns guy, so their topic was obvious. A few girls there, mostly talking about cca. Yawnz.... And oh, my ogl actually came late when she is one the organizer. So trustworthy wah?! And the funny thing is that after the bill at fish and co, there was an extra if like 10 bucks. No one claim it. Haha. Rich ppl school I guess... And in my group there is this guy who drives a two sitter porshe. Wat man?!

My camp will be from Thursday to Saturday. It's going to be at east coast! Like SHIT!! I hate to bath in those public toilet. And sleeping in tents?! So totally not my cup of cake please they were saying that the camp won't be fun, it's more of a learning camp.

Anyways, went to jj college day today. Oh, what a waste of time man! It's my first and last time collecting an award in this school. And the impression, not to good. Haha. Anything with association with jj will never impress me. I am bias!! Watever! Wonder what the cash prize will be. Will be checking my bank account anxously on that! Haha. I am money face! If the money is good, I will be deeply impress though. Hoe Han was there, sitting beside, so not soo boring. Saw my "most favourite and fabulous" teacher too!! Haha.

After that, went to eat with my mum at Amoy then we went home. Played with my new lappie and went to alter my pants again! Haha. The uncle know me already, so I will get discounts. Joking...

Met mic at orchard after that. As usual she is late, and had a flat battery. That's her style!! We went shopping and eating. Quality time!!! =) oh, we look like lesbian partner today. We took turns to carry shopping bag. And she shove me a paper and ask me to pay for her necklace.

7 months

7 months as a baby seater and the end result is, a very spoilt aunt. My aunt brings home the bread and butter for the kids, but she hardly spread the butter on the bread. That's my thought. It's not that she dub care, just lazy to do. Yes, I am rude to put this here. But I just need an outlet.

When I am no longer a seater, I wonder who will suffer? Mind you, I do not think that I am indispensable.

Anyways, I am going to some smu talk tmr. Yea, such a nerd to go for
all the compulsory talk hor!

work and lmy

its 1139pm already! for the past few day at this time, i am long in dream land already. working at both ends is tiring!

i am happy to say that i will be able to complete my data entry job tmr. no more name card scanning and staring into the computer for X hours. this is certainly unhealthy, esp to a person with one good eye only. Working there is good, because i get free lunch from my aunts. so i guess working at orchard road is not bad, provided that my aunts do not change job.

Lmy came to find me for lunch on tuesday. she came all the way from boon lay just to have lunch with me. help me to collect my school leaving cert as well. such an irony that she din get to collect hers, as she still owe the sch a library book. haha. we lunch-ed, crap-ed, laugh-ed and parted. though meeting time was short, it was quality time. since we had not seen each other for at least a month. i gave her a card which touched her as it shows how much i cherish our friendship. THANK YOU FOR COMING ALL THE WAY TO HAVE LUNCH!

Something useful, http://fiveless.wordpress.com/
i wish i had found this earlier, but oh well...

Something meaningful, http://freerice.com/index.php
This is meaningful and improves your vocab as well.

Something ridiculous, http://juniorcollegenotes.blogspot.com/
Like that also can make money huh?! wonder how much are my notes worth? haha. beside i saw someone posting about a communist jc. is it my sch?

updating

hello. i am not dead yet. haha. its been a tiring week for me, despite not working on Friday. but there does not mean slacking at home you know. was rushing here and there before settling things. blame it on poor time management on my part.

anyway, it was Melissa's birthday yesterday. thankfully, it did not rain for the majority of the night. thus, we were able to carry out our plan. Overall, i think it was a great day yesterday. just that the food and cake did not taste too great and they were over price. Next time i will buy from other hawker center, not the tourist-tee Lau Pa Sat, or even prepare myself. other than that, the atmosphere was quite good. After the cbd picnic, we went to eski bar. we were not seated in the icy area, i doubt we can take the cold there too. went home shortly and spent 8bucks on cab fare!
i have a new phone, not surprising right?! But its a SAMSUNG 5mp phone! Eye brow raised?! haha. but currently, i sill do not see the quality its supposed to have. very frustrating, when you have a good phone, but not being able to maximise its performances. i wonder if its my settings or i have a faulty camera. most probably the former reason.

if it all goes well, i might be meeting my buddy on Tuesday. that ass hole, she change hp number without informing ppl! hey, how am i suppose to contact you then?! SAY SORRY! haha. but thankfully, there is msn. which we used efficiently this early morning to arrange a meet up and do a favour for me.

In macdonald

Ha... Its the last birthday of July. Hopefully all things go well for the birthday girl and the organizers for the day. Feeling much more relief now. Not only because the money spending month is over, its also because I have settled by school things!

Yes, I am ready to start school! In a months time, that will be greater challenge ahead. Wonder what kind of friends I will meet, esp project mates. After hearing those horror story by rs and co. . Anyway, smu has this online thing that allow you to view the photos of those in the sch. So I saw one of my childhood playmate there. Haha. And searching for my bro gf in the same block as me.

Work has been going well I guess. No major issues with the software. I am afraid that I will not be able to get things completed by sch start. But I am prepared to go back to work even aft 16aug, because the travelling time is short. I want the cash man! Haha. And mic, not that I dun want to intro you. But there is sombody ready to take over me should I not complete the job.

On a Random note, 5 years in sec sch has been the best part of my life so far. Despite all the shi, there are many sweet as well.. And it will remain the best for many years to come.

I am typing this on my 20min journey, so its a long post.

talk pictures, talk!

explaining to the 7 year old

i was explaining to the boy about the importance of English. thats because he always frown, complain and become grouchy when he have to do his tuition homework. school homework are chicken feet for him. so i use the analogy of playing Mario. if you don't do well in English and do well for others subject, it will be like jumping past 3 holes and falling into the last right in front of the flag. then i told him he will have that type of "AIYAH" feeling. haha. alternatively, you can also put it that i cant jump the first hole, but i know i can do it for the next 3 holes. all in all, it sums up that after all the hard work, you will fail and crumble because of that ultimate one! is that not a pity?! you tell me...

i find this very relevant to me. not that i am blaming anyone or anything. so i do not want Brandon to follow my footsteps!

class girls

so its seems most probable that 1/3 of the class girl will be coming to meet me for lunch/coffee today. i don't mean specially coming down just to have lunch with me... while all of them have stop working and preparing for the new school term, i am still slogging right up to the last minute. for the past 6months it has been the reversed situation. example, i meet lmy for lunch at tanjor pagar. its the other way round now. haha. i think its ok, since school do not start till 18Aug. also, i would prefer to go to school awake and alive. i think i was not for the past few months.

oh oh, there is the lesbian party at zouk tonight. i wanna go, but afraid that i will be a zombie tomorrow. how? ARGH! see first then. mic hates this line. haha.

at work

i am blogging from my workplace. everyone is having meeting, that leaves me alone. not that i want to slack, just that i have not got what i am supposed to be working on. on while waiting, i am typing this.

went for smu matriculation yesterday, and completed it today. so tiring! took me about 3 hours yest, there was a lot of ppl. had to attend the compulsory voluntarism talk. thank god the talk was something i have interest in. its about saving the marina. volunteers go out to do patrols on bikes and boat to clear rubbish and be steward to the water environment. the talk end at about 5. went to collect my pants and took a cab home from Funan. the taxi fare came up to 10.30!! luckily i have a free hour now to pay for that. haha. went back to smu today for the library orientation, before coming here. and there are thing undone still... sight... after matriculation, there are more activities. there is a talk on career service. a 3d2n compulsory camp. and a convocation which requires me to be in formal wear. sucks sucks!!! got to spend money and buy clothes again!

i took about 15mins to explore smu today. its nice! and i got my matriculation card. the picture dun look too good. as usual. my eyes were kinda out of focus. ok, i am looking forward to Saturday! all the cakes, snacks and precious DOTS time. haha.

Life

It had been a busy week for me. And there will be a few more busy week before school starts. My boss has asked me to commit for another 1 mth or so! Love to hear that! It means: cash rolling, rolling.oh ya, my boss is not bad I think.so far i have not heard my aunt complaining about her... She allows me have a higher pay. And she thinks that I am some secondary school kid, so she got a shock when I told her I am starting school in smu. Haha. But I am also worried about losing this job, because of my irregular work hours, 12-530.

Hy was asking me if I am excited or scared to start school. I am not to sure about this question. Mix feelings I guess. On one hand I worry about the new 'friend' I will be meeting and whether I will be able to cope in school. On the other hand, I am excited that my life is finally moving on! Having been stuck at the same status for 8 mths- 'waiting for uni entry', I will finally become an undergraduate. Haha. Excited about the challenges in school as well.

Setting aside work and personal feeling, let ne talk more about my social life. Fri, met mic at ICG. We walk to town after that. Sat down with a big glup and talk. Its always fun talking to her, cause we are basically free to express our thoughts. Dun have to be tactful. A short time spent together, but will look back always on such quality time. Sat, met HY! It was a very last min meeting. She is the only one that can come down to raffles city in 1/2 hour call. We had mos burger, something that she induced in me because she love chilly dog a lot last time. We chat and bought art materials for those July babies! Excited to see it?! Haha. As for later, I will be meeting freddy. Lmy went missing, so she is probably not coming. These 2 are my jc gang.

For once, July seem good with all those birthdays... The dots will clock in record number of meeting time. Haha. Despite the $ outflow, time spent together will be priceless. Since everyone is so concerned with their after-secondary school socializing. Haha. Am I right?!

I will throw in a last quote that pretty much sum up my last 7 month.
"BRANDON, YOUR MAID AR?!"
yes a maid, a high class one.

My part time job

Want to know of my part time job?! Then read on!!

Haha. My part time job is one created by errors.

The first thing I did was to stick correction stickers. The error was
due to the fact that the company over printed their expensive travel booklet. So instead of throwing about 2700 of them away, they hired me to change the promotion date.

Next, packing key chains. Intially, they gave out the keychain without processing it. Direct from the factory in china to the consumer. Feedback was not good. So, I got the job to beautify the key chain.

The next segment I will embark on is not on human error. Its the name card scaner error. Had it been able to scan with 100% accuracy, I might not land the job.

So here I am sitting ,gloating on others' error and counting my cash.

And i am too productivity... probably going to earn less money. SHIT!

myra's birthday

my jelly. if i could, i would put my signature on it. everyone was praising it i think. see a RA there? i form it using pomegranate fruit. never see before right?!

the birthday girl like the "cake." thats good!

the gang!

the gang minus thy.

my birthday cake and a false smile. haha.

so, it was Myra's birthday celebration yesterday, although her birthday is today. apparently, she had two celebration prior to yesterday's. one with her poly mate and another with her parents. We had at dinner at the Japanese place with marche concept. i must say that, that place is smelly! i think all of us had a great time catching up with one another. we did the usual, eating, pinching each other food and laughing at one another. oh ya, candles should actually be recycled, as in reuse for the next birthday. i think this hold a more significant value than just celebrating birthdays!

anyway, in any of my homemade present, i would appreciate that the person look more at the thoughts and effort, rather than the aesthetic of the object.

started with my part 2 of part time work yesterday, mind you, i am still baby sitting. though not really part of the environment (i mean, who cares about a part timer), its nice to observe the dynamics of office life- ie. how ppl interact and norms in office i would call. and i embarrassed myself yesterday, trying to open a locked door. Argh.

Read this: http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/Movies/9902/10/annabel.chong/
i salute her courage and insanity.but, surely there are other ways to conduct such experience right?! HCI and Raffles Girls should actually disowned her. haha. its a bit/very noob to know of this thing only now.

its my 200 post!

woo hoo!!! 200th post here! since its my 200th post, i will be writing something special. well, its to do with my everyday life, but not yours. so its special and something worth sharing with you guys.

two great dramas happened today. HERE GOES!

getting the children to settle down and eat their dinner! dinner took place. then, mei mei trip accidentally. WATCH OUT, HERE COMES DRAMA 1! she started to cried. and VOMIT! everyone except the boy was trying to clean up the mess. one aunt took her for a bath, the other one cleaning the mess. i was getting kitchen towel, while grandma prepared the mop. the maid was bathing at the "RIGHT" time. drama 1 ended after mei mei took her shower.

soon after, we had dessert prepared by chef thy-- nutella banana pizza!

followed by dessert, it was homework and drama ma ma time. brandon was learning Chinese spelling. i told him to write each words twice, but he bargained, and wrote just once. as usual, he had problems writing the words out. my aunt punished him to write 10 times for the 4 words. while in his second word correction, his mummy came home. he started to cry like a MEGA CRY BABY AND ANGRY BOY.i think that he was afraid that his mummy would scold him for not learning well in the first place, the boy decided to run his own show, before being run! he was crying, complaining how we (aunt and i) make his frustrated and gave him trouble. this drama ran on for 30mins. then he told him mummy, "actually you should be the one looking after me, not cutie jie jie."

the drama ended with that sentence, while the thinking in my heart begins.
where do i stand now? is it time to call it a break? i certainly dont mind giving up my weekly allowance to save this relationship from worsening. i think i would just play along now and see how things turn out.

so, have i put in a interesting post for my 200th post?!
goodbye.
tennis, swimming, shopping and cycling tmr!

smu

1) "but if u're more concerned with the reputation of the sch. nus will definitely be a better choice. ranked way higher than smu. dun think smu is even in the top 500 unis in the world according to the uni ranking web. or if u're more concerned with the starting pay, smu is the one for u"

it does not make sense to me why smu's ranking is much lower than nus, since its harder to get into smu. probably cause smu intake is much lower. it could also be because smu has less faculty to fight the nus-s and ntu-s. also due to its new-ness. haha. but i the second part make sense with me. smu's graduates are known to get higher starting pay. hopefully, this situation will stay till i graduate. by the way, smu's graduate should get higher pay ok! school fees is so much more expensive.

2) "i would like to share my experience, my GPA is 3.81 and i applied for Accountancy first choice! After 2 weeks of submitting my application, smu called me up for biz mgmt interview, i was quite sad as i thought that my results are not good enough for even an accountancy interview, i went for biz mgmt interview and basically nothing happened.

I got to found out from a few friends that they got called up for accountancy interviews(their results are not as good as mine). Naturally i was pissed, i emailed SMU demanding an explanation to why i wasn't even selected for interview for Accountancy when my results are far better than man friends. They got back to me withing 2 days, and offered me a interview for Accountancy next friday, i went for the interview and 4days later, i got offered from SMU Acc, and i've accepted them =)"

i find this very amusing and scary. luckily it did not happen to me. because i do not know ppl taking the same boat as me. so how am i going to compare and gauge my chances. it also show that we must be more proactive and fight!

i dunno what i am talking

its been a long long holiday for me. although i claim verbally that i am working, i know i am not. you probably know it too. those are probably words to console/comfort myself that i am not a some worm at home. and to tell me that i am someone working for my own expenditure. haha. this paragraph make sense to me, might not to you.

anyway, i was on the bus today. 197 single deck, relating to days of me going to national lib daily to study. i was thinking about how approximately 8 months have passed since alevels end. and that i have not achieved anything since accomplishing the feat of being in the exam hall for 6 hours in a day. haha. seriously! maybe working as a promoter, a so not me job, is one. hmm... one accomplishment in 7months, thats pathetic! my brains are degenerating, as if they are not degenerated enough! by the time uni start, my brain will be the 512mb RAM.

alright, among all these unhappiness that are things to cheer about. like, i had two great holidays. seems like i have done my advanced travel for my university days. haha. hopefully not!!!! i really wish to go for those overseas attachment and hong kong with my mummy. i have a part time job with a hai ke yi pay. introduced by my aunt. its a easy job, good location and freedom. what more can i ask for. in a hourly paid job, you better be more productive per hour! i was kidding. i did some nice things to my ipod touch and i doubt i will be changing the theme anymore.

backed

alright, time to start blogging again.

life has been pretty much the same since i am back. went back to work on Thursday after taking leave on Wednesday.

on Wednesday, met up with the dots, before hy go Malaysia. we had dinner at the familiar lucky plaza eatery. Speaking of which, the most memorable of that place would be us seeing news of mrs lee being sick on NEWPAPER, which is untrue. she had pass away on that very afternoon. you think so? i know Melissa wont remember. after that we went to a nice place for dessert. chatting, eating, laughing at one another. one of the best enjoyment so far in my life. i feel happy when i am with this bunch of ppl. most of the time la. haha. This group have been reduced to a few, but what matters most is the fun that still remain. strayed dots, we will still welcome your return at some gossiping cost. haha.

the next few days have been spent at my grandma place. where else right?! soon, school will start and the alien feeling to that place will begin again. alright, i will cut my crap and post pictures from my trip. this are pictures taken from my phone, so i will be missing.

I am back

I am back with a running nose and hoarse sexy voice. Hopefully no jet lag for me, though I am feeling sleepy now.

From San francisco

Hi guys! I am in San francisco. The place that kick off my trip, and the place to end it. Its freezing cold here, yeah talk about summer!! Probably due to the pacific ocean. Was at pier 39 just now, never felt so cold before. My teeth was fighting man! Might also be due to my thin wind breaker as well. Freezing cold now, and a few days ago, it was so hot in las vegas!! The sand storm in death valley and playing snow (ice) near Yosemite make the trip really interesting and memorable.

In 2 days time, I will be packing my bag to go home. Arriving on tues noon. Excited to be back home to showoff my loot! Haha. To think about it, I din get much for myself. Mostly for my mum! And, I want to eat RICE!! No more fast food for the next week please!

complains!!!!!

I am so tired. After 3 days of themepark walking, my body is aching! Got home from Disney at 1am plus yesterday.

Beside, I have 2 experience to share.

First: I was standing beside a Q holding a Disney thing and money. Then a lady started telling me, there is a line with the look as if I was going to cut her Q, which she bloody hell held up! I just look at her and walk away.

Second: we were looking for aunt who was at the front of Q. We steam trained right up, and those white skin were like- hey there is Q and they are just budging in.

I just want to conclude that they should maybe hold their liberalism. Just observe the next move, dun have to shoot ppl off. It causes misunderstanding and embarrassement. Freedom of speck is something to be proud of, but used in a wrong way, it is crap.

Ps. Just sharing a view of mine. Do you share the same view?

Its 1am sunday here in the US. I am waiting for the dryer to be ready, thus decided to drop by.

Today was shopping day! From the time the outlets open till they close, with 2 meals as well. Had burgers and fries for the whole day... I spent about xxx usd on shopping today. A personal record, not to be proud of. But they were mainly good good good deals, so I rather not regret and just went for the chiong tactic. Surprising I spent none at Nike, which was suppose to be my "favourite." it was the first day of shopping but we already open 3 extra bags. So far so good here, present not brought, but money already got drained. How?! Haha.

Will be back again. Tc guys.

one of the greatest victory

man u has won the champion league!!! the best thing that happen to me as a man u fan so far. and perhaps the thrashing of roma last season. the victory in 98/99 was too young for me to savour. the champions league has been the one we always wanted. eluded us for many years, and finally!!!

as for match, i dun exactly think that it was a lucky victory. although chelsea did hit the bar a few times, including the JT penalty. i spring from the couch at that moment. luck gave chelsea the first goal and got them back in, same, it cost them the game as they rattle the bar and post thrice. football is round, what comes around, goes around. overall, i think the best team won, which is man u. man u had not lost in the tournament and they drew tough opponents for almost every knockout round. lyon, roma and barcelona. for this, we deserved the tittle.

kh will disagree, so will other chelseas' fan. but does it matter? GLORY GLORY GLORY MAN UTD, AS THE REDS GO MARCHING ON.

Good news

Saturday - met up a bunch of jc friends, 3 to be exact. They were nic, esther and freddy. It was a last min plan. We went to spize for dinner and then to ICG for ice cream! Finally get to treat esther for all her hard work in the lib, which is to get seats. Thanks a lot man! That certainly helps in my alevel days followed we went a park near my place. Took the swing, and it was fun! Been a long time since I had been to a park.

Sunday- woke up early afternoon and receive good good news. Wahaha. This piece of news certainly gives me more security and stability. Takes away worries as well. Thanks auntie, I know you won't be reading though. Going out with mum later to get some stuff for the trip. Will be busy this week for I have to collect my new passport, work part time (paste sticker) and of course still do my regular job. Then Friday will come... Getting a bit excited. =) hehe.

lost for words

i seem to have lost the ability to express my feelings. or rather, i dun feel comfortable to put them here anymore.

some thoughts:

sometimes i feel alien in my group of friends. this explains my moodiness.

i need a new outlet for myself.

i need a get away, which thankfully, i will be getting. not really,my 2 babies will still be with me.

we are the champions

had not been home for a week to sleep. that is one record man! haha. i think my brother loves it as they can have one room each.

today
went for breakfast today with brandon and co. and then head to vivo for mother's day lunch. we had dian xiao er. nothing fantastic. their famous roast duck taste like the $2 one at my house downstairs. this sentence says it all. after that was iron man show. not bad,i must say. but its like soo transformer... went for some house viewing with my aunts and backed to grandma place for dinner. followed was the manu game, which gave us the tittle. chelsea drew with bolton. so the tittle was more justified, instead of using goal difference to decide. wohoo! BPL champions for twice in a row! been a few years since this happen. at least 3/4seasons.

going to do homework now. tata.

birthday woes

life is crap now. i am staying home, becoming fat... darm, btter start losing some weight bfore sch starts.

oh well, BBQ this coming Saturday to celebrate birthday for the May babies, debra and hy. the first two among us to hit 20. not exactly looking forward to it, sorry. by the way, its kinda our first BBQ we organised together. strange, since we knew each other for such a long time. i link to this to an empty vessel. talk about years of friendship, but without much .... . pardon me if you think i am wrong.

its kinda tiring cause mic and i seem to be doing birthday organisation for everyone, except ourselves, DUH! nobody seems willing to take the lead when it comes to occasions like this. sometimes i wonder if you guys feel guilty not doing something. i admit its partly the organiser not asking for greater involvement, but cant your open your mouth and volunteer to some work?! its not that i cant take the work or unwilling too, but dun you think it should be a team effort? i think its just that my friends are too busy with their other half. by the way, thank you for your continuous support for our activities which only warrant you to pay and attend, leaving your morals at home. worse, some of you cant even do the basic. hia, i feel so sad for you.

to sum up, birthdays are a time to celebrate with friends, make them happy through money and time pump in to make things successful and the frustrations i/we will enjoyed.

ps, this post is 90% of long term suppressed frustrations and 10% of moodiness.

downloaded the icons, created some myself. and VOLIA! my own theme. so proud of myself.

licking my wounds

nice! i got rejected by ntu accountancy and business. well, it might not be a defeat to some, but i put it down as a lost for me. this is a result i anticipated, but definitely i did not hope for it. no excuses for it, i performed badly in the interview. and my English sux! yupe yupe...

making light of what happen, i can gladly go ahead with my first offer and also my desired offer. i will not be offered any more of accountancy, so there will be less dilemma and regrets. applying for ntu was a strategy, which my aunt devise. if all goes well, i am supposed to get offered in all three different faculty, and then i can decide again. obviously, i do not have that luxury now. i just dun understand why i was offered a place in smu economics and not ntu accountancy. thinking about it, economics probably requires better English as there is more reading and writing. as for accountancy, just draw up accounts and write some reports. i dun understand. i wont hide in the room and cry, but i am disappointed with myself. and perhaps feel some injustice.

moving on from this depressing topic. i spent hours reading up on my new toy. and i manage to make it much nicer, with more features from the original one. any one from apple reading this? the first one is after much work (totally love it!), second one is the close to original dull ipod.

alright, i need to go lick my wounds already. no la, to watch ch55 9pm show, which is last episode.darm! good shows always finish fast. ***, HERE I COME! wahaha.

freak

oh freak! its 4am and i am not asleep yet. mind you, i did not take any naps yesterday alright.

went for the food and hotel show at expo with hy. an eye opener! its an international trade show, held every two years. it cost 80bucks to go in, probably to deter ppl who want cheap gains. but none the less, these ppl are still plenty full in spore. OMG! saw a man stealing frozen mussels, he grab a handful and threw it into any of his bags. so sick can! those are frozen staff as well. haha. they had good food for sampling, but discriminate policy there was. samples were not dished out readily for us (student of course). besides, its not those show where you get to try new maggie mee or soya bean milk... we tried gelatoes from three booth and were full after that. haha. there was this really nice cake as well, which will probably go for 5bucks at cafes.

*coffee art. if you watch coffee prince, you will know this.

*chocolate art.

oh, my main reason of staying up is to play with my new toy. finally able to do some cool stuff with it already. and in the process, it make me realised the power of forums.

ntu interview did not go down too well. beside the crux of the interview --- "you have a consistent bad grades in english, how do you think you will be able to cope in our course that requires lots of essay skills." excuse me, i write h2 essay for fun during alevels! haha. i doubt i will get offered a place in their ultra hot accountancy course anyway. the reason being hot because its 3 year direct honours, as compared to the rest. well, not to disheartened by it though. but getting accepted will make me feel better. but if they offer me, i might get tempted, and then regret for 3 years. haha. pardon me.

the next step

hi guys, i am back for another boring post. i hope this post wont sound like i am some EXCELLENT STUDENT/BIG SHOT/PROUD. i am just weighing my options.

anyway, i am down for another interview, an unexpected one. NTU accountancy called me at 9am Friday morning to go for an interview. according to my cousin and the website, the interview is meant for borderline cases. yeah, all thanks to my excellent GP grades. seriously this interview bothers me quite a lot. it meant my "supposed thinking of getting into every course" is up in smoke. furthermore, its in boon lay. very very convenient. having to travel 2hour for a 45min event really puts me off. and this made me have second doubt on choosing ntu, if i get offered a place.

oh well, as you all know, smu is my preferred choice. the fact of it being near my place is a superficial and naive reason. i want smu because, i think i will open up there. come on, they forced you to speak there. if you dont, you get no marks. i think this makes smu very stressful because you have to be on your toes every minute. my brother told me its pretty much a project based school. and that his friend is suffering in the business faculty. SMU will make a good training ground for a small small girl in a big big world. i am pretty sure of this. but, the higher school fees and possibly of more hippies there will put me off. lets just hope that they offer me a place.

how can i miss out NUS? to sum up, its mr reliable, mr trustworthy and mr safe. not forgetting mr traditional. haha. i dunno la.

the third paragraph is what i really want. but my second paragraph kinda say "stop, you are not that good after all!" yeah, worries never seems to ceased in life. first, results. now, getting into a school. next, friend you meet there. the list just keeps piling. till the day you die i think.


okok. mel is back from australia. and she brought me krispy kreme. yum yum.

icon pool

Yo,greetings from the pool at icon. Its about 30degrees now. Nice! Wahaha. Ignore this post. All the best to those who started ACH this week. May your GPA rise and hit the sky. Haha. I love my new toy cause I am allow to do outdoor blogging.

good weekend

to sum up, it was a great weekend.

a new toy, which is really cool.

an outing with jc mates that i will most definitely want to keep the relationship going.

a wonderful Singapore flyer ride with cam-whoring for 30mins, fun with family and dinner at popeyes.

but most magnificently, it will be the breathtaking match that you cannot take your eyes away. for almost 90mins, it was end to end stuff. too fast for the camera to catch in some situations. man u ran out deserving winners i would say. in my opinion, winner in football are those who take their chances and SCORE. man u did, and they won. with this win, we are back in the driving seat for the tittle. its ours to lose now. come snatch it, Chelsea. we will break your 4 yrs home record and win it at the bridge. i am loving football more and more.

lonely saturday

its saturday today. a few days ago, my saturday looks promising. because it was planned for me to go sp to watch canoe polo, followed by cycling and dinning at east coast. but in actual, i did none of the above. all i did was to go suntec with mum and bro for lunch, and buy myself a new toy.

@ icon

yoz. as you can see from my title, i am at icon now. waiting for 1pm to meet the birthday girl--JEANETTE! i like icon, it gives me a sense of peace when there is little ppl here. as for now, i am the only one here. so yea, i am having lots of peace.

so it was my first lesbian party last night/morning at st James. an eye opener for me. WTF! how can girls/couple dance till like that. all that kissing going on. and the very o p e n mini talk show held by the BA-BOP. quite funny. i wont mind going again, esp when there will be those bung hunt or something. haha. oh, who say go clubbing must dance? cant i just stand at the dance floor and enjoy the music?! oh, if you are afraid of smelly, touchy and irritating guys at clubs, go les party. almost guy free, so very safe. in a sense that only girls will touch you.

JEANETTE, MY BEST FRIEND IN JC! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! GROWING OLDER IS NOT A BLOW, ITS A CHALLENGE AND RESPONSIBILITY. ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR FUTURE AHEAD AND MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE. MORE GATHERING OK!

free.

its been a busy week for me. Monday and Tuesday have been spent doing tuition. so tiring to go to bukit batok. thought tuition is 2 hours, but i take another 2 hours to go there. and great, my cousin just call to ask me to take over a pri 5 boy in bedok for three weeks. i am still thinking because its soo far. but at the same time, i want to return him the favour. so what to do?
anyone wants to take the job?

yesterday, i went for the SMU interview. i am glad that it went well, in a sense that i was able to contribute in the discussions. i think the question are quite easy, almost like GP. coincidentally, there was a jj girl in the interview group as well. talk to her while walking to national library. i hope i get into smu, but i dun wanna put so much hopes into it first. greater hopes always bring a bigger disappointment.

been working hard for the past few days. so its time to slack again. earning money is tough. spending money is easy. brought 50bucks out and i only have 8bucks in my wallet now. hia... but i am proud to say that i dun take allowance from my parents anymore. transport and stuff are by my own now. sometimes, i even give my mum money.

alright, got to go. maybe afternoon nap or mysoju time.

busy bee

its been a busy weekend and a busy week ahead.

saturday started with a trip down to orchard to get POA textbook from ren shan. and then to bukit batok to give tuition. really tiring to travel and talking for almost 2hrs. after that, met michelle to go jurong west sports stadium (a last minute decision). BOY, boon lay mrt changed a lot. its been a few months since i been there. the last time was on the last day of ALEVELS. the only thing that din change was the crowd level. and the smelly chocolate smell. i will never miss those days. oh, we went to jurong west to meet myra. she was there for a floorball competition. great time catching up with her and mic. reach home at about 8plus that day.

today, was suppose to have tuition at 9. it was cancelled because the person have to work. slept late and met eileen and freddy for lunch. lmy was suppose to come. but could not, due to some crap reason as stated by her. tell me how crap it is when we meet. haha. went to ice cream gallery and they finally tasted the heavenly ice cream. haha. ICG is much much better than swensen. they make swensen look like your KINGS and MARIGOLD can?! they left at about 5plus and i stayed on in ICG. had a great time with mic and my mum.

next week, i have tuition from monday to thursday. 1 to 3 pm. money money, keep rolling rolling. haha. i am quite scared that the girl wont pay me on the last day man. really. oh, i will be going to SMU for interview as well. darm scare man! to me, it will be a disgrace to fail the interview. according to reliable sources, they will be asking me about economic policy or current affairs. time to pick up my notes again. not only that, i have to plan what to wear as well. DOUBLE HEADACHE! oh best part, i THINK my interview is on wednesday.

oh, i msg my dearest form teacher to ask her for a testimonial which is require by SMU. but she did not even give me a reply. thanks a lot man!! NOT WONDER I LOVE JJ SOO MUCH! not to mention that mrs low, my form teacher 3 years ago said she can write a new one but i will have to remind her of my qualities. see the difference. besides, heard from eileen that some of the class guys asked from her as well. and they were given i think. correct me on this. does it kill to reply a msg?! i will give you 20cents, KEEP THE CHANGE!

hello

i have been quite busy the past few days.

Sunday, went to jb. not much to comment on except that the food was cheap. i dun think it was dirt cheap la. din eat as much as jac too. glad that we made it back safe and sound as well. =)

Tuesday, went back to smss. Durga and Jd made us wait for almost 2.5hrs before they make their star appearance! and so we spent a good few hours in school. dunno what i was doing there as well. there was not much changes in school, apart from the canteen. new painted wall and seats to be precise. glad to say the teacher still remember us. by our looks i think, doubt they can remember our names, esp yvonne's and mine. the few are pretty famous like durga, jd and debra. mrs low was nice to invite us into the staff room to chat. then we talk of the good old days and most of the time, there will be joy and laughter. oh, Mr anthony can still remember our class! he said we were small like 26 and that we got together to do practice papers. spot on man! no nonsense man really!

yesterday, i brought brandon to the dentist. there goes his two front teeth. still cute though. its easier to feed him now, cause the spoons goes into his mouth with ease. haha. spent our time in suntec Popular before sending him to school. spent about 40bucks on cab fare. the first trip was like 27bucks! from grandma's place to mt sina and to suntec. reach home at about 1plus. really tiring man! went jogging too. haha. more like walking. at least i try to exercise and lose some weight.

today, finally got back some slacking time. haha. that explains why my fingers are dancing on the keyboard now.

anyway, if ALL GOES WELL, i might be packing my bags for a big holiday in June. there is IF ALL GOES WELL. but i will become a pauper if i go. so stay tune for this space.

my suggestion

my suggested way of thought!

NUMBER 1: follow your heart! does your heart say go or not.
NUMBER 2: ask your Parents. though we are entering adulthood, parents still holds the key and money.
NUMBER 3: evaluate the choice. weight your pros and cons.
NUMBER 4: give an absolute answer. not one that swaggers around.

friends, please adopt a similar model. do not put number 4 as your first and then fly the aeroplanes of others.

holiday

i wanna go on a holiday again. but i will be broke if that really happens. does not quite make sense for me to spend almost 600bucks to go Bangkok just to eat and walk walk. i think its better to wait for cheap airfare then find someone else to go again. going to Bangkok would not be a problem if i earn big bucks or something, meaning at least 1 thousand a month after cpf deductions. but the problem is, i am not!

hmm, looks like i just have to settle for jb. wahaha. yea, the poka dots gang are finally going to get their passports stamp together. eh, actually we went oversea together before. but under the noses of parents and teachers. you guys went shanghai in sec 4 and i went Bintan twice. so the trip across the causeway will be our first, with no higher authorities. hopefully everything will turn out well and fun.

anyway, to those going. your want to watch movie? think its 10RM. like so cheap can! go look at the website http://www.cathayholdings.com.my/cineplexes/cineplexes.html and tell me again. we need to plan for the time and venue of meeting as well.

oh, did application for all 3 university already. of all, NUS application is the easiest. you basically just have to check the details and put in your choices. SMU is perhaps the most troublesome. have to type about your achievements and send in olevel results and stuff. looks like i have to get miss tan to give me a testimonial. which might turn out useless, because i have no achievements whatsoever. still need to go for interview.

korea photos.

here are some pictures from my trip to korea. its in order, from last day to first day. its quite hard to give good comments to all pictures to let you know whats going on, but i will try. oh, PLEASE START FROM THE BOTTOM.

contrasting difference of the high class and high rise apartments and those slumps look alike. evidence of rich poor divide?

my first casino entry.
this is nice, though oily. there is rice, korean ricecake, chicken and vegetables. its like a massive friend rice.
winter sonata is everywhere! from this famous shopping street in chuncheon to nami island. both are near each other. there was even a street sign on the main road, telling ppl about the location of the filming site.

Nami-Island and the neat rows of trees. its like our sentosa, a relaxing island.

the 38 parallel. the line which divides north and south korea before the 1950korean war. its now a resting station.

this picture and the one below is taken from a peak at the resort. 20mins cable car ride up to the peak and another 20mins down. i love this two pictures the most, because i look cool in both. wahaha. i think this place is one of the highlights of the trip.
after cheju, we went to yong-pyong ski resort. they are famously known for the filming of winter sonata. along the way up to the ski resort, the some mountains still had snow on them. so it was quite a sight. especially when Singapore do not have any distinct season.

some bridge in cheju island which is after the waterfall.
this is Dragon Head Rock. form by the solidification of lava. this place is in cheju island, which is boring! but for first timer to korea, just go see look.
waterfall. nice!

the types of kimchi available. most expensive is the ginseng one that is served to the kings in the past.
we learn to make kim chi here! the teacher demostrate how to make the chili paste. all we did was to smear chili on the cabbage. this place ties themselves with DA CHANG JIN.
this is my hotel in downtown Seoul. great location, can walk to Myong-dong and Nadeuman. oh, first photo after i heard my results as well.
