I PASSED MY DRIVING THEORY!!!!!!!! woohoooo!!!

So tired.
Last night was a crazy ass party man.
Haha. I don't know if I wanna go thru that again.

Can't believe it.
School's starting TOMORROW.
That's so damn fast.
Sigh.
I really hope I'll do better.
*cross fingers*

I realised that if you want to fully emerge yourself in a new environment, you've got to let go of ur past life. Still holding pieces of memories but not yearning for things that are so far away from me.

Six flags was pretty fun!
Love roller coaster rides.
Finally get to sit on some hardcore ones.
Really good...

today was a pretty rest and relax day.
Bought more house stuff.
Cleaned up my toilet and room.
Now I'm just waiting for Brad to move all his stuff out then I can FINALLY move in properly!

Here are some pics at six flags!

Everyone!

Me on the merry-go-round

The kids!

Stoning.
As school approaches, I'm starting to feel reluctant to accept the fact that I have to start using my brains again.
Being slack was a pretty nice feeling. (cept that it got boring after awhile.)
Oh well.
I'm just happie I got the classes I wanted.

Tomorrow I'm going sixflags.
Long day.
Hope I can keep the energy level up to last me the day.
Don't know why I'm always so tired.
Maybe I lack the exercise.

Ro and I sent my brother off to the airport today.
On the way back we kinda got caught in a storm.
So scary.
The sky was constantly flashing with lightning.
Scared it might turn into a tornado, we stopped at Bob Evans for dinner in hope for it to stop.
After dinner it got worse but there was still no tornado warning so we decided to brave the weather and head home.
It was so scary.
I was anticipating anything at that point of time.
A flying deer....turned over cars... hahaha. I watch too much tv.
Luckily we made it back in ONE (or at least 2) piece.

Ok. Gotta sleep early.
waking up at 5am!!! *bleah*

Miss u guys at home.....

Sunday, August 22, 2004 . 7:33 PM

At my brother's now.
Yesterday was such an irritating day.
I can't believe I slept from 7 to 11pm.
After that Roland drove me back home to get my stuff and then I went back to my bro's to continue sleeping till this morning.
I'm like some pig man.

Haven't really moved into my place yet.
Everything's still a mess.
Brad's things are still in my room and the place seriously needs a gd cleaning up.

Life's so different living off campus.
Now I always have to think about saving cost and I have to account for everything I spend on.
Was never like this before.
Guess it's good for me.
About time I should start learning not to waste money.
Hahaha. Luckily, down here there aren't any cabs.

Planning to take my driver's theory tomorrow.
Hopefully I won't procrastinate and actually follow thru with my plans.
It's about time I learn how to drive.
MY hands are getting itchy.
Got car no license!

This morning I woke up feel as if I'm back in Singapore.
Was so wierd.
I wanted to ask my mum to pack up this shirt for me to bring to US.
hahahaha. It was as if I was transported back to my room.
I'm starting to miss home.
I feel so far away. So out of place.
*sigh*

David: how are u!!!! so wierd that I haven't talked to u in a week! ahahaha...

Saturday, August 21, 2004 . 8:27 AM

Just woke up.
Stoned.

No plans for today.
Wonder what awaits me..

Can't believe school is starting soon.
So not looking forward to it.
Ughhhh....

Friday, August 20, 2004 . 3:55 PM

At home.
Gotta clean my room.
Got a dog in my room now.
She's the cutest ever.

The past few days have been quite busy.
Two days ago Roland came back and Chris and I went to pick him up.
Quite a scary ride cos' on the way up, they had a tornado warning.
We could see the tornado at the back of us as we drove to the airport.
Anyway, we managed to come back in one piece so all's good.

Yesterday Roland and I brought the freshmen around.
In the evening they all came over to my place to chill.
In the end, I was so tired man.
Just conked out on the bed.

Lynn and Twee are coming back tomorrow.
Finally!

I can't wait to get my learner's permit!
Ugh. My hands are itching to drive now.
Help!!!! My place is rather inconvenient to stay at esp without a car.
I need CAR.

Oh yesh! Amy!!! I drank cafe LATTE!!! my first official cup of coffee.
After that, I only slept for 3 hours.
Deadly stuff.

I'm starting to wish that money grew on like trees or something.......

Tuesday, August 17, 2004 . 9:46 PM

Sleepy.
Jetlagging...
Must keep awake....

Sunday, August 15, 2004 . 1:38 AM

My last day here.
Gosh. I don't know why but I feel more sad than when i first left.
I think the first time was pure excitement.
Now, I quite look forward to going back, but I hate to see my parents so sad and I hate to have to leave them again.
*sigh* how contridicting.

Anyway, here's a few shout outs before i leave!

David: Hey...i think thank you is not enough to make up for everything you've done for me. I really REALLY owe u alot. Hopefully I'll get my chance when u come to visit in Nov! Thanks for everything. I'm really gonna miss u and our wed movie nights. hee. Take care yeah? *hugzz* Drive safely!!!! and use the kit yeah. I'm not around to direct u the "right" way anymore. hee... Remember that when you need someone, I'm just a phone call or a computer away and thanks to technological advancements, I'm closer than you think I am. *grinZ*

The babes (Belle, Cel, Jie and Lea): I really had fun spending time with all of u. Esp when Cel came back! =) Thanks for being so patient with me all the time and for being such great friends for the past few years. I really can imagine us all wrinkled up and old sitting at sakae ordering hotate. Hahahaha. Jie, thanks for teaching me how to bake! U're the best! Love u all!!! *muakZ*

Shaun & Zhiqiang: Sad that we couldn't really meet up much but despite the distance, you guys will always be the greatest in my heart. take care buddies!

Janice: Hope things in school will get better. I think it's most impt if you do something you like. Then the next few years won't be so torturous like in JC. Anyway, I'm really going to miss you. But it's ok. Webcam is the answer! Heee. And yes...I'll remember 501 levis!

Marcus: Sorry i couldn't find the time to meet up with u in the end. Hope life's treating u well yeah. Anything just drop me an email or something. I'll call u when I get my calling card? Take care!

Chuanxin: Hey buddy! thanks for all the music, all the chatting on msn and for always being there for meee..... missing u already!

Last but not least, to my parents (though i doubt u'll get to read this): I love both of u soooooo much. I hate to see you sad but this is the road God has led me to. you're the reason why home is home. take care and I'm missing you always!

That's about it for now.
Need to start packing.
Gonna miss home. Take care everyone.

Thursday, August 12, 2004 . 9:24 PM

Waiting for my mum to come down so that we can go do our hair and face.
This is the life.....

I'm thinking twice on whether I should get a new handphone over there.
I have this tendency to overuse handphones and to think about it, maybe life would be better being virtually uncontactable.
But then again, I think my roommates will suffer from it.
hahaha.
I was talking to Roland and he said maybe get a handphone with no reception like during my first sem there.
Technically, I'll still be uncontactable. Haha.
But I doubt that will happen.
My parents also think that I won't be able to live without one. *grin*

Yesterday, I lost 90 bucks in mahjong.
*bleah* I think I'm retiring from the "sport" of dry swimming.
Not only my back hurts, my wallet hurts too.
At night, I watched catwoman with David.
Not really the best I've watched.
I think marvel gives better movies.
Today we're going for jap food and watching collateral!
This one should be better. Hee.
Anyway, Time for me to go!!!

Bez FrienD: Glad u liked it! hahaha. take care babe! *muakz*

Wednesday, August 11, 2004 . 7:44 PM

Today's my last mahjong session with my grandma. *sigh*
I think I'm going to miss mahjong the most.
Sat I still have another one with David and gang.

Anyway, here are some random thoughts:

1) qi li xiang is sooooo nice. I'm addicted.

2) I found a new drink! Snowball! (Thanks to Mira!) It taste sooooo good!!!! And the best part is, I can't taste the eeky bitter taste of the alcohol!!! My brother will love the drink.

3) I need to start packing!!!! Running out of time! I just bought a nice BIG red suitcase to put all my nonsense in!

Lynn: Is there anything else you think we'd need?

Oh yes, and though I don't think Grace would be reading this, Happy Birthday Grace!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY HAN HUI YING!
I LOVE YOU!!!!

Tuesday, August 10, 2004 . 7:26 PM

Leaving in 5 days.
Pretty fast.
But I'm quite forward to it.
Only thing is I think I'm going to miss my parents alot.
Though they nag and sometimes just irritate the hell outta me, still love them alot.

I have SOOOOO many things to bring back.
Starting to doubt I'd have space in my luggage.
I have three pillows and a mattress cover and tt will probably take up a bag?
*bleah*

Yesterday I treated my parents with my first pay check!
For once, I could actually give them back something from my own pocket.

Busy busy day!!!

Sunday, August 08, 2004 . 7:49 AM

Gosh. I'm falling in love with Jay Chow's new album.
So nice.....
The songs are generally nice.
Never regret getting his CDs.
*grin*

Met the guys today.
Shaun, Zhiqiang and David.
I miss hanging out with them so much.
Sometimes I wish I could rewind back into time and instead of wallowing in self pity and hurt, spend more time with those who were there for me all the while and those whom I treasure so much now.
Shaun and Zhiqiang have been there for me through my worst and my best.
Don't know what I'd be without them during JC.
In fact, Marcus also played a big part in pulling me thru it all. =)
Thanks guys.
Love u all!!

Waiting for Dave to come and pick me up.
Think I'm going to his place to watch the guys play Doom3.
Might play myself.
Though I get really stressed up with games like CS.
hahaha.

Marcus: Hey you. glad to see you happier. Or at least you sound happier. hee. =) Let me know when u're free k? I'm free every night except Wed. Take care buddy!

Kenn: welcome home!

Saturday, August 07, 2004 . 12:23 PM

Just got back from a long day out.
Had experience 2004 in the morning.
Pretty expected.
Not many people.
I think VJ is abit out of the way for many.
ohoh!!! I saw Bobby for the first time since last yr!!!!! So cool!


Had mahjong session in the afternoon till now.
And I only won 10 bucks which went to David for dinner.
So technically, mahjong was just to spend some quality time with the guys.
hahaha.
Gonna miss tt.
All the scolding I get when I win big.
hahahahaha.

My back's aching like crazy.
I need to sleep.....

Pass few days haven't really been the best but hopefully things will get better.
Either make it, or break it.
10 days more before I leave.
So many things to do, so little time.
There's always not enough time.
Even when there is, we just waste it away on doing just nothing at all.

I love Jay Chow's new cd!!!
(Though most of his songs sound alike?)

Wednesday, August 04, 2004 . 7:33 PM

Yes. I decided to go back to my old blog.
Somehow, I still prefer this one.
It's so cute and somewhat refreshing.

Yesterday was a pretty good day.
I baked from 2 to 6 and cooked for the hour after.
Tiring.
Jie came over. We baked my 3rd attempt at lemon squares.
Unfortunately, it was slightly undercooked.
But much better than my first two inedible attempts.
So, we decided to bake some chewy chocolate cookies with reeses peanut butter chips!

Pre-baking look. (Looks like shit......hahaha..but good stuff there!)
Though I'm not too much of a chocolate fan, i still think it was pretty alright. hee.
After that, I decided to venture out on my own for my 4th attempt at the lemon squares.
While Jie was on the com, I baked the 4th one and tadaaaaa!!!!

My perfect lemon squares! (well, almost....?)

After that, my mum taught me how to make fried hokkien mee. Was pretty good except the fact that I burnt my garlic.....

David came over for dinner.
Overall, it was a pretty successful baking/cooking day!
Yay!
After all the eating, I went to Dave's place to hang out till 11.30.
Basically, all we did was watch TV and eat more.
Haha. If I don't put on weight, there's seriously something wrong.

Ok...enough about my "domestication". haha.
Just read wat Amy wrote on her blog.
"boys are like...PARKING SPOTS...all the good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped"
Haha. so hilarious.
But it's somewhat true....
Though I think people also tend to take in the handicapped as well.


Thanks jie! Heee...Shhhh about my booboos!!! *hugz*

New photos uploaded!

Tuesday, August 03, 2004 . 11:50 PM

Ugh.
I have to change my class schedule again.
Everytime I change I have to pay like $6.
This is my third time.
*bleah*
Keep changing my classes!!!
What a headache.
Totally unlike JC where everything's just done for u.
Heehee.
Out of 5, I have 3 classes on waitlist.
Hope I get it. If not I'm in big trouble.

Waiting for Jie....*yawn*

Monday, August 02, 2004 . 10:30 PM

I feel ashamed of myself.
After looking at the Hongkies blogs, I realised my standard of chinese is an embarrassment.
I can't believe I'm chinese.
I can't even write a simple sentence properly.
I really think it's time I started improving my chinese so that I don't lose my roots.
It's pretty bad if I'm a chinese who can't speak nor understand chinese.
I haven't really seen an indian who can't speak hindu or a malay who can't speak malay.
But there's a huge no. of chinese who can't speak chinese.
Pretty sad huh.
Finally I understand why chinese was always compulsory......
Why do I have to realise this NOW?!!! and not like one year ago!!! *bleah*

Just got back from RJC.
So happy I got to meet Valee and DG.
Seriously, seeing them really made me miss my good old bowling days with them.
I realised how much I miss those school days which revolved solely around studies and bowling.
Now I feel as if i've moved on to a totally different chapter in my life.
Kinda sad cos' I think I still preferred the old chapter.
The new one has new experiences with it that makes it exciting but the true joy of friendship and bowling is not there no more.
Now, the fun has changed.
I'm into the real world with the "trust no one" theme.
Nothing will ever be the same as those teenage school days.
I miss my life.

Exactly two weeks more before I say "byebye" to my home.
Gosh...time flies.

This week is more or less cooking week.
Will be cooking dinner for my family.
Pre-runs before I go back.
I'm just counting down to Baking Day!
Can't wait!

Sunday, August 01, 2004 . 7:47 AM

Just got home from dinner.
So full!!
Today was a much better day.
I feel as if the clouds just dispersed.

Anyway, I had good news today!
I'm so excited!!!!
So happy!!!!
I can't wait!!!!
Heehee...

2 weeks left.
Time flies.
I'm having really conflicting feelings about going back to US.
Part of me is looking forward to it, but part of me has become so used to life here again, I'm scared to have to re-adjust again.
I'm really screwed up man.
Haha.
