the one about my surprise birthday present... ok shall blog about xw n lz's SPECIAL birthday present: the hot pink birkenstocks i got xw's friend to order for me online!!

hahaha. all the while i was guessing i had already guessed that it was the birks but xw vehemently denied it so i shrugged it off. until the birks came this week. xw didnt tell me they had already paid for it. only when i went to get them from sharon did she tell me that it was my birthday present from lizhen n xiaowen!! that's so sweeeet of them!! haha~ love u gurLs!! *hugs*

well lately i've been holed up in the hall's reading room trying hard to study. quite a conducive place if i say so myself.

well after the exams we'll go everywhere! beach, shopping, TOWNING & MOVIES!! god i havent been out so long i feel so deprived!!

after the exams ok! i end on 25th nov. u girls?  ¶ 9:51 PM 0 Comments

  the one where i feel accomplished.. just came back from reading room with zoe.

i feel so accomplished!! after days of procrastination i finally managed to finish one chapter of the socio textbook. yayness!! yeah well i know it isnt alot but at least it's a start!!

there's something i've been meaning to blog about but always seem to forget when im blogging.

maybeline told me today that someone thought that we were from acjc. cos apparently we have the english-speaking look. which though doesnt really come as a shock to me still bewilders me.

i speak mandarin at home to my mum. even though my command of english is definately stronger. weird considering she speaks english and better than her mandarin too. i dont know but chinese just comes naturally when i talk to her. to my dad it's english cos he doesnt do mandarin. oh well but my family's dysfunctional so.... :)
it might come as a shock to some but i think i spoke more english than chinese in nanyang. which was supposedly a chinese school. i even took higher chinese.

in pj i went through a sorta identity crisis. the english crowd was too english for me; the chinese crowd, too chinese. i decided to stick it out with whoever i was more comfortable with. and i was at ease with them cos duh i could speak chinese and it's not like their english was way bad. i dont think it matters amongst friends whether or not u're inherently better in chinese or english cos as i've said many times before, it's the company that counts.

when i first came to hall many of the seniors guessed that i was taking comm studies. cos i supposedly look like i was the english-speaking sort. alot of them thought i couldnt speak chinese. yea i know my chinese aint all that strong and it's gotten worse with the lack of use but STILL. i never thought of myself as having an 'english' look whatsoever.

but i take it as a compliment that i dress well. :)))  ¶ 2:15 AM 0 Comments

  the one about my situation... and so now it's mugging time.

i really shouldnt be typing cos my nails arent dry but...oh well.

i wanna mug tomorrow.

really been trying v hard to study. at least i think so...

life's stressful but in comparison i realise that at least all i have are readings to do and not really alot to memorise so im thankful.

i've decided to exercise the s/u option for word and image. haha. yep. that's a godsend..

so btw the party on friday sucked. it was simply a case of having the wrong crowd so everything was...weird.. yucks. *shudders* i dont it to ever happen again. next time it'll really be a select few..

talked to zoe all night on thurs all the way until 8 on friday morning. weiling knocked out at about 3+ or 4+, weihong and longteng left around 530..me n zoe soldiered on all the way until the next morning. seriously the morning view was beautiful. it looked just like a resort from our floor...haha

i dont know how we managed to talk so much...weiling was quite shocked when she opened the door and found me and zoe sitting on the plastic chairs on either side of the door...haha..

but that shall be the last time before exams.

and now weiling's got more options!! hee...  ¶ 3:20 AM 0 Comments

  the one about my week... oh wow! realised i havent blogged for almost a week!

perhaps cos my days are pretty filled now, what with my room becoming an entertainment centre for zoe n tiff and with weiling always in the room now...

hmm..skipped a lecture and a tutorial today. didnt intend for it to happen; well actually i had already planned on skipping today's lecture cos i thought it was kkw lecturing. turns out it's lim chee han and apparently it was quite interesting. oh well *shrugs* missed shirley's tutorial cos i had to rush back to get my hs102 journal cos i forgot to print it out. how smart of me.

someone in my school is getting on my nerves. i think maybeline feels the same way but we're just too nice to say it out loud so we're pretty much skirting round the issue...yar..

and i dont know how but rachel lim from nygh apparently told her friend that i play badm and suddenly im asked to play for hss. thing is it falls on choir camp week. but the great thing is that there's no trainings; all i have to do is turn up and play. and i get 8 points. for ih i train every week and i also get 8 points. hmm.

had my driving yesterday! apart from the fact that my car kept stalling, everything went fine. having driving again tomorrow. and training. and our singles' club party!

kaijian's forcing me to go ac. i dont want!! and it's to the extent that before he left he told me 'training on friday. bring $85 by 21st oct for ac' ?! seriously the money in my hands could be put to much better use :) plus training's on friday. yar i know im staying on friday but that's cos i wanna study, not freaking train!!

and to save weiling's singles' club from being disbanded, zoe, tiff and i decided to join her club. haha. so we're having a party as a smokescreen for weiling to *AHEM AHEM*

dinnered at billy bombers' at jp with tiff and zoe. the food there wasnt good. probbably wont be going there again anytime soon..

and seriously, whenever i wanna get down to studying, ppl start flooding my room. it's not like i dont like them or anything but i cant possibly continue studying when there're ppl in my room can i..??

am i being selfish...??  ¶ 10:45 PM 0 Comments

  the one about my great week!!! past few days have been pretty fun!! this week totally rox man..

had another talkfest with zoe n tiff e other day all the way until 3am. no wonder zoe was falling asleep on my bed..haha.. that was tues nite i think..

woke up on weds feeling reluctant to go to school. at first it was cos i thought it was kwok kian woon's lecture which is totally boring. i stayed in bed staring at the clock. thn i decided to go for lecture. by the time i was in the toilet i was having 2nd thoughts. so i stood in front of the mirror and pondered. and finally decided that i shld just go since i was already in the toilet. so i came back and found a msg frm maybeline saying that she wasnt going for lecture. and that was it!! so i took out my contacts and continued sleeping until it was time to go for driving..

oh i drove on the road for the very 1st time!! god it was so nervewrecking!! i had to go up to 50km/hr on the main road!! and what's new once again i slapped the fat instructor's thigh. haha. but seriously it was a diff car and the gearstick was rather stiff. plus i was already so flustered to be on the road. and i was like "sorry sory!" and he didnt say anything, just looked out of the window. but later what i was driving i saw him rubbing the spot where i had hit him; suffering in silence. i think i've been blacklisted as the girl who cannot drive and abuses the instructors. he kept saying i had done a gd job but in the end he only gave me 1 chop. eek. horrible man.

met zoe n dawn for dinner at jp. it was fun!! both of them kept complaining to me which basically just saw 3 of us in hysterics all the time. haha.

finally mustered the courage to ask kaijian whether there was to be training on thurs. thank goodness i asked cos he said there wasnt cos he couldnt get courts and was thinking of holding it on friday. and i told him i wanted to go home on friday (yays!!) and he was even like "i try to end by 10pm can u make it?" errbs like NO i dont haf lessons on fri so im going back early! so he said i could go back.

and then this morning got a msg at the bustop. thought it was maybeline. it wasnt. it was kaijian saying that he's cancelling training but if we wanted to play we could play at 9pm at the hall canteen. how was i to say i didnt wanna go..?? anyway it was only playing so i decided that it would be alrite..haha

but boy was i wrong. his training was like "ok u pair with XXX u pair with YYY play doubles". straight after tt "ok u two play singles" after that we changed partners and played doubles again. then singles again. until i told him i was too tired to play :P and he started asking whether i had skipped dinner and tt i should eat supper to 'pamper myself' cos i was too skinny. like okok i get the idea dont have to say it all the time..and i was asking him whether there was training tmr cos I WANNA SKIP TRAINING!! and he was like "no training la..u cannot make it mah. u r our KEY PLAYER u cannot make it so i cancelled lor" haha.. woah! when did tt happen?! so now u know the hall standard of badminton huh..

and thn cos it was rather weird to sit there without talking so me being me being stupid actually went to ask him when annual camp was, thinking that i could skip training for tt period of time. but nooo he started asking whether i was going for ac, which i'm not, and started saying that it was COMPULSORY for the whole badminton team to go for *get this* TEAM BONDING. hai..it's weird he's got this mentality that just because u're in the same IH u must be great friends with each other. and he started talking about AC and kept forcing me to go until i escaped to amanda's corner where i realised that *gasp* she's from st margs and is neighbours with geraldine!! oh wow the world is really small..

and me being me being absentminded actually came up to my room without my keys. so i had to go down again where amanda was sitting there going "u forgot ur keys rite.." haha i knew something was missing when i left but i just couldnt figure out what. haha.

and tonight was such a strange night!! i was in my room after training when i heard 'jean!! jean' and a flustered kaijian appeared at my door. 'ni you mei you na wo de yao shi?! (did u take my keys)' like..errbs??? just because i forgot my keys just now doesnt mean i took ur keys!! and i searched just in case but no i really didnt take it. minutes after that zhiwei appeared to return me the instant noodles cos he had eaten one of mine a few weeks ago. haha..first time i've seen people returning instant noodles. plus it was of the same flavour n same brand..haha..

and what is with ppl shouting my name along the corridor?! just now jiefeng came to pass me the photos and he was also like 'jean! jean!' until he found my room.

well today was fun!! and it's gonna be so much better tmr cos it's an offday and im going to suntec w xw where bodyshop is having a sale of up to 70% off!! i wanna go la senza too cos my bras seem to be disappearing..haha no they're not stolen..i think i just havent been doing my laundry too frequently..=P
