hello i'm waiting for my hair to dry.. and actually waiting to harvest my crop at farmville. HAHA.
so yeah the 3 days ended! my muscles feel like it's tearing, joints feel like it's breaking, for both hands and legs. stand and walk the whole day, with a bunch of huge paper bags and brochures through the large crowd. occasionally being ambushed by kiasuism - the free paper bags. -.- facing some gl mr SGs - first 2 days lah last day was okay already (don't think many will get this :P) and some gl visitors. i managed to convince myself that my mood affects what i think of people's behavior. and there is this psychological game you can play around with, like trying to think that they are thinking this way instead of that way. ha, if you get what i'm saying..
hahah i'm too tired to think of what other body part is not feeling right already.. quote my facebook status: i just found 2 papercuts on my hand, my finger bled, had an arm cut and have almost disabled hands and legs. actually i'm also quite used to getting bruises and all from being a percussionist. just that the muscles don't ache so much from excessive carrying.
OKAY NOW THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT WORKING :D overall, it was an enjoyable experience. got to meet many different types of people, people working there and the people we talk to when we distribute our stuff. [we liked visiting the japan booth to distribute our stuff cos we're somehow related! plus the people there were nice, mostly japanese lol] we managed to get some free gifts while doing our jobs. hehheh. many japan brochures (HAHA), pens, hk disneyland postcards!! and more.. shiawase people :D i enjoyed talking to people at his too. there were 2 japanese who helped out in distributing brochures and they're interesting people. haha. aiyah everyone's interesting in a way. (:
so yup, although tiring but got to learn new things and gain more experience. (: oh ya, we kept seeing japan here japan there but we can't go. HAHA WL so tempting. nvm we shall see if we even go malaysia first. lol.
okay go harvest my crop and go sleep already. wake up chiong 1 litre of tears! i wanted to watch 1 episode but i found myself falling asleep.. byee.
my bed is calling out for me. i was still thinking last night that i should exercise my legs soon instead of sitting in front of the computer whole day after watching 1 litre of tears. to make better use of my legs cos they're getting stiff. and today i exercised it for more than 12 hours. HAHA. i think i walked a total of more than 10km around the 2 expo halls. o.O
anyway if anyone seeing this is going to natas travel fair this weekend, can drop by h.i.s to take a look (or get free popcorn) :D val and i were like, ooh 4d2n nagoya! hahaha. that one can be fulfilled within 2 years leh, no need 5 years. xD there're other countries too!
kk go bathe, wait for hair to dry, sleep. no 1 litre of tears until monday. ): i watched until damn shuang last night but couldn't continue cos had to sleep, got work! a plus with the super good weather, i didn't even on the fan and it was cold enough. shall attempt to finish it on monday. prepare more buckets..
byebye till my legs/brain get enough rest after the 3 days.
while packing receipts last night, i found my japan receipts. HAHA. i threw away like 80% of them [singapore ones duh, i'm keeping my japan ones!] cos i was packing half-heartedly. will continue soon. uh ya i bought damn little things.. ): that's why i have so many regrets i wanna go back there to buy more things i missed out!
daiso - 51 items from nagoya and tokyo's. X: adidas bag which weng dewi jiayun and i bought at spaland. nagashima spaland receipt refers to the heat pack i bought HAHA! ramen sugakiya which i found out is a maggie mee brand! LOL so cool ah got shop one, but the ramen was nice! carbon drumsticks which i will never bear to use.. mister donut near meiden! tokyo hotel family mart which i forgot to buy more things back.. all the good food i bought from narita airport - cheese biscuit, royce chocolate!!
HAHAHA i'm so bored that i'm blogging about receipts. -.- shall continue watching my 1 litre of tears after dinner. currently going on to episode 3 and it's like so sad and emo already.. sigh, 人生啊~
i found episode 1's ending quote nice.. 花ならつぼみの私の人生 この青春の始まりを、悔いのないように大切にしたい。 My life is like a flower that hasn’t bloomed yet. From the start of this youth, I want to treasure it and have no regrets.
somehow i guess i did quite a bit of thinking in 2007 after the incidents. and learnt that anything can happen to anyone. so yeah, enjoy life and live life to the fullest! although i'm contradicting myself now by doing nonsense everyday.. well at least there's work for the next 3 days! at natas fair. (: [and no band again on sunday OMG. opportunity cost manszx]
finally. last week's photos! sunday: cheap thrills day, little misses. HAHA.
swsy. kim seng beautiful sunday. astons for lunch/dinner. two consecutive days. ps for movie - where got ghost? the movie is damn damn funny!!! :D
i woke up to this beautiful sky on tuesday :D i love beautiful skies.
yesterday - wednesday. went to siying's house to collect track pants from her mummy. hello/byebye cyrus! :D :D
i shall go clear my receipts in the drawer. it's exploding.. i've been looking through photos from cds the whole day. which made me feel that i've revisited cedar days.. sigh they've become memories. photos are all that's left.
just visited ajba website again to update myself on the partipating bands list from each region. it's still in the process of being updated.. cool. i see some familiar school names like seika girls. and again, i wish i could watch the competition live at least once in my life.. even though the air ticket is gonna cost more than 1k already.. [maybe inflation would have occured by the time i go] HAHAHA.
we shall try to stick to our go-japan-within-5-years plan!! and of course saving up in the meantime, which i'm not doing now. i'm spending away all my pathetic pay trying to survive and shop or choose one. i shall brush up and add more oil for japanese too.. i deproved by almost 20 marks from the previous test! poor time management. i don't even assign time to revise after school started.. shall chiong during this holiday! (:
seriously i should really stop playing facebook everyday and do more effective things. livia: facebook is evil! HAHAHA. i agree but well, daily routine. X: shall print out my to-do list soon so that i can plan my 8 week holiday! anyone with part-time jobs can recommend me also. lol. if not i'm gonna sit at home and facebook whole day.
okay this week is like some track pants week. i'm going to pass track pants again tmr. LOL. goodnight.
boredom lead me to youtube, lead me to memories. AND THIS REMINDED ME. i haven't got ms tan's photos since december!!! [the photos as seen in video 2 and 3] stupid security guard chased us out of school on that fateful day and i didn't manage to gop.. -.-
the farewell video when meiden was leaving singapore. wl so emo... ):
(music-less videos haha)
okay i haven't been able/free to upload photos. and with the stupid layout errors on blogger's create post page, there's no 'upload photos' button to be found! will see when it appears back to normal. meanwhile, i shall go find old old photos and back up the newer ones into cds despite already backing them up in external hard disk. haha kiasu :P
whoo holiday! anyway, just got back home not long ago.. supposed to meet carmen at bishan to get track pants. then if she reached, meet at toa payoh. but the damn bus 8 took 18 minutes to come. [if the examiners counted the scripts faster and dismissed us earlier i could have caught the previous 8 and met her at bishan/toa payoh -.-] i ended up changing to 151 and met her at nus instead. HAHA. bishan and nus is like... north and west. o.O or rather, i was at the east. lol.
and if only i'm not working today, i can join gwee siying and yaju for steamboat dinner! ): haha i ALMOST met siying though. i missed the bus she was on.. let's plan for next week's visiting! lol. yea so from about 12 - 3pm i spent 95% of the time travelling. HAHA. cool, singapore not big mah..
okay lunch then work. tonight - sleep + add on to my to-do list. hahaha. byebye.
today, or rather yesterday. was supposed to reach toa payoh stadium at 8am to go see ole cheerleading and pass track pants. i woke up at 8.20am. \: although i wasn't much of a help, i helped by playing the music and holding things. lol. it's good to relive some memories by watching them you know. (:
i actually got slightly tanner just by being under the sun at 12pm for half an hour or so. my face feels like it's burning. o.O oh yeah i'm quite amused by the juniors. hahaha. "how to spell oleander?" i thought this was funny. HAHA!
my itunes just played one song: 恋爱达人. our favourite during cheer practices then.. with pepsi cola as our favourite game. how i miss those days. the days under the sun and rain, in school and at stadiums. kiat and i were like. missing lifting people? haha. but we're all rusty now, flyers will just fall to their deaths (if they can even get up first). \:
ahh sheesh. BACK TO STUDYING LAH. HAVEN'T STUDY FINISH REMINISCE WHAT SHIT MAN. okay i just woke myself up from all the reminiscing. reminisce another day if i still have the feel. hahahah wth.
ole ole ole. too bad i can't go back and watch sports day.. missed all the cheerings and madness we had then.
i shall go touch accounting for awhile before going to sleep. how nice, sleep with a brain full of numbers. hope that i dream of me banishing trial balance or whatever that sucks from the world. i'm taking too long to study the topic international management itself for pom. SKIP, continue when i wake up.
and i have to miss swsy later to study! ): i will never choose studying over band please. but... i'm a student, not a professional. omg my band life is getting more and more and more DEPRIVED. once a fortnight?! sigh but it's okay, it's gonna get better soon..
the rain has stopped. i missed the peak weather to sleep in. -.- but this is just making up for sleeping for the whole afternoon and not studying a thing. X: byebye it's going to be 4am.
i was entertained by the econs past year paper mcq question.
Q: Generally, clerks earn lower wages than lawyers because a) ... b) ... c) ... d) ... e) lawyers are able to sue companies when they are underpaid HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WTF?!
after calculating the % for accouting, it seems like i failed class participation more than i failed the class test. wtf. -.- cos adding up the 2 test marks i seem to have passed. unless i remember the wrong marks?
i'd better save myself next tuesday. 60%. ahleelu! may the power of mrs chiaw be with me. OMGOMG it's been almost 3 years since we last heard the authentic ahleelu! and she left cedar already.. sigh where have most of the teachers gone?! ):
ANYWAY, i have no mood to study this week. productivity and efficiency of studying is low low low. but after this week is over, there's only 2 more days to study. -.- screwed up. i'd better don't screw up anymore of my education life.
back to studying econs. left with monopoly and externalities. THEN POM. WTF I HAVEN'T STARTED. somehow the studying period always get me slightly more emo. it's either i am so free that my mind wander to the wrong things to think about. or that i usually have no confidence in studying. or both.
yesterday, i wondered. what have i learnt in my secondary school education? i can't do factorisation. again, it's either i chose to forget everything after o levels or i'd been smoking through my exams. i choose to believe it's the latter one.
WAH DIE STOP EMO-ING AND GO STUDY. sorry for the rants. bye.
tmd i still can't wake up in the morning for nuts. my waking up time is forever in the afternoon no matter what time i sleep. -.- I SHALL CHIONG OVERNIGHT STUDYING LATER THEN SINCE EVERYTHING DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK. i've been doing overnight since o levels. BUT, maybe it's not working cos i've been failing. hahahaha.
byeee till tonight i'm back.
till then; 3:17 PM
i just went on a japan-band-websites spree. oh fuck, THE BIGGEST DISTRACTION EVER. i visited the all japan band association and tokyo kosei website.
ajba website: i understood more about ajbc. i didn't know meiden got silver from 2005 - 2007 in ajbc. but it's okay, they're still my idols and i still love them! they got gold for marching though. (: i wiki-ed too. there're like thousands of high school bands participating and hundreds from each region and over 10000 bands from the whole country... they have alot of community bands too huh? thousand over partipates in abjc. lol. the number of bands added up in singapore also lesser than the total bands taking part in a region in japan. -.-
tokyo kosei players site: superduper hip, the players have blogs! HAHA but it's all in japanese duh. wait till i can understand more things other than photos...
argh why did i have to come across the websites this week? i should lock google or something until next tuesday. eh wait, locking the whole laptop is even better.. and it's damn late now i'm not studying or sleeping. wtf.
okay goodnight i'm going to sleeeeep and study tmr morning! 忍忍忍。1 more week to go!
so cute hor! it's such a great companion for lectures :D
today in school after lesson. fake handstand...
versus REAL handstand.
his famous pose for taking photos.
went home for lunch after that. left house for cedar to pass queenie track pants for cheerleading. headed for clementi after that to meet choy and siying to visit yaju! bought bubble tea YAY. saviour of the freaking hot weather! :D then we got lost finding the right bus stop to meet yaju in nus...
had fun watching the meiden dvd from my laptop. HAHA absolute addiction! (at least for me) that siying anyhow shout fufu in the middle of nowhere when he haven't even entered meiden at the time of the concert. hahahaha. then gossip gossip.. the 2 of them left.
passing by temasek hall on the shuttle bus, we got reminded of yinyue. then i called her and WOW SO QIAO she said she was standing at the bus stop with 2 japanese but we were too busy focusing on the hall instead of the bus stop in front of us. hahaha. in the end met her near fass canteen and i managed to talk to the 2 japanese. i spoke 3 super noob sentences to them. i almost forgot how to introduce myself. HAHA PANIC-ATTACK, ORAL HOW SIA. at least we met somebody on my nus 1 day tour. lol. oh ya, yaju's good neighbour gwee siying went home! no fate to meet her! if not they stay at the same blk same floor like doors away...
ate at munchie monkey. (is that the name?) whoo nice ambience, nice food.
italian soda! i'm starting to wonder why pastamania's one is sooo overpriced.
lasagne. i have a confession to make: i've never ordered lasagne before. HAHAHA. the only time i came close to it was when baoyue came to my house to practise preparing her lasagne for f&n practical! (:
we got tempted by the brownie.... but couldn't finish it in the end, wasted. stupid stomachache, if not i could've spent another 15 minutes trying to finish it.
prince george residence. look like condo! HAHA.
wahaha we should have more visiting trips. and to ntu too. it's quite fun actually, like another form of meeting-up. lol :D
and to end this post in a sadistic twist.. no more fun for another 1 week plus. STUDY!!! main exams are like in a week's time and i haven't started studying other than 1 pathetic topic on introduction to accounting. -.- tmdwbd accounting sucks, confirm plus chop pull my gpa down! oh, damn econs project pulled my econs grade down too..... zzz. chiong main exams ah!
my hair is almost dried, can sleep already! :D goodnight.
school was fun today :D rehearsed in the morning for commskills presentation. lunched at kfc and saw lee teng preparing to film outside at the kopitiam. back to school for walk-for-rice. do good deeds! and after-meal exercise and reduce karma. hahaha. but the best is still the walking for rice part. heh. (:
photo credit: krystal.
1 person 10 bowls of rice, 5 person 50 bowls! :D
after pom tutorial was commskills presentation. we had 1 hour to prepare so we rehearsed again. the q&a sucked!

and finally, here's a preview to winghong's bei bao singing. HAHA! if you find it funny you may find more videos on facebook. X:
i shall go and practice my strokes! [tmr then study lah i off day 1 day first; and i slept for 3 hours after i reached home] omggg my band-days are now reduced to ONCE PER WEEK! so freaking little i need my life back! ):
here's a belated ndp special. sorry i was busy highing last night for a few hours. HAHAHA. saki replied my email and sent me 2 very nice photos! meiden had band competition yesterday and they got top! :D i'm a big fan of them. hoho (:
anyway back to belated ndp special, i shall reminisce with ancient photos. 6 years ago in 2003, cedar's welcome dance at the national day parade. it was a great experience when we started off with practices in school and then off to the stadium for rehearsals, no matter rain or shine. and getting sick of free kfc then... well i would say it was a superb bonding session for cedarians :D and discovering that i have no dance talent. HAHA.
so after half a year or so's practices, it was finally showtime. presenting the young and innocent us with faces coloured to protect our past. hahaha.
and here's the song to enhance the reminiscing mood: the 2003 ndp song. whenever i hear this song, it would remind me of the finale item when we would sing until we had no voice. and watching stefanie sun from our spot.. ah, so 怀念..
with mr peter gn the head dance instructor, whom i surprisingly saw at band fiesta 3 weeks ago helping out!
i miss running on the field and screaming our lungs out.. ):
this was the final formation, wonder why my parents didn't take previous formations! **time to dig for the 2003 ndp vcd soon**
exclusive photo with faces shown since they're not that clear. HAHA. finale item partners! we always got super high and sang national day songs on the fieldt tgt. oh i remember the instructor was the one who stood beside me for the whole practice asking me to use more strength to dance. LOL.
lastly, the best memory to be kept forever. our dear fan who accompanied us through this journey and added colours to the performance. [ohhh we used a 20%-of-the-actual-size fan at the start cos we were still noobs. i remember pasting scotchtape all over the fan cos it always tear and we can use as mini umbrella when it rains HAHAHA] i think i still have the costume too? the gim gim kimono. lol.
dear friends and instructors' signatures. I'M GOING TO KEEP THIS FOR MY WHOLE LIFE. (: (:
wowow. what's with the reminiscing. anyway yesterday's parade was quite nice :D i love singapore~
today's karaoke session was funny. hahaha. winghong: 你的.. @!#$%^&* 背包~ when he tries to pitch his neck and body will stretch towards the sky. LOL.
okay shall continue preparing for commskills presentation tmr. i read my script to myself thrice just now and almost fell asleep. zz FINAL PRESENTATION for this semester! chiong ah! finish already go chiong notes ah! -.-
hello emo kid at tampines library now. siying and val went offfff... hahaha. i'm waiting to go back to school in half an hour's time. i just took half an hour to reset my wireless@sg password. thanks to my ipod touch which auto logs in to wireless@sg. LOL.
AND I NO NEED STUDY COMMSKILLS ALREADY LOR. i intended to study but the darn library has no more tables left and i'm sitting with my laptop on my lap on the bench. super uncomfortable position.. D: all the sadistic people coming to the library on national day celebration to fight for tables with this emo kid here. tsk.
so all i can can do is to attempt editing my script and play facebook. oops. haha but it's okay, i've got meiden concert dvd's companion :D that siying was highing about her fufu. (lol me randomly about koudai) i can't remember how it started... HAHA.
okay better chiong commskills later at night. zz sucks, summative test on national day eve. sadistic school.

ate combo at pasta mania to save space for buffet. went for jap test. WTF, I PASS HAPPY ALREADY. so 難しい (difficult) lah! i'm starting to worry for end of year's jlpt... i took almost the whole hour to finish the paper cos i was stuck at the changing form part. at the last few minutes, val cow and i exchanged the "still wanna do?" face. then cow just threw her paper on the table and we started packing. HAHA. we still took around 1 hour in the end... with val finishing the earliest - 40 minutes?
walked to suntec. siying and choy went to queue and get seats first. kuishinboo buffet~

NO NOT HEALTHY ANYMORE.
1 litre of FATS.
story: i was refilling our green tea with christine when the bell started ringing. the next moment she was gone and flew into 2nd in line. i took one filled cup and one empty cup to join in the queue. HAHAHA. then we realised siying and val flew to the queue too and was behind us. typical singaporeans man. lol.
MORE FATS.
