doesn't the cake look great?
choir airpot shots!
Hey hey, been a while since I was last posted yea? And mel mel has been nagging at me for ages to update! Haha!
Blocks I just next week and I’m so screwed! Like totally! I’m really afraid that I won’t do well and stuff. And I feel this immense amount of pressure on me, to prove that I can do well and to justify my nagging at my juniors haha and to show that I really want in into uni. But uni applications getting tougher and tougher, it’s hard to go somewhere. And with the thought of ending up no where being a possibility, that completely punches you in the stomach.
Talking about uni applications I feel that it’s seriously unjust. I mean reading about poly students going uni like erm ok. I mean no offence to poly goers cause I have friends in poly and I love them to bits, but I mean there’s a reason why we chose jc and you didn’t. We chose jc to go to uni. You guys chose poly to get a diploma. And now you guys want to enter uni too and leave us a level takers hanging. I don’t really like that idea. Is like hello! Are you trying to say that a level takers are not supposed to go uni that sorta thing. You can argue that it is a free society that sorta thing, but I mean isn’t obvious that jc people go to jc to get an a level cert to gain entry to uni? What else is an a level cert for? Decoration? Hah I think not. Without a uni degree, we are nothing. So I think some degree of credit should be given to us and explanation on why people with good grades are still not given a place in uni. I’m not even going to pick about whether you get what you want cause that’s all subjective but I’m talking about a seat, a place in university which I know I have friends who did relatively ok are not granted. I really don’t like it. And I mean I never really like the education system in terms of everything. Like how we were constantly labelled and stuff. But such is the way of life, yes?
And I sorta gave up on NUS too, not because of my brother for those of you who know, but rather the whole bloody number 1 university in Singapore. Cause yea, shall not delve into details here but let’s just put it this way, if so many of the students with damn good grades and I mean hcjc rj that kind of caliber giving up on them and going to other uni it sorta means something. So go figure.
Anyway I had a great fathers’ day dinner with my maternal side last Sunday. We went to this tiny restaurant off yio chu kang road and it was a blast! The food was amazing and my cousins and I just laughed our heads off. I was telling cleon that next time our family goes out to eat; we seriously need a private room. Haha! Cause we were making so much noise and my cousins are so young! Like when we had the Chinese new year dinner at mandarin hotel this year, we had our private room and it was a total blast! We had so much freedom to do tons of crazy stuff. Oh this is so funny. Just was telling linus to keep quiet for a moment while he was talking to the waiter and went shhhhh. So the whole table followed, like going shhhh. And soon the WHOLE restaurant followed! Going shhhhh, and were completely clueless on what was happening. I thought that was rather cute. We headed off to my place where we had brilliant secret recipe cake! Haha yum! =) chocolate indulgence! Amazing! Everyone loved it! It was a blast.
To ye ye, happy fathers day too! =) rest in peace.
Ok this entry is really long but I guess I won’t be back here soon so yea. Just wanted to say that I seriously feel so lucky and blessed that I have a roof over my head. I know that I complain a lot about this and that, but as I was reading the papers and read about homeless kids in china sleeping at train stations, get abducted or lured into some place hoping for a new life only to become slaves, I guess I really felt it. Like how they worry about food and stuff while I worry about trivia matters like not getting the right colour of a necklace haha or my books right, I’m seriously lucky and I guess we all are. So be thankful and I guess next time I see something and I can help, I’ll do it. =)

fun
It’s funny how I used to be a one month one past or few months one post kind of blogger, but the past few weeks I realized I’ve been updating quite a bit. Oh wells, it means that I’ve been really bored! Haha
Today was nice. Met mel in school to study. But we had cheam, sam and steffie joining us that we ended up talking quite a bit! Heh. =P. then had the 29th vs 30th match! So fun! It was actually pouring really badly that I thought that the match was not going to happen but the rain stopped and the sun came out so we could play! Yay! Well done 29th! We won 8-2! =) but I thin the 30th really put in a damn good fight. it was kinda cute that the girls in the 30th decided to sub as they seriously lacked guys. And the girls were really sporty! They ran after the ball like mad and cheam lah! Go bully michelle! how can?! Haha but it was a fun match to watch.
After that I had dinner with chris, cheam, jordon, eric, brandon and weiqi! =) so glad that my parents approved of this! We had yummy yummy thai express! It was just so fun to sit and talk and laugh throughout dinner. The last time I laughed so much was after syf with my crazy choir people! That was insane and amazing! After that we went bowling! Haha so fun right? Just whacking every frame that came our way. jordon and I are a great bowling team! haha we beat chris and eric! Haha but all for fun lah. It was just a great day for me to relax and it just what I needed. Thanks guys! Hope and pray that I can go to sentosa!
Till then, See yaz!
