with the giraffes!!!

wat's wrong with the animals...




it was really intriguing when we see a number of the animals at the point of seeing us coming, they started peeing. We were like in a school trip, managing to get a glimpse of bio life. How the cheetah squirts its pee. And then there was the baboon-like creature mating right in front of us. Then there was the monkey with the big nose, i like this one. When we saw this, it was asleep and it was so cute cos he was like hanging onto a tree branch to hang on while his head was drooping down... (mei suggested, probably his nose was too heavy)

there's more...

the cheetah is marking its teritory (by peeing if u dont know)
cheetah girl: "honey someone's looking at u!!"

cheetah boy trying to scare mei...

the guide doing her job and shows us that we are looking at zebras!!

Zoo!


finally after 9 years in Singapore, i visited sg zoo! hahaha.. took me really long to go there huh! I've been to night safari countless of times! Jurong Birdpark too! but this is the first time that i visited the zoo!

actually it was really unbelievable how we decided to go to the zoo! we woke up this morning not knowing what to do, and we were just like lazing ard. I went to get breakfast then after eating, we were back to lazing ard in the room! we were both still tired and sleepy

Sleepily,

me: What shall we do today?
meiyi: haiz... wanna go zoo? (sounding tired)
me: hmmm good idea... (sleepy mode too)... i go check how much is the price of the ticket from my cousin.

a while later.

meiyi: why dont u go to the net and find?
me: ok.. hey it's only $15. okay mei go bathe hurry up!

so that was how we ended up going to the zoo! while she bathed, i prepared some food cos i bought some meat from the market this morning....

within half hour to 45 mins, we were ready and out of the house on our way to the zoo!

ready to leave the house

N We are here at the Zoo!

Got stranded cos of the rain!

So took sometime to have our lunch!!!

Not forgetting to take pictures of the otters!!

our V day date...

well we've sort of decided what to do... we have decided to go to the zoo for our date!!! so now we are all getting ready!! why zoo!??? dont ask me... ask mei!!! ahahhahaha...

term break

well well, this break is a term break week! time to relax but of course i still hvae to do a bit of revision for my upcoming elective module test next week. I am also trying to finish up next week tutorials and reports so that come next week, i can afford to miss school and accompany my parents since they are here. I am glad this sem is not as hectic as before and that i get to have a lot of free time.

but then currently for the next 3 nites i will be staying in my uncle's house to accompany him since my aunt has to go back to malaysia to take care of her mum who's been hospitalised. so right now in the day i will go back to my own house and go back to eunos after dinner.

tomorrow i will be going back to my old JC with caiying and tze may. Right now im persuading Jane to go with us too! Been sometime since i last went back to my old JC, i heard the Mr Kwek the principal has been reassigned to be the principal of YJC. We are hoping to meet our form teacher and then reminisce about our JC days. Though not many of us are going, i do think it will be quite nostalgic. Walking through the void decks, the different schools in the vicinity of our JC. Then looking at the mini golf course that they've built. The lecture theatres and the sports hall. The gym area. The canteen as well as the classes. I am also hoping to see my Malay teacher there too! She was defintely the nicest teacher around.

JC days, for me, was defintely my best experience of school! Imagine playing truant! well not really in PJ but i was one of the truants students in NYJ!! haha.. still remember the time we go ponning (skipping) lecture and then there was the PE! PE was defintely fun in JC, except for the running part man! then the part where Nata helped me with Malay, then us sitting ard outside LT either copying homework or gossiping abt anything under the sun. Topics from the handsome teachers to the unpopular ones. Then there were the piano in the canteen, where Kaibin would play his rendition of X Japan ballads. Then there were others entertaining us with occasional pop songs. Our class were also pretty fun! there were the class jokers Dixie and Mao Xin. They used to entertain us so much with their jokes and bullying the teachers. There was Mr Lum the physics teacher with his lame jokes. Mr Tham who endured our constant bullying, but he was very funny! I kinda miss hearing him say " You bloooody rascaL!" and he would always call me " Meeerlin!". Those were the days and it felt like yesterday when we were still in school trying to revise or do questions from the TYS ( the infamous ten-year series).

And then we started our mugging sessions in the multi purpose room in the PE block. That's the only room with air con around and im glad they made it into a study corner. Those were the days....

Just came back from a dinner date with Meiyi... had a great time just strolling and talking... well had to confide in her abt sumting... =p and it feels great after talking..

we had dinner at Surf and Turf... this seafood place at Suntec.. The food was fine and place was okay but service was baddd... and no way am i going back there... The place is nice and looks rather professional but their service was definitely not...

After dinner, i wanted to eat ice cream and thought of going to esplanade to go to Hagendaaz but when we reached Marina, i found out that nata was there and furthermore i had to look for a gift for Christine's (DG mate) 21st bday.. She asked us whether we want to join them but then i thot might as well we wait for her at Andersen's and had our ice-cream and chit chat.. But we didnt chitchat.. Instead we were taking lots of pictures of ourselves... I know meiyi is gonna kill me for posting the silly ones but i find that they are really nice...



Silly shot!!! i love this pic...



Mei kept making faces while i still look pretty much the same in that 2 pics



She wanted to try a black n white pic and i think it looks good!



Finally nata came to join us and i realise that the 3 of us look so fair ah!

Me and mei were so bao (full) that we had to ask nata for help to finish the ice-cream!!! n yeah she did finish it! =)

awwww so sweet!!!! The reason why i just love the girls more and more....

Well this is an excerpt to what they talked abt courtesy of Stef's blog!! I was dying in laughter when i read them but i also see how excited and so sweet of them to be feeling more excited than i do abt the date!!! People out there, u shud be jealous of me to hve such sweet and lovable friends like them


Anyways, what I really wanted to blog about was this - I was sms-ing Marlin on Valentines and the last sms she sent me said, "I have a date later...will blog about it tonight!" I was intrigued but got distracted by Meiyi MSNing me. An hour later, I couldn't take it anymore (was she going out on a 'date' with unattached friends or something more...?!) and asked Mei to sms Marlin to dig up dirt on the mystery date.

Meiyi says:marlin replied...ahahaha
Stef says:what what!!!!
Meiyi says:she doesnt want me to let u know
Meiyi says:ahahaha
Stef says:?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Stef says:noooooooooooooooooooo
Stef says:cannot!
Stef says:cannot!
Stef says:CANNOT!
Meiyi says:ahahaha ahahaha
Stef says:so you know? but i dont know?
Stef says:i want to die!!!!!!!!!
Meiyi says:i dont really know lah
Stef says:oh....chey
Stef says:=)
Meiyi says:but confirm it's a guy1
Stef says:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111
Stef says:omg.
Stef says:i stopped breathing for a second there
Stef says:ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Stef says:want to jump around the room and dance...so exciting! ---> i sort of trying to imagine her dancing... all that came in my mind, is an elf dancing abt in a Hrry Potter setting kind of way!
Stef says:wait. i go sms her
Meiyi says:then she said he's very nice, very intelligent, very easy to talk to and understand [seems like a VERY nice guy] she said she'll take pic with him and mms me[CANT WAIT]
Meiyi says:NO
Meiyi says:dont sms her
Stef says:why?
Meiyi says:she say cannot let u know mar...if u sms her then she'll know i told u
Stef says:ooohh....ok, then i'll just email her then she can read after the date.
Stef says:omg....i'm SO thrilled
Meiyi says:she calls him MD
Stef says:MIKE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meiyi says:CANT BE LAH he got gf liao
Stef says:never been so happy for anyone else getting a date before
Meiyi says:only met him this module
Stef says:wah, so happy! hope she has a good night.
Stef says:=D
Stef says:=D
Stef says:=D
Stef says:cannot stop smiling over here....heart going all soft and sappy
Meiyi says:same here
Meiyi says:im asking her whether the guy asked her out
Stef says:must be what...
Stef says:marlin so shy...where got ask guys out one
Meiyi says:can be mutual one mar
Meiyi says:u never know
Meiyi says:ooooooooooo it'll be so good to see her in a relationship
Stef says:if marlin gets a boyfriend, i'll DIE of happiness i tell you [awwwwwwwww]
Meiyi says:ahahaha if she does must give her a huge hug and a kiss [ehmmmm can imagine how happy is that!!!]
Stef says:but i cannot what...you help me lah. jump around her and scream a lot in her face
Stef says:if it goes well...how perfect will it be...near her 21st birthday! =) awwwwwwww
Meiyi says:=] now i cant stop smiling to myself...my friend walking past my table thinks im crazy [poor mei, but hey that was my ultimate motive too... make everyone feel silly and happy for the rest of the day]

As you can see, we were both delirious with happiness. I was literally sitting there with a huge smile and a fuzzy heart! Kicked up a big fuss by sending a mass email to the 3 girls (Marlin included, of course) wishing her well. Sheena read the email shortly after and sent another mass reply. So the 3 of us were gushing incoherently like the silly, melodramatic things we are. Can't help it right? Happy for her what! Like I said to Mei later on, "I really hope she finds someone special. She's so nice to everyone and she deserves to have someone who loves her and only her."

An hour or so later...

Meiyi says:STEF THAT STUPID MARLIN IM GOING TO KILL HER....HER DATE, THAT MD...IS A BLOODY TEXTBOOK [Mechanical Design] -_-
Stef says:OMG.
Stef says:i want to kill her


MARLEEEEEEEEEN! YOU BROKE OUR HEARTS OK! AND YOU ALSO MADE US VERY PAI SEH (embarAssed) OK!


sorry girls.... but im sure u do have a big highlight of the day rather than feeling nothing on vday!!! =) im sure if we were meeting that nite or i were to bluff u guys in the face... all that hugs and kiss would probably be me getting smacked in the head by stef, getting hit by mei and sheena... probably if there were pillows ard, it would have helped... just like in Penang... arhhh brought back so many memories...


sharks 2.15 am and i havent bathe arghhh... just came back from meeting eli and decided to blog abt v day!!! so many happy things... how to sleep!!!! arghhh another sleepless nite!!!!

PS: the Maths test went fine... but MD test is coming up on friday!!! study study!!! thanks for the prayers... it helped.... =)

V-day...

v day had to be my happiest day of the week so far!!! or maybe of the month or so far... and believe it or not girls (mei, sheena and stef) im still smiling and laughing at the thot of it...

well it started with me msging the three of them to say Happy V day and to enjoy their dates... so stef replied that she didnt have any dates so i replied, i do and that i will let her know thru my blog later in the nite... so that was it... until in the afternoon mei got hold of the news..

mei: heard from stef that u got a date later. Who!!!
me: later tell u.. i will blog abt it.. keep u in suspense first..
mei: wah lao what later tell me. We suppose to watch movie today one leh. I said no cause u got test tml. Then now u got date. Tell me now!
me: later.. Can tell u he v nice.. v intelligent.. easy to talk to and easy to understand him.. Later take pic sho u who's my date.. Then mms u lah.. but u cant tell stef k! at least not now..
mei: At least tell me his name. Your classmate? He asked u out? Wahlao u damn bad one leh. Rather go out with guy.
me: (smiling in class, trying not giggle at mei's curiosity. I could alomst imagine her saying all this on the phone or in my face.) I call him md... Only this module lah then i c him..
mei: Must mms me hor or i'll keep bugging u then u cannot date properly! => oh he askd u out is it?
me: actually beginning of sem he got mentioned abt it.. But i think last 2 weeks then he asked.
mei:WAHHHHHHH marlin!!!!! he likes U!!!! oh so happy for U!!!!! MUST MMS Me!!!!!

by this time class was halfway and the tutor kept looking at me, hopefully not thinking that im laughing at him... i kept smiling and then giggling with my fren, Joycelyn..

then i took a picture... with my date... MD!!!! in class... before the start of the class.. but i waited till i ended class before i sent it to her... it was our best picture.. with the happiest smile that i have... so xin fu!!!!






TAADAAAA.... me and my MD... mechanical design, my newfound love... still in the process of dating and getting to know him.. hopefully our relationship lasts till end of this sem... =)


so after i sent this pic.... came this sms from mei...

mei: I WANT TO KILL YOU MARLIN!!!!!!! MAKE US EXCITED FOR U FOR NOTHING
me: hahaha love your reaction there... hahahahha.. nice and convincing right?
mei: I dont want to talk to u liao!!! Cheat our feelings!!
me:( i thot they were really angry.. cos she took a darn long time to reply) So stef knows alrdy ah? u told her?
me: hey dun like that.. Dun be angry.. So i assume stef know liao lar? Next week i make it up to u! definitely enough to make u happy.
mei:Wahahaha i did tell stef, she say want to mail u and scold u but decided not to. But u really got us man. Even sheena also excited.
me:Hahaha! U told every1??? I wantd to blog one leh... Wahlao i tot abt wat to write thruout the whole day leh.. Haiyah.. (time to make it up to them and i mean wat i say!) But nice one hor... =p Anyway as long as any of u still single, my vday will always be for u guys....
mei:Awwwwwwww marlin u're so sweet! Give u a kiss muack!

i was really smiling on the way back.. in the bus, mrt ride.. everyone must be thinking wat's wrong with this silly girl! smiling to herself.. but it was a really really happy day!!! then i got so happy that i wanna make another fren's day! hehehe yeap while in school got her a nice poster to hang on her door... wanted it to be a surprise (well it turned out half a surprise.. the other half of the surprise backfired to me to instead)... had thot that she will be out the whole day and gonna come back late since she was harping on abt v day date with Eli last week. So since i was happy i ended up doing more things. I couldnt find a plague that has wordings like Princess' Room or something like that so decided that im gonna make one myself with my horrible handwriting... was feeling that maybe it wont turn out v bad... but it was bad i think! anyway so i wrote nata_el's room on the cardboard with my crayons using differnet colours.. and then surrounding it were her pictures though not many... pictures of her, her best friends, buddies... and a small v day note from me... guess for a last min surprise it was nice... hehehehe so i was expecting to see her the next day since i didnt want to let her see me that nite and let her feel happy!

so while cooking dinner, or rather wanted to bring my food out of the kitchen, she unlocked her room door and came out just awake from a real long afternoon nap!!! MY JAW DROPPED! I got stunned.. and then she was looking at the stuff with sleepy eyes and i just went, " WHAT IN THE HELL ARE U DOING AT HOME? U are supposed to be out with Eli!" it turned out that Eli were only coming today instead. so she took a nap. and i was amazed cos i made quite a bit of noise trying to stick the stickers and all those stuff and she was all the while in the rooM!?!??! so i was defintely surprised!!!! but happy still... maybe it was still the effect of the big joke... glad that she likes it...

then read the girls email of their conversation over the msn abt the date and abt the truths.. it was real funny.. i also managed to talk to stef for a while.. im dying to read the whole conversation!!! anybody has it!! i wanna keep it!!! hahaha... and man it's a happy day cos me and the girls did sumting together or at least we have a memorable v day.. at least something to talk abt every vday! someting that 4 of us know of...

Been 8 years and man they've been the best so far!! and im glad that we are still the together... Love u guys a great deal u know... Hope we will stay this way until we leave this world...

So when i told her mum is coming, they were like.. aiyah ur family really dont know how to keep secret leh!!! She spilt the beans that she asked my WHOLE family to come over and asked them to keep it a secret so that it will be a surprise..

You Have a Melancholic Temperament



Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.

You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.

You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.

Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times.



At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.

You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.

You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.

so cheap??!?!?!?!

On Average, You Would Sell Out For
$333,707

and so it continues again.....




Your Five Factor Personality Profile



Extroversion:



You have medium extroversion.

You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party.

Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences.

But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your "down time."



Conscientiousness:



You have medium conscientiousness.

You're generally good at balancing work and play.

When you need to buckle down, you can usually get tasks done.

But you've been known to goof off when you know you can get away with it.



Agreeableness:



You have medium agreeableness.

You're generally a friendly and trusting person.

But you also have a healthy dose of cynicism.

You get along well with others, as long as they play fair.



Neuroticism:



You have low neuroticism.

You are very emotionally stable and mentally together.

Only the greatest setbacks upset you, and you bounce back quickly.

Overall, you are typically calm and relaxed - making others feel secure.



Openness to experience:



Your openness to new experiences is medium.

You are generally broad minded when it come to new things.

But if something crosses a moral line, there's no way you'll approve of it.

You are suspicious of anything too wacky, though you do still consider creativity a virtue.

so blissful!

nata's mum, aunt and grandma been here for almost a week now and gotta say that life's been blissfull here... there's home cooked food everyday!!! nice right!!! yeah so good... heheheheh

cant wait for my mum to come and do the same too...

well Margret is here for 2 days.. she cut her hair short involuntarily... the hairdresser was apparently Korean and probably didnt really grasp english that well!! So she ended up with slightly higher than shoulder length hair.... Her Chinese tuition teacher was commenting that it made her look like she came from China... =p

Next week apparently is last week of school before term break!! So fast ah??! and so happens that it's together with Nata this time which is weird since she's always having it 1 week earlier than me. But next week i've got 2 tests!! But only 1 that im most probably having some difficulty.. so gotta study study study...

SO now back to my studies!!! =p...
