Hui:

woo~ jus woke up not long ago. guess wad? ncs had a fire drill yesterday. i find it so amusing, cos everyone was jus strolling and taking their own sweet time. lol.. was msn-ing with ting and mei b4 e drill and was telling them if i stop replying, it means tt e bell has rung. and well, when i was chatting with them halfway thru, there was an announcement saying tt we had to leave by e nearest exit. that announcement was being interrupted thrice! and then e bell rang. everyone was like standing up, seeing if others are moving their asses. and then we stoll out of ncs to Apple which is next to us. reminds me of my pri and sec sch days man. aiya, i'm bad with words la, dunno how to express here. but i really tot i t was amusing. =x

went home after work to get my keys (forgot my to bring my keys again -_-) and met mei for light dinner. caught legend of zorro at marina square with kk. i think its a nice show but he thinks its rather boring. -_- but anyways, took night rider home. wah, 2 first times in a day. first time watching movie in marina square (i dun remember watching any movie with anyone there) and first time taking night rider home. haha..

where are all my friends? i suppose they are out in town? haiz so sian man. dun ask me y nv go out -_- i woke up not long ago nia. hungry already. so eat lunch le.

*edited*
ahhh oh shit. i suddenly remember i did watch a movie in marina square b4! i watched SWAT Team with CH. OMG, haha i really block him out of my memory sia. when eny asked me how many ppl i've liked in my life b4, i forgot all abt him too. *oops*

pf:
since im the minority owner of this blog, don't you think it's suppose to be THREE-thoughts.blogwateva.com instead of TWO??? Im fighting for my rights as an owner!! and wenting, GO STUDY! STOP BLOGGIN!!!! msg to all the pretty chick out there wassup, drop me a line when u r free! hahahaha.

ting:

(to pei fei: you said so yourself.. you are a minority shareholder. hence we can constantly outvote you. and to my fellow readers... please excuse him... he's been studying too much. i thought only singaporean guys were that desperate.)

the world is a sad place to live in. there are so many things which constantly go wrong... we know they might work themselves out someday. but whether the outcome is to our liking is a totally different issue. i understand you might open up to me more right now because i'm on another continent altogether and it doesn't seem so personal. i know your need to blow and just have someone to be there to listen (though i may not know enough to advise). and i promise i'll be here for as long as you need me. i promise. i love you babe and cheer up, because when you've hit rock bottom, the only possible way is up.

today is officially my last day as a melbourne uni year one student. was feeling pretty normal and unaffected till jovan started getting all sentimental, thereby affecting us girls. gosh. how time flies. i wish i could stay a freshman forever. realised that these three years in melbourne will just zap by. it's sad that you can't reach out to catch hold of those moments which really matter, and make them stay with you for the rest of your life.

there have been pretty mixed reactions to my previous blog entry. my dad freaked out totally because he thought i was falling for a gay (where did he get that from?) until the last bit. jo couldn't figure out who/what i was talking about. suba thinks it's the funniest entry i wrote in a long time. wei kee sms-ed me to reprimand me for "misleading" my readers into believing i was deeply in love with someone. well, i admit it was written with the delibrate intention to mislead (i hereby plead guilty). but hey... i couldn't resist having a bit of fun too, especially seeing finance was boring the heck outta me.

my laptop is done with its formatting. yay! gotta head back to law now. i'll see you guys REAL soon. on the 25th of nov. :D to pei and adel: i know you guys miss me like crazy. no worries! i'll be bugging you both before you even know it! and to mel: what kind of a friend are you!??? why didn't you tell us you are attached!??? SHEEZ! oh and before i forget. as of tomorrow, daylight saving starts again. the time difference between singapore and australia will be back to 3 hours. shucks. one hour less sleep? grrrrrrrrr.

*edited*

so i realised being direct isn't a good thing. whyever not? it clears up misunderstandings and help me get to know what i want to know. besides, i'm lazy to beat around the bush. and being forthright is a plus point, is it not? tell me what you think... leave a message in the tagboard and tell me if being direct is good, or bad.

Hui:

so ting finally got my card. thank god. i tot it's lost in space or i've gotten e wrong address. it suddenly occured to me that i din write her name on it. *oops* but hey ting, u received it anyway right? =D

quite a lot of things to update.. let's start with e not-so-nice incident first.

i hate and despise ppl who try to gain sympathy. esp to gain sympathy from ppl who are very close to me. i dunno if u read my blog. but if u do, and u think i'm toking abt u. then yes, i'm toking abt u. y? becos u own a guilty conscience and think tt i might be referring to u in this post isn't it? i dunno wad's wrong with u (or me) but i really dunno wad are u trying to do. ur actions, ur words. wad are u trying to prove? wad do u want? maybe u really dun mean anything. but really, if u din do so much things, i might still be able to be on friendly terms with u.

on a lighter note, i'm starting to miss ncs already. i will miss getting up at 8+pm and reaching b4 9.30am =x. yes la, i reach so late de lor. but i got try to pay back e hours. i will miss taking bus 268 and miss walking that stretch of path. i will miss going to that bus stop along yck road during lunch time. i will miss my lunch kahkis + all e nice ppl there! i will miss e working environment and keep getting dc from msn. i will miss doing crystal report and being stuck on it. miss hearing "i can't access this". miss e photocopy machine there. miss filling up timesheet. maybe i will even miss the irritating noisy T6. cos on hindsight, i feel tt its quite amusing that he would irritate me w/o he himself knowing it. miss everything la, both e good and e bad. okay, i take back my words. maybe not e bad. haha.. haiz, i spent so much time settling down and opening up and now i gtg liao. wah lao, i noe wad's on u all de mind. wan to say i slow right.. took 6 months to open up. haha.. they mus tok to me more mah, i dun open up to ppl easily de. unless we can really click. *oops* not saying tt i dun click with them, but erm, need more interaction lar. anyway no choice, i'm a bad conductor of heat. definietely a lousy ice-breaker. but hey, bad conductor of heat makes good friends k.. cos they can really keep things warm! i'm shy gal k..

i'll be going somewhere else soon.. as in working place la. not tt i'll be leaving planet earth. shall not reveal e company here. e place is at raffles city tower though. if u wanna noe wad's e company come ask me bah. my lunch kahkis and incharge noe where i'm going le. i'm worried.. afraid that i do not have e ability to fufill the contract. i hope there are nice ppl in my new working place!

met up with huijie again jus now. she wan to physco me into some business thingie! i'm curious on e part on how is she going to earn money but i will not join lor. but ok la, she's a nice person. she's one of e few ppl i can easily tok to in my class for e last semester. and i feel tt i can actually tok to her more after we both have graduated. its always e case lor. towards zhen xian also like tt.

woohoo, so late liao. and its friday already! =D bed time~!

pf: YAY!! my 1st entry...wadddduppppp guys!!! btw wt,u shudnt b blogging!! go study!!!!

ting:

(the message up there is courtesy of pei fei, who very kindly reminded me of my priorities. which i promise i'll get back to. but first.)

i know it's been tough. i know neither of us had a very good first impression of each other. i know we disliked each other at first sight. i know it was mostly my fault. but i'm trying to rectify it. i really am.

i know i hurt your feelings when i said you would be the last one i choose. i know i said a lot of bad things about you... a lot of things which undermined you and eroded your self-confidence. it must have hurt when i turned my nose up at you, scoffed at you, barely threw a glance in your direction when you were there. i also know a lot of people (namely, many of my other friends) who took time to get to know you personally. and i know of some who even got to like you.

i'm trying to change. it was my fault for jumping to conclusions and labelling you before i even got to know you. it wasn't fair. i'm not saying that with time, we would like each other. to ask of that would be an impossibility. all i'm asking for at this point in time is (PEI FEI GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE MORE YEAR FOR YOU TO EAT PORK. GO AWAY!!!! STOP READING!!!! i apologise for the rude interruption. *ahem* *glares*) that both of us give each other a chance. please allow me the opportunity to get you know you a little bit more. all i'm asking is that you'd let me have a peek at what's inside you. please open up a little more. help me understand you. please. it's killing me, all these uncertainty. all these not knowing, not understanding, all these frustration. i'm willing to sit in the library the way i'm doing now, till 3am every single night. if only you'd promise me this.

they say the only thing which has the ability to make you laugh also has the ability to make you cry. for you, only the latter is true. you wouldn't make me laugh. not in a million years. you give me the worst headache i've ever experienced in ages. you cause my mood to spiral down ten floors below basement level. you make me crave chocolate and more chocolate, in futile hopes that it would cheer me up a little.

but i'm still trying aren't i? what must i do to allow a change of opinion? if only i could get you to like me. if only i could understand you a little more. just a little bit more in detail.

we don't have much time left together. one whole sem gone to waste, because we couldn't learn to appreciate each other. 20 more days left in the company of each other. why not make the best of it? why not part on good terms, the way i part with many others? so neither of us may leave the best memories. but at least we can try. and make it work.

i'll get back to you now. and pray that God would help us both. help me understand you. help me try. help me remain determined and not give up. help me not burst into floods of tears, the way i want to do now. help me like you.

to my least favourite subject on this earth. finance. you're the bane of my life. but i'm trying. so i pray you wouldn't give up too.

Hui:

have never watched so many movies in a week in e cinema in my life (by far) b4. 3 movies in 3 consecutive days. deuce bigalow on friday, flightplan yesterday and transporter 2 today. i like them all! my next target would be Chicken Little. gonna bring my sis go watch. think she'll like that show. i haven bring her out to have fun for quite sometime already. e last time i brought her out was to watch Shark Tale lor. bloody long right? anyone wanna join my sister and me? u're welcome to. =) oh yes, i wanna watch The Legend of Zorro too.

haiz, when i think of my angel pendant i very sad.. e necklace broke! it didn't give me any warning that its abt to give way. it got entangled with e threads on my towel and when i gave it a slight jerk, it broke! my neck din hurt at all. i'm so bloody shocked! is this a sign of something? i once told mei that i would never get it off my neck cos i really like it a lot. (or maybe its becos its from someone) but i think its becos i like it a lot la. haha.. i went out without it today and i feel so out of place. i'm not exaggerating la.. i really really like that necklace a lot. told mei that i have never liked an accessory so much b4. haha.. sounds kinda lame hor? but heng e pendant is still intact! i can jus get a necklace and wear it again! woohoo~ but if e pendant is missing, i will cry man.

i hate my hair now. cant wait to do something to it. wanna give it a trim but thinking of either rebond or perm. so i might as well do all at once. but i wan to dye my hair too! and i have to decide whether i wanna rebond/perm my hair or not cos if i want, i have to do either of that first then can dye. wah lao, so fan leh. who ask me so vain.. i dunno i can tahan my hair until when. i'm tying it up almost everyday.

wah, later got interview. scared sia. wish me luck!

ting:

to hui: what did you send? i didn't receive anything, be it snail mail or email. sorry for my "disappearance", my laptop is a little screwed up, i can't access the internet back at my place. hence can only come online when i'm at a friend's place(like now). i'm doing ok (ok is the best you can possibly be doing when it comes to exams). i'll be flying back to singapore on the 25th of nov. so i'll see you then!

to vin: oy... who abandoned who? who was the one who REFUSED to answer jo ann and jovan's calls this morning? so much for wanting to go play tennis with us. heh. but your racket certainly came in useful... thanks loads! and was that a FINANCE quote on your blog? good heavens girl. ira and jo want me to tell you it doesn't make much sense because how can money disappear? and according to economists, it will multiply via the multiplier effect!

to adel and pei: hey you both, hang in there yeah? if you need anymore morbid ideas, come look for me! morbid ideas are piling up in my head now.. what with exams looming and all.

to all LOST fans: season two is out!!! damn... i'll never get any studying done at this rate. the only reason i woke up this morning was cos pei fei started playing episode one. arghhhh i wanna watch!!!

Hui:

woah. it has been so long since my last post.

came home at 4am this morning.. went ktv pub with my colleagues after e movie night at suntec. well, they have this movie promotion thingie by ncs and u get to buy a pair of tickets for only $6. in addition to that, u get a pair of $5 voucher to redeem popcorns, hotdogs etc. sounds good ya? u pay $3 per ticket and they give u a $5 voucher. so its like they are paying u $2 to watch e movie. oh, FIY, i watched Deuce Bigalow. heard from my colleagues that Flight Plan is nice. i gonna watch that soon man.

wah i sang in e pub yesterday.. with so many ppl and strangers around! shy sia. one of them was jio-ing me to sing and was urged by quite a lot of ppl. i was very scared. my hand was trembling when i was holding the mic. so i had to hold e mic with both hands so that no one would notice that i was shivering. and i was so nervous i kinda kept singing e wrong lyrics (partly of e teasing also). when it was near closing time for e pub i sang my one of my favourite songs, Xiang De Tai Yuan by Joey Yung. it's a cantonese song. and this time round i think i sang slightly better cos e guys were right at e corner of e pub and there were only 2 ppl with me. furthermore, there were a lot lesser ppl. but still, i can feel my hand trembling while holding e mic. but at least i can hold e mic with only hand..

am taking leave on monday to go for an interview. wish me luck man. i wanna get into that company. i hope i dun screw up or something.. i dun have much interview experience lor.. will be meeting huijie after my interview.. guess its gonna only be e 2 of us cos e rest will be working..

wah, long time no play badminton liao. feeling "gian". maybe have to wait for next week bah. nv book court leh.

btw ting, did u receive something from me? i'm afraid its lost in space. din get to see u online for a very long time le and eny was hao lian-ing to me, saying that she chatted with u. -_- anyway hope tt u're doing fine!

gotta have my lunch now. byeee

ting:

you know you are suffering from a serious overdose of global when you start analysing and scrutinising the cup you're drinking out of. ikea. a good example of how a firm crossed national borders and made foreign investments in almost all continents. made in turkey. why was turkey chosen as a manufacturing location? is it because of low labour costs? do they have a comparative advantage in making glasses? why ship glasses all the way from turkey to australia? why not china which is so much closer? and seeing mugs have a relatively low value-to-weight ratio, why not just manufacture them in australia????

you know there's something seriously wrong with you when your mood swings faster than a pendulum. when you start laughing at absolutely nothing at all and can't stop. when your friends look at you in bewilderment and ask if you're ok. when you don't have an answer to that question. when you look at the tub of cadbury ice cream sitting on the table and feel sick.

ugh.

maybe it's just stress. i have a freaking global online test which i have to do before the night is over. i'm done studying but something is stopping me from going ahead and doing it. i think that something is fear.

damn damn damn.

the giggling fit is back. thanks to something jo ann said. at least jovan is laughing WITH me. so perhaps i'm not as crazy as i thought myself to be.

ting:

vin, your hypnotic voice ain't working. and besides, if i were to take finance, i'll flunk right out of uni. beyond a question of doubt. take ECONS! everyone loves econs!!! :D:D:D come on..... *persuades*

and ira... ever heard of the word "revenge"? this is to get back at you for teasing me oh so much in grampians.

i love birthdays. and surprises. :D we're such great friends! watch out daniel!

ting:

once again. i'm in jo's place. and once again, i'm spending the night here. my apartment is starting to feel more like a hotel. because i am so so so bored, i got the following off jo's blog. let's face it. everything, except studying, seems interesting when exams are nearing. but strangely enough, mugging isn't that bad. guess it's because i'm doing it with friends (misery loves company) and their good humour and wonderful company takes the edge off all the stressful stuff a little.

i'm starting to doubt my abilities as a future marketer. when i can't even convince my friends to switch majors and join me in my areas of specialisations. *sobs*

here goes!

10 years ago i was:
10 years? that was ages ago. i was.... erm... in primary school. being anti-social. a geek with no life (thanks to countless tuition and after school study related activities). i vaguely remember being terrible in maths at that point in time and having the fiercest of fierce maths teacher. ouch! life sure was scary back then. singaporean maths teachers aren't the nicest people on this planet.

5 years ago i was:
this one i remember! :) i was 15 and in secondary three. i guess it was when my life took off and i started enjoying school. my social group started widening then... met wonderful people like hui, mei and jol. laughed endlessly at the silliest things ever imagined. went for breaks and lunches together, just enjoying each other's company. got to know the 3/10 people. alex. bernard. zihao. kelen. jinhong. shan (on a closer level). thereby forming our secondary school clique.

also had my second crush. :) which was so blatantly obvious to EVERYONE except me. *roll eyes* yeah i was THAT dumb. it was only AFTER my friends asked me if i liked him that i realised i did. but it was short-lived. lasted for a mere 3 weeks.

one year ago i was:
last year was a time of confusion really. was at crossroads and it was then i realised decision making was so unbelievably tough. i worked a bit, toured a bit (around western australia and victoria) with my family, entered nus and fought the stress battle every singaporean student has to fight. got my taste of freedom as well, staying in hall (pgp!) and watching reality shows with strangers who became friends. life never fails to surprise.

and of course. how could i forget mno guy?? the oh-so-gorgeous blue eyed blond hair european who lived in huili's hall? and who attended our management lectures? sigh... now that is what i call art. have yet to see a guy who is capable of matching up to his good looks ever since!

yesterday i was:
haha i guess you ought to have a pretty good idea of what i did yesterday. studied a little in the library before the entire grampians group (minus peiling and karni) decided to crash over in jo's place. and amazingly, we did manage to get some studying done! plus running out in the middle of the night to buy chocolates (our staple food... i think i'm on a slight chocolate high right now) for everyone, laughing our heads off at pei fei's staunch refusal to stop eating pork altogether, threatening to smear toothpaste on jovan (as revenge!) when he falls asleep (which resulted in him staying up the whole night, then running off home to bed when he couldn't keep his eyes from closing) and so forth. also learnt from ira's sister it is possible (???) to "fall" for someone just by seeing his photo. hmmmm. oh, plus pei fei, wei kee and me prodding ira throughout the night in hopes she'd sleeptalk and tell us who her crush is/was.

5 snacks i enjoy:
-- CHOCOLATE!!!! (need you even ask?)
-- potato chips/fries
-- ice-cream (i'm a sucker for sweet food)
-- sandwiches (might as well, seeing this is what i live on nowadays)
-- fruits (grapes, rockmelon, tomatoes...)

5 songs i know all the words to:
(er... this might be a little tough. i don't usually remember the lyrics to songs, unless it's right in front of me of course. but i'll try...)
-- desperado (the eagles)
-- i wanna take forever tonight (peter cetera and crystal bernard)
-- and when she danced (david foster)
-- glory of love (peter cetera)
-- sometimes love just ain't enough (don henley and patty smyth)

5 things i would do with a 100 million dollars:
(i only wish this was for real)
-- tour the world!
-- shop, shop and SHOP!!!!
-- help the less fortunate. this is for sure. i might even start giving out money!
-- adopt a kid (or many kids) from africa. saw this adopt a child booth outside safeway a couple of days back... felt a tug at my heartstrings, that while i am fortunate enough to be here, having a not-so-basic education, people in other parts of the world are still struggling for basic survival.
-- pursue all my dreams (which are pretty expensive dreams, when you come to think of it)

5 bad habits:
-- my inability to say no to anything relating to chocolate
-- my inability to diet
-- my inability to persuade myself that a trip to the gym would do more good than sitting in front of the computer (and thinking of fattening food)
-- leaving stuff to the last possible minute (procrastination. how many times has it occured this sem?)
-- thriving on music, hence resulting in a very over-worked mp3 player

5 biggest joys:
-- God. i love the feeling of euphoria i get when i'm in church.
-- my family and my wonderful, ever-supportive parents (who, for your information, encourages me to go for more outings and movies instead of taking the time to study. -_-)
-- my friends. irregardless of whether i got to know you 10 years back or 10 days ago, i love you all equally. thanks for the wonderful companionship!
-- waking up in the middle of the night and realising that the radio/your mp3 player is playing your absolute favourite song.
-- waking up in the middle of the night and discovering it's not yet time to get out of bed.

5 favourite toys:
-- my forever friend bear
-- the stuffed animals residing next to my bed
-- my mp3 player, this is definite
-- my laptop (when it doesn't get it into its head to make my life difficult)
-- my handphone? so that i feel "connected" somehow, to the rest of the world.

5 places i would run to:
-- michigan (to visit jennifer!)
-- south africa, in particular, cape town which is said to be the most beautiful place on earth
-- maldives, because it is "sinking"!
-- hong kong, for the food and shopping
-- home, because that is what it is

5 things i would never wear:
-- very very short skirts which fluff up at the sides
-- heels more than an inch high
-- eye liner... i've a phobia of it
-- my hair in a bun. brings back bad memories of dance classes
-- red lingerie. it's scary.

5 fav. tv shows:
(i don't have a freaking tv in australia! so this is a little outdated...)
-- the amazing race (though i haven't been watching it for goodness knows how many seasons)
-- LOST
-- CSI
-- CSI: miami
-- survivor (only the challenges part)

5 fictional characters i would date:
(why would i want to date a fictional character??)
-- aragorn!!!!!!!! from lord of the rings of course. how could anyone resist the charisma?
-- er... faramir maybe? also from lord of the rings. because he looks good. :)
-- boone from LOST. he is SO ADORABLE! never mind his character died... i can date his ghost! :) (yep, i'm definitely on chocolate high)
-- the human torch from fantastic four. love his ability to just burst into flames without any warning. makes life a tad more exciting eh?
-- either pippin or merry. from lord of the rings. but it'll be a little weird.. i'll probably be taller than both of them hobbits!

5 people i tag:
(what exactly does this mean? tag what? in their blogs? this is what i'm assuming...)
-- myself (except i can't do it anymore, after the emergence of some annoying impersonator)
-- vin li (i just did... in hopes it'll make her reconsider her majors and take econs with me. VIN!!! *hint hint*)
-- ira (sometimes)
-- pei
-- adel... in my tagboard. because it wasn't until recently she got herself one. :)

gosh. this took longer than i expected. one hour just to ponder my answers to all these questions? better head back to global/macro.

ps: jovan's asleep on the mattress next to me. is it time for the toothpaste to come out? *evil beyond evil grin*

ting:

studying with friends rock. 15 minutes before safeway closed, i decided all of us could do with some chocolate. so ira and i ran all the way to safeway. yup. RAN. the things we do for chocolate.

we bought 10 blocks. :):):) you should have seen the guy's face when he rang up our purchases. he was trying not to smile. ira and i were standing there trying not to smile as well. when he finally made eye contact with me, i sheepishly explained, "we're studying for exams. there're 7 people. so....." i guess he couldn't keep it in then. he even weighted it... amounted to 2++ kg. hee. doesn't matter... he told us a guy bought 7kg worth of chocolates at one go. and that record still remains. hmmmm.... bad breakup?

back to macro and solo-swan models.

(my friends obviously have been studying too much. they're getting a little insane. so ALL of them want their names mentioned in this entry.

thanks to JO ANN for kindly offering her apartment to us as a study/stayover place.

thanks to IRA for paying for (?) the chocolates.

thanks to PEI FEI, whose laptop i'm using now.

thanks to JOVAN for being here and answering my macro questions.

thanks to SUBA for being the only sane one left.

thanks to WEI KEE for being serious about his work and asking us to shut up on a constant basis.

thanks to CADBURY for manufacturing chocolates.

thanks to NESTLE DOUBLE BLEND for the to-die-for amazing melt-in-the-mouth chocolate.

and finally... thanks to MYSELF for even thinking about chocolates in the first place. :):):) )

ok. time for macro. and nothing else.

to my friends: while you guys rock..... STOP TALKING ABOUT NON STUDY RELATED STUFF!!! *throws shoes at them*

Hui:

after MIA (missing in action) for a couple of days, here i am with a post! my monitor died on me on sunday night! wanted to get a LCD this weekend but heng my bf has a spare monitor and he brought over. good also, i can save money!

haiz, feeling quite demoralised. in all aspects. i guess i do care wad ppl think of me afterall. or rather i have no faith.

its late now. gotta sleep. its friday again! yeah~~

PS: thanks taitai for e sms. i will (try to) add oil de! =)

ting:

once again. uni has become my first home. jo ann's place is my second. in fact, i barely spend more than 10 hours in my apartment nowadays. sigh... exams exams.

and my stupid laptop is throwing a tantrum. or maybe it's the college square network. whatever the reason, i'm unable to access the internet back in my apartment. grrrrr. had to come to school without printing out my lecture notes today. bloody hell.

for some weird reason. i'm feeling blue. have yet to decide whether it's attributed to exams. or maybe it's the knowledge that this sem is fast screeching to an end and i have to say goodbye to certain things. i'd miss global (despite the shit amount of readings) and macro. but at the same time, finance can't end soon enough. or perhaps it's also because everyone (and i mean EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY FRIENDS) are gonna major in accounting and/or finance. feh. me? marketing management and economics. i'll never see them around in my lectures/tutes again. and this thought is enough of a bummer. i should probably take the opportunity to get to know more people. but at the same time, i don't want us to drift apart. what's the use of getting to know people only on the surface instead of on a closer level?

3 more weeks to influence them (hopefully jo) to change majors. but it'll be tough... everyone's so set on doing accounting and/or finance.

sigh. and i can't access my own blog. for some weird unknown reason. everything is against me.

ps: i don't even know why i'm writing this but ira told me what her friend commented when he saw my picture. he took one look at me and asked her if i am a virgin. -_-because i looked so flat(?). how....erm...... unflattering? then again, having the ability to laugh at yourself and not take offense is a good trait to have, is it not? i think i mastered the ability to catch myself when i fall (both literally and figuratively). which is good. because it means i don't need anyone. except God.

ting:

i learnt that i should never, EVER say something like, "there is no way in hell i'll ever do something like this". because chances are, i'd eventually do it.

i vaguely remembered saying something along the lines of "i'll NEVER put ANYTHING in my eyes! they're ultra sensitive! NO CONTACT LENS!". guess what? i wear my lens more frequently than my glasses nowadays.

also have memories of saying to myself, "i WON'T ever dye my hair. the roots look disgusting when they grow out". well, they still do. but take a look at my hair. i'm literally hooked on colouring it now.

very clearly remembered myself saying "there's no way i'd pay money to watch that movie" while watching the trailer for "the 40 year old virgin". guess what? sigh. i let daniel talk me into doing just that today. of course, i was right. 1 minute into the movie and i wanted to kill him for making me do it. grrrrrrrrrrr.

and things i say i'd do? i never get round to doing them. "i'll start studying TODAY. i'll start studying right at the beginning of next sem. there's no way i'd leave things to the last minute again. i won't let history repeat itself again." maybe i should try something along the lines of "i WON'T study for exams one month beforehand. last minute work is good and sensible. they motivate you more."

bleh.

as of tomorrow, the study marathon for finals kick off. or at least, i hope they do. and jo has influenced me into going for the same law lecture TWICE a week. as from now. or maybe it's because i realised how screwed i am when the prof told us the exam format.

and perhaps, just perhaps, i'd embark on something i swore i'd never do. i'm freaking scared. if i do it, jo and daniel are gonna pay for it. their ears will fall off from my screams.

wish me luck.

Hui:

went out with hong on thursday, as it was his "last day" b4 going to tekong to serve his NS. wanted to pull jol along, but she was not free. and somehow, i forgot how, Mei came along too. haha.. hong brought his sister's camera and we took some pictures. oh, did i forgot to declare that i have one more di? that is hong. jinhong didi. i'm not too sure how he become my di. all i noe was that he suddenly called me jiehui jiejie over msn and i naturally called him jinhong didi. anyway he's really younger than me and look so boyish (+ cute). and our initials are both JH! haiz, toking abt di, dunno alex di recover from his PMS liao or not.. -_-

anyway, here are some of e pics that we took.


(jin)hong didi and me! got siblings look right? haha


hong acting cute. wanted to take a pic of him and he striked this kawaii pose. meant to be joke la, but i pushed e button anyway. wahaha.. really act cute. feel like slapping him =x


e 3 of us.

mei & me~! dunno y she likes to hug me/lean on me. thus almost every pic that i took with her turns out to be so les. urgh! btw, zhen xian's friend who saw this pic asked if she's my sister. wahaha.. we look alike ah?


playing pool. proster!


advanced level

ting:

to sharon lee: haha, yeah, i love my pictures too!

adel: oy... you were in america! for THREE months! and you only took 3000+ pictures. we took 2000+ in FIVE days. so who won eh? *evil snickers*

ron: hey girl.. all's good. well, things would be better if exams/tests/assignments didn't exist. but yeah, i'll catch you when i'm back in singapore yeah? take care!!

*edited*

stupid pei fei. for the last tag which claimed to be "me", i know for a fact it was him because he TAGGED right IN FRONT OF ME. -_-

ting:

9 people. 5 days. 5 cameras. 2032 pictures and videos. the ultimate holiday of a lifetime. let the stories begin.

the beginning of our holidays!

the perfect circle

jovan and karni. the two strong guys who carried me off after my "fainting" act.

just some of the awesome sights we saw that day. came at a price though... scrambling over all those rocks was a killer.

looking back at the photos, i realised jo loves "strangling" me

only halfway there

taking a much needed pitstop along the way

this is what we climbed all the way to the highest peak for.

looks exactly like what we'd see from a helicopter/plane

are there any words to describe what you see?

breathtaking

another photo opportunity

our very pretty campfire

we made it! to the highest point in the whole of grampians!

the wind threatening to blow us right off the cliff

the guys just HAD to show their macho side and strip despite the freezing wind

me in front of victoria's largest waterfall

beyond words

from another angle, still as breathtaking

i could spend the rest of my life doing this

karni's on the top of the world!

ira with her ever sweet smile

jovan looking really wistful. gorgeous photo isn't it? no prizes for guessing who the photographer is. once again. *ahem* *huge grin*

mesmerising wouldn't even come close as being a good description for this.

God's creation.

cute bambi!

a new breed of animal in the wildlife park?

the wombat was asleep so...

in a rare moment of alertness

i got myself a clingy kangaroo who wouldn't let go of my hand even when wei kee wanted to feed it. :)

very cold python

more views to die for.

vineyard

i'm highly amused by these photos, because the four of us were doing the taking ourselves. and half of jo ann's face kept getting cut off. observe.

hehe *evil grins* (jo is so gonna kill me)

finally getting her into the picture

fast running out of descriptive words. erm... would gorgeous come close?

it being the last day, i didn't want to say goodbye to jesse, the hostel dog. :(

home bound, on the train. :(

and finally, a nice all-you-can-eat buffet to wrap up a brilliant trip (lousy photographer had such shaky hands)

Hui:

one of e pictures we took on sat at sentosa. Shan went off halfway for her church meeting, and siowshan who originally had plans to go touring around with her mum and marcus joined us for a short while. and i mean really a short while. she went off after taking this pic and exchanging some sentences.. e rest of e pics are with shan. but then, its not like we've taken lots of pics la. less than 10 in all i think. anyway this pic was taken using marcus' d-cam.

Hui:

finally a post from me!

spent a day (not really actually, half a day) at sentosa siloso beach on sat. have not stepped into sentosa for abt 4yrs already. actually felt quite excited. haha =x e reason for going? jol asked us (mei, shan and me) to join her and randy + randy's friends.. if not she'll be bored to death. i have to admit that singapore is REALLY small. michelle was there too. michelle. does this name ring a bell? well, e gal who was in e same class as ting, mei, jol and me during sec 3 and 4. her bf is randy's (who is jol's bf) friend. its so "friendster" lor.

played volleyball and i have bruises on my palm, knuckles and wrists. mei said i look like i kanna beaten up or ill-treated in sentosa. oh well, it was fun la. and it wasn't that painful at that time. its onli after all e activities, like touch rugby and frisby (did i spell it correctly?) that i feel e pain and e blueblacks showing. i got e worst "injury" among e gals lor.

woke up on sunday morning feeling energised. except e muscle ache on my shoulder blades. my legs are ok. and for today, i dunno y, my arms start to ache as well. wah lao, i'm so weak. terrible muscle ache on both of my arms i'm suffering now. WEAK AH! nothing of this sort happens when i played badminton. -_-

went ktv at bishan cc yesterday and there was a power trip in e middle of e singing session. lol.. was actually quite amused by that. anyway, went to watch The Myth. i think its a nice show. and i like it for e fact that quite a major part of e show was in cantonese. man, they (i mean e actors) sound so nice and natural.

watched some variety show with my dear sister jus now, and i think one of e hosts is gay. his actions are so sissy! and somehow he reminds me of bernard. i have no idea y.. cos bernard is act cute type. not sissy.

jus "parted" with ting on msn. looks like my didi alex is STILL suffering from PMS. haiz.. dunno how to cure him.

its getting late now. gotta sleep. i hope i'll be much more productive tml. =)

ting:

it really doesn't matter WHERE you are. it's WHO you're with that makes all the difference.

GRAMPIANS, 2005
