Mini rice balls. Made them myself. :)

On my way back from Lightsticks Bargaining Trip with Wynne, Yan Ling and Rujun at Bugis Station. Super paiseh. Everyone stopped to look at me.

Outdoor Games Trial. Nice place. :)

Fort Canning. Plugs carved from wood.

Zixin and Teck Poh. LOL.

Dim Sum at Imperial Treasure Restarant

Alright, bye bye holidays. See you soon in eight weeks time.

2009-04-12T23:35:00.003+08:00

Mini Educational Fair Fiesta Posters!

Finally managed to post them up. Cute, right? Looks so artistic. LOL.

Had our first camp trial yesterday. Ahhh.. Was quite bad. Sorry everyone. We were really last minute with the helpers list. But really want to thank you guys for being so understanding. Also want to thank those who stayed back to help us clear the stuff. Thank you! Really appreciate your help. :)

Went out on Crayon Shin Chan's crazy lorry for breakfast with Pooh Bear, Shu Shan, Mr Emo, Fei Yu Qing, Faceless Ghost, Ghost Rider and Jay Chou. Ha haa.. Feel much better now. Whooo.. So fun!

2009-04-02T23:01:00.002+08:00

Alright, I'm taking a great leap here. See these stuff toys? I've been collecting them for a long, long time. Almost twenty years. Some of them are still brand new in their packaging. I got some from my friends and families, some overseas and some from plain impulses. Yeah, I'm lame. Took them all out to take a farewell photo.

I said I'm gonna take a great leap, right? Well, I'm going to donate them. Most of them. But I'm still keeping those I have emotional attachmemts with. Just those few. Other than that, I'm saying bye bye. :(

I'll miss you guys. Well, it's all for a good cause. Well done, Xiangting. Another step forward.

Goodbye, my friends. *blows nose*

Happy belated Earth Day!

Mask-making for KidsRead

KidsRead children, say cheese.

Well, rushed back to school after KidsRead for the Performance Department rehersal, then had GDD Meeting till 5 plus I guess. Then stayed back with Wynne to rush our Nightwalk proposal till 10 plus 11. Was just joking to Rujun that we will be staying back till ten. Didn't know it would be true. LOL. Bad joke.

Well, had been like that ever since after our exams. This is madness! This is Mentoring Frenzy! Mini Edu was like this also. Stayed back till 10 plus with Masdian, Wynne and Daniel to rush the Mini-Edu props. Gosh..

I need a break! I wanna go Europe. Give me a Kit Kat! This is supposed to be a holiday! I don't even have time to work now. I need a paycheck. Give me S$1,000,000!

2009-03-27T16:55:00.007+08:00

Just came back from Batam a few days ago. Went for a short mission trip with Qiaolin. So fun! Whoo.. LOL. Promised Qiaolin not to spoil the market so I shan't elaborate more. Shhh..

Distinct flavour at Batam.

Uncle selling chips.

J.CO donuts. So much cheaper over at Batam.

Sunset. Love the telephone lines.

Had our dinner at Chinatown the day before we left. No more nice, nice porridge. :(

Gonna find another good porridge stall. In mood for a food trip soon!

Dang. Been having fever on and off these days. Was it the trip or does it have anything got to do with our camp planning. A bad omen? LOL.

Okay, okay no more crapping. Still have a lot of things to rush. People are gonna come running after me with chopping knives soon.

2009-03-19T17:59:00.004+08:00

Haji Lane! Haji Lane! Went to Haji Lane with Li Yan yesterday! Took lots of photographs!

Here's a really cute CCTV.

Everything is just so cool. Envious.

There is a little museum inside this shop but we didn't go in cause we need to pay for admission. So we merely looked around the shop and took some photographs. I even bought a packet of cute, little five stones before we left. Hee.. Felt nostalgic.

The items in this shop are pretty pricey but classy. I love it!

An old telephone in perfect condition outside a shop boutique.

Hookah Pipes! Saw many people smoking with these.

Here's another reason why I love Haji Lane. They have lots of pretty wall designs.

Here. There. Everywhere!

Li Yan wanted to take the Trishaw but we didn't bear to part with that few dollars. (Yeah, we are kiam siap.) Fortunately, we found this at Istana Kampong Gelam. Guess it made her really happy! See her big, wide grin. LOL.

Mr Silver at IT Fair! Poor thing, his eyes were all red. Wan Jun looked really sad when I took his photo. I should have taken her photo and shown you guys.

Mini Edu Fair over! Enrolment over! Yay! Was so busy last few weeks over Mini Edu Fair. We went back to school almost everyday, day to night one particular week. I was a bit grouchy at first but then realised it was pretty fun afterall. Thank you, Rujun! Thank you, Masdian! FIESTA ROCKS! Also want to thank everyone who has helped us. You know who you are. I'd better not name you people out one by one in case I miss anyone or I'll be cursed for the rest of my life. LOL. Thank you so much. Really appreciate all the help that we have gotten since we were so short-handed. Thank you and stop calling me fshball! Stop, or fishball will choke you to death!

One last good news! I passed my IDEA module! Whoo hoo.. Even got B+. I don't have to forward module! Yay.. I was so scared I didn't dare to check my results. But surprise, surprise! Well, now we know. Our IDEA lecturer didn't mark our attendance. But that's the reason why I love her! Yay! :)

2009-03-01T13:50:00.004+08:00

A screenshot of my animation for my final 3DF assignment. Couldn't upload on Youtube. Don't know why. Sad. :(

Watched White Palms with my class Movie Chiongsters after our killer Maths paper last week.

Verdict: I guess I just don't know how to appreciate art films. LOL.

Met up with Qiaolin last Tuesday for some Sparklers stuff. Thank you Qiao Lin for the treat at Wong Kok! :)

Class Outing at Seoul Garden on 26 February 2009

Thank you Cheong Ghim, Aisyah and Daren for the treat! You guys are the best!

LOL. This is a funny photo. We used corns, broccolis and carrots to clean the barbeque pit then we didn't know where to throw them so we put them inside this bowl. Don't you think it looks like Black Pepper Cream Veggie Soup?

Verdict: Maybe we can consider washing our plates with corns next time. They make good scrubbers.

I love 1B01!

Our last memory. :) I'll miss you guys. Miss me too. LOL.

Just discovered a very good steamboat restaurant. It's at Bugis opposite Shaw Tower. I forgot the name. Sorry. But there's a lot of varieties. It's only $18 nett per person. And it's so much better than the steamboats at Marina South.

Mei Mei ate 10 crabs yesterday! Wei Yang and Jeremy ate like 1 million clams and dumplings. Crazy eaters. But the food was really superb. Then we wrapped up with some desserts at Crystal Jade Hong Kong Cafe. So I guess after all the eating this week, I think I've put on 5Kg. LOL.

2009-02-02T19:15:00.006+08:00

Finally completed my DVDE module! Yay!

But that stupid Scoopzman gave us C+. Real spoiler, man. Damn you, Scoopzman. I shall never eat Scoopz anymore.

Anyway, was on my way home just now then wanted to eat Berrylite. But realised they have shifted to Parkway. Ahhh.. Soo far. No more Berrylite for a while now. :(

Anyway, handed up my Webp asssignment today. Cute right? It's simple but then.. it's still cute.

Shan't say too much. Still have other assignments to do. Chiong arh!

2009-01-27T14:40:00.007+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!

Had our reunion dinner at Cidan then went on to k with my relatives after our dinner. :)

Can you tell which is my mom? I am a carbon copy of her.

Yeah, the second one from the left. She's right beside me. No pun intended (learnt from InuAisyah.) LOL.

2009-01-21T13:13:00.005+08:00

Mr Money was really funny yesterday. He was teaching us the frequency distribution table and asked if we could find the mean even without the individual values. And so I shouted, "agar agar!" He was very pleased with the answer and kept using the term throughout the lesson.

Mr Money: So we agar agar use the frequency to agar agar the total value to find out the agar agar mean. LOL.

Entertaining lecturer. Can compete with Mr Kiwi.

Mr Tan's polariod! Took this in class during our programming lesson. :)

Watched Ponyo Ponyo with Pei Pei, Wan Wan, Ping Ping, Ling Ling, Puay Puay, Mei Mei and Jun Jun at The Cathay last, last Thursday. It was cute but not as good as Spirited Away. Then had Merlionster at Ben & Jerry's. But no kick. Should try Vermonster next time. Will definitely put on 10kg afterwards.

Went to help out for the SP Openhouse with Mr Mayday and Ms Candy Floss last, last Saturday. Not many people played the games. So we ended up walking around begging for goodie bags and finding the super nice SP Elderflower Pokka tea.

Then went to shop at the West Coast Plaza. Found my McDonald's bear from Comic Connection! Had a hard time finding it. Wasn't even able to find it on eBay. I'm calling it Ginza Bear. :)

Celebrated Wan Wan's birthday with Ling Ling, Puay Puay, Sha Sha, Mr Biong, Mr Dustbin, Friend No 1, Mr $4000 and Mr Rich Man last Thursday at Sakae Sushi. Watched Bedtime Stories. Stupid Dustbin spreaded cream on my hand like nobody's business. As if spreading butter on a bread. Then the girls kept discussing about that Sakae Uncle. Ahem ahem.. too old. Too old. Cannot. But glad that Wan Wan had fun. Welcome to the two X Club! Haha!

Went to Health Zone for our SC Outing last Saturady. Was really fun. But Science Centre is still better. Then PK-ed with Mr Mayday after our outing. Zi Xin sounded like Angela Zhang. Gary sounded like Crayon Shin Chan. Kenneth sounded like Jay Chou. Sam sounded like Fei Yu Qing. LOL. Exactly the same. I swear! Then Henry sounded like my spoilt casette tape. LOL. Joking, joking.

Had my first reunion dinner last Sunday. Yeah, a bit kiasu. But I still have two more reunion dinners to go! Yay.. Chinese New Year = Good Food!

Anyway, got this brinjal pouch at the push cart at SB Foyer for only one dollar. Very cheap! They sell other softies too at either $1 and $2. Go take a look. You might find something you like. (It's all brand new.)

2009-01-03T16:13:00.004+08:00

Went to Boon Lay CC for countdown with Jeremy on New Year's Eve. Not too bad. At least there were were some fireworks. But a bit pathetic.

That's Hardy Mirza.

Had steamboat at Chewy's place with Chewy's boyfriend, Pinky, Joyner and Wee Ling last Friday. Thank you girls for organising! Really appreciate all the hardwork. It somehow felt like a reunion dinner. :)

2008-12-29T19:40:00.009+08:00

A lot of people said they like my current blogskin but please don't be mistaken. It wasn't designed by me. It was by SPLASH!

However, this one is. Monsters Delights. I just finished it today for my WebP assignment.

Last minute work but it's still presentable. So relax. :)

3 Jan 2008
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damn, I take back my words. Bala said I gotta redo cause I used the whole picture as my background and so it's cheating. Dang. :(

I hate redoing my work! Arrgh.. What's wrong with that? You still get the same end product. Plus it's more efficient that way.

2008-12-28T01:07:00.004+08:00

Saw two Ah Guas today! OMG. And one sissy. That sissy even asked me to help him massage his shoulders. Hello? This is an art gallery, not a massage parlor. Gross.

Anyway, Merry, merry Christmas everyone! :)

To the stranger who was blocking my view all the time, Merry Christmas also.

Had a Christmas Barbeque at my cousin's place on Christmas Eve. But, it was raining that day. So my whacky, smarty pants Uncle decided to microwave our food. LOL. But we did manage to barbeque a little after my Nyonya show at 10pm. Lucky.

Went filming for our Mentoring Video on Friday. I think Nazihah, Mr Batman Joker Emo 5566 and I have successfully evolved to become the most spastic people on earth. Stupid, we were reading off the script with the laptop in front of us.

Managed to meet up with Qiao Lin for dinner after the filming at Crystal Jade (yucks!) and some shopping at Bugis Village. Woot! And she has some interesting plans for me for 2009! Sweet.

Did our IDEA shopping last week at IKEA.

IDEA = IKEA. Do you see our vision? Some pretty crystal balls sold there. $6.90 only.

Also managed to meet up with Pei Lin last week. But for some reasons, ahem, (dirty shirt) coughs coughs, she hates Berrylite which I so love.

And the funniest thing that happened this holiday was the one day job at Asia Pacific Brewery for Tiger Beer. Ha haa.. Even dragged Ethel and Jia Jun. I don't even drink. But I thought it was pretty fun. LOL. Thanks, Elaine for the lobang! :)

Well, that's my holiday. Not too bad. Kinda fun.
But here comes hell. Yikes!

2008-12-16T22:38:00.009+08:00

Keyboard lessons are back! Hooray! Managed to learn this song. A simplied one only. LOL. I'm not that pro yet.

Had a torturous four-and-a-half hours Sub-Comm meeting today. Almost died half-way. But at least I got into the Fiesta Department. Lucky.

Plus, we tried a personality test. Just confirmed that I'm a dorminant and arrogant Choleric. Dang.

2008-12-14T17:13:00.008+08:00

Went down for the Health Mapping Excercise with Sinagpore Heart Foundation (SHF) for our CIP last Thursday and Friday. Kinda fun. Had InuAisyah, Friend Number One and Miss Gentle as my team mates.

We had to go door-to-door to conduct the free health screening checks. Most of the folks were rather friendly. There was just one old lady that made a pretty deep impression. She reminded me of a typical cartoon charater from Studio Ghibli. Even InuAisyah was amused by her speech. She was on the phone and InuAisyah claimed that she heard her say "I'm the only person on this world." Well, I wonder what happened to the rest of the 6,867,770,236 human population.

She looks like this. But much cuter.

Then went down to town with fluffy after our training on Thursday. Met a cranky uncle with a Donald Duck's voice on our way home.

Had dinner at Holland Village after our CIP on Friday and then went down to IMM for shopping! Got myself another pretty bag. Sweet. :)

2008-12-08T13:46:00.003+08:00

Went to crash fluffy's group for their Kinokuniya trip on Friday cause backpacking class was cancelled.

Then went for night cycling with the usual Ghost-cum-Transversites-Hunting Gang. I was telling InuAisyah that morning I had a very bad feeling about the trip and I was right. Even Yu Qian felt uneasy that day. Fortunately nothing really serious happened. I almost thought one of us would be possessed or kidnapped by the ghosts. But poor Yu Qian, she sprained her foot twice that night.

And I saw a face at the Old Changi Hospital. I thought it was my imagination initially but Wei Yang saw the exact same thing, at the exact same window. Shivers. I don't know if I want to do that again. I had a sudden, weird conviction that day after we ended. That it feels so good to be alive. Well and safe. Weird for me to say something like that. Don't know.

2008-12-05T00:39:00.002+08:00

Finished all of my papers and assignments and it feels GREAT! Went down to town with Wei Yang, Mei Mei and Jeremy yesterday. Managed to solve a tricky issue with the help of my dear, dear friends. :)

Ended school early today. And did something unexpected today. I played basketball? Yeah, and I just comfirmed something which I already know. I suck at sports.

2008-12-01T22:33:00.009+08:00

Yay.. Completed my DVDE assignment! Phew.. Past two days were a killer. And a big thank you to the three carpenters White Dustbin, Yan Ru and Friend No. One. You guys were of a great help.

Here's my final piece. We were supposed to design a poster for NParks.

The little, gray fellow over there is a monitor lizard in case you are wondering. And it's not a dog! The first monitor lizard was even worse. I showed it to my mom and she thought it was a pile of soil. At least she didn't say it looks like a pile of shit.

Well no suprise, since my monkey was once mistaken as a pikachu. Stupid fluffy. Stupid Leon. Stupid Pikachu. Who ask him to look like my monkey. My monkey is so much cuter, okay?

Many things happened today. Was quite chaotic. But thank God, it's over! At least I've enjoyed it. Enjoyed the rush and puff.

Had dinner at Botak Jones with Rich Man, Panda Man, InuAisyah, Friend No. One, White Dustbin and Yan Ru. Then home sweet home. Gotta have a good rest today. Good night, everyone! :)

2008-11-29T00:53:00.006+08:00

Three cheers for myself! I've finally finished my 3DF assignment! Took me one whole, intensive week of Kaya-Mayaing and a lot of skipping lessons before I could produce this.

Stage One: Modelling

Stage Two: Texturing
Stage Three: Lighting

Yeah, I know. The curtain sucks. But I was super fed up with the UV mapping already. So just gotta make do with it. I've got some constructive comments from my coursemates regarding the modelling. But one of them was pretty out-of-the-world.

"The bear's arms look amputated."

Went to the SAM with Mother Teresa and Panda Man for my DVDE assignment which was due today?! Oops. And I missed two meetings today. Another oops.

Wanted to take a long hallway but I wasn't able to find my ideal angle. Well, guess I'll just have to use Maya for DVDE. But I did manage to get some interesting shots.

I love this one.

And this one. Ha haa..

SAM doesn't allow photography. So I'm posting these pictures up secretly. Shhh..

My camera had to play hide-and-seek with the security guards. There were just so many of them. One in each gallery. Their maintainence fees must be high.

I'm suprised there was quite a considerable amount of nudity in the art pieces and videos. Hmmm.. Guess I'm just outdated. Didn't know Singapore has moved out of her conservative shell already.

Anyway, I'm gonna start my DVDE tomorrow. Yosh. Looking forward to assignment-less days again!

2008-11-27T22:34:00.003+08:00

Yes. Maya Kaya left 15%. Good good. Thank you so much Aisyah and Cheeryl and the others who have helped me! I'm definitely able to finsh the assignment by tomorrow! Cheers!

I'm a noob no more. :)

2008-11-25T21:59:00.009+08:00

Eiffel Tower, Paris

Beautiful right? I want my grade to be like that too. A bit hard considering how little time I have till my deadline. Gonna die in 3 days.

Help! Assignments overloaded.

2008-11-16T22:06:00.006+08:00

Alright, managed to complete quite a bit of assignments. I've studied 90% for my Econs test! Yay! So I'm only left with 10% for tomorrow then I'm ready for the dreaded-no-more Econs CA1 on Tuesday. :)

Then I've also completed Tutorial 3 for WebP. Phew.. Bala has gone for re-service so I guessed it's okay to hand up late. Better late than never I suppose! Now you know why I'm always late for class.

Then I've also completed most of Maths Tutorial 3 and 4! That didn't take very long. I didn't know how to do some questions though. Don't even know what they were asking for.

Completed my portfolio for CD. 60% actually. But I guess it's okay cause there's nothing else for me to write. Anymore and I would be lying.

So I'm just left with DVDE which I haven't started. Gosh, I need to take photos soon! Real soon. I'm behind time already. I started a little on 3DF. Finally. Thank God. Managed to model a cup and a saucer?! Lol.. Alright, gotta buck up on that one as well. And then I'm left with Backpacking presentation. We are doing on China. Thought Europe would be more interesting though. But China is cheap so it's good. :)

Yep, well done Xiangting! A few more weeks and I'm free again! Yoo hoo! Counting down to holidays already!

2008-11-07T21:53:00.001+08:00

Some ultra cool hotels that I want to visit!

Ice Hotel, Sweden

Underwater Hotel, Dubai (2009)

You may soon be able to sleep with the fishes in the Middle East - and in luxury, which you might well expect when you're paying as much as US$5,500 for a day's lodging.

Space Hotel (2012)

The hotel, "Galactic Suites," will allow adventurous travelers to enjoy a spectacular starry view from their hotel rooms, see the Sun rise 15 times a day and take part in scientific experiments while they are not using Velcro suits to crawl around their pod-room walls. :)

The trip won't be cheap though--a three-day stay will cost around $4 million, according to Reuters.

2008-11-03T19:46:00.011+08:00

Went to see the dentist last Firday. Had an X-ray and was given some painkillers after the check-up. But it felt more like a botox injection cause half of my lower face was numb after the whole session. And the worse thing was the anaesthetic only wore off after 3 hours or so. I looked as if I was smirking all the time. Dang.

Headed home to rest cause I didn't want to go around lookng like a jackass. Then went for the CSI (Camp of Scouting Incredible and Interaction) Mentoring Camp. The whole idea of this camp was to solve a case of a serial murder. It was really creative. Never had a camp like this before. We were given clues and evidence like a photograph, journals, a scribbled strip of paper, laboratory findings, autospy results, a voice recording, a will, a family tree and other stuff which I couldn't remember. We had to use them to find the serial killer. We ran around Singapore to get the clues, from SP to Taka to Plaza Sing to Larvender to Bugis to Tiong Bahru to Outram then finally back to Dover. I almost died half-way. Gosh.

2008-10-29T22:43:00.003+08:00

InuAisyah and I went to the NEWater Plant with SPSE today.

It was much nicer than I thought. And it feels so much like Science Centre. This is my favourite place. So discotheque-like.

Then we met up with Jia Jun and Mei Peng for our Bukit Timah hike. While we were on our way there, we saw Cheong Ghim's road. He must have used that $4,000 to buy a road.

Followed by Xin De's shop. LOL. Now, we know. Xin De is rich too.

Then we saw monkeys. A lot, a lot of them. Ethel? Wen Jie?

And then a Komodo Dragon! Or is it a Monitor Lizard? Ah whatever.

And finally, a beautiful sunset. :)

It was soooo fun today! I laughed so much. Thank you so much guys! :)

Peace!

2008-10-29T00:13:00.011+08:00

The CEO of Garskin came by yesterday! He was interested in buying the copyrights of the oil paintings in the gallery and printing them as laptop skins. Well, how cool is that? But I know nuts about copyrights and stuff like that so I just gave him my boss's namecard.

This is mine! I'm showing it off whenever I can. It's not Garskin. I ain't that rich. But it's limited edition! Cause there's my name. LOL.

Well, have been slogging for the past three days while everyone gets to enjoy the long weekend. It was not that bad actually. At least I can self-fund my new addiction -- Online Shopping!

Met up with Yu Qian and Jeremy for Twentieth Century Boys after work. Not bad. Just that the plot can be a little slow at times.

"Kenji kun, asobi ma shyo?"

Finally, another terrible, torturous, disgusting Tuesday conquered. Class starts at 8.30am and ends at 9.30pm every Tuesday! Can you believe it? I'm saturated now after 13 hours of class and that stupid 4 hours of Econs.

And here comes the good news! The Come Againers is recruiting! Membership is free but comes with Terms & Conditions. It was founded by Mind Corruptor InuyAisyah and Smug Student Xiangting on 29 October, 13:41:26pm at FC6! Saw a potential member today and that's none other than Mr Biong. Guess he will be one of us soon. Saw him did the sign during DVDE. Heh heh..

2008-10-19T12:40:00.008+08:00

I love yesterday's KidsRead session! Read this book to the kids - The Talking Vegetables.

And we did some Pimp Your Vegetables Exercise. I was cutting like nobody's business the night before. Had to prepare those straps of coloured papers and do a sample for them.

I think we did a much better job this time. Yay.. Practice makes perfect. See how much the kids were enjoying? :)

Went on to meet Li Yan in the afternoon to shop at VivoCity. Had lunch at the White Dog Cafe. Cute.

That's Li Yan with her big, wide grin posing with her Chicken Consomme.

We shopped around at Vivo and went to Kster at Chinatown. Sang till 8 plus then home sweet home!

2008-10-16T23:01:00.003+08:00

Went to K Mob with Aisyah, Mei Peng, Jia Jun, Sebastian and Cheeryl after school today. That stupid old hag fined us $10 for overshooting by 30 minutes. Then we told her we'll have to stay for another half an hour since the normal charging is $10/hr. Well, there was camera and I think they were disgusted by Mr Biong's actions so they came knocking on the door and lectured us. When it was finally 7.30pm we booked out. But that stupid old hag saw a damaged bean bag and accused us of being responsible for it. What the hell? We had to review the CCTV footages to prove our innocence. But it was kinda funny to look at ourselves. It felt like watching America's Funniest Videos or Just For Gags. Well, I guess it was really embarrassing for Mr Biong cause he did a lot of gross stuff. Anyway, we reviewed it and proved to them that it was oringially like that when we stepped in. But the funny thing was, the group before us was Koala Yan Ping and her other four girl friends. Ha ha.. It looks like spycam when we watched their footages. One of them were even dancing inside. LOL. It was quite terrible but I love today's K Mob session!

2008-10-15T22:35:00.005+08:00

Went to the Farewell Party at the Jurong Fuji Ice Palace with Elaine and her SPARCians friends! (I don't know if that's what they call themselves. Sounds like spartans though.) It was really fun! There was buffet and performances as well.

I really enjoyed myself but it's really sad to see it close down. It holds so many of my memories. I've made so many friends there. I've had so much fun all these years. Well, that's life. Nothing last forever.

Anyway, here's a picture of the Rockefeller Ice Rink in New York City. I'm gonna go there one day. I swear.

2008-10-11T22:28:00.004+08:00

Just came back from chalet last Wednesday. Had fun catching mini crabs and barbequing cockroaches. Evil grin. Fun but they stink when they melt.

Today was really terrible. Wanted to go for the Astro Sentosa outing after Mentoring. And so I went home to change my clothes but then I forgot to bring my keys. (Ah! I'm a sotong!) I thought my brother was home cause the ceiling fan was on, the lights was on and most importantly, the wooden door was opened. I thought he was in the bathroom and so I waited outside for an hour. But it turned out that he wasn't. My neighbour saw me pacing outside my house and offered to drive me to get the keys from my mom. He was on his way to re-service anyway. Well, thank God. If not, I would have rotten to death. Then met up with Jeremy at West Mall for lunch. Then we walked all the way from Bukit Batok to Boon Lay. Ha haa.. It took longer than expected. I think we took about 4 hours. We even went to the pagoda at Chinese Garden. I was supposed to scare him by telling him ghost stories but I was laughing throughout. Well, really should practice more. Then had dinner and home sweet home. What a day! I'm dead beat.

2008-10-05T00:09:00.010+08:00

Yay.. I finally got to taste the Korean Kkul Dduk at Novena yesterday! Yum. I've always wanted to try this Korean dessert.

Went to Novena and Far East with Jaslyn yesterday. We went to Curry Favour for dinner and I had Matcha Cheesecake with ice cream for dessert! Slurp!

Well, Friday was my last day of work. We celebrated my farewell during lunch. Really, I just don't understand why people use the word "celebrate" for farewells. Are they that happy to send me off? Anyway, had the pottie pie at Rocky Masters and Caramel Almond Fudge at Bakin Boys.

I really am going to miss my lunch mates -- Dove Chocolate Meng Hui, Koala Biscuit Yan Ping, Ribena Wei Ni and Bubble Tea Yu Hua. Koala Biscuit Yan Ping is from SB so I can still meet her up for lunch once in a while.

I love their chairs at A*Star. Really cute. It feels like suede. Very comfy. Wonder where they got them. Maybe I should put one in my room. :)

Well, had a Ghost Trail last Wednesday with Yu Qian, Wei Yang and Jeremy. Kinda too little, too scary. We didn't meet any of those you-know-what but we did saw a lot of guard dogs. I'm really scared of dogs. And there were six of them, really huge ones at the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. They were all barking at the same time and some even tried to run towards us. Whoa, I was the first one to run. I was so freaked out. Damn.. That was really scary. It was a pity we couldn't go inside. They say it's really nice in there. With the sea surrounding the island. Well, better luck next time. Maybe there really was something in there and the dogs were warning us. At least I'm still alive.

After that, we went to Changi Village to see transvestites. Ha ha.. We saw three and we actually had a strange encounter with one of them. I shall not put it here since it contains a little of NC16 stuff. But it was really funny.

Then afterwards, we tried to cycle to the Old Changi Hospital but we missed a turn so we decided to go to the Red House instead. We didn't go in but we took a lot of photos. I deleted all of them except this one. I took this one at the Red House. It's red because I took it with the Night Mode Settings. I love this photo. It reminds me of some evil aura.

I really think we did more of cycling than ghost hunting. We started cycling at 11pm until the next day 9.30am. My legs were numb when we finished. But we still went to Junction 8 for the Painted Skin movie. Well, I think it was worth the money. Not scary but I consider it a good watch.

These are some of the photos I took at Tampines Road. It was raining in the morning so we had to stop a while. (But cycling in the rain was fun too.) I saw this UFO look alike struture and decided to take it. Cool, huh? I forgot to check the name of the company though.

The temple looks so old that's alluring. And so I took it too.

Well, that's all for my ghost trail. I met up with my JC buddies, Pei Lin, Wan Xin, Hui Yan and Hui Ting last, last Wednesday. We went to Coronation Plaza for dinner and to Island Creamery for desserts! We shared a mud pie and a whole tub of Burnt Caramel.

The mud pie was nice but the Burnt Caramel tasted more like butter than ice cream. It looks like butter too. Maybe it is. :S

Alright I've been listening to Drift Away by Uncle Kracker. Below is a clip of a handicapped gutarist, Mark Goffeney from San Diego playing Drift Away with his feet. Watch it. It's worth your time. Trust me. This video has actually made me pick up guitar again.

Anyway, went for KidsRead just now. It was my first time conducting a KidsRead session. Me and Yu Yun were quite taken aback because the kids were just so hyperactive. Whoa.. It was scary. I kinda have to shout most of the time and I did find myself quite irritating. It was really chaotic but at least I had a great time working with my partner. :) We'll do better next time. Way to go man!

2008-09-05T23:40:00.006+08:00

Well, I'll be starting work on Monday. Just went down to Orchard to sign the contract today. $6 bucks per hour. :(

I promised to ice skate with Elaine, Pei Yan and Steven next Monday. If there are four of us, it will be cheaper and we get to skate for unlimited hours. Then I also promised Violet, Wei Yang and his friends for a ghost trail around Old Changi Hospital and some other haunted places later at night. I was the one who was so sure about these trips but now I'm the first to back out. I feel so lousy now.

What happened was another agent took over my agent's work when she went on a half-day leave yesterday and placed me in this job mistakenly. So a simple mistake of hers has actually caused me so much trouble and disappointment. Ugh.. I feel like killing her. I can't believe she could still be so nonchalant just now. Damn damn damn.

Anyway after signing the contract, Qiao Ling and I went to Delifrance and had this for our dessert.

Sinful but it cheered me up. Then we went to KK Hospital to visit Jane and her baby.

Cute. No where near my agent.

2008-09-04T21:33:00.007+08:00

Okay this sucks. Went for an interview this morning, for a temp HR admin assistant position at A*Star. The atmosphere was so suffocating. I was being interviewed by 3 people for a two weeks temp assignment!? Can you believe it? I only had to go through a phone interview when I applied for a three months temp admin position at STB.

I felt so out-of-place there. The people didn't seem to be that friendly. Anyway, I met another interviewee who was scheduled after me. (I wasn't supposed to bump into her but since I was late for the whole of 15 minutes, you know.) She is a year one student from School of Business in SP. What a coincidence.

Well, chatted for a while before I was called in for the interview. I gave up half way because I knew they didn't like me - a reject from NTU and NUS. I was told to call my agent after the interview and I did. I told her I would give it a pass and said sorry. That was how I said no tactfully. But guess what? They called me at around 4pm and told me I've report to work next Monday! What? Didn't I said no? I don't want the job. The people there are really scary. I think they chose me because they have no other choice. They needed someone urgently and I kinda have some experience. Even my agent knew I flunk my interview.

I don't know, all of these is really giving me a headache. Anyway, I met up with Yu Yun after the terrible interview and we discussed the stuff we will be doing this Saturday at the KidsRead. It will be our first time conducting the session so I guess it will be kinda exciting. Then met up with Li Yan to do some shopping at AMK Hub. Went to eat at Fish & Co. Had my usual New York Fish & Chips. Then I bought this really pretty green bag and a piece of brownish-green office blouse. Nice nice. At least there's something nice about today.

2008-09-03T22:19:00.016+08:00

August 20, 2008 - The PSP design crew apparently never sits still. During its Games Convention press conference over in Leipzig, Germany, Sony took the wraps off of the much-rumored PSP 3000. The new device has the same base functionality as the current PSP (known as PSP slim, aka the PSP 2000), and in fact looks pretty much the same. However, there are of course a couple new features.

The PSP 3000 will include a built-in microphone for use with Skype and Go Messenger. It will also feature an "enhanced" LCD screen, with more vibrant colors and reduced glare when using it outside.

The system will launch in Europe on October 15th for 199 Euros, with the PSP slim dropping to 169 Euros.

OMG.. Should I wait for the new PSP 3000? I went back to Queensway to help out today and was checking out the prices there after work. The lowest I got for a PSP Slim package was $298. I asked them about the new series and they said we would most probably have to wait a while for it to launch in Singapore and even longer for the geniuses to find ways to crack and modify them. Another guy even said that the prices for the PSP Slim will increase (what?) due to higher demand for modified PSPs since the new PSP 3000 would be too hard to modify or not even able to modify.

Alright, I'm seriously confused now. So is the price going to increase or decrease? Up or down? These people are really out to confuse me. Well, since patience is a virtue, I didn't get mine today. Although I so intended to. What a disappointment. :(

2008-08-31T23:53:00.007+08:00

Alright, I'm back from chalet. I should have realised long ago that the animals at Downtown East hated me as much as I hated them. I was playing volleyball with the girls and Jia Jun when I got lucky with a bird shit. It landed right smack between my index finger and thumb. Damn. And I had a grasshopper on my head, counting the strands of my hair the last time I was there.

My, my. But other than the over friendly mosquitos and the little present from our furry birdy pal, I can happily say I've thoroughly enjoyed the whole three days of the chalet. We even went night cycling on the second night to the Red House but we didn't go in. I wouldn't dare even if they wanted to.

Anyway, I got myself a 320GB Western Digital portable hard drive (My Passport) from Comex today. Yay!

I got the green one. :) $149.90 with free carry case and a backup software. (Plain lucky. I was at the booth at 8.55pm, five minutes before closing time and that's was when they threw in the free software.) Lucky!

2008-08-18T00:31:00.006+08:00

Michael Phelps became the first competitor in the history of the Olympics to win eight gold medals at a single Games as the United States won the men's 4x100m medley relay on Sunday.

With the victory, Phelps overtook compatriot Mark Spitz, who won seven swimming gold medals at Munich in 1972.

Phelps had opened the swimming competition with a victory in the first event, the 400m individual medley, and went on to win the 200m medley, 100m and 200m butterfly, 200m freestyle and both the 4x100m and 4x200m freestyle relays.

Seven of his golds - including the first six - all came with world records, while his seventh, in the 100m butterfly, was by a margin of just one one-hundredth of a second.

In Athens four years ago, Phelps won six gold medals (100m and 200m butterfly, 200 and 400m individual medley, 4x200m freestyle relay and 4x100m medley relay), and two bronze (200m free and 4x100m free relay).

His 14 career gold medals are the most of any Olympian, with his nearest rivals Spitz, athletes Carl Lewis and Paavo Nurmi and Gymnast Larysa Latynina - who all won nine in their careers.

He's definitely my type of guy. I want to marry him!

Attented my cousin's 21st birthday party at CSC today. And she made these for us. Each family has one.

We are the Soh family and there's my name and my brother's (Xiangting and Bao Quan.) Aww.. That's so sweet of her. :)

I guess time really flies. We used to play barbie dolls together and now we are all grown up. I kinda feel a little nostalgic now. (Maybe we should play barbie dolls again some day.)

Anyway, here's my last minute skin design for the Linksys Router.

Phew, at least I managed to come up with one in time. I don't know. I realised I've become more and more last minute. This has always been a bad habit of mine and was part of the reason why I did so badly for my As. Alright, this shall be the last time. No more last minute work for me. No more procastination.

I'm going to dedicate the whole of tomorrow to study java programming. Alright! :)

Hooray to Xiangting!

2008-08-04T21:46:00.005+08:00

Does this photo reminds you of a crime scene and the likes?

Anyway, here's my second DVDE assignment. it looks okay here but the quality sucks after I printed it out! Dang. To think I even spent a dollar fifty on the printing. So not cheap!

Well, last few weeks were crazy. Aisyah and I went to National Sailing Centre for filming for our VAF assignment last, last Saturday. And I had to wake up at 6 plus! Oh man, it was really bad. I hate waking up early. But the filming was really fun. We got to have a ride on a boat to film the sailors.

Then last Monday was my birthday! Whoo hoo.. Went all the way to Kallang Leisure Park for ice skating, and ate Nihon Mura and Azabu Sabo.

Mattcha Zen at Azabu Sabo

And I had a great chat with Elaine on Tuesday after our keyboard lesson. We went to Mac for Green Tea McFlurry! Green tea again! :) Anyway, I realised that we are 99% similar in interests. We both love ice cream waffles, cheesecakes, bubble tea, nature, travelling, ice skating, purple, and music! That's why we signed up for keyboard lessons! However, the scariest and most uncanny thing is that both of us only know a little bit of guitar, (and have I mentioned we both love God of Wonders and Heart of Worship?) but we were never able to master piano. LOL. And we are both 20 and July babies! Ha ha.. Ah.. This is too much of a coincidence! My gosh! And we both have the same chocolate pencil case. Just that hers is dark chocolate and mine is milk chocolate.

Now you believe wierd things do happen. Here's another example. Phoebe, Wen Jie and I were on the bus waiting to alight at the next stop while we were on our way back to school from Queensway Shopping Centre. Then after pressing the bell, Phoebe suddenly had this weird question. She asked if we have ever encountered a time where the bus driver forgot to stop at the bus stop. Both of us said no and the next thing we knew, we just missed ours. Dang.

And here's a good news. I finally sold a painting yesterday! Yay! And I earned myself $31.20. My first comission! :)

2008-07-24T20:40:00.008+08:00

I had a shock of my life when I was looking through my photos! What is Dave doing inside my camera?

Well, someone must have played with my camera during 3D Fundamentals class and actually took a 100% hilarious photo of Dave. Anyway, talking about my camera, I've finally finished modelling it for my first assignment. Ta dah!

Nice, right? Of course! Who am I? But I sent in the ugly one which is the one with the black background cause I didn't know how to render. Well, it's okay. There's always assignment two.

Here's something even nicer!

I was at Clementi interchange, near the old McDonald's the other day. It was raining really heavily and the ground was all flooded. I was walking down the stairs when I saw the reflection of the neon lights from the coffee shop. It looked pretty captivating and so I took it. But, I was given dirty looks when I took this photo cause I was blocking the already crammed passage way.

2008-07-14T20:24:00.006+08:00

Good news! I got a B+ for my first drawing assignment! Yay.. I really thought I was going to get a C when I handed in my drawing. I just didn't have enough time to finish. Xin De was beside me when I was frantically trying to rush through my drawing. Then he said, "Why so white?" I looked back at the paper and got really worried. My drawing was really small and the shading was way too light. Ms Wendy also came and said, "You're so slow." She then helped me with the shadows and tried to darken my shading. Aisyah also came to help me darken it. (Thanks, Aisyah!) See? It was so bad that I needed so many people's help. When time was finally up, I handed in my unfinished piece and knew I was going to get a C.

But in the end, Ms Wendy told me I got a B+ today! I was so shocked that I was expressionless. She looked at me and thought I was disappointed and she tried to console me, "It's quite an okay grade." Ha ha.. Yay to Wendy. Yay to Aisyah. Yay to B+. And yay to me! :)

2008-07-13T22:04:00.008+08:00

I love being busy. It makes me feel that I'm making full use of my time. It makes me feel alive!

Well, sad, sad, sad. I was looking through the sales record today at the art gallery and I found out that only three paintings were sold this month. One on 9 July and another two yesterday (12 July). Gosh, that explains why I haven't been able to earn any commission. Never mind, it's all about the experience. Who cares about the money?

Well sadly, I do. Oh.. Mummy. I'm only earning 5 bucks an hour and since I only work once a week every Sunday for seven hours, that means I'm only earning $140 per month. This measely amount won't be enough to feed a glutton like me.

Okay seriously, I'm taking in donation. Please call 1900-112-500 to donate $500 to Miss Su Xiangting now. Lines are open 24/7. Thank you for your generosity in advance.

By the way, I saw a really cute guy today. If you guys watched Hana Kimi, then you would know Sano. I saw this guy who looked so much like Oguri Shun (Sano) on the train today. He kept looking at me when I was reading yesterday's Today (newspaper). Either he thinks I'm cute or I'm weird. Must be the latter.

2008-07-11T22:41:00.005+08:00

Our class loves jamming and K-ing a lot. We have been going to Moberly for three consecutive days already. LOL..

Anyway, here's the link to my brother's website. You can download his songs for free here! Pretty cool. Check it out!

2008-07-10T10:37:00.011+08:00

I'll be doing a little bit of back blogging here! Went to the Science Centre last, last Friday with Jaslyn. Kinda cool. There were some familiar exhibits but many more newer ones. We went to the Water: H20 = Life exhibition and watched Dinosaurs Alive at the Omni Theatre. I was telling Jaslyn that I want to be a student volunteer when I have the time. I still remember when I was still in Shuqun Secondary School, Mr Liu actually brought some of us to the Science Centre as student volunteers. I was with Crystal and we went around playing and even took the simulator rides for free! Well, those were the days. I feel so old now.

I started my new job last Sunday (29 June 2008) at an art gallery. :) I so love my new job. Although is at Douby Ghaut which it's like so far from my house, but I really enjoy working there. The job scope is pretty simple. All you have to do is to sit there and relax, and just enjoy the paintings. I only have to work on Sundays. Plus, I get to have a 10% commission for every painting sold. BUT I haven't sold a single piece. Gosh, it's been two sessions. Not a single one?

We had movie marathon in SP last Friday from 8pm to 8am. But I had Astro before that so I was late. There was supposed to be an overnight star-gazing session but due to the clouds, it was cancelled. And so two of my Astro friends crashed the movie marathon. However, we only watched one movie - Rogue. The second movie was Ah Long Pte Ltd. But since we have already watched it, we decided to have a night walk in school but when we were at Food Court 5, we actually saw three metors consecutively. And so we rushed to the stadium to catch more metors instead. Then at around 4am, we walked to Clementi Central for breakfast and came back to the red bridge in SP at around 6am for sunrise. Well, it was really fun.

And after all of that, I actually stayed in school for a talk (Basic Care Giving Talk) organised by the SP Mentoring. The speaker was Paul Yuen. He's really nice but he's blind. I did enjoy the talk. It was only supposed to end at 3.30pm but I left early with Deva since I was so, so tired already. I'm not really a person who can remain awake for more than 30 hours. I'm more of a pig. It was really a long day for me but I love it. :)

Anyway, here's a good news! I'm taking up keyboard lessons in SP! Woot! It's freaking cheap. $54 for twelve lessons. Well, I had my second lesson last Tuesday. I was telling Pheobe and Jiajun last week after my first lesson that I want to learn An Jing (Quiet) by Jay Chou but I was only taught the theory. But surprise, surprise! Our second lesson was to learn how to play the chorus of An Jing. Yay.. I'm so in love with keyboard now.

By the way, my dad was surprised when I showed him my drawings. I don't know. Maybe he's always thought I could only draw stick men. Below is two of my only charcoal drawn pieces. The one on the left is my classmate, Darren and the other one is an old man which I drew from a photograph.

Li Ping or Pei Ling actually said the drawing on the left resembles Wu Zun (from Fahrenheit). Ha ha.. But that was only because she was looking at it upside down.

2008-06-30T16:22:00.003+08:00

I can't drink bubble tea anymore. No more gummy, chewy pearls for me. :(

2008-06-28T16:30:00.007+08:00

Don't you guys just love the zoo?

Well, I simply heart the zoo. Just a question for everyone. Do you guys think the animals in the zoo are happy?

I once thought that they are the fortunate ones. They have free lodging, regular eating and bathing times, probably having more than one personal attendants and maids to look after them. They are like celebrities staying in hotels.

But then again, I feel that they may not be exactly happy after all. They are trapped! No different from the criminals serving life sentences in prisons.

2008-06-26T18:35:00.016+08:00

Gossip sites are full of speculation that four of the five cartoon mascots have fulfilled prophesies of doom with one more, connected to the Yangtze River, still to come, the South China Morning Post said.

Jingjing, a panda, is the animal most closely associated with Sichuan province where the earthquake struck.

Huanhuan, a cartoon character with flame-red hair, is being linked by bloggers to the Olympic torch that has been dogged by anti-China protests on its round-the-world tour.

Yingying, an antelope, is an animal confined to the borders of Tibet, which has been the scene of riots and the cause of international protests against China, the bloggers say.

Nini, represented by a kite, is being viewed as a reference to the “kite city” of Weifang, in Shandong, where there was a deadly train crash last month.

That leaves only Beibei, represented by a sturgeon fish, which online doomsayers suggest could indicate a looming disaster in the Yangtze River, the only place where sturgeon is found.

Ha ha.. I don't buy that. What do you guys think? I think these people are just being too superstitious.

2008-06-25T10:59:00.010+08:00

Alright, something absurd happened to me yesterday. I dragged Pei Lin for ice skating since it's cheaper on Tuesdays for ladies. When we were paying for our admission tickets, the counter lady actually asked for our ICs. That made us confused. The student admission ticket cost $15.10 on other days and it is only normal for them to check our Student Passes. But to actually request for our ICs to confirm that we are females? I don't know. It's just hilarious.

2008-06-16T22:30:00.003+08:00

You know maybe it would be better if there is no holidays at all. BUT we should have 3 days off every week. That's to say, we should divide all of our holidays to get an extra day off on top of our weekends. So we will have three days off and four working days every week. It would even be better if we can spread the days off. For example, we can have school on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Then we can play on Sunday, Wenesday and Friday! I'm a genius!

So in conclusion, we should have a four day work week. Yes, you heard it right. Four day work week. Perfect!

Well, I don't think that will ever happen. At least not in Singapore. Dang, my holidays is coming to an end. Ah.. Now I'll have to readapt to school life again. See the problem with holidays? They make you happy with holidays then they make you sad when it ends.

Never mind, I'll just have to enjoy while I can. Camp tomorrow! Gotta go pack.

2008-06-02T20:03:00.009+08:00

My bad. It's been almost a year since my last entry. I'm really glad there are people asking about my blog. This shows that they care. I'm glad. Thanks, so here goes.

STB Work Station

Well, I was really busy working. I just realised that I've stop blogging completely after I started working at Singapore Tourism Board. It was really wonderful working there. But the work can be quite overwhelming. The people there are really nice but the buffet is even nicer. For those who don't know, I've already left Singapore Tourism Board and I'm currently studying in Singapore Polytechnic. I'm doing Digital Media. The course that I really want. I got rejected by both NTU and NUS again. I'm sad of course. But I've got over it. Afterall, I don't think I'll be able to leave my poly friends behind. They are kinda goofy at times. Wacky too. Well, I love them for who they are. They may be younger than me but some of them are quite mature so it's easy to talk to. For the others who are still growing up, well, good for me too. I can be a 16 years-old all over again. I am young at heart!

It's holidays now. I'm glad. That means I can watch as many anime as I can! Yaadaa! But first I need to get my script done. Well, what should I write on?

2007-05-04T23:50:00.002+08:00

Well, I have another job now. As usual, I'm an admin assistant. But oh man.. I'm a receptionist too?! Didn't expect that, right? Neither did I. I hate answering calls. You know that ringing. They are so annoying. Mwhahaha.. And I missed my company bus today because of a call. Ahhh.. Nonetheless, I kinda conquered my phone phobia. Hooray!

Met up with Gloria, Wan Zhen and Ting Ting on Wednesday for Pepper Lunch. Hmmm.. But we had dinner and not lunch. Lolx.. We had fun. Guess we should meet up more often. Yeah, girls?

I used to have two tutees but I let one of them go since I have a full-time job now. But I'm still keeping the other one since his house is only a short 5 minutes walk from my house. And I've told his mom that I'll only be going there once a week, and not twice anymore. I don't want to be a workaholic. Need a life!

2007-04-10T13:08:00.001+08:00

I have a big head and little arms. I'm just not sure how well this plan was thought through. Master? Lmao..

2007-04-07T23:35:00.001+08:00

Hmmm.. So milkshake is just semi-melted ice cream?

Anyhow, let's go eat at Azabu Sabo again!

2007-04-03T13:14:00.001+08:00

I got an assignment! I'm gonna teach a primary one kid English! Mwhahahaa.. What an unlucky kid. I think he's going to do even worse.

2007-04-01T18:45:00.003+08:00

Yay.. Philippines mission trip was fun!

Day one:
We had orientation and cultural immersion. We went to a christian cemetary and the slums.

Day two:
Children's Ministry in Minglanilla. We taught the children the Chicken Dance and it became a hit there! Mwhahaha..

Day three:
Celebration of God's Goodness Fellowship's (CGGF) Anniversary, Lapu Lapu City

Day four:
Dumpsite immersion and Street Feeding. That was the most tiring day.

Day five:
Mountain climbing day! That's the day when I met April and Davis.

Day six:
I was sick in bed while everyone went for island hopping. Humpx..

Day seven:
We went to Immanuel Bible College (IBC) Chapel, after which we went for a light shopping and then we had Thanksgiving Dinner.

Day eight: Bye Cebu!

I'm completely in love with this mission trip. Guess what? We got to travel on four different modes of transport - Trishaw, Jeepney, Tricycle and Horse carriage. And of course my favourite is the horsey! We even tried to eat with our hands. And mind you, there's a standard way of doing it. We did mountain climbing and we visited the dumpsite. We even got to do street feeding. Boy, it's mind blogging!

The children there are so cute, so approachable. Man, I'm missing them already.

I din know this mission trip will have such a deep impact in my life. Whoa.. It's like the mission trip didn't end just there. It has a part two after we came back to Singapore. I'm not sure if you know what I mean but it's certainly a great experience! We even learnt a little Cebuano. So cool, right?

2007-03-15T20:37:00.001+08:00

Bye everyone! Don't miss me! Mwhahahaa..

2007-03-04T23:33:00.001+08:00

Yay.. I can finally have my break now! I left my company last Thursday. Let's see.. How am I feeling now? Happy? Sad? Maybe both. I had a wonderful time there during the past six weeks. The people there are so friendly. Even my boss and my supervisor. Well, I kinda miss the place now.

I left at 10pm that day. Can you believe it? I worked till 10pm on my last day. Well, I had to teach an IA student so I can't really finish all my work. But at least I know someone will be replacing me after I'm gone.

And.. I just got back my A Level results last Friday. I got straight D's. Lolx.. Well, I can't really get into local Universities like NTU and NUS. Hmmm.. Well, I guess I gotta start thinking of where to go already. I have a month or so to decide but I don't think that's enough for me. Anyway, I kept myself really busy these few days to take my mind off this matter. No, it's not running away. I just want to stop worrying and leave everything to God. Yes! He will make a way for me!

2007-02-18T15:22:00.001+08:00

I had a fabulous week at work. Can you believe it? We had two buffets in a single week! The food was really great especially the mini chocolate eclairs and the mini fruit tarts. Yum yum.. I should have taken their photos. And we were given two ang baos on that two days we had buffet! One had ten bucks and the other had two. Hehee..

However, I'm leaving my workplace soon. The people there are really fun. I'm always laughing my ass off but the workload is overwhelming. I've OT every single day. Yeah, there hasn't been a day where I get to go home at 5.30pm except on Saturdays and Sundays.

Well, and another reason is beacuse I'm going to Philippines soon. And I seriously need a break before I set off. I'll look for a new one when I come back, probably early April.

And for the benefit of those who doesn't know what I'm working as or where I'm working at I shall explain now.

I'm doing some admin stuff at Toll Asia (Singapore). And what I do everyday is creating Product Masters, Goods Receipt Advice, Location Transfer, Receiving and Issuing. Bascially the stuff people do in office. I also need to do data entry, photocoping, faxing and even filing too. So that explains why I'm always so busy. Anyway, I've told them I'm only going to work till the end of Febuary but they are wanting an extention from me. I don't know about it yet. We shall see how it goes.

And I really apologise for not replying most of the messages you guys sent me. I just get too tired to reply and my phone is spoilt. I've been trying to get a new one but I just don't have the time. You see, I finally got the money but I can't find the time to get one.

What's even funnier is that I bought all my New Year Clothes within two hours. Can you believe it?! Shopping is supposed to be fun and not in a rush.

Yeah, I've so many stuff I want to blog but you know I'm just too lazy to do that. I shall save some for my next entry.

2007-01-28T23:51:00.001+08:00

Mwhahahaa..

Two of five is rice;
three of five is fries!

Hey people, guess what? I got a job already! Whee.. I'm so, so glad! I get six dollars per hour. Ain't that fantastic but good enough for me.

2007-01-12T02:30:00.001+08:00

Tee hee.. I just love holildays! Alright, I really need to go to bed now. I'm just here to show off to the schoolers that I can afford to wake up at 2pm tomorrow!

2007-01-09T23:07:00.001+08:00

As the chiche goes: "When the US sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold". The problem is that if the eagle has a severe chill, the dragon could catch pneumonia. And when both sick, the global economy is in trouble. Oopsy..

2007-01-05T18:14:00.001+08:00

Whee.. I had fun today! We went to sit, see, slide and suntan at the shipyard! (SSSS) Mwhahaha.. Don't understand what I'm saying? Well, it's okie. Neither do I.

And I earned myself 30 bucks toady! Easy money, huh? All we did was to slide down to the raft and chat all the way. Well, at least that's what I did.

It was supposed to be a four hours job but we slacked for like 3 hours. See I told you, we just had to entertain ourselves. It was so fun! I don't mind working there everyday!

Oh and I had a nightmare today. I dreamt that I was pregnant. What a bizarre dream! Well, I had a tummy ache that's why I dreamt that I was pregnant. It happens all the time right? *shifty eyes*

2007-01-01T14:50:00.001+08:00

Happy New Year! Yay.. Last year was good and I believe this year will be too. Hooray!

Oh yah, and I promised Qiao Lin this: I went to Junction 8! Mwhahahaa.. I love buffet! We went to Lion City Hotel for buffet on Saturday! Yummy.. Food makes me happy!

2006-12-18T18:04:00.001+08:00

Yay.. I love raining days! Whoo hoo..

Alright, I'm still jobless. I'm really picky so that explains why. Hey, they are picky too!

2006-09-23T00:57:00.001+08:00

I'm finally posting again. Yeah, here I am. Alright, Prelims was tough. Really tough. I was so drained after every paper. I'm really glad it's over.

Well, the past few weeks was alright. I was just really tied down by school work. Oh gosh, I'm starting to panick again. I think I did really badly this time. Arrghh.. Not again. I couldn't finish all my papers. What's wrong with me? I did study this time. And I put in much more effort than before. Alright, at least for Maths. I did have some time for Physics but I neglected Chemistry and GP. But I spend most of my time on Maths.

Hey, if I ever see you stealing my Good Progress Award, I'll kill you. Don't you ever do better than me. Wahhh.. there goes my 200 dollars. Oh yah, and we also took part in the Star Struck 2. And guess what? We came in first! Whee.. It was really easy though. We had PCK and Hui Shan in our team so the whole competition was a piece of cake.

Alright, school aside. Family and friends are okay too. No quarrels, no disputes. So yup, nothing much left to say.

Let's talk about my goals! Yeah, my plans after'A' Levels! Well, I want to...

- Learn graphics designing
- Buy Jumping Clay and make lotsa cute stuff
- Go Hong Kong
- Go Korea
- Go star gazing (I can't see anything from my room!)
- Watch all the animes
- Read as many books
- Go job-hopping

Hey, by the way, have you guys heard Jesse McCartney's new song, "Right Where You Want Me"? Is really nice. If you haven't, you should.

Oh and yesterday was really cool. I played hard. Hee..

2006-08-05T19:26:00.001+08:00

I'm in deep shit. I've got to see the principal on Monday and the Vice Principal on Tuesday. Arrgh.. What's happening?

I'm a goner.

2006-07-20T18:04:00.001+08:00

We were told that we have transgressed the universal and social law of obedience. Whoa.. Man! Wonder what that means.

2006-07-18T13:40:00.001+08:00

Yay! I managed to get a new pair of shoes finally. Yippee.. Thanks, Mom! Oh.. It's kinda white, so please, mind where you go. Don't step on it, okie? Or I'll really cry. Heh..

2006-07-15T22:42:00.001+08:00

Arrgh.. I forgot to bring the card. I spent so much time on it and yet I forgot to bring. Damn!

I was quite demoralized today cause I've been failing everything. Even my bible quizes. Sigh.. But today was really fun! I don't know why. But I enjoyed myself. Yup, and today's sermon was on friends! Yay.. I love all of my friends. =)

2006-07-10T23:25:00.001+08:00

Time to wake up. Here's my results.

General Paper - 42/100
Physics - 35/110
Chemistry - 36.9/100
Mathematics - 27/100

Well.. Triple F's. I'm dead. Bang..

2006-07-06T15:06:00.001+08:00

Ho ho ho.. went to the fire conference last Saturday! So so so powerful! I just love conferences. Whee..

Yesterday marked the end of our Mid-year exam. Sigh.. I did really badly for like all of the papers. But at least I got to take my mind off for the whole of yesterday. We went to play Badminton at Joyner's. Yay... Her mom was really friendly. Treated us to marcoroni and durian. Woo hoo..

Mada mada dane. Shouldn't give up just yet.

2006-06-29T17:16:00.001+08:00

So where's my data analysis? Wahhh.. I thought today is supposed to be data analysis so I din really study for Physics. Sob.. Am I that blur? Maybe.. Serve me right for not studying hard enough. But! Mwhahahaha.. at least getting the good progress award isn't a problem now. Whee..

Self consolation.

2006-06-27T19:50:00.001+08:00

I'm saturated, brain dead, and exhausted. Please cancel the exam! Somebody! Anybody!

2006-06-25T22:48:00.001+08:00

I'm finally picking up my guitar again but arrgh.. my fingers are hurting! Why? Simply because I'm trying really hard to play chords F and C. Hey, it's not that easy, okie? And yes, no more G and A. I'm sick of playing those two chords over and over again. It just sounds.. weird. Yup, weird. Really weird.

Hmmm.. And I went Faith Community Baptist Church today. It's at Expo but it's worth it. And they got this envelop saying "Open Only Upon Instruction". So cool, right?

2006-06-21T22:26:00.001+08:00

Our team lost really badly to the other schools. Sigh.. We are nothing compared to them. They are so so so smart. Oh well.. Here are the top three teams for the senior category.

1. National Junior College
2. Victoria Junior College
3. Raffles Junior College

And the top three teams for the junior category are:

1. Bukit Panjang Team 2
2. Bukit Panjang Team 1
3. Hwa Chong Institution

There is really no way for us to beat them. But Team 1 did much better than us. Humpx.. That's not fair. But I must agree, they did work really hard. Well done, guys! Their project even got second! Whoa.. But the observation round sucks. They give us like NCG 2534, then ask us to draw it out. Who in the world would go and memorise the whole catalogue? Oh well, maybe the NJCians but I certainly don't have enough brain cells for that. Arrghh.. It pisses me off everytime I think about it.

But I must say, there's always something to be thankful of. I'm glad that we managed to finish the spacecraft in time. Although we did badly for this competition, it really is a wonderful experience. Not just during the two days competition (intensive, huh?), but the trainings as well. Plus, I get to be the leader. Mwhahahaha.. Finally, I'm a leader! It feels so good commanding people. Oopx.. I'm gonna get stoned. Wahhh...

By the way, today is summer solstice which is the longest day of the year. Din know that? Hahax.. See? I'm smarter than you.

2006-06-17T00:08:00.001+08:00

Arrgh.. I'm sick. Damn.. Anyway, just came back from camp. Woo hoo.. Really great. But arrgh.. i have a really bad heachache now.

2006-06-05T00:32:00.001+08:00

Today is Global Day of Prayer! Whee.. Went to the Indoor Stadium. Lah lah lah..

Camp was really fun although almost everything went wrong. Mwhahaha.. We went to Pulau Ubin for stargazing but then the sky was really cloudy. What a pity. Nonetheless, it was kinda cool. Yup, I'm too tired to elaborate more cause it's already 12.33pm and I need to do research for Astro tomorrow. We'll talk about it another day. So, good night. Heh..

2006-05-30T13:41:00.001+08:00

I lost my house key! Just great! Anyway, Friday's stargazing was okay. We saw some meteors and pointed out some constellations. Nothing really out of this world. And GP paper was tough. But I'm glad it was. Hee.. Cause even if it's easy, I would probably not know how to do anyway. Hahax.. That's my weekend. Period.

Lolx.. I learnt that from Mr Loh. Mwhahahaha.. Yup, period.

2006-05-24T16:53:00.001+08:00

I went to the sick bay today. Mwhahaha.. It was so comfy. Maybe I should do that everyday. Lolx..

Yep, and that's the signal for me to stop eating so much junk food. Grinx..

2006-05-17T20:00:00.001+08:00

My GP tutor shared soemthing really interesting. She said the word irregardless does not exist. That's because if we were to break up the word into three parts, (ir) would mean "the opposite of" and (less) would also mean negativity. Hence, ir-regard-less should mean regard and not regardless.

Lost? Recall what you learnt in Mathematics. Negative x negative = positve! Therefore, irregardless actually means regard. So since we already have regard, how can the existence of irregardless be justified?

And she also mentioned that we like to permutate our words when we are writing AQ. Hahax.. I din know our class loves Mathematics so much.

So coming to a conclusion, we actually need Mathematics to pass GP.

2006-05-13T11:54:00.001+08:00

I thought I couldn't make it for the Astro Challenge because I was one of the lowest for the second quiz. (32/200) Hee.. I did study, okie? And I studied really hard. Alright, now I'm supposed to study constellations. What? You gotta be kidding. I'm worse in that area. Hahax..

Wei Ting: Cosmology
Cynthia: Modern Astronomy and calculations
Kenneth: Solar, Optics and History of Astronomy
Joshua: Stellar Evolution
Xiangting: Stars, Night Sky Objects and Constellations

Mwhahaha.. Happy studying. *Evil Grin*

2006-05-07T12:54:00.001+08:00

5 reasons why I'm sad:

I feel so lost now.

My homework is never-ending.

The T-shrit is due.

My teachers hate me.

I feel so small.

5 reasons why I should be happy:

I still have God to guide me.

My friends have just as much.

I still have Wei Ting to help me.

But everyone else loves me.

But my God is big. (Big + small = Bigger)

2006-04-23T10:40:00.001+08:00

Wow wow wow.. The stars were B E A U-tiful. And we were ultra lucky to be able to catch a fireball (a really big comet!) Heh..

Republic Poly organized a Meteor Watch at East Coast Park yesterday which was truely an eye-opener for all of us. Honestly, yesterday was my first time seeing a comet. Hahax.. and it was.. indescribable. I was practically staring at Jupiter the whole night. And it paid off. Hee.. lah lah lah.. The sky was really clear and it felt so relaxing. We were all lying down, looking up at the hundred of stars and feeling the gentle breeze. What more can I say? It was truely amazing.

2006-04-21T23:53:00.001+08:00

Ho ho ho.. I can't believe it. I'm the second highest for the astro quiz. But you know what, I got like 62/120. Lolx.. Anyway, I'm going for another star-gazing session tomorrow! Yippee.. and there'll be a meteor shower at around midnight. Hahax.. Isn't it great? But I just hope the sky will be clear by then. It's has been raining the past few days. Wait a minute, did God mistaken the song Rain Down On Me by Planet Shakers as a literal pour? Whahaha.. gosh.. I din know what terrible mistake I've made. Guess what, I have been singing that song for the past few weeks now. Oopx..

2006-04-18T20:37:00.001+08:00

I'm really trying my best to read the bible everyday. But I have so many tests and tutorials. Anyway, I've been failing all of my tests. It's really time to buck up man! I've got like 7/25 for my recent Maths test. Sigh..

Yup, and last week mime was.. not too bad. But I couldn't really feel much of God's presence. Probably because we practised too much. And I'm going deaf. Please speak louder, guys! I can't hear you!

2006-04-09T16:24:00.001+08:00

Hey you! Yes, you! There'll be a Good Friday Special Combined Service this coming Friday, 14 April 2006 at 10am. The theme will be "It is finished!" Do come and join us at Zion Full Gospel Church. (44 Hoot Kiam Road. Singapore 67337943)

It will be really fun! Plus, I'll be performing. Mwhahaha.. Yes, I'm not lying. I'm allowed to perform. And no, I won't be a tree or a rock. Anyone who is interested, be it believers or non-believers are all welcomed. Cya there!

2006-04-02T21:41:00.001+08:00

Yup, I was really childish last week. Woo.. I'm cool now. Don't worry. I'm back. Mwhahahaha..

Yesh.. For every minute I'm angry, I'll lose sixty seconds of happiness. So.. You people are forgiven. Yesh.. You, you, you and YOU!

2006-03-30T15:14:00.001+08:00

I have my own reasons for not going to school. I know, I'm hard to understand.

2006-03-26T19:46:00.001+08:00

Hooray.. I did it! A girl professed yesterday. Woo hoo.. It's been ages since I last evangelise.

You know, people make mistakes once in a while. I just happen to make a (very) stupid mistake by writing my own particulars on other people's certificate. It's really nothing, right? Oh, okie. You look like you are going to have a fit. Hey, stop laughing!

Yesterday's star gazing session was great although it was rather tiring. I managed to look at Jewel Box, Saturn and its system rings, Jupiter and the Galilean moons. Whoa.. I had no idea how little I knew. Never mind, at least now I know some of the very basic terms. And because it almost rained yesterday, we were forced to get inside. Humpx.. What a waste! I was planning to take a short nap so that I could catch Trifid and Lagoon nebula at around 3am. Oh well, better luck next time.

It became a little boring after we went inside, so me and my twin went out to the track and looked at the lightnings (for me) and highway (for her). We chatted for a while and we fell asleep in the middle of the running tracks. Lolx.. Well, it was fun as a whole.

2006-03-24T23:55:00.001+08:00

I was ultra slack during these two weeks although it was CA. Haw haw haw.. alright, alright, I'm all ready to see red marks next week.

Oh, and I can't imagine so many people turned up for Astro today. The training started very late, at around 6.30pm and the J1s were released at 12.30pm. Really, I've got nothing to say.

Yeah.. Tomorrow is going be a busy day for me. I'm still thinking whether I should head home first and get a shower before going for the Astro camp. Hmmm.. Should I? Or not? Well, well, well, this is so much harder than today's Physics paper.

2006-03-19T18:38:00.001+08:00

The Creative Camp rocks big time man. Woo hoo.. I love it! We had such a wonderful time churning our creative juices while worshiping the Lord. And the best thing is to be able to learn miming and acting. Yeah..

The only tiring thing was to try bathing within 5 minutes everyday which was really impossible for me. Hahax.. But I almost did it. Almost. Really, everything about the camp was fun. Heh.. Din regret a single bit for giving up my three days to study. Hmmmm.. I'm thinking of going to the June one now. Lah lah lah..

And I'm finally baptised. Don't play-play, okie? Just one problem, I haven't even touch my Chemistry. Oopx.. What to do? Chiong arhx..

2006-03-11T23:29:00.001+08:00

Wait a minute! Why is the studio so messy? Arrgh.. Don't wanna go architecture anymore. I'm going to the Faculty of Science. Whee..

Went to the NUS Open House with Ya Wen today. It was fun man although we spent most of the time waiting for the shuttle bus. At least I got to look at the studios in the School of Design and Environment. Whoa.. I don't think I can handle that course. Nevermind, so it's either I choose Akid or Science. Oh, and they offer astro module as well. Whahahaha.. Just right for me. In the end, I was late for church. AGAIN! Gotta try to be early next week.

Yesterday was super hardcore. The Road Run was.. nah.. no comments. But yesterday's astro lesson was fun! I love Issac Newton man! He rocks!

Alright, and iCAN Camp is on Thursday. Which means I only have a few days left to prepare for the three costumes. Oh man, why does this remind me of the ampitude test?

2006-03-04T09:20:00.001+08:00

Oh gosh, I'm really tired now. I've been studying for the past 24 hours. Astro lessons ended at around 9pm and me and Pei Ling went for a study marathon at Macdonald's right after that. Can you imagine it? We 'studied' from 11pm till 6am this morning. It wasn't that productive and I din even manage to finish a single tutorial. I was like eating and chatting all the time (and writing and erasing all at the same time.) Whahaha.. It was truely fun. You people should try that. But lemme warn you first, it's really, extremely cold at night. Brrr.. Really cannot make it. Should have listened to my twin and brought my sweater along.

Arrghh.. My chinese results was.. sigh.. never mind, I shall work harder next time. Next, please..

I saw Ann Gee and Jing Hui at the DBS Arts Centre last Friday. Oh boy, I miss them so much! That's a little consolation for that dumb play. I can't even understand a single thing except that part when Leopold and Leob kissed. Yucks.. All right, got to sleep now. I'm ultra tired.

2006-02-17T23:21:00.001+08:00

Happy birthday all January and February babies!

Did some catching up with Yong Hui today. Hahax.. I'm so proud of her. Can you believe it? She got 4As! I mean, wow! 4As. Not bad, not bad. And she treated me to Ajisen. Yummy.. Mwhahaha.. Thanks, honey.

I was planning to go for Astro today but I was stucked at Lot 1. It was pouring really heavily and I didn't have any umbrella with me. I called PCK and told him about my situation. He was very sweet and accepted my apology. Cool dude. I really don't know how to thank him. I've been MIA for so many meetings. Consecutively. That explains why I feel so bad. I promise I'll turn up for the next meeting.

What is really bad is that migraine. It's killing me. Arrghh.. Stop it. Just stop it! Somebody? And that pain from my kneecap is getting a little too painful for me. Ouch. I still can't believe I ran 7 rounds yesterday with that kind of headache and worn off kneecap. What a week. And my throat is sore. I can't sing! Count you people lucky. But I'll be back. Mwhahaha.. Very soon.

2006-02-11T23:10:00.001+08:00

Had lotsa fun today. Went church in the afternoon and celebrated Friendship Day. Hah.. We had this presents exchange thingy where we were each given a secret friend. Quite cool and I got a really nice notebook! Yippee..

After which I attended a family gathering and celebrated Chinese Valentines Day (yuanxiao) at Guilin Restaurant. They served pretty scumptious food. Yum yum.. We had Beijing Duck, Yu Sheng, rice balls and other mouth-watering yummies yummies. Hehee.. Cool, huh?

Oh, and yup, congratulation to those who did well in their 'O' Levels. My Chinese 'A' Levels results is almost out too. Wonder how will I do. Hee.. I hope I can get at least an A2. Am I asking too much? Yeah? Just pray hard for me.

2006-02-03T22:00:00.001+08:00

I guess I'm just not suitable for Taekwondo. It's so hard. Really, I don't think I can make it to the competition. Imagine me inside a competition. People will laugh their ass out. But I will still continue with my lesson. Afterall, I paid for it.

And guess who I saw today? Rui En and Julian Hee. Whoa... He is so cute. I was standing there, waiting for him to notice me. I won't say he din. He did. But only for a fraction of a second. He was filming at Causeway Point. And he seemed real tired. Poor chap. Rui En was pretty too but I'm straight. I spent most of my time goggling at Julian instead. Hey, don't look at me like that! The other girls were drooling too.

Yup, and school is well, not so bad. We had a movie today. A movie starring Tobey Maguire. Not that great, but worth my time. I could well say I've learnt many lessons from the movie. That's all for now, nothing really exciting this week. Oh wait, our school has got another superstar. Alson Soh from 05S23. He is releasing his debut album next week. Hmmm.. I wonder if he can really sing. He has got the looks but I've never heard him sing. Alright, that really is all.

2006-01-20T17:54:00.001+08:00

Ahh Choo.. Excuse me. Wahhhh.. Imagine a whole week of block nose and flu. Who on earth have been scolding me? Such a terrible week. I've been sleeping like 9 hours a day which is a no-no thing for a JC student. No wonder I can't finish my tutorials.

I had two tests this week. One of which i'm pretty sure I would never make it above 10. Alamak.. Should have memorised more and slept less. Oink. Okie, what I should really do now is to eat that curry puff I've just bought from the pasar malem, take a shower, watch Naruto, practise my guitar, flip through my notes and then good night. So many things yet so LITTLE time. How I wish I could have 3 hours more everyday.

2006-01-15T01:01:00.001+08:00

I felt like a fool. Or rather, I still feel like a fool. Wahhh.. Stupid game. I wonder who was the one who invented this 'Truth or Dare' game.

2006-01-06T22:11:00.001+08:00

I've been thinking the whole week. Architecture is probably not suitable for me. So I shouldn't be repeating J1 just because I wanna get into that course. It's too risky. Apart from that, Miss Lim said if I can't manage Geography this year, I would probably get kicked out of the college. Gee.. sounds pretty serious, huh?

Anyway, this week has been really hectic for me. I can't believe I still have so many tutorials to finish. Oh man.. There goes my another day of sleep. Hahax.. Just kidding, what can be more important than my beauty sleep?

2006-01-02T21:24:00.001+08:00

I bought a new guitar! Yahoo.. It cost me 200 bucks! Amazing, isn't it? It comes with a hard case, guitar strap and everything. It's good for a $200 guitar. My brother said it was a good deal. So it is a good deal. Ho ho ho.. So, hmmm.. Is this considered a Christmas gift from God?
