Cheesy moments

Invited HuiJun over for cheesecake this afternoon. She said my cheesecake tasted like yogurt. I think yogurt is nice but she found it weird. Anyway, she brought the Harry Potter books I wanted. Thank you, my dear cousin! HeE~! We talked about what to do after her examinations. Though it is a bit early since the written papers have not even start, it was fun planning for our 'great expedition'. HaHa~! Already looking forward to the end of her examinations. =P
















Jaslyn didn't do the homework I gave her again. Spent the whole session teaching how to do the questions. I just can't stop her from talking. She always have something to talk about even when we don't bring it up. SiGh~! Hopefully she will do well for the upcoming Mathematics examination.

Ups and Downs

Was at Causeway Point this afternoon. Went to Popular to get some primary 3 assessment books and guides for Jaslyn. Ended up with $68.28 worth of books. Gotta call her mommy to get approval before I buy. I am lucky that she is quite generous when it comes to her daughter's academic performance. Just in case you were thinking that all parents should be, my twin students' parents are not.

Speaking of the Lee's makes my blood boils. It is the 8th lesson today. My pay day. Today's lesson was quite normal, with the usual deobedience. As promised, I brought lollipop for them. Mrs Lee was not very happy about that. She told me not to bring them sweets anymore. I wanted to ask her how to control her two precious boys without sweets when sweets are like everything in the world to them. I kept that to myself and smiled at her. After the lesson, she asked me why aren't I teaching them grammar and vocabulary. I couldn't take it anymore! I told her straight in the face that her children aren't fast enough for that. They can't even speak properly! Then she ask me how long will it take for me to finish teaching phonics. It will of course depend on the students' learning ability! Honestly, it will take a long time for them to grasp that. I told her it will take time as their foundation needs to be strengthened before they can learn new things. She 'questioned' me for quite a while before sending me to the door, without the money. I had to remind her that it is the 8th lesson today. She still had the cheek to ask me "Is it?" ArGh~! She went in to take the money and continued 'questioning' me. All the while she held the money in her hands tightly. I kept looking at my watch, trying to hint to her my intention to leave. She finally let go of her tight grip after 15 minutes and handed me the money. SiGh~!

Heard some really bad news when I got home. Aunt Kee passed on after a long and painful battle with cancer. Wasn't very close to her but was still quite sad. She used to dote on me when I was little. I remember playing masak-masak with the ornaments in her house and she never scolds me for doing that, only asked me to put them back in their original positions after playing. In my memory, she was a kind and graceful lady. It is a pity she passed on at such young age. HaI~!

HuiJun asked if I wanna watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with her after her A'level. Had to turn her down 'coz I have agreed to watch it with my best friends. I think this is the first time I am not watching a Harry Potter movie with her. Well, there've gotta be a first time. =X

*IrEnE lOoKs At ThE tImE nOw* It is getting late. Time for bed. Goodnight!

Rag-a-bone

Some Karang Guni man came to my house to get my old computers just now. The price had been agreed upon before he came. It was agreed that my Pentium II will go at $20 and my Pentium III at $50. Since both computers were self-assembled, there was no sticker/label to indicate the processor version. He came and roughly scan through the two computers and said that he can only offer $20 for each of them as there is no indication of the processor version . I almost threw him out with a broomstick! Had I known he is going to offer $20 for a Pentium III computer, I would not have wanted to sell it to him! $20 is an insult! Do I look like I need $20 to survive the day? Talked to his boss and he too gave the stupid explanation that there is no sticker/label to indicate the processor version. I almost exploded. I was so angry I shouted at him. He said I was rude to him. Hello! Who is it who made me angry? Who is the dishonest businessman here? Even if I was rude, which I don't think I was, he should not have made that remark. I was his customer. He then said he don't want any of the computers anymore. What kinda customer service is that? His business will not stay long if he treats his customers this way. Who would wanna sell their used computers to him? I know I won't and never will! Too bad I didn't get his company name, or I will definitely give him free publicity. What a jerk! Called a shop in Sim Lim Square and he offered $50 for my Pentium III computer after I told him its condition. He will be coming over in the evening tomorrow. Hopefully he is sincere about the offer he made.

Cards

It was Miss Goh's last lecture with us yesterday. She will be relocating to KL with effect from November. Time passed quickly and soon it was time to say goodbye. Quite sad that she is leaving. PBF was quite fun with her around. I can still remember her on the first lecture she conducted. The M&Ms. HaHa~! Just kidding. She made the boring topic more entertaining. It was fun watching her small body making big movements. Really miss her and her lectures. I wonder what kind of person will the new co-lecturer, Mr Jonathan Peh be like. I think it will take me some time to adjust to the changes. SiGh~!

Received two letters for me yesterday. A big one and a small one. The big one was a local mail and the small one is an air mail. I wondered who they were from. Then I saw the return address written on the backs of the envelopes. I immediately knew who the senders were. I quickly opened up the envelopes. Inside the envelopes were birthday cards. The big card was from my dear Tinky, XiangHong. The card was handmade by her! I was so touched! It was a colourful card with a short message in it. Love it. HeE~! The smaller card was from dearest EeHui who is currently studying in Australia. Sweet design. There were three packages printed on the card. The front cover was especially shiny with all that glitter. The blue, purple and pink colour scheme of the card made it look sweet. I like it. Was quite surprised to receive a birthday card from EeHui. Didn't expect her to send me one all the way from Australia. Then I read the long message she penned inside the card. She was too nice and so had to get me a card. HaHa~! Miss her. Wonder when she will be back in Singapore so that we can have another gathering or another night long mahjong session. HaHa~!

Our first IBM assignment was given back to us this morning. I didn't score well. Just pass. I don't understand what he wanted me to discuss when the question says describe, which I did. Then I realised that my examples were not good enough. I just have to work harder for the next assignment. SiGh~!

It is hard to organise an outing with everyone having such different schedule. Can't have it in the afternoon during weekdays 'coz Pauline gotta work. Can't have it in the evening during weekdays 'coz I gotta teach. Might have to settle for midnight shows and supper then. Hopefully we'll be able to get approval from our parents. Really miss all of them.

There is a PBF test on November 9. Two whole chapters and I have not study. SiGh~!

Happy 19th Birthday!

I am 19 today! HeE~!

Went to tutor Charlene in the morning. I was late by 15 minutes 'coz I missed the bus. Tuition with Charlene went well. Gave her lots of homework since examination starts next week. HaHa~!

Had lunch at LJS after tuition. Ordered Combo 1. The chicken pieces were so damn small and there were so little fries! Should have gone over to BK and order a Big Fish. SiGh~!

Tuition with YuShan started at 2PM. Gave her a test. The questions were quite easy but she didn't score well. In fact, she didn't pass. She only scored 21/47. No good.

Went to EngWah @Sun Plaza to meet RouShen after leaving YuShan's place. She and Pauline bought me a silver bracelet for my birthday. HeE~! It is lovely. =) Didn't stay for long. Had to leave for dinner with my family.

Dinner was at Chye Lai. The food was so-so. It is not as good now as compared to last time.

Went home after dinner to cut the cake. The birthday cake was from Prima Deli. Not my favourite Chocolate Fudge though. It is a Strawberry ShortCake.





























































Notice my right eye? The blood clot is still there and it is so ugly! ArGh~! Hopefully it will go away in one week just like the doctor said. HaI~!

A long walk

Went home by foot today. All the way from Charlene's place in Woodlands to my house in Admiralty. Got two big blisters on my feet now. OuCh~!

Charlene's grandmother told me that the woman who passed away on Saturday because of dengue fever is her brother's wife. HaI~! She was gone just like that. Life is so fragile. Just a little mosquito bite can be so fatal. People should learn to cherish their life more and treasure their loved ones before it is too late. SiGh~!

Will be meeting RouShen at her work place tomorrow after tutoring YuShan.

YuShan got B4 for her Maths SA. She said her personal record was C5. Though it is only an improvement of one grade, I am still happy. At least she didn't score worse. =)

I will be officially 19 tomorrow! It is my birthday. =)

Sore Eyes

*SoBz* As if my eyes are not red enough. I have just been diagnosed with SORE EYES by the doctor at The Jurong Dispensary, a clinic at Clementi Central. JiaRui went with me. We left the PBF class together during break 'coz my eyes were so red that I couldn't see clearly. JiaRui left with me 'coz she didn't wanna sit in the lesson anymore. HaHa~! Took a bus to Clementi Central and began searching for a clinic. No clinic in sight, only a dispensary. We didn't think that it was a clinic until we saw the 'Consultation Hours' sign outside the dispensary. Waited for a while and saw the doctor. He checked my eyes and said immediately, "Sore eyes." He said that my eyes should be fine in two days but the blood clot will take a week to go away. Now I gotta walk around with 'bleeding' eyes for one week. SiGh~! I was out of the consultation room in less than five minutes. The doctor prescribed a bottle of anti-inflammatory eye drops and some tablets to reduce the irritation. The total bill came up to $22. That was expensive for a less than five minutes consultation! SiGh~!

It is my birthday this Saturday and I haven't think of what I want for my birthday present. Maybe I'll just ask for cash if I still can't think of any on Friday.

Oh-oh!

JiaRui gave me a call last evening. She said she wanted to kill me. I was wondering what did I do again. She told me that the sales girl at The Face Shop said that they are still giving away posters of Kwon Sang Woo with the purchase of a bottle of perfume. I was like, "HuH~?! Are you sure?" I was told a different thing when I was there on Thursday. I even asked the sales girl twice! SiGh~! Fortunately, JiaRui already cooled down when I call her again. PhEw~!

I realised that my students like me too much. One of them wants tuition three times a week, the other wants me to stay longer every lesson. Hello! I am not sold. I must have my own personal space, without students! SiGh~! I better keep my distance before they demand more of me. =X

Finally, it is rest day. I feel better now. Imagine giving tuition twenty-four-seven, I can really walk like a corpse everyday. No life! I just need one more high value student to replace the twins and that's it, enough.

Went to a coffeeshop in Yishun for breakfast this morning. Ordered teh-sih. Only one word to describe that cup of teh-sih, YUCK! The tea was too strong. I can't taste the milk at all. Had a terrible stomachache after drinking that. I am never gonna drink anything from that coffeeshop ever again.

Watched Corpse Bride just now. It was OK. I was expecting something better though.

It had been raining since morning. Nice weather. I love it!

The Face Shop

Went to The Face Shop yesterday. Bought two bottles of nail supplement. Asked the sales girl about the Kwon Sang Woo poster. She said that it doesn't come with the purchase of the perfume anymore. The only way to get the poster is to spend $60 and above in a single receipt. Told JiaRui about it. She went "What?!?!" Can tell that she is pretty upset about that. HaHa~!

Maths lecture was unbearable. Sat beside Cindy and Velda. They were talking non-stop. JiaRui said they were like mosquitoes. She had blacklisted them. HaHa~!

Cleared my computer table in the afternoon with the help of daddy. He moved the printer away. Finally, I have a proper place to work at now. No more lying on the bed with my laptop and getting backaches. =) More cleaning to be done tomorrow. It's gonna be a busy day. HaI~!

Went for tuition at the Lee's. Almost fainted there. The twins were too much for me to handle. Gotta get the elder one to do his homework while teaching the younger one to do his maths correctly. SiGh~! I don't mind those if I am paid more, but for $8.75 per hour, no thanks! I already felt like quitting this assignment on the very first lesson, for various reasons. The location is rather inaccessible. I hate walking such long distance between blocks of flats, especially after nightfall. Another reason being the agent withheld some information when she gave me the assignment. She did not tell me it is twins. I would not have accepted the assignment had she told me the details. ArGh~!

Tomorrow's schedule is kinda tight. Gotta tutor Geraldine at 11AM, YuShan at 2PM and Jaslyn at 8PM. Tiring.

Malaysia again

Was joined by MayHui on the way to school this morning. Was quite surprised to see her. We arranged to meet at Jurong East MRT after class. We were early. A train was already waiting at the middle platform when we were there. MayHui came just as the doors were about to close. She dashed into the train and the doors closed, leaving me and JiaRui outside. We were laughing like mad. HaHa~! We 'reunited' at Bukit Batok. We continued chatting along the way until MayHui and JiaRui alighted at Woodlands.

I went home to get my passport and left the house again after 15 minutes. Met up with HuiJun on bus 965 and we went to Malaysia together. I bought Lucidol hair wax, 2 Winnie The Pooh files and 5 Loony Tunes notebooks. Had lunch at MacDonald's. Wanted to catch a movie at Mega Pavillion but HuiJun didn't wanna watch the available shows 'coz she don't dare to watch horror movies. SiGh~! Left City Square at about 6PM. There was a bad traffic jam at the causeway. Took us some time before we finally reach the checkpoint. Went to Burger King @Causeway Point for dinner. We went home together after HuiJun got her nail buffer from Chameleon.

Hogwarts

HuiJun's preliminary examinations will end this Thursday. Will be meeting her on Friday. We have not decide on where to go yet. Maybe Malaysia. Maybe Orchard. Don't know. Might be going to Escape with her on Sunday. Hope she is fine. She SMS-ed me last Thursday, asked me if we could have a chat. She called me and we talked. She was very worried about A'level. After chatting for a while, she suddenly cried. She was very agitated. I was accused of not putting myself in her shoes. I felt anger. I refuted. As a matter of fact, I was like her this time last year. I too was stressed and worried. The tertiary education I am receiving now don't come easy. The cost is already enough to hammer me down to Earth. After forking out close to $4K out of my own pockets, I am still debt-ridden. After telling her all these, she told me that she can do that easily by working during the break. She is assuming that she will get a job that pays as well or she will get the same job as I did, and she will do as much OT as I did. SiGh~! She don't understand. Anyway, no point telling her all these now. I just hope she gets through the rough time.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is coming soon! It will be released in Singapore on 17 November. YeAh~! I've been looking forward to it since they announced the filiming of the movie. It is finally here! HeE~!

Yan is back! YiPpEe~! After such a long while, it sure is nice to hear from her again. HeE~! We should have a gathering to celebrate Yan's return. Shall talk about it with Pauline later. ^_^

Fritters and Soya Milk

Went to IMM on Saturday. Daddy wanted to get something from Hoe Kee. Lin Jun Jie was there too. Didn't see much of his performance 'coz it was too crowded and I am too short. Caught a glimpse of him when I was on the escalator. He was wearing a pink jacket. I thought it was cool. When I saw him, he was singing Dou Jiang You Tiao and the crowd was screaming like mad. It was nice to hear him sing that song, live. It is one of my favourite songs. =)

Dinner was at Tiong Bahru hawker centre. Had Satay BeeHoon, Char Kway Teow, Fried Oyster, Chwee Kueh and Pau. Wonderful! =)

Was in Malaysia yesterday. Visited the salon and got my stylist to cut my hair. I am very satisfied with my new hairstyle. Excellent stylist. =)











Went to City Square after that. There were a lot of people. Didn't buy anything. It was the first time I go shopping without buying anything. Great! =)

There was a terrible jam at the causeway and we were stuck for about an hour. When we finally reach the checkpoint, the custom officer asked me if I am the person in the passport. -_- Don't I look like myself? SiGh~!

Reached home at about 8PM. Watched TV non-stop till 11PM. Channel U was showing Makings of The Maid at 830PM and Love Me, Love My Money at 9PM.

Watched The Maid on Friday. I think that the guy who played Ah Soon is a great actor. He really looked and behaved like a mentally retarded boy in the movie. Anyway, the film was very well done. It gave me nightmare the very night I watched it. It had been some time since I last got nightmare after watching a horror movie.

After taking my bath, I continued watching TV. Channel 8 was showing My Date With A Vampire III. The show ended at 1AM and that is the time I go to bed.

Feeling wasted now. Spent my term break lazing around. SiGh~!

End Start Future

Classes will start again next Tuesday. Haven't been doing my assignments since Monday. I am still left with half an essay for IBM and one full essay for PBF. I am not able to finish the IBM essay 'coz I do not have enough information to the second part of the question. Will go to the library on Tuesday to find that book by Rosemary Stewart. As for PBF, I am just too lazy to complete it. Anyway, deadline for PBF is 29 September. Not urgent. HeE~!

Pauline popped by last night. She came over to pass me the cheese cake recipe. We watched TV together and I showed her the photographs we took in Bali. So sweet of her to come all the way to my house specially just to pass me the recipe. HeE~! The last time I saw her was one month ago when I asked her uncle to help me fix my Acer Travelmate T630. Miss her! =)

Shopping Queen

Was in Bugis yesterday. Had lunch at LJS. Ate fish with fiery black pepper sauce and rice. It tasted OK. I'll give it 6/10. Went to the temple after lunch, offered joss sticks and left. Walked around OG after that. It is the membership season again. For every $75 spent in a single receipt, the shopper will be entitled to an OG membership card valid for one year. Saw a few skirts and a denim jacket that I really like. I had the impulse to buy them all and get that membership card but realised I shouldn't be spending so much since my income has significantly reduced. Might go again with mommy today so that we can share cost. HeE~!

Charlene's grandma called me on Thursday asking if I wanna tutor Shermaine too. Shermaine is Charlene's elder sister. I was asked to tutor her for Mathematics. She already has a tutor for English, Mathematics and Science but her results had been deproving since they engaged this tutor. Her parents were quite disappointed with her performance and wanted to change the tutor. Since I am tutoring Charlene and she likes me, they want me to tutor Shermaine as well. However, Shermaine didn't want to change tutor. Her parents said they will talk to the girl again. I can tell that her parents really wanted to get a new tutor for their elder daughter. Hopefully I get this assignment so that I can have extra income, but it all depends on Shermaine. No point forcing the girl to change her tutor when she do not want to. I think it might even affect her results.

Going tutor YuShan at 2PM. It is starting to rain now. Will have a problem getting to her place later. SiGh~!

Contradiction

I hate him. I really hate him. I hate him so much that I will give him a tight slap immediately if I ever see him again. I hate him to the core. I don't understand why I still give a damn about him.

I accidentally found out that he is having problems with his current girlfriend. I realised I was smiling. Inside me, I was laughing. Laughing at his plight. Laughing at him for being a clown in front of his new girl. His childish, immature, act-cute, domineering girlfriend. I am glad I didn't cry for him. He is not worthy of my tears. It was his loss, not mine.

I still feel disgusted when I think about what he used to say to me. Those disgusting professions. Those RUBBISH.

I HATE HIM.

Basic Theory Test

Went to SSDC to take my Basic Theory Test(BTT) today. Had to leave my IBM lecture before it actually ends. I was surprised Mr Nageb actually allowed me to leave early and even wished me luck. I was actually expecting a scolding from him for asking if class will be extended today. PhEw~! Anyway, I passed the test. YeAh~! Don't think I am applying for the PDL anytime soon. Maybe after my income has stabilised. No spare cash to take the practical lessons yet. =(

Was supposed to tutor a Primary 3 boy yesterday morning but I was told to go home when I reach the place. It turned out that the same agency had arranged for another tutor to give tuition to the same kid. ArGh~! I was so angry that I called the tuition agency immediately and gave them a big scolding. The agent who offered me the assignment wasn't around when I called in the morning, so I kept calling the agency until the agent picked up the call. I think I called them about five times and all she could tell me was that she will check and call me back. SiGh~! About an hour later, the agent called again. She asked if I was interested in an assignment which will start today at 3PM. She did not tell me the rate, neither did she tell me the level nor the subject. I can't accept the assignment as my BTT starts at 2PM today. She said she will check again and call me back at 1230PM today. So far, I have not receive any call from her today. HaI~!

Going to tutor a Primary 1 girl tonight. This is the second time I am seeing her. Had our first lesson on Tuesday evening. She is a very quiet girl. I think she opened her mouth for less than five times that night. When I tried to make her talk, she just smiled at me. I hope we can interact more tonight.

Might be going to Daiso tomorrow. Suddenly feel like spending money. HaHa~! Haven't been buying anything for myself these days. Not feeling too good now.

Boy and Girl

1. When a girl keeps smiling at you, it means she likes you.
2. When a girl does not reply your SMS for after a few hours, it means she is angry with you. Go think about what you have just said or done to her.
3. When a girl takes the initiative to kiss you, it means she likes you a lot.
4. When a girl repeatedly asks if you like her, tell her the truth, don't beat about the bush.
5. If you want to reject a girl, tell her clearly, face to face.
6. If you have already thought it over carefully, then don't give the girl false hopes.
7. If you really like the girl, show it to her. You are a guy. Take the initiative.
8. Most girls are generally weaker than guys, so don't walk too fast when you are with her.
9. If a girl takes the initiative to ask you out, it means she likes u.
10. If a girl takes the initiative to SMS you in the middle of a lesson, no use asking her to concentrate.
11. Don't let the girl take the initiative to ask you out all the time!
12. When she asks "What are you doing?", it means she can't wait to come over and keep you company or she wants you to talk to her.
13. Don't be so block-headed when you are with her. She might be dropping you a hint.
14. A girl likes you to show some concern when she is down.
15. Don't stuff her with food, 'coz you know girls like to be slim.
16. If a girl keeps all the SMS you have sent her, it means she likes you a lot.
17. If a girl refuse to watch your soccer match, it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t like you. She is just not prepared to meet your friends. Give her more time.
18. If a girl always take the initiative to send you an instant message when you are online, it means that she is interested in you. If you like her, don't let her take the initiative all the time.
19. If a girl dreams of you in her sleep, and wakes up crying, it means she is scared that she will lose you.
20. If a girl takes the effort to type all the 20 sentences out for you to read, it means that you matter a lot to her.

I got this from a friend's blog. I didn't get her permission to reproduce this in my blog though. =P To protect her identity, I shall not mention her name here. I think these are what girls expect their boyfriends to know when they are attached. Though I am single now, I totally agree with her. Sadly, most guys do not realise these little details until it is being spelt out clearly for them. SiGh~!

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory

Was informed of a tuition assignment on Friday. The student is a Sec 2 girl currently studying at Chung Cheng High School. Subject is E-Maths. Once a week, each time 2 hours. Every Saturday, 2PM. Went for it yesterday. Tuition was fine. Went through her test papers, found that she made a lot of careless mistakes, which was one of the reasons why she scored low marks. She had problems with algebraic manipulation. Went through many questions with her and tried to make her see the pattern. Guided her through most of the questions until she was confident enough to solve it herself. Gave her some questions to practice. Will be checking them through when I go next week.

That was my first tuition assignment. I am so glad I pulled through. ^_^ I still can't believe that I am a tutor now. I can still remember myself struggling with those Maths questions when I was a Sec 2 student myself. It seems as though it was only yesterday. Hai~! Suddenly realised that I have grown up. Not a kid anymore. I miss those days when I had no responsibilities. I was so carefree. Time flies. There is no turning back now. I can only make the best of what I have now and enjoy it while I still can. Maybe that was the reason why tears rolled down my cheek involuntarily when I was watching the NDP replay yesterday. The kids were singing a song titled "Counting Wishes". The kids were so pure and innocent. They seem to have no worries at all. I can never be like them anymore. SiGh~!

Watched Charlie and The Chocolate Factory last night. It was an interesting movie with a touching but happy ending. I love it! In fact, I wanna watch it again! HeE~!

Finished watching Good Luck! just now. ShinKhai had promised Ogawa that he will take her up into the sky to watch the most beautiful sunrise, and he did. So sweet! Well, that is not likely to happen in real life. Actually, I do not expect a lot. I only hope to watch the sunrise together with my beloved everyday, though it would be nice if he will do what ShinKhai did. That will be an added bonus. HeE~! Well, till I find Mr Right.

Daddy just came back from Bangkok today. He bought my favourite dried guava and mangoes. YuMmY! He bought some trinkets too. Nice little things. I like them. =)

Was told by ShuYing that GuoLiang is in the same course as I am. Such a coincidence. So far, I have not seen him in any of my lectures or anywhere else in the campus.

*YaWnZ* I am sleepy. Wish me sweet dreams. You too. GoodNight!

Bali

Was in Bali between 5 August and 8 August.

Bali was fantastic! Went to lots of places for sight-seeing, and of course lots of shopping too! HeE~! The things there were quite cheap and it was fun trying to bargain with the vendors with the tiny bit of Malay I know.


Batik drawing on the sleeve of my T-shirt.


The monkey family at the Monkey Forest was kind enough to pose for a picture. Look! Mommy Monkey is smiling at the camera!


This was taken at the second largest Balinese temple. The temple used to belong to a royal family.


Brrr! Located at 1200M above sea level, it sure was cold at the second largest lake in Bali.


Sunset at Tanah Lot. Beautiful, isn't it?


Hard Rock Cafe in Bali.

The tour guide who showed us around was a humourous and nice guy. He speaks good English too. During long rides, he would tell us lots of facts about Bali. Learnt quite a bit from him.

We stayed at The Patra Bali, a 5-star resort-hotel near the Denpasar airport during the trip. It is quite a big place so we had to walk quite a distance from the lobby before we reach our rooms. The resort-hotel is near the sea. Nice view.

ShI zI lU kOu ChEnG gOnG!

Bali is certainly a place worth visiting. The rich culture of the Balinese is already good reason to revisit the island province of Indonesia. Hope to travel there again soon. =)

Crystal Jade

Had breakfast at Crystal Jade this morning. Reached Causeway Point at about 945AM thinking that it was 1045AM all along. I was kinda blur when I woke up. Maybe 'coz of the terrible stomachache I had during the night. =S

Went shopping for groceries at Cold Storage and NTUC after that. Bought loads of things. Mainly food. HaHa~!

Came home at about 3PM and started clearing my wardrobe. Threw out some old clothes and packed away my old school uniforms/T-shirt. After clearing, I still have a wardrobe full of clothes. I think I better stop shopping for a while. =P Packed my luggage too. Leaving this Friday.

Had spagetthi for dinner. Sis cooked. I washed. YuM~! =)

SingTel

Today's my last day with SingTel. JiaRui came over and waited for me to knock off. Slacked the whole day but I still managed to hit more than 60 calls. I think it takes skills to hit 30 calls a day just like Albert did when he was there. I never knew how he did it. Anyway, his application for permanent part time was approved. I just hope he will hit more calls when he goes back to work.

Nages came and assigned a girl, Judy to me for double-banking. Kinda funny 'coz it was my last day and I spent most of my time walking around instead of taking calls. HaHa~! Poor girl. She didn't get to learn much from me today. =P

Everyone was expecting my farewell e-mail today. I didn't send any. Dan and Vinci asked. I think I was just too lazy to type anything. No pictures were taken too. Except for one taken with my team leader, Jun. I wonder if I will miss working at SingTel. Well, I don't know now since I only left that place just a few hours ago.

Had dinner with JiaRui at Junction 8 just now. She accompanied me home after that before travelling back to Toa Payoh to meet her other friend. According to her, she haven't been home for 2 days. I thought what happened to her when Audrey told me she went drinking with HuiFen last night. It turned out that she was just feeling bored. PhEw~!

I am so tired after a day's work. Tonight, I shall have a good rest. GoodNight to me. TaTa~! =)

Seafood Feast

Went to JB with JiaRui and Audrey yesterday. Had a fun day together. Shopping, shopping and more shopping! HeHe~! We reached City Square at about 11AM and had brunch at the Chinese restaurant. Actually, only JiaRui ate there. I had fast food from MaryBrown. Audrey only had a packet of Milo. After brunch, it is time for shopping. Bought a blue blouse with polka dot prints, a pair of flats, a pair of heels, an overall and handbag. After all those shopping, we went for a seafood feast. Ordered chilli crabs, sting ray, FuRong egg, sambal kang kong and hot plate tofu. Yes, just the three of us. HaHa~! Despite ordering so much, we finished every bit of the food. The meal only cost us RM77, which was about S$35. JiaRui decides that we go there more often. I agree with her totally. HaHa~! Afterall, it is so much faster and nearer to go JB than to go town and the things there are so much cheaper. =P

Received my SIM Student Membership Card last night. Read the letter and realised that it acts as a CashCard, a library card and a discount card. Nice card.

Most probably going to SIM on Monday to make payment. JiaRui did not receive the letter. I hope she will receive it soon so that we can go to SIM together on Monday.

Went out for lunch with RoseMary and Megan just now. Megan happens to be Mr Morais' wife. Mr Morais was my Physics teacher in secondary school. RoseMary was telling us about a trip to Batam which her friend is organising. I feel like going too. Maybe during my term break in September. =)

Last week with SingTel. I am starting to count down to the number of work days left. Can't be more happy. HaHa~!

My Tutor Friend

Watched a Korean movie, My Tutor Friend on Channel U last night. The male lead is so good-looking and cool! The way he professed his love for his tutor was also very cute. HeE~! Anyway, it was such a funny movie that I laughed throughout the show. HaHa~!

Not working today. Woke up at 9AM. Meeting JiaRui to register for the Basic Theory Test later. Mommy came back from the market and saw me all dressed up. She asked me where am I going to. I told her and she started nagging. She complained that I did not tell her before going out and that I am always out. I think I've been a good girl for too long. Always reporting to her my whereabouts. When I stop doing that, she starts nagging. I am already 19 this year, but I feel that I am being treated like a primary school kid. ArGh~! I think mommy is being too strict with me. My sister gave her number to a RI guy and that guy keeps calling her but my parents are OK with it. They will not even accept me talking to a male friend. They will start asking if he is my boyfriend. If it is really what they think, I will have more than a dozen boyfriends. SiGh~!

I was doing some filing for the house last night. Didn't manage to finish 'coz there were too many papers to be filed. Mommy was nagging that I didn't file her documents and started saying that I am selfish. I was just trying to be nice. Can't she be more appreciative? SiGh~!

Was reading JiaRui's blog. She mentioned about Vinci being her male escort 'coz he lives in the same block of flats. I think it will be good to have a male escort. HaHa~! At least there is a guy around to protect you especially when it is already dark. Don't really like going home alone late at night. The quiet atmosphere sends the chill down my spine.

ChunHern SMS me this morning to greet me good day. He had been doing that quite often these days. It reminds me of our secondary school days when he used to SMS me every day and night without fail. I missed those days. Anyway, it is all in the past now. I am just glad he is still my friend. =)

My flu is getting better but my throat is still quite sore. I think I need honey.

Suki Yuki Yaki

Had dinner at Suki Yuki Yaki with JiaRui, MayHui, Audrey, Albert, Jake, Winston, Robby and Vinci last night. I mixed up my off day and thus Thursday's gathering was brought forward to yesterday. Audrey made a reservation for dinner at 7PM. She told me reservation was made under my name though it was she who called the restaurant. After work, Vinci, Albert and I took a bus to town. We were supposed to meet JiaRui and MayHui outside Cineleisure at 630PM, but we were late. We rushed all the way to Cineleisure only to find out that the reservation was made under Miss Audrey Teo. Never mind. We told the guy reservation was made for dinner at 7Pm but he said Audrey changed it to 730PM. We had no choice but to stroll around Cineleisure before Audrey comes. When 730Pm comes, Audrey was still on the way. We went back to the restaurant and talk to a lady regarding the reservation. She told us that they do not take in reservations. -_- We were all very angry and almost disputed. When Audrey finally came, the lady was very nice and arranged for tables to be cleared for us. We all looked at Audrey in amazement. We only settled down at about 745PM. The dinner was filled with fun and laughters, especially when we sat with Robby and JiaRui who spent the night fighting for prawns. They even had a prawn catching competition. HaHa~! Went home with Vinci after dinner. The rest went to KBox.

Will be going to JB again on 27 July. This time, it is with JiaRui and Audrey. Vinci might be coming along with us too. I told mommy about it last night. I was surprised she did not raise any objections. She just nagged a little about me going out very often nowadays. Phew~!

Two weeks more and I will be out of this place. HoOrAy~!

City Square

Went to JB with PeiYan and RoseMary yesterday. Mommy came along too. We went shopping at City Square. Had breakfast at a Chinese restaurant in the shopping mall. After breakfast, we started our shopping. Went for an eye examination at the optical shop and got contact lens. I struggled with the application for about 15 minutes before we continue with our shopping. I think I need more time to get used to putting the contact lens in. Bought a pair of shoes and a few T-shirts. We reached at about 1115AM and only went back at 7PM. I left with mommy first. PeiYan and RoseMary left later. PeiYan went to get transition lenses and thus the delay. It was a great day. Haven't been shopping for quite some time. Finally got a chance yesterday. =)

Jun SMS me yesterday. She called for the whole team to report for work an hour earlier today because our fellow counterparts at the other call centre could not work due to some system error. I had to wake up at 5AM this morning because of this. Was telling Rani about this just now. She was saying whenever they have problems, we have to suffer, but whenever we have problems, they do not bother. I think this is quite true. Anyway, Jun just e-mailed us to tell us that we can leave an hour earlier today due to the arrangement to report earlier. I think SingTel just do not want to pay for overtime. This company is getting stingy. It is a good thing I am leaving soon.

It was also JiaRui's last day at SingTel yesterday. I really envy her. She can enjoy herself while I am still stuck here. Anyway, it won't be long before my turn comes. By then, I will have 2 full days to myself. Yes, ONLY 2 days. SiGh~! No choice, need more money to satisfy my shopping crave. HaHa~!

JiaRui e-mailed us yesterday. In her e-mail, she mentioned reefwalk at KuSu Island. She was asking if we will be interested in the activity. I think this is not a bad idea. I haven't try that before and I think it will be quite fun if we can all go and explore marine life. I have never been to KuSu Island too. In fact, I have never been to any of the islands around Singapore other than our dear old Sentosa Island. Alright, I know I am kinda mountain-tortise. Please pardon me for that. Anyway, I hope we can go for the reefwalk. Really looking forward to that. =)

I think my resignation is approved. I wonder when is the exit interview. I think the exit interview is redundant. They are always asking for feedbacks but no improvements. SiGh~!

I am very sick. My flu is still as bad. The medicine don't seem to be working for me. I feel terrible.

Six

Watched 'Six' with JiaRui, Audrey and Jake on Sunday. JiaRui didn't watch the show at all. She was listening to Jake's IPodMini and covering herself with Audrey's sweater throughout the whole show. The show wasn't that scary. I only jumped once when they scream. In fact, some parts of the show were quite funny. The ending of the show was a sad one though.

Before the show, JiaRui came over to my house. I warned her of the mess but she insist on taking a look. She said that my room is not messy, but OK. HaHa~! She is just being nice. I really need to tidy up my room before school starts. Anyway, we read the magazines and talked about some beauty tricks before leaving my house to meet Audrey at Causeway Point.

Changed to Jun's team yesterday to join the permanent team. So far, so good. Will be tendering my resignation letter tomorrow. I find it a bit awkward to tender my resignation 3 days after I change to the new team, but I got to do it since I am required to give 2 weeks notice.

Going to JB with PeiYan and RoseMary this Thursday, our off day. Apparently, Jariah did not approve my OT application. I heard from Audrey that the management is cutting OT cost. SiGh~!

Not feeling well today. Getting dizzy spells and cramps. My body is aching too. I need Panadol.

Rainbow

I can slowly see colours in my surrounding now. The rainbow is starting to appear in the bright blue sky after the storm. The garden is full of bright beautiful flowers. The sunflowers are smiling from ear to ear as the sun shines brightly on them. It is as though I am in Wonderland. I feel great! Last month with SingTel. I have never felt so positive before.

I have the urge to shop. HuiJun is supposed to go to town with me last Saturday but the trip was called off because she lost her EZ-Link card. Speaking of the EZ-Link card, mine expired. Got a new one at $15, with a value of only $7. To make it worse, the design is so ugly. SiGh~! Met up with Pauline and RouShen at Bugis instead. Went to Bugis Street to get the straw bag. It is the same straw bag JiaRui and Audrey have. Same colour as the one JiaRui has. HaHa~!

I taught JiaRui how to post pictures on her blog using PhotoBucket yesterday. Today, she taught me how to post pictures using Blogger. HaHa~! Information sharing.

It has been a long day. Extended my service for 2 hours today. Gonna work OT for the whole of this week. I need the money. SiGh~!

Sleepover

Met up with EeHui, WeiQi, DanQing, Daniel, XianWang and Jason last night. It has been a long six months since we last met. The guys look so much stronger and darker now. HeE~! We stayed overnight at EeHui's house. It was supposed to be a sleepover, but it turned into a mahjong session when XianWang started teaching us how to play. HaHa~! Jason and Daniel joined us later as they were caught up at the NDP rehearsal.

The guys were talking non-stop about their NS experience the whole night. XianWang was telling us how lost he felt when he was first released from Pulau Tekong. DanQing talks about his physically relaxing but metally taxing work at his camp. Jason demonstrated how the NPCC march. Daniel complained about his finger nails getting dirty because of the carbon under the suit he has to wear for chemical defence. HaHa~!

EeHui, WeiQi, DanQing and I did not sleep the whole night. We were rotating between Bridge, DaiDee and Mahjong. The attic turned into a gambling den after we arrive at the place. HaHa~!

Daniel was the first to hit the pillows. While he was sleeping, WeiQi took pictures of his sleeping postures. They were so funny we couldn't concentrate on playing our games. HaHa~! When he just arrive at EeHui's place, he said that he will be leaving earlier the next morning to see his friend off at the airport. As the four of us did not the sleep, we decided to give him a wake up call at 6AM. We shook him but he just ignored us and continued sleeping. After reminding him that his friend is leaving for Hong Kong this morning for studies and might not be coming back, he merely replied that he is not going and went back to sleep. We finally give up and continued with our games. At 745AM, we woke everyone up so that we can go out for breakfast together. Everyone woke up except for Daniel. This time, EeHui decided to use the alarm the police gave her to ward off perverts to wake him up. The alarm was too loud and we decided to switch it off. He woke up but fell back onto the sofa again after a while. WeiQi suddenly stood beside him with a bottle of vanilla coke, threatening to pour drink on him if he doesn't wake up within 3 counts. He woke up immediately. HaHa~! It was a hilarious scene.

We bidded EeHui's father goodbye and went to Clementi hawker centre for breakfast. We all sat around a small table and started talking again. After a while, we finally ordered our food. All of us had roti prata except for XianWang and Jason who had fried carrot cake instead. After breakfast, we stayed around for more army matters. We left at about 930AM 'coz I got to rush to work. All of us were so tired that we all fell asleep on the train ride home. Luckily WeiQi woke me up, otherwise I'd have slept past my stop. HeE~!

I missed them, lots. I must thank EeHui for organising this gathering. XianWang and I were pushing the responsibility to each other all the time and ended up doing nothing. SiGh~! With EeHui leaving for Australia to further her studies, I guess we won't be having any gathering anytime soon. =( *SoBz*

Music to the ears

Attended a product briefing by Sony Ericsson yesterday. It is on the K750i and the upcoming J300i. The presenter was holding a W800i, which attracted my attention.

Somy Ericsson W800i

It is orange in colour. One of my favourite colours. HeE~! The specifications is similar to K750i's. Although I have always liked my mobile phone to be simple, the various functions of this phone makes me want to buy it. It can play MP3 like a WalkMan, take pictures like a CyberShot and allow 3D gaming like a PSP. ArGh~! Temptations! Luckily it is not launched yet.

Going swimming with my family later in the afternoon. Haven't been swimming for ages. I wonder if I still remember how to swim. HaHa~!

EeHui SMS me yesterday. It is regarding our gathering this weekend. She was giving us some suggestions on what to do before/during our sleepover at her place. I have not replied her. Consulted DanQing yesterday, he too have no idea which to choose. He claims that he will go with the majority. If everyone thinks like him, the majority will be to go with the majority. SiGh~!

JobHop

The guys are staying with SingTel as permanent part time. I can't imagine myself staying there throughout my 3 years of studies. This place is too stressful for me. JiaRui was suggesting that we become part time waitress. I got sick of that job when I was in secondary school, so I suggested we become tutors instead. I think being a waitress is no difference from being a customer service officer. Tutoring will be a better choice, at least the time is more flexible.

JiaRui just told me she will be quitting either next week or on 10 July. SiGh~! Everyone is leaving, except for me. No choice, I need the money. The school fees is enough to crush me.

ZhiFa just gave me two numbers. One for job assignments, the other for tuition assignments. I think I will call the tuition agency tomorrow during my break to see if they can arrange something for me. The sooner I start, the sooner I can break away from SingTel.

I miss school.

School

YiPpEe! I am going back to school! HeE~! Just did the course registration this morning. The portal was down yesterday, so we had to wait till today to complete the registration. I had been trying since I reach the office this morning. I wasn't able to access until JiaMei tried and realised that the portal is up again. I quickly SMS JiaRui to get her to log in and register so that we can have the same time table. No reply from her. I decided to call her instead. She picked up the call with a low and sleepy tone. She was still in bed. When I told her the portal is up, she suddenly became very energetic. HaHa~! Not too long after we hang up, she SMS me to tell me that the software on her computer is not compaitable with the eCR, and she need me to register for her. I registered for her and confirmed the submission at the same time. No more changes. HeE~! Our time table is as follows:

Tuesday - FF-ECONS (Afternoon)
Wednesday - BB PBF (Afternoon)
Thurday - CC IBM (Morning)
Friday - EE STATS 1 & MATHS 1 (Morning)

Wanted to take POA in year one, but the classes are all full when we went in to register. Never mind, Daddy said he will tutor me for POA since he used to study accounting. HeE~!

Will be tendering my resignation in a month's time. This time, it is for real. I heard from JiaMei that there will be an exit interview. SiGh~! By the way, JiaMei tendered her resignation last Wednesday. This Wednesday will be her last day with us in SingTel. She found a new job with Timberland, which is paying her $1.5K every month. I am happy for her, but at the same time sad that she is leaving us so soon, sooner that I expected.

I am so sleepy. Haven't been sleeping well these few nights. Had been sleeping late and waking up early since last Friday. *YaWnZ* I need sleep. I shall sleep early tonight, so that I will have the energy to work OT this week. Gotta work more OT to earn more money for my school fees. It is burning a hole in my pocket. A big one. SiGh~!

Fest

Went to the Creatives Fest yesterday to get the speakers and the earphones. Spent a lot yesterday. Gotta work more OT now. SiGh~!

Keith was there too. He gave me a fright. He tapped me on the shoulder and when I turn around, no one was there. It is nice to see him again. It has been some time since I last saw him. He will be going to Thailand soon. According to him, it is for good, though he will be back for occasional visits.

No more off day for me till 7 June. *YaWnZ* My dark eye rings are getting darker. Soon I'll look like a panda. *IrEnE sHaKeS hEr HeAd HaRd* No, I better sleep early tonight.

SiangPing SMS me a few days ago. She asked if she could come to my house and talk to my parents about her products. I did not agree to her request 'coz I don't even see my parents, sometimes few days in a row. Then, she asked if I can introduce any relatives to her. I told her frankly that I don't even approach my relatives though I myself is in MLM. When it comes to money, it is better not to involve relatives. After that, I never hear from her anymore.

I seriously need to tidy my room before school starts. It looks as if a cyclone just swept by.

I am looking forward to the start of the school term. This is the first time I felt this way. Maybe it is 'coz I hate working for SingTel. Anyway, I am preparing to quit. Most likely end of July. HaHa~!

Strapped

My heart aches. I snapped my dear Zen Micro's earphone's wire yesterday. SiGh~! I gotta get a replacement. Lucky there is fest at Creative this weekend. Though there is a fest, it will still cost me $35 to get a new pair of earphones. I am gonna get red colour to match my Zen Micro this time. Will be getting the matching red speakers too. There are great offers for members. Actually wanted to get the pouch as well but can't now since I gotta get new earphones.

Finally met Pauline and RouShen yesterday. We actually arranged to meet at my office but they took the wrong route and ended up in Hougang. Initially, they told me they were in Hougang Mall, so I asked a lot of people and finally managed to reach Hougang Mall at 9PM. When I was there, I tried to locate them. It took us another half an hour to realise that they are not at Hougang Mall but at Hougang Point. I had to take a bus back to Ang Mo Kio to meet them. As if that is not bad enough for me, my handphone's battery went empty and I can't contact them at all since I can't remember any of their numbers. After pacing up and down Ang Mo Kio MRT serveral times, I finally saw them running towards me at 10PM. We walked around Ang Mo Kio for a while and decided to head back to the MRT at 10.30PM 'coz all the shops were already closed by that time. They accompanied me to Admiralty MRT and took the train back to Yishun from there. I am so touched! HeE~!

I am so tired now. Only reached home at 11PM last night. After I finish washing up and eating my dinner/supper, it was already 12AM. I woke up at 6.30AM this morning. *YaWnZ* I am not in the mood for work.

JiaRui went to SIM to make payment this morning. I hate to say this, but I should be going to SIM for the same purpose soon. HaI~!

Decisions

Daddy rejected my proposal, so we will be travelling on the company package. Flight details will be as follow:

05 Aug SIN/DPS SQ146-1640/1910
08 Aug SIN/DPS SQ143-1305/1535

05 Aug is a Friday. I wonder how are we gonna make it to the airport on time given my sis' lessons will only end at 2PM on that day. To make matters worse, River Valley High School is in Commonwealth. I guess she'll have to miss lessons then, but what do we write in the excuse letter? We'll think about it later.

Today is 22 May. I still have not receive anything from NTU and SMU, and I need to reply SIM by 31 May. SiGh~! Though I am slowly losing hope, I do not want to reply SIM before I receive a reply from NTU and SMU. I don't want to regret making the wrong decision.

EeHui just SMS me this morning. She is organising a T108 gathering. I feel bad. XianWang kept asking me to organise one but I never had the time to do so. I hope the attendance will be better this time. It is always the same old people attending the gatherings. SiGh~!

XiangHong's birthday is coming soon. Still thinking what to get for her. I just SMS Pauline regarding that. I have yet to receive a reply from her. Hopefully she will reply before I spend all my money. HaHa~!

OG is having a sale from 20 May to 23 May. Might be going down to take a look later today or maybe tomorrow.

My computer is back, but the front USB ports are not fixed. SiGh~! The repairman just changed the whole motherboard. Now I got to reinstall all my programmes again. I am getting sick of this. With so many things to pay for, I wonder when can I get a new PC.

*IrEnE iS sTrEsSeD*

Denpasar

Daddy's company is sponsoring a trip to Bali for him and mommy. I am still trying to convince daddy to let me book 2 tickets for sis and myself, separately. I do not want to travel in the company package. The company package will include lodging but I think we can save on that if we bunk in with my parents since the deluxe suite is so spacious. More savings means more shopping trips for me. HeE~! Another reason will be because I am paying for my own trip. SiGh~!

I was only 7 years old the last time I was in Bali. It's been a long 12 years. My sis was only 6 months old. She wasn't there the last time we went. This will be the first time she is visiting the place. I am sure she is as excited as I was 12 years ago. Poor sis had to stay with my aunt when we were enjoying ourselves. HaHa~!

I went to JB on Tuesday, my off day after 2 weeks of non-stop work. We went to the VIVA office at Taman Molek and was fined for parking without displaying parking coupons. The parking attendants came in a group so we couldn't escape. But, guess what? There was a 30% discount on the parking fine. HaHa~! After paying the fine, we went shopping at Jusco. I love shopping at Jusco 'coz the things there are so much cheaper than other shopping centres. We went to my cousin's house to see baby Phillip later in the evening. He has grown so much bigger now. He is so adorable I am actually reluctant to let go of him. HaHa~!

I am working OT almost every other day. SiGh~! I am very tired, but I need the money. SIM just replied to my application to the University of London external programme. I've been accepted and I am required to pay S$4K upon acceptance.

NTU and SMU have not reply me, and I have to accept SIM beore 31st May 2005. SiGh~!

*YaWnZ*

Just came back home after visiting SiangPing at her office. Didn't stay there for long 'coz mommy was rushing me to go home for dinner. Anyway, I wasn't quite happy to stay there either. I was told that it is just an introduction of the job, but it turned out to be an interview in disguise. I was given a form to fill up, which SiangPing claims is for her boss to "know me better". After filling up the form, I noticed that there is a section on the reverse page for me to sign and declare that all the information I had given is true. I was lucky they were having a meeting when I was there, so I wasn't interviewed afterall.

Actually, I wanted to partner SiangPing, but I just can't bring myself to do it after learning about the products they sell. True enough, the incentives are appealing, but the sales volume is just too difficult to maintain. The company sells sleeping products, such as pillows and comforters. I was informed by SiangPing that their products come in sets with prices starting from $1000 onwards. I was thinking, even if I manage to sell in the first month, I won't be able to maintain the same sales volume the following month unless those who purchased the products refer new customers to me, because people don't change new pillows and comforters every other month. Take myself as an example, I've used my pillow for more than 6 years and I am still using it because I am already used to it, and it is still in good condition. You change my pillow today and I will lose my sleep for a month. Then, I will blame the pillow for my insomnia.

I feel like quitting my job now. Though the pay is OK, the work is not. I am so stresed till I give wrong advices to customers. I can't think clearly now. Everytime I go to work, I look forward to knocking off. I get a terrible headache whenever I am at work. SiGh~! I don't like the job, but I got to hold on to it 'coz I need the money. I envy those who have left. Joan will be leaving on Sunday. I am happy for her. I want to tender my resignation, but I haven't save enough. How many times have I said that? I don't know. The only thing I know is I am still stuck with this sick job.

I want to get a new job somewhere else, but it is not easy to find one nowadays. Especially one which offers more than $7/Hr, and work during office hours. SiGh~!

I haven't had a day of rest since last Tuesday. Had been working OT on my rest days. I will also be doing OT tomorrow and on Sunday. I am so tired.

Voice

Just recovered part of my voice today after 4 days of silent torture. People weren't able to make out what I was trying to say and I couldn't understand why they don't understand. Maybe that's what my nightmare was trying to tell me.

*****I dreamt that I was chased around in my own house by a ferocious snake. No voice came out of my throat when I wanted to scream as the snake tried to bite me. I was jolted awake when the snake bit me eventually.*****

The nightmare actually predicted that I will lose my voice. Strange.

I told Radiah about my nightmare. She was telling me that Muslims believe that if a girl dreams of snakes, it means that her Prince Charming will appear soon. I don't know how true is that, but I'd like to meet my Prince Charming soon though. HaHa~!

Sometimes I wonder what kind of a person will my future husband be. I am having wild thoughts now. HaHa~! Enough of my daydreams!

Anyway, I need to get mommy's birthday present by this weekend. I am still trying to decide whether to go today or on Saturday, and I still need to decide what to buy for her. SiGh~! I am so indecisive.

I took a glance at the almost stagnant ShoutBox and realised that Vanessa left a note there. I didn't know she reads my blog. HaHa~! That's no wonder since I seldom blog. =P

It is NTU's examination season now. I wish those affected all the best, especially my dearest cousin, ShuYing. HeE~! =)

Well, it's time for me to go home again. TaTa~! ;)

Zen

I am so sick now. Had wanted to go on MC today, but came afterall. As usual, it's for the sake of money. You can call me a money grubber, I don't care. Just give me the money. Requested for OT for Sunday, but I was rejected. Guess they already know my style by now. Rest on off days(1.5X) and work on rest days(2X). HaHa~!

OK, I shall talk about my new found love, my red-coloured ZEN MICRO. HeE~! This little thing costs me $379 which is equivalent to about 1 1/2 week of work in SingTel. Had always wanted to buy it when it first launched, but waited until the CreativeX Fest 'coz they have launched the new 4GB Zen Micro @$299, but only available in black, white, silver and dark blue. However, the 4GB package doesn't come with all the accessories and I'd have to purchase them separately. In the end, I bought the 5GB package which comes with the full set of accessories and there goes half of my March salary. SiGh~!

Now that I have bought the Zen Micro, my next target will be the Fujitsu S6230 Lifebook. That had been my target for quite some time, but haven't been able to afford it. Moreover, my current PC is giving me a lot of problems, thus giving me more reason to buy the S6230. ShuYing has a Fujitsu S-series Lifebook too. Just wondering if it is the same one I am looking at 'coz her's looks awesome. =) Whatever it is, I need to save up first. SiGh~!

Went to Party World @Orchard last Sunday with Radiah, June, David and Robby. Had a really good and wild time there. HaHa~! Was reluctant to go at first, but June's persistent request made me surrender. We had Halal Chinese food for dinner at Far East Plaza before heading to Party World. June wanted to have Hainanese chicken rice but we had to switch 'coz Radiah is not used to eating in a Chinese restaurant.

Might be going to Malaysia, most likely Batu Pahat tomorrow. Will be leaving the house early in the morning so that I will be in time to have breakfast there. HeE~! I am gonna shake everyone up at 5AM tomorrow. HaHa~!

June asked if we wanna go Sentosa with her on Monday. I was like "HuH~? Sentosa on a Monday?" Anyway, I am not going.

ChunHern SMS me this morning. He woke me up and I snapped at him for doing that. He actually didn't feel anythig. HaHa~! He claims that his instructors are much more nasty than I am and he got used to it. Then I asked him how has he been and he gave me a very bad analogy. I will not go into too much details about the analogy here though. HaHa~! By the way, haven't seen him in quite a while. Wonder how he looks like with his botak head. HaHa~!

XianWang reported to Pulau Tekong on Thursday. He posted a photo of himself with his botak head on his blog. He looks weird. HaHa~! Anyway, he is thoughtful enough to leave a note on my little shoutbox before he left. Hope he gets on well there. =)

It's getting late. I better stop here. Going home now. =)

Joy

Joy is back home, well and safe. It turned out that she doesn't have dengue fever but a very serious viral infection. I am glad she will be coming back to the office on Wednesday, though she should be getting more rest. I miss her sooooo much!!! Hee~!

Blogging in my office again. It is my rest day but I am back for OT. Just hope to earn more money while I still can.

A lot of things are going through my mind right now, but I don't know how to put them down in words. I think I am aging.

I had been quite lucky for the past 18 years of my life. Had been able to pass the major exams, good enough for me to proceed to a higher level of education, and better still, to rather good schools. Though I worked very hard for that too, I still believe that good luck is important. Just hope that I am still as lucky as before. I don't care if you say that I am superstitious or whatever, I will try anything and everything to make sure that I am able to enter either NUS or NTU this year.

O'level results will be out tomorrow. I wish those who are receiving their results well, especially Joslyn and Jake. =)

Daddy is coming back from Malaysia tonight. Hopes he had enough fun. Can sense that he is very stresed up recently.

Read the email from Robby about pressure just now. The pictures were moving quite fast when I was looking at them. I need to check on my blood pressure. I reckon it should be shooting up faster than the rocket. It's no surprise since I had been getting a lot of irritating and stupid customers. Seriously, I do not wish to extend my contract with SingTel, though the pay is quite good. Maybe I'll see how it goes before I make my decision. Anyway, I still have a lot of time to consider since my contract will only end on 15th April 2005.

Didn't realise that I had been blogging for the past 2.5 hours. Alright, it's almost time for knock off and I shall end here.

Advanced

O'level results gonna be released next Monday. This will mean that A'level results will be released the following Monday. ArGh~! I don't like the feeling of this. It is getting harder and harder to get into University. I am very worried... ...

Joy fell ill yesterday and is in the hospital now. I am such an insensitive friend. I didn't know until this evening when Joslyn told me. We'll be visiting her this Sunday though. Poor girl, hopes she get well soon.

I am typing this blog in my office now. I realise this job is really tiring and stressful. It's no wonder they are paying so high.

Going to log off 15 minutes from now.

Post Valentine

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. Went home straight after work. What a nice girl I've been, right? Watched TV the whole night. I was feeling bored. It is difficult to spend Valentine's Day without a partner. Worse still, Mediacorp just have to screen romantic dramas the whole night. It was My Fair Lady at 7PM, then You Are The One at 9PM, lastly Glass Shoes at 10.45PM. Glass Shoes was the one which made me really sad last night. Tears were welling in my eyes when I was watching the show, but somehow, I just couldn't cry. Watched Glass Shoes till 12.30PM and ended up sleepwalking to work this morning. So, that was my Valentine's Day 2005.

Suddenly, I am reminded of My Fair Princess III which ended on Sunday. The undying love between Princess HuanZhu and 5th Prince, and that between Princess ZiWei and Er Kang is so touching. I doubt this kinda neverending love will ever exist in this century. Maybe there will be, but I don't know. Maybe it has never ever existed before. Deep in my heart, I really want to believe that it exist, and I truly hope that I will come across a guy who will sacrifice everything just for me, and a guy whom I am willing to give up some things for. But, up in my head, I cannot believe because it is too much of a fairytale. It is like a dream. I am scared that everything will be gone when I wake up. I am afraid of disappointment. I'll rather it won't happen, then I won't be sad that it is gone. But, if it doesn't happen, I'll also be disappointed because I never had a chance to be so deeply in love with someone. Hai~! I am contradicting myself. I think I better end here before I confuse myself. Time to watch Glass Shoes again! TaTa~!

The final lap

Today marks the beginning of the last week of our training. Come this Thursday, we will officially start work at 1626. So much had happened in the past three weeks. We started out as strangers and end up being friends. It was a wonderful experience, except for the occasional boring classes we had. Though sad that we'll be separated into our different teams with different shifts, I am glad that we are finally starting work as this will be my first full time job. So far, I am enjoying the process and I hope it continues this way. =)

We will be going out together after our training on Wenesday to celebrate the completion of the mobile training course. I am so excited about it! HeHe~!

Chinese New Year is around the corner. This means that A'level result is on the way. I am very nervous. I start thinking about my result when I hear those Chinese New Year songs being played. *ShIvErS*

Getting heavier and heavier everyday. I think it is the candies and chocolates on the central tables. I seriously need to shed the extra fats 'coz I am starting to look ugly. I am so desperate to lose weight that I even contemplate taking pills. However, I realise that I haven't exactly gain more than 5KG, so I decided to shape up the natural way. Exercise. Will be hitting the gym with Hui Jun this Saturday. Haven't really spend time with this cute cousin of mine since we came back from KL. =)

Growing up

People change. I miss the innocent kids who used to play hide-n-seek in the school field. I miss the fun we had in school. But alas, all these are gone and we will never re-live that part of our lives again. Whatever we maybe doing now, the burden on our shoulders has undoubtedly grown heavier as we all grow older. What goes on in our mind is never going to be as simple as sweets and chocolates anymore. The time left behind for our families and friends will slowly become insignificant. I guess that is the price to pay for growing up. Sometimes, I just wish that kids will never grow up. This way, they will be happy for as long as they live.

SingPost

Today's training is at SingPost. Though it's quite far from my place, I still prefer it to TEPL building which I had my training for the past three days. Well, there are several reasons pertaining to that conclusion:

1. I only have to take the MRT when I go to SingPost, but I have to take the MRT then transfer to one of the six buses there when I go to TEPL building.

2. There are more choices for lunch and more places for me to explore at SingPost as compared to TEPL building.

3. The SingPost building looks more sophisticated than TEPL building.

But, there is one thing I don't like about SingPost. There is no one to go home with me! I think I stay the furthest from there. When we were at TEPL building, Joy always go home with me 'coz she stays at Jurong. Now, she takes direct train from Paya Lebar. I went home with the guys today. But still, I was alone after Ang Mo Kio. Somehow, the trip home made us better colleagues I guess. At least I get to know them better, especially Dave and David. Don't really talk to them during training, but I think they are nice people. =)

Joy, Joslyn, Joan, May Hui, Farhana and I were talking about boyfriends just now. We kept referring to the five guys sitting beside us. HaHa~! The discussion made me think of how my ideal boyfriend should be like:

1. Someone taller than me, but not too much taller.

2. Someone who is well-built.

3. Someone with a boy-next-door look.

4. Someone who will take care of himself.

5. Someone who will take care of me before he takes care of himself.

6. Someone who knows how to play the guitar, and sings love songs to me every now and then.

7. Someone who will love me forever.

8. Someone who is willing to sacrifice for my sake.

9. Someone who is willing to accept me for who I am.

10. Someone who is willing to think of our future.

11. Someone who is responsible.

12. Someone who is honest.

13. Someone who is willing to work hard towards his goals.

14. Someone who is ambitious.

15. Someone who will surprise me everyday with a small gesture.

16. Someone who will colour my life.

17. Someone who is willing to share his life with me, and mine with him.

18. Someone who shares my interests.

19. Someone romantic.

20. Someone fun.

I think it is quite hard to find a guy like this nowadays. Anyway, this is only an ideal. I understand that no one is perfect, and will never expect my future boyfriend to be perfect.

My 2nd aunt and cousins came yesterday. We went to town later in the evening. Orchard Road was closed from 6-11PM due to a street performance for Christmas. The streets were too packed so we went into Wisma Atria to shop. My cousins were looking for evening gowns for Christmas parties, so I brought them to Daniel Yam. I tried a black gown with a big bow. It was magnificent, but I had nowhere to wear to so I didn't buy in the end. My cousins didn't buy too 'coz I think they had already tailor-made one each. By the time we reach Yishun, it was already 10.30PM. It was until then that we had our dinner. After dinner, we led my cousins to the causeway and left. By the time I take my bath it was already 12AM. After packing everything into my bag, I finally get to sleep at 1.30AM. Woke up at 6.30AM this morning. I am so tired now. But there is ShI zI lU kOu tonight, and they are featuring S.H.E. It is the second part of their ShangHai challenge this week and I don't wanna miss it since I have already watched the first part last week. ArGh~!

Fun day out

Met up with Ee Hui, Wei Qi, Daniel, Danqing, Xian Wang and Jason this morning. Wei Qi and I thought we were late when we reached Clementi MRT station, where we were supposed to meet at 0945HRS. It turned out that the guys were later than us. Especially Xian Wang, who lives nearest to the meeting place.

We went to Bukit Timah Community Centre to play badminton for 2 hours. It was fun though tiring. Haven't been playing badminton since Sec 4. After that, we went to the hawker centre near Clementi MRT to have our lunch. After lunch, we went to play pool. 2 hours passed quickly as we had our fill of fun at the pool tables. Learnt quite a lot from the guys today. We walked to a nearby shop that sells pirated CDs after having a drink at Mr Bean. Spent around half an hour there. I bought a chinese input software and a French<->English talking dictionary. We went to Comic Connections too. Saw Fullmetal Alchemist keychains and pictorial books there. They have Tarot cards too. I was very interested in those cards but I've decided not to touch them 'coz I heard that they can be dangerous since they are considered to be evil.

Went to Causeway Point with Wei Qi later in the evening. I visited Nokia to ask them about the style pen for N6108 which my daddy lost. Too bad the stock isn't in yet and they only have the pocket stylus at the moment. We went to Hallmarks to look for Precious Moment's passport cover after that. The passport cover is so cute! But alas, it is sold out too.

Oh, saw ZuXian at Admiralty MRT on my way home just now. Hee, I like his style now. The hair is nice. The clothes are nice. His face without his glasses is nice. Everything is so co-ordinated. =)

By the way, Janice called me this afternoon to tell me that Singtel has decided to hire me. Finally, I have a job. Hee, so happy! I am going to her office at Raffles Place tomorrow to give her some things, so I might go to the Hallmarks in town to check out the passport cover. I hope they have it there. *PrAys*

Graduation Night

A Night of Elegance. Indeed it was. Everyone looked so different. Felt a bit sad when I was leaving the hotel last night, when everyone went separate ways.

Orchard Road at 12AM is beautiful. There are not as many people as in the day, and of course not as busy. The air is so cool and the place is so serene. After walking around for a while, Vanessa's dad drove me home. It was so nice of them.

By the way, they showed the result for Singapore Idol Final Showdown last night at the ballroom. Taufik won. Kinda expected him to win. He had been in the safe zone for many rounds.

Went for another job interview just now. Lost my way there. When I finally reach, a guy called out to me on his car and asked me for directions to Sembawang Shipyard. How'd I know when I just lost my way? So, I told him I don't know. When I was about to turn and walk away, he called me again to ask me if I was interested in some events where many models from all over the world will be attending. Crazy. I just told him I am not interested, neither am I free. He gave me his namecard and ask me to call him if I change my mind. As if I will call. I just took it to stop him from pestering me again.

I hate the job I interviewed for. It pays only $5/hour and no CPF contributions, no staff benefits and no everything. Worse thing is that the assignment is only valid until March'05. Which means that I will have to look for a new job after March. ArGh~! Waste my time to go there. I had another interview at Sim Lim Tower but was forced to postpone it to tomorrow because I couldn't reach there on time. All because I lost my way at Senoko. Shouldn't have gone for that interview. Hai~!

As I was making my way to the bus stop opposite the factory, someone blew cat whistle at me. I don't understand why people have to do that. It is simply idoitic. Anyway, I was only wearing short skirt and a toga top. What's wrong with that?

Daniel messaged me just now. CTG 108 is going to watch The Polar Express tomorrow at Lido. I've watched it before, but I might meet up with them after the movie. Promised to meet up with Rou Shen and Pauline tomorrow too. Rou Shen wants to get a laptop so most likely we will be going to Sim Lim Square. SiGh~! So many appointments tomorrow.

Welcome on BORED

Woke up at 10AM today. Pieced up a bit of my puzzle after breakfast. Please note that the puzzle had been left untouched since 2002. Can you imagine how thick the layer of dust was when I took it down from the top of my cupboard? YuCk~!

Was intending to skip lunch again today but had Mac in the end 'coz mommy decided to sponsor me. Had skipped lunch for 2 days 'coz I am bankrupt.

Anyway, Rachel from UOB called again today regarding my application for Customer Service Assistant. She asked me to go down to UOB plaza for an interview at 4PM this Friday. I hope IRAS calls me before my interview. Frankly speaking, I'd prefer the job at IRAS than the one at UOB. =X

Nonetheless, it was great to hear from UOB 'coz at least I know that I am not useless. =)

Looking for a part-time job as a tutor. Anyone has any 'lobang'?

Monday, November 22, 2004

UOB

The paper today was OK. Hope it turns out OK too. =X

UOB called me while I was having the exam. I've applied for a job as a Customer Service Assistant with them. They called at 1511HRS and my paper ended at 1530HRS. ArGh~! Why couldn't they call later?!

I don't care. If IRAS call me before UOB does, then I am going for IRAS.

Hee, it's holiday time! Finally it's here! WooHoo~!

I am only left with Bio Paper 1, which is MCQ, on Thursday. Why couldn't they just arrange it to be on today?! If it is today, I can just dye my hair tomorrow. If it doesn't turn out well, at least I can go to the salon in JB to fix it since daddy is going on Wednesday. Hai~! Now, I can only hope that the colour will turn out right.

Twelve Nights

Watched "Twelve Nights" on Channel 8 last night. The story is about how the relationship between a guy and a girl changes as time passes by. Every relationship that the girl has is of the same pattern.

On the first night, the girl used the guy to break up with her boyfriend. After that, the girl cried the whole night and the guy accompanied her through the night.

On the second night, the guy used the girl to break up with her girlfriend. After that, the guy and the girl are an item.

On the third night, the guy called the girl, asking to meet her. The girl refused because the guy had to attend a meeting the next day and she advised him to rest early. They end up talking through the night on phone, with the guy asking to meet her every now and then. They talked till the next morning when the guy brought breakfast for the girl at her house.

On the forth night, the guy and the girl was in the girl's apartment. They were talking about themselves and the girl asked the guy what else about him that she doesn't know. They guy told her he has hepatitis B. The girl was shocked to hear that. She started asking if he had relapses. The guy got angry and stormed off.

On the fifth night, the girl and the guy set off for a holiday because the guy is on leave. The guy asked the girl why do they have to go on a holiday when he is on leave. The girl asked the guy why can't they go on a holiday when he is on leave. While at the train station, they met the girl's ex-colleague. The guy was jealous when the girl and her ex-colleague hit it off so well. While they are alone again, the guy asked the girl if her ex-colleague had wooed her before. She said yes and told the guy honestly that they even had sex before. Obviously, the guy was very angry and they had a heated argument. The train came and the girl threw the magazine she was reading straight in the guy's face before she boarded the train. She sat in the train, silently waiting for the guy to come and comfort her. Instead, she saw him sitting on the bench just like before. She was very angry and turned her head away from the window. When she looked again, the guy was gone. She was so angry she started stomping her feet. The guy was already in the train, sitting in the seat opposite to hers. The guy coughed deliberately to tell the girl that he is already on the train. She saw him and was delighted but she pretended to be still angry with him. The guy joked with the girl and then made her go over to sit with him. The girl was very happy until the guy said, "That's my girl." She started sulking after that.

On the sixth night, the girl was out with her friends. She was bored and called the guy. The guy was at his office working overtime. She told the guy that she wanna meet him and asked if she could go to his office to watch him while he work. The guy said no at first, but she insisted. So, she took the train to his office. When the train reached the station, she alighted, but boarded the train again after a while. Then she called the guy and told him that she is not going over anymore. She took the train to and fro, changing her mind every now and then, until the guy knock off. The guy went to buy her breakfast and as usual brought it up to her house. When he was about to press the doorbell, his phone rang. It was the girl. She called to ask him if he was home yet. He said no. Then she told him to rest early and wished him Goodnight. The guy was bored.

On the seventh night, they were preparing to go for a gala dinner. The girl was in a sexy evening gown. The guy was very unhappy. He asked the girl to change. She changed over and over again and he was unhappy with every dress she had. In the end, she wore her housemate's dress, which was plain and simple. While in the lift, she asked the guy whether he will still love her if she is not what she is anymore. The guy was hesistant with the answer. The girl was very angry.

On the eighth night, the girl went to the repair shop to pick up the guy's laptop because he was supposed to go overseas that night. It was very late and the shop had already closed. She pleaded with the shopkeeper to let her collect the laptop. She succeeded after much trouble. She rushed to the guy's office only to see him walking out with his colleagues leisurely. The guy told her that he had rescheduled his flight. She passed him the laptop and a bag of briefs she had bought for him. He told her that he is going out with his colleagues and asked her to go home. They had a big fight and broke up in the end.

On the ninth night, the girl went to her friend's office and cried. Her friend called the guy up pretending that she had called the wrong number, so that the girl could listen to the guy's voice. The guy appeared nonchalant. For the rest of the night, the girl looked listless and kept telling her friend that she regretted breaking up with the guy. After her friend counseled her, she was fine again.

On the tenth night, she met up with the guy. She told him how she felt after they broke up. When she finished, she saw that the guy was asleep.

On the eleventh night, they were back together again.

On the twelveth night, the girl was posted to Hawaii for her job. The guy applied for a year's leave to go with her. She met up with her ex-boyfriend and realised that he did not cheat on her. She regretted breaking up with him. She was on her way to the guy's office and decided not to meet him afterall. The guy caught a glimpse of the girl before she left. He searched the whole vicinity but to no avail. She saw him searching for her and hid herself from him. She met another guy while doing so. They chatted and that is the start of the first night again.

I think that is exactly what happened in a relationship. The guy's interest in the girl only lasts for a while. When a couple breaks up, the girl usually finds it harder to accept the fact that they are no longer together. When the guy try to salvage the relationship, it is usually too late. Hai~!

Satisfied

I just came back. Bought an OP sling bag just now. I am sooooo happy! KeKe~!

Watched Singapore Idol just now. Poor Olinda got voted out of the competition. I have a feeling that Taufik is gonna win this competition. =X

I am so tired. Gotta study hard for Bio option later.

ArGh~!

I wanted to blog yesterday, but when I clicked on the "Publish Post" button, it gave me a page that says, "No page to display", and my whole post just disappeared. ArGh~! Now, I am going to post for yesterday, and the earlier half of today.

Yesterday
Woke up early to re-boot my computer. After installing all the necessary softwares and programmes, I logged on to the internet. Once I was online, Andry, Jason, and Balielah added me to their conversation. It was like a mini CTG108 online gathering. HaHa~! I remember having a mass Chiang Rai Trip 2003 online gathering soon after we returned to Singapore. It was fun. HaHa~! OK, back to CTG108. KeKe~! Not long after starting the conversation, I was away for a while. When I came back, Balielah disconnected and we couldn't invite her in when she was online again. After a while, my mommy asked me to help her out in the kitchen, so I went away again. When I returned, Jason was gone. So, I had a one-to-one conversation with Andry. We talked about Indiana, the place he is currently studying in. He was telling me that the tallest building there is only 10 storeys, and the music school is 2nd in the States, while the business school used to be in Top 10, now it's in the 11th place. After some time, I logged off for lunch.

After cleaning up the kitchen, I went into my room and cleared away stacks of used paper. I organised the notes too, and kept them away in a safe corner of my room. Now, it looks more like a place for human beings to live in. =X

Today
I set my alarm at 8AM, but I ended up sleeping past the alarm this morning 'coz I was very tired from yesterday's cleaning. Fortunately, my paper is in the afternoon.

Actually, the alarm on my phone went off once at 7AM. I off it and went back to sleep. I only realised that it is Jayanthi's birthday when I see my phone as I wake up. Gonna send her an e-card later.

I'll blog again when I come back later. It is getting late, and I ought to get ready for school.

Mad Girl Disease

LaLaLa~!

Those who have read my Friendster's profile must have gotten a very bad shock 'coz that is not what I will usually write. But, thank goodness, I've changed it back to the original one.

I was really bored yesterday. Fortunately, my cousin was kind enough to chat with me through the night.

Had Lor Mee, indian rojak, and spagetthi for dinner last night. I know it is a lot, but I couldn't help it 'coz I was too hungry. But, I think my appeitite is going back to normal now. I can't even finish my bread now. As usual.

Don't understand what is happening to me. Had been really abnormal recently. It's like another person had taken over me. Hai~!

No paper tomorrow. Can use it to study for Bio option.

I am just bored... ...

I am so bored that I have decided to add another entry here.

Penniless is the word to describe me now. I am so vexed over money matters that I can't even sleep sometimes. I need to get a job! FAST!!! Hai~! Shouldn't have bought the phone so soon. Now I owe my daddy 50 bucks. =X

I seriously need money. I need money for prom. I need money for Christmas presents. I need money for shopping. I need money to LIVE. ArGh~!

Just sent an e-mail to my cousin, begging her to plan something with me for the holidays. I wonder why am I so eager about it since A's is still in progress. And I wonder why I sent her an e-mail instead of a SMS. I think I am just MAD.

Just edited my Friendster's profile too. HeHe~! This is so fun! WeE~! KeKe~!

Hmmm, just flipped through my organiser. Let's see what is in store for me.

Graduation

It is Graduation Day this Friday! Finally it has come. Though graduation will mean that my monotonous JC life is finally coming to an end, it will also mean that A'level is on the way, and coming very soon... ...

I'm very worried about my maths. Statistics is fine, but pure maths is the one that kills me. ArGh~!

I hope I can make it through for A'level... ...

My sis is going to be an IDOL!!! HaHa~! Not Singapore Idol though. It's Greenwood Idol, but I guess it will be quite fun too. Her friends volunteered her. I think she has what it takes to be a school idol too. I hope she wins. =)

It is my nephew's first birthday this Saturday. Haven't got him a present yet. Hmmm, what should I get for him? I think there is nothing much more appropriate than toys for a one-year-old toddler. I shall go and shop around Kiddy Palace tomorrow to see what I can get for him. Hopefully, no one gets him the same gift. There was once my cousin and I bought the same present for another cousin. We bought two identical bags for him. I've learnt my lesson from then on, and decided to go somewhere farther to get presents next time. Really hate to have the same things as my cousins.

Haven't been blogging for quite some time. I guess I am just too lazy, and maybe a little tired too. Nothing much happened anyway. I lead a very boring life. Think that's all for today. TaTa~!
