WHY DO I ALWAYS GET BLOODY CHEATED?!

That's be the question i've asked myself countless number of time.

.......

I can get cheated/conned/bluffed/tricked by whomever on earth.

First, my coach tricks me by telling me that he can see if i've spent too much time on the computer when my pupils become larger.
And I went 'Really?! Sorry... I promise i'll sleep earlier tonight.'

Then my teammate came and continued 'Joan ah, can you see if my pupils are big?'
'No...'
'Because I dont play as much computer as you.'
'Oh...'
And I went back to doing gym work, throughly guilty of spending too much time on the com.

That's case one.

Second case, my good friend by the name of Jin Zhe cheats my money unknowingly. Or maybe he does, but thought I was being too generous.

This took place in Maplestory.

I asked jz to get me 100 mana elixers which cost 640 each.

When he returned, I stupidly passed him 640k.

Dumb.

And he went 'Dont need la. I sell for 30k only.'

At that point of time, I thought he was being overly nice because well, Alan, James, Yy are always rejecting my offer and giving me cash.

Hence, deciding to be self-reliant, I said 'take la'

THEN HE GALDLY ACCEPTED. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

=D

Good friend huh? lol

Anyway, case closed le because Alan and I saboed him by bringing him to a hidden map and causing him to get killed.

Furthermore, he returned me the money. Oh good friend indeed.

BUT THE POINT IS, WHY AM I SO BLOODY DUMB?

I got into acjc btw, congratulate me.

Case three. I sold all 99 different kinds of ores for 10k.

That GUY, cheaterbug Jun879, said 'I buy all from you, 100mesos each'

'Worth so little only meh?'

'Ya. coz you dun have gold ore. Gold more expensive. 200mesos'

(Thank god I still had sense not to sell my gold silver and diamond ores)

So, I sold him and happily went to check the hidden-map site and found out that the ores are worth 150 to 200mesos, with gold 300 mesos.

Then I checked with yy and he said the ores are worth 800 each.

SHIOK AH? I GOT CHEATED. THAT TWERP!!!!!!
SHIT SHIT SHIT

I LOST ABOUT 80K DUE TO DISHONESTY!

!!

I kinda figured out that one day (when i'm really old and a widow because men die earlier than women), I might appear as the old lady who got conned for a magic stone.

And you'll all see my face one Straits Times' frontpage with an open mouth and holding the bloody pebble which could be easliy taken from our school's fishpond.

Here's what i've got to write about my first day spent in Bangkok...
(I blogged about it in my phone)

Day 1- TRAGEDY
I've never felt so depressed in my entire life. Hotel sucks, food sucks, bed sucks, no water heater and even the air smelt stale and reek of unflushed toilet odour. I SHALL NOT PUT STEP IN PRANEE BUILDING OF BANGKOK EVER AGAIN!! Man, if doesn't even deserve half a star. Or even the edge of it. Initially, sis and I were quite hopeful for this stay because the revamped airport far surpasses the old one which threatened to collasp any moment. (The new one has got 'walls' and lifts made entirely of glass!) That was till we met this budget hotel. Wa lau! Stay here for 6 days?! I wanna book a return flight now!! It's all because of Aunty ______! She claimed this hotel is clean, super cheap, serves great tom yam and VERY COMFORTABLE. What a load of crap la! Okay she's got the cheap part right- 400B a night. Hardly more than S$20. Yeah. But hell, we've got a 2-by-2 CELL for a toilet. I brush my teeth, shit, bath, ALL IN THAT CONFINED PATHETIC SPACE! Oh, and we had to bathe in cold water too coz there isnt a bloody heater in sight. Sounds damn like Survivor series for a Singaporean. Furthermore, there the bed with bed sheet that seems (and smells) like it hasnt been in the wash for ages. Goodness! How to stay?! The stupid old aircon makes a hell lot of noise too and none of us dared use the towel.

Later, we had the tom yam. Tom Yam Goong is supposedly a seafood dish right? Right. THEN WHY ON EARTH IS OUR TOM YAM SO FILLED WITH BLOODY PARSLEY AND LEMON GRASS?! I managed to count the prawns (the only existence of seafood in the dish) and the number mounted to a fantastic 8. Well done man... give lucky number somemore. I even considered classifying them as non-existent shrimps instead.

I just popped a question to sis: ' what are you going to tell aunty ______ when she asks us about the hotel?'

'I want to slap her face'

Speaks alot bout our condition isnt it?

Anyway, I've stopped blogging since Day 3 because i've totally changed my mind bout the place. Ok we got to upgrade to a better room with water heater and cleaner beds but that's besides the point.

The point is, the people there are damn friendly!

This, coupled with TWO great dogs, makes it all worthwhile. Hey the dogs are darn cute! One belongs to the hotel (okay I've decided to promote it's standing), a Golden Retriver, and the other is a baby Poodle belonging to another staff.

My! The Poodle's adorable! It doesnt look like a dog, rather, it resembles a lamb because the fur is all curly and it isnt bigger than the size of my feet. Er, that's size 38, go figure.

And it squeaks~~~

Heh and the big dog's scared of it.

=D

It's really a nice feeling to know everyone in that place. Kinda like a small family.

Hence, we decided that we shall return next year! Not a bad idea too- scrimp on lodging and slurge on food and shopping!

Take a look at my pics! Hmm not much because my darling died on the third day and I didnt bring the charger =(

Bangkok!

On the plane...

The revamped airport. Gucci, Salvadore Ferregamo, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, ALL AVALIABLE!

Day one of depression. Sis suggested we take this photo as the bottle says 'expiry 2050' senseless, I know. We were depressed as you can see.

Take 2. We got silk bed spreads.

Tada! 2-by-2 cell of a toilet. I didnt exegerate now... couldnt even take the walls at the side.

Fruits at a smoothie shop. Clean and prepared! Nothing like those at our kopitiams.

5th December was the King's birthday. EVERY THAI WORE YELLOW AND EVERY POSTER IN SIGHT HAD 'LONG LIVE THE KING'. They love their king man!

Steals at Platinum Centre. Oh, this was the better room we stayed.

Dad happily digging into his fresh oysters. SOMBOONG SEAFOOD MARKET!!! Highly recommended. Ask any thai around and they can direct you to that place. They've got 4 in Bangkok alone.

Our dishes! Clockwise from left- steamed Garoupa, pinapple rice, chilli crab, BBQ butter prawns coupled with coconut drinks. SHIOK!

They even had shelling services. (with pretty ladies) =D

Damn full.

And happy!

There's this male waiter who made this bunny out of the wet handkercheif for my mother. Sis got obsessed with it ever since... played with it on the taxi... till mom got irritated and kept it it a plastic bag... now it's gone. HA

All hail the KING! Oh on the night of his birthday every thai gathered at various shopping centres like MBK over here and prayed for him.

Bimbotic.

That's all! Looking forward to Mr Loh's BBQ tomorrow. Ciao

Been playing Maplestory alot these days. Okay from morning to night. Hey it's quite a nice game really. Got to make some nice friends and strengthen present friendship ties.

AND MAKE SOME ENERMIES.

Blogging about this makes me fume once again.

Yesterday evening, I was engaged in a Party Quest. For those who know what it is, I shant eleborate. In any way, I wasn't the leader of the party thus was instructed to change channels every 5 seconds.

Then in channel 14, I met this character named LcWboi, the Loser as evident later, who requested me to sell my glove scroll to him.

As I was about to sell, my leader pmed me and told me to change channel.

And I did.

Nothing wrong right? Must listen to instructions ma!

So I changed a couple of times, notifying loser LcWboi on the way.

Finally, we settled on channel 7 and when loser LcWboi found me,
HE BLOODY DEFAMED ME!!!
Of course, it came to me as a shock, having experiencing such actions for the first time. However most importantly, I was confused. My intentions were totally pure and I did my best to notify him!

You know what was his reason?: 'you waste my time'

...........

And he continued saying if you sell me the scroll I can fame you back.

........

TA MA DE!!!! BLACKMAIL AH?! WHO HE THINK HE IS BARGAIN WITH LAO NIANG LIKE THAT?!

Have you seem such twerp before? Yeah same case too- NEVER.

I was so mad, and in addition to my hot temperedness, I shouted : 'WTH I'M NOT SELLING THE SCROLL!' 'BASTARD' 'MASS DEFAME!'

And he said 'I have 20 acc. I will defame you now.'

Tada! within 3 mins, my hard gained fame dropped by 4. I WAS SO PISSED!!!

THAT PRAWN BRAIN KUKU HEAD!!!

In the first place, why on earth would a guy have 20 accounts?! Ah.. that explains- HE'S GAY LA. Petty bloody gay.

Anyway, my kind leader told my to log out for a while first and in a while, I hid in Zipangu, a hidden map.

And I thought, 'why hide ah? I wasn't the one at fault right?!'

So I came out to Kerning and he bloody found me and defamed me again.

I went 'STOP IT LA!'.

Goodness it almost seems like I was begging. Okay I was, 45%. And that was so beyond my pride to do so.

THAT BASTARD. I WISH I KNEW HIM PERSONALLY AND WOULD GALDLY PAY SOMEONE TO CASTRATE HIM.
Heh okay la a abit too crude and un-ladylike. But hell I was SO mad!

Yeah and he stopped. #$%^

Everything's alright now though i'm obviously still feeling sore bout this case. I shall track him each time i'm online and have an unused fame, and DEFAME him while everyone's selling stuff so he wouldn't see who did it to him.

Hahah two can play the dirty game.

PS: I'm not THAT evil to people, really. I fame nice strangers foc okay =D

2006-10-23T20:06:00.000-07:00

MY INTERNET CONNECTION IS WORKING AGAIN!!

*hops around in gee*

2006-10-16T20:03:00.000-07:00

And i've decided to update!(finally) No more school for dear sec 4s! Hahah that's something worth blogging about ain't it?

=D

Anyway, I had a blast taking team photos yestersday. How I love my teammates. Haven't felt that close to them for quite a while so yesterday was definately a memorable moment. Oh man.. i'm reminded (once again) that none of them would be fencing again! *sobs* Dear juniors, PLEASE do continue fencing okay? I know! Take part in Nat trials ().

Um about yesterday, let me offer an apology for neglecting the juniors for a while. Sorry!! Yeah your seniors were being asses when we kept taking the 'sec 4s only' photos. =( I swear we didnt meant to keep you guys all suit up and stoning by the side. Well, at least not intentionally. Hence, I upload the team photos asap. Hmm in the meanwhile, you guys may check out Jas's or yiyao's blog. Hahah sorry la... I live in a cave with no high speed coms. Er partly also because i'm too lazy to transfer everything from my cam to the com then wait for another 5 mins for just 1 photo to get uploaded onto blogger.

But the photos taken were seriously nice.

Oh I read in the papers some time ago that Singapore would go all wireless next year!! OK time to bug my mom for a labtop.

=D

Ahh.. if i do manage to get one at the end of this year... let's just say muhahhaha. Shall bring them on overseas comps too! cool.

Alright time to get my ass of the com and start mugging! Wish me luck for O levels people! Ciao

2006-08-13T06:44:00.000-07:00

Ehh i've been thinking alot these days, most of my thoughts about becoming a marine biologist. Sounds pretty cool right? The first few images I get would be...

Case1: Operating on a rare fish ( I reckon I got that from one of the comprehension passages I did)
Case2: Swimming with sharks and abserving their habitat!
Case3: Rescuing a blue whale

Hahah for those whom are wondering where on earth did I get such a crazy idea, well, I heard it from TV. *blush* In fact, it was from a scene during NDP whereby they show little children with big dreams and then there was this girl standing infront of an aquarium saying 'I want to be a marine biologist'. And I told myself, 'Yeah I wanna be a marine biologist too!!!' Hahah instant copycating huh?

Anyway, all these thus lead to my research on becoming a marine biologist. Alright I didn't have a single clue of that occupation initially so, I went around asking fellow fencers and I just did some surfing on the Net. Hmm... it turns out that I really have to be one in a million to be in this field. Furthermore, I doubt getting local degrees would do me any help.

What the.. you know what Wei Wen said?!

Joan: Weiwen! I want to be a marine biologist.
Weiwen: Aiya Joan.. I tell you are, dreams can change very easily one. Primary one I want to be Superman. Primary two, I change- I want to be spiderman. Primary three, I want to be THE FLASH (what's that?!) Then Primary four, I decided I want to be a policeman! Primary five, I change again...Spiderman!! See la, now i'm a policeman. (yeah he's working in the police unit in NS and is damn proud of his bright yellow raincoat which he uses to stop traffic. heh loser right?)

Hahah I love weiwen man! Ah, don't get it wrong, the whole Nat team knows we're damn close friends and we always hang out at 7-11 for a drink after training. But that's besides the point. The point is, it'd be rather impossible to get into that field and besides, i'm still young to make career decisions now. Yes, reminds me.. I haven't even gotten an O level cert.

Oh well, maybe that little girl on TV would get to be the marine biologist instead since she's lucky enough to get selected to proclaim it on air.

As for myself, I'm still feeding my interest on that field. For a start, you may wanna check this web
: http://www.oceanlink.island.net/oinfo/oinfo.html

2006-08-11T21:49:00.000-07:00

Yawn*
I'd be fencing in two hours' time! Gosh I wish i'd be sleeping in two hours' time instead.

Anyway, TV's darn addictive! Yesterday, I ended training early so I could rush home for last min revision before Physics test today but yeah you got it- I ended up watching 3 hours of TV straight. Shucks mommy should just bash the monitor then my head the next time i'm couch-potato. 9pm: some lame chinese drama (with hot guy). 10pm: ghost whisperer 11pm: ramdom shows. AND, this coming monday's whole new season of America's next top model!

Uh-oh..

I still wanna watch the hot guy and um... bitchy girls =D

2006-08-10T04:59:00.000-07:00

Yawn... it's been such a tiring day. Right.. don't I say that everyday in school? Hahah but honestly, i'm tired... Come to think of it, when was the last time I said I felt energised? Hmm during P6 years? Yeah probably. That was the year I enjoyed most (cause I kept getting top scores in my exams! hee hee).

Typical scene in class:

Joan: Wa kau I very tired!!!! *stretches*
Grace: Aiya Joanie...since when were you not tired. Everyday also say the same thing one...
Joshua: Wa Joan... what did you do last night? huh huh huh?
Sheedy: (looks up from his everlasting work) Ya la Joan...
Joan: Whatever. I'm still very tired. Hmm shouldn't be what.. I slept at 11.30pm last night. Quite normal... (proceeds to stretching and yawning)

See? I'm only not like that during the mornings when I rush to the canteen for a dosage of Nescafe. Hey come to think of it, I see Gavin quite often when i'm down. He'd be buying... Vitasoy? Hahah i'm not very sure. (Gavin, if you happen to see this post, maybe you can enlighten me. =D) Who knows, maybe there's someone who's like me too!

Alright. Enough of that. I TELL YOU, I ALMOST DIED TODAY!!!

*gasps*

I was at a group study session at Causeway point's Mac with Alan, Jinzhe, Joshua, Yiyao when that botak fella (yiyao) suddenly hit me on my shoulders whilst I was in the midst of swallowing coke!! Oh my gosh at that instant, I thought I was going to drown with coke in my windpipe! Mind you, I was swallowing quite a gulp of coke when that happened and the coke totally covered (if that's the correct word) my windpipe that there was this image that... that...yeah 'BLOCKED' just flashed in my mind. You get the idea la... normally when there's choking there'd still be a tinny weeny bit of space for you to cough but this time there wasn't. Furthermore, that hit left me without air, so how to stuck in air to cough out? Anyway, I didn't know what happened but I did manage to cough out a bit then swallow. Okay I know that's disgusting, but hey as much as i'd like to, i'm not going to puke unceremoniously in public. (Hmm.. maybe if yiyao gives me the permission to, i'd gladly puke on him to save my life.) Yeah. That left me shocked after that. I seriously thought I was going to die okay...

Hahah what happened after that.. let's see.. I think I purposely coughed at Yiyao's direction and he got rather pissed, claiming that i'd spread HIV to him or something though my saliva. Yeah I know, it's rather rude to do that, especially since i'm a girl, but heck with that. I need to get some revenge for almost losing my life don't I?

Yes. Of course I do.

Oh hahah after that Josh rebutted him, saying that HIV can't be spread through saliva but Yiyao claim otherwise. Then, I did the meanest thing ever! I said ' HIV can be spreaded through saliva only when there's open wounds. Oh yah I forgot! Yiyao got lots of pimple on his face!! HAHAH'

Yiyao I'm so sorry!!!! Sorry I really didn't mean it cause your face is seriously healing but yeah I just like to make fun of you like that. It's that shiok feeling I get when I see you pissed. Kinda funny. Okay okay I know, that's sadistic. Sorry yah?

Hee hee. I still think it's funny la. But, it's never meant to hurt.
Alright.. gotta go!

2006-08-09T00:58:00.000-07:00

Hey guys I'm helping my coach's nephew with his Project Work.. it's a survey. Do answer it if you can. Won't take ten mins.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=465222407905

Thanks!!

2006-08-06T03:15:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh I finally tried the NZ T-bone Steak from Jack's Place!!! Oh my... shiok! I practically devoured the steak except for some fats and tendon. Hmmmm so full =D A well fed person is a happy person. Anyway, mommy promised to bring us out for a good meal once every month when she gets her salary so yeah i'm definitely looking forward to them! *rubs stomach*

Friday had been a REAL tough day. Firstly, I was cheated by the SSC people. Wth.. they sent me an sms on thursday saying that i'm supposed to go for physiotherphy that week so I thought, since it's physiotherphy and not massage, it's fine because i'd have training and it's bad to have a sports massage before that. So on Friday, I went down all the way to Kallang at 4pm and to my greatest shock, the physiotherpist said that my MSK's done and all I need now is a MASSAGE. Now, for your information, this type of massage is not even close to those in spas. They literally squash your muscles and go deep in. Yes, and I bet they enjoyed it when us poor souls scream and suffer under their torture. Okay la.. they're nice people but they don't give a damn when you scream cause it's for 'your own good'. Whatever... I was left with a sore leg after that.

Unfortunately, I couldn't go home after that because we had to do some strength and conditioning thing and the kallang gym or whatever they call that place. Sounds fine right? No it wasnt.

WE HAD TO LIFT WEIGHTS

It's true!! We did a sort of a circuit training which ultimately would strengthen our muscles so they won't be prone to strains and tear and whatevers (yah right...don't they always mean good?). For those who know me, you should know that I can't as hell do more than two incline pull-ups. Wth we had to do 3 X 8 sets of bench presses, squats and everything with weights! FIFTEEN TO TWENTY KGS OKAY?! And finally, conclude with gymnastic sit-ups and some other thing which we swore after that we all could feel the packs forming. Anyone wanna join our programme?

Oh I have news: tomorrow we're doing it again.

Smile, Joan. You bet it's gonna be great.

2006-08-03T04:35:00.000-07:00

Saw this on Jasmine's blog, thought I would give it a try. Turns out...

Out of a possible 55 points, you scored:
Foil: 35
Epee: 10
Sabre: 10

You are a foil fencer.
Foil is a weapon of calculation and passion. You glide easily between attack and defense. You can flick to the back or thrust to the chest.

What Kind of Fencer Are You?

Told cha... God had it all planned out for me!

2006-08-02T00:11:00.000-07:00

Were you even aware that there IS technique to walk and stand? I bet not. Because I weren't. I mean, yes people with common sense know that running has a technique, singing has too... but walking and standing?! A bit ridiculous huh?

Ahh... before I come to the main content, I managed to skip school today!! Hahah, shiok! For those who are unaware, our team's actually due for a health check at SSC, so we had blood tests and X-ray at Camden Medical Centre last week. This time, we had to go to the Sports and Medical Research Centre at Kallang for the results, and well, just more checks.

Yep. That's how I got to know about all that standing and walking because it turns out that my backbone's a bit curve at the top. No it's not the result of slouching because I don't do that, in fact, it's caused by leaning my weight on one hip when I stand. Hey people who have the habit of doing that, don't! You don't want a neck tipping to one side do you? Yeah I realised that most girls like myself and Cheryl (teo) do that quite often. It happens whether or not we're tired from all that standing and well, I think some girls do that because it accentuates their hips and shows off their curvy figure right? Heh now that I'm more informed, I won't do that again- I don't want a neck like the leaning tower of Pisa!

Oh okay, I just remembered I have a picture to illustrate my posture...

There. SEE? I do that eveytime I'm on a standstill!

Now, the walking part. Actually, I still have no clue whether my walking technique is correct or not, just that the physiologist said that when I walk, I'm not supposed to just flop my knees but bend them properly with control.

You get it?

I don't, and neither does Yuling.

Aiya simple la... wear heels la! Heels- they make women's butts look smaller and tighter, give shape to calf muscles and now, they don't make us walk with flopping knees! Oh, plus, they add height to petite Asians. Okay the last part not for me, but yeah i'm pretty supportive of wearing heels anyway.

I ended the day with a sports massage given by a lady with name starting with the alphabet 'S'. Err.. Serene?Sarah? Shucks I don't remember. Hahah I only remembered her telling me that it's such a simple name and i just replied with a 'heh heh'. Oh yah she also told me to lay a thick towel on the floor and lie there for 15 mins to correct my posture because apparently my left shoulder's higher than my right. I reckon it's probably due to curling up when I sleep. I always had that habit since young and since i'm much 'longer' than my big bloster now, I tend to curl more to fully hug it. Hai what to do? I'm too young to get married and hug a man so for now, i'll just have to lie on the floor.

Alright, this pretty sums up everything for today.

2006-07-31T00:53:00.000-07:00

Since i've got the chance to use the school's labtop, more photos coming up! They're still the ones taken in Australia though... enjoy!

Cheers! We love Gelati!

Me (right) and Liane (left). 'True friends stab you in the front...'

Justin, Alex (background). Me, Cheryl, Matthew, Liane (background).

Justin was just trying to be innovative. Something about having a 'flash-head' i think...

Hmm can read? It's actually about this accuracy and refelxes test (they call it a competition) that fencers/non-fencers can take part. Basically, you do a beat attack on the dummy and upon hitting, there'd be a timing for your refelxes. They even have a category for the 'Old and Feeble' to take part! It's craziness. Aussies are a funny lot sometimes.

The QVB (Queen Vistoria Building)! Ain't it grand?!

How the building looks like on the outside.

OH the additional pic:

Yuanzi and me!

that's all folks!

2006-07-30T05:31:00.000-07:00

What the hell?! I had been totally ignorant of the 'Add Image' icon on the toolbar until Yiyao told me about it and so that means all along, I had to upload photos on photobucket first before transfering it here!!! Oh my gosh that was plain stupidity.

I SHALL RESOLVE TO ADD IMAGES WHEN I BLOG!!!
here goes:

Southeast Asian Fencing Championships 2006, Manilla

(ehh still takes quite long for me to upload it on blogger... sob)

World Junior and Cadet Championships, Taebaek City, Korea.
Gosh look at the final piste!!! I'll kill to get there man..

Where we stayed for Australian U-15 &17- MOTEL OKAY??! WE cant even bathe properly and the water's cloudy! Plus, we had to walk 2 km just to get food. It was a sh** hole.

Libcombe! Where we stayed!! It was a lonely town anyway. We took this train to Circular Quay, where the Opera house is. The seats are damn cool la! You can actually shift it to whichever direction you like to face. That's my coach, Yulia, Alex and Justin, from left to right.

Me! AH see? Singaporeans are damn copycats- they shrink the Opera House, add sinilar spikes and tada! ESPLANADE!! Hai...

Ahh.. this is one class picture!

alright. gotta go

2006-07-28T18:49:00.000-07:00

Finally... after 3 years of waiting...

WE GOT GOLD!
AND, THE GUYS GOT SILVER!

Sigh.. it's the last and concluding competition for most of my teammates. Oh man... it's so depressing. I don't really have chances to meet and talk to them in school and oh well, let's just say i might not meet them again after they graduate.

Yeah we took ALOT of photos for memory's sake yesterday. I didnt bring my camera! Argh anyway I got Jas to take for me so yes, I WILL be uploading them onto this blog soon.

Hmm.. besides those sad thoughts, I must say we're pround to get a total of five silver, four golds and two bronze throphies! I'm currently chatting with Grace and she thinks I must be really happy with such a windfall. Actually, i'm rather sad. Yeah yeah it's gonna be a depressing entry again I know, but hey, this competition marks the LAST time they're gonna fence! It's really the last time I'd see them fence! Gosh I can still rememeber the times we spent together in sec one training so damn dilligently and what, aspiring to be national fencers, thinking of what we're gonna print at the back of our lames, bring blades back to train on our own... let's just say it's a full-stop to that chapter in our lives now.

But anyway, on a lighter note, we'd be the first team in history to get gold in the 1st Inter-school National Competition! Hmm that's nice. At least I'd be able to remember my teammates the next time Fencing Singapore organises an inter-school. Ahh... for that, we're getting the principal to hand out our throphies during morning assembly on monday! Ey hello fencing has remained so unheard of unlike volleyball! At times when we get medals, the school doesn't even announce our achievements. Hahah, again, unlike volleyball, they would jump at every opportunity to get their sport recognised. *sticks out tongue*

[Ok Danial or Daryl, if you happen to read this, no offence. I'm not trying to target you guys or volleyball in general, just trying to say that you guys inspire us to be the same. Heh.]

Alright I guess that's all about what I have to say. I'm rather glad that the RI fencers won't be quitting fencing after secondary school. At least I still have friends! Yeah and I took pictures with them too! Shall upload them next time.

2006-07-26T04:43:00.000-07:00

Gosh... it's been a tiring day. The only comforting thought is that I managed to skip school!

=)

Anyway, today has made a mark in my personal fencing records- I won all my opponents in my round robin poule 5-0 and ended at first placing after first round!!! Heh heh feast your eyes on the words man.

Ok ok... i still lost to cheryl in the end. ARGH! Another silver medal! Seriously, i used to think that silver's not bad and it's kinda prettier than gold, but then after all these years or getting silvers and bronzes, I"M SICK OF THEM! RAhh

BUT. I'm still happy for cheryl, cause the Women's Foil Team loves one another!

Alright.. enough rambling for the day. God.. my muscles are aching all over!

2006-07-21T01:58:00.000-07:00

Ahh! Hello there mon ami. Sorry for deserting this lonely blog for quite some time... you see, some people just do not have the bliss of having wireless connection or high speed laptops. Hence, it's utterly frustrating to wait for such a long time just to upload photos.

So many things have been happening in my life! (Thank God it's not as lonely as this blog) For one, as my previous post mentioned, i've had an incredible trip to Australia. Ook i can't possibly load all the photos here althought i'd like to, hence i've been avoiding this blog. Secondly, the Beauty and the Beast musical! Gosh it was great performance. Hahah before that, I watched Pirates Of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest with Ruolin and Penelope. Jonny Depp's F***ing crazy! The whole show got us all laughing like some lunatics in the threatre. Oh well, luckily there weren't many people there or we'll probably be shown middle fingers for disrupting the show. I couldn't really laugh towards the ending of the movie because my bladder was so full, I swore anymore laughter would cause it to burst. Now, THAT would certaintly be more unglam than loud laughter.

I've come to realise how much i'd miss this class after graduating. We've had so much fun! If you'd remember, mon ami, in 1999 there was this Best 99' CD that was a hit? A thought struck me yesterday bout the times I spent with my sis singing songs in it and i simply uttered 'Boom Boom Boom Boom' or something like that to Jasmine. After that, i got excited reminising about the past that i infected those around me. Hahah, we ALL sang songs from that CD afterwards! It's so funny recalling them and come to think of it, the lyrics were hilarious! Danial sang 'ai yaee yai i'm a little butterfly' and that part got me and Jas laughing like siao, if you know what we're thinking of. No offense. (Danial's cute singing it anyway)

I did not go to school today due to slight flu so i've no idea if Jas brought the CD to play it during free period. I would love to hear it again! Heh Josh mentioned playing it for PROM NIGHT, that crazy guy.

Alright, I realised i've updated quite a bit after all that talk about deserting it. I'll get myself a laptop first before starting to upload photos. Yes, reminds me, i've yet to get an iPod! Argh... my current Mp3's pathetic..

2006-06-28T05:34:00.000-07:00

hello! Blogging from Aussieland over here. Yeah other than the fact that my waterbottle 'exploded' again on the flight, hence ruining my worksheets, things have been pretty normal for me over there. The weather's GREAT!! Hell, I don't even feel like bathing in the lousy bathroom of our Motel.

It is mainly sightseeing for us today, spent half the day travelling on the train and arriving at the Great Sydney Opera House where I took a shitload of pictures.

Okay I guess i'll eleborate more when i return since the laptop i'm using now belongs to my coach and the battery's running low.

Till then, everyone do take care! I'd be going on msn once everyday so dear 4P2 if you happen to see me, please tell me the homework i have to do.

Love.

2006-06-19T06:30:00.000-07:00

It's astonishing how time really flies. I kept telling myself that it's only another day over and poof! -THE LAST WEEK OF THE HOLS!!

Well, on comforting thought, at least I may trust that i've enjoyed the hols. You know they say time flies when some pleasent event's happening, all that good things never last? Oh well.

*smirks (At least someone's going off on the 27th night!)

Anyway, i've just realised that i'm left with the last week of hols and plenty of holiday homework to complete. Yeah.. i reckon it's got something to do with trainings and preparing for comps over the weekends. Hey it's not that i'm complaining, in fact, i love training. Still, you'd wish that you've had more time, better management, all that blah at this point of time right?

Right. Bet you guys agreed.

I'm still waitiing for the second last book of Anita Blake series to complete reading it. Man, the ending of the story's so uncomplete! Well, at least they should have somewhat like Anita and Jean-Claude being together and Richard living with his lupa or whatever, but NO, the author had to end it the weird way. For what? Impression?

Okay gotta go.

2006-06-12T18:35:00.000-07:00

I'm gonna take an SQ flight to Aussieland! *smirks Movies!
Now, the last time I took an SQ was in 2004 where we had gone to Thailand for the Open competition-I didnt even know there's such thing as inflight movies (!). AH HA now that i've had more experience, you bet i'm gonna have a movie marathon!

Now, now, i've done research...and i've realised that I can have the best of both worlds! You see, i'd be departing on the 28th which allows me access to this month's movies. Arrival on the 4th would then allow me to view next month's. Hence, for departure, I shall watch Aquamarine and probably... Daisy? Hahah there's Ice age for next month's movies! And... Take the Lead, Benchwarmers, the Shaggy Dog... whee so exciting!

Right... I cant wait!

2006-06-11T07:47:00.000-07:00

I'm in love with something that's

ohhh tender

a little bloody perhaps?

Simply ohh la la, delicious!

Jack's Place's NZ T-bone steak!
Oh my gosh anyone tried it? Anyone? ANYONE?
Wa siao, it's damn surdub la! Alright, I admit I did not personally try it (so much for advertising), but instead, it was a piece from Slava'a plate. Man, the goodness melts in your mouth I say. After the first bite, I wanted to scream 'More!!! I want more!!'. Then again, i shall not be as evil as to deprive the poor man of a meal after all that hard work he did for us. Hey, one piece of that steak and it totally blew me off my socks okay! So you can imagine what the whole plate would do to me. I'll probably beg the staff to let me work in the kitchen as a dishwashing woman just to have steak everyday.

Okay, maybe not. Afterall, it's not worth spending one's youth in exchange for that dead piece of half-cooked meat.

So to continue, three days after, which is today, I tried finding a replacement for that wonderful steak. (Well, you know... wonderful steak costs alot too) In good spirit, I happily ordered steak from the western food stall in Ten Mile Junction. Puiiii! It totally threw me off ok! Literally! I wanted to spit that piece of yucky meat on the tray if not for that $7.50 which kept it in my mouth. What the...it doesnt taste like steak at all with that BBQ sauce on it that doesnt even taste like whatever BBQ served on Earth. I've learnt my lesson... pay for the quality or you'll end up eatting sh*t.

Yeah after that, mom just promised to bring me to Jack's Place for steak for my birthday.

2006-05-26T22:27:00.000-07:00

Mother Tongue O levels approaching in two days's time (!)
Hey it's supposed to be MOTHER TONGUE (aka the easiest paper), so why the hell am i so worried about? Gahh.. ISP the whole week has already made us swallow in all the beautiful phrases.. till then, i'll just keep them in (and swallow more) and vomit everything out during the paper. Simple! Hehheh it's kinda like repeating the scenerio of the Geog paper except this time, it's gonna be wayyy easier. Whee!

Anyway, i've heard form Danial that application for NJC's extended. Hmm.. something inside me tells me that I should apply this time round. Yeah something inside me also tells me that I probably have one in a million chances to get in. Aiya who cares right? A Singaporean should not let any chances bypass their faces no matter how microscopic the weeny chance is. Hence I shall send my application form! Don't care if it's a sloopy one... just send! Oh reminds me, i'm going for a party tonight CLAD IN A SARI! Heh Women's Foil Team totally rules man! They got me a sari during their trip to Chennai. So nice right? Right! Yay.. i'm expecting good food tonight.

*Gasp* Danial just told me that ACJC's application form's up already! Err.. is it a bit too much if I send in one more?.... yeah it is la. Kiasu also must have limit one. Haha actually i've got this fantasy that after sending in application forms to the top five jcs, all came back with a positive response. Hee hee stupid me. But it would be flattering won't it? Don't deny lah.. you know you want that too. *smirks

So long, my dear friends, don't get too stressed up over Os. For myself, i'm gonna reward myself with a movie (X men lll) after school!

2006-05-23T02:39:00.000-07:00

DSA application's finally up!

i must get into Raffles Junior College, i must, i must i MUST!!!

sheesh i've got to improve my handwriting or some tempermental teacher will write 'If you do not improve your handwrite by Prelims, YOU WILL FAIL!!' again. And nope, i'm certaintly not going to allow my future to be dragged down by such stupid factors, hence, improve my handwriting i will.

Yeah I praying hard that i'll get a confirmation letter to RJC. Prestigious okay! Then again, as a true Singaporean, one must not take risks and hence, it's better i submit more DSAs to other JCs. Hehheh.. Hwachong! A bit sian to write so much stuff la and i've particularly no clue as to how to describe myself and why i think i'm suitable for that JC or whatsoever to be included in the portfolio.

Oh well...

2006-05-19T22:03:00.000-07:00

I've been burying my nose in novels for the past few days. Yes, i consider that true blessing! Check out Anita Blake the Vampire Series, people!

Anyway, i havent been blogging for quite a while now that i realised... The trip to Manila was err..er.. a new experience. Right, first of all, the food S-U-C-K-E-D. EVERYTHING comes with rice! when i say everything, i mean everything-KFC, Kenny Rogers, Jap food, Western food, Pizzahut.. u name it, there's rice on it. I almost vomit blood on the spot i tell you. What's more, the rice served was NOT at all fragrant like what we have in Singapore. Okay excuse me for having such comparisons but there's no way I'm gonna admit that rice there is edible.

Here's the good catch: Shopaholics, Manila does indeed offer MEGAmalls. Oh man.. the MEGAmalls there will put dear Lot 1 to shame. Let's just say it's fifteen times the size of it, no joke. We almost lost our way trying to find an exit okay. Then again, i didnt manage to get anything much although the prices were very affordable. No time to shop(again) la... all i got were a couple of bars of soap for my friends and stuff from body shop, as well as a HUGE TEDDY BEAR (!). The bear is darn cute! Bought it for about $30 only so i guess for such a gigantic bear, it's rather worth it. I named it 小明 afterwards.

Hmm i got 5th placing for my competition. Not too bad but not too good either.. oh well. Shall stop here. I dont feel like blogging anymore.

2006-05-11T08:39:00.000-07:00

EXAMS ARE OVER!!! O-V-E-R!! everyone say woooo!

wooo!

man.. it's just such a relieve ain't it? i think i got 10 kg off my shoulders. ah ha.. bet you people out there are enjoying yourselves to the fullest right? okay okay enjoy enjoy. we deserve it! anyway, i'm going off to Manila tmr morning so i'm gonna have to catch some sleep now or i'll wake up at 4 am and i'll feel like hitting the snooze button again ( well that's what i always so but i'm gonna have to change). yeah wish me luck and if i'm lucky, i'll get gifts for ALL of you. ALL okay?

*smirks

so u see? if anything happen to me it's so gonna be your fault. heh i've not told you i that i'll feel cranky when i need sleep. yeah before i go, please do NOT divulge anything to me about Poseidon... i'm gonna catch it with Grace and Weini on tuesday! hurray!

ciao!

2006-05-05T09:18:00.000-07:00

hey yiyao and jasmin, if u happen to read this, i just received the invitation for Fencing Singapore International (0806-1106) venue would be at the new SMU sports hall in TOWN! the official hotel's 3 min walk away from the competition venue and i think the price should be resonable since u can bunk together like what we did in 2004. yeah if u want to go, just drop me a sms and i'll send the invitation to u. maybe if u guys wanna bunk together i can stay with u all?

2006-04-30T21:57:00.000-07:00

geog AND physics tomorrow! shit i haven't even got a chance to glance any physics formula yet and yeah i have NOT completed revision for geog. not good.

anyway, i had training this morning. learnt alot. i dont know, i feel that i'm not prepared for SEAFF, which btw, is NEXT WEEK!!! hahah good news? i'm leaving for Manila right after the last paper! flight's at 7.10 am! shiok right... then again, here i am trying to squeeze my schedule so that i can fit in trainings and revision. suck i hate exams. oh yeah reminds me i've no idea why people in my block's so suay. since the start of exams there's been 2 funerals already! like you know the first day at seven pm there'd be the loud chanting and blowing of suonas. second day's the burial or something then they'd continue their music till bout 1 pm before they close the coffin and proceed to other stuffs. coincidently, both funerals start on a sunday and end on monday. last monday we didnt have school right? funeral. today too!!! argh! but it's quite comical seeing the coffin people pack up after the first funeral then the next day set up for the second one.

aiya i'm talking rubbish. but anyway, my cousin's wedding's approaching. ah ha! it's the next day after i return from manila! hehheh i'm gonna take this chance to get myself a nice formal attire.

okay see ya in school!

2006-04-28T23:21:00.000-07:00

shit. i pulled my right theigh muscle again. argh!!! what does misfortune always befall me?! anyway, matthew came back for training recently. yay welcome back! he's power la... when i first returned i couldnt do footwork for nuts and my limbs shivered like siao. then yesterday, i witnessed matt doing a full lunge! like what after six months? okay la i admit my legs are just muscle-less. oh evonne passed me the nail polish i wanted!! heh it got me admiring my nails soon after. anyone wanna lend?

i've got this sudden urge to say VOTE FOR PAP!!!

sorry i'm that random. but yeah i'm been pressing my mum to vote for Dr Teo Ho Pin for my estate. i'm not sure if it's the influence of social studies, but now, i seem to think that PAP's best in governing. it's kinda true isnt it?

2006-04-27T02:07:00.000-07:00

wahh exams are driving me crazy. oh here's something to cheer you guys up =)
(oh dont be mistaken, i dont invent such bo liao stuff. i merely repeat what my classmates wrote on the board)
here goes..

study = no fail -1
no study = fail -2
(1+2)
study+ no study =no fail +fail
study (1+no)= fail (1+no)
therefore, STUDY =FAIL !!!!

hehheh

then again, it's a risk it yourself formula. so yeah ppl, mug man!

2006-04-21T22:16:00.000-07:00

hey! i've found a GREAT way to study!

the voiddeck.

yep. as the name applies, it's practically devoid of people =) okay u must be wondering why i chose to study downstairs when i have a home but hey out there- i dont have the luxury of having the house to myself okay. like today, my mother has to tutor from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm. and u dont expect me to be able to study in such a NOISY environment do u? man, i cant even stand music when i'm studying (look here, josh). AND, there's this irritating army guy upstairs who's busying sawing something that he seems to last for ages.

damn him.

anyway, i think i've finished revision for today. will continue again during band com. yes, they BETTER get gold with honours okay... fancy the school spending $4000 (!) on transport for everyone to be present to cheer them on. good luck people, you'll need it. =)

2006-04-14T20:20:00.000-07:00

i'm exhausted. i think i'm gonna crack under pressure soon. SEAFF's a span from 0805 to 1505 so i think i'd be missing some papers. hey i dont want to okay! like right now, i cant really prioritise b/w fencing and studies. oh... and it feels like i havent been to church for a long time.

2006-04-14T03:45:00.000-07:00

oh gosh!!! my literature essay's gone!!! ahhh i should have known that floopy As arent trustworthy!!! NOW WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO?? I DONT WANNA RETYPE!!!

shit~~~

2006-04-13T02:17:00.000-07:00

HELLLLLOOOO~ HELLO!
muah is back!ahnehaseyo!(correct spelling?)

i loved the korea trip. went to Taebaek City btw and it's high (680m above sea level) up in the mountaineous regions. yes, it was super cold! shiok! but ahhh the food... sucked. okay not including dinner for the last two nights because we had proper/(real?) korean food. all right i shall be nice and describe my trip :) no photos though because i'm still charging my dear cam which passed-out halfway through.

first day. flight to korea took 7 hrs, of which i slept 6 hrs. damn no one woke me up for my meal!! so after arriving, we were all hungry and ate at KFC. sob... i hate fastfood. why do i always see fastfood EVERYWHERE?! after that, we had to take a bus from Incheon Airport to Taebaek City. the bus ride was supposed to take 5 hrs because well i suppose mountains are far away from airports BUT this bus driver had to loose his way and the jourbey ended up taking 8hrs instead. my butt almost got worn out i tell u. oh yeah during the stop over i ate corn. okay let's call it the k.corn because it seriously tasted like rubber. if u think i meant that it was all chewy and nice, you are so wrong man. try eating car tyres. the next stop over was at Kangwon Hotel which is posh!! ahh!!! even toilets were high tech! the toilet seats had plastic covers (toilet seat cover) and all you have to do is to press a red button by the side and the plastic will automatically rotate until u get a new toilet seat cover. cool. then there's also mouth rinse at the side of the basin so it got us all gargling like siao.

phew what alot to write.

so anyway, we had dinner at the super mart, which isnt super at all, at our hotel (Sky Hotel). yes, we finally reached the darn hotel. (now i know why they name it sky hotel. u see the connection?) we had cup noodles for dinner and i almost died. luckily, cheryl ordered pizza and we ate them in our room with the heated floorboards and nice toilet. i think we had the best room :)

second day. competiton day! the venue was totally draped in grandeur. hahah sorry no pics. but anyway, i fenced and won only a bout with HongKong. it's strange la the other fencers really didnt look like they are pro fencers probably because they didnt really have polished foot and hand work but well, they know alot more than us in terms of timing and distance. final rank was 51th. guess what? top 50 could qualify for DE. aiya nice experience on the whole.
THEY HAD CUP NOODLES FOR DINNER AGAIN!! not me because i absolutely refused to touch the yucky noodles. i ate biscuits instead. dont care.

nothing much happened on the third day. watched sabre and epee then after the whole thing, dinner. this time, we had it near some other hotel and we ate REAL korean food. oh i think kimchi sucks. it's so spicy and full of garlic i wonder how weini can say it tasted nice. oh well... i suppose on man's meat is another man's poison. ahh but korean rice's yummy. very chewy and sweet. actually starters alone took up a full table but i'm too lazy to eleborate on that except for kimchi. the remaining dishes were good.

fourth day. okay sorry i really couldnt remember much because well, i spent the day almost similar to the third day. oh okay i remember an aussie girl giving me a canned kangeroo which i just opened. eyy it's bloody cute. so it's now sitting on my computer table. hmm... we ate dinner at town. finally!!! shopping! alas, the clothes sold there were not our taste so we spent our money at thefaceshop. u know that brand of nailpolish sold in singapore cost $2.50 and removers cost $4.90 right? there, they cost 100won each! ($1=600won) cheap right? hehheh so u can guess what we did-throw in whatever which caught our fancy. i didnt buy much la because i dont often paint my nails. now i regret not buying.

yeah that's about all. the next day we checked out early in the morning and took the bus again. we had lunch at Incheon airport. KFC AGAIN!!!(swears) i wont mind if the chicken's as good as those served in singapore but those served there are tasteless! i almost vomitted! the only consolation was that we had hagendaze later and i was happy after that. hahah we saw this keychain with Bae Yong Jun's face at some souvenior shop which costed 10 sing dollars. Noelle went ' WHAT?! TEN DOLLARS FOR HIS STUPID FACE?!' it cracked me up. like hey you're at a place where practically everyone worships that person and there u go exclaiming ten dollars for his stupid face where people would pay ten thousand to shake his hand.

plane food sucked. i ate bim bim bab which consist of rice, vegetables, spicy sesame paste and sesame oil mixed all together. after that, The Promise was on screen and we watched it. erm i have not a single clue what the story was all about except that the characters died in the end. i focus on Nicholas Tse instead. Edison Chen's much better looking i think.

phew. i think i'm done with this trip. cant be bothered to blog anymore. see you guys in school!

2006-04-05T02:15:00.000-07:00

i'v got an allergy!!! taupok.. now i have RED SPOTS ALL OVER MY BACK. oh and neck. yes u know what's the cause? Saint Andrews' saintly shirt. how nice. i think the spots look like measles..creepy! the good thing is that i've seen a doctor and he said that such allergy happen very fast and they go away fast too. by saturday should be alright (!). phew... how suay can i get right? i broke my purple blade yesterday :( after it's long life of 9 mths. yeah i'm still quite sad la cause Slava said that blade was for me to win competitions and he gave it to me for free.

last day for me here. that is, before i blog again after the 13th. jas, if you're reading my blog, thanks for all the help today and Emath test was easy!

love.

2006-04-03T08:36:00.000-07:00

just done with a failed attempt to kill a lizard. what's with lizards nowadays? it's like in the past, you probably can shout at it and it's die instantly of shock. but this time, they ADAPT.
smarter
shrewder
more intelligent...

they want food!

YOU!
hahah self entertainment here. so back to topic, i was just trying to imply that lizards are getting harder to kill. if not for my weariness, i'd have went all the way to squash the lizard. ahh now that i'm here, i havent seen a wriggling lizard's tail for quite a long time.. hmm. i think i know why they are so clever. it's like viruses isnt it? if u let them escape for the first time, they learn your strategies and poof, smarty lizard! so the next time, similar tactics cant be used. go for the kill.

2006-04-01T08:17:00.000-08:00

nat trials tomorrow!!!
cool
cool
cool...
sheesh why am i gettng butterflies in my stomach again?!
God please help me!!

2006-03-30T04:02:00.001-08:00

ahh... the bliss of slacking at home... got alot of crap in my head in exchange but who cares? ahh.. shiok. thou shall watch TV! anyway, i've got another piece of good news: only one exercise of emath today! (it's a no brainer thing)
oh reminds me. i almost freaked out when jas informed me that Mrs Poh's gonna throw anyone who hasnt hand in ex5b by wednesday to detention. like so siao! i barely have time to clear other homework and here's a teacher threatening to put us to detention? so, i had no other choice but to stay back to complete and hand in that excercise. yes, and after that i had to rush for tuition which lasted till six thirty.(i feel my brain juices just seep away)

dream phone:

it's so pretty. TOTALLY.

2006-03-28T07:38:00.000-08:00

no school tomorrow! ALRIGHT!!

=D

celebrated Slava's birthday today with a tiramisu cake(!). very nice!!! hahah now joshua tan better buck up and invent comething new. okay la. shant be mean. his cakes are delicious too and seriously, i think he'll make a very good baker cause he has damn alot of confidence la! u see, the last time, he taught me how to make cheesecake. then initially after eating my own creation, i thought, 'oh man so GOOD! (obviously)'but later when my sis tried she said that it tasted like VOMIT so i didnt make anymore after that. i told him all about it and u know what he said?

'u must believe in yourself. even if people say your cake taste like shit, dont care them. u think your cake very nice can already. see? like me. people at the start say mine taste like shit i also dont care. i improvise. now, i make very good cake.'

see? this is what i deem super self confidence. maybe a little thick skin la. but still, hey, as long as his cakes are nice to eat, who cares? yeah and the good thing is that they are nice AND he is willing to teach me! hee hee. oh yah.. tmr Slava's gonna treat us to pizzahut!! shiok!

okay.. u must be thinking 'whatever..'.
i dont care. i'm happy can already.
goodnight!

2006-03-27T00:56:00.000-08:00

sports heats today! oh well i got third in my heat thanks to dear jas who lent me her spike shoes =D i think i'd probably have fallan flat on my face after taking off if i didnt have those spikes on. anyway, i just realised that i might be missing sports day. it depends whether i can make it back in time or not la. i think i wont mind missing it too because the sec threes were damn fast!! ahh... am i getting old? hai.. like taupok-old and crumbly and disjusting.

shit andre xiao!! he tricked me into believing that training starts at 5 pm today. i almost had a heart attack i tell you. i promised never to be late again okay! and last training i was ten mins early!! good good. today i shall be good joan again.

ahh Slava's birthday tomorrow! hahah i think he doesnt know that we know it. hmm what shall i get for him?

2006-03-24T21:48:00.000-08:00

physics test was rather manageble. how lucky. i realised that i'm getting very lazy and compromising on stuffs. like for example, i was suppose to wake up at six am to revise physics but i ended pressing the snooze time and time again. if not, i just swipe the alram clock on the floor till it's dead. poor clock. yeah anyway, my coach hasnt been very pleased with me because i kept being late for training. the bus driver la! i was already running and flapping my arms like siao but he still chose to ignore it.

...

hence, i shall reach twenty mins earlier today =D

hee yiyao and i are fine now. he even lent me his speaker so i'm currently listening to disney songs. i wanna get that speaker! it's cute! anyway, weini grace and i are going to town tomorrow so yeah i wanna get my mango top first.

2006-03-23T05:50:00.000-08:00

AHH!!! i left my thumbdrive in school! the short keeper uncle la...caslin and i were busy using the IT Rex's computers for the project Mrs Ee assigned us to do but HE had to come and shoo us off. yeah you should know how i am like.. my brain just goes blank the moment i get panicky.

anyway, Mrs Poh assigned new seating arrangements today. sad to say, Grace is no longer seating next to me. okay she still is, but there would be half a metre gap between us and i dont like it. if only the guys werent so kiasu we could have the old seating arrangement. i've got no idea what struck them. it's like everyone's saying 'i got short-sightedness','i cant see...','my grades are dropping i need to seat in front' yada yada. huh? like what are spectacles for? yes i speak about that, i'm damn pissed at Yiyao. he has this big strawberry like head that blocks jasmine cheryl and myself and when we requested mrs poh to switch his seat ONE SEAT TO THE RIGHT he started getting all agitated and shouting 'you are so inconsiderate! my grades are dropping and u still want me to change seats!' HELLO??!! it's only ONE SEAT TO THE RIGHT OKAY!in doing so, u save jasmine cheryl and myself form all the blocking so who's the real inconsiderate one? and so what if your grades are dropping? you were the one who dont do homework and talk so loudly during homework period and disturb others so bleh to you. hmph still have the cheek to say such stuff...

if yiyao's gonna speak to me about this tomorrow i'm so gonna skin him alive. yes he better be reading this.

2006-03-21T03:04:00.000-08:00

eyyy..taupok.. i got B3 for geog progress report! oh well.. i'm still wondering why mrs tan chose to take the marks from the first common test where everyone failed instead of using the second one. hai.. adds on to my miserable result of a progress report. yeah how ironic.. i'm not progressing!

anyway, HK Open was a flop. i'm not going to do much eleboration on it cause first of all, i didnt fence well. second, the event sucked. thirdly, my blade screwed up. fourth, the place's so gloomy and last of all, i didnt buy anything!! shit!!! i wanted so much to have a breakthrough and then shop like siao but this was what i got in the end. yeah i but this is the worst trip of all so neh.. no blogging on it.

i made a new blogskin! okay i shall try uploading it.

ciao

2006-03-17T15:42:00.000-08:00

hello!
blogging from Changi here... eww the keypad's damn oily! anyway guys, enjoy the remaining of the hols and i'll see you probably on wednesday. yeah i seriously need some hints for the physics test.

love.

2006-03-10T08:13:00.000-08:00

oh gosh guess what?! i TOPPED the class for geog! 21/25! shiok!

hols now. taupok. i hate hols. like they WERE suppose to be somewhat a happy week but i highly doubt so now that i'm in sec four. hols. what do teachers say? they all go' okay ah, your're going to have a week of holiday. no school right? good. so you will have time to do more homework and revision. come back to school and i will give you a test. make good use of your holidays okay? O levels approaching.. must get into good JC... yada yada.' hmm sounds like mrs chiu.

anyway, back to topic.

then the next thing before you know it, you get homework and testpapers dumped at your face. well, i'm certainly glad i'm not in any UG camps. poor people.

ZOUK underage party this thursday! okay so much for announcing it. i'm not going. i didnt even tell my mum about it cause i doubt she'd allow. i still think everyone treats me like a kid. like yoohoo! i'm sixteen (soon) i need.. err.. more money to go shopping. :D okay okay.. i thank God for all that he's given me. actually i'm quite contented with my life especially since i got into fencing!! yeah! that's probably the best thing that has happened in my teenhood.

alright i'm tired. i cant sleep so soon because my hair is still wet and mommy said that if i sleep with wet hair i'll get 'ku too' in my hair and i dont want that. shall check out xiaxue's blog. it's super funny!!

2006-03-09T05:58:00.000-08:00

hey i've got a sudden urge to have a 'cleopatra-look' blogskin. anyway, i've just gotten back my chem test. no good! oh well... it hasnt been a good month for me here. all i've gotten back was lousy test results. first add math, then emath then physics not this. okay, i'm pinning all my hopes on this goeg common test we had today. speak about that, i'm damn pissed i must say. the GUYS (again) made so much noise throughout the whole test especially David, just because they didn't revise and kept demanding an open book test. like hello? so what if u didnt revise? others (like me) did okay! and it's not like you didnt know about the test, you were just plain LAZY!! if i have to training from six to eleven by the time i reach home practically EVERYDAY and could still study, i simply cannot understand why cant u fork out time to do revision. it's not like you dont have time isnt it. anyway, i still think it's plain dishonesty that some people were shouting and discussing answers across the class and well, some just whipped out their notes and started copying. okay i admit i'm kiasu. i dont like others to copy stuff when i dont and i'm telling you i've never copied during a test. not that i've any memory of it anyway. yes then there's mrs tan who's so lenient, i cant imagine another person like her. she actually ALLOWED david to have an open book test and gave hints, which were so damn obvious, all throughout. this is so taupok. if i were her, i'd have just given a BIG FAT ZERO to those who discussed answers, yes, and for those who kept complaining that they didnt revise this and that, well, they can go fail their test. ahh! and the test shall occupy a large percantage.

see? i'm mean. but to me, this is the only method for them to buck up. i know that if i were caught in a similar situation i'd have just tried my best and take it as a lesson taught for being lazy.

God forgive me.

alright, that's just the harsh part. well, i understand that as humans, we all succumb to temptation at times. but i suppose the best thing is to know when the temptation is acting and have self control. for myself, i always know that there'll be a reward when you overcome your temptations. just like the day before the test i actually slept from five to nine after spending the earlier afternoon compilling results for my fencing. i had to take down all my medals and trophies and list them in order before typing the full name of the competitions onto a list. and it's not like i have an overwhelming number of them. it's just the whole day's work that is exhausting! still, i told myself that since i trust God to take care of my studies, i myself have to put in effort. in the end, all that i've studied came out in the test! see? that's how God works- you have to put in effort too.

okay i suppose that's enough for a day. gotta check mails on HK open.

2006-03-06T00:48:00.000-08:00

what the??!! my post vanished? okay fine. cant be bothered anymore.

2006-03-06T00:31:00.000-08:00

2006-03-05T02:06:00.000-08:00

i'm gonna go HONGKONG!! hahah and see Chow Chun Hei... yiyao, aren't you jealous!
then again, it's only two days. oh well. so anticlimax huh? still, i'm gonna see CCH(!) so it's okay. hey i wanna go shopping too. but like when did we ever go... all we did was fence fence fence and the next thing i know, it's checking out time and off we go back home.

i'm becoming VERY forgetful these days.. now where did my memory cells go... first, it was forgetting to bring back my homework file. next, i even forgot to bring CLOTHES TO CHANGE after fencing and TOWELS. thank God for Daryl who kindly lent me his extra shir which was kinda big so i ended up looking like i was wearing a piece of plain white cloth. like a ghost from cartoon? and it was at night too. anyway, today, i realised that i've forgottened to bring back graph paper to do my emath homework!!!! wa lau!! emath's my fav. subject (for the moment) okay...

argh whatever. i think i'm gonna do amath.

2006-03-01T23:38:00.000-08:00

i kinda regretted going to The Salvation Army. okay maybe that served as an experience (afterall i've never been there) BUT i doubt i'd be going back again any time soon. well, basically, they sell a whole range of stuff there. yeah like what the URBAN paper described- from pots and pans to wedding gowns (!). and of course, for those who wanna know if they do have levi's jeans, the answer is YES. two racks of them. on the other hand,the cutting is WAY passe so i doubt you'd wanna get them.

anyway, i couldnt find anything to my fancy so i ended up getting a silver anklet for $1 and alcohol wipes at ten for $1. i felt i had to get something because i used their washroom. grace got herself a wooden photoframe for $2 and jiahuang got himself a bio textbook and drinks for us. that's about all.. oh i heard a mother asking her daughter if she had gotten herself a gown yet(!). neh i dont mean to sound mean, but the gowns there are really... oh well.

oh but jas, if you wanna go and take a look, grace and i would still accompany you. we havent forgot that =D

2006-02-27T06:29:00.000-08:00

NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!!
yeah i live for these days man! too bad jas michele and I couldnt make it for The Salvation Army trip but i promise i'll drop by there someday.

i'm planning to get a crumpler bag... purple! haha i think i'm on a spending spree nowadays. just spent $70 on four tops from Flesh Imp on sunday together with sis. ahhh.. the bliss of getting new things. seriously, my wardrobe NEEDS a change. like i'm forever wearing the same old tops and pants. i need new jeans. MORE TOPS! SKIRTS! oh well.. let me start saving first.

2006-02-24T17:55:00.000-08:00

TEAM EVENT IN FOUR HOURS' TIME! yeah man i cant wait! pity it isnt dear cheryl, cas and myself but meijin replacing cheryl instead. oh well, i suppose it's okay. just go have fun. oh yeah if we die early, i'll make sure they get to have a taste of ah bo ling almond flavour! after that i reckon i'll chiong home to chiong my homework again.

haha i helped Sasha with her chinese homework yesterday night..... she's naughty! and a tiny wee bit lazy. but aiyah she's not planning to score for mother tongue. just dont fail english can already. but i doubt so la.. she's been getting full marks for her english spelling lately. smart ass.

2006-02-23T06:12:00.000-08:00

God I pray you guide me with your hands, that in nothing shall I fear.
You are my LIGHT, my SAVIOUR, and I know you're just a prayer away.

2006-02-20T07:40:00.000-08:00

hello i'm back from M'sia! wow has been a GREAT trip for me. learnt and experienced alot of new stuff, got closer to more fencers and best of all, i fenced really well! okay i'm not trying be be boastful here but just that my fencing really advanced to a new level and i've stopped feeling nervous before every competition like before.

i realised that nat fencers are super nice. like BEN! hahah benny the bunny. he's like a big brother and i'm gotta get him to bring me to clubs when i'm 18.

anyway, i cant be bothered to blog more since it's so late and i need to go to school tomorrow. oh man it's PE on the first period on timetable!! shit.

2006-02-17T00:57:00.000-08:00

yeah! half day today! went towning with Grace and Weini...okay actually it's not really all that shopping and stuff. just eating at pastamania's and walking abit. ahh i'm not sure if Grace would like me to mention this but.. too bad cause i'm mean. haha. we were talking and yada.. came to the topic of boyfriends. guess what? we or rather I was reminded that Grace and JOEL were a couple once! heh it's kinda hilarious now that Grace is a completely different person and joel is, well, u decide for yourself. but it's weird that they were still once together in SEC ONE and i've a good mind to start spreading a rumour that Grace likes Joel again. then again, too bad i'm not that mean. and well, grace and i are kinda close and we sit beside each other so i'm not risking getting killed.

anyway, i still think it's funny and i hope dear grace sees this. dont get me wrong.. we're still very good friends and i'm VERY GLAD she got the Belle role in Beauty and the Beast.

hmm.. so after the food we went the the ground level of cine and i got myself a HOT PINK nail polish for my very ugly toe nails.
nothing much happened after that.

went home and spent an hour painting my very ugly toe nails. seriously, i suck at that! but on the whole, my very ugly toe nails turned even uglier after that. i wonder why on earth did i get that outrageous colour.. could have gotten beige or some mild colours but why hot pink?!

okay i think i'm regretting now. i'm getting quite cranky i think. first it was wearing purple contacts then this. but i suppose the point's to entertain..

laugh, singapore.

2006-02-13T20:38:00.000-08:00

i've been STALKED by an ex-church friend yesterday. i'm not gonna spell his name out but it was no fun serious.
it started quite decently- 'can u call me?'
i told him i was having my dinner and could not use the phone so i'd rather he sms.
then-'call ME now'
'i said i cant'
'okay then i call you'
and he tried calling my HOME but my mum was engaged so the call didnt go through.
and he called my hp
'ahh.. joan you're eating dinner now? oh okay lor then i dont bother you liao. err wish you happy valentines.'
so i said okay and ended the conversation.
then the next moment, i received a 'call ME now' again.
for those who know me, you'd know that i'm never a sweet patient girl so u bet i was pissed by that 'call ME now' thing
so i replied that i wont be free because i need to go for training.
'you free you call me'
'by then i'd be free would be by eleven when i reach home and i need to do homework so i wont be free to call'
'call me i need to tell you something'
'you can tell me here or dont tell okay?'
'can u go out'
'with who'
'you and ME go out celebrate valentine day'
'dont want'
'why'
'i'm spending it with someone else'
'who'
'tell you u also wont know'
'u say'
oh before i forget, the smsing wasnt so smooth going because he TRIED CALLING MY HP ALMOST EVERYTIME AN SMS WENT OVER. OBVIOUSLY I DIDNT ANSWER BUT I WAS BOILING. back to the stalker.
'can u respect my privacy? and how did u get my number? i thought guys in your church are not supposed to DISTURD THE GIRLS?'
'okay i delete your number'
'GOOD'
and he tried calling again. and again. and again.
ARGH!!!!!!! I HATE THIS!
'i tell you who give me your number but u cannot tell anybody'
'whatever'
i complained to their youth leader the next moment anyway.
so u guess that irritating person got told off and the calling stopped.
phew. i simply cant stand guys who are so wishy washy demanding me to 'call ME now' or whatever. if i ever had a boyfriend like that i'd just order a break up. yuck.

okay i suppose that's all about it. HAPPY VALENTINES! hahah i'm happy now that i'm not spending it with that person.

May the love of God shine in your life

2006-02-10T19:28:00.000-08:00

gosh after witnessing the o levels release i'm determined to mug harder. so scary! it's like nobody knows when would be our turn to.. well cry/smile. yeah yeah why am i still using the com.

anyway, i'm so glad that God is paving the future for me so NO WORRIES!

i thank God for Serene. yesterday, my blade screwed up so Slava had to rewire for me. guess what today's competition so u can guess how suay that sounded. anyway, Serene gave me her old FIE blade which is pretty new so i neednt rewire and go throught all the troublesome stuff. so nice right? an FIE blade cost about 80 bucks and so far after bresking my first one, it's been my second that i've received for FREE!! that meant saving about 160 bucks! well, all i can say is that i'll be eternally grateful for God's blessing's and my teammates.

trust unto the Lord!

2006-02-09T02:36:00.000-08:00

I'VE GOT VIOLET SHADE CONTACTS!!! yeah man! and what's more, they dont really look fake until you look close enough like duh. i was so afraid that i'd look like some alien from outer space especially when the man we bought the contacts from told us that we cant have try-outs. anyway, you can guess how please i am now that i bet if a hundred yiyaos irritate me i wont kill them. okay maybe just ten. hmm but on the other hand, the bad thing is that my iris dont exactly fit into the non-coloured area so i can still see a bit of blur. BUT that's quite okay hee!

oh i'm still wondering why people are getting so stressed over o levels this year. chill man! i mean, if you're getting so stressed now then what about when o levels arrive? go crazy? a little stress is good but dont over do because that's when the productivity level go down.

okay i'm gonna go do homework!

see yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heh i love my contacts. i'm gonna try blue-grey ones the next time i plan to buy

2006-02-06T21:14:00.000-08:00

i'm sick of facing math homework everyday!!!! ahhh save me man!!!
anyhow, i'm determined to complete ALL my homework today.
oh let me tell you about my plan- no skipping of school days (exceptional to overseas trips) other than today, which is in another words, the tuesday of week 2. simply because we bascically so nothing on this day. first period PE (all the more i must skip), followed by emath, english,form class(free period), chinese and homework period. free periods are coupled with noise from the irritating guys in my class so i reckon it serves no purpose for us to do homework.

okay back to doing homework.
ciao

2006-02-02T02:52:00.000-08:00

common test results pretty much sucked. it's like careless mistakes all over the paper i reckon the next time i'll write 'check ten times' on my table before the test begins. anyway, it hasnt really been a good week for me here. CYN was boring and all we did was gamble with the uncles and i ended up losing 12bucks. hmph. oh i suppose the nicest thing was watching memiors of a geisha with zhixuan, denzel and his friend and edi. VERY RECOMMENDABLE.

but besides all that, i'm not doing too well with fencing. except for the part where the team have returned back, which i'm 100% happy, i suppose i've not been up to standard. it's like i really envy the rest of them.. two weeks of training and they can bag golds whereas for myself, my, my muscles havent even recovered! i cant seem to condition myself for anything! yesterday, i was initially determined to have a good training plus lessons and all that but guess what? i came back too tired and ended up sleeping till six. i had to gobble my not so nice dinner in five minutes, put on contacts, pack bag, and RUN to the bus stop to wait for the darn bus to take me to training. yeah and i had to continue running after alighting. so u can see, my stomach was pretty much upset and i felt bloated. couldnt train after that and i ended up feeling wayyy sorry for myself.

competition's up this saturday and with all the weightage and ranking system, i think i'm going nuts. i don't know, but every competition seemed so important that i need to peak! gosh God please help me. i think i need to speak to ruth but then again, i'm afraid i dont have much time left to do homework. i feel like shit. homework's piling up and i've no idea why my school bag's getting heavier. okay, that's some stupid sentence. argh everything seems to bug me now.

wont talk anymore.

2006-01-27T00:25:00.000-08:00

CNY in two days' time... i dont even feel any new year mood if there's any. i think i'd just be eating Ba Kua and playing cards with my twenty over cousins? yeah thats probably the most 'new year' mood- you get to gamble and meet relatives. and eat Ba Kua. hah reminds me i havent gotten my new year clothes YET. aiyah dont care already la i'll wait till new year's over then buy them since there would be better discounts.

anyhow, YULING GOT GOLD IN COMMONWEALTH JUNIOR C'SHIPS!!!
ruth was 5th, serene around 10th and cheryl above 32th. that's so great man! it's like COMMONWEALTH and many more countries would be participating (those under the British colony during WW2). yeah it's a BIG deal. i'm still proud of them no matter what. =D

well, i reckon i'd be going to the airport to receive them if it's in the afternoon. i'll prolly get them flowers too.
LOVE MY TEAM

2006-01-21T01:24:00.000-08:00

HEYY I’M BACK!! This trip was truly enjoyable … and yes, I love the TEAM. Anyhow, I’d be honored to share about my trip.

Let’s start from where we left the airport. We had to take two taxis back as there were seven of us and there wasn’t any bigger taxi at that moment. The taxi meter was crazy! I kept myself busy by counting one two three for every ten cent increase. (‘one, two, three’ ten cents, ‘one, twp three’ ten cents) Yeah so the cost mounted to AU$40 by the time we reached the hotel. Ha if only taxis were like that in Singapore, my dad wouldn’t have to work so hard. Our (Cheryl, Serene and myself) room was darn cosy and as was the bed!

Best bed ever.

Woke up at 10 am (seven o’clock back in Singapore). The weather was fine- sunny with cold wind. Very nice. Took a walk to the nearby (yet not so) supermart and had brunch there. THE FOOD SUCKED and everyone ended up depressed. It’s like hey I pay so much (AU$8.50) for this plate of rubbish??!! The latter refers to a plate of Iskandar Kebab (bread pieces with lamb slices, chili and mayonnaise with no taste) which at first bite tastes rather okay, second makes you regret buying and third and consecutive bites makes you wanna puke. If not for the expensive cost I would have fed it to the rubbish bin where it belonged and not force it down my throat. But then it doesn’t matter because I didn’t finish it the end. Went to the supermart for some basic grocery shopping before heading back. Oh and there’re houseflies on the streets and some would inevitably land on our faces. Pretty disgusting.

We arrived at the hotel and found out that the car (MPV) we booked arrived!! Hurray no more taxis for us! We got changed and brought our equipment to the venue for weapon check.

Women’s Foil Federation.

Dinner was consumed at Lygon Street- somewhat similar to Clark Quay but without the skyscrapers. They don’t have tall buildings there- Victoria’s more of a little town. Anyway, we had ice-cream after our Italian dinner. New Zealand Naturals’! Good ice-cream’s served in portions just right for the cup back here but it’s so different there! They give them in overwhelming portions and yeah they just pile it up over and over again.

That’s bout the first day.

Woke up at 7 am the next morning. (4 am in Singapore!! Argh!!) Had breakfast at Ruth and Yuling’s room. Hehheh we felt that our room’s nicer and more spacious than theirs. It’s competition day so we had to head to the venue early for warm-ups. Hmm… I shall give a brief description of the competition or I’ll bore you out. Round robins won three lost three. Didn’t really meet my expectations but still, it’s the experience that counts. The competitors there were half foil and epee so the parry was very hard. I actually pulled a bit of shoulder muscle and couldn’t fence properly after the second bout. Was ranked 13th after RR. Lost later to a ranked 20th girl. Why? Because the referee couldn’t preside for NUTS. He gave points for a lot of simultaneous hits to the Australian girl probably because they had more supporters and yeah he’s aussie too. Initially, I wasnt too sure that he couldnt preside and wanted to give him a chance so I kept my mouth shut. But then he PROVED he couldn’t and when I asked why for points that he gave the opponent he just told me to ‘on guard’. Yeah just used authority to shut my mouth up. So, I gave him the dirty look like ‘huh! Ridiculous!’.Guess what? The next simultaneous hit point was given to me. See? That’s how bullshit he was. In any case, I still lost the bout (14 -15) and was ready to bash him up. But of course, that’s one side of the story. The other’s mainly because I let my emotions take over my fencing. I knew wasn’t fencing but instead rushing to get some lucky hits. It’s still an important lesson nevertheless. The indiv. event ended with Singapore clinching Gold, Sliver and Bronze. Cool right?

Had dinner at Lygon’s again. Okay… we had them there everyday. Oh before that, there’s us and the car.

Had my cam at timer mode and placed on the top of another car.

This time round, it was Gelati ice-cream after dinner. Then on our way back, we saw THAT REFEREE!! You can guess what I wanted to do- BASH HIM UP! He was wearing the same outfit as in the day and his red hair kinda stood out. That simply meant QIAN BIAN (deserves to be bashed). Ah ha but he was lucky. I was eating ice-cream and that meant I was in a happy mood which also meant I don’t go around bashing people. Good for him. Four scopes of Gelati ice-cream saved his life.

Team event the next day!( Thursday already) Okay I’m not going into details because I didn’t fence, but on the whole, it was fun to make new friends and support my teammates. THEY GOT GOLD! HOW’S THAT? We also came up with a team dance and song. Take a look at some pics! (ps* I love my Olympus u-mini digital cam)

Had Gelatissino ice-cream after dinner. Yeah there were many ice-cream shops there and they all have similar shop names. There’s probably real and fake brands in Lygon but who cares? They all taste great!! Oh the weather was rather hot that day. Hit 33 degrees at noon. Night was about 31? In any case, my mountain of ice-cream was melting like siao and my hands were sticky.

We returned to the hotel and all of us went to Ruth’s room for video and crap. It was so fun! We were all high I suppose and laughed a lot. Hahah we love each other. =D

Last day! Shopping at Queen Victoria Market. Okay actually there wasn’t anything to shop. The place was like a huge pasar malem and it was terribly hot. There wasn’t any Roxy/billabong/quicksilver/ripcurl shop, just one with some of it’s products. And there isn’t anything nice either. I ended up getting a keychain with an aussie animal for my fencing bag (I make a point to get one of these for every overseas trip), an aussie tee for Sasha, four cans of abalone flavored macadamia nuts (VERY NICE), one packet of strawberry and vanilla bullet chocolates for weiwen, candies for grace, Cheryl, jasmine and yiyao and.. er… nothing else. Yeah.

That’s about all. I’ll show you some nice pics.

2006-01-15T19:00:00.000-08:00

read this month's CLEO yesterday night. ahh i find the 'blogger match-down' thing completely ridiculous. why would someone want to compete and see whoever gets more fan mail/hate mail/ whose blog is more popular? yeah and i thought blogs are meant to be more personal. i mean, people can comment on your entries but using your blog to compete is totally off. like those people have got nothing better to do. i suppose everyone's familiar with Xiaxue? i deem her as the most bi*chy person according to her entries. she makes a big hoo-ha over minute things and has completely no sense of shame. go read the CLEO page and see for yourself. i think she plain trying to cook up nonsense to get the spotlight on herself.

okay enough of that. i'm praying that i'd have a safe trip and return as a whole. well, i know God would be there for all of us no matter what. hmm.. lets hope the aussie presidents wont card slava without reason again.

oh i almost forgotten! Jasmine, i'm so glad that God has changed your life! continue to work hard and CONGRATS on receiving tongues =P

till then, see you guys on monday!

2006-01-13T07:05:00.000-08:00

flight to aussie @ 3pm which means i wont have to go to school on monday! hahah i'm terribly excited bout the trip. i do hope i'd have enough cash to get presents for the class. there's a lame to get for andrexiao, presents for dear jas and cheryl &yiyao. oh not forgetting joshua chong who bought for me mr cloth tape.

hey i was suppose to have lots for things to blog about but i couldnt remember any of them now! argh.

hey i've just received an email from hot legs stating that the temperature in melbourne would be close to 28 degrees.. cool! then again, i've already brought my $25 sunblock and reebok cap!!!! aiya that just means i'll get extra protection against harmful UV rays. maybe i'll return whiter then before.

finished with geog revision. i finally found my recharge- the very best of RELAXING piano for spa 6. yeah it works for me... can study without feeling too stressed. heehee the cd only cost $2.50. next time i go back to pearl centre i'll remember to get the other collections. yeh you bet i'm downloading them into my mp3 for melbourne. YES I'VE GOT A NEW FENCING BAG! yuling gave it to me since it was free( they sent the wrong model here and decided that she could keep it since they'll need to pay again to have it shipped back) and so tada! i was actually quite worried because one of the wheels was jammed but i got my contractor neightbour to repair it for me. i hope the people loading lugguages woulb be gentle with it.. i certainly dont wish to lug the whole thing without wheels.

alright i'm still counting down...granddad gave me US$70 for spending. so sweet right? i've barely spoken to him since my hokkien kinda sucked, so yeah.. i'm touched. i promise to get stuff for people sitting near me especially dear jas and cheryl!!

2006-01-08T06:44:00.000-08:00

i absolutely detest rainy days! yah guess what? it has been raining non-stop from the point i got up at eight, went church, came back, studied and now! hmph! disgusting humid dirty weather. i wish we could divert some rain over to melbourne now. heard it's gonna be 47 degree there. yikes i'm bring sunblock, cap, sunglasses and umbrella. once bitten twice shy, i'm not gonna turn black like the last time after training camp at desaru. oh and i heard there would be lots of bushfire due to hot weather. my hair's so dry i dont want it to catch fire!! now where's the moisurizer...

i'm bunking with hot legs and tiny feet again!! YAY!! cant wait to get over with diagnostic tests and school. hopefully this time we wont be getting last seats again. no more additional smell from toilet thank you.

right i'm sporting eye bags now. eye-need-to-rest. goodnight

2006-01-06T01:16:00.000-08:00

tried Mac's Beef Fan-tastic today with cheryl.
my comment: EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK
both of us decided to give up after halfway through. take a look:

2006-01-04T01:10:00.000-08:00

HURRAY THE COACHES WOULD BE BACK TOMORROW!!
yeah man i cant wait for training to resume. ha i'm gonna be counting down to 16th for my trip!
school's good so far. got 'promoted' to an air-con classroom which is although small, but very cosy. it doesnt seem like a classroom to me anymore.. more like some group tuition. it's easier to concentrate because u cant talk or everyone will hear and you'll probably get punished. all's good but one thing: the air-con's freaking cold! okay i know this is broken english but oh well, u get what i mean. one moment everyone gets frozen and when the air-con's turned off we'll go all stuffy and warm, blah. so it's jackets on from tomorrow.
diagnostic tests on the way! okay i'll make sure i manage my time properly this time round. in fact, i'm gonna ask the subject teachers on the modules they would be covering during my trip and study ahead/ during the trip. no problem i'm sure.

hey i wasnt aware that grace chia's in teckawndo! (spell?) had a great time at mac's yesterday with her and grace wang. hahah she was telling us how to win a bout; punch stomach 1 point, punch shoulders 1 point,punch face(surface only without bruises) 3 points. so comical la! imagine u trip your opponent and when she falls u go ontop of her and punch her stomach. yeah one point. hmm wonder if anyone did a combo set like those streetfighters where chunli gives combo sets of 17. then u just sit ontop and punch like siao until u get 8 points and u win the match. =D

2005-12-30T21:06:00.000-08:00

Yeah and another year has passed. Well, no cheesy entries this time. I’m gonna go straight to my list of things to get for 2006. Oh yeah for those kind-hearted souls who happen to read this entry, you’re most welcome to get them for me too. Charity’s a good way to start the year.

Black

Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

merry christmas to all!!
hmm i still cant figure out why christmas eve is more popular than christmas day itself but anyway, let's not talk bout it.
oh my school's starting in about a week's time! i suppose this holiday hasnt really been constructive for me... although i've felt like i've completed my homework then again there's somthing missing. probably because i havent started revision on those tests which we would be having in term one. sheesh.

okay enough of depressing entries. i'll speak about happy events then.
1. I'M LEARNING RUSSIAN!! yes, i think i'm seventy percent there to pronouncing words properly,only that i cant understand what they mean. but that's good enough. for a start.
2. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT WEDNESDAY FOR EX-CLASSMATE REUNION!!
3. GOING TO MELBOURNE ON 17TH JAN!!
4. uh.. i've not grown taller. yes i consider that a blessing. i'm happy with my current height. thank God!

alright may those who read this entry be awarded with abundance for next year... GOD BLESS YOU! =D
thou shall rest in the Lord and trust him to pave the way for me.

2005-12-22T04:51:00.000-08:00

well if u hadnt realised, i havent been touching my friendster account for ages. hmm i guess i was forced to log in today simply because i need to contact my ex-classmates!! shucks why did hotmail delete my previous account??!! anyway, i saw my ex-best friend's photo and ohhla so pretty!!

2005-12-21T02:12:00.000-08:00

i didnt really miss my primary school friends much till today when yuling shared with me her class outing. oh well i felt really guilty.. didnt even contact any of mine for the past three years. okay so u bet i smsed my friends and told them that we should have a class gathering. the response was good i guess but the problem is that i dont even know where should we go. movie is passe alright. perhaps a picnic? anyway, i told weiheng to decide on the place so that'll save me lots of trouble. let see.. so it's weiheng, denzel, gary, weeteck, maybe cindy and who else? sheesh i wish i hadnt lost all my contacts.

speak about boring entries...

2005-12-19T22:41:00.000-08:00

OH NO i just realised that Winx Club is over and some punny lame cartoon has taken over it's slot!! shucks!!
oh well.. except for the part where my morning routine's ruined it's actually not really a bad thing. after all, i've got morning trainings to attend so all these means i dont have to rush back to watch cartoon. yada yada so i'm supposed to rejoyce?

anyhow, i've completed my situational writings!! hahah good luck la yiyao for slacking so much! =P so let's see... there's only revision for the tests to do, tau hu dont lie book, literature(which i'm gonna pretend there isnt) and emath. oh i'm almost done!! yeah actually i'm done cause i'm gonna read the tau hu dont lie book at my own leisure. yeah man! after that i can start on revision for geog.

looking forward to watching Narnia with Ann! Ruth you wanna come? oh we'll prolly be getting the women's foil team in that case. i'm thinking of changing my blogskin to a gold glittery mickey one. well i'm not sure if it'll exist but all the same, i'm gonna try my luck. bye!!

2005-12-19T08:42:00.000-08:00

I'VE GOT A PIMPLE PLASTERED ON THE OPENING OF MY LEFT NOSETRILS!!!
how irritating and troublesome...

oh btw i missed Winx Club today.. oh man i hope there's be some kinda replay. massage at SSC tmr.. hope it'll do me too

2005-12-17T23:31:00.000-08:00

AHH so faris tagged me. it's been quite a while since the existence of this 'post random facts' chain but anyway since i'm feeling quite bored myself i shall do it. so here goes..

Rules of the game:
1. Post 5 weird/random stuff abt yourself
2. At the end, list the names of 5 ppl who you want next to this and leave a comment "YOU ARE TAGGED" in their blogs and tell them to read your blog for rules!

ramdom fact one: i used to get really full after 2-3 bites of filet-o-fish when i was young and couldnt finish my hotcakes after the first piece. hmm probably that was what lead me to my 18 kg frame at primary two.

ramdom fact two: i can wiggle my ears!!

ramdom fact three: i cant stand kids who wail non-stop. it makes me wanna paste scotchtape on their mouths. yeah this goes especially when the mothers do nothing about it and the kid just goes on and on. like hey i'd prefer listening to the fire engine than being exposed to that.

ramdom fact four: it's kinda same as faris's except mine is not as disgusting as his. i hate brushing teeth when i was young and do so once in two days unless my mother caught me not doing it. oh my sis has the same problem as me too and we found a way to get around it. we suck in our breath when mummy's inspecting so the smell doesnt get out. hahah dont worry the problem stopped when i was primary three.

ramdom fact five: i hate dolls! i never had dolls when i was young and when i do, i rip their head off. (whee! i'm a doctor!)

people i tag: benjamin, lynnette, charlene
sorry i know it's only three but i think the rest in my contacts had their share already. yeah and i apologise if the people i tagged have done it.

2005-12-17T23:21:00.000-08:00

hi. NUS challenge was very enjoyable. it's a good thing my teammates didnt feel presurized to deliver but simply to just have fun and enjoy the bouts. after round robins, we were ranked top in our pool and had to meet Ngee Ann Poly. hmm.. although cheryl and magdalene lost in their bouts, i'm contended to know that they've at least tried. anyway, i just wanted them to have fun la..
i fenced grace in that match. it was like a breakthrough you know... every hit i made had been planned and i knew exactly what she was going to do. yeah i was dead tired in the end but very happy.

i suppose i didnt have enough strength to carry on after that so it was just rushing all the way through the finals. i couldnt even remember what i did! but yeah like i was thinking in the first place. all i could recall was getting a yellow card for bending my blade on the piste. anyhow, good job, ann! and congrats =)

i miss my coach so much.

2005-12-13T17:44:00.000-08:00

the russian coaches are going back to moscow tomorrow and i sure will miss training. oh and sasha. russian is so difficult to write! i thought that if i wrote my christmas card in russian for yulia it would have been more sincere. hahah i didnt have time to do so at home so i wrote it on my 1/2 hr journey to clementi. yeah like that was enough.. i ended filling the rest of the card with english after the first two lines of russian. okay i shall learnt my russian before they return.

it's been a busy week so far with the buying of presents for X'mas and going outs. yeh havents had time to do homework. oh well i shall do so on friday since today's towning with cheryl(teo) and tomorrow we're going to cheryl (wong)'s house after badminton for a make-over for ruth. yes u bet i cant wait.

i woke up this morning to be greeted with EAGLES AWARD!! so that means in addition to the 600 bucks from spex, there's another 150 from eagles! oh harasho!!!

paka

2005-12-06T23:11:00.000-08:00

hey i'm almost done with homework! (except for that tau hu dont lie book) ahh speak about satisfaction... i got my $300 cheque yesterday! SPEXtag totally rules man... i'm so looking forward to trainings each day probably because that's the only constructive thing i do throughtout the hols. oh yeah reminds me. nus challenge's next saturday! it should be fun i guess since it'll be a new way of fencing. normally, three minutes is all we've got to get the maximum five points (that's of you're leading) but for their side, they wanted each fencer to be given five mins to get as many touchEs as apossible. how's that? =)

2005-12-05T23:36:00.000-08:00

'Australia Juniors and Commonwealth Juniors are both in January 2006. Australia Juniors in Melbourne, Australia, is 17-20 Jan and Commonwealth Juniors in Chennei, India is from 24-29 Jan. Expect to fly direct to Chennei from Melbourne perhaps via singapore if participating in the commonwealth juniors.'
aint it cool? india... gosh i hope i can go. i'm still remembering the japan trip think okay.. how nice.

2005-12-04T21:15:00.000-08:00

i'm so irritated with the speed of my com. shucks, i cant even attach one file without having to wait for goodness how long! yeah how nice i happen to need to attach nine files and i havent even done one yet.
so anyway, i'm currently reading pg. 60 of the tau hu dont lie book and it's darn boring. i've thought of not reading it and just blindly take the test but it just doesnt feel right. afterall, it's SEC FOUR next year so it's really time to get serious and mug. yeh speak about that i've havent touched my situational writing. i'm sure if i were still sec two i'd be darn happy to be in sec four. afterall, it's childish thinking that being senior in the school is somthing great isnt it? but right now, it's this o'levels thing that is buggin'. okay forgive me for crapping whatever comes into my mind. hmm.. let see.. granny's got a new dog! my thirteenth uncle's friend caught it for him and so now it's currently at my grand's place. (duh) um it's still a puppy, white with patches of black at it's ears, tip of tail and the cutest thing is a round patch of black near it's butt.

it's name? Money.

2005-12-04T01:32:00.000-08:00

i think i'm in love!!
hahah with my Olympus u-mini digital.
it's so cool la like seriously.. regret not using it earlier. hmm.. so i've finished uploading the pictures taken during the trip to my com. i've no idea how to post it on my blog but i'll find out from faris since his blog is overwhelmed with pics. okay i've done nothing today other than this (i fell asleep after reading two pages of the tau hu dont lie book). at this rate, i wonder how can i complete the book by term one. okay then gotta go.. =)

2005-12-03T07:12:00.000-08:00

yay i'm finally back from Malaysia! no offence, but i seriously think the environment back here is wayyy better. right. speak about the trip, our 'tour guide' was definitely the best we've had. okay lah he's actually my granddad's cousin's son. complicated huh? we dont even know what's the right relation to address him, so we just call him ah hwee gor gor (he said his's not too old to be addressed as uncle but he's actually a dad already) ya know, i thought KL had nothing to offer but i was serioursly wrong. they had so many historical buildings la i bet if we were to introduce singapore we'd just be pointing and comparing the height of hdb buildings.

there's nothing to speak much about shopping there.. stuff there had always be known as cheap cheap cheap but ah.. ah hwee gor gor said that 'cheap' is not the right word to describe it cause 'cheap' means low quality and inexpensive. stuff there should be known as 'decently priced' or 'less expensive'. you dont just go 'oh so CHEAP!!' -that is very offending for malaysians. which i think is true of course. anyway, i managed to get my all time favourite brand, ADIDAS, at a sale!! i got a dri-fit shirt for 30 RM only!! sheesh if not it had been the last piece i'd have gotten five pieces for the rest of the girls. yeah adidas dri-fit/climacool(s) cost at least $45 here if i'm not wrong so it's a steal for 30RM. then there'e a dark blue V-neck adidas top, also at 30RM and another one at 25RM. this one not an adidas but a nice basic top. oh i got a purple 'big-face' mickey timepiece at chinatown! 8RM.. hee inexpensive yah? i love it. then there's a green Vans sneakers at 50 RM. the rest are bits and pieces.. accessories here and there.

night scenery in KL was marvellous. went to the twin tower, KL tower, the 'ah gong's' palace etc... it's not like we've never been there before but just having someone to descirbe how the buildings were built simply makes a difference. we kinda concluded that ah hwee gor gor was a 'history' person in school. to share my knowledge, KL's twin tower was built by Samsung and another japanese company, and it's the second tallest building in the world. the tallest goes to taipei's 101 storey one. aiya also good la.. the terrorist all target there lor. the building itself is also made of some coated stainless steel/alloy and galss so the rainwater cant stain the walls. can you believe it? the whole building made of such material. and we're not talking of material to prevent errosion. of course that material serves that purpose too but it's about staining the wall with rainwater marks because the building's too tall to be washed. yeah so really glitters. we 'visited' the prositution alley too cause ah hwee said we'll need to think like adults at times and realise that there's the bad side of the world too. yeah i saw many skimpilly dressed women. and it's really little cloth la.. like a swimsuit with push up corsets. then they would stand outside the corridor and smoke whist the men would eye them. oh well...
the best part? motorcycle racing! it was scary to see more then a hundred motorcyclist lining the sides of the main road at twelve to race i tell you. the funny thing is that police headquarters are just situated behind the road. at first sight, we thought there's gonna be gang fight. then again, they (the motorcyclists) started lining up at the traffic light lines and when the green light appears even the cars made way for them. cool but scary =) last of all, the 'ah gong's' (something like president) palace was so huge even from the outside. there's a horse-racing area inside too by the way AND NO ONE LIVES IN THERE! see? talk about wasting land. countries like singapore are conserving land like siao and the ah gong and his family lives in some hotel because rumours that the palace is hunted.

last of all, i got my hair cut, went through treatment, and my eye-brows trimmed. and treatment really makes a difference cause my hair was very dry and the hair-stylist complained like siao. i got eyebrow trimming at F.O.C because the women's related to my granddad's cousin. painful man... but after a while because she's plucking at a darn fast rate the whole brow just goes numb and i dont feel pain anymore. just my left eye couldnt stop tearing. hah! no more wendy loh look!

okay i think it's enough/more than enough for an entry. team singapore got gold for women's foil team event btw, so i'm very happy for ruth, serene, cheryl and yuling! jasmine, if u happen to read this entry, i ate the char kuay teow wei young introduced to us the last time we went to selangor. very nice!

2005-11-27T01:39:00.000-08:00

i simply LOVE new creation's sermons! today's one was about God's unmerited favor.. how we should not worry but leave everything to God. it applies to my life, i realised, since i'm constantly worrying about my studies and fencing stuff. but now, i shall commit everything to God and well, just do those parts which are necessay only. hmm i've listed the list of tests we are supposed to sit for in term one and my my.. so many! chemistry is fine i suppose.. the most horrific one is geog and chinese. yeah i havent completed reading the book yet. okay okay i shall do so on tuesday during the bus trip to KL. mustnt worry..

2005-11-26T04:21:00.000-08:00

i declare the most hardworking kid on the block today! yes, yes did my physics, chem, english research and geog research all day long. actually, i've a new perspective for studying. it's really quite enjoyable actually so long u dont feel that you're studying for a test or just plain mugging. that's how i got through doing research on the internet for my sec four syllabus and preparing for the population test. HAH human geog is plain common sense anyway.

you know, i really envy people like cheryl sean and liane who are close siblings. mine's freaking selfish. everytime i use the com, she gets all green faced and complains bout me using too much com for nonsensical stuff. hello i'm doing RESEARCH. i say this so many times i think my mum just refuses to listen to me anymore so, i let her say whatever she likes. yeah speak about doing something constructive she's searching for song lyrics/titles for her mp3 right now. whatever la she tells my mother that the reaseon why she deserves to use that com is that she SAVED the internet hours for a LONG TIME and since i fixed my com in my room i've used up all my hours.. as what she claims. look, i've just had my com for less than twenty days so it's impossible how i can reduce the hours from 30+ to 12. and not forgetting i dont use everyday and i've got better things like going for trainings every night so DONT COME AND BULLSHIT BOUT THIS. but she still does anyway. hence, i'm resolved to not helping her download any of her songs into her bloody mp3 since it caused so much trouble to me. and yes, when the com crashes, i'm not going to borrow any antivirus software for her or get rid of the viruses. and lastly, i'm not going to let her touch my computer. for now, she's trying to get my mom to upgrade to broadband so she can use the dumb com at a faster speed. alas, too bad cause i'm to only one aware of the situation of the com: firstly, it has some unknown virus in it and unless I help reformatt the com, it's gonna still be damn slow. secondly, i'm still gonna be the only one who knows how to operate the new modem of software so if i'm not going to help, TOO BAD. and she cant get mom to buy a labtop or new com for her too cause we bought that just two years back so boo to you again. she's so jealous that i get a com in my room and u know why? cause i did all the upgrading and fixing new softwares that now mine run faster than the old one though it's older ( my com's donated my a law firm. it's supposed to be a win 98 version with no internet connection btw and it's been there for more than 5 yrs). see? she's just a selfish brat. what's more, my mum yields to her totally. we were supposed to go for a holiday/shopping trip to KL and she just told my mum that's she's not going anymore just because she's still sore bout me getting to use internet blah blah. and our trip's cancelled just like that. her attitude _____. i'm no going to spell it in case she sees it and she's bound to complain to my mother. i'll blog it to let the whole world know how ridiculous it is when it happens. now i know why her blog's called attidudee... it fits, see? wow i feel so much better now that i've ranted bout my unhappiness. this medium totally rocks. (PS: this is the inform my sis that i was not on the internet when i typed this long post so u dont have to tell mom that i'm wasting hours okay!

right. now i shall speak of something more interesting. i just realised recently that this guy called see wei jie lives right below me. i mean, the same block as i am. to get to the point, i didnt even know he lives here and what's more he's from our school. it's like i see him almost everyday in the past when we meet at the bus-stop but all along i thought he lives at the block opposite mine. it was until recently when he 'donated' his sec four books to me through our mothers that i saw his photograph in the add math tys. funny isnt it? i thought i knew every living soul in my block since all the kids( including me and my sis) used to gather downstairs to play sand at six when we were young. and i played marbles and block-catching with the guys and their ah beng friends too so it's kinda weird that he didnt join in. oh yah he lives just next door to Louise Goh (3A) too and i used to go louise's house to play almost everyday during kindergarden since we were friends. hmm... where was he then? probably he didnt live here when he was young (mom told me that they had this house for almost as long as ourselves) and lived with his grandparents or something.

alex's going off to Russia tonight. oh well i sure am gonna miss him since he's probably the closest guy to me in clementi. i cant believe i'm seeing him THREE MONTHS later.. in febuary. shucks it's gonna be weird. i'm missing everyone now... and the best thing is there'd only be myself and Wuhan during trainings since sean's leaving for manila on monday. i hope Wuhan stays man... and Sasha, please come hug me everyday. hahah i really adore her.. she's so cute and hugging her is like hugging a warm bloster. with a cute smile. that's totally a plus.

2005-11-24T17:49:00.000-08:00

woke up at five a.m today to get in time to see them off at the airport. gosh everyone was wearing the standard blue-green shirt with red jacket, beige pants and black shoes! it's craziness having to spot them. anyway, all the best, TEAM SINGAPORE!! i saw this famous malay siliat girl with BLONDE pleated hair and shiny dist all over it. hmm.. i wonder how is she ever going to wash the hair since it'll take eons to take out all the rubber bands...
i'm terribly bored now. i'm thinking of starting on my sec four syllabus now since i've gathered all my notes from ruth and alex. yes, that's what i love bout the fencing people. they care about you. so, i'm determined to write my notes nicely next year so i can pass them to cheryl and ann. okay then.. i guess i still have time to slack for now before i go for lunch in town. off to make a new blogskin.

2005-11-22T23:40:00.000-08:00

the chalet at surface looked like a concentration camp. no pool, no park, no bicycle no nothing. oh yes there is: one pathetic bbq pit and the surrounding fauna. so jeremy, ruolin and myself took a whole three hour journey there only to be graced by the screams from the mahjong table and sounds coming by the Xbox. how nice. i suppose the part where we enjoyed ourselves was in the room where we played cards. yesterday was probably the occasion where everyone's personalities shown. now i truely appreciate liwen for being so nice... cooking maggie for us when we were hungry, washing up and doing all the chores without a complain. it's UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE WHO ONLY KNOW HOW TO SIT AT THE MAHJONG TABLE AND ORDER PEOPLE TO COOK FOOD FOR THEM. and i'm not going to spell names.

mingxian was all pro at setting the fire!! note: remember to invite her to any bbqs. poor thing she didnt really eat much initailly. then there'e charlene who's the marshmallow champion. non-stop okay. hahah funny girl. oh course there's darcie who kept complaining bout the square sausages but ate them all the same. and i so miss dear F.C.K!!

okay so i admit myself and ruolin wanted to stay there to play but in the end we decided against it cause all the fun people went home and the remaining werent really aquainted with us. a BIG THANK YOU to cheryl for sending us back *hugs* hahah the going back trip was fun! five of us were squashed into the back seat of the car and our legs were all over. but it was comfy all the same. yeah that's all for now. i'm gonna check the other's blog to find out what happened.

2005-11-21T21:38:00.000-08:00

as much as i think nose piercing's cool, i doubt i'm willing to subject my already not nice nose to scarring if that happens. so.. anyone knows where to get the faux ones? i've got a whole list of items to get in my head : balloon skirt, more tops, jeans, bag for next year, earrings..

hmm i guess i'm looking forward to the bbq later at class chalet.. there's no pool there btw so it's kinda sucky now that i and ruolin have to think of another plan.. ahh the bliss of eating satay!

2005-11-18T06:33:00.000-08:00

YES I'M BACK AND I'VE GOT LOTS TO SAY ABOUT TODAY!!

right first of all, it's the last day of the dumb forward track programme. rejoyce, people!! hmm sad to say, it's syamil's last day here too. so anyway, we had our last session of the debating course and oh my it was damn funny!! kien hong (spell?) went all 'professional' and cracked everyone up.. then his group members were all contridicting themselves throughout the debate that jasmine at her rebuttal went 'u said ___ but your 1st speaker said ___ and your 2nd speaker said___.. so WHAT'S THIS?!' hahah then we made fun of yujie's accent and the proposition and opposition team started throwing paper balls at each other.

towning after that! so after school ended, i rushed home immediately and took a bus to cineleisure to meet sean ann and alex for lunch. it's been a long time since i ate at subway's so yeah it tasted rather good and i loved the sweet mustard. watched harry potter and the globlet of fire. ooh u know, we met ziying, shuqing, and their friends and it turned out that they had tickets for the same movie, what's more, they sat just right behind us! :D what can i say.. the movie was good but not that all fantantic. too many parts were cut off and we're still sore that cho chang's role was taken by katie leong. ( but hey, cedric diggory's so good looking!) went to hmv after that for some looking around and ate at pastamania after that. yeah actually town's boring after all and we had nothing to do but to go home after dinner.

THAT'S NOT ALL FOR TODAY, cause mommy had a surprise for us! to summarise, we're actually entitled to purchase items st TEN CENTS EACH and we're planning to choose two mp3s, two thumb drives and a dvd player! gosh i hope the items wont be taken up too soon. best of all, i got my internet connection fixed in my room! OHH LA LA!

2005-11-01T23:13:00.000-08:00

2005-11-01T02:29:00.000-08:00

I DID. whoo hoo! i've finally got some sense of accomplishment. watched maksim's concert and hey his fingers are so damn fast! and i so love exodus. anyway, i'm sick again. almost the whole nat team's sick and i hate having sore throat. oh well... so taupok.

2005-10-28T22:20:00.000-07:00

charlene, i just realised that your initial D vcd's still with me. sorry!
shucks i think i really got a bad memory. then there's ruolin's lindsay lohan album too.

anyway i've a plan on spending my hols (though i've no idea if they'll work). first, i'm gonna make full use of my time to complete the homework. yeah i know i'm using the com now, but the plan starts tmr. secondly, i'm gonna do revision with ruth and yuling. third, i'm saving for a pair of pink crocs for sasha for her christmas present. anyone saw the latest copy of urban? the crocs shoes are really cute for kids! but i'm sure they'll suck if worn by me. hmm then there's also the saving up for yuling's tiramisu cake which i'm gonna make for her after her a levels. we're gonna plan for a party! yay!

actually, it's kinda surprising why we've received so little homework for now. hah i bet they're saving up for later when we complete the isp programme. oh man i better start as soon as possible or they'll start piling up and i'll never finish them in time.

JASMINE! i found out that besides my aunty's family (dad's side) going to New Creation Church, my cousins(mum's side) are going there too! and guess what? she said she's thinking of putting me and my sis there too so we can spend more time with my cousins as one of them just received christ. so that means... I MIGHT GO CHURCH WITH YOU! okay i'll talk to you more when we meet.

2005-10-27T23:47:00.000-07:00

school bazaar and open house was a total BIG FAT FLOP-and that's probably the kindest thing i'd say bout it.

anyway, i cant believe that today's the last day of school (not to mention isp). and i got sucky results. level position 121!!! how's that?! i've never once in sec school dropped out of the top 100 and now it's 121?! yeah i got yiyao's mid-yrs position and he's got mine. how lucky. i kinda regret not studyiong harder. see? i hate it when such things happen.. like u'd know u can do much better and didnt. watched too much tv instead. yeh mama's rubbing it again- 'see la your fencing cause you to waste time.. dont have enough time to study..blah blah'. but no it didnt! anyway, if i hadn't went for fencing i'd probably slack through the wohle half year and feel guilty bout it now.

okay so i managed to witness the current situation of bpg fencing. i've got nothing to day bout it. good luck. it's like years of hard work going down the drain. or rather it has already went down it.

i'm feeling emptiness in me now... like the sudden urge to study and do well. oh if only there's another chance. argh i still cant believe it. next year we'd be in sec 4 then there'd be the o levels.. on to jc.. blah. guess i'd have to face anything that comes along then.

good luck to all

2005-10-26T07:16:00.000-07:00

urg now that we've finished watching Outbreak there really isnt anything left for me to look forward to going to school anymore.
anyway, speak about fencing the cutest thing happened today. after lesson ended and while i was resting on the bench, Sasha came to me and whispered that she wanted to show me her photo. i thought, why not, since i havent seen any or hers. so she held me by my hand and lead me inside the store to where the coaches' bags were. guess what? she took out a BAGUETTE (half ate) and showed me.

'see? this my photo'

and the next thing she took a big bite out of the baguette and smiled at me. -.-"

'my photo very nice', she said, then offered me a piece.

oh well, kids. i thought it was rather smart of her to lure me to accompanying her.

2005-10-24T01:07:00.000-07:00

self reflection on my part today.
first and foremost, i have no idea how many christians in this world are in my situation, that is, guilty of not behaving 'christian like'. after speaking to daryl, ive realised how much i lack of the fire to seek god's word. it's like a total different passion when compared to fencing. right first i've to admit that on sundays, i do not desire or look forward to go church. it's like i go because i feel that i'm duty-bound. it's not right because it defeats the purpose of doing so! christians go church because sundays are suppose to be kept to honor god and worship him. we go because we love him and want to thank him for the blessings given to us.yet, i feel guilt when singing worship songs. i cant relate any of god's goodness because in the first place, i've never placed him as top priority. to make it worst, i SLEEP on some occasions during sermon. why? because i've not been touching the bible for ages, i have no passion to seek god's word or some other factor which distracts me. i'm not proud or anything about all this. i feel like a big fat hypocrite who does not repay god's goodness by at least praying to him or anything. i barely pray ten times a week even by counting those we say before meals! u see, that's my situation.

daryl told me that at least i am aware of my sinfullness whereas others do not care. but so what now? i've been seeking to get closer to god for like ages but okay so u can see. i know this is not an excuse because i've not been trying hard enough or simply because i've to change my attitude. yes that's right. that was what i did when i went to charlene's church- take notes, read the bible. it was good but i was unable to sustain it long enough. besides, i cant really understand what the pastor was preaching because of my lousy chinese understanding. i think ruth and i share the same situation and i've heard aunty suan tell her that it's simply just not the time for our calling. but then again, at my rate, how am i suppose to find a breakthrough? i truely want to be closer to god and just trust him my everything like what mommy's been doing.

daryl told me that the only thing i can do now is to pray about it and leave the rest to god. but on the other hand, i'm sick of making empty promises. my prayers at night always goes '...please forgive me for all my sins..' which i probably think god is sick of hearing all these since i know what i've gone wrong and not correcting my mistakes. u get it? i just feel so guilty that i dont even want to say them anymore since i'm sinning further by making empty promises. the bible says that all our sins would be read out when we're in heaven. i'm just so afraid that mine would mount to that similar of whole roll of toilet paper in prints of font size 2, arial narrow. then they'd take ages to finish reading.

god please help.

2005-10-23T07:22:00.000-07:00

gosh PHO is so nice! i used to really loath beansprouts until i ate those that comes with the pho. um then there's the beef brisket and herbs in the soup, blah blah..
anyway, mommy met her long lost childhood pal who works in the restaurant. reminesence and stuff. aunty linda treated us custard dessert!
hmm it's really nice to see mama so happy today. i guess she's grateful to me? well most likely since she kept saying how great it was to meet her friend.. and i got to know practically everything that happened in the past within an hour. turns out that mommy used to travel alot in the past. like went to japan three times, switzerland, italy and so on.

okay.. god bless me.

2005-10-22T08:52:00.000-07:00

HURRAY i'm getting new fencing shoes after the long wait of.. 5mths? yeah. u should take a took at my present smelly and worn out ones. the soles are practically smooth (thanks to friction) and the sides are lined with holes.

anyway, it's mama's birthday today. hah HAPPY Blessed (secret)th Birthday!! hmm i shall wish for her:
no.1 : get closer to God
no.2 : no more scoldings for Joan
no.3 : increase joan's allowance
no.4 : may all my students to shut up when they're having tuition
no.5 : erm long life?
yeah i'm sure ther'e gonna be lots more except i cant think of any at the moment especially when i'm dead tired.

right in return i shall treat my mama to beef noodles!
check out this great restaurant :

2005-10-20T22:37:00.000-07:00

PRESENTING THE FIRST EVER BLOGSKIN BY YOURS TRULY!!

anyway, today's a boring day. came down with flu and ended up reading a book. i've been reading alot lately. harry potter's globlet of fire, the sliver brumby ( darn good book trust me), dancing in red pointe shoes will kill you.. and the list goes on.
