I'M BACK!

from OBS!

hahah it was quite fun, though our class was split up. we were with the GEPers. hahah I LOVEE CHERONNE AND MELISSA SNG! both of them are auper cute! especially melissa! hahha (: wheee

ooh and on the last night of OBS, han chih and jiamin went NUTS, i tell you. their lesbian tendencies started ACTING UP. and han chih was professing her love for marie and shuyi. ahhaah and jiamin was going crazy over chaiping and sarah. hahah but i agree that marie is hot. hahahah ooh and we couldnt even have dinner properly cos it was damn funny. and han chih was going on about the 5 types of woman. dont know what-the woman you want to spend your life with, the woman you want to talk to, BLAH

ooh and han chih was dancing her weirdo dance. it really cracked us up! oh man han chih is super funny! the moment she opens her mouth, i want to laugh. no one can CRY around han chih. maybe die of laughing. and i slpet next to her for 2 nights and she wore her DORAEMON MASK. hahaha the moment i turned to face her, i would laugh. and sppoisedly, han chih doesnt want to ask me out cos i will just laugh. how unromantic, she says. hahaha OKAY.

ooh and on the first day we did nothing much. and on the 2nd day we went kayaking to camp 2 and abseiling. i partnered jiamin! and we could kayak so fast! hahaha and she volunteered for the capsizing drill. it was terrible, i tell you. ALL THE WATER goes into your nose! but i was FUNN.

ewww camp 2 was gross. the toilets were of unacceptable standard! they make even our school toilets seem inviting. REALLY. they reek of urine and looked like they havent been cleaned for years. TERRIBLE. i pity the mobile people. oh and in the middle of the night you can hear the monks chanting in the distance. i was so freaked cos nobody else could hear the music.

and on the 3rd day we had a full day of trekking. super tiring. then we went to the highest point on ubin and had a dip in the quarry! ooh then we met some auntie who had stayed on ubin all her life and keeps a fruit orchard. I TOTALLY ADMIRE HER. she lives alone with her four doggies. she reminds me of my granma (:

then we cooked outdoors and fended off a wild boar! hahaha yeah and we heard monks chanting again. but this time there was some hip music. then someone in my tent went, "wow, how come nowadays monks so hip?" hahah

on the 4th day we kayaked back. and i partnered jiamin again. ooh and before that we had jetty jump. which was like about 2.5m high. when you jump, your stomach DROPS. but it was fun, though. and then we did inverse tower. ERGH. didnt like it. haha it was so hard. i stayed at the same spot for like half an hour, then gave up, but jiamin could climb to the top! and i stayed down. :( ooh CHERONNE AND MELISSA are super good! as agile as monkeys. WHOA. you should see TAKE ON THE TOWER, BABY!

haha then nothing much. but on the 5th day something unhappy cropped up. shall decline to elaborate. but i think we wronged Ken, our instructor. he's nice! i think he was quite a good instructor. as in i wasnt afraid on all the activities cos i knew were wouldnt get hurt. and he might seem a little laid back and all, but that's just his style! oh and me and jiamin had this thing about POSITIVE ATTITUDE, mosquito patches in the form of smilies (:

and after we went to say sorry to ken, she gave him the POSITIVE ATTITUDE repellents. i almost cried, so sad! yeah and jiamin and huiqi cried. and when ken saw us off at the jetty, i think he was tearing too. I MISS KEN! boo. ooh and after he walked away and never looked back, he was wearing this double layer so he took of the top layer in the distance and swung it around on his hand. THAT MEANS HE WAS SAD TOO. so it was quite sad leaving OBS. and kwei and celia cried in the boat too. but me, han chih, aileen and liza didnt cry! ohwells. what a way to leave OBS.

ooh and TODAY i went to the food republic for lunch after my orthodontic appointment. I LOVE THE FOOD REPUBLIC. the atmosphere makes you wanna EAT EAT EAT. so we had tim sum and hcicken rice and COFFEE. the food rocked! YUMMAYE.

hahah okay, my goal is to make my own blogskin pic and then get zhuoxuan to code for me. (: my brother's got a book on adobe photoshop! got the pics already, but not blended yet! they're miss selfridge and massimo dutti fashion photos. NICEE! yupsadoo, so i have to get my bro to teach me.

AND must count my monaye, to go on a shoppin spree! i need a new bag, new clothes, AGAIN. hhahaha (:

oh yeah and at OBS me, han chih, huiqi, jiamin were discussing HOT GUYS in movies.

so this is our list.

(not in any order of merit).

1) JOHNNY DEPP, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN (swelteringly hot) hahaha
2) JUDE LAW
3) JAKE GYLLENHAAL, BROKEBACK MOUTAIN
4) LEORNADO DI CAPRIO , CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
hhaha no more.

and aileen was screaming about jesse macartney and justin timberlake. but i dont agree. hahhaah (: for obs pics, go to aileen's blog!

oh yeah and i like watching the oscars! i wanna watch CRASH. hahah (: okay more comments on the oscars later! i was discussing with my granny last night.

ooh and im supposed to be doing my bio sia now! but i cant be bothered. :( s tired. anyway, i'm halfway through.

ooh and tomorrow's gonna be fun! i sundays! as in the mornings! hahahah can have pancakes for breakfast tomorrow! latest craze, after popcorn. hahahah
ooh and can go buy the super nice chocolate cake after lunch! (:

(: and money, and shopping, and cooking, and PANCAKES. ooh and animals!

hahah i saw this nicee white esprit spag top which i want! and i need to go buy beads and stuff from topshop or wherever. and i need to buy a new beeg bag, for weekends. i saw thie white guess rodeo tote bag that day, but its like 200 bucks! :/ not pocket-friendly.

hahhah! okay good night (:

ooh and here's a silly song me, ruiqi and nicola composed:

the trees are green,
the sky is blue.
i love tea and i love you!
And all that i can see
is just another cup of tea.

(sung to the tune of lemon tree)

2006-02-16T03:56:00.000-08:00

hahaaha.

aint got nothing to blog about.

except that i'm reading "of mice and men" now and i'm really sleepy.
ooh and i'm addicted to popcorn!

must have my popcorn fix every day.

school is so dull. like nothing much really happens.

oh and ilove mondays because there's PE and we can sing and dance and do silly things like sing "American Pie"!

and i love wednesdays cos there's America's Next Top Model, except its getting a little too bitchy.

and i love thursdays cos there's URBAN newspaper. (:

and i love friday nights and weekends. because i can sleep longer and go out and dress up and look around the shops (:

ooh and this is really random now. i wanna watch Brokeback Mountain. it's so saddd. i was so affected by the trailer. and it doesnt help that heath ledger and jake gyllenhall are sooo hot.
hahaha. heh. chaiping and quekie say this blog is so unlike me, because they cant imagine me swooning. hahahah ooh and the music is so gentle and the scenery is so majestic its really poignant and moving.

the two greek gods! (:

boo. :/ maybe i shall just study a bit and slack today. I WANT MY POPCORN!

2006-02-05T00:59:00.000-08:00

SOMETHING INTERESTING HAPPENED TODAY!

i saw a kite! on the tree outside my house. as in kite, a bird that looks like an eagle, but it's much smaller. it was grey and was mottled wth black spots. and a white head! and i was studying geog in the study! nd i was so excited, so i took the binoculars out and watched it! hahahah birdwatching is funnn!

ooh and then after a while it flew fomr tree to tree and disappeared! and now i'm trying to find the name of the kite!

IM SO EXCITED. hahahah the last time i saw one was in primary six, a golden coloured kite on someone's rooftop in the distance. sounds so majestic, eh?

hahah i dont know what kite it is! anyway, this is another kite that can be found in singapore!
the brahminy kite

could be the one i saw on the rooftop. because it's back was to me and it was brown!hahah at least i think what i saw today was a kite! because it was big and looked like an eagle. but maybe it was another type of bird! never mind, it shall be called the

"The Bird I Saw on 5th of February"

AHA! found it! oohbashoomba! hhahaaahah

so it's not a kite, it's a WHITE-BELLIED SEA EAGLE! whhe i have a natural curiosity! hahhah okay.
HERE IT IS! Ta-DA!

whee the mystery bird is revealed! and my maid said she saw it yesterday as well.

FACTS ON THE WHITE-BELLIED SEA EAGLE.

"The White-bellied Fish Eagle is the largest raptor in Singapore: with a wingspan of 50cm and body length of 70cm.White-bellied Fish Eagles are more commonly seen on warm early mornings riding the coastal thermals, holding their wings in a V-shape (other raptors hold them horizontally).White-bellied Fish Eagles hunt prey that are found near the water surface mainly sea snakes, and fish. But other prey include birds, turtles, swimming crabs and even bats. They may also scavenge on refuse; a few haunt harbours for this purpose."

http://www.naturia.per.sg/buloh/birds/Haliaeetus_leucogaster.htm

ooh and they pair for life and are found near inland reservoirs! but how come i saw only one! and my house is sort of near a reservoir, but not very near! AHH so interesting!

how i wish we can learn this way, and not from memorising textbooks!

hahah and this is for clarisse look! they eat TURTLES.

bye! thank you eagle, you've made my day!

2006-02-03T06:12:00.000-08:00

i've been so busy this week. and everyone's busy too! so my blog's a bit dead. hahaha

argh my lips are cracking.
and i'm so tired. only slept 7 hours for a few nights already. i mean, for some of us, 7 hours is more than enough or not enough to make you feel like a zombie. but for me, 7 hours is my breaking point. i'll be dead the whole day. hahaah

and chaiping said maybe i'm not used to being tired, but others are. hahah maybe that's why. i hate being tired and sleepy.

and i've not been myself:/ i dont know when i became unusually quiet. like i'm too tired to talk. and i'm also speaking unusually softly.

and today me and yisan played so badly during training. and she said she was tired, too. ooh and i had this horrible blister and my right leg hurts.

ooh and now i'm gonna write something.

i know why the students laugh.
it's because they
live in hope of the weekend.

ahh i live for weekends!
and my lips are smarting so badly now.

2006-01-29T06:00:00.000-08:00

URGH. i'm such an idiot.
i forgot to tape the dancesport grand finals on tv today! boo :\

OH NO. i also clean forgot about my funfair tickets.
oh great. hahaha

ooh and i just watched CHICKEN RUN. it's so cute! ooh i love chickens now. so i'm gonna STOP EATING CHICKENS.

everyone, spare a thought for these poor chickens! give them a chance to escape from their chicken coops, make an airplane and fly out then enjoy life on a green island in a lake. hahaha that's basically the storyline to chicken run. but it's so cute! and those people are also the creators of wallace and gromit.

pity i watched narnia instead. i had this gut feeling that wallace and gromit would be much better! but i didnt heed it :\

ooh and i'm crazy over american pie! as in that song!! ooh its so nice! AMERICAN PIE. i dont know why i like this type of cowboyish, wild west type of music. it's like so easy-going and there's this nice swinging rhythm. and not to mention that the singers sound great! hahahhahah maybe i'm a cowgirl at heart! :)

ooh and thank you all for tagging! hahaha you know i feel so happy when i see my tagboard full! really! it makes my day!! HAPPY NEW YEAR.

ooh and dear zhuoxuan is making a blogskin for me! so i'm sure it'll be nice! wheee. thank you!!

argh. i'm still so upset over the dance thingo. so i'm listening to american pie now. this is the third time! hahaha

byee!

2006-01-26T06:45:00.000-08:00

hahahah i'm seriously considering joining dance in JC! hahah although i think i'll be the worst!oh and maybe i might join tennis too! these are my two prospective CCAs! ahahah i'll prove to all you skeptics that it will NOT be your worst nightmare!

and thank you for tagging. in reply, to renice first, THAT IS NOT MY WAY OF SAYING I LOVE YOU! hahahah ooh although i love you! hahaha i love ladybuggy renice!

ooh and you can go ahead and steal the iGallop, just go to quekie's house and not mine! cos i'm giving it to her, since she COVETS IT, NEEDS IT and TOTALLY WANTS IT. and she loves the ad! and besides, i'm so angry that she says she will laugh her ass of if i dance! so i'm gonna buy it for her. and you two can slug it out. to see who gets the HOTHOT iGallop!

ooh and yes chenchi! the vending machine's coffee is so low quality! hahaha and the milk is sour. so we cannot enjoy our ice coffee anymore :(

ooh and eileen! whee i'm so glad you were the only one who didnt react adversely to my sudden inspiration to join dance in JC. WHEE, see eileen has confidence in me! and not like you horrible people who dont belive in my ability! ooh and thank you jiamin for saying i can DANCE! hahahah thank you!

okay, byebye i'm gonna sleep, which is my favourite activity of the day. hahaha clarisse! i'm gonna rest your dear brain!

ooh and someting really interesting happened today. at the cinema, i was telling clarisse to look at the hot cowboy (the one i posted a picture of) and i went "Clarrise, look!" while pointing at the picture! and after i said it i started laughing. hahah because i actually meant clarisse, take a look! and not shouting her full name! ahhaah clarisse really cracks me up. and so does quekie.

oh and i saw yiling perform today in CO! and that modern dance song is stuck in my head. and i thought the qian hong chinese dance was really good. CAN YOU IMAGINE ME DANCING THAT DURING LAST YEAR'S SABBATICALS! see i can dance okay! and i can carry lifern. like a hamster carrying an elephant. hahaah

2006-01-26T06:19:00.000-08:00

today i went to watch memoirs of a geisha with audrey, clarisse, penny, cheryl and yuqin! and scarily, it was our OM group without pohting. and even more scarily, when we were on the bus to orchard, WE SAW TAN LEW LING. out OM teacher mentor last year!

SUPER SCARY, i tell you.

ahahah the movie was not bad! and we sneaked some food in. hahaha clarisse looked like she was going to fall asleep. and we were all busy wondering why a NINE-YEAR OLD chiyo would say "I met a handsome man who bought me ice-cream today", when the guy is like 30+! and still be in love with him for years.

and worse still, why the guy made her wait that long. hahahah that's why the whole thing is a little demented. and that gong li was this huge bitch.

hahahah

ooh, but the whole film was really pretty to look at. the costumes are great, and so is the scenery! hahaha

oh and before the film we went around cini to look for a new year outfit for dear old clarisse look! but she didnt seem interested at all. :\ oh and we saw this shirt which said "Don't hate me becausee i'm beautiful." HAHAH maybe renice should wear it, since she's so egoistic!! hahah or maybe clarisse. ok renice when it's your birthday i'll buy that shirt for you. if it's still there. :)

ah and it has finally sunken in that renee has left. so sad! she just left yesterday. but aussie is gonna be so much more fun! as in it's more carefree, you get nicer weather, scenery, great beaches, nice kangaroos, pick up an accent, hahah and learn surfing! but the one bad thing is that it's really hot in summer.

if i could i just would break free from all this crazy, mad studying. UGHH. i cant stand it.

cant wait for chinese new year. whee then i can get to dress up and all! so funnn. and i'm gonna gorge myself on pineapple tarts! hhhahaha and that's all and byebye

and happy chinese new year. and gong xi fa cai!!

2006-01-21T22:34:00.000-08:00

HIII

so sorry everyonee! havent blogged in sooo long. too busy, i guess. with all those junk the teachers can feed us with, i.e. homework :/

ohh whee im back, FINALLY. blogging! and i realised my tagboard is quite dead. hahah

ohh went to the modern dance concert on friday! hahah i loved the last half of it! and i liked the red dress dance. hahah the one where they wore the red dresses. and eileen was soo good in the china blues thing! actually she was good in everything. eileen is a good dancer! and i saw 307's aileen too! she's good too! ooh and heiyi and huzhe.

HAHA. now i'm going to give you your worst nightmare: I FEEL SO INSPIRED TO JOIN DANCE IN JC!! hahahha

ooh and quekie i'm going to buy you the iGallop and make you use it everyday! hahaah and since it's so expensive and i'm going to blow my entire life's savings on it, you cant refuse me!

oh and i just cut my own fringe yesterday! actually it looks the same! but much better! oh and i did chinese new year decorations for my house yesterday! and i was soo tired and sweaty cos i was dancing and singing crazily with my brother, the maia-hi, maia ho, maia hu song.

HAHAHHA i must think of more dance moves!! bu the whole hting is so spastic. and maybe we can borrow dark glasses and have a totally straight face while dancing it.

oh you know the hsbc ad, the dancing one, I LOVEE THE SONG!

when the rimm-e-rhythm starts to play,
dance with me, make me sway.
Like the steady ocean hugs the shore,
Dance with me, wait no more.

AND HERE ARE MY OWN LYRICS!

like a never-ending lullaby,
Lift your voice, unto the sky.
Snap your fingers to the beat,
Dance with me, tap your feet.

when the rimm-rhythm starts to end,
Dance with me, in the sand. (okay this is the worst line).
It takes two to ta-ango,
Dance with me, away we go.

hahha and i added some spanishy instrumental here.

hahahah. DANCING IS FUNN!

oooh and i was watching the golden globes the other day. johnny depp looked so arabic.

hahah and maybe i'm going to play tango as one of my pieces!!
THANKYOU MODERN DANCE FOR INSPIRING ME!

ooh and jiamin, melissa i'll link you when i have time. i'm sorry im so busy! must clear all my stuff before the new year!

TATA. i'm going to do my horrible homework.

2006-01-06T06:26:00.000-08:00

hello.

i dont like school at all! i miss 210. and sadly, i miss all our 210 teachers! and mr. mackintosh is no longer our badminton teacher-in-charge.

oooh so sad. but one hting to be happy about, is the lunches with quekie, yiling, yujie, chaiping, clarisse, zhuoxuan, penny (did i miss out anyone?) every day! ahhh. that's the only time i'm even remotely happier about school. oh and pure humans is fun too because i am sitting next to quekie!! hahah and that day we drew that silly water cycle diagram and i drew this silly sheep with the big head! (:

oh actually that's about all. i dont wanna go to school! and i dont wanna study/revise ALL OVER AGAIN. ahh there's still 39 weeks of school to go. see if i dont die!

oh and here are some of my unachievable new year's resolutions!

1) drink 10 cups of water every day! hahah must stay healthy. and i heard it can give you good skin!
2) eat 4 servings of fruit daily!
3) sleep by 10.20 pm every night!
4) finish all my homework before sunday, which is relaxation/revising tests day.
5) keep to last year's studying style.
6) save more money!

okay have to go now! get that beauty sleep for the inner glow! hahahah byee!

2005-12-29T19:13:00.000-08:00

say hello to 2006!

i shall blog about my shopping trip cum orthodontist visit on wednesday! so i had one hour to kill before my appointment. i went to forever 21 first, and i saw this white top i liked a lot, but didnt buy. then i went to topshop, which was having a sale! and i wanted the green skirt and some asymmetrical skirt so badly, i'm going to consider borrowing money to get them. and i went into to fcuk and saw this reversible top, but i didnt buy it. i then rushed to the clinic.

then when i came out i just had to go to taka. Guess was having a sale so i tried two tops and a pink dress. 1 of the tops didnt fit and i decided not to buy the other, but the pink dress was so prettyyy!! so i bought the pink dress!ahhh it's so pretty okay!

ooh then i walked back to topshop. but i ran out of money to buy the skirts. so i bought a green tank with some peacock design.

so these are my new year's wants
things i want!!
1. stila lip gloss!
2. gold or white pumps from topshop
3. gold bag from topshop (or a better bag if i get a sudden windfall)
4. gold beads/black beads from topshop

YESYESYES. i will save up. and i will stick to that saving plan of mine. and find ways to make money! hahah the only one i thought of was earning interest from a bank, but that's so lame! but you've got to let money work for you, like growing a nest egg all by itself, like an investment. not a job, or anything.

the worst thing is, now i have absolutely zero money left. zilch. nothing. and those sales out there! but never mind! i shall think of a way, maybe get a loan.

ahh this bag's so delicious. Fendi mink spy bag. but it's so expensive. it's like $10000! and it's mink, number two. and its bad to wear/carry fur, because you'll be killing an innocent animal!

and there's all that hype about the balenciaga bags! and the fendi spy bags. sigh. no money, no talk. hahahah

oh and school is opening in 3 days! which is bad news. i tell you honestly, i really dont fancy going back, not at all.

2005-12-23T06:30:00.000-08:00

wow! imagine being able to do that on a horse!

whee. this is for quekie's benefit! so that she can see her goal and try to reach it, to be a cowgirl! hahaha

like, how'dy, merry christmas! where me presents? hahha ok that was dumb!

I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name’
cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain

this is a nice cowboy-style song! go listen to it! the title's "Horse with no name".

oh and this is for quekie's benefit too! that's heath ledger on the left! (: and whoever can see the pickup numberplate can go buy 4-d, whatever you want.

okay this post has been full of pictures and less of words! which is a refreshing change, really! dont you think!

okay, MERRY CHRISTMAS! i'm so happy! tomorrow's christmas eve!
and i've learned "12 days of christmas"! now the only thing i cant remember is the sixth day! what did my true love send on the sixth day, now, i forgot!

and, so let's let the jingle bells rock and sing "We wish you a merry christmas" for a holly jolly christmas this year!

2005-12-20T20:39:00.000-08:00

HOTHOTHOT.

2005-12-20T20:07:00.000-08:00

I"M SO HAPPY!

yesterday i went shopping with ruiqi, yisan and dorlisa after training! we bathed and changed and went to far east plaza to have burger king for lunch!

and after eating we met ruiqi's primary school coach outside with some barker badminton boys, and jonathan from my cell group was also there.

then we walked around in far east plaza! and ruiqi, yisan and dorlisa made me try on this brown knee-length flare skirt. but we didnt really like it so we didnt buy.

oooh and after that we went to tangs! and we decided to go to tangs studio since yisan wanted to look for her shoes! AND NOW THIS IS THE BEST PART.
i saw this nice pair of glittery silver heels! but they were quite casual you know! and after trying on i was so in love with them so i decided to buy! GLITTERY SILVER HEELS FROM TANGS! hahahha and i got a nice tangs carrier bag! and a nice shoe box! wheee i love tangs! it shall be my new shoe store! so i ended up buying shoes instead of yisan, because she was still in love with her charles and keith heels!

and i was sooo happy after that! so after that we went to wisma! and i walked into FCUK and nine west with yisan while dorlisa and ruiqi went to look for slippers. but too pricey and not nice! then we went to topshop to meet dorlisa and ruiqi. couldnt find anything i liked though. then we went to charles and keith because yisan wanted to see if they had the size she wanted for her beloved heels! but there wasnt, so they cross checked with other stores and there was, at compass point! hahah which is so near to her house. hahaha perfect example of that horrible alchemist book we did in sec 1, the treasures we seek to find but eventually find on our doorstep! next we went to forever 21, but i couldnt be bothered to really look so i just brushed through.

and then we went to bugis! because yisan wanted to visit her sister waorking part-time there and i wanted to buy my dress! so after going to seiyu we went to buy my dress! it's so nice! actually i tried on the same colour, same pattern but the top was like spag straight cut, and the dress was so puffy and made me look fat. but the salesgirl told me it was a babydoll dress so the cut's like that. and then she took out the same dress but with a spag v-neck cut! and i tried it on! and it was so much nicer than the other one! it's tighter at the top and a flare skirt at the bottom! so nice!! hahah and so i bought it!

i actually intended to stop spending there, but we went to another shop and i saw this gorgeous black dress! and when i tried it, it was nicer than the brown one! and it was quite casual too so i just had to buy it! it's actually spag but you can wear it as a halter. wheeee I LOVE MY NEW BLACK DRESS.

and so i was done shopping cos i had no money left! and dorlisa wanted to buy her slippers so we went to OP. and she found nice hot pink slippers! she also tried the black but found the pink nicer! hahaah i didnt know they gave you such a nice transparent plastic case to put your slippers in. and we decided to go to ruiqi's house! we stayed there for a while and dorlisa's father fetched yisan and me home!

whee! i have new clothes! and i still have that skirt from korea which i'm supposed to keep for new year! and a denim flare zara skirt for christmas! still have some cash left for one more shopping spree! maybe on monday, when we're oging to watch aeon flux! post-christmas sales should be on! and i can get a nice knee-length skirt and some more tops!

ooh and i devised a new saving scheme! which will enable me to buy my own stuff! in a way i cant wait for school cos i can get money! hahaah but all the mugging will drive me mad. and i finished my commonwealth essay but i have to edit it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! it's 4 days to christmas!

2005-12-16T06:20:00.000-08:00

okay, relax. school isnt starting so soon.

BUT I HAVENT BOUGHT MY BOOKS.
which means i havent read the bonesetter's daughter.
and i havent finished writing my commonwealth essay.
wow, great job.
okay prepare to die.
it's 9 days to christmas.

2005-12-13T21:21:00.000-08:00

wahahah that's my darling Christmas tree!! whee this is fun.
let's play a game!

guess the number of decorations hung on the tree!
the prize is a ...

DOLLAR! wahhahah if you're not so money-faced you'll play it!

but the thing is, i dontknow the answer myself!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

2005-12-12T06:24:00.000-08:00

ooh christmas, my favourite time of year, is back! in two jolly weeks, we will once again experience the joy of christmas! WHEE

im totally in love with roast turkey with cranberry sauce. hahah i had it at some christmas party. SO DELICIOUSS.

so im gonna write a christmas poem.

Christmas, ah!
What did you say was coming?
Great Singapore Sale, you say?
No, lah, not again too soon,
This time it’s Christmas Day!

You see already the Orchard light-up,
That lends merry festive cheer?
Strolling down our favourite street
To soak up the atmosphere.

Nothing is better this season than
Tang’s stunning decorations, Taka’s giant Christmas tree.
Eh, don’t forget Centrepoint’s M&M-inspired façade
Battling, tooth and nail, for all the Christmas glory.

Christmas offers up for grabs,
How? Don’t rush me, I can’t decide at all!
To buy, or not to buy?
Aiyah, better give da-sao a call.

Can’t think of anything to do?
Just pop down to the Esplanade.
To listen to timeless Christmas songs
By the SSO* brilliantly played.

Eh, What’s your Chrismas wish this year?
A diamond ring of a lovely fee?
Or the practical ones amongst us may say,
Pay raise, lower tax and banished ERP.

Uncle Tan, Auntie Lin,
Come to our Christmas party!
For Christmas calls for much family bonding,
Maybe to top it all of, a durian-eating spree!

So that’s the Singaporean perspective of Christmas
No holly, no Santa, no mistletoe.
Only our dear loved ones, throw in a Christmas tree.
And our tropical climate means, sorry ah, boh snow!

*Singapore Symphony Orchestra

wow! my hokkien is not bad. hahaah okay this is an attempt to write a poem with a uniquely local flavour. haah what do you think?

Clrs: this is for you when you come back! YES I MISS SHIFU! arent you touched and moved by my sincerity? this is as good as making a public declaration. hahahah

CP: YES IT WAS! oh by the way i tagged your blog as a reply!

Quekie: why to each his own?! i thought everyone liked kimchi. hahaah oh by the way the ski lesson only teaches you how to stop. and nothing else hahahah

Kind Penguin: OHHH thank you for welcoming me back! whee i love yiling! cos she said "I Love LIWEN" in caps!! hahaah maybe when i grow up i'll dedicate my life to saving endangered penguins. and when they interview me to find out why i chose so, i'll say "because of kind penguin!! who tagged at my blog one day and said the above quote.

hahahah. that was so crap.

OOOHHHH PURPLE ALERT. i got purple braces! wheee yujie arent you proud of me!

ooh anyone for PRIDE AND PREJUDICE? and CHRONICLES OF NARNIA! and shopping? the shopping part only succeeds if i succeed in getting my mom to agree. oh yes. all the broken promises.

OH and one important thing.
do you like to eat raisins?
yesterday my cousins and i found out

in one packet of sunmaid raisins.

hahaah just so you know.

2005-12-02T06:00:00.000-08:00

WHEEEE! im back from korea!! it was quite a fun trip. hahah but i'm too lazy to blog now.

more later!

P.S. I CAN REALLY SKI! the lesson was only for 5 mins but i could already ski!! hahah skiied the whole day! and i only fell once! hhahahah

ooh and i bought an amazing green skirt from sincheon, korea. (:it was a marvellous find! ooh and im going to eat kimchi now!

2005-11-22T06:11:00.000-08:00

today i went to watch harry potter and the goblet of fire with quekie, yiling, clarisse, chaiping, yujie and elaine after training.

wow. i never knew a harry potter movie could be so...surprisingly good. i mean, it gave me that nice satisfied feeling after watching it. which is a good sign. which means i liked it. hahahah ohno. i dont want to go crazy over harry potter!

my brain is really screwed. hahah how could i feel bored watching pirates of the caribbean and like watching harry potter! hahah maybe tomorrow i shall ask my cousin to bring her harry potter movies. OHNO. im going mad. but i'm sure ardent harry potter fans like chenchi and yiling would be happy.

and for the movie i ate a jumbo hotdog with lots of chilli and sat next to chaiping. who was totally clueless about harry potter! just like i was. (: except that she watched the movies but i didnt, and i never read a single book. only the first page of the first book, which i can still remember as harry and his parents sitting at a table eating something. and i can distinctly remember an owl. Right. and owl. (:

and i must be really dumb. my brain is malfunctioning. for example, i didnt even know who dumbledore was by the end of the movie. hahah until elaine said he was the one with the moustache, but her gestures suggested a beard. a moustache and a beard are two different things! hahahahah

like for example, jack sparrow has a moustache but not a beard.

oh and i thought the moody-eye-guy who lived in a chest covered his eye because it was too bright. i never knew it was because his eye was taken out by the guy who had one normal eye and one huge eyeball. hahah and i told quekie and she nearly fainted.

and elaine laughed at me when i asked her who dumbledore was. and chaiping said, "I thought you were supposed to be smart." ahahahah

ooh and clarisse, those strawberry earrings were just a JOKE. but it was kind of you to offer to buy them for me! ooh and yujie's hair was quite cool. the first thing i noticed when we took neos was yujie's hair. hahaha

and went i went home today i saw a beagle with a collar alone on the road, sniffing the ground. hope it was not lost! i wanted to help it but on second thought, it didnt look lost. like the last time i saw this poodle that looked thin outside my house and i thought it was lost. but i followed it for a while and saw it go into someone's house. (: i am nice to animals! hahah like how i help overturned bugs get back to their feet. ot try not to kill ants.

ooh and i want to watch the chronicles of narnia and pride and prejudice! whee! cant wait!

and i want to buy the chronicles of narnia book. (:

ooh and i'm reading east of eden now! by john steinback. it was some james dean movie. my grandma said it was very very good! whee looking forward to korea cos i love flying (: the book is simply riveting. even as i type, i have it in front of me. which is an extremely rare occurence.

ooh and the temperature today in my study is 20 degreescelcius. hahah which is highly unusual! maybe i should just go be a weather girl.

2005-11-21T22:38:00.000-08:00

first of all, i would like to thank all the nice people who tag my blog! (: for ensuring the survival of my tagboard (: why do i keep smiling? ahahah i sound like im starting an oscar acceptance speech hahah

ooh today is a highly unusual day!

FIRST OF ALL, you see, the temperature in my room throughout the whole day was twenty-eight degrees celcius, which is an extremely rare occurence in the day! normally it would be around thirty.

TWO, i actually got bored while watching pirates of the caribbean for the 5th time. i just waited for dear jack sparrow to say his first line before i gave up.

THREE, i cooked dinner! and last time, i told lifern i couldnt even fry an egg. which is still true. but i didnt cook something stupid like maggie mee for dinner! i cooked...

DRUMROLL

creating suspense

shepherd's pie!! WOW! hahah and it tasted good! even my brother, who is usually against me, liked it! hahah maybe i'll be the next jamie oliver! hahahah

ooh okay

that's all for today!

see you next time on my blog!

oh on. i just osunded like a talk show host about to go off air. hahah

oh and how could i forget? i liked the weather today (: and looking forward to harry potter tomorrow! WHY??

SEE, i AM a changed person. hahahah

the holidays are really getting to me.

2005-11-18T21:43:00.000-08:00

oh i just thought of something! i must learn how to upload pics into my computer to make my blog more interesting! hahah okay, that's all folks.

2005-11-16T14:50:00.000-08:00

oh no. there's really nothing to do around here. the holidays are falling apart. i have nothing to look forward to! except my holiday, but actually i only look forward to its amusement parks like lotte world and riding on the plane! whee i love flying! hahah korea. man-made snow?

OH. and there's still watching oliver twist with quekie!

oh and i cut my hair. TRIMMED, rather. near my mom's office. some salon. and then i went to orchard and walked around myself. and saw a nice brown dress at esprit.

ohwells. the main question is, where has everyone gone! it seems everyone has disappeared. its funny. why does everyone seem to have somewhere to go, something to do, but why dont i?

the perfect holiday.

there's nothing to do,
no money to spend,
no one to spend it with,
only home to stay.
and there's nothing to do at home.
only things to do alone.

oh that was my new poem, composed in accident. called the perfect holiday. irony isnt it?

i thought holidays were going to be fun! i thought we had planned many outings!didnt we? but this is turning a nightmare. everyday, waking up to go for training, or otherwise, to do nothing. then there's no point in waking up, is there? should just sleep through the whole day.

and training is a chore.

i'm so tired, i'm so sick of the holidays. sitting in front of the computer, doing nothing. i want go out, have some fun. isnt that what the holidays are all about?

now im reduced to watching CSI. in fact, it starts just at 3 o'clock. and maybe i'll just grab some scottish shortbread to eat.

2005-11-15T20:54:00.000-08:00

whee! there's a lot of things i want to do, but they are yet undone!

im so bored. i want to go out. and watch movies at yujie's house! hahah yujie your house is like some gathering place for avid movie-goers. although the last time i watched that horror movie at your house i freaked out and couldnt sleep for 2 nights. although i only watched the day scenes. hahah (:

and i want to do my nyaa volunteering! at some animal place. with pohting!

and i havent gone shopping with money with quekie, shuli, clarisse, chaiping, yiling, renice, yujie! hahah i remember chaiping your classic line "The floor is wet." hahah that day you and clarisse wanted to go home but i wanted to go to orchard. but you also said "One day let's go shopping with real money!" hahah (:

andandand learn horseriding!

and watch lots of vcds and dvds!

practise my piano! my teacher told me to pull up my socks.

and go to escape with nytc and gang.

go on team outing!

update my wish list

GET A NEW BLOGSKIN. can one of you html whizs help me! i have no idea how to change blogskins! the only blog i know that's still in its original skin is renice's! hahah i think yiling you should help me!

and not forgetting to post tributes to nytc and gang! VERY IMPORTANT. shall get it done by this week!

oh and shall blog about today's training. it was terrible. i've come to dread training. and everyone's getting weaker, probably from overdoing physical training. there are so many people absent and all. sick, injured. and our stamina is going down although we do more physical training! What other explanation can there be? there are just some things you can never overdo.

and quantity does not necessarily mean quality!

anyway today i played singles! whee singles is fun! there are so many empty places to smash. except that i hit out five points in a row to the doubles line at the sides, out of a singles game that is eleven points. hahah its quite bad, really. and mr.wee who was watching had this wide grin on his face and he asked me if i knew i was playing singles or not in this joking sort of way. mr wee is nice! although training is dreadful. oh wells.

and dorlisa and ruiqi, for some reason, have decided to wear red FBT shorts! maybe yisan and i shall wear yellow FBT shorts! macdonalds colours! (: primary colours. meant to attract little kids! i remember being so fascinated with ronaldmacdonald sitting on the bench outside nearly every mac's outlet myself!

ooh and there's this fab mac's outlet that is huge, has a kid's party room and a pond full of terrapins! or you can just call them turtles, if you want to! hahah ATTENTION CLARISSE, your own kind! except that the water is green.

2005-11-13T22:52:00.000-08:00

i bought pirates of the caribbean yesterday! whee i'm happy! (: JACK SPARROW. and i watched finding neverland too. and i realised besides being an exceptional actor, he's also absolutely good-looking. CANT WAIT for the pirates sequel!

and i NEED A VACATION JOB. to kill time, and to make some extra pocket money! and of course, it'll be fun! both the job and the money, hahah

okay, later im going to trim my hair! with my mum! hahah and when is nytc next going out? we should really go to escape, or something!

2005-11-09T11:55:00.000-08:00

just came back from badminton chalet yesterday at aloha changi. that place is so REMOTE. and scary. we even slept with the lights on. and there are an excessive number of toilets. not to mention it is near many army camps and the old changi hospital, which the taxi driver kept on saying was haunted.

and its like just a few villas and nothing else. no facilities like safra or aranda. so i only stayed one night. and renee joined us yesterday. and we went to east coast to cycle, bowl and have dinner. and it was the best cycling trip i eer had! the weather was so nice, because we went in the evening. and we cycled on the grass, on the beach. so relaxing!! hahah (: i didnt feel like returning the bike. maybe i've experienced the joy of cycling!

ooh and the first night we watched charlie and the chocolate factory and Anacondas, which was boring. i mean anacondas. hahah the day i say charlie and the chocolate factory is boring is the day i die.

oh and the second night the toilets were quite scary so everyone crowded into one room outside the toilet to accompany those who were bathing. jo was so brave!! she closed the room door; the toilet was in the room and bathed BY HERSELF. she's so brave!! hahah but when i came on the first night, jo and xinyi were watching tv and jo was freaked out because i suddenly appeared at he window. and then me and renee went to cook marshmallows over the gas stove. and renee's marshmellow caught fire. hahahah

oh and ashleen prayed for the house on the first night. and dorlisa brought her church songs. and ruiqi practically JUMPED because she was about to carry something and a lizard ran out from behind it. the place is crawling with ants! you just have to leave a cup of orange squash on the table, go out and when you com back, there is a line of ants on the floor. yisan didnt stay overnight cos her mum was afraid the chalet was haunted and too ulu/

okay this year's chalet ws so screwed. i want a re-chalet somewhere miles better. BOO

2005-11-09T11:30:00.000-08:00

You Are 60% Boyish and 40% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.

Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.

You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.

You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

2005-11-05T09:24:00.000-08:00

okay.

2005-11-02T13:23:00.000-08:00

i saw this nice black dress at topshop yesterday. and it fit me! but if i wear it i look like im going clubbing. hahahah. never mind. shall buy it when i have money, which is not now. hahah and buy(unintentional pun)then it will probably be gone.

which is a longer way of saying, probably not. ohwells. im used to it anyway.

ooh and just now i saw this quite amusing clarisse (you see your name here! so you should know what to do:) flash video on zhuoxuan's blog. it showed clarisse's amazing transformation for the better hahahah

and im going for some stupid flu vaccination later. im looking forward to it because after that, i can go walk around myself before going to meet nytc and gang for choral night. except that im terrified of needles. and just when i thought i could look forward to lavishing some tender loving care on my plants today! ah never mind. at least i can go make myself happy. maybe my mom will be nice and give me some money to buy stuff. hahah

2005-11-01T22:33:00.000-08:00

royal purple is a nice colour.

2005-10-30T21:09:00.000-08:00

went to church today, as usual. and just went for the worship with ruth and yongxian. and then i went for lunch. ooh and my aunt agreed to go bring me pierce my ears! hahah ruiqi ALREADY has pierced ears. she did it today! can you believe it? RUIQI'S GOT PERICED EARS!! all because of the beautiful earrings we saw yesterday, when we went with yisan to ps cos she wanted to buy her dang-oh VCD. hahah

anyway, back to today. i bumped into guess who? our dear clarisse look when i was walking back from OG orchardpoint. hahah she was with her mom and siblings, i think. though she was walking ahead of them. and she didnt see me until i called her. hahah she looked really blur. and the most amazing thing is, i was just thinking of calling her to ask who's going to choral night when she suddenly appeared! ohman. and clarisse once said that when she told her seniors about me on msn, i would suddenly call her.

oh man clarisse, that's really freaky. hahahah

oh and i watched the Legend of Zorro! it as quite cool! more swashbuckling fun! MY kind of movie. hahah like pirates! Catherine Zeta-jones is really gorgeous. hahah i never realised how pretty she was. oh and the little boy was cute! and the horse was so smart! and Zorro himself was quite charming. hahah and the cool thing is, they even went as far as to have totally cool Mexican accents! whee its a nice movie (THAT RHYMED) and its has its comic moments too. hhahah although one seriously bad thing is, the bad guy, count something, i forgot his name, looked eerily familiar. oh gosh. he looks a bit like johnny depp! in the movie finding neverland, where he looked not too good. okay only the bad guy in zorro looks positively evil. but johnny depp doesnt. hahah

oh still deciding whether to go to choral night tomorrow!

2005-10-26T11:16:00.000-07:00

yesterday went shopping with zhuoxuan! and i got my wallet! (: THANK YOU nytc & gang for my birthday present!

we went to the Quiksilver shop at Paragon. oooh and my wallet is nice! its pinkpink and PINK. and its a Roxy wallet. so i can cancel that on my wish list. hahah whee! im happy.

and zhuoxuan got a pair of flipflops. they were like striped, rainbow-coloured roxy slippers. and i convinced her not to get the gothic pink and black one. hahah zhuoxuan, please have something colourful for a change!

and beore that we went to far east. and i tried on2 skirts at hula and co. but they were not that nice. and zhuoxuan tried some shirts too. but we didnt buy anything there.

okay shall stop now. bye!

2005-10-25T22:21:00.000-07:00

whee. i've decided that i should add painting to my hobby list. no, lifern, not PAINTING butter onto sausages at barbecues but watercolour painting. its fun! i painted a not bad picture yesterday! its supposed to be a peaceful village. (:

i've totally decided to be more artistic so that i can be a designer for Dior. hahah and maybe if im in a good mood i shall paint more! although i may be a troubled person because my paintings always appear dark and foreboding. hahahah. hey! but i actually taught myself how to paint cloudy and brighter skies. and i painted a hidden mickey into that painting. AND NO ONE IN MY FAMILY COULD SPOT IT. you know like on disney channel, they ask you to spot the hidden mickey? hahah not even my supposedly super alert dad could spot it. and he was the one who keeps saying action movies are totally unrealistic because cars NEVER explode. and if you hold a gun to a person's head and pull the trigger you'll blow his brains out. like quekie says. literally. and the best thing is, he still keeps watching them. and he claims "A Beautiful Mind" is too depressing.

okay. hey, a superb idea just popped into my head! for this year's nytc &gang shoutout, i shall make 4-line poems for everyone! (:

2005-10-23T21:03:00.000-07:00

went shopping with vivian today! we walked the entire orchard road except centrepoint. hahah and we bought quite a lot of things.

we went to zara at taka and i bought this purple long-sleeved shirt, and vivian bought a black shirt for her drama night. im surprised the shirt fit me. hahah the last time i went to try it, it didnt! hahah so funny. dont know why.

oh and then we went into Guess. and yesterday i actually tried a guess dress (hey, it rhymes! hahah). its bright turqouise and i think it is crocheted with beads. its beautiful! but its really expensive. like $279? hahah.

ooh and then we went to paragon i think. cant really remember.yeah and we were at the topshop at metro. but didnt buy anything there!

then we went to far east. and i saw this nice green gypsy skirt which was really cheap and which i thouht i would come back for! but i thought i'd better think about it.

next we went to liat towers! to zara again. wow! the zara there is huge! and we went to esprit too! it was having a sale. so i bought a pink handbag! its so cute! (: i like it a lot. and vivian bought the same one too! hahah whee(: it was really a good buy!

and we went to borders and vivian bought ice chocolate. and we went inside borders to look at the dvds. and i realised the amytiville horror which i watched with nytc and gang was M18. erm okay. hahah but seriously there werent any parts i thought were censor-worthy. except i remember penny saying "Why so sleazy one?" hahahah oh and we found this funny johnny depp film which was like maybe in the 1970s. he looked so much like elvis in his younger days! ahahah. oh and we ofund Down With Love too! Ewan McGregor's hot! and his accent and name are cool too. hahah i love Ewan mcGregor! although i love Johnny Depp too! yay vivian's lending me down with love! and then we sat down at the coffee bean cos vivian still hadnt finished her ice chocolate. and we were talking about female fans of different age groups and their male actor idols. hahah and we concluded that,

if you're teenage/20s/30s, you'll probably like
1) Orlando Bloom
2) Brad Pitt
3) Johnny Depp
4) Ewan McGregor

if you're middle-aged,
1) BAE YONG JOON hahahaah
2) George Clooney
3) Richard Gere

if you're older than that, probably
1) Donald Trump

okay that was totally warped. but i think the bae yong joon part is really ccurate! hahah. im turning him into some laughingstock.

and then we bumped into our cell group mates, ruth, yongxian, glenn, miles, john, etcetc. near far east. they had earlier gone to watch flight plan! and they said its nice. but i didnt really want to watch it cos i hate jodie foster. hahah

and vivian wanted to look at adidas jackets and they wanted to go to far east so we went on without them. then we took a bus to the heeren and walked around. hahah vivian was so fascinated with the penguin bags, the ones me and zhuoxuan saw when we were there.

but the heeren was boring so we walked back to far east. and i bought my gypsy skirt. and vivian was so nice and decided to pay a bit for me. as my birthday present. hahah THANK YOU VIVIAN. (:

after a long day, we decided to go home. because our feet were totally aching. we walked orchard road maybe 1.5 times. oh yay! but im happy! cos i got to buy some stuff ! (:

AND QUEKIE! saving the best for last...

About Quekie

Quekie is very funny,
Although she always attempts to kill me.
Blowing my brains out with her trusty gun,
Thinking it is really fun!

wow. to think it could pen that self-deprecating rhyme. it glamourises quekie. that is, until the last line. hahah now go analyse the poem! hahah

1) What is the poet's attitude towards QUEKIE? hahah okay this has become quite a sadistic post! shall stop now! byee!

2005-10-21T22:38:00.000-07:00

today was a not-so-good day. because had training! and my hamstring hurt very bad. and so did my arm. after smashing or lobbing, my arm will be in pain. BOO.

attempted to watch a beautiful mind in class today! but too bad the projector was down. its a very nice movie! whee i like the type of movie that actually makes you FEEL something. because its really satisfying and makes you feel for the characters and that you've watched a really superb movie! like dont you feel really sad for john nash? though pirates, oh well, jack sparrow was just too cute. hahah

yay and im going to say that i love mrs. heng! because she's so sincere! and she may be naggy and all but she really tries to help. and she's funny too, though quite unintentionally.

okay shall stop blogging now! nothing really much to say. (:

OH. except that im going to miss 210 and nytc very much next year.

2005-10-20T17:47:00.000-07:00

hahaha penny attempted to help clarisse to beat me at speed today, but they failed. hahahah i tell you, my reaction time is deceptively slow. and im actually not bad at speed! hahah

clarisse, im selling to you "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Playing Speed and Other Card Games" on ebay at half-price. hahah maybe you might want to consider getting it so you wont lose at speed to me like i lose to you at minesweeper! hahah (:

and quekie! let's conspire in card games so we can drain the casinos! hahah. and maybe penny can try too.

okay reflections on EOYs. i think i did better than i expected. so i might as well say im happy with my results. if not, the list on how to kill me will get longer. which isnt exactly very flattering.

and im really frustrated. my mom has some really restrictive ideas about how much i should spend on shopping. maybe she thinks it'll teach me to be some thrifty angel, but its driving me crazy; can you for once, let me have the rare chance to enjoy myself and buy what i want? and because of this, i vowed that when i grow up, i will be rich enough to buy myself anything i want to make up for my deprived shopping life. underhand means? not likely. hahah (to think i can still laugh) just let me enjoy myself, will you? before i go rob a bank. (this is just a figure-of-speech, so please dont misunderstand it for anything else.)

maybe you might think worrying about reviving my wardrobe sounds trivial, but imagine if someone keeps tightening a chain on you every time you want to buy something. believe me, it is very frustrating. and going to school almost six days a week wearing a uniform and the weekend is the only time oyu can ever look forward to to dress up and soak up the sun! i know my mom has good intentions, but can she learn to let go when it comes to shopping! and its funny in the sense that she only controls my shopping. i'd rather she be unreasonable about my grades. okay i'd better stop ranting lest you think i'm crazy.

im sorry for about flaring-up. because i usually sound cheery. (:

ohwell, after my eoys, SO MUCH FOR MY HAPPY ENDING. because everything i ever hope for never seems to come true. and everything i have ever been looking forward to always has to blow.

2005-10-19T22:29:00.000-07:00

whee! i bought a new top! from projectshopbloodbros. its green! hahah i went shopping at taka and wisma alone today. but it was surprisingly fun! i am NOT KIDDING! (:call it retail therapy!

i went into topshop and saw this nice top which i will go back for tomorrow. maybe. hahah and at zara i saw TWO nice tops but they didnt fit. and i nearly wanted to try this dress but i thought maybe the salesgirl would think i was mad cos i was in school uniform! and i tried a gypsy skirt! 90 bucks but very nice! very posh. hahah. which was not bad, maybe i'll get one next time! and CHAIPING AND CLARISSE, my two dear friends, didnt want to come today because apparently, the floor was wet. ERM. hahah nevermind

okay got to go now! byee!

maybe i'll go shopping myself everyday! its something new, at least.

2005-10-18T20:16:00.000-07:00

i think that day we went to east coast park, i got a really bad case of sunburn. because my skin is PEELING. at the shoulders. yuck. shall not go into details as i got a serious shock myself and now i am having goosebumps! there are lighter and tanned spots on my shoulders. the tanned spots are where the skin hasnt peeled off! so i look like i have a disease. okay, thats really bad and maybe training today made it worse.

and there are fifteen ways to kill me? seems like someone is bent on it. hahah and quekie's way is rated the method of the day!

"blow her brains' out!" hahah and clarisse's/renice's way is rather, erm, self-centred. shall decline to elaborate. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE WRITTEN.

boo today was boring. oh wells.

2005-10-15T11:23:00.000-07:00

went to eileen's house yesterday for the movie marathon and bbq. thank you eileen! hahah watched princess bride and sisterhood of the travelling pants. the princess bride was REALLY funny. hahah R.O.U.S.s rodents of unusual size?! hahah

ohh and the food was super nice! im addicted to sausages! and i decided the only cooking i can ever do at bbqs is paint butter. hahah

oh didnt go to church today. that was really bad. my mum overslept and so did i. so now im stuck at home! maybe i'll go out later, in the afternoon. hey this paragraph has some sort of rhythm to it, if you read it aloud. hahah(:

2005-10-12T14:13:00.000-07:00

went cycling yesterday at east coast park. and cycled for like 2 hours. and now i am really sunburnt. my shoulders hurt like crazy when i woke up this morning because i keep sleeping on my side and the sunburn made it worse. hahah

and clarisse has this totally funny way of cycling. she's so cute! hahah and chaiping even took a flatteringly cute photo of clarisse cycling, with clarisse beaming proudly away. hahah and she kept lagging behind apprently because her legs are too short. oh clarrise you never fail to make me laugh.

and me, zhuoxuan, chaiping yujie cycled further so we were at bedok jetty and took many stupid photos. hahaha and chaiping claimed she wasted a lot of photos on me! how could you! and arent you proud im blogging about you now! hahah

and then we helped this couple take a picture and they helped us too! renice and clarisse later caught up with us and we cycled all the way to safra resort.

SHULI learned how to ride a bicycle yesterday! wow so cool. i remember i took weeks to learn it when i was in p3. hahah

looking forward to monday! going orchard with chaiping, maybe quekie and whoever ants to come along! hahah and zhuoxuan you can come along again and i can prove to you that i can actually bring money and BUY SOMETHING, dissolving your myth that i am thrifty. (: although you can stop imagining that i am stalking you.

oh, and you guys forgot my birthday present. (: a happy smile for this gentle reminder. hahahah

2005-10-11T20:38:00.000-07:00

went shopping with zhuoxuan today! hahah and supposedly im thrifty cos i didnt buy anything, except this spinelli mocha, which was super nice but a bit of a rip-off. okay anyway we walked all the way from the heeren to like wheelock place, and went into MANY roxy, billabong and ripcurl shops. hahah and zhuoxuan kept telling me to stop stalking her. but i still cant find a nice wallet!

and yay good tomorrow we're gonna watch corpse bride! and go cycling! and i still cant believe the exams are really, completely over. AND WE GOT IN FOR CHORAL NIGHT! FOR ENGLISH! YAYY!

oh and saw yongxian and sarah liu at the heeren today, and hu zhe too! hahah oh and miles and john? from my church

oh and HEIYI. happy belated birthday!!

hahah and when i went home i learnt fantasie impromptu by chopin (3 quarters of the first page)! hahah and shall play it for my teacher tomorrow. see what she says! (:

2005-09-12T20:07:00.000-07:00

(: hello liwen ! i think yiling is nice :D

yo hamham! this is chaiping you are so ham that you look like a ham and you'll marry a ham. okay so since you're my grandmother and you're a ham so I'm a ham too? NO LAH special case for me :D
ham popo hahahahahahah.

hahah the first post was obviously made by yiling herself. HAHAHH STUPID YILING.

and CLARISSE! MY IDOL. ahh. thought of an idea. you shall gang up with me against quekie, penny and their BANGBANG CLUB. BANGBANGBANG.

and i better go change my picture to something cooler, like a pirate ship! hahah not that a dog isnt cool, its just that its been there for too long.

okay hello everyone this is zhuoxuan liwen has t go now k bye [:

2005-09-08T22:23:00.000-07:00

thought of a new study plan!

shall focus on one topic per subject per day and reinforce through doing worksheets! on odd days i shall study science and history while on even days, i shall study math and geography. hopefully, this plan will make me like studying! (:

AND from now on, will stop talking/blogging about johnny depp, pirates of the caribbean, captain jack sparrow etc. he shall wait till the end of the exams and i shall happily go out and buy the dvd and then i can watch it as many times as i like to break my shrek record of 7 times. although i tried it with a beautiful mind, it totally didnt work cos unlike pirates, it isnt the sort of fun show you can watch over and over again. it's too depressing. hahah and captain jack sparrow's much funnier and cuter. OOPs. im not even supposed to blog about jack sparrow. hahah

and dear clarisse (you see your name here so SMILE!) and by the way i dont have your picture, hahah, i'd like to tell you that you are my darling clarisse! AWWW SO SWEET RIGHT? are tears cascading down your cheeks like sparkling, shimmering diamonds now? hahah and how come you have so many suitors fighting over you on your tagboard?

and me and quekie are actually assassins hired to kill each other. but BANGBANG! my gun still doesnt seem to work. HAHAH (:

oh and just found out the saddest thing. the release of the sequel to pirates of the caribbean's on july 7, next year. and that's in the US! so i guess the next National day holiday, i shall be making multiple trips to the cinema to watch it over and over again! if i havent gotten sick of CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW yet!
OKAY. THAT SHALL BE THE VERY LAST TIME IM BLOGGING TILL THE EOYS. see you after the exams!

for 10october is what it really is, its FREEDOM. TO FREEDOM. (captain jack sparrow: to the black pearl!) okay that was the last time!

2005-09-06T22:15:00.000-07:00

im really tired. maybe i've been waking up too early in the morning to revise.
im so tired.

and my brother's been trying to imitate jack sparrow. looks like im not the only one, eh? hahah and you can say there's some similarity. SOME.

but CAPTAIN jack sparrow is way cooler. and he's very funny. hahah i can say so many lines from the movie. and i still think he's hot. but johnny depp isnt. he's just cool cos he can act so well! (: his eyeliner-lined eyes are cool! and he wears one blue huge earring! when i pierce my ears i shall get the same kind of earrings too! maybe i'll wear ONE like him! hahahah im going mad.

2005-09-05T23:09:00.000-07:00

2005-09-01T21:21:00.000-07:00

I WANNA BE A PIRATE WHEN I GROW UP. DADDY, I WANT A PIRATE SHIP. hahahaha

i love Pirates of the Carribean! its such a cool movie! and johnny depp acted really really well! no wonder he got an oscar nomination for his role in pirates. i love johnny depp! hahah and he looks so hot as a pirate he should be one for the rest of his life. (:
CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW. MYIDOL.

2005-08-28T20:36:00.000-07:00

BANGBANG (DEDICATED TO QUEKIE)
church was fun today! wahaha i was crossing the road with ruth and yongs when this little boy in heelies zigzagged across and nearly knocked me down. WOW. heelies are A HAZARD. hahaah and theon has funky specs. maybe specs are the in-thing after all? hahah

okay, and the rest of the day was normal. added some more notes to my WILLYWONKA SONG.

and yesterday i bumped into heiyi and hweiming at sunte city! YOU MADE MY DAY! because my family and I just had a horrible dinner, spoiled by poor service. we were full so we ordered less. and the stupid waitress kept repeating our order so loudly and asked us FOUR times whether we wanted to order more. i dont care. i shall defame her restaurant, right at THIS MINUTE. hahaah. it was the house of sundanese food. the next time, i should tell her, "i just had a ten course dinner at ritz-carlton hotel so you better SHUT UP." i cant believe it. im never, ever going to eat there ever again, however much i like Indonesian food. BANGBANG. hahah

okay better go bathe now! guten naucht. hahah i just decided to speak German for a change.

2005-08-26T14:42:00.000-07:00

wow. havent blogged in a long time! and elaine, GET WELL SOON.
and to quekie, BANGBANGBANG. have you ever wondered why you still keep shooting at me everyday yet i dont die? maybe you can try giving up (:
and to lifern, yeehah! we're the ~~ANTI~~ (AHERM, sorry PRO -CLARISSE GANG) and our motto is WE LOVE CLARISSE! and to clarisse, THAT was the fantastic explanation! we decided to form a clarisse fan club after our anti-clarisse gang plan was foiled by, erm, clarisse herself. hahah and to renice, YAY i love poems! hahah especially "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori"!

ooh. and that day i heard this person play beethoven's Rage Over a Lost Penny on the radio! and i felt so inspired so im going to try to play it like him! by the way, thought up a few career choices:
1) wildlife/domestic vet (i have to go to Europe, Australia or New Zealand for this) AND invent a vaccine/cure for mad cow disease and win the nobel prize
2) concert pianist (LIKE REAL. this one comes with high expectations! i have to be attached to some good symphony so that i can play regularly at concerts, but im DELUDING MYSELF and that's that.)
3) play first violin in a good symphony, or be a conductor (HAHAH. my sense of timing is disgusting. and i cant even play the violin! hahah)
4) go into business (okay, not bad. my idols shall be bill gates and donald trump)
5) work in some finance company (GOOD. can earn lots of $$$)
6)fashion designer (i shall count chanel and Dior as some of my idols) hahah

okay, after much delibration, i've decided anything to do with music is remotely possible, going into business/fashion design is risky, being a vet is ideal though i must have super good results at A levels to study any kind of medicine, and so i should go to finance? hahah never mind. i'll stick to my piano and aspire to be a vet. but the top criteria for MY job is that i do something i like and become rich and successful doing it. YAYY!

2005-08-19T22:46:00.000-07:00

today was cross-country! after school had been dismissed at 12.15, nytc+me and lifern went to J8 for lunch. and i really ate a lot. hahah i ate this mini-wok thing and elaine ate fried rice. and i was super jealous cos my mini-wok was not nice and Elaine's fried rice was delicious. and then i was super full so me and elaine walked around. hahah went to esprit, royal sporting house and mini toons, where we bought sweets. then we ate everything and gave the gummy bears to them when we got back to the food court! and yiling and clarisse were snatching the gummy bears although there were only 4 left. and i was so scared i couldnt run cos i felt so full!

so the competitors: elaine, renice and me and lifern went back to macritchie in a cab cos we had to report! and then i became a dog-magnet and patted Mr. Tan's golden retriever, and beagle cross, Bingo and snoopy and Mark Shone's cocker spaniel! OOH I LOVE DOGS! hahah and i discovered nearly all my badminton juniors are in the competive run. and i asked them to run faster. hahah

and now to the exciting part! THE RUN. okay i was right at the front so it was energy saved! and i ran with josephine, my badminton friend and she ran so fast and said it was less tiring than the physical training! HELLO. I NEARLY DIED. HAHAH and i dont die at PT. hahah and i walked a few times, at the steep slope and the highway. and they gave us some isotonic drink and i felt so energised instantly! but it looked really weird, some orange colour thingy and i stopped to ask them what it was! so i was dying and then i saw mark shone running his dog and i started smiling because ONE, i love dogs and TWO, i thought i was near the finish line. AND THE DOG DECEIVED ME AGAIN. and i ran a bit more and there was chua simin cheering for me! THANKYOU CHUA SIMIN and mr. mackintosh wearing this weird red cap. hahah dont know if he felt proud that badminton had quite a lot of people in the top 20! anyway, i was ready to die at the end and felt like puking in the last 50m and at the finishing line, THREE people tried to cut into the you know, queue line and overtake me. i was so scared i quickly sprinted and cut in front of them but cindrey managed to overtake me! so i got 6th and she got 5th. and jo, whom i sort of abandoned at the highway, sorry! (: anyway she said i could go firstgot 10th position!

OH I FEEL SO PROUD OF NYBT! BEEHIANG WAS 2ND, EEYANG WAS 3RD, MINGMING WAS 7TH AND I HTINK LILI WAS 14TH! AND SEC 2 BOTH ME AND JO, THE ONLY SEC 2S COMPETING, WERE IN TOP 10 AND WE HAD 3 SENIORS IN THE TOP 20! WELL DONE NYBT! MR.WEE'LL BE SO PROUD!

and i didnt fell like puking anymore after the run but a teeny bit giddy. and terrible and bloated cos i drank 1 cup of milo, 1 bottle of water and 1 can of ice lemon tea. and just really weird BUT I WAS SO HAPPY cos this year's trophies are very nice! better than last year's hollow ones. and before the run i saw the nice table stacked with trophies and the STAGE for prize-giving and i told myself i MUST stand on that stage and have one of those trophies because they're so nice!

and LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CHEERED FOR ME! THANK YOU!

AND CLARISSE. SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU, BUT I SERIOUSLY WASNT THINKING OF YOU DURING THE RUN. I WAS THINKING OF TROPHIES AND WATER. IM SORRY. HAHAHAH btw, just to comfort you after dealing that fatal blow, i think your shortie soccer is kind of cute! hahahah.

2005-08-18T16:47:00.000-07:00

OHMAN LIFERN YOU'RE RIGHT. MY TAGBOARD IS DEAD!!

okay great. im really worried for end-of-years. and tomorrow is cross-country. let's hope it rains. im not mentally prepared to run! anyway, i like rain cos it gives you that nice cosy feeling. hahah

ohno. im really worried for end-of-years. im SAD. i think my grades have fallen. but i study normally, so i really dont understand what's happening. maybe term 3's work is harder? like physics for science, all my weak points. maths, etc.and i still have no idea whether to take triple science. or to take an additional subject music.

i really have no idea. but i must give the exams my best shot because i want to have a nice, guilt-free holiday. and my substantializing wardrobe scheme's in mild danger of crumbling because my discipline caved in today. i accidentally bough durian ice-cream, threw it away and wasted $1. you know, I HATE DURIAN. i'd rather starve than eat that thorny green mess. sorry all durian-lovers! hahah and i only pathetically saved 65 cents today.

OKAY. better gear up well for the exams and peak AT THE RIGHT TIME. (:

2005-08-15T20:50:00.000-07:00

WENT FOR CIP YESTERDAY. at the country rock and roll festival at the padang! the latin dancesport junior and juvenile champions were amazing!the eleven-year-old dance couple was so cute!!they can dance so well! OHMY.

2005-08-08T18:59:00.000-07:00

today had national day celebration at school. it was totally boring so shall decline to elaborate. hahah
and after that had training! but the basket ballers wanted to use the hall at 12.30 so everyone was already preparing to die for physical training when mr.wee said jinny suggested we go for lunch since delphine was hungry! hahah and in the end mr. wee was so nice and decided to call of training and treat us to mac's at serene centre! THANKYOU mr .wee!
but i couldnt go cos need to meet quek and co. for our movie. hahha

so changed and went across the bridge to meet them! and so we went to orchard cineleisure! but unfortunately charlie and the chocolate factory was sold out and there was only the 5pm show, which was too late. so we walked all the way to Lido. and charile and the chocolate factory was sold out AGAIN so we watched BEWITCHED! hahah the sneak preview! and it was very funny!

by the way, SPOILER ALERT.if you plan to watch the movie and dont want your experience spoiled, read with your eyes closed. LITERALLY. hahaha

okay, its about Isabelle Bigelow (Nicole Kidman) who was a witch and was chosen to act in a tv series called "bewitched".so she fell in love with the lead actor, Jack Wyatt, but discovered he tricked her since she was actually just someone to stand beside him as he read out his lines. so she was very angry and yelled at him, and she quit the job. but he said sorry so they got back together again? and then she told him she was a witch. he didnt believe at first, but afterwards he got scared and chased her away. but they discovered they were still very much in love and some character from Bewitched appeared to help Jack reconcile with Isabelle, as she was leaving for home and would not be back in a 100 years. so he stopped her and they lived happily ever after.

hahhaah the funniest scene was the part where three kids dressed as witches were trick-or-treating during halloween, at Jack's house and he suddenly started crying because they reminded him of Isabelle, whom he had broken up with. then the kids ran to wards their mum, screaming "Mummy! We got no candy!" hahhaha
and the scenes in which Isabelle cast a spell on Jack to make him obssessed with her and another one in which the spell caused him to act wrongly during the shoots, were funny too!

and then i saw a movie poster for amadeus, hahah peter shaffer's drama on Mozart's life. haha so after the movie we went home! and i wanted to go to zara but everyone wanted to go home so i decided against it.

and at my house bus-stop as i was getting down the us an old man with his grandchildren, he knocked my waterbottle out of my hands and under the BUS! so i was like telling him never mind, and the bus RAN OVER MY BOTTLE and it EXPLODED. hahhahaha just kidding. it just got crushed, and there was this sound. hahha TIME TO GET A NEW ONE.

and tomorrow going with mom and bro to watch charlie and the chocolate factory! YAYY better book in advance! and my mum wants to take me to far east to look for stuff. OKAY hahah shall try to drag her to zara, esprit and topshop, which is having a 40% discount because of national day, if my eyes werent playing tricks on me.

2005-08-07T21:19:00.000-07:00

went to church today and couldnt find ruth and co.(: hahah so went to the sanctuary with my parents. and during the greetings part you know when you have to stand up and shake hands with the people around you, i shook james lye's hand? hahah

actually i didnt even know who he was, i merely glanced at his face. and then my mum told me he was james lye. wahahaah. like who cares. so many people go to wesley church! even my primary school's principal went there, and some of the teachers.

okay today was a boring day. so nothing much. hahaha
and i feel like laughing even more now cos i was telling my mum in the car just now that someone in my primary school once asked me, in music lesson, "Are we doing the project on CHOPPER?" HAHAHAHAHA. guess which composer she was referring to? CHOPIN. hahaah so cute!

2005-08-05T22:20:00.000-07:00

GUESS.ooh. i love weekends!

2005-08-04T20:31:00.000-07:00

renee even asked me if i cut my hair myself!! okay its that bad. next time i shall go to zhuoxuan's hairdresser. to rectify the error some dear hairdresser committed. and she looked like she was so satisfied with what she had done. THANK YOU for destroying my hair. THANK YOU VERYVERY MUCH. and i know you'll love it as much as i love my hair if i go to another hairdresser. (:
and I LOVE MY NEW RACKET! its orange and silver and its ashaway! hahahah mr. wee was so funny! he tried to sa jiao and said i didnt pay him when i did! HAAHAHA (:

HAHAHAHAHHA MY NEW UPRIGHT GRAND! and my old piano is still in the house cos my auntie hasnt collected it yet. hahahah so i'll have TWO pianos for a while. and i thought want to get some scores for two pianos for my brother and me to play, sort of like a duet, but i dont think we can learn the songs so fast! hahah

MY PIANO!! the cover looks a bit sick though. i dont think its pretty anymore. hahaah. and i shall learn rhapsody in blue, all 31 pages of it. hahaha and george gershwin's first prelude (by the way, he wrote rhapsody in blue too), debussy's golliwog cake-walk and second arabesque and chopin's nocturne in E!

ERGH. oh great. now i have missed the dances at the FOA concert. i will not make this silly mistake again. EVER.

2005-07-12T20:46:00.000-07:00

GOT MY CHARLES AND KEITH FLATS TODAY!
they're white, and they look sweet! hahahaha and my mum even suggested that i buy sandals with a bit of heels? but i told her i cant possibly balance. and you cant run for the bus :) so i bought flats!

and BOOO. zara had this mega-sale and everyone just went crazy and wiped out everything that i wanted! my zara long-sleeved shirt is gone? and all that was left of the skirt i wanted was a horrible red colour. YUCK. and so i tried this white laced one and denim one. but the denim one was 40 bucks! and there wasnt my size. and the lace one well, didnt really feel like buying it. BOOO i'm SAD.

and happy too. cos i got my sandals! and i realised that i have a seriously numerally challenged wardrobe? I'm SAD. but HAPPY. hahahah its not funny!

2005-07-08T22:59:00.000-07:00

mulan was, well, disappointing. wasted $5 on the show and another $5, as yiling said, in aircon fees. and it cost me my training time and dinner expenses as well. WAHAHAH YILING. if aircon charges are $5 in 45 mins, fees for a month are going to cost more tha a bomb!

and as to my birthday, no comment. OHWELL.

2005-07-06T17:43:00.000-07:00

ZHUOXUAN GAVE ME A BIRTHDAY EYE TODAY! HAHAHAAHAH THANK YOU ZHUOXUAN! :)

looking forward to my birthday day, my birthday dinner, my birthday play? (mulan), my birthday presents and my birthday shopping! yay! :) from tomorrow onwards, everyday leading up to my birthday will be BIRTHDAY DAYS! HAHAHAHAAHAH. YAYY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

hahahaah

2005-07-06T17:42:00.000-07:00

today i saw a dead cat lying near the edge of the pavement near the road at the bus-stop at school. i cant believe it! the least you can do if you knock down an animal is to call the emergency animal ambulance! dont ever move the animal cos it might have broken bones and moving it will make the injuries worse. and if you touch an injured animal, you might get bitten.

an animal's life is a life too. its the least you can do. it's what you should do, if you respect animals. dont tell me if you hit a person, you're not going to call an ambulance? i've already seen 3 dead cats flung by the roadside killed by cars. hit-and-runs. if it were humans, the drivers would have gone to jail for years. and millions of animals get killed on roads around rural areas every year worldwide. are we that unworthy of protecting our planet's animals?

2005-07-05T21:03:00.000-07:00

YAY! I'M SO HAPPY!! THIS WEEKEND IS GREAT!!

FIRST ITS A SPECIAL DAY ON MONDAY, ANYBODY CAN GUESS? :)

AND THERE'S MULAN ON FRIDAY!

AND THERE'S SHOPPING FOR MY PRESENTS AND A VERYGOOD DINNER MY PARENTS ARE GOING TO TREAT ME TO SINCE ITS MY __________! GUESS! HAHAHHAH

OHMAN I'M SO HAPPYYY!! AND THANK YOU QUEKIE!

2005-07-03T23:42:00.000-07:00

today woke up early to study maths and missed church as a result. i feel bad. :(

and i completed two chapters, save for some questions i have to do from the maths textbook for more exposure. hahahaah so tomorrow doing linear graphs and the two test papers. hope i get at least 30!

and went for a concert in the evening. PIANO FESTIVAL. IMAGES, IMPRESSIONS AND PICTURES. WOW. it was a knockout! BRILLIANT. except i didnt really like schubert and debussy. hahahahha. and i loved mozart sonata in D for two pianos, espana by emmanuel chabrier(spanish dance), and two extras which dennis lee and toh chee hung (pianists) played to entertain the audience because of the rapturous appluse! one was a spanish dance by dvorak and the other was also some kind of dance by Ganz. OOOOH they were lovely! and the balinese ceremonial music by colin mcphee and the mother goose suite by Ravel were not bad too! The music was quite impressionistic, as in, conveying a story, which you have to draw up in your mid as oyu listen to the music. BRILLIANT!!! I LOVED IT!! and i met clarisse, who decided to acknowledge me. she suddenly appeared while i was trying the german pianos in the shop downstairs during the interval. and my hands were freezing so i couldnt play properly!

anyway those pianos were super ex! CRAZY. but they were fantastic to play? and today i tried the yamaha concert grand. hahahahaha MAYBE SOMEDAY. my dad says we are getting either a kawai or yamaha. I LOVE KAWAII upright grands. they're good to play and have a good sound! ahahah

tomorrow have to return to studying! and OHNO. upset to say that PETER GADE has been knocked out of the semifinals of aviva open on friday.

2005-07-02T22:09:00.000-07:00

today went with chaiping, yujie and shuli to visit katong's peranakan shops for the LA presentation. and they were like one and a half hours late! so i went to parkway parade to do some solo unaccompanied window shopping and tried 1 skirt and 2 shirts at Mango, 7 flats at charles and keith! hahahha deciding what to get for my birthday can ask my mom! but unfortunately my auntie already bought something for me. hahahaha never mind! still got grandma! hahaahah :) better buy all the stuff before the sale ends!

and so we went to the peranakan shop, but before that we bought some nonya kueh! and at the shop the service was bad. cos yujie saw some sign at the staircase saying "please remove your footwear" and she thought we oculd go up. but the person fiercely said, "CANNOT GO UP!" HOW HORRIBLY RUDE! but the other salesperson at least told us politely. ERGH. and we went to other shops but one of them was closed and the other tried to sell us super expensive books?

so we went to my house! to eat the nonya kueh. and chaiping kept playing on my piano. hahahahah and she said it was nice. HAHAHAHAHAH in fact, we're going to change it! and after that we slacked around a bit at my house and then we decided to show the brochure to the lady at the shop and tried to think of ways to make them let us go up:
1) innocent kid method ("HUH?! CANNOT GO UP AH! BETTER TELL TEACHER CANNOT COME HERE ANYMORE! QUICKKKK SMS!")
2) sarcastic method: ("Excuse me, I am actually a representative of my school to scout around Singapore for Peranakan shops to organise my school's Peranakan experience tour, as this year we are doing emily of emerald hill for english. We planned to take the entire level on this tour to immerse themselves in Peranakan culture. Initially, we were extremely impressed with your shop, and planned to make it one of our tour stops. Unfortunately, your poor service has caused us to change our minds. I'n so sorry to inform you that the next year, the sec 1s are doing this book again, so they are going to study peranakan culture as well, and for the next ten years, this book will be used as an english literature book. So to speak, you have lost approximately lost ten years of business? Oh, I'm so sorry. I really am. [at this point, please try your best to smile sarcastically yet sympathetically].) hahahahaah

anyway all the shops didnt allow us to take pictures. maybe because they saw us holding a camera that they didnt let us go up. and so we went back in shuli's car to the shop to show them the brochure which says they have a second-story exhibit. BUT they still didnt let us go up. ohwells.

2005-06-30T22:19:00.000-07:00

went to the aviva open today! with dorlisa and sec ones. hahahahah GOT PETER GADES SIGNATURE. OOH. PETER GADES.

last time tiffany got christensen's shirt. and she was asking him but he said later, after he played. then this person asked him whether he could have his shirt, but he said "sorry, i already promised osmeone else my shirt". hahahahha and she overheard and she was lke OHH so SWEET. hhaahaah

2005-06-26T21:52:00.000-07:00

look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! :)

2005-06-26T21:35:00.000-07:00

hahahaah on saturday mr. tan took the same bus as me, when i took bus 67 with ruiqi. hahahhaah. i tried to say hi but he was in a total daze and didnt recognise me. and he fell asleep on the bus listening to his discman/walkman. hahahah bet it was filled with bach or mozart of beethoven or debussy, well you get the idea. hhahaha so i couldnt see where he dropped off cos i got off eariler though i was in the bus for a long long time. so he must have missed his stop. hahahah

and this weekend went to look at pianos. looks like my dad is quite serious about getting a new one! i love kawai pianos! they're nice to play, esp. the upright grand! but somehow i trust yamaha pianos more. and shall stop looking at the backs of pianos. they remind me of fireworks cos he used to like running behind my piano. and when i tried to get him out he would curl himself up and look sleepy. hahahahha DEAR FIREWORKS.

and next day is school! havent finished three sias. art, maths, history. we havent even started on history, for goodness sake. oh well. we'll finish it in one meeting tomorrow. so pissed that i still have so many sias to do. BAH. OHDEAR.

2005-06-24T17:59:00.000-07:00

baihui i heard about your dog. dont think too much about it yeah? i understand how it feels to lose a pet. cheer up! :)

2005-06-22T18:30:00.000-07:00

I've just discovered that Mr. Tan maybe super good at music. I was emailing him about our maths SIA and he replied. he was saying something about its very good to analyse Beethoven and Mozart's pieces to find the golden section/fibonacci numbers etc., but dont try debussy and bartok cos it can be a handful. and then cos i told him we're doing bach, mozart and beethoven, he said bach may look simple, but it may be complicated as you need to analyse his works in terms of MODES, not HARMONY. WHOA. WHOA. he knows what's HARMONY. and what are MODES? no idea? his theory must be super good lah!

and he said he could lend us the CDs when we need it. WHOA. i dont even have that kind of CDs at home. that means he must like classical music. and clarisse says he has nice fingers. YEAH. pianist fingers. i'm getting more curious by the minute. maybe we should ask him if he plays the piano. hahhaha

sometimes i wish it were mr. ngiow that we can fool him completely though we cant get CDs from him. hahahaah if we dont explain properly, there's no way to fool him. if it were mr. ngiow, there may be a good chance. but Mr. Tan? NAHH. NO WAY. NOTE: mr. tan may be nice and unwittingly funny, but beware of his great music ability! hhahaahahah that's the quote for the day!

and SEABISCUIT totally rocks!
"you don't throw a whole life away just because it's banged up a little." OOOH. i love SEABISCUIT!

because they gave the the little horse a chance; he who was broken in spirit, abused, beaten up, his confidence shattered, and told he was too SMALL. he was only fifteen hands tall, but he beat a huge horse (war admiral) 18 hands tall with a fine bloodline and won many championships in the santa anita handicap.

it is the story of how little Seabiscuit beat a broken leg, being told by the vet he'll never race again, and together with his jockey, johnny "red" pollard, who beat a shattered leg and being told by the doctor if he ever rode again, he might break his leg and not ever walk again, they beat all the odds and won the santa anita handicap, a super prestigious race. and the people who were "fixed" by the little horse's determination, the jockey, mr. howard, a millionaire who had lost everything, and tom smith, a cowboy whose world was vanishing, not to mention a whole country who was down and out due to the Great Depression. WOW! SEABISCUIT. its a true story!

2005-06-20T22:39:00.000-07:00

hahahha i'm back! didnt blog for days..too lazy hahaha
yesterday went to the zoo with penny, clarisse and quekie! my favourite exhibit was the african lions! ooh lions are beautiful! and i didnt like children's world except for this beautiful horse! he was a deep brown colour and had a curly mane! he was SO BEAUTIFUL! hahaha he was drop-dead gorgeous okay! oooh HORSES. and i liked the giraffes too! and the small mammals exhibits and the zebras and cheetahs! oooh!

but the animals at children's world were very poorly kept. like how can you keep farm animals on concrete floors instead of grassy pastures! that's so mean! and the sheep! their wool was white, but they were so dirty it was brown. it was just horrible ! how can they keep cows, goats and sheep in such horrible places! they should be in fields! ohman poor animals. and then in the ocelot enclosure, not in children's world, i saw one of the poor animals PACING. okay this is typical zoo behaviour of a terribly bored animal! and the polar bears! the enclosure was like super small, and how can they keep them on hard floors! and they should never ever force animals to perform tricks! maybe they were so stressed that they escaped (the serval at the night safari) ERGH. can't we treat our animals better?

okay then we were all dying of thirst. ahhahaha. and the strange thing was, everywhere we went, we saw animals shitting and peeing. the camel, the zebra, two cows, one after another, rhino, goats, etc. hahhaahahha. and then i wanted to buy the cute soft toy giraffe which was specially created for the zoo's zoolympix hahha. but couldnt find it. okay it was quite fun, except i didnt like how some of the animals were kept.

oooh. and i'm watching seabiscui, the movie based on a true story of a depression-era racehorse who was told he's too small to win races. but he never gives up and wins many races, restoring hope and inspiring those hit hard by the Great Depression. hahhahah! its a super nice movie!! and the horses are so BEAUTIFUL!havent finished watching it yet.

oh and i've resolved to play finger exercises and scales before practicing my pieces to build up finger agility and strength! hahahha and i want to learn beethoven's rage over a lost penny! its good for the fingers hahhaha

and i'm going to watch the piano fest concert! the mozart one. clarisse says listening to the sonata duet in D can boost your I.Q! hahahah

hahahah good my stupid rashes are healing. after trying to put mosquito repellent to protect myself from the mosquitos at ubin, i've got rashes cos i'm allergic to this particular brand of repellent. hahahah sounds stupid right. wahahha this has been a long post! bye!

2005-06-12T14:10:00.000-07:00

yesterday went with clarisse to the mac's near my house to do counting! and we asked the cashier for a balloon. hahahah so embarrassing. i got a blue one! and then we went to meet quekie and penny at city hall mrt station to walk to the esplanade to do our maths SIA. okay, it was not very productive. hahahah and we couldnt borrow the books we wanted! boo. i thought maybe i could get some books for my own playing as well as the books we needed for maths SIA. and the worst thing is, we ofund j.s. bach's the art of fugue but couldnt borrow it. we needed it for maths SIA! and its not everyday you can find it. BOOO. okay anyway we went to thai express to have lunch after tha. had tom yam soup and some squid dish. hahahha and we went to have ah pek's ice cream. mine was quite disgusting though. and then we crapped and thought of our skit storyline. ahahah and then we had to go home! so me and clarisse and penny took the NEL together. and stupid penny and clarisse squeezed into the train and left me waiting on the platform! and so i took another train and was reading my book when penny and clarisse came in, stood in front of me and kept laughing cos i didnt notice they were there. hahahahah. everyone on the train was staring at me. STUPID PENNY AND CLARISSE. and then i went to my auntie's house to have dinner. hahahah and i kept looking out for the brown stray dog that my cousin was saying comes to their house almost every day. sadly, it wasnt there today! so i went with my cousins to the park and i patted three dogs! hahahhaah yay. one looked like a cross between a border collie and a cocker spaniel, and the other two were labradors. one was a black labrador called max, and the other was a female chocolate labrador. haahahahha they're nice dogs! and then we had roti prata for dinner hahahha it was super nice!! and that was the end of a good day! :)

2005-06-10T23:02:00.000-07:00

mrs shirley tieh's son came and tried to kick a football. and then damien yam was walking down the stairs. and he said, "Hi nicholas!" in a superbly sissified voice and smiled a superbly sissified smile. AND THAT WAS IT. we laughed like mad. and mr.tan STARED at him, and okay this is the best part.
HIS MOUTH OPEN EVEN WIDER. he was practically gaping. and we just completely lost it. ahahahah
okay so we controlled for a while longer.
AND THEN
i saw that mr.tan had a frowning tweety bird keychain on his pencilcase. and so did quekie. so we started laughing silently again.and then the meeting ended. thank goodness it did.

things to do during holidays:
1) MAYBE try to persuade my mum to get contacts! ZHUOXUAN I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY. i cant stand drooping glasses
2) take full advantage of the great singapore sale! and use it to buy everything i WANT. (oops. sorry, need).

AND ONE MORE THING. I STILL CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS YONG LAN, WHICH ZZC WROTE IM MY REPORT BOOK.

OOH YES! AND FOR THE ENTIRE HOLIDAYS IM GOING TO WATCH A BEAUTIFUL MIND AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL IT BEATS MY RECORD OF WATCHING SHREK, WHICH IS 7 TIMES.
i still have it in my tape. ahahahahaha

2005-05-23T21:54:00.000-07:00

just came back from watching Revenge of the Sith! hahahha. it was quite a good show! but anakin skywalker looked terribly evil. ahahahah. and yoda speaks funnaye! Some yoda quotes:
"Use your feelings, Obi-wan, and find him, you will."
"To the Dark Side, young Skywalker has turned."
ahahahahah and obi-wan said "Oh dear!" like chenchi does! ahahah same cool British accent. the show was cool! now i know how anakin turned into darth vader. hahahahaha. you know last time i used to be crazy about star wars! hahah that was before the matrix came along.keanu reeves!! hhaahhahaahah. okay anyway back to star wars! i like R2-D2, yoda, chewbacca(from episode 4, 5, 6)obi-wan's okay, and i used to support darth vader(the machine) ahhahaha. darth vader's cool. but i only liked the small boy anakin(from the phantom menace) wahahaah darth the machine's cool. but hayden christenden looks terribly evil! even before he turned into darth vader. he looked better in the phantom menace.hhahah and he looked scary when he was burnt alive. BOO stupid anakin. because of his distrust in the Jedi Order and his blind love for Padme he turned into a perpetually asthmatic black machine! and he indirectly killed Padme as well. hahahhaah. anyway, IT WAS A COOL SHOW!

OH. A BEAUTIFUL MIND. A BEAUTIFUL MIND. ohman. the best show ever! it really had a lot of twists and turns. Mr. Parcher, the little girl and his roommate turned out to be his delusions cos he has a mental illness. ohman. and the soundtrack was spooky, calm and sad at the same time! especially at the car chase! and this is the first movie that caused me to tear. hahahahah the first movie that moved my heart of steel when it comes to watching movies. i was tearing at the part poor john (russell crowe) was practically cutting his own arm up in the mental hospital cos he couldnt find the govt. number stamp that the imagined mr. parcher had stamped on his arm. that forlorn look of his was so sad and so confused it'll break your heart. and every time i see those three people he imagined i would feel like crying. and those magazine cuttings! so sad. i totally spooked myself out watching it alone at night. hahahaha and my brother taped the whole thing but MISSED THE LAST FEW MINUTES. so i went to ask my grandma, who was watching it till 12.30 in her room last night to tell me what happened. and she said he saw those three people again, but walked away from them. hahahha. OHMAN I ACTUALLY TEARED. its a brilliant movie!!
OOOHH. A BEAUTIFUL MIND AND REVENGE OF THE SITH ROCKS!!

SECONDLY;
DANCE. there's something special about dancing. now i understand why people like eileen like dancing! I FINALLY UNDERSTAND. there is always this special magical feeling everytime you dance, its like just, MAGICAL, SPECIAL. you feel good when you're dancing, its like you FEEL the music, kind of like playing a musical instrument. i know when i started liking dance. its when my piano teacher taught me to play expressively by not using only the fingers, but using whole body movements. arms, shoulders, etc. example, playing the piano requires different kinds of touch. like you cant play mozart like beethoven or bach like mozart! that's horrible! or chopin like beethoven! if you play mozart like beethoven, mozart's piece will turn into beethoven's. this happens when you dont feel the music! like dance, if you dont feel the music, you'll just dance weirdly and will forget your steps. its as awkward as playing beethoven like mozart! ahhahaha. yeahh. so i am learning to feel the music. you must feel dancey! hahahaah. that's where the good feeling comes from! that's what's so different. its how you do it! two people can dance the same thing, but it turns out different! like two people can play the same piece, but it will sound different, the feeling is different. that's why dance is so interesting. its how you interpret it! like piano! every dance, like every piece is special, its something new! its a refreshing change! it is a refreshing change from sports, where you do the same thing repetitively.

THIRDLY;
badminton. i'm tired of it. its the game i've been playing for years, but somehow each time i go for training, i drag my feet there. its been the same for many years.
its the same thing im doing every time, hit the shuttlecock. sooner or later, i'm going to get very tired of it. like now. just hope this feeling will blow over. seriously, even my partner's tired of it. hahaahhaha. dont know what to do! we made an agreement today that if we really cant take badminton anymore, we'll go into long-distance track or modern dance. hahahahahahahahhahahaahahahahahahahahahahah
but i doubt i'll quit. im going to try to think of badminton as something i like when i go for training, maybe PE lesson! ahahahahh. or piano lesson or dance! as in something i like, not what the lesson contains. i must feel powerful again.

oh, and yes. something i thought about while in the stupid two-hour traffic jam home from CCA. my motto.
if your pieces/badminton/homework is rotting, take a break! hahaahahah. only i cant do that for badminton! hahahhaah. okay so it doesnt apply. but i have another motto! work hard, but know when to relax. sometimes, we have to learn to let go. if we really cant take it any more, let go of it, dont let it spoil your day. for example if you've fixed a piano practice time but no matter how you try, all of your pieces dont seem right, and you just cant correct the mistakes BUT you've played it perfectly in the last few practice sessions AND you've been practising for many days and hours already, maybe its time to take a break! oh yes and some tips for PRACTICE, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS. PRACTISE PERFECTLY, PERFECT PRACTICE.
practice is to reinforce the perfect. correct and eradicate all mistakes instantly, on the spot. dont ever tell yourself you'll correct it tomorrow. because it takes 7 times for a memory to be embedded, but 35 times to undo a mistake. so save energy, practice perfect.
and if you make mistakes in your exam, or your big piano recital, its because you LET it happen in the practice room.

shant say any more things about badminton to make myself more depressed. I'VE GOT A NICE PINK FAN FROM CHINESE DANCE SABBATICAL! YAY THANK YOU CHENLILI! haahhaah. SHALL WE DANCE? hahahahaah.

and QUEKIE. HELLO. YOU HAD ME AT HELLO. ahahahahh whew. this has been a long post! BYEBYE (byebye is specially dedicated to SIMCHAIPING as she loves my spastic trademark line! hahahahahah)

oh one more thing. mozart's biography makes me depressed! mozart's character is very disappointing for a genius child prodigic composer of such elegant music! mozart the person is not mozart the composer!
hahahaha BYEBYE!

hahahahha. history sabbatical was fun today! mr. mackintosh found out that we knew about his being the chief of the Mackintosh clan! thanks to mr. chan telling me and me telling zhuoxuan. hahahahahahahha his name is splashed all over the internet. hahah and his malay's cool. must have spent a lot of time learning it from the malay stall lady haahah. could only understand half of what he was saying though cos my grandma speaks malay to our maid. hahaha. like
bohong is lying.
saya dari mana? is where am i?
yeahhh. hahahah
and dance was COOL too!
the chinese dance was very nice to dance! hahaha still unsure about the steps although im trying hard to remember and not to be too stiff. hahaahah.
chenlili is quite nice!
OH. AND QUEKIE. YOU HAD ME AT HELLO!! you had me at hello.YOU HAD ME AT....
HELLO!

2005-05-14T23:15:00.000-07:00

STUPID SIT AND REACH. i stretched so hard my legs hurt like crazy when i got up, and i only just reached a B. BOOOO.im too stiff
im INFLEXIBLE.

lifern dont worry about your marks! you've still got half a year to catch up. just take a break during the june holidays and you'll be fine! maybe you're just too tired. CHEER UP! :)

OH. I WANT A NEW PIANO. A GRAND PIANO, I DONT MIND EVEN A SECOND HAND GRAND PIANO! BUT MY PARENTS THINK IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY.
if i have a grand piano i'll totally go crazy and play it for hours. grand pianos are so cool! better go start looking around! but i dont mind a brand new upright piano either. i REALLY REALLY WANT A GRAND PIANO. its so cool!! hahahahhaah. grand pianos are IN for my wish list now! grand piano!!
i will so TOTALLY practise!
hahahaahha.
i maybe will dig out all those old songs i've got and play them! maybe i'll try all those crazily difficult toccatas by bach and try to master beethoven's rage over a lost penny so i can dedicate it to penny mooo! hahahaha.

THE POINT IS, I WANT A NEW PIANO.
i heard my mum talking to my brother today.
she was saying why dont i go be a pianist instead of a vet! then can get sponsors to sponsor me pianos. LIKE REAL. HAHAHAH. NO WAY. im not good enough! hahhahaha.i must be like that little boy called benjamin boo or something who is i think only ten and can play like a concert pianist already. BOOOOO. hahahahahah
be like MOZART even better. he can just sit there in the esplanade's concert hall, listen to an orchestra playing and get notes of entire symphonies right. as in, go home and immediately pour what he has just heard out on paper. no i know why all those people in those old portraits look so glum. maybe they're afraid mozart is such a genius he can copy their music just by hearing them play without them knowing. HAHAHAHAHA.

rainy days remind me of fireworks, how i gave him extra bedding and sawdust to play in, how i saved some boiled veggies and fish from my soup, how i fed him fruits and veggies everyday. his favourite was corn and strawberries but he hated grapes. and how i stroked him on my lap when i watched tv. and how i took him to the garden for a run i still remember him loving to bite the cupid's shaving brush pink flowers. and how he loved midnight runs in the garden. its so weird to keep all his stuff, his photos, even the amount of food he left behind, but without him sleeping in his cage, snuggled in a warm ball, surrounded in sawdust. and the sounds of him playing on the wheel at night. there are some days i feel that fireworks is still alive, that his days of earth arent over yet. today was one of the days. because it was a rainy day

2005-05-07T23:32:00.000-07:00
