1st-Jun-2010 01:02 pm - SUMMER:)
its been a reeeeeally long time since i last blogged. haha okay since its the hols and i'm currently slacking at home before going to work later, might as well bring this place back to life with a new post! OKAY. so far my uni life hasnt been as great as i'd expected it to be. i mean, i dont think there's anything wrong with SMU at all, its just the way i've been going on about with my uni life. most of my time is spent studying (reading those boring and complicated convulsed english judgments which i have no interest in but i do it coz i need to pass my exams) choinging for group projects, after which i will head home, eat, then sleep. and once again this cycle  continues. okay maybe i'm exaggerating a bit, i guess i do go out for lunch/dinner + shopping with my friends (heehee benefits of having school in town) occasionally after lessons but still, i just dont feel as if i'm experiencing THE uni life which i envisioned during the period after A levels. maybe its the lack of hostel life? maybe its the lack of a cca? (ever since i tore my acl i never regained the courage/determination to play competitive bball again) maybe..... its coz i've changed. i feel as if i've mellowed down as a person as compared to the past, no longer as daring, spontaneous and wiling to try new things. i think i'm growing old.

ANYWAY, its now the hols!!!:) so woohoo!:D i've been enjoying my hols thoroughly, i have done/am doing the things that i wanted so much to do since school started but never had the time to do them: meeting up and spending time with my jc and sec sch friends, spending time with cephas, working at made with love (which is an absolutely wonderful place:)), OCIP trip to Cambodia with my ocip groupmates whom i'm really beginning to like, pro bono work at the pro bono office at the subordinate courts, spending time alone at home slacking reading (books NOT CASES) and watching dramas:D sigh, what a blissful life:) but the hols are flying by so quickly, i think i'm going to emo when school starts. oh well. for now i shall just treasure every moment of this wonderful summer hols!:)

AHHHHH I'M SO BOREDDDDDD

thats why i'm deciding to blog now

its my last day here at Drew & Napier and it has really been quite a cool 2 weeks. Although most of the stuff i do is really really REALLY boring like admin stuffies and transcriptings and compilings and OMG PHOTOCOPYING i swear i'll never want to touch another photocopying machine again but okay at least i got to go to court and read up on various interesting cases handled by my mentor as well as the other interns' mentors, and we'd get all excited when we see the case pop up in the newspapers (okay i think i'm the only suagu that gets excited) so it kinda makes this whole internship interesting and fun! and of course the best thing is that there are other interns sitting around me to make things more lively when we have no work to do (happens quite often heh) :D AND i have learnt in these two weeks that stepping into a law office is actually kind of a health hazard coz its possible to literally drown in all the papers and files and documents that they have. Well but contrary to the believe that lawyers are all stern strict solemn people, i have discovered that this is really a misconception as the lawyers that i have met here are all very friendly and jolly and cheerful (they like cracking witty funny jokes) and well, other than the fact that they all speak very well, its hard to tell that they are actually the very people whom we see clad in black from top to toe, putting on a stern front and arguing their lungs out in a courtroom. Although it may seem like a very glam job, but lawyers actually do a lot of sai gang for their clients as well, quite sian one. yupp. But this internship has really been an enjoyable and eye opening experience and i've really learnt a lot more about what to expect if i ever choose (or able to choose:S) to do law!

Okay but after this i'm going to go back to being unemployed again. before collecting A level results. which will be before i go for my ACL reconstuction surgery the week after. UH OH. i'm feeling really nervous about it. i wish i didnt fall sick that time then i could have already completed it in early feb. AHHHHHHHHHHH. and it sucks even more that cedar bball is gonna form a team to play in youth cup which i totally wont be able to join coz of my stupid knee. GAHHH. oh well whats torn has been torn, nothings gonna change even if i whine or throw a tantrum or whatever SIGH

Okay yay its time for lunch! OH YA need to hurry go golden shoe eating complex to chope seats with tissue paper (this is what i learnt from the office people working around here its hilarious hahaha) Seriously, i got scolded by a man who came and invaded our seat while i was SITTING THERE PERSONALLY choping seats for my friends. can you guess what he said. "You did not reserve this seat there was nothing on it this is a public place i am allowed to sit anywhere and you are not going to chase me away" and he just plopped down into OUR seat and started eating his dao huey. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! well apparently sitting there personally to secure seats is now no longer good enough, tissue packets are the way to go. sheesh.
WOOOOHOOO PRELIMS ARE OVER! okay actually it was over last week but nvm, suddenly had the urge to blog again:D anyway, post-prelims was fun!!:D class outing to hort park and jurong east was great, had quite a lot of fun there heh:D and i think its coz i've never been to a watere theme park before so i was really amused by the wave pool and the long long long water slides, super cooool la!!!:D haha i know i sound like suagu but nvm:)

then on saturday we went to celebrate aud's birthday!:D shokudo wasnt as nice as i thought it'd be, maybe coz i wasnt very hungry at that time la haha but okay la the salmon omelette i ate was not bad:) then we went to NYNY for desert! didnt manage to get the free cotton candy though:(

then today kitty lydia chonglin and songyuan came over to my house for fun haha. and we COOKED OUR OWN LUNCH hahaha!:D but okay la actually it was quite simple coz all we did was boil instant miso soup and soba noodles and tossed our own salad:D but but not bad la, our salad looked so pretty we almost couldnt bear to eat it:D but the movies we rented were quite lousy, The Mist had a totally retarded ending and the one litre of tears that we borrowed wasnt the actual one so it wasnt nice at all. siannn

anyway i kinda dread going back to school and getting back my prelim results coz i know i screwed up most of the papers and it really sucks coz i really did study for this exams. everyone always says that as long as you've tried your best theres nothing to be sad about, but somehow that doesnt comfort me one bit coz if i still do badly it just tells me that theres something seriously wrong with my brains and that theres no hope left other than a brain transplant or something so yeah. i dont see how that is encouraging. but oh well. whatever i'm prepared for the worst ahhhh::S 

meanwhile i shall enjoy the rest of the week before chionging for As again RARHHH!
5th-Dec-2007 03:16 pm - Belle Memoire~

yesterday was prom! shangri-la is a nice place:) just that erm, i find the place a lil complicated. they have like 10 million doors around. and guess what. i was so confused that i opened the wrong door when i wanted to get from the function room to the ballroom. coz like we had to exit the function room areas to go down to the ballroom, then i somehow mistook one of the function room doors as the exit and urgh, i got a terrible shock when i found myself stepping into a meeting with a lot of angmohs. realising that i'd opened the wrong door, i hurriedly apologized and closed the door, hoping to scuttle away and pretend that nothing happened. but ahhh. at this instant one of the hotel staff walked past and saw what happened and totally scolded me. urgh. whatever. anyway, other than having too many doors around, the place is really nice and grand with really pretty chandeliers and nice soft carpets:) even the toilet is nice. heh.

anyway, so being in the flowers subcom i was supposed to sell and deliver flowers. At first flower sales was TERRIBLE. I walked around for about 1 hour plus asking the seniors if they’d like to buy flowers and oh my, I only managed to sell ONE single stock rose. How pathetic is that :(   The seniors were all like talking and taking pictures and stuff, so no one was really interested in buying any flowers. Sigh. It was so depressing. But oh well, after that when the actual prom started the flowers started selling like hotcakes so we managed to sell all our flowers:) yay.

 

Saw cephas and the rest of the seniors! They all looked really smart and cool and pretty!:) haha. took lots of pics too even though its not my prom. Heh.

23rd-Nov-2007 02:43 pm(no subject)
 

wow this has been quite an eventful week! okay i shall start. 

Monday: 
went to school in the morning for the tsukuba meeting, then played ball for a while, ran a bit, and then went to watch gameplan with yx and ht. haha the show was really nice and touching even though it was kinda predictable, but oh well, i was still moved to tears:) dont know why the rest didnt cry though. and i realised we were all pigging out in the theatre! haha yx bought a subway sandwich, ht bought her cheese suasage from chippys and onion rings from mos, and i bought burger from mos, fries from longjohn and cookies from subway:) oh well, we were all hungry:)heh.

Tuesday:
yay the tsukuba people came today! oh my all the japs are so cool and cute la! especially the girls:)and they are all really nice and polite too! though it was quite hard to communicate with them coz they couldnt really speak english and we couldnt speak jap. yupp. i thought the guys were quite dao. except for the one who told me that i had a cute smile:D HAHAHA! but no la, i think it's coz i didnt really try to talk to them i guess, so i feel quite bad. but the girls were much easier to talk to and i dont know why, but they seem to understand us better too, so yeah:) brought them around the school, which was quite weird coz they toured mostly the high school side, and places like the heritage centre and high school library, even I have never seen these places before la. Haha. But oh oh! I think the high school library is really nice! looks like a nice place to study in:) So after that we went to CCAB to play ball. Whoa the jap guys were not bad! Although they still lost to our guys team,(coz we have super tallies like shengyu and weeyong and super fasties like billy) but not bad la, they managed to put up a fight and most importantly, THEY LOOKED COOL:D HEH. Yupp, I had lots of fun playing with the girls team too, and I irealised its been a really really long time since I last played a full court 5 on 5 match, so it was really nice:) then after that we went back to school, had reception, exchanged gifts and then bade them farewell. We all just stood there and waved as they rolled away on their buses, quite funny. Haha. Then we had to clean up and then practice batch dance after that. But I just slacked at the table with ying and xiu coz I wasnt feeling very well. Yupp, then went home and fell asleep at 9! Haha, its like the earliest I' ve ever slept this whole year:)

Wednesday:
woke up early to go for the CCA leaders workshop thingy. oh man the morning was really boring, except for the reception:) coz it was all just talks. then slacked around during breaktime, where i finally learned how to play bridge!:D tried learning it a few times before, but the bidding process is just so... complicated. haha. well, at least i sort of understand it now, even though i still dont get the partner partner part. like, we can end the game and yet i still dont know who my partner is. heh. oh wells. then we had teambuilding games after that. actually i think those people who pon are quite bad, coz they actually got external people to come conduct the activities, but i guess we cant blame them coz the workshop started off really boring. haha. i thought the games were not bad though:) got to know more people too so it was quite fun. haha. yupp then stayed back a while to play volleyball. Vball is fun!:D heh. Just that its really painful and our hands got all read and swollen after that! Haha. Then played ball for a while before going back. talked a bit to tommy about some emo-ish stuff and then totally just conked out after that. haha. 

 

Thurdsay:

Haha we all just skipped the first part which was first aid and some talks, but came to school just in time for lunch. Haha:D then we boarded the bus to changi moe where we had our dragonboat activity. Saw a bunch of cedarians there having LTC. haha. And I realized that actually hor, the new pe shirt is super ugly la!! I mean, it' s a nicer material, but haiyo. Really quite ugly eh. Saw miss/mr poon too. Khong' s reaction was like “ew ew ew”, and well, I couldnt agree more. Anyway, back to dragon boating. Haha it was damn fun! Super super tiring but I think thats coz we spent the whole 2 hrs capsizing and bouncing around in the water with our buoyancy vests. Heh. Oh but but. The seawater was TERRIBLE. Oh my gosh, it was damn salty la. Eeew. I drank lots of it while bouncing around in the water, it was damn gross. Urghh! Worse still, a lot of it went up my nose too! YUCK YUCK YUCK ! so gross! Haha but it was damn funny, coz like you know, dragon boats are normally not supposed to capsize since its so big and all, but ours capsized twice, while the other boat didnt capsize at all (but thats coz they had canoeists on the other boat lor:D). then all the instructors were like saying how in their many years of dragon boating they have never seen people capsize twice in the same day before. Hahaha super funny:D but aiya, not our fault la, blame it on the choppy waves:) heh. But after we recovered from our second capsize we couldnt go on anymore coz of the waves, so we all had to go back to shore:( sians. Haha so even though we rowed like less than 200 strokes in that 2 hours, it was still great fun:)))) I guess you can say that capsizing is fun too:) heh.

 

Friday:

Which is today! Haha. Today is a slack-at-home rest day:) haha supposed to go sentosa today but aiya, I' m sick of the seawater. So I shall just rest at home. haha, shall go swimming later with my bro. phew, i'm so glad that the swimming pool water isnt salty!:D heh.

17th-Nov-2007 12:16 am - Yoghurt day??:D
okay, went to school today for oshco meeting, which only me and qinsheng turned up for. oh wells. then painted the banner for a while before going to watch the Bee Movie with tommy. kitty pangseh us la! haha. i realised i havent watched this type of movies in a long time, so this was quite nice:) heh. after that i met up with khong, clara, shiangnee and jenn for enthucomm dinner! haha its been a really really really (about 3 years) since i last talked to them, but it wasnt as weird as i though it'd be, so its not bad i guess. haha some parts were funny even, especially when we reminisced about our sec1 sec2 days. hahaha:D oh how i miss those days, those wondeful carefree days back in cedar. oh well. ate lots of nice food at chomp chomp! there was the oyster omelette, fried hokkien mee, carrot cake, chicken wings, and the tsuk tusks(oops dont really know how its spelt haha). then of course being on the healthy diet that jiaolian has told us to take, i opted for the more healthy sliced fish soup, which was really nice as well:) and i refrained myself from icecream before that too. so yay to a nice and healthy day!:)) 
14th-Nov-2007 12:33 am - surprise!:)))

haha i realised its been a really loooong time since i last blogged. heh. this thing about blogging, i'm sill not used to it and i really hate it when everytime i'm almost done with my post i'll just accidently click/press on some key and THE WHOLE POST JUST DISAPPEARS. rarhhhh.

anyway, yesterday was really nice:)) kitty, meiying, songyuan, chonglin and tommy came over to my house at 12 midnight to surprise me:D heh. seriously i really dont know how they managed to get in so quietly la haha. i was sitting in my room settling some tsukuba visit stuff when my dad came in at 11.59 to ask me to go out. and pring! i saw the cake, looking so bright and pretty:)) haha then suddenly there was a burst of  singing and they totally just popped out of the kitchen!:D hahaah. it was pretty cool:D and i was super shockedd:D hahaha. THANKS SO MUCH YOU GUYS!:))) i was really really touched:))) LOVES LOVES LOVES MY DEAR FRIENDS<333

haha so we had a sleepover which was really spontaneous(chonglin didnt even bring his toothbrush:D)haha quite funny i guess, coz everything was like unprepared and unarranged, so there was trouble trying to find places for them to sleep:D ahaha. but in the end tommy took one bed and the the rest of us squeezed onto the other bed. oh my, to think about it now ah, i really dont know how we did it la. haha. wooohoo, we're skinny people! HAHAHA!:DDD
hmm but it was quite uncomfortable actually haha.

then most of us kinda had stuff in the morning, so everyone started leaving, while me, kitty and lydia lunched  together at PS. haha. walked around a bit, pigged out a bit, then went home.

and SLEPT. HAHA. 

after that went for dinner with my family:) nice jap food at east coast! haha. but the bowl they served my udon in was like twice the diameter of my head. hahahah. quite amusing:D

 

Had training today! gosh, jiaolian was out to kill us i tell you. the 3 man fastbreak, whoa, SUPER TIRING!! oh well, but i guess its coz we're all in really bad shape right now la. haha.  

22nd-Oct-2007 10:49 pm(no subject)
 sighh. i love bball. but i kinda dread training nowadays... SIGH. i wonder why:( 

we survived another round of training today! oh man, jiaolian's physical  training at the end was absolutely terrible. haha it has left me with 3 really really huge blisters that threaten to burst anytime. but oh well, at least all the running has left me feeling satisfied. now i feel slimmer:D heh. 

anyway, our Oral Presentation today was kinda disastrous. haha. coz we were quite unprepared, everything was kinda in a mess. haha. oh well. pw sucks. cant wait for it to finally be over!

AHHHH chinese exam is next MONDAY. AHHHH! GGXX i tell you. my chinese has deproved since sec school, i'm sure of it. SIGH. oh well, guess i can only hope for the best for this coming exam. anyway i havent been doing much to expect good results, so yeah. i'lll be really really happy with a C. haha i guess you can say that my expectations are really low, but you've gotta understand that my chinese is really really really, BAD. haha. oh well, jeremy suggested that i speak chinese from now till monday, alright, i shall try!:D hopefully this will help:)heh


YAY time to buy new shoes!! heh. i kinda kinda want to buy asics, but they're really exx. ahh. and i'll be using them on the courts, so they'll probably wear out like super fast. and my parents are just gonna kill me for wasting money. haha. oh well. shall go queensway to look around someday:)
14th-Oct-2007 06:52 pm - team sleepover!:D

okay firstly, yay to a successful and happy open house! everything went really smoothly despite the rain and thats great:) personally, i'd feel that this year's open house totally owned last years. haha. i think its coz i felt that last year's wasnt really welcoming and that there didnt seem to be as strong a spirit as this year's. hmm but then again, it might be probably due to the fact that we came at the wrong time, when everything was dwindling to an end. haha. oh well. anyway i really enjoyed this year's OH though! fac dance was fun, tourguiding was fun, and even goodybag distributing was fun:)))

okay anyway, we had a sleepover again at aud's house! haha. except that this time its a hc team bonding thing:) yay, it was fun! haha we spent the whole time watching liu xing hua yuan(meteor garden), episode after episode. i guess the show is not bad la, quite nice, just that omg 20 episodes is way too long mans. after a while it sort of became a little too draggy with the characters and their never ending problems. but SIGH. the show was soooo sweet!:D hahaaha and all of us were like swooning over the lead character played by jerry yan in the show. but erm, i guess we only like him in the show la, coz it was his character that made him cool.(but i still think the character played by vic zhou is cooler heh) anyway, so we watched through the night, while drifiting in and out of sleep. haha.

alright, i guess its now back to WR and I & R. rarhhhhhh. i hate pw. and i bet the whole world agrees.
