It starts from my toes, and I wrinkle my nose

Sunday, April 29, 2007 Alright! Im in Team Temasek Canoe. And so is Desmond. Future captain lol.Went to school eating energy food =D. Strawberry yoghurt and a banana from Des. thanks Des! energy food! haha.



Well we'll see if we want to stay. Selections was a torture. Even the seniors said they've never trained that hard before. Running was ok. 3 rounds warm up, 4 rounds for cut off of 10 girls. But the endurance part. Whoooooo. The girls started first. close to a hundred pumping and crunches then the boys came down and joined us for a few more hundred. We had to continue doing it till 2 guys and a girl backed out. So down, down, down, up, up, up. Blisters down, down, down, blisters up, up, up. 2 guys gave up. the girls refused to give up. So it ended with 10 for each team. and today desmond and I needed heat spray and rub.



Church, i! rehearsal and dinner with Gervais's and Harold's family. Sambal fish and all. Yum. haha. we ate every last bit of fish.



Man U-Everton:4-2

Rooney has been on a striking streak. Hooray for them. See SAM. I ADMIT THAT THEY'RE GOOD. Well may the best team win.



Labour day on tuesday! TO ALL SFERS: LETS HANG OUT ON TUESDAY. WE HAVENT MET UP IN EONS. Minus Sundays. So we're planningon Botanical gardens. Pictures and all. Picnic even maybe! I've been wanting to go there for such a long time. Sentosa will be a little crowded i should think. So tag my board if you're keen on going. =DD everyone!!! I miss you all!



Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things


Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things


Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things


im bueno-ing! one of my favourite things. =D fireworks too!



School tomorrow! 9-6. whee. with only an hours break.







i miss those days.

Thursday, April 26, 2007 Was running around maplewood park and each time I passed the area where there were stones for you to walk on, this particular man caught my eye. Hmmm how to describe his actions. He was holding a small, long, rectangular box. He was moving back and forth while talking at the same time to no one in particular but in different ways. Only on my 4th round did i figure out what he was doing.

I guess it was a very bad case of nerves and butterflies doing stunts in his stomach for him to be practicing over and over as to how he was going to offer that little box to a girl or someone special. When I left I saw him squatting down with his hands on the bench as if in prayer. stomachache? I wonder.


poor guy.

Tuesday, April 24, 2007 The start of school for the past 2 days have been better than I expected it to be I guess. Monday started and ended with a 1 1/2 lecture on organisational behaviour. Yes. I made a 45 trip to TP for 1 lecture. hooray. and 45 mins back home. today was a full day, 9-6 with a 4 hour break in between. waowee. haha.

THANKS DESMOND FOR GOING HOME AND TO SCHOOL WITH ME THESE PAST 2 DAYS!
it so happened that our lecture ended at te same tme and started at 9 today so we went to school together. =D
if you needed to know. it's you

Monday, April 23, 2007 Apparently i've been tagged by samsua to do this little 'game'. dont ask me why they refer to it as a game.

These are the rules: Each player of this game starts out by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in their blog 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you have to choose 6 people to do this.

righttttt. i'll play on.

1)a ritual i do before sleeping is to play one of the games on my hp.

2)i'll do the chicky dance for you anytime. 1 round that is.

3)i dont really think its weird but the others insist i am for wanting to go for orientation tht isnt compulsory

4)as much as my ex-classmates thought i should have become a perfect, i never wanted to be one. In fact I kinda disliked the thought of ever being a prefect though i was and still am pretty sure of myself that if i was a prefect i'll be in the exco. don't mind my confidence. hahaha.

5)welll...hmmm...im a fan of beansprouts plus salted fish!

6)i've run out of weird things. I doubt im that weird. I hope so.

6 people:
nobody's forcing anyone here. if anybody is that free to do it, go ahead. =D
I want ZOEY CHEW AND ESTER TAN to do it.
SAM K. as well and AILEEN.
ermmm NORMAN and lastly CHUA YEE LING.

Sunday, April 22, 2007 No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,nothing can harm you -
my words will warm and calm you.

Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry -your tears.
I'm here,with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you

Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you, now and always,
promise me that all you say is true -
that's all I ask of you

Let me be your shelter, let me be your light.
You're safe: No-one will find you
your fears are far behind you

All I want is freedom, a world with no more night
and you always beside me to hold me and to hide me

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you
anywhere you go, let me go too - Christine, that's all I ask of you

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime,
say the word and I will follow you

Share each day with me, each night, each morning

Love me - that's all I ask of you

I think it speaks for itself...

The cast was superb.

Offering today was a miracle.



His heart was breaking.
and so was mine

Friday, April 20, 2007 WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS AND WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIEND. Business school is Champion...AGAIN!!! 3rd YEAR RUNNING! Whoohoo, Whoohoo. Champions for DRAGON BOATING as well!

Oh we had aunty ruth's son at our house last night to baby sit while she had worship practice. Hes so adorable!!! Growing up into a handsome young lad. hahaha.

Right i have much to blog but duty calls. Gotta complete the rest of my song before i meet nancy tomorrow.

Thursday, April 19, 2007 Business school orientation today. Met my new class. I've yet to get to know them in a better way but from today...well I told Zoey "half of them are kinda not my type". If you understand what i mean by my type. Oh wells, thats based on first impressions so hopefully im wrong, hopefully they'll be what i think they are. =) benefit of the doubt.

another full day tmr from 8 till 10 at night. maybe i should skip jam and hop. oh we'll see.

sleeeepy. im sleeeepy

Wednesday, April 18, 2007 Sometimes i cant stand myself. Now now dont ask me to sit. Ok whatever. that wasnt called for. Anyway, I went to Bishan yesterday to create a new ez link card for poly. The whole thing cost $8, but i went home $51(exculding $8) poorer. Bought a black handbag at Accessorize and shoes at FNT. I couldnt resist the $29 shoes. Worth the parting of my money.

Further more, i went to marina square for lunch with my mom today but obviously we didnt just have lunch. Walked around the mall, entered dorothy perkins and walked out as a new member of topshop,topman and the former. That is..after spending more than $150. ouch. Heyhey but i didnt buy a lot ok. I only bought 2 pieces of clothing. My mom bought 4. hahaha. That makes me feel a little better. a little.

So if any of you wanna get stuff from topshop or dorothy perkins ask me along k? I get you a 10% discount off merchandise. whee. and i get to redeem points.

Dropped by kovan on the way home to get flower for aunty jessie as it was her birthday. 65 years old. Healthy and strong. She's my 1st floor neighbour btw. Rang her doorbell, sat and talked for a while. Her daughter, jackie, was taking out a vase to place the flowers in when she commented 'my boyfriends dont give me flowers. At least some people still know how to give flowers. I can use the vase for my mom.' Then she started complaining on how cheap men were getting to be. Haha. Aunty jessie looked at me and said 'yar men nowadays, dont know how to buy for women' I couldnt help but be amused. So guys, prove me wrong k. lol. As my mom told Jackie, 'prove yourself wrong and find a boyfriend that will buy for you!' haha.

Right. This is kind of like my last 'free' day before school starts. Business school orientation on thursday and friday, followed by the weekends then school will finally start. I've done my fair share of shopping. Well maybe not even fair. Enough to last me a whole year. man i've gotta kick this habit.

Tuesday, April 17, 2007 THE WORST THING THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. STRAITS TIMES MONDAY 16/04 H11 UNITED PLANNING SHOCK OWEN SWOOP. I COULD FEEL MY EYES JUMP OUT WHEN I READ THE HEADINGS. AND MY MOM LOOKED AT ME AS IF I'D WAS A MORON-she didnt know what i was reading-

I FREAKED OUT, WAS LEFT DUMB AND DEAF TO EVERYTHING AROUND ME WHILST I READ THE SMALL ARTICLE:

After tying up C. Ronaldo with a new 5 year deal, M.U. have set their eyes on another MAJOR TARGET: MICHAEL OWEN.... .... A United source told the News of the World: "It is no secret that 'chewing gum man'(Sir Alex) wants another striker, and he is bound to be attracted(DURH) by someone of OWEN'S PEDIGREE"... ...

and so on so forth. but the rest isnt important. GAH. How could they ever consider Owen. Not that i dont want the best for him, but *chokes* playing for M.U? *screams* My nightmare may come true.

Hence this part is crucial: "However 'Fergie' will launch a bid only if he is fully satisfied that the former Liverpool and Real Madrid man has recovered fully"... so you see theres still that glimmer of hope that he wont be bought. Not that i dont want him to get well. I DO! but...the thought of him playing for a team which I totally do not support, i mean look at it this way, how in the world am i suppose to support a soccer player who is in a team that is full of idotic, swell headed, bull dog face creatures? No doubt they play well, im not denying that but they play dirty as well.

ohhhh shalalalala, what to do, what to do, i can only sit here and wait for the newspaper to bring me more news of the transfer. What To DOOOOO?

Monday, April 16, 2007





For memory's sake.

Sunday, April 15, 2007 its only the 2nd rehearsal yet why does it feel like the 7th or 8th?

im utterly bored. im sooo bored. im have a sudden want to make my way down to taka tomorrow for no reason at all. i shall drag my mom since shes the only other person who can afford to go out with me at this point in time. everone else is too busy with school. booooo. Other than my sundays which are totally packed till 5 the rest of the week is just a lazzzy walk through. and sundays will continue to stay pack, not that im complaining its much better than long boring weekdays on my own. and guys, whatever rehearsals we're having now, i forsee that it wont be enough. not nough at all. we need to hold alot more practices during the hols so be prepared to see my face every other day. I know you'll love it. =DD.

sam- when talking used to be easy says:haha funny

oh right. when i get angry i get really angry. ask those that received it before. shakes head. i dont even like myself when i go there in fact.

right. more in the next post.

Thursday, April 12, 2007 i cant commit, im not ready to commit, can i commit?

was just blog surfing my secondary school classmates' blogs and this was what ive found in most of their blogs. It speaks for itself, nothing much for me to elaborate but what i do have to say is that im glad im not one of them. all the hassle and trouble for nothing at all. to hell with boys! not saying that they're trash but who needs them right now when you've got God? though they still do make good eyecandy. oh wells. maybe its just me =).

Freshmen orientation workshop(FOW) is over and i love the camp shirt. ITS PINK! Desmond just about freaked when I showed it to him from the laundry side window with both of us shouting across the block. He insisted that pink was extremely disgusting for guys and made it a point to tell him that the whole field was covered in pink for the final clash. haha.

I love my new girlfriends and though we 4 wont be in the same course, except for mabel and I, im sure we'll bump into each other since we're all from business school. Yet I still dont understand why Debbie says she cant join basketball just because she playes the piano. hurrhurr. says that it'll spoil her fingers...

Currently:
in love with TP and mary moon

Tuesday, April 10, 2007 walked into TP's sport hall holding hands with amanda fong and the OGLs were staring at us as if we were aliens. Oh wells PL girls. shrugs. Not as if we did anything wrong durh. Come on banglas at the construction side hold hands as well k. Mass dance today was good. Sad thingithat we only have 1 dance. excluding the chicky dance. ugh. More dances please! haha.

TP HAS NO CANOEING/KAYAKING. BOOOOO. They only have canoe-polo which trains 6 times a week so im not going to sell my soul to a mad dog driven cca. Tennis or basketball? haha. Mom's chasing me to go for bball. we'll see we'll see.

Skipped night performance and made my way down to bishan for my dinner date with Dora at subway! mmmm yum. caught up, talked about anything and everything and everybody.hahaha. that means you. yes you, You and YOU! haha. to nobody in particular.

sleep is calling. You hae to remember that after pigging out for 1,2,3,4,5 months my body isnt used to school hours right now so all it wants is sleep though i dont feel exhausted. Oh wells.

No eyecandy! thats about it. hahaha.

Monday, April 09, 2007 I was disappointed with the orientation we had today. Found it lifeless especially the cheers. I mean the OGLs were the hyped up-ed ones as usual but the whole OG was like...BLEH. Though we did emerged as the top group for the day with whatever scores they did but still. hmmm ok maybe I shouldnt be complaining so much since its really only the first day. When you see the size of each OG you'll be like whoaa. Cause seriously, each group consists of about 90 freshies plus 30 OGLs? Its totally crazy.

___________________________________________________________________
I guess its settled in me already about whats going on and everything. We finally came to a conclusion that im satisfied with so im leaving it at that and closing the book.

Send me back to the days where the birds sang and not crowed, when we played on monkey bars,in gutters and holes without a worry in the world. Our minds only occupied by the thoughts of bicycles and blades and what time to meet for basketball, blindmice in church whilst the sun went down behind the blocks. Clambering above and under, hiding in the auditorium, cycling along the narrow lanes. Sigh. Send me back.

Sunday, April 08, 2007 just when orientation is around the corner my friends tell me they're not going. Great. Never mind. I'll make new ones. =) Yun, Zhi Zhen and Aileen wre all saying that i was crazy enough to go or an orientation that wasnt compulsory but hey, it'll be fun right? Why miss out on that? Well, I do HOPE that it'll be fun. As Justin said, 8-9 only 1 hour what, then can go home. Yea, orentation is only or an hour a day. 8am-9pm. Whoo yea.

Boy i didnt know conducting rehearsals could be so tiring. even Christmas blog wasnt as bad a today. Ok maybe it's cause it's the first rehearsal and with all the setting up glitches and what nots its amazing that i've remained sane and not gone loco. Thank God for Nancy and Zhi Zhen.

Sometime I feel as if everthings gone messy and we've no way to solve it but just sweep it under the carpet, pretending as if nothing had happened. That people cant talk about things, neither can they remain themselves in front of everybody. Pft. Maybe its for the better as others put it. Maybe.

Enjoy yourself at Gilbulla, Sydney Candice! You'll love it there plus what with Paul and Diane Watson as the leaders in charge, they're full of love and i personally think that Paul is one cool grandad haha. Take care and im sure you'll learn a lot from the classes =)).

Sunday, April 01, 2007 Alright. I'm just about half alive right now but I must say, its been a pretty long time since i've blogge a decent post dont you think? So being the ever so nice me, i'll do it just for your sake. yes you who's reading it.

Most of you have been asking me about the 'retreat' that I had in Chiang Mai a few days back. Well i'm definitely not up for typing down every single minute detail about what, when, who, where so its just a rough sketch. Anyting else just ask me out for a cuppa and we'll chill. Then you can ask me anything about it. All I do have to say right now is that the classes were totally spirit taught, nothing that my mind was unable to receive because I wasnt thinking and using my brain to be frank. I was using my spirit. Though for 1 day I had this terrible heaviness on y head, as if somebody or something extremely heavy was sitting on it and I couldnt receive the teachings. But after prayer and a little ministry it did go away. Praise God for that. =)

23 lessons in total, each lasting 1 1/2 hours, morning and evenings. Afternoons were spent i group work, ministering to one another and healing wounds. Initially I had no idea what i was up for, i.e i didnt exactly know that this 10 day international school was a counsellor scool, equipping you to be a counsellor. So now i'm certified that i've complated Ellel's(Singapore) 10 day international school standard track and i've learnt how to help people. isnt that great. haha. in fact it's really so exciting to know what God has in plan for us all in the near future.

Oh and if you were wondering how come its called Ellel's(singapore) yet International school, well its because its organised by the Ellel Singapore team but people from 14 countries to be exact were attending the school. People from Taiwan, Bhutan, Myanmar, Philippines, USA, China, India and quite a number of missionaries from various places as well. My my, when i heard one of my group mate's who is an American but works in Taiwan speak in Chinese, she left me gawking at her fluency and vocabulary. haha. Compared to my B4, she's an A1.

I was expecting myself to be the youngest there in the school admist a sea of aunties, uncles, grandpas and grandmas so I was surprise to see a girl younger than me in the plane and shes only 15. Meaning she skipped school to come for this. Further more she was attending the advance track. Whoa. Apart from her there was a 22 yr old guy who just ORD from NS as a musician. NS guys, you sould haave heard about his life in ns. Its seriously a 2 year holiday for them, those in the PA, drama and music side. He spent the entire bus ride(1hr15mins) to the night market telling me about their crazy antics and how they can do anything they want to and not exactly get into trouble. That includes keeping a mohawk and setting up a lan-ing system in the entire block. So it was the 3 of us plus 2 siblings who just came because their mom was in the planning committee.

10 days literally away from the worries and banes of the harsh reality. Away from gossiping, wagging tongues, away from the thoughts of the impending poly, new school new environment, away from questioning faces and words.

But sigh. yes I know we all have to revert back to planet earth sooner or later but i do wish it was a tad later. Never mind. Face it i shall.

stagnant it will remain and now it seems as if i've lost my ability to talk,and to keep all of us as it used to be.

sleep it all away.
