The days, shall long no more


Take me to paradise, somewhere to free me out of this misery.

Hello people! Whew, finally I am blogging again! After like... 5 days? Haha well as usual, cause nothing really happened much during the past few days, so I didn't blog. Can't blame it, I seriously have NOTHING to do. All I did was play WoW, Facebook, watch TV (some days have good movies really) and ultimately, waiting for days to go by until my SP DPA Bonding camp is here, which is the day after tomorrow.

Anyway today umm did nothing much except the shopping and the cooking I did as usual. I cooked steamed fish and yum, it was lovely. Except that I overcooked the fish so it was rather loose and fleshy. But still nice. I cooked grilled asparagus too, and yes it was lovely as well.

Well was talking with Meng Fung about jobs, somehow, and I was wondering whether I should go for like some sort of voluntary job in either SPCA or anything like that. Well I went to their website and I found out that I couldn't work with them, because they need a 4-month sort of commitment. Which means I have to go there for a first 4 months on a weekly basis first. So well I don't think I can do that.

Then I typed "voluntary work" in Singapore Google, and I came across this website called IVHQ - International Volunteer Head Quarter. It's basically a website in which you can apply voluntary work OVERSEAS. That sounds fun isn't it? Like I can go to Kenya, Thailand, Vietnam or Mexico to do volunteer work. Perhaps after I graduate from SP, I'll do this :D

Well I guess that's all for today. I have a group meeting tomorrow with the DPA Camp Group B people. So thank God I have something to do for tomorrow. But the bad thing is that I NEED to shift my sleeping time from now onwards. Since I've been sleeping like either from 2 - 4 AM. And oh, I need to shed some fats as well. Can't believe I'm 90? Oh my God man.

See ya people!

It's maple syrup!


Hello people! Today I just went for the SP DPA Freshmen Orientation! Well it was nice, and SP is freaking huge (well first timer there) and I got lost when I was heading for the orientation venue. Thanks to me getting lost, I almost made it there and thank God I'm not the last one or something like that. But, I was drenched when I reached there, thanks to the walking.

Met with my other DPA peers from Biomed science and other peers from my school (school of Chemistry and life sciences). Well was alone cause I literally know no one there, but I met these wonderful people and we talked and such. I made a few new friends! Russell is one of them, and Candy and Meetra and Hillary :D

Toured around the school and received training for my online matters in SP. Quite fun as well. The facilitators are friendly and nice as well! Very approachable and nice to talk to. Well now the only programme that lies for me is the Overseas camp in Tuesday, really looking forward to it!

Alright that's all for today. Hope this is a great beginning to my life in SP. And really looking forward to start my modules yay. Alright see you!

In love with tomato now.

4E1'09 BBQ


And thankfully, the sky was blue today!
Photography by Yours Truly
Love blue sky! As always!


Hello people! I'm just back from the 4E1'09 BBQ. Well I'm really happy because lots of us could make it for the BBQ! 32 people went for the BBQ which is great yes. I'm really sad that the 5 people and Mrs Lee couldn't make it but well, we'll have another outing yes.

Let me just talk about the BBQ. Reached WCP at around 4.50, while waiting for the delivery man we talked, wrapped the potatoes and as for me, cut them. And we also waited for people to come here as the BBQ pit was kind of difficult to be found. Seriously, the place was kind of secluded. I suggest to NParks to shift the location haha.

Took an hour (I don't know why) to start the fire and we started cooking! We cooked, laughed, sang, danced, did silliy things, took pictures and more! It was really fun when I'm around my friends, so fun and exciting yes. And I'm so so glad that we managed to -almost- finished the entire food I bought. We threw away like 4 chicken wings because we were really really stuffed. And I salute the boys who finished the 9? chicken wings!

Some of the boys, I forgot who stayed back to clear the place. Thanks a lot guys! And it was left with me, Federick, Neal and Wei Lun who cleaned up the last bit of the place. Then we headed home. Thankfully we didn't miss our last buses/train. And well here am I, home sweet home.

Tomorrow I'll be having my SP DPA orientation day. Really looking forward to this day cause it kind of marks the beginning of my preparatory programme which means, no more boring days! Hopefully will have lots of fun tomorrow, and I hope I'll get to meet nice people who I can talk to yeah. Ot else I'll be so bored there.

Alright, would like to say a huge thank you for my wonderful 4E1'09 people who attended the BBQ! You guys made it a successful one okay. And to the boys who stayed and cleaned up the place as well. Alrighty people, see you and good night!

I hope we'll have more gatherings in the future :D
PS: Good luck to those knowing their JAE results tomorrow! Hope you'll get into the course/JC that you want :D

2E4'07 Chalet

Hello people, back from the 2E4'07 chalet with my lovely 2E4'07 friends! Well not all of them attended the chalet but well, loving it. And yes Miss Lai came as well so it's even more fun! Love the moment in which we "greeted" her for the last time as a class :( it's kind of sad to know that there will be no more 2E4'07 you know.

Well reached the chalet at 5 PM (which supposedly was 1, but I had to do something else in the day) and then chatted with the people around to wait for the BBQ to start. While waiting cycled together with Sherlyn, Jeremy, Jesher, Gera and Daniel to fetch Miss Lai but Sherlyn and I decided to return back cause we realied that there were too many people cycling haha.

Then we BBQ-ed together, thanks to Jeremy Ang's mum for making those lovely dishes, especially the stingray! God it's super nice haha, I ate like 5 packets I think (I share some okay). And the pork chops are nice as well. And not forgetting I made some of my weird dishes like what I did in 2E4 2007 chalet! But this time the food is edible trust me :P

As for the rest of the night, did nothing much but chat and chat and chat. Cephas really turned our room into a roaring laughter. And I enjoyed annoying Rachel while she was playing Gera's iphone haha! In the morning ate Mac which was bought by Neal, and spent the time till afternoon playing cards with the boys. Cycled together with Jesher and then we took a refreshing dip into the pool. You have no idea how hot the weather was.

While the others went out for lunch, Sock Leng, Daniel and I went to... Watch the TV. We seriously had nothing to do but to watch TV shows haha. Then when Gera and the rest were back we chatted in the room again, playing some funny Chinese words game. Then in the afternoon/evening, went to cycle with Gera, Rach, Sherlyn, Jesher and Daniel. And spent the evening by the beach, enjoying the breeze, It's heaven!

As for the night, went to eat dinner together with the peeps. Wanted to leave at night but Sze Qian and the others had persuaded me to stay until tomorrow morning. And Shaula decided to stay too. Did nothing much at night, cabbed to Clementi with Shaula in the morning, EARLY morning and and home sweet home!

Okay that's all for the chalet part. And yeah, I hope we'll have another class gathering in the future. Will miss you all people, and miss shouting at you all even more! Haha. Alright see ya then!

And one more gathering to go.

Wednesday 20 January 2010

Back!

Helllllo people! I'm back from the Genting trip and it was soooo awesome. And yes it was freaking cold as well, but somehow I got used to the weather on the 2nd day. It was a fabulous trip I must say with the theme park and the shopping and the walking we did!

Well shall just briefly go through what we did on the three days, pictures tomorrow or some other days cause I'm lazy to upload it haha.

First Day:
Well met at Jurong East with Jes and Neal at about 6.40, which was supposedly at 6.30 haha. Then Ade hopped on the train at Chinese Garden and we made our way to the lakeside and the bus terminal. Rode the bus to Genting at about 8 (From Tuas) and reached Genting at 2. 6 hours! We spent most of the time sleeping cause we couldn't sleep the previous night but we did some nice chatting too.

As we arrived in Genting we checked in and waited for like an hour plus to get our keys... Our queue number was 7112 and the queue number being served was 7034. Can you imagine that? And yes it is in sequence. Rested in our rooms for a while and headed to Pizza Hut for lunch, super late lunch. And we were full! Played bowling, arcade and shopped a little, and watched the spy next door which is super duper funny!

Second Day:
Spent most of the day at the theme park, had a superb, and awesome time there with all the rides we took! I enjoyed all of them especially the power shot one! Where Neal and me were brought up to like some 30 storey tall tower and then we plunged down. It's exciting and nice too! And scary but seriously, nice...

Went for dinner (or lunch) after taking a break from the theme park and then spent the night walking around to shop! Bought a shirt and two cool umbrellas haha, and some key-chains for my family. And we also played some of the chill-out rides in the indoor theme park and yeah, that was how we spent the night of the second day.

Third Day:
Since it was our last day we did nothing much, completed my shopping and then spent the afternoon in the hotel room chatting with them. And then headed to Starbucks to chill out while we wait for time to go by.

The journey back was alright, just that I couldn't sleep at all because perhaps I had a great sleep on the second night. And perhaps it's just that I couldn't sleep! But well took some time to do a reflection in the bus as I always did after every trip. Which is nice. Have a peace of mind you know.

As we arrived in Singapore, we went to eat dinner together before we went back to our own respective houses. Thanks to Adeline's mum for sending us to Clementi. Then took a taxi together with Jeslyn while Neal took his own taxi and then I reached home!

That's all for my wonderful and fabulous Genting trip. Since it was my first time in Genting, I would say the trip was an enjoyable one! And this was also my first time traveling only with 3 of my friends. And tell you what, traveling with friends is seriously an enjoyable thing to do! Hopefully we can have another trip again somewhere yeah.

Alright see you guys then, I wanna rest and take a break. 2E4 chalet is coming up soon so well, better rest well! Okay see ya!

Thanks to Jeslyn, Ade, and Neal for the wonderful trip!

Genting!


Blue skies... Is loved

As always :)


Hello people! Back to blog again. Oh man can't wait for tomorrow cause... I'm going to GENTING! With Ade, Jes and Neal! Woots, like finally we have a planned holiday haha. So weird, we've been talking about it before Os and we couldn't have it planned and now we have it! Yay. Genting! It'll be my first time going there. So hopefully the trip will be a smooth one! :D

Anyway today did nothing much, again. Sometimes my days here are really like those "Nothing to do much" day. What can you do? I totally have NOTHING to do haha. But well, those days will soon be gone, since my SP days will start pretty much soon I suppose. And next week will be jammed pack with lots of things.

Genting, 2E4 chalet... And next next week will be like 4E1 BBQ and then my SP will start. So I suppose it's uhh 9 more days I suppose. Woots. Oh well, sometimes it's kind of ironic that I want school to really start but I do really want to enjoy holiday as well. It's weird but oh well haha.

So well I cooked dinner today, finally haha. Cooked soup cause I'm having cough. I think it's a cold-cough cause I only got it when I'm feeling cold like at night or something like that. Turned out nice but I couldn't finish it. Hoping to finish it either tomorrow or tonight haha.

Alright that's all for today. I hope that the weather in Genting during our trip will be cool and sunny! Hope it doesn't rain AT ALL yes! And hope the trip will be a smooth one eh. My first time overseas with my friends only. Hmm, smell of freedom awaits.

See ya Genting!
PS: May not blog during the trip. Will try to.

The days


Fly me to the sky, and let me dance among the clouds.
Photography by Yours Truly
Skies, love!


Hey people! Back to blog again! Did not blog these 3 days because either A) I got nothing to do, or B) I got nothing to blog or C) I'm too lazy to blog! Haha. When I have nothing to do, I seriously have nothing to blog, and I won't feel like blogging you know. But anyway I shall tell you what I did today and yesterday. Spring Cleaning!

Okay so basically my table was in a mess, so I decided to clean it up by like getting rid of the things I don't need anymore, and packing the things I want to bring back to Indo. And now my table is sooooo super clean and nice! Haha love it! I want to try to change the positions of things on my table as well, like the position of this and that.

As for today, I went to clear my CDs. Music CDs, Movies and more. Well actually it's my sis who asked me to sort em out, like sort those you wand, and sort those you don't want. And sort those you want to bring back, and sort those you want to keep. Well the sorting out is done, I have a plan! Haha. Since I'm going to have my room soon (in the future), I'm going to bring back my beloved classical music CDs that I bought with my own hardwork of money! Haha. It's priceless in the future I guess...

And I also found my old CDs again! Like those CDs that I recorded when I was in P4-P6. So I decided to listen to it again... And the songs just made me smile again! Firstly because it brought me back to those years, and secondly it is like as if I discovered those nice songs I listened in the past, like a long-lost nice songs. And now I found it again and I'm loving it! Like for example I found Ronan Keating Song "Life is a Roller Coaster" and it's such a nice song!

I finally cooked again just now, I cooked chicken fillet with egg and butter... Sounds weird? It tastes alright I guess, just that I need to reduce the salt I used. And yesterday I cooked this pasta with tomato sauce... I discovered a secret ingredient. BUTTER! Add butter to your tomato puree and oh my God the sauce feels so smooth and creamy. Really nice.

Alright I guess that's all for today and yesterday. Really looking forward to Monday! Cause I'm off to Genting with Ade, Jes and Neal! It's like a trip that celebrates out fantastic result eh? And we deserve it I suppose. Okay see you all!

Life is a roller coaster, you just gotta ride it.

The sweetest fruit


Was such a wonderful day.
Photography by Yours Truly.
I love Starbucks! I miss Starbucks! Taken at Starbucks!


Whew, just got my results... And...

I am really happy with it! Pretty much satisfied!

Yes! I scored a 9 for my L1R5, and a 7 for my L1R4. I get 6 distinctions and oh God I am really really happy! Somehow my dreams turn into a reality! And what I am really happy about is my grade for English, I scored an A1! It was my first A1 that I ever have, and I got it in Os. Oh wow, how could I be not happy? I'm delirious!

Congratulations to Cheryl, Sam Tan and Jie Long for topping the school with their 9 and 10 distinctions! Happy for you guys! Congratulations to those who scored distinctions as well! And basically congratulations to EVERYONE! Remember it's not the marks that matter it's the effort. I firmly believe that everyone has done well, so long they gave their best!

Sigh, time is really flying quickly, now that our secondary school life is officially over, everyone will go to their separate ways. But do keep in touch aye people! And now I'm waiting for my life in SP to start. I can't wait for it to start, and I'm eager on how it will go. Hopefully it will be as great or even better as my life in Tanglin.

Whew, alright I guess that's all for this wonderful day. I am really happy with my results and I am also in complete shock with my result. I did not expect myself to get such results. It's incredible. I regret getting some of the grades like Bio and Lit, both a B3... Sigh. But it's okay, no point regretting cause it's all over and done with. Alright see ya people!

Remember, you are who you are.

Fruit, of my labour


Results, tomorrow.
Photography by Yours Truly.
I'm, freaking out. Seriously!


Hello people! Today was a... Really nothing to do day haha, except for the cooking I did in the evening. And today I woke up at like 1.20 PM, oh gosh, cause I slept at 4 yesterday, watched some really good shows and then I couldn't sleep. Yeah. Perhaps it's because of tomorrow.

TOMORROW!

Tomorrow, we shall taste the fruits of our labour.
Even though it maybe sweet, bitter, or sour,
It is a fruit that is worth to be savoured!
Remember those hours, the days, the sweat.
The sleepless night, and the red bump on your fingers.

Tomorrow, is the outcome of those things!

Yeah tomorrow is the release of the O Level Results! So how can I not freak out! Oh gosh, hopefully I'll get what I hope for, and yes I'm hoping for the best, and yes I'm still scared! But well as Emily told me, worrying won't solve anything. And... Yeah, lets just hope for the best aye!

Alright I guess that's all for today. Hopefully I will get good results yes! Pray hard for me! Arrrgh. See ya!

About 2 months ago, I was still doing Os. Now? I'm going to taste my fruit of labour.

Tired


Live simply, like a wedge of lemon in a glass.
Photography by Yours Truly.
Lemon tea, without the tea.


Hello people! Today I had a great but tiring day. well the tiring part will be most probably because of my 2 hours of sleep... Couldn't sleep last night and I don't know why. Hopefully I'll have a great sleep tonight eh. Today was a blast, many things happened so shall talk about that.

Well I conducted the band for their CCA open house. I would the say the performance was not too bad, it was okay but not marvelous. It was great but not fantastic that kind of thing? Haha. Well so long they tried their best there, and enjoyed what they did on the hall, I would say that's not a problem.

Then went to eat with Neal and Jes (only me and Neal were eating) at Uncle Sam... Wow miss that place haha! We used to eat there last year together and now we're eating it again. But I got so full and I don't know why even though I usually like don't feel full.

At night went to NPCB concert with LTY, Brenda and Sandra. Very nice repertoire and nicely played as well! Love the March Willing and Able, Domus, MJ songs and more. Alumni band was also great. American Graffiti woots.

And then thanks to LTY for accompanying me to eat dinner together, had a nice chat on food too, on the different kinds of meat somehow. And I headed home and somehow met a few weird people in the bus. There's this guy who talked back to the bus captain when he didn't tap his card... That's like so diao. And he "used" the sound of my card to hide his trick. Too bad my card got lagged so he got caught.

Then there's this super unhygienic man who took of his sandals, and then like scratch his toes? Eew? And then he's weird in a sense he always looks back to the guy I mentioned above. And he always stare at people talking, walking, chatting. Weird... But well I guess that's how diverse the world is? Haha!

Okay that's all for today, it's been a wonderful day and I would never regret and forget my experience of conducting the band today. Alright people see ya!

Burger King's burgers are getting nice?

Friday 8 January 2010

Conducting


Music, is the best thing I can get.
Photography by Yours Truly.
Tomorrow! :D


Hello people! Today, somehow feels like a normal school day to me except for the studying! Cause I went to school to check the band and... I got asked to conduct them tomorrow... Whew, that will be my first time conducting the band in a performance. So all the best to me and everyone else performing tomorrow for the open house, especially TSMB-ians!

Today went to the MOE to pay my school fees or else I won't be able to get my results, scary eh. So then rushed to school to meet band members and to check when and where to meet for tomorrow and stuff.. And that's when they told me whether I could conduct them tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow will go smoothly yes!

After band went to help Mrs Lee with the decorations for the band room spot. And then went to eat dinner with LTY and Shafeeq, and we reminisced about lots of things that happened to us in Tanglin, ahh, the good old days. And on Monday I'll be getting my results. Holy smoke. Arrgh!

Alright I guess that's all for today, gotta sleep early tonight cause gotta wake up early tomorrow. Pray hard for me people! See ya soon! And good luck again to those performing tomorrow!

Another step closer to my dream.

Back!

Hello people! I'm back in Singapore right now. The flight was delayed by one hour so is rather tired right now. But thanks to the delay I made it in time cause I was also late to arrive in the airport... Jam and jam.

Gonna go to school tomorrow, cause gonna go for band or something like that. Alright just an update, see ya then.

12 hours gone, and now I'm here...

Wednesday 6 January 2010

Going back


5 more days to D-day
Photography by Yours Truly.
This was taken while I did that prose for Miss Sophia, and now...


Hello people! Today was a normal day I think, quite a special one with "special" things going on as well haha! Shall talk more later on. Well it's my last day of my holiday here :( and I'll be going back to Singapore tomorrow. And the results, arrgggh! It WILL be out on the 11th! 5 more days! Gosssh. Well hopefully I don't freak out when I see my result.

Today went to cut my hair, again. I know it's kind of too early but I love the hairdresser way of cutting my hair into this style. And since it's so much cheaper to cut my hair here than in Singapore so why not right? Yup. Then headed to this new restaurant in my town to eat lunch with my sister. They serve real good food, it's not bad at all.

After lunch, guess where I went... The temple! Yes! Haha, it's been like ages since I went to the temple of my town, it used to be where my Sunday religious class is held when I'm still here, and I used to go with my mum there to pray every 15th day of the lunar month, or during special events. And today I went there, to pray of course.

I pray for a safe return to Singapore, and my sis' return here, and my Os result, and for my family to be healthy and safe always. Well it's been such a long time since I went there, so going there was like a little memory trip for me as well.

Then went to shop a little while in which I met my primary school friend, Wina and chatted for a while as well. And then headed home and spent the rest of the day at home.

Oh well, let me do like a summary of my holiday here. I feel that my holiday here gone quite a little bit more quickly than my holiday last year. It's both a bad and a good thing, unlike last year in which I had, I can say, the most boring holiday here cause I literally did nothing much. But at least this year (or last year, which means it's last last year holiday that I'm talking about) I have more activities and thus my holiday is better I suppose.

And I did lots of trips, fun trips as well. Like the Plabuan Ratu trip, the Bandung trip, Jakarta trip with Wendy and more. I wish I could go to more places but well, didn't have the chance yeah. Hopefully I'll have more chances during my next long holiday which I don't know when.

Anyway I'm not feeling as sad as I used to feel to go back to Singapore tomorrow cause firstly, I'm eager to see my results, in an ironical way of being scared to see it too. Secondly, I can't wait to start my new year in SP, and thirdly, I miss my friends bad... So can't wait to see them again when I return.

Alright I guess that's all for today and my holiday trip here. It's a happy, meaningful, fruitful, not so happy days, great, and not so great trip all mixed up together like a pot of soup. And now a new year is waiting ahead of me. Hopefully the new year will be a much better year as compared to the last few years yes. And hopefully my O Level result will be what I hoped for. Ciao!

Time surely flies. It does.

Tuesday 5 January 2010

Bandung!

Hello people! I knew it, today was such a great day cause I went to Bandung! And seriously had a great, shopping spree! Bought so many things and went to so many places to... Shop haha! Well thankfully this trip is a fruitful one! I got all the things I needed (not wanted okay mwahaha)

Set off at 8.30 A.M. (which we planned to leave on like 7.30...) and reached Bandung at around 11. Fast eh? Then headed to my sis' BF house to fetch him cause he's like our tour guide that brought us to the places we want to go, he knows Bandung really well :)

Well let's skip the shopping and travelling part and let me tell you what I get haha.

1) 2 pairs of shoes
And this is like a "finally" things cause I was not able to find my size, I'm really growing and growing!

2) 3 pairs of 3/4 pants
Love them! Like finally new 3/4 pants haha,

3) 2 pairs of long pants (one is like both long and 3/4)
Need em, badly. Cause I've been like wearing 3/4 most of my time.

4) 2 shirts
One is a normal shirt, another a "traditional" shirt but I love it!

5) Gifts for my friends!
Surprise surprise :D

Okay that's the shopping part yeah. Then we went to fetch my cousins for dinner together at this place which like overlooks Bandung. They have the like BEST perkedel (AKA fried mashed potato) that I have ever tasted so far. It's soft, salty, savoury and nice! Usually perkedel are bland which is bad. And they have a hot kicking chilli as well.

Then we sent them home and then my sis BF home and then we headed back to my house! It was quite a short ride, 1 and a half hour I think. And I fell asleep for a while but then couldn't sleep anymore after that. I don't know why haha.

Alright that's all for today and my trip to Bandung. It was a fruitful one, where I am able to get things that I want and I get em quite smoothly as well. Thanks to my sister and her BF for accompanying me to shop! And for accompanying me to the trip. See ya and ciao!

I think shopping in Bandung is better than shopping in Jakarta?

Monday 4 January 2010

Suffering

One day I will, find that freedom.
Freedom, sometimes people treat it as a joke, or they are too confident about having it.

Hello people, hmm today was a good day in the afternoon. A bad day in the evening I suppose. I don't feel like telling what happened on the evening. lemme just tell you what happened during the day eh?

Well hmm went to eat lunch outside with my sister, and did a little shopping as well for my Bandung trip tomorrow because you know we need drinks and stuff so yeah. And we also went to accompany her friend to buy her blackberry! And she's getting one soon as well, my sis I mean.

And as for what happened in the evening, I shall let my ramblings sort of tell you how I feel.

You know sometimes I ask myself why am I leading this kind of life. Why do I lead this life while others lead their lives. Why in some parts of my life I felt so insecure and so unfair that why must this happen to me, that kind of thing? Why must I do this and that and such?

And sometimes I wonder to myself, why does eveyone think about money? Where all I need is anything enough to satisfy my hunger and give me a shelter to give me warmth? Sometimes I wonder isn't it happier to live a simple life, where you don't need money as long as you're happy, rather than a good life with lots of money but you are suppose to face hardships?

Perhaps money IS the root of all evil. You know, like as if the more money you have the more trouble you'll meet? Money will make you happy, but it does make you feel so sick too. With problems. I don't need money, all I need is happiness, joy, and the taste of freedom in life. But well, what can I say? This is my life and I have no choice but to live it.

But I want to make a promise that one day, I will find what I want to find in life, even though I'm leading this life.

Sigh, so many things happening in my life. No one knows but I feel that I'm inwardly tortured within me, because of me. Cause I kept thinking of things and worrying and this and that. I'm living in the silence that no one hears. But well...

Okay that's all for today. Today may be a bad day for me, but I'm sure tomorrow will be a much better day. And God, I hope that the next few days, or my last few days of my holiday here will be a great and much better day than today as well too. Thank you.

I'm living in a silence, that no one hears.


Sunday 3 January 2010

Silence

Road to nowhere.
Feeling weird. I wanna go to such roads.

Hello people! Right, today was a... Very quiet day I suppose. And I did nothing much as well... So well it was rather boring, except for the evening part. And since I didn't blog yesterday, I shall tell what I did yesterday, today.

Well yesterday was quite a sunny day, which was great! After it's been like raining here almost everyday. But it still rained in the evening. Went to accompany my sis to buy a new phone for her, cause her phone was rather faulty. And then played futsal wth my bro and sis' boyfriend and my dad's workers. Well... It was a draw 5 vs 5 and I scored 2 goals! (Was in my dad's workers team)

That was the major happenings yesterday. Today was as I said I quiet day because my sister has returned to Singapore but just for 4 days to take some test. Then when she's back here, it's my turn to return to Singapore. Time sure does fly right?

Today went to eat out with my sis and her friend and boyfriend. And then did a little bit shopping as well. Not really shopping but more of buying stuff like DVD player cause ours spoilt. And buy some cable extension for my sis' room cause like our cables are running here and there. And we did some tidiyng up as well.

And in the evening we BBQ-ed together with my dad, sis and my maids. It's been such a long time since we BBQ-ed together. Well sadly my sis and mum were not there cause they went to the airport.

Well it's kind of weird to know that I only have like 4 days left here and that's all for my long holiday. But oh well, what can I do and what can I say. The results are waiting for us... And we're waiting for them. And these days, I'm feeling this like "weird" feeling. Like you know when we finished an exam, we have that "finished exam" feeling and when we are about to have exam we have that "exam coming" feeling.

I do have that "I'm going back" feeling but it feels weird. Maybe it's the fact that I'm going back... To see my results! And to start my new year in SP as well. Perhaps the "I'm going back" feeling, together with the "I'm seeing my results" feeling and with the "I'm starting a new life in SP" feeling = weird feeling? Most probably so.

Okay don't bother if you don't understand. Anyway I guess that's all for today. I'm really looking forward to my Bandung trip on Tuesday. Wee, another road trip, another journey. Love it. Okay then that's all so see ya!

What you think is who you become.

New year


A new beginning to a new year. Like a sunrise.
Sunrise, begins a new day. Like how a year begins its first day.

Hello people! Today is the first day of 2010. To me it's a very quiet day haha, since my cousins have all returned to Jakarta. So now it's only left with me and my sisters and brother and parents. But anyway, it's a sunny day today so it was rather warm, and not the usual cold. But I have flu.. Arrgh

Well today went to accompany my mum and sis to shop for clothes. Didn't buy any cause I'll be going to Bandung next week to hunt for clothes and shoes! Yay. Then went for a little grocery shopping and to stock up on my instant noodles inventory in Singapore mwahaha.

And today was a tiring and sleepy day too. I slept from like 7 to 9.30. Perhaps it was the medicine effect that I ate in the afternoon. Yeah, damn the flu. I've been sneezing like crazy and snorting like madly and my nose is blocked as well. Hope it will go away soon.

Well it's a new year, a new beginning perhaps. Hopefully it will be a good one ahead in SP and yup. I'm really eager to start my new year in SP, and... Seeing my results. Well it's again an irony of life. I wanna see it and yet I fear it. Oh well hopefully my results will be what I hope for and it will be good of course!

Okay that's all for the first day of 2010, hope my days in 2010 will get better and better. Same goes for you! Okay see ya and ciao

The results, in about 10 days. Gosh

2010 here I come

Happy New Year 2010 again!

Firstly...

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! MAY 2010 BE A GREAT YEAR FOR YOU!

Anyway yeah happy new year to everyone out there in SEA region or so haha, since the timing is about the same. 2009 had gone and now it's time to welcome 2010. Another year gone, another year waiting to be unfold, another year waiting to be ventured.

Well it feels so weird that another had gone so quickly! 365 days gone like a breeze, gone like a wind blowing over me. And then another year now lays in front of me, and whether it will go like another breeze, I don't know.

Well I've decided to do like a year-review. What and how 2009 is for me. So... Long post!

January:
New year, new beginning, an important year for me. The Os, my last year in Tanglin, my last SYF, and more. The last chapter of my secondary school year for me. I could still remember Ms Manjit scaring us about the number and facts about the Os, and Mrs Lee giving us the new timetable. Whew...

Feruary - April:
Not much happening but.. SYF. Been training like crazy for SYF Central Judging for Concert Band 2009 with the two songs: La Storia and Overture Number One for Wind Bands. Well we got a bronze, but I feel that I don't care about the medal, all I care is the experience and the joy of playing music.

May:
Mugging and studying real hard for SA1 and Chinese O Level June paper. The results I received was really shocking and not pleasing at all. I wasn't happy with the fact that I fell from 4th to 10th. And it's a wake up call for me.

June:
2 weeks of extra classes, and a week spent to Sweden and Norway! It was one of the most unforgettable travel trip I've had. And spent another week in SC camp. This was my first time not going back to Indo for a long holiday.

July - August:
Many things happened here. O Levels Chinese and English Oral. Which I think I did quite well. Gotten a B4 and merit for Chinese Os June paper. And I decided to join SP through DPA and I am accepted into SP's Biomedical Course through DPA for next year. Very very happy to hear this.

September - October:
Most intensive studying part of the year because it's less than a month away from Os. It's really scary but it was one of the most exciting part of my school life. Especially with the studying I did with my friends in the library.

26th October - 13th November:
THE Os. My last war, my last battle, my last fight of my secondary school life. It was well... Mixed with different feelings about it. Regretted not doing so well for them as I couldn't do some questions. Results waiting...

16th November - December:
Freedom! Liberta! Finally freed from Os and the studying. All I could do then was to wait for the result to approach me (which I am still waiting now too!). Had holidays back in my hometown. Pretty bored at times when I'm alone. But it was beautiful when my cousins arrived.

And that was my year review for 2009. I would say it's a beautiful year for me, since it was my last year in Tanglin and I was fighting with the Os too. Very memorable and I've learnt so much things. It's a year that I hope I won't forget. But it does have some of its hiccups and bad things happening but.. Lets forget that.

Had a blast on New Year's Eve with my cousins. We went to barbecue meats and kang kung and more. Then played with fire sparkles and we burnt our "regrets for 2009" and made our wishes for 2010. And watch some TV shows as well.

Okay that's all for last year. And now lets welcome 2010 together with smiles on our faces alright. Let the past go, and welcome the future and put up a brave soul alright! We shall make 2010 a better year than 2009 yes. Okay see ya!

Goodbye 2009, welcome 2010.
