HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
hope all of you get lotsa red packets! =P

i'm missing reunion dinner. i love family dinners. the feeling is so warm n cozy. no more of that for now =( i just had a video convo with my family. omg. its so noisy n happy there...my uncle even brought his dog over to bai nian. haha. i wish i was there. everyone was like talking at the same time la. i miss the noise, considering how its dead quiet here.

haha. i'm reminiscing of the times in s'pore. realised i didn't blog bout the day before i fly. we went to play CS for the last time. so funny. huijuan was screaming as usual and making me all excited. and ganther is always sneaking up on us. den huijuan say he's so sneaky. and there's once i came face to face with the enemy. u noe its really exciting cos u still have a 50/50 chance of killing him. THEN i ran out of bullets, and i was like so gan jiong that i said "SHIT NO BATTERY!!!" lol. so we were screaming and shooting and laughing. super fun.

my cousins are so nonsensical. i was starving yest bcos i could hardly down anything for lunch. we were eating and fel suddenly recited one two buckle my shoes. then, she couldn't rmb all the lines so she came of with her very own rendition of it. i'll see if i can remember it, but its so funny i think i got it stuck in my head...its like,

one two buckle my shoes
three four shut the door
five six you're so sick
seven eight you've got aids
nine ten BE A MAN
eleven twelve go to hell
thirteen fourteen eat a muffin
.
.
.
LOL. yes she even tried to go up to 20. the rest was even more senseless. totally crazy. we were laughing so much instead of eating that i was full from air.

tsk. i wonder what everyone's up to back home. shld be busy collecting red packets. haha. well, not talking to them for a few days feels like weeks/years/months...i'm so friend sick. =(

first day jitters!
actually it was not too bad. the teachers are nice, and we call them by their name. in accounting class we can just go to the washroom w/o asking, and if i'm not wrong it applys to the other classes as well. but so far i haven't walked out of classes yet, bcos it feels kinda weird to not ask. maybe next time when i'm really urgent i'll try. heh. first lesson was math, majority's australians. on my left is angela aka apple frm hongkong, diagonally left is kenneth frm china(but he doesn't seem too china), in front of me is jacob, who changed seats suddenly n whose head prevented me frm seeing the teacher. so during math i really only rely on my ears. feels weird hearing someone speaking but not being able to see him. haha. on my right is this really pretty girl, but i can't spell her name. and there's another pretty girl sitting somewhere in front. (FYI there are no hunks. HAHA. huijuan if u're reading this i bet u're feeling disappointed for me.)
and then kenneth's in my elacs class as well. and he wore GOLD shoes. haha, totally blinding. luckily he wore more normal basketball shoes today.
i think my econs teacher is nice. but i feel like his words are muffled by his moustache or something. haha. haven made a good friend in that class. =(
and i hope i'll do okay in info systems cos i'm a COMPUTER IDIOT. lol. but we get to go to comp lab every lesson! and while we pronounce data as DAY-ta, they say it as DA-ta.
and aft accounts was lunch break, which i quite dislike although i love eating, cos i dont really haf anyone to sit wif. so i asked the angmoh girl beside me if i can sit wif her. den she went to buy chips, while i realised i forgot to bring my wallet. suddenly i didn't feel like sitting wif her anymore. and i saw noko at the door, so i just walked out on the angmoh girl!!! how rude can i get la. i did quite alot stupid things on the first day.
today my class starts at 1050. jealous? haha. but i went early anyway, to check some stuff for my cousin, and went to use comp at the library. and it was still very early, but alot ppl were already outside the class. sam's in quite a few of my classes, but we didn't speak at all until today. lol. den at lunch(my greatest fear), i sat wif a grp of girls frm hongkong, and i couldn't really talk much la. like wad could i say? only when vivienne's fren ask, "tong hak ah?" den i said yup, i'm her classmate. i think she was quite surprised i understood. n my lunch was pretty much eaten in silence, so sad man. then it was ELACS(eng class), but it really feels like geog. we had to fill in the map of aust n stuff like dat. sat wif sam again. den he rmb alot ans frm geog class so i copied alot of his answers. haha. i think he's dat kinda class joker la, cos when introducing his partner, he said "lionel's 24" when he's obviously not and the guy looked really really shocked. haha. and he tried to say australia's in the northern hemisphere n gave alot silly answers. den he was playing wif his wallet and he asked, "u wanna see pretty girl?" den he flash a photo of him n his gf for like 1 sec, and he has dat cheeky grin. funny guy. he impressed us all when we found out he played in golf tournaments n he's not a bad player. yar, he's the only person dat talks this much bcos i dont really noe much bout the others.

| Friday, January 27, 2006 |

oh my. i'm so touched to see some ppl have blogged about yesterday at the airport. i hope they will continue to miss me =P cos i will miss them PLENTY.

i think i must have cried for abt an hour. when i turned my back to leave my friends, i had to look up to stop the tears frm falling. then the lady who checked my passport kept looking at me la. tsk. i thought that i will be late, so i walked very extremely fast. but once i stopped walking, i felt like crying again. while they were checking the baggage, i looked at this angmoh girl. then she told her bf something. he said poor thing, and she said, "but i still dont understand why they have to go." yeah, i dont know why either. seriously, if someone asked me why, i'd still be stumped. i cant seem to find the answer to that question. had to sit there for awhile before they opened the gates..so much for hurrying.
when i boarded the plane, i had to walk a long long way in. i bumped into a lady with my huge bag of pressies. so i said sorry and she said, "its okaye love." and i thought i wouldn't cry anymore. BUT after i found my seat and settled down, i decided to open a letter. omg, my vision blurred. den after i managed to stop crying, i thought to myself..maybe i shld read something frm the guys, afterall they cant be that sentimental and they wouldn't make me cry like girls can. i read dustin's card. huge mistake. i teared as well. after that, i didn't have the courage to open anymore letters cos' the lady bside me was looking. i think she then felt obliged to be nice to me cos i was so sad. then the plane pulled away frm the aiport and i felt sick in the stomach. i had the urge to run and jump off the plane. aft one hr of staring out the window and trying to dry my tears, i decided to watch a movie to chase depression away. i watched in her shoes. turns out they update all their movies and i couldn't find sin city=( (but qantas is still the best to take, their service is like superb) 3hrs passed. then i listened to memoirs of a geisha. the reader read in this japanese accent. but i was SO TIRED mentally n physically(only slept 2hrs the day before) that i fell aslp even before she learnt to bcome a geisha. when i woke up, they served ice cream, chocolates were part of the meal too. but i still felt horrible. nearing landing, the TV was switched off. so i thought i was feeling brave enough to read the other letters. i started crying again. wth. so i boarded and alighted the plane with red swollen eyes.
waited a while for my uncle to pick me up. had to go straight to their cafe cos it was AUSTRALIA DAY and they were really busy. i opened the remaining letters and bawled my eyes out. was so darn tired i went to slp in the car. my cousin woke me and i could barely make out wad she was saying, but anw, i got outta the car. we went to watch the fireworks. i told michelle, "so this is where all the govt's money goes to." cos the fireworks lasted for abt 45mins i tink. but it was spectacular. but after everything ended, everyone just automatically n routinely walked away. mich n fel said their lives were so damn boring. but they were very patriotic. i asked if they were siao, cos they wrapped the flag ard themselves. some guys even went half naked n painted their bodies n faces. they dyed their hair the flag colour even. and they were very enthu n HIGH bout their national day, something u'd never see in s'pore. and throughout the day they would go whooping n cheering on the streets. and it goes like this, "aussie aussie aussie!" reply:"oie oie oie!" LOL. many ppl came to the cafe for supper. gosh. i helped abit. the feeling was not exactly unfamiliar but it just felt strange la. i served this lady and she said "thank you" , and i had to say "no worries". and things like, "here's your change. thank you and have a nice day!" ok, its not weird but plus the accent, it just felt weird. like so fake la. i jus cant bring myself to be so warm suddenly. i guess thru tis whole thing i'm being forced to do lotsa things i wouldn't have done. we closed at 10plus and cleaned up n reached home at 11. i was really tired bcos back in s'pore, i nv felt tired until 2am. but i slept at 12 last nite.
luckily today, i didn't have to go to the cafe, so i can write this super long entry. there's hardly space for me to put my stuff, so i didn't have to unpack. anw i jus saw on the news that many ppl got drunk last nite n there were fights. then they showed tis person who lost his teeth n was bleeding. wth. so scary la. the ppl here get drunk VERY OFTEN. so dangerous.

i wonder if anyone thinks i'm very silly to leave bhind everything n everyone i've known for so long. bcos i feel rather foolish. i must have overlooked things. but its not in my character to be insensitive, so i dont know why but i actually used to feel that everyone was busy mugging n caring bout themselves instead of others. as julia said, i value relationships. but back then, i felt that no one really cared. so i didn't feel like i belong. and i wanted to know ppl's reaction if i disappeared frm the face of the earth. but i feel so sick now. well, maybe this is just god's way of letting me see that i actually have so many ppl who cares for me. its a pity i didn't see it earlier. i think everyone shld cherish their friends like there's no tomorrow n tell them they love them! =)

my cousin's were looking at the photos i brought. fel loves the fish eye effect photo. i dont know wad its really called la. fel is SO funny. last nite at the cafe, she told us this indian guy ordered prawns. den he wanted to order for his wife too. so he asked her if she wants. and she said "OK" while shaking her head. (jus imagine how indians talk n move their heads at the same time) den fel tried to imitate. so cute la. den she said she donno if the wife wanted cos she say OK but shook her head. LOL. my cousins can crap ALOT. fel said if they wanted the fireworks to be really spectacular they shld fire it till it hits the moon, then moon pieces will fall to earth. i said, oh, then like got cheese falling frm the sky izzit? totally crap la.

i dont know if i'm looking forward to sch or dreading it. but i dont have a choice do i? so far, i'm doing okaye. but there are things that i've got to get use to.
1) at night, its so quiet its like a graveyard. and u'll get this whirring sound in ur ears. falling aslp wasn't easy bcos i kept hearing "nnnnngggggggggg"
2) when u lie flat, trying to fall slp, ur stomach makes noises like its hungry but u're actually not. it just well, make noises.
3) i dont noe if its just me, but i feel kinda bloated. like ur stomach jus goes wrong. no wonder the last time my sis's bf was saying, "come here everyday need to pang sai." LOL.
4) they dont really say thank you, they replace it with "no worries"
5) at the cafe, when the customers want something, some of em will call "oiee" but ours is fourth sound. theirs is first sound in hanyu pinyin. sounds so floaty. haha.
6) they dont really say bye. whether they'll see each other or not they'll say, see ya later.

so i also wanna say this to all my friends. SEE YA LATER! bcos this is not goodbye~
hai. i'm already missing everyone badly. rmb to keep in touch ok? LOVE YOU ALL! =)

i'm so glad! see, i didn't noe wad to get for my sis on her bdae...so i bought this silver bookmark in the shape of a key. and i know she's very junkie, always buying junk food. so i went to marks n spencer to buy her chips. den i just randomly picked tis ham flavour (cos the words are in PINK! haha) guess wad? when i came back she told me she almost bought THAT too. she wanted to eat but had sorethroat. haha. not bad. we've got telepathy. =)

Friday 20 Jan 2006
met up with shihui, jinyu, fongyung n erkee for steamboat @ marina. on my way to meet them, i saw alot caucasians on the mrt. wads the occasion? i'm seeing alot of dem these few days...hm oso said its ang moh day...lol. anw, this guy, i find his dressing very amusing. he was wearing sandals AND socks of this colour combination and he had this red plaid flannel draped over his shoulders. whoa.Fashion Statement. the only time i wore sandals with socks was in perak when we went caving. (happy memories!!!) lol.
yar, back to marina. thankfully it didn't rain. if it wasn't for the sake of food, i really wouldn't sit dere n suffer the torment of hot oil splattering onto me...it hurts! all for the sake of foooood. haha. omg. and the jug of coke had ants in it la. dont noe how many i drank redi. feel like PUKING. =X den we saw a rat run past...but found out its not really a rat. its a field mouse...very much smaller den a rat. but shihui was still very terrified, she had both legs up on the chair. lol. den we played photo hunt. when it started, i was like !!!WAD THE....den we all burst out laughing...cos almost every picture is of some scantily dressed lady. haha. and one of the difference is at the girl's cleavage summore. yeah, i think one of the guys pointed it out. LOL. the person who made tis game must be a big fat PERVERT.
den we played pool. i'm really very lousy la. cant bowl properly, cant play pool properly. lol. sh's aiming was superb! oh yar, me n jy saw the ball move by itself on the table. so scary!!! but i had a really gr8 time. we gossiped alot while eating oso. hahah.

Sunday 22 Jan 2006

oh gosh. was watching american idol while eating dinner. had a good time laughing. i just cant help but wonder why the families of those tone deaf ppl dont ever persuade them against going for the auditions and save them the embarrassment. but then again, without them, the show wouldn't be funny. haha.

okaye. now that i'm still here, let's backtrack to 15Jan. i had lunch with OG17 @ fish n co. the one opposite PS. its supposed to be my farewell lunch. omg~i was so shocked to see so many ppl at the station. like WHOA. almost the entire OG turned up...and we occupied the whole long table. haha i had my big fish drink again. they gave me a present!!! i haven't opened it yet. wanna surprise myself on the plane. haha. i didn't cry. think i have to wait till when i'm at the airport and reality hits me.
i'm darn lousy i think. that day, i haven't seen all my friends yet but i stepped into the airport and my eyes were watery redi. so lousy rite? cant stand myself at times.
anw, we couldn't decide where to go. some wanted to play pool, some guys wanted to play dota(*grrr*) so we stood ard that LOVE sign outside fish n co and spent an awfully long time deciding. then they say let's just go play pool. then it was FULL. so someone mentioned kbox. OH MY~did i tell you michael is just SO enthu bout singing? i so have to tell u his obsession with singing. haha. i didn't know he joined campus superstar! i just had to ask why he din join choir. was quite surprised he found it gay(for a guy who enjoys singing so much) lol. some of the guys even say he's girly. FYI, he's the 14th girl in our OG.(we supposedly have 13 girls n 13 guys)
so in the end they went to fort canning, but i had to go for dinner with my family. ok but the main point is i love OG17! they are such nice ppl! =)

my family n my godmom's went to pasir ris for dinner. oh man, i'm seriously gonna miss the cereal prawns here!!! so yummy! and there's this stupid waiter, a student i think, he doesn't know how to serve at all. he spilled hot sauce on my lil' cousin! and he didn't even apologise properly or offer a cloth or something. everytime he serves a dish his hands are like shaking and he'd spill sauce on the table. i hope he gets FIRED. haha. okaye, i shall stop being mean.
went bowling with my family after dinner. i'm SUPER LOUSY. i lost in both rounds to my sister n brother la. yes, my brother. can u imagine? i haven't played for years already. i think my brother has a knack for it though. hmm...i think he can be a pro bowler next time. not bad. hahas. he has like, 2 strikes while i haf none! omg. it was good fun. haha the way my daddy bowl is so so so (x100) hilarious. u've got to see it. i'm really gonna miss these things we do.

if i'm gonna have to stay at home like this for the rest of my days, i think i'm gonna collect dust & cobwebs, and then finally rot and disintegrate, really. come on ppl, DATE ME! haha. *roll eyes* like anyone would. everyone's busying themselves with something, cept me. urgh!!! ok suddenly i'm craving for steamboat at marina and also teppanyaki..i dont know wad its called...u noe u sit at the table and den watch them cook for you..the jap food. its so yummy ok.

Tuesday, January 17, 2006

okay. while everyone's in bed sleeping soundly after a tiring day, i would like to take this opportunity to say SORRY to all those who turned up at the airport today, bcos their efforts came to naught. and i wanna say a big THANK YOU to them for taking time off to come send me. and THANK YOU for all your gifts as well...each and everyone is unique and special, and will be much appreciated and cherished by me! =)
as for those of you who haven't got the slightest idea of what's going on, my flight's been rescheduled due to some flub. so i'm still in s'pore=) and i was at the check in counter, ready to check my luggage in. so can you imagine my shock when i found out? no, the emotion was nowhere near shock. i dont think there are words to describe it even. its shock, panic, disbelief, happiness, disappointment all thrown into one. i think its feels like ashdjkhweq...haha yeah pretty much like crap. i seriously didn't know if i was supposed to cry or smile. for a moment my mind was like blank, then "shucks what am i supposed to do now"...but i think, maybe the big guy up there knows that i have some unfinished business here, like wad jy say, maybe there's something i haven't done so i couldn't leave. yeah i think so too. i can't help but think its a sign, bcos there were so many obstacles along the way, like how i lost my referral letter at a crucial moment, and now my visa is not approved. know what? i think i think too much.
so for those of you who are pissed off and are like thinking, "darn! what a waste of time!" (especially for those of u who rushed down frm sch) and if you feel really cheated, do flood my tagboard, but not with profanities pls. =)
sad thing is, my flight's on 26Jan in the MORNING. 910am. bummer. that means most of my frens wont be able to make it bcos its a sch day. =(
aw...i wont get to feel like a celebrity anymore. hah.
gosh, i feel like sucha failure. bcos there were diff grps of ppl and i didn't noe how i'm supposed to entertain everybody all at once. so after a long long time, we all went to BK to sit and talk. then we decided to head to julia's hse, shihui, fongyung, jinyu, erkee, carena, zhili and i. oh man, i haven't seen them for eons. feels good to meet up with them again. =) friday we're going marina for steamboat!!! one of my fav. things to do..haha. i love eating! hope nothing crops up and that everyone can go. thursday, going kbox-ing wif JSH. yes! i'm so excited! i'm really missing it lots. gonna sing our lungs out. haha. i hope hm wld haf found her voice by then.
i'm shagged. today's by far the earliest i'm turning in. yeah early, its approx. 2am now. now, i have lotsa gifts sitting ard. am i supposed to open them now? nah. think i'll leave them for when i'm on the plane. now i'll have the time to perfect my gifts for my frens. was in a hurry so everything was kinda slipshod. i even wrote a letter in the car cos i couldn't decide what i shld write. and my handwriting was so bumpy. haha.
just now while walking home frm jul's, i felt totally WRONG. like, i should be on the plane alr (and by now i would have landed) not that i'm dying to go. its just that i took quite awhile to prepare myself for this and now its as if someone's playing a stupid joke on me. oh yeah, jul is real sweet. she n i read each other's letter on the bus and she cried la. gave her a big hug. we both wrote each other poems and mentioned some similar things. haha. great minds thnk alike!
oh man. super duper exhausted. *lights out*

Saturday, January 14, 2006

yay! NO MORE rainy days. so scared it will keep raining and then later the plane got turbulence. and everytime the plane dips my stomach will sink and the kids will scream. horrible feeling. *TOUCHWOOD*
yesterday went to meet the girls at dhoby ghaut. board the same train as jenny cos she managed to float to the mrt station very quickly and caught the train i'm on. then we sat on the floor...took some photos n videos while waiting for the rest. we bought takeaways and sat outside on the floor to eat. ate noodle omelette. (sigh...thinking about how i'll miss the food again...) then we went to SSC to play pool. met quite a few zhonghuarians there coincidentally. shukman still plays funny. hahas she's really very very entertaining. i'll miss watching her play. huijuan looks very serious when playing. (donno real or fake...lol) how come it is only now that we'll do stuff that we've never wanted to do before? going to JC really changes ppl...and i'm pretty afraid of changes.

as for today...i think its a pretty good day =) cept for the fact that i've only got 1 and a half days left in s'pore. =( watched THE DARK. if u have not watched the show...please dont watch it. i dont think its worth it. and i don't really understand the story either. lol. and its not bcos i'm dumb ok...cos apparently the person next to me didn't understand the story either. =P
i haven had this feeling for a long long time. please dont tell me what it is. what PERFECT timing. hopefully i'll be able to forget all about it. sigh.

haven seen my baby cousin for an awfully long time. i'm so gonna miss him.
these are pictures i took today. he shld win the cutest baby award.

look at that face~haha. he's wayyyy adorable.
everytime i open my hp and i see this picture on the screen...i feel like laughing...lol.

Thursday, January 12, 2006

today i went to town with gen! we met at orchard mrt. (its a good place to wait for ur frens if u wanna get talented scouted...LOL) anw, i told her i'd only window shop today...cos i'm kinda broke la. we went to Sakura Cuisine for lunch. in the end i did splurge a little, bought a denim shorts n puma pencil case ONLY and it seemed like i spend so much. like my $$ just went *POOF* gone. gosh. guilty guilty. anw i really have this phobia that i'm not gonna survive in aust. they dont have far east! they dont have food like singapore's! they dont have famous amos!(i think) and i wont have friends like those i have here! it really sucks la...they wont even have those cute knick knacks that's everywhere in far east...and they'll never be able to offer the kind of variety s'pore has. shitty shit. DIE...i'm already rejecting it before my life there even begins. just tell me how on earth am i gonna survive la.
i think it might be a good idea to make ur brolly ur bestest friend bcos the rain JUST WONT STOP. argh! this so so mood spoiling.
and this is how i'm feeling at this particular instant...

如果你不再出现
我的世界还有什么可贵
可惜不够时间
让我们试验什么叫永远

想念变成怀念
心动变成心碎
偏偏还会关切
你最后属于谁

我的天空今天有点灰
我的心是个落叶的季节
我不知道如何度过今夜
所有的灯早已经全都熄灭

S.H.E-天灰

yest we intended to go eat SAKAE sushi. me, huijuan, jibin, jenny, huimei, shukman. but we forgot its public holiday...and they dont have buffet. =( so we settled for fish n co. omg~one serving is kinda HUGE. but i think the wooden fish 'place mat' is cute, and they serve in a BIG pan. quite creative la. and we ordered 2 BIG FISH DRINK. lol. i love the sea monkey drink! now i never really gave much thought as to why its called fish n chips. until i rmb that in aust, they also refer to fries as chips. but chips mean FAT fries while fries mean, well, fries. so troublesome. there's so many things i've got to get accustomed to.

after eating we went book browsing at BORDERS. i so love the colourful fanciful beautiful notebooks!!! so pretty...but the price was very pretty oso...haha. couldn't find the book that i wanted.=( but anw i bought "vanishing acts" by Jodi Picoult. hope its interesting. but there were sooo many books with very nice covers! especially cecelia ahern's "If You Could See Me Now". almost bought it, but as they say, never judge a book by its cover.
then we went to lucky plaza to play pool. i didn't know there's a pool place in there..i've never even been in there before...cos it looks really ulu. i was surprised to see so many levels inside...but there's alot of foreigners. prolly cos the stuff there is cheap. oh and the place where we played pool looks really eerie. the lightings are blue, and it reminded me of those kind of horror shows, like saw2 or somethin. the place really gave me the creeps. but we had lotsa fun!!! u really have to see shukman at the pool table...she's a real entertainer...hahas. now all the girls are picking up pool and getting addicted to it cos of their OGs. which reminds me that i'm prolly never ever gonna have the chance to play pool with them and have good laughs again. =(
this is so saddening. and the rain spell isn't making it any better.

Tuesday, January 10, 2006

today has been an EXTREMELY embarrassing day for me. its either i lack sleep or i had too many things going on in my head. anw i was supposed to go up the escalator after coming out of the mrt. and...i tried to go UP on an escalator that's going DOWN. like how dumb can i get? i was stunned for awhile, then started cursing under my breath and scrambled to get off the escalator. and the worst part was that the mrt hadn't gone off yet and the WHOLE WORLD SAW MY STUPID ACT. u haf absolutely no idea how horrified i was. i think it shall be NO.1 on my list of embarrassing moments.

jenny will be glad to know the radiation didn't kill me. the x-ray was like over in just 2secs. like BLINK...ok its done! nor were there blood thirsty vampires who wanted my blood for some test. haha. (jen~thanks for ur lame jokes! lame but it chased away my fear...lol.) this whole thing is so troublesome. if only someone had told me...i really wouldn't have made such a rash decision. what a hectic life i have now. just wish i can enjoy the very last week in s'pore with no worries=)

was supposed to pack my luggage. well i did pack a lil'...so my mom would quit nagging. but i ended up looking thru' all of ZH magazines. its really amazing how much ppl can change. on the inside n outside. had a few good laughs bout how nerdy we all looked...lol. you know how sometimes it seems like u've forgotten everything, and u're afraid to let go of those memories you hold so dear...i think everything's just somewhere in some part of my head. looking thru the yrbk really helps bring back memories. like those silly immature crushes n infatuations=P and the art fun day page, where they haf this photo of lyly n lyna looking good in the costumes...sorta brings back memories of us making the costume. it was such fun. but i forgot if we contributed much bcos all i rmb most clearly is playing wif her adorable brother and those yummy meals at her place.lol.

anw the most impt thing of this entry is...
LOOK WHAT JULIA BOUGHT FOR ME!!!
aren't those gloves pretty? and i can wear them two ways...how cool is that.
and they're my fav colour combi too! its so nice!!! i love her to bits! i'm gonna wear them every winter. haha=)
btw, that photo's taken on our first day to SA!

SA orientation 06` was FUN FUN FUN=)

DAY ONE- 3rd Jan Tuesday
the first day was kinda boring cos there was alot administration stuff. as usual, there was icebreaker n other games. we played the memory game, like mus rmb all the names n i'm sitting near the end of the circle...but the last one's still worse=P den the girls n guys very segregated...cos mostly come frm all girls/all boys sch. den i heard Tsura say his name, sounds like Zi-Ra. and we were like wad kind of name is dat??? but when i saw the contact list i found out he's jap but s'porean...Tsurayuki. dont ask me to spell his full name, but very RAH RAH one. so cool rite? hahas. our OGL is weiyun, den her surname is very special...PONG! den the guys keep making fun of her. cos the other OGLs oso call her pong...she's super nice la. i'm in OG 17! which is our age tis yr. i find it amusing...cos jus when i thought cancerians were very rare, i was soon surrounded by some 20 plus cancerians bcos they organised us by our IC no. maybe so we all can click better? our tribe is IVANA and our mascot is the BANANA. lol.

DAY TWO-4th Jan Wednesday
morning assembly was weird, as in it's so different frm ZH. when the person say, "Good Morning Saints, my name is Joel." den everyone have to reply "Good Morning Joel." den we say prayer den AMEN. and we played C.S.I..something like treasure hunt...den mus collect clues. and we had to guess who is the murderer in the skit...but in the end we didnt even know who is which character and it was so confusing. and for captain's ball we played using cabbage.lol. den got alot leaves on the floor. and it got smaller n smaller n smaller size, den it sort of disintegrated and disappeared in the middle of the game. LOL. and i caught the kiwi and it went like SQUISH in my hand..den all the juice came out...haha. got oranges n rambutan too. we chose the BA KUA cheer for our grp. funny...we only had dat cheer so everywhere we go...we only did that cheer. I think all the OGLs oso tired of hearing it redi.
who dares to mess with us
will be BA KUA(x2)
neh neh neh neh neh neh~~
who dares to mess with us
will be PRATA(x2) (we add ourselves one...lol)
neh neh neh neh neh neh~~
ohhhhh 17!!!
(got actions too...love the neh neh neh part...hahas.)
den we had MASS DANCE! learnt the Lindy Hop. so funny. this is the FIRST TIME i've seen ppl like myself and other zhonghuarians come alive and bcome so enthu like never before. i think SA must haf cast a spell on everyone. hahas. while the principal meet the christians, we played mass games in the hall. it was hilarious. when the OGLs say START! den everyone ran towards the exit to avoid getting caught. lols. den we squeeze towards the exit n there was a major jam dere. during tribe time we were told that we'll be doing banner with OG18...huimei's grp. and i got to see her very often...hahas. okaye, the SAS boys sang the college hymn monotone...and all i can rmb bout the sch song is "Up and On, Up and On" that part sounds funny. =P

DAY THREE-5th Jan Thursday
we did CIP! yupps...that fast. its called SAINTS CONNECTION. anw we had to collect newspapers. my grp ended up collecting a pathetic amount of newspapers frm ONE household only bcos no one opened the door. den for mass dance we learnt an indian dance, but it's a super duper cool indian dance. i think its called CHORI CHORI...it was so FUN that we wanted to do it over n over n over again. lol. and i will gladly dance it for u cos we had a really good time. the song was so cute. den its JUNGLE WARFARE!!! haha...but nope, i din see any jungle anywhere. one of the games involved a RAW SQUID, and flour and papaya and watermelon. budden we din get to play that. the water bombing part was crazy. after everything, we practiced our tribe cheer. the guys din wanna do the hollerback cheer...they wanna do SPONGEBOB. and they shouted the AYE AYE CAPTAIN, I CANT HEAR YOU! reminded me of wc and e4's cheer. i jus donno wads wif guys and their obsession wif spongebob. lol. then went to MACs wif my OG. the guys were so open la...keep talking dirty. i asked if they are deprived bcos all boys sch. and we tried to tink of a new cheer, but they keep sidetracking by making dirty jokes again. but they were super funny la.

DAY FOUR-6th Jan Friday
today i made it to sch in time for tribe cheer and painting the banner. we did our banner the survivor style. and for our identity we had to wear yellow ponchos, cut it in the front and tie a bow at the back. the cut off part i used to tie my hair. and we had a whistle and a yellow card. den we had to go to the Cultural Centre for skit. We won for the skit!!! though i dont know why, they prolly pity us la...haha. den we went to the hall to cheer and soon after it was DISCO NIGHT! they off the lights and there were coloured lights on the ceiling. its a pity the music was a tad too soft n we couldn't hear the lyrics. but it was like a rock concert! everyone jus jumped up and down like nobody's business. jumped ard in a circle...ppl break danced...screamed and cheered. it was SO HOT in there. i almost suffocated. hahas. everyone perspired alot and was drenched...abit disgusting but we had the time of our life!!! haha madness. wad a great finale. den we went to PS long john..waited for our OGL to come...and they were closing the shutters redi la...was so scared they'd close us in..but the uncle was super nice. den we sat in the middle of nowhere cos all the shops were closed...chatted abit and was chased out by the security guard. lol. by the end of the whole thing, the guys had bcome very talkative. and they came up wif this ping pong cheer for our OGL cos of her surname. so rubbish. lol. oh and they were very sweet, bcos they only know me for a few days and kept asking me not to go to aust...i got a grp hug frm them when we said our goodbyes...they're so nice!!!

today i set foot into SAV...
and i experienced the new campus of my dream sch, which i daydreamt of being in, which motivated me during the O levels period.
and i saw up close the uniform that i fell in love with at first sight.
and i found that everything turned out just the way i expected it to be (the principal, the teachers, everything.)
the teachers(most, i can say)are really YOUNG.
and today's the first time i've seen st hilda's uniform, and shioks thinks dat the skirt resembles some branded goods...and it reminds me of LV.
and today's the first time i've heard of really weird/funny/special/uncommon names, like 'Steiner'.
and today's the first time my face was like millimeters away from shukman's face! haha. silly mass game...i almost kissed shioks (shukman i'm so sorry but i didn't mean to scare you!!!) when we had to place our ear on the red tape...couldn't stop shaking from laughter. it was like *scream scramble scramble* i just grabbed huimei's hand n ran like mad bcos i din wanna do forfeit...haha. so many sexy butts on stage. lol.
so while they were talking bout the subjects (which is really no business of mine) i thought about how life would be here. if i were to study in SA for real, i'd have to listen to the subject talks(and mayb end up falling aslp), i would have to choose my subjects, i wouldn't have to leave halfway for the appointment, i wouldn't be feeling happy and sad at the same time, and i would no doubt 101% have LOVED the school. i really liked it so much that i forgot about reality.
luckily i found my way to the mrt station. *phew*
and i thought since i'm wasting my time rotting at home anw, why not do something fun instead to stop me frm brooding over things. but when i was on the mrt alone, there's no fun anymore..and i cant help but jus think of all these things i'd be leaving bhind again and i felt so terrible i just wanna cry buckets and prolly use up like ten boxes of kleenex...i'll really really really miss all the ppl i'm leaving bhind too. it gets so shitty sometimes.

BUT i shouldn't be afraid to make more memories.

frens who've seen my brother keep insisting that he is cute and will grow up to be handsome...but i DON'T agree! i just cant seem to convince them how impish he is...and they dont know the tricks he has up his sleeves. he's only being shy infront of strangers. well, maybe that cheeky grin on his face after successfully disturbing someone is cute...hahas. i think he's too skinny though..and i wont be here to fatten him up during his teen years...did i tell you my auntie says that my mom starves us? poor guy, he's having chicken pox now, and i cant rmb it being so ugly...its like having a breakout everywhere...*shudders* but i bet he's happy bcos his holiday is extended. (its all my sister's bf fault, he was the carrier of the deadly contagious disease...and he spread it to my two lil cousins, and then my brother. they're so depressed about not being able to play outside, to the extent that seeing a doctor makes them happy bcos they can step outside the house! i seriously dont think the kids deserve this.)
oh and my brother wears high socks to sch like he's going for some soccer match...hahas.(you still think that is cute?) i dont think he's quite caught on to ankle socks yet although he's currently already very very vain, and he's only 10 going on 11. VAIN bcos he tries to spike his hair but his hair never seems to be able to stay upright. bcos he told my mom that he MUST get this particular kind of sch shoes. you know, something like the converse kind wif one stripe at the bottom. bcos he thinks his previous jacket was ugly and is now loving the adidas jacket he bought in bkk. the only time he ever keeps still is when he plays the piano. and when he had to choose his CCA i told him NOT to join soccer(yar, i have something against it....jus kiddin`) but i didn't really force him bcos he likes bball as well...so GOOD FOR HIM. hahas. i told him he'd better beef himself up or he wont have strength...and i dont wan him looking like a monkey on the court either. hahas. and he comes home and tells me about the matches they play against the older n bigger guys...lol. he once tried to perform some card tricks but i, being smarter, saw through them...hahaha. and he bought some magic gadgets frm thailand...but his hands are still very wobbly. my mom says he's not a good magician...but together we managed to trick our mom and up till now she still doesn't know how this dice trick works. =P
so besides the fact that my brother plays maple story for practically 14hrs EVERYDAY (minus the time he's aslp) besides the fact that he argues back sometimes, besides the fact that he ignores my warnings n laughs mischieviously and proceeds to blast dat crazy frog CD which i absolutely HATE...and besides his jumbo ears, i think i still love my brother, and mayb he does have his cute moments afterall. i just hope he goes to the right secondary sch, mixes with the right kind of frens....blah blah. i hope i dont come back after 4yrs to a very beng-ish brother. NAH~i dont think it'll happen. lols.
Oh My Gosh. was talking to julia online yesterday and she told me a very sweet story. not really a story, but sweet bcos its a true account. she told me some of her church frens were going abroad to study as well. so anw, there's this girl who will be going away, and she's like a reserved gf of this guy, and so he said he'll wait for her, and on his msn nick is 1459 days or something like that, which is 4 yrs!!! sounds familiar? probably seen it before in some drama. i told julia i was about to melt...she said she had goosepimples...lol. doesn't this only happen in movies? like julia said she thought she was viewing a movie..haha. but there's a high possibility bcos they've been together for 2yrs...but anw i told julia i still wanna noe the ending of this fairytale. hahas. (sorry jul, i couldn't help posting bout this cos it's too sweet!)
