today didn't turn out that bad afterall

Ate dinner in science canteen after stats lecture today... Yong Tau Foo with laksa gravy. It tastes horrible. *eeks* Never going to eat that again.

After which went to YIH CBLC to print notes. Dunno why, somehow the printing went wrong... and my print jobs got cancelled. I paid for them already k!!!! *grr* Re-sent my print jobs and I paid for them again.... =(

That's not the end of it... The moment I stepped out of YIH, I saw 3 buses leave. Buses which i could have been on.... ARGH. Today's just not my day, eh?

Met up with sining after that... Was supposed to study but after about one hr of studying, we went off to catch "Howl's moving castle" instead. Nice show... Ok, now i know... If u wanna study, study somewhere with no cinemas... Haha.

Alright, off to do some work now. Tata!

U put a smile on my face

I can't stop smiling.

Ah Po came to my house today. And she doesn't know who I am when she saw me. It may be due to: Firstly, she hasn't seen me in a long time... (haven't been visiting in Segamat since sec sch days, i think) and secondly, my funky hairstyle. Haha.

Went out to study at raffles city bk before meeting zen n kr for dinner. Bumped into Gillian and Kelvin when we were abt to head off for home.

I should go invest in clay. (for my hair, that is)

Haha. Enough of blogging abt my hair. Bleah. U all should be sick of reading abt it by now.

field trip to changi beach

Just got back from a field trip to changi beach for my LSM module (biodiversity). Had quite an enjoyable time there today. Better than the last field trip to the zoo, anyway. At least it didn't rain today! Haha.

Saw lots of animals that i didn't know i could find at a beach. For example, jellyfish, tripod fish, yellow moon crab, flower crab, squid and lots more... Oh, and i saw this gignatic spider... The golden web spider. *eeks*

My TA (teaching assistant) couldn't recognise me in my new haircut!!!! When he saw me standing there, he asked me "Are u from this group?" and i was, like, "huh? yes, i'm from this group. I just cut my hair..." Doink.

Yes yes, today's the first day of sch after mid-term break. (not much of a break, i would say...) Bumped into quite a number of pple that i know in school and received lots of comments on my new haircut. Heh.

Went to sch today in a racerback top, shorts and sandals. Ha. Cos got field trip to beach mah... And i had a presentation in my nature of language tutorial before that. Quite glad that i didn't get thrown out of class. *grinz*

i want to stop coughing!!!!!

*cough cough cough* Someone pls tell me how to stop coughing before i cough my lungs out...

Was coughing non-stop just now on the bus when i was on my way home from school... I think pple might have thought that i have some contagious disease or something. *pouts*

The air stinks of haze... The burning smell is so strong in the air... And my uncle who just came back from the states couldn't smell anything? *ponders*

Today's tuesday already and normal lessons resume on friday?!?!?! *argh* Why does time fly when i don't want it to?

I want to go sentosa! Uncle Chade Meng is thinking of booking a few hotel rooms so all of us can go down and play... *whee* but i still have some work left to be done. Hmm, i shall see how. I really did study today in school. Got to go sch tmr morning for EL project group meeting.

Slept for only about 2 hrs last night... Think i'll head off to bed soon after viewing my online webcast history lecture.

brand new me

Cut my hair on saturday... I love my new haircut!!!! Heh. Positive comments from friends, so far. Except from mum who isn't very happy tat i splurged on my haircut... (in particular, the highlights) Check out my friendster picture for my current hairstyle. Hahaha. I wasn't too happy with the highlights... Thought it would have looked better if the colour is a shade or two lighter.

Went for hj's hall production on saturday. Happen to see quite a number of pple there... *It's a small world, after all... it's a small small world* Saw pk, weizhong (whom i haven't seen and talked to in a long time), darius, ting and henry! haha.

Sharon thinks I'm very brave to cut my hair this short. Heh. Well, i just felt like cutting. So there--> I ended up with this stylo and funky hairstyle.

Uncle Chade Meng, Aunt Cindy and Enya just got back from the States today. When Uncle Chade Meng saw me, he was saying "Wow, u always seem to look different whenever i see u!"

Thanks to sining for bringing me to the salon for my haircut!!!! Heh. *I shall remember our trend-setting promise*

*cough cough cough* i can't stop coughing. The air's really quite bad these few days. And the cough's spreading around, i think. So many pple coughing and having sore and irritated throats...

Went for macritchie for a run this morning with yl. Didn't manage to go on the treetop trail... Nvm, i'll go there again some other day. :)

Off to NEWater treatment plant tmr for my field trip... and going to Changi beach on friday!

Separate Lives

I found the lyrics to kel's solo piece... Here it is... It's such a sad piece... Both the song and the dance... It's one of my favourite pieces in the whole concert.

Beautiful really. In a sad kind of way.

Phil Collins - Separate Lives Lyrics (Stephen Bishop)

You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you'd met
And telling me how sorry you were
Leaving so soon
And that you'll miss me sometimes
When you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
I can't go on, holding on to time
Now we're living separate lives

Well I have learned to let you go
And if you lost your love for me
You never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living separate lives

Ooh, it's so difficult
Love leads to isolation
So you build that wall
So you build that wall
And you make it stronger

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might
Find myself looking in your eyes
But for now,
We'll go on living separate lives

Yes for now,
We'll go on living separate lives
Separate lives...

the end of exxon mobil concert.

a big thank you to all who came down to support me during the exxon mobil concert... u all know who u are... Cindy,Zen, lbandit & #1 msn friend who came down after work, junming & shunmei who missed dinner and came down to watch the show instead (i'm very touched, thank you so much...) , angela, xy, jh, eve, junhao, el, and of cos, yiling (who came down from smu) !!!! Andrew senior came down too...

Was busy taking photos after the perfomance... so didn't really get to sit down and talk to u pple... was running all round the LT and backstage too... Heh. I'll try and post the pictures up... I'm such a computer idiot, i don't even know how to post pictures here on my blog. Haha. Yes, go on and laugh ur head off. :P

Now that the show's over, i should get settled down and start revising for all my tests and CAs coming up!!!!!! *argh*

One thing that i really treasure from this whole experience is the friendships that forged over the rehearsals and practices... Pple like ailian and shirley, who've grown so close to heart. I'll miss them when i leave synergy for good. The seniors too. Jingying, who's our super nice president... Kelvin too... And how could i forget? The guy who started calling me miss teo and the name has stuck around for as long as i'm in synergy... PETER TEO!!!!! hahaha.

Yea, going off to bed now... Tutorials tmr morning! Gd nite.

passion

Passion. A seven lettered word that makes a hell lot of diffence.

You may face obstacles and difficulties. Fall down, again and again. And yet, you'll never give up. There's just something there that compels you to push on. Keeps you moving on and on. Regardless of how tired you feel. Because, you love what you're doing. It's almost like it's part of your life. You cannot do without it.

Take dancing for example. A person who dances without passion, merely passes through a series of movement and motion of the human body. A person with passion, expresses his innermost feelings, emotions and desires using the body as a medium to convey the means.

Had our first rehearsal for the exxon mobil concert in LT 13 today. It has been a long time since i performed on stage... and the first time i'm taking part in a dance concert. Perhaps the last, too.

Hmm, performing arts. You practice for months just for that short period of time (5 mins? or perhaps shorter than that, on stage.) But that's just the way it is. No two ways about it. Be it dance, drama or choir.. It's practice, practice, practice. Lots of shit and temper from instructors around performing period too. I can take all that. I'm a tough girl.

v day part II

It's past 12 midnight now and v day is officially over.

Got a lift to douby gaut mrt just now by my friend's dad. In the car, i overheard part of their conversation.

friend: did u get mummy roses?
dad: yes
friend: how many?
dad: hmm, quite a lot.

That's soooooooo sweet. All the gestures of love... especially for a married couple.

Was stoning on the train on my way home. Overshot and missed my stop. Luckily, i managed to catch the last train back la... I'm such a stupid shit head.

happy v day to u

It's valentine's day today. A quick entry before i head off to sch to spend the day with my lecturers and of cos, dancers.

V day has always been friendship day to me. (Read: Yes, i've been SINGLE all my life.) A day to hang out and have fun with my friends. A day to exchange gifts and chocolates with my dearest friends. And this yr, i suppose it'll be more or less spent in the same way. The difference being... I'll be in the dance studio, and not somewhere in town or out of sch.

I don't really mind being single. I'm just waiting for the right person to come along. Though, i'll have to admit... I wish i was attached sometimes. Haha. The XYY syndrome as sining and el says. :P

I'm sure God already has the right person for me... And as i've told quite a number of friends. He has to be a christian. That's the NUMBER ONE criteria. Heh. Besides, i find religious men really really attractive. A man who loves God with all his heart, all his soul and all his mind.

Alrite, off to sch now. I'm going to be late. Perhaps i'll type another entry tonight.

F-R-E-E-Z-E

I glanced at my watch. 11pm. Another 5 minutes and she would have to enter the departure gates. I wish i could freeze time, there and then. If i could, she'll never have to leave.

Bought Pauline a comfort food receipe book as a farewell gift. So she will feel comforted when she feels down or homesick over there in aust. The Msisters did a book for her too. Lots of effort went into that precious book of messages and photos. Memories that all of us share.

V day is just 2 days away. *grr* there's a change of plans now. I can't meet up with the girls on monday. I'll be stuck in school, dancing! When Peter asked who can't make it on v day... I wanted to raise my hand, but nobody else raised theirs. And u can tell from his tone and face that we really don't have much of a choice. :( So, i guess, i'll be dancing my v day away. Studying too, of cos.

I still have so many things undone. Argh. I hate myself sometimes. Procrastinating. Putting things off till the last possible minute. Wasting precious time when i should get some real work done.

I miss dad. I want to go running but it's late at night now. If dad were here, i could have persuaded him to go for a run with me.

There's dance again tmr morning. Dance practice on SUNDAY. Can u believe it? SUNDAY. I should get to bed soon... I don't want to have problems putting on my contacts into my half-opened eyes tmr morning!

it's a beautiful day

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY, ANGELA!

Just got back home not long ago. Met up with eve, jh, xy, angela and ly. :D It's great seeing all u girls again... Even though it's only for a few hours. Taking photos, walking along town, chatting, crapping...

Was at grand aunt's place before i met up with the girls. There weren't many pple there this yr, though. Hmm, and i left shortly after eating dinner.

Going to bed already. Long day ahead of me tmr. *yawnz* Going back to vj in the morning, presentation during EL tutorial, quiz during lsm lab... and dance after that. Goodness. And i've so many things yet to be done. Geez. I need some sleep. Tata!

vday is coming

V day is coming! And i end lect at six on monday! How sad. Spending my vday with Dr A and Prof Kwong. :P Heh. Prof Kwong is quite cute. Though he's married. Haha. The other day i was just telling mj that i feel like pinching his face. Oh well, i do have wierd ideas sometimes.

Pauline will be going away on Vday. *sobz* I'm going to miss her. My prey will be flying to aust. Boohoo.

So many pple are going away. Zs will be flying off tmr morning at 2am. Pauline will be going away on vday n min'an will be flying next wk too. Hmm, chilin is away at beijing at the moment for a hol.

Meeting up with the Msisters on vday. *yay* Maybe we'll go catch a movie. Advanced booking, just in case we can't get tix, with all the couples around. I don't know how many of us girls will be turning up... hope everyone can make it. :)

Was talking to mandy yesterday on msn. And guess what's our topic of the day? Potabo. Haha. (What's new?) She's either spending vday alone or she's having a HOT DATE. IT's sitting in the OVEN waiting for her. Haha.



i'm still feeling traumatised over a conversation yesterday.

happy CNY everybody!!!

Gosh, tmr's CNY eve already... SO FAST! hee. Grandma will be "checking out" (?) of the hospital to come home and have reunion dinner with us tmr and going back in again after a few days, for another week. Doctor wants to keep her under observation.

Don't really feel the festive spirit in the air thus far, though. Maybe cos i haven't been watching tv much lately, haven't been hanging around chinatown or listening to chinese radio stations. Heh. Missing out on all the CNY songs... Oh, R&B Xiao Tian Hou and R&Bimbo Dog, are our cds out yet??? Hahahha.

Mum's stored up all the CNY goodies... and me, been busy eating them. Haha. Pineapple tarts, almond biscuits, ba gua, and lots more. Haha. Mum keeps telling me not to finish them off before the new year even started. Heh. In that case, she can go and buy some more, right? *rubs hands in anticipation and glee*

Went to have lunch with cindy, kr and zen yesterday at toa payoh. Walked around with cindy cos she wanted to get her CNY clothes. I didn't really plan to get anything this year. Any more new additions to my already bursting cupboard and i fear it'll really explode. *BOOM* In the end, she didn't buy anything and i bought a pink skirt and a pair of slippers! Heh. Mum found the skirt a bit too short... :( but i'm still going to wear it! haha. I want to go alter some of my skirts. So, after alterations, they're brand new skirts. Heh. Smart right? Save money. Don't really wear those skirts anymore these days, anyway. So, they're just rotting away in my cupboard. Bleahz.

Oh, i'm going to cut my hair after dance performance. *excited* Cut it short. Real short. Chop all my hair off. Shave them off. Kidding about the shaving part. I'm not that crazy. Yet. :P

My right thumb bled yesterday. I don't know what happened to it. Along the edge of my nail and it's still hurting when i sms-ed this morning. Maybe i banged it against something. But i really don't recall anything like that happening. Maybe i was half asleep then. Stayed up to do my stats project and start on my gladiator essay. Yea, staring at my thumb now... At the streak of dried blood along the edge of my nail. Eeks.

Been having quite a number of late nights recently. All the stress piling up... Resulting in... BAD COMPLEXION. Bleahz. Bought aloe vera gel from watson's yesterday. Sining said that it works wonders. Going to give it a shot. Used it on my thumb yesterday too. Let me type out what it says on the back of the gel packaging. "Stabilized aloe vera gel which can be used as a moisturizer, or as general first-aid agent to soothe, promote healing and bring relief to the floowing conditions: Pimples/acne, ulcers (including mouth ulcers), Haemorrhoids (piles), stretchmarks, rashes, minor burns (including sunburn), bruises, cuts/abrasions and insect bites." A real example of being multi-purpose, eh? Realized i have a blue black on my left knee. I don't know how that came about too. Most probably from dance. Maybe i can use the gel on it but i really don't see how it can help. :P

Alright, that's all for now folks. HAPPY CNY EVERYBODY!

i'm full of boliao-ness

i'm getting sleepy. Was at Tan Tock Seng Hospital till 1+am and i slept at 3+am this morning. Grandma's in hospital again. It's the 3rd time she's been warded since her op. Praying for her recovery soon.

Sitting here in Central Library with ting, waiting for sports n history lect to start. I'm supposed to be doing my work. Starting on my sports n hist essay. But... hey, there's internet connection in school! Ha. Yes, i'm such an internet junkie. I can't help it. Oops.

Meeting the MSisters tonight. Yay! Can't wait to see u girls again. *grinz* and oh, meeting up with zs, eve n fadhly tmr evening before zs flies off thailand next wk, for a yr.

There's dance practice this SUNDAY in school. Can u believe it? SUNDAY!!!! Argh. Peter wants everyone to be there. So, i dunno. Skip church service? Haiz.

Did salsa on tues during dance. Haha. Anyone out there watched "Shall we dance?" ? I look like one of them in Miss Mitzy's beginner's class. Imagine this. Ever seen an elephant do salsa? Ya. Look at ME! Doink.

Intercepted by ting : COW IS INDEED BORED!!! someone pls SAVE ME!!!!!!! or, her. ;p <---ting the bimbo.

Nothing to write liaoz. Got to start on my work now. *yawnz* and after that going off to EAT!!!!! *woohoo* lalalalalala. FOOD! HERE I COME!!!!

bored

Hello to everyone who's reading this right now... Yes, as u can probably tell from my title of this post and hmm, from my first sentence, i'm B-O-R-E-D. Lessons have already ended today and i'm still stuck in school waiting for dance practice to start later. So, here i am sitting in front of a computer in the Science Lib CBLC... killing time. :P

Oh, my aunt's going to take away my modem for a month. So, I won't have internet access at home for ONE WHOLE MONTH!!!! *sobz* I've got to do everything in school... Either that or I'll be moving away from home, to my aunt's place in Jurong, together with my modem. Yea, to all my msn, icq friends out there... Don't miss me too much! I'll be back soon! Hahahaha. This is particularly going out to my #1 msn friend!!! U know who u are. *pauses* if u're reading this in the first place. U always complain that my blog's boring. Oh well... It's MY blog and i can type whatever i want. So there. Bleahz.

Performance is in 2 weeks' time. I can't wait for everything to be over. Then, i'll have more free time. Meanwhile, work is starting to pile up. All the essays, assignments and projects. *argh* Managed to find my stats project group today during tutorial. Me, daniel (my lsm lab partner) and 2 other guys whom i don't know. One of them is a yr 3 SOC student. Was supposed to be in a group with wendy, daniel and 2 other girls. But, wendy changed her tut slot and so did the 2 other girls, i found out yesterday, when i went to confirm the grouping with them... Ya, so now, i'm stuck with 3 guys in a group.

Dad set off for Phuket this morning. He'll be back in 2 weeks' time. Just in time for my performance. Ha. :) Now that dad's away, i'll have no running partner if i wanna run at night. Maybe i'll just run round in circles in my room. *imagines myself running round and round*
No. I'll get giddy even before i start perspiring. Heh.

Alright. Enough of blogging. Hogging this com for long enough. CBLC's getting quite crowded. Tata!
