well...orientation is over and school starts tomorrow...
not forgetting that I have a 8am lecture...

anyway...the past few days has just been about orientation...far too long if you ask me...they should juts make it 1 week or something...we were like having orientation stuff and bidding for our modules. Some of us stayed up till like 2, 3 am to look for modules to bid and to keep watch on the bidding rounds. it was just pure madness the first few days. people were like bidding hundreds of points, which was seriously mad.

the next few days was just fun and games stuff...we went to sentosa for some of our station games...we even got to watch rush hour 3 after our sentosa games...it was supposed to be part of the SP(secret pal) programme thing. It was a pretty alright camp...just a little too long for my liking. We even won first prize for the talent night and arena won best house too....which was seriously surprising....cos looking at our group attendance which hardly goes over 10 out the 15 people who were supposed to be there...it was really surprising...haha.

Camp would have been better...if the people in my group were better..but I suppose there will always be people like that...it really pissed me off.

anyway...time to get ready for school..

It's pretty early right now...I should feed my fish soon..haha, and it looks like it's going to rain, again.
I can't believe school's starting next week...it just feels a little weird, like after slacking around...I now have to go to school. not just any school, but a varsity. A little nervous, anxious, scared i'll screw it up and it'll all just go down the drain...yeah.

Some bleak thoughts for an early morning.

Anyway, my driving is more or less completed, just need to do the test. Sadly, it's like in January...gives me time to perfect my driving, but why next year???I just need to plan everything properly so it doesn't clash with the test...

today passed quite fast...
I like vacuumed the ENTIRE house today...dunno what got into me today...I just thought today'll be housework day. I even ironed all of my clothes plus my mum's. So right now...because of the vacuuming I have an aching lower back.

I basically spent the whole day looking at dance clips on youtube...went to look for those from CJ. I saw some familiar ones...and looked at those I performed in as well...plus the most recent SYF. The most recent SYF was so nice...I especially love the music. Dunno where I can get a proper video...and know what the name of the song used is.

I suppose I still have somewhat of a strong attachment to dance. I'm still in the dilemma of archery vs dance...thing is...I know that if i joined archery, I would always wish I had joined dance. Maybe it isn't really about how good I am?

Anyway, I'm supposed to go out for a run...but with my back...maybe not...plus my hair's still wet from bathing...it'll have to be done tomorrow I guess.



SYF 2007...CJC took Gold...the song is beautiful, not forgetting the choreography...ryan is an absolute genius. The quality isn't really good (uou have been warned) but it's the only one I could find. Hope I can find someone who has it on like dvd or smthg.



arts week 2006...this was the last dance I did in JC if I'm not wrong...

weee...I'm actually really sleepy...
hitched a ride with mummy to Jurong East MRT...dropped my cheque off to deposit and then headed for my driving lesson

it went pretty well....did parallel and perpendicular parking too...I think I'm rather okay, it's just the changing down of gear, u-turns, and basically that little tiny bit of road I always turn out from when I first start every lesson that I'm not so good. After lesson I am now at baby's house!!!

haha...havethe final theory test later today, but at 4.30pm...so just I'm just passing the time here and later I'll head off to take the test....hopefully all goes well and I pass.

wellI should study now...so ciao!

I just realised I haven't blogged for like almost 2 weeks...haha...
it sorta just slipped my mind, or it is possible that i may have just gotten a little lazy to blog...

anyway, this week's been pretty hectic...I have like something on almost everyday....probably due to the fact that I'm having driving 3 times a week...so right now I'll just recap the whole week...can't remember what happened last week...so it's just gonna be this week. Today, I'll be going onto the circuit so...I hope all goes well. Cos I always seem to mess up out of the blue...and when I do...I really mess up.

Well...Monday I had a driving lesson in the morning after which trained down to PS to meet Jolene, Valerie and Shuyan, we had lunch at some sushi bar...I forgot what the name of the place is...but it was my first time actually eating at a place which had those conveyor belt thingies...you know the ones where you pick the food off? yeah...so, we four caught up with each other; Jolene's now in NTU after UNSWasia collapsed, she'll be studying some form of engineering (can't remember which) ...Shuyan's going to NUS...Industrial engineering I think...and Val and I are in NUS prob studying Life Science...haha. Val kept saying how bleak both our futures seem after hearing some people comment about having no job or smthg like that after graduation. After lunch, where I spent waaaay too much, haha...we met up with Cherie at the Cathay to catch the Harry Potter movie. It was pretty good probably because it actually contained much more than the last one, Goblet of Fire. Then again, I don't really remember much from the book...so I didn't really know what was going on most of the time, but some were familiar...like Dolores Umbridge. I swear, how could someone like her have so many clothes in so many shades of pink, even her office was pink. She even had this forced smile on her face which was perpetually always there. After that, rushed all the way home for Guin's Student Council Ceremony... somehow we were told that it was formal, but the invite said smart casual, so needless to say we were very overdressed. Met some teachers there and had dinner there before heading home.

Tuesday...was spent with the Guides....they had some new funky way to fall in...it's supposedly the proper way to do it. anyway, they were absolutely clueless as to the proper technique of tying. I mean how can you tie anything just holding tension?!?!?!? UNACCEPTABLE!! There were people pulling away from themselves when they should be pulling towards themselves 0_0 Some had to re-tie their square lashes 3 times and they still couldn't get it tight. When you watch them tie it...you know it's gonna be loose, cos there just doesn't seem to be any pulling involved. So now they know they have to pull and hold tension. The quads opened beautifully...it was done well...didn't remember checking the knots though, but it was stable. Then came diagonal lash...okay...there was a tiny mix-up as to how the PLs saw me do it...so they taught it wrongly...but it was rectified fast. Some got it, others are still clueless...but I hope it all goes well and the practice it. After that, bussed home and then mummy took guin and I to get the new Airwave...woohoo...you can like watch DVDs, VCDs, and watch TV in the car (I haven't figure this out) and it has a GPS system. Way cool...it just doesn't have a clock in the car. We left the dealer, put more petrol in the car and home we went.

Wednesday...woke up early and hitched a ride with mummy to get to Jurong East MRT to go for driving...my parallel and perpendicular parking are not bad...it's just I can only do it with poles...hehe. My driving is not bad...I just dislike U-turns...and when I mess up, I really mess up a lot. Like do I use half-clutch or the accelerator...personally, I'd probably prefer to drive a manual car...cos I like the half-clutch thing, it's kind of scary to use the accelerator for everything...like in the auto cars. But then again, manual really becomes a chore in traffic jams and there's also the possibility of the engine stalling. After that, I came home...bummed around for a while, took a nap and then went out for my run. I haven't been running for a while because these few days I've been over sleeping when I take naps...so when I wake up it's too late to go out for a run. It kind of sucks...cos I only managed to run 25mins and I didn't even make it back home. I walked back. Took a bath and then headed out again with the parents and guin to see my cousins and aunts from the UK. It was good to see them and chat and stuff...I miss the English accent...haha. We had dinner there and then uncle Wayne and uncle Michael headed out to watch Transformers...Natalie and Sarah had grown so much since we saw them...which was so long ago and so did Anabelle, I last saw her at uncle Wayne's wedding. Sarah brought her Violin along, she played 2 pieces with auntie Jo as accompaniment...it was really nice...haha...it sorta made me miss playing the piano. We adjourned to the other house (they have 2 side by side) and continued talking there...after a while more we headed home.

Yesterday...was the QET...well the first part was easily done...the essay part, my brain was in absolute mess. I had so much stuff running in my head, I didn't know what it was. I couldn't settle my brain down...so I just forced myself to write. After that, met up with my sis and Joseph, chatted for a while while they did some stuff for archery. Then cabbed home with Joseph and just lazed around and here's where the interesting parts of the day end.

today was good...
the weather was so good...it was raining when I got up...
Changed, and went out to see baby...
we were supposed to take tumble out for a walk...but it was drizzling, so baby and I ate some breakfast and sat around reading the newspaper, while baby used the comp.

after a while the drizzle stopped and we took tumble down...as usual it was a good walk...she was so cute just walking around. We even managed to make her walk across a balance beam, when she was so afraid at first...then when she gets tired she'll just plop on the ground and not move until you tug at the leash. We attempted to make her walk up till the 7th floor...but she just wouldn't move at the 2nd floor...she just sat there and refused to move. So we just carried her and took the lift up.

After the walk...we wiped her down and let her run around for a while until lunch time. Baby's mum cooked curry chicken...but I ate the potatoes and tofu most of the time. After that...I helped baby to tidy his room. It's a lot cleaner and neater now I must say, after going through all the dust and rubbish that had to be thrown out. Once all the stuff was cleared, just lazed around for a while until it was time to go.

It was a pleasantly spent day =)

Live like you mean it.
Love 'til you feel it.
Its all that we need in our lives.
So stand on the edge with me.
Hold back your fear and see.
Nothing is real 'til its gone.

the week has been passing by slowly....
but at last tomorrow will be the weekend...so I'll be seeing baby after almost 2 weeks =)

A lot of things happened which made me start thinking...and this made me kind of scared...maybe fearful sounds better.

Fearful of me.

I suppose I'll just be straightforward here...cos I just need somewhere to put my thoughts down and sort it all out. I've been described as selfish...unappreciative...disrespectful...someone who goes for all the new stuff and leaves the old for others...having no affection for others...and having no regard for authority. I think the detail about who said it isn't important...I just have to sort out the adjectives.

I really have no idea how far this is true...and i suppose a self-assessment just wouldn't seem a very reliable thing for me. However, if it were all true...the person I have become is truly frightening...at least I personally think so.

I may have had selfish thoughts now and then...frankly who hasn't? When have you not wanted to get something before someone else? As to how often I've acted on this thought...I really cannot recall...and as much as I'd like to believe that it is seldom, there must be a reason why I've been described in such a way. Which leads me to believe that it isn't seldom.

As for unappreciative and disrespectful...I can't say enough how much I object to it. But then again..maybe you the dear reader may be able to recall a time...but I'll just take note of it I guess...

Having no affection...I would say 50-50...I don't know if this is the right way to explain my actions, or why it's 50-50 but here it goes. For one...my home isn't very well known for it's hugs or kisses among members...not even from young. At least I don't really remember any big significance of it as compared to the amount of scolding and stuff we get during study time...haha. So it just seems weird...or I just don't know how to react to certain things. Things like someone being sick, someone hurting themselves (eg. knocking into smthg) etc. I supposed it maybe simple...just ask 'are you okay?' but for some reason...there's a a point I have to think about it first. Perhaps...because I haven't really received it first hand, or even if I have...it doesn't really compose of a lot of affection too...but then again, it might be just a biasness on my part. Nobody really asks much about each other...like how I disappeared for a 4 days 3 night camp and when I came back...I was just back...nobody really asked what happened or asked what did you do...stuff like that. Maybe you think blaming my upbringing is pretty cheap and just some lame excuse, but I just can't explain it otherwise. My inability to react and have no clue what to do.

No regard for authority...well...how should I talk about this? Well, my school record is clean...well, I bend rules but I have yet to break any...other than that, I can't really think of any other way to explain this or talk about it.

This isn't some outpouring of teenage angst...nor is it a ploy to obtain pity from anyone out there...this is just a place for me to sort out what's been going in my head. Perhaps...get a clearer picture of what has happened to myself.

Came back from camp on Monday...
it was a really good 4 days I must say...so I think I shall bore you with the details

=)

Day 1:
not much activity here, just met Valerie at clementi mrt and had brunch at macs there. Then we took 175 and dropped off without knowing where we were. We were supposed to meet at west coast park...behind macs. So we were in the bus and then we saw a macs on the other side of the raod...so we all got off...however the bus stop didn't say 'opp west coast park'. There were what seemed like other campers on the bus (I suppose the ultra big bag gave it away) ...and we walked toward the macs...luckily it was right.

so we registered and got this m1 goodie bag and Val and I just stoned....

like some time later... got divided into groups and then played some ice-breakers. So happens there were 4 guys and 4 girls....and we were called Teresa Goh...named after this famous Singaporean paraolympic swimmer. After that, it was station games to earn points and stuff. There was like capture the flag...where we just had to run and get flags of different colours which represent different amounts of points after we doing something like star jumps, push-ups...etc. It was just mad...I mean as the game progressed the white flag(worth the most points) moved all the way towards the other end of the field....while we were at the other. After that we played life-sized risk, then ultimate frisbee. After all the station games we had to do this secret pal thing where girls and paired with a guy and vice versa. For the next few days and you write postcards yo each other and stuff and get to know each other. We then bussed to KAP and then went on the choo choo track.
The choo choo track...is just this abandoned railway...it's covered all over in vegetation and there's still a super old railway traffic light standing. It was interesting....given that this thing has like been under there for so long and we take a bus pass the place so many times and have never known what lies at the bottom. There's one area under the tunnel which is absolutely muddy...muddy meaning like you'll sink in and could loose a shoe or sandal kind of muddy...luckily there's a pool of water after that to wash all the crap off. The end was at sunset way...basically we reached this part of the railway which runs over a bridge so we walked over it and looked at the night sky. Apparently, the sunset's supposed to be really nice or smthg.
After that we had dinner at the void deck of the flats there, played some games and then bussed back to NUS to shower and head back to west coast park to camp.

day 2:
Headed to Kallang basin for kayaking, but first we played a few rounds of volleyball, which my group won. While waiting we were trying ways to get more money from the councillors...we were like throwing people into the sea for "300 dollars" haha....Then we went for our kayaking session, where we basically played canoe polo...it was fun...not having done it for a while....as in the canoing part. There was a competition among the 4 teams and we tied for 1st and second placing...after that was the rafting competition. Just that the raft's ready-made and all we just ahve to do is row it out with a guy swimming at the back to get a flag out at sea.
After that we had lunch and headed over to the army market to help replenish some sandal casualties...sat around hawker centre and rested up and then continued on to east coast park.
At east coast park we played combat skirmish, basically paintball without the paintballs. It was absolutely cool...the guns they have are amazing and one of them has a sniper mode where you can hear the shell drop after you shoot...you have 8 lives after which you'll have to go back to base and respawn...haha. After all the groups had their turns, it was 12 of us campers against 8 of them. Basically, they killed all of us and we killed 2 of them...haha.
After combat skirmish, it was outdoor cooking. We had staples of maggi mee, eggs, tempura fish, oranges and apples. We had to use our "money" to bid for the other stuff...so we got chicken, canned peaches, nuggets, sotong balls. This part the guys were really good, they were like experimenting and gordon was going on about 'golden brown', 'crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside'...Tianwei, took out the flesh of an orange and poured orange juice , and egg and some tempura pieces inside the skin and then wrapped it with foil and put it on the bunsen burner to cook...not in a mess tin..directly on it. so it was smoking pretty badly and the bottom of the orange came out all black but it tasted really good. Gordon was caramelising an apple...putting an apple wrapped in foil over the open flame...going by trial and error to get the perfect taste....he tried 2 mins, 3 mins and then finally settled on 2 and a half mins...and omg...it tasted like the apples from the apple crumble in swensens. We even made sweet sauce...we poured the syrup and remaining orange juice into a mess tin and boiled to get a sweet sauce...haha...we even marinated the chicken with the maggi mee seasoning and the taste was out of this world. The cooking was just damn fun....
After that we went for makan cycling...the only thing I will remember forever is how badly my ass hurt from sitting on the bicycle for so long...if you're wondering how long....try around 6 hours. We cycled from east coast, to bedok and from bedok to sengkang I think...and from there to changi. There's this stretch of road outside the changi airbase and SAF terminal which never ends and you just can't see the end...so you just cycle and cycle toward the end without knowing where the hell it is. Every hump and strip we went over on the roads just made our asses cry out in agony...we finally reached back tp east coast at 2.30am and bathed and then went to sleep.

day 3:
The morning was just a cityrace like those checkpoint stuff again...we did 3 out of the 5 cos we decided to sit at ABC market and plan our skit for the campfire that night. We headed over to camp christine for our campfire...where we just sang campfire songs and played games. The Miss OAC wins hands down...haha...we dressed Feodor like a girl. He had 2 balloons for boobs and 2 unequal balloons for an ass...he was like prancing around...posing in all those miss universe poses and all that...super creepy...but he did win....although that depends on your perspective whether it's a good thing or not.
After that we got to meet our secret pal...but we had to find him or her through friendship song...I started with mine in the circle and then went one round before we realised we were each others secret pals. We walked out of camp christine in a group of six and took a bus back to CCK park.
The group decided to go for supper so we went to the hawker centre and ate before coming back to sleep

day 4:
we did stuff with our SP today...we headed to arena country club and then played some really weird game. I had to tie up my hands and legs with his and we had to bit a rose together to get across to the other side, peel the petals off with our mouths, and then exchange the rose for a straw and head back without biting the straw.
After that the guy had to take the girl blindfolded to burst balloons...after that game we went to learn diving =) This was really good...I personally enjoyed it...haha. When we were done we went down to the science centre for lunch. Feodor and I were like running around playing with all the stuff around, 'reliving childhood' he called it. There's this new water park thingie by PUB...and it looked so fun. There were like man-made vortexes and stuff and you can like get wet there, pity it's only for paying people...haha. Then there was the prize presentation, after that the group then decided to watch Transformers together...It was DAMN good...you just HAVE to watch it...I would watch it again...seriously...haha...

well that's the 4 days of camp...I hope I bored you....haha...
It was a good 4 days with all the 11 of us =)

Well...it's super hot afternoon...
the words hot and afternoon should never come together cos when they do, they just make the day so unbearable.

Had driving in the morning 11am...it was pretty much the usual driving up and down. The driving just makes you feel so proud of yourself, cos it makes you feel like you're one with all the drivers out there without and 'L' or probation plate...haha. Then very seldom...(with emphasis on very seldom)...something like forgetting to see the red light happens which makes you feel like an idiot. I like just came out of the bukit gombak mrt station and around the corner(smthg like that) there's a crossing and I didn't look up to check the traffic light. I almost beat the light...and like a Malay woman was about to cross too...my instructor was like almost ready to pull on the handbrake. Then I still have a problem turning...so I turned the steering wheel a little too much when I was turning into a two-way street and almost went into the lane traveling in the opposite direction. Plus, there was a car there...so that driver must thought where the hell I was going and what in the world I was doing. haha...my parking was alright on Tuesday...but today it was like hell...I had once again forgotten the timings and I just can't get what exactly to look out for. I managed to do it twice out of a few times...so yes parking needs A LOT of work.

Tomorrow's the odac camp...so not gonna be able to see my baby this weekend...I hope the camp is fun..

=)

I'm missing you.
I'm thinking of you.
I think of the joy,
when I'm hugged,
when I'm kissed,
when I see your face.
I count the days,
wait for the calls every night,
to hear the sound of your voice.
Your voice,
makes me so happy inside,
it feels like you're here with me.
So please don't go away...

Today was an amazing day....haha...
woke up early ate my breakfast which was cereal and then took 156 to meet baby.

We bussed and walked to venus drive and began our walk to the tree top walk. We walked through the forest...looked in the streams and saw so many longkang fish....some so big, swimming around...they look like tiger barbs or something. We saw so many pond skaters too...we continued walking and baby talked about his trekking through the forest while doing navigation at night and where some of the checkpoints are along the way.

When we reached the tree top walk...the view was fantastic...it was starting to get a little hot too, but nonetheless, it was really good. We could see so far and even see the reservoir, I think it was the Seletar reservoir. Along the way we read these metal signs which were hanging along the way which wrote about the plants and animals to see around the place. We didn't see any animals but the plants were there. After that, we continued walking towards rifle range road. Baby showed me a trick his superior taught them with a leaf with a particular plant which could make this loud sound, like the ones which we make when we open those wet towels in the restaurant. I even got to see the 'CB' plant for the first time...they were everywhere along the way... and apparently you can eat the shoot. We walked along rifle range road and then after a long walk we came out at Jalan Anak Bukit...probable about 7 or 8 km baby said...but it was really good. Took 985 to BBDC and baby finally signed up for his driving classes there and after that we headed to baby's house, took a bath and then a nice nap.

Woke up, we watched some TV and took Tumble out for a walk. haha....she is the cutest thing when going up and down the stairs. We took her to the fish pond, which had new koi in it....plus some luo hans. Ran a bit here and there with her and then took her back upstairs. Played a few rounds of mahjong and then I went home.

I like days like this... :)

Today's Thursday!!!!
There's driving in the afternoon later...and I shall have to chiong lessons for next month...and hopefully get most of the lessons in before uni.
woohooo....
It'll finally be Friday tomorrow and baby and I will finally go to tree top walk and we're planning to walk all the way to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve I think...haha...

Yesterday...I was home alone for a while...
I've been wanting for that to happen for a while now.
Silence.
I must say I like the lunch I made for myself. It was koka instant mee, chicken flaoured, with the marrow vege that I love mummy to cook and steam fish from last night together with 4 dumplings. I have been having this craving for dumplings since last saturday or even earlier than that. It was really good...but I as hungry in no time again...and knowing my home...there's nothing to eat. Just corn biscuits and sesame biscuits. So I was left on my own to fight the urge to snack the whole afternoon and evening.
People poured back in in the afternoon...Kor came back form Malaysia...so the house is a bit more noisier now. I doing half hour runs again....which is good...just overshor by 30 seconds to get back home...better than Monday, where I got a shock when I had such a hard time even getting to 20 minutes

Tuesday was IJ campfire night...
After meeting Charmaine and Sherlyn, I headed over at about 6pm...met Erika, Ethel, Kailing, Mingjie and Deb...the firepit was impressive as well as the structure. They seemed rather well prepared...talked to Miss Lakshmi to catch up on how the coy's doing. The Campfire went really well, except firepit needed some help...seemed nobody really taught them the um...how to do it....they seemed pretty scared of the fire...so Erika, Ethel and I helped out some to help pull them through. It was great considering 2 campfires in a year...we only had to do one in our time...and it was like all hell broke loose or something then...rushing this...that's behind a little...so I'll give'em the credit they deserve. At least the PLC can relax now and go into sleep mode regarding guides...haha...

Erika and i talked to Mrs Tan about coming back to help'em out...cos it seemed the little important details and skills have been seriously lost on this batch and I think a few of the previous ones as well...hence resulting in the lack of knowledge in certain areas. They just need a boost and some person from a long ago batch (did I just make myself sound old?) to give them a little boost and bring back all the lost skills. I guess it would be a good thing to do before uni, since I've got no job now...cos I guess guides seemed to be the one thing that I really felt I could attain perfection in, or at least...I've somewhat reached my peak in regards to my personal standards. For dance there's always work to be done...not that I dislike that too. Had to tear Ethel away from packing another box of sausages from the refreshments so we could go home....haha...

Dancing is like dreaming with your feet

Well Monday passed slowly and so is today...
Spent the whole morning watching Brainiac on youtube...for those of you who don't know what it is...it's a really whacky science show that does weird experiments like blowing up trailers using different methods like static electricity and putting all sorts of things into microwaves to see if it'll explode...haha...
so as I was surfing around you tube I found this video on dancing with some really nice quotes in them...the guy's not professional...but he tries and I'll give him the credit for that...

I shall be heading out to join Charmaine before I head over to IJ campfire... =)

well...

that's the end of working for this holiday...I think...

I feel I've earned this break..my stamina for working has just waned...enough is enough. I should like chiong my driving lessons and try to get it done and over with soon.

I shall bum around like a shameless teenager who lives of her parents without giving back....haha...that was a bit harsh. My colleagues treated me to ice-cream at venezia...I had 2 flavours; dark choc and biscotti! Today was rush rush...had to get the management reports sent out. Print here, punch holes there, call the courier, make sure everything's in it's correct place and that it's sene out. On top of that, had to do some humongous filing for a pile of stuff for my boss...I didn't know where 60% of it belonged at all. Knowing me, I got really bothered by this...I mean it's fine if I don't get it, but I was just like really bothered why is it there was so much i didn't know the hell they were...but anyway. it was a good day...perhaps to do with the prospect that it was the last day. I was supposed to treat myself to a mocha ice-blended after work, but the queue was just so long. so headed home and planned to head out for a run, but I was just so tired...i felt like napping, but i can't nap cos if i do, i'll have a lot of problems sleeping tonight. My body is just screwed up...

Tomorrow baby and I are going to macritchie to walk the tree-top trail. hmmm...should be good day, just hope it doesn't rain or anything like that. =)

Well...I am home from work....

I just wish it were Friday, then I wouldn't have to work anymore. My stay at this company has been an eye-opener to the kind of people that exist in the corporate world...although the actual existence of some of them is truely shocking.

I really need more Grey's Anatomy epsiodes...I watched didn't manage to watch the last 4 episodes of season 2 because my mum had to give it away to her boss who was going to lend it to her daughter in the states. Although I have no idea why that's needed after all it's shown in the states...while over here, channel 5 chooses to screen things like desperate housewives at 10pm while (last time) Grey's Anatomy is shown at 12pm. I mean...I just don't get the rationale behind it. Now I've only watched season 3 till episode 15...and there are 10 more episodes.

ANYBODY? ANYBODY?!?!

I NEED MORE GREY'S ANATOMY!!!

Okay...Now I feel like some crazed fan or something. Anyway, Valerie has managed to rope me in to go for nusodac camp at the end of this month, which I am pretty excited about. I haven't been to things like this for such a long time. I miss kayaking too...

It is FRIDAY!!!

Well, the last day of work is officially next friday...I am so jinxed with the work-for-one-and-a-half-month thing.

Yesterday's driving was really good...I drove around the choa chu kang area for like 1 whole hour...the other half hour was spent practiciing my directional change....sheryl is so right, once you get the hang of it, driving is damn fun. I ust have problems changing gear, I tend to get the gear slotted into the wrong slot, which makes the engine stall if I do. The other thing being I haven't gotten the hang of turning into roads...I just cannot get the hang of how much to turn the steering wheel and when to start turning. Other than that...it was strangely enjoyable...I think driving and I are gonna be really good friends...

:)

weeee....gen is a happy girl...
mummy came back from Thailand on Saturday and brought home grey's anatomy season 1,2 & those that have been shown for season 3!!!
She bought jeans too....however I have a strange fear of trying them on.

anyway....Sunday was another FANTASTIC day with baby. Met baby after church and we went to Aquarama 2007 at Suntec. We were like 2 kids in a candy shop...we were just moving anywhere and everywhere looking at all the amazing fishes and tank environments on display. Not forgetting that things were going dirt cheap too seeing as it was the last day and the overseas companies didn't wanna bring some stuff back to their countries anymore. The competition area of the exhibition area was amazing....looking at all the different competition fishes; goldfishes, plecos, guppies, discus, fighting fish and the amazing arowanas. They even had competitions for the best marine and tropical tanks....baby and I were running everywhere...THERE WAS JUST TOO MUCH TO SEE!!!! AAAAH!! Baby and I were so tired after that...I hope we have more days like this

:)

Today was plain boring....more boring than usual...
boring.
boring.
I was playing solitaire and spider solitaire to pass the time...
so boring...

IT'S FRIDAY!!!
I am so happy...somehow the week did pass a little fast.
I finaly received a reply from nus on wednesday...got accepted into the faculty of science...now it's just ntu or nus. I'm favouring nus right now...due to the distance I have to travel...ntu is just way too far away from where i live. But the course I get to study in nus is vital too ...cos I still have to request to major in life science.

I was so happy when I received the package, mummy was relieved and my aunts were just over-concerned saying things like "so how? accept lah!" and "so how? what you going to choose?". Frankly I have no idea...the NTU prospect seems pretty good, with the small cohort one gets more attention from professors and the people in the faculty are relatively close to one another making it much easier for look help among peers, not forgetting the larger percentage of those graduating with honours . On the other hand, NUS is way more established in terms of science and I heard NTU's curriculum isn't really good plus it is closer to home, so travelling isn't much an issue and I wouldn't have to put up in a hostel.

I'm pretty much lost.

Work today finished early, to be exact 5, cos it's supposed to be some 'eat with your family day'. Sounded good after all I was looking for the work day to end as soon as possible. The highlight of the day was having to fold, insert, seal and stick a stamp on 134 invoices to send out. I swear it took me 1 and a half hours and that was with help. I just kept folding and folding and the stack of invoices to send out just never got and thinner. It was really strange if you ask me.

After work, I headed to town to send in my timesheet to the agency, then decided to walk around and see what the GSS had to offer me in orchard. I saw this really nice pair of black peep-toe shoes from americaya in wisma...pity it was a$49.90...I've been wanting a pair for quite a while, they look especially nice with pants and jeans. Charles and Keith didn't have much to offer, although I did think that one of their peep toes was nice, it was going at $31.90. I went around looking for jeans...MNG had jeans at $66!!! like man they're just jeans...the ones at giordano have just (to me) degraded in value. Is it possible to find nice pair of jeans at $15??? For some reason I think it's impossible, but after what happened when I got my bag...I have to believe it is possible. I'll just have to wait a long, long time and travel really far.


THIS GSS I JUST NEED A PAIR OF JEANS AND SHOES!!!!!

Tomorrow is saturday...my favourite day of the week...baby books out. It just seems we don't fight so mch anymore, not that I'm complaining and it could possibly be because there isn't much time, but it just seems we are...I dunno....sweeter to each other? okay...more affectionate. I like it...just simple quiet time together. Although at times I do wanna go out...but once I get to his house, it just doesn't seem so important anymore. Gotta get up early tomorrow too, gotta meet valerie at 8.30 and get to the induction talk at nus...which is at 9 am. It seems I miss going to school...every phase is just passing a little too fast, when I went to JC, I missed the IJ uniform and just IJ itself. Now going onto uni, I miss the CJ uniform and CJ itself. Are we growing up too fast? I guess we're just forced to move out of our comfort zone, not having to wear uniforms anymore probably symbolises the need for us to become independent...we are now individuals representing ourselves in whatever we do.

I AM BORED OUT OF MY MIND....
for the first time on a saturday...

I just feel too lazy to do anything...normally I would be napping, but the prospect of napping just doesn't seem too good. TV is somehow boring and I have been doing nothing but watching my fish and watching videos on youtube.com regarding fish. There was some insane person who fed his piranhas an arowana...no i haven't gotten it wrong...he fed a silver arowana to his red bellied piranhas. Like omg...he has got to be insane. Then I saw a couple on guppies giving birth, cos i think some of my females are pregnant...I found 3 fry in the tank the other day, so some female's giving birth. However, I still have no idea which one it is. Saw one on arowana's breeding...some are quite interesting.

dum di dum...just waiting for the day to pass....

I am back earlier than usual....was supposed to have tuition, but SO happens that the girl accidentally switched off her phone...I ACTUALLY managed to make my way to the hostel....just that since I couldn't contact her, I couldn't even go into the hostel...like WTF!!! next time i'm going to get an address...I asked her for the add and she kept giving me the name of the hostel and that it was near st margaret's...

AAAAAH!!!

work today wasn't any better...I was just pining for the day to end. All because of this tampines 1 thing, seeing as I'm the temp staff... I keep getting asked to do stuff for them like call the almost 500 people to check if they are coming!! Like why are people in the fucking corporate world so bloody irresponsible, they can't even REPLY AN INVITATION!!! I wanna go to school...and dear NUS still hasn't sent me anything!!! I am in an ass of a mood today...FRUSTRATED!!!!

Yesterday, had to be the best day of the week...baby booked out for the tea session at NUS, so we had lunch together with his dad at turf city, after which we went to gourmet to wander around. =) It was just nice to have him around...
was supposed to have dinner with my previous collegues form draeger...but it got cancelled. I was looking forward to that...haix...so I just went for a run after work...

Wednesday went for some free yoga trial.....it was pretty good...I so haven't stretched for a damn long time and the poses were challenging but manageable. It seems pretty good, just i don't know...I don't really like to travel so far out just to get some excercise....I mean I can just run around my area and stuff, I seriously wouldn't travel unless it had to do with dance. Bought subway for dinner and then headed home.

I am so tired.....I just have too many things on my mind.,...among them a serious craving for yoghurt and being hungry.

where are you....

well, this weekend was really good...I'm so happy....haha...
yesterday baby and I finally got down to getting the fish tank up.

We bought 6 male guppies and 3 female ones, plus 18 neon tetras which are absolutely beautiful under the light...bought sand to line the bottom, 2 live plants, one other on a log and a new light . Not forgetting food and some filter sponge. Baby fixed the pump which wasn't really working very well...haha...

Baby's mum sent us over to my house...had dinner and then proceeded to fill the tank....it was so fun...especially when the fish were let out of the bag. It was so nice to see them swimming around especially when the light is switched on. Unfortunately, this morning all of the tetras died as well as one male guppy...probably couldn't take the new environment...had to scoop their bodies out. It's a bit sad...I mean the tetras really looked good.

Went out after lunch today with baby...to get more female guppies...we found out we actually got too few. We also got a bottle of anti-chlorinating chemical to de-chlorinate the water. After that, baby's parents sent me home while they went off for dinner with the grandparents. Went to bath and after that let the females out of the bag after letting the bag sit in the tank for a while....the new females are so huge as compared to the ones we bought yesterday...but the males don't seem to mind that...haha...so now...

I OFFICALLY HAVE A FISH TANK...with fish in it. I love it.

Just need a smaller one for my hall. =)
