Okay, i haven't blogged for 10 days officially. Issit the longest since i started to blog again? don't know. But it certainly feels like it. Didn't really feel like coming online n blogging, cos i wanted to concentrate on studying n i knew that once i switch on e com and find out the internet connection is working, i'll be stuck in my seat for at least 3hrs which is really a waste of time since i don't do anything constructive online. Haha. But i can't really say i've been really hardworking, cos i spent most of my evenings watching tv. From the time i reach home from studying to abt 11. That's when most of the shows i wanna watch are over. haha. I'm really a tv addict. Happy Reading!

One thing i'm glad about for my study week was that i did study, and that i got to meet my secondary sch frens. I went out to study on most days of the week, except Wed and Sat. Met either jane or mh to study, or stms both. Got to catch up with them and though it was to study, at least i got to meet them! Better than nothing. Will hafta wait till their prelims are over b4 i can go out with them. Haha.

I went back to Xinmin on Wednesday cos mh met mr choo on Sun and he told her he's quitting. So we decided to go back. Met jane mh and xiurong at the bus stop. Found out we had to register b4 going into e sch, so there was this long queue in front of us. Queued up, and saw Qingnan. And this stupid guy kept laughing at me. Haha. Sigh, a bit sad Hanting not there. Miss the days where they'll tease me and i'll beat them up. Haha.Sadist, and childish and really secondary sch stuff, but they're really fun and i miss those times. Walked ard for a while, and we went up to the hall to see e performance. But there were too many ppl, and the corridor was too small. The corridor soon got too stuffy so we went out to this open space behind e hall and talked. Then when e performance was over we went to wait for the teachers. Saw mr singh, but he only rmbs Jane's name. Haha. He was wondering why e students were all so afraid of him cos only a few of e students dared to look him in e eye. Which is duh, he's the disciplne master! haha. Somemore the students now were the super guai and nerdy type. Mayb except for the normal acad students. Mr singh was still funny. Haha. Anyway, didn't manage to see my cousin again. Everytime i go back to Xinmin i don't see him.

Went in search of mr choo after that with william n the boys. Somehow, i always get this pissed off feeling when i see them. Not william lah. Mayb itz a residual feeling left over from sec4, but itz too long to still hold a grudge right. It comes up whenever i think abt them or when i see them. I must have been blind, and deaf and stupid in sec4. Don't come n ask me what happened, i wouldn't know how to tell u. It seems minor now, but i guess itz juz e minor things that accumulate n affect you.

Anyway, saw guangde. And argued with him again. Haha. Everytime. Seriously, i cannot imagine y i turned out e way i am. I was surrounded by ah bengs from pri sch to sec sch. My sis too. But we're still quite angmoh-pai. Haha. Talked to mr choo for a while, and felt a little guilty cos we didn't get anything for him. His table was like full of presents. The boys tried to pry out of him reasons for him leaving, but he wouldn't sae. And i felt quite sad at that time. Cos that day was his last day in the sch. Itz juz so sudden. Many of our class' teachers have gone. Mrs Yim, Mr Tan Ping Hock. Sad sia. I nv thought that so many of them would leave. It might be for greener pastures, but who wouldn't be sad at times of parting? And mr choo, okay, i admit, at times, i really felt irritated by his thinking. But he was still our form teacher and he really did a lot of things for us. It juz saddens me.

Anyway, mr chia n mr chan rmb-ed me! Haha. Didn't expect mr chia to, cos he has so many students, and he's like involved in every aspect of the sch. Haha, and he's still so funny! He's the funniest teacher i've ever met. And i really like him, and his lessons.

Went to J8 after that. Actually wanted to eat mos, but no space. So we decided to eat at Thai express or sth. Suddenly forgot e name. Then Candy, and cc came to meet us. After lunch, jane xr n mh went home. Went to converse to buy my shoes, finally. Now i wouldn't have to torture my feet during work! Then we went to G2000 to collect Candy's pants. Which reminds me that i would have to get more formal wear cos there'll be more presentations and formal ones at that from next sem onwards cos of my electives.

We then went to orchard. Shopped ard, saw this bag at topshop which i liked. Which is like a finally thing, cos i've been looking out for a bag since like forever. Then we met Rena n went to Zara. She wanted to take pics for her IS module. Right? Cos i had to go to paradiz centre to pay money to a travel agency, we decided to go to the tao's restaurant. The food's really not bad, quite decent,and cos it comes in small servings, u don't feel bloated at e end of the meal which is good. We took some really silly videos of our food and photos, as always. Haha. Went home after that. Didn't get much studying done that day.

Went to the Mac's opposite montfort to study. Forgot that it was a sch day, so in e afternoon, the montfort boys practically flooded the Mac's . Haha. Regretted going to study so early in e morning that day, cos by the time it was 1300, i had finish writing my notes for mkting and didn't have the motivation to start reading the text. But still had to hold on to 3sth cos i had tuition at 4.

Wandered ard for a while b4 i finally found a bus stop which had a bus to bring me directly to the place. Was really worried abt my student b4 i reached cos my past few experiences weren't really good. But she turned out fine, she's really sweet. And the mother was friendly. Their family's quite rich too. Which is good! Cos they're giving $140 per mth. Haha.

Went to church after that. Cecilia was e only girl there at tt time. Helped her cut e pamphlets, then ate dinner. Then watched e movie for a while. It was funny, cos we were seeing our own friends on screen! It was juz hilarious, we were all laughing at e inappropriate times. And the screen really added weight to them. They all looked fatter on screen. Haha. Then watched them rehearse the skits. It was really really funny. Then ti was times for e emcees to practice. But they didn't really know what to say n do. Then they changed it to Kelvin and it was like the best move they ever made. Cos Kelvin was really really good. He's crazy on stage. We were all shocked when he started shouting and talking all kinds of crap on stage cos he's so quiet off stage! Haha. was feeling really excited abt Sat. Went home at 10 sth.

Received a call that night from cynthia and she practically begged me to go work that next day. Sigh, really didn't know how to reject her, so juz told her okay lor. I'm really too soft-hearted. How? So woke up early on Saturday morning to go to work. Was planning to study before going to church but that plan was gone. In e end, i didn't study at all for that day.

Okay, anyway, waering sneakers to work is really different from e heels i wore. So much more comfy. Haha. There was this little boy, abt 7 mayb. He's so cute!!!!!! He's ang moh, and he had these freckles all over hs face, esp his cheeks and nose. And he had strawberry blond hair. Super cute right?! Can u imagine a boy like that? He looked juz like Archie. Haha. Went to church after changing. Watched jialin n her sisters practice for the song later. Liz told me she won't be coming cos she couldn't find anybody to accompany her. Chit chat with the girls for a while, and they kept teasing me abt my jacket, when they were e ones to ask me e price......
Found out i didn't have a tag. Sad right. Juz b4 everything started Cecilia "miraculously" passed me one with my name. Haha. Sat at e registration counter to wait for e ppl to come. We started at 1910. And there was a big blooper when e emcees ran up e stage, they forgot to place e mikes on e stage first. Haha. So they were like didn't know what to do. The thing was a bit lame, but they really did put in effort, and the audience did laugh at some parts. Haha. Then it was time for e skits. And as expected, the first skit managed to tickle the audience. Isaac was so cute! Haha. then it was e movie, and the parents were like laughing when they saw the different chars.

It was time for refreshments after e movie and i got stuck with the duty of distributing e paper plates. Haha. Then when the guests left, we started to pack up. Brought back the pews, kept the chairs. Took photos. Pastor David was quite high. haha. Hung ard to talk, then most of the girls went home le. So i went up to look for my mother, and took a ride home with my mother's friend.

Really thank God for that day, cos the turnout was really quite good.Everything went somewhat smoothly.

Went home after church on Sunday. was actually supposed to go to my aunt's hse at abt 5 cos it was my grandma's bdae. But they said they wanted to go to a place near my hse for dinner, so my father n i decided not to go and go str down to that place instead. But they really standard one lor. I called my sis juz b4 my dad n i left e hse so that they could leave too. But when we reached there n called them, they were still at home. They hor..... dunno wad to say lah. Anyway, waited abt 20mins for them, and ordered our dishes. Found out my 2 cousins were extras in e jack neo movie One More Chance, so we're gg to watch that on Thurs. Haha.

That dinner was reeeally filling. The adults ordered so many dishes! and the crab was like humongous and i'm not exaggerating. We couldn't finish most of our dishes. At least for us kids lah, cos we separated into kids at a table and e adults at one. Actually, we're not kids anymore, i was e youngest there, and i oldest was like 32. But i don't know what else to call us. Haha.

Walked home after dinner, good chance for my sis, dad n i to digest our food. Haha. Studied for my finance paper the next day till 3 sth. Went to slp, and woke up at 9 sth the next morning. I actually planned to wake up at 1030. But since i was up, i might as well stay awake. Took a shower ate sth, and started studying. Went to sch at 1330. The paper was alright, juz that i didn't how to do 2 qns. The time given was juz enough, at least for me. Waited for sw and went to e lib to borrow CDs b4 gg home. Ate my dinner, then studied while watching e tv, which meant that i didn't accomplish much. Haha. Slept at 1sth cos i watched frasier, and woke up quite late on Tues. Lazed ard and studied a little b4 gg to tuition at 3sth.

Rcved my mother's call to ask me to go downstairs to fetch her in e evening. Turns out she bought a lot of things in m'sia. She went there for a prayer meeting, in e end they went to a last min shopping n she bought a lot of stuff back. They were mostly food and daily neccessities lah. She bought bah kua! Haha. my fave.

Studied till 12sth that night b4 gg to slp. Went for my mkting paper in e morning, then went to see my course grade for HR. Got a B. Think itz cos i didn't do well for my quizzes. Haha. Went home after that n slept all e way till 4. Then i woke up, n i really did wanna study! But my heart n mind juz wouldn't settle down. They kept wandering away. Haha. Somehow, i managed to do some studying that night while watching tv. Haha. Wanted to stay up late that night, but my eyes wouldn't listen, so went to slp. Woke up at 9sth in e morning to study. But i juz couldn't concentrate. So i went to sch for my paper feeling super not confident. When i came out of e "exam hall" i felt quite despondent lah. Cos i knew i didn't do well, didn't write enough stuff. But i couldn't think of anything else to write! Then went with jolleen n shuwen to TM. Bought sth to eat. Then i went to buy e movie tickets n met my sis. Went to century sq's best denki to buy a cassette tape recorder for my grandma, but couldn't find one. Then went to meet my cousin Ting2, and we went in search of food! Cos she was hungry n we wanted to find a place to sit down. Went to e wang jiao in century sq. Then, my another cousin ah wen came shopped for a while, den we went to e cinema for One More Chance.


Rmb i said juz now that two of my male cousins are in e movie as extras? Ya, one's a prison inmate, and the other one has 2 roles, a prison warden and this guy at e office the Mark Lee was at for an interview. He's e mata who escorted mark lee n the other guy out of So if u look clearly, u'll see these two extras who look alike. And he was looked so chubby in e movie! Haha. Her sis was like laughing at him. And ya, the other cousin who was e inmate was that guy who kept reading newspapers, and the one who said sth like "at least u're going out but i still need to stay here for 2 more yrs" in hokkien. He almost got that gay part. Not e one hu acted gay, it's the other one. Haha. Lucky he didn't sia.

Anyway, the movie was okay lah. Some parts were quite touching. But the ending was super lame. BTH. haha. The three of us were quite busy throughout the movie, cos we had to keep a lookout for the extras. Haha. And we kept laughing at them! Haha. Esp e part when mark lee was v angry at a job interview cos he knew that they wouldn't give him a chance as he was an ex-con. Then my cousin appeared, and we started giggling. haha. So funny lor, it was supposed to be a touching scene but the four of us were giggling away.

After e movie we went to cafe cartel to eat. We all ordered pasta, and it was super filling. Ah wen ate till v kang kor. Haha. Then we sat there n talked till 2240, and almost wanted to take e train together with Ting2 but we didn't lah. She's 15 already. That's wad i keep telling eb. We keep thinking of her as a kid.

Anyway, i'm quite satisfied with these 2 weeks, cos i met up with my secondary sch frens, and my cousins! So i'm really happy. And talking abt my cousins, ah wen brought up a v interesting point yday. We have 16 cousins altogether. the youngest is Wee Aw whose 14 and the oldest is 30 sth. After wee aw is ting2 whose 3 yrs younger than me. And then comes the a little amazing part. I'm 18, i have a male cousin who's 19, my sis is 20, there's a male n female cousin who are 21, and ah wen's 21, there's a male cousin whose 22, and another female cousin who's 23. And the rest we're not sure liao. So itz like for e 7 of us, there's a baby every yr, and it's a male n female baby alternately. Cute right? Haha.

Okay, that's e end of my super long entry. I'll make e font a bigger size so that u can read easily kay? haha.
