Don't have much to blog about, 'cos I didn't have much of a life the past week. Haha. Spent both Monday and Tuesday at home, watching vcds and tv, reading. Went to sch on Wed for the tourism project, and had lotsa fun doing it. I think it's gonna be the 'funnest' project ever. Though I hope we'll be able to find sufficient time to do it between the corp comm and the comm skills projects.
Went to sch again on Thurs for the corp comm project. Then rushed off to meet Liz and diyana in orchard to watch narnia. The movie was really good. Watching as a Christian, I couldn't help matching the various events to what really happened in the Bible. And the poignancy of the events really touched me. For non-believers, I guess it was a very entertaining and touching movie that told of an unconditional love from a lion. And the use of the various mythical creatures were great; the unicorn, the centaurs, the talking animals, the whispering trees, the mermaids, the dwarfs and giants.
Was back in school this afternoon, for corp comm again. Denise and I spent abt 4plus hrs doing up our brochure, and we were so damn proud of ourselves after that. Haha. BUt, we still have a long way to go before completing the project.
About my previous blog, if you were shocked or stunned by that entry, the matter is over. I do not know if it is a good idea to let the matter just past, but it has past, and I don't feel like talking abt it anymore. But my friend and I are on talking terms again, and sth similar might arise la, but I'll just take things as they come. No use worrying abt things that hasn't come.

To Meihui
Was I wrong when I blogged abt this on the 20th? I guess I am. Because you're feeling angry and hurt, and I just know, that our friendship will nv be the same again. My feelings on this are all mixed up together that I do not even know if I'm angry, indignant, guilty or simply sad. I don't even know if I'm doing the right thing, writing this on the Internet. But if I don't, this matter will just stay stagnant at this stage because we will definitely not talk this out face to face. I purposely dragged posting this till today because I didn't want my feelings to crowd my thinking.
After reading your blog, I can't help but realise that I don't know you at all. Why do we always expect ppl to understand us, when we don't tell ppl what had happened? I'm guilty of that, and so are thousands of ppl out there. I don't require you to pour out troubles to me if you don't want to. I just want an explanation. Not some excuse so that you can get out of the situation. 4 years, and you can't tell me that it's a family problem? I won't force the details out of you, you should know that. You can post on your blog that you have a problem and you can't tell me that in MSN? Am I such a failure as a supposedly good friend that you can't tell me that? I'm hurt too, you know that? I'm hurt because you would rather misunderstandings arise between us than tell me the truth. I'm hurt because after more than 4 years of friendship, I realise that we are not "good friends" after all. And I'm hurt because despite the time we spent together, we don't know each other at all.
Because of this matter, I find that I don't really understand you at all, and I know that all along, you have never known me. Almost nobody does.
I have no idea what my point is, for writing all these. But I guess, that our main issue is no longer the matter on Thurs. Our problem is communication. I can't believe that communication problems exist between friends too. How on earth did that happen?
At first, when I started writing this entry, I was feeling all indignant and upset that you had made things out to sound as if I was blaming you for all the wrong reasons. Then as I wrote the entry, the anger wore off, and I started to feel sad because you kept so many things from me and we just don't feel like friends anymore. This is the first big quarrel that we have in so many years, and I just don't know what to make of it. I really don't know what else to do other than to apologize. So, I'm sorry. Really really sorry for making you upset when you had enough things to worry about already. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions abt your reasons which resulted in the misunderstanding.
I don't know if it's me who made it so difficult for you to confide in, but I just want to tell you to treasure Jane and Xiurong. You know, I even feel a little jealous of Jane 'cos you tell her so many things. I don't remember doing any significant stuff for you before, and I seriously can't say that for the past 4 or 5 years, I have been a good friend to you. So I guess it is my bad, for putting you off. Maybe I was too assuming, too straightforward, too fierce, too demanding. And perhaps I moved too fast, said too much. Most probably, I came across as selfish.
I do not know if this entry will help salvage our friendship, but this is my peace offering. Sort of. You might decide to avoid anything to do with me for the next few days or even weeks and miss this, or you might read this the very next day I publish it. I just hope that we won't let this matter fester and infect our friendship fatally.
And lastly, I have some self-preserving things to say. I might offend you all over again, but I need to get this off my chest. I won't deny that I was pissed off when you told me that you'll miss our gathering because you were feeling tired from work. I would never act all happy and nonchalant when I am fustrated that once again, there's somebody absent from the group. I dislike ppl to do that to me so I don't do that to people.
I know you're going to act as if all these had never happened, that this conflict had never arisen and come between us. But is it going to help? Will the problem just go away and nv come to bother us again? After your entry and mine, I don't think so. Everytime you tell me or us that you cannot make it for a certain gathering, I'm going to wonder if the reason you tell us is true or another fabrication you came up with to protect yourself. This time, I really cannot just put this matter aside.
And I know you're really upset with me, because I don't think the others were are upset with you as I was. After reading Cheng's and ur msgs on both ur blogs, I just feel so, I dunno, inadequate as a friend, because I can't put this matter behind us, and because of many other reasons. I'm going to stop here, because I've said a lot. I've a dozen other stuff to say, but they will just come out wrong. Thanks for you card again.

Had lotsa fun the past two days. So much that I can't wait for the next Christmas to come! Haha.
Went to my aunt's hse early Saturday morning to eat breakfast and to buy the stuff needed for our family gathering later. My sis and I went off at 2sth as we had to go get our bursary. Sat through a very boring speech by the guest of honour, then we called my uncle so that he can fetch us back as it was raining. Haha. Once we reached my aunt's hse, we started preparing dinner. The menu for that day was italian pasta with cream sauce and tomato sauce, mushroom soup, sandwiches, mee and beehoon goreng, and deep fried chicken! Haha, the last 3 were store bought la. This was the first time the kids were doing the cooking rather than the adults, so it was quite crowded in the kitchen. Anyway, my sis n i had nv cooked for 18 ppl before, so we didn't know how to estimate the amt needed. In e end, the tomato sauce was too bland cos we didn't buy enough and added too much water, and the cream sauce was too dry cos there wasn't enough, and my sis had forgotten to get the herbs. Haha. And there was too much pasta. Stupid right.
At least dinner didn't taste too bad, so it was alright, I guess. Nobody complained. Haha. After dinner was exchange presents time! It was real funny la. And our gifts are improving every yr. I got a very nice necklace from my cousin. After the gift exchange, we decided to play games. Played all kinds of the "chai quan" games, the animal game, wave, show hand, exhausted almost all the games we could think of. By 11, all of us were exhuasted and tired alr. And my cousin came up with this card "magic" thing to cheat others. Haha. V funny. Then without reason, all the kids gathered in the kitchen to chit chat. I think it is because we wanted to finish the left-over sandwiches. Haha. Anyway, we started talking. Before that, my soon-to-be-cousin-in-law had closed himself in the kitchen for a v long conversation and he seemed angry. And my male cousin said that he knows to the reason cos he had gone to the toilet in the kitchen and overheard enough to figure out the gist of the story. SO we started to offer to bribe him, threaten him to tell us the story. Haha. So gossipy right. That's the down-side of a close knit family. We need to know everything.
After that, ard 1230, my cousin's bf fetched my sis, cousin and I home.
Sunday was another fun day. Went to church in the morning and I got baptised. Didn't really feel anything, cos it was over so soon. But it was kinda weird standing in front of the entire congregation. Heh. After service and refreshments, was class. Then we waited for a while for uncle kim shang to fetch us to j8 cos we wanted to buy sth to bring to Stanley's hse, cos it's not real nice to go to his hse empty handed. Bought 4 pints of bne and jerry's ice-cream. Slurp! Haha. But didn't get the flavours we wanted. Nvm. Then we walked to Stanley's hse. We were the first ones there, except for Ian. But he's not counted la. Haha. Looked through Stanley's photo albums, and he has changed so much! And we found a guy who really looks like Ian, though he keeps denying it and feels insulted over it. Haha. Then the boys arrived and we sat down to watch an extremely stupid movie by Charlie Sheen, called Hot Shots. I think the show has been shown on ch5 before. and I had watched snippets of it. It's those low-budget movies that the boys are so fond of, like kung pao. Kept cringing at the various scenes. Halfway through, four of us decided to play cards. Played tai di and bridge. Then when e movie was over, we started playing games. Played guesstures, which is pictionary with a timer. Then some of them left, amd we played the toiletbowl game! Haha, it was so fun seeing ppl become shit. Hehe. And cos we speak english most of the time, it was strange hearing them speak Chinese.
After that, we had a break, and we played the animal game. then the ouch, very good game, which was crazy la. But it wasn't really fun, cos our reaction were all so slow! Then we played the continue the story with one word game. ANd we came up with this really sleazy and stupid story that didn't make any sense. Haha, abt a prostitute who likes to climb walls. Hahaha. And we laughed so loudly during the story that Stanley's wife who was at the bus stop opp their flat called him and told him she could hear us laughing from the bus stop. Haha. After that, we brought out the ice-cream we bought and distributed that, and watched keeping the faith. During that time, they started going off leaving Karen, Ian, daniel, ginnette and I. Then Stanley fetched us home cos they boys were going to ian's hse and it was on the way. So I ended up walking home from Kovan.
This Christmas was really fun. A lot better than previous Christmases. Happy Boxing Day!

I'm having my mid-sem break right now. But it doesn't fell ike that at all. Because i went to sch almost every day, for my project. I spend more time in sch now, than I did during sch term. Ironic right. The thing is, because we do everything in sch during the day, when i go home , i have nth to do! Stupid, but true. I don't have the software for the microsoft publisher, and we did everything on that. So I would either slack in front of the tv or the computer every night. And I get tired easily nowadays. No idea y, cos i sleep rather well at night.
Anyway, met up with Cheng, Flo and Candy yday night for dinner. There were 6 of us orginally, but they couldn't make it, so left 4 of us. Went to coffee club at raffles city. We said to meet at 7, but I could only leave sch at 6sth and as expected, there was a jam along the highway, so i met them at 7.50? Lucky they were still queueing for seats and had not gone in yet. Sadly, only Sharon, Shirley and Sharifah were working yday. The others were all the new part-timers. So didn't know them.
I finally got to eat warm salmon salad! Haha, and it was nice. Didn't manage to eat fondue.. cos sold out....... Candy was down on luck too, cos she wanted to eat stuff with strawberries, and the strawberry romanoff and strawberry shortcake was sold out. Haha.
After eating, we went shopping, but most of the shops were closed, so we walked ard aimlessly. Saw that mango was still open, so we went in. Everything was on sale. Shopped till 2230. So I decided to wait for shirley to end work so we can go home together. And we waited half an hr for the stupid bus to come. That was the longest time lo. And we started discussing what would have happened to the bus or the driver that the bus would be half an hr late...
Reached home at 12sth, and cooked the tang yuan to eat. Didn't finish the tang yuans la, but the ginger soup was super shiok, cos my mum put a lot of ginger. Haha.
I can't wait for the weekend to come. Cos it's Chrismas!! Haha. And it's doubly precious and meaningful this yr cos of my baptism. And i'm anticipating lots of fun with my family and friends.
I love Christmas songs, because they always manage to mean sth to me. As in, regardless of religious Christmas songs like Hark the Herald Angels Sing, or others like let it snow, I just think that the composer or writer meant sth when they were writing them. And i always get high when I hear Christmas songs. Haha. Mayb it because I only hear them once a yr or sth, but i nv get tired of Christmas songs. I love them!

Is there a cure for irresponsibility in the world? Or for habitual promise-breakers? I'm quite desperate for it. So that I can stop simmering with anger over such stupid stuff that nobody should have to go through if everybody just cultivated a sense of responsibility within themselves. But I guess it's the same as having crime in the world; if the entire world population knew to do only the right things n have nothing to do with the wrong, then what do we need the authorities for?
I had written a lot other things but I know that if I post those stuff, our friendship will nv be the same again. And I treasure it too much to do that. I have no idea what the others will think, but I just wanna tell you that I am very disappointed.

How does one feel when letting down friends, good friends, with an excuse?

Was super pissed on Saturday at my cousin. Mainly because she was so darn indecisive. I shan't talk abt what happened. To cut the long story short, after taking two hrs to decide she wants a slingbag over a backpack, she told me to walk ard in the rain to decide where to go next. I got so angry I told her i wanted to go home. And home we went. Started feeling guilty for flaring up at her the moment we boarded the train, but i was still angry at that time, so i didn't say anything. I'm still feeling guilty.
Anway, led worship for the first time in YA. It was quite alright, though i messed up the song. Haha. And i'm getting baptised next Sun, on Christmas Day. Makes it doubly precious. I'm afraid I won't experience any spiritual breakthroughs after my baptism. I don't even know if this fear is a rational one.

Choc lovers, ie Corrin, pls try this when u go to TCC. It's great.
JiaLin and I. I look weird. And we tried to include the shops along Clarke Quay as the back-drop, but it wasn't successful obviously.
The delicious seafood pasta I told you guys about.. It beats Pastamania handsdown. Haha, understatement la.
Feeling super stressed with all the projects. Esp my corp comm one. The thought of the deadline 6 weeks away is simply mind-boggling. I miss year 1! Haha. Anyway, I've decided to stop working till the hols. So I won't be working this whole semester. Don't come looking for me k.. Haha.
Went out with Jane and mh on Wed. It's the first time the 3 of us had gone out together even though we have known each other for so long. Heh. They accompanied me to cut hair on Marina Sq, then we went shopping. While mh was trying out clothes in ebase, jane n i kept disturbing her. Haha. Kept sticking our feet under the draw curtain, and Jane even saw her changing, cos i opened the curtain. Haha. Jane had to go home cook dinner, so we went home at abt 5.
Thursday, was nightmare day. Woke up 15mins early cos i wanted to prepare myself for the interview later. To cut the long story short, I messed up the interview. I babbled, i talked nonsense, and was out of point. ARGH! Haha. After my interview, we waited ard outside the room while the other candidates and observers went in and out. Waited for more than an hr b4 Corrin n i decided to go to e canteen to wait for JiaHong. After eating lunch, we went to the lab to do our online project. But instead of discussing through the forum, all of us crowded around a computer and discussed. Haha. Defeats the purpose. After that, we worked on our journal and observation reports. Did that for abt an hr before we left. actually wanted to go for a pedicure, but corrin n i were wearing covered shoes, so only jiahong went for the manicure. THen we went to Mac's to eat fries! Haha. ok. Very pek chek at the modem that night. Couldn't use the com at all.
Though didn't do much on Friday, i was tired out by 3. Went to sch in e morn to print my journal, then we went to eat breakfast. Did the kookoo FILA thing for the tourism PBL. Had lotsa fun planning the IR. Haha. Went for the consultation after that, and had lotsa laughs again. Esp when Denise gave them the snacks she brought back from her Bangkok trip. Haha.
Went to the Comm Hub room to wait for Krystle and Gwen. Calvin, Denise and i just played around with the microsoft publisher thing and the fonts. Then Krystle and Gwen came to the room, and we decided to make the title first. After much adjustments, and discussion, we finally settled the title. And we were so proud of it! It ws our first step towards our first ever newsletter! Haha. But we still have a long way to go la. After that, we allowed Gwen to go finish up on her journal, while the rest of us discussed the rest of the things to be done. We finished at abt 3 and i went home str to slp. Haha. V tired.

Though didn't do much on Friday, i was tired out by 3. Went to sch in e morn to print my journal, then we went to eat breakfast. Did the kookoo FILA thing for the tourism PBL. Had lotsa fun planning the IR. Haha. Went for the consultation after that, and had lotsa laughs again. Esp when Denise gave them the snacks she brought back from her Bangkok trip. Haha.
Went to the Comm Hub room to wait for Krystle and Gwen. Calvin, Denise and i just played around with the microsoft publisher thing and the fonts. Then Krystle and Gwen came to the room, and we decided to make the title first. After much adjustments, and discussion, we finally settled the title. And we were so proud of it! It ws our first step towards our first ever newsletter! Haha. But we still have a long way to go la. After that, we allowed Gwen to go finish up on her journal, while the rest of us discussed the rest of the things to be done. We finished at abt 3 and i went home str to slp. Haha. V tired.

I would have done this a long time ago, but i kept forgetting. Anyway, here it is, my dream holiday. The Four Seasons Holiday Resort Maldives in Kuda Huraa.
An island resort..
Where i can finally learn diving.. Tho' i don't know how to swim...
With all the exclusivity i want..
Can I, can I, can I?
But i can't decide if I want to go to the resort or go to the cruise to the Carribean. Haha.

Dinner on Thurs was great. Went out to eat with JiaLin. We went to clarke quay. Walked ard for like half an hr before deciding on what to eat. In e end we decided to go to this Hot Stones place to settle our dinner. And we both ordered seafood pasta. And it was great. It costs 20plus but the ingredients were great. It had lobster, scallop, mussels, clams, salmon, prawns. All for that price. Super shiok. Haha.
After that, we went to TCC to eat dessert. Ordered drinks and the choc dessert and it was shiok. I love warm chocolate!
Had a long day in sch on Friday. 9-5. Club&resort class ended early, so we had some free time on our hands. After eating, Corrin, Jiahong and i found a bench outside the LTs to slack. We actually wanted to discuss some project stuff, but had no motivation, so... Haha. We ended up playing bingo, which i suck at, and hang man, which corrin doesn't know how to play. Haha. Went up to class when it was time, and cos the class was empty when we got there, we decided to play hang man on the board. The tutor even joined us. Haha.
Travel and leisure class was fun as usual. Haha. Kept laughing throughout class. Talked a lot about Dubai and the decadent lives the rich there lead. Haha. We rushed through the makeup lect cos all of us wanted to go home asap.
After sch, i went to the lib to wait for Liz to get back from Toa Payoh. When she finally got back, waited for JiaHui to come meet us. Then we took a cab down to Pasir Ris to meet the boys to go to Ellen's bdae party. The boys were real crappy, as usual. Erich looks even thinner. Haha.
The party wasn't really a party. Heh. Ate the buffet, then sat ard to talk, then it was time to sing the birthdy song. After hanging ard, the boys decided to go off. So i went off with them, cos Shawn's the only one with lives in Hougang. haha. Left Liz with Jade. On my way home, i suddenly remembered that i forgot to give ellen her present! Haha. So kookoo!
Went to practice in church on Sat afternoon with a sore throat. Was really doubtful that i can sing well, and true enough, I sounded flat. Was feeling really really discouraged. But the girls gave me a lot of encouragement la. Anyway, i had orders to talk as little as possible when out with my friends that night. And i did. And i didn't talk as loud as i used to. Haha. Smiled widely when possible so as not to laugh. Haha. One factor that caused me to have such a bad sore throat on Fri was cos i laughed too much on Fri, I think.Hehe.
It was Cheng's 18th birthday on Sat. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHENG CHENG! Went to the Tao's restaurant in Paradiz center to eat dinner. There was this waiter whom Cheng thot was cute. So we kept teasing her abt him. Haha. But really, he was cute la. Even Kenny thought so. Then the owner gave Cheng a scoop of ice cream and a organizer for next yr cos it was her bdae. Haha. And the guy even came to shake Cheng's hand and wish her happy birthday. Anyway, we went home after dinner. Dinner was not bad. The main course, codfish was good. Had 2 expensive dinners in a week.... Broke!
And i haven't gone on Xmas shopping yet! Couldn't find the time. I haven't even bought xmas cards. I'll hve to put aside quite some time for e xmas cards.
On Sunday, we were actually to meet at 7.30 in e morn to practice before service. But, i woke up at 7.40am. Stupid right?? Can't believe it. And when i woke up, the sore throat was back. I sounded like a frog. So i msged JiaLin to tell her to get Ginnette to sing my part. In e end, Ginnette was late too, so Shirley sang my part. Haha. The presentation was great. And i'm so proud of Samuel! He finally plucked up enough courage to sing solo in front of a crowd and he sang well. Everybody said he has a nice voice. And i haven't returned him his CD, though i saw him like 5 times in e past week. haha. Kept forgetting. Really thank God for Ian, cos he's the one who gave Samuel to confidence to sing solo. Truth to be told, Ian played a very impt part in the presentation. He was the one who put together the entire thing and somehow made us all sound good. Really really appreciate his help.

Feel quite relaxed this week, cos there weren't any deadlines to meet. But to just think that it's going to be the mid-term break a week ltr is a little mind-boggling. This sem really passed v quickly.
Went to the lib after sch to get some books. Actually wanted to stay there for a while to pass time before going to church. But i got hungry and a craving for Mac's fries so decided to go Kovan. When i reached Kovan, i got lazy so didn't want to walk to Mac's. Went to delifrance instead. Ordered hot choc and a fruit tart. Their standard has dropped. The fruit tart isn't good anymore.... And coffee club's hot choc is nicer. Haha. Anyway, while i was doing my research i saw Ian. For some reason he decided to walk into Delifrance to look for daniel, but ya. Haha.
As usual, we started practice late. Ha. Did the usual warm-up practices, but it was funny la. Anyway, we practiced till 9sth, then we went home.
I got tricked by JiaLin on Tuesday! To cut the long story short, she told me that she wouldn't be going for a movie when she's actually going. I totally underestimated her. Haha. Anyway, i went home after sch, had my dinner, prepared, then went out. Met them at Mos. Wandered around for a while. And Ben has sth against girls. He kept asking JiaLin and i to go shopping, go put lipstick.. BTH! And they refused to tell us where they were going. Kept putting it off. Then when they finally told us, Jia and I were like 'diaoz'. cos the place they wanted to go was the arcade. Nth wrong wad.... Anyway, we went to the arcade, and walked ard, seeing others play. Then slowly the rest of the boys came, then we went upstairs to wait for the entry time.
We watched Aeon Flux, which was not bad la. Pretty engaging. There seems to be a lot of movies abt cloning coming up. And they are all abt the so-called evil uses of cloning. I guess that's because cloning is really a sth that shouldn't be existant at all. We weren't made to be cloned.
On Wed, went to work feeling ill. Found out that Corrin won't be coming to work cos she's sick too. Sigh. Lucky it wasn't busy that afternoon. At least the Batman show was over. Haha. Took a cab home after work cos i wanted to reach home asap and get some rest. Took a nap, then woke up to eat dinner then prepared to go to church for practice. We started late again... Haha. Anyway, was praying hard before i went for practice that my sore throat and cough wouldn't affect my singing. But it did, a little, cos i couldn't breathe properly. Kept going out of breathe. And i finally heard Samuel singing solo! haha, he was so shy and unconfident. THen yday he finally sang out loud. And it was great! Ben Koh too. Haha. Anyway, the practice was great. had a lot of laughs too. After practice, went to eat supper with them. Went to chomp chomp. But we had a hard time looking for a table cos there were 7 of us. Big grp. Couldn't find table big enough. Finally found one big enough, and we ordered our food. During the practice, i had already realised that Ian and Stanley always tell the same jokes. And it's not because they heard each other or sth. They just think of the same jokes. And it heppened 2 or 3 times. Haha. And the boys are really on a different frequency from us girls. The jokes they make are.... out of range for us. After eating, Stanley fetched us home.
Going for dinner with JiaLin ltr. Have been going home late for the past week. Haha. And i'll be home late on Fri too. Feel a bit bad.. but no choice la.

Haven't blogged for a week. But I had a SUPER DUPER busy week last week. My parents were away, so i had to do the laundry else there won't be any clean clothes for my sis n i. Wanted to vacuum or mop the floor, but couldn't find the time. Haha.
The presentation on Mon was a disaster. Cos we had too little content and my part was only abt a minute. So, the tutor had a lot of things to say lo. Went to work after school on Monday. Didn't have staff meal that day, so bought a Subway s/w. And the cookies were great. Simply the best. Haha. I LOVE SUBWAY COOKIES!
My assist. manager called me at 2 on Tues afternoon to ask me if i could work. Didn't have the heart to reject her, so after sch i went to work. Jocelyn and Shirley kept bullying me.. Tho i'm older than both of them. Haha. Then Jocelyn kept saying behind Elvi's back that elvi's a bad person. Haha. The thing is, they didn't need me that day at all. Surprisingly, there wasn't a crowd that day despite the Batman show.
Went to work on Wed again. Lucky it was 12-6 and not 9-sth. Else i'll be asleep on my feet. After work, went to compass pt's cold storage to buy ingredients for Thursday's steamboat. Jane, eileen, candy and audrey were coming my hse. So i ended caryying 4 big bags of stuff home. Haha. Wasn;t really sure what to put to make the soup base, so i ended putting everything i could think of. Carrots, chicken breast, prawns. And guess what, i put too much ginger. Haha.
Went to sch on Thurs morn, then met up for project for a while. Then hurried home to prepare stuff. I asked Jane the day b4 to buy the butane gas for the steamboat. But the shops nearby didn't sell, and the shops near my hse didn't sell too. So we met at Kovan, and after much searching, finally found a shop which did. And the guy was trying to flirt with Jane. Hahaha. Went home and we watched miss congeniality 2 on my com. Ate ben and jerry's. Super shiok. Stopped halfway when eileen came. Then we started preparing the food. Candy came, and helped. Then we sat down to wait for audrey. She reached at 7 sth, and we started eating then. realised that there was too little variety of food. And somehow, the meat we cut shrinked when cooked. and they sank to the bottom, so it was like they didn't exist. Haha. And that Eileen, is really a 'fan tong'. The amt of rice she eats is the same as what my parents plus me eat for dinner. Hahaha. They went home at 9sth.
Skipped lect on Fri morn cos i was simply too tired. Was dressed a bit weirdly that day. Haha. And my shorts kept threatening to drop. The presentation for club n resort went quite well. At least we didn't waste our effort of going to the 5 hotels to take pictures. But... Corrin spent 2 nights of wasted effort making a clip of the pictures cos she forgot to bring her thumbdrive. Sad right. After that was the travel n leisure presentation. We didn't really care 'bout that cos it wasn't graded like the C&R one. So we opted for a more informal presentation. We had gone to geylang serai for our presentation, and we couldn't find relavant and good info. So, as we were seeing the other grps present, we were thinking abt how lack in content ours was. But the presentation was alright, cos of the humour the security guard brought. Haha.
Anyway, our grp was the 1st to reach the cls. So b4 cls started and we were alone in e cls with the tutor. We started laughing abt the funny uncle we saw at the hawker centre, and the security uncle and basically everything la. So much so that, Corrin spent 80% of her energy laughing, that by the time it was our turn to present, she ws stoning. haha.
Felt so relieved at the end of that day. But.. had other things to fret abt. Was going that night to JiaLin's hse to stay over for a band retreat. But my cousin Serene's ROM was on the next day at 2. So i had no idea if i was going to have to go to the ceremony with no slp.
Anyway, when i reached there, weilin, isaac and ian were cooking dinner. Stanley was reading the Bible. Ian looked competent, so i went to help weilin. Haha. The menu for that night was salad and portobello mushrooms as appetisers, shepard's pie and seafood casserole as main course and apple crumble as dessert! haha. Dinner was good. After dinner, was worship time. Then we played games while waiting for the rest to reach. Played the "ma tong"(toiletbowl) game. Actually it shld be called the "da bian" game wad. Haha. Anyway, had lotsa fun. When Sam, Shannen and Siwei reached we started the discussion. That went on for abt 2hrs? Then we watched the movie Drumline. Not bad, quite typical. Haha. But it was a new angle for that kind of movie la. After the movie we were all stoning, but were reluctant to go to slp, so we decided to play taboo. But that failed entirely cos we were all brain dead. Just didn't have to energy to be enthu abt e game. Haha. The boys were debating to watch kung pow or spongebob. We settled on kung pow. And the show was utter lameness. U really cannot imagine how sb can think up of such stupid ideas. haha. But i guess if the objective was to produce sth lame, he/she succeeded. Notice the "he/she" cos i don't know the sex of the producer, but i can't help thinking it's a guy.
Anyway, the boys had already watched the show like 4times n above. But they still roared with laughter during the show. I couldn't help but cringe at the plot. It was really. It has reached to peak of lameness. I did laugh, but still. And before the movie the boys were still asking each other how many times each of them had watch the movie. haha. Bth. An hr into the movie, The laughter got softer, cos Ian fell asleep. Then a while later, it got really soft, cos Ben Koh, Sam and Siwei had all fallen aslp. Shannen too. So i decided to slp too. Haha. When the movie finally ended, i saw Stanley stop the dvd and taking it out. Then i went back to slp. Slept for abt an hr, and woke up at 6. Sat ard, waiting for everybody else to wake up. Then Stanley sent us to the main road.
When i reached home, i went to bed as soon as i can and slept till 11. Woke up, bathed. My cousin reached my hse. Waited for my sis to prepare, then took a cab down to the clubhse my cousin was holding her ceremony. My cousin Serene, the bride was real pretty that day. and I feel so happy for her! I guess we all did. It was real funny during the ceremony la, though it shldn't be. Haha. And Zhihao's officially our cousin now! Though he has been the past 6 yrs as an unofficial one. Ha. After the ceremony we took photos, then it was lunchtime! the buffet was quite good, and we were all rushing for the fruit tarts and the cakes. Haha. After lunch we kept taking photos with Serene's camera. All ard the clubhse. Haha.
After the thing i actually wanted to go home to get some rest and to do some sch work. But somehow i agreed to go out with my cousins and aunts and uncle. Went to Causeway point, all the way from rivervalley. Shopped ard, went to court's cos another cousin of mine was getting married and they wanted to look at furniture. So took the opportunity to sit ard and rest. Then went down to MOS to get a drink. My sis left a while after that to meet her friends, and we continued shopping. Then, we decided to go to MOS to have dinner. Not exactly that, just snacks. Cos Ting2 and i only ate fries, though there were a lot of them. Haha.
Then my uncle sent us home. And TIng2 n i ate the food we tookaway from the buffet. Haha. I had thought that we wouldn't have dinner that night. Then we watched tv and i used the computer till quite late. Then we went to slp.

Then my uncle sent us home. And TIng2 n i ate the food we tookaway from the buffet. Haha. I had thought that we wouldn't have dinner that night. Then we watched tv and i used the computer till quite late. Then we went to slp.

Went for worship practice in the afternoon on sat. Before that i was doing the ppt for the presentation on Monday. SO when i went for practice my mind was heavy with the ppt. Kept yawning. Then half way through practice, my slippers spoilt! The strap dropped off. So Stanley volunteered to drive me home. So nice of him. Hah.
Sunday was the wedding anniversary of my parents. And my parents were leaving for Chiang Mai on a mission trip. So my father said to eat at the airport. (P.S. this is the first time my parents are celebrating their anniversary. To my knowledge at least.) Before leaving church my father said we could mayb go to the canteen or BK to eat. Which is stupid. U ask us to meet u specially at the airport just so to eat at e canteen?? And it's e anniversary! Men. Anyway, we ended eating ajisen ramen. Haha.
We left them waiting to check in while my sis, cousin n i went to the hse of another cousin of ours. Slacked ard, took some photos.. Watched Zorro. I miss the Zorro of the old. When he had a thin moustache and was super funny. I rmb my mum, sis n i will watch the shows every afternoon and laugh through the whole show. They were that funny. Altho the new Zorro movies are not that bad, i still miss the old Zorro shows. they were the best. I guess that's y they are called classics.
Then it was time for dinner! My cousin made pasta, and mashed potatoes. Very nice. Didn't know she could cook that well. Haha. After dinner, while the adults were eating, we kids played one "hand" of mahjong. Heh. After a while went home liao.
Stms, I feel i'm weird. Y are my other cousins closer and much more caring towards my grandmother than me? As in, i don't feel that link between us. Understand? I don't feel the urge to buy her things, to make her happy like my other cousins do. And it's not like things are the same with my other grandmother. If they were, i can simply assume that i'm unfeling towards the elderly. But no. I feel closer to my other grandmother. If i don't go down to her hse for long i would feel weird. But not so with this grandmother. Why??

Had lotsa fun during today's excursion! Haha, it's not a excursion, really. Just a field trip project. We went to geylang serai. Was real unsure of where to get down the bus, so we just stopped after seeing the sign "Geylang Serai". Haha. Ate at a hawker centre. We girls really ate a lot, the 3 of us ordered a plate of $4 beehoon goreng, and a big plate of indian rojak. Haha. And we finished everything! Then we started this super lame game of searching for things which are yellow and long. All because Calvin kept saying the goreng pisang we bought looked like siew mai. haha, so we came up with stuff like fishcake, bananas..
Along the way we kept taking photos, and we came to this malay village. It's sth like a museum thing, but it was rather isolated. After walking ard for a while this security guard came and asked us what we were doing there. At first i thought that he was going to run us off the premises, but he volunteered to tell us more abt geylang serai. Initally we thought we had run into sth good, we had sb to tell us abt geylang serai. But... it turned out that he just wanted to tell us his life story. Shan't say what he told us, there's too much, but believe me, 80% of the time, he didn't talk abt geylang serai, but abt his life. Finally, Calvin gathered his courage and told the uncle that we had to leave. Haha.
The boys and us went separate ways after that cos they had lessons, while we girls went to town, to visit the hotels. Took a cab there, and our first stop was Marina Mandarin! Went to the super cool toilet, and took some photos inside. Visited the pool, and it was nice! the nicest out of the 4 we went to. After that was Pan Pacific. The pool was quite normal, if i didn't rmb wrongly. After Pan Pac was Conrad. But Conrad was simple, esp the pool. It was just a rectangular thing. Haha. Then we went to Oriental. Corrin saw her ex-colleague, and brought us ard the hotel. The toilet was super shiok. While in the hotels we started this crazy notion of acting like tourists. So we started faking these accents and kept mixing up the British and American accents. So we were laughing the whole time we were there. And Denise kept telling us to refrain from attracting too much attention, but we kept laughing, so she kept telling us as we giggled through the hotels that we were supposed to not attract attention. Haha. Anyway, we spent too much energy laughing. By the time we finished Oriental we were dragging our feet alr. So we went to the Killiney's kopitiam in Marina to take a rest and have a drink. Discussed our project stuff too. Then we went to Swissotel Stamford. Wanted to visit the pool, but it was off limits so we took photos of the hallway instead. Funny how the pool is off limits to visitors, but the hotel rooms are open.
And we took photo with batman's car! Haha. That's even cooler than taking photo with batman. After that, Jiahong had to go off, and Denise went with her. Corrin wanted to pass time while waiting for her friend so i accompanied lo. Went to coffee club and slacked there till 4sth, almost 5 then we left. She went to meet her friend, i went home.
On Fri, went to sch at abt 12 to research on some things then went to town to meet mh and flo. Went to buy tickets and sat ard to wait for cc and candy. They were almost late, lucky they reached just on time. Oh ya, while waiting for them i saw Keigo. he hasn't collected his vodka from me after a mth... Haha.
The movie Just Like Heaven was good. Funny, touching. And i didn't cry! Not a tear! Cheng2 kept saying i did. chey! haha. Flo and mh went home after e movie. Cheng candy n i went to eat dinner at Phin's steakhse. The food's not bad. I like the big bread bowl. But i spent a lot! Shit. Need to curb my spending.

I went to watch Oliver Twist today! It was better than I expected, cos i actually thought it would be boring, cos it's a very classic story. But it turned out good! it was very engaging. The boy's soo cute. My kookoo cousin was late, so i went shopping at bras basah and got 3 books for $16! Great bargain! Haha. Also bought 2 CDs at cd-rama. A Hillsong one and the Jamie Cullum. Then i walked back to city hall to meet my cousin and went to cine. She was full of crap and nonsense as usual.
As i said, watch Oliver Twist at Cine. Shed some tears at some scenes, haha. It very nice! But as with all shows, there were a couple of times when i fed-up with the boy for not doing sth that is so obvious and by doing that, all that had happened wouldn't have. Right? Haha. Dunno. Anyway, went to eat our dinner after that. Kookoo cousin had difficulty deciding. Ate in e foodcourt in e end. Then we walked ard for a while and went home after that.

Do's and Don'ts of eating in a restaurant (Part 2)
1. Pls do not ignore notices with words of font size 72 that tell you to queue up somewhere, and then sit yourself at a table of your own choice.
2. Kiasu-ism may be a Singapore culture, but pls do not be so eager to show it in public by rushing to a booth seat when you are not in queue, or when the table is not cleared and the servers have to put down whatever they're doing so as to clear it for you.
3. If the above is ignored and you have seated yourself at a table of your choice, pls do not get upset if the servers don't bring you the menu. It's not easy to remember who has ordered and who has not. Although the customer is always right, who asked you to skip the first step when eating in a restaurant: Pls Wait To Be Seated?

Went for my one-day attachment at Subway today. Had lotsa fun! They let me help with the preparation of the vegs, and be the "architect". You know, the one putting the veg. But i cut the tomatoes till my upper arm is aching. And i was thinking it's cos of my heavy bag. Haha. Stupid, i know.
Met Jane after that at 12. And we went shopping! I saw a lot of stuff that i want to buy! A brown adidas jacket, a Nike sling bag, and a Nike dark purple corduroy tote bag. All expensive... Oh ya, and i saw another adidas jacket that I like.
It was great meeting Jane. Hadn't met her since before the hols.
I am watching "I am Sam" right now on ch5. And i'm crying buckets. Not all the time of course, but still. I'm crying at almost every scene. Lucky my mom's asleep and my sis' not home yet. Haha.

Does bias-ness exist between a group of friends?
Do's and Don'ts of eating in a restaurant
1. Be patient. Pls wait for somebody to bring you to your table.
2. Be polite. Don't ignore servers who smile at and greet you be walking past them and choosing a table by yourself.
3. Be satisfied with your seat. Don't get all grumpy and rude if told that the booth seats might not be available, and if you aren't able to get one during peak periods.
4. Pls do not take the water pitchers or menus yourself. What are the servers there for?
5. Pls do smile while saying thank you. It makes it so much more sincere, and the smile really makes a difference. If you think it's troublesome, a smile will do. But if that action of turning up the 2 corners of your mouth is too hard to do, then forget it.

I'm the class rep! I can't believe my luck, and i don't care if it's considered good or bad. I just know that it was a kookoo coincidence. My comm skills tutor, ms tirzah was looking for sb to help her collect money, and mayb she liked my name, so she picked me. And stupid me actually thought that she called me to be the cls rep. In fact, the cls thought so. The next day, when she was looking for the cls rep to do sth, i stupidly raised my hand and u know what she said? "Oh, you're the cls rep too?" Argh!! Haha, and that's how I inadvertently became the cls rep.
Anyway, went for the interview on Subway on Thurs afternoon. 10 students will be selected from 2 classes to work on a client-based project, where the client is Subway. I got in, by the way. But I'll be separated from Magaret...... Haha.
Friday..... went home after school, took a nap, then woke up to bathe and went to work. Not much there.
On Sat, went to the Shiseido workshop and grooming course. Went early to help out, but didn't do much la.. haha. The Shiseido workshop was really informative and fun. But the grooming course........... super sian! The speaker was so boring, she talks as if she has something in her mouth, and most of the time, the things she said didn't make sense. I saw a guy who looks like LeeHom. He was one of the helpers. Haha.
Sunday... got dragged to Bishan with Shannen. Haha, not really lah. Accompanied her to dye her hair. The smell of the bleach was so overpowering i didn't want to breathe. Haha. After more than an hr we went to eat Mos burger, then walked ard j8, tho there weren't much to see. Finally we went to shop in NTUC, haha, and spent a long time in there. After that, i went to my cousin's hse. Sat ard, watched tv, talked abt bo liao stuff, which is what we always do. Then ate dinner, then ice-cream, sat ard somemore, and we went home at 9sth.
Nth much happened on Monday and today. Just went to sch, and to work on Mon. Other than that... it was just 2 normal days...
Oh ya, i saw Eugene, my pri sch friend at raffles city distributing fliers for DBS. he was in this durian thing, and at first when i saw his back, i was thinking: This guy so poor thing. But he turned out to be Eugene! Haha. Such coincidence. He called me at night, and we chatted for a while. He kept pressing me to organize a cls outing. Which i kept rejecting, bcos i don't want to! Even thinking of a place to go to is a huge headache. And we actually wanted a chalet. But the boys are enlisting soon, some in Dec. So it wouldn't be nice if we did the thing without them. None of the days are fitting!! Who wants to volunteer to organize huh?
