I dislike reading. the funny thing is, i only realised this lil' flaw of mine a couple of months ago. in other words, i prefer precison. straight to the point, and right-at-your-face type of answers. though occassional guessing games are kinda entertaining and grandmother stories are good for killing time. still, it all boils down to one thing----my interest for books and vocabulary is slowly growing out of my liking.
it was like a rude awakenning for me being told off by my dad---he has such a reputation for digging at my blundders [and that's the most disdainful thing to me]. we were having breakfast the other day at the table, he had 'The Straights Times' before him, a cup of coffee beside it. while he was intensely searching for informative articles and important news, while i was browsing through celebrity gossips in 'LIFE'. see the contrast? and it's not like reading "LIFE" is such an offence.....[ it was published precisely for that purpose- for US, to READ right???? ]. but my bugger-dad had to comment on this very harmless gesture.
he is so into self-improvement antics these days it can actually drive me nuts. he told me he once contemplated leaving a note somewhere in my 192-page self-help book called "Earn what you're Worth". okay, so i bought the book myself. and just as HE expected, it was never really due for completion. ... .... .. . .... ... ... .. . . .. .. .. . ... ... . ...
and so the note will read: " by the time u see this note, it will already be half a year gone. or worse, u'll only see this when you're trying to tug the book somewhere in a corner. and it falls off ACCIDENTALLY."
-OUCH-
it's like a slap in the face. that does it man, i'm SO gonna prove it to him that i'm definitely more than just THAT! i do read okay....but i'm not gonna prove it with with this book of course....that was quite a mistake. the so-called "Wildly Sophisticated" approaches to a successful career or life isn't really my cup of tea...at least not at the moment. it's exclusively for aspiring career women who thrive to shine in the corprate arena.----so not me--- i haven't even got my A'level cert for goodness' sake, so i guess it was just another of my disastrous attempt. the book was undeniably BORING [to me], so full of corprate-crap and lacks genuine humour....or maybe i don't get what she's saying most of the time, that's why.
Like as if my life's not boring enough.....i don't need another reason to make myself feel dead. Anyways, it seems to me that i'm reduced to celebrity gossips and monthly horoscope columns. pathetic. so, to rescue myself from falling into this pitthole, i've vowed to kick that killer habbit of mine......i'm gonna start reading! i'm so not gonna be lazy! Now, it's theee time for me to READ....selectively..haha. and i've finally found a book which appeals to me---Robyn Sisman's "Perfect Strangers"...what a romantic start.........nothing beats romance....sad, sappy ol' romance fiction...love it. i can still remember reading "pearl habour" and "a walk to remember" more than three times each. SEE....i don't exactly dislike reading, cuz if i really like the book, i'll read it over and over again with exceeding interest! very unsophisticated and typical of a girl, i know....but seriously, i'm no different from those girls who cry in the movies. it's no shame to being girly in my opinion, really. but of course, i'll never be content to stop right there---i'll be much more than just THAT. Now that i'm cruising towards my 2os....and being a "swinging-single", this book can't be more suitable for my new beginning-----the quest for sohistication, love and success!!!!! lol....sounds ambitious? cheesy? or just down-right cliche? who cares man....it's just the starters......reading is just one of the many, many changes i'd like to begin with.
i can't be more excited.

10 things tt's driving me nuts this month...
10 things which are driving me nuts this month....
work-related:
1* Insufficient sleep......and backache!!! [it's kinda unbearable as time goes by. age isn't a factor]
2* Entangled accessories! [this should top the damn list, really]
3* replenishing stocks [or rather stock taking]
4* that gay at wallet shop
5* The repetition of songs played in the shop [even the nicest tunes suck like hell to me now]
non-work related:
1* finding that heart-breaking song
2* the guilt of retail-therapy
3* k-boxing my money away [volunteerily]
4* the difficulties of getting things done. [i'm too fed-up to elaborate]
5* realising that somethings just simply cannot be forgotten. maybe tt's why it's so hard to forgive too.[i totally get it]
...talk about a happy chinese new yr..... what an irony.

brrrrrr...........
Brrrrrrr..........
it's so cold can........... it's raining day and night, night and day....i've not seen broad daylight for days already....i hope this won't continue for weeks cuz it's making me real lazy.... i can even fall asleep while standing. picture this: i was serving this customer for almost 20mins and i yawned every like, 2mins i think....needless to say, she noticed it but was nice enough to laugh it off...
thanks to the weather....i'm getting lotsa nice sleep these nights but it also resulted in me waking up LATE...and i mean real LATE. i was supposed to work morning shift for a whole 4 day stretch this week, which leaves me to tend the shop alone in the morning... worst, when my colleagues ain't around...the chill of the bloody weather really set the mood for a lazy nap..... THAT IS WHY....i have to spend 5bucks every morning to get a dose of caffeine to make sure my eyes don't fail me. [yeah, startbucks is really, really, making BIG BUCKS these days...] for one, even when my eyes are wide opened....my mind starts to drift to the wrong places...... sometimes i can just stand at the counter and stare into space for a good 10mins if no one comes in....oh well, even if there is, i'll just remain still...[ don't ask me why i chose service line ] BUT, there's always stuff to look forward to at work every morning...i can just look across to wallet shop...where the david tao look-alike supervisor is...lol...it doesn't hurt to look right? it's f.o.c anyways.... i don't think he noticed me though...if he does, then i'll just pretend i'm staring into space....right, sounds good enough an excuse. =)
i feel bad cuz i was supposed to visit lili's house for a surprise on her birthday......thanks to a last min prob....which i'm abit lazy to elaborate...i couldn't make it. and i'm supposed to be a SPECIAL GUEST!!!! nevermind....we've got a date next week...i can still pass her her lil prezzie....come to think of it, i haven't give her anything for the past 3 yrs....when we're in sch, she always refuse to let us buy her anything...but now, i think i'd better give...cuz if not, i'll feel bad.
anyhow, i think our 3 yrs of friendship isn't that shallow lah. i don't think any kinda glitter and shine can actually replace 3 GOLDEN yrs of togetherness........the same class, the same bedroom, the same plastic sheets....etc.....SO, i gotta say this to her: Ng Li Rong....I LUURVVE EEEEW!!
....now even muffy's wearing a shirt....my mom probably think that he's cold too... hmmm...he did something amazing today...like a stunt. lol... he leapt up to my sis' bed [usually he needs our help to push his butt up]...tt's not the best part, i was saying to him in a sarcastic tone: "muffy, u so clever then you jump to my bed lah..." and he did!!! he jumped from one bed to another...btw, our beds were'nt that close to each other....i was totally taken aback man! tts really a pleasant surprise. he'd NEVER EVER done such stunts b4...though he did tried to jump up to my mom's bed umpteen times but failed terribly as he rebounced back to the floor---exhausted-- lol... actually, it's not the jumping that amazed me, it was the way he understood what i said. for the first time, i thought he's like a human...just like us... see, the wonders of having a pet dog. the little things he do can make him seem irressistably adorable OR, can make him a complete menace......but isn't all these part of the package the moment you set ur eyes on him? yes, i gotta agree, beneath those mischieve lies a heart which yearns attention and some TLC........... muffy's such a nuisance...but i love him.
take care friends...the weather ain't that friendly nowadyas...much as i love RAIN, i don't want "him" to make ur sick....catch the pun?

my blog's dead...so are my feelings...
My Blog's dead....so are my feelings....
Okok...thanks for the kind reminders and naggs....[not that i need them] haha... i understand that it has sort of fallen into a coma for weeks....and that even though i do check out the tags n reply them, there has to be something new for my friends to comment on.... so, thanks to huihua, glyn, suzy...blah blah blah....i'm obliged to force out every drop of inspiration at this hour...
just to rewind back to a few hours ago...i was at k Box marina with my usual ktv khakis...[collin n glyn -jacky's got sch btw-] and we were having a tremendous time singing (or shouting) our lungs out n to our hearts content....my apologies to the 2 poor souls cuz it was supposedly a celebration for collin b4 he goes into NS on the 6th...BUT, as many of u all noe...i love to sing...so that kinda explained the following: i was mic-hogging....lol!!!! really sorry for that...but i simply couldn't help it...it's as if they paid 20 bucks to come to my cheapo concert!!! haha, in case that will scare any potential ktv-enthusiasts who wish to tag along the next time....i'm not always like that *smiles broadly* it's just that i was super high tonight......
Yeah b4 i forget and this is still ringing in my head like a broken record...glynis wants me to add this: she sounded much nicer when collin recorded her voice in the mp3 player...
btw, we recorded a couple of songs and they were...well...pretty impressive i must say...lol....then i joked about the 'nicer sounding glynis'... i said to her [rephrased] "now i know why those who can't sing can record albums" wahahahaha....that was a joke of cuz.....=P
anyways, we totally enjoyed ourselves and sang heartily to every tune...sometimes we went off key...but most of the time we hit all the right notes....if anyone interested to hear the recorded tracks can let me noe....wahaha....if anyone is interested to sign us on also can...muahahaha......... just so long as we dont need to hide our faces behind some weird cartoon characters...lol.
*this is especially for Collin: take good care of urself inside...n don't get too desperate until even the 32 yrs old aunty at the front desk also wana look...lol..no lah, i really hope it'll be a fruitful experience for u...n pls.....we wana see muscles the next time....hee hee....we'll miss you!!!
As for the dying feelings part...HAI........................i don't know the significance of it either....i think some of ur will know what i mean......i can feel that its dissipating already.............like what collin said [though he sounded kinda light-hearted when he said that] everything is just made up by me....the way i wana remember him...the reasons or rather, excuses i try to make myself believe in....it's like i'm running away from cold-hard facts....the truth is, i don't even know what to believe in or how to think the right way anymore.....the major mistake i made is probably to keep reminding myself abt him by constantly bringing up the topic.....i could've left him far behind long ago.......but i didn't...what do u call this? stubborn or self denial???

back!
i'm back by popular demand...lol...as u can see, some of u just simply miss my blogging...wahaha.
suzy, u shud come find me at my workplace to know how it's like, then i can tell u the whole story...cuz it's like too much stuff for me to write abt....hehe
but on the whole, working was really fun as i get to know my colleagues better...they're really damn fun to hang around with. haha. so yes, i'm kinda enjoying it now already though i can get a bit frustrated when it's busy. nevermind all that, i'm getting used to it anyways....
just came back from genting and KL a few days back. it was an utter disaster...not only that i didn't get to take any of the rides [i couldn't even see my fingers in all that mist for the record], the indoor rides were mostly (uh-hm) dumb and let's just say even the dumb rides attract strings and strings of queue to my horror....but i can't blame them cuz the situation was kinda desperate. the only thing which was worth commenting abt was the Ripley's believe it or not museum and the KTV session with my cousins. THAT'S ALL. and abt the hotel accomodation.......i don't even wana think abt it man. just a sneak peak of what happened when we got our room keys: the rooms looked as though they were invaded by some natural catastrophe.....it was THAT bad....the trip to KL was no better of cos.....
So, i've already vowed never to step anywhere near these 2 places in the near future [at least not with a whole big group of ppl and definitely not during school holidays]....to begin with, i didn't even want to go...thanks to my dad's incessant bugging.... i had to take an unpaid leave....which means less $$ in my pockets. =(
enuf of the whinning....me huihua and glyn met up yesterday...we had a damn good time chatting and catchin' up with each other....we didn't really change much except for hh's hair color, glyn's make up and my brokeness despite havin a job...we ate at nooch and were greeted by pretty lousy service...but that didn't really bothered us cus we were more immersed into our conversation and our FOOD...lol. we walked to esplanade after that and sat at the roof top....we talked abt guys and how we should get a bf and stuff....but the conclusion is: it's never easy to find someone at this point in time...we somehow felt like characters from a certain American tv drama....haha.....as for me, i still have this feeling that i'm holding on to something though i really want to give it up already....sometimes it's just hard to be honest abt the way u feel....but whatever it is, only time will tell and who knows? i may just run into that someone one day.

which is better?
Yeah yeah...it's the same ol' boring line your folks always try to get in you-----"studying is so much better than working" i totally agree now......today is my long awaited "OFF DAY" after 8 straight days of work.not to mention the 6 continuous morning shift i've had. working is down-right tiring but there's always the fruits to harvest at the end of each demanding month.
some stuff are worth pondering over...like did i really got myself a good job? am i truly cut-out for sales? lol...i don't really care thou...it's temporary anyways...and i do think i'm doing alright at the moment. of coz, every profession has its quirks and ugly side.... like the other day, i served this pain-in-the-ass kinda customer who nearly made me puke blood all over....but its sales...so i'll just have to accept it with a wide smile.....besides, it's not as if i didn't expect such things... lol.
the worst thing abt all these is that i'm actually growing fatter.....my gawd....i don't know why....shouldn't i be slimming down cuz of work? it's like a reversal man. i actually ate more than before! i take 4 meals a day since i started working in the afternoon...lol!!! tt's a record...and my pending excercise regime, i don't even wana think abt it... even the thought of it makes me feel lazy....see, my laziness isn't just skin-deep.....lol...it's much much more. haha...as for tV...i only get to watch the less interesting ones when i get home...and of cos, the vcds.....kinda lifeless....but all it takes is some getting used to...then all the dread will be history...
i'm slowly getting used to it already....and some funny stuff happened during my work which helped brighten up the monotony of the job...and then there's the easy going and sometimes wacky colleagues of mine....hmmm..its like i'm beginning to like my job.
oh no, straying from that topic, my dad is so serious in psycho-ing our whole household to get the flu-jab tonight!!!!!! aaawwwww.......can he just give us a break??? or not, just me....gimme a break can??? i don't need another reason to traumatise myself now....and for crying out loud, it's supposed to be my OFF day!!! why can't he just let at least ME of????? boooohooo~~~~~ k come to the bottom of it all, i'm just afraid of the needle.....i really am.....cuz it's been quite some times since i last got poked by it.....not that i don't understand his efforts...but the thing is......i'm really scared of injections??? and it's not just me, my mum is too.....so please please let us off can???? CANNOT....he confirm will make us go take it...tt's it lah...end of me..... tml i'll report to work with a sullen face and a swollen arm....boo!!!

dedicated to the millenians...
My beloved friends from MI....
i suddenly feel like writing something about each of my millennian friends...since we're all going our seprate ways now, maybe it's time i shud write something about some of the friends i'm more familiar and closer with....
1* Ng li Rong aka Banana aka lili aka Mrs Fighter akaTai ke queen aka secretary of pte ltm & GMR: guess her nicknames are enuf to drown all the Tai kes in the world....lol. she's a real fighter in everyway, esp in terms of her academics...haha. such a genuine friend whom u can count on. My roomy for the Bintan retreat, my partner in crime (class) for 2 yrs and my tennis "coach"!!! hehe.....i always lament that ur handwriting sucks [thou it's kinda proven] *oops* BUT, you shud just see mine for the geog papers....they were appalling!!! haha... oh, thanks for showing me that "leng" face whenever i tell cold jokes....-_- and one more thing....your smile's the most unforgetable, really!!! [btw, suzy and rong comes in a package. the buy one get one free kind..cuz i knew her thru lili...haha]

got a JOB!
I'm H-I-R-E-D!!!
At long bloody last....i've found myself a job...so now i don't need to browse the classifieds aimlessly. and i've realised....my days of futile efforts, religiously checkin out the recruit section for almost a week-----is kinda useless...and why would i say that? didn't i get my job from the ads? NO. it was outta pure luck and coincidence....the ads on the papers only led me to waste my time and concession fare.............lol.............So, the verdict- you should only partially trust the papers when it comes to job-hunting [however, that excludes executive positions of cos] :)
Curious on what job i've found? hehe.... it's at "accessorize" by monsoon---some UK fashion retail line......bet most of you know its boutiques....wana know more? visit http://store.monsoon.co.uk
i'll be at the Parco Bugis Juction outlet...so do drop by!!!.............and buy something!!! lol.
My work starts 1st dec, which means i can no longer slack as much as i'd love to.....In fact, i didn't think i've slacked enuf since after my A's.....hmmmm....lemme see, i've been so busy tryna finish watchin the vcds....job hunt.....sleep.....it's like, how do you even define the term "slack"? perhaps to me, it'll be a whole lazy afternoon, with just me, my couch, tv, and remote control. *thinks deeply* yeah, tt's what i call "slack"....the essence of it all will be channel surfing....muahahahaa.....so b-o-r-i-n-g. but i like!!!!
kay, today i had to go shop for my "uniform". gotta wear all black this time.....haha, but still hav2 wear black in style if not it'll be damn DULL...so i met Glyn at City hall...(she was going for perlini's silver interview btw-and she got it right away) actually i was called for the interview too but i did'nt go for it since i already got my job. after which we began our shopping spree...............
Though i love shopping and admit wanting to shop till i drop.....but it's not the case if i'm gonna shop for a purpose...it's dreadful to walk in and outta shops yet not being able to find the things you want. it's so shitty man! it's like whenever you wana find something you'll nv get to find it, and when you don't need something it starts appearing everywhere around you. i'm sure some of you may have experienced this situation day in day out. of cos...after hours of shopping, our feet and shin ached like there's no tomorrow..............and to think that some ppl even shop in heels......GOSH, what are they made of man? maybe they're legs are ran by batteries-who knows...lol.
Anyways, despite all the "PAIN" and "sufferings", i still managed to get the stuff i want. after all, it's still worth the while.......but i don't know when i'll ever get to do this again. sometimes, even the harshes things are worth cherishing. Besides, too much of a good thing will somehow be boring i think.
For now, let's just hope that the people i work with are pleasant and receptive......if not, the future entries may be dedicated for bitching.......[workplace politics are so not my cup of tea]. and i'm really not looking forward to that :) As for the pay......i'll see to that..... haha.... May everything fall into place nicely for me this dec...

David Tao: Love can world tour 2005
David Tao: Love Can world tour 2005!!!
wahaha...as you all know, i'm a DIE-HARD David Tao fan...i totally dig every of his song creation and though he's really not the type of star girls drool-over.....i'm head-over-heels in love with him. So, needless to say, i went for his concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for the 2nd time! woohoo~
I can't deny the fact that i do worship those entertainment hunks like RAIN (my imaginary bf) lol, but David Tao is really someone i admire and look up to in the music industry...i can still remember the first time his song caught me. it was the re-make of an old song by theresa theng-"yue liang dai biao wo (shei) de xin"...that song was THEEE song that made me his life-long fan...lol...and then my imaginary "husband" haha...
the first concert 'SOUL POWER'....i was totally besotted by his voice...those songs which you dream a guy will sing to you...and his sincerity of bringing love at least to the audience that night will make you melt....it's like i bet those couples who went for it together feel so 'xing fu' when he's singing "ai hen jian dan".....
yesterday's concert was great but maybe cuz i've been for the first one, i expected something more....but unlike the previous one he din really sing every song completely...probably due to the new songs and a couple of old english songs he added in the performance... anyhow, the atmosphere was really good, thou it took some time for the audience to warm up--like say, 5 mins? lol..
and yeah, there's loads of local entertainers i saw, i can't remember most of them but i can recall seeing phyllis quek, sylvester sim, Olinda cho, the superstars (who sat way way behind me) wahaha...and some other not-so-famous- ones which i couldn't be bothered [oops]. =x
and then there's this 2 Ufm DJs sitting behind me....[btw, i was just like 5m away from the stage, at the side] quite near lah, but i hate the fact tt he din walk over...hmph! kay, anyway, the two DJs were like quite 'leng jing' thru out the concert...my goodness, even if they're public figures it wouldn't hurt if they just move with the music right?? (and that sly was sitting right in front of the stage but he simply refused to stand... some more its so damn freakin dark inside.....pls lah, david tao dont even know you...) bleah...some ppl....everytime i glanced to the back all i see was the 2 of them nodding their heads...like they're so repressed ..lol...but towards the end the other DJ couln't stand it anymore, so he was like the only one standing up to dance with the song...haha...
IF my mom had booked the seats 3 hrs earlier i could've been sitting nearer to the stage---but that's not the point. i'm more concerned with the fact tt i'll be sitting with the more HAPPENNING CROWD....my block was like a bit too reserved or too conservative...no one actually stood up even when he invited us to stand....lol...my sister and i so wanted to stand but it's like we're afraid that those ppl behind will start kicking our chair and ask us to sit down...haha...and it's pretty weird for jus the 2 of us to stand anyways... so we sat there thru-out but were busy cheering and singing our hearts out.
The worst part of the entire concert wasn't really the concert but it's tha problen of not being allowed to bring in our cameras!!!!!! ARGHHHH......which means i can't take pictures of my crooning prince!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hate it man! should've hid it in my sis' jacket b4 we go in. the last concert allowed cameras lor. in the end we resort to using our less than plausible handphones which we desperately tried to zoom but all the pictures turned out like crap....if not, i'll be like displaying all of them in a gallery for all to see...lol...
I've sort of vowed to watch every concert and buy every CD by David TAo...and that's not gonna change...he's made me love and appreciate good music [after yrs of blindly following the deteriorating pop culture]....and his songs are really influential if you really bother to read the lyrics......and i believe many who've listened to at least one or two of his songs will acknowledge his talent...the best part of all-----he pens every single one of his songs....(unlike SOME ppl)
....how talented can he get??? EXTREMELY talented.

the unfinished battle...
Hello my 'long lost' friends! i'm back!
i haven't been blogging like for how long? a month? neh...not so bad lah...lol. after such a long break i really don't know what to write man...not that i'm just blogging for the sake of it. i know i have lots of stuff in my head just that i couldn't sort them out in proper order.
okay, so the storm is finally abating...it's funny i don't feel as relieved as i ought to be...maybe because i knew i probably won't do as well...but there's nothing much i can do now so i'll just wait till judgement day next yr.
Alright...till i figure out what to write, i really need more inspiration......now i'm totally drained.

the nicest skin so far
Oh well....seems like i can't get enough of changing my blogskin. what to do? i'm a Gemini...my world is ever-changing....i can never really stick to the same things for too long. buthen there are always that certain lil' exeptions....
i ought to keep this skin for as long as i can...cos i really like it a lot man. and i realised i got faster and faster in the entire process.... higher productivity? maybe... but i gotta agree that practice makes puuurfect.. hee~
Today's my Granny's birthday celebration...which i just learnt of in the morning...how unfilial can i be? but after the assurance from my mom that she herself cannot recall the exact date, i didn't feel that bad lah... besides, i can't even remember my parents' birthdays accurately. it's always "um....25th?? no? 22nd?....oh i know i know...20........" and its like a habit already...
My mom's cooking up a feast in the kitchen and i can even smell the aroma of the braised duck despite the seperation of the closed door... Anyways, we're not gonna eat at home...we'll be going to my aunt's place at geylang this evening. ok, so much for the food prep and all...
I just wana say that i was truly inspired after chatting with my volleyball senior yesterday... i figured out at this point in time...the best motivation i can get is to actually sought advice from the people who've experienced the same situation as me before...
So glad to know that she got into NUS ---the haven where greener grasses grow...or so it seems... when me and my friends talk about it now...we came to agree that maybe even the shit smells better there [lol]. we can get real deluded at times...especially when the end draws near.
Back to the chat, i asked her how she coped with her studies...how to imrove GP at a phenomenal rate....how does consultation really worked for her n stuff...and not to mention the countless encouragement she gave me.... Really appreciated it! i even suggested that she could come down to our school for some prep talk next yr.
After recieving my less than ideal grades for prelims [thou my econs improved drastically], i've actually contemplated the possibility of achieving my desired goal of admittance into a U... But after the chat....i can really visualise light at the end of the tunnel... [so cliche]....and i'm quite proud to say that now i'm REALLY into my books....quite ironical to say this cos i'm supposed to be burried under my notes now...maybe i'll take the excuse of havin a break? yeah...sounds noble enough..haha.
Till then i won't say stuff like i'm not gonna blog cos of my A's cos i always break it...so, heck to that.... i'll still blog as and when i fell like it. and i'll continue to reply the tags!
tO my dearest fellow A'level warriors [lol]: We'll win a BEAUTIFUL battle if we want it bad enough!
i ought to keep this skin for as long as i can...cos i really like it a lot man. and i realised i got faster and faster in the entire process.... higher productivity? maybe... but i gotta agree that practice makes puuurfect.. hee~
Today's my Granny's birthday celebration...which i just learnt of in the morning...how unfilial can i be? but after the assurance from my mom that she herself cannot recall the exact date, i didn't feel that bad lah... besides, i can't even remember my parents' birthdays accurately. it's always "um....25th?? no? 22nd?....oh i know i know...20........" and its like a habit already...
My mom's cooking up a feast in the kitchen and i can even smell the aroma of the braised duck despite the seperation of the closed door... Anyways, we're not gonna eat at home...we'll be going to my aunt's place at geylang this evening. ok, so much for the food prep and all...
I just wana say that i was truly inspired after chatting with my volleyball senior yesterday... i figured out at this point in time...the best motivation i can get is to actually sought advice from the people who've experienced the same situation as me before...
So glad to know that she got into NUS ---the haven where greener grasses grow...or so it seems... when me and my friends talk about it now...we came to agree that maybe even the shit smells better there [lol]. we can get real deluded at times...especially when the end draws near.

Goodbye volleyballies
Can you all spot me?? wahaha...the pic is so tiny.Anyways, have to say that we're really a crazy bunch. esp during trainings....
One common thing we share despite all the differences and conflicts we have as a team is that we truly miss the trainings we had together..[to the ppl in blue only] not to forget KOK LEONG!!! our coach...
we've experienced joy and pain....frustrations and injuries....but one thing we'll keep deep within us: the Volleyball Spirit!!! May the juniors keep this spirit of volleyball burning for as long as the sch survives [lol].
Some juniors may have misunderstood us for being a bit 'dao' or whatever....wait till you're in yr 3 and figure out you have sooooo many juniors whom you cannot possibly recognise....so don't be surprised we don't smile at you...besides, we don't even smile at our friends all the time...so pls don't always think we're unfriendly...cos u all really don't know us well....maybe Karin they all will understand us more..we can get so lunatic you won't believe it---tt is if we want to....
Plus, for all that 3 yrs of hardwork and 'sufferings' we do deserve some 'prestige' or respect ok.... we've had our fair share of problems in the team too.....but it doesn't matter already...
On a personal note, it's never easy to be a captain....and it's not as nice a label as ppl may think....i have to succumb to great shit for that extra CCA points on the leaving cert. Not that i'm complaining...but i do fell honourable to be one....i'm truly glad that some of my mates think i have the potential...whether or not they changed their minds after that i don't know...but as i've said earlier...it really doesn't matter already....at least, i thought i've accomplished a good half of what a captain should do....and if given a chance, i'll be better than i was....
Moving on, i'm sure we'll find our greener pastures in the future...be it in Volleyball or our studies....i'm looking forward to life after this...[i know we all are]. Take lotsa care and strive hard for now! Like the way we used to for the game.....[steady Ace!]

GMR-2004-2005
Dedicated to GMR. [please don't ask me what it stands for.....]
Thanks for all the great times....
*Tennis @ safra
*Pepper lunch
*Neo-prints
*The incessant bitchings....
-Love you all!-
the war is on
.........and the WAR is on!
after weeks of struggles, we've finally reached a conclusion. the extent of superficiality is utterly unbearable..... what's with the segregation? we're like playing some kinda game which we couldn't even tell what. it's become ever clearer to me that it's 'every man for himself'.
BUT, at least GMR is still intact and going strong [i hope]....yes we are....*coughz* i'm kinda tired of all that competition shit already....even if i really want to compete, what's the bloody point? the entire cohort's not just 24 ppl anyways....
the most ridiculous thing is that ppl have this spastic mindset like doing well='hao lian'. it's like 'what the fcuk?' a simple example will explain it all: highest score 15/30, all else fails except for one..... and you know what? this person has the line "I'M SO HAOLIAN" written all over his sick face...for goodness' sake, it's just a pathetic pass................get a life leh, as if he/she did it to piss all of us off.....if one scores well then good for him/her lah....what's with having this condescending attitude towards him/her???? if you can, do the same lor. you know, since when is it a crime to do well?? since you change the education system is it?
these ppl.....not that i wana say, their values are like one in a million. so full of themselves and filled with contempt....only evokes utter disgust in me....i'm so full now i don't need another reason to puke....
One very important thing i've learnt is that, should i EVER do well, i better keep all the joy and exhileration in my guts.....in case they label me as being PROUD. but honestly, who don't feel proud for doing well? i mean after putting in that extra effort and sacrificing hours of sleep, can't you just rightfully express your sentiments??? tt'll probably amount to murder in their very sickenning laws-if they were to impose any....maybe they disapproves of such actions because they've never tasted success in their lives...but whatever it is......to me they're nothing....the real threat tt i should be concerned with shouldn't be confined to just within the walls of the school. it's never that....
i may sound like i'm down-right mean....but seriously, i can't help it. i can't help if i offend anyone....i can't bloody help it if ppl treat me with disdain after reading this....you know, there's a lot of things in this world that cannot be helped. so if anyone don't like the way i am....whatever, i'm not accountable to you and your equally distorted world....you'll probably not see or hear of me again in your lifetime anyways.......so just read this and be VERY pissed...then you can quietly piss off too....=)
ps: this is NOT directed at GMR......whoever else who feels like i'm talking about you. MAYBE.

PRIDE & some other nitty witty stuff
CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THE BLOGGER SITE IS IN CHINESE???
though i don't doubt my abilities in understanding or even reading chinese language, i do have a huge problem in trying to decipher the un-simplified chinese forms...as in "fan ti" words....
For one, it took me like 10+ mins to figure out the word "save"...it's like i feel so Cheena all of a sudden....well anyways, that's just crap and i still managed to blog so i'm not really gonna bother about it for now.
today's 'REST-DAY' for me so that explains the fact that i'm not gonna touch my notes... No, not that i'm not touching them- i still gotta re'arrange and file them over again. so you can actually imagine how much i loathe the period after exams....cos it's not exactly OVER for me yet....... and to my absolute horror, my physical geog notes alone was like more than 6 inch thick....excluding my human geog part which makes up a whole GEOGRAPHY subject in case it didn'toccur to you. so was wondering, 53 days left so how the hell am i supposed to conquer all that??????
now that i have time to do some reflection on how sinful i was for the past weeks, watching DVDs and stuff....[ i simply could not resist television ]...this huge sense of guilt was undeniably OVERWHELMING. sad to say, i wasn't as prepared as i thought i was for my prelims....and as if it wasn't bad enough....i suffered from a brain block during the econs essay paper.....
nevermind, no one should sympathize with me or offer any form of consolation....it's just like i'm plotting my very own downfall....too bad, i'm only human, i'm not infallible....i've got to put up with so much temptations [specifically tV] in life and sometimes i do fumble, i do succumb to all those negative influences. ------this is essentially MY form of self-consolation. lol.
Luckily, i do have a network of supportive friends around to give me the encouragement and advices i ought to heed but very seldom does so. BUT, i do appreciate those efforts. especially with the pte-ltd family...considering the fact that we're in IT TOGETHER....we MUST make it to UNI!!!!!! we're not gonna make promises now, we're gonna MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!
oh, to my beloved JIAYI....though u may not see this but i 'll still say it here....
HAPPY BE-LATED BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! my dearest, grooviest sista ever!
[we're gonna take lotsa pics tml! and i can't wait!]

Again
Last night, i dreamt of him again....
we were back in school.
he looked me up.
held my hand.
and we never parted.
he told me he finally realised who he cherished most.
the answer i guessed but never ask.
maybe.
it maybe me.
i got lost in the crowd.
amidst the familiar faces.
they saw right through me.
i was lost not only from him.
i lost my heart. i cannot be calm.
then i searched around.
pushing through almost everyone in my way.
just when i was about to break down
just as i thought the moment of bliss was surreal
he stood before me. smiled. and took my hand again.
my heart sank. but was full.
we walked together.
hand in hand.
we never spoke.
the familiar scent i missed became everlasting.
the walk took forever.
what are we now.
together?
i cannot imagine it was true.
it never was.
dreams are never true to me.
why again?
when i'm busy and burdened with work.
he did not cross my mind.
not for a week.
why then the dream?
i vowed to move on.
yet i'm tied down to you.
