lazy and mouldy

2008-09-11T10:08:00.002+08:00

My blog's seriously moulding. Though i've told myself to update happenings from korea, but lazy me is just not keeping up. I've resorted to uploading pics on good ol' facebook again, partly cos uploading pics on facebook is wayyyy faster than blogger. Besides, I dun have to keep explaining the uploaded pics, the pics can tell the whole story. Sooo, this blog is back to being my ranting place, a site to share my musings once again.

Everything's been settled more or less in korea. we're into our 2nd week of school and there're reports to be handed up. But no complains! life's still good and we're enjoying every moment in korea. Language barrier problems still remain but hey! it's alot better now than when we touched down in korea.

Missing singapore food every moment: laksa, chicken rice, bak kut teh, nasi lemak, roti prata, mee goreng, wanton mee, jacob's cafe omg!! I'm gonna gobble up all the singapore food first thing i get off the plane AND forgoing all korean food from then on.

p.s. going to seoul tmr! dongdaemun namdaemun myeongdong everland gyeongbukgong woohoo!!!

Lovely weather today = lovely outing! Our student voluteers came to pick us and we had ginseng chicken for lunch! it may seem like a common thing in singapore but ginseng chicken in Korea is alot different. The soup was bland and they added glutinous rice in the soup... so it's a dish by itself. Supposedly, the heat from the ginseng chicken is supposed to counter the heat in Summer, so it's really quite cool.

Apart from the ginseng chicken, they served us ginseng alcohol as well! Alcohol content wasn't high (about 10%) but it tasted really yummy and good for our health! I drank the most cos june didn't really like it and i drank her portion =P.

' Traditional' way of pouring wine... like not much different from singapore.

And ginseng chicken!

And we got ourselves transportation cards to travel around korea! it's similar to EZ link cards but the cards can be hung around the handphone and they're cute!! So much better than in Singapore!

Mine and LS's.

Next up... Jagalchi Fish Market!

i saw this really cute boy playing with some metal pole stuff and i couldnt resist taking a picture of him

Us and our student voluteers.

Went to this park later but i couldn't remember the name.

Had candy art while shopping in Nampo- dong. Apparently, the uncle's famous in korea for candy art, appeared in variety shows for his candy and travels around selling his candy art. Just walk up to him and tell him the figure that you wish to have.. and he'll draw it out using heated candy.

This deer was given to us by our student voluteers and the eminent uncle drew it out in less than 5 minutes and sealed it in a transparent bag for us!

so that's all folks!

School's starting soon and we're all dreading it =(. Hopefully we'll be able to take lesser subjects and plan the timetable to a 3/4 day week. Really wanna seoul soon... sooo... keeping my fingers crossed!!

Haeundae Beach

2008-08-24T15:50:00.015+08:00

Went to Haeundae Beach recently, a world famous tourist attraction, and it was really great! Haha, on our way there, we made many interesting discoveries on the subway. Their subways doesn't restrict food and drinks.. and they even have vending machines for drinks for the commuters! Isn't that totally amazing? If only Singapore allows drinks on trains.

Vending machine for drinks

Some outfits in case of chemical warfare or terrorism in the trains

Anyway, June wore winter clothing cos she thot it'll be cold (she even brought an extra jacket!). In the end, the sun was scorching hot and she had to get a new top. In the end, Karen and LS bought the same top as June!!

And i took a pic with the 2 mickey mouse!!

Back to Haeundae Beach.The waves are HUGE, unlike those of Sentosa or ECP, and the seawater is cooling when it touches our feet. Lots of people just slacking under tents and of cos.. lotsa girls in tiny bikinis.

Credits to english.triptokorea.com.

A pity we were wearing jeans, all of us had to fold our jeans up.. and poor me still have to fold princesses' jeans =(.

our jeans were soaked in no time. But that didn't dampen our spirits at all.. and we continued playing with the 'korean' water.

We took so many pics I realised i can't possibly upload the pics one at a time... so I made a collage!

And a last group pic!

Next up, went to the Haeundae Aquarium (similar to Underwater World). In fact, the 16000 won that spent for the entry was worth it. There were 2 sections in the aquarium, both permeated with myriads of fishes.. Singapore's Underwater world totally pale in comparison to Haeundae Aquarium, except for the fact that Underwater World has a travellator.. haha! Enough of talking, and let the pics take the honours!!

Inumerable fishes in the aquarium! pictures doesn't do justice to the splendour of the aquarium, but it really was great!!

Turkish ice cream next!! As usual, the ice cream man played tricks with us before handling us the ice cream.. hehe... he even wanted to take pic with me!! but err.... kinda afraid of him after that.. hahah!

And that's all for day 3 at Haeundae Beach!! More to come.. check it out! =)

Stepping Away from Sunny Island

2008-08-23T22:37:00.006+08:00

Ann-yeong haseyo Singapore! It’s going to be a long post, owing to the number of pics took over the last week as well as fascinating discoveries in Korea. We’re into our 3rd day in Korea, AND facing a huge problem – Language barriers! Firstly, the people here ONLY speak Korean, with incredibly limited English. Especially when ordering food, we have to point to the picture of the food that we want to eat - all sorta sign language that we could possibly think of have already been displayed.

Great gatherings with old school girls from Primary all the way to Poly! Shall let the pictures do the talking. I already miss all my friends and family and it's only the 3rd day! This is nnooooootttt Gooooooddd! Nevertheless.. I'm still gonna have fun in korea.. afterall, it's not everyday you get to exchange in a foreign country!

Starting with poly, met up with naima!! omg.. its been ages since we met up! Exactly the same as before.. no change! The gathering was a wee bit disappointing though.. we were supposed to have a whole class gathering and only the 4 of us turned up =( Despite the low turnout, the meetup was still great and naima was a great entertainment (as usual!).

Next up! with my sisters.. thanks passionfruit and tinkerbell for the great steamboat dinner. It'll be another 4 months before we can have another gathering but the bond that we share shall never diminish! had lotsa bo liao pics taken before heading home but oh well.. it's to compensate for 4 months of not meeting up!

And no less to my dear Eline! Been at least 4 years since we met up, and was a lil bit nervous before meeting her - afraid of being unable to initiate a conversation, afraid of running out of topics etc. But it was a great meet up afterall! we had an incredible reminiscence of our school days and had plenty of gossips to share. and of cos! we camwhored alot... and shopped ALOT! thanks girl! i'll miss you alot when you go back to UK... who knows when we can meet up again.. sob =(

At the airport. It was again, a warm gathering with friends and family. Due to the flight schedule, alot of ppl couldn't make it, but hey! it's only for 4 months.. and it'll pass pretty quickly =). Thanks to all those who could make it though!!

At the plane towards Thailand. It was LS's first time on a plane and she was pretty excited. However, it was a night flight for our flight from Thailand to Korea, and it was super impossible to even sleep. maybe im not accustomed to sleeping in a sitting posture, but it was highly uncomfortable for me and the next day was hell for me with hardly any sleep at all =(.

Day 1 in KoRea! we were completey lost in the streets cos all the signboards were in korean. Thanks to Peter and Sunny (our student guides) to bring us around and helping us to settle in our guesthouses. Without them, we'll be like those stranded cats lurking around the streets =(.

Went to Emart to get our daily necessities and there was a shelf filled completely with sanitary pads! haha.. not that singapore doesn't have any shelves filled with sanitary pads, but i juz find that the pads were stacked up so neatly and they look more like food instead of pads!

The food here in Busan is pretty cheap as well (ranging from $2-5) compared to Seoul (according to Serene it ranges $6-9). Korean food definitely taste much better than in Singaporeoo much of a good thing is bad!!, but i reckon all of us will be sick of it by the end of 2 weeks =(. Haha.. too much of a good thing is bad!!

Gawd! Finished writing Day 1.. and I still have more to go! Well.. at least it's something to be done when I get back the guesthouse at night.. and I'll perservere in updating the entire Korean trip! More shopping to be done today.. woohoo!

Penning thoughts.

2008-08-11T21:25:00.003+08:00

It's been almost a month since i've updated this almost "abandoned" blog.. and I suppose I should be salvaging this forgotten little website of mine. This month has been a fruitful and should I say, a happy month for me =). Our Korea exchange thingy has been confirmed and we'll be leaving next week!! been busy preparing with all the nitty gritty details like visa, medical checkup and whatnot, and all 5 of our faces spell "cant-wait-to-go-korea!!" hahaaha..

Excitement of going Korea aside, another issue that made this month 'happy' for me was the fact that me and H have resolved our unhappy problems and set aside all other differences, or rather most differences. That 1 week was really a worthwhile week and that expensive air ticket wasn't a waste at all. For those of you who are concerned, we're in a sort of 'open' relationship, and more like close friends now. I'm still unable to give our relationship 100% confidence, and unwilling to give him total trust after the whole 'drama- mama' episode. And we both know that a relationship requires 100% commitment with complete trust. With me lacking this trust in him, it might be better to be apart for now. Even so, the chemistry that we have for each other remains strong and I dun think this chemistry will ever fade after 5 yrs of love. Anyway, the 1 yr that we'll be apart will still remain a challenge to us both. But as wad my lovely wise LS said," if he's meant to be, he's meant to be." Who knows, we might be back together again after this 1 yr =)

Gawd, it feels really good being able to write all these mushy relationship stuff. I've never really been able to discuss all these and strangely, the little locket hiding in the corner of my heart feels liberated and refreshed! hahaha.. ok.. sounds so drama again.. BACK To Korea excitement!! This'll be my last week in sunny island Singapore b4 i head off to the ann-yeong haseyo island. Probably due to 2 yrs of being a hall residence, I've grown not to miss my family when I'm away! hahaha.. it's either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you see it. But one thing's for sure, when we're out shopping, family will be no. 2!!! But i'll definitely miss friends!! rushing to all my friends gatherings this week, and I really hope to have at least a meal with all of these lovely friends before missing them for 4 months.. sob

woah... feels like a long entry I've written and boy it does feel satisfying penning down all my thoughts to words.. and may i add that blog writing can be quite taxing to the brain and I think i need some rest... hahahah.. so see y'all!! next update will be in korea! =D =D =D

Outings galore!

2008-07-10T23:25:00.009+08:00

been MIA-ing for a while.. and this post has been under draft for the past week cos i'm too lazy to blog. Though work's always boring, but my girlfriends always make life happening for me after work. MUACKS to you all!

And tinkerbell juz came back from taiwan.. with lotsa goodies from there!! yum!!

Doesn't this look mysteriously like a sanitary pad? It still comes with wings!

It's a marshmallow!! yum! the 'pads' do taste quite good actually, just a little sweet for my liking.. but it's just so cute!! and i can't bear to throw the packaging away..

and this is totally unrelated... but guess i'll post it up anyw.. went cycling w mr lim at ecp. for those who din know, i'm really bad at cycling and i'll normally 'langa' into trees or drains.. but this time.. i feel like i'm a total pro! hahah! i've learnt to cycle with one hand and i din 'langa' into anything!

ok.. excitedness aside, i was trying to capture a pic of mr lim and ended up.. he looked constipated.. haha!! sorry!! i told you to smile but you gave that expression... so can't blame me right.. :p

Back to depressing topics.. The korea uni still hasn't provided us with our acceptance packages.. and it's worrying cos we're supposed to fly next month and everything's not been settled yet.. *crosses fingers tightly that we'll get our acceptance package soon... I dun wanna stay in NTU next sem without a hall!!

Holidays are the best times!

2008-06-20T14:40:00.005+08:00

But I ended up with gera, shiying, wenlin and their friends.. haha! and I din get to hang out much with Eline.. but it's ok! there's still lots of time for hanging out sessions. What with all the unhappy events going on in the last few weeks, I'm determined to make my holidays worthwhile filled with laughter and fun!

好眼淚壞眼淚徐若瑄

2008-06-16T21:21:00.003+08:00

I totally Heart this song!

我曾認真深愛著一個人他給我幸福的可能

我等我問未來何時發生他只是給我一個吻

快樂我哭是因為你的手曾答應帶我向前走

難過我哭是因為我的手找不到你說的以後

好眼淚壞眼淚我都曾為你流

感動和悲傷都是理由

只不過在你不再愛我了以後

剩壞的眼淚慢慢流

快樂我哭是因為我付出得到你溫柔的答覆

難過我哭是因為我認輸你的心永遠留不住

好眼淚壞眼淚我都曾為你流

感動和悲傷都是理由

只希望在我不再想你了之後

有好的眼淚慢慢流

I love my Friends!

2008-06-13T23:14:00.024+08:00

So the girls and me have been hanging out lately and they were a great company! What with all the encouragement they've given me.. and also shopping tips with the ongoing GSS.. and all I can say is...

I love you gals!

Thanks Lao Ma and Maine!

Lots of cam-whoring while waiting for Lao Ma to reach Suntec..

Finally, dinner at Pastamania at freakin 9pm!

Thanks Lishi Pekyu and Shiying!

And also many thanks to Karen, June, Lishi, Joseph, YC, Siqi etc etc.. we always didn't manage to take any pics. but i'll make sure that the next time we meet.. we must take many many pics!

and before I start work.. i really need to hang out more often with all my dear friends.. especially when I'm going to Korea for exchange soon. First up! Butter FAC! with my dear ELINE! oo. i simply can't wait..

For all shoppers out there!

2008-06-12T14:30:00.001+08:00

Labels or Love

I already know what my addiction is

I be looking for labels, I ain’t looking for love

I shop for purses while I walk out the door

Don’t cry, buy a bag and then get over it

And, I’m not concerned with all the politics

It’s a lot of men I know I could find another one.

SHOPPING ROCKS!

Dearest __

It's so over.. I'm still dazed by the events that took place yesterday and I still held on to the belief that everything was just a joke.. but it's not.. it's real, and nothing will ever change that fact. Why did it happen so suddenly? Do you even realise u're throwing away our 5 year relationship just like that?

U said i was insensitive.. sure i was.. i admitted that.. i apologised repeatedly. I'm not sure whether you accepted my apologies, but it was sincere. You told other ppl that i was insensitive.. I'm alright w that.. it was the truth, it was necessary to get it out of your heart. How about times when u yrself were insensitive? There were days where i hoped that you would initiate a conversation w me on msn.. days where i hoped that you would initiate to start a webcam.. I had no one to complain to.. or rather.. i din want to complain to them because i thot we should trust each other. Maybe you're busy, studying hard, cooking, watching tv whatever..

Anticipating to meet you has been killing me for the last few months. After crying a few days after you left for australia every sem., i told myself life goes on, and in my heart there's a hope telling me that i can meet you in just another 3 months. And just next week, after anticipating for 3months, i could already meet you.. but your heart already belongs to someone else.

So for the last few days when you were cracking jokes.. it was all a pretense.. you were a really good actor you know.. great for acting the role of a jerk, or a bastard, or a fucker.. whatever.. u hoped we could still be friends? well.. u're welcome to kiss my arse.

And you know what? I won't allow myself to be sad over you.. because you're so not worth it.. oh, and i sincerely wish you will win over the heart of that unlucky girl.. seriously.. No, i'm not being sarcastic or anything.. i really hope you both can get into a relationship..

Thank goodness you told me b4 i was going into australia.. i can't imagine being stuck w a jerk for 1 entire month sleeping next to you.. you'll see.. I'm going to start life all anew and emerge as a stronger girl than i ever will be.. and you can just go fuck off

PS. I love my family and i love all my friends.. thanks for standing by me when i'm at my lowest and making me feel that my life shouldn't just revolve around him.

Corner with Love

2008-05-25T16:29:00.006+08:00

Haven't updated my blog for close to 7 months now.. blame it on my laziness/slackiness/whatever u call it.. i juz cant bring my hands to type anything on this DEAD blog.. like seriously!

anyw, juz finished watching corner with love.. and i totally love it! I used to hate watching taiwanese drama cos they're so teary and cliche and everything, but this particular drama was good. True, the actors don't seem to have any tears when they cry, but the story is kept simple and complicated at the same time, it's juz beautiful.

And i guess i'm really outdated.. I juz realised Luo Zhi Xiang = Xiao Zhu, and I din even know he's been really famous for the past few years.. but he's really quite shuai! oh... and I realised he can sing and dance as well!

haiz.. but there's currently no more good taiwanese drama for me to watch.. so i'll juz stick to my grey's anatomy, which, somehow or another.. has lost its magical (or medical) impact on me. sobs

Mixed Feelings

不管昨天　你對我說過了什麼
今天的我還是依然　依然沉默
兩個人生氣著　看著誰先捨不得
何必這樣　來試探我們的緣份

not easy to maintain....

garden stuff

2007-10-05T11:29:00.000+08:00

Remember the caterpillar that was about to about a cocoon... it DID become a cocoon recently.. and its beautiful!!

It's really camouflaged to mimic a leaf-like structure.. and i almost touched it just to see whether it's really a leaf... EEWW!!! lucky i din touch it..

And this is one cocoon that didn't make it... i don't know wad happened to it.. but my best conjecture was that it probably didn't manage to eat enough leaves to survive the cocoon stage.. Poor thing... who asked you all to eat all the leaves... now you've all starved to death!

Pile of shit beneath the pot... gross... I'm not going to be the one to clear it out

On a lighter note, the bonsai plant next to this dying plant is blooming.. it's like really rare to see flowers growing on it and I thought i should take a picture before all the flowers fall out

Hee... i really have nothing better to do.. but things in the garden are really interesting!! if only i can get to see the butterfly emerging from the cocoon!! =)

Caterpillars!!

2007-09-29T13:25:00.000+08:00

My plant is having a bug infestation!! with lotsa caterpillars.. i counted.. and there's like 5-6 caterpillars scavenging the plant for leaves... but too bad.. you've all eaten the leaves and now you're gonna starve!! hehe.. *evil grin

See that brown thing behind?.. that's the 'skin' which the butterfly left behind after metamorphosis.. SO MANY CATERPILLARS!! (i only took one particular caterpillar, there's still 5 crawling around)

And this particular caterpillar is about to become a cocoon.. quite cute ehh.. hopefully it doesn't fall off when the wind gets too strong.. THere's only the stems left behind.. no more leaves!

Oh.. and there's a pile of shit left beneath the plant... shit of the leaves.. haha!

Reminiscence

2007-09-28T22:24:00.000+08:00

Met up with yanling today for dinner... i walked to where we were supposed to meet, the path which i used to take to go to school when i was just Sec 1 and 2. As i walked.. I just felt like walking on this path forever.. and not ever stop. It's a strange feeling, walking on that path which i haven't took for the past 7 years.

Then i reached my old secondary school, which I attended in Sec 1/2 before moving to the new school. And i can see the canteen, the basketball court and the classrooms. The old kampung school hasn't changed a single bit. It's more tattered and torn, nobody's living in there and the weeds are growing everywhere..

It's abit like going into an uninhabited old castle where the plants grow everywhere covering the castle into a pathetic state. Though the school is like a haunted building now, with weed infestation, but I seriously hope it'll stay this way.. old and weed infested.. and curious.

After meeting yanling at the main gate, we headed for the church just next to our school. Though Im a buddhist, but being in a catholic for 12 years (including kindergarten), there's some sort of magical bond between the church and me, and sitting in a church made me feel really relaxed and at peace with myself.

I din pray for anything, i was just absorbing the environment surrounding me, looking at peple singing hymns, people praying, people kneeling, people giving thanks... sigh... if only i had brought my camera, I'd love to show off the church as well as my weed infested secondary school... pristine and clean..

sigh... if only i can return to those days.. carefree and relaxed.. with no troubles at all

Updates

I've got a hall!! In hall 16 too... fyi, its air-conditioned and huge compared to hall 8.. all thanks to jasmine, andy and sophia!!! thanks thanks thanks!!!

Hai.. but too bad.. will be living with a roomie whom I don't know.. a little apprehensive to be living with someone unknown.. but hey! on the up side.. I can make new friends and I can save a whole lot more time travelling.. Guess I'll be moving in on sunday juz before the holidays end..

Hmm.... not sure whether i'll be able to adapt to hall life after such a long time.. but considering the fact that there'll be mountains of reports to do after the term break.. i guess time is really golden and if i can cut short the travelling time... why not?? But i'll definitely miss yanling and shermaine... sob sob... :(

And oh!! i've jus signed up for facebook! I mean.. until now I still don't know how it functions.. but it's quite fun really.. I juz add all the features that my friends sent to me... and just try all the stupid buttons to see what it really is.. haha.... guess i just need a little more time to accustom to it.

And the last sad part of my life: its almost the end of the holidays!! one week holidays is really not enough! Not just for playing... but even if I have to bury myself studying all the notes for an entire week, its still not enough!! Someone has really got to change the system and extend the holidays a little bit more... say 2 weeks!! haha... though its not that possible.. but still!! there's only 4 days to the start of school.. and there's still so much studying to be done!! not fair.. i want to go to unimelb too..... :(

2007-09-09T11:54:00.000+08:00

Like a Star

just like a star across my sky,
just like an angel off the page,
you have appeared to my life,
feel like i'll never be the same,
just like a song in my heart,
just like oil on my hands,
oh.. i do love you,

still i wonder why it is,
i don't argue like this,
with anyone but you,
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,
you've got this look i can't describe,
you make me feel like i'm alive,
when everything else is a fade,
without a doubt you're on my side,
heaven has been away too long,
can't find the words to write this song,
oh.,.. your love,

~ Excerpt of song lyrics from Corinne Bailey Rae

Dedicated to you, for our anniversary :D

Field trip to the woods!

2007-09-02T19:55:00.001+08:00

Went to bukit timah nature reserve for Plant Bio field trip... HAHA... it was raining super heavily, with lightning and all.. but it was because of that that made it fun...

Us in the bus feeling excited and all .. with absolutely NO idea it'll rain afterward..

Well, we were supposed to be walking on the main road only.. wasnt as exciting as the last time i went to bukit timah with my poly dearest mates.. but i was twice or thrice as wet after the rain..

Our dear Prof.. looking casual with a collared tee and backpack..

The canopy of the forest..

And the rain came.. with no help from the umbrellas..

* the rain doesn't really look big.. but it WAS.. all my notes were drenched when my bag was water proof.. it went in through the zips!!

We reached the top!!! to reach for the shelter!! The stranded people all became luo tang ji (chicken that fell into soup)

Me and Andy.. both soaked to the skin

After the rain subsided a little, our Prof led the way down to the entrance thinking that the rain would stop soon... but NONO!! it became bigger again.. and lo behold a lightning struck juz beside us.. and something fell in the woods.. It was really LOUD.. both me and lishi screamed and we couldn't hear each other cos the lightning overrode both our voices.. imagine that!

Us in the bus on the way back to school... still soaked to the skin and heading back for a bloody 2 hour lecture!

Me and Karen were so cold..

And i fell sick after that.... :(
But nevertheless.. thanks PROF for the trip.. and you guys.. for sheltering me in the rain.. hee..

OO... look at the number of flavours.. my mouth is watering juz by looking at it.. hehe... most of the flavours tasted good.. but hongrui warned me against eating jalapeno.. said it tasted spicy? HAHA... how can a jelly bean taste spicy??? but i decided against trying it..

I'm a Happy GIRL despite endless tutorials...

Copulation

Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.

Hehe.. posted this video on youtube since it'll take a long time if i were to send it on msn..
Hm... the female tortoise looks really reluctant to copulate huh.. but the male doesn't seem to care a hoot! haha.. pardon my voice there!

Night Life

2007-08-17T17:51:00.000+08:00

It's the 2nd week at school already.. :( My life has taken a drastic turn for the past two weeks.. from a major shopaholic to a MUGGING aficionado. and there is REALLLY nothing to blog about the last boring 2 weeks (going for lectures, doing tutorials, killing worms etc). And from what I saw from Hr's blog, his recent birthday pre-celebration seems so fun, I've decided to blog about my night life during the holidays!

But apparently, I only have pictures from Clinic.. (forgot to bring camera to Zouk!!.. WHY!!)

The 7 of us.. at the 'medical' sofa outside Clinic :)

I always thought clinic was juz a normal pub, with some medical equipment.. I din expect them to have a dance floor!! But it was a major disappointment at Clinic really.. It was FRIDAY night!! but there were so few ppl that they didnt open the 2nd floor..

Plus..! I really thought there'd be cool gadgets inside Clinic, like surgical desk and those green oversized cloaks... But there were NONE of those there! the only 'medical thing' that I saw was that the table was the shape of a capsule... Disappointing!! AND AND.. the dance floor was pathetic!! the number of ppl dancing there can be counted within 2 hands!! and the music was crappy! oh wells.. at least there was good company!

The guys still not high yet!! ok... maybe except for desmond.. haha, that's the one in the centre!

We are not high too!! though we had ALOT of drinks..! Yanling's totally red!! Hai, so after the disappointment from Clinic, we decided to leave for supper..

Weekends are finally here!! Ive been enjoying and partying with friends over the last 3 months of holiday.. and so for the first weekend since school started, I'm determined to spend the weekends with my family *proud of myself :D

Nothing much really happened in school, but a lot of ppl complained about neurobio (including ME! its damn freakin hard!) the 4 of us (me, lishi, june and karen) bought the book and dragging it home made my 1.5 hours of travelling seem even longer :(

I mean, come ON! even the title looks disgusting, can you even imagine reading the contents?? and not to mention the thickness of the book.. its 1000+ pages for heaven's sake! Ok, we don't have to learn the ENTIRE book, but seriously, a FEW pages is enough to kill!

Hmm... maybe the only thing that's good about the book is that when you carry it on the train, with the spine of the book facing out.. you can literally feel the turn of the commuters' head to the book.. probably thinkin to themselves "is that a neuroscientist sitting opposite me?" HAHA!!

**and before I end, it's hongrui's 21st birthday next monday!! yay! You're gonna have the "KEY" soon!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! may you enjoy this very special day with good friends in Australia. it's a pity I can't be there to celebrate.. *sad.. but at least we could have another post-celebration when you come back! hee... looking forward to it!

Nostalgia..

School's started yesterday and I'm already starting to feel panicky .. esp after neurobio lecture. And i'm beginning to miss old school days, especially in poly.. Can't believe i used to complain about how poly life is so stressful!! In NTU, you wish you were dead... well.. not so exaggerating.. but you get the picture.

Oh well.. was looking through past photos and it actually helped in destressing! But nevertheless, there's always some tinge of sadness there.. when you see so many friends going overseas for higher education.. sigh... missing all those who went overseas!

At least it's comforting to know you'll all be back soon! *keeps fingers crossed!

Update on Holis

2007-08-07T11:57:00.000+08:00

I'm supposed to start this blog like ages ago.. well maybe not ages.. but at the start of the holiday. But its the HOLIDAYS! you're supposed to be enjoying and playing and all... and starting a blog is the least of all the things that I want to do..

So.. Im starting it now.. when I've already started school.. which is the MOST idiotic thing to do.. seeing i'll have no time to update at all until the next holidays. SO, I've come to my own conclusion..

BLOGGING IS NOT MY THING! But I'll still try.. REALLY try.. to update my friends and my special one in Australia.

So, for a start, I guess it'll be good to have an update on my holidays.. since school life will be so BORING there'll be nothing to blog about..

Hmm.. lets see.. Maybe i'll update on the 2 camps i've been to.. since those were the most recent events that occured. joined the Programmers and had a REALLY GREAT time! Takhent 07 was a major sucess (except for SP night- it was a total fiasco) and I'm sure all the programmers enjoyed 'torturing' the freshies. HAH!

Programmers galore!

During pool games.. it was raining outside so everyone was taking shelter!

Ghosts Galore! in changi chalet!! We don't look that scary with the lightings on.. but we WERE! A few freshies actually cried!!

I was quite apprehensive about the whole idea of having fright night in changi chalet.. especially when there were so many rumours going on about how changi bungalow chalets are haunted and so on.. and friends around me know how sensitive I was on the 'ghost' topic. But NOTHING HAPPENED! And a great deal of fun scaring the freshies!

Another ghost photo! I was supposed to ask the freshes to comb my hair while I recite my sad story of how I was raped and murdered and so on... There should be a 'lipstick' scar on the side of my face but apparently it's blocked by my hair.. So much for the Makeup!

SP (Secret pal or partner or whatever it's called) night! That night was a major letdown.. there were too many girls than guys (ratio was 6:1) and we couldn't pair the girls with the guys.. so in the end.. the entire plan was scrapped off and it wasn't that fun anymore :(.. nonetheless.. there were still RAUNCHY games so much so that I was a little put off by the games they thought off.

The worst was when a plastic sheet was placed in between a couple with Nutella spread across both sides of the sheet and the couple had to LICK as much of the Nutella AT THE SAME TIME! It's literally Frenching without the tongues actually touching each other! ohh.. and yummy at the same time :-)

So there.. a summary of the Camp!! Don't think i'll be joining FOC next year :( It'll be the last long holiday and it'll be more worth it to enjoy every single day of it :D..
