Just keep Swimming..

*Welcome back Michelle!!!*

Headed over to bevie's house to swim in the morning.. and considering the rainy weather we've had fot the past few days, this morning was surprisingly sunny!!!
i was so happie that the sun was out!! We were just talking and having fun.. perfect way to catch up and relax!! Except that Bev n Jolyn were supposed to be studying for their exams!! haha i feel quite bad going to her house to swim actually, but since her parents didn't seem to mind too.. =)
-------
had church and went to pick michelle from the airport!!! =)
-------
Reached home a little late (well not late for me but late for my mother.) was supposed to reach home earlier to help with the packing. oops. then i was like, "uh-oh!" Then she didn't look too happie... yeah.
-------
i seriously hate all those mosquitoes!!!!!!!!!! Where in the world did all of them come from!?!?!?! arghhhhhh!!!!

Erm, don't think its true anyway.

i seriously think i have short term memory!! I feel that i forget a LOT of things!!! (surprise surprise) [*rolls eyes*]

K-Box

First of all,

Happy Birthday to Sally!!!

Went to KBox with the usual gang.. and we totally enjoyed ourselves! Though we each had to pay almost double of what we thought was the price. but oh well, non-stop singing from 2-7pm.. it was terrific!!

Basically sang the whole entire afternoon and early evening away..and i hope i can still sing properly tmr. haha.


The birthday girl!! haha

ok i'm quite tired to blog further..

Annoying blood suckers

argh!!! is it me or is there an increase in the number of mosquitoes in the house?! Where did they all come from?!

its super frustrating.. i keep using the repellent and they still don't die!! its like i'm unwilllingly feeding them.. !! Gosh, they cunningly sneak up to you and suck your blood without asking for permission and still dare to leave a horrid bump mark on the skin which itches and itches!! arhhh!!!

*DIE! MOSQUITOES DIE!!!!!* (muahahahahahh! *evil laugh*)

Well actually i heard that mosquitoes leave their saliva in you after stinging. It' to prevent the blood from clotting so that she can enjoy her feed, until she is full. ( ARGH!!! The nerve of HER!! and yes, its only the females that bite..tsk!! ) the protein (protein?!? like am i supposed to be grateful now?!?) from the saliva sort of triggers some reaction from our immune system, resulting in the swelling. So the body's immune system actually has to break down the "protein" before the swelling can go down. AND!!! not all people when bitten, will feel the itch.(those lucky few!!) It all depends if they are allergic to the mosquitoes' saliva.

gosh, i hope the mosquitoes are like "dengue fever negative".. like, don't bite me and leave me with an itchy swell AND dengue. oh please no..

*squints eyes, looking out for those bothersome creatures*

Photos Galore

Finally got the photos!! Enjoy! Don't rip any of them!!

Batam was a Blast!!

i'm back from batam, aching and tired, but nevertheless, happy!

----Sat----

It was really quiet over there and we had great weather!! Though initially after lunch, when we wanted to go do the water sports, the skies were rather dark and we heard thunder!! Then i was thinking like, "ohh nooo!!!" Even the adults adviced us not to go, so in the end we went to check in into our rooms. However, due to some arrangement of the booking or transport and dinner, we realized we had the whole afternoon off..! with NOTHING to do! in the end, since it STILL wasn't raining, we went ahead with the water sports.

The parasailing was super expensive!! a whooping 25 buckaroos! (ok la, not THAT costly, but for parasailing, its not worth it) so in the end all 4 of us took the banana boat and kayaks!!! *grin*

the banana boat was not too bad. It was freezing cold even before we fell into the water. All the wind blowing and Sarah & Eileen claimed that their teeth were chattering! And the water was so much warmer..til we went onto the boat again, then it got more chilly. *brrr* but all in all it was great fun! BUT! They only wanted to overturn the banana boat once!! til eileen asked the unlce to overturn it again. The uncle was nice enough to do so..=) after that, we went to kayak. the water was surprisingly calm despite the signs of rain. Although it would be more fun with some waves, we still had fun. Since it was still early, we went swimming in the pool-borrowed a ball and played around, attempting to shoot it into the hoops provided..

Went for a full body massage.. and it was so ticklish that i kept laughing. (surprise surprise). had a headache after that.. think it was due to lack of food. was so HUNGRY!! we went to buy snacks and those dry food before going to have dinner. bought my MAGGI!!!!(indo mee rather) and ARNOTT's Tarlets!! i LURVE them.. its so gooD!!!! yummilicious.

----Sunday----

went to swim again in the morning before having breakfast. ooh then we had this friendly clown guy in the hotel hanpaint our hands for all 7 of us..(using face paints)..then he taught 4 of us some dance..(the adults went off on thiri own) which looked a lot like line dancing..=) he taught us three different ones.. and in turn we taught him our 5,6,7,8 dance!! haha so fun man.. all of us dancing at the lobby area,(for abt an hour??) with so many ppl looking.. went back into the rooms to take crazy shots before sleeping again..

all in all, it was really fun!! =)my mum had a good time too.. haha.

A tribute to the people around me

[Music: Light in your eyes]

i am in the thoughtful mood again..

Suddenly i am so thankful for so many things.

i should learn to be more thankful more often. yes i should.

I am:

Thankful to God (of course) for everything, and his continuous blessings.

Thankful for my dad & mum, for just loving me..always there to encourage me, give advices..for doing all sort of things for me, and for bringing me into this world.

Thankful for my friends, who are always there to give a hug, always there to talk to, always there to laugh with, always there to cry with. always there to encourage.. always there to listen, always there to help. there to give wild ideas, to have someone to go crazy with.

thanks to all for making my life so colourful.

=)

Fun at Jasmine's

At long last i went to Jas's place today. haha it was quite an "achievement" for me as knowing me, i'm quite lazy.. and her house is ALL the way at the OTHER end of Singapore!! So FARR!!!! haah but yeah, since i already gave her my word, and even postponed the day, i finally went down in the end. Well it was really enjoyable, we watched vcds, namely A Cinderella Story(like finally!! i know i'm super lagging here) and Save the Last Dance ( ok, this is even more lagging. the show was like, two plus years ago?) but anyway, i still prefer "Centrestage".. Then we also sang some songs. haha i was trying to figure out how to read the words and get the pitch right..*screech* well, actually, it wasn't THAT bad.. haha i lurve her room!! so cosy woosy.. makes me wanna go to IKEA again! that reminds me.. i wanna eat their yummilicious swedish meatballs!!

Turns out that i would have been able to go to Batam after all regardless if the briefing was on, since athel's parents paid everything in FULL..

Sally was asking me if i wanted to join them to go K-Box tomorrow.. but i can't make it, since i already told my dad i would be meeting him for lunch.. so oh well. i managed to sing a little today.. so nah.. another time yeah peeps? prolly when the rest are done with their exams.. if not i can't imagine the situation when chris sings..HAHAHA. like that time.. ok i'll stop suanning him. LOL. In the meantime, Sally can go do her impersonation of Fish Leong. (at least, i THINK its fish leong-haha no no, its fish dippers.)

OK lame alert!!!haha.

I CAN GO!!!

yay!! i can go!!! [Thank u God, Thank u Mum.]

i just lurve my mum. shouts:" i love u muM!!"
(okie, of course i still love her whether she lets me go or not, but now i LURVE her for trusting me and letting me go..) Thanks MOM!!!!

for a moment i thought blogger was down. well their maintanence was pretty fast i must say...

Oh Man!!!

No no no!!!! The briefing is this Saturday!!! aargh!!!!!!!!!!

So its a 90% chance that i can't go!!!!! sigh..!!!!

majorly disappointed. =/

Chop Chop

I finally had a haircut!!! Met Jasmine and had lunch before taking the shuttlebus from C K Tang...all the way to Great World City. Well i must say that i like my new haircut!! though i need to learn how to style it..and i hope it doesn't "PONG" up.. though it wasn't as short as i wanted it to be.. the hairstylist was telling me that if it was too short, it wouldn't look good due to my OH-SO-THICK-HAIR. And he was kind enough to give me a discount..head feels really light now!!

Then went over to Far East with her to cut HER hair.. basically it was a "cutting hair" day today.. hahaha.

My mum has to attend this briefing.. and i hope it doesn't clash with the Batam trip!! Cos if she's attending the briefing(she HAS to attend) it means she can't go to Batam. And if she can't go to Batam, it means I can't go either!!! aHhhh!!! no no no!!!! so yeah, pretty please don't clash with each other!!!! otherwise, Athel's daddy will do the bookings tomorrow! Yipee!! Can't wait!!! =)

Hmm does my hair look better before or now? haha.. just asking!!

Click

Finally got the pictures from Sarah.. and athel! haha. ok i'm bored lah ok.

ooh i like the background!!!

At wheelock place..

Cute finger puppets!!!!

Fisherman's hat.

Me being the havoc one. i think its just me okay cos i was going ALL OVER THE PLACE. Crashed into the lampost. sheesh. No i wasn't injured, in fact i was laughing hysterically. Then i had this basket attached infront, and it was DENTED. it was already dented when i got the bike, but i didn't remember it being THAT dented. Thankfully the lady didn't ask me to pay or something.

haha and okie i'm kinda tired to blog about everything that happened..

What a Gigantic Relief

CDEV paper today was, a disaster!! So many application questions came out, like- 12 ways to play with a rattle. what in the world!?!? My eyes literally grew bigger and bigger as i read each questions.. thankfully my heart rate didn't excelerate.. even crapping didn't help! but oh well, its over. i'm more interested in having fun now..

i have a huge appetite for FUN..

had a super filling lunch at NYDC!! so full that dinner was just prata. But all in all, it was a fantastic way and day to wrap up the semester!

*happy sigh*

Yipee...

yay!! One down, one more to go!!! hmm, the paper was, haha OOOKKKKKAAAYYYYYY lah. could do most of it. I think. Though the mark allocation was *gasp*!!! so much!! and what i studied was like only enough to cover like a third of the marks.. unless the teacher is very generous with the marks, i highly doubt that for a few lines i'll get like 11-12 marks. so i did what i always do. crap my way through.. hey i think it is a useful skill to have ok.. HAHA. Then there were the usual "since when we learnt that?!?!" questions.. i was like deciding & choosing which question to do..that is, which qusetion would i lose the least marks in..LOL. but oh well, its over. And for the first time, i actually sat through the entire 2 hours.. usually by the first hour, many would be done. Many people felt the same way apparently, cos not many people left the examination hall.. haha. yepp.. that's second year papers for you.

But i'm still happie!! cos my PQS group got an A+ for our project!! the CUTES rawk man!! Way to go guys!! (right auntie?? kekez) all the hard work paid off.. well, it always pays off doesn't it? *grinz*

Can't wait for tue too.. made an appointment with the hairstylist!!! can't wait to chop everything off...!!

it has yet to begun...

ooh yay!! the papers are tomorrow!! like, FINALLY!! Though its in the afternoon.. i prefer it in the morning actually. i can't wait to get it over and done with. sheesh, i even wished it was today instead!! argh!! i can't wait to have fun. yep. Fun is all I have in my mind now.. i can't seem to find any more stuff to study for tomorrow's paper. And it seems i'm not the only one!! ALL the handouts and notes seem to be repeating itself.. and just reading and re-reading it again & again makes me so tired of it!! argh, so yeah so i'm here taking another break... since i'm so wide awake. Hopefully after this, i'll have some motivation to study again.. just a quick reading for all my notes and i'm done!! woo hoo!! I can't wait for sat!! it marks the end of my exams, and officially the end of the semester. And i'm so hyper now.. i feel like daincing!!!

*and geri dances & prances*

I've more or less planned waht to do for the coming week already! am i fast or what..HahA.

bah!!

I hate it when u always make her cry.
I hate it when u r such a control freak.
I hate it when u go to her when u need her and flick her away like dirt when u don't.
She doesn't deserve u.
u r not even worthy of her.
always changing your mind...

argh. forget it! u make me sick.

[edit] ahh! scratch all that.
bev u know where to look. [/edit]

Anyone knows this song??

"For He's within to finish
What's begun in me
He opens doors that no one can deny
He makes a way where there's no other way
And give me wings to fly..."

I typed this on my computer quite some time ago..recently came across it again.
i forgot to add in the singer and song title, and i only typed a portion of it! i wonder why! argh!! and now i'm on a quest to find out the song!! haha.. so if u know the song, please tell me yarh?? hee thanks!!

BOOM BOOM BOOM

Aahhhhh.

I finally have peace and quietness in my house- except for the usual tv sound-everything is good. Upon reaching home, or rather, before i even stepped into my house, i could already hear my neighbour BLASTING his karaoke set, and singing at TOP volume. probably level 10 or something. Like, are you hard of hearing or something?? its SO SO LOUD!!! and his house is barely 5 meters away! its so annoying! especially when u are trying to study! its doesnt help that the weather is also so freaking warm!! *Rawrr!* i was like, "patience!!" *inhales deeply* On the bright side, at least his singing is not bad. Wouldn't it be worse if he screeches his way through?? yup. [The brighter side] Haha i should probably go over to ask him if I can sing some songs too..bring some discs along. after all, if u can't beat them, JOIN them!! haha ok- don't smack me, i'm having weird ideas again..
+++++++
FOUR days to study! I am so grateful for the study break! cos poor bevie n jovi are not given any breaks at all!! Is the school trying to kill you guys with stress overload or something??
+++++++
Eileen was asking me to join her for "WhiteChicks" tomorrow.. tempting! but nah, i'll stick to my studying. putting all enjoyment on HOLD until after saturday!! Remember our cycling date with LauYing on the 17th!! *grinz*

Two to go

Alrighty!! Today's Financial Management test was not too bad! oh well, whatever! what's done is done, worrying doesn't help. And i'm OFFICIALLY DONE with accounting!! Don't get me wrong, i don't particularly hate it, in fact on the contrary, i like it! and my accounting notes are the notes that i read the most often! To think the test is 40%,the same weightage as my written exam papers.. makes u think of the exams lightly..haha! i hope my "whatever" mode does affect my studying..
+++++++
i'm will currently be in the geek cum nerd mode for this week. starting on monday..muahahah. Told myself NOT to go online..at least, not during the day. probably only from 23:30 onwards. so IF u happen to see me online, haha it means i've been a naughty girl..

Its seven eleven!! time to hit the books. yeah, i wish i could literally HIT them. just fling them all- my notes and textbooks-across the living room and or straight into the bin. Its a pity I can't just rip the notes into shreds or burn them. Cos i still need them for.. well, for a pretty long time. haha now where did that crazy idea come from?!?!

Last day of school, first day of real studying

yay!!! My list of projects is FINALLY shorter!! ( as u can see below the comment links) So there's the accounting test tomorrow plus my two written papers both weighing 40% each at the end of the week and i'm done with Year 2 sem one!!

Haha speaking of my written papers, i have so much reading for DLE(Designing Learning Environments) and for CDEV 2.1 (Child development)there is quite a bit of memorizing to do! *ahem* correction. A Lot. haha. so i have like, approximately 6 days to cram a whole semester's work into my brain.. yay yay. Right.

oh well! i already planned so MUCH things to do during this hols!!! *grinz* All the things planned from the prev hols that were NEVER done, all brought forward!! haha, kayaking, cycling, skating, pool, basically just enjoying.. ok better not get too carried away just yet. YET.

haha and gaya's lame tale of her "geography class: 'feeling texture' of pebbles" thingy just craks me up!! LOL!!

p.s and i never knew that macaroni n uncooked green beans could be eaten just like that.. u have to see it to believe it. yep! HAHAHA ok, i'm mad now, laughing over sth that happened like 10 hours ago.. so slap me.

on hugs..

It's wondrous what a hug can do.
A hug can cheer you when you're blue.
A hug can say "I love you so."
Or, "Gee, I hate to see you go."
A hug is "Welcome back again."
"Great to see ya, where ya been?"
A hug can soothe a small child's pain,
And bring a rainbow after rain.

The hug! There's just no doubt about it,
We could not survive without it.
A hug delights and warms and charms;
It must be why God gave us arms.
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
Swell for sisters and for brothers.
And chances are some favorite aunts
Love them more than potted plants!

Kittens crave them, puppies love them;
Heads of state are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier,
It can make a bad day merrier.
No need to fret about the store of 'em:
The more you give,the more there are of 'em.
So . . . stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today!


gosh i just like this poem..

Planning...

ooh!! so exciting!! Athel, Eileen, Sarah, Tricia, Chihiro and me are planning to go to Batam after our hols for a couple of days!! ooh i SO SO wanna go!! i asked my mum b4 and she said no. But this time, Athel's parents are going too. Then i was like, "mummy ar, i want to ask u something." She went, "ask la! abt Batam is it?" like, Woah!! she can really read my mind. fine, she's not my mother for nothing right.. LOL! So anyway, she said i can go only if she goes. So yay!! i don't mind her coming along.. i so wanna do the water sports!! The banana boat and parasailing!! Though i doubt my mother would be interseted in anything to do with the air or water..haha the adults can probably go have a nice massage or sth. =) i CAN"T WAIT!!! haha i hope my mum is serious and wasn't kidding man.. woohoo! i got sth to look forward too!! yipeee!!!
+++++++
Had this craving for Fish Mcdippers while on the way home..called my mum to ask if she could buy som for me onthe way home from work..

Me:mummy arh, u finish work already?? Can help me buy fish dippers pls??
Mum:Buy from where??
Me: McDonalds la..
Mum:U go buy yourself lah, i not finished with work yet. Y u want to buy fish dippers for??
Me: err.. to eat la!!
Mum: HUH!?!?! u want to but fish STICKERS TO EAT?!?! how to eat?!
Me:(LOL) Not stickers!!! Dippers!!!

i have such a funny mother. nevertheless, i went alone to settle my craving..Fish Dippers simply Rawks! yummilicious. I hope i still have room for dinner..!=)

Give us Clean Hands

We bow our hearts
We bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes
From evil things
Oh Lord we cast down our idols

So give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh God let this be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
Oh God let us be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob

This is a nice song!! Anyway, my monday morning seems to be getting better! Though i woke up with a headache at first. i'm enjoying the quietness & peace in my home.. and i'm in such a thoughtful mood. It's just one of those days where u think a lot and reflect about life..

Anyway, taking a short break from studying..a REALLY short one. after this i'll go back to my work... PROMISE!! =)

+Blessed

Full and happy

I feel like it was the holidays already! haha ok! time to change back to my study mode...

A BIG thank you to all those people who brought food (of whatever kind, both big and small) and the drinks too!! =)

Cheery Saturday Morning

Happie Birthday to Jody, my dear cousin!!!!!

Hope you are doing well over in Australia!! haha though there won't be any birthday dinner with you this year.. Hmm, y don't all of us celebrate on your behalf?? haha kiddin. =)

Suddenly i wished i was in an IT course.. don't get me wrong, i still LURVE my course on childhood, but personally, computers fascinate me a whole lot! and its amazing what computers can do.. all the programming.. COOL! So interesting to learn all those codes and erm, more codes?? haha, though if my IT friends were reading this, they'll probably laugh, and go, "HAH!!!" cos they keep complaining how tough their course is... :p

But anyway, what a BEAUTIFUL day!!! don't u just LURVE saturday mornings??? sleeping in late (for once!!!) having delicious breakfast (my blackcurrent tea), watching tv.. *sniffs the air* Perfect day to slack....... NOT. oh well, it CAN be a perfect day to study!! haha in case u can't tell, i'm trying to convince myself here.. =) hee~

hmm, i think there's the flu bug going around or sth.. everyone seems to have similiar symptoms! sheesh, and i finally decided to go to a doctor..was telling him about the chest tightness and he said that it may be due to muscle spasms. I was like, " erm.. what causes that??" Then he said its either due to a viral infection, from the result of coughing too much, overwokring or too much stress.. HMM. He wanted to give me painkillers but i was like, "NO!!" it sounds too EXTREME! told him i would monitor my condition..whew. Initially i thought it was sth to do with the heart, since its always on the left side..ha then he was telling me to stay of away from CHOCOLATES!! and all the fried food.. and have more water..(something which i MUST do) i'm like dehydrated! waterbottle comes back from school almost full! then i came home and the catered food had to be fried chicken and curry veg!! argh.. i so wanted the curry veg!! haahaa
