it’s the durian season again! :D rebecca leong’s mum bought us a box of durians as usual (: her parents are really nice people- they always gift us bakuas&oranges&candies etc during CNY, durians during durian season and logcake/fruitcake/turkey ham during christmas!
OH and rebecca leong is 7 this year. time really flies. she is with us ever since she was born into this world! :D from a cute baby to a irritating yet cute toddler followed by a annoying yet still as cute kid and now, a super nice and friendly schoolgirl! she will buy cute erasers from her school’s book shop occasionally and gift me one of them :D how sweet can a kid be!
(though she is highly discouraged from buying such useless things from the school bookshop. but which kid dont spend like that when they are young? :D)

im so used to having her around – i really dont know what will happen if her mum doesnt want to put her under my mum’s care anymore. i guess our sister sister love will just decrease as days go by.. and eventually our relationship will be like all the other neighbours living in the same block as me.. that’s really sad. hopefully it wont happen any time soon!

GSS is ending in 25 days. i have yet to purchase very important stuffs!
1. a plain silver Havaianas slipper
2. running shoes

okay i shall go out tml and search for these two. hopefully they are still on sales! :D

it was better than i thought! 13 people came for the sentosa outing, 1 left and 3 more came to join us for dinner.
the sky was nice to us! sentosa didnt receive any rain even though most parts of Singaopore experienced a shower! dark clouds came and went, came and went, and we were really thankful for that. Mingjie said that was all because he did a rain dance the day before. oh well…

MJ and i went vivo earlier than the scheduled time to check out the weather! :D it’s a sunny day with a blue bright sky :D woohoo! went giant to get some drinks and chips for our games (and also for the welfare of our people la…) and off we went, to SILOSO BEACHHHHH!
we played frisbee, volleyball (which is a failure because 3/4 of us dont know how to play..) and captain’s ball!
MJ team did better than my team in frisbee and volleyball of cos, and do note that HJ team was known to be a GG team with a vase. but we trashed them in captain’s ball! :D
* HI FIVE ROY! HAHAHAHA!

we played this GFAD game which was originated from a drinking game. will not go into details though. haha

videos and photos up on fb (:

here’s the stats for my blog..

so are you the one person who clicked on my blog every single day (except 20june)?

okay.. i’m really bored now. there is nothing much to do online you know.. (which is impossible because everyone knows that the internet does  wonders..) but okay, i dont know.

and WOW my last post is dated MARCH 2010. which means i have neglected this blog for 3 months already! poor thing.. but well, i have always been doing this to my blogssssssssssssssssssssszzxxzxzzz! haha okay la, now that i have nothing better to do online, i shall update this space at least once a week :D look out for new posts, people!

okay obviously many things happened since MARCH. 24 hours per day, 30/31days per month, 3 months.. so 24x30x3= 2160hours worth of happenings. haha let me try and recall what exactly happened in this 2160hrs.

Life Science D&D
okay this is a very funny event. At first this event was for graduating students only, but somehow i dunno what happened, they allowed all life sciences students to sign up. [probably due to low signups (:] after months of advertising, the uptake rates did not increase. so they lowered the ticket price from $60 to $20, and then from $20 to $0. (note:i cant really rmb if the initial price was $40 or $60) YES. FREE OF CHARGE. this is seriously unbelievable.. how can a 6-course dinner at Conrad Centennial Hotel be FREE. gosh. they must be really despo to fill up the seats. they even allowed non-lifesciences students to attend!
But well, turned out that the D&D was just QUITE okay- food was QUITE okay.. performances was QUITE okay.. and the pageant.. well, QUITE okay too. my friends and i were commenting that our money wont be well-spent if we actually paid for this event. so you could imagine how okay our D&D was. photos are up on my facebook, and they were already there 2 months ago. haha oh, and nicole couldnt make it because she drank too much the day before and fell ill on the day itself. HAHA! so in the end glenn sat with us! he’s a funny guy okay, he registered for the event ALONE, so the organising team placed him to be seated with 9 other strangers. haha!

Taiwan trip
Hey hey! i went for a short trip to taiwan with my family and relatives. so there were 9 travellers all together! we only visited parts of taipei because it is impossible to cover any further up or down (from taipei) in 4days. I would say that the trip was quite a rush one- we would go to 3 places of interest every day, so we went to 12places! site seeing, night markets.. shopping centres… we ate alot, but did minimum shopping. my brother, being a male, only planned for a 1.5-2hrs shopping trip per day ): plus i have no shopping buddy with me so i couldnt shop much too. i wasnt allowed to shop alone because they dont think taiwan is a safe place for a female to walk around alone. oh well… i’ll just take this as a warm up trip for me (: and how little did i shop? i brought about NTD7000 to taiwan, and  about NTD5500 back. so i spent only NTD1500 on food, transport, clothes and tickets for the places of interest, if any.
and of course, photos’ up on fb.

Skating
exciting paragraph! haha i have so many things to say about skating. i dont think it’s anything positive though! HAHAHA I went to the National Runway Cycling and Skating 2010 held at payalebar air base last weekend with the club. But not everyone turned up of course. Haha and you know what, last week was the first time I skated ever since our final papers in April. So I haven’t been skating for 2 going 3 months! No wonder my seniors say I am the slackest skater ever. Hahaha oh by the way, I still cant do a proper T-brake. HAHA! and I think im gg to help them out at the matriculation fair (:  I want to go there and seeseelooklook anyway!

Work
Knowing that I have only june to work, I tried to find a one-month job from the internet but I failed. Then one day my boss from gradebuilder (the tuition centre I worked at last year) called me and asked me to help him out in June. Okay actually he called me in early May and asked me to help him from May till July. But I rejected his offer. I have got my Taiwan trip in May and orientation stuffs in July. So I can only work in June! Plus I didn’t want to work under him again cause he is a ____ boss. (Yupp you know what word to fill in the blank.) Then he started calling me every 2 days trying to convince me to work for him, decreasing the working period from May to July to June to July to June only. Haha I guess he was desperate for a worker then. And since I cant find any job out there, I accepted his offer 1 week before I left for Taiwan.
Working at the parkway branch wasn’t as bad as working at the novena branch. It was damn slack. I could even read newspapers/magazines/go shopping at parkway parade/queue for koi/surf the net/play my itouch while working – because boss is usually not around! His office is at the novena branch (: (: (: so I get paid doing nothing! Just need to do what im supposed to do when something happens, or do something to prevent something from happening. Confused?
okay let me find an example.. I just need to collect fees when students pay, and call students to remind them that they have a class to prevent unwanted complains by their parents when they forget to come for lessons. Oh and of cos I did do some sales and managed to hit my target of getting 40 new head counts! Which means 40 new students in the month of June! How cool is that. But I hate doing sales.. I think it’s just a nicer way of saying pestering students to join the tuition centre. I hate it! But well, I did talk to them nicely and didn’t do hard sales. I am not those profit driven person so I don’t really care if I hit my target or not. But still, I did it! But boss was damn ____ this year- I was only given an extra $200 for my hard work. I received $600 for my 60 headcounts last year at novena okay!
I am so not going to work for him next year, unless he raises my pay.

okay, ive typed this post for over an hrs already.

time to take a rest, shall continue next time. haha (:

oh today is the last day of work for mui and penguin!

okay thats all. haha!
OHOHOHOHOOHHOOH, THIS IS IMPORTANT! im going to remove my braces in MAY!

im waiting for my apple which will be here only on monday! i shd have bought it on wednesday night la! ): i dragged for almost 3 days to make a decision of whether to get it engraved or not. but in the end i went ahead to buy my itouch online and get it engraved. haha okay here’s the pros and cons for engraving it.

pros: it’s personalised! :D so my itouch will one of a kind and i’ll feel better to have sth different from the crowd!
(but many said it’s a dumb decision to get it engraved because an engraved itouch would have a market value of $0. however, the market value is none of my business becos i wont intend to sell my itouch away! and why wont i sell it away – (a) because i think it’s hard to sell an electronics away? (b) even if i sell it away, how much shd i sell it? i will still lose out in the end (c) if i sell it away, which mp3 should i get now? as such, selling my itouch is quite an impossible move.)

Cons: i wont be able to get the complementary silicon casing, screen protector and travel adaptor that come with the itouch if i get one from apple authorised shop. so in other words, the engraving costs $19.90 (the silicon casing) + $9.90 (screen protector from apple for itouch) + $??? (the travel adaptor) = approx $30+. so engraving for more than $30 aint worth it!
however, the complementary silicon casing aint subjected to choice – meaning i cant choose the design, the colour and whatsoever. most probably i will be given a black casing which aint what i wanted! (i wanted to get a red casing for it..) thus, i will still fork out additional money to get a new casing.. as for the travel adaptor, i dont think ill need one since i will be always have at least a desktop or a laptop with me (i hope). even if i dont have one (eg. when im overseas..), i doubt ill use the itouch that frequently when im travelling!
hence, i bought my itouch online..

and i dont know everything will be done in CHINA =/ i tot the engraving will be done in Singapore! ): so i thought ill get my itouch on saturday.. until i tracked my “parcel” and realised it’s still in chinaaaaaaa! sighs.. nevermind, i hope my itouch will be fine – nth’s spoilt during assembly, nth’s spoilt during delivery. haha!
—-
one more month to finals! =/ better revise more diligently. i dint do well for all my mid terms (except for LSM1102 which is considered satisfactory. the others were all way below the average marks!)

okay time to go for a jog! (:

hmm anyway life has been treating me great (i guess). good health, good mood.. hmm what else. haha! anyway im typing this post in school okay! :D im in SCHOOL! waiting for my lecture to start so here i am, in the computer room located in the science library, haha.
oh yes, chinese new year is here, so im going to do sth to my hair as usual! gonna cut it on thurs (which is tml) and get my mum to dye my hair for me. and guess wad, im going to highlight my hair with brown beige dye too! haha. lets pray hard that it will turn out not THAT bad. haha
okay im hungry. going to get some snacks from the canteen :D
goodbye reader!

the first day of school was quite alright. sociology lecture came first, followed by my gem (GEK2001 changing landscape of singapore), then had a 4 hours break before my econs lecture (EC1301 principles of economics) at 6pm. reached home at ard 9.50pm becos we waited 40mins before we can board the super crowded bus95! super terrible! aiya, i dont think i’ll be going for econs lectures anymore since they have webcast lectures :D HOHOHO

wednesday was my second day. i had two core lectures and my first tutorial lesson in a LT. oh do you guys rmb my problematic first day of school last sem? HAHA! my 2nd day for sem 2 was problematic too! HAHHAA! okay, i thought my first lecture for the day was in LT32, so me and pei jun happily alighted at the stop after science fac and walked up. and we were abt 5 mins early okay! we opened the lecture hall’s back door, and saw nobody inside! HAHA! and me, being such naive person, thought we were EARLY for lecture!! HAHAHAHA! until pei jun told me it’s impossible. HAHA i tried to call eunice but she dint pick up my call. so i called nicole. and she told me the venue was LT26! HAHAHA so we went to LT26! and we aint late for lecture okay. (thats becos the lecturer didnt start on time. hahaha) oh and nicole took a cab there btw. haha!
after that i went for skating, and it’s really fun! but i dint manage to skate much cos the attendance was SUPERB. i think the club size grew by twice? or maybe near to thrice. there were hell loads of people, i’m so afraid of hitting/getting hit by somebody! HAHA and my shorts was dropping. thankfully i borrowed a belt from karen who borrowed the belt from wen qi. haha!

thursday, i had my first tuition assignment! primary 5 science and maths. my tutee is really adorable. haha very rebecca-leong. haha after that i went to watch avatar with pei jun and sai. very nice! make me feel like staying in pandora too! ): my fav movie tgr with narnia and twilight!

lets start with my new year resolutions! (not gonna be very long cause im rushing to pack my mini-luggage!)
1. i want to work harder! okay you can say street smart is better than a good uni cert, but no doubt a good uni cert is needed before all the street smart stuffs! dont get me wrong, im not looking down on people without a good uni cert, im not even looking down on those not-academically-wise people too! what im trying to say is that, i feel that once somebody has embark on the uni education journey, he/she has to do his/her best to get the best out of it! we are paying damn ex school fees okay, why waste that amount of money if you aint gg to work hard to get a good cert? you get me? HAHA i wouldnt say i slacked my sem 1 away, and neither would i say that i’d work hard enough. so.. hopefully i’ll do better in the next 2 semesters (this is a one-year resolution, so only for 2 sems! HAHA!)
2. i want to be healthier, and of course fitter. haha okay i can imagine this sentence in your head, HUH YOU ARE ALRDY EATING HEALTHILY WHAT! haha! you’re wrong okay! i do eat alot of breads (high in carbohydrates!), biscuits and cookies (FATS FATS FATS. trans fats somemore!), chocolates (you shd know what’s so bad about chocolates) and all the other stuffs la! [oh, and i just ate 2 donuts from j.co yesterday. HAHA!] and guess what, i brought an additional 2kg over to 2010! what the hell man ): so my target is to get back to my initial weight by 2011! and of course, i’ll have to start jogging longer distance which means can jog for a longer period of time, which will then mean higher amount of calories burned! and i need to build more muscles to increase my metabolism (: and of course tone where ever necessary.
3. i want to be a better person! aiya i dont want to elaborate on this! haha i’ll want to make my life meaningful okay! haha i just feel that i’ve spend my past few years in a more or less selfish manner. haha. well, ill probably start out by doing more CIP? [OH YA SAYING OF THAT, anybody wants to join me in the project rice thingy organised by red cross society? details can be found on the ivle events section. join la join la! HAHA! looks fun okay] oh and i’ll be happier when im a better person, so it’s an example of killing 2 birds with 1 stone!

so what plans do you have for the new year? (:

next post on 1stjanuary2010: my new year resolutions! ^^

anyway my results are better than i thought, but still. CUI. haha! at least dun need to S/U anything! cause i got only 2 different grades! HAHA! 3 and 2 of my 5 modules have the same grades. haha! okay, do ask me if you wanna know how i did. haha! ill tell u willingly! HAHAHA

i bought a watch yesterday! :D from fossil! it’s super nice okay! love at first sight. haha it’s something like this just that the strap is in black! :D cool right! HAHA was considering between the black and the brown one. i think the brown one is nicer cause the metal part is matte surfaced so it looks really great with brown strap. but in the end i chose black over brown because the black one can fit both formal and casual occasions! :D anyway i bought the watch at fossil boutique located at 313@somerset, hence no discount was given! $155 gone ):

oh before that, we were at beach road booking our genting trip! the promotion price was $88 per pax with transport and accomodation. but we upgraded our SIN-GENTING coach to royal VIP (more spacious, with a mini moniter infront of each seat) because the normal 25-seater coach (super VIP) is full ): we had to pay $10 more each so our transport and accomodation sum up to $98 per pax! ill be away on 3rd, 4th, 5th of january 2010!

YAY okay, time to bake brownie for my brother. HAHA

2. GYSB BOOMZ’ 09 on 9dec
haha, you know what does GYSB stand for? :D haha Get Your Sexy Back! haha! which i have no idea what it means. haha the event was at velvet underground. it’s my first time to zouk! YAY! anyway, i feel that this event was really weird. The tagline of GYSB: “It’s not the drinking, it’s how you are drinking.” so they are promoting responsible drinking, thats why the event is at zouk! but you know what, almost 80% of the people (including us-me, penguin, sai) dint drink! haha and nobody partied in the room. haha so it’s like, we went to a club but we didnt club! im going to copy and paste directly from penguin’s blog so..

1. Class outing on 12th december!
omg, i planned this screwed outing ): but still.. it aint as bad as i expected! haha! okay, here;s the whole story okay! gonna be a long one! open your eyes wider! haha
my class wanted a class outing so since my exams ended really early i thought of helping out in the planning! (but who knows it became a one-man-show. sighs.) okay so right, initially i wanted to cater food and have the gathering in a multi purpose room. but it was too late so we dint manage to get the room! we got the BBQ pit instead. so i intended to set up our food stuffs at the bbq pit area (: then great, just when i thought i’ve settled everything, hui fen (my that classmate who’s living in the condo) told me that the condo implemented some new management rules and regulations saying that one unit can only book one facility at a given time! so we couldnt get the KTV room and the bowling alley! which is really WTH, i chose her condo for that 2 facilities la! but she said she’ll try to get her neighbours to help book the other 2 facilities! but somehow the plan dint succeed, so i asked her to get the ktv room instead of the bbq pit. so poor her, had to go down to the management again to strike her name off from the bbq booking list and write her name down for the ktv room. and she even booked the bowling alley! which i though was quite a smart move (: haha! so, YAY, so everything’s settled alrdy! then… some of my classmates commented that they dint like the idea of having our gathering in the ktv room cos we will be quite scattered so it aint really a gathering! =/ which i thought so too.. after all the twists and turns we’re back to the KTV room. then okay, finally settled alrdy right! but GREAT, something cropped up again! on the gathering day itself, hui fen realised we have to provide our own CD! which is like WTH. then okay, nevermind! my another classmate, ian, said he’ll bring a movie DVD over so that we can watch it in the room. okay great, settled!
then!, so SUAY, ian last min got activated for guard duties. WTH man! fortunately i reached hui fen’s home early so i went to her house to get some DVDs. haha so my classmates watched the movie, CONNECTED in the end! :D we went to simpang bedok after we got chased out from the condo at 10pm. nobody wanted to eat so i dont know why we went there too. in the end we went over to the nearby playground to chitchat. i cabbed back home with haoyan, darren and gerald. haha! reached home at 1.30+am!

we’re building a dream, go singapore!
