如今此刻的我的确是有一点疲倦

like how a kid with itchy fingers like to pick at scabs, peel them before its done healing, and let it bleed some more, and then cry out that it hurts.

time to mug

Steve Jobs said

Live everyday like its your last day. Look into the mirror and ask yourself, if today were the last day of your life, will you be doing what you plan to do?

I think this is the wrong time to be thinking about this, but don't think I'm getting uninspired.. just wondering. this week a number of friends tell me how they have so many things they wanna do after A levels, and we just cant wait for this 2 months to go away. Some wanna drive, go overseas, play carefreely.. I can't wait to resume dance (i feel all the fats accumulating and snowballing already!), go teach at Discovery Camps (oh the adorable kids..) again, and finally go on an overseas CIP.. I think honestly if I were to spend today doing what I wanted to do most before I die, it probably won't be sitting at home/in library/in the canteen/in classrooms/on the couch (trying) to mug. Maybe a lot of people have this kind of sentiments now cos they're getting quite tired of mega mugging madness for the last term. Having people around you that draw up study calendars since the beginning of term 4, or half the class missing in tutorials and lectures (and almost no doubt sitting in library mugging) can be quite stressful.. I'm hoping that I can take it slow, for after prelims there's still A levels. Prelims is not the end, theres still that last lap that I don't wanna run out of breath for. From now it'll probably be very focused mugging. am pleased to say I'm ready for it. (still wanna watch mimi..) here's to a month of full time mugging. I think after today I can finally sit down and mug the whole day without thinking what's teachers going through tomorrow.. cheers. and for now, I guess Steve Jobs' advice shall be thrown out the window, and stay down there for a while, until we go retrieve it again after A levels.. We save everything for after A levels..

On a completely random note, last night rained so heavily that I felt the atmosphere was so thoroughly cleansed after that downpour. (and so was I, literally feeling like a chicken in soup when I got home, soaked through and through!) The night sky was cloudless, blacker than I've ever seen, the moon shone so brightly and the stars were shimmering. (Yes I actually saw quite a lot of stars quite clearly). I sat in my living room reading notes while enjoying the cooling winds of the night coming in through my balcony. And then the most horrible thing spoilt the night, smell of cigarette smoke wafting in.. Grr.. Who needs cigarettes on such beautiful refreshing nights like this?!

Saturday.

Mega Mugging Madness. I wanted to blog about this yesterday. but had to leave for fireworks by the time I remembered to sign into blogger lol. Our J1s this year quite sweet, don't think councillors in our year were that enthu.. probably would have shot down the idea immediately. so really kudos to the j1s who thought of this idea, who defended it and those who saw in through. it was, in my opinion, really rather mad. mad thing number 1: they have free dinner buying service for us while we stay in school to mug. first there are so many people mugging in school! how many trips and how many people would they need.. second: there was this buncha ppl in my classroom who asked for KFC dunno what meal, change mash potato to cheese fries, change drink to mountain dew. and everyone came up with their own meal wif their own preferences. i thought, 'wah imagine everyone who went down to order had their own preferences..' o.O i think the j1s really deserve applause for their courage to do this. dunno whether its only for this week.. mad thing number 2: they had individually packed study packs for every J2, personalised pencils with names written with marker and with alphabet macaroni. imagine all the tedious work they put in to do this for every J2. dun matter even if they spell my name wrongly. lol. then there were sweets and coffee mix. they must have quite a big budget this year.. but then ah.. i think although mad thing number 1 was probably well received and greatly appreciated, i dun think mad thing number 2 made people very touched or anything. Even though we know it probably require a lot of effort, not many J2s felt they really appreciated the J1s packing this, or felt very spurred on to mug harder cos of their encouragement.. actually first thing that came to my mind was, wah this year they got so much time to pack these.. dun need to mug promos ah.. lol but anyway, great job 27ths.

Fireworks. so cool la.. i always watch fireworks from padang, esplanade, anywhere else except at the exact location where its supposed to be. this year go to the marina bay floating platform lei.. and the fireworks was coordinated with the music so zhuang4 guan1. usually fireworks just on its own no music or anything.. and the fireworks shot from the platform as well as the floating barges on the bay itself. i always thought fireworks must come from land cos someone need to stand there to light it haha =p i like the one that came up with a silver/white tail and exploded in purple lights. purple + silver = damn pretty =D and i like the red ones that after exploding for a while they turn into golden sizzles haha. lol i love the terms that i use. =p really ren shan ren hai, shui xie bu tong, so many people lorh.. haha but quite cool. went home real late. heng i caught my last bus back. there was this mum with the kid in my bus's queue and the poor little kid was tired and whining.. mum had to keep the kid awake.. telling him you're heavier when u're sleeping..

today. salmon salmon salmon. the taste of it is still in my mouth. omg. of all the great fish i took today only the taste of salmon still stays in my mouth lol.. went sushi tei. they are really quite zai lorh. super fresh. the salmon qq de. it was cooked, not raw de. my family ordered quite a spread. if only i had my camera phone i would take nice pictures.. my brother got the barbequed eel with sushi rice plus side dish fried baby ebi (prawn). my mum got her tempura udon that she says she cant resist not ordering it, taking something else more special instead. i got a seafood paper hot wok. cant remember its exact name. chose miso soup base. and in it was silken tofu, mushrooms, lotsa vege and carrots, large scallops, crab, prawn (omg their prawn was so crunchy and so fresh that the whole thing just came out of the shell so easily and it was sweet.. I don't ever remember having nicer prawns than this) and of course salmon. comes with some beehoon like thing inside also but I didn't know at first, so i got myself cold cha (greentea) soba. I love soba =) nicer than ramen and udon. my brother had a mixed seafood bowl that comes with rice. includes salmon roe, fresh tuna salmon crab sashimi and the japanese egg (not the chawanmushi). my dad got a ramen and a set of otoro sashimi. otoro is apparently the tuna's belly and is the best sashimi, nicest part of the tuna, nicest fish. lol on top of it all, we had more sashimi, salmon otoro and yellowtail, as well as sushi, where i took the octopus one, my mum took the squid and the double baby prawn one, my brother took the salmon, other brother took the salmon roe and the tuna, think there was 2 more but i dun remember which they are. omg delicious. lol dun wanna know how much this all amounted to...

dad in super good mood today lorh.. go vivocity buy so many things. bought my brother new adidas shoes, he always gets branded new shoes, and i havent even worn branded shoes before =/ well and my other brother got 2 pairs of levi jeans O.O congratulate him for his first 2 pairs of jeans lol. no one would believe he doesn't have his own jeans.. I may have many pairs of jeans but they all come from my aunt. i don't complain. haha my figure very difficult to get good jeans that fit well. my aunt's figure's more or less like mine so she pick all the fitting ones for me le. =p my mum spotted a nice jacket in G2000 that she thinks will fit her dress very nicely. $99. but G2000 closed by the time we went back, she tells me we're supposed to come back tomorrow to get it. I told her don't worry, its new arrival, won't run out of stock so quickly. she said, what if no more sizes? lol i'm amused. my mum's also eyeing a nice bag that i picked for her. she can't wait to get rid of her current bag. haha my dad picked it and bought it and at that time, my mum's first response was, why u buy this kind of ah ma bag for me.. LOL the bag i picked was of course much nicer ;) but she was having 2nd thoughts cos it was a little too expensive for her. and then there was promotion for spanish wines (i think its damn cool for vivocity to have a corner for spanish stuff.o.O) I think my dad got 2 Cava and a Sangria (which apparently means the Holy Grail. my family tried it when they went spain last year end, theirs was mixed on the spot and it was called Sangrael). I'm not particularly enthusiastic when it comes to wine tasting cos i don't really like the bitter aftertaste. all alcohols have bitter aftertaste =/ but i think this one's quite different. actually tastes quite nice =) haha so everyone yi ren2 yi dai4 when we went home.. tomorrow my mum's dai4 will be on its way back haha. went to look at gowns but not really in the mood to buy anything yet. havent seen something that i really like.. so man man lai la still got a lot of time. i should be mugging and doing my portfolio and personal statement now anyways.

流泪手心 - 王力宏

云飘在天空
浪在海流动
这世界太多无法掌握的梦
你站在风中
你是自由的
生命有太多不得不分的痛
当你将离别握在我手心
我听见爱被悄悄捏碎的声音
你不懂你不要的我的心
会随你松开的手而喊停
我试着微笑
试着拥抱
在每一秒
我不想看见闭上的眼睛
害怕你最后
化成泪流出手心
你给过的承诺
我怎能不放手
当你诚实诉说
他的爱多辽阔
这是我的手
它牵过你往事中度过
这段漫长的路不该走到寂寞

天啊,好旧的歌,但总是最好听

Thursday, August 02, 2007

we are really quite dependent on technology eh? especially our handphones. honestly if you lost your handphone, together with all your personalised profiles, photos and music in your memory card, contacts in your directory, 900+ messages from friends teachers and all people dear.., you'll probably feel like a part of your soul got deleted.. the phone virtually records your life in pictures words music.. really sudden realisation, cos today my phone got taken for repair. and i smartly forgot to transfer all my contacts into my sim card. and i know i cannot copy all my messages into my memory card either. so haii. was quite distraught for a while.. i shall not forgot my contacts in my directory ever again.. meanwhile i'll have to find someway to recover all my contacts numbers.. sigh

and today. my nose pwned me.
ie i should sleep now.

一千零一夜

词 唱:邰正宵

她总是不言不语
黄昏等到天微明
拔弄着怀那把无弘琴

寂寞里秋来春去
诺言随风都飘零
梦中人还是没捎来一点消息

一千零一夜
没有一夜不思念
每一份想念
化做不成双的蝶
一千零一夜
没有一夜不流泪
流到心里面变成雪

那一夜一场大雨
园里的花落满地
那是他为她种的金线菊
当有人劝她放弃
她会微笑看着你
手心中紧紧握着发黄的回忆

一千零一夜
夜夜看到她思念
究竟谁让她
有那么忧虑的脸
一千零一夜
夜夜听到她流泪
不知该怎么去安慰

是真心都疼真心
让我就从今夜起
在身边为她轻唱温暖的旋律

这首歌好旧好旧了,我想在我这一代的人也没多少人听过他的歌,每次都那么伤感那么凄美。

i love the beautiful sky above my forest.



i love how the sun sets on my forest.

do you think sheep ever prize their fur like girls prize their hair? when sheep are unwillingly shaved, will they worry about not looking nice anymore without their fur while all other sheep still have their fur coats?

a tree to remember

the tree was like my grandmother

i knew it was going to go but i didnt know it was going to be so soon, just as my grandmum's passing was quite sudden..

somehow it always held a quite important place in my heart even though i never really had very significant or memorable memories with it. always wanted to sit under that tree and somehow like talk to it. but that wasnt very possible since it was in the middle of the road. i never managed to spend a lot of time with my grandma as i grew up (and realised that only too late), but somehow she was very important to me and i'll never forget how she always looked so 慈祥 and took great care of me when i was a child. something that baby dada will not have the chance to experience..

such a magnificent tree that i always thought was quietly majestically pretty standing there in the middle of the road, it provided great viewing pleasure everytime i walk down to gerald's bus stop. and it added nature's touch to the rest of the scenery which consisted mainly of construction and RJC's green white buildings.

must haf been quite a lonely tree watching all the cars zoom past at alarming speeds..

and quite sadly i havent taken a picture of it that i kept. i remember taking moon sets from that side of the road as i walked to school in the morning cos it was quite pretty. but my phone wasnt good enough to capture the splendour so i deleted them..
sigh

*
and here's something most people would find rather anticlimax. found a really pretty bug on my brother's window today. quite huge. about 5-7 cm in length























thats the reflection in the window of the opposite wall of my brother's room. its almost pitch black outside cos the window faces the forest. the bug has bright red legs and i thought the 花纹 on the bug was very clear and sharp =)

THE IQ question

haha just for boredom's sake, i decided to post the question that jiahui posed me on my bday. its supposed to lead me to the other half of the presents from my sisters. lol

haf fun!

my 18th bday!

oh it was a wondrous day =D took many pictures since last friday haha i shall post them since pictures speaks many more words than i probably will type in one entry =p

6july went marina south hoping to fly kite only to find the grass spaces cordoned off and the whole place seemed quite abandoned. there was no wind to fly kite and the "kite flying space" was so small and so many trees i don't think anyone will ever try to fly kite there. but went to somewhere where we could see the sea and heres some pics taken about 7pm



7july went for psc talks then went toy museum with the SGH CIP gang. a curious place with interesting things. i never knew theres a dog called Bonzo the dog which Felix the Cat was supposed to challenge lol and batman used to be so short and stout (doesnt that sound like a teapot?..)

the predecessor of Darlie toothpaste XD 原来它叫“黑人牙膏”是有原因的..

used to haf a little mermaid painting book something like that, all i needed was a cup of water and a paint brush. and i loved it. haha it was one of those things that my brothers never played with haha!

handcrafted chinese wooden dolls made by girls saved from brothels in China. the faces look so real..

the first wooden doll made by this man who got a bunch of refugees to make dolls to earn money.

my favourite: dancing dolls! a whole row of them! how sweet!

11july
sisters had a big M celebration for me during break. candle on a muffin haha it was so cute! gave me half a present and asked me to solve a hilarious IQ puzzle to get the other half hahaha! jiahui drew some elfish looking thing lol. and there was even a careless error in it which i was ofcourse able to identify hahahahaha!!!!!
went out after the law talk. we played 2 games of bowling..which left me aching all over today =/ so lousy XD walked around marina square while gerald espounded on his expertise on choosing handbags hahaha yeesian and i were quite amused =P we walked from esplanade across the bridge to fullerton hotel, which was beautiful. and saw the national day floating stadium from the bridge too =)













and we walked from fullerton hotel down the belly of the carp and then down a few roads and we got to Central, this new shopping centre opposite Clarke Quay. It has nice white lights =) we went to a jap restaurant there, pasta with japanese mainly seafood toppings. i thought they had great service and great restaurant layout and i loved their display of all their food hahaha quite an extravagant place though.. we had strawberry pudding and they gave us complimentary sundae for shifting seats. then we walked down opposite bank of Clarke Quay to Riverside Point to look at people flying the remote controlled kites of the night haha. oh it was so pretty!! they were practising some formation thingy and its so amusing to see 3 kites in sync and doing a roll on command! they looked like extra colourful and extra big fireflies. couldnt take proper pictures cos the handphone shutter speed too slow. and when there were so many kites in the sky i watched till i forgot to take photos..

i got really pretty necklaces from the sisters and my dear roofie= D ruth and minggy also got this top for me which i will probably only be able to wear after i slim down and make sure my stomach is flatter and non-round. HAHA gerald got me a handbag squirrel and lilies! i thought i won't ever get lilies from anyone cos they're quite expensive.. and even my brother commented that the squirrel was very nicely painted =))




















thanks to all my friends from long ago from not so long ago from now who wished me happy birthday and sang me birthday song and all.. i was particularly happy when i read my mum's sms to wish me happy birthday <3 i really had a very happy birthday =D




12july caught a really beautiful pink sunset right at my balcony.




and saw a lizard grab a moth. =p

random thoughts

I got a reply. as to whether i can go visit the child i tutored at gracehaven. i think there's lots of red tapes and stuff so it may be quite difficult. Not very sure about the numerous programmes in the home as well... haiyah. guess i won't be able to visit the little kid tomorrow. i hope she won't be too disappointed. i'll work on it and find out how..

i should start drawing up a mugging timetable. prelims musnt be screwed otherwise i will screw myself.

just did the 7 deadly sins test and apparently my greatest sin is pride. then followed by gluttony. lol ok must cut down on food!

Saturday, July 07, 2007

stuffed with food

i feel like i've achieved bear state.
polar bear teddy bear koala bear sun bear pooh bear big bear fat bear round bear...
tian ah

eat like BEAR

went Sizzlers for dinner today. so long never eat at Sizzlers le. last time was about P2. my mum said, when we were no longer considered as 'kids' who didnt need to get a main course. haha

i remember how wen i was about P1, we'd go Sizzlers for dinner at Wisma. We little kids just ate from the Salad Bar, and lotsa soup and salad. And of course BOWLs and BOWLs of ice cream. Yep they used to come in BOWLs not ice cream cups HAHAHA. and i remember putting all sorts of colourful toppings on them and cos the sauces din look very colourful i din put them at all. Then i'll bring them back to the table and stir and stir and stir until it became watery milky and then slowly drink it up like COLD soup HAHAHAHA... come to think of it.. must be quite sick.

anyway now its 10 years since the last time we had Sizzlers. (LITERALLY) now we all have to order a main dish, and i had nice mushroom cheese steak. my lil bro who used to run around the restaurant now orders a seafood platter. and the salad bar is still as nice. BUT we dun melt ice cream anymore. and i put only one of the toppings and i sprinkled caramel sauce too. but then ah... never purposely melt ice cream the ice cream also melt very fast hahaha

and today i realised i couldnt identify the papaya. my dad say in June eat papaya until phobia then cannot recognise le. LOL i best

ok anyway. wonderful dinner. feels many layers of flab. dunno when i'll get motivation to go and rid them XD

爱情证书

寂寞当然有一点
你不在我身边总是特别想念你的脸
距离是一份考卷
测量相爱的誓言最后会不会实现
我们为爱还在学
学沟通的语言学著谅解学著不流泪
等到我们学会飞
飞越黑夜和考验日子就要从孤单里毕业
我们用多一点点的辛苦
来交换多一点点的幸福
就算幸福还有一段路
等我们学会忍耐和付出
这爱情一定会有张证书
证明从此不孤独

bored

really really bored
maybe i'll spend this bored time thinking more about the class
after today's J1 CT rep talk dunno why felt like reflecting on my term as CT rep. heh actually been quite a lazy CT rep. lol we decorated the back of the class room, but the sheets started falling down and stuff were getting messy. and i was too lazy to clear it. and the school cleaners cleared them instead. so our chalk and spray paint and black sheets are all gone. Shall i get new ones? i really think the black sheets are very good for venting watever. then dun haf to draw on the table. if only we had a black board at the back. scribbling is so fun =/ and i wish we had black stuff that absorbs spray paint better.

and then i realised that i forgot to celebrate birthdays in term 2. only celebrated Ms nair's. so i guess next week we'll be celebrating bdays for some 10 people cos july also many many people's bday.

and my stomach's feeling horrible. i feel like a banded leaf monkey. it has a really really round stomach. cos its kinda bloated. it eats leaves so theres lotsa fermentation in its stomach. ie a lot of gas generation, resulting in a very round stomach. yup that sorta describes myself now. not that i've been pigging and eating that much but aiyai stomach feeling like its doing a lot of fermentation. i can feel it inside me =/

benny lent me brother bear. i should get down to watching it soon. and i wan to keep brother bear 2 also. its so sweet.

been singing in the bathroom. not that i only started doing it recently. but it seems to be the only place where i feel like singing nowadays. so sad. i feel kinda saddened that i havent uploaded recordings in ages. no mood leh.. and i started playing bumble bee again. but i keep feeling super warm and sticky after playing through once so havent had the patience to sit down and memorise and figure out. wanna go learn a dance also, like dakishimeru from youtube or something. but havent been into boa that much lately. don't even visit the forums liao. but i wanna resume dance class. i feel super rusty when i go back studiowu. feeling rusty and lousy cos everyone there have already improved so much and i'm still stagnant. really really wanna go back for lessons esp now no more street. argh but no money. maybe i'll ask my dad and see if he wanna buy a package for me as bday present. it'll be my greatest bday present in years. i dun even remember wat they gave me in the past few years. it must have been something i needed, not really wanted. well or maybe i'm so horrible i din take the effort to remember what they gave me. i guess it dun matter, they've given me their priceless love for me, for 18 years, and counting. that rocks very much already.

after school go home sleep. i wish i was busier, then can sleep less. so pig. at home no motivation to anything cos the afternoon sun so hot.

i wanna go fly kite.
