post Prelims *joy*
post prelims has been beyond joyous.. 有一种被释放的感觉 feels damn great
sister clan outing on friday! planned on thursday, i was so pleased and happy the night before that i wasn't in the mood to mug anymore (and i hope all goes well for chem mcq haha) klunch during lunch time and ratatouille at 2! ended at 4 but chem already felt like damn long ago. my wondrous sisters went kbox wif me even tho i hogged the mic most of the time =p and we still failed to make siok sing in the mic.. (at least i knew she was singing along) and we had so much fun banging our heads to hoobastank's the reason LOL while lincoln pretended he was on the electric guitar in FIR's Lydia. did wu ding with jiahui, where lincoln told him to just scream the top notes lol and justina wondering why cannot hear herself in the mic only to realise she didnt switch on the mic haha =D the whole world went to watch ratatouille yesterday. everybody catching it since prelims finally finish and heng they still showing ratatouille. its a damn cool show.. super cute! sad emily couldnt come. i bet the whole theatre heard my laughter. good lesson to teach people to dare to dream, dare to be different, dare to try new stuffs, and to be yourself. Now if i could just figure out what "myself" is to me.. enjoyable day indeed, i slept till 8, had a very filling dinner..
ubin outing! wah this is the first time my mum and dad allowed me to ubin. i been asking to go ubin since sec 3 after OBS, when jeanette would ask me to go with her. yesterday was the first time i went ubin on a non school organised event and i think it rocked. woke up so early in the morning, must be cos i'm getting used to early mornings haha. michelle and i were the only ones who reached on time.. everyone else was late. so michelle and i sat by the beach and waited as the day passed and the planes flew in. by the time everyone who's supposed to turn up turned up, we were ready for lunch haha cycled to chek jawa, it was low tide when we reached.. about 1+metres. not the lowest tide so not that much to see. we went to this rocky place near the visitor centre where we walked in the shallow water and took nice pictures.. walked the boardwalk, didnt manage to see the sandbank cos the tide wasnt low enough. but we did see some schools of fish. huge schools of fish that we decided were neater than army lol. we saw small fiddler crabs orange and white, those with one huge pincer and one small one. heard birds but didnt really spot any. the weather was too hot for birds to come out. climbed to the top of the viewing tower where i felt truly roasted. there was this tall tree that was quite nice for birds to perch but only a few small birds were there, probably swallows. and below was a mass of nipah palm. almost like a plantation, not for its neatness but cos there was so many of them. the usual lobster crab mounds with no lobster crabs cos its so darn hot. cycled back and met this father who brought his son to chek jawa. they were both on their own bikes and the little one looked kinda tired at having to cycle for so long. haha press on! i hope he had a fun time with those slopes lol. we went back to jelutong campsite for btc, and up a quarry. the quarry water was so blue so pretty =) pity i cant upload pictures cos this laptop is kinda old and doesn't have bluetooth. came home with red cheeks and red nose. never felt so red in a long time. i cant remember the last time i was even mildly sunburnt. suddenly feel healthy. like in the pink of health haha. otherwise usually see myself in the mirror with my usual green face =p haha this is damn fun =))

如今此刻的我的确是有一点疲倦
time to mug
Friday, August 24, 2007
Steve Jobs said
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.
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
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

a tree to remember
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

haf fun!

my 18th bday!
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..


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

stuffed with food
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

i love how the sun sets on my forest.
