a tribute to my darling sis~*

10 minutes more to The Moment....................................... *drum rolllllllllll*
hApPIe 23RD BiRthDaY my one and only and bestest sweetest most understanding sister cum soulmate cum buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! charmaine lim huiwen!!!!!!!!! *muacks*hugs*

*time reverses 20 yrs*
a little girl is born. with her is her Big Sis. little did she know how much influence this little girl of slightly more than 2 years old will have on her life.

*a few years on*
shouting, screaming, grabbing of hair, snarling, wrestling, punching, clenched fists, pointy combs. two little girls with hair tt look as if it has been cut along the boundary of a bowl clutchin at each others' clothes, tryin to get at each others' throats, kicking wildly and alot of hair loss is observed. yep tts us!!! ahah those were the days i should have seen the ah-lian potential in me! yar i was told tt i tore up all my sis's beloved stickers! n tt i tried to attack her with a pointy ah lian comb. oh wow. i am horrified by my own deplorable behaviour! absolutely despicable and unbelievably original. haha tink i have a violent streak in me... erm. ok jie heres the 15yrs overdue apology i owe u!!! will buy u a sticker factory if i have the money nxt time yar... *ashamed* =P

the early yrs of my life, as u can see, didnt exactly pave the way to a close and loving relationship with my one and only sister. oh but i can swear i have no recollection of all my wrong-doings!!! must have watched too much violent tv shows... (eh but i thot i grew up with smurfs n carebears n captain planet n ninja turtles. hmm. ) my sis was the extrovert, i was the hopelessly lost introvert who shies away from attention and will not be able to have relatives hangin on to my every word like my sis does. yep, the charmer my sis was! *pride* has the gift of the gab, only diff is she means evry word she says. cant act for nuts haha. =P just a naturally sweet little girl who excels in all things she set out to do, be it singing, acting, dancing, studying, piano... evrythg. she was my idol! tho at tt time i can bet she will be disgusted to have a follower who tore up her stickers heh. guess she wasnt too pleased when suddenly its not just her shadow whos tailing her... there was a fat, squat little girl who will follow her as if its the most natural thg in the world! mind you this happen esp during chinese new yr... i was too scared to greet my uncles n aunties! cant even rem wat i am s'pose to address them by...! so my sis was my life-buoy. esp since i haf uncles who love to pick on fat little girls! *shudder* pls folks dont ever tease little kids too badly, they wldnt noe how much it will cm back to haunt them in yrs to cm...

pri sch was the time when our sisterhood changed for the better. dunno why, i love going to the bookshop n buyin little knick-knacks for my sis. pencils lah, erasers, cute stuff... no occasion, just buy lor. u dont need a reason to show love n care one mah. tts when i tink the bad memories of my vicious doings dimmed. hhaha. =P i felt... motherly towards my sis dunno y! haha tink i am fated to b a mother goose.

and then we grew up... teenage yrs were tumultous for both of us, in different ways tho. i always felt very lucky to have a sister to guide me thru confusing and smtimes painful chapters of my growin up yrs. just to listen, smtimes to advise. and it reali didnt matter whether the advice was of help, cos the most impt thg was to noe theres always gg to be smone there to give comfort when thgs go wrong, to share ur triumphs n laugh along with u at ur stupid moments. it s very very special thg, this bond we share. despite the fact tt we r such different ppl!!! mebbe tts y we r best frens, we see from diff perspectives and complement each other. =D

to tell the truth, i have always been the one having a sis to dote on me. not so much as the material aspect, but in terms of being understanding and patient and seldom having her chicken feathers ruffled when i was rude to her, or mean, or just plain unreasonable. oh well, we all have our moments. sorry sis!!! for evry time i was petty or throwing tantrums. and thx for always being so accepting of my one zillion billion flaws! thx for ever being so placid and calm even when i erupt haha. u r my idol! wonder how u can stand a pesky kid like me.

now we r growing even older. there r issues we dont always see eye to eye, times when we dont get to share our lives with each other, times when we may feel neglected by the other. but u noe wat? u will always be my bestest sis, the greatest!!! and no matter how angry i smtimes may get at u, hope u noe its all for ur own good! (at least in my opinion hah) noe tt u've gone thru more than ur fair share of rocky roads n rough patches, but hey, i'd always be here for u yar? never fear!! and u r one brave girl. have seen u weathering and surviving alot of difficult times, always managin to conquer them n emerge a stronger, braver person. jia you, jie!!!! know theres another tricky situation at hand, wish u luck! give u strength. *hands u my Strength*

oh well, guess u will be gg US this yr end... will feel lonesome without u!! hope this yr will be the best of them yet!!! find a love tts uniquely urs, have good health, be happy all yr round!!!! love u sis!!!!! may we be the best of frens forever n ever... *big marshmallowish hug* a toast to u, my fabulous sis!

happie bdae to u....

u r born in the zooooo...

with monkeys n tigerssss

happie bdae to u....!!!!

weather forecast: downcast.

feeling in the dumps currently. dont ask me y, i am not sure myself. guess theres alot of little little niggling thoughts on my mind, sm tt i thought i have cm to terms with but mebbe i am just not as mentally strong-willed as i tink i am. ever get the feelin fate is laughing down at you from far far above? peeping thru the clouds, tinking how foolish mortals can be. haha. oh well.

i miss my jie. doesnt seem like i have a jie anymore, shes still so busy with her life i seldom get to see her for more than an hr per day. possibly the only time i get to see her properly will be when i wake up each day to go to sch and shes fast aslp in bed cuddling her bolster/pighead cushion smwhere in dreamland bah. this is the 1st time in my life since long long ago that i feel as if theres a widening chasm btw the two of us (since we grew out of the ah lianish u-tear-my-stickers-i-attack-u-with-my-comb stage), and theres just nothg i can do abt it! its been likedat when i got bac in june, and days turn to weeks and now months. smtimes i will want to run to her to tell her wat happened today, like i used to jabber away with her, but there seem to be none of tt in recent mths. only late nite smses askin her when she will be bac and alot of time alone in the study rm. feel like i have lost a big part of my emotional support.

smtimes feel v alone in the world leh. ever get tt feeling? like u r surrounded by ppl but yet no one whos free enough to give u a listenin ear without u cramping their style. not tt they r not willing but just dont wanta trouble them bah. funny i was fine this whole wk until this afternoon, just felt like my world was in a big big mess and i didnt want to face all these nitty gritty tt i have no control over. not pms leh, but felt as if my tear ducts were working overtime. gah. hate this feeling.

was listening to jielun's new album this whole wk. (hey thx xtine! u r a gem, have i ever told u tt? jus feel guilty tt u spent $$ tho. *big squishy hug* was an unexpected surprise for me! =)) mebbe cos his songs r always so soul-stirring, the lyrics so heart-breakingly sweet, just make u even sadder bah. i get v easily affected by the songs i listen to.

smtimes i am... scornful of myself. always pride myself to have the strength of mind to make a decision and stick to it, yet 5 min of indulgence is all it takes to sway my rock-solid determination. so confusing. and y does this scenario seems so familiar? its the story of my life. smtimes i wonder y i have so much determination in other aspects yet behaves like a scaredy-cattish gigantic worry-wart who tinks too much analyse too much and gets influenced too much by the feelings i pick up from others tt i choose to run away. rather than be brave n do wat i really want to do, i will back away. never fails to happen. i am kind of stupid this way, my sis tells me so, my close frens tell me so.

i miss my frens. dont ever see lihui meiling n zhengyi these days anymore. nor do i get to chitchat with yiqing anymore. dont see huiying too. and have either no time to write to my frens who r overseas or am too tired. and mugging gang too. mebbe cos we used to see each other for like 18 hrs evryday haha, now its more like after sch evryone got their own agenda and we just go our separate ways home/give tuition/pak-toh heh. life feels quite empty actually. i have no tuition to give, means no $$ also haha. miss the days when we smuggle mountains of food into the library and munch our way thru chicken in a biscuit, pepperidge farm, m&ms, galbo, blah. and start throwing paper aeroplanes (can see the horrified expressions of the other muggers as the aeroplane happily zoom past them ahah) or doodle on notes/hands/legs/everywhere. haha.

today greggie treated us to coffee bean. me, xtine, cristelle, sherm, wes, darryl went to holland v and had yummy drinks and cakes all paid for! yay. hha. thankew so much curly wurly burly daddie greggie weggie hope tt didnt burn a hole in ur pocket. =P i felt like a schizophrenic when i was there. cos was feeling so down yet they r making me laugh. how to say? feel both v happy and v sad at the same time

took 75 fr holland v. then got off to change bus. bus nv come. got tired of waiting so simply hopped onto the next bus. sat in the bus, aircon blowing cool air, staring at the scenery, listening to jielun's yuan you hui. felt v detached from the world, and sort of carefree. was in my own little bubble, hearing but not listening, looking but not seeing. realised trees can be so pretty. those old willowy ones. kinda rustic charm abt them. saw a couple walking two doggies, one big n one tiny. didnt noe sitting on a bus can be so therapeutic. got home after a total of 3 buses and 1 mrt ride. ahha. needed the time alone, still feeling antisocial now. nv speak to anyone on icq. heh.

sm thgs r better left unsaid rite?



my current fav song below. wanted to translate it into english but feel tt the feeling would be lost.

(ahhh i had a niggling suspicion it was xtine teehee) but none other than mr blair! gosh. *beetroot red* was corrected by mingchang n darryl the barrel. gosh. must dig hole hide face liao. =p

wah i am sick. for no reason. had smthg call "feng mo". tink it must be my hyperactive immune system, it must be bored tt there r no bugs to kill so decided to launch an unprovoked immune response. so here i am shivering away with weird bumps all over me. YUCKS. must be the 4th time this has happened to me! ARGH.

today was The Day we saw aung hein after donkey yrs!!! yes he's back!!!! *do a lion dance of welcm* haha oh but he was deep in discussion with sharon over $$$ matters so didnt get to chat with either of them! so in the end was yakking away with ah ting, madwoman sijin hehe, mavis, hahaha, kok wee and enhao! mini-soma gathering woohoo! feels great lah to c all of us 2gther again! yay! oh but was "bullied" by the 3 guys. GRRRR. smthg goes haywire whenever u put the few of them 2gther! i conclude it must be the bad influence of kok wee on enhao who in turn exert a negative influence on hahaha!!! *stern look* hehe feels like the good old days tho!!! enjoyed myself lots! *happy grin* oh yar. i still owe enhao abt 3000 kyats. gah. and the heartless loanshark actually wants interest! *swoon* oh yar i got mail from myanmar! thx aung hein for passin me the letter and shirt! thx kaung zaw!!!! wah feel guilty will try to reply soon. when i have $$ to buy stamps ahha =P

(wah dnd super mah fan for girls leh aiyooo) we plucked a few mil dresses of the rack for her to try. and tried. and tried. u noe how the more u want to buy a specified thg, the more it eludes u?!?! tts the way it was!!! but we were hardy. determined. uncompromising. hopeful. continued with dogged perseverance until... It was found! wow. shant say anymore. hehe must preserve an element of surprise! hehe. oh but xtine tink u look gd, really! yay! ahha. =D

but the time i got home i was a black-faced thunderous-looking dont-u-dare-mess-with-me grouchy chao ah lian. my feet were aching, toes yelling in protest, right shoulder almost touching the floor from the sheer massive weight of my bag. tink my pencil case along weighs 5 tonnes! madness! to tink i carried tt elephantine bag to go shopping! i must have a pea-sized brain man.

haha oh! highlight of the day. saw a certain smone tt had me n xtine jumping like jelly beans. haha star-sighting!!! almost lah. haha made my day. =D

argh. here marks the end of another i-dont-feel-like-studyin day. too bad. i wanta finish my book and slp. heh. this is life! *wink*

escherichia coli, s. epidermis.... nasal swabs!

wahah! this is a day full of bacteria and what-nots... had the 1st microbio. lect and then prac!!! both lessons conducted by an ang-moh lecturer who's super funny!!! got me really tickled haha dunno he just strikes me as a very interesting teacher... *beams* remember how he was tellin us abt the scrapies disease jumping from the sheep species to the cows (mad cow disease) and then to mankind... lo and behold!!! representation of mankind was none other than... *drums pls* george bush!!!!!! muahahahah i wanted to roll on the floor and laugh put loud! and then he proceeded to hold a one-man-show of the above-mentioned searching for weapons of mass destruction that are not there... =P ok. better not put the name of the lecturer down! like him tooooo much to want the feds after him! heh. oh. hope the feds r not gg to start pounding down my doors within a few secs with a arrest warrant.. erm.

oh yar, i was a resounding success in the lab today! *puffs up with pride* me, who always seem to have terrible lab skills and is possibly voted most-klutzy-cannot-get-proper-results-always-have-to-fake-them student, managed to do smthg right!! s'pose to do sm gram stains with colonies of e.coli and s.epidermis (or smthg along this line lah huh), with alot of complicated steps involved! me n junpei were all flustered at first cos we didnt seem to have anythg! no blood agar plate, no mannitol salt plate, no nothg! ahah had to begggg from the rest! poor us... *pat* anyway! had lotsa fun acting pro! we n junpei were calmly and professionally sterilizing our wire loops and stuff and had precision-timed soaking of the various dunno-wat-they-r solutions to stain our samples! and i managed to do both successfully!

i hereby award myself the nobelle prize for my professionalism.... (this is an even more prestigious award than nobel prize... teehee)

gah ok. dont start throwing stones i am juz in a crappy mood! almost drove esther to tears when i was chit-chattin with her during FRS! hehehehehehe =P oopsy doopsy.

wah help i dont feel like studyin at all... hmm. in holiday mode leh dunno y. feel like juz putting my textbks aside and readin my storybooks instead. yawn. evryday's such a long day! always sooooooo tired by the time i reach home argh. only highlight of the day is seeing my hubby the milo van uncle!!! heh. oh but i suspect he's having flings behind my back, he's nt turnin up as often as he shld be. hmm. better hire private investigator. =I

oh. as it happens rather often these days, i am bored of blogging again. suddenly. haha. shall stop now! oh yar my big sis actually reads my blog! *weeps with joy* i just hope u r not readin them at like 6 am?!?!?! wahhh. slp early lah u owl! =p

sAtuRdAyyyyyy!!!!!!

actuali i had my day all planned out. most impt thg on my agenda was to slp til at least 1pm woohoo! alas but it was not to be lah. turns out tt due to sm clashin of free time, ah ting isnt free for lunch so we arranged to meet soe thihahhahahaha for breakfast instead!!!! gosh. i had to wind both my alarm clocks to rouse my from my dead-as-a-log sleep!! *yawn*

was a super fun breakfast!!! hahahaha has nv eaten mcdonald's breakfast b4!!! (wow no wonder so healthy n slim... unlike. me. haha =p) i had my hotcakes n ah ting had big breakfast while haha had a sausage egg mcmuffin... hmmm yum! sinful leh to eat fast food early in the morn!!! argh. *guilty* at first there were alot of silences, owing to the fact tt all of us were still half-aslp... but then we begin to yak abt sch lah, our friends lah, abt shermin's bro being president scholar lah, aung hein, hahahaha's family (he has three sisters!!! wow! tian ling, tian mei, jing hua...), the movie brotherhood, and even politics!!!! wah wide range of topics sia!

had a engrossing discussion abt s'pore's prime ministers... i feel rather sad tt mr goh chok tong has stepped down, i am very fond of him! (tho i noe nuts abt politics lah ahah) he always give me the impression of being in control, caring, dependable, responsible, smone who tries his best! and i respect mr lee kuan yew alot too! although smtimes we may seem too dependent on him in making sure the country is running smoothly, i must say he's really far-sighted... as for our new PM. hmmm dont really know much abt him so hard to comment, but haha i like the fact tt he's tall! under my mummie's influence, i kinda tink tt our PMs ought to be tall so tt they can tpwer over the leaders of other countries! got sense of pride when i watch tv and see PM Goh bending over to talk to the foreign ministers... heh. ok ok i noe cheap thrill rite... but considering s'pore is sooooooo teeny weeny itsy bitsy, tink its better to have a larger-than-life PM so tt ppl will actually listen to us n not push us ard... =P oh well. hope the PM after PM Lee will be another great guy! we all agreed we like dr vivian balakrishnan alot! charismatic, caring, speaks well, inspiring, suave, charming....

oh yar we realised thru this talk tt hahahaha actually knows more abt s'pore's political scene than us!!! *ashamed* hehe but then we r not the sort to follow politics lah. i personally dislike politics! and its such mind-boggling business smmore... wah headache ah. i am the kind who is happy with the govt as long as evrythg is gg well... short-sighted rite? ehhe but i njoy being a xiao ren wu with no worries! yay!

before we left, we presented our bdae gift to ahhahaha... yay he's turning 19 tmr!!! HAPPIE 19TH BDAE HAHAHAHA!!!!! we got him a stylo-mylo brown sling bag tt tends towards the shaofeng-style... looks good on him! haha we r so proud of our impeccable taste hiak. must bring it evrywhere ok hahahahahah!!!! mext time we see u u must be carrying the bag!!! =D

we then headed for hm, then i went orchard to look-see and get inspiration abt what i shall wear for dnd... wah wat a hassle n a waste of $$$! i am already so broke, still hafta pay $45 for tix, buy dress (cos i absolutely have nothg to wear for a dnd event), buy accessories, this n tt!!! can eat grass again lah for the rest of my life! sob. actually fell in love with a green flamboyant halter-neck dress!!! but i phoned ah ting to ask her cm take a look (she was shoppin with her sis) and she said it was too casual for dnd.... wah. so sad. in the end i bought another dress tt's a sweet colour, very not flamboyant one. anyway i got a feelin most gals may not be abiding by the mafiaso theme n will be wearin typical promish dresses, so just as well i turn up in smthg norm bah. hai. spend $$ again. &^%*$%$*@&%$#$ smone buy me a money-tree leh.

reflections abt sch life

hmmm wow! i survived my first week as a m2! *puffs up with pride* i feel very grown-up n mature and wise whenever i walked out of lt28 and see my m1 juniors hehehe. =D

it actually feels gd to be back in sch lah. not as bad as i feared it will be! maybe cos the stress of having bi-wkly tests is no longer there... *beams* and its a great feeling to see all my frens again!!! catch up on each others' lives, have long lunch breaks and talk rubbish. wah excellent!!! wat with xtine's remarks on my "fat toes" grrrrr and shermin's SMCs and cris n greggie's act-cute moments etc... feel like the gd old days again! minus the mugging in library part, for which i am OH-soooo-grateful!!!! (i suspect i have developed a severe case of antimugginginthelibitis hmmm) =P dunno y leh, suddenly realised during this hols tt there r so many billion n zillion of thgs tt i want to do n experience b4 my life just passes before my very eyes in a whirl of medical book pages. theres so much more to life than this!!!! there r my family, tv shows hiak, friends tt i have not seen enough during the hols, places i want to see, books i want to read, movies i want to catch! haha. had a whale of a time during this hols tt really make me cherish my own personal time much much more!

hmmm. on lessons. quite interestin!!! me n xtine made a common resolution to sit up and listen during lectures instead of doin the usual stupid thgs we like to do... erm. like doodle on each other notes. yakked away. talk abt jielun non-stop. =P ehhh. ok. we doodles abit lah. ok yakked abit. haha oh but we were really behaving like model students! for once my mind is actually processing wat the lecturer is rambling abt! WOW! mebbe i am not stupid after all hehe. *beams* oh except for the cofm lectures... *swoon* they put me to sleeeppppppp. theres juz smthg extremely soporific abt the droning voices of the cofm lecturers.... "cofm is abt.... demographics... yadda yadda...... go-to-slp.... u-r-feelin-drowsy.... go-into-dreamland...." oops. not tt we didnt make a supreme effort to conc tho!

(excuse the bimbotic-ness oozing out lah i'm tryin to hype myself up grrr.) disgusting. y can't i own an invention tt prints out wateva i want in 0.000000001 ms. yawn. soooooooo tired!

YAY! must write this down! i went swimming today!!!! woohooooo!!!!!! with my darling sis hehe. we are FINALLY having normal sibling outings and talks AGAIN. cos NDP is over!!!!!!! hooray!!! i;'m no longer second place to her patriotic performing spirit ahahahah *big silly grin* =P hiak.

ok. must admit i'm a really ardent hydrophilic swimmer. hmmm. or shall i say floating beach-ball. cos i really cant swim LAH. i pretend to know only hahaha! i will flap my hands anyhow in a real pro-like manner and then if i can move i will be super pleased liao! hee. not tt i nv try to learn ah, dont chide me ok!

when i was young... very young. juz a small little thg (oh can u imagine i was once a teeny little girl too! =D) my daddy enrolled me in sm swimming cls along with my older, wiser sis. ARGHHHHHHHHHH. it was a disaster. mebbe cos i was too young or too easily distracted, i always cant understand wat the instructor was sayin! (mebbe i was a late-bloomer *ponders*) so while the rest of the little kiddoes tt were all around my sis's age gracefully cut thru the water like sharks and sm like tortoises heh, i was busy hiding in one corner happily amusing myself by simply soaking in the water and watching my skin grow wrinkled or splashing ard with shouts of glee!!! in other words: i learn nothg. haha. oh i especially recall a most horrific part of the swimmin lessons, whereby the instructor will lift us up one by one n throw us into the pool! dont ask me y, y he did tt was absolutely unfathomable to my small child-mind. to tell the truth i still dont understand it now ahah. the other brave souls seem to noy this alot! me? scaredy-cat. will steathily, craftily, by hook or by crook water-walk away from the cls to the other end of the pool, quiet as a mouse. =P can u imagine how terrifying this activity is to a small defenseless little girl who knows nought abt swimming?!?!?! the instructor was the bane of my life man. n he wasnt even gd-looking. heh.

i encountered my 2nd swimming cls in sec sch. in rv, we had swimmin as PE, and i was in the beginner cls. (read: go-to-baby-pool-and-pretend-not-to-be-embarassed-abt-this) i was actuali quite excited! was tinkin this is it. finally. the day has cm when my hidden talent in swimmin will be discovered. *daydreams abt olympic medals n stuff* but...... alas. once the teacher realises i can float comfortably within 5 min into the 1st lesson. he left me to my own devices. went on to other beginners who r hydrophobic n dont dare to try n float. the injustice of it all! so my rojak-self-invented style of swimmin still stayed with me. sigh. i was the teaching assistant in fact as i try to help the others overcm their fear of water! =(

3rd swimmin cls. was in hcjc. GAH. i wanted to dig a hole in the ground n die of shame as i once again bcm a reluctant member of the baby-pool gang. *wails loudly* so old already still dunno how to swim properly!!! *faints fr shame*anyway. this was a more organised and progressive cls. at least i was taught how to swim the froggie-style! *beams* ok cant do it well but can move can already lah. learn too well ppl may mistake me as a frog ah. ehhe. oh. but i didnt pass the swim-test. sigh. can remember my struggle man! was sick and still not well, and me n chanlek were so demoralised before we even started. wah 7/8 of the lap i was spluttering like a boilin kettle liao lor, thot i was gg to die from breathlessness!!! HAD TO give up or risk having smone perform cpr on me (which i absolutely do not wish for tinking of how i have a 1st aid cert but knows like... nothg)! boohoo fail lor. chanlek gave up even b4 i did. alas, poor ill-fated us! oh well. at least we pushed ourselves to the limit!!!! *dignified*

oh anyway as i was sayin, i was happily lounging in the pool today! woohhoo! but not much sun leh, quite sad hor. my sis ditched me soon. cos she can swim. haha. i was tryin to look nonchalent and giving tt i-can-swim-juz-tt-i-choose-not-to look hiak. oh but i tried to swim abit n gave the whole game away. cos i ALWAYS swim next to the side of the pool, dont dare to go to the deep end!!! cos dunno how to tread water ah. then smmore my free-style and wateva is self-taught one so i move very slowly and must stop anytime anwhere of i cant catch my breath! can tell the other swimmers were not impressed. gah. even the kiddies can swim better than me lor. *turns lobster red* gah. who cares. i love the water its not my fault i cant swim!!! smtimes feel like i am being an obstacle to the serious swimmers. *sticks out tongue* nah as if i care haha. i paid lor i am entitled to behaving like a human boulder in wateva place i want! traalallalala.

oops. ok. guilt attack. time to mug liao. my printer has done its job. *patpat* yay! =D hey meiling lets meet up soon!!! hehe but oh can we do smthg tt is costless... i am BROKE. =P

oh yar almost forgot! HAPPIE 22ND BIRTHDAY MINGCHANG!!!! yayay!

happie birthDaY sInGapoRe!!!! heh

hoi! haha i am finally back home and well-rested enough to blog. hmm. seems like a looong time since i last came online... oh well, so many thgs have happened since then! dunno where to start.

fisrt day of sch came n went, nothg pretty exciting happened lar. took an immense effort of xtine's and my part to keep ourselves wide-awake and not doze off during the lecture! gosh. seems funny to be in lt 28 leh, i keep wanting to walk into lt 29 heh. had a looooonnnnnng 4-hr break before the afternoon prac thgy starts, actually wanted to go help out with presentation, but smhow we hafta settle sm movie-screenin thgy (i was of no help anyway being the techie idiot muahah) and then i ended up marking sm jc bio tutorials with xtine... *MOAN* wahhhh her tuition kid's thoughts run ALL over the place! wanted to scream and cry, smtimes feel like rolling on the canteen floor (cos u will reach a breaking pt whereby u cant get more frustrated than u already r, so u hafta laugh of juz explode =P)! tink alot of ppl were looking at the pair of us in horrified silence, eyes almost popping out of the sockets! (cos they tink we r mugging already ehhehe) gah, dont care xtine u gotta pay me for all my effort! heh i must admit i was quite evil when i was marking the paper, cos i wasnt the tutor mah, not scared of offending the students... hiak. *rubs hands in glee* tink xtine was quite horrified (in a laugh-and-cant-stop kind of way) when she first saw the remarks o wrote haha... cant rem wat tho, just tt i was extremely blunt n corrected even her grammar mistakes heh. oops.

the afternoon prac was... a joke. sigh. gosh i shld haf went hm to slp juz like ah ting! only thg we did was to fill in sm pls-give-us-ur-particulars form! eeuuugh. since i knew almost everythg abt ah ting, was able to help her fill in lor... haha. and then we were dismissed! all of us were lookin at each other with incredulous, "DUH" looks hehehe. but ok lah i was in a great mood cos tt means i can go hm n get a gd rest liao, my head was again spinning like a spinning top.

went hm, didnt slp well tho! cannot believe myself, smtimes i feel like just squashing all the conscience out of me! cos i cant slp due to guilt attack! was being eaten alive by guilt, tinking how cm i never stay back immediately after sch to go help with presentation, esp since my gd frens sherm n wes were so stressed. wah but i really really cant do it! didnt noe flag-week will drain me so! so in the end i was tossing in my bed for two hrs, hah! gross. i was disgusted with myself.

woke up, rushed to lot1 to pack dinner for shermy, wessie, darryl amd shermy's mom. rushed back hm, heaved my dozens of bags and barung-barung and dashed down to the busstop to wait for yiqing (who's driving me down YAY!!!!!) kept looking at my watch, wondering if they will die if hunger before i reach... wah. really i wonder y i am such a stickler for thgs like tt! such a worrywart! smone slap me pls...

anyway, yiqing, ah ting n me reached nus at ard 830pm bah. when we reached the medsoc rm area, evrythg seems under control, but the shermy n wes were still pacing ard looking busy. the 3 of us tried to look for thgs to do, but erm ahhaa most of the time we just felt redundant. tink wat can be done has already been completed... ok, was feelin less guilty. =P soon sheldie arrived too n we were watchin the red m&ms and brown gingy-bread men and sunshine-yellow candies dancing abt, being twirled, lifted, thrown... WOW. i keep wanting to sink my teeth into the m&ms, they look so real!!! doesnt help tt i am such a fevent chocoholic hehe. its all thx to my frens tt the m&ms were not traumatised ny me whew.

hmm looking the the gingybread men, i must say they r not plump enuff lah. their heads were quite big, but their legs were not fat so they look abit unproportional. they look like the "after" version of sm slimming centre campaign... heh i shld be the one inside lah tink i will look more ... erhmm "before". they look really cute when they smile!!! (will put their hands to the mouths n look really shy and abashed! =D)

n so there we were for the whole night, not slping and occasionally doing odd jobs like carrying stuff and mending the backdrop...oh yar introduced yiqing to her counsellee zhongkai!!! ahha felt reali happy tt they got along so well! turns out tt they have alot of frens in common, smmore both r such nice and easy-goin ppl, n r both sporty! yay! felt like i have done a gd deed... *beams*

as the night drags on, there were times i reali felt like slping. but then after a cup of nice yummish instant noodles i felt rejuvenated! haha was past the slpy stage n on to the hyper stage liao... but evryone's slpin leh. xtine has conked out, greggie's plannin to slp, cris is at hm cos she sprained her ankle (*pat*) and dunno where the rest r lah. cm to tink of it i cant rem wat i did leh. *tink* oh yar only remembered helping to tpt the backdrop from outside medsoc rm to the field! wah. almost died. didnt noe cloth can be so heaaavvvvyyyy. haha anyway the guys carryin the poles looked hilarious!!! we can only see their heads, haha as charmaine said, they look like they r marching to the execution ground... *chuckles*

after tt the actual rag day came all too quickly. all the candies were made-up and went to prepare for performance, and all sleepyheads were woken up! had breakfast n off we go to the spectator stand! woohoo! erm. only there were so few ppl there initially we felt quite disheartened. dunno leh, not tt i am angry or want to scold the freshies, but feel tt alot of ppl seem to bo-chup the faculty... its always the same old ppl turnin up to help n support the faculty events! (n i must say a heartfelt thank you to gigante n luciano... seems always to b ard! tho we r actuali flag-ogs) felt my spirits lifting as more ppl turn up! but the cheerin was.. alas dismal. only a few dare to shout out the cheers! its always been my personal opinion tt it only takes a few ppl in the batch to b super on, then the rest will follow suit... but tt day was like only the seniors were cheering. =( so medfac was super quiet, since most of us seniors had not much voice left anyway!

towards the end got abit better bah, with so many grandseniors coming back to hype up the freshies! did the "panado, antiseptic cream, viagra" cheer and the "kick gluteus maximus, slap buccinator, poke conjunctiva..." cheer with gusto! heh. enjoyed myself immensely tho the cheers will prob not mean a thg to the non-meds...

when it was out turn to perform, the whole med crowd surge as one towards the barricade to cheer them on. the performance was FAB! not a step out of place, and the costumes really make us swell with pride... to tink they were all hand-made!!! countless hrs spent by the rag ppl painstakingly sewing the colourful and creative costumes needle by needle, thread by thread. i loved the music too, esp the ending piece (wake me up before you go!), one of my fav oldies! haha. must admit its gonna be a tough fight btw medfac n law tho... law really put up a spectacular performance this yr! *tense*

after med's performance i sorta lost interest liao. quite worried abt the outcm of the competition. not tt winning is tt impt to me lah, but i cant bear to see the disappointment and dejection on the faces of the rag ppl who have worked and toiled so hard for the past few weeks just for the 10 min in front of the judges. sherm n wes who had attended long n dreary rag mtgings with nussu, the m2 choreographers who had repeated practices with the performers, the performers who prob danced til their feet were sore, the same grp of ppl whom i will see bending over sm piece of sewing with utmost concentration everytime i pass by...

the result was finally announced. law faculty has beaten us to the trophy. xtine n i looked ard, saw the sadness brimming in everyone's eyes. wanted very much to go n console wes n sherm, but dunno whether we shld go, cos they were with the rest of the rag ppl. at tt moment, i really felt terribly sad. and even more heart-wrenching was the fact tt everyone was tryin so hard to be brave abt it. there were no sobbing, no wailing. just silent tears tt kept sliding down the faces of sm. hugs were given, tissues were offered. at the end of the day, we lost, but in the most graceful way possible. there were no complaints abt the decision of the judges, no lamenting our ill fortune, no blaming of anyone. just calm, dignified acceptance. i was very much overwhelmed by the seniors who kept spirits up by cheering and we did the medicine cheer a few more times, just to tell the world: its ok, we're alright. in our loss we find strength, we find unity, we find a common sadness that keeps us tightly bond together. never mind, we can always do it again next yr!

to wes n sherm n all the rag ppl: u guys rock!!!!

finally reached hm at 4++pm. slept from 5.30pm to 8.30am, 15 hrs of blissful, uninterrupted slp. so weary tt i didnt even wakey for dinner! amazing. ah. but was quite sad to awake n find my voice gone, feelin feverish and had sooo much phlegm it was killing me. needless to say, the rest of the day was spent mooching abt the hse looking miserable. didnt even have voice to speak to anyone.

today wasnt much better. the phlegm factory's been hard at work, me coughing like an ah ma now. cant even go NDP tonight to support my sis!!! to tink this is the first time i have ndp tix n i'm stuck at home... grrrr. with both me n my mom sick smmore. wat is this man. sigh. sorry sis. gd luck for ur performance!!! u can do it!!! love ya!!! *hugs*

nvm yay shld see all my schmates tmr again! *trying to sound chirpy* hee.

car-wash!

woohoo. i am weary to the bones. but it has been such an exciting day tt i cant pass over the chance to blog haha... =P

today was the highlight of the flag week! CHARITY CAR-WASH!!! this is a baby project that the RnF comm decided to try out instead of having a bazaar like we did last yr... heh was s'pose to be in sch by 715am, but the constant late nights and early mornings finally got to me! when my alarm rang at 6am, i felt so dizzy i couldnt get out of bed. too tired! had to sms an apology to shaofeng... haha in the end reached sch at ard 10am! at tt time tessio was already happily washing cars! i immediately grabbed a sponge and joined in the fun! (wah was quite surprised at myself, i was nv half as enthu abt helping my dad wash his car hehehe. but then, it always seems more fun when u r doing smthg for other reason than obligation hee)

eh. was "bullied" mercilessly by tessio's OGLs calvin and benjamin!!! GAH. keep insulting me non-stop and calling me short! HELLO! i am 1.66m tall ok!!! fwah. never ever has anyone ever called me SHORT in my entire life before!!! more like giant etc, NEVER SHORT! disgusting. =P wanted to have my revenge by scratching my name on calvin's car (hehe priscilla was all for the idea yay!) but too bad i didnt get the chance to wash his car... *disappointed* well theres always next yr... *wicked glint*

washed cars until my arms ached. felt slimmer by the end of the car-wash session which lasted until 6pm!!! *faintz* luciano and then sollozzo took over the car-washing shifts and therefore i got to work with quite alot of the freshies... most were very friendly! found a hwa chong junior who's a very smallish girl... qiumei! an a freshie from kenya! whoa! pritish he was called. we were tellin him all abt the exotic fruits of s'pore tt he must try!!! especially durians. MUST try! once in a lifetime opportunity to fall in love with the King of fruits! *mouth waters* haha. hmm tink i must marry a durian plantation owner next time... preferably one who looks and sings like jielun! muahahaha. k forgive me i am delirious again

towards the end of the event we were on auto-pilot liao. it was soooooooooo tiring to keep washing cars! next time shld have music blasting away to keep us awake! haha i was sitting down n sponging a car (yep i was gettin lazy) and ended up being soaped by ying en... wahahahahah even the juniors "bully" me! was too tired to chase after her haiyo so decided to let her off and have my sweet revenge next yr! *magnanimous* also got to noe some other juniors better, like the 1.94m tall xiao ke! (who pretended to rob me of my money-filled biscuit tin when i was taking a catnap) and victor aka vicky haha whos simply hilarious haha. realised tt he actually visited my fright-night station! and remembered the exact angle my neck was held as i threatened him with my blood-filled syringe... heh. i take tt as a compliment! logically i must have been really scary to have the juniors remember me muahaha... *beams*

ahhh the end of the car-wash saw us $1136 richer!!! woohoo! or rather our beneficiaries (SPD n SAVH) were richer... not bad eh! quite a confortable amt! i've decided to wash cars the next time i have no $$$... "charity car-wash in aid of save-huili-from-eating-grass-fund" sounds pro huh! only hope ppl will donate generously...

was too tired and too broke to eat dinner with the rest. haha sorry guys. went home to munch on cup noodles n wateva food's available. yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. wonder if i shld go with my og tmr for their last CIP visit... if i am not too tired i guess.

oh pls go buy jielun's new cd! its out! hahah i havent buy yet tho. dont buy pirated hor else he wont get paid!

oh sorry wanyen i am too tired to try linking my blog to ah ting's one currently... will try soon... haha hey enie happy to hear fr u!

ah i cant tahan liao.

stepping down of the old, wrinkled and aged flag-day ic...

yay! haha i am much earlier than usual today... haha feel like slpin liao. but juz wanta say FLAG-DAY IS OVERRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooohohoooooooooooooooo!!!! hahaha my gosh i am sooooo happy!!! *jumps with joy* to all those who came down to help, thx so much!!! *hugs xinling etc etc* haha although we didnt manage to give out all the tin cans... we still raised quite a reasonable amt! *clapclap* thx evryone! and special thx to the rag n flag comm and my two flagday juniors eleanor n qinyong!!! and colin!!!! my fellow flagday ic last yr who came down to picnic with me ahhaha!!! thx so much for breakfast n distractin me from my erm ahha worries. =P and linus!!!! u've been absolutely indispensable! haha great job! and of cos my two tin can chaffeurs cris dearie n darryl! *beams*

oh haha flame of anor izit u darryl?!?! i wanted to give u choc today but didnt manage to see u b4 i go for coin-counting!!! haha so sorry tink i was so tired tt i didnt write down the exciting trip we had in ur car! thx so much for helpin me drive ur family mercedes to tpt my beloved tin cans to med fac from yih... alot of times i was tinking of how i shld pay for ur damages if anythg happens to ur car hahah... u drive pretty well! *impressed* quite calm even when u hafta do a woohoo three point turn in tt narrow alley with so many other drivers looking on... ! heh. shall buy u another choc, the one i wanted to give u has melted into a disgusting mound hahah =P

oh haha back to flag day... started out on a bad note! realised tt the stickers were not moved to the computer cluster rm but were still in the medsoc rm... n we didnt have access to the medsoc rm! *swoon* woke up wes the pars, sherminny bikini and darryl ah peh just to find out who can cm n help me open the rm or find the stickers! then... dianasaur!!! came to the rescue!! woohoo!!! she just whipped out her matric card n lo and behold! the medsoc rm was open to us! almost cried with joy! thx soooooooooo much dianasaur!!!! =D then cant find the stickers in the chaotic mess!!! wahhhhh another hurdle to cross. finally colin saves the day!!! just as we were lookin all over the place he just calmly fished out all 40500 stickers from under sm rag day ding-dangs... AHHHHH haha i was almost mad with relief.

was slackin all the way lah. actuali flagday ics r s'pose to stay in sch n collect tin cans and trouble-shoot n write down particulars for tax exemption receipts... but most of the while we were super slack! was talkin to my two counsellees and gave lenith (who went off with a tin at 8am n was back by 9++am waith more than 30 bucks haha) a mini lecture on cell structure (taught by prof colin tan and assisted by prof lim huili heh). tink hes very brave to cm medicine without prior knowledge of either sec sch or jc bio! jia you woah! hopefully his og-mates can help him abit... *hint* hehe. maaz reali did a very noble thg: he donated 20 dollars out of his own poclet cos he didnt manage to get alot of donations! i am reali touched. and quite worried he has no more $ left! realised after toking to him tt he had quite alot of problems adapting to life in s'pore, gigantes pls try to rally ard him yar? tink its quite scary to b a foreign student in strange country! colin was all mr nice-guy and really reassured maaz alot i tink! the only other interestin pt was tt jianri erhmm actuali went hm during the flag day ahha and was still at hm at 145pm when the tins r s'pose to b in by 2pm! ahhaha oh no. =P

hmmm i must reali say tt i am full of respect n gratitude for the ppl who went out n did flag day seriously. firstly, it IS for charity after all. secondly, i dont believe in doing thgs for the sake of doing. (no pt doin thgs half-heartedly rite?) when i see ppl coming back with super full tin cans (i tink the heaviest tin record is held by a m2 timothy heh) i really feel... dunno leh really grateful we have ppl like them ard. cos we r in fact payin for the tins and if we dont raise a certain amt for the charities we will have to incur a loss... will have to pay for the tin cans out of medsoc funds. but then there r the 2nd grp of ppl who just took a tin out n prob spend the rest of the time shaking legs at a cafe or went shoppin lah. when we did coin counting, i was really disappointed n to tell the truth disgusted by the contents of sm tins. sm tins had only 5cent coins. sm less than a dollar in all. i wonder y this ppl bother at all. its like cheating us, themselves, and the beneficiaries. what they "raised" isnt even enuff to cover the cost of the tin can and the shirt and the stickers!!! i guess to them this isnt much, the whole world seems to be out there doin flag day anyway. but is it correct to treat it in such a flighty manner? may as well dont cm for flag day rite. it took us so much effort wrestling with weird 1980's can-openers to open the tin only to find less than 30 5cent coins inside! wah. better dont write anymore i dunno wat else to say liao.

hmmm was actuali havin lotsa fun today, had been a while since i had a proper chat with colin! abt a yr n fact muahahah since the last flag day we did. remembered we were scream-singing sm rock songs while listenin to his discman and were happily hurling friendly insults at each other!! haha many a times i threaten to tell his gf how terrible he can be oh but too bad i only noe her by sight... really pretty and sweet girl! aiyo colin shld count his blessings hehe! *grinz*
this flag day was no diff! except we nv sing anymore just insulted and crapped alot heh. n bully sennie. pasted lotsa stickers on his back without his realising woohoo!!

when xtine n gang came back from flaggin, they told me amusing tales abt jing yu's driving skills... hahah or rather lack of! hiak. oh dear sounds like they had so much fun being driven by jing yu! xtine makes it sound reali hilarious! wahhh i missed out on tt! =P must give xtine a million words of thx for bringing back yummy pancake n longans for me!! yayayay lurrrrvvve longannies!! slurp. haha was singing a made-up longan song just now hahha oh dear i am mad. oh yar n thx cris momma n greggie poppa for the titibits! hehe i feel pampered.

coin-counting went well, except the medicine pride was slightly bruised by the careless words of sm other fac's ppl. oh well learn to live n let live i guess... i was quite alrite lah but a few others were unhappy... but guess i was more ok cos i sort of noe the person who made those remarks! =P oh dear. anyway tink we raised abt $3800!!!! YAY! haha not alot but still quite an achievement considering th number of ppl who turned up with almost empty tins... =D

actually were already headin home in cris's car when xtine's mum decide to let her stay out for dinner after all!!! *wink to xtine* heh so we went to crystal jade at holland v to makan! wahhhh i am super broke. serious. tink i need to stop spending so much. wahhh but the food was GOOD! the ma po tofu... *swoon* makes me drool just tinkin abt it! wanted to eat my fav char siew pay but decided to eat a proper dinner instead. ahha in the end i went hm with only a few dollars left to my name sob.

ahhh tmr's carwash day! exciting man. i dont reali noe how to wash a car properly though... hmm. hafta be in sch super early again! 730am this time... haiz. no wonder my face is so pimply this days i need to zzz more...

oy yar whos the anonymous junior who commented not tt gigante ppl r not anxious abt studies but tt u already bought ur books huh?!?! izit terence? haha wow if not i will be reali surprised so many juniors noe i haf blog! ahaha =D

first, i must say this: TXL U ROCK!!!!! hahaha thx soooooooooooo much for helping me drag ur fellow OGLs down for flag day tmr!!! i love you!!! ahhaha i am brimming with gratitude... hey really thx alot girl!!!! owe u one!!! *beams*

had a guilt trip today, realised i didnt really advised my two counsellees what books to buy and whether they need my help or not... oops. considering what a great help my own counsellor derrick has been to me, i feel really bad... too caught up in my owb life n flag day stuff liao. anyway i finally called them to give them my wise words!! ahha hope its not too late... realised both of them didnt buy any books!!! *worried* die lah. tink my junior OG super heck care abt studies, heard the other OG juniors were busy swappin prices and stuff on wat to buy among themselves! wow.

hmm i went clementi pri sch with luciano today... felt quite scared cos i was s'pose to be the trouble-shooter but i didnt now anythg!!! haha was pretending lah. luckily victor was there to man the fort heh. wah this is the first time i reali know who victor is, and i am impressed! shaofeng reali noes how to pick his successor man...! tink he will be a super good rag n flag head next yr woohoo! super funny, easy-going and good with kids guy... *beams*

feeling kinda *blue*

today was an exciting day. but smhow i dont really feel like blogging. hmm got a feelin this may be one of the last few times i feel an urge to blog liao.

today seems to have a "last-time-i-will-be-doing-this" feeling. woke up to the smell of rain. seems poetic smhow cos all of us ex-hwachongians will be going back to our sch for the home-coming carnival... probably the last time we still feel like we really belong there. cos with the merger of the chinese high sch and hwa ching jc, smhow the feeling's not the same leh. the logo will be gone, the sch name changed, and hcjc will be swarming with tchs guys! ok not tt i have anythg against tchs guys... *sheepish* but i cant imagine ppl from schools other than tchs and nygs applying to hwa chong anymore. i mean, non-affiliated schools like my old sec sch river valley high, where can we go? seems funny to come to a sch whereby more than half the students have already known each other for 4 yrs!

it was bittersweet lah. i was happy to be back in hc, feels like the good old days! as we dance mass dances, take photos, said hello to our teachers and met up with our seniors and juniors... really have alot of fond memories back in hwa chong. it felt like coming home as we stepped into the sch compound. i felt like i belong. nice feeling eh? and to see all my council mates again! wow! even though not alot of ppl went back this time, we saw ppl who were studyin overseas like lauren! and even thom kong and joseph phua popped by! enjoyed myself lots dancing in the central plaza just like we used to, with my dance partner dennis! yay! haha though i stubbed my poor toes a fair number of times (was dancing barefoot cos my slippers were threatening to fly off and hit the face of the person in front of me heh) and was stepping into puddles and goodness knows what... then what was left of 28th council sat down and sang hcjc songs, led by zhengyi and willy. wonder if we will still be able to dance these dances and sing these songs once we merge!

the carnival ended in the evening, then me, xtine, lenith and fuqiang went to meet the rest of the og for bbq at west coast park. xtine and me had a durian craving so decided to visit our fav clementi durian stall to buy durians! after much haggling and debating and pondering over finances, we bought 15 boxes for $33! haha yep we are totally broke. i dug out every single coin to pay for them haha! but not bad, me and xtine are reali cut out to be ah-sohs! the durians were actually selling at 3 boxes for $10! which means they shld have cost us $50! WOW! i am so impressed by ourselves haha.

bbq was good, alot of the freshies turn up! very happy to see the non-medicampers integrating quite well with the medicampers... looks like we dont hafta worry abt them feeling left out after all! *beams* tink we reali have very nice juniors who reali do try to make the newbies feel welcome... =) i had the time of my life eating durians non-stop!!!! wowee! even cristelle who hates durians urgh ate one!!! *applause* realised tt huilin and zhong kai dont like durians, but terence was the worst... turns green at the sheer heavenly smell of durians!!!! *disappointed* wah king of fruits leh how can anyone not LOVE durians? haha anyway yep we finished the 15 boxes. just like tt. =D actually i wanted to stuff myself silly with durians to the point whereby my whole face has major pimple outbreak, i lose my voice and have nose-bleed, but tink didnt succeed lah. so sad. means i didnt eat enough. haha.

at the end of the bbq i was in a reflective mood. smhow the bbq seems to mark the end of a chapter of my life. dunno why leh. i feel like the real sch term is abt to begin for real, not much time left for me to be a crazy madwoman who speak at the top of my voice and can act really bimbotic smtimes. *shudder* haha actuali i feel disgusted with myself smtimes. tink the juniors muz tink i am an airhead or smthg. but it feels like the last time i can be so carefree already! when sch starts i bet my forehead will be continually furrowed in concentration as i pored over stacks of medical books. URGH and double urgh. but guess its up to me how i want to lead my life eh? hope i just dont get caught up in tt peer-pressure studying mania again!

sigh. have a few mind-boggling tasks at hand. to help the juniors find counsellors. so hard! hafta tink of personalities lah, this and that. i dont want to pair up a senior with a junior who cant stand the sight of each other.... oh well. =P

HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY YE NAING WIN! my ko ko! haha hope that u have a great bdae in myanmar! hmmm my letter may have reach in time i tink... heh
