OKAY JUST CALM DOWN

2010-07-14T19:05:00.003+08:00

i'm always like that. once this kind of thing happens to me. i just can't get on with my life. and i'm just like omg omg omg what if what if what if. arrr why am i like that. pfffft.

okay first of all it's totally totally my fault. my carelessness. so i shall not dwell on that. cause i know it. and there's nothing i can do now anyway.

SO. I SHALL JUST CALMLY EVALUATE THE SITUATION.

okay i should not fret because no one would really throw it away. i mean who would be so weird/mean?

AND at the very worst. if i really can't find it. at least i know what my idea was, and roughly what it looked like. i mean i know i took very long to do it. but it wasn't like very very tedious or anything. i think i took so long cause i was trying to think of my layout at the same time..

and i really have a lot of other important things to do/worry about. SO. i should really stop thinking about it. i mean, there's nothing i can do, now that i already stupidly left it behind. sheesh.

i shall just try and go look for it first thing tomorrow. although i know that it won't be open! cause it's too early in the morning. and all the studios will be locked. ARHH. what should i doooooooooo. okay be calm.

erm if it's lost, it's lost. i'll draw it again. i shall just forget this all. i've been wasting way too much time thinking about this. so i'm gonna make myself more productive now.

2010-07-11T21:41:00.002+08:00

sigh i feel like i could say so many things. but i don't know whether i should. for one, i should really be taking a shower now. it's a sunday night! school tomorrow! but then again world cup finals later, which i must catch. since i haven't (i admit) been watching the world cup at all. i mean bits here and there. but not a whole 90 minutes. but yeah i'm excited :D actually i'm sort of sick and should be trying to get as much sleep as possible. but i'll never get another chance to watch a live world cup final till i'm like TWENTY. and gosh, i'll be oldddd. but anyway.

i was just reading my previous posts. which were basically mostly in sec two. which is crazy haha! but yeah i decided i shall continue to blog here. i actually really hope no one reads this cause it's sort of gonna become my own rambling/complaining/planning space. and anyone who has the misfortune of coming across this blog is in for a reallll treat (if you know what i mean)

but um. i have so many things to do. and so many things to worry about. seriously. sometimes/oftentimes i can be such a sad and pathetic person. but whatever, i refuse to emo in my blog. it's meant for everything but emoing.

off to take a shower. :) GO SPAIN?

HELLO.

HAHA I don't know what I'm doing here. but just had this sudden weird instinct to post something on my long gone blog. but i'm only doing it out of boredom/inspired from reading blogs the whole afternoon. so this doesn't mean I have revived my blog.

2009-03-01T20:24:00.004+08:00

I'm here after a long time :) it's march the first. so fast leh :( well so many things have happened between the last time i blogged and now :o

school's been pretty fun so far :) sec 3 ad camp was a memorable one although the tennis & netball peeps couldn't do anything -.- but it was still fun :) 3/3 rocked campfire night WOAH :D

we lost semis against raffles quite close & then lost 3rd,4th placing to mgs. but it's okay :) we're really happy we got 4th okay :)) finals was postponed over and over again (why does it keep raining?) but it's over now :) so funny, the convenor was like ... and so we have finally finished the finals lol -.- so raffles beat nanyang, acsi beat vs.

friday had friendly with c 'div. omg i was like dying i dunno why. super tired after the whole week. it was a tiring week :(

i wanna watch marley&me, benjamin button, he's just not that into you, pinkpanther 2, transformers! :D haha. cheryl & i watching on thursday lol =.=

2009-01-10T10:01:00.003+08:00

hello! to the few few people who are reading this :) i went bloghopping this morning, and i was so wowed by the so-many people regularly updating their blogs :o therefore, after seventy-one days of noblogging, i have COME BACK :D delighted, anybody? (.. no response. okay fine :()

well anyway, a lot has happened during that rather long period i was mia and i'd be killing myself if i tried to recount everything so i'll just forget about the last 62 days first [come, we are entering the time transporter --- anddd.. PSHHHHPAHHHRAHHHHHLOOOO--POOF! and the door has slided open. we step out together..] and here we are! the first day of school :D yup, it was a good first day, a great first week. i love my teachers, and (much more) importantly, i love my friends in threethreeeee :)) seriously, the people in my class, like everyone, are such nice sweet people :) i was sitting with pinkie for the first week. and since mr chan says we have to switch places, and sit next to someone from another class, i am now sitting next to fellow tennis pal, NETTIE :D some people feel it wasn't such a terrific idea of mr chan's, cause believe it or not, the class became so much more noisy after we found our new partners HAHA. well this past week was a busy and tiring one? cause had roundrobin mon, wed, fri. and physical test MONDAY :o and i think our homework load hasn't exactly been too short (as in the pile not high la lol) gosh, and the teachers totally know how to take advantage of the short 2-day period (meant for relaxing & recovering from a long week). they're like 'oh! today is friday ah? should give y'all a bit more to do..' or 'can y'all do a bit more since it's the weekend?' yeah, it got kinda irritating. and i had to bring back all my textbooks - physics, chem, geog, chinese. and actually had to bring back the two humongous A & E math textbooks. but i was smart and copied all the questions and answers on fulscap haha. okay maybe it wasn't such a good idea, cause it took a rather lonnng time to copy it all.. i can't believe it's only been a week since the first day of school :o i keep thinking or feeling that i've been going to school for a month. it's so weird. but i think it's better cause that means i've fallen back into school-mode? and i think it's wonderful that we can all still go recess with each other and that our class rooms are back-to-back :) and i still have cheena lessons with grace :D but no ASHLEY :'''(( and we got zhang lao shi again hahaha. FOUR YEARS LEH :o thank goodness zhanglaoshi's a nice laoshi :) okay this weekend, i gotta cut my hair & take passport photo, run & do situps, HOMEWORK, and that better be all.. aiyah, gotta go for chinese tuition now so goodbye my bestfriends!

2008-10-30T20:34:00.014+08:00

2008-09-09T16:25:00.002+08:00

hello :D this week has been really funny. though it's only been 2 days of the week. but i like these last 2 days :] i think right now everything is just the way it's supposed to be and i'm happy ;]WHOOOOOOOO!! feddy wonnnnn :D:D ahhh i love my dearest feddy :]] 3 sets leh! not bad right. i'm so happpyyy for him, you goooo feddy! just 2 more grand slams. work it! you know i think it's quite scary how it's been raining non-stop here. i mean it rains every single day! that's just weird. and they had to keep postponing the semis and finals in newyork cause there were so many huge storms which never happened before :o what is happening to the world? anyway, the funny thing that happened today, was when cyn and i were walking back to school after getting a drink, and we walked past this group of indian guys who were speaking in english, and there was this one guy who was like: ya, you know ah, last time my alarm clock was not on the table, it was in my mehmolee. everytime i wake up automatic you know! ah we couldn't stop laughing at that. oh and the funny thing that happened yesterday was when we came into class all sleepy in the morning, only to breathe in dead-decaying-maggoty rat gas. it was sick okay. at first i thought someone shat in class cause it really smelt like bad diarrhoea. and then the entire baoyi/kelly row moved to join tables with the natalietong/marian row. and then every teacher that came in asked why we had such a funny new sitting arrangement and everyone would burst into laughter at the teacher's reaction. and for the rest of the day everyone was scaring each other with: EH!! your hair got maggot! haha funny day, monday was. and on monday, another embarrassing thing happened to me :( well, at least it was only in front of one person. i was having kou shi and i was reading the lang du passage. and like half way through reading it well, i thought to myself 'eh val, you're doing so great!' and then at that moment i stumbled over my words and after that my voice became all shaky and i began saying all the di si sheng as di yi sheng. it was so embarrassing la. thank goodness lao shi didn't laugh at me :( okay i'm supposed to be studying now. yay for federer!! bye :]

when you're gone,

2008-08-31T22:39:00.002+08:00

the pieces of my heart are missing you.

everything's happening so fast. i feel like i'm trapped in this day and i can't rest, and soon i'll jump from a rude awakening and realise that everything is wrong. i'm not emo, just a little confused :)

anyway last training on thursday then went to tanglin mall to buy teacher's day stuff and went home to bake honey joys, write notes & print pics for lisa's farewell board and i slept at two. then next day teacher's day celebs (which were really good), and running around giving our presents to our teachers, then lunch lisa, grace, cyn & pearlene. lisa's farewell was really great xD i loved the swing & the thing that made me go really dizzy and the bbq :) and somehow that farewell made me realise how nice the people of the world are :) as in really, people are really nice things, really nice :) am i making sense? okay, then i wrote lisa's goodbye letter till one and fell asleep then woke up at 5 to finish the letter then left at 5.30 to go airport with cyn. yay, i know how to get to the airport from my house now :) take 77/174 to tangs, take underpass to orchard mrt, take mrt to cityhall, change to the green line, then take to changi airport, then take skytrain :) and lisa had to go so soon :( we took pics and then cyn and i watched lisa all the way till she couldn't be seen :( we emoed and had breakfast at macs then went back to school to finish aep, which we had so NO mood to do la. but i finished anyway, then went back home to bathe, and went to pasiris for some relative's dinner. i was so sleepy, i slept at 12.30 and woke at 11.30, and i just missed the whole mass :o so had drama meeting then went for mass, then dinner at ivins. so tired now :(

LLEEEEEESARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! i'm shouting your name really really loudly (in my head) CANNN YOUUUU HEARRR MEE??

I MISS YOU LISA KOH YI WEN!!! WO HEN XIANG NEEEEEEEEE! i'm thinking telepathy works.

I'll slowly write you a dedication, which will be a long one i think. and then i'll post it here :]

2008-08-03T16:46:00.003+08:00

this post is dedicated to

JULIA MARIE THONG :D
today was jie's confirmation! whooo :D i'm so proud of her! she looked so cute in her dress!

today was a fun fun day :)

lunch with short & bea & lari at crystal jade. it was really funny cause my dad gave us 50 bucks to spend for lunch and we were calculating how much money we can spend cause of the 17% gst & service charge. so with 50 dollars, we could only order a maxiumum of 42 dollars worth of food. so the waitress aunty came to ask us what drinks we wanted, and we all ordered soya bean. then we realised one glass of soya bean is 2 dollars and that would be 8 dollars gone. so we started waving our hands about to get the aunty back. and we were like, sorry aunty can we change to ice water please? then the aunty was like kind of pissed, but she left and returned with one glass of water and 3 glasses of soya bean. and we told her, sorry aunty, we said change ALL to ice water. the aunty was like very pissed now but she changed it for us (i hope she didn't put poison in our water :O) and then later, lari suddenly started collecting everyone's wet tissues and returned it to the waitress so we wouldn't need to pay for it xD and after our really yummy and worth-it lunch, we asked for the bill and only after we had gotten back our change, we realised that they had charged us for the wet tissues! so short called this waitor and told him we returned them the tissues, so the guy came back, all sorry-sorry-sorry, and gave us the one dollar and twenty cents. i tell you, it was super paiseh but funny! we really look very poor. but the food was really good :D we ordered like so many many dishes and we were all really full, so i guess it was worth it :) and then jie came from lunch with the archbishop and we went to the basement to get ice cream :]

ah.. today was such a nice day :) i think jie's friends are really nice people :)

aw man, i think i'm going to get sick again cause i plucked out another two teeth yesterday :[ i'm gonna get my braces really soon!

i don't feel like going back to school. i feel like sleeping at ten and waking up at ten :[

2008-07-27T19:18:00.003+08:00

2008-07-03T17:00:00.002+08:00

I'm blogging again :) i don't feel guilty blogging now cause we've practically got ourselves a holiday - friday, saturday, sunday & monday! though friday isn't exactly a holiday - but no lessons! which = to no thinking :) i think tomorrow will be fun :) youth day celebs! grouped up with lisa and grace <33 so sad laura won't be able to come though :( she's got competition :O i hope she runs faster than the fastest typhoon!

anyway, today was a boring day. school was quite boring. chinese was kind of scary, cause lao shi scolded us quite seriously. geog was okay, we basically just did research in the com lab (by the way ms soh gets on my nerves >:[ ) english was quite funny actually, the mr brown show is damn funny xD lit was normal. math was okay. and science was quite fun :) i love my science partner :) i'm so glad to have such fun science and chinese partners cause they make me look forward to those lessons :) i love ashlay and laura (K!) <33

during math today, mrs wong told us about tutoring the p4s math. i was super excited cause i love teaching people math :) it's the only thing i can teach :) but i have stupid stupid stupid training every wednesday. but i don't care :) i'll just tell my teacher i/c that it's sort of compulsory and that i really want to help those p4s (which i do :D). besides, we're not having any tournament whatsoever so it should be fine :) yay. i can't wait. i hope my student is really adorable and obedient ;) then i can look forward to that 45-minute lesson every wednesday whee :)

this is what i have to complete by monday:-

english yellow file - pg 65 & 66
english vocab - 2 sports news articles
math lesson 5 - last 3 qns
math homework 5

aep - draw 10 sketches of "IJ Spirit" =.= =.=(shit. by saturday morning)
aep - finish the other 2 sketches of my scissors - animated & changing scale + purpose
aep - improve on final sa1 piece -.-
CLEAN MY ROOM :D

Yes, i'm cleaning up my room :D I just started my major "CLEAN & CLEAR" (NO, not the facial wash -.- it's cleaning my room - like wiping up all dust/dirt/undesirable substances, and clearing my room - getting rid of all unnecessary rubbish) and this time, it's going to work! i only started on tuesday. i took nearly 3 hours to clean & clear up this really tiny area of my room - just this tiny desk beside my bed which has miraculously accumulated an entire dustbin full of junk and rubbish. yup, i don't know how and i don't know why, i took 3 hours to clear that tiny thing. it was seriously full of all sorts of weird objects. like my really weird collections of random objects, including coffee beans, differently shaped and coloured sequins, all kinds of beads, crumpled receipts stuffed into the corners of the drawers, a golf ball, 4 sharpeners, clips and hair ties, primary 5 blank excursion forms, and goodness knows what else. so after clearing up all that and stuffing it into the bin, i was honestly so so so proud of myself :D:D heehee. so now, i've drawn up an entire clean & clear plan :) i have split my room up into 6 stations. so every day i'll pick a station to work on :) and in no time (i hope), my room will be sparkingly clean :D yay, i can't wait! maybe i'll have an opening ceremony to my new-and-improved clean & clear room :)

2008-06-18T18:58:00.002+08:00

HEY :D i haven't blogged for weeks i think, or at least that's what it feels like. ah, so many things happened. so much to say but i guess i'm too lazy to type it all out sorry :) anyway, i just got back from kl today :) kl was fun! i mean, we didn't go sightseeing or whatever, but we shopped a lot at one utama cause it was connected to our hotel :) and we visited relatives and friends. every day was like wake up, breakfast, shopping, lunch, shopping and dinner with some sort of relatives/friends. haha sounds boring but it was somehow fun :)

awman, i miss hotels :( i miss not making my bed (not that i do it at home either, hahaha). ah, i think what i miss is room service :D

crap! school's beginning in less than 5 days and i still have some homework undone :O man, i don't want school to start again :'( and my sister's going back to school tomorrow so i'll be practically home all alone on thursday and friday to do homework :( sheesh. AHH, most of all, i don't want saturday to come :O:O:O i'm scared :(

can someone please come online now and talk to mee! we can whine about school starting together :D

2008-06-06T16:28:00.007+08:00

Yay, jie's back :D she brought back lots of food & random nice things :)

Two weeks of june holidays gone :( this is bad :O I still have to do things that I've been waiting to do.

But anyway, here's an update of what I've been doing, just to assure myself that these 14 days of holidays have not gone to waste. Let's see. tennis with tessa, mish & gen at rtc. tennis with tessa @ her condo. Spex - doubles with Tessa. Lost the first round -.- but got the 'experience' at least ;) baked chiffon cake with porpor <3 tennis with mum&dad&uncletang&auntyjo. watched Narnia with pingen & tsiyuan :) steamboat at porpor's place, yay family gathering :D & most recently tennis camp :D!

:'( the holidays are going fast like they always do. can't imagine going back to school :O but it's okay, for now, I shall enjoy what's left of it, and when school comes again, then yeah okay :) Ahh, I really hope lisakoh doesn't disappear in beijing & leave us here forever :'(:O [& i thought ip would be the worst thing :( ]

I LIKE TV :P i like both the 7pm & the 9pm chinese shows :D the 7pm one's very funny & the 9pm one is quite interesting :) then there's french open, which is getting super exciting, what with sharapova gone, henin hardenne dropping out (forever?), federer dying out (:(), and this new french black guy, monfils, who is super tall & powerful, & of course nadal still on his clay winning streak ;D so sad :( it's ending this weekend. but after that is wimbledon; my favourite :D oh, and the new local show on channel5, sayangsayang seems like a good show, every wednesday @ 8pm. andandand terminator! the sarah connor chronicles ;D at 8.30pm after sayangsayang. haha i think it's quite cool, the machine people are really good actors y'know, so expressionless & machine-like. and when they get shot or run over by a car, they just get up and fight again even though there'll be holes in their bodies, exposing the metal machinery & wires; so cool & exciting :D

I wanna watch kungfu panda ;D maybe this weekend :)

arrr. i want the holidays to slow down :(

2008-05-19T14:18:00.002+08:00

I haven't blogged for ages. & since it's vesak day today, I will but I'll keep it brief (:

Friday 16/5 IJ FIESTA/SPIRIT DAY :D it was really really fun, especially because our haunted house was the best (: I didn't expect our visitors to come out crying though. I thought they'd just be thrilled? But I guess that's just how great we were haha. I think the haunted house made plenty of monayy (: & maybe, just maybe, our class will win the "FURR-REEE CHALET". hahaha.

Saturday 17/5 Woke up at 8.30 :O We were running really late for Godma & Godpa's 20th anniversary/renewal of marriage vows. But still managed to get there before the 'bride & groom' at 9.05 (: It was a really hot day. (in fact, it's been terribly hot these past few days) the aircon in the blessed sacrament church wasn't really helping either. Jie & I helped Aunty Sunita with the presents & giving out mass booklets (: Jon sang some solo verses, Bryan read the first reading & julianne (was soo cute when she) sang the gospel acclamation. After mass, we had lunch & erm entertainment? haha. Jon, Bryan & Julianne were so sweet when they said their speech/dedication thing :') The Nonya cusine was yummyy :D Jie & I had to skip dessert (or at least I did) cause we had to give out door gifts to the leaving people. I loved this day & Godma + Godpa are such a loving couple :')

Sunday 18/5 I keep waking up incredibly late nowadays. Record of 10.50 :O AHHhh. I was very late for mass (which starts at 11) Can't believe mum didn't bother to wake me up >:( After that, lunch at great world, watched Made of Honour (which was quite funny, but the storyline was kind of predictable), bought Kelly's present, then went to play tennis with Jie (: Rushed back home to bathe, before dinner @ thomson plaza's peach garden with grand uncles & aunties from malaysia. Dinner was good & I was very hungry too. Then went back to Porpor's house & watched the Thomas Cup & dunno what tennis claycourt Cup finals (: Aiya, Federer lost to Nadal on clay, no surprises. Went home deadbeat & slept at 2. which is probably the reason why on

Monday 19/5 (or today), I ended waking up at 11. Urgh. Don't know how I'm gonna wake up at 6 tomorrow haha. Anyway, I think I'm supposed to go Wheelock now with mum & then tennis with dad in the evening? I'm lazyyy. & how come gossipgirl epi 18 stilllll isn't outtt :( If you were wondering why I'm suddenly stuck on gg, ask Lisa hahaha.

& that was my not-so-brief post. It's so hotttt >:( going wheelock now ): AIRCONNN :D

2008-05-14T15:10:00.003+08:00

i don't like today.

2008-05-05T11:40:00.003+08:00

Okay, science was pretty demoralising, and my handwriting was worse than ever. I've got so many wrong already :( But I shall try to forget that first.

It's so windy and cold now. And I'm sleepy.

Still can't believe I screwed up yet another paper >:[

But whatever manzzz. Lit's tomorrow & I need to studay.

Growl. Today was not a good day :'(

2008-05-03T11:13:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was a pretty nice day :) History paper was alright. & breakfast with Lisa, Laura, Grace & Pearlene was fun & funny. Hahaha. I can now eat hotcakes more efficiently with Lisa's oh-so-cool theory of cutting it neatly into tiny pieces first, so that its easier & funner to eat (: I finished all my syrup & everyone only finished half :O I thought everyone finishes all the syrup? Haha, it's nice and sweet (: & I kept drowning my pieces of pancake in the syrup (unintentionally). As usual, Lisa was talking really loudly and noisily, until the people beside us were like SHHH! hahahaa.

& last night, jie was trying to choose her confirmation name, and this is what she has come up with:

Julia Anatolia --> she likes this one a lot but to be named after a state?
Julia Kirsten --> Dad readily objected this one. I said 'Jie was thinking of Julia Kirsten' & he was like 'What?' and I said 'Kirsten' and Dad went 'Huh??' and again I repeated 'Kirsten!' and he said kinda annoyed 'What? How do you spell that?' "K. I. R. S. T. E. N." And he says "Aiya, dowan la, dowan. Just a choose a simple, classic one, not one that nine out of ten people have not heard of. People will be saying "Huh? What? Clapton? Huh? Oh, oh! Curtain!" and then he laughs at his own joke. Dad can be really lame sometimes..
Julia Anne! --> Heehee. I came up with this one :) It's such a sweet name :) Kind of like my cousin's - Julianne ;)

Okay there were many many more. But it's all up to jie herself to choose (: Hope she chooses Julia Anne, then I can tell the whole world I named my sister! Haha :D

Yes, anyway, back to science. One last chapter - digestion! & 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF!!! --> into the human stomach! O.o Hehehe, that was kind of funny. No, I am kind of funny ;)

Yesterday - Chinese paper sucked. I don't understand how they can give us 1 h 40 min for two english comprehensions and a summary, and 1 h 30 min for chinese paper which consists of fill in the ci yus, zao ju, summary, two mcq compres, and one written compre. & what's with them and their obssession of sharks?! >:( growl.

But lunch after that was fun :) We were all starving and broke. We wanted to eat at ichiban, except we couldn't quite afford it && I needed to buy my watercolour pencils! But in the end, cyn kindly lent everyone ten bucks each from her posb & laura very generously gave me her nearly new set of fabercastell pencils so I could use my money for lunch. THANKS LAURA <33

Lunch was good :) I had lots of unagi sushi + udon, and then mcflurry at macs. & even four hours after lunch, I wasn't really hungry haha.

I despise the weather these days. I know before when it was raining a lot, I hated it. But now the weather's so humid that I get all sleepy. & my afternoon becomes unproductive & I don't do much at night either.

Today was pretty unproductive too because of the stupid scorching sun that gets me lightheaded. I can't stand myself >:[ But I think I shall stay up a bit later tonight and study or else I might just kill myself for procrastinating. Except I don't like studying after daylight cause it's so dark & not nice to study. So I don't know when I'll ever start since I can't study in the day or the night.

Punch me please :(

2008-04-17T16:53:00.006+08:00

Haha, today was a nice day :)

For PE, we walked six rounds and then played badminton, while the people who needed to do PFT were up in the hall.

Did you know I rock at badminton? Haha, yes I do. Even though everyone says I play it like tennis, I still think I'm good at it :)

Laura is really good at it, too, better than me :( Haha. She's natural athlete la, sprint so fast & has so much power.

English was quite entertaining (Rachel's group!). They had riddles ... && stickers as prizes! HEHE. I love stickers - they're shiny, pretty & sticky :D I remember three of the riddles:

How many times can 5 be taken away from 25? --- ONE!
What can you catch but not throw back? --- A COLD/FLU!
If Mary's mother had 4 children, North, South, and East, what was the name of the fourth child? --- MARY!

I love riddles (actually only the ones I can answer cause then they make me feel real smart (: ) The rest of the day was a breeze, except during Science.. Mrs Tan was under a big, dark, black cloud :O & we were trying so hard to be really late for Chinese so that we can skip tingxie, & in the end lao shi seemed to have forgotten all about it! Hehe.

Shoot, I'm screwed for AEP. I am utterly disgusted at the procrastinator side of me. I cannot risk going behind schedule. Yet, here I am. It's such a hot day. I feel like running.

Gee, I just realised I haven't had my lunch, other than nuggets & hello panda. Came home, and no one was there :( Oh wellsh, I guess I'll have to wait till dinner.

Oh oh oh! Tomorrow is Fantasia 7! So exciting :D:O:D I can't wait! Hope Ms Ho doesn't drag AEP tomorrow. We're already missing IJ Fiesta dry-runs, which Ms Ho failed to be persuaded by Pinky to let us off.

Sheesh. Now I've run out of excuses not to do work --aw man.

I AM FAT AND UNFIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

my sister just wrote that. she just ran 2.4 --> 13.19 min haha

2008-04-16T17:14:00.004+08:00

Wow, I realised I haven't posted for more than a month :O

Today was okay. Except aep may just kill me. But thank goodness there are funny people to make my day better :) Choonchoon makes me laugh a lot :D

I heard rgs lost to mgs in tennis c'div finals just now. Heehee. The score was 4-1.

2008-02-11T19:49:00.000+08:00

Okay chinese new year's over :( Did I not say it was a blast? (cause it sure was :D)

new year's eve was woohoo! - the concert was really funnyy & physco outing with sonia<33,>

first day, we had lunch at qiba's house, and then went over to porpor's place. second day, we visited uncle joseph + aunty betty. Later, godma & family came over & julianne, bryan, jie and I played 3 rounds of taboo - super fun :D

third day must've been the besttt! We all went to sentosa. Jie & I for Mariel's partay & mum, dad, porpor, gonggong just to relax. Lunch was good, even though the main course was a little stringy, haha.
And then we headed to palawan beach. It was so fun until cannot fun (stolen from lisakoh). Started with football (which all the girls, esp me SUCK at). Some girls broke their toenails (gross, I know). But I was the smart one - keep running around, following wherever the action moved, pretending to be into the game, except I'd automatically avoid the ball when it came near me :D I think the whole 20 minutes we played, I only kicked tha ball six times -.-
After football, we had a 4-legged race :) I grouped with Mariel + Glenys. We are super pro - came in first, after the original first team was disqualified for carrying the middle person, hahaha.
After our failed attempts at volleyball, we moved on to floating captain's ball :D:D. It was da most fun & we all lost dunno how many calories yoh!
Before I had to go, we burried mariel in sand, nearly to her neck. Hahaha (plus we gave her ginormous sand boobs ;D)

& the fourth day, was nothing much, except for dinner with uncle clive + aunty sunita, where I had way too much lasagna :O

& that ends my cny holiday :)

And now it's back to school - not my favourite place to be in, but that's life for you - unfair. Another bad week. Today - tea chapter outing, tuesday - drama observation + friendly doubles with priya & friend, wednesday - animation + aep, thursday - training, friday - meeting with ms lim + chinese tuition, saturday - om/sc investigative meeting, sunday - free! (I hope). And it's not like I can look forward to the march holidays either - tennis camp :( I'm so screwed. I haven't studied for history test (this thursday & next thursday). & I have no idea why I'm here when I should be doing homework. GRAH.

Whatever. I'm still going to finish my post :) So today - our tea chapter outing :D It was like the best outing, no, the best chinese outing everr. It was practically going to chinatown for tea. The method of brewing tea was really cool & we got tea eggs + tangyuan :) & everyone was just fantasising over the whole brew-tea process.

Today was fun :) I hope the rest of the week will be good :O

2008-02-08T18:19:00.001+08:00

I LOVE CHINESE NEW YEAR ><

Not only do you get da money, you get yummy biscuits and food :D And to top it all off, we get cousins-quality-time :) Awwww.

Let me explain my love for chinese new year--

I love my cousins :D
I love family get-togetherness :)
I love holidays :)
I love not going to school.
I love visiting houses.
I love getting visited in my house.
I love any sort of cause for celebration :)
I love waking and sleeping late.
I love the freeduum.
I love dressing up. -okay I don't really dress up but I wear nice clothes ;)

Man, I keep wishing I lived really near my cousins. Then we could visit each other all the time. Wheee :) That'll be too awesome to be true!

Okay, so I'm finally done with nineteen minutes. It was really really good. The ending was pretty good too :) I'm on to my next jodipicoult - my sister's keeper.

Last day of shou zu! Suparrr exciting! Hahaha. Can't wait!

Whoops. Gotta change now. Jie's practically forcing me to run with her. No, no, no. I'm doing this on my own accord. I want to run. I want to be fit and healthy. I want to lose all my chinese-new-year-gorged-goodies-gained-weight-calories. I will do this.

Sayonara my unhealthy friends. Valerie is off to run!

2008-01-25T16:57:00.000+08:00

What a busy school week! I tell you, every day when I got home this week, I'd bathe, have dinner and attempt to multi-task - homeworking + sleeping. So that gives me plenty of reason to watch australian open now (FEDERER and DJOKOVIC! - superduper exciting!), though I've got so muchmuch homework :) Really, this year's aus open is freakay because: -

Sharapova beat Henin easy peasy &
Nadal was very strangely beaten by some unseeded French (Tsonga, if I'm not wrong) :O

Next thing you know, Djokovic beats Federer! HAHAHA. No way. No matter how humorous (and cute) Djokovic is, Federer has GOT to win.

I'm such a binge :O Chinese new year's a week (or two) away, and I've already started on them goodies. Yikes! And no one seems to be stopping me.

Sort of like this week, I have a feeling next week's gonna suck too :(

Monday - aep presentation :O
Wednesday - aep thingy due :O :O
Thursday - Physical Test :X :X :X

But there are things I'm looking forward to next week..

Monday - CNY banner painting :D
Wednesday - Oh, how I love birthdays :D LISAkohyiwen turns 14 ;D
Friday - Science outing - cloning of plants :)

I dread and look forward to tomorrow. dread the afternoon, can't wait for the night :D

WHYWHYWHY.

Haiz. So many things to do. I'd better put them down so I don't forget;

English - vocabulary & comprehension
Chinese - learn tingxie
Geog - water supply w/s
Lit - The Knife
AEP - that thing
Drama - write journal
Tennis - RUN at botanic. *impt*

That's about it (I hope..)

I wished I had that remote control in Click. Fast forwardd >>> all the way to tomorrow at 6.30pm. But unfortunately, it ceases to exist :( :(

Despite those unhappy things this week, I will make myself forget them all, ready for the new week :)

& I can't believe I was - <-- this close to being late for school today. Blame it on my loose socks, which I have thankfully disposed, so they weren't cause me trouble again HMPH >:)

So about today ---

Today was good :) (besides that ERGGH thing in the back of my mind) Yes.

Geog was SUPERDEE FUNNAYYY ;D;D (damn funny, until cannot funny - Lisa's catchphrase lol. Later, I shall put down all Lisa's catchphrases! Haha) Chien Wen's evil laugh was so convincing (& shocking!), and Grace was awesome at improvising her funny lines!

PE was quite fun too :) We tried softball - just throw&catching for 10 minutes. But it was still fun :) Chinese was okay. I think chinese lessons are like the most qing song lessons nowadays :) Math was normal and OM was FUN :D Mrs Yap didn't come again (Lisa & Grace claim she's got a weekly disease, hahaha) But we used our time wisely - talking about necessary things (such as what to get Lisa for her birthday, where Laura very smartly repeated her question thrice:- Val, where did you get your ear rings from? with Lisa sitting directly oppisite her. haha. And she was so confused when Grace gave her a huge slap on the thigh under the desk, HAHA!)

And then I had lunch with Laura and Sarah and Pearlene and Natasha. We all had roti john, hehe. Went to the interchange with Pearlene :) And I've been watching tennis since then :D

OH MY GOSH. Federer is so losing :O 7-5, 5-1 now. GASP. This cannot be happening. Federer? Losing? SCARY.

omg. that woman just called. as if i haven't been reminded of it enough

And now for "LISA'S CATCH PHRASES"

I am smart and cool and cool and smart.
I am too kewl for school.
Damn xyz until cannot xyz

That's all for today folks ;D Tune in next time for more "LISA'S CATCH PHRASES"!

2008-01-15T18:51:00.000+08:00

It rained today. Again. I just finished my colonialism essay! Yay, tomorrow's gonna be a nice day :) HHF, OM, chinese, CME, english, EP and AEP :D That's just 3 periods for the ENTIRE day of real real studying!

AHHHH! I just jumped out of my skin when that AHHHH! pigeon flapped its wings so hard and loud at my window sill :O It was just approximately 55 centimetres away from me! And it stared at me, and I stared back, and we shared this freaky chemistry - eye-to-eye thing! SO SCARY! I'm so traumatised! Oh! Speaking of traumatised, what was way more traumatising was that eww eww eww video we watched during english class. AHHHHH! (when I say AHHHH, I'm really shouting it in my head) It was so icky and gross and freaky and icky and gross and yucky! AHAH! Speaking of YUCKY!, mr jiow was AHHHH! so unbearably lame (yet funny) today. Gosh, can't stand it. He was saying: when you do your number two, ... And everyone was What's number two? And he had to stop and explain it so specifically - 1 is a liquid, and 2 is solid. 3 is semi, and 6 and a half... HAHAHAHA! He didn't want to tell us. But anyway, back to the lesson. So he was imitating, or rather guessing how sarah would be 'reflecting' on the toilet bowl on where her number 2 goes after flushing. And then, after drama class, when sarah, nut, pinky and I were walking back to class, mr jiow passed us and said: Oh! Hi reflective friends! and everyone was laughing, while i was like Huh? Okay I was slow, but then again, I always am :(

Today was really quite an exciting day :) OHOH. I forgot to talk about drama! Everyone acted so so so well! Let me write down the real BRILLIANT drama mamazz: nut, shi pei, and chin yen. And jasmine was simply unbelievable! Great job you guys! Keep it that way for the drama observation! Hahaha. Oh yeah, and at first everyone thought we were going to hongkong when actually the hong kong people were coming over. Hahaha.

I'm aware that my post today is super jumbled up, so disorganised. TSK. No choice! Shou zu started already! Bye :D

2008-01-14T17:51:00.000+08:00

YOU MADE MY BLACK DAY - sung to the tune of 'Bad Day'

You made my black day,
it's hard to forget
you pierced through my heart
why, you left it to bleed

It's hard to begin
I have to explain
But can't bring myself to
tell you the whole truth

You made my black day
You don't understand
You walk through your life,
and lack feelings for friends

You made my black day
You made my black day

Express your anger, sadness and unhappiness in a song or poem :D This way, it kills two birds with one stone (yi ju liang de [: ). It not only helps your english (by writing songs), it also enables you to have a *TOP SECRET* language/code with yourself! How incredible is that!

2008-01-08T20:57:00.001+08:00

Believe it or not, the reason why I haven't been posting daily is because of school. Yes (the horror!). Whoever thought we'd be busy on the first week of school? (I know everyone is busy too but I'm at least above 'busy average', haha) Well, I would like to make my list of to-dos here, but I'm guessing everyone would be snoring by the time they finish reading. So I'm saving you all that trouble (you're most welcome!) only because I'm so caring, that I'm (indirectly) helping you get that 8 hours minimum, of sleep a day :) (therefore, reading unnecessarily is one cause of those big black rings around your eyes)

Today's just the 5th school day of the year, and gosh, I feel like I've been living there forever. Everything has just slipped back into the usual routine (I actually got used to the getting up early). But I still think it's so cool that we're not sec ones anymore! - which means, we get the second floor classroom and our class doesn't have to sit right in front during assembly (saves us neck cramps!)

Okay, actually I just wanted to drop in and say BOO! so that people won't think I deserted my blog, but I ended up typing out this. I aim to sleep by eleven every night. And in order for that to happen, I'll have to use my precious time wisely :) I guess that means less blogging time :( But but, I could update it often but spend less time each time :D

2008-01-05T19:19:00.000+08:00

Just had english project. Our boards are so pretty, and you can't deny that (: Lisa's J.K. ROWLING looks like those super perfect letters that are pasted on cards to teach kindergarden children the alphabets (: My sister read it, and the first thing she said was: huh? what's teasy and enjoyable?! HAHA! It does look like teasy!

I shall not complain about all the things I have to do, and instead be thankful for the things I don't have to do (: It makes sense, actually..

I will not dwell on the past.
I will not think about the bad.
I shall focus on the goodness.
I shall be optimistic (:

I AM SEC TWO! exciting? let's talk about it

2008-01-02T21:10:00.000+08:00

First Day of Secondary TWO!

Oh, the sweet joy of not being the little juniors. Eh! We're the cool people okay, don't play play.

Also, the bitter unjoyfullness of sec two streaming :O (No play play here either) Well, least there aren't CAs.

So the early part of the morning was spent with Mrs Lee, as she gave us her principal talk. Our theme of the year is Gaining the Knowledge, Living the Experience.

I was looking forward to our new school diary that had stickers! in it :D But they haven't called our class to collect them yet :(

Okay, I'm actually quite happy with (nearly) all our teachers. Our history teacher seems like a good and professional one, our english relief seems really cheerful and a good teacher too, Mrs Wong, I'm very satisfied with for Maths, Mrs Tan A.L., definitely a good science teacher... Yay, I love our teachers (:

Hey, you know what? I think I'm looking forward to school! ..or most of it at least (:

Training tomorrow, I hope I'll be fine! Gosh, there's loads to bring tomorrow (plus my racquet and tumbler).

- I don't have a place, and I blame myself - I screwed it up, and now I have to do it up.

HAPPY NEW oheight YEAR!

2008-01-01T12:56:00.001+08:00

we wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a merry christmassss ...

and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy O8' all! May this year be filled with love, peace, joy and all the good things (:

Whooo, yesterday's nye party was great! Well the exciting part was blackjack but on the whole it was okay (: I lost seven bucks, not that bad. Aunty Sunita lost nearly eighty bucks. Hahaha.

Gosh, I can't believe 2007 is gone. I can't believe I'll be waking up at six tomorrow. I can't believe that in approximately 18 hours, I'll be in school, in our new classroom :O

Well it's a whole new year! Say goodbye to the old, and a big HELLO to the new! I've been clearing up my room the whole morning (eh not quite, seeing as I woke up at 10.30). But still, I feel so good. I threw away tons and tons and tons of junk that I could not bear to throw away before, I'm giving away all my primary school books (finally!), I've been filing up all my stray worksheets and whatever papers, and I still have quite a bit to go. But I'm still real proud of myself for clearing three whole shelves of books and junk! What a great start to the new year!

I have been trying to access lead portal to get the new timetable but it just won't let me >:( Maybe if i had tried on the 29th, I could have got it. But I forgot to. And when I tried yesterday, it said that lead was under an annual maintenance on the 30th and 31st. So okay, I thought, I'd try again the next day. And so today I try, and the stupid thing tells me I can only access lead in school?! Super annoying. I'll have to call up someone and ask them to tell me what stuff to bring tomorrow.

Okay, and since it's a new year, I guess I'll have to make my new year resolution soon, so I'll give it go here (in yellow to represent the bright and happy yay yay yay year O8 is gonna be!)

1. Clear my room and maintain the neatness and tidiness of it all
2. Control my life!
3. Study hard (:
4. Be really organised
5. Plan ahead
6. Be responsible
7. Be a nice and good person (:
8. Love everyone

Okay, that's all I have for now. I'll update when I think of more.

And now, back to major room clearing/cleaning!

MARIA SHARAPOVA LIVE!!

2007-12-30T23:51:00.000+08:00

HEYHEYHEY, EVERYONE! GUESS WHERE VAL JUST CAME FROM?

maria sharpova live exhibition.

WOOHOO! That's what I'm talkin' about, babyy! Gosh, it was soooo cool. Like ever seen the ball go swooshing back and forth in a split-split-split-split-split second? SO SCARY, no kidding.

No, I did not buy a ticket. Jie got it free cause their B Div' won first, and there was extra, so I got one! YAY (: You people are jealous, I know ittt. But don't be, I'll try to show you pictures! Well, except I have no idea how to load them in here. Sorry :(

Anyway, the score was 6-0, 7-6 (11-10) :O :O :O to Sharapova of course. But I wanted Chakvetadze to win (actually I just wanted her to win the second set so that we could stay longer and watch moreee!) Up to now, I still can't pronounce Anna's surname right. Hahaha.

You know right now, I'm still so overwhelmed. I still can't believe I watched sharapova live! Did you know, did you know that ...

a) Chakvetadze was robbed in her own home a few days before she was due to arrive in Singapore?

AND THAT.

b) Sharapova's luggage was missing (I'm thinking some one stole it and is selling it on Ebay for billions this moment), and Nike at wheelock had to open their shop for half an hour for her, just so she could pick out an attire? (And her clothes today were sort of EWW. Her skirt was high and it looked a bit 1970's-ish, and her top was a plain dark purple collared shirt. ARGH, is Singapore's Nike that sad?)

Mann, Anna could have won the second set okay! There were like 3 or 4 matchpoints = 3 or 4 chances for her to level :( But no, she decided to let sharapova beat her up. Oh well, well done Anna Chakvetadze! And I still love you sharapova :D

Today was an incredible day and shimin was a good linesman, shouting so loud! and there were no corrections, hahaha! I really hope sharapova and chakvetadze enjoyed Singapore and come back every year! When will Federer ever comeee? HAHAHA, in my dreams. The cheapest ticket would probably be ten thousand dollars or something, hahaha.

I LOVE TODAY! And tomorrow is new years eve! AHHHH! so scary. a whole new year, a whole new 365 days! WHOOOO, SPOOKAY. So just in case I don't blog in the next 2 days, I'd like to wish y'all a

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

- filled with love, peace, joy happiness, and whatwhat - prosperity and fortune? Haha. Have a fabulous ohEIGHT, everyone!

be my escapee.

2007-12-27T21:31:00.000+08:00

Ooh, just had my shower - in darkness. Yup, literally - dark (well, accept for the candles). One of the bathroom's lights is sort of spoilt - it keeps flickering non-stop, which hurts my eyes. And I can't off that one and turn on the other, cause they're both controlled by the same switch -.- So I had to bathe with candles lighted by the bathtub. Though I can't really see much, I'll admit it is pretty cool to bathe in the dark ;)

Yes, I could have bathed when there was sunlight. But I was out the whole afternoon. Clique outing today! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE! To Escape!! Gosh, it was fun!

So I met Lisakoh at Toa Payoh Hub. Well actually, we met in 105 (not scheduled). The real schedule was to meet at twelve at TPH. But I guess we were both a little late. What good (and exact) timing we have! Hahaha. We lunched at Sakae which cost a lot though we didn't eat pretty much - 35 bucks for the two of us (service charges + GST was 17% in total :O).

We met the others at the platform (and Grace + Kelly were late.. they blamed band, haha). So Grace, Kelly, Natasha, Ping En, Pearlene, Lisa and I set off for City Hall station before changing line to Pasiris.

Finally reached our destination at three (an hour behind schedule). & we only started queuing up for rides at four cause the queues (to enter) were loooonggg (though today's a Thursday). So we got 'warmed up' with the spaceship-shuttle-cup thing, while I quite unsuccessfully told Lisa, Natasha, and Pearlene my (very funny) joke.

Next stop, the Inverter :D:D:D We queued up for one hour, or more? We lost track of time. It looked really scary, and Nut and I were freaked out. In fact, we had half a mind to jump out of the queue and take the less scary rides, but we didn't (thank goodness!). After waiting for what seemed like eternity, we were all pretty restless, having been chatting, constantly sitting down and getting up, chatting, playing the thumb game, chatting, armwrestling, and chatting, it was our turn at last.

We climbed into our seats, Nut and I feeling nervous and uneasy, and sat down reluctantly, awaiting our doom. Much to our surprise, the ride was a blast! It wasn't as scary as Space Mountain! As that gigantic machine made those 360 degree turns, we screamed at the top of our lungs, which made us feel gooddd (: And when it turned upside down, hanging downwards, parallel to the ground, I felt my feet lift off from the floor of my seat and for a moment I thought they were going to fall down due to gravity and hit me square on my face. Thankfully, the safety bars did a good job in preventing that from happening (phew!). I stopped thinking about that, and focused on the upside-down view. It was so cool, I could see the trees and lots of colourful little things. That 5 seconds lasted a pretty long time. Even as I recall the ride, I begin to feel just a teensy bit dizzyish. The Inverter was awesomeee. Thrilling, freaky but fun (: It was the highlight of my day :D

To Lisa: I guess I don't have to kill you. It was indeed worth the wait (:
To Kelly: Maybe I'll give you part of my money in my will; for keeping your promise that Nut and I would live. HAHA :D & I didn't get your joke this afternoon but it made me laugh when no one laughed. Tell me the joke again next time cause I didn't really hear it, haha :D

After that, we took our last ride - some kiddie roller coaster ride, that was still really fun, though not as fun as the inverter of course! The queue was much faster cause it was much shorter, and the ride was pretty short too.

We collected our stuff from the lockers and bought food from BK before Lisa, Pearlene and I cabbed to TPH (Nut and Pinkie took MRT and Kelly and Grace left earlier).

I had a lovely day today, and it's all thanks to you guys! YOU MADE MY DAY!

CHRISTMAS 2007

2007-12-25T12:33:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO

EMMANUEL(God-with-us),

OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST!

Hey, hey, hey everyone! It's THE DAY, the day we've all been waiting for!

I'd just like to say a great, big, ginormous, fantastic, wonderful, delightful, enjoyable, awesome, lovely, spectacular, beautiful

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL :D

Wheeeeee! So, so, so excitingggg... Waiting for the guests to arrive! & I'm coughing cause of all the funny(but yummy)-smelling mixture of all the delicious [FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!]

It's such a pretty day! When I look out of my window at botanicgardens, I see many malay and indian people who are hopefully enjoying this bright, sunny day! Hahaha, guess they aren't Christians.

Last night, we were supposed to go for midnight mass at St. Ignatius. But my sister and I were so against it, cause we wanted to go to our own parish - ST. BERNADETTE!! We were having dinner at crystal jade (Holland V.) at like 10.30, and then I (VERY SMARTLY) went to call up 100 and asked for the st. ignatius number. & guess what? Turned out christmas mass on christmas eve was 8.30pm and 11pm. Yes, so we got our wish! To St. Bernadette's it was :D (thank you, thank you, it's all thanks to mua! kidding..) We were enterntained by the children's caroling and that solo girl was pretty good - the all I want for christmas is you song. Went back home to open christmas presents and finally turned in at three.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Party's over, folks :( Christmas at our place was lovely, though I'm still really used to christmas at Porpor's. The "kids" (most are above 12) were like playing boardgames in my room, while the adults were (I don't know what they were doing, cause we were too caught up in our life) I guess, doing whatever adults do. After our game of life (which was sooooo funnnyyy and jie won >:( whateverr), it was kid's lunch (the adults eat first), and then opening presents timeee (: Pretty much to my satisfaction, I received new brown birks, wallet, women's secret floral bag (I use? haha...), books, vouchers, don't remember what else..

Had dinner downstairs earlier, and am watching CLICK which is really funny and not to mention beyond weird. Hate the part when it all turns out to be a dream, but it's true they couldn't leave it ending so terribly. Whatever it is, the show's real good. Still have Devil Wears Prada <3.

Aww man. I'm so sad, I just saw the cable tv clock; it says 00:00 :( nooooo, christmas is over. Wow, just a mere 365 days to the next christmas. But true enough, despite the fact that that was said in sarcasm, I bet christmas will be here again practically tomorrow, just how it feels like each year. Still, thinking about all this,

WHYWHYWHY? Why must time whizzz past ever so fast? We don't even have the time to remember, to store those happy memories in our heads, before it's all taken away from us, before it's all over! School's starting in a week, and I'm one unhappy kid. I mean, just look at it this way, and maybe you'll understand;

We've been lighting up the pretty-in-purple advent candles at each eucharistic celebration for the past month, looking forward to christmas since - forever, putting up the gorgeous christmas tree, doing christmas shopping, wrapping gifts really beautifully, preparing everything for sooo long! And now, after 24 fun-filled BUT short hours, christmas is gone? Yes, I know there are 12 days of Christmas. But 25 December is officially over! Right now, it's the 26th!

If only Christmas day lasted 9829734089145 hours :) That'd be really wonderful. But it's not, so I'm just moving on, getting over the 'horribleness' of it all, accepting the saddenning fact, that christmas is O.V.E.R. Though thinking about it now, when I feel slightly calmer, I realise what I really don't want to be over was that lovely family gathering, when all of us were together, all happy-happy.

To those who were in good moods before reading this: Sorry I might have destroyed that mood, and left a dark, black, overhanging cloud above your heads.

And to those who were in not-so-great moods: Sorry if I had taken away what little happiness was in you, and it's nice to know there are some who feel the same way.

I MISS CHRISTMAS :(

back from shanghai

2007-12-21T16:12:00.001+08:00

GREETINGS, PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. I AM SO BACK (:

Okay, I shall talk about Shanghai -

Yup, it's winter there now - COLDDDD. brrrr.

& I so need to report this: Shanghai is like ultra dirty. and dusty. All the cars were coated with layers and layers of dust - GROSS :( & the people there kahpui-ed all over the streets. Plus, their roads are so disorganised - cars, motorbikes, bicycles and people, all moving together on the roads. And all these were supposedly much better improved than before. That just makes me wonder how much worse it could have been..

Besides that, I guess there's nothing else bad about the place. All their famous places for tourists to visit were really nice (at least those areas were cleaner) like their gardens and water villages and the Bund.

But whatever. It sure is great to be back in Singapore (: (except it's frickin HOTTAAA :O)

Oh yes. I bought souvenirs for the clique :D (they're all pretty cheena but I was in China so sorry if they're not your kind of thing, hahaha.) And WHAT THE. YOU GUYS ARE GOING SENTOSA TOMORROW?! - I doubt I can go :(:( I got that from Lisa's blog (I read every post I missed (: ) - & speaking of chrismas cards, I'm not done with mine :O

Oh dear. Is it too late to send them?? I'm so dead. Only finished SIX :O Whatever, I'm still sending them. Better late than never right? Whoopsiedoo. I forgot about addresses. Okay, I'd better finish up with my cards FAST.

2007-12-10T22:42:00.000+08:00

It's been quite a hectic day and I know I am exhasted but it's not affecting me much. I have to go to bed in 15 minutes (lest I kill myself in training tomorrow) but then again, I know that is pretty unlikely to happen.

I woke up in the morning and helped my sister paint her toenails, and then painted my own.
Left the house at 12.30 for school, with my sister accompanying me, where I collected Flowers for Algernon from the bookshop, and then walked to Toa Payoh Hub.
Had a very snappy Subway sandwich before I had to leave my sister and go back to school.
Was walking awfully fast (and I know all that meatball sandwich was jumping around in my stomach). Finally reached the fourth floor of the science block and entered the computer lab, only fifteen minutes late.
We watched the 5-minute video and then tried starting on something (in vain). Tsi Yuan ended up showing us weird youtube videos like the Thai Cheers adverts and the bangla singing In The End.
Walked to the interchange with Crystal and took two buses to Balmoral Plaza for chinese tuition. Finished up that zuo wen with Wei Chi (:
Got back home and watched tv, had dinner. & now mum and dad are back home!

Another busy day ahead. Still have yet to pack for Shanghai, but it's so difficult to, only because I don't really want to go there. And by the time I get back, it'll be Christmas. And it will be the beginning of another school year.

OH! A rather scary thing happened today - I nearly lost my phone :O And very coincidentally, my sister just lost hers yesterday at that Japanese restaurant. & so I was thinking how we would both be in such deep, deep poop when mum and dad came back. But really thankfully(xie tian, xie di), I had left it at the lab and Ms Nee had kept it for me. PHEWW.

You pretended you didn't see.

2007-12-09T19:16:00.000+08:00

i am not in a very blogging mood now.
i shall keep this one really simplified.
i shall type in randomly whatever comes to my mind.
i love porpor forever & ever.
i need to find my place in this world.
i feel like weaving.
i am trying to make myself look forward to shanghai.
i can't wait for christmas.
i don't like the weather now.
i hope jiejie recovers soon.
i realise i am in a thinking-about-thinking mood...
ooh! i just realised i started every line with an 'i'
AHH. except that one, and this one!
i am making myself weird.
i wish for peace and love especially in the season of christmas.

i am sorry if the colours annoyed you.
i just felt like brightening this boring post.

THE JOY. Come, sing, rejoice with me!

Val's done with math homeworkeee (: Finally. One of the lasts to complete it but heck, what matters is that it's done and I can probably put it away till the end of the holidays (except I got like four questions wrong :O - I think it's the answers..) & I used only 9 sheets of fullscap! (considering I squeezed & squashed my working, but it's still pretty neat anyhow!)

Though it's such a depressing day (not me, it's the weather), I am unusually free, floating, joyous HAPPY (: I guess it's the feeling-accomplished sort of happy, which often disappears as quick as it comes. LIKE ZAP! & now, I feel the happiness slurped out of me, zipped-zapped and a POOF! --- gone. Hah, oh well. I guess I shall have to think of more self-satisfying jobs to do to get that wondrous feeling back in me (;

Oh yes, one more accomplishment, though not as big as math - completed book: Warriors - Starlight, my love. What a great ending.. Mudclaw - DEAD! & what's more, he didn't die as a loyal warrior, fighting to his death to protect his clan. Oh no, he died more spectacularly in fact - struck by lightning (indirectly). I never liked him - that rude, ignorant, power-thirsty brat of a cat >:( & wow, I never thought Leafpool + Crowfeather clicked a bit! Who would have guessed. Such a pity, pity, pity - Leafpool being a medicine cat (can't get into that sort of relationship) & an excellent one, too.

Okay now, on to Warriors: Twilight. & I'd better get Sunset quick. Can't wait for the new series! the Power of Three :D

2007-12-03T11:18:00.000+08:00

Wow val, it's been ages since you last posted but whatever. I'm posting now, aren't I? Okay, stop talking to yourself! Gah, I really have to stop talking to myself. I bet if Pinky were reading this now, she would hammmer me (cause I talked to myself too much in Perth already). Anyway, I'm currently listening to this song on 98.7 and I promise, promise, promise I hear that lady singing: won't you come over, Valerayayayay, Valerayyy (over and over again) - like that's the chorus. Boy, it's such a catchy song and she keeps saying my name :D:D Okay rewindd a littleee...

So I came back on thursday. & Mum and Dad and Jie were there waiting for me at the arrivals (: Had dinner at Delifrance & then home. Aunty Margaret & Uncle David visited us that night before returning to Melbourne & we had another dinner - home-made fried rice - the stickyish way I love (:

Friday was chinese tuitionn for really longg & Dad picked me up to go to toapayoh, where Grace was going to pass me my band concert ticket. & after I collected my ticket and we were on the way home, Dad asked why I had bought the band ticket before telling him, which stunned me a little & for that moment, I thought Dad was pissed at me for not asking permission first. Instead, he asked whether I could get any more tickets. Wah, so phewww. & I had to call Grace to ask if she knew anyone with more tickets. So we got 3 more tickets (:

Stayed home the whole Saturday afternoon, where I started Math homework - very slow, I know (that totally rhymes!) Mum wanted to visit Porpor before going for the concert & Dad was taking a nap. So we (Mum, Jie and I) took a cab to Porpor's place.
Dad picked us up from there at 7 and we went to school for the band concert. IJ main band was awesome! I was smsing Lisa and we agreed to meet during the intermission. So later on, we all sat together (Peiqi, Melissa, Lisa and I). The junior band did a great job too and I recognised like half of the junior band - cheryl, kelly, beatrice, grace, chienwen, chinyen, grace a, kimberly... We were so boiling in the heat and Lisa and Peiqi kept passing Lisa's jacket back and forth. & Melissa and Lisa were constantly passing messages to each other through me (when they could already hear each other well enough). Lisa did not have enough uh, emotion, according to Melissa. hahaha. What idoits :D HAHA & Melissa missed me and my singing awww. All in all, the concert was a blasttt. Well done both IJ BAND & St. Margs band :D

Went for 11am mass on Sunday. Had lunch at Great World. I shall not talk about the old man with the pram HMPHH >:( Went home, where Godma & Godpa were dropping Porpor off. We drove to CentrePoint with Porpor cause she wanted to shop with Mum. Had dinner with Porpor and Gonggong (Chilli Crab was good and HOT!) & I ate too much.

This morning, Dad left for Clang (spl?) Sad :( & Mum'll be going to KL on saturday morning :( & when they come back on monday, we'll have to get ready for Shanghai :(:(:( on wednesday. Not quite looking forward to Shanghai - it's CHINA! & have I not mentioned, Shanghai for TEN days? AND it's winterrr (minus degrees to 12 degrees I think). Not only that, it's so cold and there's not even going to be snoww :(:( Like what's the point of winter if there's no snow?! Wish me luck. Chinese tuition later. Awman, no one to fetch me :( Why am such a poor, depressing child? :(

Home alone on a gloomy monday.

Can't stand it! Someone come comfort my poor lonely and depressed soul.

AEP Perth Trip 24 - 29 NOV '07

2007-11-30T11:07:00.000+08:00

Day 1

Flight (to Perth, Australia)

I sat one seat away from the window seat, next to a Sec 2, Caroline. Lunch was quite horrible - some lemony pasta that everyone was too disgusted to finish. I manged to finish watching two movies (only) - Shrek 3 and The Simpsons Movie. The Simpsons Movie was really funny and Shrek 3 was not quite to my liking. As we were descending, the plane kept making really weird lurches and lunges. Every lurch was like a sudden dip downwards that made me feel like my seat was going down faster than my butt could follow. And each time it lurched, all the AEPers were like WHOOOOOO! Hahahaha, it was so funny :D Plus, that plane ride was the first for some girls, and they were pretty terrified.

Raeburns Orchard

After we touched down, collected our luggage and so on, we got on board our coach and was warmly greeted by our friendly tour guide/driver, Trevor. We travelled for nearly an hour to Raeburns Orchard, where we purchased fruits, jams, chocolates and gummies.

70 Pier Street, Aarons Hotel

We settled down in our rooms. The room Pinky, Nisha and I shared was room 212. It was not a very big room but it was comfy (: Later on, we walked to an Indonesian restaurant where we had dinner. & then it was back to our rooms for the night. (the aircon was really, really colddd.)

Day 2

Breakfast

We had breakfast at the cafe in our hotel. It was a huge breakfast though not very appetising but satisfactory - toast bread with jam, honey, and butter that was self-service, as well as two poached eggs, two hashbrowns, ham and bacon which was extremely oily and only the hashbrown was fine. & we were told we would be having that as breakfast each day :O

Fremantle

We visited Monument Hill where we took many pictures and camwhored a lot, Cappuccino Strip which is a street that got its name as all the coffee houses on that street set up tables and chairs along the pavements, Fremantle Markets where we shopped for two hours and the Round House which used to be a prison and was built by ex-convicts. Before visiting the Round House, we had a really excellent Fish & Chips lunch - so crispy and succulent (oily) but still, yumyum (:

Okay, you know what? I'm starting to get a little lazy elaborating on everything. Maybe if I feel like it one day, I'll talk about the rest of this most wonderful trip in detail (: Sorry to disappoint you, faithful readers (if I have any), hahaha (:

PICA (Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts)

AWESOME Art Festival

Chinese Dinner

We drank soooo much water only because we wanted to see who the waitors would listen (to our calls to refill our empty jugs) & laughter during dinner was way too contagious.

Day 3

Kings Park Treetop Walk

UWA (University of Western Australia) - Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery

Chinese Lunch Supermarket

W.A. Art Gallery

Mundaring Art Centre

Day 4

Curtin University workshop Weaving & Felting Welcome Lunch

Dinner oleh oleh supper @ subway

Supermarket - Kinder Bueno & I sneezed on Mrs Zailee (accidentally of course) hahahaha.

Day 5

Curtin University workshop Fabric Print & Embroidery Visit to John Curtin Art Gallery evolution videos

indonesian dinner

Day 6

Caversham Wildlife Park - Kangaroos (JENA!), Koalas & Wombats (BIG BABY!) were too adorable to bear!

Flight (to Singapore) great food! (unlike the flight going there) watched Nancy Drew & episodes and episodes of Simpsons which were funnny!

there's nowhere sweeter than HOME (:

valerie is back from perth

2007-11-29T22:40:00.000+08:00

I just returned to Singapore from Perth this evening and am dead beat. Don't even ask me why I'm still up. I have been catching up on everyone's blogs and my eyes are all droopy :( I miss Perth already, though I am pretty sure I'll be back there really soon.

I've got Chinese tuition tomorrow for two hours during the lunch period - what odd timing, when is lunch? That means, I won't be able to wake up at twelve tomorrow :( Well, at least there ain't no training tomorrow. & after tuition I'll be meeting Grace at Toa Payoh Central so that I can collect my band tickets :D And that means I'll have to squeeze in lunch on the way to Toa Payoh.

& I am definitely too sleepy to do a recount of my awesome AEP trip. So that'll be tomorrow (:

Enchanted!

2007-11-22T19:44:00.000+08:00

Today's events are as follows (quite uneventful, but whatever): raining

Training

Okay, I guess training was okay... Spent most of it learning dropshot - which up to now, I still cannot do backhand dropshot :( at least I can do forehand (: I just learnt that all this while, my backhand volley's been WRONG :O oh no, oh no! I think I swing my racquet too back or something... Okay training was not thattt bad, considering we didn't have too much physical :) & coach let us off 15 minutes early! (incredible!)

& we were bugged (literally) in training

What bugged us this morning was the BUG ATTACK. Bees, moths, mosquitoes, fleas, ants, whatever bug: You name it, We saw it. During waterbreak, we were slapping our thighs and arms, and stamping on bugs (EW!). & while we were lining up for our drills, we were moving our feet so much, and we looked so on the go mann, when in fact, we were trying to keep those mozzies away. Yes, we were still getting bitten despite those layers of insect repellant on our skin that Ms Chua made us put :(

First row seats not necessarily = neck cramp

Nicole & I had lunch at botanic foodcourt & then went up to my house to bathe. & that's where nicole's hair got stuck in the hairbrush and she was yanking it off her scalp :O but she's fine now, no worries (: And when we checked the seats, the whole cinema was practically booked up except for some seats in the first 3 rows from the screen. & in the end, we ended up getting first row seats, which weren't as bad as I thought they'd be, cause there was a nice seat to lean your head on (;

FreeOfCharge chessy hotdogg!

We were actually on time for the movie! Wow. & it was so cool, we got something from the scratch & win thing. Like I have never won anything at all, usually the: Sorry, you have not won any prize, thank you for participating... But this time it said: you have a *FREE* cheesy hotdog! I thought it was so cool, although it was only a $2 thing :D & we shared it (:

Enchanted

AHHHH. ENCHANTED WAS WONNDERRRFULLL :D:D It's ultra funnnyyy (: especially with Nicole sitting next to you :D she laughed at eveyrthing. Even the not-really-funny parts. HAHAHA, but it was comical. I CAN'T stand that touch of your lips first kiss whatever song. Though, it made everyone laugh, it was driving me nutss. HAHA. & the part when Robert and Giselle were in the park & she started singing her song, and everyone in the park joined in too, and it was like a huge parade! GOSH, and she kept cutting up all the curtains in Robert's house to make her pretty dresses! It was an excellent movie, though not as entertaining as Stardust (:

We possibly got cheated...

I was walking Nicole to the mrt station & then there was this guy who made us donate like ten bucks for some job application whatever thing. SO ANNOYING. & then there was this other lady who asked us to buy her $2 pen. GAH. So we fled to the mrt real quickly. & I finally got Warriors Starlight :D:D plusplus warriors twilight! yay.

enchanted again?

Got home & watched like nearly four hours of tv. haha, can't believe myself. ANDAND, the 7pm show is really nice :D Okay, I think I'll be watching Enchanted with my mom again, tomorrow. Haha, but I don't mind watching it again, yay (: Oh, if the holidays could slow down ...

So organised :D

Wow, reading this entire post, I feel so good about myself, cause it looks so organised - quite well paragraphed with headings for each one (:

2007-11-20T16:24:00.001+08:00

Yes! I have plans for the week! Woohoo! It's about time I started really enjoying the holidays! Haha.

Yup, Nicole & I are planning to watch Enchanted! on thursday after training. Going over to my house, bathe & lunch. Then we'll head down to orchard (probably Lido again, or maybe Plaza Sing.) We were trying to check the timings earlier but it's like not shown yet :( It only shows the timings for Wednesday's sneaks.

Gah! I'm having doubts though, about being able to go in the first place. I watched the Beemovie on Saturday & Stardust yesterday. That makes two movies so far, in three days. So if I watch another on thursday, that'd be three movies in six days, which is a little too much :( Okay, in that case, I shall do more words & math, and maybe read my new textbooks? Oh, and pack my luggage. So perhaps there'd be nothing that would keep Dad from saying no :D Goodgoodgood, I feel better now (:

Oh, I think we'll be celebrating Jie's birthday on Friday - dinner, since I'll be going on her birthday, early in the morining. Haha, she was complaining how it was her birthday, and she had to wake up earlyy (to send me off at 7).

&& I started packing last night! Ooh, I love packing :D You have to organise everything and you get to tick a checklist for "to-brings". I love ticking checklists! Come to think of it, I love being organised, though my room tells you I most certainly am not. But anyway, this is all too exciting! (Oopsie... I was supposed to wait for Cheryl before packing but I couldn't resist!)

Nicole Lum, has very helpfully changed my credits to 'The Pooper' and my profile to 'The Sexy Mama'. I would change it right this second, but on second thought, I'd better not - she won't be happy, and I can't afford to make her unhappy after all she's done for me (:

Okay, believe it or not, I'm playing Neopets. Yes, neopets. Goodbye Sims2 and HELLO neopets! Okay, NO! scrape that. I still love Sims2 more. I'm just playing neopets for a change. Okay, I'm just reassuring myself that I'm not one of those people who have turned back to neopets out of desperation. No, I'm not one of them, I refuse! (Sorry Pinkie, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you all my np now :( You got me into THISS!)

Okay, some Bouncy Supreme & then perhaps Icecream Machine? Yay.

toOdles!

STARDUST

2007-11-19T16:46:00.000+08:00

Started off the day really late - waking up at a quarter to twelve! Jie & I decided to watch Stardust! (a must see, if you haven't watched it already) at Lido before she had to go for tuition. We were getting pretty late, so Dad offered to send us there (:

We had way way too much popcorn - didn't even finish half of it! (I did say we should have gotten Combo 1!). But the movie was awesome anyway!

[***CAUTION*** There are some parts about the movie below. So if you have not watched Stardust, you may wish to continue reading after the orange section]

Michelle Pfeiffer was ever so cool ;) It was impressive how she could keep becoming older and younger - how her skin wrinkled up like rotten vegetables and a million age spots popped up all over her arms & how her boobs drooped all too suddenly when she used magic. Hahaha!

Captain Shakespeare was funnyyy as well, when he started playing dress-up with all those pink feathery sashes and white, frilly dresses, while his crew was out on the deck fighting, sillyy.

& Yvaine kept glowing when she was with Tristan (awww!).

It was pretty weird how that witch's servant turned out to be not only Una, the princes' long, lost sister, but also Tristan's mother!

The ending was so 'happily ever after' but I liked it to end Cliché, hehe (: I really can't imagine that entire movie put down in words as a book!

After the movie, we took the underpass to Wheelock. I went to Borders like finally. & guess what - Starlight (Warriors: Book 4, second series) was not even in stock! GAHH ><
Yay, but Mum says she'll go with me to Times @ Centrepoint later to get the book, after work (:

Yes, and not forgetting: a big, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy - get on with itt -

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHERYL LIM XY!!

one of the last to turn thirteen, but still, FINALLY :D You see, I remembered! I think I shall get your birthday present from Perth! & you can choose (:

Okay, I shall start getting ready to pack ...

Welcome back, Jie!

2007-11-18T23:17:00.000+08:00

Julia Thong Wen May has been MIA for three days and two nights and has finally returned home (from Confirmation Camp). A nice, warm welcome home, Jie! & I did miss you.

Yesyesyes!!! Mum bought that nice nike sweater for mee today at Great World (: YAY. Thank you, thank you, Mum! It's so nice and orangey and nice and soft and nice and warm (and nice) ;D

Dad, Mum, Jie and I went to Funan after lunch to replace that bonkus computer in Jie's room. It'll be delivered on Tuesday, together with that totally unnecessary printer. & that means I'll get the laptop all to my self (as it was supposed to be!) Hahaha.

We were going straight over to Porpor's house, and Dad could watch his Masters Cup Finals there, but Jie said she wanted to go home and sleep. So Dad sent Jie back home, and Mum and I figured we'd be late if we went back home with them. That's why we decided to take a 166 to Porpor's place instead.

& all was just fine ... until it started raining like bananas and watermelons. And Mum and I were thinking: Why didn't we take a cabb?! But it was too late, and we had no other choice.

The rain didn't get any lighter as we alighted at Upper Thomson. There were rollings and bolts of thunder and lightning, which, by the way, were scarrryy :0 And we were (very sad to say) stranded on the bus stop. All we had to do, was cross the road, and we'd be pretty safe already. But each time we wanted to cross at the green man, there'd be this flash of lightning, and we'd change our minds and stay put.

Well, we got kind of... impatient. The rain got a teeny, tiny bit lighter. The moment the green man came on, Mum and I made a dash across the road - Mum holding the Times plastic bag over her head, and me holding my uh, hand over my head.

We dried off at Porpor's house & watched the finals. Not very surprisingly, Federer won David Ferrer easily, with a 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 win. Federer recieved that $1.2 million, plus a really sleek Mercedes, sponsored by (of course) Mercedes. & it was so strange, how this Chinese guy translated the English stuff in Chinese and vice versa.

We had dinner + watched some tv together, and then went back home. I guess today was pretty good, though not very eventful. Not-so-good: I didn't get to go to Borders for the third day in a row. HMPH! Good: I got that pretty, pretty, prettyyy nike jackett ;D

So tomorrow, I plan to start planning our (Cheryl & I) plans for Perth trip. Hehehe. Cheryl & I are supposed to pack togetherr, so that nothing goes wrong in our packing... hahaha. Looking forward to Perth, though I'm rather sick of it... but this time, it's with friends!! - totally different (if you get what I mean... hahaha)

2007-11-17T18:11:00.000+08:00

RGP Carnival Day! It was completely different from the previous years - in a good way. There were all these Ezone games like the car game! and the air hockey game!! and that inflated jumpy thing, and the colourful ball room (like the one Ikea used to have). So unfair. Our cip fair was nothing like that, hmph :( All the excitementt :D

So I met up with Annette and Beverly (: Yay, missed you Bev!! (I see you every training, Ann ;D) Bought coupons and tokens (for the games) from Ms Ong, then went to look for Mdm Tng & Mrs Lim. They were both impressed by Bev's "hip & cool" accessories. Hahaha. (Bev was always hip (;)

I lovelovelove air hockeyy! We were like the pro-est, haha, compared to the littler ones. And it was so so short, just the right height for Annette (kidding!). We hung around at the playground enjoying our cool rootbeer floats (little did we know there was a $3 entry fee to the playground. well no one saw us, i think.. haha)

Had some Korean lunch (all three of us sharing that one miserable plate). Changed out of our warm, black class tees, and took a really long time to decide whether to go Bev's house/my house/town. In the end, we finally agreed to take 174 to my place first, and then to town.

Gah, we waited a terribly long time for the bus to come, and when it came, it was WAH! so full. I can't stand all the pushing and shoving and 'excu me! excu me!' from the typical kiasu singaporeans in the bus. It was such a relief to get out! We walked over to Botanic food court and had yummy cheese & mushroom prata (so satisfying!) with curry, of course. Then, over to my house. We decided to catch the 3.05pm Bee Movie at Cineleisure. We were going to book our tickets online but Ann claimed we could get student price tickets.

We took 174 again, and it was really full AGAIN :( Crikey! we were so late already, and dear Ann and Bev were still la-di-dar-di-dar, walking. I was so huangzhang and they just said "Val, it's okay. See, we're so calm!" Hahaha. (Calm meant late..)

We took the lift to level 4 and were lining up (the queue was longg) to buy tickets and food. & when it finally reached our turn, the lady told us there were no student tickets; just the $9.50 one. We looked at our tickets: Level 6.

So we took the escalator up and were walking round and round (all of us were anxious now, we were half an hour late already :0) Where were the theatres?! We approached this guy who worked there and showed him our tickets. And he said "Oh, this one level 6. Must go up one level." And we were thinking "Level 6?! Aren't we on Level 6?" Then, we smart people realised we had only taken one escalator up, and were at Level 5 -.- You must be thinking How stupid can we gett?

Reaching Level 6, we took out our tickets: Theatre 3. We rushed to theatre 3, and not surprisingly, the movie had started. Once again, we fished for our tickets to see what seats we were sitting at. It was all dark but Ann managed to read the faintly printed: K - 20, 21, 22. We followed Ann down the aisle and realised that we were on the other side of row K -.- So we had to walk all the way back and were so distracting (bet everyone wanted to throw popcorn at us).

We finally settled down in our seats. & I just couldn't believe we had to look at our tickets three times before we could get to our seats.

It doesn't pay to be so calm!

Yes, although we were sooo late for the movie, we still had a great time without doubt, like we always do (: We took neos, which turned out disastrously, as we were so unconscious of the time & I didn't finish writing :( Then, we had tea at Subway, before leaving.

Thanks Ann & Bev for this lovely day (: It was well worth spent with you guys (though we would have had plenty more fun if Po and Son had joined us. GAH! Po's family meeting? & Son's 1.30 - 6.30 tuition?! <-- she had got to be kidding.)

& Great, big Spankyou to NicLummie for helping me get a song for my blog (: Craig David forever! And Spanks for putting a chatbox and helping me change all the headings (though I still haven't learnt how to do all this by myself, since you helped me do it all!)

I thought we were close at heart;
but it seems we're miles apart.

Hello I'm Lisa here :D Heehee I just helped Valerie Thongalongalong do up her blogskin so I decided to drop by and say hi :)

Hi! :D

Okay Vallo Jello you listen to me ahzzzz, go to TEMPLATE, and look for the part where it says ALL ABOUT ME. Then under there's "Write more about yourself here :)", you can replace this with information about yourself ;) Like your interests and hobbies and school and cca and wtv. Orrrrr, the things you like, LIKE ME! :D Teehee. Or you just write one line -I love Lisa Koh and end it there. Hoho. Okay kidding. Yes, then for your LINKS, in the blogname.blogspot.com part, you replace blogname with the blog url of whoever you want to link, and you put the person who want to link's name in the NAME part :) If you have any other questions...

CALL ME BEEP ME, IF YOU WANNA REACH ME
:D

Hahahaha! Okay okay I'll go now -.- You go girl! Have a happy period! HAHAHAHA ZOMG I'M SO FUNNY I CAN'T STAND MYSELF. Joke joke.

XOXO
LISA WAS HERE :D

New blogskin!

Whooo! Big thank you to Nic Lummie (for helping me find my perfect blogskin :D) and Lisa (for helping me put the blogskin :) and teaching me to link, though I still don't get it)!

Yes, so training today. I guess it was okay - way better than tuesday's, at least. The last physical part - the touch net back paddle & hop, hop, hop sprint thing was funner and better than tuesday's one, haha :)

Rushed back home to shower and grabbed some lunch, and then chinese tuition. I was in quite a bad mood, and lao shi noticed :0 It (my horrible mood) only disappeared when we started talking about pets, especially dogs. And lao shi was so shocked :0 She kept turning her head back and forth to each of us, and putting her hand over her mouth (which was gaping open), and saying "zhen de ah?" Nicole was telling lao shi how female dogs have their period too, and that they wear diapers when they have their period. And lao shi was all, "Har?! Then what about all those stray cats and dogs?" - meaning wouldn't there be blood and stuff all over the void decks of HDBs. Hahaha, lao shi, you really make me laugh :D

new blog (:

Okay, so first things first, I have to thank Lisa & Kelly for giving me inspiration. Yeah, cause if not for you two, I would not have created this blog (: I dedicated my entire afternoon today, to reading your blogs, and am proud to say, I finished reading them! Woohoo, I feel oh so accomplished :D (yes, that's how bored I am at home)

Anyway, I'm trying to get a nice blogskin (and I don't know how), Lisa is supposed to teach me about this blogging stuff, cause I am one lost sheep with this thing. However, she is busy at the moment, patching up a relationship..

I am currently hooked on Warriors - The New Prophecy :) love itt! Okay shoot, it's already 11.30. EKK. I'm waking up at seven for training tomorrow!! Nooooo. That's less than eight hours of beauty sleep. And after that is chinese tuition :( Okay, I'm off to bed now.
