"Ur born on the Emperors' shoulder!" - mum

Very surprised about something mum mentioned weeks ago... n i've been keeping it in mind. Through daily life and observations, jus wanna see if its true.

Back in Indo during the Holidaes, mum read an article on the papers, saw this intersting article on some fortune telling based on birth dates n time... then see which category are u in... Anyway, 1 day, she told me to take care, do more charity work coz she see me under the category of the emperors' ankle... thats like the lowest and worst? Highest being the head. The bad thing is followed by the elaboration. Being born at the ankle: work hard all ur life, must live and work far away from home, will marry twice and only had better life at old age... Wah, was abit affected although dun really believe it. The part on work hard all my life is like so... sad then marry twice, i wouldn't wan that too! So after that, jus ban xin ban yi. Then my mum jus sae do more charity work jus in case. Then during jan to feb i keep using this excuse to tell dad abt letting me drop JC then go overseas coz i'm supposed to work far from home!

Anyway, jus near cny wen mum brought up this topic to the aunts... she suddenly felt the need to recheck my birthcert... So, there she goes... went to check... the final result is... Not that bad! Her mistake! I'm born on the shoulder! Thats probly like the 2nd best! Song bo! LOL! She dug out that article again then read the description to me... wealthy throughout your life, good life from middle age onwards, filial decendents, feng yi zhu shi and have received help from frens n siblings! ALL Positive! Come to think of it... its so very true? i've nv actually frown over food or clothes... wealth so so and my bro cared alot for me even though he doesnt show it much. Since its so far from ankle, no need to seperate from family! No need to bia like mad! And... Happy family i shall hav, one happy and lasting marriage foreva!

Somehow I felt like believing in this fortune telling thing coz its telling gd stuffs abt my future :P Its becoming a confidence booster for me as it just keeps reminding me that 'My 'ming' is set to be quite positive and its up to myself to strive for it!' It's actually not gd to believe too much on these kinda fortune telling stuff budden y not use it as an encouragement... like u wanna work harder and not givin up so that u can achieve wad is predicted. So Fight-to-OH! Work for the gd future that awaits me!

End of term still so busy...

Its 2nd last week till end of term 1 budden still so many things to do lah!

1) MC Camp, proposal must finalize, then needa brief, then needa prepare everything coz the camp's in a weeks time!!! Haven even tried out any games, budget n item list haven plan... Zomg la, so many tings to do over the weekends. I WAN THE CAMP SUCCESSFUL!!!

2) My studies getting crappierly lousy... all the recent test, only manage to do 50%. Maths and chem, screwed! Tml's chem spa, i dun care, mus bia! Barely hav the time to do revision coz all apend on hw and sch activities. GP CA comin up yet i dun hav anytime to do something abt it! What on earth m i doin!

3) China trip presentation... come so sudden la! for the past few weeks, we didnt even rehearse or anything, then suddenly this week mrs wee wanna see us for rehearsal! Luckily its informal, or else i doomed liao. Today present to her n the others... quite ok, jus some erh... and hmm... here n there. Content wise nth much to change jus that cant say funny things la, coz some people might misunderstood n feel offended. Mrs Wee so busy, hardly got time to prepare us, so cannot dissapoint her!

So far these are the main stuffs thats clogging up the week. Every morning hav to wake up betwn 4-5am to rush work n revise... sorry mum for dragging u into these, u can continue to slp actually, no need to attend to me! Mum's so worried for me, givin me tonics, vitatmin c then also Chicken essence coz scared i doze off in sch. Then also prepare all the things i need, leave me out from helping her with housework. Then since i'm sick for so many days, she's quite stressed too... preparing this n that (the tonic drink sux!)

Anyway, i think i've to do my part too, no more complains. thats recovering to the usual self then finish up my work n b the mugger that i've nv become since O's. Went to swim ytd then to steam room to train... hopefully can lose some mass, but risky coz its yi du gong du, make my headache worst. well, its an attempt to recover! Hw so far finishing those thats due but GDI, its piling up again! Wads wrong with the sch man! near common test liao, still giv so much hw, wan us to revise still giv... even if the hw helps in revision, should also consider the amt wad! Its as if we take only 1 subj...

Zzz... So its work work again, hopefully got more time since Stopped piano completely on 26 Feb liao! Hope to see Doreen again in June!

PJC02'08, me doin duty

Silence before the storm

Its War~~~!!!

Very very steady de Delta! I like!

Good job Zhilun and dance ic's for passing on the DANCES

Orientation 2 starts on weds, i'm not from sc nor an ogl... only a photographer 'hired' to go take some random photos for them. Weds didnt do anything much, coz got china people, hosting em. Thursdae, taking photos for the whole afternoon. Walking arnd with the cam, snap here and ther, from field to canteen, canteen to hall, hall to parade sq, then back to field again... go like 3 rounds la. I think the J1s somehow know me as the cameraman liao la! Later on at arnd 3+ or 4... sibei sian liao, coz doin repitative rounds, the J1s were either playing station games or learning dances. So... went back to mc room, plan to do hw de, budden oops, fell asleep on the comp desk for like 1hr. Woke up, its 5, jus time for war games!!! Waiting for this, finished then go home.

Very similar to 2007 O2 the war games. water bombs flying arnd then j1s running abt. Before that when the people gathered, walked arnd on the field to take pics of the crowd and some interesting peeps. Used long lense coz 1st scared tio water so must shoot from far, 2nd wanna capture moments without some baka people purposely siam away... Always hate those who insisted on covering their faces or like die die mus siam de lo... help u take photo, y so scared. War starts, zhaoed to the steps of course, or else get wet.

Actually the main thing to tink abt is that photography is getting more interesting. Bcoz haha, very special feeling some1 will sae thanks to u wen u help em take pics. Received quite a number of thanks n feeling quite happy. Then another ting is that, wen u aim ur cam at those people who r willing to hav their photos taken, they will giv those lovely smiles that is hardly seen. And, even for those who didnt pose for u, u can jus capture the moments wen they're carefree, lively and while at play. Nice nice la! Somehow, taking pictures' getting more fun, whether taking pics or being taken, very enjoyable!

Bye to friends from China!!!

Eat, Makan, chi, mummum

KK's buddy, ChaoWei

Me & Moi Buddy

Love & Peace

Since I'm abit high this day, will play this song by HAMC, one of all time fav

The week's busy with hosting of students from China, the high sch I went to visit the last Dec break in 2007. Seeing my buddy again! My feeling was: omg! so not prepared to host him. Then wen heard its only 3 days, the feeling was: WAH! so little days, how to make him feel welcomed and blabla...

Anyway, 1st 2 days, we had school immersion stuffs, attending lessons together and for them, some talks and activities. Its just like what we did we we're in Beijing. Well... nth to comment for the 2 days, lessons? He jus listened and we talked abt some random crap, then we go hahaha!

Things worth mentioning is the last few hours they're in sch on the 3rd day. Since its the last day, there's this talk from the principal, then, mass lunch and some free time. During the talk in the Arcadia, damn paiseh la, coz supposed to take pics in the room, then i stumbled while rushing over to the front to take pics. Make some noise and every1 jus starred at me! Aiyah... felt so bad coz 1stly its my wrong to let the 'models' wait and being unprepared. 2ndly, I attract so much unecessary attention when cameraman is supposed to be the covet person. Mdm Kong even asked for my name, freak me out!

Later on got lunch, went to join Nadiah and her buddy for lunch, my buddy's table full liao. Nice meeting em, coz her buddy (trying to rmb the name,will update asap) kept trying to speak english to us... duh, for the sake of Nadiah. Anyway they also very high, with the rest of the people in that table. Makan makan then took some pics :D

After lunch, attended assembly, cannot really concentrate on the speakers coz its hot and stuffy and... the ppt is so badly designed? few hundred minutes spent on the ppt that can barely attract pples attention, so many words! At arnd 1.30pm+, we all went out as a grp, bringing our China buddies to Lot1. I didnt bring mine! coz he sae he wanna go play bball, then he had to stick arnd with Tze wei (sorry dude, mafan u take care of my buddy!) Anyway,I oso need to go lot1 get present for Jin, went with Tangwah to Watsons to get... condoms, lol, for Jin, so wanna see his face wen he open the present box! After shopping for some other random stuffs, went to meet the China dudes at the foodcourt. They were eating prata and some local delights. Anyway, while we were talking, i showed them the condom me n bro bought and i said its for bday present... The 2 ladies jus go LMAO and they were not awkward at all la! They even sae they bought lubricating oil for a guy's birthday back in Beijing! Then Kahkian also managed to trick his salted fish buddy (ChaoWei) that the pack of condom is sweet... LOL! He actually believed la and put it in his pocket (accepting the gift?) In the end tell him then he abit shy shy... Later on got 1 guy oso tio... ROLF, innocent teens. With exception of 1 guy, he knew wad issit by jus holding the box for 3 secs, according to ZhiXiang he very flurt de... thats y.

After makan, talk for awhile more then we chiong back to sch liao, actually still wanna go neoprint de budden no time. This means goodbye... Awww~~~ I dun wan~~~ wen we reached sch, every1 was gathering in the concourse area, taking pics, chatting, saying gd bye n stuffs. Sad sad scene. I talked with my buddy for the last 30mins, jus entertaining him... he himself abit passive actually, so didnt get very engaged in convos, I m the 1 alwes talking -.- While sending em off, we actually planned to make it a dramatic farewell, haha, chase bus! In the end no 1 do, i hold cam so cannot run.

So... Byebye to buddies from Beijing! we'll miss u! Hope to see ya'll again!

Eve

After sch in the afternoon, got pulled over to westmall to do last minute shopping with mom n dad (suppose to hav class lunch, so paiseh psed em). Then very soon, set off at like 3+pm reaching jus in time for reunion dinner. Meat! Meat! Nothing really grand like shark's fin or abalone, budden its jus a special feeling eating with the family. Lots of us gathered in that Kampong house. Hoshus at the living room, the older gens at the kitchen n outside chatting. Bro fixed the router and tadah! Internet access for every lappy owners in da house! Its called Wireless@Pagoh... lol, sound so...starhub.

Later that nite, waited for countdown, it was after dinner, all chiong fireworks and sparkle stuffs! DAMN fun la! Even Ten & Pu played, lit one of the yan huas. Then we teens all play the 1 that shoots up then go boom de! We tried launching it from inside of a long pipe then also a double rocket, Song bo la!!! Ian kor bought the retarded 8 bucks 1... thought is gonna b super cool, budden so sian la: SCAMMED! Before 12am, dad also dragged me all the way to muar the guanyin temple to pray, coz got this thing fan tai shui... for all the horses, so its advised to go pray for a smooth year. No objections, jus go lo, play safe.

Its 12am! Happy New Year! After countdown, all chiong to see fire works... Lol, lucky is kampong area, police not so active arnd ther. Whenever got some 'pah, pak, boom' noise, we all chiong outside go see which household light the fire crackers... The Hos' did is too but ours sibei short compared to others... Got 1 household... wth la, 100m of the fire crackers, like 10mins then finish. Me n Leehom watch like 2mins zhao back to play our stuffs.

Sleep at arnd 4am... shou shui (guard sleep) then also look over the candles... duno for wad actually, custom & tradition stuffs, jus follo lo. 1st to giv angbao, Ahpo of course!

Day1

Overslept! zOMG! Missed out so much fun... woke up at 11am... damn. Aunts n uncles giv out angbao session gone... lucky they still rmb to giv me later in the day. 5shu already gathered so many people to play cards liao, most of which is the Hoshu gen. sian sian woke up by Ten n Pu, go eat branch then change into new clothes coz got many guests coming. Since its 1st day of ny, must pamper myself with loads of crap... food esp. My usual diet (every hr): sweets, green peas, roast nuts, Carlsb (share with shuyi), Angelia Shandy, Prawn crakers and other random crap that can b found in the kitchen or living room.

Played cards, games talk kok, sing song, watch tv all the way till evening then... the very least expected activity: play badminton. Wth... 1st day new year, play badminton... Its nth wrong actually jus that, after so much food, wear nice nice clothes, have to change to exercise, then scared nex dae too tired to continue go bainian. Also played bball... then day 1 ended with most of us worn out.

Day2

Woke up slightly earlier, 10 lol! Usual diet... can drinks! Nuts! Sweets! ate very little during proper meals coz of all these :D Lunch went do Muar @ Big aunts' house, steamboat! Was playing with zhizhi while watching THE MYTH... nice nice. Coolest thing: zhizhi's baby bro, liankhang was super-duper-mega-uber-ultra-bwg KAWAII la! Indeed, he received the nation's cutest baby award 2008, got news article on him pasted on the wall. Make some noise infront of him, he'll jus laugh, its like he shared your joy. Arms stretched out, confirm crawl towards u... zOMG la! 1st time see him, bwg... too good to b true.

Evening went back, no more badminton... at night went to eat dinner @ Oasis bay, food normal normal la, but we had lotsa fun taking pics by the river! All the other guest and visitors stared at us and like all giggling la... LOL! Heck! Nite went back to eat yongjie's birthday cake which is so oishii coz got yogurt in the top layer. Sleep quite late also... watching Starmovies with Leehom, Chuin, Shuyi and Youyou.

Day3

Yosh! Last day in Msia, must spend wisely. Actually every1 abit slack slack liao. Feel like new year long time gone liao, mayb coz played too much. Since its Saturdae... rmbed got hw... n i happened to bring them jus that nv take out for the past 3 days :P Did onli like very lil bit coz Ten was bugging me the whole afternoon, she seem like gonna b very lonely coz holidaes gonna end and every1 leaving, somemore its her birthday todae! After lunch, another round of birthdae songs n cake. Back to SG... @ arnd 12... stupid traffic jam at SG custom... Wth Sg officials thinking? So inefficient, even msia custom no serious jam la.

Back at home, prepared for bainian the next day with classmates... Go zzz while reflecting:

CNY is alwez fun with the family, esp with many many people. Then somemore if got long holidae, can really enjoy myself! Now that many of us had grown up, I realised cny not only food n angbao, its really abt family reunion and moments we all spent together...

I LOVE BEING A HOSHU!!!

Lastly, mus thank Ahgong and Ahpo alot alot and alot! coz like dad alwes sae: no them, no us!

Clean the room I must!

Study table... never tidy coz of sch!

Bookshelf... still very messy

Bu zhi bu jue gonna CNY liao... CANT WAIT!!! Of course to ying jie this special occasion must do spring cleaning, however... only my room, not the whole house (yet). I think only my room looks more pleasant, not the living room nor dining room, its like a boarding house for bunch of youngsters... hardly any adults are present. Woke up super late... 12pm lol! Still in pyjamas, makan nasi lemak bro bought, supposed to b breakfast, anyway eat then start work!

Start off with tidying things up... drawers, study table, book shelf and all 4 corners. Study table... tried to 'tidy' it but in the end like... still the same? just that books and some items look neater. Rearrange the bookshelf, remove some crap then tidy the bottom segment which is full of old stuff: bbss year books, 30cm thick of sec sch test pprs and some books+guides which i find useful and wanna keep em ther. Not much repositioning of comics, jus move some here n ther, anticipate some new bks to come in this Sat.

Cleaning the drawers took most of the time. Coz was taking everything out then saw lots of stuffs thats reminising. Some interesting things that i wanna mention so that I wont forget them in the future:

1. Thick stacks of Hongbao since like 2004?

2. Some hand written letters from frens and couzes... Its so hard to find em todae with email.

3. Bag of small gifts since pri sch. Starred at those that the GMIS people gave me... Hao huai nian... Catherine, Stephanie, Tony, Kevin and this dumb Laos girl... LOL

4. All the badges, collar pins and anything thats pinnable. Missed my prefect badge so much, still quite shiny!

5. class/grp photos, mostly quite recent, E3, 01 grp16, J1... crap... i must dig out those from GMIS and SQPS de!

Sometimes duno y the hell I still keep all these crap... Mayb coz huai jiu. Dun wanna throw em away coz they DO bring back memories, n i think i spent quite some time jus sitting on the floor thinking back on the 'old days'. Probly ten years later, it'll really b old days... coz got many more bunch of interesting peeps whos worthy 2 b in my memories.

After cleaning, do some sch work then watch tv. Went to pick dad n mum from airport (n had dinner at mac ther wif bro)... They're finally back, after suffering in Indo due to the flood; still looking fine, got lots of food from Indo... think they're for CNY. Then another thing made me recall my days in GMIS... mum found my GMIS student card in Indo house n passed it to me. wah~~~ i really miss those peeps, wonder if they still rmb me. I rmb Tony told me 2008 is their last year, so guess even if I see em on the streets oso will not recognize... felt wasted. Even when every1 is like 10+ years old... we had so much fun together, we're all from diff countries, thats wad makes it so special. Then we learnt so many language... from English, then Bahasa, French, mandarin and tagalogue(?) and hindi. Aiyah... so much more! One day... I wanna dig out all GMIS related stuff and make a log.

Test intensive week... survived!

Yosh! Class outing! HAPPY!

Me, jin and Da boss

teabreak @ IKEA

Class T from 2 angles

Hectic week, full of events! 1st part, mondae and tuesday nth much actually... As usual, end late then 2 PE lessons. Tuesday went to terminate piano class, too busy, decision's fixed, i'll leave it aside till end of BMT next year. Then... during one of the weeks assembly, school compliment us for the CIP on sunday! Yay! Good job 07S22 peeps! We deserve it ya!?

2nd half of the week's not relaxing like it used to be... TESTS! OMG! 3 subjs somemore! Managed to study some of em the last weekend, but due to cip, nv actually put time into it. Anyway, weds mug time of course, till like 6pm reach home already dead beat, after dinner, unintentionally slept, then woke up at 2am! So... continue to study lo... chem, sigh... duno how to tackle, its all memorising work. Thurday morning, 1st 2 hours maths n chem test... got owned upside down. See chem qns, familiar but duno how to write -.- ... Maths, not enough time. Giv myself some hope for friday's phy! *BURN WITH DETERMINATION* (&_&)!!!

Of course, todays' test was a joke! I really thought waves and superposition is like some crapscript... but i guess i overestimate. Enjoyed doing the test coz its like the 1st phy test wer i understand everything! However, duno wad marks will come out... sekali single digit again. Jus hope it's worth the sacrifice of my sleep time!

After school went with bunch of class peeps to queensway to collect class shirt. Its always different when we go out as a class, more to talk and gossip, more close. I'm so so so happy! :D:D:D The class shirt was NICE! NIKE lei! I'm lovin it! Wore it immediately at queensway, then went to IKEA to have hotdog... at ther left me, jin, aizen, shuqing, shir, fenru, Sam and Ruien... IKEA hotdogs confirm more TANTALISING than good news tantalising tuesday hotdogs la!

Reached home arnd 6pm... since i'm feeling uber happy, went to gym to exhaust myself coz still in the high mode. Today was really intensive such that i didnt noe i can tahan so much. 2 sets of all the STR stuff then 30mins on threadmill with speed 8.0. I can survive! Actually decide to go SPA room dehydrate and sweat more budden sibei tired liao. So far've been skipping dinner, 3 days liao... hope can reduce weight, haha!!!
