compo was alright, i guess.
its a new experience, having exams in the school hall,
where sometimes its stuffy,
sometimes the wind from the fans are too strong.

studying in the library@esplanade was partially fulfilling,
nice ambience and all,
managed to get some maths, ss and chem studying done.

met up with old friend and studied at this terribly cold starbucks.
did maths and ss :D
okay and im hooome. heheh
and damn i still want to study more.

all the best to everyone! Loves.

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one that has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation in the world.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

> Always put yourself in another's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too.

The happiest person in the world doesn't necessarily have the best of everything; but instead is one who makes the most of everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't get on well in life until you let go of past failures and heartaches.


There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be.

That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.

But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgements and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.

So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.

Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Keep Believing in Yourself.

firstly i'd like to thank all those birthday wishers in the wee hours of the morning:
MEL KOH (who was totally the earliest), leckhui, SHIANGLING, mr junwei& huiqii :D

and thank you all who bothered to send an sms to me wishing me a happy birthday!

i'm oh-so-touched by the presents the BUTTS and my dear classmates gave me.
especially the noticeboard filled with pictures from shiangling, and the beautiful card drawn by mel :)
it really touched me!
and i'm really glad that so many of you guys bothered to get me those gifts that mean alot to me.
the water dispenser was really cool, and so was all the other stuff.

i love you girls <3>
this has been one memorable birthday. thank you, from the bottom of my heart :)

(no wait maybe not) HOHO~

hmm sigh i wanna go to Germany&Venice. hope there's space! haha.

and sigh its like almost the end of 2006 :/ seems like just yesterday we were still enjoying our 05' break mapling everyday and being happy and carefree. and damn next year is O lvls. why does time pass so fast? i fear growing up, yet i wish i was all grown up.

well, to everyone out there, all the best for this years' EOY. and start mugging. NOW.

10 September 2006

bah it's back to school tomorrow. oh no i hate the feeling of back to school, but at least we get to see our friends. but it also means that our EOYs are fast approaching. sigh,

life ain't no honeymoon.

at the moment i'm feeling really bad about me wasting away one precious week that could have been improvised into studying and prepping for EOYs. now i dammit have only 3 weeks or so left. ahhhh. noooo.

yesterday was fun though, outing with tricia :D and my aunty got me a tube of MAC lipgloss hoho~ went totally everywhere and cam-whored. and i'm still waiting for her to send me the pictures!

one more thing, i think i won't be updating that often when term 4 starts. (nooo i dont wanna be sec 4) damn.

and the word hiatus slowly surfaces.

i'll be a nerd and study my ass off, time for my last minute mugathon now :/

today was fantabulously grrrreat :D its the first time in the one week break that i actually went out and HAD FUN. met shiangling at suntec at 12pm, got dyaaane's present (yo birthday girl!) from perlini's, met up with mel phin hua birthday girl at heeren, took neoprints! with that shiny fab machine~

and finally we gathered at what used to be marche but converted to "village" with the exact same interior and food-ordering style with rest of guys, there was, 6 of us girls, and one whole truckload of guys (miss tong yongsheng james justin brian eeruey guoxiang gabriel). ate some really nice and super filling ham&cheese crepes, and miss-nice dyane treated us all to ginger/root beer :D whole load of cam-whoring along the way haha!

went to catch a movie - little man (or sth like that) and t`was NC16 and gawd, phin and guoxiang managed to buy 14 tickets and sneak us all in. that show was bleeping hilarious, and a little crude to top it off, and the little guy was really corny.

headed to the concourse after the show, had a round of pool/billard (whats the diff?) t`was fun! shooting small colourful balls around a table with a long stick :D the last time i played it was, what, sec 1?

ate dinner at BK, ordered a really BOHUA meal :/ shiangling rushed home after that, and dyane, phin, hua caught a cab back. the rest of us walked the neverending road to bugis, where me, miss tong and brian parted with mel & yongsheng.

pictures tmr :D when i finally receive the elephunt-sized file with the transfer rate as slow as a snail runs a marathon.

stepped out of the house in the morn having no motive whatsoever of having fun, yea but i've proved meself wrong once again! :D had bio remedial from 8 to 10, and decided to have fun with the girls!

at first wanted to watch movies at amanda's, but in the end ended up singing weird chinese karaoke songs, watching the nun, SWIMMING and relaxing in the sauna at her house with her (duh), meng, tricia and suet! yea man it was funnn. at first had no intention of swimming, just sat there bored out cuz i cant sing chinese, annnd after awhile jumped into the cute pool with meng! shortly after joined by suet and amanda. took pics, splashed around, and the sauna was greeeat. haha!

amanda's apartment really is fab. it has like 2 balconys, see thru mirror windows and some really chic rooms! an ideal place for camping out or sleeping in.

went home feeling famished and sleeepy, and now i'm bloated with instant kimchi ramen lol!

had a greeeat day :D thanks amanda :)
