True love lasts this long.
Credits: My Sister

Isn't life such a fragile thing..? Take a look at that recent report about that 14 year old girl who got swept away in a canal. A canal that had water of a height of 70cm. Just because of a few minutes delay and reluctance to climb out of that canal for their safety, a life had to be lost. Think about the grief her mother would have to overcome on losing her only child. And she was only 14 years old.

Sigh, anyway back to my mundane life. Haha English and Chinese paper is over. Also, wishing Mr and Mrs Yeo a happy 1 month anniversary~ Ohlala. And exam's like in one week. Oh no oh no.


An account of a msn conversation with Darren as follows,

Total eclipse of the heart says:
SiGh~~~~~
Darren says:
why?
Darren says:
are you so sad?

Total eclipse of the heart says:
cause life's so fragile
Total eclipse of the heart says:
and love's so futile
Total eclipse of the heart says:
and my mom's forcing a bottle of bak foong pill down my thorax


Back soon, have to go mug for my Organic Chemistry test tomorrow (sigh).

FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA~ I got to skip NAPFA test (5 items) on friday due to a broken toenail! Which brings us back to the story on How Joy's Nail Got Broken.

The story went like that. Joy was running her 2.4km run around the school twice (bluddy effingly irritatingly tiringly long and mundane) when she felt a pain on her left big toe. And didn't care and continued running. After she finished running, she stripped (her shoes, not her clothes) and saw that her toenail had broken! And it was hanging by a few chunks of flesh and was bleeding slightly. So she sloooooooowly, excruciatingly plucked out the broken toenail, and foolishly wiped it with a 70% ethanol cloth. And that's how the story went.

So I got to skip my 5 items lalalalalalalala. Okay nway. Stupid 2.4 sucked cause I missed my target by 20 seconds and got 12.50min instead, sighhhhh. And to think I ran till I almost went out of breath and DIED, AND broke my toenail. RaWr. But at least I hit 12min~

Common tests (language) starts next monday&tuesday... AAAHHH. Okay don't panic. Kbye I'll be back.

Todayyyy, 17th Apr 07 is Ben&Jerry's FREE ice-cream giveaway day :D Hehehe more about that later.
Met up with 4Rp people after schl (Phin, Zenda, Hannah, Keith, Cheeyang etc) and went to Parkway for lunch at BK! Saw Shiang at Kfc with her classmateys. Ate lunch and talked and talked and played with Jess Wong's cool phone with the swivel camera, taking candid shots of people especially Keith (hohohoho).

Kay then went back home, met Songyun on the way after her 2.4km thingy (oh no, ours is tmr..) and went back to Pasir Ris..... where we saw like this long long long queue for a free cone of B&Js (and straightaway we went and joined the queue along with waiting for a lighter downpour). The queue was oh-so-long I tell you, but it was worth it! Got an oreo cone hehehe but there were loads of other flavour (e.g. Phish Food, Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Cookie Dough, Apple Kiwi Sorbet, and loads and loads and loads more) and all the stall-assistants were wearing cutesy B&J's tee that said "Free Ice-Cream!" and with a cow. Which reminds me..... "Moo."

Nyahaha walked home happily licking the Oreo Cone. Isn't B&J's simply worth craving? Yum.

Pictures from last Friday!









Yay, aren't we the cutest group of girlfriends ever? Haha!

Friday the 13th, 2007 officially is Baking Day!! And also Sports Day hehe.

Okay the day started with me waking up at 6.10am. Dad sent me to SingPost to meet class girls for breakfast. Macdonalds wasn't open yet so ate kaya toast + ice milo + 4 eggs(!) at the foodcourt downstairs. Saw some other people there too!

Took the long MRT ride to Lakeside station, met a few other people from class on the same train, what a nice coincidence! Reached, was full of CCHMS/DHS/NASS/TSS people, got up on the shuttle bus. Reached the stadium, and sat with 4Rp girls. Had nice time tanning up front with Phinsiew + cheering like crazy esp. for the 20x100 relay race ^^

Gekyin, me, Phin, Dyane. Picture courtesy of Shiang :D


When the whole thing ended, left Jurong Stadium and took the SUPER DUPER LONG Mrt ride from West to East with the girls. That took about 1 hour. Got our baking supplies and had lunch! Went to my house and it was like 4 plus, so we started baking! I don't have the pictures yet so will upload later. Had some fun time failing our first attempt cause we forgot FLOUR! Still the cookies turned out to be quite nice (like crispy chocolate wafers). Baked triple chocolate cookies and peanut butter cookies! Plus we did some cutout cookies of cutesy little things including something for Phin's mum (cause it was her birthday), and a little something for Shuhua Yeo *winks*.

Crazily attempted some human triangles/yoga positions/weird stretching buddha exercises to the horror of neighbours walking past the corridor. Have got pictures but will upload them later (they were taken by my mom/sis haha)! Ate PizzaHut delivery, courtesy of mom hehe!

Phin left, and we played a game (muahahaha). Had to pour water into a bowl and see who made it overflow, and get a penalty (oopsy), courtesy of Zenda, who also made us laugh and laugh and laugh till we cried! And we did super funny things that aren't gonna be disclosed for personal reasons muahahaha.

Then it was late, so the girls went home!

It's so great to be happy, and that's what spending time with girlfriends are for, isn't it?

Pictures later :D


Time to start mugging for MYEs, sigh!

Hellooo, today's Good Friday 07. Family went down to Choa Chu Kang cemetary to "visit" my granddad and grandaunt =)

First things first. Good Friday is to commemorate the day Jesus rose. Therefore, i'd like you to meet...


Jesus himself! Say hello! Poor thing, the statue's all overgrown with liverworts and plankton (?). So nice right? Took this picture (t'was on top of a tombstonk >.<) and see how nicely it blends with the greenery behind? I think he's stretching his hands out to show Thomas that he really was Jesus (cos Thomas couldn't believe Jesus rose from the dead). Or maybe its a figment of my imagination.

Next up, say hi to Mary, Jesus's mother! Although she kinda looks like Darth Vader/Grim Reaper, but still! So pretty! Especially with all those stuff growing over the stone. Seems so vintage aye? The evening sun wasn't really shining at a right angle thus the darkened picture.


Lastly, introducing thy little angel, residing on yet another tombstone. I photoshopped it and desaturated everything but the little red rosettes. It's praying, how cute!

Okay nuff said about the cemetery visit. Back to SYF. T'was a sad day, sigh! We got gold cause the whole thing got screwed up by lack of volume, pictures anyway. 4 years in cchmsco passed in a blink of an eye! And i'm already an alumni. Ohwell.


On the bus, heading for S'pore Conference Hall


We're proud to be Liuqin-ers!


Joshua's cute, ain't he?


After the performance, on bus back to school.


Anxiously waiting for results.


Dinner at Lau Pa Sat with seniors after results.


One last picture before camera's battery died.


Nothing much to elaborate, since a picture already paints a thousand words. Only that i was practically absent for the whole week of school. Tuesday cause of SYF, Wednesday cause i just wanted to sleep, and Thursday cause i really became sick. I went to the doc and he gave me like 29857203578 pills. See for yourself.

I refuse to eat thy antibiotic cause i'll have to hustle with completing the 20 tablet course in prevention of viruses in my body mutating, which then leads to them producing genetically identical offspring who will continue living in my body and develop resistance to this particular antibiotic (Erythromycin Ethylsuccinate).

And cause of all this, i couldn't go for Sentosa outing with the CO people (which is probably the last outing). Sob. Ohwell i shall reside back into my boudoir. Happy Good Friday.
