Thank you for the wonderful Christmas.

My favourite WGM couple left the show last saturday. The show is something to look forward to every mon/tue. They are also one of the reasons why I watched WGM again after Hwang Buin and Hyun Joong left the show. And after them, there's Goguma and Khuntoria.Hence, as I watched their last episode just now, I can't believe everything just ended like that. Now we can only watch their interaction in the daily sitcom. After the sitcom, I don't think that it will be likely that they will collaborate again.

Thanks to the Adam couple for making the past months so fun and enjoyable for me .
I really had a great time watching the show.
You guys will be miss.

It's 2011!

Nowadays, I just don't know what to blog about. Is it because of writer's block?

Anyways, I wish all my friends a happy chinese new year in advance in case the writer's block won't go away.

It's been eight years since I flew in a plane. Can't believe eight years passed like that. I'm looking forward to the trip! This time I have money and I'm old enough to tag along my cousins. We'll have a good time together!

SNSD, 2AM, Hyun Joong, SHINee, 2PM, Cnblue, Brown Eyed Girls ... ...

Anniyeong haseyo, Korea!

School Started for a week... And I'm still trying to get use to it. Squeezing up buses and trains, listening attentively during lectures, queuing up for the toilet and to get food...

In addition to all that, our family recently welcome a new member; Baby Andrea. Welcome to the family. (:

Dedicated to my Dearest Sister who is fianlly back from Korea!!! I wrote a note for you everyday when you're gone!

没有姐的第一天晴
你应该以经到韩国了吧？是不是很冷？现在这里很热、我晚上睡觉也会不惜惯没有你的咳嗽声。房间好安静。好好休息，明天开始疯狂血拼。晚安

没有姐的第二天晴
今天，你打电话回来了，才一天就买了五件衣，一件裤，etc。希望你接下来也会玩得很开心

没有姐的第三天晴加阴
早上在放衣服洗时，突然发现衣服怎么这么少，原来是因为你不在。
今天又是我一个人在家，家里好安静，和平时的星期六完全不一样。
希望今天你在首尔也能玩得好。

PS: 真是个好冷清又安静的星期六

没有姐的第四天晴加阴加雨
今天又是我一个人在家，好孤单啊。

刚刚发生了一个小插曲，我又找不到我的东西了，这次是手提电话。那个时候最希望你能在家帮我找，我心理百感交集，拼命回想我到底把它放在哪儿。找了大概十分钟，我才发现它被我包在被窝里。我可能真的得了什么失忆症吧... ...

强力推荐 K. Will 的一首歌，Dropping the Tears
歌词非常的感人哦！

没有姐的第五天晴
等一下我就要去考试了，你应该在享受旅行当中。还记得你说要用平常心哦...

没有姐的第六天晴加雨
昨晚和你通电话时真高兴，听你的声音知道你肯定玩得很开心。谢谢你在旅行时都会记得买东西给我。

多两天考试就结束了，考试时总会想考完后要做什么。要加油！

又到推荐歌曲时间，今天是Gummy的＜＜因为是男人＞＞，有贤重饰演她的MV。重点是歌好听啦... 哈哈！

没有姐的第七天晴晚上突然下雨
你过得好吗？有没有吃辣抄年糕、猪血糕、人参鸡汤？

今天突然有writer's block，不知道要写什么。如果等一下想到了再写吧。如果想不到我就明天再写了。哈哈！

忽然想到了要写什么了，刚刚我在回家的路上碰见了小丽的妈妈。因为她戴着太阳眼镜，我差点儿认不出来，仔细看了看才认出。

还有一直要谢谢你但是总忘记。谢谢你在去韩国之前收拾了你的桌子，考试时最需要很多的位子读书。:)

没有姐的第八天晴加雨
考试终于结束了，明天开始我要好好地玩，放松一下。今天也有想你哦...

没有姐的第九天晴and雨and晴
今天一天都在家里看戏，已经很久都没这样了。看戏也可以暂时忘记寂寞，对着那些笑话捧腹大笑。

你很快就要回来了吧，你不在时好的是风扇能自己吹，所以不用开冷气，也不会有人烦我。但是我还是真的很想你！

没有姐的第十天晴
今天，我和我的中学同学们一起出去庆祝我和另一个朋友的生日。我们去了 The Heeren 的Waraku，他们还买了 Icing Room 的蛋糕，唱生日歌。

吃饱后，我们在 Frolick 聊天。我们已经多久没像这样聊了，话题也和以前不同了。一些人聊关于大学的趣事，一些谈谈爱情的事。我们几时都长大了，希望十年、二十年后，我们还是能一样有时坐在一块儿聊天。

好想你！

没有姐的第十一天晴后阴加大雨
明天你就要回来了，早上我换了床单。今天，没发生什么特别的事，不知道晚上要吃什么。说到吃，我很久都没有吃到你煮的意大利面了，有空的话要煮哦。

没有姐的第十二天晴
你终于要回来了，等一下一定会到楼下替你拿行李上来。明天你有工作吗？

晚点，我还得洗厕所。真是好久都没看到你和阿Bee姐姐的脸了！！

Thank you for all the lovely presents! Really missed you and Ah Bee jie jie a lot, alot!

It's 2nd May 2010. Today I am officially twenty. Now I can understand why Danielle don't wish that it's her birthday. There's no longer a 1 infront of my age. Nevertheless, Happy birthday to myself and to those who happen to have the same birthday.

Exams are coming. We must study study study! Never forgetting having some fun during the breaks too....

2010-03-04T16:43:00.002+08:00

I tried hard to closer the gap between us. However, it just gets further each time. When I finally open my heart, did you even notice it?

There is still a tinge of burnt smell in the air. I looked out of the window hoping everything's okay. But all i see is a huge dark patch. The fire's been too cruel this time. It left only a few of the trees standing behind... ...

2010-02-12T15:33:00.002+08:00

Will be away from Singapore for CNY period. Be back on the 17th Feb. Enjoy the holidays! Take care. :)

2010-02-08T14:32:00.003+08:00

Everything that happening now seems like it is suppose to be the distant future I thought about!!!

SLOW DOWN PLEASE!~

2010-02-03T21:38:00.003+08:00

It's February! Chinese new year is coming soon. Though I have spent 10 over years of CNY, I'm still looking forward to it. Because it the season when you can get new clothes, eat and gossip around.

On the side note, I've been catching the 7pm show on Channel U. My mum and dad love it too. It is called Temptation of Wife. I have always love shows with a strong theme especially when it comes to taking revenge. Sometimes, I feel that I can empathize the characters. No one has been so nasty to me but there are people who don't treat you well in this society. Don't worry I am not trying to plot revenge just enjoying these shows which can stir my emotions. These shows tend to have nice sound track too. Other than Temptation of Wife, shows like Maou and Ryusei no Kizuna also talks about avenging for their grievances. Maou has a superb sound track and the main character acted really well.

Alright, hope everyone is doing well. To all my friends and family out there: Take care!~

2010-01-28T12:22:00.002+08:00

Hi People

It's the first entry of 2010. I've been thinking of what I should blog about. As I was looking at friends' blogs, I see that they are coping with their lives in the university or poly. Most of them are working hard and having fun at the same time. We all met new friends and some even made boyfriends. We are all moving on to the next phase of life. I'm really happy for them.

So what have I been doing for the past months in SIM? Let me do a short summary now.

Before school starts, we need to pay fees locally and to London. All these are quite complicated and I'm proud i managed to do most of it by myself with the help of my dearest sister in some parts. I met Yingshuang at the RELC building when i was paying fees. At that moment, I felt relieved as she is the only person whom I know that is going to SIM to study. Actually I asked some of my friends whether they're keen to study in SIM but all of them rejected my offer. Hence, when i saw Ys I was very touched because at last there's someone there. Immediately, i looked for Meizhen to get her phone number to keep in contact with her. I didn't get it form her because she was with her mum at RELC. Although she's taking a different course as me, we're taking the same foundation units for the first year in school.

So we went to the enrolment talk and orientation together. I didn't want to go to the orientation but I didn't want to miss out the chance of knowing more people and maybe I could make a friend(s) of the smae course. During orientation, I didn't really get to interact with anyone other than Ys .I think the main reason is because most of the people in our OG already knew each other so everyone was talking amongst themselves. However, I noticed that 1 out of like 20 persons in my OG was taking the same course as me. I waited for a suitable timing to get closer to her. When the day almost ended, I finally found a chance to talk to her and get her number. She is none other than Yanting a.k.a. our Lao Da. I achieved the objective of the day of knowing more people. Thank you Ys for being there.

Then, came choosing our timetable. Ys's course started choosing the timetable earlier than us. When it was my turn, I was desperately trying to choose the exact timetable as her. However,
some of the time slots are full and I can click in. So we ended up having only 1 common lecture together. I called Lao Da to asked if she has chosen her timetable. I guess I was really brave that time because I have never taken the initiative to speak to someone whom I just know. She told me she didn't know it was time to choose the timetable and I kinda forced her to choose the same timing because I didn't ask her whether she wanted to be in the same lectures as me. Okay, back to the point. So she tried to choose the same timetable as me but she didn't get 1 class. The class is Sociology 12-3pm on fridays. Alright, at least we managed to get the same classes for 4 days. I was quite worried that she will find me weird.

Finally, school started. On the first lecture, Ys and Lao Da were there and Ys found out that an og mate(Jian Liang) was in the same lecture as us. We sat together through the lecture. After lecture started for a few minutes, I saw a familiar face frantically trying to find a seat and she sat beside a guy which I don't know.

I talked to myself :"Oh, that girl. It the girl from our OG. Her name is Xiao Hui. She's the brave girl who went up to play dodge pillow for our OG."

I told Lao Da that she's from our OG but Lao Da kinda ignored me. I don't think she had a good first impression of XH. But I was thinking I should ask her if she wants to sit together for the next lecture. So 2 days later I saw XH at the bus stop going to school. I approached her and took the initiative again(I seriously think sec sch and jc had trained me to be less passive) to asked herwhat lecture she's having. She told me that she having maths lecture too. Then, she explained that she doesn't know that guy who was sitting beside her on the 1st lecture and she would be glad to sit with us. I also found out what's her timetable and told her we could sit togather. So for the past 6 months, Ys, Lao Da, XH and I have been enjoying the company of one another. Lao Da also got along with XH and changed her 1st impression of her. =)

Anyway, I have also made friends who are not from OG during the sociology class on Fridays. They are Verlyn and Jenny. For the first few lessons I was sitting alone until one day Jenny came and sat beside. I took the initiative again to ask her what's her name and intro myslef!!! Then we had a project to do and we got to know Verlyn who also has been sitting alone for the past few weeks. Since then we have been attending sociology classes together. =) =)

For the past 6 months, I have been attending lectures and trying to understand intro to econs, intro to biz and management, principle of sociology, maths and statistics. Econs is very different from A lvl. We need to use the model to answer all questions and we're not required to write essays. Sociology and IBM are new subjects. Statistics with no Graphic Calculator is tough! Maths is similar to A lvl. We had lecture tests once in a while to check on our understanding. Mock exams are coming soon in March and now we're all revising. Jia you everyone!

Can you believe it? We are in 2010 and 2010 sounds like a distant future to me. I will continue to love my family and friends. Hope you guys are working hard and enjoying your life too. We are all growing old! I don't wanna mention what age I will be because it is so intimidating and it is a sensitive issue!

2009-12-31T23:36:00.002+08:00

It's going to be 2010 soon. 2009 has been a bad and good year at the same time. Hope that 2010 will be a better year! I have been eating and eating good food for the month of December. Time really passes very fast. All the events came and ended in a flash(Lots of Photos on Facebook).

Here wishing all my friends and family out there a very Happy New Year.
Happy 2010!

Thank you for all those who made 2009 a wonderful year for me.

Ghandi once said "There is enough for everyone's need, not everyone's greed."

If all the resources on our earth are shared equally, there be enough for everyone to meet their basic needs. However, even if we finish using all the resources on our earth, it will not be sufficient to fulfil everyone's desire.

The desktop's still not working =(.

Fell in love with oldies lately...

2009-10-10T22:08:00.002+08:00

I went out with my primary school mates, Yvonne and Xiaoyin, to pasir ris e hub to sing k. Had lots of fun. The pictures are with Yvonne. I'm quite surprised to find out that the voice of me singing and talking is so different. I couldn't believe that the person singing from the recorded voice is me.

After dinner, Yvonne and I went to the arcade to play. It felt like we have went back to primary school times when we went out together during the school holidays and had fun. Now I know why sometimes humans want to go back in time so badly. Because memories are all so precious...

Thank you Yvonne and Xiaoyin for being able to attend in gathering.
Always looking forward for the next one.

2009-09-30T21:12:00.002+08:00

My desktop's not working and it is currently with Xiaoli's Dad who will help us to fix it. So that explains why there hasn't been any updates recently.

Anyway, I attended a Wine Appreciation Workshop today in school. It was pretty interesting. The speaker is a fun person who owns a restaurant at Funan Centre. Overall, the course is enriching as he taught us how to observe the colour, smell of the wine and taste of the wine. The course was just 2 hours but he managed to cover as much as he could. Everyone got to try 1 glass of sparkling wine, 3 glasses of white wine and 2 glasses of red wine. I guess we are all very satisfied at the end of the day. Tomorrow I'm going for another workshop! Next week there's the personality workshop.

2009-09-11T23:28:00.002+08:00

The assignments are stacking up and tests are coming very soon. Although the marks are not going to be counted in the final exams, we are all working very hard. Econs is so different and the assignment question 2 is so difficult!

It is good to be working hard because everyone is working hard together with you!

1st September

My cousin Jazli asked me to go over for tuition on Tuesday, the 1st of September. When I reached their house, the first thing him and his brother told me was "Happy Teachers' Day". After which, they handed the presents to me. for As long as I can remember, for all these years I have only been wishing my teachers "Happy Teachers' Day". Although I am just their tuition teacher, I can feel the happiness of being teacher and receiving gifts as well as wishes from your students. It always feels different when you are looking at things from a different point of view. Sometimes when I teach them I wonder why don't they wanna work harder or why don't they put in more effort in their work. I believe it is just like how my teachers felt. Anyway, this is a really sweet feeling and special occasion that I will remember. The following are the pictures of the presents:

A Heart Shaped Balloon with sweet words written on it.

A pouch with heart prints on it probably bought by my aunt.

The lemon shaped hand cream with a nice cover outside it.

Yesterday, we had a E7 girls gathering organised by Kailin! Lee Lian, Keyang, Meizhen, Shimin, Ziying, Kailin and I attended the outing, which is a total of 7 people. Yuye wasn't free to go. I was quite disappointed when I know that she cannot go. Thank you Kailin for organising and thank you Lee Lian for the company(I love you always) =) We went to BBQ chicken at tampines 1 and unfortunately we got caught in the dinner crowd. So we waited for like 1 hour before there is any seat available. We ate and shared about our lives. I heard interesting stories from them. Listening to their stories and laughing made me feel very comfortable. I can only be so natural in front of them other than my family members. Thank you for such a great time.

Today morning my mum, sister and I went delifrance for breakfast and did some grocery shopping at NTUC. I requested for my sister to cook Alio Oglio and she agreed. I am so happy because it has been a long time since I last ate it. She seldom cooks ever since she started working. But the standard is still there and it may have even improved. Her Alio Oglio is the best in the world! I was so satisfied with the meal! Thank you, Jie!

2009-08-27T22:24:00.003+08:00

Today I had stats lecturein the morning. As usual, it was a fun lecture with all the friends around me and me around them. After stats, Evelyn, Yanting and I went to attend a lecture conducted by Prof Gosling(she's the director for LSE from London) to highlight to us some useful exams tips for sociology. i find the lecture quite useful and that I could see some light in sociology. At the end of the lecture, we went forward to request to take a picture with her. She was very friendly and even shook hands with us reminding us to work hard. Thank you! The photo is with Yanting.

I bought books at the popular book fair. The books were priced at 5 dollars each. Today is the last day of the book fair. I got the Inkheart trilogy at just 15 dollars(each book costs 5 dollars) and a book title "Follow Your Heart"(FYH) by Andrew Matthews. Inkheart the movie was said by many a flop so I think most probably the book is a lot better? I started on FYH and found it quite interesting. Bascially, it is a book that helps you find purpose and meaning in life. the book is not very wordy and the author adds in interesting illustrations.

2009-08-24T20:51:00.002+08:00

My Mum and Dad went out for a movie date. That's so sweet right? Actually we wanted to have a family movie outing but it was cancelled because of everyone clashing schedules. So my mum and dad went to catch the movie first. The main reason of why they went to catch the movie is because my dad had free tickets for "Where got ghosts?". I will have to wait for my sis to watch it with me.

I think I am starting to get use to school. Thanks to all the people around me. They make me feel comfortable and secure just like the feeling which I had a long long time ago. How nostalgic this feeling is...

Life is Hard Dakara(so be) HAPPY!!!

2009-08-08T00:24:00.003+08:00

The first week of school has passed.

Today had sociology lecture. Sadly, I am alone during the lecture. The person sitting beside me did not seem to be very friendly. Although I wanted to try to talk, the atmosphere just don't feel right. So I gave up in the end. Hopefully I can get know someone from the lecture. If not it is quite bored to sit through a 3 hours lecture without people talking to you. Come to think of that I haven't talk to anyone from morning till 4.30pm until my mum and dad came home... ...

Well, the long weekends are here. Enjoy everyone. Happy Birthday Singapore! :)

2009-08-06T19:01:00.003+08:00

School has begun this Monday. As my lessons are mostly in the morning and I have to travel to Clementi, I need to wake up very early everyday.

Today the was some problem with the train service and caused me to be late by about 5 minutes. I would not have been late if the train is functioning properly =( So I felt a bit upset especially when the lecturer for Stats 1 emphasized that he dislike people who are late for class. However, there are some people who arrive at 9am or later when lessons actually starts at 8.30am.

I'm hanging around with my OG mates most of the time. Although we are from different courses, some of our lectures are the same. That means that we can sit together during lessons. Tomorrow I am having sociology lecture which I don't think anyone will be having so I may have to sit alone or hopefully I can make a new friend.

I know she doesn't read my blog. But since I am updating my blog on this special day, I would like to take this opportunity to wish Iris a happy birthday.

The moment when you start to accept reality , will be the moment you can truly move on and continue with life.

2009-07-28T19:31:00.003+08:00

So hand phones really do end up in the toilet bowl if you are not careful about it and in the first place don't bring hand phone into the toilet unless necessary. When I say necessary, I really mean necessary.

My sister wasn't a very careful person and for your information she is still not a careful person. Hence, this cause the tragic lost a young and innocent hand phone. Imagine if this was her kid....

So this incident teaches us a lesson do not bring your hand phone to the toilet especially if you need to use a squatting one.

The end.

My Biao Ge ,Terence, left us for Australia to study on last Sunday. All the best to you. He is on scholarshsip and will be back in 5 months time. Almost everyone went to send him off the airport. We had a clan farewell dinner(which everyone went) held on last last Sunday. We hope you like the addidas jacket from Lynda, Wendy, Tenny and me.We will miss you. Photos are on facebook.

My sister graduated from NUS! Her commencement was held on the 13th of july 2009. Congratulations to her. She managed to get tickets for our father, mother, grandma and of course me. As usual, we feel very proud of her.

More pictures can be found at facebook! By the way, I uploaded the pictures for her because she was busy working. The lion you see on the picture is a gift for her from me. The stall was selling 1 at $39.90. My father look so happy in this picture.

More T-shirts...

Front view of Sec 4 Class T that can be personalised.
On the sleeve "4E7 06 PRSS copyright"

Cool logo designed by my classmate on the back of the T.

Sleeve of Cello and Bass section T. PRSS Chinese Orchestra.

Back view. Number represents the school cello number that I used.

Front view of the jc class T. Very abstract "07S14". Can you tell? I still don't see the number 4. Maybe because it was designed by a arts classmate.

Back view with a small cartoon designed. This is the most plain T I have ever had. Notice that both my sec school and jc classmates like black a lot which explains why both Ts are black..

Taken while I was chopping vegetables. This is the stem of a vegetable. One of my all time favourite.

Today is the 1st of July. Last day of June ended with me and mum collecting the NUS grad robe for my sister at NUS and having tuition with my cousins.

2009-06-29T21:53:00.002+08:00

Woo. They are building the east campus of the United World College of South East Asia opposite my house. That's the building shown on the above. Looks pretty right?

Stay tune for the next post. =)

Today's topic will be about T-shirts and some interesting pictures. Below are some of my t-shirts that I had during my secondary school years. I wanted to take some pictures of them just in case they are spoilt and needs to be thrown away in the future.

This is the front view of PRSS PE T-shirt. I only had 1 PE t-shirt which accompanied me through the 4 years of my sec school education.

Here's the back view

This T-shirt was given to us during the East Zone CO camp held at Dunman High in 2004. The words are "Rhapsody in Harmony 2004".

Back view.

Sec 3 camp!!!
I love the details at the back of the T-shirt!

This is my orientation T-shirt for first 3 months at MI. I had lots of fun there! De Novo symbolises a new beginning. At least they gave us orientation t-shirt. Unlike tpjc and their 2nd orientation wasn't fun.

As I was uploading the pictures I forgot that I still have 1 more t-shirt which is the CelloBass T-shirt. I will take a picture of it another time.

Royal Copahagen's new beautiful pink menu.

Went with my cousins and Aunt to Royal Copahagen for high tea last saturday and found out that they changed their menu. The mini words are"Surveyor To Her Majesty The Queen of Denmark."
Green tea from Hokkaido. They really put what they want to sell in nice packages.

2009-06-02T11:33:00.003+08:00

Wendy is back from Taiwan with lots of presents for me! Below is a water bottle which I wanted her to get for me. But she said this is for her and she got me another bottle...

She bought me this Nike water bottle which is about S$8 cheaper than if you were to get it in Singapore. She wanted the Adidas water bottle above because she say it can be used to make tea and she wanted to bring it to work.

New wallet.

Another view of the new wallet.

My first and New pair of shades.

She also bought me 3 new pair of earrings. There are also clothes and 5 pairs of shoes and snacks and luggage bags and souvenirs to share. Thank you for the wonderful presents.

2009-05-30T16:48:00.002+08:00

Wendy is coming home tonight at about 1am++. 10 days passed. Hope she have enjoyed her graduation trip.

I went to AllSmiles dental clinic located below Tampines MRT station yesterday to get my teeth cleaned up. Did scaling and polishing. My mood has been quite good since. The experience was very frightening as I have always been afraid of dentists and dental checkups. But after my teeth is all cleaned, it felt good. =) Protect your teeth!

2009-05-22T21:39:00.004+08:00

Wendy is not in Singapore! She will be back 8 days later.

Late post about my birthday.

My birthday was on the 2nd of may. This is the last year that my age is going to start with 1. Next year would be 20. On the 1st of may, Keyang, Meizhen, Kailin,Yuye and Iris celebrated Ziying and my birthday together at New York New York. Then we went to Galare to eat our birthday ice cream(the pictures are at facebook). Lee Lian and Shimin both aren't free and no present from them(haha, kidding)! But Iris came. I was very touched =) Thank you. When I reached home, I was greeted with a treasure hunt for my 19th birthday present by my beloved sister. I took about 45 min to complete the challenging hunt with a total of 19 clues at different locations. It was a creative idea and I had lots of fun! Thank you Jie.

Then on the 2nd of may, my cousins and sister celebrated with me. We went to the Royal Copenhagen for high tea and saw the famous chef Sam Wong. After which we went to walk around, before Tenny met us for dinner at Thai Express. Thank you everyone for spending time with me.

I am still in a dilemma. I am still waiting for answers. Please give me a confirmed answer whether it is a yes or no, I will accept it with an open mind.

Hey people out there. I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging due to the tight schedule. I am now working at loyang now for Daikin for 3 weeks. Next tues is going to be my last day. So nowadays I'm pretty busy with work and tuition for my cousins. Their exams are nearing!

If you are thinking of what to get for me for my birthday, I am going to be straightforward and tell you that I need money to get a new ipod touch or classic. My mp3 now is a 512mb creative MuVoo =( It doesn't have enough space for me to put my songs.

2009-04-11T01:07:00.003+08:00

I just read a shocking news that singer Ah Sang had passed away on the 6th of April due to breast cancer. Her cancer was at the last stage. She is the singer of the song "ye zi". I remember not long ago I was still discussing with my sister about her whereabouts since she hasn't appeared after her last album. My sister was still asking is the news real, when we read it. When I listen to her songs, it doesn't seem that she is not around anymore.

Rest in peace.

My mum volunteered me to give tuition to my cousins who requires chinese tuition. Since I haven't been lucky to find any job, I agreed to try out teaching.The first session is held today. Although I was quite nervous at first and the few days before, the session was quite an enjoyable one. After the session, I was very tired as it is straight 3 hours of tuition for the 2 boys with each lasting to 1.5 hr.I have never given tuition to anybody so I guess this is a valuable experience for me. It is indeed very tough to teach a language especially if the kids do not even like the subject. I seriously hope our campaigns will work and encourage more parents to speak chinese to their children. We have to start at a young age and expose them to Mandarin.

I changed my phone to SE G705. It is quite a nice phone to use with many functions. It is a pity that I haven't really tried to take any interesting pictures yet. So I guess pictures will have to wait.

Haven't seen some of my friends for quite some time. Though we keep saying let's meet up soon, nobody is organising any meetup sessions. I guess everyone is busy, am I right?

2009-03-19T23:45:00.002+08:00

6th of March the day I have ever had the biggest disappointment in my life. I won't want that to ever happen the second time in my life. I understand why when you put in 50% effort the outcome that you get may not be 50%. So to ensure that you get at least 50% outcome, put in >50% effort.

I am looking for a new temp job now... ...

2009-03-13T19:25:00.003+08:00

I went to SIM open house 2009 with Shimin and her mum. There was actually nothing much and we just managed to ask questions about the courses offered by some universities within SIM. University of London, University of Buffalo and RMIT. The cheapest is RMIT and most expensive is UB. Quite an eye opening experience. Tomorrow we will be going to NTU open house. Why are all the universities so faraway?

Anyway, I helped Shimin to hand in her time sheet and asked my consultant to help me keep a look out for jobs. Guess my working life needs to begin soon again.

Please let me get into a local university. I really don't want my family to spend so much money for me to study at a private university. please...

2009-03-06T21:14:00.002+08:00

Today is one of the most disappointing day in my life. I got my A levels results back. My results is not the worst but neither is it good. I may not be able to enter any local universiy. I may only have 2 choices, SIM or NIE. That is when the problem comes. When you are not some rich kid, you don't have much choices if your results suck. I admit that throughout my 18 years of life, my academic has never been extraordinary well. I have never surpass my sister in all major exams. I thought I could. But I didn't as usual. My family may not be able to afford for me to go to SIM so the I may go to NIE. Actually being a teacher is my ambition when I was young so after all things may not turn out to be so bad.

I must admit that I was angry with my very own stupidity and failure to perform up to expectations. Angry at the failure to make my parents proud of me. I'm sure my not so wonderful results are going to have tongues wagging. People are going to talk behind you. I hate all these. But who can I blame except for myself.

Well, my sister asked me to try out some courses and see whether they'll accept me. I guess there's no harm trying right?

2009-03-05T20:38:00.003+08:00

My sister is busy this whole week because this week is their IP week. Heard from her that they are supposed to chiong finish their projects this week and the presentation is next week.

I was having dinner with Papa and Mummy at the coffee shop downstairs. Then we suddenly talked about our sister. Mummy said whenever she is not around, the house is very quiet. I asked her whether she missed her and she said ya. My sister is really very busy this week. We haven't eat dinner togeher for a few days and she is in school for the whole day for the past few days.

Although my sister is pretty irritating and unreasonable at times, I appreciate everything that she has done for me. I am very lucky to have such a nice sister. In my heart, she is always my role model and someone who I would aim to become. Confident and good at expressing herself. She will always protect me. I still remember when I was in primary school, she took the school bus with me. I would sit at the window seat and she will sit beside me to ensure that no one bullies me. I was a coward. I got bullied in school and my mum had to go to school to complain to the teacher. However, my sister is the exact opposite of me. She was the one who would bully guys in her class. We are very different. But yet we get along well.

To my dearest sister, if you are reading this, remember that we love you. Mummy said we will miss you dearly when you go for your graduation trip. Thank you for being a nice sister.

I'm considering getting a ipod classic because a touch is a little too expensive to afford. A classic also has a huge storage space of 120gb. I can place lots of videos in it. The price is about $300++.

My contract with Siemens ended officially on friday.

There were bitter and sweet times, people whom I really cannot stand. However, I really enjoyed my stay at Siemens. To all those whom have showered me with your kindness, I express my deepest appreciation and gratitude. Another chapter of my life has ended and it is time again for me to move on. I will miss everyone of you. Thank you. For the one who hadn't been nice, I sincerely hope that your attitude would change. For you do not deserve any respect from us, if you do not respect the people around you in the first place. Remember you can never be always right.

2009-02-16T21:10:00.002+08:00

Thanks for the encouragement from everyone. Don't worry I have not given up on cello at least for now.

Sometimes I ask myself why am I here where I am now. I could have jolly well leave. I wasn't happy. But I forced myself to stay. I do not know if it is because I am a chicken or I just do not want others to worry about me. Or maybe because it is ending soon.

No matter how hard life is, take a deep breath and tell yourself "I am so fortunate to be living" so treasure every moment of it.

2009-02-08T22:32:00.002+08:00

I've thought of giving it up. But someone brought the issue up again.
Maybe I should consider picking my cello up and playing again.

Meanwhile, wish me luck at my work. Things ain't as easy as it seems. Hang in there till they take the necessary actions.

2009-01-24T11:53:00.002+08:00

Winnie will be away with her family clan for holiday during chinese new year from 25th to 28th Jan. Happy Chinese New Year in advance to all my friends and family.

I may not be the richest person.
I may not be leading a perfect life.
I may not be the way that I want it to be.
But I am proud to announce that I am elated to be living at this moment and will cherish every moment of it.

After all your life belongs to you, you have every right to decide how you want to live it.

2009-01-18T12:16:00.002+08:00

It's 2009 now.

Chinese new year is in about 1 week's time. My family clan is going to Malaysia to spend the CNY. I guess it'll be lots of fun, shopping and chatting.

Meanwhile, I am working very hard at Siemens. I seldom get to levave at 5.30pm. Work always drag till like 6pm or later. My boss says I'll be in charge of the staff claims. A big responsibility for a temp? The staff claims need to be consolidated every week. I'm doing all the filing and blocking of payments and printing out proposals. In addition, I also assist my colleague in labelling of files, photocopying, fax and sending of documents to different levels of the office. I only get to rest on weekends. Working is very different from studying. Everyday is from 8.30am to evening. Other than the longer hours, there are office politics, unfriendly people... ... But I can say I learn a lot from this working experience.

Later my family clan is going to Paramount Hotel to celebrate my ah ma's birthday. There'll be nice food again!

I haven't seen many of my friends for quite some time. Hope they are all doing fine. Continue to stay in touch.

2008-12-31T23:08:00.003+08:00

Thanks for all your concern about whether I'm okay at work. I'll take this chance to say I'm fine, don't worry. My job is to assist my supervisor to do stamping, checking and filing up of things. I'm working in the accounts department(a.k.a. GSS department). This department is extremely busy so even though today is supposed to be half day, I still had to work till 4.30pm. Overall, the people there are quite nice but I haven't got much chance to interact with them due to the heavy work load. Today I finally get to knock off with my supervisor. The previous 2 days she was still working when I left the place. Still trying to get use to the work place... There's another guy working there too. But he is doing different stuffs from me. He is a nice guy who will eat lunch with me. No lunching alone! My pass is not here yet so whenever I need to go anywhere I need to ask for the pass from my supervisor. In the morning have to ask people to open the door for me. Pass please come fast!

On the lighter note, this will be the last post for year 2008.

2008 marks the end of my JC life for the time being. No more COs, studying and unhappy relationships(NOT BGR) etc.... I'll miss them lots. Some relationships strengthened and some weakened. No matter what life still moves on. Also, I had the first job in my life. *My student concession ended too, which means expensive travelling fees! This explains why the more I need to work.* Concluding, 2008 was a fruitful year for me.

See you next year then.

Lastly, wishing all my friends and family a Happy New Year and welcome 2009 with open arms.

Christmas is over so is my job searching for the time being...

My job that Recruit Express found for me is beginning tomorrow. 5 day work week, 8.30am-5.30pm job as an admin assistant at The Siemens Centre. I'm not sure about what exactly I have to do till I go report for work tomorrow. Anyway, when I went down to check out the area, the Siemens building is extremely huge. Moreover, my consultant asked me to look for a person in the huge buidling! Hopefully I can find her, vice versa. Unless Siemens continue to employ me, this job asssignment officially ends on the 29 Feb 2009. Please let everything go smooothly...

Yesterday, i got the chance to step into a 6 star hotel. It was the Swiss Hotel at raffles city. My uncle's friend's daughters from thai was here for holiday. So our cousins sought of accompanied them around. Then we sent them back to their 6 star hotel. The view of their room is absolutely completely awesome and breath taking. I have never seen the esplanade's from so high above at the 31st floor, except on TV? We bought a slice of cake for my cousin, Lynda, for her birthday. But they couldn't find any lighters/matches in the hotel room so the candle wasn't lighted. To conclude it was fun spending time with my cousins and also the tourists.

2008-12-18T22:10:00.002+08:00

Went to another recruit express at ngee ann city tower A today with Shimin. The person said the same thing to us and asked us to wait for results.

Twilight, the movie, is quite interesting, especially if you enjoy vampire themes.

2008-12-13T12:45:00.002+08:00

I have created a Facebook account(I know I am slow). If you are free, you can add me.
I'm going Malaysia tomorrow. It is just a one day trip to eat and walk around so pardon me if I didn't reply to your messages. Most probably not going to bring my phone along.

2008-12-11T13:45:00.003+08:00

Yesterday my sis and I accompanied my father to Mount E to have his ear checked. The doctor said his nerve is deteriorating and his hearing is not as good as before.For your information, my father is 50 years old this year. A age which is too young for his ears to be not functioning well. The doctor also mentioned that this may be due to genetic reasons. He may eventually need to put on hearing aid. I think I will reduce earphone usage and activities that are gonna harm my ear from now on. Our five senses are all so important so do protect them from young.

I am still an unemployed. The economy outlook is real bad. Be happy that you have a job now. All those jobs that I went interview needed prior experience. How am I gonna get any job experience when nobody wants to give me a chance? I'm sicked of this society. If I still can't find any admin jobs, I may consider other options.

2008-12-02T13:06:00.002+08:00

Today my consultant called me again. I thought she wanted to say something like the OCBC bank accepted me or what. But instead she say that the person takes a long time to get back to her so she ask me whether I want to try another job at changi airport. This one will be working with tiger airways and replying complaint emails(sounds interesting). 5 working days. The working hours is from 8.30am to 5.30pm. I asked her to send my details down and see whether there will be an interview for me.

I am going to cook dinner for the family later. Yup, just cooking. My mum prepared all the stuffs so I am just going to cook. Peanuts and "lian ou" soup plus something like clay pot rice just that it is cooked in rice cooker.

2008-12-01T17:49:00.002+08:00

After considering, I have decided that if they are gonna employed me, I will work for them first. The reason being I need some experience before I can switch to any better jobs. But that is given that they are willing to hire me. So now I will wait for news from my consultant.

Hopefully everyone's doing well. Haven't seen most of them for quite some time...

2008-11-28T22:13:00.001+08:00

Perhaps being a data entry assistant is not my cup of tea. I had to struggle through the day. Time pass extremely slowly. Is it that tough to find a suitable job?

2008-11-26T11:12:00.002+08:00

I am having a one day job trial with OCBC bank on friday form 10am to 8pm! Hopefully I can get this job please.

When I almost feel like giving up, I see hope again...

2008-11-24T21:44:00.002+08:00

Last friday, I was being called down last minute for an interview to work for starhub as a temp. Despite having a hard time trying to look for the placce, the interview was alright.

I spend my saturday and sunday at home doing things which I enjoyed. Finally, I have time to relax.

I went to k box with Shimin and Lee Lian. I had a great time. Hopefully, the both of you too. I think my voice isn't that bad right?

No news from agent...

2008-11-19T19:44:00.003+08:00

Looking for a job is not so easy, especially it is the recession period now. I went recruit express and Kelly services with Shimin today. They all say it is difficult for the both of us to work together. What if nobody eat lunch with me or the people do not treat me nicely? That will be like so sad. No working experience and being not good at Microsoft Excel puts me at disadvantage. Hopefully I can find a job soon, please? I'm like so exhausted only after 1 day of job search...

2008-11-18T14:58:00.004+08:00

Yesterday was Waraku Ladies Night with my beloved family(No guys). Waraku is currently having this ladies night promotion(which is 50% off the total bill, strictly no guys allowed on the same table and you need to have at least 4 girls) till the end of this year. There was delicious food and more delicious food. I had sukiyaki udon which my sister ordered for me. No pictures cause I was too hungry.Had lots of fun and laugther whenever I am with them. Below are some pictures.

Last Day of 'A' levels...

I had my last paper which was H1 physics paper 1. The paper was manageable - relative to chemistry paper 1. This year's 'A' level papers were generally tougher than last year's, especially for Math. But I really did what I could. I don't remember that putting in so much effort for my 'O' levels. I was quite overwhelmed by some of the questions in the paper and remained in a state shock after the papers. For example, there were no environmental, poverty, crime & punishment questions for GP. If I remember correctly, our teachers said environment is quite a hot topic. Not just our school but many other schools too. All the questions that came out were like Geog orientated. Moreover, paper 2's passage was on history! I strongly believe I have did what I could at the very instant of the exams. Nervous is a feeling that I think most people will have. My palms were so sweaty that I had to blow them like those table tennis players we see on the TV. No exaggeration. So moderation please?

This 'A' level thingy is over for now. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has wished me good luck and all the best for this major exam. You have boosted my confidence and made me felt better. Sorry for not being able to reply to your tags. Meet up soon. Thanks to my family memebers for being there too!

For the time being, I'm trying to look for a job. Hopefully the people out there are nice =)

2008-10-31T11:24:00.002+08:00

The Big 'A's...

To all dearest friends and family members

This would probably gonna be the very last post before the 'A' levels. I believe my fellow friends are all working very hard. Let's continue to work hard for this next few weeks.

For your information, the first paper(which is GP), starts on the 3rd of Nov. My last paper is on 18 Nov(Physics paper 1). The war for me is going to last for three weeks.

All the best to everyone including me. May the force be with you.

2008-10-23T16:22:00.002+08:00

Hope everyone is coping well with their lives.

As I was on my way home, I thought about how amazing it was that I met this friend twice in a month(for your info she stays in punggol while I'm in tp). Like what she said, I was the one who notice her both times(probably because she wasn't wearing specs??). The first time was when on my way to buy lunch and we were approaching each other. It was like in the movies. I called her and she went with me to get my lunch. The meeting brighten up my mood for the rest of the day(as you see I wasn't in a very good mood). The second time was on the bus. I called her again. Both of us were so shocked and thrilled that we met for the second time.

No matter how sad or angry you are, when you turn back, your family and true friends will always be there. Unconditionally...

PS: The girl is Yuye.

2008-10-09T18:34:00.002+08:00

Mr Au asked why are we repeating the same mistakes we made over and over again. I wonder why too. I'll reflect, Mr Au!

I went for Math Mock exam today. Didn't do as well as I did for statistics as I didn't really prepare for it. But I 'm still proud of myself that I can do questions that I previously could not. Thanks to my dearest Lee Lian for always being there for me. I really feel like telling you my problems. But after seeing the problems you faced, mine is nothing.

Sometimes I ask myself, why am I am spending so much time on people who will not spend time on me. Not even 1 cared about whether I'll be alone or not. The last day is coming. Finally.

By the time I finish 'A' levels, the 3 things that I gained will be perseverance, determination and true friendship.

Happy Mooncake/Lantern Festival!

Yesterday, we all went to Aunt Brenda's House at Ballota Park to celebrate the mooncake festival. Ironically, I think we didn't even ate a piece of mooncake and there was no moon! Our family had 2 tables beside the pool. Anyway, the food prepared was all very nice especially the chocolate fondue, noodles, curry chicken and chin chow. Family gatherings are most of the time about eating and chatting.

Tomorrow is the start of the new collapsed time table and I'm ending school at 9.30am on Mondays. The school isn't going to keep track of late coming, truancy and we are not having assemblies anymore. All this sounds like the school is giving us more space and freedom. But on our part, we would still need to be responsible and attend school on time and everyday because the teachers would most probably be doing revisions!

2008-09-03T21:17:00.002+08:00

Went to TM to watch 12 lotus with my sister and mother. The show was not as bad as what some people said. But 881 was still better as it had lesser loopholes and the story had a more logical flow. My sister and mother bought their clothes at Espirit while I gave them my comments.

Prisoner of Love - Utada Hikaru

One of the best Jdrama I have watched - Last Friends. Catch it if you are free. I'm finishing watching it.

Happy Teachers' Day.

Went out with some 4e7 people today for lunch at pizza hut. Been quite some time since I last saw them. They're still as cranky and a fun bunch of people as usual.

Iris and I followed Lee Lian to Ikea to get some stuffs. Long time since we talked and laughed like this. I've forgotten hwo long it was when we used to laugh,talk and crack jokes.

Asknlearn screwed up again. I was trying to the current affairs thing but the question loaded halfway and poof "Internet Explorer Cannot Display the Page".!!!

2008-08-27T15:41:00.002+08:00

Prelims are OVER!

So let's not talk about it...

On Monday, my beautiful purple pouch said goodbye to me. I think I've used it for more than 1 year. During the break between the Econs and Phy paper, the handle of the zip came off. The zip got stuck and so is my phone in the pouch. In order to take out my phone, I cut the pouch(using my own hands!). Getting a new pouch soon.

Went to eat lunch with Lee Lian. Long long time never eat lunch with her already. Hope you enjoyed yourself (:

I miss Iris and Shimin a lot a lot!!!

Before you start reading this post, you're informed that this is an update by W3ndy, on behalf of the blog owner, Winine.

The events run according to the nearest to date to the furthest from date of this post entry.

Last saturday, I went Kangoo Blading with my sis and cousins. It was very enjoyable and I'd great fun though this sport can be quite tiring. The sport is like hopping around like kangaroos. Haha.

My sis tried to be captured while in mid air but failed. I didn't dare to jump too high.
My cousins and I

A close up on the shoes.

Finally 4 of us appeared in a photo!

Photo taken by my sis's camera and it was edited in the camera.

My sis and I went for a hair cut together and had our dinner at P@st@ de W@r@ku. She ate the sukiyaki spaggetti which tasted fantastic!

Watched something quite meaningful just now. Go to http://www.tudou.com/playlist/kimyo/ page number 6. Select 'Tou Ming De Yi Tian" and watch it. Just realised that many a times we are like the female lead actor. We don't like to express out what we don't like cause we don't dare to. Sometimes when I see my fellow friends bullying or making awful remarks at my friend, i don't even have the courage to protect my friend because I'm afraid that I would be their next target. When I don't agree with the way they do things, again I don't have the confidence to tell them my point. I'm just a coward. I can only just stand at the side and listen what they say and my heart would ask me to do it. Scold them. Bang the table and tell them they're wrong. But I can only just sit there and do nothing about it.

Everyone's busy today. They all seem to have things to do be it after school or work. Going out with their friends. My sister having dinner with her colleagues. My parents going for wedding dinner. Everyone except me. But sometimes being alone is something enjoyable too. You get to think about life and relationships.

Am I a good friend? Sometimes, I wonder. Maybe I'm not, cause I don't even have the courage to protect my friend. I'm sorry, friend.

What?! Holidays Are Over?

2008-06-22T20:39:00.002+08:00

Holidays is gonna be over in a few hours time. Despite starting to do my homework earlier and trying to complete them, I still have some unfinished. But I'm quite proud of myself this time. At least I try not to do things at the very last minute. Still feel a little disappointed that I didn't manage to finish everything. When school reopens, there'll be lots of tests. the worst thing is there's writing practice tomorrow! I'm so sick of it already. Nevertheless, we would need to face reality.

Goodbye Holidays and welcome the busy School Days...

2008-06-15T12:35:00.002+08:00

Friday...
Went New York New York for dinner with my sister and Biao Jie aka Ah Bee Jie Jie. She treated us to dinner. After that we went to the E-hub now K-box. Tenny couldn't join us cause she said Wesley's brother had some award ceremony and she had to attend. Although 2 hours of singing doesn't really seem enough, we had lots of fun.

Yesterday...
Woke up at 6.40am and prepared myself to go to Toa Payoh for the Metta Welfare Association Flag Day. Actually Toa Payoh is not that far as I though it would be. It is nearer than Millenia Institute. So I ended up reaching there at 8.30am. The meeting time was 8.55am. I bought a bread from breadtalk to eat while waiting for my friends. Anyway, I was quite disappointed that some of my friends either pang seh OR they really have something on and didn't turn up. The worst part is that I didn't know till my classmate asked me why ain't they coming. And I told him I don't even know that they are not coming so how will I know the reason why they are not coming.

Packing up my emotions, I proceeded with Jac and Shang Yong to collect our tins to begin collecting money. We walked the wrong way and reported to the booth at 9.10am. On the way there, we saw Sin Yee. We split into 2 groups. Jac and Shang Yong, and Sin Yee and me. I still remember my first coin was put by a Malay boy and he took it from his own wallet. He donated a dollar. Then, we went to the area outside NTUC in the HDB hub since there wasn't much crowd near the reporting counter.

Ying Zhen came a little late and joined us. I finished my stickers at around 2 hours later. We got hungry and went Mac to eat. After which, Geraldine and Pearlyn came. Started the collection to help finish the last page of stickers. We signed out at around 12.50pm. Didn't see Jac again because they went Ang Mo Kio.

Met Jie at Orchard. We ate lunch at Wasabi Teh before proceeding to the Robinson's sales. Had to walk a distance from Far East to Robinson. We bought some lingerie at good prices. Then, we took train to city hall to go to the PC show. My Jie wanted to buy her digital camera. Papa came to meet us at suntec too. Luckily she already narrowed down which brand she wanted. It was either Sony or Canon. Sony offered real good free gifts and the camera was slimmer. The free gifts include 1 extra battery, two 4 GB memory card, 1 cleaning kit, 1 skin protector, 1 garskin and 1 genuine leather casing for the camera. The camera is Touch screen with 10.1 mega pixels. It costs $649 in total. The person showed my sister all the functions for quite a long time. Papa and i were standing at the side feeling bored. In the end, she bought the Sony T300 Digi Camera. Went Bedok interchange for dinner.

Sometimes I tell myself don't think too much, but it keeps happening.
What is friendship?
Or there isn't any in the first place?

2008-06-08T09:22:00.001+08:00

Nice show to catch. Pretty entertaining. Though the male lead may look a little like Ming Dao, he is not. He is Ethan Ruan Jin Tian.

Many things happened. Be it pleasant or unpleasant between friends and all.

Apologetic to Rebecca. Though is is not my fault that she fell down. But when this kind of thing happens, I always feel that I have failed to protect my friend during this kind of circumstances. Like what happened to Vanessa last year...

Mr Cello is home after so many days of rotting in the CO room. Long time since he's been home.

What are we? Liabilities of this society, this earth, this universe. Robots controlled by other people but not ourselves.

I went to Ms Seow's wedding at Cornerstone Church. It's quite faraway from Tampines. As usual, a lot of people last minute couldn't make it. Ms Seow was gorgeous and the groom was nice too. Wonderful couple. This is the second time I have attended a church wedding. They both happen to be in this year. The first was Mr Neo's wedding. Anyway, congratulations to Ms Seow (or we should now address her as Mdm Seow/Mrs Leow?:))

As expected, no one send me the SL reflection despite saying that it is by Saturday. I guess they have totally forgotten about it. Need to remind them again! Life is full of disappointments. Is it really that hard to remember what I say? Am I that oblivious?

Looking forward to the mothers' day dinner this coming Saturday.

All the best to Lee Lian for her Choir concert at the esplanade.

Saddened am I. Guilt-stricken am I. Disappointed am I.

What is life?

I asked this question many times.

I pondered real hard.

But never did I get a satisfactory answer.

I did my SL third session with the kids today. Had lots of fun. I enjoyed my time with Nicholas. Though most of the time the time he seems to be in his own world, I hope at least he can feel my presence. I believe if you promised to commit into something, you should. Practice what you preach. Do the best you can cause I know humans ain't perfect.

I am super irritated with tpjc LMS. One moment you access the file and the next you can't. I printed my notes for vectors independent learning 1 halfway through! Could have done something productive with my precious time!!!

I had my 18th birthday yesterday.

The day didn't start off really well as I was late for school. I was at the bus stop at 7.05am and every bus(only number 27) that came was full of people.Finally, a 168 came at 7.33am which means I'll be 99% late for school. When I boarded the bus, some TPJCians were still stucked at the bus stop waiting for bus. Upon reaching school, I had to queue up and get my ez-ink scanned. The person said 1st time late so she didn't continue to nag.

My classmates wished me happy birthday, some give me presents and lessons continued as usual.

After chemistry ended, 3 of my classmates went out of the classroom. I thought they went to toilet. Then, they came in with a cake in their hands. I felt so pai seh. Thank you to all my classmates the wonderful day and especially; Jacqueline, Jan, Tian Ying, Bahvani, Zhijuan for the presents.

Later on, I went to meet my sec school friends; Lee Lian, Shimin, Yuye. They wanted to treat me to dinner at fish & co. I ordered the New York Fish n Chips and it was delicious. The serving was generous(in girls point of view). We also ordered the free flow kola tonic. I ate and drank to my satisfaction. Ziying(her birthday is on 2nd may too) came to meet us for dinner too. We ask for refilll of the drink, over and over again. Shimin left earlier as she wasn't feeling well and she had curfew. Another cake blowing and eating session after Ziying finished her dinner. The fish & co. staff made us stand on the chair while they sang birthday song for us. We got our 10% discount! Thanks girls for the wonderful night :)

My dad and mum prepared birthday cake for me this year. The cake was a durian cake from Angie The Choice(my dad's favourite). So I blew cake again and ate again. My family also bought me a new swatch watch. Love them :) Pictures soon to come...

2008-04-29T20:19:00.001+08:00

I ran and ran. I think I've never ran like this before in my life at least from what I can remember. I wanted to look for Winine. The old Winine whom I used to be... ...

2008-04-27T23:42:00.002+08:00

Hello there

If you're planning to get me something for my birthday, please buy something that can be used. For example, no more soft toys/toys for me because i'm turning 18 already. Too old for all these stuffs. Just plain suggestions for my beloved friends out there(No offence or anything =) Thank you to friends out there in advance!

2008-04-22T18:02:00.000+08:00

I'm super duper busy!

2008-04-05T14:18:00.006+08:00

Last Week...

On Monday, school and CO as usual till 7 plus to 8 like that because we had to discuss some stuffs.

On tuesday, the earliest day to go home. No CO and extra lesssons. Went home at 3pm after econs lesson. Settled CO camp things. Last minute notice came that we have to help out at SNYO International Artise Series Concert on Thursday as usherers.

On wednesday, school and CO as usual. Discuss and confirm camp stuff. Prepared camp stuffs and make sure everything is alright.

On thursday, left class at 4pm to take cab with my friends to Victoria Concert Hall to help out as usherers for the Concert. We were briefed on what we were supposed to do before dinner. The dinner was packed food which consisted of fried rice, chicken and some vegetables. We met Shauna during dinner. She's from SNYO. Been a long time since we last saw her. After dinner, we went to the places that we were designated to. I was situated outside the lift to guide the VIPs into the reception hall.

We were entitled to watch the concert after everyone went in to the concert hall.

Then, interval came. We had to help serve the people. Vanessa and I had to serve them with drinks. This was my first time serving people. The experience was quite okay. The fun part came when the interval ended and they went back to their seats to watch the concert. What to do with the leftover food? Of course not waste all of it right. We got the permission to finish them. And the food was seriously not bad.

Yum Yum =P

Some people even brought the food home as there were styrofoam packets to store the food.

Some pictures taken:

On our way home.

Overall, helping out there was a good experience and exposure for me. Met interesting persons. I remember there was a lady who was so pro that she can tell what exactly is the song the SNYO is playing from the reception room before the interval when I couldn't even hear anything from the room! Everything ended at around 10 plus and we had to take train home from Raffles place.

On Friday, school and Service learning after school. My class's service learning was to planned activities to do with the kids at Metta Preschool. We went to observe them quite some time ago before our SA. This time round was to conduct the activity. The kids there were really adorable. Although things didn't really turn out the way we want, we still enjoyed the session with the kids. The person-in-charge there spoke to us and asked whether we are interested in becoming a teacher over there next time. She told us her first job was an engineer before she went to Melbourne university to study to change her career. SL was a fruitful trip.

Came back to school for CO camp. When I wen inside CO room, they were already playing the coordinate game so it was a bit awkard when I stepped in. Anyway, I observed them playing and felt very tired. Shan't go into the camp details. The night walk was fun though I did not participate.

Camp lasted till saturday afternoon. I bought lunch downstairs. Ate my lunch, bathed and collapsed on my bed till 7pm. After which, my sister and I went to Ubi. The week ended with me staying home on Sunday.

As for this week, school and CO were as usual.

Here's Me playing cello during sectionals last last week.

Did anyone of you use to have this at home?

I just thrown this away to make room for things. Remember my sister and I use to have lots of fun playing this many many years ago. Haha. But now it can't be connected to our tv anymore.

2008-03-31T21:49:00.002+08:00

Just now when I came home at about 8.30pm. The house was empty and quiet. From what I can remember, during a timing like 8pm everyone would be at home. But seems like everyone is busy with work and school.

Anyway, I ran for 4x400m for my class. Though we didin't make it into the top 3 for heats 1, we seriously did quite well. After today, I think I won't be running 400m again. My legs went wobbly and wanted to black out after 400m of runnning like nobody's business. Actually, i wanted to update about what happened last week which was a very very packed week. But as usual time doesn't permit me to do so. Hence, I shall do it next time when I'm more free. Now I am going to pack my bag and maybe do some tutorials before going to bed!

2008-03-21T21:49:00.001+08:00

Hey people, I cut my hair today. And it's super short now. Don't be shocked if u run into me.

Semestral Assesment is OVER!
The exam period lasted for a total of 4 days on 7 march and from 17 to 19 march.

Meeting my friends for dinner later at Ikea.
Time to relax a bit and don't think about homework, CCA ... ...

Drifting off!

2008-03-09T21:01:00.002+08:00

Hello everyone.

Long time since I last updated. Nothing interesting happened this few weeks so I didn't update (just an excuse for being lazy). Haha. Actually I also seldom use the computer these days. All the tutorials, assigments and tests kept me busy all this while. When school reopen there'll be exams coming up. Since tomorrow I won't have be wake up at 6am, I shall update on some interesting stuffs that happened.

On the 7 of March, I had my first major exam paper for the year. The teachers say it is the semestral exams. But the thing is it's just half of the semestral gone and they call it the semestral exams. Anyway, it was my econs paper. The paper lasted for 2 hours. After the paper, I went home for lunch and rest for awhile. Then I went back to school for an excursion to the water hub. Long time since I have been onto an excursion since secondary school days. Though the trip wasn't as exciting and fun, it reminds me of excursions I had long time ago.

After water hub, our class went back to get our mother tongue A level results. By this time most of our friends had already gotten their results back. As I was on the bus back to school, I was thinking what if I didn't get an A. I still remember last year when I got back my O level results slip, I saw my higher chinese grade. It was a C6. Never in my life did I get anything lower than a B for my chinese langauge. Chinese was one subject that I can always do well in. But deep down my heart I know that I did not do my best for the paper on that day. So I told myself I wanted to take Chinese again if I get into a JC. Chinese lessons were very fun with my Yao Lao Shi and also my chinese lesson companion, Jacqueline. We would always annswer teacher's question. I knew that if I didn't get an A, I would not only be letting Lao Shi down but also myself.

As Mr New is passing the result to me, I saw "Merit" for oral on the paper. I thought I am gone. But when I saw the A on the result slip, I was very touched and happy. My chinese lesson companion also got her A. Some people cried and some were not happy about their results. Some people went to look for their chinese teacher to discucss whether they should take chinese again. To all who are considering retaking chinese(I don't think they will read my blog but nevertheless...): If you trust that you will definitely do better than what you did, go for the second chance. Like what Mr New say, "Chinese is the only subject where you can have a second chance to try."

I would like to take this opportunity to thanks all my friends and family for their support. Without you guys I would not have done it.

I saw this inspirational quote on teevee some days ago and felt like sharing it with you all.
Be the change you want to see in this world. - Mahatma Gandhi

Work hard for the upcoming exams.
We can do it!
Let's aim for all As, act and achieve it!

2008-02-19T21:29:00.001+08:00

This week is a busy busy week!!! Lack of enough sleep...

Happy Chinese New Year to all!

Chinese new year this year is a bit different this year because we visiting lesser places. Although the hong bao money we collected is about the same, the places that we went to was not as many as previous years. But we ate a lot of good food this few days! On the 'chu xi ye', my family had steamboat for a few hours infront of tv. The first day we ate delicious vegetarian food prepared by my ah ma for lunch. As for dinner, my ah ghim cooked many dishes and we ate to our fill. On the second day, we went to Gu Ma house for lunch. She made Yu Sheng, steamboat and traditional paranakan curry chicken. I ate till I was bloated. At night, my ah ghim cooked for us again. Today, we ate instant noodles for lunch and went to choon seng punggol seafood restaurant at changi to have our dinner. Their chilli crab was very very nice! The gravy is the best with mantou. All the food adds to the fats and calories. It's just so sinful.

Here are some pictures taken.

Didn't manage to take the rest of the food cause we are just simply too hungry. More pictures coming up if I have the time. Anyway, there is no CO for next week due to CNY. Means I can go home early on mon and wed. Happy CNY. 1 more day left to enjoy =)

2008-01-29T20:01:00.000+08:00

Many many things happened last week.
And many many things are gonna happen this week too.

Take a look at http://ahnielle.blogspot.com for more details on this week's schedule.

I like our CO's new cello instructor. I didn't realise I was playing cello wrongly until yesterday's practice. This is mainly because i had not played and practice a lot during the holidays. My right thumb and left index is hurting now. Especially my left index finger. Just applying a little pressure would hurt a lot. But no choice, I can't put on plaster as it will affect my performance. So I think I should type so much and go and do my homework...

PS: Ayumi's new song Marionette is very nice!

Hi I'm finally back. As usual when school reopens, will be busy with schoolwork, CO and spending time with my family and friends. So I didn't really have the time to blog(cause of tiredness and laziness).

Schoolwork had nothing special happening. We changed our conductor and instructors for CO. Our cello instructors is the SL for SCO. Whenever she plays demo for us, I'll be mesmerized cause it's is really very very nice. Imagine that normally we have to pay a lot to hear her play in concert. Now she is just right infront of us playing. But we must admit she is really a better teacher then the instructor we had previously and so is our new conductor. Hopefully TPJCO will achieve what we want in the next SYF. Currently, we are preparing for the CNY performance. The songs that we are performing will be Yao Zu Wu Qu and Feng Nian Ji.

Speaking about CNY, so far I have only bought 3 bottoms for CNY. No tops yet. Shopping is a real tired thing to do especially when you don't find something nice. What about you all?

2008-01-05T17:01:00.000+08:00

School reopened! It's the number 14th time school reopened for me if I remember correctly so don't really have any special feelings. Same old thing; why is the holiday so short? Haha. All our class teachers remained the same except for econs. Our new teacher is Miss Liew and not Miss D Tan anymore. Miss Liew is said to be the prettiest econs teacher by Miss Tan(not D Tan). Haven't really had any interaction with her yet cause all the lessons are used for lectures.

The assembly on first day of school was held in the courtyard. I saw Lee Lian and Keyang but didn't manage to say hi because they were quite far away from me. Met Meizhen and Kailin the following days. Seriously hope that Meizhen is doing well in S18.

CO is starting on Monday. Heard that there's 2/3 cellists joining among the 20 PAE j1s. May they have a enjoyable first 1 and half months in our school.

Reply tags here:
To ahnielle: Okay I'll try :)
To lazygirl: Yea girl. Last time use to always eat together. Seldom have lunch with Lee Lian too cause she's on diet now. monday what time you ending?

2007-12-31T16:38:00.000+08:00

Do you like strawberry on cake?

Do you finish the cake first before eating the strawberry?

Have you ever wonder why do you do that?

I also leave my strawberry for last.

But I never asked myself why because I don't know why too.

Yesterday, 4E7 had our chalet and bbq at Pasir Ris, Coasta Sands. I really had a good time with those peeps. The food was nice and professionally cooked by our class's guys. I only took part ine th eating process. It's been a long time since we are able to play and chat with each other. After graduating, we only get to meet with each other only a few times a year. Last time we see one another everyday in school. Those days were really cool and fun to go to school. Anyway, the chalet was fun.

Many thanks to Xiaoli jie (my sister's friend) for lending us the Microsoft office package. Now my PC has microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, ... etc. Also thanks to Lee Lian for wanting to lend me the package too. Thank you everyone.

2007-12-21T13:00:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone.

Just had the last CO practice with our teachers on wednesday. From next year, we will be having new instructors and conductor.

A few days ago our computer bid farewell to us. Yesterday, my dear loving sister revived it by doing a system recovery. So now everything's gone. No more Microsoft office, pictures, files,......etc. The bad thing is I haven't print some of my holiday stuffs as a result my dear cute loving sister have to secretly help me print during work. Feel so bad. I need microsoft word to print stuffs! Anyone has microsoft office package and can lend it to me?

We're having 4e7 class chalet and bbq tomorrow =)

2007-12-10T20:37:00.000+08:00

It's the 100th blog post for my blog!

Firstly, would like to congratulate Mr Albert Neo for getting married on the 8 december 2007. The wedding was beautiful. He finally got married after lying us that we got to be good kids cause if he gets complains, his pay will be cut and will have not enough to feed his wife and kids from we were sec 3 to sec 4. It was also the first time I went into church. The church is just like those that I see on TV.

Serious =)

Twist! =D

"Winine, Winine! Do you have extra scores for xxxx?" This is a sentence I often hear during CO practice.

Had CO practice again today. As a QM for scores, I have my responsibility and I am not trying to escape from my responsibility. That is to make sure that every individual in CO has a set of scores.Therefore, I believe after photocopying scores for you. The responsibility of bringing it is rightfully yours and not for me to remind you or provide you with another set of scores. I feel that if anyone of you is in my shoes will understand why(I swear that I am not pointing at anyone in particular.). Maybe I could suggest to upstairs to ask people to leave their scores in CO room unless they want to bring them home for practice. However, I understand that sometimes people are not on purpose or that this can discourage people from bring scores home to practice.

Solution 1

Leave the scores in school or to your dearest SL to keep for you. Only bring them home when you need to practice. However, remember to bring them back on the next practice!!!

Solution 2

After we distribute the scores to you, photocopy a set on your own to keep it at home so that you can keep a set in school.

Solution 3

Fine people who forgets?

Solution 4

SL to remind all members to bring scores every practice?

Personally, I would prefer solution 2 if you are a person who practices at home. It is always safer to keep a copy at home and in school. But I am not saying that everyone has to remember their scores for every practice. I understand that people do make mistakes even myself. However, some people always forgets. But I would not be so bad not to provide you with scores if that day happens to be your unlucky day. Solution 1 do not really work because sometimes SL also falls sick and cannot go for practice. Who likes solution 3? SL's phone bill will be high for Solution 4.

Dear Meizhen/Keyang, after reading this please also give me some comments.

2007-12-04T10:19:00.000+08:00

I met Joseph when I went to the market to have breakfast with my mum. Actually if he didn't say hello to me, I would not have noticed him. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for quite some time ever since we have graduated. I was in the same class with him for 4 years during Secondary School and I think he didn't say hello to me before. Haha.

Yesterday was this holiday's first CO practice. Keyang said that I didn't ask her out to watch Hero. I am so sorry. There is only 4 free tickets. Don't be angry with me please. Anyway, as Reb, Van and me wanted to take music stands to start our practise, Mr Wong asked me to help Qihui(Jessica) to do some instrument stuffs. But I wanted to practise with them because it is within the practice time. I have lost quite a lot of time with them since I become QM, especially during the dover park practices as I have to run here and there to print scores. If i don't help Jessica, then I should not be QM because it is part of my duty. It is just so tough to be a QM. Hopefully I can stay with Reb and Van, at the same time help Jessica. Don't feel like hurting any party.

Some times I find that I am very blur or pure lazy. I tend to find out that there's some outing/activity after they have happened. For example, the puzzle making session and the lunch with Ronale. I only found out when I have visited people's blog. So it is like whenever there's class outing or what, Lee Lian will have to inform me or else I would not know.

Recently, I have been watching Hong Kong TVB Dramas. The actors and actresses all look good and can act and singing too. Stars like Raymond Lam, Bosco Wong, Kevin Cheng, Linda Chung, Myolie, Tavia ... ...

Below is a clip of Raymond Lam and Linda Chung in the show Heart of Greed

I went out with a friend of mine today. We went Ikea, Courts and Giant to walk walk. Didn't really buy anything from Courts and Ikea. In Giant, I found out that they sell the same type of ball point pen(Pilot G1) that I use for very very cheap. Normal book shops sell the pen at $1.30. But guess what... Giant sells 2 for $1.40. That is like half the price!

As I was walking in Giant, my dear Wendy junior messaged me to say that the cello bass barbeque is today and that we are meeting at 4.15pm. It give me a shock as I clearly remembered that it is tomorrow. Nevertheless, I went home and wanted to change before attending the bbq. As the computer was on, I went online to check whether it's tomorrow or today. In the end, it is tomorrow as Wendy thought today was 28 November. Misunderstanding is cleared. She is just so blur and made me confused too.

What a funny day I had =))

All Good Things (Come To An End) By Nelly Furtado lyrics

Honestly what will become of me
don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is daily
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming

[Chorus:]Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dustLovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tuneHoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away
for a day 'til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and
the rain forgot how to bring salvation
the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die.

Woots! Tomorrow is the last day of the lectures and holidays are starting soon. I have been playing bridge with my classmates these 2 days and most probably tomorrow too. I think we played bridge for like around 5 hours plus? This is because we always have a long break in between the first and second lecture. But we only have 2 lectures per day. This gives me a chance to bond with some of my classmates and make up for some of the time lost due to CO SYF and stuffs. Bridge is a really fun game to play with friends( To Lee Lian: It's not puah kiao).

Anyway, I am currently watching a drama serial named Heroes. It is also aired on Channel 5 every monday at 10pm. But they only air an episode per week. The show is quite addictive and would make you wanna found out more and more. If you are keen to watch the show or just have nothing much to do, it can be found on http://www.tudou.com/ . Just type Heroes and go to page 76 to find episode 1 to start off the amazing journey with humans with supernatural powers. I will strongly recommend you to watch it in the afternoon or finish loading the episode in the noon. Because unless you have high speed internet connection, it is quite immpossible to load the show at night. Nice show to catch!

Some of my friends are leaving for Shan Dong trip tonight. Wish them all the best and really have lots of fun in Shan Dong. I most likely won't be going overseas this School Holiday and plus CO is only starting in December. So hopefully I will enjoy myself in Singapore.

Lessons will end next Thursday and after maybe I would want to meet up with my dear friends to have some fun. If not, I will rot at home.

2007-11-05T21:01:00.000+08:00

My Oral Presentation is over. Perphaps it is due to the number of practices we had, I was not as nervous as I thought I would be. The overall performance was alright. But it was somehow expected that I will suck at the question and answer part. I went a bit off track. Oh well, the assessment is over and we cannot do anything about the marks that we are going to get right? So let's look forward to the up coming days.

We will know our results on Wednesday. Following that are extra lectures during this 1 and half week. The last of school will be on the 15 of November. CO will start on around 19 November and we will have 2 practices per week. Let's look forward to the holidays.
