  • AWW the butterfly is already in my stomach bugging me.

    I'm kind of worried for Sailing tomorrow.

    AHH hopefully I'll survive!

    Anyways, we had our Creative Thinking discussion today and I definitely have to say it's one of the most productive discussions we ever had! Haha!

    And did I mention my Creative Thinking teammate, Jonathan gave me this damn nice pencil case?! It's damn nice seriously. AHH so loving it :)

    Oh gosh, I'm so glad it's Friday seriously! TGIF :)

    Anyways, Arlene Elisabeth is definitely one of the funniest person I've ever met!

    We got back our IT in Business paper today.

    And look what I found on her paper!


    See, she wrote 'I don't know' in 4 languages and my tutor even attempt to give her 2 marks for that! Haha! So cute!


    And this, 'Teacher, pass me please. I give you cookie."

    HAHA. Wah lau, she wants to bribe with cookies??!

    Arlene Elisabeth, all the best for your re-test! Jia you!

  • I have been getting comments on being much tanner since I joined Sailing. Hah!

    Friends commented.

    Then, I went to the optician to ask some stuff and she commented how tanned I am.

    And Joshua was mentioning yesterday that I got much tanner since the first Physical Training.

    Okay, I can see the difference myself, but being tanned isn't a bad thing, is it?

    Hmm, hopefully I won't regret someday. Haha!

    School wasn't that tiring, surprisingly.

    Nigel and I were like having a food fiesta during lecture after lunch! Haha! Subway cookies :)

    My appetite was like crazy during lunch; I was craving for economical rice, Subway, chicken burger, Korean food and Japanese food. Wahh, I practically wanted to eat everything sold in Makan Place. Haha!

    But ended up with Subway. WAHH the queue was insane!

    Anyways, came home and replied e-mails and the school's server is driving me crazy! Argh.

    Aww, my hands are feeling so sore after training yesterday.

  • I survived another week!

    Okay, just got back from Sailing Physical Training and it wasn't as bad as the previous weeks, surprisingly.

    But fine, I was really breathing really hard during the 2.4 km run, and boy, how these people run like a leopard?!

    And I broke my glasses.  I felt so blind without glasses seriously, like everything is so blur and it can be quite frustrating to see things from a distance.

    I was talking to Ryan and we talked about bags and boy, the Porter ruck sack is so pretty! Aww, I was like in awe! Haha! But it is really pretty.

    Okay, but come to think of it, how often do I even use a back pack?!

    Barely.

    But it's really really pretty!

    Jia Qi, Ryan, Joshua and some others stayed after the training and oh boy, everyone was enjoying Ryan's ice-cream since he became an ice-cream man for a day! Haha! And Jia Qi's laughter was, 'WOW!' Haha! You get what I mean right?

    Seriously, we were all practically laughing at the way she laughs rather than her jokes! Haha!

    And she even laughed evilly at Khai Kit for his damaged slippers. AWW and I remembered my slipper was once damaged middle of nowhere and it can be so frustrating. Sigh.

    HMM it's been quite a hectic week I would say; with assignments piling up and the last thing I need right now is reminders from my Creative Thinking tutor on our deadlines. Sigh.

    I'm actually pretty disappointed to skip my last secondary school speech day. AWW it's quite disappointing though. I was so looking forward to meet Ee Xin, Dawn, Chin, Jamie, Sok Wai and everyone else! But in the end, I couldn't attend it myself. Sigh. (I'm imagining my name being called and some anonymous prefects would collect my certs for me )

    I know some of them will be quite disappointed in me for choosing my Sailing training over them. I'm so sorry girls. It's my second water training and I really don't want to skip it since it wouldn't be too good to miss it since I'm already like one of the weakest there.

    Ee Xin was already complaining to me the other day, 'Is your Sailing more important or are we more important?'

    And besides, there won't be air ticket available for me to come back to Singapore.

    And the last thing, dad won't be at home this weekend, so it's like going back home without a complete family.

  • The first thing I saw when I woke up this morning; 09:03

    And holy crap! My Business Statistics tutorial starts at 9.

    Can you even imagine?

    And the first thing I did; call Nigel and ask him inform my tutor.

    He told me Wen Rong will be late to since he's caught in a heavy traffic.

    And so, I called Wen Rong and asked where's he; Adam Road.

    I have a few minutes to play with to bathe and prepare myself.

    But how irony, I was still taking my time to choose what to wear to school! Hah!

    And Wen Rong was telling me to wait for him at Canteen 2 since he wants to get a cup of coffee to class.

    Wahh, imagine 2 latecomers coming to class with 2 cups of coffee!

    But he was smart enough to know that I don't take coffee and got me a cup of Iced Milo. Thanks Wen Rong! :)

    And anyway, I managed to meet up with him and we went into class together so that it would not be so awful. Haha!

    And the tutor assume that I'm also caught in heavy traffic since Wen Rong told her he's caught in a jam.

    Oh well, I bet my tutor doesn't know I live 7 minutes away from school! Haha!

    I wish I was braver.

    The wind and waves were crazy today; really aggressive.

    Had my first Sailing water training after my Basic Sailing Course and oh boy, the strong winds make me felt so fearful before Sailing. My stomach were aching like crazy in the morning. (Heh!)

    Even before going to sea, I had a horrible experience when the boom hit my head (again). Oh boy, the bruise which I got from last week's hit is still on the left side of my head  and today I got another hit on the right. Aww

    And boy, I tell you, I was so excited sitting at the back of the lorry actually! HAHA since it was my very first time, and I did enjoy the damn cool ride! We traveled from Tanah Merah to SAFYC Changi  sitting at the back of the lorry! Heh! It was like a Safari ride when we reached those bumpy roads! Haha!

    Come to think of it, I had quite a few of 'first time' stuffs in Sailing.

    For a person who never enjoyed sports, it wasn't easy for me (until now) during Physical Training, first time doing such vigorous exercise, first time Sailing, first time Sailing in rain during BSC, first time sitting at the back of the lorry.

    HMM, I don't consider myself Sailing in strong wind and waves for the first time because I was sitting at Khai Kit's boat today throughout training! Heh!

    Oh well, I doubt he'll read this, but thanks for the time in the laser today, Khai Kit !

    I was pretty looking forward, I mean I was so happy that I didn't need to sail, because I feel I'm really not prepared mentally.

    I mean I'm really still feeling pretty scared and all.

    But even while sitting in Khai Kit's boat, I was freaking freaked out. The waves and wind were really aggressive. I feel like I'm going to fall to the sea anytime.

    I find it so funny when the coach speaks. He speaks with this very strong accent and oh boy, my Chinese is already bad enough, plus the accent, I get nothing when he speaks!

    My arms are feeling so sore after doing push-ups after training today. I don't even get what the coach was saying, I just follow what the rest were doing. SIGH that's the problem with being a Chinese idiot.

    Anyways, some pictures we took last week's outing at Tampines.


    The girls :)


    Our masterpiece. HAH!


    Cheryl, Bernard, Siew Ling, Nigel and myself :)

  • If something anticipated arrives too late it finds us numb, wrung out from waiting, and we feel-nothing at all. The best things arrive on time.

    Dorothy Gilman, A New Kind of Country, 1978.

    No words could describe how I felt when I kept refreshing the page.

    I kept refreshing, refreshing and refreshing.

    The agony of waiting; the fear.

    Oh well, we got our IT in Business marks today by e-mail, and boy, most of my friends got it earlier, and the agony of waiting was so horrible!

    I kept refreshing the page, until my computer nearly went dead! Hah!

    I refreshed until I felt so numb when I got my results. AH, 4 more marks to Distinction.

    Indeed, the best thing arrives on time. Late things are never the best.

  • Nothing's better than the wind to your back, the sun in front of you, and your friends beside you.

    -Aaron Douglas Trimble-

    Such a beautiful quote, isn't it?

    I had Physical Training for Sailing this evening and man, it nearly killed me.

    Okay la, don't say I'm exaggerating. WAHH I was seriously on the verge of giving up during campus run.

    I was feeling, so lack of air. Hah!

    It was just, tiring.

    But thank God I didn't.

    I really know I shouldn't and I mustn't give up so easily.

    Thank you people for being so inspiring; Audrey, Melody, Jia Qi and the rest of the team, thanks for being so inspiring.

    But boy, those people can just run so fast! I wonder how they run.

    And we had two new girls joining us today. OH finally! Audrey from International Business and Li Wen from Marine Offshore or something.

    I tell you, John's reaction when he saw the 2 new girls was like, "Ka Yee, treat them better okay. It's so hard to get girls join the club and you finally have a company!"

    Aww, it sounded to pathetic!

    Ahh, anyways, it's really great to find some company. Oh well, at least I would now look forward for something.

    The process can be really painful, but the sense of satisfaction is, priceless.

  • Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy.

    Jacques Maritain (1882-1973, Reflections on America, 1958)

    I had a pretty short day in school; with only 2 hours of lesson.

    I had my wonderful afternoon nap at the school library with Lian Shi and Cheryl.

    I then came home, and that's where the tiring part starts.

    Since I had to move up to 24th floor today, so I had to clear and pack my stuff, which can be such a tiring process.

    I thank God for Eric for helping me to clean the new place and to carry heavy things for me and Suphatta.

    I'm feeling so tired, but I'm looking forward for the cosy living room to be ready in 2 weeks time.

    Okay, some pictures I mange to capture when Eric was cleaning the room for us. :)

    Thanks Eric!


    The view from our room.


    The bathroom.

    AHH tennis lesson at 8 am tomorrow.

  • Beneath words and logic are emotional connections that largely direct how we use our words and logic.

    -Jane Roberts-

    My mom used to say to me, "When you get older, you have to be wiser."

    But it always dawned upon me that I'm one year older every year, but not wiser.

    There are always incidents that make me lose control of myself; emotionally.

    And that's when I feel my self-control is really, bad.

    I've always admire people who can control themselves so well; their words, their actions, their thoughts.

    But it never happen to me.

    I find it so hard to control myself when incidents that make me unhappy happen.

    I just show how I feel, which I still think it isn't too good. I just speak out my thoughts. I just do whatever I thought of.

    I wish my Emotional Quotient was higher.

    Anyways, I'm supposed to be having Microeconomics class. But Jonathan Li is on leave on absence so yup, I'll be in school for Business Communication at 11am.

    WAAAAHHH it feels so good to start school at 11am! (HAH!) I don't even need to set the alarm clock. And I'll be meeting Lian Shi and some others for breakfast at McD. 

    And I'll be shifting up to 24th floor today! :)

  • It's really never easy to say a proper goodbye.

    Germaine just left and I really wanted to hold back my tears, but I just couldn't.

    It's merely 3 months, but it's really an awesome period of time living together under the same roof; having supper together at Al-Amin, together 'chiong-ing' our last minute assignment, doing our e-Learning quizzes, having meals together, telling her to help me solve all my never-ending stupid silly conflicts in school (Germaine is soon to be a psychologist btw) and she will be telling me, "Aiyo I haven reach that level yet la."

    And I'll ask her to help me hypnosize the people I dislike! (HAH, how silly is that!)

    I still remembered when I first met her, I would need her to repeat herself 2 to 3 times to get what she was trying to tell me.

    It's amazing how soft spoken she is, oh boy, her voice is, really soft!

    Germaine, it's been really great knowing you and I really hope you'll be able to adopt yourself well in KL (and in US later).

    May God bless you abundantly Germaine!



    May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

    -Irish blessings-

  • Elisabeth Kubler-Ross once said 'There is no need to go India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your bathtub.

    I wasn't exactly feeling too good today, my shoulder is getting pretty bad, I mean it's getting really disturbing with it aching so badly and feeling so heavy and I'm getting some bruises on my arms.

    And I didn't feel good after getting my Business Statistics paper. Okay, it wasn't exactly up to my expectation but oh wells, it's over.

    And the first two hours of school were so disastrous. I felt so tired and it feels like forever! GOSH

    And so, I went and catch a movie in the library after class and it was so funny! Army Daze; boy, I laughed like crazy and it feels so much better!

    And man, my shoulders are feeling terrible again.

  • "You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences."

    Constantine Peter Cavafy

    My weekend was pretty adventurous I would say. 

    I had my Basic Sailing Course for two consecutive days and man, I tell you, it's like one of the most adventurous things I've done in my whole life!

    Okay, I have to say I did enjoy a little (HAH!).

    There were some points where it can be really fun (and at some point, it can be some mentally challenging and demanding)

    Like I don't even know what I was doing!

    And as a result, I got really (really) tanned, my shoulders aching (and feeling really heavy), broken nails, injured knee and a bruise on my head.

    I was sailing halfway and the mainsheet got stuck at the end of the boat, so I went and adjust it, and the my tiller wasn't straight and the boom went BOOM and hit onto my head and man, I end up having a bruise on my head.

    I didn't realize I was that tanned until I got home and my sister's reaction was like !!???? and I came back and asked my roommate, her reaction was like, "Honestly, yeah."

    WAH LAU!

    On the other hand, no Economics tutorial this week since Jonathan Li won't be available. (AWW )

  • "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."

    Albert Einstein

    We skate, we fell, we laughed.

    WAHHH it was so embarrassing yesterday that I made Zi Xuan and Nigel fell with me! (HAH!)

    But oh wells, it's pretty fun, except the blisters were attacking my feet. AWW

    Something popped out yesterday, so I'm sorry if I keep MIA answering calls and all.

    And it's SO FUN to sabor Lian Shi and Nigel with Cheryl! HAHA. Typical but it's fun, fun and more fun! HAHAHAH. It's so fun to see Nigel's and Lian Shi's speechless expression!

    We did some glass art but not on glass (what do you call that?) in Tampines yesterday and it was so fun. Imagine 9 teenagers surrounded with all little kids in the art corner.

    I'm pretty looking forward for school, actually. Suprising, but before Monday comes, there's Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully the weekend would be kinder to me! HAH!

    Anyways, I'll have to go prepare for lunch at 126 Dim Sum place. HEHEH. Good good, here I come!
    Happy 22th Birthday Miss Teoh Mei Ling! :)

    Hope you'll have a blessed birthday in Australia. Thanks for loving me, thanks for everything you had for me, thanks for being in my life!


    Love you!

  • We do not remember days; we remember moments. 

    Cesare Pavese, The Burning Brand

    If you were to lose one thing, what would it be?

    I would definitely not choose memories.

    I have been richly blessed with pleasant (and unpleasant) memories which I would definitely wish to keep them with me in the process of growing up.

    It's always very nice to keep in touch with people you have not been contacting for years.

    My Secondary 2 class teacher happen to add me on Facebook and yeah, it was so nice talking to her and just catching up.

    The last time I heard from her, she just got married.

    And today I talked to her, she has already got a baby boy :)

    How time flies, so cliche but it's true, isn't it?

    Now, see the beauty of Facebook?
