oh well..

no more aus trip. nope, i'm not even keen abt gg to hongkong...it's juz too bad.. maybe next time.

yup, so 2006 has finally ended. thank goodness! one of the most tortourous yr in my life SO FAR. review of the MEMORABLE events tt took place.
the few exciting ones were definitely the
1. SINGAPORE SEVENS!!! jeff wong!!! oh so cute!
2. my 18th birthday. i love the presents! thanks guys!
3.Aviva Open. peter gade, u rock!
4.Prom. actually, more like the time spent in the hotel room with the 10 other ppls. very fun!!!

the not so good part..
1.not passing my 2.4.. too bad..
2.the stressful period of studying for all the major papers including As.. it's so horrible i'll nv forget it.

I CAN'T REMEMBER!!! haha.. really, i have bad memory... but the other most important part of this yr which i'm thankful for : my friends. thank u guys.. both in 05s55 and those in ntmb.
i really hope we can keep in touch for as long as we can... outings, birthday dinners...

happy new year!!!! haha... i'm so looking forward to the first half a yr, where i won't have to prepare for sch early in the morning, study for tests, sacrifice my tv shows, train for 2.4 -.-
and yes! i get to watch all the tv shows i want!!! prison break 2!!!

trip to zoo!!

after breakfast in outram, my dad wanted to bring the family to mt faber to take photos using his new cam. juz when we found a parking lot, i saw a coach wif the SINGAPORE ZOO ad on it. yup, and we went there!

it was a long and ulu journey... thankfully the weather was alrite.. the tix was $20each.. pretty ex, but considering none of us went there for over 10yrs. i think it's pretty alrite.. it's pretty crowded... guess cos the sch hols coming to an end..

so ya, we walked ard and look at animals. haha. there was manatee!!! haha.. cute.. there were a few interesting parts of the trip
1. we went to see the pgmy hippo. it's a smaller species of hippos.. the visitors were separated from the hippos by this glass wall. i saw the butt of one of the hippo so i went closer for a second look. then it turned ard... and faced the glass. so i was like, take photo! so i juz sat 'next' to it. the hippo was so sweet. and photogenic. it juz stop there and posed for pics with my whole family..lol.cute
2. we saw the lions mate. LOL. yup, we saw the lions, took photos of it then went to take photos of the giraffe. then when we turn back again, we saw the male lion on top of the female one. SHAKING. ya, it was pretty amazing and funny.. everyone kinda stop in their tracks to stare at this amazing sight.. haha..
3.there was this enclosed area where reptiles like snake and lizards where allowed to roam freely. visitors were allowed to walk thru the area. i chose not to.. my mum followed behind my dad and lil bro.. then seconds later, my mum came out shrieking: there's a huge chamelon inside. eww. so disgusting!!!! haha.. apparently, she didn't noe it was a free ranging area for the reptiles. she said it was dangerous. yup, tt's why i didn't go in. it was freaky enuf juz looking at the snakes in their small see thru box. to be close up and not separated by anything? that's worse!
4.the elephant show.. very cute... i've got some parts recorded in my hp...

yup, so tt's abt it.. i prob won't go there again for another dunno how many yrs.. haha.

aus trip postponed

things are not gg the way i want them to go. last nite i was pissed when wl said she had to work til mid jan. i was pissed cos she did agree to stop work by end of dec so we cld start planning and booking the aus trip package. MY initial plan was to go aus asap, so i cld come back and look for a proper admin job tt can last for 3-5mths... then i was so confused and angry abt it for like a few hrs. i tot, maybe i shld juz NOT go. so, i was thinking, fine, i'll juz go for another job.. which is for one mth. THEN, i tot, if i work for 1 mth, by then the others wld have to find jobs which dunno last for how long. so we'll end up waiting for one another to finish each others' job. ridiculous.

THEN, yh msg me, saying she had bad news. i was extremely RELIVED when she said she might not be able to go aus cos of lack of money. i dunno why i was relieved. i juz was.

it's weird how we excited we got when we were toking abt the aus trip and other stuff while we were still in sch... we had big plans. but now tt we dun see each other, the plans juz didn't go as planned. i dunno... i guess it was easier to talk abt it when we actually see each other.. it's so difficult now, cos everyone seems to be living their own lives.. jobs for one, is something tt we can't do together. so tt's why it's hard to plan stuff..

yesterday i was toking to a fren... realise tt i may be losing some of my closest fren.maybe i'm thinking too much... i dunno.. first i lost contact wif bao and jinli they all.. then now tt i'm in jc, maybe i'm not as close to wl and sy anymore... i dun want that to happen... a fren said this is they way it is.. but i disagree.. i think it's something to do wif me. it's like i juz can't keep my friends... argh... i noe it's not possible to be best frens wif everyone.. but i do sincerely hope tt i cld be there for others and vice versa.

job done.

8 days of being an production operator. i'm done!

3 days at tai seng and the last 5 days at paya lebar.the one at paya lebar was good and bad. good cos it has vending machines, decent toilet and i get a sitting job for the first 3 days(pasting labels). the bad thing was i had no choice but to breathe in the cigarette smoke during break times.

why did i quit?
well, the job, though extremely easy, require alot of mental strength. to stand for at least 11hrs!!! that's totally insane la! i dunno how the others do it, but it's extremely tiring. i was part of the 'line'(which meant i was involved in putting one component into the hp box). by the end of the shift, my shoulders were extremely stiff!!! and tho at times, it feels like i'm earning easy money cos of the job scope, sometimes i juz feel sick. like how my tummy growled or ached when the break was given one hr after everyone have alr left for theirs. (i was starved for 8 hrs before break was given). haiz...

maybe i'm juz not suitable for the job. qualification wise. i dun really noe of anyone there who was waiting for Alevels result. most of them were waiting for Os.. and there were alot of china women working there. it was supposed to be a female environment job, but there were guys too.. and if i'm not wrong, 9 out of 10 of the guys smoke.

chelsea update

disappointing... chelsea drew with reading 2-2. i once said reading is a jinx club. indeed it is, chelsea's first incident of own goal by a.cole, which then bounced off essien. so now, the gap is 4 pts between chelsea and man u. pls buy more defenders, jose!!!! and get well soon terry! the team needs u!!!

hmm... the 2 games against everton and wigan were pretty exciting cos of the results.. i'm so extremely happy that chelsea can actually managed to pull off one last stunt before the final whistle. too bad they cldn't do the same for the reading game... hai..

moody

i've always loved rainy days in the past. it wld mean a cooling weather to sleep in, no PE and i'll juz feel very calm and happy.
the past week was everything but tt.

i was told to stop work on fri, sat and sun nite. then mon late noon i called the person. there was a job at this new pl, female environment.but before tt he seem rather pissed off, and kept saying how come i have not been turning up, and i had to keep reminding him that it was he who told me not to come. so, when tt was cleared up and he told me to meet at the new pl, i had to tell him that i cldn't come cos i was not feeling well. it was my first day of menses. i didn't wanna risk it by making a scene at the new work pl. and he was not pleased with my excuse. damn. it felt like he was firing me and that i'm not gg to have my pay. he says he can't gurantee me the job and ask me to call again tmr.

i was extremely upset. was i being conned for 36hrs of hardwork and standing? i cried. i was so confused. then i msg him and ask i was still getting paid for te 3 days.

in turn, he gave me a call, and an explanation. he said he was extremely busy with so many calls coming in, so perhaps tt's why his tone may have scared me to think i've lost my job. he tot i wanted to quit... but, ya anyway, he cleared the air, and it's better now. however, i still have no idea if i'll get the job at the new pl. i really want to.. he says this one is more 'long term'... and somemore is female environmt... so much better than the prev one..

anyways, i regreted not gg.. cos my tummy didn't really ached afterall.. so, i'll juz have to pray that there are still vacancies tonite.. and tt i'll get the job... hai. another fren will be coming along, but she mentioned smthg abt admin.. hmm.. we'll see.. i juz wanna earn as much before this fri's pay day...

working is not fun at all. neither is schooling. but at least work got salary. hopefully, with my new fren's company, i won't feel so miserable.

btw, ryan and melody from so u think u can dance are in town!!! oh my gosh!!! so cool pls! i wanna see then dance!!! haha.. i wanna take a photo wif ryan doing some crazy stunt on his head.. lol!

i survived 3 days!

yes!!! i've survived 3 days of work!!! i can't believe it! cos i tot i was feeling unwell on the second nite cos of the heat in the pl.. the pl is air-conditioned, but when things move at a fast pace, it can get pretty hot and stuffy at times... i was contemplating whether or not to take a cab home at 11plus.. i was afraid if i waited til after midnite, there may not be cabs ard... i was almost tearing.. it was such a scary feeling: to feel sick and yet there weren't ppls ard who cld comfort me..i wished my frens were there.. i somehow survived til break at 1230. then after break, i was feeling so much better... and i continued to work till 8am...

day 3: the mixed feeling started when i was on the train to bedok... i dunno how to describe my feeling.. it's like i felt 'sick' having to go to work, but yet i think it's ridiculous to have such a feeling cos the job scope is so easy. pack pack pack.. so what am i scared abt? probably cos it's such a far place fr hse and tt i was afraid my period wld come during work, AND becos my frens weren't there with me to make work/break less dull...

A strange thing i've observed is that there's alot of black dirt in my nose when i dig it.. it's kinda disgusting and scary... dunno issit becos i've been hanging ard wif ppls who smoke... not that i sit directly next to them.. but sometimes, i'm juz a distance away... i've alr tried my best to stay away from them as far as possible.. think i'll somehow become a passive smoker by the time i quit :S

oh, on the fourth day, on the bus to outram, jim the guy from the agency, called and said work was cancelled for 2 days. i was kinda happy and sad at the same time. happy that i have a decent break after 3 long working days. sad that i can't earn these 2 days money... kinda felt sorry for wl and her frens too cos they cldn't come to work either.. hopefully, sun nite, they'll need us back... prays hard!! sun is 80 bucks.. although my mum says it's supposed to be double of 66, i think 80 is still alot of money for a day's work...

come to think of it, my monthly allowance in the past was $200, but now, for juz 12x3hrs, i'm getting $198.. not bad huh? haha.. well, it's my first job, so as long as the pay is decent, i'm trying not to think abt how well other jobs are paying... rite now, i can only use money as a form of moltivation for working... i can't wait to go shop!!!

first day at work

yesterday, i went down to bedok mrt to fill in the application form for some CD packer job... the person ask when i cld start work. and i said asap. that evening, at 5, she called and told me to get ready for the job, by gg down to AMK mrt, so that they cld fetch us to the workplace.

when i told my mum abt it, she was strongly against the idea. we had a huge arguement over it. she didn't wanna let me go, cos i didn't even noe the name of the company and she felt that the person in charge was irresponsible by not picking up the phone. -.- then i was telling, and crying, abt how everyone has gotten a job, and they all have some sort of employment history but i didn't have any. and i needed the cash to go Aus. at that point, my mum actually told me she'd pay for my trip, so that i dun have to go work. hai.. the last straw: she said i may sacrifice 12hrs for nothing, but i said it's worth a try, if i dun like den dun do. but wat if it's something tt i'm capable of doing? wouldn't i waste away the opportunity.. drama drama.

she did let me go in the end, though my dad and aunt were also saying dun go.

on the way, i pretty anxious. i'm afraid wat my mum said is true abt the company being a scam and then she wld say: i told u so. when the van arrived, there were like 10 other ppls who board it..

we reach the building at ard 8. then the 2 in-charge were juz busy with everything else and we the newcomers were juz stoning. finally at 8 plus9, we started work. motorola was our job. we were supposed to pack in the various components into the motorola box via the conveyor belt. there were 4 of such belts in that place.. besides that we had to fold the boxes into the shape...

what i was irritated, is that we the newcomers weren't given a proper briefing abt our job, salary, and days of work. i heard it's ard $68, for the night shift(which i'm doing) and we have to work like 6 days a week?! oh my god.

anyway, i survived. it was piece of cake, except we had to stand thruout. but there were a couple of breaks...

SO, thank goodness i went for the job. i can't wait to get paid..

oh btw, today is not only the first day of work for me, it's also the first time i slept on the train, AND MISSED MY STOP!!! oh my! i heard 'next stop, bouna vista' and then i was like, 'huh?!' LOL

i hope yh and wl cld join me at work... the frens i made were the other newcomers.. all malays, except for this other lady who prob went to do clerical work.. the ppls there were mostly teenagers... but i dun really see anyone that looked and act my age... hmm.. nvm.. i'm juz interested in the pay.

12 hrs aside for the work, i think i need another 1.5hrs each for gg and coming back.. which mean, i only have like 24-(12+3)= 9 hrs to myself... maybe 5-6hrs of slp and then stone for rest of the time...

the good thing abt working the nite shift besides that pay is that i dun have to wake up like at 5.30am to get ready. it's more likely that i'll oversleep in the morning than in the evening.
hope i'll be able to survive for like a month at least... but i'll need a new pair of jeans cos the one i'm wearing is gg to stink soon... eeks!

job hunting sux!

have been looking at the Recruit section since last thu.. cldn't really find a suitable job. main reason being i dun want to commit myself to more than 2mths.. this is becos i'll be gg to Aus, if we follow the plan, in jan... hmm.. but it's really difficult to get a job with decent pay, eg.admin/data entry, when they want the ppls to commit for at least 3mths. damn.

despite the potenital money woes that i tot i'll have in this month, i am so blessed to have parents who sympathesize with me and give me pocket money.. but, my mum is still pretty annoying, expecting me to clean up the entire house like a maid cos she's given me money.. argh...

yesterday, i tot i've secured myself a job with a decent pay. it's some packing job. i went down all the way to admirality mrt station to fill up the form and then handed in. the person in charge looked at it, says 'oh, u can do the night shift issit?', and asked 'when can u start work?'. i said either today or tmr.. then she gave me this paper and said, these are the things to bring if i call you by today.. So, i tot, sure get one la! it seems like it's a plus point tt i'm willing to do the nite shift. and the piece of paper was for me to make sure i brg the necessary stuff.. but damn, i waited the whole afternoon, sleeping with my phone next to me, but e phone nv rang. damn.

i shld have went for a second one at AMK mrt too.. then at least i got more chance of getting a job.

there are a few companies tt are recruiting for this position.. so, i'll try my luck later on at abt 3places... hope i get the job asap and start work immediately. the pay is pretty decent, esp the overtime pay on sat and sun... but i dunno exactly wat to do during the job, so perhaps it cld be VERY TOUGH... i hope i can perservere.. the money is too good... can buy so many things... the thg tt i'm interested now: prison break vcd... AH!!!! good luck to moi !

the big day finally arrived. the day didn't really start out well, cos i had to wait for sw.again. sas quite annoyed cos i had to carry some bulky stuff and walk along orchard on my own. when she finally arrived, we had to walk a distance before reaching the orange building of orchard parade hotel.. then we went up the room, and gary was there alr. the room is pretty big, has a 'closet' area, a toilet with bath tub and shower area separated, and 4 beds! and cable tv!!! soon after, the others(eve, cheryl, jie, amanda) start arriving, including the makeup artiste. eve, sw and cheryl all didn't wanna be first, so i had to be 'sacrificed'. haha, but it turn out to be a good thing. the straightening of my hair took ard 2hrs which was way past the time meant for each person's makeup and hair session. but i muz say i like my hair straight. feels so good. lol. so by ard 5 plus, all except eve and cheryl were ready.. the 3 of them curled their hair, which was pretty fast compared to my straightening. then by 6 plus, only the 4 of us were still in the hotel cos we weren't ready. all of us were getting pretty anxious, wondering if we'd make the 'grand entrance' finally, at 7.40pm, more than 1 hr past the registering time, we left the room and hailed a cab.. 'nervous, nervous,nervous'. jie, who was alr there told us that we were sitting right in front of the stage. Oh shit!!! when we reached at the meritus mandrian hotel, everyone at the entrance seemed to be staring at us. i didn't have my specs on, so i cldn't really see them. at the lobby, the 4 of us were all clueless as to where the ballroom was.. juz wandering all over before finally figuring out that it was on 6th fl, which the lift didn't stop at. and so it made us panic for another while, thinking why are we so unlucky. turns out, there is no lift at the 6th fl. So I think it's pretty dumb tt they even have the button there. When we finally arrived at the ballroom, THANK GOODNESS! It wasn't anything like we imagined. It was rather messy..everyone was walking ard, taking pics.. phew. We found our table soon and well, we didn't miss much as the beginning were juz speeches by a few GOH. The prom, was definitely v different from tt of ntss. E moment we sat down, we were hurried to fill in e prom king and queen nomination. Instead of everyone sitting down and eating together, ppls were allowed to walk ard and take photos.. as a result, some of us missed some of the food served. The food was alrite. I felt that we didn't eat much cos there were so many stage games in and performances in between. And the prizes for the lucky draw. OH MY GOD. There was crumpler bag, Olympus camera and and ipod nano wif 8GB. Damn! I didn't win any as usual. eve was lucky, but her prize was a men's wallet and watch. But still, she won! What was everyone wearing??? From retro to formal, sexy to skimpy. But definitely, everyone looked really gorgeous. The prom queen and king definitely deserved their title. At the end, we took a lot of photos and that was abt it. Haha.. it wasn't fantastic. But it was good. Definitely regret not eating as much. The guy emcee was really good.. has great potential. Ard 12 plus, me, limjie, Amanda and gary walked all the way back to orchard parade hotel. The taxi queue was way too long. Oh my, walking in heels really hurt! And limjie was worse, her shoes keep falling off cos it was abit too big.. after reaching the hotel, we changed and went to watch midnite movie- open season. Mel came too.. the rest went clubbing.. Oh, we walked all the way from orchard parade, past meritus, to cine. Are our legs tired or wat?! Bought the tix.. and there were also other prom ppls who were there in their formal attire. The movie: short. First part abit lame. The porcupine very funny!!-buddy. And I like ashton kutcher’s character.. thankfully it was only 6.50 for the tix.. After the movie, we walked ALL THE WAY back to our hotel rm. Again. The rest came back soon after us cos the club had to close pretty early.. I was trying to watch soccer, but cldn't take it, so I went to bed, sharing wif jie. She was gd la! Slp so fast. I was trying to slp but only managed to slp for half and hr before eve woke me up for the Chelsea match at 6am. Lucky sw also woke up, then she accompany me to watch while everyone was in bed.. I cldn't really concentrate on the match, cos my eyes were pretty tired.. but I was happy that shevy and wright-phillips scored. By 8, the gang who went to watch midnite movie woke up and we went to mac for breakfast.by 9, when we returned, the other grp has alr woke up, and it was my turn to go back to bed. nice.. though it was 2hrs plus.. it felt good.. haha.. I actually enjoy the part at the orchard parade hotel more than tt at the meritus hotel.. it was like camping, which I haven't done in jc, but in a high class place. With beds and tv and a decent shower place. I like it.. So that was it.. pre-prom, prom and post prom. It was fun.. I'll definitely wanna stay at hotel room wif my frens again..

lalalalala

chelsea vs man u 1-1!!!! muahahahaha... i'm happy. i'm pleased. i'm satisfied... the first half was dominated by manu no doubt.. van der sar hardly had anything to do... but. after saha scored the first goal, u can see chelsea immediately fought back. hard. the second half was so extremely exciting cos chelsea kept pushing forward... surong said chelsea played dirty.. not really la.. except some of the ballack tackles were late and uncalled for.. anyway, i was happy carvalho head in chelsea's goal. this is, if i'm not wrong, the first match that chelsea did not score the first goal. so, i think it's pretty exciting seeing chelsea fight back for such a long period of time from after the manu goal..
ashley cole did a good job. ronaldo, i admit, is pretty good. run so fast!!! lucky a.cole can keep up with him.. phew. essien also ran like he was running for his life when he switched to right back... drogba and shevchenko- well.. kinda low profile throughout... i almost forgot rooney was in the line up after saha scored the goal.. haha.. jose mourinho is such a comical guy to listen to during his interviews.. his accent and the stuff he says... he is indeed the special one.. haha..
i saw this line in the newpaper. v cool. "it's not easy to beat man u. but it's harder to beat chelsea" woohoo!!!

yup.. i can watch all the soccer match i want now!!! yea!!! As are officially over as of 9.11am on 23rd nov.. since then, i've been gg out every single day to shop. but i hav yet to buy anything.. will be buying tmr... hope the dress is still there!!!

almost.. already.. wateva

As are over! not officially, but sorta. only left p1.. i can't wait to start my shopping!!!

but first, a review of the papers
gp: u nv noe.. u juz nv noe. i hope for moderation!
math: i think it was alrite for both, pretty doable..
chem: i kinda screw up p3 :( p1 isn't tt good either..
bio: p2 was alrite considering i didn't touch the chunk on dna. BUT p3 was definitely pretty tough.. thinking back now, i think i didn't read some of the key words in the que. oops.

that's abt it... i'm trying as hard not to think of any MORE possible errors thati've made and juz concentrate on the hols

shopping for prom! oh so exciting!!!! haha.. but i have such disproportionate body :( pear shaped somemore.. eeks. hope i find a suitable dress [i dreamt that i was still at home trying out dresses when prom has alr began] hope i can work off some fats within this short teeny bit of time left. and still need to pay $60 for makeup artiste!!! and a clutch, and shoes.... hope my mum decides to be v nice and pay for some of them.. hehe

TRIP to AUSSIE!!! oh my gosh i simply can't wait for that!!! last nite, i had a conversatn w mum.
mum:i have a fren who's daughter also had a huge pimple like u. she finished her As liao, so she's on a taiwan trip w her friends. taiwan lei..are u gg on any?
me: ya to aus w my frends
mum (wide-eyed): cannot la, i can't let u go on ur own, so blur.
me(even wider-eyed): huh?! but that time u say can wat!
mum:where got?
me: there, when u say how bro is having a great time in euro, then u say if i wanna go, juz make money on ur own lor.
mum:ha..u make enuf money first lor.

THEN, after that i noe she has given me the permission when she told me to get a POSB card. i was like, wat for? "so you can use it overseas"!!!!! woohoo!!! i can't wait to meet up with the rest to discuss abt it! so exciting!! gold coast! but after watching so many epi of croc hunter diaries, i wld love to visit the aus zoo... but still, i think the rest wld rather go gold coast. rollercoaster rides!!

woo.. oh i juz can't wait... i'll make earrings, watch tv, stay up late to watch soccer, vcds, movies, to the library, learn some stuff, sleep all i want. make money and spend it on shopping!!!

i muz definitely make good use of this hols. dun be like the past hols.. juz slacking ard w nothing interesting to do. woohoo!

yikes!

As has finally begun. completed half of the papers... so far, it was alrite... but i feel v uncertain for gp, chem and mathh p2.
this time during the preparation for As, i have been highly emotionally distressed. i juz feel really and very worried and stressed each time i look at the notes the nite before... and i juz kept crying... my parents are pretty supportive and understanding... they tell me not to worry abt my results and juz take it easy with the papers. even if i dun do well for the paper, they wouldn't blame me... really relieved to hear it from them.

I have nv really felt this high level of distress during my preparation for the past major papers.. so my emotions now are kinda scaring my mum... i think she's worried abt me..

i'm not sure wat i want after As... everyone says after jc is go uni. but was if i dun want? then ppls would say i shld have went poly in the first place. well, i definitely didn't regret my decision abt not gg poly. jc was the choice i made. afterall, i wasn't sure wat course(which wld determine my career path) i wanted to take back then.
now.. i'm thinking, maybe i'm juz no good at studying. or, i'm sick of studying. i dun wanna study anymore... it's causing me so much stress it's disrupting my life... i'm considering picking up some sorta skill... something more hands-on and less cramming for exams.

of course, if i do perform well for As and my results are sufficient for the physiotherapy course, i may still go back to that.. but it's kinda doubtful.. cos i haven't done proper last min recaps and revisions for each of my past papers..

then i tot abt something else. how would i feel if my frens all obtained their degrees and diplomas and are holding a higher paid job then me? i will certainly feel left out.... But i also understand that not everyone are equally academically inclined..

many of my frens are planning to go uni. but many of them are also unsure of the courses they wanna take. it's like a 'must' to get either a degree or diploma in spore. i hate this. i want to do something fun and easy..but there's NO SUCH THING. argh. my parents say many ppls also didn't had degree and diploma, but they're still earning more money that the graduates. but i'm not that type of person. i dun have the brains nor talents to do that.

i wish i knew wat to do.. until then, i'm looking forward to end of As, prom, xmas and aussie trip.

chelsea update

i'm so happy that chelsea beat barcelona. chelsea was simply fantastic. even though i was feeling sleepy while watching the pre-match show, i was immediately wide awake the moment both teams came out.
chelsea gave barce no chance at all, or shld i say no good chance, to score. boulahrouz was down on ronaldinho. makelele did many tackles which totally impressed me. messi juz cln't break thru the solid chelsea defence. drogba:winning goal. hilario kept a clean sheet. [but i still prefer cech] overall, the team outshone barce. i juz hope shevechenko wil start scoring. and in the mid season, i hope drogba doesn't leave the club...

update on my A levels revision: not so good. i'm studing, but i'm still not confident in my grasp of alot of concepts.

uh oh...

petr cech's injury is worse than i thought..
oh no...
how are they gg to face barcelona wif that new 'unused' gk?
i hope both gk will recover soon... *prays hard*

soccer update!

england lost to croatia 2-0. their formation of 3-5-2 failed. and poor oh robinson... made a stupid mistake and he was so horribly criticised. well. take it as a lesson learnt.

Q:wat's worse than having a goalkeeper injured and sent off during the match?
A: the sustituted goalkeeper also gets injured and sent off.

last nite's chelsea match against reading went horrible. within the first few min, and dear peter cech was down.. he got a concussion fr one of the reading strikers. the only goal was an own goal tt got deflected off some reading guy. the free kick was taken by lampard. thank goodness the ball went in.. chelsea didn't really had tt many chances tho they were putting some sort of pressure on the opponent's team.. oh, the substitute gk went on but didn't had much to do.. then, 2min into stoppage time, poor oh gk got elbowed in his chest and literally black out. that 's wat it appears to me. then bravo john terry took the initiative to be the gk for the last min or so.
reading: a jinx to chealsea team.
cech's injury seems more minor that the substitute's one. so hopefully he'll be fit for the barcelona match on thu.. *prays hard*

btw, i had a dream. and frank lampard was in it. smthg abt him helping me in some training.. lol.. that was after i went to bed after the first half of the eng-croatia match. he was absolutely charming...

and i can't recall wat happened when i dreamt of roddick the other time.. haha

stress!

was really feeling stressed the past week. had to deal with doing sch work and revision papers and topical revision. even cried on 2 nites:( and it didn't help that i have to work on my fren's presents...but i'm feeling better now.

played tennis w yh yesterday. in the haze.. haha.. i'm not sure if we were playing in the haze, but the atmosphere ard were really blurry. even though i hadn't play tennis for maybe a few mths.. it was still a pretty good session. the start was horrible. but in the 2nd half of the hr, when i changed sides w yh, i hit some pretty 'good' forehands.. haha.. lucky me. i think yh was slightly frustrated.. cos wer were suppose to be hitting rallies.. but some of my forehands were juz 'impressive' for a beginner. [it was like on the single's line, and/or close to it. and it's always on the left one.]I'M SUCH A BRAGGER.. haha.. no lah, i'm not that good. i still suck though. those were juz lucky forehand strokes. really. but it was a good session nonetheless.. had some good backhand strokes too.. "keep my eyes on the ball!!!"

euro qualifiers this weekend and next week. both england's matches will be aired. hmm.. not fair to other countries. anyway, i support england, so it's ok. i wonder if they'll use the 3-5-2 formation.. wld like to see it..

upset with the draw

chelsea drew with aston villa last nite.. sobs.. though they didn't lose, i was still pretty upset :'( chelsea played well, and fought back..esp the later part in the 2nd half. they had so many chances!! even tt ukraine guy made an obvious attempt to score.(i hardly see him touch the ball in previous matches)
hiaz... poor chelsea. if man u wins tonite.. their lead will be gone.. not gone,shared. but still, -.-

hmm.. wat a surprise

good news for me today... i passed my math papers overall. i passed p1 and failed p2.
another shocking gd news was that i pass my options structured paper. hmm.. i'm really lucky. now, do i think i'll fail the essay part? most probably, but since i have passed the above papers, i juz nv noe... But i'm still thankful i passed these papers...

so far, my results are pretty average. every component/subject is 'juz passed', which is slightly over the 50% mark. serious. dunno whether i shld be happy anot. nvm.. i'll still work harder for As.

today, we had the mock bio paper that the crazy bio teachers wanted all of us to take. though i didn't studied for it, until the last 30min before the paper, i think it was relatively doable.. afterall, we all juz finished our prelims (though p2 was 3 wks ago), so we still had some info retained in us.

what was i doing in the morning when i had time to study bio? SUDOKU (not sure how it's spelt). yup, i borrowed angie's phone and decided to learn to play sudoku for my very first time. it was great!!! super nice to play:D most ppls still dunno how it's played. but it's really easy. juz make sure each row and column only have 1 of the 9 numbers available and there shldn't be any repeats within each row/colum.
And from my first game, it led me on to my 2nd, 3rd, 4th and finally the 10th game which i managed to complete before i went for bio tut. i am pretty addicted to the game. everyone ard me are like... 'joyce... u're nuts!'. yup, a few days ago, 21 was my new bridge. today, sudoku is my new 21!!! hahahaha

oh, yesterday, i went to watch 'john tucker must die'. SUPER FUNNY. MUZ WATCH!
it's so worth the money. me, cheryl and esp. eve all laughed all heads off during the movie. super funny pls!!!! it's a much better version of mean girls, becos - jesse metcalfe is so extremely hot!!! everyone : go catch the movie!!! no regrets, i promise!

post prelims

chem p1 was doable... but still not confident... i nv liked to say out loud that 'i can do' becos i dun want to be disappointed when i get back the results..
then we got back our bio papers. not much of a surprise, but i didn't expect my mcq to be that bad. ms wong admits it's difficult while ms ng says its not. IT IS. though i did pass every component of the paper, it was juz by a FEW marks. options is definitely going to pull me down.

yup, so aft that we went to limjie's hse.. slacked for awhile, watch tv and played cards. and yes, i'm addicted to the new game intro by sheena -'21'. When i first heard the name, i tot it was juz a game of black jack.. so most of us were like '*yawns*.. ok.. watever' . then afterwards, we played taidi and bridge... and it led us to play 21.. which turns out to be a FABULOUS GAME. yup, we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.. and we even played in sch today! yea! 21 is the new bridge

the bbq: great! my first time at a bbq with NO GUYS! haha.. usually it'll be the guys starting the fire and getting dirty from using the charcoal.. but mel, surong and sheena really surprised me with their fire starting skills.

ezb is a great bbq catering service. it's so convenient. juz make an order and everything will be sent to our doorsteps. no need to worry abt leaving smthg or anything out.

the food was good overall. had a great time.. except until aft 8.. where it got really dark, and there were minimal light for us to check whether the food was cooked of not.. hehe.. still, i think we all did a good job bbqing.. no one got food poisoning! yet... haha

a few more days to relax and chill.. before i embark on yet another journey of... mugging. 2 more months, ppls. let's do it!

...

i'm so gg to do badly for prelims!!!
gg to fail bio options.
at MOST a juz pass for math.. still quite unlikely though..
and if i dun make too many carelesss mistakes in p2 and p3 of chem, i cld get a C/D provided my p1 dun fail(which i may, cos i juz can't do the calculations!!)

i'm not sure if i'm looking forward to last paper tmr. cos after tt day, it'll be the return of our papers.. eeks!!! i can juz imagine my folks scolding me for watching too much soccer and tv..

but i do look forward to gg to jie's hse to watch the dvds ... supposed to be having bbq.. but i can't cos i got sore throat!!! argh! and i think i still have to pay.. nvm, since i alr have medicine, i might as well eat some of the stuff. make my money worth.

i hope A levels will be easier.. pls be!

review.

roddick lost to federer.. unfortunately, yet predictably. well, at least my prediction that he'd win one set came true.. i'm pleased with that... he had a great past2-3weeks. winning at cincinnati and then reaching the finals of this us open. damn that federer. he's juz so good, i wish he'd retire early.

well, today's chem paper was doable..it's a first time for most of us to take the whole 2hr45min paper. surprisingly, it wasn't as tough as we all thought it wld be since p2 was relatively doable too.. of course, those who've mugged hard shld have no problem getting at least a B. i wld prolly achieve that too IF i wasn't watching so much tv the past week.
but at least the matches i won were all in favour of the teams/players i supported.
Euro qualifiers: england beat macedonia 1-0
germany beat san marino 13-0!!!!
EPL: chelsea beat charlton 2-1
US Open: roddick played very well, reaching the finals. i swear he'd have won if the opponent was everyone else but federer.
Barclays Singapore Open: this, i only watched the last 45min of it, which was a final playoff between this gd looking aussie, adam scott and this south american ernie els. of course, i supported the young and talented adam scott, who won and defended his title.. damn, i was so CLOSE to him (well, literally, he's juz in Sentosa while i was at home in telok blangah. HAHA)

yup, that's why though i did studied, i felt kinda guilty and anxious cos i've watched all these sports matches.
at least i noe i'll pass chem(if the p1 is not too tough).. and hopefully bio too if the option paper is not too difficult. [But the entire chunk of bio option topics are VERY DIFFICULT!!!] :X

after prelims, i think i'll be very occupied with the epl, champions league and euro qualifiers.. hiax.. i'm not too sure if i'm in love with soccer.. but i truly enjoy watching and supporting my fav teams.. not to mention e presence of cute and talented guys. but i want to stress that i'm not watching for the sake of cute guys only... afterall, there are SO MANY soccer hunks, yet i'm only interested in 3 teams... it's the feeling that comes wif watching such a competitive sport.. i'm lovin' it!

euro champions 2008 @ switzerland. anyone interested? :D

1 week to prelims

last nite was awesome!!!! chelsea won their first match against man city 3-0!!! terry and lampard both scored!!! woohoo!!! and that other striker.. a pity the ukraine guy didn't really get a chance...
rite after that was roddick's final against juan carlos ferrero. both played really well the past week, so i'm pleased to see them meet in the finals. but roddick was SO MUCH BETTER!!! took away the title in 1h10min.. though i muz say ferrero had some amazing shots.. and how did roddick end it? serving 4 aces in that final game. impressive, huh?! next week is the us open!! (and start of prelims) hope roddick will continue doing what he did the past week and win the grand slam!!!

it's amazing what confidence can do to a person.. eg:roddick


ok.. today's monday.. hopefully it'll be the last time i'm using my comp until after bio p2 on next wed... muz really mug very hard.. good luck to one and all!!!

happy singapore day!

finally, a few days of break for me to start studying properly. but i'm not totally concentrating on my work.. cos there's lots of tv to watch- all the old epl matches, the ch U show at 10pm... and mtv..

band concert: it was good!!! except for the seats. NEVER. i repeat: NEVER. get seats at circle 3. they were horrible. not the view. but the height. it's so high up, and the seats are so steep that one will feel slightly dizzy and almost a headache for sitting high up there... Nonetheless, i still enjoyed the concert very much, with the company of my friends too.. we had a 'weird' dress combi: 3 in black and jeans and 2 in white and skirt...

the concert saw the first performance of the st andrew's junior band.. very cute, and a lucky bunch to be able to perform at the esplanade at such tender young age.. their music: well, they juz started last yr.. so it's considered pretty alrite.. then we hear the music by SAS, SAJC and the alumni band.. and there were a few pieces that were played by students of different levels, like sajc yr 1 wif the sas sec 4... and so on.. i was impressed by how much effort and time they had to put in to put on such a great entertaining performance.. but nearing the end, it became kinda draggy.. the pieces got longer and longer.. funny part was the 'riverdance' by the alumni band. we tot, at some pt, it had ended.. but then it didn't and juz continued... yawns... we were all getting tired..

the nicest part? benjamin yeo.. cldn't really see his face from my place.. but i cld easily recognise him. he's the conductor! haha..

anyways, i had a great time.. both band concert and rapture. hope i'll be able to get tics for the concerts following next yr..

EPL is starting. YEA!!! GO CHELSEA!!!

the past 2 weeks

prelims is in 3 weeks time.. everyone ard are like so mugging very hard...those gg to manan seems to be in good hands.. me? i feel like i've wasted the past 2 weeks. i cldn't concentrate on revision when i'm at home. but i cldn't stand another minute being in sch when there's no lessons. i dun wan to pon sch cos i noe there'll be smthg useful for the 'good' students who bother to turn up. i'm like so wasting my time... i need to get back on the right track. i miss the holidays before BT2... haix.. i can't organise my time well... i'm supposed to be a super good planner.. sux really bad... i have a feeling i'm being complacent cos my grades were decent for BT2. but i noe that BT2 doesn't include j1 work(for chem and math) which i totally sux at.. so, i'll be screwed for prelims if i dun buck up. then there's option topics which are like SO MUCH to study for but no little weightage.. argh

once again, i have yet to pass my 2.4... dun think i'll achieve my last yr's goal of getting silver.. will be happy enuf if i pass it..

went for rapture last nite.. have to admit that last yr's one is better than this yr's one.. i was expecting some 'grand' opening..but.. there wasn't any... jo was saying it's probably becos the venue was esplanade, that's why most of the dances were like contemporary... modern.. and not so much hip hop...the teachers' dance, though, were definitely much better than last yr... haha.. wif those stiff movements.. v funny, but i still 'pei fu' them for having time to practice despite all the work they need to do.. Still, i was pretty impressed with all the dances, dancers, and choreographers... xwei was like in most of the dance.. pro!

i'm getting my birkenstock tmr.yea!!!!

study study study.. gimme a break!

yesterday morning, she gave a lecture on how we shld be studying almost every waking moment of the day, and that we shldn't go town cos we're not j1s.(c'mon, i bet she's also telling the j1s not to go town cos of they prob didn't do well for ct). i'm like-GIVE ME A BREAK! made me feel soo guilty for watching pirates of the carribean aft that. bleh.

btw, the show is quite good.. esp johnny depp!!! he is such a wonderful amazing actor!!! wonder why i didn't notice that in the first movie...

bt2 results-GOOD! improvement in every subj [except for gp, which i was so close to failing.]
math-B
bio-B
chem-C
i almost got A for bio, but i shld be thankful i got a B. cos initially rumours were spreading that essay was badly done.. so.. ya,i'm happy i got a B... but,i'm kinda worried.. cos if i get these grades for bt2, that means i have to work extra extra hard to do even better for prelims(if not, maintain)... kinda pressurizing...

i wanna go shopping!!! (only less than 2 wks to end of GSS)
i wanna buy more accesories to make my earrings!!!
i wanna buy the germany jersey...(shld i buy?shld i buy?)

i wanna do all of these, and still be able to have the time and moltivation to study.. i hate option topics.. so much to study...

all out!

germany is out. late 2 goals scored by italy. if they had sustained for another 2 min, victory wld have gone to the german team. sobs. all 3 of my fav teams are out.. shld have supported one more team... think i'll be rooting for italy tmr.. although i think france will win. nvm... more importantly, hope germany wins tonight's match against portugal.

this world cup has really been very entertaining and informative. as in, it's thru this world cup that made me start noticing players that have been ard but went unnoticed. well, that's becos i dun watch epl. maybe when the season starts, i'll start watching some of it..

bt2 results:
so far so good.. made improvements in math.. but not sure issit my effort that has paid off or that the paper was supposedly easy. as for chem, though i screwed up mcq, i still manage to get the grade i was aiming for.. left bio, can pass but dunno whether will get a good grade. i muz say, this bt2 results are prob my best since i came to jc. means that i'll have hope for my a levels.

another disappointment

andy roddick is out of wimbledon. only the 3rd round and he was defeated by this unseeded andy murray. so disappointing. this year has been really poor for roddick. it was bad enuf he lost to blake(andy has won him 6 times in previous 6 matches) in stella artois... wat's wrong wif roddick???

maritina hingis is out too.. and she was wearing this low cut outfit.. hmm... weird.. not safe i wld say..

:(

england:out!

this is my personal opinion. hope no one gets offended.. pls dun take it too seriously.

england vs portugal
the match started.. pretty alrite.. no one scored during the first half.
then second half, rooney got sent off, i think it's for pushing c.ronaldo.
so england down to 10men. but they still managed to hold on to the 0-0 draw until after extra time.
there was penalty.
3 out of 4 shots by england was saved by the gk.
portugal won by penalty kicks. 3-1

i was SO DISAPPOINTED... with these ppls:
1. rooney: trouble maker!!! cos the team to go down to 10 men. i dun understand why everyone's been saying he's such a great player.
2.the referee: red card for a slight push? issit really necessary?
3.the coach: that wateva formation with only one striker up front! totally not working.
4.frank lampard: i was feeling sad for him in the past matches, cos he had so many shots at goal, but none actually went in. but to lose the penalty kick? totally disappointing. i tot he's supposed to be the best player in epl???
5.steven gerrad: the moment i see him walking to shoot the penalty, i knew he would score. boy, was i wrong!!! and to think he has scored twice in the previous matches. it shld have been a piece of cake.

Yup, that's about all. whoever said england shld avoid penalty kicks, whoever is right.
however, i do wanna say that john terry had did a commendable job in defending goals against england. he's the only man i can say, in every match, helped 'save the day' at some point of time. he was tearing at the end.. poor guy.

Brazil is out. how unbelievable. i have yet to watch the match so i can't comment.

sobs.. i support 3 teams. 2 of them are out. i really hope germany wins it this time! *prays hard*

bt2 - done

bio paper was alrite.. except some of the questions.. i still think bio paper is the easiest among the 3 papers.. hope i get a D or C..

went to pizza hut and then watch the movei - just my luck.
the movie was quite alrite... very funny and lame at certain parts.. was quite surprised at the fact that they featured McFly... Was ok overall:)

they're gg thru the papers starting next week. so soon! haven't 'rest' enuf yet, and they're gg to shock us. bleh. hope i dun fare too badly.

can finally watch world cup at ease! yea! go germany, brazil, england!!!

world cup

yesterday's gp was ok.. but i think i might have interpret the que wrongly...eeks! but then, that's always how i felt after writing an essay.. hope i dun do too badly.

i'm addicted to the world cup. almost. i can't help thinking of the matches.. I want to watch them all! But i noe i can't afford to.. we were having a discussion yesterday abt doing badly for BT. i was saying, i have an excuse for doing badly, cos i've been watching the world cup... HAHA.. But i muz make it clear. I did study during the holidays

If i dun do well, hmm.. i dunno. something's wrong. i dun expect myself to do VERY WELL, but i wanna get a decent pass for all my subj.

Can't wait for BT to be over. got lots of shopping to be done. and lots of world cup matches to be watched..

btw, i'm supporting these 3 teams: england, germany, and brazil. yesh!

update on bt2

have been studying.. not sure whether it's effective. But i've definitely put in effort and alot of time.. This is the first hols i'm studying more than watching the tv. And these days, the only show i watch is world cup matches- esp those with cute guys! haha.. like aussie and england. England's match against T&T is the only match tt i watched from start to end. The rest, i juz watched a few min. The best part is when i'm there to watch the actual goal (not the replay)

ms ng told lj and cheryl the bt, they(maybe refering to ALL of us) shld be able to get 'B'
then mr yeo told us, that we shld all aim for a 'D'.
Meaning: Bio paper is doable.
Chem paper- need to study extra hard, to get above 50marks. -.-'''

I hope the math paper is of similar standard to the revision paper that the teacher gave.

I have my targets.. I hope to achieve them. More imptantly, i hope i can REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT I'VE LEARN.

post-aviva open

Aviva Open is over. OVER. Went to orchard to celebrate wm & lj's bdae. Was hoping to see Andrew Smith. Of course, we didn't see him, he's probably on his way back to england. Life goes on.

Watched So You Think You Can Dance. Winner is Nick. It was a great show, but i just wasted 1hr45min watching it.

Started doing work after the show. I was just stoning. Like, i've no idea wat exactly was i supposed to do. I'm so lagging behind the schedule that i made for myself last week. Think i'll do a new one. Anyways, I'm not sure if I still rmb wat i touched on last week.

I'm at THE STAGE again. The stage whereby i'm not sure what i'm doing and i dunno how to get things done. LIke, i still have 2 weeks(gd news), but ALOT OF TOPICS UNTOCHED(bad news).

I'm so pissed at myself. I juz can't find the moltivation. I have survived the past 10yrs of education, and i know i wil survive this one. The point is: Do i want to? NO. Do i need to? YES. And even if i survived this one, i dun think my grades will be fantastic.

Oh gosh, wat happened to me wanting to go to NYP for physiotherapy course? I'm losing it.. Totally losig it.

Someone save me. please.

I wonder how everyone else is coping... Probably better than me.

aviva open final

Peter Gade is the champion for aviva open men's singles! yea! He beat Kenneth Jonassen in straight sets.. Not very exciting, like kinda smooth for gade. The exciting match is the mixed doubles between england and indonesia. It was such a close fight between the 2 pairs.. And the spectators kept mimicking the sound that the indo guy makes when he smashes the shuttlecock.. woah.. the atmosphere... it's juz so exciting.. angie was like so 'ji dong' Then the funny part is that in the third set, when england was down 21-22(match pt for indo) then emms made a smash and the indo pair missed it. emms thought it was in and was like 'yes!'. then the indo pair turn ard and saw the shuttlecock was out, and "YES" And, yes, the indonesian pair won.. Superb! How embarrassing for emms to 'yes!' when they lost the match.. But it was really, the most exciting match out of the 5 finals. I think is the only match that went on to 3 sets..

Yup, so while watching (me, angie, sw, lj), some of us went to get autographs fr some of the players. angie ask the england pair to sign her ipod!! crazy girl.. then me and lj asked baochunlai(fr china) to sign.. he's like super fair(like xiaoming), i call him 'zhao bai'. ya, we heard that angie got his autograph but he seemed v 'dao'. He was juz sitting a few seats in front of us, so we walked down, asked him to sign on our pass, and he mumbled smthg like 'chen hong lai le mah?' i was like huh? lucky lj understood and replied tt we got his autograph a few days ago. then lj asked to take a pic wif him. So i held the camera, and i could see he's got super huge attitude problem la! he was like so not focused onto taking the photo, kept gazing elsewhere, being super impatient. MY GOSH! after i took the pic for lj, we went back to our seats. i cannot stand this guy! and lj is like 'he's cool' -.-'''

oh, then we asked this england player, andrew smith to sign our pass too.. he's like so poor thing.. he's out in the third rd. then he was seating a few seats behind gade and jonansen. cos, it was aft the men's finals match, then everyone was like rushing there to take pics wif gade.. then i noticed tt smith kept looking at gade and his fans taking photos wf him.. Smith looks like he's envious of him... SO, we went to ask for his autograph.. Afterall, both me and lj watched him played during our shift, so we do KNOW who he is..he seems nice, and CUTE. but i didn't take photo wif him(REGRETS!) cos it felt weird.. like everyone is taking wif the finalist, and here i am taking wif some unknown guy... haha.. Oh, then i didn't ask for jonansen's autograph and photo too.. he sat right in front of gade.. Then all the ppls wif pass rushed to gade, and jonassen seemed like he was being 'forgotten'.. Poor thing..(REGRETS!)

Well, i shld be happy. oh and peter gade changed back to this tee shirt that he wore when he took photo wif me on tue.. hehe.. and he TUCKED IN HIS SHIRT FULLY. i watched as he stuffed his shirt into his pants. i was like.. er.. weird. but he still looks gd.. juz that he's wearing grey shirt and grey pants.. Anyway, who cares?! He's the WINNER! and i have both his photo(taken wif me) and his autograph! I shldn't be sad... Nvm, can always ask to take photo wif smith and jonansen next yr!! CAN' WAIT!

aviva open - quater finals

i wasn't planning to go for the quarter finals today. then lj msg me in the noon and ask me if i wanted to. i was thinking 'peter gade vs ronald susilo, shld be quite exciting.. i wanna watch both of them play'. But then again, i thought it would be a waste of time, cos the travelling time is pretty long.. and i haven't study anything in the day yet.. so, in the end, after much contemplation, i decided 'no, i'm not gg, it's a waste of time, and i need to be studying'.

So, i took a nap at 3 plus, woke up at 5 plus, and wanted to go jogging. But it rained, so i juz sat in the living room, munching on the koko krunch, while staring at the tv set. I was watching Holland V, then dinner was ready, so i went to eat. I look at the time '530.. match will begin in 2 hrs..wonder how it'll be..'. Finally, i made the decision, 'I WANT TO GO WATCH THE MATCH!' I msged lj, she was on her way home. Luckily, she was still up for it. So, we met at 7 at kallang, and rushed to the stadium.

Just in time for the match, walked thru the entrance, and walked past peter gade.. hehe.. There was quite alot of spectators, most of them were there to support ronald susilo. We set at the line judges area.. So the match began. Everytime ronald scored a point, the spectators will ALL CLAP VERY LOUDLY. then if peter gade scores, can only hear some applause, and my extreme loud clapping.(I'm on peter's side!! Go PETER!) yup, thankfully, and rightfully, peter gade won, in straight sets,(he almost lost the first). 21-19, 21-16.. yea!

Oh, while i was busy watching the match, lj was watching the one gg on in court 5, which was china's chen hong vs this tall and gd looking Malaysian. It took chenhong 3 sets before he won the match..

After that, i heard fr a fren that the bus comes hourly, so i wanted to go outside and wait for gade to get his autograph. So ard 840, we left the court area. (before that we let chen hong sign on our pass, but according to him, my marker was not very good :S) ya, so, then we opened the door, and THERE HE WAS!!! PETER GADE!!! and his IBA coach.. they were walking towards us, so we were like, 'yea'!!!! There was this uncle behind them, asked gade to sign on his shirt. So, we juz like waited, and then we asked him to sign my 2 photos and lj's pass.. then me and lj were like 'thank you thank you!' And gade replied 'welcome welcome' So sweet!!!

yea! so i got a photo wif him and his autograph.. woah, that's cool man, i shld do that for the other sports events in the future. Oh there was this cute orange shirt guy whom mel, sw, sheena, and another fren was so crazy over wif. but they didn't manage to get his pic. (this is the guy whom sheena and mel thought were peter gade) I didn't really look closely at his face, so can't give my comments yet. From far, looks average lor.. It's ok, maybe we'll take a photo wif him aft the finals on sun. *prays hard that gade gets into finals and wins the aviva open* woah, then liddat i'd be one of the few ppls who have his autograph and picture and have contact wif him.. hehe..

mood :over the moon

aviva open rnd 3

It started quite bad, cos when i took over amanda's shift, she was pretty pissed off.Apparently, she got ignored and even scolded by some players and the ic... Thankfully, my shift went on pretty smoothly.. Yes, there were players who exit by the entrance, but then i did do my job, so it's not my fault, and it's understandable tt they'd exit by the entrance when it's like a few metres away..

There were a couple of exciting matches. Like the indonesia men's doubles.. they were against england. The indonesians played v well! I was so impressed, and one was them was tall and cute(like mario ancic), but they lost in the end :( The england pair, on the other hand, seemed old and stiff.. I've no idea how they won.. But they are seeded playes, so maybe that's why.

Then there was peter gade against chenyu. First set was pretty smooth for gade. Then the second one was not so, cos chenyu wanted make a comeback.. it was super tight! And gade got pissed when the line judges said that the shuttlecock was in instead of out.. Ya, he was really pissed, he threw the shuttlecock to the service judge fr then on(usually, players who wanna change it wld walk over there wif the shuttlecocks on their racket face). Yup, so chenyu won the 2nd, very close, like 24-22. Then came the third set. Woah! Peter gade was like so "i want it badly' He smacked at any opp that came.. So he was like leading 16-8, then somehow afterwards, he kept smashing the shuttlecocks out(like 2cm fr the line).. then it became something like 20-18, then 20-19. But he managed to win the match, i think it was 22-20.. PHEW!

Ronald Susilo won his third rnd match too, and will be up against Peter Gade tonite!!! [oh, and i juz found out his birthday was yesterday! damn! me and lj didn't wish him happy bdae when we met him in the room!] Yup, so, i think gade will win, he'd better win..

peter gade

Yea!!! i took photo with one of the world's finest badminton player - PETER GADE. Woohoo!! So delighted.. And he's gd-looking too.. hehe.

Sheena and mel saw him yesterday nite when he went for training.. But they didn't take the photo wif him cos he was wif a coach... Ya, then i was like so jealous tt they get to even see him.. And Sheena was like 'i'm gg to take photo wif him to make ur jealous!' Ha, and now, i've already taken the photo wif him!!!

So today started out wif us doing the same thing. sitting at the corner, then if need arise, we'll have to ask the players to exit after their match ends.. But most of the time, we were juz stoning there... And it was freaking cold. So, i was like shivering at the last hr out of 5.

Then after our shift ended, which means all the matches of the day have been played, it was time to switch shifts wif lj and angie, who were doing venue training officers.. I took a look at their schedule, and DENMARK WAS THE FIRST TEAM TO USE THE COURTS!!!! yea!!! yup, so we stayed on to wait for them to come.. We even go to the entrance to see them enter one by one.. then, Peter Gade came!!! Woohoo! they came in a big grp, so cldn't get a chance to take pics.. So, afterwards, the 4 of us juz sat at the tables and watch the players train... And i kept wondering when peter gade will be free and alone..


The moment came! He took a shirt and walked towards the toilet alone. SO amanda and i followed him(it's my idea to follow, amanda agreed reluctantly..) So we waited outside.. there was no one, so it was the perfect opportunity to take the pic. THEN, he came out. he didn't really notice us until i asked to a photo wif him. BUT he said ' sorry i gtg... do a interview, take wif u later"(smthg liddat.. cldn't really hear) I was like.. ok... Did i mention, my heart was pumping freaking hard before, during and after i spoke to him?!

So we walked back to the tables diasppointed [i recalled a england rugger saying that to me, but in the end left hurriedly before i cld even take the photo wif him].. stoned there.. and i tried to study bio... FINALLY, the time was up, the team had to go, so when he walked towards the entrance( near out table), we stood up and walked towards him.. He saw us, so he came over, put the bag down. AND WE TOOK THE PHOTO!!! individually... me and him, then amanda and him... I was so overjoyed.. He even like, bend down slightly to be closer to us.. haha.. sweet.. and he placed his arms on our back.. as wat a normal caucasian wld do..

But i realised i didn't really make any eye contact wif him.. i was juz so happy the photo was captured on my cam.. haha.. Ya.. so yea!!! happy me!!!

Actually, i didn't even noe who he was until a month ago, when amanda told me abt him. if fact amanda didn't even noe how he look like, cos it's her fren who was crazy over him.. But, I did my research, and watched a couple of matches between him and lindan.. so i do noe smthg abt him now...

Yea, i'm a happy girl again!!! I juz enjoy doing these sort of events.. but i wonder what other sports events do spore hold? it's like... not much.... but anyways, i'm glad i did this.. can't wait for next yr's spore sevens.. haha..

*hmpf*

beware: there's this predator out there. he's preying on us. he's creepy. beware of your actions and words.

Went to collect the tshirt and pass for the aviva open. They had to put our FACE on the pass!!! so clever.. but, i look totally hideous in tt pic. The green shirt reminds me of golf, esp tiger woods.

then i saw the schedule.. wasn't too pleased wif it.. i'm doing 2 days, 13 hrs only.. while some others are doing more... hiaz.. but it's not really their fault that they get to do more, afterall, it's the lady who made the arrangement. And really, i dun need that much cip hours liao(provided rina gives me my 13hrs of cip).. juz tt i put alot of effort(and money for all e msgs), and it didn't turn out to be wat i want.

my gosh! i feel dumb abt writing this.. well, that' s me. being the ever so calculative girl. wonder why i still fail math though.. haha...


Anyways, i'll be doing an extra day wif amanda.. hopefully, we'll get to take pics wif big stars like peter gade & ronald susilo... but chances are not so high.. cos the players are supposed to meet the media aft their match... (unlike ruggers who juz go and take a bath immediately aft the match). So, we'll see..

x3

x3 is not bad... especially the popcorn part.. haha.. i meant, i enjoy eating the popcorn... so tasty. yum yum.i dun usually eat popcorn during movies.. i think i'm addicted to it..
the show itself.. not bad.. except that some ppls have v little parts.. like cyclops:( then, that boy with wings, whom we all thought will have some major role, turns out to be juz another ordinary mutant... the climax part.. was alrite.. the show is too short!!!

yay!!! hols are finally here!!! can concentrate on revising for bt2.. however.. i'm worried i might not be revising my work in the most effecient method.. hmm... and then there's the GREAT SINGPORE SALE!!! so tempting!!!

MI 3

went to watch MI:III.. is pretty good... impressive.. but the plot abit.. expected.. ya.. then there were some quite ridiculous scenes... like:

1. the part where he flew fr from building to another.. (i tot it was a remake of spiderman la! it's so... very impossible!!! i guess that's the reason for the name of the movie. ..but still... he should go audition for spiderman 3 or smthg..)


2. this is the 'off' moment'. the part where ethan ask the wife to switch on the switch, and then he suddenly ' stop! ..... i love u'.!!! argh! like so outta place... it was such a crucial moment leh... and the way he said it is like.. very casual... ya.. quite funny tho.


3. following that, when we all tot he was dead, and the wife was doing CPR... couldn't wake him up... then we all tot he really die liao.. then the wife got so emotional, she started banging on his chest.. THEN, he suddenly woke up, sat straight and point the gun at this already dead guy... this part quite er.. 'not logical' abit fake.. hehe.. but i'm glad he didn't die.


overall, the movie is pretty good. i'd give 3.5stars.. i juz didn't really appreciate maggie q's acting.. no.. maybe the fact that she's asian.. sorry.. she looks really gorgeous tho.. and there's the other cute guy.. but the 3 other person in ethan's team seem to have v little show time.. ya, the action part pretty impressive..


ok.. after this, i hope to watch posiedon and x3..

sian.

yesterday's weather was very good.. very cooling.. however, i still failed the 2.4 test.. felt so bad.. cos cheryl ran with me too.. wasted her effort.. so sorry...

then, during chem spa, i made a utterly stupid mistake.. i wrote alcohol first instead of aldehyde.... so dumb la!!! this is the outcome of PURE MEMORISING!!! rah!


then there was this discussion abt the ymca proposal.. we all got very pissed off with tc.. i dun want to talk abt it anymore.. he's juz such as asshole sucker.


the nicest part of the day was the band concert.. it was super good!!! not only were the music, there were great visual effects too!! like the cute surong!!! haha.. she so cute la!! and i was impressed with that jeremy tay guy.. he played euphonium so well... so sweet of him to dedicate the song to his mum... too bad yihui wasn't there to watch him.. oh, then there was the gd-looking saint's alumni guy, benjamin yeo.. looked like a matured version of surong's peanut.. haha.. but benjamin is so much better looking... :)

deep shit.

we're in! (happy and sad) we're in deep shit(sad)

we're selected to carry out our proposal for the YMCA-Citibank youthforcauses.

i'm speechless, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
huixin is very upset and stressed out in the super dramatised form..
Aiping & Shiying are both juz.. shocked


our proposal really sux. really. look at the budget plan, it doesn't make sense at all.. it's so amateurish... [my heart is still pumping pretty hard]


things can really go outta hand.. bio spa aside, i still have to commit 4 days of cip at aviva open(that i'm interested) but now that there's this stupid.. [it's been so long since i last use the F word] so Fked up... i'm really.. in deep shit


initially, it was my (stupid) plan to juz ANYHOW write a proposal and hand in, so that our testimonial will look ok(at least we participated in smthg)... we weren't expecting to get in.. afterall, the proposal really sux. it's totally my fault. i'm sorry.


if we're j1s or j3s, i certainly dun mind carrying it out.. but j2s! i juz got back our report card.. not fantastic.. consistent, according to ms soh ( but i think it's more like consistently bad). i'm supposed to spend more time on studies la... at this rate. my testimonial will look fantastic.. and my grades? HORRENDOUS.


good luck to me..

confusion

went for the health care tok on fri.. there was 2 toks abt pharmacy and lab med, whic i felt were TOTALL BORING. not the speakers, (although they were) but the career itself.. eeks! besides, i wldn't have the grades to get there (sa only had 6 ppls gg to pharmacy in 2004) ya, finally the last speaker came on to tok abt physiotherapy.. i think it's really quite interesting lor.. it's not like the job requires much of those chemistry and complicated stuff.. i mean, the body is complicated.. but i'd rather work on helping people than researching on some new drug... i noe, i may not appear as the super sociable kinda person.. but i feel that i would wanna have a career that allows me to interact with people, rather than being in the lab!


ya, e speaker informed us of the routes to that physio. includes gg nyp(the only local option) for 3 years to get diploma before converting to a degree which takes 1 yr, either overseas or local. there's a scholarship too!! my gosh!!! i want! for speech therapy, which i was also kinda keen.. there are NO LOCAL institutions, so MUZ go overseas.. (no way).. THEN, the most shocking part(worrying, actually), is that she say the the competition for the course is pretty stiff.. 50 outta 200!!! i was like, jaw totally dropped! at that moment, i tot, there is absolutely no way i can make it there. no way. and then i was like, shit.. if i dun take physio, what am i gonna do?? oh no!!! i'm so freaking worried and disappointed and rejected...


how how? on the way back, angeline and i were like saying, we shld study very hard, so we could both get into the course.. i'm like.. er... 'if u get in, i can't get it liao.' oh sshit. how?! if i really wanna get into the course, i'd have to really STUDY VERY HARD!!!


but then again.. what if i dun like it? wat if i get into nyp and then realise that i dun like physio.. wat am i gg to do?? 4 years leh! i dun wanna waste my life away studying for smthg i;m not interested in. personally, i dun think we shld juz 'see what our grades are first'.. i think at this stage, if we each know the direction we wanna go, studying for the rest of the year will be so much 'easier' cos we'll keep our purpose in mind and not give up until we reach that goal.


it is very impt that i figure if phsyio is the path that i wanna take... hmm.. i'm so confused... then again, if i really want physio, can i get the grades? i'm soo freaking dejected now.. only abt 10 weeks to bt 2.



bio spa sux!!

bleh.

the sch say they'll do smthg abt our pw grades.. hopefully they'll review how our stuff are graded, and regrade it, so tt they'll give a more 'deserving' grade.. and they did gave a good reason for their 'slow' response- saying it's becos of the long weekend break. ok fine. i'll see what they do...


went for blood donation today.. had a full meal at 1 plus.. then waited for ping til 3.15.. surprisingly, there were alot of ppls at the bloodbank today.. alot of male workers... ya, so i was kinda nervous abt whether i'll faint.. cos i DID felt dizzy and faint the last time i donated blood... so, the first 'injection' the staple shot - was actually quite painful... i was like... ouch! ok, not so loud la.. then went into the room... waited for quite long, before the nurse came to help me.. and the first anticeptic(i can't spell!) shot was also quite painful... i was supposed to relax the stressball, but i still squeeze it, then i saw that the vein(or wateva) kinda swelled.. hurhur..eeks! then afterwards, she inserted the needle.. also abit pain, cos she seem to have forced it in more.. aiyoyo..

overall: PAIN


after the donation, immediately after e nurse took out the needle, my heart started pumping really hard, and ONCE AGAIN, i felt dizzy!!! it was so argh! headache, cold sweat breaking out(due to low blood pressure, NOT the hotness). i was thinking to myself : I AM SO NOT DONATING BLOOD EVER AGAIN! ya.. the nurses came over.. the doc came over... fanned me, gave me drink... ya.. made me feel better... then the nurse say, 'next time u come, tell the nurses to give me a smaller pack for donation...so, u dun really have to stop donating blood, juz donate lesser'. that makes sense.. and so i felt.. ok maybe i'll give it ANOTHER shot.


then i stood up, and walked to the cafe. surprising i was feeling OK.. very good. no dizziness.. i could get my own refreshments w/out feeling dizzy... and i took a BUS home!! haha...i wanted to take cab, but all hired... and ya, i didn't faint on the way.. i felt normal...


so, overall, it was good and bad.. bad, becos my dizziness was immediately after the needle was pulled out(the first donation, i still have time to tok to ping before i felt dizzy).. the good thing, i recovered very much faster from my dizzy spells.. haha...


i'm starting to rethink abt the 50 donations... BUT i'm willing to give it another shot...

feeling the heat already.

rahhh... juz started doing the math revision hw for those who've failed bt1... i can't do!!! i feel so useless... i juz can't rmb stuff... it's mid april liao... next week is gonna be super busy.. got napfa, chem test, LOTS OF ASSIGNMENTS to be handed in, 4 shifts of cip, tuition... my gosh... THIS is wat JC LIFE IS ABOUT.. except that i lack a proper cca(which i replaced it with cip).. then, i still need to train for 2.4, cos i hope to pass at the end of the month(which seems abit too fast, now that i look at my fully packed schedule- it means i only have a week left)


block test 1 results were horrible even though i sounded relieved at my previous entry.. i'm really at a loss as to what i can do... so much to study. so little time... 18 years old... it means i've been in the edu system for like 11 years!!! my gosh... suffered so much... i wish i could juz end it at As... unfortunately, in such a MERITOCRATIC country like spore.. As will get me NOWHERE.. and it's not like my As result will be fantastic anyway... wat to do?!


yh told me she may be gg for overseas studies... i'm so envious... if only my folks were WEALTHY... (i'm contented with what i have liao, tho..)


i'm at this phase again-i'm really clueless... i dun wanna study for the sake of studying... i need an aim... but like what yh says, reality is more than often different from what we really want... studying marine animals is what i'm interested, but my grades and financial status are saying 'impossible. be realistic'.


hmm.. it's 9 now.. i shld prob snap back to reality - finish up my hw.. go to bed... and hmm.. stop thinking abt pw and start dreaming of jeff wong!

argh!

yesterday, we went to get our pw results.. i was telling shuwei that i'm expecting a 3 cos ms soh already said our class did badly. and yup, i was rite, the whole class except deb got a 3. i was feeling ok abt it lah.. 60% of the sch got 3.. so, maybe we really screwed up.. "MOVE ON", i told myself.

last nite, i went for dinner with ap, wl, simin, yh, des, xinyi. i asked abt their results.. and they were like mostly 2 except dunno who get 1.. and i was like!!!!! what the hell?!?!?! ok, i dun tok abt jj and pj. but, ap, wl, sy and yh all got a 2!!!! no offense to them... but if they got a 2, shldn't i get a 2 too?!!! afterall, fr wat i heard fr them, for each component of their work, it seems like there's alot of mistakes even up till they hand up the last draft... and mine is like, most requirements were fulfilled... so why issit i get a 3???? i dun usually make this sort of statements, but i seriously feel that I DESERVE BETTER THAN A 3! like, c'mon, i did 5 PIs leh!!! some of the others did like only 2 at most?! and ms soh was definitely pleased with my final PI draft... and for the rest of the components, i did until the comments given were satisfactory before i hand in. so i was really pissed with this shit result.


today is my bdae.. i didn't wanna tok abt pw... if fact i was fine with my results UNTIL i heard the other ppls.. i'm so ARGH!!! my class got a 3.... 28 outta 29!!! like, isn't it WEIRD???? how's that possible??? if like one third got 2.. then ok , wateva. but 28 of us!!! and it's not like deb is the only one who's eng is gd.. other ppls like jac and sw, their stuff always got praised in class.. what happend???!!! IN MY OPINION, there is seriously something WRONG with the TEACHER!!! whoever that teacher is.. my goodness, can't she/he like rechecked everything if she realised the whole class 3s??!! it makes no sense at all... it's NOT FAIR! if they wanna make it fair, get cambridge to grade us instead! that i'll have nothing to say!

and poor ms soh and gary and whoever in the class who blames themselves. it's none of our fault.. and it's definitely not ms soh's fault! in fact i think she did a wonderful job in explaining the requirements for each component, and she was so nice that she marked ALL of our drafts(there's alot cos everyone kept redoing in order to fulfill ALL the requirements) ... so i feel sad for her too... she did so much work, all of us did so much work too! and this is the kinda grades we get???!!! c'mon.. there muz be smthg wrong!


complain to the sch?! oh forget it!! all they gonna do is find some way and juz shut our mouths(like they always do).. it's so ARGH!




ANyWAY, now that i'm done shooting my mouth off.. i shall lighten things up.. first of all, i wanna thank my class ppls, angeline, lj, sw, cheryl, eve, mel, surong, sheena, jo, huixin, wm, amanda, for the cute pink/grey le coq sportif jacket they gave.. nice jacket, nice price... hehe:) and then there's the whole other gang : simin, ap, xinyi, yh, wl, des, for spending the nite, till 1130 with me at orchard... and the presents they gave.. thanks alot ppls!!! love u all!!!

...

today was supposed to be a good day.. there wasn't supposed to be any 2.4.. at least not for the few of us who didn't do 5 stations last week. so i was feeling pretty good.. no tummyaches in the morning...


so we had chem lect... i muz say - mdm lee is really a very effective lecturer.. .she may be very fierce at times.. and her voice can be quite sharp and loud.. but she can really drill the stuff into our head.. it's like, we dun really have a choice but to listen. hopefully she'll lect us more often... unlike for other lectures, like math.. i'm super easily distracted cos i dun understand, and the lecturer is so slow and soft, and she juz doesn't get things across...


anyway, the not so good part abt the day is pe. mr ho casually said that everyone will be running for 2.4.. so i was like.. hmm.. 'can't be.. i dun think so..'. then he got kun to lead us to doing warmup..at that time, it was pretty dark, and looks like it was gg to rain anytime soon. so i kept praying it will rain, so we no need to run. Next, someone ask him 'are we all doing 2.4 today?' and he was like 'didn't i say already? we are all doing 2.4 today!' oh shit!!! what the hell?!?!?! i'm so not prepared.. he blew the whistle. and off everyone went... no choice lor.. juz run... and i was praying so hard that it will NOT rain.. cos it'll affect my running... in the end, it did rain.. not v heavily, but my glasses were covered with raindrops, and i felt as though i was crying, when it's juz the rain drops. yup, so i took 18.24min.. fail, but still an improvement from my 19.50 in my first trial... so it's ok.. i'm alrite.. actually, i kinda predicted my timing... it's gg according to my plan.. so HOPEFULLY, i'll get a better timing at end of the month.. maybe bronze... that's my aim anyway...


yup... that's abt all that happened today.. anyway, i juz realised that i was actually the one who asked jeff wong to take a pic.. hehe!! and before that, on day 1, i our eyes met a couple of timess when he was getting ready for the match!!! yea! ya.. he looks super cool in his tight jersey, and super cute in his casual attire.. (sigh) i juz can't stop thinking abt him..

standard chartered singapore sevens

okok.. i'm so happy!!!! i've got loads to tell..ok, went to do cip at national stadium for the standard chartered spore sevens.


on fri-briefing/dryrun = blah blah... we were late...(i was rite abt the timing tho..hehe).. so, were were told our duty was to bring the teams to their holding rm before their game starts.. simple. btw, we also saw ronald susilo running, on the outer perimeter in the stadium.. oh, and we all spotted this cute guy whom we all agree is cute.. (according to eve, she caught hime staring at her 3 times. hmm...)


sat= got our teeshirts.. dryfit x2. so we started.. the canadian team was early.. they were warming up, rite in front of the voluteers(us).. and i saw this cute part where they lift each other by their butt!! so cute!!! i got it on video!!! haha.. yup, china was early too.. and then the rest of the 16 teams start streaming in..

so, i was in charge of these few teams on sat - scotland(nice coach, we tok abt the weather).they quite auto.., i haven't say anything then they move to holding rm liao... that's not the same for korea, and japan tho.. can't even communicate w the ppls... ya.. so.. while i was outside the holding rm, ALOT of players passed by... and i was juz like.. trying not to make it obvious that i'm look at them.. some of them even wrapped in towels and then come out of changing rm.. so embarrassing!(for me!).. haha.. but i saw that they actually wore smthg inside.. yup.. so that's abt wat we did.. during our break, we also went up the grandstand to watch the games.. ok, so at the end of the day, we were all sitting at the volunteers area.. watching the players sign autographs for the ppls... and i wanted to take photos w them!!! but i was SO SHY!!! i didn't dare too... ya... so many cute and gorgeous hunks! AAAHHHH!!!! there's this canadian one, the hongkong no.9!!!! er... ya.. can't rmb liao... but the hongkong one was the main one, cos he's so extremely cute... he pass by me like a couple times!!! (sigh.) ya.. so basically.. tt day i was super exhausted.. and very upset and disappointed at myself for not taking any photos WITH the players.. ( i did took photos OF them... )


sun= bad start! the ic was like.. 'today is gonna be v impt.. we're gg to cut down on the no. of volunteers.. if u're not needed, go up to the gallery and watch the math.. and DON"T take photos with the players cos their matches will be very tight..(blah)'. ya, so i was super sad and down when i know i can't take photos with them... argh! and then during noon, we heard that mel and eve took pics with one player! i was so jealous!!!!

BUT THEN, at ard 4 plus 5... somehow, i went to look for eve and wenmin, who were hiding out at the holding rm area.. and i reluctantly yet excitedly stayed.. (cos when i enter, i heard the ic scolding some guy) ya..so we waited.. and finally! i took photos with some of the guys.. a few only la... eve and wenmin took with almost everyone who were not getting ready for the match.. ya.. but i wasn't sure of their name.. and i cldn't rmb their faces.. so there was 1 guy, who we took with, and i almost wanted to take with him again! hahaha..


then afterwards, we went for dinner.. the best meal so far.. cos everything was WARM. ya.. at that time, i was like.. still hoping to take pic with hongkong no.9. his name is jeff wong. but by the time we went back, i didnt see him liao.. we went to the carpark.. thankfully hongkong's bus was still there.. i wanted to stake out there one.. but eve wanted to watch the finals between england and fiji(fiji won). so AT THE END of everything.. we were like all looking for players to take photos with.. (we=me, wenmin and eve) security was prett tight.. but we still managed to get a couple of photos.. thankfully, the ic wasn't at that area where all the players were... [oh, there was this england player who DIDN"T take photo with me, he says to do so after the match, but in the end, no time, and i only saw him wrapped in a towel, and walked to the bus:(]


ya, SO, we were all waiting at the area, waiting to take pics with the england players.. and the next thing i knew - jeff wong!!!! woohoo!!! he walked out with a couple of frens..playfully hitting one another... i hurriedly nudged at wenmin... and i took a photo with jeff wong! yay! at first i tot wenmin was too fast, cos i saw the flash before i was standing next to him, but then went i got into position, he placed his arm ard my back, and i manage to nudge closer to him(eeks, i juz rmb my face was super oily! haha.. hope he didn't feel that) yay!! i was so happy la!! And after that, he smiled at me and said 'cheers!' my gosh!!! AAHHH!!! So cute!!!!! [He's on my display pic, ya.. he's abit short.. in fact, one of the shortest players.. but he's extremely cute please!!!!! I can feel his bubbliness and friendliess and everything!!! ]


yup, so tat was the main part... all in all, I took 5 solo shots with the players... ok lah.. although I didn't take with that Canadian and new Zealand players..nvm... I've got JEFF!!! Hoots!



So that's basically all.. I was so freaking happy the whole way home.. when I reach home, I cldn't sleep at all!!!! Cos I juz cldn't stop smiling and thinking of jeff… (sigh.) I think I finally fell asleep at 1 plus and somehow I woke up way before the alarm clock rang(at ard 5.30) and yes, I was smiling!
Oh my.. I'm juz so crazy over him rite now.. he's like my latest obsession.. oh my gosh!!! I love jeff!!!


random stuff- 1)i saw a player's naked butt!!! not on purpose!!!! they didn't close the door.. and i juz happened to glance in.. and there it was.. hmm.. so embarrassing.. lucky no one saw me seeing his butt... 2)alot of players from fiji and england juz wrapped a towel around their waist and walked to their bus at the end of the day.. 3) the england player i wanted to take with looks ABIT like andy roddick.. aiya.. i really can't rmb...


overall= an experience i'll always rmb!!! esp jeff wong!!!

Unbelievable!!!! woohoo!!!

i've got so many good news!!! i dunno where to start from!!! haha...

let's start from.. bio. okay, so for the bt1, i've got F for math and E for chem. so i tot i'm basically a goner and will have to meet parents cos there's no way i can get a B for bio to get 30 pts overall.. so.. (this part abit kiddish... will sound like a 3yr old being praised for getting the abc right. but i insist on writing cos it juz made my day).. Yup, so, ms ng was gg thru the mcq, then she was asking which statement was incorrect.. so there were 4 statements rite.. she asked me the first which i couldn't ans.. and then she asked the class abt the 3rd statement, which no one ansed.. and she said 'hmm, let me see who did well for the cardiac cycle'. so she looked at her list, looking at the bottom few,(thinking it cld be liyuan), then looked from the top, and then she said 'joyce, it's you again.' woohoo!!! it meant i did well for the que!! i was so overjoyed.. haha.. but i was thinking.. maybe it's only that part of the que... okay.. then she return the structured which i failed.. but still managed to pass if i add it up wif the mcq marks.. THEN she returned the essay part... and i got 15.5 for one of the que!!! haha.. i was so happy.. i calculated and found out i got a C..(which deb considered as anti-climax cos ms ng made it sound as tho i did excellent.. ).. anyway.. i'm happy.. cos i got the highest for tt particular que... (see, i told u.. i sound so immaturish as i write this sort of pri sch stuff... can tell how depressed i've been.. so anything, no matter how small, that makes me happy..has made me happy!).. ya, so at that pt, i got a overall of 25 pts.. C E F


then came to gp. i wasn't sure what i'd get.. esp for compre.. cos eve said mr pang didn't like those with long ans, and mine were pretty long.. so i was kinda worried.. ya.. so for compo, i got 28.. and shuwei got 30(highest), and she was saying before tt in the toilet, that she may not do so well.. bleh. ya.. then ms soh give out the compre.. according to marks. starting fr the highest.. so she was like ' cheryl(yip), vic.. .. joyce! you also!!' i was like - so shocked !!! and can hear that the class is shocked & surprised too.. cos they were ''woah!!!" quite loud.. ya.. everyone including me, were surprised... i got a 32(+1)..so happy:) yup, so that was a B4. which means 5pts.


so overall, i got 30 pts!!!! on the dot.. dun have to meet parents!!! my goodness... i can't believe.. this has happened 3 times!!! i was juz so close to failing to meet the 30 pts, since CT1, and promos(which i failed if not for the small tests here and there) and now the BT1!!!! i really dunno how it happend!!! i juz feel so overjoyed rite now.. it's like some sort of miracle.. hmm.. maybe there's some guardian angel out there looking out for me... either that or i shld have more confidence in myself.


i noe i noe.. 30 pts! can't even make it into any uni lah.. but still.. i managed to do better than what i've predicted.. phew.. i feel like the luckiest girl on earth!


so that was happy event no. 2. after that, me, sy, and aiping.. we were deciding to go to TOUCH community.. to ask for the stamp for our proposal.. but we made a call first.. the ic wasn't available until after ard 4.. so, me and sy decided to make a trip to mac first.. and see how it goes.. at ard 4 plus.. we called sharon, the ic, but to no avil.. so sy called may tan(another person) and asked for the email add of sharon. but then maytan said sharon was back but she's juz on the phone.. so, she asked for my no. instead.. so, i was v. worried and.. at a loss.. cos i scared when she calls me, i may not know how to tell her abt our proposal... then 5 min later, sharon called back.. and since we were in the area and she was free, we went to the office to meet her.. me and sy were like so nervous!!! sy had wanted to leave, after giving my no.. but luckily sharon called back before sy had time to go..

so.. we met her! so, at first we were waiting at a office.. then both of us were like.. oh no.. oh shit.. how how??? then i was like.. 'calm down.. treat this as a learning experience.. we're amateurs.. but it'll do good for our future..'
so sharon came in, and she's actually quite a nice lady.. she explained to us abt how the Touch com operates and stuff.. so.. at first it was kinda long.. and i was wondering when she'll look at our proposal.. finally.. ard 20min later, she allowed me a chance to present.. i was not v good.. but i managed to get the idea across... and she seems okay wif it.. she added a few stuff tt we cld add on to.. and then she said.. "okay, so can you'all fill up this form? while i go get the stamp." i was like?!!! that's it??!! ohmygosh!! so easy!!!! i was so happy and on top of the moon, sun and wateva!! it was really an easy deal.. and sharon was such a nice person.. like ms soh.. cos at first, i tot these ppls wld be v strict and diff to handle.. but then it turn out okay.. phew! so, we got the stamp!!!! yea!! and we were so worried that we wldn't even get a stamp and then we won't be able to submit to ymca.. but now that that's done.. all we have to worry is whether we'll get selected or not.. i am super anxious.. cos on one hand , i'm afraid it might take up alot of our time, but then since we were able to get the stamp, it feels like we shld do something in return for the favour they have done for us.. and at the end of the session sy was saying she was feeling cold all the way(nervouse).. only to find out that i was my skin was colder than hers.. haha tt means i was more nervous than her..


so.. that's everything that happened today! so happy... i dunno wat to say.. hahahahhaha yea!

bleh.

while i'm blogging now, i'm so envious of my frens who are lunching at nydc.. i so looked forward to this day... but i got cramps... so suai... tummy aching...

the past few days were tortourous... this morning i got tummy ache, and i tot was stress... so i was like: ok, calm down. dun worry too much.. fail then fail.. I WILL BUCK UP. yes.. so rite before the paper, i went to toilet and realise IT'S HERE... what are the chances? i know it will come, but RIGHT BEFORE THE START OF THE PAPER?? well, at least i was in sch, so i didn't really have a choice of whether to take the paper or not. if i were at home, i think i'd have pon the paper... the paper was like, wat ms ng said, doable. i cld't ans 7 marks worth of que.. mcq was ok, cos quite a few came from tys which i thankfully did the nite before.. so, i think shld be can pass ..

as for chem and math.. >.< cannot make it... chem mcq maybe still can... but the rest... then for math.. so frustrating!!! first page still ok. then reach 2nd page, i know how to do the que but i juz couldn't get a proper value !!! then liddat more than 10 marks gone! the rest of the 2 que was almost 30 plus marks which i couldn't score at all!!! sure fail one lor.. argh!

now, all is over.. juz gotta wait for results.. but rite now, i think i'm moltivated to study even harder. YES I WILL!

ya, but still muz wait for my tummy aches goes away..

sick and stressed

1)this past week was really horrible... felt sick almost every morning... had to shit at home.. then go to sch/mrt and shit again... it's not the normal one.. it's like as though i stressed until i need to shit... argh! i think it's like history repeating itself.. back when i was sec 2, i often had tummyaches in the morning on the days when i have tests... then these stress related tummyache 'vanished' when i got into sec 3 cos i'm immuned to the difficulty of tests.. then now.. this past week had made me feel that i'm starting to get tummyaches due to my stress..

2)had 5 stations trial... phew.. thank goodness i pass for all.. but 2.4km.. haiz.. sure fail one.. i'll juz try my best can liao..

3)block test 1 coming up... but there's so much tutorials to do.. how to study?

4)amazing race is coming back!! woohoo!

cny

i'm actually done... no more visiting... all finished in one day... nothing much... cny is juz holiday... not much abt gathering wif relatives...


i shld probably delete hers... makes me feel weird when i see those stuff... i shall move on!


federer won!!!! woohoo!!! haha... marcos lost... hahahahaha.. i feel so mean... but i'm juz so overjoyed tt he lost!!! u noe, i wldn't have hate him if he had not beaten roddick... anyways.. i'm so glad he lost... although i'd rather he lose to roddick than federer.. haha.. but still, good job federer!!!

sobs...'aussie open'

i am so sad... roddick lost the fourth round, to some unseeded guy... i missed the first 2 sets... but from the third set, i could tell his opponent(marcos b.) was pretty good too... and i have no idea why roddick simply didn't go after any of his shots.. i think it's the distance prob...
moreover, marcos's supporters were so loud and noisy, like some tribe.. i think that kinda distracted roddick... he looks as though he was freaking out in the 4th set... i feel so sad for him.... but at the end, i think he was impressed wif his opponent too.. he said' well done, good job...'... haix.. i feel so sad for him...


then after the reporter tok to marcos... he asked him whether he'll be watching his next opponent's match or celebrating wif his supporters.. he say he'll sleep.. then, the reporter ask abt his girlfriend.. and then.. somehow.. it led to him saying his coach will be watching the match while he'll be sleeping.. wif his girlfriend... i was like... woah.. haha..ok.. ps: i hope he loses the next rd... muahahaha


well, i juz finished changing my new year wish.. gonna replace the one on the board... cos i seem to have bad feelin abt.. *ahem*.. ya...


anyways.. there'll always be a winner and loser in a competition.. it's not like Roddick has never lost before.. but i'm sure he'll grow to be even stronger.. and hopefully he'll do better next time!
