Saturday 10pm

my popo very hiong today (description is coined by shuping). LOL. keep making me laugh and laugh.

i'm at her house now - today my mission was to accompany her and help in any way needed in bao-ing ba zhang (wrapping dumplings)

Heheh! i got to wrap one bunch myself! but i only get to wrap once a year and today my po po think so highly of me (coz my first time wrapping last year produced quite beautiful ones) that she left me completely on my own... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA bad idea man...

in the end got to snip away FOUR out of 15 (est.) - couldn't passs the test. and my hands too small can only wrap small sized Ba Zhang.. hehehe :P

anw, why say she hiong leh?

today my young cousin is also here. Popo called her a fan shu becoz she kept taking the wrong things for her... it's the way she says it that makes it so farni. you know the way old cantonese people speak right?

She went like, "zhen hai faaan suuu ah lei..." (really sweet potato ar youuu)

and for the whole day she kept saying my cousin Chun (dumb). hahahahahaha but she's just making fun. coz my cousin is like many other kids, whatever u ask her to do she wont; whatever u ask her not to do she will freaking do it.

the last straw came went her mom was mopping the floor and asked her to stay put. so needless to say she intentionally goes and walk back and forth somemore. Anyone see liao also du lan. ending up got scolding from evryone... finally popo said something that landed me in stitches.

"Lei zi mh zi ju hai dim sei ga?!"
(do you know how pigs die?)

waaaaa biiiang i ji tao burst out laughing man!!!

Sunday 2pm

today's my second day bao-ing. but only got to wrap five only. BUT this time much much much nice than yesterday! the shape is much nicer and i got to put slightly more liao inside too! hehehe... here's popo in action!

First, she selects the leaves...


then she stuffs in the liao...


and fills it up ith rice


This is how much she wraps in one morning


then she boils them in this big pot


after a few hours, she take sone out for me to try =D


the ones i wrap only 2/3 of this size...

hehe so fun!

and while i wrap my ba zhang, she'll sit beside and tell me alot of stories! like yesterday, a childhood friend of HERS CALLED! Den while she chatted, i listened and smiled along as she laughed. After that, she told me about her kampong days while she was a KID! imagine leh, a Popo 70+ liao still able to tell me stuff about her childhood.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaa...

then she suddenly recalled - the person who called her was the one who taught her how to wrap ba zhang!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa...

my goodness, this tradition really went back a long long long way. and i'm so blessed and honoured to be under my popo's wing learning the ropes (or shud i say rafia strings)!

Crabbs

BOught on 4th May 2007 by Candy and Shenwei =)

This is the tank Superman bought and landscaped for me but what u see now has been revamped for the crabbys..















CAn u spot the 2 of them?

See the fishes in the front? yup, there're 3 of them. these are the little suckers that ATE ALL MY TADPOLES!!! =(

I caught the tadpoles from the Zooooo... 15 of them leh, all kenna eaten. Now it's their turn to be eaten. Muuuaahahahahahaaaaa.

"Bye bye, i don't wish to see you soon"

one night in yishun

hehe last night was the eve of labour day and i spent with my family.. Mmh, it's been quite a while since we did something like that.

we da bao indian muslim food to lower seletar reservoir, brought out our own picnic table and ground sheet... Lookie lookie:

This is one of my bro's million dollar smiles... nearly never got him to smile for the cam before, donnoe why this time auto smile until lydat!!!

See his pose now? wanna box me already... coz i keep snapping photos of them 360 degrees around them with the flash on! hahahahaha

Can u see what we've having for dinner? there's tahu goreng, chicken murtabak, 1 spring chicken, mutton satay, teh halia =P

Hmm there're also alot photos i wanna showcase... but only got time to load one more photo.

I exposed the shutter for 15secs and saw my cam screen many stars that we couldn't see with our naked eyes... then just when i loaded the pics into my com, i saw at the bottom right of the photo:




Is it a plane or a shooting star!?

I'm soooo excited!





Then 2 plus hours later, we went to orchid country club, use the toilet, watched pple play golf - the norm la...

OKay.. to be CONTINUED.. (now blogging at popo house- bu fang bian marrrr)



hey i'm back home!



okay what next ar? Oh my dad drove us into khatib bongsu! Never heard of it right?! Heheheh but i did lar... it's one of those sacred nature- nature places la - and what does Singapore do to remaining places as such? they "preserve it" i.e. close it to public so as to collect money.... Hahhahaha no la, for this case, they're closing it down because the army wants to use it for their training grounds - _ - okay la no better lor.



Anwz, i videoed the whole process of my dad driving into the place. the road was all gravel and dirt and lined along the path was all bushes, tall grasses and trees. did i mention about the street lamps? ya. there wasn't any. hahaha. pitch-blackness. too bad i can't show the 14 minute video here for the 1.9km drive in coz it such an adventure lor!



and we had a bad scare too... i spotted a reflection of a creature's eyes but when we drove up to it, the eyes disappeared. SUDDENLY, something flew up from under the car and across the windscreen....



FREAKIN GROUND OWL!



yup:) when we reached the end, there was a humble fishing pond. there were 2 persons fishing there. there're also a few families living there i think... it's really a rural surrounding and whoever lives probably relies only on backup generators for their electiricty supplies.



but it wont matter soon, coz they're being forced to vacate :( THE ARMY LA! All their fault sia :'(



...even tho i stepped on gao sai there last night, i still think that's a beautiful place lor...

I invited Moody over for tea and had a cup of Sadness

That translates to "I feel a little moody and sad" la.

It's not the stupid and cliche monday blues hor... this brand new day of school was awesome okay...

first of all, who wouldn't want to wake up to Mr Sheh's Lecture?! OMG, what can be healthier than Shehlogy for breakfast every monday morning?!

Holy messages for today includes:

I welcome you to argue with me, to challenge and defy me. This is what i call
participation. If i everything i said i expect you to follow, then this is not a
lecture theatre. this would be a temple.

If I step in to the LT and say,
"There are two options for you: i am right and i am right," then what is left
for you? if i did that, i would not be teaching, i would be preaching.

And punchline of the lecture:

When you see the forums (in the ICA) your 7 holes will bleed.

*please take note he's refering to the holes on our heads*

okay thats about it for Mr Sheh...


Now what happened to me after this lecture i don't know. I felt the worst after school ended:(

I just had a deep urge to see SPM so he would make it all better but i didn't make it in time to meet him...

It feels like it the little things that make me tick... hmm... and it's when things like this that i really appreciate having friends like Kailin and Shuping... Hai.

I keep using them as a mould or models for how real friends should be like... i can't help it...

then i went home alone. haiyo it just got bluer and bluer la.............. shan't elaborate about the rest le.

but things changed when i got home and mom presented me with a delicious looking packet of Mee Hoon Goreng and Mutton Steak fromWest Coast Drive!!!

WHO SAID DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND?? FOOD IS MYYYY BEST FRIEND!!

But i tell you hor food and make or break my day too. so must be careful. haha.

bye.

Flash Flood at Lakeside

goood morniiiing!

had a smashing good time with my family yesterday evening! We went to sentosa together leh! haven't done dat in Aaagesssss!

My family consists of Ee ma, Popo, Lai Ee and Uncle Tong, My mom and bro, Mei ee and Aleka!

And what disaster we witnessed before leaving popo's house! I stayed over at her place with Aleka, Lai ee and Uncle Tong... We had planned to leave at 2.30.

But then it started to drizzle...

The drizzle turned to heavy rain...

the heavy rain turned to downpour...

and downpour turned into a thunderstorm...




So we got trapped for about one hour!!!

This is the SMS I sent to Ee ma, Mei ee and my Mom:

Blk 517A has become an island because flooded very seriously.. we cant leave until further notice.

Ee ma replies:

Marina Sq. 2!! Can't swim out!

LOL!

Thankfully we still got to meet up at around 4.30pm a Vivo City... We brought along Popo's wheelchair too. Hahahahah it's newly bought and it's her second day bringing it out. With it we can take her with us almost any where we go - she won't need to be afraid of falling behind and we don't need to wait for her.

Anyways the wheelchair isn't exclusive to her lor... everyone took turns playing with it man! And i mean everyone, even my bro! Hahahahahah!

We had an early dinner at Food Republic. For most of them it was their first time there and they were so fascinated... Esp Popo la, kept commenting on the stalls and how real they looked... even my mom and aunts said "last time our houses really looked like that." Popo even spotted a cockroach scurrying about on the wooden doors nailed to the walls!

Then we scurried to buy the tickets and took the monotrail into Sentosa...

To my disappointment, they didn't want to watch the musical fountain! DAMNIT it's all becoz of the $6!!! But I already told them way from the start that now we had to pay to watch, guess they didn't believe lar! *&^%$#@...

But then it was romnatic to walk along siloso from one end to the other, pushing popo in her wheelchair and chatting or just listening to the adults chatter. We practically did nothing except walk forward and occasionally stopping by a Pavilion, a pub or a beach resort for a look:)

SO we walked and walked from Beach Station all the way to Underwater World. Used the toilet there, sat down and talked somemore while the younger ones played around with the wheelchair pushing each other down slopes and etc..

We finally ended our journey at the foot of merlion altho it has longed closed. After more sitting and chatting, we went back to Vivo and guess what.

They were gonna eat somemore!!!! Ahhhhhh... Yummy! we shared 2 pratas and 3 cold desserts as supper lor:)

By the time Ee ma and us got to 188 bus stand at the terminal, it was already around 10.30 (the rest went back by MRT) What a long ride home!

And what a long day out too:)



Kailin and shups! we can stop missing each other in about 4.5 hours coz we're goin swimming!

Yes shups! I'm honeymooning, kailin's dating and congrats to you, smiling everyday... Heheheheehehehehehehee...

Stawbery parkowayo

* now with video!

thats just superman's version of "strawberry park" pronounced with an indian accent lar.

Hai. Gems is giving me a headache leh... just before i left and straight after i came back it's been nawing at teh back of my neck! I got into Etiquette class but it's on a wednesady:( very very very sad leh. I'll appeal for a change!

Anw Cameron was fun:)

We arrived on monday morning around 6.30am at Brinchang (small town) on the way up Cameron we saw the full constellation of Scorpio... Did practically nothing except sleep thru the afternoon and enjoy the hotel room. Hehehahahah! Oh ya went swimming in the indoor pool - had the whole pool to ourselves:) For dinner, we took a really nervous and uneasy ride to town. why? because according to the F up hotel staff it costs RM20.. but when we got down the driver only collected the standard RM10!

LOL. Anw, we had steamboat for dinner! Awwww maaaann... the weather there is perfect for steamboat lor:)

Then on Tuesday morning we went for a Nature Discovery tour... Superman said the most enjoyable part of the whole trip came from this: the short hike thru the Mossy Forest (took amany nice photos of you leh! hahahaha) and Gunung Brinchang which was 6,666 feet above sea level - highest point of Cameron. My favourite was at the Tea Factory la.. beautiful landscape of the natural surroundings and also beautiful architecture of the visitor centre man:)

By the time this ended, it was time for lunch at the town... I had Wat Dan Hor and he had Yee Mee plus a cup of coffee which had a taste of cocoa which he didn't like but i liked. hehee

The best best best DAY of our trip i would pick Wednesday which was the last day... W is for wednesday is for "WOW!" man! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Firstly in the morning we didn't have to rush to catch the 9am country side tour coz we requested for one at 3pm instead:) 2ndly for the breakfast we got a balcony seat! mind you, there only TWO balcony seat in the restaurant and the balcony opens up to an amazing view of the mountains and valleys and birds and insects fly around you freely and there's fresh and cool breeze in your hair... HARHARHARHAR ---> victory laugh sia...

After enjoying our long breakfast we retreated back to the hotel to relax and Orr-orr again until it was almost time for our 3pm tour... when our driver finally arrived about 30mins late, boy, we were the only ones he was chaufering! SO, we got our own chauffer!!! Wahahaha! we called the shots regarding which attraction to go:D basically there was still a list to abide by but the driver was still very accomodating:) Oh ya, according to superman, our driver looked like a certain "celebrity" whose name is unsafe for me to mention... hahahaha:)

The best part of this tour was the strawberry farm... Strawberry milkshake: Mmmh mmh! If spm had the stomach i would have ordered fresh strawberries with yogurt and strawberry ice-cream waffle TOOOOOO! But he said, "If you can finish by yourself, you can order lor." BOOOOOO... :P The rest of the tour consisted of honey bee farm and butterfly farm too.. i still rmb the robotic greeting phrase of the honey bee farm owner... :D

Final stop was back in town again for dinner. This time we had Zi Char! WAaaaa really sumptuous spread for just 2 persons... the grreat thing about having Zi Char in M'sia is that it costs the same in S'pore, except it's in RINGGIT! Anw, we ordered Gong Bao Chicken Slice, Claypot Tofu (ALOT of Liao4 inside one!), Belacan Cabbage and Pickled Vegetables w Pork Soup.. and oh ya one pot of Ju Hua Cha... And all these costs... RM37! Less than s$18 for two persons wor!!! Shiiiok:)

The Handicraft Stop was finally open that day and by the time we were done shopping, it was slighly after 8pm liao... it took quite awhile to catch a taxi back man... OK OK here comes the best PART of this trip (apart from getting to spend it with superman la)....

On the way up, I noticed how clear the sky was! In malaysia, clear night skies equals to skies filled with stars! When we reached the hotel I asked the taxi driver to drive us str to our block instd of stopping at the lobby like the past few times... Waited for spm to hand the driver RM10 before stepping out of the taxi...

I looked straight up to admire the sky and a shooting star flew by! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! YES! I SAW A SHOOTING STAR! AHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Then I grabbed spm and started screaming, "WO KAN DAO LIU XING!" x2

LOL, then he said "shhhh.." looked around, "you saw it too?" hahahaha. i just if everynoe staying around our block understood chinese, they would be running out of their rooms by then.

So, afetr that, even tho it was the last night and we were supposed to pack up and sleep early, we dashed back in to put on more clothes (also becos spm need to use the loo) and went back out again. we sat on top of a ramp at the playground and watched the night sky in hope of seeing more shooting stars:) but naa miracles don happen twice in such a chort time frame:)

Instead we managed to spot Gemini, Virgo, Canis Major, and not forgetting Venus and old friend Orion:) Of coz there were a few other bright stars spm could name but i forgot what they were:P Did you know, the same patch of sky that we can see in S'pore might reveal 3 stars... but that night, there was easily 300 stars visbly to the naked eye in the same patch of sky:) And did i mention we witnessed the entire process of the moon rising by a cliff too:) Extremely memorable night it was:)




i saw a shooting star....

i saw a shooting star....

This is a video of our suite room:)

Last night I asked my mom on the sofa, "So on Sunday you going to have dinner with us where?"

Then she replied "huh? you want me to eat with you meh?"

And I said "HUH?! you're not going with me MEH??"

And she said "You want me to go with you, not scared shenwei laugh ar?"

Again, "HUH?! you're not going with me...??" with sad puppy eyes, "You don't want to send me off??"

She said, "Aiyoo, don't need lar... Not unless you're going away for half a year or something hahahaha..."



Hello World:) This is my dear Mom. I'm going to Cameron Highland for 4 nights and 4 days WITH Superman and she doesn't think it's necessary to send me off :( hahahaha..

I'm jusst surprised. First she readily allowed me and spm to go alone ... then she's not sending me off that night tooo... *pouts*

Anws, yups! i'm going to enjoy my vacation at Cameron with Suuuperman!!! Heheheheh:)

Kailin and shups, I've got new n nice swimsuit le! we can go swimming when i get back! plus go to the zoo before school reopens too:D

See u guys latar!

Terrible news...

HUH!?

Arrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......

This is exactly how i reacted when i saw the headlines online:

25-year-old Sentosa Musical Fountain stages last two shows

SINGAPORE : After 25 years of splashing entertainment, the Sentosa Musical Fountain staged its final two performances on Monday evening to a sell-out crowd.

SObz... ARGHHH~ It's tuesdaaaay... i just missssed it by one daaaaay ARGHHH~

And before this unexpected news came to light, I saw this morning's papers. Let me highlight the most important paragraph with the most essential piece of information:

The attracttion will run two 25-minut shows at 7.40pm and 8.40 every night. Tickets priced at $6 are avialable at the Beach Station ticketing
counter.

What!? Now we gotta pay!? Double "ARGHHH!!"

Wow... look what sentosa just made me do! I revamped and posted just for this sad piece of information!

Muaaahahahaha.

:'(

there are fundamentally 2 types of men husbands i have seen.

one: the kind that is a wonderful family man

two: the kind that seems as a wonderful family man


The wonderful family-man.

Is not that holy to begin with. He soon detaches himself from his mother and siblings, nieces and nephews after marriage and the even more after the arrival of his children. However, his "new" family gets his constant shower of love and affection. He is the sensitive, caring, loving, thoughtful man to his family. But only to his family. "Hey, put that away from my son.", "Don't her touch that.", "Keep the volume down, my kids are sleeping" and "Can i have this room? My kids wants air-con" are probably what u'll usually hear from him.


The seemingly wonderful family-man.

Is what we call a hypcritical gentlemen. Ladies at his workplace probably swoon about his charm and charisma, probably sees him as the dream partner and secretly envies his wife. back home his family knows his real side. real ugly side. no, he doesn't need to be the kind that raises his hand or his voice. he may be gentlemenly and intellectual enough to know better than dish out physical violence. truth be told, he may treat any stranger off the streets with more respect, sensitivity and humanity than he treats his spouse. If only his family enjoys half the politeness of that at home. Belittling words like "Shut up, i don't ever want to hear you speak again." and "I'm explaining to you why i don't like to pick up your calls and you go and say things like i hurt your feelings? fine, i won't (explain myself) anymore." are nothing new to his roost.


Of course there are 2 more types of bad husbands in this world that "doesn't" deserve mention.

The money squaddering type and;

The abusive type.

They all deserve to die. but wait, don't die yet unless you've bought life insurance.


There u have it. Candy Wong's dissectomny of marriage.


Hai. was so sadded just now. nearly went thru a bout of crying but no anger left in me. sat thru one round of quarelling this afternoon. both were annoying. both were wrong. both freaking likes to piss each other off. and they did it over lunch. how freaking thotful :) after a few minutes, my hands just went weak. i cudn't even pick a piece of fish meat up with my chopsticks. i cudn't muster up even courage to ask him to stop ranting and eat. just eat. hai. fought back tears to continue eating. fought back thoughts about dashing out of the restaurant. fought to keep the piece of fish in my spoon. after that just kept swallowing the food without chewing much. thats the most bitter lunch i ever had.

Dinner was just as bitter. only difference is i cooked it, so it was easier to swallow.

bye. i'll be away for 3 days.

wishing it to be more...

bored to tears

met up with weijian today for lunch.

was so bored that i walked and walked and walked and decided to walk to yew tee.. for lunch. damn new shoes... there's no cushioning at the heels or the front flap and halfway thru limbang park my skin began to tear.

i got a jolt from something that weijian said. he said "if i can't get into Uni, i donnoe what i'll do liao..."

i was abit shocked to hear that. like it was some kind of reality check for me... i donnoe what to think too.

walked in the rain twice today...

reached home and went for hot shower - an order from commando zhao.

was having a weird dream about a dream-vacation house just before i woke up from my nap... it got freakier n freakier, luckily my bro woke me up for dinner man. hahahahaha

than i logged in to black board for like the first time in 2 months.. got abit emo when i saw all the module names again.. hmm =/ (guilty face)

results will be out next week this day but i probably wont open it until the week before school reopens okay.. i donnoe when i'll wake up and start working hard. today i might be inspired to study hard but when school starts it's a whole new different story.

i think what really made me happy was my last photo assignment:) just saw that i got A+... hoooo... wad a relief. the mid night oil wasn't burnt for nothing that night before deadline.

and how bloody ironic. the assignment that i start 1 week before deadline i got a C. the 2 i did just the night before deadline i got A and A+...

anyway another day has passed. i can't describe how bored i feel. but i don feel like doing anything too.


the make of a lazy and unambitious person.

Gong Hei Fatt Choi

Thank U

Today i was feeling really really sad... So bad was the situation that I would stare into the notes and not know what was staring back at me. It felt like I stayed home and studied for too long, but it also felt like I didn't study enough.

Mixed feelings and therefore mixed up mind.

In short things just felt terrible.

I had delibrately left my phone off til afternoon because I knew messaging him would make myself unhappier. His replies these couple of days were getting slower and brisker. Though i'm aware that it's hectic really in his workshop, i just can't help feeling this way:( And not to mention through out the day we only messaged each other five times and that spanned from 12.30 to 8 in the evening... the longest I waited for a reply was 50mins. So I decided to switch the phone, else imagine the distraction.. i'd keep looking at th screen for a message-received symbol...

On thursday, my mum broke down infront of me. My heart really broke when I heard all the unhappiness she had been keeping inside herself. That session made me look at my dad in a different light, maybe even planted a bitter seed in my heart; made me think more carefully of what I say and how I speak to her in future; made me see how deeply a wife can be hurt by a husband... Things won't turn 180 degrees around at once but I'll be sure to keep this event at the back of my mind. In the evening I mentioned something in my msg to Spm that made him call me... and it was my turn to break down as I thot back on the things she said that afternoon. He talked to me while trying to fix a circuit board. But nevertheless succeeded in lightening the mood:)

Now I can't look at my Dad without thinking of that afternoon. When I do look at him without turning away, what I see I don't recognise... although mommy said things are alright already, the hurt is done. In case you havent heard, a woman's trait is: Forgive but NEVER forget. (it'd be silly to think if he committed the A word. coz my mom wouldn't even be staying around for a second should dat ever happen)

This afternoon, my laptop gave me all sorts of problems... apparently my thumbdrive is screwed, my laptop's "virtual memory" is running out and it can't detect the printer...

The only accomplishment today was that I've finally completely read thru my B.law lecture notes.

I was yearning badly for chocolates or anything sweet to munch on.

Then at around 7pm, i heard the ringtone of Tokyo drift going off in my room.. ahhh:) must be Kailin or SHuping calling la... however, it was a strange request. Strange in the way of what they wanted me to bring down for them. Unsuspectingly, I got what they wanted and rushed out.

It was like DE JAVU. (shups, rmb tuesday when we left FC4 and I saw somebody's receipt with MY NAME on it?)

This was the surprise they laid down for me at my corridor!!!











I was stopped in my tracks thinking, "Aiyo, why the neighbour's children play masak masak until over here and never keep... Ayyy... why they leave something here for me? so cute ar-"

Then it hit me.

Good job on that "ren wu" u made me do ar shups;)

Before the call, I was seated at the desktop in full view of the corridor, half drowning in self- generated dejection, munching on chocolate i bought one week ago. Waiting for the ecstasy of dark chocolate to kick in, waiting for the bloody printer to hurry up and complete the 5 page print job it had been struggling with for the past 10 mins.. *It's really intriguing how shups managed to Ninja her way to my door without me noticing her figure lumbering towards. Ahahahahahaha! just Joking gal. XP. Really laughed when she told me how she laid down the "door gifts"












Thankfully I can now keep that box of chocs away and enjoy something sweeter:)











ARE WE CONNECTED BY SIXTH SENSE COZ THESE ARE EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!!!!!!












SEEEEE.... It's from KAILIN AND SHUPS WITH LOVE











Okay, now a glimspe of what shups asked me to bring down for kailin... chiong all over my cupboards for this ok.


the title of this post is dedicated to U girls:) thanx for turning things around for me:) thanx for cheering me up even though u weren't aware of the intensity of sadness i was experiencing. and the best thing is, all it took was ONE simple sms to you two. Saying hey i miss you, and everyone, and how it sucks to not be attending school etc.... :') sooooo grateful to have u as friends. shups and kailin, the two of u really makes me feel loved every day of the week!

And apparent everything took a turn for the better after this. guess what my dinner was. ok la, don need to guess. I tell u. It was Chilli Crab - the best i tasted, claypot Tofu - best i tasted too, and sweet potatoes leaves - not the best. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. And This meal was cheeeeeeeeeap lor! $50 with change to spare =D Next time bring U gals here arh!

And Spm finally replied. His hands were covered with oil thats why took nearly 1 hour to reply. And tonight, he has to stay over in school to chiong the machines to be sent over to Indonesia. FOS-FYP. I called him immediately after i saw his msg and chatted for a short while. Now he's still there doing his work:( But at least they're having some fun there, i suppose? haha cause when i called, there seem to be background music, likely a party going on. LOL.

What a crazy day for me. And shake my hand please. I just screwed my self-imposed ban to use the internet.. could have been one week, had I made it past today.

*shrugs*

off to enjoy Grandeur Italian Original and ma Munchies:)

Competition is what forms the team. But it isn't necessarily what brings the team together.



I can see myself screaming in my head, "EVERYONE STOP FEELING SAD!"

I got a lot to say to you Cindy. Heheh.

First things first... Please don feel so negative about yourself. everyone keeps saying and agreeing that you (and anyone for that matter) have done all you can. but these words will never mean anything unless YOU believe it. I may not have the passion and drive as you YET. but what you done and have gone through is inspiring la.

The post wasn't aimed at anyone on our team... It was the outcome of what I heard coach said last friday - made me dio sort for while, thats why I was so critical in my previous post... sorry for the offensiveness.

And please don say that it doesn't matter already/ anymore. It still does! EVERYTHING STILL MATTERS. It stills matters even if we didn't win a medal, it still matters after you've graduated, it stills matters TEN years from now.


Shups and Kailin...



Alot has happened thru'out the 4 days that I didn't blog man.

All of a sudden, people are just rushing to be the first to leave the table tennis team :'(

WAOH. (you guys get the rough idea of wat my waoh means la, hor?)

Those that are graduating, are graduating... Those in Year 2, are eager to quit... Those in Year 1 are left hanging there unsure whether to stay or go with the crowd. Very sad hor? Shups... why become like dat... ... ... It's almost like, we didn't get a medal, lets all quit la!


I don't care if I take my own hand to slap my mouth le... I gotta admit this.

After playing with Huiling in our IVP finale doubles against NTU, I really felt I gained experience leh! HAHAHAHAHAHA! :P I mean, it felt good. I HAD FUN! Even tho we didn't win by 0-3 (don like to use "lose" la).

I just enjoyed the last game :) If only playing in tournaments feels like this all the time for every one of us.

Especially when I went to watch them play against NYP on thursday. HAHA! During the last round, we suan our opponents suan until so shiok lor! Wa seh... team spirit really fa hui chu lai at our bench! LOL. It was simply hilarious, to me, the way we cheered for huiling (aka porky).


Anyway... at the end of day, i really really hope that whether or not we are staying or leaving, it doesn't mean tat our friendship will end or be affected. i hope that the impact that we've made on each other's lives is big enough for us to hold on together with SPTT's name behind us all the way =D





I'M PROUD TO BE IN SPTT.

Got alot of things to blog about man!

Lets start with the serious stuff first, no crapping one ar..

("lets be serious. seriously, do you like me?" LOL)

This is one busy week. How come last week of school always lydat? First of all, there's tabel tennis tournament from tuesday to friday... but oh well, i've broken free from it for today and tomorrow.

Seriously (lol), what sort of mentality is this? Just because we're playing against a very formidable team like NUS and NTU, does that mean we should put the reserves in to play?

Supposedly, to allow reserves to play for a match is a very nice thing. Let them contribute abit. Too bad, SPTT's rationale for putting reserves in is WARPED. Their thinking is:

OK Since we're losing this match anyhow, why don't we
just let the reserves play, let them have a taste of whats it
like to be at the competiting table?

HAH! Farni.

PLeeeeaseee laaaaaar, save it. Alot of things I may not understand yet, but I do know what is the correct thinking, and what is the wrong thinking. Anyway, this is what I feel about it. And it sucks.

Yesterday the coach didn't even turn up for the match against NUS. WTF is this? But like I said, there's no such thing as "regret" for this kind of things. You can't say, "Aiyo, I think so-and-so could have beaten that player.. shudn't have put in a reserve" - once you've made a decision, you just have to live with whatever that follows consequence lor.

I have nothing against my team mates for these ok. This I must clarify. It's not their fault fo adopting this "strategy". But we gotta change our mentality. I'm just afraid. That any of my remaining liking for this sport might dwindle to naught.










ALROIGHT! Cheerful stuff now:)

Thanks for your nalgene bottle kailin!!!

Awwwww maaan! That surprise really really really made my day! So sweet of you to get us our lucky colours as prescribed by master khor:) And the suspense was great. Haha!

I not bad hor? Anyhow whack also know mine and shup's are the same thing, only in different colours and without knowing what it was, I guessed mine was blue liao! Lol.. hey i'm also quite smart leh... Don keep praising that one person only can?

Yea:) So Kailin only let us open our packages at Dover Station.... WKaoz, i never enjoyed unwrapping a present to that extent lor. Thanks for taking the effort and spending the time to wrap and roll the bottle with layeeeerrrs and layeeeerrrs of newspaper and fat scotch tapes!

Then while making a din all the way down the escalator and coming to the bus stop's rubbish bin... a looong hand reached out to Kailin... WA! PANTY ORANG UTAN ON THE LOOSE!

AAAaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!! *Nice to finally meet U :)*

That's not end of our laughter for the day...

During lunch period, shups and I saw Kailin and she sat with us at our table. Then we went to the toilet together...

Kailin stepped in, took one look at herself in the mirror, screamed and waved her arms and ran away! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

She said a fly was buzzing infront of her eyes, BUT from my point of view, it looked like she was horrfied of her own reflection and CHUA DIO because of that!

We burst out laughing in the toilet with other girls around. Kailin went out to laugh because she was too paiseh, then shups and I saw a girl at the basin um-chioing la.... damn farni coz we kept replaying the scene for kailin (and other pple) to laugh.


Step 1: Walk to the mirror
Step 2: Take a look
Step 3: Scream and flap your bye bye arms
Step 4: Run outside to laugh yor head off

Kailin's not the only one who has this priviledge lor ;) Heheheee....


and kailin, remember what we said today ar... no more salt OK???


Hmm, nowadays I've lesser and lesser motivation to study :P Still remember when I was newly admitted in Year 1, I was very excited about going to school EVERYDAY man! To the point I would SPRING up from bed when the alarm sounded. @_@

Firstly, because there were modules like EC, CD, CRS etc. Secondly, I just found my clique and some classmates very fun la. yea... so it's just a little saddening that things are in this state now...

BUT

At least I still have my FC destroyers la ...ROIGHT??





Oh YA! Today I heard the love story of Siow Chee Wee... He's the second lecturer who married his first love leh.

*Everybody say* AAAWWWWWWWW...

The first lecturer who married HER first love was Mrs CSC Loh, our PTN from last year (actually ar, up til now I still donnoe wad PTN stands for lor.. someone pls clarify for me? haha!).

K, so about Mr Siow, the one who di siao me on my computer terminal...

Yup, he knew his wife at 16 years of age, but didn't paktor until he was in NS... blah blah blah... I'm leaving out the details because I wanna bring the focus to what he said about his wife:

She is the best person that EVER happened to me in my life, there
was no one as kind as, no one as patient as and as caring as her... Ya, she really is just the best person that happened to me la.

WAY TO GO MR SIOW! I applaude your courage to say this to us (me and shups)! I think it takes balls to first admit it, and then to actually say it to your students is even more *Wow* =)

And here's my response to shup's "wad is love" post. Love is reading that bulletin on friendster and thinking of that certain guy lor. HA HA HA HA!

*AHEM!*

Okay! Now gotta go practise QM again le. If you believe me. HAhahaha!

Panty Kiapper signing off

Thanks:)

First and foremost, I wanna thank Kailin and winnie for staying up until about 3am to help this kuku friend of theirs with the Freaking QM software...

Thanks very very very very very very very much!

I'm guessing winnie stayed up much later coz when i opened my inbox this morning she had sent me another file...

But sad to say, nothing worked despite their ku xin... Kailin, also xin ku ni le... pms-ing still stay up to help me... Sorry and thanks arh... hope u get over pms-ing real soon k?

In the end, it was the Man from Krypton who saved the day. Ahahahaha! My Superman la... He just sent my a file I was missing, told me where to paste it and Voila! QM was running already...

I told Mom about it.

She said with a chuckle, "how come my daughter so stupid?"

BecauseI told her he helped me solve the problem in less than 30 mins (when us girls struggled to achieve nothing in the end for more than 3 hours)

I rebutted, "Eeeehhh... That (computers) is Nan Ren de Tian Xia Lor..."

So Yeah, thats the end of my ordeal for this weekend la :)

Haven't updated for a week le...

Would like to say I'm very touched to have friends like Kailin and Shups.

On Friday, once i sent out an sms to them about how effective my lucky colours were that day, they immediately called up and ask about me le.. but i guess they also didn't know how to response to that sms, so they called.. Hehehe. MTV partner ;)

But the best thing I rmb about friday was the time spent at FC5! We kept laughing and laughing and laughing.

It felt like the equivalent to me of having done 50 sit ups in 1 minute after every round of laughter. Hehehehehehehe.

I forgot what we did to make Kailin laugh so hard la. Roughly was about dance moves and dance "accidents"...

The thing is, we kept talking about the same topic and Kailin kept laughing long and hard, in the end I also ended up laughing long and hard at the sound of her laugh (until i nearly wet my pants man)

Table banging, feet stamping, arms flapping all the way til we're nearly infamous in FC5 le...

note to self: 3 FCs down, 3 more to go.

And ya, i told and showed many of my table tennis friends about the video le. Especially the girls team =D Wahahah! Shups, u don wanna be famous also diff liao ~

Not a dull moment, never a sad feeling - U girls can do a 180 on an awfully unbearable day and make me H-A-P-P-Y!

My Fo Jing

This is my Fo Jing, told to me by a Buddha-of-a-friend. (that night got yellow holy light shining out of my handphone)

Here goes:

Everyone is made out to be weak in something and strong in another.

You can't strong at everything and you also won't be weak in everything.

Focus on what you are strong at. This will give you more confidence and allow you to play better.

There is a difference between saying:

"Winning and losing doesn't matter to me - i don't care if i win or lose" which is negative and;

"Winning and losing doesn't matter - so long as I have done my best, therefore the statement" which is positive.

If you keep telling yourself, "winning doesn't mean anything to me", then when you lose u will still feel the guilt because you know you haven't put in any effort to make the best out of the game.

And if you lose because of this, you will always use this excuse that, 'Oh, it's because i don't like competition what, so lose also never mind lor...'

If you tell yourself to focus on what you are strong at and make the best out of it, then even when you lose, you can proudly tell yourself that you have "given my best and I have no regrets at all" (William Hung, 2004)




Bottomline is: if the coach puts you in a game, you just play it and play it well. If you play it well, other people can see. (And that makes "losing" a little easier to swallow. Hahaha)



I want to buy flourescent paint and paint these words onto my ceiling.. so when i turn out the lights, these words will shine down on me and enlighten me all over again everynight. =)

Thanks Kailin and shuping for the long long talk. 0307. This is the time when we hung up. 0307. This is the duration of our conversation. This may be a coincidence. Haha. But our friendship is definitely not a coincidence~!

OKay now for what happened today! Waaaaaa.... I was a road victim for the first day of school!!! It all happaned in the morning... I received a call from a friend.

"Hey! My dad can fetch us to school leh! U want a ride?"

Ok... so i accepted the kind offer and went downstairs to meet this friend. As I rushed into the car, i didn't realise something. MY FRIEND WAS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT!!! SHEEEEEEEYTTTE!!! And becoz the father was also in the car, I didn't dare to get off liao...

Okay alot of farni things happened on the way out of carpark and on the way to school la. TOok FIVE minutes to get out of my F - shaped carpark! I'm amazed I didn't throw up on the way out...

once we reached the bus stop at dover, this friend asked me, "So, what do you think of my driving?"

I JI TOU BURST OUT LAUGHING LARRR!

Maaan.. i woke up bright and early for school.. i didn't want to be late for first day leh... wanted a clean record this final few weeks... ok ok, at least for this week la... then thanks to this friend! washed down the drain liao! Hey, I really appreciate you giving me a ride la. BUT NOT ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND IN THE MORNING PEAK HOUR AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING MAN! AHAHAHAHAHAHA =D Please tell me in advance next time (so i can reject your offer). Thanks for sending me to school safely today.

I have never been soooo happy to reach school before.

WAHAHAHA!

first post of 2007

Wow I nearly forgot my sign-in name for blogger... 8 days didn't visit my blog lykdat liao...

Had a chat with tiffo aka horny last night. Hahaha found out how fantastic italy's postal service can get. I sent her a card on the 22 or 23 dec la... definitely CMI before christmas but i thought at least can make it before 2007. key word: i thought. HAhahaha! okays... there's a high chance it won't reach her address in italy until after she returns there from her one week visit to S'pore.

since christmas... hmmm... i forgot wad i have done already... most outstanding memory of last week was the camping out with superman at sembawang park on friday night. Kinda rushed back from Malaysia so as to camp out with him. Didn't have time to prepare for anything to do there except I brought my laptop out and we watched The Host in the tent. LOL! It's so lame la, thinking back... coz camping is supposed to be more in touch with nature, but in the end technology tagged along to keep us entertaining for a couple of hours.

We were paranoid of the mosquitoes by then - armed with a brand new can of insect repellant spray, mozzie coils and 2 bottles of ointment! It sorta effectively kept the mozzies away for miles. the tent was even positioned in a way that it caught the wind in the backdoor and the mozzie coil was placed upwind so that the "smoke" would drift and flush the tent with it Anti-mozzie smell.

The night passed a little too quickly although we fell asleep at 4am and woke around 9am... hmm, next time no more laptops!

Then there was countdown with superman. Sorta last minute "countdown" la.. Haha was supposed to go to Popo house for family gathering but seemed that everybody had their own plans and nobody was free to turn up that night. So met with Spm at around 5pm. HEhehe. Where did we go? Not vivo, not esplanade, not mount faber but Fort Canning Park! Coz I had the impression that my dad told me before that fireworks could be seen there... that evening we became tourist of our country man! Really had no idea how to get the Fort Canning we alighted at Dhoby Gaut Station and slowly (really slowly) found our way to the place... Visited the History Museum too! Hahahaha... like real tourists lor =D Main point is we really got to see fireworks from Fort Canning Park leh!

Next fondest memory was the team dinner on Monday (New Year's Day) at Joo Chiat No.11 #01-03 Chilli Padi Nonya Restaurant =) I still roughly rmb what we ordered... 3 glasses of water chestnut, tied with 3 glasses of lime juice, 1 bottle of honey lemon (cursed), 1 can of coke (outstanding) the rest can't rmb liao... For food there was Ayam Sio (not leng), Mutton Rendang, Sweet potato leaves, Curry Fish Head, Sambal Sotong, Nonya Chap Chye, Seafood fried rice, Duno wad fried rice (black black one), Fu Yong Egg (if i got the name right)... dats about it.

As you can see, with the TT team, live is more enjoyable... Big fish Big meat (da yu da rou)... After that went to Marine Parade for about an hour pool... I enjoyed it very much. I mean I enjoyed the movie they were showing - Alien VS Predator. AHAHAHAHAHA!

Now just waiting for the impending doom to befall on me... got so much i need to do for school... but i still keep them at the back of my mind.

What do they mean by resolutions and mugging? not in my dictionary wan leh...
