I know you'll are there :)

Hello!! I am damn high now! Waiting for facebook to upload the photos. Anw, These two days are really really great :) Shall elaborate:

Saturday
Met up with Tiff, dianna, Lu and melvin in the morning at tiffany house, supposingly for a gathering before i fly off. Met up at about 10.30am, then we headed to east coast park to cycle. Gosh! The sun was so damn strong! All of us were really like lobsters!! My face/arms/legs were all RED!! For the first time, they beleive my face is red because of the sun :) Cycled all the way to the end of east coast, taking alot of photos along the way. Very nice shots. Then we went back to tiff's house, played wii, piano, slacked till about 7plus when shaun came. Then they gave me a surprise!! They asked me to look outside the window, then they took out Lu's violin and some other stuff la.. then they ask me to sit down, then they played on the piano with violin accompaniment. My favourite 2 stefanie sun song. wo huai nian de and tian hei hei. HAHAHA!! Was really touched by what they did :) Then, headed to kembangan for some food, then wanted to go out somemore, but then my parents were on the way to fetch me already. So no choice. Then went to Jurong point NTUC to get stuff for today's party :)

Sunday
Today, was great :) Had a gathering for like relatives and stuff, and also to celebrate my birthday in advance. So, invited some of my friends along. Debbie, Bella, Char and Barbara, Leya, Eleri and all HAHA! Really had fun :) So anw, met up with Bella in the morning to go get my present :) I got a rabbit!! From build a bear! So cute! Anw, it was named by Bella!! Not me ah! We took like 20mins to decide what to name it. HAHAHA! Then headed down to e condo function room. Then friends and relatives started coming in about 6plus, then played and took alot alot of photos with the help of Micain using the DSLR!! :) Yay! Nice pictures!! Shall upload them soon. Thanks guys for all the present and cards.

I was reading through the few cards, messages written on photos, etc, and i was looking through the video of the "concert" by tiff, lu, dianna again, I suddenly felt really touched by all the effort my friends have put in for me. They are the very reason why i can't bear to leave Singapore. All these while i kept thinking that i dont want to leave, although its only for 3 months, I'll still miss so many ppl. But then, after i saw what they did for me, i feel very comforted and motivated. because i know, that no matter how lonely i am over there, i will still have all my friends for me when i return. My family and friends concern and effort are my motivation for me to go there, have a really good learning experience, and come back. I know i will never really be lonely, with all their love and care :) Love you all :)

Post exam moods

Hello!!
I'm back from exams!! Yep. Just to say that the past two weeks were really tiring.All the exams and memorising. But then at least i can say that i have put in my best. So whatever the results are, i wont have any regrets. But its just kind of disappointing that certain papers didnt turn out as well as i expected. But what has passed has passed :)
But anw, these two weeks were quite enjoyable too :) Spent some days in school studying with tiff, dianna, lu, mel and shermaine. I managed to focus for the first time outside of home :) Then taekwondo was kind of fun too. It was the only thing adding fun into the exam mood. Anw, guess what!! Yesterday was the last lesson for me until 3 months later after OSIP!! Gosh! then although i still had paper today, i still went for lesson. Didnt want to miss it. Took some photos, with the whole group who went for competition, and also with sir. So, till 3 months later, i wont be meeting them.
Talking about taekwondo, HAHAHAHA!! Something damn funny happened that day during tournament. We were talking about... food i think? Then there was this dis-agreement between me and someone. I cant name who, cos she will come after me. HAHAHA! Anw, i told her that lamb and sheep are the same animal. But she refused to beleive me. So, we even called some people to ask. But she still refused to beleive me. Then we went back to the holding area after break. Then she saw melvin sitting there, and she went to ask melvin if they are the same animal. And he told her "same. Sheep is the animal, lamb is the cooked meat" but she still didnt want to beleive. So we ended up laughing. Then, the conversation became more retarded, like "when we see cows next time, we'll call them as beef" then some other really stupid stuff. I think Melvin must be thinking he got 2 nine-year old as his group mate, instead of nineteen. HAHA!!
Anw, some stuff happened last week. But i'm thankful its solved :) But right now, some stuff are still rather confusing for me. Ok.. Whatever has passed has passed. Exams are over too!! Time to enjoy before OSIP. Tomorrow would be spent at Tiff house with the whole group. Sunday will be fun too :)

Ornie: Thanks for the birthay present. I received it when i was going to school this morning :)

- 9 more days to OSIP -

Exam Mood

Hello!! School has ended, and exams are now on the way. So i think i wont be blogging until exams are over. Anw, friday was the last day of school. Really mixed feelings. I am glad that sem 3.1 is over, after all the stress and rush from projects. But i am not not really looking forward to it, as i will be going for overseas internship soon. Suddenly, i have mixed feelings about going. Happy to get to experience something new, learn to be independent, blah blah blah.. but at the same time, sad to leave all the people who mean so much to me in Singapore. Its only 3 months, but then 3 months without all of them, is going to be tough. I begin to wonder if i had made the right choice sometimes. oh well... I am going to take this opportunity to learn as much as i can :)Back to the topic of school. I cant imagine one whole semester just passed by like that. It seems not long ago that we got our timetable, started school, formed new project groups, rushed through the first project, and now, sem 3.1 has ended. Sem 3.2 will start when we are back from internship. I really cant wait to faster go for my internship, so that i can come back soon :)
So anw, today was back to school to study with the whole group. Going back to school tomorrow too. Studying for exams are really tiring. But i am just hoping it all pays off. 28th august!! Oh yeah! i went swimming today after studying. I think its really enjoyable, to have a good swim after studying. Its really refreshing.
Ok!! Off to pack my bag for tomorrow. shall decide what to study tomorrow. Anw, Sem 3.1 has really been a fulfilling semester for me. I am awaiting for Sem 3.2 to come before graduation :)

Everytime i make up my mind, looking at you makes giving up really so much harder. I promised not to let you affect me anymore. But it seems like up till now, I still cant.

P.S: Ornie!! I saw your comment. I dont know why people cant leave comments. My friends told me about it too. But i dont know why. HAHA!! Anw, no prob. I'll let you know when everything is confirmed and settled :) I'll send you an email after my exams. you can send me an email when you're free :)

Second Thoughts

Its nearly 2.15am, just finished downloading all the pass year papers and stuff. Going to print it tomorrow before i officially start my revision. I have ALOT to revise. This is the last chance for me to pull up my GPA.Plus somemore i am going for OSIP, i cant afford to even fail one paper or get a supp paper.
I'm feeling super tired now. But i cant get to sleep. Too many thoughts are simply running through my head now. It all started just now, during taekwondo. We collected our new brown belt today. next belt that we would collect would be our BLACK belt :) Then sir told me that the next grading would be in october. Which means i wouldnt be able to take the next grading. I would be going for another round in January. Most probably bella would be waiting for me then we would go for the grading together. But then, suddenly, many thoughts came to my mind.
I am really looking forward for the OSIP. Its something that i have always wanted. Overseas experience, i can learn to be independent, the time i am away from home is not too long either. But then, on the other hand, there are any things that are making me miss home even before i leave. I started thinking, if i was not going for OSIP, i would be able to go for taekwondo grading, i would be able to spend time with my family and friends and my doggy, i would be very comfortable, everyday in my own house, own room, going to work in the morning, coming back at night. I will be very secure. But when i am overseas, i am faced with alot of unknowns and uncertainties. People are telling me alot of things, to be careful and stuff. This is making me more afraid of the unknown. I know i will adapt to the living environment soon. But then, i would still miss my family, friends, doggy and lastly the comfort of my room.
I cant remember who, but someone told me last time when i was still deciding whether to go for OSIP. The person told me that if you never step out of your comfort zone, you will never grow. I think it makes sense to me now. Through this experience, i finally figured out some really important stuff. i figured out who are the ones who really care for me. I also found out who are the ones that although i take for granted sometimes, actually mean the most to me. I beleive that i will grow more as an individual throughout the whole internship programme.
I will miss every single one. My family, my friends, Terry (my dog). For now, i think i should just stop thinking of it and focus on my exams now.

-Goodnight-

will i still think of you after 3 months?

Singing and Eating Fun :)

Handed up the HR project on monday :) Yay!! Last project down :) This is the first time, i had to go back to school on a saturday to do projects till the lab and printing shop closed. Thats not all... Saturday night was spent editing from 11pm till nearly 3am with changes and more changes. So, finally got everything printed and compiled and on sunday woke up earlier then usual, just to go to AMK to bind the project and passed it to Simon. So yep, after that, went out with parents shopping for web cam, mic, earphones and other stuff that i might need during the OSIP.
Monday was the day i had the most fun in a long while. Partly due to the fact that projects were all done, but also because of this steamoat/singing thing that we were planning for very long. But the projects were the cause for the delay. So finally!!
Finished school at about 10.30am, but i was held back because i had to go collect my letter of acceptance for OSIP. Then, picked Debbie up before heading home to get my jacket then off to pick Bella up. Headed to Katong for the korean food that Tiff brought us to the other time. Wanted to order something else, but ended up with the same steamboat thing again.
After lunch, went to SING!! HAHAHA!! We took quite some time to figure out their new system. Sang alot of nice songs :) And alot of really really funny things happened. But i am not going to say it here, cos i will get slaughtered :P Those who wants to know, ask me, I'll tell you :) At some point, we really laughed so hard, that we just couldnt sing or talk. Just laughed non stop. Pity Bella. Cos during luch, Debbie and me drank Coke!! So we were damn high at one point of time. HAHA!! We took ALOT of pictures too. Some really unglam ones. I wish i could post it here, but i am sure i will get slaughtered. Was supposed to sing from 2 to 5pm. But we extended till 7pm.
Off to my house after Singing. For dinner :) Steamboat again!! Two rounds of steamboat in one day. I didnt know my mom bought SO much food, that it lined nearly the whole kitchen cabinet counter top. And the best part, we finished nearly half or for some, all of the food!! We ate in the kitchen, instead of the dining/hall area because i wanted to prevent my house from smelling like smoke from the BBQ portion of the steamboat. But apparently, it didnt work. Although we ate in the kitchen, i could still smell it all the way upstairs from my room -.- But the smell went off today. YaY :)
We ate, talked, laugh about alot of random things. Oh.. And i drank some alcohol, and apparently, i cant take alcohol. I just took two really really small cup (which combined into an amount much lesser then a teacup) of some kind of alcohol with only 5% alcoholic content, and i cannot take it already. Went upstairs, i was a little groggy. HAHAHA!! Wanted to have second round of singing, but in the end we never.. So we ended up surfing the internet, trying to "ba gua" a bit, then also talked about some other stuff. I was awake ok! I knew what i was talking!! HAHAHA!!
They left at about 11plus, and after i uploaded the photos and sent to them, i fell asleep straight away. I shouldn't dring anything that has alcohol in future. Ok.. I'm damn lousy. So anw, woke up at nearly 2am to turn off the computer. Saw a few conversations, but i kinda pressed the wrong button, and the computer turned off before i could see who was talking to me. So, Sorry to those who talked to me yesterday night, but i didnt reply.
Woah! the post is super long!!! Some photos to end it off :)
