back to update!

[#o2] grace and cheryl brought me to church!

i went for a concert organised by grace's chuch, lighthouse evangelism if i am not wrong. i understand a lot more about christanity thanks to grace and cheryl (: i asked loads of questions, and stuff about god. grace and cheryl patiently explained everything they knew to me. i did think about it. but in the end i decided not to join christanity.

because i have a strong faith in buddha and guanyin. maybe due to the fact that my family members are devoted buddhists and granny told me stories about buddha. plus i believe the hong kong serial dramas i watch -- things like journey to the west you know.

well. there are people who converted from buddhists to christians. thats because there's affinity between them and god. janice is one i know. i believe her story and i think that she's destined to be a christian. and i am meant to be a buddhist (:

but i dont believe non-christians go to hell! if it's true, then what are buddha, guanyin and all the other religions' lords doing?!

[#o3] Genting!

my uncle brought my brother and me to genting with his family!

my cousins and us spent most of our times in the arcade. gosh, we must have spent like S$300 in there! on the very last day, we combined all our tickets and exchanged for prizes. all of us brought back something (:

the outdoor theme park was okay, still havent got to try the spaceshot (?) ride yet.

xiaohui, teaziyong and me went for the pontianak adventure! we waited for other people to join us before we went up. gosh it was super funny! all of us didnt want to go in first. there was this woman who kept holding on to ziyong instead of her boyfriend because he kept scaring her! in the end ziyong, who was the youngest among us all, walked in front. the guy behind me put his hands on my shoulders, trying to scare me. then after that he acted to be scared and went, "jie jie, wo pa!". LOL. it wasnt really scary la, maybe because we went in a large group. plus there was only one human trying to scare us. ohwell. i had fun!

i ate hell lot during the trip, especially the last day! we went to this place with buffet of all kinds of food. chinese, indian, western, japanese, malaysian, desserts, blablabla. you could even ask them to prepare on the spot! HEAVENLY i would say. i ate sushi, hai nan ji fan, chicken chop, satay and 4 scoops of ice cream! bloated like crazy. i loved the food <3

[#o4] SNCO!

i was in team 3 with shunjie and qingyi! my other team mates were kaixin and shalini from green view, xinyi from chung cheng and shaun from tampines. our team got along quite well and we sort of agreed that we were in the norming stage (: oh, and kaixin lives in the condo beside michelle, which is very near my house. we had our dance practice in her condo dance room.

my team advisors were sir weixiang and mam kristin. both are nice and easy to talk to (= they were much better compared to LALALA&LALALA. i could treat them as friends and voice out my thoughts during the interviews, thus got justified for something (: thanku advisors!

oh, and the mam grace we all love was our regimental sergeant major! i would say she did a great job in maintaining our discipline. she was firm and strict with us, and of course our squad could see the kind intentions she had (: seriously, mam grace rawks totally!

to me, the entire course was a wonderful learning journey. serious, i learnt and absorbed loads. from technical stuff like triage to others like leadership qualities. and i took another step forward. at first when i knew that shunjie and qingyi were in my group, i thought i wouldnt be talking much for the camp again since they will be the ones doing all the talking. but i still managed to overcome it and open up. it was quite a challenge for me!

yup. thats why when my advisors told me if i had anything to ask about the marks, i told them the marks didnt matter to me. because i feel that i benefited from the course and i did put in enough effort on my part. thus i have no regrets (:

but its saddening to hear that my marks were pulled down because of my facial expression. DOTS. i was born with this face, what can i do? cannot smile during the course also right? RAH. oh, this is something unfair to me which i forgot to raise to my advisors.

but overall, i am glad to have went for the course (= thanks to all camp personnel for putting in the time and effort to plan the course for us!

[#o5] JNCO cum STD 1 CAMP!

for the five of us -- cheryl, elvina, huifen, samuel and me, std 1 camp was the main thing since we were the ones in charge. we really racked our brains for ideas and proposals. and we had to rush some stuff out for the camp before we went for snco and during the one day break we had between snco and jnc0. we were quite separated from the other std 3s during the camp as well.

but i am sure all five of us enjoyed planning and executing the camp for the std 1s! i feel that although it was shocking that we had to do literally EVERYTHING (even team advisors which were supposedly std 4s), it was a fantastic experience, especially to see the std 1s enjoying the games (= most importantly, i feel that the five of us bonded closer!

yup. during the nights and after std 1s break camp, we got together with the jnco side again (:

planning, laughing, crapping, gossiping, cheering, chit-chatting, worrying, discussing, eating milo powder, suaning weisong N yahui, looking like pandas, fighting to serve food, seeing each other with attitude problems due to the lack of sleep, knocking sense into each other, loving each other all over again in a min, getting serious when casualties are brought into medic office, trying hard to stay awake during the big meeting, coming up with wash hand drill and alot alot alot more. ALL AS A SQUAD.

although i had rows of bruises from snco and a bloated hand in the middle of medic duty, i LOVED the camp.

because those will be the fondest memories together with my squad. we did everything together and saw the different sides of each other, and we accept all the different sides because those are our squadmates. the squadmates we understand so well and love so deeply, just like our family (:

yes, it must be the millionth time i said this. but this is the fact that will never change.

i LOVE my squad <3

i put the previous post in purple because it was typed two months ago, from now on the posts will be black. i shall update on my holiday!

[#o1] i changed my phone!



i bought the blue one! isnt it a beauty? i shall relate my phone-buying story.

i first saw that model (pink) at a m1 outlet in tampines mall and i was like, "WOW..." it was on a circular stand turning around, shimmering and reflecting any ray of light that hit the luminous surface. i thought since it looked good, it wouldnt have good functions so the thought of owning it didnt strike me until grace told me about it. i looked up on the phone and realised it had really good functions as well! 3G, bluetooth, mp3 ringtones, 2 megapixel camera, and everything i could wish for. i didn't mind it not being a walkman phone since i already have my mp3 player.

BUT mommie die-die wont buy it for me. so i had to start saving money for it. ya thats right. i dont save money until theres something i wanna buy. anyways, after i gotten the money ready, mommie was still reluctant to sign the 2-year plan. i used both hard and soft approaches until she agreed :D

oh, i chose the blue one because i thought the pink looked evil and black doesnt really show its beauty. but my family prefers the pink and my friends prefer the black. *shrugs* and i found out a lot of people bought it too. sir wenbin, yixi and simphoni, but all of them bought the black one. i have seen pink ones on the streets too but not blue ones yet. so mine is still unique, it was a right choice (:

oh my, its already 0212 hrs!! i shall update somemore after orientation prep.

HOHOHO i am back!! hope you all enjoyed christmas (:

i typed this post sometime after exams but didn't publish it. anyways, here it is.

VOILA!

long time no see. plenty of happenings. flooded thoughts and emotions. and i dont know where to start.

i shall try to do it in sequence.

remember jiu3 dian4 feng1 yun2? it ended sometime in the middle of exams. i think i was the only one who watched tv for hours without fail during exam period. but i don't regret it! it's seriously a fantastic serial!

despite how the three brothers had harmed him (they didnt know martin was helping them), martin still helped them in the end! i really admire him. they made him lose his father, injured him, and even made use of his loved one to betray him. he forgived them again and again, until wang qi jie made use of bi qi to betray him. he lost his cool and vowed to take revenge. he appeared to cooperate with zheng yong fa (the bad guy) to harm the three brothers. but in the end he was actually helping the three brothers AGAIN.

how many of us are able to do that? to forgive people who had hurt you over and over again. to forget how you have suffered and treat them well sincerely from the bottom of your heart. for many people, it is easy to pretend nothing happened, but it's almost impossible to forget. as for me, both are not within my abilities. because i am petty and selfish. i will not hide my anger and let you have a peace of mind. a lot of nice people are willing to do so in order to salvage a friendship. but i can't. unless if i like you extremely.

back to the show.

i was gan3 dong4 when martin pretended to be a bad guy to unite the brothers. i cried when the three brothers injured him (there was a crack sound as his hand was bent!!). i shouted at the tv, scolding qi jie when he made use of bi qi to hurt martin. i jumped in anger when ke er smiled sweetly, with her vicious heart well hidden. i whined to my mother whenever kai xin got maligned by ke er. i grinned from ear to ear when qi jie got concerned about kai xin. i grumbled about qi jie's stupidity everytime he trusted ke er instead of kai xin. i shut the tv off when qi jie went to bed with ke er (super horrible scene! i seriously wanted to punch qi jie). i turned on the tv when it was martin's scene. i felt xing4 fu2 when martin and bi qi xiang1 qin1 xiang1 ai4. i giggled crazily when xiaoqin (bi qi's son) was kawaii. i felt bu4 fu2 qi4 for kai xin when she forgived qi jie in the end, but decided it's okay, since qi jie was shuai4. i went, "see how you have cuo4 guai4 martin!" when the three brothers finally realised martin was a good guy. i felt depressed when martin said he will take revenge upon the three brothers for causing him misery. i prayed in hope that he was only putting on an act when martin told the bad guy he will cooperate with him. i clapped and cheered with joy when it turned out that i am right. i am proud of myself for having trusted martin till the end (x

understand why i said it's fantastic now? the whole plot is so realistic that it allows the audience to gan3 tong2 shen1 shou4. seriously speaking, the show affects my mood drastically.

now lets talk about e-e--ex--exa---exams.

they came crashing like a tornado, it was too sudden and fast. last year we had it one month later loh! fine, it is my fault for preparing late.

language arts. i slept through three-quarters of the lessons. i read bang bang. i flipped through half of frankenstein. i didn't touch macbeth. even if you are a 3-year-old kid, i guess you can already predict the disastrous grade i will be getting.

higher chinese. if i am not wrong, nobody studied for it. there wasnt enough time for me to do the paper 2 ): there were around 4 comprehensions i think. all open ended questions and still had chang2 wen2 suo1 duan3! i didnt finish the paper so i shall just kiss my A goodbye.

mathematics. i had a poor foundation last year and couldnt be bothered to catch up. thus i just neglected it this entire year. i studied for paper 1 but not paper 2. plus plenty of carelessness. so i am prepared to fail (x

chemistry. i place all my hopes on this because this is the only subject i pay attention to during class. plus ms ng is a good teacher :D

physics. i didnt study properly before the exam and its a subject the entire 3b is weak at. plus sadistic mr hong set a killer paper. conclusion? dead.

biology. i studied 3 days beforehand, which i thought to be worthy of praise. but I realized majority of the rest studied at least a month beforehand. poo. I guess I should be able to pass.

history. i didnt put in a lot of effort because mr chiang gave a lot of hints already. I thought the paper was okay but I wrote too slowly T.T could have written a lot more ):

thats all for now.
