nostalgia..

since sunday, ive been trying to fight off this feeling of nostalgia. it must be my tuition kid's doing, every time i go for tuition, i always start to miss the sec sch days.

these days i havent been hanging around juss much, but those short times spent with him sometimes makes me rem the gd old times. not i dun treasure what i have now. it's just that it's a different kind of happiness.

and today lau niang was smsing me so nostalgia hit me again. :(

i really miss ...

wearing the green uniform. it was the best uniform i ever had (although some bums from that termite sch think we look like frogs)

chemistry and english lessons.

interclass games. even though at the end of it we are so smelly and sweaty and there was no way we could shower and had to head straight for lessons.

most importantly, the 4e1 classroom. as well as the toilet. yes, i actualy missed the toilet. it's where we would hang out during short breaks in between lessons. :D

how me, di and qi would meet outside qi's class for recess. (by then the 3 of us were already in different classes)

studying at the marine parade library. where i oso got to know more pple :D

tuition lessons and the starbucks or bubble tea sessions after that.

the foursome seoul garden outings.

taking long bus rides to the airport, woodlands or yishun.

staying in pgp. especially the time spent with ln :)

our frequent mac trips. (or should i say the time we had meals in school is usually at mac)

the fongseng and prata sessions. (which wasnt too many cos we were too lazy to take the shuttle bus after 7 pm)

the camping in library till 10 pm study sessions.

our sit-at-the-stage-lookalike-place-and-have-potato-chips sessions.

and our thai-styled chicken dinner meals.

okay, i think i should stop else my room will start flooding. heh

we cant travel back in time but we can make a difference to what happens in the future.

for now, although the road ahead seems tough, i just wanna do the best i can and hopefully everything turns out as well as i hoped it could. :)

wish me luck, people! =)

abt having an elder sis..


i was really sick of studying when my sis dragged me for a run with her and my cousin. (i use dragg cos yours truly was really feeling real lazy) i was pretty hesitant abt running with them cos they run much more frequently than me and definitely have much more stamina.

while i on the other hand havent ran in ages.(esp after i picked up swimming again)

so that's the thing abt having an elder sis. (okay, im not saying that cant happen if u have other types of siblings) but cos' i only have one sibling, im really thankful for her :)

altho i secretly wished i can have an elder brother at times. :P

so anyway cos i havent ran in ages, i found it hard to keep up with them towards the end. so i told them to go ahead and i will try to finish, at a lower pace of cos.

but no, cos it was getting real dark and all, my darling sis stopped and waited for me. even thou i know it was probably a wasted jogging trip for her. oooppss.

at the end of the run, i suddenly felt an urge to puke. didnt really understand why. mabbe i really havent ran in ages, the last run i suppose was with yu and tin when i was still staying in pgp. =/

luckily i felt much better after i got home and daddy rushed to pour a glass of iced water for me while sis gave me some orange peels. (i have no idea why she thinks that works thou. hehs)

i think i made so many pple busy just cos i went to run.

but the jog was gd, made me felt refreshed. but im determined to do better next time :D

back to the bookss.

the one abt the term break

u know the break had past faster than i can absorb. it seems like ydae when it was just monday and poooff. it's already sat today.

i'm really in a super unwilling-to-go-back school mood. havent done enuf work i guess. been spending lots of time on the OM test.

anyway, its one of those few saturdays im not out having fun or studying @ starbucks. feels really weird. and im super bored too while trying to cram some OM stuff yet again.

so more abt the break.

x lots of mahjong, last night and saturday.

x studying. no doubt, the starbucks @ marine parade lib has officially become my fave study spot. it's so conducive i dun mind studying there alone.

x had a dialogue session abt cirriculum intensity on tues. and i tell u i nvr had a nicer time voicing out my unhappiness abt the maths dept.

x met yu for a post bdae celebration on tues as well. had sakae @ parkway.

and there were having this promotion.



freaking cheap!

we had 2 plates each.

and the bill came up to 29++ bucks. somehow i used my uob card to pay and there was supposed to be a 10% disc. but when i left the place and checked again, the cashier had charged us onli 17++ bucks. oops.

x met diana on lunch near her work place on thurs. we had jap food again. this time i had some stir fried beef. the whole set comes with chawan mushi and salmon sashimi. for a total of 12.90 each. pretty gd bargain i guess.

so anyway, when i told her that ive been having a lot of salmon lately, she told me that she once got sth in the mail abt this guy who had been eating raw salmon quite frequently then one day, he found a lot of worms on his scalp. and when they cut open his head, there were a lot of worms squirming around.

kinda creepy sia.

then i tot to myself that i better refrain from salmon for the time being.

but i guess it would be before long when i start to eat it again. =/

x i also coloured my hair! and gave it a trim too! so it's kinda even shorter now.

x watched lotsa cable telly too. especially this pilot show.



i loved it man :D

x rewatched the superstar finals that i taped. haha. and i kept laffing when jy and xinhui were singing wu ding. i think her expression really cannot make it.

ohhh. and i like the guardian angel song that jy sang! :)

lalala.

its abrupt. but im goin to end here.

have a gd weekend, pple! :P


note: oh yah, and i realised that my comments only allow blogger pple to comment. (after i scrolled down a few posts and saw cheryl's reply) paiseh i nvr realised that. no wonder pple dun like to comment. so yeah, ive already changed it. hopefully i get more comments now! :p

a big shoutout to the other wan:

_ _ _ _ _

are 2nd hand books getting harder to sell?

a few weeks back, this person emailed me asking if i wanted to sell my microecons tb. so i replied him/her and we agreed on everything, the price and all. until we arranged to meet up, she stopped replying me.

wth. waste my time

then today, i was pretty surprised someone still wanted my book. he/she had smsed me.

and this person for one is really a difficult buyer.


that person: are you still selling your micro text? how much are u selling it for.

me: (in my mind, i was thinking issen the price written on the website?) selling it for 14. how mcuh u willing to pay?

that person: hmm. 10 bucks. actually still thinking if i want to buy the 6th edition instead. cos myfren told me there's a lot of difference between the 5th and the 6th. what do you think?

(mine was the 5th edition)

me: personally i havent seen the 6th ed. but i think the questions numbering may differ lor. and the lowest i would go is 12. so lemme know if u still want.

after a very long time,

that person: describe the condition of the book.

at this pt, im seriously pissed liaos. i mean if u wanan buy a 2nd hand book can u just accept the fact that it's definitely not as gd as a 1st hand one. definitely there will be highlightings. if there issen it just proves the usefulness of the book doesnt it?

but anyhow i replied.

me: its wrapped in plastic with highlighting.

that person: what? there's highlighting? i tot u said it was brand new.

wth. u can only find brandnew books in the co-op. dun be sucha dumbass.

me: huh? when did i ever say that?

that person: ok i must have rembered wrongly, aniwae since there's highlighting can sell at 10?

the devil in me was freakin pissed off. some pple just dun understnad english. but the angel in me wanted to settle this soon. i dun have that many smses to spare sia.

me: alright then. 10 bucks. but can only meet on monday and in science.

and then that freaking person din reply me liaos.

totally a waste of my time and sms.

and a few mins later, i got an sms again saying that her fren reccomended her to buy this book at 10 bucks from me.

and i din reply. in case she does the same trick to me again.

freaking hell. think i so hard up for ur 10 bucks ar.

before the night's over, just wanna say

happy lantern festival! :)

i had a great day even without lanterns or mooncakes.

firstly, i think lanterns no longer excite me as much as before. and this yr the chinese garden displays aren't exciting.

also, i dun have a fetish for mooncakes either. except mabbe for the salted egg yolks inside the mooncake. heh.

whoever said that you must have either of the above on this day?

to me, having my family and loved ones by my side is more than enuf.

ok, mabbe i would like the moon as well! it's so beautiful tonight. =D

so no monday blues cos mid term break starts tmrw and finally this time round, i get the whole week off.

but it's goin to be a real busy week ahead. i promised many people i would lunch with them. hopefully i really find the time too!


happy week ahead! :)

as time passes...

girls change while guys always remain the same?

i tried asking pple closer to me regarding my hair.

then generally,

gals would tell me its better to keep it short. (including my mummy)

and guys said gals with long hair look nicer.

*faints.

so two things i gathered,

one, either i really look better in long hair.

or two,
guys typically are still ah peks.

bleahs.

the later sounds more valid since the conclusion is guaranteed by the premises.

and

yay, i got up so early on a sat morning!

*hip hip hooray*

B A H H h h h .....

the ramblings of someone home on a fri night.

b o o.

din have a very gd sleep last night. that resulted in a headache and fever. and paranoid me tot it was goin to be dengue. (especially since i just got a couple of bites 2 weeks back at cf bbq)

so after lunch i headed back to sleep to rest my headache.

got up not feeling any better. but thank god, it's subsided now.

i'm a much healthier person liaos.

anyway. roger sent me this song that's playing just now. at first i tot it was the mei li de ben nu ren song at first glance. then i realised it's the song that kelly sang at the finals.

c o o l. i tot it was really a damn touching song. so here goes. good things are meant to be shared. :)

i love kelly.

omg that sounds damn les.

anyway, now starting to have fun drawing venn diagrams in logic tutorial. never had so much fun doing tutorials before.

so my mood have been lifted.

anyway i had a very bad hair day so i tried tying my hair. den i realised its grown so long that it can be in a pony tail again. a really small one i guess.

and suddenly i missed my old ponytail.

wahaha fickle minded me.

anyway,

thank god for wonderful pple put into my life.

meanwhile, have a gd weekend pple and njoy the song! :)


被爱的女人

在镜子前面　我是个被爱的女人
他站在门外　这个周末我可以依赖在他的胸怀

在情人面前　我还是单身的女人
爱若缺了缘份
我想我只能用情至深但不能太认真

为什么被爱　有时却觉得悲哀
为什么我还是害怕一个人醒来
为什么相爱　日子却仍然空白
为什么你　走不到我的未来

让爱固定下来　我不会永远青春可爱
我的美丽要你的温柔帮我保留下来
让爱固定下来　我和你　不要不要分开
我不要爱一再一再彩排
* 我不是每次失恋后都能重新再来 *

the dilemma

this is goin to be a very bimbotic post. hahaa but who cares.

i'm hating my hair now. it's growing longer so fast im wondering how come it nvr used to grow so fast. so now it's at the shoulders and getting quite unmanageable, meaning if i get up of bed, i look horrid.

b o o o o to bad hair days.

and the colour's fading badly. i need another colouring soon enough. i've been saying this to cheryl for at least the past 3 weeks.

just havent found the time to do it la. esp now me and ln havent been meeting up for our regular saloon trips.

so im just wondering if i shld trim it a bit and let it grow long again. or just cut it even shorter

comments, people?

not that many pple read my blog too. or rather i know people read it but don't comment.

anyway it sure feels good to know that some pple are pretty up to date with my blog. :)

never in my life have i felt as stupid as i did almost each and every sch day this sem.

it certainly doesnt help that pple around u are so much smarter than you are with minimum effort.

i can swear i did study alot for this test. so much so that i overslept and missed the lecture this morning.

but it doesnt help that the test was blardy difficult. first time i stoned at the paper for quite a few mins.

RARRRRRRRRR.

suddenly i feel that effort is not directly proportional to doing well.

wish me luck pple, i think i need lots of it in this one year.

i think the only gd thing abt today was the trip back home.

argh.

it's really feels like the 13th of the month.

b a h h h h h

someone once told me this.

" take time to look at the beautiful world and listen to life conversations"

this may not be the exact words but it was what i remembered it to be.

the above may sound be some line spoken without much tot. and to some of u, it might seem like some really cliche line.

but to me it lifted me up from the depth of despairs. and suddenly everything didnt seem too bad after all.

mabbe cos of this, i've grown stronger.


thank you very much.

and so..

juss' new lancer finally arrived in the mail yday.

it was due for collection on mon,and i was pretty excited abt it(much more than him)

then it din arrive

then come tues,it still din come..

and when it finally came on wed, my excitement was almost gone.

but when i finally sat in the car for the first time, i was pretty much excited.

fiddling with the so cool stereo set, pushing the seat back and fro, opening all possible compartments that i could find, even including exploring the boot. (which btw is so empty now i feel that i can sleep in it)

and of cos, snapping fotos of it.





check out the lights.i love it when it's night time.


not forgetting to mention that he gave me a little surprise by turning up in school pretty much early to fetch me. and cos i wasn't prepared for it, that poor boy had to wait for 0.5 hrs.

and so, having a little time to spare, we drove to fort canning park mount faberwhere i took some fotos of the car. cannot take where there are too many pple ma. later pple think i'm sua ku.

so pardon me pple, i may seem like one such person but i have many reasons for doing so!

(1) this is the first time i went shopping for a car. not to mention pretty many places. including travelling to bukit timah in a bus and back. and we finally found the best buy. thanks to jz and xw! =)

(2)also the first time someone really close to me buys a new car. after all, i dun have a family car.

(3) i like the car so really much. cos it's in silver and i love the sports lights.

(4) most imptly, juss have been urging me to drive the car. which ive been pretty much touched by.

why?

cos everyone who knows me know i havent drove more than 20 times since i got my license in almost 2 yrs. and everytime i drive, there's always someone beside me, the person usu my uncle or juss. and the last time i drove with juss. i almost got into a major accident. which by the way is really major.

i was turning right and i din even bother to check traffic and i went off. (my theories of driving piled right at the back of my brain) and i almost collided with 2 cars coming from the right going straight. luckily the drivers had fast reactions.

phew.

that really shaken me. so i really dun dare to drive a car in the near future, much less a brand new car.

anyway. enuf abt this new addition.

we went to play mj at leoG's house later on. i din play much. but it was really a good break for the really hectic week. and i managed to watch initial D again.



i'm really glad the weekend is here. although i have a fm test next week. i just hope things turn out just right.

it's pure bliss when after a 12-hr day at school, your other half who had worked more hrs den you comes from east to west just to ferry you home. and you get a chicken pie to eat on the trip :)

havent blogged in a few days.

and besides, the weekend, the only other thing i've gotta talk abt is that


kelly lost the finals =(

(wahhaa, see cheryl, i'm blogging it!)

seriously, i think the loss was pretty unexpected. i din catch the show live. kinda watched it on fri morning but i felt she did a pretty gd performance, enjoyed her coco lee song so damn much but weilian was gd in his own ways too. his voice still melts my heart mans.

but in some ways im stil quite glad he won. and i just wished pple would stop saying that he won cos pple pity him.

give him some credit!

anyway, enuf of superstar.

it's sunday again .

weekend has passed me by so quickly yet again.

it was kinda a fun-filled weekend with minimum work done. (read: i'm so dead)

it was a weekend that din start off on a very gd note but thankfully ended nicely.


friday.

met up with some of juss' coursemates at wala wala. my 2nd time there. this time they din go up to where the live band was. we just sat outside and talked crap. or rather i listened to them crapping. it was quite funny actually. drank a bit of hoegarden cos juss wanted me to drive. but somehow in the end, i think he was more sober than me to drive. -.- '''

supper-ed at this bak chor mee stall at thomson. and i saw the famous prata there that i've yet to try! i wanna eat tissue prata. but majority wins so we settled for the bak chor mee which wasnt gd at all. i still prefer soup bak chor mee with meat balls! i miss 85.

mummy says i should stop eating supper before i become too fat. hahah. it's true. i've been supper-ing too much. super sinful.

but at least i made it a pt to sleep at least 2 hrs after that :)

saturday.

stayed home in the afternoon to try to do a bit of work. but stuck with hyp prog still and i dun really understand cf tutorial. felt damn demoralised.

then juss fetched me to beauty world, this plc in bukit timah. (i had and still dun have any idea where that is) met the cf pple to shop for food for our bbq at you hong's place.

nuggets, sausages, lotsa hashbrowns, chicken wings, strawberries! bananas with melted chocolate, very very nice dory fish with sambal (it was my fave) and cocktail with sprite(my first time trying it but it was really gd) . and some red wine. :)

the turnout wasnt too good so it ended up with us stuffing ourselves with lotsa food. but what was great was the company. nice meeting up everione again and got to know some others that i nvr really used to talk to in the past. i should learn to be more sociable man.

suddenly im kinda lookin forward to my working life. i hope all turns out well, especially my hyp.

ok, its time to start doing some serious work!


have a great week ahead, pple! =)

ps: im so excited abt tmrw, somehow.
