another entry. haha.

today was the super impromptu ocip x'mas lunch! ooops it was so out-of-the-blue because a few of us were chatting online yesterday night (yes, on x'mas eve, i know) and lamenting how sad it would be to stay at home for x'mas. AND SO, we decided to meet up for buffet lunch! we did not decide the details until today morning. sorry it was THAT impromptu. we'll have another outing which would be WELL-PLANNED ((:

in the end, we ate at swensons instead. thanks to you-know-who. haha. nah, actually it's okay la. it doesn't really matter where we eat. we had some brisk walking exercise before we FINALLY gave in to swensons, so i guess it prepared us for some heavy lunch. lol. oh and we saw qianlei and gwen! they went to kbox. sad that they couldn't join us )):

poor jonny didn't have alot of cash, so he had no choice but to order cheesy egg=kid's meal=small portions=getting niao-ed by all of us. oh well. and e waitresses had to emphasize KID'S MEAL. haha. oops. nvm lah, e alphabet thing looks pretty appealing. yuntian and i shared crawfish pasta and chicken baked rice! wheee~~ super yummmmmmmmy. e cheese zomg is heavenly.

then, all of us shared Earthquake, which ultimately became Flood when we passed it to those sitting at the other end. oh, and mingren joined us! just in time for icecream.

guess where is our next destination??? THE ARCADE OF COURSE. junquan and yuntian left subsequently, leaving e guys, xinwei and i. jiahao and i went to walk around, so did maodun and xinwei. i've never really explore marina square before. today i suddenly realised it's actually v big! im ulu. haha. it's a great shopping place. oh ya, and jiahao wore contact lenses today! yay should wear more often then we'll get used to it. haha.

yuntian, jiahao and i took pictures with the very pretty x'mas decorations! will upload e pictures soon cuz something's wrong w blogger again. bleah.

hmmm. oh we went back and they were playing pool! hahahaha. jonny and lg are e "coaches" cuz they're v pro! then, jm, kaiern, mr and mao played. i forgot who teamed up with who.haha. well, from an observer's point of view, the verdict is that pool pros are playing at the table beside us. hahaha. i think they had completed 3games while we only finished 1. or maybe even MORE. haha.

yup. then jiahao and i joined jonny and lg for the next round! we are both noobsss. haha. he claimed that he is more noob than me. so you see, noobs cannot pair up tog because we will get thrashed by pool kings aka jonny and lg. lol. so eventually, jiahao and jonny were 1 team, while lg and i were another.

and we won! yay. lg too pro liao. haha. oh ya, there was this triangular relationship between e red-striped, orange and black ball. we definitely cannot risk getting e black ball into the pocket, so we avoided them at all cost. but, when we were left with only e red-striped one, we had no choice!! haha. wah i was so afraid that i would hit e black one in too. luckily i didn't! and so we won e game.

after that, we left the arcade, with kaiern and jonny disappearing within seconds. i went home for dinner and the rest continued to shop ard.

and so concludes our impromptu but still q fun x'mas lunch.

MERRY X'MAS!

RAwr. I DISLIKE BLOGGER. I WAS LOADING PICS HALFWAY THEN *POOF EVERYTHING WENT MISSING. darnnnn it.

anyway, i'm finally back from m'sia! after being stranded for 3 whole days. but i must really thank my lucky stars that i got back safely. (((:

i really enjoyed my stay in cameron highlands. e weather there can be likened to shanghai's, though e latter is cooler. anyhow, i've decided i like temperate countries. lol. i used to think i cannot survive in those countries cuz i'm averse to cold. but now i'm kind of accustomed to it. yipee~ my next aim is to witness snow. lol.

let the pictures tell the story

anthurium apartments. the place i stayed at in cameron highlands.

where all the pretty flora lies.

it has red leaves! zomg. haha. i donno what it's called.

orchid ((: issit vanda miss joaquim? hmmm.

my 2 v lovable cousins and i.

Friday, December 15, 2006 @ 9:58 PM

hmmm. having a slight headache now. it must be from the filing of subject notes just now. i spent 2 whole hours filing 4 subjects' worth of notes. i have a love/hate relationship with tidying up my room. love: it calms me down whenever i'm feeling cranky/edgy. i would feel tons better after i clear the mess on the table. hate: the dust makes me SNEEZE and WHEEZE ): and sometimes i get throbbing headaches. rahhh. like NOW.

anyways, ezuojuzhiwen is really funny! i like. haha. jiang zhi shu (played by joecheng) doesn't need to study for exams and he can easily top the school -.- i don't believe anyone has such kingbar brains. even zeqi needs to revise for his tests. lol. but yeah, i really wouldn't mind having an IQ200. who would?! okay im talking rubbish here. blame the heacache.

i'm leaving for m'sia tmr morning!!! i'll be going to my grandma's house, then to cameron highlands. never been there before. hope the weather will be cooling (((: will be back on 21dec! yay. don't miss me!!! muahahaha. so EGO.

Wednesday, December 13, 2006 @ 11:43 AM

i'm feeling better now (:

thanks to those who showed concern, i really appreciate it.

i guess i shall just leave those thoughts at the back of my head and not let them haunt me.

we're having ocip mass convos almost everyday now. or issit everyday?? lolllll. sigh, don't know what will happen when sch reopens. i'm praying hard that we won't drift apart but that's just inevitable. oh well. we should at least organise a gathering during every school holiday! that way we wouldn't drift too far apart. or we can have mugging/studying sessions together. meanwhile, we should have more outings during e hols. it's soon ending ))):

went to esplanade library yesterday to study with pauline darling and cheryl dear. yipee! i like the atmosphere there; it's conducive for doing work. shall go there more often. and we would be have another cooking party at pauline's house on friday! gonna make delicious cupcakes! lol. hope we'll have no accidents such as PSI 1000 in our last cooking party. haha. actually it's not a party cuz it consists of only 3 ppl but who cares =P mitch the pig went australia so he would miss our party again. awww.

it's called a-cute invasion.

Monday, December 11, 2006 @ 10:22 AM

i'm so tired of it all.

excitement, disappointment, joy and confusion.

i've been on a rollercoaster ride, trying to figure out what i am supposed to do, how should i steer my direction, so that i don't get hurt.

looks like nobody can give me an answer.

i'm afraid to know the truth; yet, i need to.

there's no ending to this, it keeps going around in circles.

all these senseless wondering. how i wish somebody would just tell me what to do.

whoever said growing up is easy.

KBOXING at paradiz centre.

the oh-so-pretty pink x'mas tree outside The Cathay!

@ 10:50 AM

i'm currently smitten with oldies :DDD xlb's saying that i'm adopting charlie's taste of music, which can be worrying xD but some oldies are really sensational! such as bohemian rhapsody:

Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me
(Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico. I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go.) Will not let you go
(Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(Oh mama mia, mama mia.) Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Any way the wind blows

First heard of this song in Pride and it got me interested! but i didn't know the title of the song so didn't manage to hear the full version then. Now i've got the whole album in my iTunes, courtesy of yuntian's cd. THANK YOU XIAOTIANTIAN! hahaha. The song is composed of six distinct sections - introduction, ballad, guitar solo, opera, rock, and an outro. it's so unusual, it caught my attention the first time i heard it. but i guess not everyone likes it, cuz xlb says she hates it like crazy! oh well ))): to each his/her own. go listen to it on youtube and decide for yourself!

yesterday was loads of fun ((: had meeting and kbox session with the shanghai people. i think all of the girls can sing well! esp yuntian with her sensational voice that does not require the mike at all. and her range is back! wheeeee~ don't know if jonny's one is back though.

QUEEN can sing very well too! he was so humble about it. haha. could remember how he tried to make the duet between jonny and jiawei work, cuz they could barely coordinate! haha. i think they're just unfamiliar with the song bah. yeah and jonny pek kept spamming the list with laopokpok english songs, and then skipping to the next song after he sang halfway, cuz couldn't continue. zzz. lol. still, some of the english songs were enjoyable. e.g. DESPERADO! heh.

then there were people who refused to sing, e.g. lg and junquan. it must have been a torture for them. haha. imagine paying for something you didn't want to do. at least they were good sport to come and join us. haha.

after kbox, some people left as it was rather late already, close to dinnertime. wensi and some guys went to play pool, while jiahao, peishan and i played bishi bashi. jiahao the coach trained peishan and i to become not-so-noob bishi bashi players. lol. we must play more okay!!! then can improve on our zhamming skills. haha.

in the end, it was down to 3 of us, jonny, lg and wensi. we went for dinner at ps foodcourt and then headed home.

fun aside, SCHOOL is looming near. which reminds me of HOMEWORK i've barely touched. SIANNNN.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

how do you know when to give up? i'm so stuck in this dilemma of mine.

Desperado --Eagles

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

johnny's favourite song. lol. soon becoming one of my favourite!

I Will Follow You Into The Dark--Death cab for cutie

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Shall post the only picture where everyone can be clearly seen ((:

Local cip comm meeting portrait!

The meeting was kind of a failure cuz we kept going off the point. Still, it was great to meet up with them after e last outing :D And i reallyreallyreally (x100) cannot wait for kbox on saturday! everyone please don't pangseh and just GO! even if you feel that you cannot sing, or you've never heard yourself sing before. just go for the experience and company ALRIGHT! heh. and remember to bring lots of water, snacks cuz we would be singing from 11-7.

been staying up late these few days chatting with shanghai ppl. peishan, me, jiahao and lg are the owls of e ocip team. haha. i'm the junior owl cuz i'm e most noob one. always the first to leave the convo and sleep. zzz. nvm, i will train my nocturnal abilities and be promoted to senior owl.

had trng yesterday from 2-6. FOURHOURS. wasn't as hiong as monday's one, cuz we didn't do PT(yay!) and played match instead. jiaolian's inviting us to his wedding reception on JAN6! woohoo! can enjoy good food and dress up ((: oh but i don't know if it would clash with the local cip we're gonna do, cuz we decided to schedule it during the 1st week of term 1 next year. hope that it wouldn't! cuz i really want to go for both events. cannot wait to see jiaolian in his suave wedding suit.

Your Style is 1970s

Bell bottoms, platform shoes, wide belts, and tons of polyester.
You've got a bit of that hippie vibe going on, but you're hip enough to pull it off!

What Decade Matches Your Style?

You are a New Age Girl!

You're bright, opinionated, and dedicated to changing the world.
Even if it's one hybrid car at a time, you do you part to make things better.
In fact, you may be so busy with your causes that you have little time for love.
Take an extra yoga class or two, and you just might meet New Age Guy!

What Kind of Girl Are You?

You Are Furry Boots

They're not just boots. They're your dancing shoes!

What Kind of Boots Are You?

some mindless quizzes i did when i get too bored. lol.

You are The Lovers

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.

The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.

Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

wow. this is so cool! found it on maid tian's (ooops =P) blog. hmmm. really wonder what/who i will fall in love with. -shrugs-

and i have finally started on my hw!!! it took me a good 2HOURS to complete half a carboxylic tut -.- how efficient. hohoho. the amount of hw i gotta clear by the end of hols is really unnerving. judging by the time i took to complete a relatively easy tutorial, i would probably never finish the work on time. oh well. good luck! to myself and everybody else who's suffering the same fate as me.

i still miss those times in shanghai. believe or not, i dreamt about ocip shanghai a few nights in a row! every now and then, i would relive those days over and over in my mind. i'm rather surprised that the trip would have such a deep impact on me. or any event, for that matter. i mean, i'm the highly forgetful sort, so i tend NOT to remember much about anything unless it is really that significant. am i gonna to look back on those days, in my thirties, and wallow in nostalgia? i ain't got no idea. perhaps i will..

Friday, December 01, 2006 @ 10:05 PM

harlow :D have been rather lazy to update. hmmm. anyways, went to national library with weiwen today! was inspired by her to check out on university courses and scholarships. i feel like a clueless fly, not knowing which direction to head to. that aside, i found 7 great books to fill me in this dec! haven't been reading since shanghai trip and i feel really inadequate.

"And after he had made all the other creatures of the earth, only then did the Creator make man and woman. And he fashioned their bodies that they should know each other's flesh but their souls that they should forever be strangers. For only thus divided might they find their true path."
Calvin Sashone, Creative Mythology
