Be politically correct How to be politically correct with women! She is not a BLEACHED BLONDE - She is PEROXIDE DEPENDENT. She is not a BAD COOK - She is MICROWAVE COMPATIBLE. She does not wear TOO MUCH JEWELRY - She is METALLICALLY OVERBURDENED. She is not CONCEITED - She is INTIMATELY AWARE OF HER BEST QUALITIES. She does not want to be MARRIED - She wants to lock you in DOMESTIC INCARCERATION

Hello.. So glad to see Jen's msg! =) Not sure why..but suddenly sent into an ultra-sentimental mood after viewing a friend's website. Hmm...life is so complex. The least you expect something, the more it appears. Life will never be complete without experiencing ups and downs...sweet and bitter moments. Missing someone so terribly now. Hmm.. Treasure everyone around you, many would say. But how do

Joke of the Day =) : http://www.ahajokes.com/gb013.html People are stupid George W. Bush and his veep running mate, Dick Cheney were talking, when George W. said, "I hate all the dumb George W. jokes people tell about me." Wise Old Cheney, feeling sorry for his old boss kid, said sage-like, "Oh, they are only jokes. There are a lot of stupid people out there. Here, I'll prove it to you." Now

2004-09-06T20:17:00.000+08:00

HarLoz! It's the Sept holidays! Thankful for the 1 week break. =) Heez..though there's a lot of mugging to catch up on. Must learn from jAn..Sept's the month of mugging! =S Anywayz, the Homecoming Dinner last Saturday was quite "entertaining". Sigh..seems like I always bring upon those stupid free-labour jobs for myself..lol. =p If they were really interested in joining the Alumni (like us), they

2004-09-01T11:32:00.000+08:00

HaPpY TeAcHeRs' Day! Seems like Teachers' Day Celebrations at our alma maters have always been much more captivating than that in JC. =) Wonders why. It's basically quite impossible to keep apprehensive hearts from escaping out to somewhere else, beyond the guarded doors of the auditorium. ;) Nevertheless, while being confined there, the fashion parade and teachers' acts were rather entertaining.

2004-08-28T16:14:00.000+08:00

HeyaZ! A pretty interesting day out for PW interview with Dr. Tay from Alexandra Hospital. His "evasiveness" on many controversial issues have led us to conclude that professionals are afraid of being quoted out of context which in turn may jeopardize their reputation. =) Anyway, we asked him on relevant questions on the trend of more Singaporeans consuming slimming pills and he blabbered on

2004-08-24T20:00:00.000+08:00

Still mulling over the recent Straits Times Article on Pisceans being the most prone to Schizophrenia. Haha..think there's really an element of truth in it. (We are characteristically known to be big-time daydreamers, impractical bunch of people) Sigh! Maybe that's why I should oppose this change and be a psychiatrist in future to curb this psychiatric disorder. (*Le Chatelier's Principle!?*)

2004-08-19T20:47:00.000+08:00

yOz! :) It's been a tumultuous week of stifled creativity! =S Things are happening so fast that you simply don't have the time to tHiNk! *brain-dead* Realise I can't think much now.. And so the vicious cycle goes on...everyday we are fed with such overwhelming inputs of information that it's getting suffocative.. *chOkes* save me! Anyway, today was interesting. =) Was unknowingly called down for

2004-08-13T23:58:00.000+08:00

Hola! Happy Friday the 13th! =P Counting down..it's less than 4 days before my China friends make their way back to their homeland..feeling the precious moments ticking away silently. At times, there's this innate fiery contradictions within the human self...contending the mere possibilities of all options of life. In spite of everything...I believe I will truly miss the whole lot of them,

2004-08-12T21:44:00.000+08:00

Hello! The past week had been rather eventful though. A good thing my partner's a relatively good-natured, easy going person who does not complain unnecessarily unlike the others. :) Really thankful for that (",). Shopping seems to be her favourite past-time though. It was unbelievable that she was willing to splurge a good $200 on a piece of cloth at The Galleria. Good thing thou brought her

2004-08-03T20:56:00.000+08:00

The new week started off with the Taiwanese Students (MOE Taiwan Immersion Prog) visiting HC...the banners overhanging the announcement bridge served as a form of "fury debate"...Perhaps we are the only ones ever so sensitive to this issue. =P The Chengdu students would arrive in Singapore tomorrow around midnight. And we wonder: Why was the Chengdu welcome banner placed above that of Taiwan's? (

2004-07-31T23:59:00.000+08:00

Heyo..these days have been rather mentally exhausting. Mostly busy with carnival preparations! Now that Homecoming carnival has ended...it's time to rest! Monday's a holiday! :) Think Thursday's "Classical Renaissance 6" String Ensemble Performance at SP was quite wonderful..yep. Quite disappointed to hear from Jamie that Canon in D was played last year! Nevertheless, figaro, figaro was nice..

2004-07-27T21:51:00.000+08:00

Time flickers and creeps ahead; Sensing your presence fading away. Memories flood my heart more often than you thought; A tear, a smile, an understanding nod. Trapped in an abyss of emptiness; Till when do I find complete peace? The world echoed back silently; Thou shall find till eternity. Throughout my life, I've been searching; Searching for that glimmer of hope. Lead my life out of

2004-07-26T22:20:00.000+08:00

The recent hype with regards to "Hwa Chong Institution" surrounds the school with a wavy buzz. Everyone's talking about it. Gone will be the 4 arrows shooting in all directions, bursting with the kind of passion and exuberance...sigh. Didn't expect that this year was actually the last "Evening of Drama" as the original full Hwa Chong. Seems like our batch always fall victim to guinea-pig

2004-07-24T18:15:00.000+08:00

Hello! :) Spent almost the whole day today helping out at the Nation-wide story telling competition for Primary and Secondary students at the HC auditorium today. =) Think the Primary school students were fabulous..more originality and creativity than those of the Secondary School students. Perhaps due to "more knowledge and less space for creativity?" There's some scientific truth to this though

2004-07-23T23:59:00.000+08:00

yOz! :) Today ought to be a rather depressing day though..haha. Just got back our Bio block test scripts. Hmm...70% of the cohort failed the paper and I'm undoubtedly 1 of the casualties. (Guess it's kinda comforting to know that most of the people around you are more or less getting the same grades though.) Well...life moves on! Shall work harder for Promos then. :) Watched "Brotherhood" with

2004-07-22T22:14:00.000+08:00

It's so unbelievable to actually uncover the truths of reality...the psychotic nature of the people around you...the kind of "evil" thoughts they actually harbor behind the scenes...the unrelentless "fighting" and "wedging" of war against each other silently...you never know who might backstab you any moment? There are people who seem to just do things for show...people who think that XXX

LIFE'S MIRROR---Did you see your reflection? :) There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave, There are souls that are pure and true, Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. Give love, and love to your life will flow, A strength in your utmost need, Have faith, and a score of hearts will show Their faith in your word and deed. Give truth, and your

Today had been quite a terrible day to pass...feeling so sick all over. Seems like the flu and headache are getting more serious by the day...sigh. Should have stayed at home. But thought about removing the banners for "Hua chu wen xue jiang". Maybe rest tomorrow? ..Still have carnival stall dryrun to oversee and guitar prac..(can't afford to skip any more practices..) Hope I didn't look as pale

2004-07-19T17:35:00.000+08:00

Think I'm suffering from Monday Blues again. Feels so terrible up there..didn't even manage to enjoy a game of tennis today. Hope the flu, migraine and fever weren't the aftermath of the trail and a long day out in the open. Fortunately, sequence of lessons today were pretty manageable. No overload yet. :) Heaved a sigh of relief after getting back the hCl and gP block test scripts. Reasonably

2004-07-18T17:40:00.000+08:00

Yoz! :) Yesterday went for the Racial Harmony Trail from morning till afternoon.. was in charge of route S1B. Think YX and I were super enthusiastic and ON! Haha..hope we did "inject" some life and activeness in those SKSS students! *SKY!* Initially..the heavy rain and streaks of lightning dampened our spirits and had to hold the Ice-breaker and opening ceremony at SMU's school of business

"Happiness does not come with having hands. It's the love and care of the people around you that matters the most."---LENA MARIA, woman born without both hands in Sweden. A very inspiring video by the Taiwan Press indeed. Lena is an epitome of courage, perseverance and determination. Despite being different from the norm, she has never given up on herself..In fact, her story touched my heart

2004-07-13T21:32:00.000+08:00

Today's been a hectic day..as usual. Sigh..wrist and arm aching terribly now..must have overstrained muscles while playing tennis. Bio Practical today was unexpectedly enjoyable...played around with the MICROSCOPE! Yep..Quite interesting though..viewed onion epidermic cells..It's so amazing to actually see for ourselves the very CELLS of living things magnified! MICRO TO MACRO! Heh..actually had

2004-07-12T19:00:00.000+08:00

yOz! Yesterday went Woodlands Library to read up some stuff on Chem and Bio. Really glad to find Campbell and Reece's BIOLOGY 5th EDITION!..And also John Muhrry's ORGANIC CHEMISTRY! Have been looking for these 2 books for some time. Met up with DK for dinner at Mac..Hoping that he can still make time to meet up often. It's the start of the weeK again! Learnt TennIs for our PE modules..think it's

2004-07-09T18:31:00.000+08:00

HeyoZ! It's finally the end of a hectic week again...sighz..so busy nowadays. Dark rings appearing! HmmMm..week started off fine..usual adjustments to lessons after a 1 month break and crazy block tests. Went back to ANDSS these 2 days to sell HC Homecoming carnival coupons! Together with XY,YC..we managed to top the chart for the maximum sales of $500! wOoo! Heh..gal power! Think it all boils

"In order to be steady, sometimes you've got to give up your wildest dreams"---SPIDERMAN Watched Spiderman this morn with HL,XY,KL and Jasper at Lido..think it rocks! =) Yep..looking forward to Spiderman 3! Peter Parker's really dashing..Mary Jane quite sweet-looking too..Quite awed by the scene when the train was 1/4 short of crashing down the cliff at the railway track! *aLmost tooK my breaDth

2004-07-04T23:12:00.000+08:00

Hey! Had an extremely fun and happy day! First time I laughed so heartily in so many days. =) Thanks. Spent a whole morning at Milly's house in Tampines for Hua Yun Meeting. Efficient and funky..lame discussions. "What's gotten into you? Bunch of creative ideas flowing like mad!" Ha..Interesting comment by Erene. ;)Think her Mum's Bee Hoon sOo much better than mine..haha. Must learn must learn. =

2004-07-03T17:31:00.000+08:00

Hey! One week just wheezed past so quickly! Block test is over! HooRay! =) Though some papers were kinda "disastrous" think it's an overall good eye-opener and experience to the Hwa Chong Block Test. Wonders why the not-so-smooth stuff happens during exams. The usual pains of course. Sigh. Hmm..quite a lot of incidents happened this week..firstly..almost lost my wallet on my way to school

2004-06-23T16:34:00.000+08:00

yOz! Spent the whole morning at YFSC stock-checking..desperately needing to find the file "Absent Papa"..Gosh..the whole storeroom was terribly duSty!..discovered termites' nest! Sorted all the stuff from "before 95" to "After 95"..tough worK! ThanK goodness we were all doing it together! =) Hmm..spent a nice evening at Sembawang Park with DK yesterday..2nd time I cooked for him! Think the bee

2004-06-18T10:20:00.000+08:00

Had a whale of a time yesterday at YishUn swiMming complex! =) Real hot day yesterday k..come to think of it..it's been almost 3 months since I last swam! =P Went with my cousin and 3 year old nephew Ren Bin.. Whole place was quite filled with people suN-tanning..sprawling at poolsides..awaiting the sun-kIssed gLow! Think many of the hunks there don't really know how to swim..ha..it has always

2004-06-16T21:39:00.000+08:00

Today was meant to be a pretty nice day..didn't know what happened to me. Sighz. Is it really just one of the mood swings I always have? Watched Harry Potter 3 this morn..graphics was good but still feel there's something lacking in it. Stayed at Esplanade Library for some time before I went down to "gaze" at the Sea..think the view overlooking the Merlion Park is beautiful! Yup...the sea..the

2004-06-11T10:34:00.000+08:00

Have been doing lots of unpacking since I came back...hopefully Bro will like the CDs I brought back..the Addidas Top and Cap that he desperately wanted! =) Was absolutely elated to receive a call from him last night (think he was just as happy :P)..believed our relationship has become "more mutual"..ha. Can't wait to see him tmr! Probably the less time you spend with each other, the more

2004-06-10T00:09:00.000+08:00

HeyoZ! Finally back home! Home's still the sweetest place afterall! =) As for the last week spent in Chengdu...went around places of attractions like "Du Fu Cao Tang"..a scenic place totally immersed in poetry and greenery..."Wu Hou Ci" the place where Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's war tactics and various historical monuments are situated..visited the tombstones of Liu Bei too! =D Most

2004-06-02T08:05:00.000+08:00

Heyz! Now in Shishi High School's computer lab! Finally a chance to access the Net! Yup..It's been almost a week since I arrived in Chengdu/Sichuan province. A beautiful city..rather prosperous. A bit of hygiene problem though...lots of smoking, spitting of chewing gum. Filled with loads of gratitude for my host family...making lots of efforts to make me feel welcomed and warm. =) Well..something

2004-05-26T22:46:00.000+08:00

Hey! Really really glad that my first dedication to YES 933 was picked! Exactly at 2153 by Pei Fen..my LEP senior! You rock! =) Think she was just as elated to read out my letter..haha. The song "You Ni Zhen Hao" by Yang Cheng Ling and Fan Wei Qi..really nice..too bad WX's radio broke down..couldn't record..Never mind. :) Was overwhelmed with joy when the sms-es came flooding in during the

2004-05-24T18:48:00.000+08:00

Hey! Today's the start of the Enrichment week! Yup.Dancesport rules! =) Kept our feets busy with the Latin Cha-cha and the Salsa dance today! Think it's really nice..sensual and fun! Especially after watching the professional dancers dance to the music..so hip..so happening! Had a sneak preview of the Waltz dance that we'll be learning tomorrow. =) Quite an eye-opener as the version that I learnt

2004-05-22T20:46:00.000+08:00

Had a pretty nice day today. =) Went for Entrepreneur challenge in school this morning...where the best 3 finalists of the BBI fought to win the first prize of $2000! Think it was a quite a close fight between SPARK and Rental Games. Nevertheless, helped Zi Qian with the "sms spread"...such that he had a wonderful audience obediently raising their hands when enquired about the msg received. =P

2004-05-19T18:25:00.000+08:00

Heyz! =) Had quite an interesting day at the Botanical Gardens!=D Didn't really discover its beauty till today..ha. Went round CCAB and SMU too..=) Went through the 5 port stations meant for the Secondary 2 students. Think it's pretty fine..beautiful rainforests..nice time trekking! ..except for occasional pits and the ever-present mosquitoes! =P In fact, it was a wonderful meeting "place" with

2004-05-16T13:50:00.000+08:00

Heyz! Musical Soiree ended with a huge bang tonight! =) Was really surprised to see the whole audi flooding with people...to the extent that the 2 corner steps were all filled up! Heard that were more than 1000 people who came!To think that a few days back..we were told that only half of the ticket sales were taken! Believed everything went pretty smoothly...especially for our drama:At the

2004-05-09T09:19:00.000+08:00

HelloOoz! Just came back from the Esplanade Theatre make-up practice for Chung Cheng High's performance! =) Had been making up for the village boys these 4 days..hope today's show was a resounding success! Gambatez! =D Will miss the 9 of them a lot..truthfully. Clement...his "sausage lips" and weird habit of squirting water from a bottle when he's nervous..Jeremy..his "gayish acts and perverted

2004-05-05T12:14:00.000+08:00

Looking forward to the Esplanade Theatre Make Up practice! cOoL..=) Happy for Bro's successful application to NTU's computer engineering! CheeRs! Finally thought of a surprise for Mum on Mother's Day!! Cosy meal inside the cable car at Mount Faber! Shall discuss with Dad and Bro..hmm ;) ..."Live with passion, lead with compassion"...

2004-04-26T02:45:00.000+08:00

Really sad day yesterday... Was already very tired from the LEP 02 camp from Fri to yesterday morn...struggling to keep myself "sane" as I went for drama full run yest afternoon. Guess the best way to keep myself awake is to laugh and be hyper...maybe too much? I donnoe..just couldn't think of anything. Things were going fine till the final run...terribly sorry for the NG that I caused. But it

2004-04-23T12:29:00.000+08:00

Quite a fine day to start off with...finally reaching the end of the week again! Finally can get home when the sky is still bright..haa..these days had been tiring.=) Great time to rest and pick up spirits! Glad to hear from DK again...=) Didn't receive news of him these weeks..thought I transferred his no. wrongly..ha. Anyway, yesterday's zu zhang election was smooth! Thank goodness..=D Managed

2004-04-19T04:22:00.000+08:00

HellOooO! Quite a sunny sunday! =) Yesterday went Changi Airport with drama crew and cast to film a departure scene...quite depressing setting though..lots of memories. Anyway..then went back school's admin block for drama full run with the the musical groups, costumes and props this time. Could really feel the "rush" the "sense of urgency" of the front-stage actors. Quite a lot of hiccups

2004-04-18T13:39:00.000+08:00

To Believe To believe... is to know that every day is a new beginning. It is to trust that miracles happen, And dreams really do come true. To believe... is to see Angels dancing among the clouds, To know the wonder of a stardust sky, And the wisdom of the man in the moon. To believe... is to know the value of a nurturing heart, The innocence of a child's eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,

2004-04-13T12:37:00.000+08:00

Went for LEP Scholarship Interview at MOE today. Was one of the last few interviewees for the day..pretty tired then. Hmm...it was pretty smooth initially...could tell that the interviewers are getting smarter and smarter by the years...knowing what we would say..what are the "politically correct" answers. The questions asked were a bit out of the norm too. Hopefully I didn't screw it up. Was

2004-04-12T00:58:00.000+08:00

Happy Easter! =) Spent quite an enjoyable Saturday in school..went for "hua yun" meeting then drama practice. Preparations for xiao huang cheng began at 12pm...the costumes, the hairdos, the make-ups...then started at 3pm..though there were technical hiccups when it was our turn, think the overall fashion show was pretty smooth..ha..=) Except for the part when our voices were drowned off with

2004-04-04T05:35:00.000+08:00

Heyo..went for the 6th Research Symposium in school today...quite a beneficial talk and presentations by the seniors and TCHS students. =) Especially the ones about seaweeds..didn't know that there are 4 colour types..the SQ SAF army uniform newly designed with inclusion of goretex, silicon carbide and silver threads! Interesting one..allow evaporation of sweat and yet doesnt allow water to seep

2004-04-02T13:36:00.000+08:00

Happy April Fool! =) Received DK's letter today..coincidentally as well. Pretty affected by what he wrote too..."relinquish the promise or stall for a few years..maybe?"...Special meaning behind the marker holder too.. Thanks! =) Hmm...today had been an extremely hectic day...6h long stretch of full blast lesson without any breaks...then another 4h straight..almost couldn't think straight...

2004-03-30T14:03:00.000+08:00

Hmm..these days had been very depressing. Will walk out of the shadows soon. Life still goes on, the sun still shines. It's time to rediscover myself, who I really am and what I really want in life. Perhaps when you've known yourself well and learnt to love yourself, then you can start sharing this love and this understanding. So precious altogether. Wonder if what I can't let go is the love so

2004-03-28T10:51:00.000+08:00

Beginning to feel very sentimental these days..hmm..partly from the actings, partly from the letter I penned out. Hopefully it didn't give a wrong signal or whatsoever..love is really such a peculiar thing..despite knowing there are no such things as forever and eternity..yet people are willingly to be deceived and blinded by it. Guess that's why "Love is Blind"...Maybe it's time to take a step

2004-03-23T11:54:00.000+08:00

HeyO! It's the first day of the week! CheeRs! =) Hmm...welcome talk for the 2nd intakers was actually only 1 period...nevertheless had fun in school today. Got back my first Bio lecture test! My first "A" in Hwa Chong! Real happy about it. Heard from Ms Wong that it was the easiest one throughout the 2 years..=S Then went for Musical Soiree Rehearsal today..finally saw the amended script! No more

2004-03-21T01:02:00.000+08:00

Hey!!! Just checked JAE posting results! Posted back to Hwa Chong!! *pHew*...was so scared just now...as another friend who got the same results didn't manage to get in. Probably was saved by LEP? 6 bonus points in all...=) Have been attending the EDB Business Plan writing course. Quite beneficial actually. Yesternight went for Sakae Sushi treat! =P Quite a long queue at the Heeren...should have

2004-03-19T08:17:00.000+08:00

Selected for Musical Soiree Narrator for 2nd half of concert! -Heex- Happy! =) *Cinderella* Looking forward to the concert in May! CheeRs!

Huang cheng ye yun 2004--Resounding Success!! ChEeRs! =D The 2 night shows and matinee went smooth and we were really high last night! Ban Bei Shui bi sheng! A very touching performance when Ah gong passed away...Ah Fang (my make-up actress!) was cute..dancing to the "Tian Mi Mi"..the rest did very well too! Qi cai ai Qin and Nao gui made much more improvements from the tech runs...cheers! Was

Heyo! Dad's 49th Birthday today! =P 1 more year to the digit 5! Bought a huge durian cake together with Mum...and we sang him a Birthday song! That's probably the first in 49 years!? ;) Got him pretty touched! =) Yesterday went out with Ni to watch "The Butterfly Effect" Excellent one! Yup...about a "psychotic" guy, whom from young couldn't remember what he did moments ago...committed heinous

2004-03-07T15:57:00.000+08:00

Helloo...just came back from hwang cheng zong cai pai 2..yup! Think we were really wonderful today! Make-up was fast...and thus a lot of time for slacking around! =P Even had time to plan for our "hua zhuang outing" this coming friday! Yup...=) Our "xie mu" was pretty good tonight..much improvements..believe spirits are soaring high now! Many of the seniors came back to support us too! =) "Huang

Hello! Today's fri..yay! Finally the end of another week...hmm the huge hoo-ha in school was the release of A level results! Cheers to hwa chong! Did quite well...though paled slightly in comparison to last year's results. Higher Chinese had 100% pass! =) More As this year! Yup! Though Ms Hwee didn't manage to be one of the top student, think her results are really SupeR duPer gooD! Yup...GP A2,

YAY! Our team got into semi-finals for BBI! CheeRs to Paradish Cafe! =) Nice name right..hahah...Dishes in Paradise! I thought of that name ;) Yup!

2004-03-01T10:51:00.000+08:00

Happy Leap Year! =) To all the babies born on 29th! Happy Birthday! =P Hmm..today hadn't been a great day..when for the Speech Competition at the old SPH Hall...didn't manage to get into the finals.sighz. Out of 25 participants..only chose 6. and 1 from each school. Hmm...must say the standards this year are pretty high, for those who had well-prepared speeches and managed to win the judges'

2004-02-29T02:00:00.000+08:00

Morningzz! The sun shines bright! =) Whatever has happened has happened...hmm didn't exactly get a good night's sleep. Actually cried to sleep after my teacher called...felt so bad and guilty that I didn't live up to his expectations. sighz. And he had to keep saying it's ok..never mind. Could hear from the tone of his voice that he was disappointed. very. But just trying to hide it and bring

Hey...kinda heavy-hearted now....quite a disappointing result...hmm..didn't expect to get 8 points. Though everybody says it's ok..not bad..but the feeling just isn't right. Mum has been sighing so much ever since news reached her. Sighz...though there's no use dwelling over it...but it just seems so unbelievable..how could amath, eng and bio get A2? Probably affected by cohort's performance...

2004-02-27T13:03:00.000+08:00

Haha..though it's a bit late for cross-dressing now..think it's fun! =) We were smart enough to choose a day without any tutorials! Yup...they all say I've got the "Nan Yang wei dao"! haha..;) Then Yiling looked so corny in the Anderson Pinafore! -lolx- Still like my council skirt better! =) Walked past our CT and Bio

2004-02-18T12:41:00.000+08:00

hiya! today's quite a tiring day in school...mind saturated with numbers...hmm.. Was quite shocked when my senior class mortal (Qing zhao) presented the "exquisite" fountain pen to me! hmm...kinda guilty then what I gave him didn't exactly match up to it...ehh..shall make it up to him one day. =) Oh yah..kinda excited about our swimming PE lessons starting next Mon! Yay! Feels good just thinking

2004-02-16T05:57:00.000+08:00

Sighx...feeling at a loss now...such intense feelings overwhelmed me the night before..wonders why my heart felt so "painful"... Time and time again...there's this feeling of insecurity...don't know what triggers this. But somehow I feel that in life, there are certain things that one yearns for...but in the end you realise it's actually something so unattainable and so unrealistic. I've come to

2004-02-15T15:33:00.000+08:00

Heyo! Happy Valentine's Day to all! *sMiLez* =D Anyway..had a pretty "hectic" and tiring week..sighz..guess it just accumulates over the weeks. Went for STJ last night at Marina South's "Zheng fa huo hai xian"..yup! Quite a nice place for seafood..haha..still remember the "jumping prawns" incident! Agghh...and the wriggly crabs..and Jaspar's greedy look! =) -unforgettable!- Think there really

Had such an embarrassing "floury" experience...but for the sake of fun, it was ok.haha.

2004-01-26T05:28:00.000+08:00

Life's Tug Of War Life can seem ungrateful and not always kind. Life can pull at your heartstrings and play with your mind. Life can be blissful and happy and free. Life can put beauty in the things that you see. Life can place challenges right at your feet. Life can make good of the hardships that we meet. Life can overwhelm you and make your head spin. Life can reward those determined to win.

2004-01-24T00:09:00.000+08:00

2004-01-10T17:11:00.000+08:00

Then we were given a talk

2004-01-04T07:13:00.000+08:00

-hellox- Today's quite a nice day. Went out early to hwa chong to submit subject combination form. Made my 1st choice: HC,Bio,Chem,Math...Hopefully this odd combination will be granted. Hmm..feels a bit disappointed that I wont be taking Econs for the 1st 3 months. Guess taking LEP limits a lot of choices to other subject combinations. Then made my way back to Anderson for a Youth Wing meeting at

2004-01-03T13:29:00.000+08:00

YaY! Today is the first day of school!

2004-01-02T10:44:00.000+08:00

Hey...a bright and sunny day! =) An unexpected meeting though while out to get some stuff...met up with a person whom I've not seen for the whole of 4 years! Hmm...lots of memories came flooding back...Mind became blank and heart seemed to skip a beat! ha.. Still the same old look...nothing changed and don't think his personality changed either. Still the same old goody Ken! =D Stayed and chatted

2004-01-02T01:21:00.000+08:00

2004-01-01T08:08:00.000+08:00

hEyA...It's New Year's Eve today! Worked half day today at the centre...this morning was disastrous...before I left for work. Fever hadn't subsided totally...cold still persisted and worse still my abdomen was extremely painful! Such excruciating pain is so far the first...couldn't even manage to stand up...in the end sat on the kitchen floor and had to ask my brother to fetch me my medicine! -

2003-12-31T12:30:00.000+08:00

Just reached home from work...feels absolutely lousy...my head feels heavy...caught a cold...and my abdomen hurts...=S Sighz..feeling terrible. But the only thought of how excited the kids were when they got the pencils seemed to alleviate the pain a little. =) Tomorrow shall be the last day I see them. -sadz- Anyway..hope DK had a fun birthday.. To think sickness strike at this time...nose

2003-12-31T05:26:00.000+08:00

Hmm..firstly wanna wish DK: Happy Birthday! Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! Hope he likes the pens...special meaning behind them! =) Anyway..really tired now...maybe it's because yester night went swimming again and had a "reading marathon" till 1.30am...managed to finish the 2 series of romance novels by Zhang Xiao Xian...Qin Ren Wu Lei...hah...nice one! =) Very touching. About the love between a

2003-12-30T12:46:00.000+08:00

hEyA! It's a brand new week again! Lots of events this week...yeah? The arrival of 2004...my last days at the centre and the starting of a new school term. Racked my brains for the children's farewell gifts...finally decided. Shall buy a pencil for each of them and use marcaroni to make their names on it. =) Hmm..personalised one! Today is a tiring day...just as usual...back and forth journey can

2003-12-26T14:51:00.000+08:00

A wet Christmas indeed...spent the whole day with my 2 cousins! =) Went out early in the morn with them to East Coast Park and cycle...pretty shocked to see sOoo many people there...many family gatherings and picnics! Like the sea view there very very much! Over the horizons...the sea and the sky just seemed to blend perfectly well! By noon time...we were strolling away at Far East Plaze...hippy

2003-12-25T17:02:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas! =) Wow..it's been a long long day! Last night didn't sleep a wink at all...we were all stuck at the centre doing the last min prep for the X'mas party! As expected the party was fun and ran smoothly too! =) The party started at 6pm...with the centre buzzing with activity...the xmas atmosphere was already present long before the kids arrived. I was supposed to be the one bringing

2003-12-24T04:26:00.000+08:00

HeYa! I'm now at the centre...in the midst of a lunch break! =) Could hear the children running around and screaming outside from this small computer room! Ha...still remembered when I first came...couldn't exactly bear the high-pitched voices of these kids! But I guess..it's still slightly better than those I heard at the disco! =S Now gradually getting used to the life here...used to the

2003-12-22T18:22:00.000+08:00

Quite a sad evening... went off to pasir ris to meet my ex-classmates as they are having a chalet...was thinking of staying overnight there & make my way to the centre the next morning. Went with 2 friends but both had to leave tonight. Was very surprised that there were only the ex-6B guys staying there for the 1st night and the rest are coming the next day...absolutely none from my class

2003-12-20T16:29:00.000+08:00

A whole day of light drizzling...hMm...went to uncle's house in the evening for a year-end family gathering! Seems like the rain came at the wrong time...dampened our moods for bbq!.. Had our gifts exchange...quite a fun one since this is the first in like sOoo many years...haha...got a small cute mug with a doggie key chain from Precious thoughts! Nice one! =) Glad to meet up with my cousins

2003-12-17T12:54:00.000+08:00

hEy! today's quite a boring day...perhaps it's due to the non-stopping rain outside. Guess when the rain comes...moods are easily affected... 2 more weeks left to spend with the kids there! sIghx...guess I'll really really mIss them when schOol starts! Whenever I'm with the young ones...it feels so different. It's as if the world just doesn't seem to evolve around you only. A sense of purpose &

2003-12-14T14:34:00.000+08:00

Today...an equally energy-draining day.. Went to Embassy Disco at 3pm..then the crowd gradually streamed in. was in charge of the prize presentation and lucky draws. The prizes were quite attractive though! =) First time experience at a disco. Quite ok though. Except the part where the band's drumming & guitar sounds were so deafening that my ear drums almost burst! =S *wonders how those pub

2003-12-12T15:27:00.000+08:00

Today's really very tiring! went to camp early in the morn..quite fun though. things are still the same! Just that the people have changed. Anyway, will be going back again tmr for the campfire. Met the dancers at Pasir Ris downtown east chalet for the farewell party! Buzzing with activity..later knew that the school has given $400 to the Dance club for the chalet and bbq! =) SooO..happy abt it!

2003-12-11T12:42:00.000+08:00

YoOo! Today came back from Aranda country club..was there for 4/4 chalet from Mon till today noon! =) A very spacious living & dining room with 2 bedrooms! But the facilities over there were still under construction. Hmm..this year..not much programme planned..free and easy. But surprisingly I think I truly enjoyed every single bit of it, especially with the company of my classmates. Mingled

2003-12-07T10:34:00.000+08:00

hEy! today went for OAAS meeting at 10am! Was really surprised that so many of my ex-schoolmates turned up! =) Heard from Belinda that this is the most "oN" batch!
