Grandma has recovered fully from the darn mosquito's bite, and she's as healthy as ever now. Grandpa has also recovered form a minor operation. Phew.. Thank god..

Have just retuned from a chalet held by the people at my work place. It had been pretty fun, minus awkward forfeits..gee.. and to think i was 'lucky' enough to have to had to do the forfeit twice. It was fun though, the Uno, Uno, Uno, and nothing else but Uno for me cuz i don't have the luck for gambling games like mahjong and blackjack and don't wish to lose my hard-earned money like that. I would rather spend the money than lose it cuz i know myself, i wouldn't win money. So, i dutifully stuck to games that were suitable for even children, UNO. Bam!

Am exhauted from deprivation of sleep for 2 nights consecutively, but isn't that what's chalet about? Staying up, having fun, sing-a-long, cycling, watching the sunrise, bbq-ing, and some attempts to win/lose money through games..

Have been falling asleep almost everywhere these 2 days. In Grandma's house, in Grandmother's house, in the car, on the sofa, anywhere. Wherever i can lean my head on, i'll fall asleep..Gee..Perhaps this is what they call replenishing.

Photos are finally uploaded.. Details in next entry..Hopefully.. ;)

Til then folks.. ChEeRs to the last semester!~

Yet another victim..

My grandma had fallen prey to the horrible dengue fever. We brought her in on Sunday night after incessant vomitting from Sunday afternoon, thinking the fever was brought about exhaustion from taking care of my Grandfather, hopping between home and Alexandra Hospital everyday for almost 2 continuous weeks.

After 10 blood extractions, 5 days of blood test, the doctor-in-charge finally confirmed with us that it's dengue fever. They told us that the giddiness was due to a lack of sodium initially and we thought things should be fine once the fever subsides. Grandma's fever has since subsided, but the darn mosquito bite continues to torture pure grandma. Doctors say there's no cure for dengue fever, and it's all up to the patient's constitution and will power to recover.

Old wives tales mentioned that water boiled with goat's horn would help. Grand-uncle and uncle drank the goat's horn water on a daily basis and had recovered from dengue fever too. I don't know how true it is, but since 2 have gone through it and recovered through this methos and it poses no harm, why not?

Well, I think besides medicine and some strength our faith gives us, moral support is important. I believe the best way for the patient to pass time and recover is for the family and friends to keep up the spirits and not sob and give up hope. Being optimistic makes life easier?

Guan Yin Niang Niang and all gods, please allow my grandmother to recover very soon and be able to get home soon. Grandpa relies a lot on Grandma to take care of him, but since grandma has to stay in the hospital for a certain period now, it's now the duty of the children and grandchildren to take care of both the elderly.

Dengue Fever is a killer, a great danger cuz you never know when the darn mosquito would strike. Thus, my dear friends and family members, please do take precautions like spraying insect repellent all over yourself, it doesn't matter if you stink from it, safety is more important. Oh yes, and wear more cloth, firstly, it will prevent you from a cold, secondly, it might help cuz denim might be a tad too thick for the darn mosquito.

Til then folks...Take care of yourselves ya..

Swim, Swim, Swim like a dog...

Swim, Swim, Swim like a dog...

I finally went on my much awaited swimming trip on Wednesday because Cheryl Mummy could not bear to see Little Ching throwing tempers for not bringing her to the pool for dinosaur years...

Who cares if i don't have the figure to don a swimsuit meant to kill? Who cares if I can't swim to save my life? Who cares if my hair will be harmed from the chlorine?

Putting asides all constrains, I pulled cheryl along with me to the pool at the Jurong East Sports Complex which we have not stepped into for T-rex years. Once we stepped into the place, heaven decided to play a trick on us and started crying cuz it didn't want to see me in a scanty swimsuit. However, we refused to give up and threatened heaven's decision with a KFC meal. Thankfully, heaven wipe its teared and released the sun once again so i could burn some unnecessary fats from the sinful lunch.

Whenever V4 went to the pool, our decision would normally be to keep the purple note safe in our wallets rather then throwing it in for yellow doughnut-like floats. But Cher n I decided to give a purple note up each this time so we could float without much effort. (Which defeated my main purpose of burning some unnecessary fats..Hmm..nope, i swam too actually..haha..)

Enjoyment wise, we definitely had our fill. We pretended to be kids once again and even paid for the child's fare.(For their pricing table, child's fare is meant for people under 18 years-old. Hey, I'm just a year over, I guess it's alright? Muahahaha..) We gave our weight to the floats and drifted round the lazy pool for more than an hour. Pretty amazing huh? How apt. The lazy pool for lazy people. Perfect.

Imagination brought us to 'WONDERland'. Cher was spiderman(girl actually) in the classic red and blue tight-fitting suit, while I was some ancient fairy with a costume full of dangling ribbons here and there. The spider-girl spewed cobwebs with a mere twist of the wrist and the fingers, while the fairy flies with one hand in front with the 'lotus-fingers' formation, fending herself with shots of ribbons from the sleeves with a mere twist of the wrists and fingers too. (Hey! So spiderman copied the ancient fairies' action? Hmmm...)

The man-made waves at the Wave pool seem longer than usual. Everytime the waves pushed us further in, we struggled hard to swim back to safer grounds though no matter how hard i kicked, we seem to get stucked at the same spot, not forgetting a bunch of boys constantly blocking our path to safer grounds. After the 'ordeal', our hands both ached from the gripping of our floats.(My arms are still aching from it..)

Then came the slides.. The longest slide wasn't open so we compromised and took the second best. It was fun no doubt, and we slide down the pink slide twice. Once a face-on flop into the water, and another successful stunt on the second attempt.

The sun then changed its colour, marking the end of the day with a warm cheerful orange, beckoning me to return to home sweet home.

Til then folks... Cheers to increasing funds for my long-awaited 5566 2005 concert! WooHoo!~

Nothing really important...

Nothing really important...

We've come to the 4th week of our holidays unknowingly. I've done nothing significant during these few weeks except being a potato couch armed with the SCV set-top box with engaging programmes, a computer with internet access, a job which only allows me to work twice a week, an irritating but pretty fun brother, a constantly shouting mother, busy friends who have tight schedules who spare a few days with me for ferocious shopping trips, an adorable little 5 year-old pink teddy bear courtesy of Huimin, a 14 year-old pillow dear grandma sewed for me as a little girl which had been through storms and hurricanes with me, a few library books for some good reading courtesy of mum and Huimin's library cards due to my carelessness which led to a good $15.25 fine, and most importantly, a house to slump in.

I wish to go swimming, but i don't wana go alone and risk drowning with no one to save me. I wana go shopping, but my shopping-mates are busy with their lives, plus my twice-a-week-job income doesn't permit me to spend like i'm a rich girl. I wana go cycling, again, no one's free to play with this poor little girl. Fortunately, V4 is planning a day of fun-filled activity-packed day next week in hope of gathering the "Bball gang", or so we called this group of friends who came together every week 3 years ago to play bball at St Margeret's compound. We're gonna go cycling, kite-flying, and gobbling seafood from the steamboat, Yeah! I'm so looking forward to it man!. I wana pack my stuff, but i guess this lazy feel that comes alongside holidays restrict me.

I wana plan for the annual Tanglin Primary School's Class 6A 1998 gathering, but it's hard to even start with the obstacles ahead with some being coming up with excuses even i can't comprehend. Some say they don't have spare moolah, fine! You can sit there with a cup of plain water, its free. Some say they're not free to come, fine! I asked for opinions on the dates that are feasible, but only a few kind souls replied. If you cant make it on the dates suggested, voice it! Excuses, pure excuses. People can stir up any rubbish just to get away. The numbers are declining year by year. From a good 20+, to a mere 10. From a full day gathering, to just a few hours for dinner. Surely it isn't that hard?

I once told a friend, "If you treasure this/these people enough, you wouldn't even think of not going." I strongly adhere to this thought. It came as a passing thought, but stayed on stuck to my mind.

I'll open the invite to all as usual, but whether they do sincerely come in the hope of meeting us, the old friends of a decade, it's purely up to them. We, the organisers are tired, and sick of lame excuses. Don't ask me how lame the excuses are cuz you'll know an excuse is made up once you hear it. Fine with me if you don't wana come, it's not as if i have to beg you to come. Shoo! Bleargh...

However, i'm glad i'm doing something significant to change my life, the way i look, my confidence, and my health. Don't expect too much though, it's still at the infancy stage. Nothing obvious as yet.

Oh yes, and my English has been certified at 2.25pm on 11 July 2005. It's not coming back until it has toured the world in perhaps 80 days so you can expect me to write rubbish and broken English for sometime, rest assure i won't use lianguage though. I don't know how i got that first letter of the alphabets for my "O" levels for it, now, how long ago was that? 3 years? Woah, that's how fast time passes.

Yea, so that's my life at the moment. Perhaps this will not be for long, cuz De'Lites has got a major presentation to prepare for in hope of some prizes..Hmmm...

Well, so that's all for now folks..a boring read huh?

Til then folks... Cheers to engaging Korean and Hong Kong dramas! ;)

DMC/3A/05 Class Gatherings 2005

It was fun, fun ,fun, some food, and laughter at the 2005 DMC/FT/3A/05 Class BBQ/Chalet. Here's what we did:

On the way after hours of buying and marinating the chicken wings, the prawns, and the sotongs...


Waiting for the fire to be started and finally, for the wings to be ready for consumption...


The first batch of wings were finally edible after what seems like hours of waiting alongside ferocious growling stomachs...


Class photos... How long have we not taken a class photo outside school time? Don't we look happy together? Smile!!!!~~~ Bare your whites!~


Nity and Nina managed to climb up the tall block with the help of the guys, only to find it hard getting down later on...


With some fabulous Escada Rockin' Rio, we bade goodbye to the BBQ smell on our clothes and bade the rest goodbye while they go on for another two days of fun at the chalet...


Til then folks...Cheers to more great days!~ Great days are simply welcomed aren't they? ;)

Have done nothing significant for my life but have been enjoyig life pretty much. Shopping sprees, outings, good food, reading, VCDs, DVDs, SCV, SCV, and SCV... I pretty much like slacking around during the holidays. Isn't this what's holidays are meant to be like?

Well, just enjoying life before getting into serious stuff meanwhile..nothing concrete, no plans either. My brains are taking a break..

C'est la vie!~

Life is a mystery

Life is a mystery

You never know what will charge at you the next moment.

Someone whom you thought is your friend might kill you the next moment.
Something which you think was safe might bite you the next moment.
Somewhere which you think was safe might prove you wrong the next moment.
Sometimes when you think everything's moving smoothly, someone, something somewhere might just kill that thought the next moment.

Dad asked me this question during dinner, "How long do you think this friendship would last?"

I put everything aside and thought for a few moments and I couldn't put a definite answer to it. The commitment, the heart, the thoughts, and the feelings all matters. Life is so unpredictable, no one knows what's going to happen the next second.

A friend once said that he/she would clear his/her contact lists every now and then. Someday, my name would go through the "Delete Contact" fate too.

As I learn of the harshness and cruelty of the real world, the world seems a disgusting place to be in. Despite the warmth surrounding us which we conveniently forget about from time to time, the world is a sickening place. Without these minimal warmth, the world should just crash.

I get scared. The media never fails to throw us tons of dramas where people scheme against each other. Real or reel? This current show I'm watching about palace life depicts two seemingly close sworn sisters scheming against each other to get to being the top concubines. On the surface they interact just like blood-sisters, while behind their backs, one is harming the other and vice versa. Palace life has expanded from the palace to modern day society. I guess the animal instinct jumps out at you when you're at a lost. "Kill whatever stops you from getting what you want"

I thought the person was a good person, but the person proves me wrong and shows me the evil side.
I thought i could rely on the person, but the person proved unreliable.
I thought i could believe in myself, but I prove myself wrong.
I thought things were going smoothly, but i'm wrong.
I thought everything was great, but I was wrong.
I thought it didn't matter, but i was wrong.
I thought the world is simply beautiful, but i was wrong, the evil within does not reveal itself unnecessarily.

I tend to judge people over a period of time. My judgement fails me at times, that's where the sad part comes in. There's a reason why I warm up to a person that slow, because i feel the need to understand, or at least get an understanding of how the person operates before the facde is taken now gradually. I can't bear my heart without an armour, for i know some pirate will stab their swords mercilessly when i'm not careful.

"You've to be careful about everything," isn't life tiring?

My Dad says there's a significant change in the way i speak and behave. He says i've become arrogant. I insisted that's the way the youths communicate and behave now. He replied saying his colleagues who are a mere 5 years older than I am don't speak that way. But I insisted it's surprising that the behaviour and lingos differ from year to year.

The world changes every second, so does humans.

Why make other's life difficult when you don't want yours to be made difficult by others? SELFISHness kicks in. Everyone is selfish. No one can declare themselves free from this. I'm selfish at times, or rather most of the times, i won't deny because it's a fact, nothing but the truth. We all want the best for ourselves and our loved ones. "Who cares about others".

If you think in a negative way, nothing on earth is worth the chance to live. Thoughts of suicide floats pasts one's mind. Various reasons pull the thought away.

I used to think suicide is but a foolish act which only brings pain and sufferings to the living who loves you. Now it seems like a brave act, though still selfish and foolish nonetheless when some others are fighting so hard jusy to keep their lives.

I am glad and thankful for who I am and what i have now.

My Dad hates people to tell him what to do, so do I.

"Press that button for water."
"Ok"
"Understand?"
"Yes"
"You really get it?"
"Yes"
"Are you sure you can do it?"
"YES! (Yes yes yes, i told you yes. Do you think i'm a plain idiot or do you think i'm dumb? When i say i understand, it means i do. If i don't i'll ask. Enough is enough. I live through my education for a reason.)

Perhaps this is a sudden outburst, a fleeting thought, or a built-up. I don't wish to care that much.

Life is tiring.
Life is a struggle.
Life can be beautiful.
Life can be ugly.
Life can be improved.
Life is pre-determined.
Life is what you think.
Life is all about going through birth, aging, illness, and death.
When you've walked to the last step, you'll enter a wooden bed just enough to fit your shoulders in and rest in there til your body decomposses.

Life is such. I'm gonna make my life better. Suicide will never be an option. Since Life's such, i shall make it good.

It will be good. In 60 years time, i'll sit in my rocking chair with my husband and dog by the fireplace, sewing jackets for my grandchildren and thinking of the young and sweet times. Great music drifts through the room as we sip our coffee, looking out at the green pastures occassionally. Our grandchildren running around with the puppies and goats. I'll invite my dearest confidents everyday just to have high tea and gossip and bitch about even at our age. Life will be excellent. It will.

Life will never get me down. I'll pat the dust away when i fall and rise to my feet in the shortest possible time.

I'm not a girl, not yet a woman. Somehwere in the middle, somewhere at the crossroad, faced with the harsh reality, the cruel society, but i will survive.

You never know what a female scorpion might do.

Til then folks... Tomorrow should be a better day, that's what hopefuls say all the time. I wish for everyday to be a better day too. Cheers to endless better days!

I'm in a BAD mood!

I'm in a very BAD MOOD! Don't ask me why.. I'm just in a foul mood.

It might be because:

1) Mummy and Brother's out for a good dinner tonight, but i'm stuck here with some damn theories
2) Daddy's out with colleagues for a game of badminton, but i'm stuck here with some damn theories
3) Two nights without sleep for damn reports, but i'm still stuck here with some damn theories
4) I should be in high spirits because school has officially ended for this semester for us, but i'm still stuck here with some damn theories
5) I wana go swimming, cycling, shopping, and singing, but I"M STILL STUCK HERE WITH SOME DAMN THEORIES!

Enough!!!!!

Fcuk!

You get it..

Til Then Folks... NO Cheers.. :<

A tree just sacrificed itself in order for me to get 20 marks(or less) for just a module.

All the printing had caused my dear printer to vomit blood so many times that it has run out of blood.

Type type type, print print print, bind bind bind...

Have you ever wondered how many trees have been chopped just for our assignment and projects alone? I dare not imagine.

A practical world that is...


I won't be surprised if one day all lands become barren lands when all trees are all chopped down, we're on the way anyway. Humans... Then again, who am I to say we're wasting resources when I myself is doing the same things? Bleargh...

Anyway, i came across some pictures of gorgeous golden retrievers and decided to brighten your day, or rather, my day although it's evening now...

Oh yes, i guess i dont have to circle the picture of the dog and inform you that "This is a dog." Do I?







Simply gorgeous aren't they?

Til then folks..Cheers to a few more days of studying til the holidays..WooHoo!~
