Yesterday was our badminton session! It was held in Hougang Sports hall!
The meeting time was supposed to be 9:30am @ Hougang MRT Station. Expecting them to be late, I met Meiyin to borrow her racket.
I arrived at the station at about 9:45am. I was late... as usual... but I was the earliest!! hee.... Nini was the latest... Azlin was waiting for us at the sports hall...
We started sweating at about 10+++. We booked the court for only 2hours but we played for about 3hours! Nobody was there to chase us away. Huiwen left early. The rest of us went to Hougang Mall for lunch. After that, Nini went to my place to bathe shun bian throw her racket @ my place... -.-'
We went to PS for movie! Little Brother... It was a very touching movie!! Again, I heard a guy crying in the cinema... =P
We waited for Xing to come... I'm still wondering... Did Nini went to take pic with *ahem* after we left? hmmmm.... =P
~*~*~*

Hmmm...
According to my schedule, I have Abacus and Chinatown dinner...
As usual, I start my day with Mei Hua... haha... I have to keep her awake... if not, she'll miss the stop! haha... =P
We alighted @ Tanjong Pagar to meet the rest. When we're about to leave, I saw someone that looked familiar... I didn't bother to say hi because he don't seem to know me... So... It's either we know each other but he didn't see me, or we don't know each other at all... Hmmm... It's a mystery...
Abacus lesson...
It was... *yawnz* I ended up taking pics and playing internet pool with Rebecca... hee...
When we're preparing for the test, I was like... "Oh, shucks!" Nothing seems to be right! There's always error. During the test, I asked Rebecca how to do... hee... =P
After the lesson, we (Huiwen, MeiHua, Nini, Xiusi, Zany and I) went to Chinatown for dinner. Huiwen and Zany didn't join us for dinner... It was raining!! We had a hard time choosing a seat and getting our food.
We filled our table with food! There's Wu Xiang and beehoon, Popiah, Rojak, Satay, TangYuan and dessert. Those that walked pass us kept looking at our table! Throughout the meal, we're laughing!! In the end, we couldn't finish our food! =P

After the NKF incident, people are becoming negative about charity. Students who were selling flags had unpleasant experiences. Has people lost faith in charity?
I remember I was scolded by this uncle when I was selling flag for the President's Star Charity or something... Desmond had a taste of his medicine first. I just happened to turn to that uncle when he vent his anger on me! I didn't open my mouth... I didn't say anything... I was scolded by him for all the stupid excuses he gave for not donating. I wanted to say, "uncle, I never force you to donate leh..."
At first, I didn't respond to what he had to say. He kept saying that the government is very rich. Why should we still collect donation from the public. But the more he said the more frustrated I am. In the end, I found myself shooting back...
Throughout, Desmond was laughing behind us... Nini was laughing also!! -.- Dunno how to come and save me one...

"He cute meh? I think Sebas is cuter leh..." My mom commented... -.- haha...
Haiyoh... Different people got different looks that attract different people... =P WeiJian got the cute cute look but Sebas got more of a boy boy look... WeiJian got in... Sebas didn't... I think he's still able to do it in the future... I'm sure he'll achieve his dream...

At last... Next week is our term break! 3 cheers!
I wanna go swimming... And... And... my movie marathon!!! hee...
Monday: Abacus Training + Chinatown dinner! hee...
Tuesday: Crazy singing session with my poly family...
Wednesday: WP project discussion
Thursday: ???
Friday: ???
Maybe I shall go swimming on Thursday or Friday... (Where's my Qiu Qiu???) How should I squeeze my movie marathon in?? hmmm...
Time to clear those movies from my movie list!! hee...

I'm sure many people knows who Steven Lim is. I don't know why... but the more I see him, the more disgusted I am by his actions.
I have to admit... He's good in shaping eyebrows. I had mine done by him once. I was quite satisfied by with the results.
Since he's good in this trait, why can't he try to do well in this area and stop making a fool of himself on tv? He keeps taking off his clothes on tv. He doesn't have the body... If he really want to do it, he should at least tone up a bit mah... At least I won't vomit as much...
Maybe he should stop trying his luck on tv... Even if he's become famous, he won't last long... That's what I think...
Conclusion: He's better off triming people's eyebrow...
I apologise if I've offended anyone...

I really should stop believing in what I was told. Sometimes, I don't want to take their words... but it's hard. Whatever anyone have told me are just illusions that are too good to be true... Whatever promises they've made to me are just like bubbles that burst whenever you touched them...
I don't want to be naive... but I just can't help it...
Stop lying... please...

Kiwi cancelled his lessons again... So... the only lesson for the day is THL.
We got back our CA results. Huiwen was beside me. She was making me nervous! All I could remember was writing "breach of contract" everywhere! I was shocked when I saw my marks! I didn't expect to get that kinda marks... =P
After lessons, Xiusi and I went swimming @ Jurong East Swimming Complex! Actually I was planning to swim alone... I mamaged to 'force' Xiusi to swim with me... So... hee...
While waiting for her to get her stuff, I walked around the area(Chinese Garden). I saw a few shops doing the same buisness. It was some electronic treatment thingy. Dunno what's that... When I peeped in, I saw quite a few elderly in there.
The overhead bridge there's very dangerous!! It made clumsy me fall... *sob* haiz... I looked around to see if there's anyone around... Phew... I was alone... haha... =P
@ the swimming complex...
We wasted quite a few 20cent coins on the lockers!
1st: The locker was spoiled...
2nd: Forgot to put our slippers in...
3rd: Got 1 specially for slippers...
4th: Close the one that had our bags...
We couldn't play the higher slides cuz we don't hav floats... Sadded... Last time don't need floats leh... I think...
We went to the pool for a swim... We're supposed to swim 1 lap... When I reached the other end, I saw Xiusi walking towards me... -.-' My dear Xiusi swim half a lap, got out and walked over... I forced her to swim one full lap! haha... She said I was very fierce... -.-
Tomorrow we're going cycling with Huiwen!! Long long long time never cycle le... So looking forward to tomorrow! Let's hope our dear Xiusi remembers how to cycle... *prays hard*

What should I do...?
I have a wish... Hmmm...
I want to collect TY bears again... I want to start collecting Tatty too!! I want to fill my room with stuffies!! Maybe in the future, if I have a house that belongs to me, I'll put all of them in a room that's specially designed for them to live in!! hee... I'm looking forward for such a day!! Excited!!

*hint hint*
*wish wish*
I still have my eyes on that giant tatty... I don't think I'll be able to get it...

Try this! Interesting~~~
(From an Email, Yvonne Lim Deng Li)How you get undressed reveals your personality....
- Throw your clothes all over the place
- Remove each piece of clothing and put it away carefully
- Take off the shirt, and ten minutes later get around to the pants
- Get out of your clothes as quickly as possible
- Take off your rings, earrings, necklace, watch, etcetera before anything else
- Don't have an undressing routine
Answers:
- If you throw your clothes all over the place, you are a friendly, life-of-the-party type. You are free with your thoughts and opinions, not caring much about what others think of you. Your parents might think your room looks like a cyclone hit it? but it actually represents your happy, individualistic nature!
- If you remove each piece of clothing and put it away carefully, you are a erious person who likes her life to be very calm. You are comfortable with routine, and you believe that the best way to deal with life's problems is to prevent them in the first place. You are a perfectionist. By nature you are quite shy. You are observant and you know more about some people than they think, just because you've watched them. You are dependable and sometimes intense. You think carefully before making decisions. You go about your tasks methodically, with concentration. You know how to pay attention.
- If you take off the shirt, and ten minutes later get around to the pants, you are an extremely self-confident person. You are naturally bright and intellectual. You are also a deep thinker who loves to ask questions and ponder the meaning of things. You hate being rushed and you do not like to be hassled. Usually you like a lot of free time for yourself.
- If you get out of your clothes as quickly as possible, you are concerned about others and what they expect from you, but you're worried about your own needs. You are family-oriented, and stay extremely busy. You often feel stressed, but most of those heavy expectations come from your own head! Give yourself a break; you don't have to be perfect.
- If you take off your rings, earrings, necklace, watch, etcetera before anything else, you are a warm and sensitive person. You are considerate and thoughtful, and you give good advice to your friends. You are a natural born romantic.
- If you don't have an undressing routine and you never do it the same way twice, you are a very curious and interesting person. You enjoy a broad range of activities. You take risks and enjoy fun and adventure. You are very social.

THL CA... As expected, I wrote lots of "breach of contract". Overall, it was quite ok... except for the last question... I did it all wrong... haiz... Hope I'll get some marks for the rubbish I wrote.
I was forced to strip!! So KeLian...
Me and Wen
We started taking lots of picture at the best location available... at the toilet's door... -.-'
After being tortured for TAM tut, I went to PS to meet Shan to watch Initial D. (at last!!)
We went up to get the tickets and got ourselves popcorn and nachos. We bought our food too early! We still had quite some time before we could go in. So... We went to the arcade.
Initial D...
Woosh! Edison!! hee... At some parts, I find Jay funny. but... The expression he had when he's angry and the expression he had when he's happy seems the same leh... (-.-)
When it was the most exciting part, there was a cry from the back!! Idiot leh... Spoilt the whole show...
"I don't want!! I want to watch!!"
"I beat you ah!!"
"F*** OFF!!"
"I'm seventeen you know!!"
What the hell!! You 17 I 19 leh. People are enjoying the show and she's there screaming! Many were shh-ing at her. Some yelled at her, "shut up lah!!" Another "tiam lah!"Everyone were so damned pissed by her. When she left the cinema at last (but the exciting part was ending...) everyone cheered and clapped!! haha...
When the show ended and we left the cinema, we saw that girl again. She went to the toilet. Shan said she wanna go toilet... When she went in, she said the crazy girl was inside also. As typical KPO Singaporeans, I went in too... I stood at the mirror pretending to wash my hands, etc... She was in the cubicle screaming and hitting whatever that's in the toilet.
I kept hearing 2 voices!! Shan too!! Scary...
We walked around PS... I was looking for a bracelet but The One hasn't appeared in front of my eyes. Shall keep on a lookout... hee...
What makes them think I can go for the modelling thingy? =x haiz... whatever...
We went to Heeren... I got my jeans from there... at last... We took neoprints....
Tml's another new day... I wanna go for a swim!! Where's my QiuQiu???

Tomorrow's THL CA!!! Time flies... It's our last paper!! haiz...
I haven't been studying for the CAs... I did study but I didn't glue myself to the chair. I wonder where all the self discipline went to... haiz... I've only read through THL notes. I can predict what I'll write for the answers! "Breach of contract" will be the main character. I may be able to bluff my way through... hee...
Gonna watch tv le... I think I shouldn't expect too much for these CAs but I know I'll regret for not studying when I have a chance to. The only thing I can and I want to do now is pray.
God please help me! =P
Wish us luck!

THL CA is round the corner. Nini and I pon THL Tut to study for the CA. I wanted to have a look at the Samsung MP3 players so I asked her to think of a place where there's electronic store and we could study. She suggested Bugis.
We walked around Bugis. I bought lotion and a useless blotter. I have an evil thought of giving it to my dear bro... Should I? hee.. What a good sis am I...
We went up to see the MP3 players. TVs these days are getting bigger and flatter... We saw a bear. I was curious and went to touch the head. Nini went to press a button on it's palm. We realised that it's a radio bear! So cute!! I wanna have it also!! hee...
I got a shock when I touched a duckie and it started dancing! Nini laughed at me!! Stupid...
We tried to find our way to the library. When we're there, there was a banner saying that it will be opened on 22 July 2005! haiz... We continued walking... I told her Raffles Hotel was just ahead. She pointed the other direction and insisted that it's not. When we're closer, I pointed the words "Raffles Hotel" to her. Then, she said,"Oh... That one is Raffles hospital!" -.-' Hotels and hospitals look so different and dear Nini can mix them up! =D
We had some snacks at Rocky Master. The pie was woosh! Delicious! We went to explore Raffles Hotel with our full stomach. Can I stay a night there? hee...
We went to Raffles City... I had to collect those things for tailoring... We went to this shop beside Robinsons that sells unique stuff... I got a bottle opener there! hee... It's plain looking... It was the last piece. I didn't really want it when I heard it was the last piece because there were some scratches on it. I asked if they could help me get rid of them. They made them disappear!! hee... so... I bought it for $7.20. Ok lah... =P
We went home feeling guilty. We didn't study at all... haiz..

Eve had complementary tickets to this musical called The Admiral Odyssey. I was thinking... maybe I could spare a few hours for this... So... I agreed. We arranged to meet at Cityhall at 1:30pm.
I reached there on time but I had to make a trip to RC first. When I was there, it was kinda hard for me to leave. Why? You've gotta ask ZhiYi and Nurul. haha... I wanted to leave after I left the things there but ZhiYi stopped me. Then Nurul came. We started chatting. hee... This ZhiYi still said, "Late nevermind lah... Anyways... You're always late de..." -.-' Sometimes I'm punctual hor... *sob* Nurul, ZhiYi, next time I go there, I'll remember to bring some chocs... Today I really wanted to bring... but I really forgot... =P hee...
After I managed to 'escape' from RC, I went down to the MRT to meet the others. Only Pgek was there. We went to Mrs Fields to get some food. Ohhh... The guy who served me was quite cute! hee... =P
Xing appeared only after I banked my money in. It was pouring like hell when we're about to walk over to Raffles Hotel! It's almost impossible to run across. I wanted to borrow umbrella but it seems troublesome. Oh... TianTian seems to put on weight... Or am I wrong? hmmm...
When we're about to run across, the rain wasn't as heavy. No fun le... haiz...
At Jubilee Hall...
When we meet Eve, we learned that our seats were all separated. But we managed to sit together in pairs... We didn't sit according to our allocated seats.. hee... Xing and I sat right in front. 3rd row! I had a very clear view.
The show was quite nice. Some parts were funny... Some were sad...
After the movie, we walked around and I went to Yishun to study. I kinda force Nini to study with me... hee... =P
Tml no CM lect!! Yeah! But during our 2hours break, we, the Meet-the-Parents committee (haha.. sounds so big...), must go do the whatever brochures thingy... haiz...

Why is it always the daughter's fault? Why is it NEVER the son's fault? Why am I always blamed for the slightest thing? Don't you know that your jokes are not funny at all? They are VERY HURTING! Do you spare a thought when you open that mouth of yours? You're so self-centred. I'm not born into this world for you to put all your blames on. I'm a human. I have feelings...

Let's start with Thursday...
10:00 TAM CA
It was a disaster. I think I made a lot of mistakes. I was hoping to get at least 75% but now, I'm just wishing for 50%...
13:00 TAM Presentation
It was like a last minute preparation. I forgot to bring the stack of brochures we took. *sob* We drew out the layout of the outlet. It looks untidy... what to do... last minute work... I prepared my speech while the first group was presenting. Throughout that group's presentation, we (MeiHua, XiuSi, Nini and me) were all laughing about what we're gonna say especially on how differently we're treated. Then, it was our turn. It was the first time I managed to pour out so much rubbish! hee... MeiHua was beside me to help when we're talking about our experience at the travel agency. It was quite a smooth one.
15:00 FM Revision
We studied for FM like there's no tomorrow.
17:00 Pack up
We started to pack up and headed to T2154 (our CA venue)
17:15 FM CA1
CA started. I tried to do what I could. I was stuck at some questions... As usual, I skipped those questions. The paper was quite ok.
Friday...
We got back our WP CA1 results. I passed! Phew... but it wasn't a good pass. It was an open book test but I had that kinda results... Maybe I wasn't feeling well on that day. I know I'm giving myself excuses again but I needa console myself... Right? Michelle thought I would get quite high marks for the HTML part. Hmmm... Those HTML codes are like greek to me especially the tables part. Java would be worse... luckily we're not going to do that. Phew! Our WP report... haha... We got 5/10 for creativity! The rest got so much higher... -.-'
Yesterday, I was looking for a home based job. Sent out quite a few resumes got a few replies. I haven't give them my reply. I don't know if I have the commitment to do it or not... especially with the load of projects that are about to come. Should I take up the job? haiz...
Looking forward to end of next week! =)

My hate for her is getting stronger. 'Hate' is a strong word but I can't find other words to replace it. Her every action feels so fake. Her actions sometimes disgust me. Her attitude towards me pissed me.
Went to Raffles City to get the tailoring stuff. Wow! There was a crowd there! Police were everywhere! ZhiYi will be super happy if she's there today... I wondered what was going on... It was the Olympics thingy. Everyone there was waiting for the results.
Saw Tony and Auntie Audrey and Nurul! Miss them so much. Nurul said she miss me too! ZhiYi, you jealous? haha... =P I was choked by my saliva when I saw 'him'. -.-
Tests tomorrow... Wish us luck!

Who am I? Where am I? Which is me? I'm getting confused soon...
Is there such thing that can make me forget about everything? I just want to forget every memory... whether they are good or bad... I want everything out of my head. I want to stop thinking... Day by day... I've been lying to myself... How long can I continue?
They are so distant... drifting further and further. I feel so invisible. Is it them? Or am I the one who's walking away? Maybe it's me. It's always my fault... A fact that has been proven right so many times...

TwinsTwo girls, like each others mirror
Only with different heart
But you can not tell us appart
Which one of them am I?
One of us is optimistic
Smiling and looking forward
To what life has to offer
Don't you dare to cross her path
She makes jokes and plays around
Life is her playground
Strong and powerfull at will
Always there to cheer up a friend
Other one is silent and closed inside
Always doubting everything in this life
Scared that she is not strong enought
And everything will fall appart.
But when someone whiped her tears
She shines gratefully and grants a small smile
Always listening to others and caring
As for het own sisters and brothers
Two girls, like a mirror
Holding hands, waiting for the answer
So, tell me..
Which one of them am I?

What am I good in? I realised I wasn't good in anything. The pat my bro gave my head made me realise that.
I'm not a good daughter.
I'm not a good sister.
I'm not a good cousin.
I'm not a good niece.
I'm not a good granddaughter.
I'm not a good gf.
I'm not a good friend.
I'm not a good helper.
I'm not a good student. (definitely!)
Why am I so useless? I guess I can never get the answer...

Early in the morning... I almost had a heart attack! My heart is still beating just as fast.
They went out leaving the door open as usual. I wonder how many times I've told them to close the door behind them. Seems like they don't understand my language. I hate it when passerby looked into our house... though I like to peep into people's house when I walk pass... =P but I just don't like the feeling of being watched! This is the result of living on the ground floor...
Just now, the cat came in again!! My dad put a 'net' at the bottom of the gate so it won't come in.
I went to close the door when I heard a familiar sound and saw it running out from the store! The next moment, it was out of the house. Swift movement. Luckily it was still around the door. If it went up, it'll sure go to my room again!! I wonder why... Maybe my room has a sweet smell? haha... =P
Conclusion... Cats can jump quite high. The net seems to serve no use.
But...
Question... Was its aiming so accurate? It didn't knock its head against the gate? hmmm...

This is one of the few times I read the papers and I encounter this article in the forum section...
Giving to Charity is like gambling
As I watched the advertising run-up to the NKF Cancer Show, I wondered about the debths to which our society has fallen.
It is a troubling sign of the times that charity commercial focus so much on the great prizes to be won by dailing in one's donations. Every time I turn on my television set I see MediaCorp actors gushing about the amazing deals they got by dailing the donation hotline. Has society fallen so low that we must resort to appealing to people's greed rather than tugging at their heartstrings? We no longer give out genuine care and concern, but out of greed. The numerous charity shows held on TV all year round seem no better than gambling. Indeed, if you think about it, calling in to these shows is actually a form of gambling. If I buy 4-D, I pay a sum of money in the hope of winning a bigger prize. During the charity shows, I also pay a sum of money in the hope of winning a bigger prize. It is possible to argue that where charities are concerned, I am giving to a good cause. But do I not also give to a good cause when I gamble? My money goes to Singapore Pools, which finances worthy causes.If we have to resort to prizes to get donations, perhaps this is a clear indication that Singaporeans' capacity to give has reached its limit. Joel Lian WenJie(ST Saturday, July2 2005)Do you agree with this person? I agree. Without those attractive prizes, I think the number of people who are willing to call the hotline will decrease. There are some who are really willing to donate, but many others call the hotline because of the possibility of getting those prizes. Some advertisments emphasise on the prizes that can be won if you call the hotline. It seems that they're luring people to donate to stand a chance to win those prizes and not donating for a good cause.

Today, I woke up feeling guilty. I may study if I stay at home... but most probably, I'll end up sleeping. I may lose some PM marks if I don't go. After thinking, I decided to go for the talk.
There was some problem with the NEL which made me late for lesson! haiz... After lessons, I went home for lunch. I promised to go back for lunch today. After lunch, I packed my bag and left for Pacific. It's been a long time since I went there to study... I didn't reach there on time as expected... I didn't have the mood to study... Die le lah...
