Awaiting 24th April eagerly

Stupid me

so stupid so stupid!!

How could I forget and mistaken the dateline for my e-learning assignment for AAE102?

It's not that I did my work last minute. I actually finished my work 1 month before the dateline.

How my tutor accepts my email and explanation.

Worried now.

End of term break!

Hey once again before anyone renders this blog dead, I shall blog!

Assignments go by the stack! It's absolutely crazy. Oh well at least I am done with AAE102 reflection and 103 assignment for now. Shall slack off this weekend. Or maybe not.

Gonna play my game. War this weekend, but game has too many changes. Friends leaving due to stupid management. Hope they do something about this. At least I am level 172 now. 18 more levels to cap.

In a turn of the eye (please convert to Chinese), it's Monday and the term break (was there even one?) is over!

Looking forward to April 24th.

Go go Marie go!

Oh by the way, meet the spartans is a damn lame show. Watch it as your own risk!

He's a poet, no doubt!

He's a poet! Who am I referring to?

Read this



Guess when was this done?

Valentine's day.

Where was this done?

Newpaper (among the other thousands of dedications printed on 26 pages altogether)

Yup, he's a poet alright.

Cheesy maybe.

But sweet.

Thanks laogong! And erm yah, sorry, no valentine's day gift for you. Don't know what to get. Haha!

Happy Lunar New Yr!

To my dear TYX

I have resurrected my blog! =x

Recently to me, nothing much to blog about. It is basically about school and school and even more school. Projects are piling up and all that yada yada yada. After 4 weeks, I am still hating the modules I'm taking this semester. Really horrible.

And of course, not forgetting my game. Finally 157! Got my LPs already. Yippie! 3 levels more to 4 chain. Wonder when again will I have the time.

It's Chinese New Year once again! Not much mood this year. Rather quiet, although the reunion dinner is at my place. Didn't really go shopping either. It's like there's nothing much to buy.

What else should I blog about? I don't know.

Oh ya, one final thing before I forget.

Laogong in case you start asking why I didn't mention you in my blog again, here it is. Hi laogong! There you go. Hee Hee Hee

Coincidences...

I'm back (again) after a long disappearance. School has started. Honestly, school sucks. Boring modules are a turn off already, but I can accept those because I cannot expect every module to be my cup of tea. What adds to the negativity is the horrible timetable. A total of 6 hours of break on Monday, 4 hours on Wednesday (which is why I am in the school library updating my blog now) and 5 hours on Friday. Imagine the amount of time wasted. If I could rearrange my own timetable, I bet I can arrange it in such a way that I have 2 fully packed days and 3 days off! Why does NIE have to give us such timetables? Grrrrrrr. Guess I shall just make use of these time to do my assignments, readings and studying.

Well, studies aside, the biggest satisfaction I had for this holidays is that my online game, I am now a 3-chainer, if you know what it means. I am now level 130! Yippie. Was doing the Tian Xia quest until 1.30am with SMC and I have not done it yet. Will continue tomorrow. Should finish by then.

It has been a very coincidental week for me. On the 28th december 2007, I met Elizabeth for dinner at Sakae Sushi. There, saw 2 secondary school friends - Xin Tian and Germaine. Talked to them for a while. On the 5th Jan 2008, my friend, Deborah got married. Congratulations Deborah! At the wedding, I saw 3 secondary school friends - Xin Tian, Mon Ting & Kok Leong. Small world! They were Deborah's primary school friends. Not only that I met Ronny, my SP Choir junior who is her nephew (which I forgot) and Teng Yong also from SP Food Tech, but knew her as they were studying Advance Dip together. On Monday during my 4 hour break, I saw 2 secondary school friends again too. Wei Xin, my sec 1 and 2 classmate, who is at her final year studying mechanical engineering at NTU and Ting Hwee, my CTSS Choir junior, studying Bioscience, I think. Evening, when was at Jurong Point with Shu Xin and Sylvia, I met my Godparents there. Been bumping into so many people!

Shall try to get some readings done now. Signing off now.

Merry Christmas and Happy 22nd Birthday to me!

Disclaimer: Warning. Long post due to a long period of MIAness. Lots of backdating.

Ho Ho Ho!

Merry Christmas.

Had a 4 part celebration this year, though I am only turning 22. Out of my teens and into the 20s. I feel it is a good age and the age where one matures. I am not complaining of hitting the 20s range, in fact, I feel good. It's all in the mind. Right?

Part 1 of the Celebration started on the 19th December 2007, Wednesday.

After piano class, the plan was to meet Yanxin for some shopping at Jurong East and IMM. Rainy rainy day, but we met nonetheless with Ting Jie. Shopped shopped shopped and was supposed to meet laogong for dinner. He said it would just be the 2 of us and that none of his family members are invited for it. Somehow sensed that it would be a trick, but decided not to probe into it too much as I know that when laogong says something, he wouldn't change his stand and let the cat out of the bag. So after some walking, I called laogong because I didn't know whether to follow tyx and ting jie to jurong point to meet tyl. Waited for an hour, and called a few times but he didn't answer. The nerve of him. When he finally called back, he said he was still at work and to join his sisters for dinner instead. Was of course disappointed but had to understand that he has his work to do. And that was when the whole scam unfolded.

The 2 girls, said to wait for tyl outside so I followed. Then I saw the awful blue car coming in. I was stunned. When the car stopped, I saw 3 people in the car. Laogong, tyl and laogong's mum. They all pushed me into the car and we started to head to our destination, which I apparently am not supposed to know. But knowing how bad laogong's sense of direction is and gathering hints from him, I figured out we were going to International Road/Cooperation Road for some Thai food. Laogong's mum let the cat out of the bag. Nevertheless after some misturns, we got there and gobbled the food down, real fast.

Was told that they didn't buy a cake for me, but I was totally alright with it. Wasn't expecting it anyway. But when laogong's mum did some really exaggerating actions, and when tyl asked a question which I found rather interesting, I figured that they did buy a cake after all. In the end, we went to Chinese Garden and cut the cake.

Laogong bought me a bouquet of lilies. Lovely! Thanks laogong for planning this lovely scam evening. Muack! I love you.


Part 2 of the celebration was on 20th December, Thursday.

11pm, fetched CF. 11.15pm fetched Gab. 11.45pm, reached Liang Seah St. Met up with sizz, qq, qq bro, mhd, vincent, riven for steamboat at Liang Seah St. In case you are wondering who they are, well, they are my game friends. It was my treat to them because everyone of them have been really good to me in game. After eating a late dinner / supper, we headed to partyworld at orchard for some karaoke. It was so fun. The 10 of us. We talked, sang, drank before finally returning home at 5am. Totally drained, plus I was down with the flu that day.


Part 3 of the celebration was on 24th December, Monday. CHRISTMAS EVE!!

Nothing much actually. Just that laogong stayed over. Brother's gf baked a log cake. Tasted good and they sang me a birthday song and I cut the cake. We played monopoly till like 3.30am, which I think I didn't fare that badly.

Because in game, smc's relic was taken and we needed it back, raided it back at 5am, but failed. Managed only to catch a few hours of sleep before I had to start preparing for Christmas day's parties.


Part 4 of the celebration. 25th December, Tuesday. CHRISTMAS DAY!! MY 22nd BIRTHDAY!

Morning was filled with the shouts from young ones, the chattering of all my aunties and the buzzling of the tv and yada-yada-yada. When they finally left, it was peaceful, for a while.

Evening crowd slowly streamed in. Thanks to Sultanah, Twinnie, Reza, Wesley, Laogong, Yanxin and laogong's mum for making it. Initially we thought that it would be a quiet christmas, but we realized that we were wrong. Many people and it was fun after all.

Sultanah is so cute! I only expected one pair of earrings for my birthday. But she bought me 10 and I heard from twinnie that she had wanted to get me 22 pairs. Wow. Thanks a lot girl! 10 pairs must have cost you quite a bit too. It was so great meeting you again.

Twinniex. Thanks for the handbag (which is VERY useful) and the nails. Love it! You just know me too well.

Joyce (cousin). Thanks for the manicure set. I initially wanted to buy 1 set for you too, but I didn't know that you'll be coming so I didn't prepare anything for you.

Lots of words but so much more to update. Dad gave me an ang pow of $200 and mum gave $100 for my birthday and christmas. Wow! Must spend wisely, especially since now I resigned from my part time job.

Coincidentally, my game friend, Kee has also the same birthday as me!

Oh and I want to thank 2 people.

Laogong for trying his best to make it up to me and as he is busy with his work and yet want to help make my birthday memorable. Muackz!

Twinnie for accompanying me shopping, buying this and that. Coming to my place to help me peel the prawns and lots lots. Bought for my brother a belt from Spade, which was too big and he has to bring it back to have it adjusted. Bought for laogong a belt too and dad a white long sleeved shirt. Made for mum a name sticker. Won't be able to settle these gifts if not for Twinniex going shopping with me.

... coping from twinnie's blog...
The reindeers have ran past. Another 365 more days before I turn 23.

Oh yes! Before I forget, an update on my exam results.
AAE101 B+
AAE104 A
AAE201 B- ...sigh
AAE202 A ...AMAZED
AED105 B
AED232 B+

GPA: 4.13

My comments. Some were expected while others totally unexpected. Guess that it is not too bad. Although the first class honours is kind of out of sight now, I can still aim for 2nd upper. Am happy, I guess.

11 days of Christmas left. Enjoy the rest of this Christmas!

Till my next update ....






when I feel like it

Bruises...

Decided to post 3 pictures.

First is the bruise from the blood test. Not that clear though, but those who saw my arm, will agree that it is indeed bad. This was taken a few days back. It has since grown a little bigger.



Second is a bruise I got a few weeks ago, for no apparent reason, or for one that I can't think of. I seem so be getting so many bruises. I have one more on my finger because I knocked against the door while teaching music on Sunday. It was so darn painful. Careless me.



Third is a picture of the landscape mum and I took hours and hours to build, under our Christmas tree. For better effects, please come to my house to look at it. Haha.



Oh and a good news is... I have finally chained in game! Well for my non-gamer friends out there, chain means level 101, whereby you can execute 2 or more powers quickly and successfully.

Having a clan gathering this Thursday at 11.30pm at Liang Seah St. for steamboat supper. Then off to a friend's mum's pub for some ktv, I guess. A birthday celebration for me. Yeah! Looking forward.

Laogong also booked a place for dinner on Wednesday night. Sounds interesting. And he's so secretive. Looking forward too.

Next Tuesday is already Christmas and I can't believe I'll be 22. Oh WOW! Looking forward too I guess. Though not many people are coming this year because Dad's cousin's daughter or someone getting married, so some relatives are attending the wedding dinner, while some chose to come for the Christmas gathering at my house than the dinner. Thanks to those friends who said that they will come. Basically only 2 or 3. Sultanah and Twinnie and her bf. The rest no respond or just turned down. A little sad, but at least I know who really are my besties.
