Mixed emotions today, 22nd July 2008.
The teacher allowed me to leave his class early at 3pm (yay) and I rushed to take a cab and reached Changi Airport Terminal 2 by 3.20pm. This morning I received sms from my friend, Sharon, saying that she can't come out after all. I was like "What..." Proves that anything can happen in the last minute.
But I still went there all the same, meeting up with the rest of them at Swensens. Glad that I did not change my mind, she came out in the end! Said that she asked the guard to let her come out, haha. We passed her the presents and left for T3 for her departure. Took pictures and finally, she checked in. The girls were crying, including me. It's hard not to cry on an occasion like this. Well, we asked her to take pictures there and remembered to give us her address.
On one hand, I'm really glad that I manage to go in the end, on the other, it's really sad to see her go. One thing for sure is, I went or I'll regret my decision for a very long time.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
On Monday, it's CSA web page presentation. Seemed that my group was the most "formal" in the whole class... We were the 1st group to present and I think it went quite well. The teacher asked quite a lot of questions. Our web page looks really nice, even if I say so myself. Very professional, all thanks to the guys who are IT pros. http://csa.alphonse.info/
Accounting test at night was alright. Managed to finish it at the last minute. The lecture hall was very cold and my hands were frozen. I think I remembered all the format...
=) Till next time~

Dilemma
My close friend will be leaving for USA this Tuesday and I, most unfortunately, can't go and send her off... Time is just not on my side.
My Micro Econs class starts at 2pm and usually ends at 3.15pm. She is out from 3-4pm before checking in. By the time I leave the class, take a cab and reach the airport, she would have gone in.
My father told me to tell the teacher whether I can leave early, say 3pm. Well, I emailed him, if he don't approve, that's that then. I don't think the outcome would be any good, I thought it over, even leaving at 3pm, won't get me anywhere...
In my heart, I already know how bleak that chance will be. Furthermore, I'm not that kind of person who will skip class...That can be a good thing as well as a bad thing. When situations like this happen, I'll be trapped and end up on the loosing side.
I'm really in a dilemma. There's one way that I can guarantee will work. That's to get ill and get a MC on Tuesday. But that chance is almost zero... Guess I'll just let nature takes its course...
Chances of going is 0.01%

Rantings, Part 1
4 words: Don't like, Don't read
I was contemplating whether to post this entry and decided to go along with it since this is suppose to be my blog.
I. Badly. Need. A. Holiday, period. I'm sick, literally, and tired.
I'll be more than grateful to just have a day of break from the hectic life. But it's hardly possible now, unless miraculously, I fall ill (on a day without presentation or test). I'll get a MC and enjoy 1 or 2 days of utter peace and quiet.
Projects revolved around us...Now that the due dates are almost up, the workload is a little lighter now. Still, things get piled up and exams are nearly upon us...
There are just too many unhappy things that I can't write down here, yes, not even in the virtual world. It's like back to the same old dark days. I thought things would change for the better but it seems to just get worst...
Some things keep me sane like the soon-to-be released Breaking Dawn. I don't know what I'll be without books...
These few weeks had been tough for me. I don't get enough sleep and in turn doze off "everywhere" (during bus rides, during lectures, during tutorials). It a vicious cycle repeating itself. My body suffers and my mood just got worst and worst. I don't even feel like dealing with people anymore...I feel like crying, apparently for no reason at all.
Regardless of all these, I'm not regretting my choice, yet. I was thinking long-term when I made 'the choice'. If it will help me in the future, I don't mind what I'm going through now.
It's an emotion roller-coaster ride.
Till next time

Updates
Yesterday, my family went to Tampines Mall. My class will be having project presentations soon so I need to buy some formal wear and covered shoes. Isetan was having a Hokkaido Fair, really brings back great memories for the family. No regrets going to Hokkaido ever.
Isetan is only 2 storeys high and there was nothing much in there. Formal wear can't be found...
A pair of shoes caught my eyes though, size 7 was too big for me and size 6.5 and 6 was out of stock.
I just realise that open toes shoes is in season. The normally patronised Charles & Keith has a variety of these heels. Some looks really great but it not suitable for me, yet. Wish we do not need to wear covered shoes...honestly, how many office workers wear formal (long sleeved blouse and skirt/pants) to work? As long as a person is dressed in decent clothes, I don't see a problem in that.
Oh well, left 1 more weekend to shop. I have a problem, I'm going to blush, badly, in front of the class during presentation...

Stephenie Meyer's greatest creation
--The most anticipated novel since Harry Potter--
I just found out that Twilight the movie would start in Singapore on Christmas Day! 25th December 2008 is indeed a special day. I don't know if it had been confirm but at least the release date is not too far from that in USA (12th Dec). How fortunate that my friend will be in US by that time... I will certainly catch the movie, be it good or bad.
Breaking Dawn is scheduled to release in 2nd August! Though, I'm not too sure if that will be the case in Singapore. I hope that on 2nd August which, thank goodness, is a Saturday, I will get the novel. I must get it, I'll go down to Borders at Orchard Road just for it.
I wanted to pre-order it just in case it runs out of stock...You never know...
Well, this year is not so bad after all, what with all my favourite things happening around me. By August, my life will be great.

Pictures of vacation @ Genting 2008
Room with a viewTaken from the balcony
Presenting: Our new houses with our cars.
Presenting: Our new houses with our cars. Vacation at Genting 2008
Packed up and left home around the afternoon. Met relatives at the petrol station near Tuas area.
The 11 of us travelled to Malaysia in 2 cars. Since it was a Tuesday, there was not many cars at Tuas. It was a smooth journey. We would be staying at Genting View Resort which is located at the bottom of Genting. It was nearly 3 hours before reaching there. On the way, we had a late lunch at KFC at a R&R.
When we 1st saw the place, I was thinking "Oh my God..." My cousins were all having the same thought. The apartment block we saw was liked a set from a horror movie. It was so run-down that it gave us the creeps.
But, luckily, we were not staying there. We stayed at RiverView Apartment which was a series of terrace houses or bungalows, whichever you want to call it. It was big, well, too big for our taste.
My family of 5 and my auntie stayed in one, while the rest of them stayed in another. There were 3 bedrooms in each bungalow. But, my brothers squeezed into the massive master-bedroom with my parents and I shared a room with my auntie.
Next door, only the master bedroom was occupied. After we put our luggage down, we left for the mountain top. We missed the cable car station so we drove all the way up. We had noodles for dinner and walked around a bit. It got me thinking, I don't want Singapore IR at Sentosa to become like this.
Funny enough, not many Singaporeans can be seen. Maybe it's near the end of holiday. The adults went for some Chinese herbal jelly while the young ones went for ice-cream at Baskin Robbins. I had a green apple sorbet with mint ice-cream. Quite nice, minty and sourly.
The next day, we left in the morning for Genting. We ate roti prata for breakfast. As we thought that the prata will be small in size, we ordered more than 10 pieces. But the prata was huge, at least twice the size like that in Singapore's. Hence, we did not finished all. After that, the "children" went to the outdoor amusement park while the adults and I went shopping. I bought 2 tops from Padini Concept Store. After a while, the "children" returned due to the rain. When the rain stopped, they went out again. We then went for a 1 hour foot massage. Before long, they returned once more. We had afternoon tea at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaves. I had a Swedish Berries ice tea and a slice of chocolate fudge cake. We walked around and had clay pot rice for dinner.
We bought cup noodles back to the resort to settle our breakfast the next day.
After breakfast, we packed up and left. We stopped by the cable car station and bought many tidbits home. We dined at KFC at the same R&R again.

Summary of 1st week of holiday
For the past week, I've been really busy, busy to go out and have fun.
On Monday, my sec 4 class organised a BBQ at Pasir Ris Park. And, my friend, Sharon, came back from Indonesia to attend.
On Tuesday, my family went out to watch Kung Fu Panda. It was really funny and all.
On Wednesday, the cousins and I, together with my auntie went to Sentosa. There were lots of new things to try out there. In the evening, we went to Earle's Swensens at VivoCity to celebrate my cousin's birthday. Unfortunately, we went to Fort Siloso and I ended up not sleeping and crying that night...
Thursday and Friday were for doing homework. Bah, I hated the excel project we have to do. Luckily, I had a "secret weapon". Truth be told, I did not really use it, most of the work are original.
On Saturday, me, Sharon, Yiling and WeiJie watched Prince Caspian. It was quite nice although not as good as the 1st. After that, WeiJie left and we had dinner. After that, we went to shop around.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems that for the past 3 Sundays, the family have been dining out at restaurants. We went to at VivoCity to celebrate a belated Mother's Day. Then to at Esplanade to commemorate the dumpling festival. Yesterday, we went to Fisherman's Wharf restaurant to celebrate Father's Day.
Bosses is great, the ambience is not what you expected when you 1st step inside.

4s3 BBQ
Monday's BBQ was fun.
We met together 1st before taking the bus 39 to Pasir Ris Interchange. There were lots of things to carry. We then took another bus to Paris Ris park which is located near Escape Theme Park. But I think we took the wrong bus, so we had to walk all the way there. That was about 5-6+.
The guys were soon playing cards. Another group arrived and the fire was started.
I don't know much about the tactics of bbqing but the food was not cooked or half-cooked. And, that was only the crab-sticks, hot dogs, fish balls, prawn balls, sotong balls and mushrooms. We had to wait for a long time before the food was properly cooked.
Me and my friend went to find a friend, Sharon, who just came back from Indonesia. She came on her own and didn't know the way to the pit. After that, we joined in the bbqing. They started bbqing the chicken wings.
At 9+, our former form teacher came.
At 10.30, we bid goodbye to everyone and took the bus home.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was great to see everyone again, although some people didn't came. I had a good time chatting with my secondary 4 friends and this was the last time I will see Sharon before she left for USA. She's a really close friend for 4 years. She says she will still come back but that will be a long time. Well, hope to meet up before she leave. My secondary 4 life is still the best, after all. Nothing can compare to that, certainly not my poly class.
Seems that not everyone is happy with their lives in poly and jc...

End of Mid-sem tests
Ok, mid-semester tests are over.
MicroEcons is alright, I can draw the graphs and answer the questions. It all depends on how I answered the questions and whether I missed out any important points.
POM was a disaster before the test. I was really stressed out as it was all about memorising. I fretted before the test. Nothing seemed to go in at all. But during the test, it was ok, to my surprise. The questions were manageable though I forgot some things. I can t least get a B+, I hope.
Monday, we, 4s3 of 2007 are going to have a bbq gathering. I hope my friend from indonesia can come back for it...Really looking forward to it.

Countdown & Mid-sem test
2 more months to the most anticipating book this year, Stephenie Meyer's Breaking Dawn! I can't wait! When the day comes, I will be rushing to Borders to get it. I saw the preface and the cover and I had a feeling that this is going to be an intense novel. twilightlexiconblog.com has been great in providing any kind of details concerning the upcoming Twilight movie and the 4th novel. Really hope that Twilight will be screened in Singapore...
Today, I had my Business Accounting test. It was...well...ok? I didn't really know how to do the balance sheet. In the end, I just left the balance sheet hanging in the air. I also didn't get my capital and cash at bank info right at the posting. At the last moment, I changed my supposedly correct concept... Ahh...
I can't get any other questions wrong. If there is, I'll be a goner.
On Wednesday, there will be MicroEcons test.
Proud to be a twilighter.

Updates
The problem for my "absence" was apparently solved. I don't know if it is true, but my teacher assured me it was done. Oh well...
Comm Skills test came and went, I think I did ok. I choose 'Internet is a wealth of knowledge. Discuss'. At first, I was shocked. I did so much research on environment and the questions that came out was not what I expected. Actually, I did not do much research in that aspect of the Internet. Much of my essay was original, written by yours truly. I heard something funny, (regarding the essay) on Thursday. It was a private joke so I'm not going to disclose it until the right time comes.
CSA excel test also past. I got 12/15. A bit disappointing as I was so careless and I had the certificate from Microsoft. I had high expectations for it.
Next week is Mid-sem tests. I must revising or I will be in trouble. And, something good is coming up, hopefully. Sec 4 BBQ gathering! Hope they find a day where the majority can make it...I really missed everyone...
Going to end here nowl

Bad things in poly
Here is a summarised version of all the bad things going on in my poly life.
Firstly, I didn't get into bowling. Apparently, they only 'accept the best'. Out of 50+ guys who went, only 6 got in. Only 2 girls out of 24 got in. Over 60 hopefuls, only 8 managed to achieve whatever standards the team wanted. I would say that the team is pretty pathetic. Over the last few days, freshmen voiced out their disappointment in the bowling blog with the bowlers countering their confrontations.
Secondly, I just found yesterday that I was marked as absent for my Comm Skills 1 class on 5th of May! Imagine how I feel when I saw that...What nonsense is that? I'm not that kind of person who will skip class, ever. God, I felt so injustice. There must be a miscommunication. Either the teacher called my name and I didn't hear it and thus didn't put up my hand or he skipped my name...
I had evidence that I was present in his class, if he doubted my words. I did the classwork in class and my friend was just sitting next to me. Besides, I had other lessons that day. So why should I skipped his class and went for the others? Hmmm, curious...
Anyway, I'm really feeling down and depressed these days and I don't know why. Life's just not great. I thought that would change when I went to poly, but, in fact it got worst. At least in secondary school......

Happy Bday to me!
9th May:
My mother bought a cake from Four Leaves. I've been wanting to try the chocolate classico for a long time but too bad, only coco exotic was available at that time. I will put up pictures of the cake later.
It was such a long time since I had a birthday cake. The whole cake was about chocolate, it was sinful, but oh so nice.
10th May:
My birthday!!
Woke up early in the morning to get ready for the bowling trial at Tampines Safra. I was very nervous as I'm not that good in bowling. I wanted to join bowling as a CCA but first, we must go for the trial and do well. Why can't they just let those interested be a member? Why must they only accept the good ones? With some training, I don't see why those people who are not that good will remain bad...
Anyway, there seemed to be a lot of people who wanted to join, especially guys. Some of which are "professionals", with their styles and custom-made balls. I was placed in a group with 3 guys. God, it was stressful to be the only bad one among them. They scored so many strikes while I had so many gutter balls.
Something embarrassing happened to me during the 5 minutes test-run. I can't find any 8kg and 9 kg balls, so I took a 10kg one. Before I can even roll it, the ball dropped.
After 4 rounds of continuous bowling, I can't take it any more. My left hand and 3 fingers ached. That's 80 'balls' altogether.
I got a 70+ in the 1st round, 30+ in the 2nd, 40+ in the 3rd and 40+ in the 4th. I ended up with a final score of 199 and was the 2nd last among the 24 girls.
We left home for Centrepoint towards the evening. We dined at Ichiban Boshi. I really wanted to try out the red wine raspberry sorbet but it is always unavailable. After that, we went shopping.
A big thank you to all my friends who wished me, many happy returns. It really light up my day.

I got a 70+ in the 1st round, 30+ in the 2nd, 40+ in the 3rd and 40+ in the 4th. I ended up with a final score of 199 and was the 2nd last among the 24 girls.
We left home for Centrepoint towards the evening. We dined at Ichiban Boshi. I really wanted to try out the red wine raspberry sorbet but it is always unavailable. After that, we went shopping.
A big thank you to all my friends who wished me, many happy returns. It really light up my day.

2nd week of school
Classes had been boring. Classmates were alright, in a way. I don't want to elaborate. Let's just say that them and my secondary school friends are different. Of course, they are all individuals and I can't possibly compare. But, they are everything my friends are not. Blah, Blah, Blah. Those who should know, knew it by now. The point is, I missed my friends! I missed my secondary school life! I missed my class and teachers! Those good old days where we still managed to have fun in spite of the looming "O" lvls. I deeply treasured those memories.
Updates on my poly life will end here, for now. When there are happier things to put here, I will update the blog. To put it bluntly, I'm not having a merry time.
Onto lighter topics, I've been continuing reading some more light-hearted and hilarious romance novels. The little black dress books are really worth the time. I highly recommend Meg Cabot's The boy next door. Nonetheless, the other novels are just as fun.
Books I've read so far: Bad Boys down under, The Cinderella Moment, First Love, Catch me if you can, The Bachelorette party, The boy next door, Simon says and the Love academy.
Enough of my crappy stuff.
My Birthday is coming! In 6 days! Yay to 17th!
