++Great Day++

++haha... went out with angelique, erina, megan, nerissa and marie today! We went to Novena's Fish and Co to have lunch. When we were eating, there were this sort of dividers being let down and there was sort of a separation between the inside and the extended portion of the restaurant. We thought there was a guy going to propose to a lady and so, they wanted some privacy. haha... Later, when the dividers were rolled up, we realised both were guys or maybe one was a tomboy, dono... haha. Later on, we found out it was just the people trying to test some remote control thing... and we were like chey...haha. After that, we went to MPH. hahaa... it was kind of fun cos ner and i ran out of the toilet, leaving angelique inside and we sort of hid behind the shelves. Anyway, after that we went to Heerens to shop around and we went to Spinelli to have teabreak before going home. It was quite funny cos Nerissa and Angelique seemed a little high, like there's sth that they ate, especially Nerissa, she was banging the table and talking a little loud like suddenly. haha... it was super funny. ++++ Love Is In The Air ++

Empty Promises

Random. Never make empty promises. If you want to promise to do something, make sure you do it. Don't give all sorts of reasons to not do that something. I have been given many empty promises. Disappointed. I really don't know what to say but anyway, this is life. Random.

++ Love Is In The Air ++

++ House Bunny and Connected ++

++ Exams are over! YAY! So Angelique, Michelle and I went to watch 2 movies, one before lunch and one after. :D Connected was the first one we watched, er... it was quite nice, very action-packed, i would rate it 3.5/5. I think House Bunny was kind of funny, the storyline was quite predicted, like one team against another and they compete in some way and of course, it's the kind of happy ending everyone wants to see. I would rate it 3/5. ++

Pictures found from google :D

I LOVE MY APPLE!

Dear Nikki (I-pod Touch),

I am writing this letter to tell you what great friends i foresee we would become after seeing you, an Ipod Touch at http://store.apple.com/sg/ that day.

You would be my best friend, and perhaps the most special friend I would ever have. You would always by my side, singing me to school and telling me everything I want to know. You would keep me updated of the latest news with your wifi functions and helping me to remember all the important dates and events with your extremely good memory.

You would become indispensable and we would be an inseparable pair. Don’t you think so? We could do almost everything together, including jogging. I could so foresee you accompanying me through the entire period when I was training for my National A P Fitness Assessment, giving me the will to go on. Your singing would spur me on when i'm tired. Of course, i would also do my part to help you recharge when you are tired. That's what friends are for right?

When i fall asleep on the bus after a long day, the loud sounds of people talking and the engine of the bus never fails to wake me up and leave me irriated. But when we become best friends, I'm sure you would let me enter the magical world of your singing and i would feel refreshed after the nap.

I really do not know what to say, but I think you, an Ipod Touch, would make my day extremely pleasant, and keeping me alive through all the ups and downs of my daily journey. Being able to hold you in my palm would be like a dream come true. I sincerely look forward to us becoming friends.

++ Gossip Girl ++

I finally decided to update my blog. Well, I will be updating it with some events going on... Let's talk about Gossip Girl. You have the show going on, the novels being published and of course, the Gossip Girl Blog. I finished watching season one on Friday night. Not a very expected ending I must say, but with Georgina being sent away, it was good enough to end my day. Season 2 is coming out in October, which is about 4.5 months away. And of course, Gossip Girl's favourite phrase "You know you love me, XOXO Gossip Girl"

++ Love Is In The Air ++

++ TXY- sushi party ++

++ We had TXY orientation last week from 12-14 March. It was super fun but I didn’t take any photos. :D We had talks, games, and the wan hui was the best!!! Although we didn't win anything, but we enjoyed ourselves and made new friends. :D

Anyway, we had sushi party at our leader, Xin Ying’s house yesterday. I went there earlier to help out. I was helping Wen Yu with the tasting of the rice vinegar to add to the sushi and frying eggs with 400. Haha… :D so paisei, I burnt one egg accidentally… hehe... Then there was the mash potato where the guys were experimenting with. In the end the mash turned out nice:)))) Wen Yu is super good with cutting sushi, it looked so professional(the sushi in the photo below was cut by her). Then the xin yings(newbies) came from ECP with Mr Bean. We were super high then and we were playing cards in groups. We played 'stress' and yu han won like every single round except one that she played with jia qi. She was super hyper... :D eh... then we played truth or dare for 2 rounds before i went back. haha... it was really fun on the whole. ++

++ Tired Week ++

++ This week has been tiring week. Really, for some reason, I just feel sleepy, especially yesterday. 3 weeks have passed since school reopened, the class got to know each other better. We discussed some ideas for the Fiesta during common test period yesterday. I found the ideas quite interesting. Yesterday's home econs was quite ok. Haha... I din screw up like i did during the first lesson. Played table tennis during recess again.. haven't touched the bat for quite some time. Chinese lesson was funny and a little high.. LOL!! Haha.. Anyway, I'm in MULTIMEDIA. Sec ones are having their orientation nxt week. Hopefully they'll enjoy it. Omigosh... I'm seriously so tired. Shall stop here for now.. Ahh... Chinese new year is coming in 2 weeks time!!! YAY!!!++

++ Haha.. OC rocks!!! ++

++ Love Is In The Air ++

++ Another beginning ++

++ The last day of the year is usually memorable. It's also the day of recollection. I started off blogging last year end, with just one entry, entitled An Introduction - The very beginning this year, i had 52 entries this year (not including this one) and i consider it quite little compared to my brother's blog. But well, the year passes fast. Many people that I want to thank. They have helped me a lot throughout the year. This year has been great and I look forward to working with new pathners next year. This shall be the last post of the year. Next year, my blog's gonna be pretty dead because I'm only gonna post rarely, maybe on certain events, interesting ones.

Now for my resolutions. Basically I do not have much to resolute. Haha.. The main ones are to grow taller and to do well in my tests and EOYs.

My flight is in the morning so i gotta wake up super early, maybe abt 5 plus coz gotta travel quite some distance and check in too.

Oh... i also bought some souvenirs and food stuff. Btw, i am blogging from the hotel lobby of Rich Garden Hotel in Taipei's Xi Men Ting. Although it's a 4 star hotel, it is much better than some others that we stayed in for the past 7 days. It has this toilet bowl that can wash ur ass for u and of course the bath tub that every other hotel has. It's a sad thing that i only used the bath tub for what it supposed to be used for on the 8th day of my tour and i found out that the water was blue in colour. it's kind of stupid to say that lah.. I am very high now although my legs are aching coz of a whole day of shopping. I went up 101 today:D nice lah but cost a bomb. S$17 leh.. juz to watch night view of taiwan... yeah... i guess tats all for now... :D will post lots of photos and other stuff abt life in taiwan when i get back. stay tuned kaes... :p ++

++ Drama ++

++ Third lang was not too good today. The lessons were not very interesting and together with a scary 先生 whose name I shall not mention. She was fierce. We had enrichment lessons. I was slacking in the morning, like reading I-Weekly, prac my piano and did some sudoku. Tomo's e-lit drama is going to be really exciting. Monks... :D jia you 1J! ++

++ Love Is In The Air ++

++ Grey's Anatomy ++

++ WOW!!! I love Grey's Anatomy. It's a really great show. At first, I thought it was kind of boring as it was just a story about things that happen in a hospital or clinic. However, after my brother showed me that show, I was kind of addicted to it. Life is unpredictable, I know that we should treasure everything and everybody around us. But actually, I am kind of late coz the episodes that I watched are from season 3. It's kind of sad that I have third lang tomo coz tomo is actually a marking and administration day for our school. Watching star search semi-finals now. :D ++

++ Love Is In The Air ++

++ Asian Civilisation Museum ++

++ We went to the Asian Civilisation Museum today. We were supposed to go around the galleries and find the answers to the questions. I was grouped with Jane, Olivia, Daphne, Wei Lu and Yuan Ting. We had a nice time though. In the afternoon, May Shuen, Sarah, Daphne, Lih Maan, Vanessa Koh and Angelique played Table Tennis and we had a really great time. :D Going to science center tomorrow. ++

++ Love Is In The Air ++

++ 日本文化 ++

++ Today was really great too except that my runny nose made me feel terrible. Bleahx :( There were many talks today. PBL, skin care and eye care... They revolve all around us, our well-being and problems we might face in life. 日本文化クラスはおもしろいです。私のクラスのが好きです。We did Origami, played Japanese traditional games. It was really interesting to learn abt all these. Wen Yi came by to give her 先生theすしshe made with her friend. In the end, she joined us in making orgami. At that time, we were making a hamster and she told me about her hamsters that she made last year and showed me the pics. It was so cute... :D I have a picture of the origami that I made. hehe...++

++ Love Is In The Air ++

++ Southeast Asian Fair ++

++Didn't have time to blog abt southeast asian fair yesterday. Well, yesterday was quite busy but fun though. Our class had this red cloth spreaded across the tables and some stuff related to the countries lain on the table. Haha.. our top sales girl yesterday was Wen Xin. She really could introduce all those items. Personally, my favourite store is 1 Purity. They were really smart in the sense that they prepared Indonesian goodies and that attracted customers. So I think that that is a good way of doing business. I also think that 1 Hope was really creative to use the tree branch to put up the banner. It was quite cool. On the whole, I enjoyed the event. Really, I feel that we have put in sooo much effort since term 3, especially our poster. That period of time was really unforgettable. ++

++ Love Is In The Air ++

++ ISWAK ++

++ISWAK, I know its kind of late to be into this show but I really love it... It justs tickles me whenever I watch this show on youtube. Well, I first saw it on TV when it was episode 12. I found it really funny and I decided to ask Yu Ting about it. She knows alot abt these shows. :D Well, she introduced a lot more shows to me but currently, I want to finish watch ISWAK first. If you have been wondering what exactly does ISWAK stand for, it's actually 恶作剧之吻, It Started With A Kiss. It's a really cute show so I recommend it to all of you. :) ++

++ Interesting ++

++ I found this article or what you call it interesting and well, quite true too. It's copyrighted so you will have to put a link to a blog like what i did below in black ink if you want to copy it.

Taken from my brother ryan's blog.

--->
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That' s the key

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . .. . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime and it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I w as JUST 92."

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!! ++

++ Love Is In The Air ++

++ Three cheers for 1J ++

++Three cheers for 1J!!! YAY!! It was really miraculous that our class won the 2nd place. Well, firstly, we did not win any of the matches except for Table Tennis. May Shuen said they won technically but not mentally. As for captain's ball, we won 2nd place. I guess those contributed to our positioning too. We lost all frisbee matches, partly due to our poor defence but it was also due to rough play. Rough play was not started by us though. We wanted to play friendly matches. However, one class was really rough. They were practically snatching the frisbee. We were "forced" in some way to play rough. Really, we were never so rough. haha... But I really enjoyed the whole games carnival. 1J rocks!!! All e best for 东南亚!!! Whee... ++
