Finally went for mambo night at zouk on wed. It was a really impromptu decision by whit and i. This time, we made sure we went into the right place and not velvet underground again! Was quite honored when the bouncer wanted an id check muahaha. Enjoyed the drink, the music and of course the company. whit, i'll try to smile more when i'm there. Lol..

Isetan private sale on thurs. How come everyone is so free yar? The whole store was so crowded esp at the shoes, bags and clothes dept. I bought some fancl products and mummy bought her sk2.

One week of holiday is ending too soon!

There's a lizard lurking around somewhere in my room! eeewww!
i detest all non-human creatures!

Korean food, Amara hotel

Daddy called ard 4pm yesterday to say that he is done with his work at the office. We read in the newspaper some time ago that there's a new night market in malacca. So, off we go. Mummy, daddy and i, the 3 of us to malacca! So last minute! Grabbed my portable vcd player, magazine, jacket and we're all set. Very used to this kinda impromptu trip cos daddy used to do it often when i was in pri and sec school. Sometimes to genting, kl, cameron highlands or even kuantan.

I get to drive from the malaysia custom all the way to the pagoh r&r station which is abt 230km i think. Its my 2nd time driving in malaysia. Most of the cars were zooming past me even though i was already going at an average of 120km/hr. Scary.. It was getting darker and parts of the highway didn't have any light. So exciting yet so so stressful! The drive was so long that my feet turned a little numb. Daddy finished up the last half and hour or so of the journey and it was already 8.30pm when we reached malacca.

The nightmarket resembles those in bangkok but it was still fun to walk around. Tasted the very famous chendol with yummy gula melaka, assam laksa and some light snacks that we bought from the night market. Then its another 3 hour ride back to singapore. Should've stayed a night there but there's amy's wedding today to attend. We're so bo liao right?

Crazy parents, crazy me! hahaha..

2007-09-22T15:39:00.001+08:00

Finally changed my blogskin. Fell in love with it the moment i saw it. So colourful and preeetty!

I wonder how many people still read my blog since its been dead for quite some time. Well, will get the tag board up soon :)

2007-09-18T11:46:00.000+08:00

Bought my first box of doughnuts from donut factory at suntec yesterday. The queue wasn't super long unlike the other branch at raffles city. There were so many flavours to choose from like spicy cheese, peanut choc, mint choc, double choc, apple cinnamon, kaya, bluberry, rasberry blah blah.. So exciting! Tasted one on the spot and it was yummmy! The choc coating was still warm and melting and the doughnut slightly crispy cos it was fried. Didn't taste that good when i heated it up with the microwave this morning. Conclusion, you have to eat them fresh! To you all doughnut lovers out there who don't want to queue, try donut factory's new branch at suntec. They have an express queue for max 2 doughnuts. Krispy Kreme's was too sweet for my liking. This is just nice. Sweet enough but not too sweet.

2007-09-10T22:31:00.000+08:00

I don't usually drink coffee but was super tired in the morning so i bought my first can of nescafe mocha. And so i was happily shaking and shaking the can, thinking that i need to mix the drink well. When i finally opened it, my mocha exploded halfway through lecture. hahaha! My goodness.. it was so loud. Once again, i embarrass myself in front of a huge crowd. Reminds me of the time i fell down while walking up the stairs in the lt. Even xiu zhen who was sitting at the other end of the lt saw it. Someone stab me please...

2007-09-10T19:43:00.000+08:00

I hate talking to you, especially on msn. You always make my questions sound so silly. Hello! You are the stupid one who keeps misinterpreting what i say. I really don't understand the way you think. Its so so weird.

2007-09-07T23:22:00.000+08:00

I feel and look FAT!

Yea i've always been complaining that i'm getting fatter and fatter but there hasn't been any particularly strong motivating factor for me to go do something abt it. Until today!! Ahh.. so upset when i saw my pics appearing on rachael's blog and whit's facebook! I look horribly fat! Not pleasantly plump, but FAT! Shit! I'm so glad my bday pics turned out pretty alright or i won't want to live to see my next bday.

I'm running tmr! Yes, i shall run 6 rounds tmr! But i haven't done a real run since i left vj which is like 3 yrs ago. Er ok, maybe 4 rounds. Wait, where are my running shoes? Maybe i shld just start with 2. Oh die....

2007-09-07T23:09:00.000+08:00

I'd been told to update my very very dead blog. Let me think of what to write. In the meantime, you may want to visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/angelinechua for my 21st birthday party photos! :)

2007-07-31T15:49:00.001+08:00

Holidays are ending!! I wouldn't say i had a really enriching hols but i sure had fun. The hk trip to start off the holidays, waking up late everyday, shopping and more shopping :) The only dreadful thing is planning for the bday party. Its such a chore!

Musical Extravaganza was held at the singapore power auditorium on the 28th july. All went well except for a few wrong notes here and there but not too bad for someone who didn't even memorise the song well. hehe... will upload the photos after i've figured out why i can't post my pics on blogger.

2007-05-02T23:11:00.000+08:00

Its been such a loooooong time since i had last posted anything. I'm actually thinking of closing down the blog since i find it a chore to blog these days but there are still occasions when i feel this urge to write. Just like now!

Celebrated my last day of exams with wan qin and xue ting staying over at my place. We baked our very first cake! And its from plain flour, not from a ready made cake mix!! Even though the sponge cake turned out to taste more like a brownie, its still edible k! And we did a layer of frosting that looked so professional! Whee! I'm so proud of myself :)
In need of some real good supper at 2am, we went on our roti prata hunt and then it was back home for a night of pictionary. Fell asleep on the sofa while watching di xia tie, i was desperately in need of sleep since i only slept 4 hrs the previous night preparing for the physio paper.

Finally met up with whit and xue ting again on the eve of labour day. We walked round and round clarke quay before we finally settled down for dinner at Highlander, a scottish restaurant. (read whit's blog for more details) Checked out Fashion Bar as a potential party place. A dinner is never complete without dessert, of course :) So we headed to robertson quay to satisfy our sweet tooth. A pity Canele wasn't open so Chocolate Factory was our next best choice. The vienna hot chocolate tasted like they melted a whole bar of choc with just 50ml of water. It was way too thick. An overdose of choc! Had to call it a day cos i was having a high fever and a horrible sore throat. Its already the 3rd day and i'm still not well. haiz..

The hols started not too long ago and i'm gonna die of boredom soon! Lend me all your vcds and games! :)

2007-03-19T20:14:00.000+08:00

It was daddy's birthday yesterday and we had a real great time out together. After a very nice lunch at sushi tei where i get to eat my usual salmon head, we headed to this dragonfruit farm in lim chu kang. Never knew that dragonfruits are actually the fruits of the cactus plant. New discovery!
Then, it was off to get my dad's present while he catches a little nap at home since the weather was unbearably warm and it was making all of us sleepy. Mummy and i had only 1 and a half hours before we meet up with sis and dad again. Seems like there's more than enough time to troop down to yishun safra to get him a new bowling ball. But! The last "mighty zone 1" that the pro shop has is 15.4 pounds, 0.4 pounds heavier than what my dad wants. Argh! With only an hour left, we sped down to orchard to do some very last min shopping. In the end, we bought him a white burberry top that adds to his entire wardrobe of white tops. Haha.. cos my mum loves the colour white and since she is the one doing all the shopping for my dad, it explains why my dad only has white tops. hehe...
Buffet dinner at Paris in marina square and drinks at one fullerton was a perfect way to end the day. so Happy B'day to daddy! I love you so much! *muacks*

2007-03-05T14:46:00.000+08:00

Study and i'll bring you out for ice cream later.
Thats what my mum told me today after i complained of being sick of mugging. Just like how you'll coax a little child. This is what you get as the youngest child of the family i guess. But anyway, i still love these little treats. Chocolates, sweets, ice cream.. yummy!

Had been teaching the piano for quite a few mths and i love my job. I've got really interesting students.
me: "fortissimo means very loud, try pronouncing the word."
student:"fortissimo"
me:"very loud" ( i was trying to tell her the meaning)
student:"FORTISSIMO!!!!!"

lol...

2007-02-09T23:44:00.000+08:00

After the m2s finished their genetics CA yesterday, the 6 of us went to Amici, a nice little italian restaurant in holland v for lunch. A worthwhile try for their set lunch. Although the portions were a little small, the food quality was pretty good. Ambience is great but it seems a little too relax for lunch esp since i have to rush back to sch for tutorial.

The girls went crazy in party city cos we found dozens of bimbotic little party gifts and cute pinkish princessy accesories. Anyway, it was my first time meeting daniel and whit, if you're reading this, he's actually not that bad looking.

Oh and have i ever mentioned that i don't like to play the piano? ok so, i don't like to play the piano but my piano exam is coming up! Argh stress!

2007-01-15T00:32:00.000+08:00

Ha i'm back. First post of the new year! Its 2007 and i'm 15 days late in wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

So anyway, the start of a new year means there are reflections to be done and resolutions to be made. 2006 hadn't been a great year for me. Oh well, squirrel and i both agreed that things happen for a reason so i'll stop dwelling on it but its still hard to accept. I really wonder how the others who went through the same fate as me managed to fit in so well with the class. Call me a loner if you want but i don't find the passion in making new friends in the past few months. How i miss my yayas and whit, the sudden burst into laughter during lecture and unstoppable laughing rolls during our gossip sessions. Lt 29 was unusually cold in the last few months of 2006.

Ok anyway, to end of all the unhappiness, i had a really great trip to hong kong. Disneyland there is really nothing compared to the one in the states but the artifical snow and fireworks at the closing ceremony were awesome. As millions of gold sparkles lit up the dark sky, at that very moment, i chose to believe that the world is beautiful. That is one reason why Disney is so successful. Becasue people take it as a form of escape into euphoria, where good will always triumph over evil and where fairytales do happen. Of course there are many other reasons why Disney is so succesful but i won't elaborate now or i can give you a 2000 word report on it. Haha.. from project work of course. Thanks to disney, i aced my project work in j1. hahaha!

A new year marks a new beginning. 2007 will definitely be better for all of us. Stay healthy and happy everyone. Cheers! :)

Free Free Free at last!

2006-12-07T23:21:00.000+08:00

CAs are finally over! Yahooooo!
Biochem was much easier compared to last yr's so i'm pretty satisfied with my mcq score and seq shldn't be much of a problem this time. Physio was really tricky though. Can't wait to catch up with my dear girls.. i'm sure there's lots of gossips out there for us to share.

Leaving for Hong Kong next friday with auntie alicia. I'm one big fat lucky girl cos alicia will be sponsoring the air tics and hotel stay. yay!!

bangkok!

2006-11-19T02:15:00.000+08:00

Auntie Alicia and me :)

This is a little outdated but yes, i went to bangkok at the beginning of this mth. Main aim of the trip was to shop and eat till we drop. I'm proud to announce that we've accomplised our mission and went home with 4 luggages full of clothes, shoes, earings blah blah and even a whole cardboard box filled with food.

Had alot of fun bargaining. One impt tip when shopping in bangkok, learn to speak some simple thai language. Prices can shoot a few times higher if they know you're a tourist.
But still:
me:"ni tao lai?" ( which means how much is this)
salesgirl: rattle off a long list of thai words
me: (nod nod nod and looking like i totally understand her) "oh! hmm.. sorry how much is this again?"

Loy Krathong festival was amazing and the night view was fantastic at the chao phraya river. It also happened to be the gay parade week and also elle fashion week( free swensen's ice cream!) which was held directly opp my hotel. Seriously hate walking next to those models, i felt so short. Oh yes yes! Impt thing to mention: Bangkok is not only the shopping paradise but its also a city filled with so many eye candies! hahaha.. But there are also alot of guys there with an identity crisis. you know what i mean.. hahaha..

Had alot of fun there. Ate alot, shopped alot and laughed alot.
A perfect ending to the whole trip was watching Rain's interview on the plane back! Ahh.. i totally love Rain!

2006-11-02T09:20:00.000+08:00

PHS was quite an experience. It sure has fulfilled my wish to yak and yak non stop. I can so imagine joel showing me that stupid handsign and go:" haiz you! talking non stop again! yak yak yak yak!" hahahaha. Yea, all of us had a rather interesting time helping people fill up the questionaire. Xue ting had a lady who kept repeating the story of how she fell down the escalator and everytime she repeats, she'll go: " oh papa! oh mama! oh jesus! oh lord! oh auntie! oh uncle! oh........." and the list stretches on.

It sure was a test of our chinese languange too! Someone shld publish a dictionary of medical terms in mandarin. Non of us could rmbr what pap smear is called in chinese. Qian tai was the ultimate. Colorectal cancer became mang2 chang2 yan2 which actually means appendicitis. erm.. am i right?!

Too bad we didn't get to try out the other jobs like ushering and taking the bp. I had to rush off for a cousins' lunch gathering at my place.

Starting my shopping spree tmr! Yeah! Finally, my much awaited trip to bangkok, the shopping paradise!! Msg me if you guys wanna buy anything from there.

M2s, good luck for the upcoming CAs. Jia you darlings! Ciao everyone :)

2006-10-19T11:31:00.000+08:00

Angie is bored, really bored. The yr 2s are busy preparing for their upcoming CAs so my usual going out kakis can't hangout with me after sch. Nothing's been happening lately except for the trip to the National Museum for the Art of Cartier exhibition with Blanchee, and the bowling session with my old bowling pal, tim. The lanes at his club are really nice after the renovation and woah, his bowling skills have improved trememdously, that guy is damn proud of it. Seems that his triumph had sparked off his bowling interest once again. hahaha.. Anyway dude, all the best for your entry into vet sch. Oh yar, must help him publicise. Anyone interested in adopting pups? Interested candidates need to fulfil stringent criterias set by tim.

Bought new specs yesterday, no more red, purple this time. Haha, the guy said i'll look more refreshing with it prob cos i walked in with a sleepy look, hair uncombed and all, very unglam. Hopefully it works or i'll kill him for the amt of money spent.

Bangkok with my auntie in 15 more days. Can't wait! Yahooo! Then hopefully Korea in december and bangkok again during CNY with my parents.

2006-10-10T22:12:00.000+08:00

oh no oh no my blog is damn boring. Was blog surfing and jumped upon some really humorous ones. eh shit, i stared at the screen for 2 mins trying to figure out if its humorous or humerus. Its not a desperate attempt to be funny. really. oh man, med sch confuses people and my english is getting from bad to worse. darn.

oh eh? what was i about to say? ahh i forgot. oh whatever.

anyway, if you wanna get entertained, don't read this blog. hahaha.. must communicate verbally when i'm in the mood and i'll definitely get you on a laughing roll. Quote from serene:" of high entertainment value". muahahahahaha

oh and PHS! i wanna join. But please don't ask me to give out pamphlets cos knowing me, i'm bound to throw them at people who refuse to take it.

Attended the Asian Electone Festival in VCH. Aiyoh, its so scary cos from my view, the contestants' fingers look like tentacles! Of course, everyone chose songs that were of a certain level of technical difficulty but that would have also required even better psychomotor skills. Damn pro. Besides the music, the dressing of this yr's contestants were also highly criticised. This girl turned up in a wedding gown lookalike dress. Goodness, how did she manage to breathe in that? And its so long, puffy and flowy, she would have done better with the help of a flower girl holding the ends of her dress with the wedding bells ringing. And this taiwanese guy came dressed as a punk-wannabe in bright red pants. Tsk tsk. hello! This is a competition and you're gonna be on stage. Show some decency in dressing please.

I'm currently hooked on this korean drama called goong. I love the songs! so touching! ooohh.. shall go listen to the soundtrack now. ciao!

2006-10-05T22:06:00.000+08:00

Anna, you're too cute to be missed out! muahahahahaha!
oh no, i have a feeling i'm going to see my orbiturary in the papers soon.

I'm going bangkok in november! wheee! my auntie just gave me my air ticket. yahooo!
Shopping, eating, shopping, eating and more shopping...

2006-10-02T22:25:00.000+08:00

Chocolate fondue plus mooncake tasting session. It was damn fun. Hey guys, we shld do this more often and get fat together. hahaha. I love my mummy's kueh pie tee too. *shiok* We actually finished like 50 cups?! woohoo.

Choc fondue was ... loud. I have no idea why the fountain machine makes this weird, loud sound as it sucks the chocolate up. People had to shout across the table to be heard. Melvin, aren't you glad your dentist wasn't there to see how you tried staining all those new braces? hahahahaha.

Bought mooncakes from bakerzin, raffles the plaza and this shop called "Home's favourite" that has pure D24 durian puree mooncake. Rum and raisin, bailey's, champagne and choc crisp flavoured mooncakes from raffles was...wow! But the ultimate would have been the durian mooncake. If you're a die hard durain lover, you've got to try this. Tze yeong wouldn't leave until we cut the 2nd durian mooncake as our finale. *speechless* but he deserved a bigger slice for coming early and helping me prepare the choc fondue :) Oh yes, and i'm so surprised to see everyone here without losing their directions cos my hse is like one of the ulu-est place on earth. Except for sotong xue ting who walked the opp direction again despite coming to my hse a couple of times and making the same mistake as always.

Had blood physio tutorial today and i tell you, the new physio tut system sucks. This is the first time i felt so panicky over a damn tutorial. eeew! Luckily the people in my team are rather pleasant, allowing an over-the-phone discussion while i lunch at paragon with blanchee after my blood test. Honestly, i wasn't in sch for the discussion cos i forgot i had tutorial today. Didn't really like my food though, the earl grey smelled like dish washing soap according to dear blanche. Thanks. hahahaha.

2006-09-11T17:39:00.000+08:00

Life's been pretty interesting recently. Shinhwa concert yesterday. Stepped into the indoor stadium with a huge question mark: "erm.. who is shinhwa?!" haha.. decided to go since amy offered us free tickets. Wow.. they rock big time! dance super duper well! woohoo.. stunned. A korean boy band with 6 members, started since 1998. Isn't it amazing how all 6 of them stay united as one for so many years?

Forbidden city coming up next.. free tic? nah..
just staff pass! muahahahah!

Attended a bakery class just now with my mama and the 2 of us actually dozed off. The mooncake that the chef made wasn't even tasty. I seriously have no idea why i joined the class.

Yahoooo! My first job! I just signed a one year contract with yamaha. Hurray!
And i'm joining back the volunteer club at nuh. It feels so good to see molly again! haha... her laughter brightens up my day.

So, many more interesting events to come, starting off with the museum tour with the girls tomorrow....

2006-09-08T01:52:00.000+08:00

Finally, return of the keyboard!

DnD last saturday was fun seeing everyone dress up. Perfect for our favourite pastime hobby, people watching.

Devil wears Prada! Look at all the gorgeous outfits and killer heels! Btw, i love shoes! haha.. not easy to find though cos i have gigantic feet, size 40, madness! Forget abt buying shoes of my size in most asian countries. Big foot monster.

Met this girl today and she called me xiao bai. erps.. Not that i don't wanna get tanned but i can't. I'll only get sunburnt and look like a cooked lobster for an entire week. Plus, i'm already much darker than i used to.

Talking abt being called names, Denise calls me ah ma everytime he sees me and shariff called me a bimbo that day. So bimbo + ah ma.. what does that make me? A bimbotic ah ma?! not bad not bad.. sounds funky. hahaha..

2006-08-28T00:32:00.003+08:00

testing, testing, testing....

i'm now typing with the on-screen keyboard. Why? cos my dear mama confiscated my keyboard! never knew she was that zai with the comp. hahah... but not zai enough to think that her dear, extremely rebellious daughter will start to use this on-screen thingy. luckily she didn't remove the mouse. muahaha..

gosh, my hand is so tired from all these clicking of the mouse.

i think mummy is so gonna regret removing the keyboard cos i'm spending so much more time typing this short little post. sorry. muahaha..

2006-08-24T21:45:00.000+08:00

Ways to avoid getting a summon from the traffic police when speeding:

1. When you see a blue guy standing at the road shoulder next to a white car with bright orange stripes, brake and cut immediately into the centre lane. Attempt to camouflage among all the other cars.
2. Two ways to handle the situation when you see that damn white car with the blue siren tailing behind you:
a. if driving a sports car, try your luck and step hard on the accelerator. i'm sure your car will outbeat his(rmbr to check your mailbox the next day though)
b. be a good citizen and stop by the road shoulder.
3. Park somewhere shady. why stand in the sun? it doesn't matter if mr. tp is in the sun though. haha..
4. *SMILE* most impt rule!! Display your sweetest smile. Act innocent.
5. Try your luck at begging. hmm.. perhaps not begging, we need to maintain our integrity and dignity. The word "please" shld be sufficient.
6. Continue to smile.
7. Pray.
8. Look at the other cars passing by. Enjoy the moment of stardom. Nearly every driver turned their heads to stare. perhaps checking your car plate number so they can go buy 4d. hahaha
8. All's not over when you see mr. tp printing a long white form. In the writer's case, she merely recieved a warning letter and a lecture on road safety.
9. Drive off with a huge grin ;)

2006-08-20T22:49:00.000+08:00

Things shine at first, and as time goes by, they tend to fade away. Eventually, they are just not there anymore.
Yea, time heals everything but not all things fade. Happy memories don't :)

2006-08-12T22:30:00.000+08:00

Broadway Beng rocks! Highly recommended by angie if you want to have an afternoon of non-stop laughter, enjoy some local humor and lots of crude hokkien language. Sebastian Tan rocks! Funny, charming, sings really well and most impt of all, super duper beng! haha... Thanks whit for the wonderful bday present and for being the fashion police of the day, you know what i mean. *Muacks* =)

2006-08-02T20:51:00.000+08:00

Thank you all who helped in my preperations for the exams.
Thank you all who stopped by my table to check on my progress.
Thank you all who stood by me during those difficult times. The occasional calls, the little words of encouragement, the wonderful presents: flowers, chocolates, cushion.
Thank you all who were with me today. Especially whitney and tze yeong who came to school just to accompany me; ouyang, who came over from nuh after hearing abt the news and for being such a great tutor; kenrick, for the mango milk ice; serene; blanche and many many more.
Thank you all who had so much faith in me.
I'm sorry to disappoint and i love you all.

2006-07-25T15:06:00.000+08:00

Its been a really long time since i last blogged. Met up with yun and annalisa last night for a girls' night out. I had so much food at sushi tei and later, drinks at Mezebar. Jazz there wasn't fantastic cos the singer couldn't articulate well so we could only hear him mumbling. Drinks were cool though. My lychee martini came served in a jap teapot with dry ice at the bottom so its really like i'm brewing tea and having a tea appreciation course. Yun's mai tai was huge. Definitely worth the price. haha! ooh.. i had fun chilling out with my yayas.

2006-06-30T00:35:00.000+08:00

Stop press news, stop press news! All yaya sisters are back in singapore!
Welcome home, sumayyah! :)

Half a year ago at the airport. Annalisa and I sending mayyah off.
Wow, time flies.

2006-06-28T00:09:00.000+08:00

Thought i heard a helicopter flew past in the evening and even felt the table vibrating but when i asked around, no one else heard it. Blanche, who was sitting on the same bench as me didn't feel the vibrations too. Darn, i was hallucinating! either that, or i was dreaming, but the vibrations were so real. alright, i'm going crazy.

2006-06-22T16:41:00.000+08:00

pure coincidence? i dunnoe. found out something really interesting..
riddle:6334 eh peeps, 4d number. haha..

A very distracted week. Kept finding myself staring into space and spending alot of time trying to figure out what i truly want and expect in my life. hmm, kinda came up with a conclusion, though i'm not sure if its the right decision but well, hopefully i won't regret it.

Its a little hard to interact with people these days. argh. what happened to my social skills? alright, maybe i don't have it in the first place. haha.. or maybe its simply because people are changing. Sometimes, i wonder who i'm talking to. which is the real you? and you? and you?

i'm crapping. haha. too bored in the med soc lounge.

2006-06-16T22:52:00.000+08:00

Krispy Kreme doughnut! Courtesy of tze yeong :) i wouldn't say its freshly flown in from london cos its actually more than a week old. hahahah. Whit was actually eating it with a pair of chopsticks. this is what i call a fusion of cultures. haha...

2006-06-15T00:42:00.000+08:00

Wonderful evening out with whitney and tze yeong today. Japanese food for dinner followed by drinks at the Atrium Lounge at marina mandarin. We were actually looking forward to the martinis from Morton but the place was booked for a private function. The Atrium Lounge turned out to be a real cool place to chill and gossip, with the live piano music as background. Too bad those 2 football fanatics had to rush home to catch the world cup or we could've stayed for the jazz performance.

The 3 of us enjoying our drinks at the atrium lounge. 2 pink champagnes and a tiger draught.

ty and whitney :)

my pink champagne and erm yes, those are my red nail varnish. haha!

Me and Ty :)

Interesting night out and haha, more drinking sessions to come as promised by the 2 alcoholics. Cheers everyone! :)

2006-06-13T12:32:00.000+08:00

peng. i wanna peng. the nice calm beach background disappeared! diaoz..
alright, *wave white flag* i'm a computer idiot. hahaha..

2006-06-12T23:57:00.000+08:00

New blog skin! i love the calmness of the beach. *bea-u-ti-ful* haha.. too bad you can't get this kind of view in singapore. Took a really long time trying to figure out the html language. yay!

2006-06-11T22:22:00.000+08:00

woohoo! Bought a chocolate fondue fountain today for 20 bucks! great bargain! erm but you need to buy 2000 dollars worth of stuff from harvey norman in order to get that deal. can't wait to try it out! anyone? haha.

yay! new pair of blue flip flops from bebe and lots of chocolate. haha.

2006-06-10T00:06:00.000+08:00

"Can't take that away" by mariah carey. Really nice and touching song that blanche introduced to me today. Love the lyrics.

2006-06-08T19:21:00.000+08:00

5.5 weeks. As the dates draw closer, the stress level builds up. The fear of failing and the fear of being an embarassment is overwhelming. i miss the good ol' days where the word "failure" never seem to exist in my dictionary. ahh whatever, i don't wanna talk about it. hmm actually, 5.5 weeks = 38days = 912 hours =54720mins (wow.. thats a long time) haha.. alright ignore me, i'm going crazy.

2006-06-01T20:53:00.000+08:00

"pathetique" by beethoven. wow. nice.. the good old mep times when i'll pester poh ning to repeat this song over and over again. haha.. that girl is a piano genius! and the mep rooms where poh ning and i will hang out while the rest attend literature class in sec 3/4... so now you guys know why i have such horrible understanding abilities.. i've only attended lit in sec 1 and 2.. and the diarrhoea-causing-cooking skills as well cos i've never attended a single home econs class. hahaha!

more songs that brought back wonderful memories: "superman" by five for fighting.. woohoo! our very own 03s15 class band and how we tortured shaun by making him repeat that one phrase a million times simply cos he can't get the rhythm right, and making him so mad that he wanted to walk out before mya spurted out:" your ego is too big for you to leave this room!" *oops, ouch*

"we are the champion"! The day that sec 3 wisdom reigned the world.. haha. overall winner for games day 2001! we stood united at the spectators stand and sang our lungs out to show the world that we are not nerds. haha!

i sound so old. hahahaha!

2006-05-30T23:08:00.000+08:00

was listening to the song "time to say goodbye" and i realise i don't wanna say goodbye to anything or anyone ard me. if not for the supp papers, i'll be an extremely happy princess.

Spent the day practising the organ. Procrastinate, procrastinate. Anything to escape from the fact that i have to start mugging. Well, at least i'll make my music teacher happy tmr. :)

2006-05-27T20:09:00.000+08:00

yay! no more pizza plate! so glad i survived a year of driving without any major accidents. Even though i do have to admit that yes, i am a road hazard! haha. Hmm.. worst accident so far was when the side mirror flew off. 2 summons in total in the past year, one for parking at a season parking only lot and another for passing through the erp gantry without a cashcard. haha! maybe i shld keep the p plate on so that people can still be cautious abt this driver. according to blanche:" huh? one yr already? how come your driving is still like this?" peng. seriously, i am a pretty safe driver k? haha!

congratulations to whitney who passed her driving test yesterday!

2006-05-23T23:15:00.000+08:00

sushi dinner at wheelock place tonight with annalisa and yun. i think i'm turning to a sushi since you are what you eat and i've been having sushi every alternate day. Was looking into the mirror at zara when this familiar face stared right back at me. haha! yun! so glad that a*star made you come back for attachments. hehehe and thanks for the shirt that says:" if you're rich, i'm single!"

chio bu! welcome home :) wheeee!

2006-05-19T16:32:00.000+08:00

yahoooo! my dear yaya yun is back!! yeah yeah! I can't wait to see her again after nearly a year.
Went for sushi at the esplanade during lunch. haha..i think its my 3rd time there this week. Totally addicted to it. haha! while walking with whitney in raffles city, we heard the band play "the girl from ipanema". woohoo... i love the tune! Would have sounded better if the band used something sharper like the saxophone cos it sounded really mellow.

2006-05-17T22:21:00.000+08:00

this is so weird.
my sis dreamt that she had a mashimaro as a pet,
and somehow i became that mashimaro.
so i am her pet.

gosh. why do i have such a weird sister?! haha..

2006-05-16T19:51:00.000+08:00

now 10percent of the year 1 population knows i've super low self esteem. argh! was "encouraged" to talk abt it during pdcp tutorial..shit, it made me feel like a total loser. Welcome to loser land, population number 1: me!

i'm craving for chocolate now.

2006-05-15T20:24:00.000+08:00

first day of pdcp today. after attending the first lecture, whit and i left for our "self-declared temporary break". haha. wanted to go chill out at this place in stamford house where you get free flow of drinks, snacks and vcds, but the shop wasn't open when we went so we walked to the esplanade, hang ard the lib and later had some yummy sushi.

As usual, we needed our share of dessert and so we walked into this choc shop. Settled down, were served water, but as we were browsing through the menu, we decided it was too chocolaty for us. okie tt sounded stupid but we were expecting some cakes and not pure choc. haha.. whatever, we spent the next 5 mins thinking of some lame excuses to leave that shop, like making a beep sound and say super loudly tt we need to rush off to the hosp or something. i can't believe we had to do something like this again. haha! the first time was at sushi tei, holland v, with dear whitney too. oh no.. so ungraceful and rude. haha. After much embarassment but still craving for dessert, we went to out of the pan in raffles city, sat by the fountain and had some ice cream and drinks. Staring at the fountain does give you a calming effect.

Returned to school for a 2 hour tutorial and did a little personality test that i think we did once with mr chua in j2.

2006-05-13T22:27:00.000+08:00

alright, big mistake for revealing my sis' age in the previous post. She tried to strangle her one and only sister. ok now, happy 22nd birthday, babe!! (is tt young enough?) hahahha...

2006-05-13T18:42:00.000+08:00

Angela's birthday today!! Happy Birthday, babe!!!! woohoo...27! haha *she is so gonna kill me for announcing her age*

My dining room stinks now. It smells like ammonia! All due to that bouquet of lilies tt her friends gave! Wah... i so wanna throw it away! Aren't lilies supposed to smell nice? super duper weird.

2006-05-11T19:19:00.000+08:00

yahooooo!
The dean is so so nice. He postponed the dates for the exams! wow! He totally rocks! haha!

we were all called in for a discussion session to decide whether we shld postpone the thing or not. i tot i was in for a heated discussion but no, peace and lots of laughter.

yay! its official now! yaya!

2006-05-11T03:09:00.000+08:00

confused
i'm very confused.

2006-05-09T02:54:00.000+08:00

Was tossing and turning in my bed cos i couldn't sleep no matter how tired i am. Decided to come online to chat and i'm so glad i did. I just witnessed how a boy grew into a man and this exact man just gave me a real confidence booster.

Some things he said tt i'll never ever forget:
- "let me tell u, our frenship was sealed the day u came into S15"
- "i dun wanna be fake to myself and pple anymore"
- "I am a changed man!"
- "right now, i think maybe u are quite sheltered, but u will grow up too!"
- "one day ur parents will grow old,and they will need sheltering too. Who will shelter them if u dun grow up
and take the role? We all need shelter in the two ends of the spectrum in our lives. When we were young and
helpless, and when we are old and feeble. In between its the time we have to learn to tkae care of those
above us, and those below us"
- "now, is the time for u to prove it to me and everyone again"
- "if you are a fighter, den go ahead and fight Graves, fight the feeling that u are stupid!"
- "yups yups! i dun entrust my faith in any random person"
- " hmmm think abt it, and think of how u will live ok?"

TY! I am so proud of you!!!!
Thanks dude for all the encouragements throughout my jc life, and also those tt will accompany me in my journey in the next few weeks, months or even years to come. Thanks for the faith you have in me! You are a grown man and now, its my turn.

p.s. i really think you shld consider starting a motivational class. haha!

2006-05-08T22:25:00.000+08:00

Today was a day of emotional and physical turmoil.
It was the first time i went into the central library,
the first time i went to the macs in nus,
the first time i used my own matric card to enter the anat museum,
and also the first time i scolded so many fs to my friend in a row.

first, it was meeting with prof raj to talk abt anat, and i was so so happy to hear tt the dean is considering postponing our supp papers. but later in the day, when others heard abt it, they complain like shit cos it will mean a shorter holiday, and also "feeling guilty" for going on hols without studying. hello?! its not as though the dates will clash with your hol plans, its after tt. plus it wouldn't hurt to have more time for extra revision right? I'm disgusted by the selfishness of some people. Yes, you only have 1 paper to do. Spare a thought for the others who have more than 1 paper. we really need the time. shouldn't the right thing be us all passing as a whole batch? how can anyone leave their friends behind? alright, probably we deserve it for not working hard enough but .... argh! i'm too tired to say more.

adding on to that, palpitations like crazy. Had to pop an extra propranolol. Gave a super pissed and bored look during revision sessions but yes, i'm still listening although i'm not sure how much i can rmbr.

on a happier note, blanche and i spent a wonderful time exploring the central lib, sitting in betw racks of books talking abt drama serials, and testing the quality of the soundproof glass doors of the "Chat point", which were little colourful cubicles meant for people to talk on their phone inside. At first glance, i thought it was meant for colour therapy so tt people can go relax inside it. haha..

adding to the previous post, whitney was supposed to come shopping with us too but tt poor girl ate some wrong food and couldn't join us, last minute kinda thing.

2006-05-08T02:02:00.000+08:00

Went shopping with ouyang on saturday. Wow, i've never seen a guy shop like this before. amazing! fun fun.. haha! we wanted to watch m.i.3 but all tics were sold out. walked all the way from lido to cineleisure to check if they have tics there. no chance either. So what else but continue shopping?! haha..

interesting conversation:
o:"hey what do you think of that tie?"
a:"hmm...not very nice."
o:"ok, i shall take it!"
a:"?!"

hahahahaha....
Then its dinner at little india. we ate at this new restaurant or do you call it an eatery? oh whatever.. main point is the murtabak there is really nice and worth trying. Thanks for the meal, dude!

Bought my sis her birthday present. yay!

2006-05-06T02:54:00.000+08:00

writing at weird hours again.
I dun wanna talk abt results but thanks to everyone who offered help. truly appreciate.

Theory exam in 6 hours time and i'm still memorising stuff tt i studied in sec 1 mep. Range, clef used, pitch, tone quality, technique of all orchestral instruments.... Finally, i see the difference betw my sis's studying technique and mine. We don't usu sit down and study together since we are 7 yrs apart so she has already grad super long ago. But this time, we will be taking the same exam, same teacher, same day and same time. Woah, after revising a few times, she decided to sleep at 10pm whereas i just started studying at 11pm. :(

2006-05-04T17:47:00.000+08:00

i can't bear to look at that page any longer.
However, i'm suprisingly calm.

2006-05-03T22:19:00.000+08:00

A new silent piano! Haha! i was complaining so much when my sis was practising, she decided to buy the silent piano. No wonder singaporeans like to complain..you really do see some results. However, my living room seems much smaller now cos the piano is bigger than my previous model. Not that the room was very big to begin with, so when you have 2 black bulky instrument side by side, organ and piano, it seems even worse.

had to wake up at 10.30am today for music lesson. Super duper tired..usu i wake up at 1.30pm or even later. Haha! pig.. Yawned at least 3 times during my lesson. Sigh.. i sleep at 3am nearly everynight. doing what? i dunnoe too! haha!

2006-04-30T01:21:00.000+08:00

Met up with whitney and ouyang for dinner on friday. Thai food for dinner and then chocolate fondue at Haagen-Dazs. Yummy! Haha! What a pig! *OinkOink*

On sat, my mum and i went to clementi yamaha to watch the heats for electone festival 2006. Erm, i didn't find it really interesting cos i can't see anything. haha! So we left after hearing abt 8 kids in the junior section perform. Hopefully the actual competition will be much more exciting. Never had a chance to participate in these kinda comp cos i'm not a yamaha student. Plus i had a bad experience playing for macs during cny last yr.

Oh no.. theory exam in a week's time.

2006-04-25T22:55:00.000+08:00

Yay! Phantom of the opera soundtrack! I just felt this urge to buy it when browsing through the rows of cds in hmv today. I lurve watching musicals and then buy the soundtracks to slowly savour the wonderful songs, but i failed to catch the phantom when they performed in sg, which was like yrs, yrs ago.

One of my favourites: Chang & Eng. I'm so proud of it cos its a local production and it makes you think, hmm.. our actors can sing too! Familiar faces, familiar names. Isn't tt wonderful?! haha! Plus, the songs are really lyrical and they linger in your head till long past the show ended.

Went to an electone concert on saturday with my family. Free tics cos my sis teaches in yamaha during her free time. Its supposed to familiarise her with the teaching method, according to our teacher. Hehe.. Its really quite fun to teach music. Oh back to the concert, we realised tt it was actually for the JMC(junior music course) students when we were already seated in the auditorium. No astonishing performance but we were treated to lots of disney songs. Haha! Its really a wonderful moment, when you enter the world of the kids again. No worries, no stress, where the world is simply beautiful. Except tt it was really noisy cos they were all jumping everywhere. Well, these concerts make music lessons interesting. According to the mc, its to let kids " learn music in a concert style". Attending music lessons wouldn't have been such a torture if they had these stuff 13 yrs ago. Haha!

2006-04-24T15:28:00.000+08:00

Prayer from Hutchinson:
From inability to let well alone;
from too much zeal for the new
and contempt for what is old;
from putting science before art,
and cleverness before wisdom;
from treating patients as cases; and
from making the cure of the disease more
grievous than the endurane of the same,
Good Lord, deliver us!

2006-04-24T01:53:00.000+08:00

Conducted our very first biomed training in vj on friday. Its really nice to know tt we are contributing to the sch tt helped us achieved where we are today. We were on the swing for so long tt i feel myself still swinging up and down as i sit in the classroom. haha! Then its dinner at katong with xue ting and wan qin, followed by cakes as dessert at secret recipe in siglap. We wanted to have a food trail till the next morning but we doubt our stomach can take it. So, what other things can you do? K Box-ing! Haha! By the time we finished, mrts and buses have already stopped their services and it was raining rather heavily, so...its back to my hse! Haha! We spent the night watching vcds and snacking. I had a great time, girls!

Nothing much happened during the weekend except for a wonderful dim sum brunch at this restaurant called "Teahouse" today, near far east square. Yummy! Ha!

2006-04-19T02:54:00.000+08:00

Had dinner with anna, whit and the rest today. It was really filling since its a buffet. Duh. haha! But when all the others were full, i still had space in my stomach, not including the fundus of course. Wonder why i am suddenly able to eat so much. Control, control. I must admit, however, tt the food was great in quantity but average in quality. I think i've tasted better. Neverthesless, we still had lots of fun. Haha!

Back home, my mood just went all the way down down down planning for biomed quiz. Was really irritated by the fact tt very few people volunteered to help. What happened? I remember my ex principal in st nics emphasing tt we have to "ying2 shui3 si1 yan2". I want to give back to vj, do my part as a victorian. What abt the rest? I doubt my words mean anything to them. Whatever! Why do i even bother?!

Argh! I have so many things to do. Start studying for exams, do tons of theory papers, prepare for biomed. I have to get my distinction for theory! Since i'm not gd academic wise, i better be gd in music, i hope. Haha! But tts not really possible since i only managed to scrape pass my organ gr.8 in j1. In the end, my teacher made me take the exam again.

2006-04-18T02:09:00.000+08:00

Argh! I can't sleep! Its 2.09am now and wat am i still doing in front of the comp desperately trying to find some games tt doesn't require any brain works?! Haha. I'm so glad wan qin is still awake too so at least i've got someone to talk to. According to tt girl, its still considered early to sleep. Haha! Okie, i don' t think i'm tt extreme but usu by this time i'll feel rather sleepy unlike today. Someone explain to me why is it tt i get the ugly dark eye rings and not tt girl? So bad tt even concealers dun work if i even bother to put it on. Hmph..jealous! Haha!

Can't wait for dinner at noble house with whit, anna and the rest tmr evening, oops i mean today. Haha!

2006-04-14T23:38:00.000+08:00

Realised tt my past posts sounded really sad and gloomy. Okie. I'll stop dwelling over it but how is tt ever possible? Watever! Happy angie is back! Yahoooo!

Was reading yun's blog.. I miss her so much! Girl, can you pls repeat when you are coming back again? I know you've said tt a thousand times but your dear friend here has a deteriorating memory. Hahaha!

I wanna rollerblade, cycle, swim, play tennis, badminton with all my friends again.

2006-04-13T19:17:00.000+08:00

Alright, viva lists for all 3 subjects are out. So what if my name is not on any of it? It only means tt i'm going for straight supp for all of them. Sigh! Oh well.. nevermind. Its not the end of the world yet but i'm definitely preparing for the worst. How i wish my name is on the viva list so at least i know where i stand.

Had a fun day in sch yesterday. Weili was really funny. Blanche and melvin kept using sign languuge to communicate. I felt like a huge lightbulb, sorry b and m. Haha! Nevertheless, i am really thankful for their help. Joined blanche in the viva histo review class conducted by raj and at the end of it, i talked to raj again to ask abt supp paper. Was panicking after hearing wat he said but according to jon he was only answering my questions, not trying to hint something. Oh nevermind, I've got selective hearing, only negative stuff get into my ear.

Was at this thai temple today and there was this bunch of people "playing with water". What a conincidence, its the Water Festival today. Is tt wat you call it? I only know its called po shui jie in chinese. Anyway, mummy and i wanted to just walk through the crowd to the other end but when we reached, we looked like we just fell into the pool. Ahh! These people dun just splash water! They will come up to us with a bucket of water, pull our collars and pour everything onto us. So chaotic. Haha! Was drenched inside out but it was fun.

Happy Easter to all and enjoy the long weekend!

2006-04-10T22:55:00.000+08:00

Serene said to me today:
"Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best , and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Live in the faith that the whole world's on your side so long as you're true to the best that's in you!"

I have to agree with prof raj, i am a girl with no self-confidence, a girl who never stops doubting herself. A bubbly kid, chubby and happy all the time, all this a facade.
Negative thoughts flood my head. I'm slowly losing hope in everything, losing faith in myself.

No one can save me, no one landed me in this plight. I have myself to blame.

I hope i don't give up!

2006-04-10T11:26:00.000+08:00

worried, worried, worried ! Going to sch to check out the viva namelist later. Will i see my name or the ever so familiar matric number on the list? Ahhhh! I just want to hibernate, escape from this world, escape form reality.

My life is full of question marks now. Will i pass? Will i get retained? Do i start preparing for viva or supp? Should i stop watching vcds? What will i be in the future, doctor, no, doctor, no, doctor? Maybe its just a transient period?

Believe in miracles! I guess tts all tt i can do. God Bless!

2006-04-09T22:28:00.000+08:00

Found out a shocking piece of news today. Was at the manzda showroom and when i was ready to test drive the rx 8, i found out tt it is a manual operated car!!! Argh! I love tt model! This is the first time i regretted having an autocars-only-licence. Sigh! Visited a few showrooms today. Toyota, nissan, manzda...cars are definitely getting more expensive.

Supp paper timetable is out on mednet and anat dept is gonna publish the viva list tmr! Oh no! I'm seriously worried! Boohoo! I so regret not studying hard enough..maybe i'm just stupid. Watever it is, i just wanna get promoted!!

2006-04-07T23:17:00.000+08:00

Yeah! Haven't had such a stress-free day for super long. Haha! Went bowling with serene, xt, blanche and melvin. My bowling sucks man, i just can't get back to the good old days. Oh wait, was i even gd before? Haha! Today's thumb release was super wrong so i went to the pro shop to check if there are any prob with my ball. Afterall, i've not bowled for at least 8 mths. The pro shop guy is so nice, he corrected my way of release and offered me his lane and game to play. Apparently, he was watching how we were playing just now so he knew where i went wrong. Hmm..no wonder he is working in the pro shop, cos he is so pro. The best part was, he is quite cute, even though xt thinks he has the poser look. I think tt he has style. Ha! Seriously, he is not the typical poser you know. Then came this uncle who is this guy's fren and both of them kindly offered to be my coaches of the day. Haha! Either i'm too lousy tt they cant stand it anymore or maybe it was cos they knew my ex coach. Aniwae, they are really nice people.

After tt, we went for dinner at cafe cartel and then it was back to the bowling alley again. Haha! We hands were just itchy.. haha! unfortunately i only managed to play another 1 game cos it was really warm inside and my hands were too tired to even have a proper swing. Nevertheless, i had a fun filled and relaxing day out today! :)

2006-04-07T13:31:00.000+08:00

This is so unfair. Argh! The more she dosen't want me to go out, the stronger is my desire to go!! Unfortunately, i have no money in my wallet. Boohoo... sigh! Quick! Someone! Donate to the "save-angeline-foundation" Haha!

2006-04-05T22:45:00.000+08:00

So its over for everyone but me! Shit! I am so going for straight supp paper. Went to the doc today, 2 days of mc(but since there is no school tmr, i told the nurse to change it to 1 day) plus a lecture from the doc abt not eating my med. Can't believe my mum actually joined forces with him. One conclusion: they are so naggy! Seriously, taking the med is making me really really fat and i'm already so fat. Xt, its not a superficial reason k?! Haha! Alright, so he is ordering the radioctive iodine from uk and i can't believe it costs 800 bucks for one stupid pill and another 400 for admin fees! Then he continued rattling on and on, and i suddenly recalled our a levels physics abt the lead box to store radioactive material and all the whole topic on radioactive stuff. Haha! Amazing! Aniwae, i'm so not going for it cos it'll make me even fatter! No way, not over my dead body.

2006-03-27T12:55:00.000+08:00

Went to sch for a physio CA review today. Lecture lasted only 20 mins and i was late for school by 10 mins. So 20-10 =10mins. Darn! I travelled all the way just to attend a 10 min lecture. Dotz. . Then, its lunch with serene at NUH. While eating chicken rice, my spoon flew all the way to the extreme right of the table. It was orginally on my left hand and i was sitting on the extereme left of the table. Gosh..i'm so embarassed. We couldn't stop laughing. Haha! Maybe its some spinal reflex, maybe the spoon was possesed. haha! Why am i so capable of embarrasing myself infront of the public? Haha! My life is interesting, except for the mugging of course. Maybe i do have angelman sydrome. Haha! I still rmbr all my friends staring at me when the lecture covered this disease in the lecture some time ago.

Some syptoms:
Delayed motor development, such as delay in sitting, crawling and walking. (nope..i mean i hope not! How to rmbr?)
Speech problems. (sometimes)
Jerky, puppet-type movements. (Ah...tt explains the flying spoon)
Stiff-legged walking style. (maybe tts why i fall so often, accident-prone)
Hand flapping. (hmm...tt sounds like the sealion i saw in the zoo)
Hyperactive behaviour. (yes..definitely!!)
Loving, happy and social demeanour. (Yaya! Happy happy!)
A child easily moved to laughter. (i guess i dun have to explain the laughter part. Haha! I usu make the most noice in the theatre while watching a comedy)
Intellectual disability. A child with Angelman syndrome will have delayed development in all areas, and disability is severe in most cases. (oh man! I totally have to agree with this! Tt explains the lousy grades. Haha! )

Haha! Just joking!!

2006-03-24T20:13:00.000+08:00

I'm drowning! Struggling hard to survive med sch. Hmm..wait, am i trying hard enough in the first place? Haiz...pros in 9 days time but why am i still slacking? Die liao la!

Aniwae...sis just got back from perth and brought back lots of rock candy. Yummy yummy but i'm pretty sure i need the dentist after finishing all of it. Hehe...i'm notorius at the clinic for having alot of cavities. The first thing he sent me for when i visit him at the clinic is definitely an x-ray. Then its time to dig, dig and dig for cavities. There was this time when my dentist just simply can't believe that he can't find any cavities, so he looked again and again and was only happy when he found a small little cavity! Hello sir, i do brush my teeth! Haha..aniwae, he is a nice guy. Watched me grow up. Hmm..but the braces din really work, maybe cos i had mine when i was pri 5, the wisdom teeth weren't even out yet.

2006-03-19T13:50:00.000+08:00

Physio make up CA on tues and i'm only 1% done with my revision for it. Shit! Argh! I'm forever so tired and can sleep 3 times a day. Gosh! Shldn't i have insomnia? Why is it tt it only takes 1min for me to doze off? haha!

Just got back from piano lesson at yamaha, but this time i am there as a relief teacher. Hehe! Had 3 interesting students today.

1st student: 30+ yrs old, took a really long time to read notes and is afraid of pressing on the keyboard cos of phobia of making mistakes. Only advice is wat my bowling coach used to tell me "Just do it!"

2nd student: 10 yrs old girl, from a well known pri sch. Extremely confident and full of herself. Walked into class and started singing her choir pieces. Hello, this is a piano class, not a vocal lesson! Has an attitude problem!
me:"ok. lets try both hands for this song."
girl:"Don't want!"
i so wanna slap her face!

3rd student: 6 yrs old boy, extremely quiet with an appearance like a poor little innocent sheep. Sings in only one tone, even with the piano accompanying and sounding ever so lyrical.
me:" ok braynt, wat is this note?"
boy: stares blankly back at me. (moments of silence)
me:" ok braynt, lets play, la do ti la soh"
boy: la ti do la * 5 times
*faint*

Nevertheless, i enjoy teaching more than studying. Haha!

2006-03-17T14:13:00.000+08:00

palpitations, palpitations. Can't study! Ahhhhhhhh!
Even propranolols aren't working!

2006-03-16T21:12:00.000+08:00

Totally wasted my day today! Up till this time, i am still studying my first topic of the day, enzymes! What the crap...i simply can't concentrate!I sure need some drugs to improve my attention span. Any recommendations anyone?

When i decided i can't study today, i went to orchard to get dad's bdae present. Walked ard for many hours and still can't decide whether i shld buy the polo tee from burberry or lacoste. In the end, i bought neither of them cos i found out tt my dad still has a whole cupboard of unused polo tees when i called mummy to ask for her opinion. Its interesting how my dad leaves his fashion choices to my mum who dresses him in white polo tees most of the time.

Oh well, since i can't go home empty handed and also to satisfy my desire to spend, i bought home 20 durian puffs from goodwood park hotel. Haha! Yummy yummy!

2006-03-14T21:45:00.000+08:00

Could it be a mistake right from the start?
Maybe i just don't belong here.

I should have worked harder, give it my best
and stop finding excuses for the lousy grades.

I'm so totally disappointed with myself! Argh!
Why is it that i regret only after it happened?

I strongly believe tt miracles do happen and till now, i still believe in it!
Dear God! Pls grant me a miracle!

"We are going to the zoo zoo zoo, how 'bout you you you" ...
Haha..had an interesting outing to the zoo today with xue ting and wan qin. Not the usual place to have a girl's day out. It was like going back to primary sch, we were all set for our excursion. Umbrella, caps, drinks, potato chips, cameras, maps, insect repellant, sun block.... Haha!We saw the rhinos fighting till they started to bleed. Animal behaviours. An added advantage of going to the zoo today: you get to see Mr. President! Haha! I'm serious! I saw president nathan on the tram. I can't believe no one ard me recognised him until they heard this crazy girl shouting "hey tts the president! Look! look! 'where? where?' There! there!" . Haha! I must say tt i'm quite a patriotic citizen even though the thought of migrating did occur before.

For dinner, we went to have yummy crabs at this restaurant to celeb dad's bday in advance cos sis will be in perth on the actual day. Guess who i saw this time..Benedict goh. The host for the old gameshow "the pyramid game". Wow..i must say he looked as young as i remember him to be from tt show. Really cute!

2006-03-11T14:46:00.000+08:00

Just got back frm st nic's fun fair. It was ok.. and i stayed for the mep performance. Watched 4 performances. Not very impressed. Haha! Sucky thing was tt when i got to my car, i found my first ever summon on the windscreen. So so pissed. The auntie told me to park there. I shld have parked at ave 2, even though its a main road with double yellow lines on both sides. Nearly 50 cars were there and there wasn't a single summon issued. Sigh! There goes my whole week's allowance. Boohoo!

2006-03-10T00:47:00.000+08:00

Oh no.. Heard tt the profs had finished marking our anat spots exam paper! I'm very very worried! Argh! Spots was tough. Actually, i think its just that i'm not extremely well prepared for it. Plus, i was really tired tt morning due to lack of sleep and stress. My brain wasn't really working well, resulting in many many careless mistakes. So angry with myself. I can actually think of the correct ans and yet write a wrong ans down. Only found out when i tried recalling wat i wrote. My brain and hands just don't coordinate! Argh! So shitty! think i made a least 5 careless mistakes. Haiz! I hope a miracle will happen!

Sis bought a new silent piano yesterday! Can't wait to try it but it won't be delivered so soon. She got so sick of me shouting at her to stop playing it when i'm trying to study for my CAs and also when i'm watching tv since both of the tv and piano are in the living room. Great! So now she can play all the horrible exam pieces without polluting my ears. Not tt i don't pollute hers, but i hardly touch the piano now. I prefer the organ. Haha!

Went back to sngs yesterday for lunch. Yummy food. Orange bowl noodles, sheng mian, laksa without the noodle, just taupok, malay rice, fried wanton. Everything for just the 2 of us. Haha! Gluttons = us !! Met Ms oh, my very friendly mep teacher and my form teacher, Mdm Kor. Mdm kor wasn't tt friendly. Maybe cos it happened to be her last day at sngs. Can't wait to go back for the fun fair on sat!

2006-02-28T19:46:00.000+08:00

Din go to sch today. Regret trying out the new alternate-days-pills system. haha! I can feel my hands trembling when holding the pen. Haha! Seriously lagging very badly in the preparations for the upcoming CA. Thank you to all my frens who kept reminding me to study. And to whit and xt, without the 2 of you, i would have prob died of infection or the thyroid thingy by now. Haha! Oh and i can't seem to stop eating these days. The more i snack, the hungrier i get. haha! Miss piggy is back!

2006-02-26T13:19:00.000+08:00

A new sofa! Yay! More excuses to be a couch potato. Cut my hair yesterday and the hairdresser suggested rebonding it which i strongly objected! Tried straightening my hair once and i looked as though i just got back from chemotherapy. Totally sucks! Luckily it was the temporary type or i will just hibernate at home. Oh and i found out tt no matter where i go..famous salons or the 10bucks kind..my hair still sucks at the end. Conclusion: its not the hairdessers' skills tt suck. Its my hair and my fat, round, wide face and a big head tt contributed to the disaster. Argh! Okay..so my computer screen has just turned purple again and the tv turned blue. Haha!

2006-02-21T17:41:00.000+08:00

Quite an exciting day today. We had the genetics quiz and our grp made it to the finals! Everyone's adrenaline was running high..leading initially, we watched our score slide all the way down to the lowest amg the 4 grps. Haha! Nevertheless..it was an exciting game. Not tt i contributed to any of the ans though. Haha! Oh and when i got back to the lt, i saw this particular person stepping on the back of my chair. The place where i'll lean on. So damn inconsiderate. Obviously i told her to put her leg down and i can't believe she went"sorry. i din know its YOUR chair!" What the... Hello...even if its not my chair..its still not nice to put your god damned smelly shoes on it! Argh! So disgusted..why am i even toking abt her?!

2006-02-19T00:35:00.000+08:00

Just watched the movie Kate & Leopold. I love the way leopold articulates each syllabus, the fluency of his speech and of course, his gentlemanliness. Amazing! Why dun we see it now? Ok..maybe we do but not very often. Such as standing up when a lady leaves the table. I won't expect tt seriously. Haha! What abt holding the chair back for the lady while she sits down? A form of respect. Hardly even see waiters do tt in restaurants now too.. we're living in a world where everything is so advanced and convenient, unfortunately, we lack the most basic skill.

2006-02-16T13:30:00.000+08:00

Mya left yesterday. Sob! We made her a ppt presentation, summarising our 2 yrs of jc life. The photos brought back wonderful memories..despite remebering how i hated the sch cos i was a 2nd intaker. Only anna and i went to send her off cos the rest of the yayas are already in other parts of the world. Haiz.. another sucky thing, i'm given another course of the damn bloody big antibiotic. mistook it for an eraser tt day when i left it on the table. haha..biohazard..i passed the flu to my mum, sis, xue ting and serene..everyone within 2m except for whit. Wah..her immune system is damn powerful..maybe cos she exercises alot..shall join her for gym one day...but i doubt tt day will ever come..hehe

2006-02-14T21:20:00.000+08:00

Yay! Bought a new printer today! I actually tot that the duplex print means 2 print heads working at the same time..haha! Ignorant fool.. Had lunch at funan and saw many smartly dressed working adults there since it is pretty near shenton way. I like shenton way! Always dreamt of working there oneday when i was a little kid. You get to wear nice formal attire,work in offices on the upper floors with a view of the sg river..personal secretary..lots of people attending and reporting to me..wah.shiok! Hmm..i guess all i'll ever see in the future are hospital beds and i have to attend to patients. Unless of course, i get kicked out of med sch..*touchwood* choy choy! Strongly believe tt miracles do happen! Quick..set up the yaya corporation!

2006-02-12T23:45:00.000+08:00

James left for melbourne today. Din send him off cos he left from m'sia. Haiz...soon, i'll be sending mya off too. Even though we dun meet up very often, at least you know that they are still somewhere nearby, a phone call away. Well, its not gonna be the same again. 4yayas to begin with and now we're only left with 2. Plus james and alvin..All the best peeps! Till we meet again!

2006-02-11T21:26:00.000+08:00

Spent the entire day in front of the tv...oh no! I totally wasted the whole day and CAs are coming but i've not started studying yet. Argh! So so dead! Was actually thinking of going back to vj to help out with the preparations for biomed quiz but have decided not to cos i dun wanna cause them to lose, knowing my limited knowledge..haha! I shall just give them my moral support..Somebody help quickly. Other jcs have already started their training long time ago!

2006-02-10T23:33:00.000+08:00

Went to nydc for lunch with xueting cos of her desperate desire for their cakes. Initially i only wanted to order just a salad and have a healthier meal than xt but in the end, i had both salad and cake. Dun even tok abt the main course. What a pig haha! Anat prac was very short today, we ended abt 40 mins earlier. But my prof sounded really impatient today which sorta irritated me. Then, in search of a new printer, i went with xt to suntec and we had yummy pratas there.. really gd! Something i noticed everytime i'm waiting to get into the lift or mrt is that when the door opens, people just rush in without letting the passengers get out.In the past, there were courtesy campaigns going on abt letting passengers alight first. Whats happening to our society now? Gracious society? I think we've got lots to do! On the other hand, i'm glad to see that the salespeople are getting more friendly. They greet and thank you. Of course, we have to do our part.

2006-02-08T20:11:00.000+08:00

CAs are just round the corner but why am i still not motivated to study? In fact, everytime i open the textbook, i feel the energy being drained out of every single cell. Seems like i've still not learnt my lessons! Somebody knock some sense into me! My phone is screwed. Only received last night's msgs in the afternoon. Will be getting a new sofa set in 2 weeks time. Yay! Found out that ms lim will be leaving for japan soon with one of her student. Its to kinda compensate them for preparing for the electone festival which din take place in the end. Isn't tt just fantastic? No stress from the comp and you get your trip fully sponsored by the music sch! So so envious! Unfortunately, i doubt my turn will ever come. Haha! Tons of people can perform better than me!

2006-02-07T18:22:00.000+08:00

Boring day in school.. the same routine over and over again! Wanted to prepare for Prof kaur's anat tutorial tmr but ended up sleeping all the way till 5pm. What a pig! Haha! Heard from xue ting that she is quite particular abt people not doing their tutorials so..oh no! Bad omen! Realised that i sounded very childish yest but hmm..what do you expect from the youngest child? haha!

2006-02-06T20:54:00.000+08:00

Tried the new ear therm on my sis, think i pushed it too hard into her ext acoustic meatus. She screamed so loudly into my ear and pushed my hand away. So angry with her! Plus, mum scolded me for playing with the therm and sis' stupid ear but din scold her for shouting at me and nearly making me drop the newly bought therm. Hmph!Bias ! I am so darn pissed! Hence, I'm now alone in my rm. No one shall enter unless they declare their names out loud and i only let innocent people like my auntie in. Hmph!

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern.
A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well.

What City Do You Belong In?

2006-02-05T14:33:00.000+08:00

Why can't medicine be designed such that it'll diffuse thru the diff layers and enter our systems when they are placed near our skin. Somebody ought to do a research on it and save me from the agony of swallowing those huge pills. I'm taking forever to put it into my mouth..argh! Aniwae..spent the whole of yest and this morning reading this book called "apocalipstick". A romantic novel..not too bad except tt the ending is quite expected.. you know..happily ever after. Oh and i watched ella enchanted again..still as funny. Love Anne Hathaway..esp in princess diaries! Ooh..i lurve princess diaries! Have got the entire book collection!

2006-02-04T10:46:00.000+08:00

Aha! So its just an infection. False alarm. Yay! Just received the news from the doc early in the morning. Apparently, he promised to call me yest as soon as he received the report. However, due to some unknown reason, the report never came and he forgot abt it. Only rem it at night so he had to go back to his clinic to check and thats when he only gave me the call. Felt so bad that i made him go all the way back to mt. e from wherever he lives. Haha! Aniwae.. I'm so bored at home..not in the mood to study. Only in the mood to eat and sleep and of course..watch tv. Can't live a day without the tv. Haha!

2006-02-03T20:51:00.000+08:00

Felt so sick this morning. Sore throat plus high fever ( 39.3). So, i decided to go to my family doctor who suspected agranulocytosis and hence suggested going to the A&E dept. How suay can i get?! It only happens to 1 in 5000 or is it 1 in 30000 people( dunnoe..but it is very rare) who is on antithyroid drug. Unwilling to join the long queue, i went to my endocrinologist and had my bld taken there. Then i was sent home and told to wait for the report. Slept all the way till dinner. Haiz..

Just got a call from the doc who said that he still hasn't heard from the lab. But, no news is good news. So i'm pretty safe now. Haha! I'm so amazed by the effectiveness of the fever drug he prescribed..feeling so much better now. However, since i've to stop taking the thiamazole and propranolol, my heart is beating damn bloody fast. Haha! Shall go sleep again..

2006-02-02T21:29:00.000+08:00

I am so tired...haiz! My plane landed at 11 pm last night and i only slept at 2am. Woke up at 6.30am for sch, had 2 lectures, 2 hrs of pbl, then had to wait for tutorial to start at 3.30pm and then after that, music lesson at 6pm. Shag! I'm gonna sleep now! Zzzz...

2006-02-02T00:38:00.000+08:00

Just landed in singapore from bangkok. So amazed that i can actually recognise bedok jetty and the condos ard there from my plane window as it desends. Aniwae..bangkok is really a shopping paradise! Relatively cheap compared to the prices here. Latest conquered victory: 5 bags, a pair of shades, 4 shirts, 2 skirts, a pair of pants, 10 pairs of earings, lots of food and many more in 5 days! I shld have stayed longer..haha! Bargain is an art. And from there, i've learnt a little of their languange. Beautiful! Unfortunately, everytime i try to ask the price in thai, they'll reply in english. Really wonder if i have the word "tourist" carved on my forehead..Ha! Oh and i realised that in nearly every trip that i went, i would either trip and fall or embarass myself at least once. Eg. Fell down at the floating market while trying to help daddy take a photo. Luckily not into the river! And in aus, trip and fell when getting out of the cave....countless. Plus, i dropped 3 things consecutively when having lunch at this shopping centre yesterday. First, 2 glasses of coconut juice all over my feet,a whole box of dim sum on the chair and finally, the toothpick and tissue paper dispenser. The cleaners there must really hate me! Haha!
