Ubin Outing...

erm... finally able to blog liao... dun noe wad was wrong in the afternn... but anyway... 9 pple turned up for the ubin trip today... haha... deserve mention in this entry: yw, cj, wk, jy, wx, set, jas, soon kueh n me... not too bad a grp size after all, we realised... yup... n for the benefit of those who dint go today *it was such a pity*... i shall giv a write-up on wad happened today:
1) met at tanah merah mrt station... haha... surprisingly... jas wasn't the latest to arrive as i predicted... tho strictly speakin he was one of the last lah... haha... n of course... set dint fail to surprise us wif his branded HUGO BOSS bag n sleeveless shirt... haha... cool... :)
2) boarded bus to travel to changi beach... ok... the bus was super crowded... n we waited quite long for it anyway... so after like 30min bus journey we finally arrived at changi village... where we had a quick breakfast of nasi lemak for the guys... haha... n we were on our way to the jetty...
3) ferry, or rather, bumboat trip took abt 10min or so... the engine was so nosiy tt we had to raise our voices when speakin to each other even tho we were less than 2m apart frm each other... coated ourselves wif our armour: insect repellant... n it was quite an experience...
4) reached ubin... hired 9 suspension bikes for 7 bucks each for the whole day... quite a gd deal lah... tho the auntie refused to cut the price any further... den had a gd time tryin to teach the gals how to use the gears... *actually... i also juz learned today... but i guess i faked it off quite well???* haha... n wif tt... we set off on our bicycle journey proper... :)
5) erm... due to limited memory space... i cant rmb exactly where we went in detail... so i shall jus mention abt the more significant places... ok... we went to the beach where i tink the class pple went the last time as well... took a few pics there... n had a great time crappin abt how a particular chinese man went into the toilet n turned out to be an Indian cleaner... haha... *well... the truth is tt he left lah... but we dint c him go...*... after much bustling arnd... we finally took our photos... den headed off to a nearby hut to buy drinks... n i saw my first wild boar there... wah... it is quite huge sia... haha... ;)... wif regards to the concern tt our bikes might get stolen... quotin jas: " well... its not our i/c anyway..." *wx used her i/c to rent the bikes for us... so if anythin goes wrong... well... wx is responsible...* haha... we r soooo evil!!!
6) cycled to a construction site... realised tt we cant go any further n decided to turn back... the rest sped very fast... n yw was laggin behind... oops... n she fell... but luckily it wasn't serious... but wad happened was tt the two of us got lost frm the big grp... n upon returnin to the cross-road... decided to take a risk n go the path which we tot the rest will go... but after goin along tt path for some time... realised smth amiss... cos by now the big grp shld hav realised tt we were missin... n accordin to wad they shld hav done... cj shld well be on his way to look for us... but he wasn't... so we headed back to the cross-roads... where cj came along quite soon... n told us tt we were actually on the rite path... argh!!! if we had gone on further... we wld hav seen the rest... haha... so we took a lot of yuan wang lu... attempted to climb up a steep uphill slope followed by a downhill which totally felt like a roller-coaster ride... haha... :)
7) decided to hike up to the quarry top... at first we were worried tt we will be lost... so yw drew some "muah chee" stuff on the leaves as we walked along... in the end... the hike was a very short one... but the view we had of the quarry was awesome... the lake was very blue... n the whole picture was juz so... haha... erm... lost for words... haha... but we took pics there as well... haha...
8) erm... realised tt part 7 is b4 the part where the missing in action episode took place... but nvm lah... things r not in chronological order here... :) after reachin the thai temple... decided to take a trek deep into the forest to c where it wld lead us to... along the way... commented abt how mosquitoes can easily breed in the numerous puddles of water there... yup... n wif the recent Dengue fever scare... this is absolutely not tolerable!!!... haha... but anyway... we dint manage to trek to the end... cos it was startin to rain n we cld c no end to the trek as yet... n set was moanin abt how hungry he was... haha...
9) chionged back to the jetty... where we had our lunch at the seafood restaurant there... n had a gd time crappin abt a lot of cu su stuff... n of course... watchin 3 cats do their "threesome" act... hahaha... super funny... guess we were most prob the most noisy grp there... hahaha... yup... followin tt was home cos we really dint hav much energy left to continue our exploration... :)... my overall comments for the outin was it was really fruitful n fun... those who dint join us really missed out quite some fun lor... hahaha... ok... shall sign off here... :)

Myth...

haha... went out wif irene n gl today... went kbox first... where i seriously tink we got shortchanged for the fact tt we dint make a reservation b4 hand... so our time was only frm 11 to 1 instead of 11 to 2... n we got chased out lor... quite sao xing... haha... but nvm... the singin session was super funny also... got to sing songs of different eras... haha... n first time i heard my da jie n er jie's voices thru the mike... hahaha... but it was quite nice... so must train up some more... :)... den after tt went to watch jackie chan's "the myth"... quite a nice show... funny at some scenes as well... haha... strongly recommended for u pple to watch... haha... :)... yup... im thoroughly enjoyin my wkend break... haha... n oh yes... 04S73ians... do be enthu for the ubin trip organised by jas leh... haha... i tink i will be goin... n dun let it end up wif only a few pple only... yup... to all: enjoy!!! :)

Hooray!!!

haha... my prelims r pseudo-over... tt means... officially... i still hav bio s tml... but deep down... ba... who cares man???... they r not markin it anyway... haha... so my mood is tt of a person who has finished the very last hc papers he will ever be doin in his jc life... went out wif the phy pple after paper today to NYDC at wheelock place to eat... haha... super hilarious time we had there... n i've noticed the benefits of sittin in the middle of the grp... so tt u can listen to both conversations goin on at either side n decide which side u want to tolk in... haha... hmm... but it was quite ex tho... i paid like 11+ bucks for my hawaiian pasta... which was quite ok lah... soon kueh n low low were unsatisfied wif their food... esp low low... he kept mumbling:" not nice one" while he was eatin... haha... den it was crazy convo time... tolked n crapped n laughed until my tears nearly came out... haha... i juz love it when 04S73ians crowd tgt in one table n start crappin... it always nva fails to make me laugh n laugh... tho i smtimes remain quite quiet... but den... haha... its juz so super funny!!!... ok... now for my post-prelim plans...
1) shall slp enuf to make up for all the lost slp time due to anxiety over the exam the nxt day... which was quite serious smtimes...
2) watch a movie... or go kbox... either one *cos i dun hav enuf money liao*... n i've recently found myself quite crazy over JJ lin jun jie's songs... now got one more additional fav to my list: hai4 pa4... quite an old song... but nonetheless... its still nice... :)
basically... i will be rottin till tue... where i will start my muggin mode again... n try to do up the bio revision papers... argh!!!... yup... but until den... haha... it shall be slack slack slack for me... :)... to all those who hav finished their papers... its been a tough battle... but we hav survived it... to those who still hav papers... jia you!!!... i will be waitin for u at the end of the battle... haha... yup... ;)

Mayb its time to change ur perspectives...

hmm... in the midst of all the exam stress n strife... i m here for a short while typin a small entry on a small blog tt exists in the wide wide world of the INTERNET... ok... sounds crappy... haha... but its juz tt i hav some tots which i tink i shld write down... it shld apply to some pple... since i only got those tots after readin some blogs... but den again... no one is obliged to take note of wad i say... :)... i guess sometimes things r not abt reciprocation *hope i spelt it rite... i always hav prob wif this word*... tt's a hard fact tt i told myself like how many moons ago... but im still strugglin to accept it... pple do tire when they r tryin to maintain relationships, frenships or wadever not... frustration sets in... partly becos we tink tt the other party is simply not interested, so y r we makin ourselves appear like silly little fools tryin so hard to show our concern only to c it end in apparent futility???... but den... to put in another way... when u first agreed to be his/her fren... its equivalent to signin a life-time agreement tt u will nva fail him/her as n when they nd u... tt's the promise of frenship to me... whether others can or bother to keep it or not is not my business... wad matters is tt im able to keep tt promise... so i guess its a change of perspective... look on the side of the other person sometimes... mayb they do not hav such an intention or did not intend to make u feel tt way... cos every action or gesture can yield a thousand interpretations... well... be sad abt it at first... den laugh it out n forget abt such issues n move on... its totally meaningless to ponder or tink abt it... simply cos no matter how much u tink... things wont change until u do smth abt it... yup... juz some random tots... sorry if it doesn't appear too coherent... :)... to all out there slayin the "exam demons" on the battlefield... gambatte!!!... the war will soon be over!!! :)

nva underestimate ur impact on another person... u nva noe how affected pple can be by the things tt u do... :(

Beaten, but definitely not down...

ok... today's chem paper was really bad... as usual... i panicked... n after tt... it was juz terrible... but as my entry title says... i will not be defeated by this... there's still paper 1 n 2 to bia for... tt's the optimistic view tt i guess will be able to support me on for the rest of this prelims... yup... jia you every1!!!
P.S: im glad for today... i hope things will get better... thx... :)

MAF 2005...

jus back frm MAF in sch... glad to say tt 20 out of 26 pple in our class turned up... tho not all were wif us... but its a gd sign... n guess every1 enjoyed it... esp wif crazy pple like jas comin up wif all sorts of funny ideas... haha... shall giv a brief update on wad went on for us:
1) met up wif jas, mz, set n xav for dinner at prince cafe... crapped quite a lot abt some mooncake n stuff over dinner... n we really finished it very fast... well... guess tt's wad u hav when a grp of guys eat tgt ba... haha...
2) went back to sch to discover tt no one else reached yet... *or rather... i dun noe where they went if they reached*... so loitered arnd at class bench... erene n soon kueh came... n we decided to go up to the higher floors so tt we can hav a better view... yw n cj came soon... followed by jy... who brought this tub of ice-cream which was very difficult to open... n when we finally opened it... the ice-cream inside was almost melted... hahaha... so we had a "nice" time gettin each other to eat... haha... but ltr got chased down by this PA gal... who was absolutely furious abt us standin in forbidden grounds... dotz... :(
3) met up wif the rest of the 04S73ians... hanged arnd at the central plaza n watched the light-up... it was nice... i hav some pics... courtesy of gl... den followin tt... we went over to tchs to sit arnd at the terraces... initally had this evil plan to scare those pple runnin on the track *cos we were dressed in black class tee*... hah... but cancelled it in the end... decided to explore the tower block classrms... but b4 we cld enter the ex-4E classrm... got caught by the security guard who scolded us for "threatenin" his ricebowl... :(... got sian diao n went back to hcjc side...
4) song session was absolutely hilarious... while we were singing songs... we did all kinds of round-abt circles... haha... every1 was laughin like mad... n we also played wif this small red balloon which kept flyin out of our boundaries... haha... but we were not as high as we were durin orientation... tt's wad i felt... followin was mass dance... pity hailing n soon kueh... who had to dance wif jas... he was absolutely funny... hahahah... after loiterin round for some time more... took a grp pic n went home... haha... so tt concludes MAF 2005 for us... :)

Fire lightup...

Muggin session at National Library

haha... went out wif da jie today to national lib to mug... being the late queen tt she is... i arrived much earlier... so i loitered arnd at the B1 level... when she came... went up to L7 to mug... wow... must say tt she's damn pro... juz walked past the guard holdin 1 big stack of notes lah... i cld nva hav done tt w/o the "sneaky" look on my face... :)... the environment there was perfect for muggin... did a whole lot of chem qns... nearly killed myself esp over the rj paper... it was so damn tough... :(... after muggin for like nearly 3 to 4 hrs... left to go mac's... *where jie nearly killed herself over the twisted fries n the lemon tango sauce... n her GIT is givin her probs now... wahahahahaha... wish u all the best for ur stomach... :)...*... oh... but when we were collectin our bags... there was this grp of guys who cldn't close their locker n kept scoldin the locker... it took me A LOT of effort to stop myself frm burstin out laughin rite in front of their faces... but they were so hilarious... hahahahaha... it was very hard controllin my laughter... :)... nxt time if i hav the chance i will go back there again... haha...

Stuck in the pit???

woke up today tinkin tt i will do better for my revision... wif this great hope in mind... embarked on doin my maths revision... but the truth proves otherwise... it only served to tear down my confidence even more... n now... i can say tt i almost totally freak out at the sight of area n vol. qns... tried to rebuild my confidence by doin some other stuff... slightly fruitful until i stumbled onto another qn which bogged my mind for half n hr w/o noein wad to do... if i cld hav a wish... i will pray for a miracle to happen so tt i can pass my prelims... tt goes for all subjects... esp GP... but nvm... read n heard some of the most idiotic comments tt some1 can ever tink of... in the newspaper... there was this comments section where this Mr X commented abt Project Superstar... which ended quite some time ago... n naturally... he has smth against Kelvin winnin... n he even speculated tt wif Kelvin's victory... more physically disabled pple will soon join such competitions... n he said tt it made the whole competition a joke... n he even raised the qn: "if Kelvin's voice can touch others... y cant the voices of other NORMAL pple touch others as well???... but they r out... " ok... not tt im some crazy staunch supporter of any1... *i jus go for gd singin n nice songs*... but being disabled doesn't mean tt he cant pursue his dreams rite???... every1, whether normal or disabled... has the right to pursue their own dreams... n i seriously dun c anythin wrong wif tt... if the nxt superstar competition sees more of such disabled GOOD singers... i dun c y not... so instead of the competition being a joke... i wld like to say tt this Mr X is a bigger joke himself... his writin shows his absolute "superiority tinkin" abt him being normal *or so i assume*... n the conclusion is: 1) the editor is stupid to hav put such a meaningless article in the newspaper... or 2) the newspaper simply lacks pple writin letters in... if tt's the case... den i will write in... the newspaper can relax on tt... den on the car wif my family to dinner... the radio was havin a discussion abt whether it is justified for Singapore to lend a helpin hand in the recent Katrina disaster tt hit US... some pple disagreed... with very foolish reasons... their main line of tot was tt since US is such a big bully... we shld not help them... oh... so u all mean tt the lives of thousands can be counted as insignificant n unworthy of help simply becos their leaders are tyrants???... n when one day we will nd their help... n they refuse to... these pple will simply say: 'there... c... US is such an unhelpful nation...'... ok... im smtimes equally pissed abt the bullyin tactics of the US... but den... we r not helpin the leaders... we r helpin the commoners... so pls bear tt in mind... dotz... i cant believe tt some pple can hav such selfish tinkin... :(

When disappointment sets in...

oh... suddenly realised tt by this time, my da mei shld be on her flight to england le... here's wishin her all the best in wadever she does over there n may she adapt quickly... yup... hope to c u soon again... ok... today was the day when i was so totally disappointed wif myself... mayb all along i had this high expectation of myself ba... but when u simply stare at the silly maths eqn n absolutely hav no inkling n idea as to how to approach it... when u get stuck at a certain step... n a moment of "enlightenment" puts u back to work only to work urself into the same dead end which u came to earlier... n it provides u wif further frustration until u almost feel like tearin tt silly piece of paper out... n as usual... my mood was very contagious... n every1 in my family felt it... dotz... im sorry for it... but it juz makes me feel so stupid... so dumb... a total crush of confidence... i juz hope tt i can rebuild this confidence in time... :(...
