we're all in this together~~ but hey! where's the end?

watched high school musical 3 with nina today! =D Quite a dreamy movie, with random bouts of happy songs. Hehe. Relatively enjoyable because it made me happier!

arrived practically 3 hours late at NUS today for centad... I feel really bad. Guilty guilty...=( Sorry everyone.
Hewei was very disappointed in our research, for it lacked thoroughness. It lacked depth. It lacked specific considerations pertaining to our robot.

meeting with mrs loh tomorrow got postponed because she has a meeting.

what to do about SSEF now???

Haiya! I am damn sick of doing research online already!!! >=(
Just don't comprehend what's going on, having to search for the meanings of acronyms on google every 2 or 3 lines, trying to learn something which I think is beyond my ability.

or is it?

"we live and we learn, to take one step at a time... there's no need to run...it's like learning to fly..."
- Jordin Sparks [one step at a time]

Taking one step at a time is comfortable. But time doesn't allow for it. We do need to run. Or rather SPRINT! Or even TAKE FLIGHT... Very soon.

Sorry Hewei, we have disappointed you time and again.
jiangying, lutheng, let's CHIONG ALL THE WAY IN DECEMBER! We can do this! =D


Hmm. Thinking about it, I still have to mug for SATs. Who ask me geh-kiang take 3 subject tests in 1 day huh. Doubt I would have any time left to finish the holiday packages. Sighhhhh...

If only there were potions in the world like in maplestory.

We would simply take a gulp, and feel energized again.

just some pics =)

usagipon from sanrio, melting you with her kawaii-ness.

a very sparkly necklace from nina's parents. They bought it during their holiday in malaysia if I'm not wrong. Thank you so much! =)

and what in the world could boredom compel me to do to my athena pullover?

it's clean and green... with two matching sleeves!

the new sleeve's over here!

check out the matching collar!

omg I can't believe the cheesiness of my captions above.

Yup. Anyway I just cut off the ends of the sleeves and part of the collar. I've wanted to do that for a really long time... ever since I bought the jacket, because it's so oversized.

Had to sew everything by hand, since sewing machines are too expensive. Hence the messy, unruly stitches splattered messily all over the edited parts of the jacket. Yeowch. But at least... wearing it is a more comfortable experience now. =D

I've been eating so much unhealthy food (cupcakes, cookies, strawberry milk ice, ice cream, oh the horror) lately that guilt has overcome me. I WILL RUN AT LEAST 2 ROUNDS OF THE SCHOOL TRACK TOMORROW MORNING TO BURN THE CRAP OFF MY CLOGGED ARTERIES!

hope y'all have fun this week! =D

what a coincidence

Was about to view the video Jen's group made for PW OP because I was damn bored and having insomnia. =p
And when I just clicked the play button, the "check yes juliet" song which was used in the video started to play at the EXACT SAME TIME on the radio.
(btw, I'm listening to perfect10 98.7fm. and no, the DJ did not announce beforehand that she was going to play this song)

muting my computer's speakers, I let the video play with the radio playing the song instead. Every word, every beat, every tune fit in perfectly as they did in the video. (kudos to jen for the editing, haha)

wah biang, so zun4!

is this merely a coincidence?

like shuhui and nina said, just 'shun qi zi ran'.
things will all turn out right in the end.

jen, don't worry too much about it. Hmm... I think you're just confused about your feelings. Give yourself a few more months to sort them out, feelings are intangible,invisible, and incredible stuff. I've got no experience at all in such stuff, so I can't help you either. I'm so sorry... But everything is going to be all right. =) Take care of your throat and don't go for training yet k.

letting you know that I exist!

tag replies in chronological order...

[jy] I hate programming in C too! So freaking complicated. But we must jiayou!!! We can do this! =D see you and LT on saturday!

[jen] as your friend it is also my duty to take care of you to the best of my abilities. do inform me of your health status k? =)

[shuhui] yay you're baking cookies!!! =D and omg you can bake apple pie? BAKE IT K! =D The whole of 6C will be waiting... hungrily.

[yiting] Erm I'll be baking cupcakes leh. But I will bring some cookies for you don't worry k!


biang, I miss programming in HTML. C and C++ == hell at this moment.

printf( "programming in C stinks big time!"\n);

see la, what C programming does to people.


Sorry jiangying and lutheng, I woke up with a debilitating headache today morning. Couldn't really walk properly because my head was spinning. =(
Or was it?

Anyway, I took a panadol and promptly went to sleep after an improper breakfast at 10am. Woke up later at 11.30am, groggy but not as dizzy as before. Just... the stone feeling.
Dragged my iron head to tampines mall at 12.30pm to meet julia and chunling! =D Had lunch at mos burger and then headed for the cinema to watch Quantum of Solace... an interesting movie for action-lovers but boring for storyline-lovers like me. Oh well. $6 for a ticket! Being a student is great! What more could I ask for? =P

Oh yar. I felt very weird in the cinema, because I was sitting next to this teenage couple. The two of them were... erm... communicating to each other physically very frequently.
euurghhhhhh! Don't spread your love to strangers sitting around you. It makes my spine shiver.

Jael couldn't make it today because she had to take care of her sick cousin. Haiya... our shijia reunion imcomplete. She is such a nice girl, right? Nevermind Jael, we can always meet up another day! =D

We had ice cream in macdonalds after the movie, and had a very long chat which brought up a lot of fond memories of our life in TKGS.

After that, I was telling chun about what happened to me on monday.

As I was lugging home some baking ingredients in the evening, this cute little indian girl who was playing near the swimming pool in my condo gazed up at me with her huge sparkly eyes and exclaimed, "HIE JIE JIE!!!".

Awhhhhh..... she always does that when she sees me.

My heart just melted faster than how it would liquefy when I see this person. (ya la you ALL know who it is already) ahhhh she is so cute! >_<>

Remembering that I still had to return home FAST to have dinner, I told her "sorry ah, jiejie need to go home first k? Byebye!!"

She replied silently, staring blankly at me. Maybe I was talking too fast for her to catch anything? I decided to just smile and wave goodbye to her.

As I walked away, I heard something like "bye auntie!". Thinking that the girl was just saying goodbye to someone else, I continued to walk.

"bye auntie! bye auntie! bye auntie!!!!!!!!!!!! BYE AUNTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I couldn't stand it anymore, and turned back to see the adorable little girl waving frantically at me and saying "bye auntie!!!" with a big smile on her flawless complexion. No other women were in sight.

Oh crap, I AM the auntie.

nevermind, I don't mind kids calling me auntie. But if it was someone above the age of 10, I would personally kill them with verbal abuse. (ok, just kidding)

BUT I WAS WEARING THE 'I LOVE HC' SHIRT!!! Very auntie meh?!

Maybe my back looks older than my face. hahahahaha

anyway, ju and chun were kind enough to help me find a suitable pair of shorts to buy after the movie. We went to the 'CK department store' place at first... although it's some super auntie place. And no, we did not visit the shop thinking that it is owned by chuankhim. We had fun laughing at how auntie some of the clothes were. And JULIA had a PARTICULARLY good time giggling at me. Hehehheehe. =D I am NOT an auntie yet okay!

Hai I had so much fun with you two today. She bu de li kai.


On a random note, clean&clear deep cleansing mask and biolyn shampoo are working wonders on me. Go check them out if you have some spare cash. And can anyone recommend me a pair of headphones with good sound quality which costs
Off to mod my athena pullover and exhibit my (incompetent) sewing skills in the process of doing it! Will post up pics of it soon when I get my hands on a digicam. Hehe.

(crap did I just call it "mod"? I'm turning into a nerd.)

this is going to get very incoherent.

Outings, outings, centad, mugging for SATs, C++, sphinx and whatever.

centad centad centad.

my mind and life are now preoccupied with all these stuff. And I think my brain is really going to explode forcefully out of my oddly-shaped skull into smithereens with all the stress starting to snowball and pile on me again. You can say that I'm now part of this snowball of stress. But if you went for the 6C class outing today, you would have noticed (?) that my head is still intact. Why?

Because BAKING keeps me alive.

Baking melts away the thick, maliciously icy layer of stress encapsulating me.

Baking liberates!!!

ya lah, enough of my english powder. Sharks, I've been baking so many random stuff these few days.

monday morning (i.e. ytd): choc chip cookies
monday night: white choc chip cookies
tuesday morning(today): choc chip vanilla cupcakes

Mrs Jambu's vanilla cupcake recipe is imba!!! Not only easy for noobs like me to make, but also very delicious. Thank you Mrs Jambu! =D shall upload some pics of the food later to make you all hungry. muahahahaa!

On my way to Plaza Singapura today, I saw Mrs Ong Han Nah entering the same MRT as me. Hehe. She still looks the same. Why do I keep seeing her whenever I step out of house???

I have a lot of expensive stuff on my wishlist right now!
1) iPhone 16GB
2) new headphones
3) SLR digital camera (minimum 10Mpx)

ahh... that's the great thing about blogs. You can crap as incoherently as you want, and nobody will tell you off.

nina, jiayou for I&R
jen, get well soon!

=D

the people closest to us are often the most alien

the study session with nina today was not as intense. We spent more time reading our storybooks I guess! =D But nonetheless, it was a refreshing change compared to our usual routine of talk/mug/lunch/mug/talk abit/dinner. haha it was very fun too!

Mr Tan Yang may sometimes crap a bit in class, but one of the old chinese proverbs he taught us really provoked me to think deeper today after nina and I were discussing about school life, and she brought this proverb into the conversation.

Lu4 yao2 zhi1 ma3 li4, ri4 jiu3 jian4 ren2 xin1.

(literal translation: you will only know of a horse's strength after a very long journey, and you will only come to know a person's heart after a long period of time)

sorry my comp has no chinese IME.


If a friend teaches you how to screw up the lives of others... and you know that it's morally wrong...
can you still trust and love this friend with all your heart and soul?
If you can, will you be able to live with the fear that this friend may just use that evil technique against you?

Is it possible to fully understand/know another person? Won't there be certain fractions of him/her which you may never come to know of?

What can be defined as true friendship? How much sharing between friends would be considered enough to keep the bond of friendship strong?


In my life, I have not made many friends. And I regret not making more friends..... though I find it very difficult to socialise.

is it just because I only consider people I am very close to my 'friends'?

Then what term should I use to describe 'friends' who are not as close to me?

Acquaintances???
Fellow Humans???

Is there a lot of room left for my concept of maturity to grow? Am I being too idealistic in my life? Am I too obedient and credulous? Why is my view of the world and people around me so simplistic?

The world is full of evil. And we can't do much about it.

zao3 zhi1 ru2 ci3, he2 bi4 kai1 shi1.

(hmm ok that's enough questions for today. shall go sleep.)

night night everyone. :)
