*yawns*
it's been another long day for me.though being tired,im still very happy.at least to say,today had been a fruitful day to me.initially i was supposed to attend some kinda family gathering at woodlands.ive already decided to go with my family until i took back my word yesterday.if you ask me whether do i regret for making such a decision,i will say NO without hesitation.the only person me and rena missed is jurong (right rena?).other than that,i would say that those people are my distant relatives,who come to my house only once a year which is during CNY.i went to help for cgs booster.i intended to go back on the 2nd booster but i was caught up with my lessons that day.*that stupid yang!*okok..back to the topic before i scold him any further.yea..so i was saying that i went back to cgs today.it was my 2nd time entering the arts conservatory so everything there seems alien to me.oh ya..i did not know how to open the door from the inside.the system was similar to that in the office,yet i foolishly meddled with the knob and lock etc.alrite.my group was doing biology,which was something im more familiar with as compared to subjects like A Math etc.everything went on smoothly,without hiccups until.........gary bombarded me with an A Math question on relative velocity.it seems familiar,yet so unfamiliar.shit!he and i discussed for a while but we still cant find the solution.i suddenly thought of mr loh but too bad,he was not in school today.fortunately there was a group of girls in the library whom i could consult.yea..its kinda embarassing.haha.suat hoon bought me a pig mooncake,which came with a ribbon tying around its neck and two inedible pearly-huge eyes.yummy~
all in all,i enjoyed the day.we ended off by taking some pictures.me with the juniors.

I hear you're taking the town again
Having a good time with all your good time friends
I don't think that you think of me
You're on your own now, and I'm alone and free
I know that I oughta get on with my life
But a life lived without you could never be right

And as long as the stars shine down from the heavens
Long as the rivers run to the sea
I'll never get over you
Getting over me

I try to smile so the hurt won't show
Tell everybody I was glad to see you go
But the tears just won't go away
Loneliness found me, looks like it's here to stay
I know that I oughta find someone new
But all I find is myself always thinking of you

No matter what I do
It's like a lifetime to live through
I can't go on like this
I need your touch
You're the only one I've ever loved
And as long as the stars shine down from the heavens
Long as the rivers run to the sea
I'll never get over you
Getting over me
I'll never get over you
Getting over...
Never get over you getting over...
I'll never get over you
Getting over me


awww..that's so sad,especially those phrases.
which shows that pain is slicing every bit of the heart.

since there's a demand for me to update (though its only one person's view),i shall grant her wish.today's the 2nd day of school,but it's as if only the 1st day because yesterday's lessons were all cancelled.ocular anatomy seems fun as it has alot got to do with biology.i was late for class this morning,but the rest of my class was even later than me.i think the most united class to come on time is 03.most of them were already there for the lesson.my class was also united,in the sense that most of us were late.haha yea.."make the best out of the worst"(sylvia's logic).i had no time for a proper breakfast,so i just quickly gulp down a cup of milo before i left the house.when we had 5 min break halfway,i bought yet another cup of milo and brought into the lecture theatre.i just cant help if the aroma of the milo fills the whole room.oops!after lesson ended,i went to cca drive with ruth and the guys.damnit square.he forced me to join choir=( i challenged him to sing and play the keyboard at the same time,but this was meant to be a joke.i didnt expect him to do that and well,i gotta keep my promise which is to join choir.alrite.so im in for the choir audition this friday.wish me luck!i still think that i will get in because the club seriously lack of members and they need people to join out of desperation.haha...by the way my singing is not that bad right?square better mean what he said,which is that the choir instructor was quite good-looking.hehe joking.who can beat the hunk in my heart?woohoo~mingdao?jonathan leong?>.we finally passed the birthday gift to eddie,though his birthday was like a week ago.it was the initial d car which jay chou drove.i called it the "toufu" car because the one in the show was from a shop selling beancurds.shit.my entrepreneurship module starts tomorrow.i wonder if the lecturer will ask me why i take this module.can i just say that im forced to join?it's true anyway.im just being honest.if there are more classes for etiquette and professional image module,i will definitely rush for it.shit.this module is really not my choice.i reckon that the term "entrepreneurship" is just a bore,like the entrepreneur club set up in crescent as a cca.argh.why must i do something which is not of my interest?the feeling is like moving aimlessly,with no directions and motivation whatsoever.my 2nd choice was psychology and counselling.it's obvious that the classes are closed too.duh.in fact earlier on,i registered for a module which was about accents and slang.it sounds interesting and new to me.the fact that i gave up the module after successfully registering for it just makes my blood boil.you know what?it was all because of the timetable which was not updated at that time.the module was on every monday from 8-10am.according to the timetable which was seriously lagging,there's a class in that timeslot.Hence,i gave up the module.who knows that heaven plays a joke on me?the latest timetable shows that we have a free slot for that timing.argh.irritating.okie.i guess i gotta "make the best out of the worst".grit my teeth and move on!




if only i could turn back time.

You Are Right Brained In Love

Bit of a drama queen
Peacemaker, first to end a fight
Good at thinking up creative dates
Tend to fall in love and get hurt easily
Going with your gut instead of your head
Emphathetic and caring, sometimes to a fault
Good at recognizing patterns in relationships
Been in love many times, perhaps too many to count
Wildly passionate and intense when falling in love
Spontaneous with relationships, going with the flow
Overly visual - can play back past dates like movies in your mind
Roses, love poems, and stuffed animals are a good start to winning your heart
"been in love many times,perhaps too many to count" not true.ive only felt love once.for as far as i know,its all in my head.not in reality.

Your Dream Engagement Ring Has a Heart Diamond!

You wear your heart on your sleeve, so of course you should also wear it on your ring.
A heart diamond is the perfect choice for highlighting your passionate disposition.
Only a true romantic can get away with wearing this ring. Luckily, that's you.
And only a true romantic can give you this ring, so make sure you find him...!
where?

You are a Dark Red Rose

You represent unconscious beauty and deep passion.

Your vibe: sophisticated and worldly

Falling in love with you is: wildly carnal and forbidden
so,love me not.

What People Think of Your Mouth

People see you as both seductive and intimidating.
Other women are especially put off by your womanly powers.
And men either fear you or obsess over you - sometimes both.
No way to fight it - you're a natural vamp.

You Are a Cappuccino

You're fun, outgoing, and you love to try anything new.
However, you tend to have strong opinions on what you like.
You are a total girly girly at heart - and prefer your coffee with good conversation.
You're the type that seems complex to outsiders, but in reality, you are easy to please

You Are Champagne

A true mystery, no one can quite figure you out...
That is, until you start drinking. Then you tend to let loose.
You're fun to drink with, but it definitely takes you a few drinks to loosen up.
You prefer to date a man who likes the finer things in life... like a five star dinner with that champagne.

You Are Strawberry Ice Cream

Sweet. Romanic. Genuine.

Your Brain is 73% Female, 27% Male

Your brain leans female
You think with your heart, not your head
Sweet and considerate, you are a giver
But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

Friday, September 22, 2006
You Have Fantastic Karma

You are a kind, sensitive, and giving person.
And all your good deeds will pay off - if they haven't already.
But you're not so concerned with what you get in return anyway.
You have an innate caring nature - and nothing can change that!

Your Candy Heart Says "Hug Me"

A total sweetheart, you always have a lot of love to give out.
Your heart is open to where ever love takes you!

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a surprise romantic evening that you've planned out

Your flirting style: lots of listening and talking

What turns you off: fighting and conflict

Why you're hot: you're fearless about falling in love

when you are writing,have you ever paused for a second to ask yourself what is the value of a pencil?value not in terms of money but how important it means to us.

i learnt some things these few days,be it a valuable lesson in life or just as simple as how to operate a machine.candice made me realise that in life,we musnt always say sorry especially when its not our fault.i self-reflect on my own attitude and impression which i give to people.in their eyes,i may be one who's an easy target to bully.i may appear to be soft and vulnerable because i always apologise even for things which are not screwed up by me.is this an occupational habit?when i was a sales promoter,we must say sorry most of the time to appease our customers.if we fail to do so,they may lodge a complaint to the big shots.yes,the habit of saying sorry has stayed in me and almost become my way of life.i could still remember the day when i shopped at a supermarket with dar and ping han for the class bbq.a woman was standing beside me looking closely at the products.when she wanted to put the product back on the shelf,she dropped it.the silly me actually said sorry to her.can you imagine?thats damn embarassing.what did i apologise for?im neither the promoter nor the one who caused her to drop the stuff.i really gotta thank candice for making me realise my own mistake for not being smart and sort of crushing my self-worth.sorry should be the hardest word ever to come out from our mouth,yet i say it like nobody's business.
next,i learnt how to use the multi-function machine which comprises scanner and photocopier.i still feel a lil afraid of using it,in fear that i may spoil the machine if i press any button wrongly.yea..im blur..
you know something?today was the first time ever i sat motor.jeff rode me to orchard to look for books for self-enrichment.that was awesome!!!!!!!the feeling was like he's racing or something though he did not speed.the wind blew ferrociously and i was on cloud nine.i gotta admit that the helmet was heavy and i had problem fastening the strap at first.never mind..i believe practice makes perfect!we went to taka and there was this mooncake fair at taka square.boxes and boxes of mooncakes just made me drool.i want my greentea mooncake(preferably with yolk)!today i was dressed in black from head to toe and it reminds me of the days when i worked there.we ate some noodles(dont know whats the name either) and sausage with prata.yummylicious!
im going back to cgs next thursday to see my dear juniors attending the booster and of course to find suat hoon and mr loh.the exam period is near and i wish everyone good luck in the upcoming challenge to face.i believe with the help of IAG,everybody can achieve their goals!

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong, we move along(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along

ive finally witnessed for myself how fragile and unpredictable relationships can be.it takes only a second to end a year's relationship.just as simple as that.how i wish i have the ability to console him.yes i do empathise with him but i have no idea how to make him talk to me.its scary when someone shuts himself up from the world outside and goes into isolation.to some people,breaking up is no big deal.its just a matter of moving on,in search for the right one.however,to someone who's facing such setbacks in their first relationship,the wound is going to kill him.he takes it so seriously that he may even inflict harm on himself.that's how pessimistic a person can get.now i so-called see the true colours of human.the character of a person changes with time that passes so readily.perhaps the reason behind it is that when one enters into different phases in life,his or her needs and perception differs from the past.we see more things and somehow our expectations grow higher,hoping to indulge in material wealth or something more than that.for instance,the man a woman wants is no longer one who loves her whole heartedly,or is willing to sacrifice his life for.the mr.right is one who has the financial capability to pamper her from head to toe,who lays a path of comfort and ensures a lifetime of luxury.
love,is something i begin to lose trust in.its too fragile to withstand the slightest storm.love resembles the game,UNO STACKO.when all is calm and serene,the relationship develops and progress further,just like how the pile of blocks gets higher.however,it doesnt mean that it gets more stable with more blocks building up.in contrary,it gets shaky and unstable as the centre of gravity is lifted.when it is on the brink of collapsing,the next move becomes the most crucial one.this can either make or break the entire structure.the effort put in building the structure up till now collapsed with a vital push.thats it.
i always thought that women are the ultimate victims of a cruel relationship.i never thought that guys actually do not feel any better either.if not for today,i still have the concept that guys dont treat a relationship seriously.well,love indeed can make a grown man cry,washing his face with endless streams of tears.
perhaps i should have predicted such an ending,so i wont make a promise so easily.if im given a second chance to choose,i wont commit and throw myself into this valley of sorrow.
i feel that its natural for someone to be upset over a breakup but i find it foolish if he degrades himself.if a guy quits smoking for the girl's sake,it is bravery.if he reverts back to his old self(or smokes even heavily) just because of a breakup,i tell you this is goddamn stupid!what is this supposed to mean?he tortures himself with more puffs and puts his own life at risk?or is it that he simply wants to gain sympathy from his girl?which is which?or maybe the better method is starvation??in such situations,even the smartest person can become the dumbest fool.its possible that one can do anything in times of madness.well,he chose to starve.well done-.-

before others can love us,we must first love ourselves.~

Who is the man I see
Where I'm supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
Under the iron sea

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Lines ever more unclear
Not sure I'm even here
The more I look the more I think that I'm
Starting to disappear

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong

I don't know where I am
And I don't really care
I look myself in the eye
There's no one there
I fall upon the earth
I call upon the air
But all I get is the same old vacant stare

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong

memories may be short-lived.
photos,however,captures eternity.
which explains my love for photography.
the shots may not be well-taken,
may be incomparable to those professional ones,
but in it,it contains people,place and time.
isnt it great?that a piece of photo can mean so much.
at least when we forget certain things
they are always there to bring the memories back.
some things will never ever be forgotten.
for they stay in me,safely KEPT.

have you experienced that kind of feeling whereby you are close to someone yet you feel as if you are distant from him/her?
so near,yet so far.is how people describe it.
hate this kind of feeling,dont ya?
if distance=speed x time,
hence time is a factor huh?
speed denotes the rate things happen,
hopefully is progress to begin with.
if only time is a hopeful determinant i can rely on.
in that case,it should close up the distance.
i want to feel close to you.
c'mon,we aren't strangers...

and my mood changed with his.

ok..i shall abstain from eating stingrays from today onwards.though they taste delicious,they are evil creatures!!!!!!!!!!!!unlike monkies and pigs which are so adorable and harmless.
poor steve irwin.i thought his occupation as a crocodile hunter is full of risks because to deal with the sharp-teethed amphibians is never easy.who knows the next moment you might be devoured by them.its surprising that steve's death was caused by some other creatures,not the crocs which we expect would be the ones.no one,i tihink not even steve hinself,would have predicted to die in the hands of the merciless stingrays.it stung right though his heart.OH MY GOD.as part of the due respect we give him because he risked his life entertaining us with interesting shows,our nicks in msn have a lil' tortoise.
alright.i hate mozzies too.my entire night's sleep was disturbed because of them.well done!im tired ya noe?(guess mozzies wont understand anyway.lol)my tummy feels weird.maybe because of the nasi brani i ate last night as dinner.very 'suay'..........just like what yy said..haha..there's a blackout because of me???!!!!your head!haha..
oh ya..guess i will be touching on english again.i thought that i can escape from it since there's no CRS anymore.god gives me another task,which is to write proposals...haha..pro right?yep..i gotta brush up my english skills now.AGAIN.time to learn how to write a proposal!

monkies are deft creatures.

*raise my both hands up*
a particular news about a monkie fascinated me when i was watching it last evening.it knew how to bathe on its own!amazing.the news report that due to the scorching weather,the monkie has learnt to bathe on its own.it knew how to remove the clothes,how to use the soap etc...a sudden thought flashed my mind.i want a pet monkie!haha..*grins*
oh.kiat wee's blog is also about a "bathing ape"............*laughs even more*hahahahaha..

the picture is not the one which im talking about.however,i find these monkies in japan rather likeable too.just look at their faces and you will know.as red as their butt.haha..

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY


a day to thank our wonderful teachers for their continuous effort in bringing out the hidden gem in us.there are a few teachers whom i will never forget in my life.these are the ones who made a great impact and shaped me into what i am today.
~mrs tay
you taught me from the day i entered jagoh till primary three.3 unforgettable years i should say.you are the one who made me believe at that time,that primary education was a fun and interesting journey to set our first step on.yea.i truly enjoy those years very much.of course i remember your punishment for us were pulling our ears and hitting our palms with a wooden ruler.great memories........i definitely enjoyed carrying piles of books for you and gladly serving you through the years as a class monitress.thanks!

~mrs anne chan
the hug i gave you yesterday was no less than that i gave my parents.a hug which contains my countless appreciation of what you have taught me.though i only studied in brps for merely 2 years,i witness strong bonds between you and us.thanks!

~mrs koh
lao shi hao!its sad that i didnt get to see and talk to you yesterday when i returned to brps.every time when i went back,i will not fail to find you.yesterday was a pity.anyway,wanna say that your lessons were awesome!the best chinese teacher ever!thanks!

~mr stephen loh
i will not stop saying thanks to you.other than thanking you,i could not think of any other ways to repay your effort.if it wasnt for you,i guess i wont be where i am now,nowhere near my goal.what you did last year deeply touched my heart.you stayed back after school and even weekends just to tutor us,doing beyond what other teachers would do for their students.you went an extra mile to guide the weaker students like me and did not abandon us in the first place.you still believe that we have the potential to excel.and yes,we made it!my results have proven that you are a good mentor and that you will always be,in my heart.thanks!

The Way You Look At Me-Christian Bautista

No one ever saw me like you do
All the things that I could add up to
I never knew just what a smile was worth
But your eyes say everything without a single word

'Cause there's somethin' in the way you look at me
It's as if my heart knows you're the missing piece
You made me believe that there's nothing in this world I can't be
I never know what you see
But there's somethin' in the way you look at me

If i could freeze some moment in my mind
Be the second that you touch your lips to mine
I'd like to stop the clock, make time stand still
'Cause baby, this is just the way I always wanna feel

I dont know how or why I feel different in your eyes

All I know is it happens everytime

The way you look at me
