HaPpY BiRtHdAy To ShIwEn!!!

went to mind's cafe yesterday to pre-celebrate sw's bdae. it was really fun but we could only stay for 2 hrs. really cheap too. paid $5 for gaming and free flow drinks. we all went crazy yesterday, took alot of funny photos. walked to bugis for dinner at pasta mania. really had a gd time today.
decided to stay hall for this sem. but where should i stay? hall 16 is new, air-conditioned and with yu and hui. hall 10 is a single room with lihui and colin next door. really wanna stay with them actually but dont really like the room. how?

have been so tired this week. like deprived of sleep. why? cos i cant sleep early at night. then the next morning i cant wake up. hate all those 8.30 lectures. i cant keep myself awake, especially for bioinformatics. how to survive this sem??
i got a surprise on thursday night. my mum came home with 2 free tickets for sun yan zi's concert! i went with hui yesterday. so excited, first time go to this kind of concert. but we had to walk to the indoor stadium from kallang cos the bus was havent arrived after so long and no cabs will take us. walked with 3 other people along the way cos we were not sure of the way. sure upped our anticipation along the way. the stadium was packed and we were sitting in the second block. the stage was in the center so we could see quite reasonably. then sun yan zi appeared from the rising stage singing feng zhen. think she sang about 20 songs with 3 encores and 8 costume changes. the whole concert was great with fast and slow songs. i loved fir's songs and tanya's duet with yanzi. but the atmosphere wasnt really that high till the encore. the concert seemed to end so quickly after 2.5 hrs. i wanna go concert again~ yanzi rocks!

the first week of school has just ended and already i can sense that this sem will be no less stressful. there was a reading list for the lec on tuesday. on thursday, me and my friends went to look for the textbooks. i thought it was very early already. but no, out of the five books, we only found one. the rest has already been borrowed. my gosh, all these ppeople all so kiasu... i heard that people already went to borrow the books after the lec on tuesday. i hate this...
meanwhile, i'm still going out this week. completed my new year clothes shopping. made cheese cake with sw and mz. it turned out like biscuit crumble with cream cheese and choc chips though. lol... met up with theo and my guitar friends today. i was so blur. forgot to bring my ic and ez link card out, so went back twice for them. then when i reach the mrt station, i realise i didnt bring my wallet. only had 10 bucks to last the day. luckily they all gave me treats. thanks to you all!

this is my 100th post in this blog. haha... just came back not long ago from meeting my sec sch friends. so nan de, all of us were able to meet today. finally got to go pepper lunch after waiting for so long. but i find it quite a disappointment. it wasnt as nice as i thought. but i feel blessed these few days. been going out alot to celebrate my bdae. so end up eating alot too. going to turn fat at this rate. thanks to all my friends for making my bdae wonderful!
going to start sch on tues. have to wake up at 6 again. why do i have so many 8.30 lessons?? hope i wont be stressed out this sem and can finally get an A. best wishes to everyone for 2006. may everyone be happy and healthy~

yesterday afternoon, i went to meet up with sw and mz. miss sw so much. she bought souvenirs back for us from disneyland. about 10 different designs of cute little keyrings. i had the first choice and i chose one with winnie the pooh, piglet, tigger, eeyore hanging from it. mz and i thought it was the cutest. i really liked it alot. but, the careless me had to lose it. yup, i LOST it. barely hours after i got it. think it must have dropped out of my pocket. i tried to retrace our steps but couldnt find it anymore. probably some lucky kid picked it up.

sw, so sorry for losing it. thanks though...

gosh, time flies. i'm 1 year older today and hols have come to an end. hit 20 and i'm feeling old oredi.

*hope next year will be a wonderful year*

had a a wonderful xmas weekend this year! first off was friday when i went shopping with meizhen at orchard. it was bursting with people at wisma and taka. cant imagine what it would be like on the eve. we went to far east where thankfully there wasnt any crowd. tried the tian bu la(tempura) from the taiwan xiao chi. dont ever eat it cos it just tasted like fried fish paste with flour or something. yucks... but i managed to buy clothes. thanks to shiwen and meizhen for 'sponsering' my shirt. =)
sat was the first xmas eve i spent with friends. orchard would be nice with the lights and festive spirit but squeezing with the crowd is really not my cup of tea. so we went to marina bay for steamboat. we were split into two tables with the 3 guys, hui and me and the other table with ling, nana and their boyfriends. it kinda felt like we were going out seperately. but i had alot of fun, all the laughter and eating. but of cos, we stank of smoke at the end. after teh meal, the 5 of us went to city hall for ice cream. city hall wasnt crowded. in fact the mrt station was quite empty. still early perhaps? too bad iz had to book in or we could have gone esplanade. just love sitting at that place.
xmas day was spent with my family as we had our own party at my aunt's place. my mum had lots of last minute shopping to do and we had a mad rush for gifts 1 hour before. clearly, many people was also in a fluster, crowding the wrapping station. the party was good. gifts exchage and more food!!
now left the last week of hols and its my bdae week! must enjoy more. haha... though its belated, merry xmas!

feel so so relieved today~ xin zhong de shi tou zhong yu ke yi fang xia. cos i passed all my subjects! i was so worried for advanced cell bio that i had trouble sleeping yesterday. but yeah, i got a C+! thanks to dr ky. still didnt managed to get an A though. will i even manage an A in the 4 years? whatever...whoo~

yesterday, the class of p6/1 was finally back at qiaonan. 8 years have passed by so quickly. we waited at the canteen for the rest to arrive. so many faces, familar yet foreign. many of the girls have grown so pretty, making the guys go 'wah, chio!' as they walked in. about 25 out of the 43 in the class turned up. not bad i think. its amazing that we could get together now. our class was really united, cos everybody treasured our times here. this gathering was planned months ago by vic and seng. friendster has proved to be very useful locating everybody. only 2 people were like missing and uncontactable. some others have returned abroad. but yesterday was really fun. our form teacher and chinese teacher came too. we went up to our old classroom, sat round in a circle to update ourselves. kind of like orientation... everybody seems to be doing very well. we have future doctors, dentists, pharmacists, engineers, music players etc. all among us. we shared past gossips and toured the school.
but the whole day was like shifting tables. cos everywhere we went,we had to shift tables to accomodate the whole group. laughed so much yesterday cos of weiling and walid. walid would laugh at whatever weiling said and we would laugh at walid's laughter. created so much noise. and seng, he brought us to his 'fave spot', which was some secluded corner at tm's top floor beside a 'cage' with rubbish dumps. like what kind of place is that to sit and talk??
we spent the rest of the night at safra talking about the past 8 years of our life. everybody's love life seems pretty drama. or are all love stories as dramatic? yesterday was also the first time i sat on a motobike. walid sent me home but i was kinda nervous. gripped the side of the bike like my life depended on it, till the plastic cut into my hand. he was going quite fast but i enjoyed the wind. but i still prefer to stick to the car. lol...
yesterday was the first gathering but i believe many more will come. the kind of pure friendship in primary school is hard to come by and i'll treasure it. so mrs choo, watch out. cos we'll be raiding your house in the new year!

by this time tomorrow, sw will be on a plane to hongkong. so xian mu, she'll be gone for almost a month. gonna miss u. haha... enjoy your trip and take care~

sw and mz finished their exams yesterday. went to watch chicken little. didnt know it was the opening day. i had already heard the stupid song at mc donald's for 1 month. the show was entertaining but the plot really stupid. didnt think it was worth 8 bucks.
went swensens's after that and saw julian hee shooting outside! he was wearing a suit and i think he looked quite shuai. though mz say his face look fat. there were only a few crew members and he kept walking up and down across the busy road. seems awkward and blocking people's way. lol...
talking about stars, i was surprised that nic was out after the first round in star idol. didnt think he was great but didnt expect him to get kicked out so fast either. thought he had alot of fans. proved that good looks are not everything...

finally,i got to watch harry potter last wed. bought the tix at ps for 5.30. the lady assured me very good seats. but when we tried to go in at 5.30, we found out the tix were for 9.30pm! (T.T) the blur auntie gave us the wrong tix and blur me didnt check after buying. luckily they managed to get good seats for us at 6.30. this forth sequel was highly anticipated. especially after reading the book, i can imagine how spectacular the movie will be. the movie was really exciting, though i'm a tad disappointed that they left out the quidditch match. they left out some details too but they managed to round up the plot nicely. emma watson is soo pretty!

yeah~exams finally finished. now suddenly so free, a bit weird. haha...hope can find a part-time job this hols. yesterday's paper was so disastrous. i really hope i can pass. hai...never have i before felt so panicked during an exam because i dont know what to write. really zhen bu hao shou. but its over now. i can only hope for the best.
the only thing i like about exams is that it is only during this period that i get to see friends i dont usually meet. only during exams will i see hui everyday and sw every saturday to study. without them, i'll be too lazy to go out. haha...its very boring to study alone. so thanks and sw, jia you. faster finish your exams and we can watch harry potter!

supposed to be studying now but here i am in access lab typing this. hai... feeling sian cos i'm alone in school again. dont really like being alone most of the time. but, i have a paper tomorrow!! left 3 more papers, 7 days to freedom~ this week is going to be a killer week. last sat, went to airport to study with sw and we were so unlucky. we were chased out of 2 locations. in the end, we got tired and left early. we actually got chased out by an auntie from t2 foodcourt at 4pm. the canteen was empty but the auntie kept telling us that we cant study there. its the rules and the canteen is for staff to eat. she was so relentless that we got fed up. cant they be more flexible?? its cos of us students that the canteen actually has some business. dont know what they thinking...
hai...hope someone will come keep me company...

jia you for the exams!! hang in there~

my computer seems to be having problems. its like it has a mind of its own; shutting down suddenly and restarting when i want it to shut down. is it mocking at me?? hate this computer.
yesterday was the last day of the semester. had my french oral and 204 test. did quite well for my french test. think oral should be fine too. though i made some mistakes and said places in english. my group had 3 persons so we took longer. it seemed like an eternity with never-ending questions. sometimes we had to continue our answer on that of the previous person's. she asked me why i liked singapore. didnt really have much choices of an answer left so i just made up something. vocab so limited. so glad no listening or i'll just miss out everything. but i'm quite relaxed about french cos i adopted a dont-really-care attitude. but it seems better. stress-free... not so for my core though. i hate studying for cell bio. someone help me~
this sem no one to study with me. and i'm feeling less motivated with each sem. dont really feel happy. felt left out from my usual group of friends this sem. maybe cos i'm always going for french during breaks. end up missing alot from their conversation topics. and they are all so smart. really cant catch up when they discuss school work so feel stressed around them sometimes. sometimes feel like i have nothing to say. sigh...i was hoping to get closer to one of them. maybe i think too much ba. now have to concentrate on studying. gambatte!

had my french role play last week. lucky to have role play instead of oral. just have to memorise the script. my script was quite short so i had no problem. hee... but i think all the groups didnt understand totally what everyone else was talking about. we're just performing for the teacher.
my friends always ask 'isnt it tough that u're taking french on top of ur core? french is so difficult...'. french is difficult but i still enjoy languages more than my core. languages are so fun to learn. besides, i've become used to the teaching style in french class. its different from japanese but both styles have their good points. i think i learn more vocab in french, verbs especially. the teacher always teach us extra things, sometimes from level 2. japanese class was more speed learning and conversation practice. can see the difference between french and japanese teachers too. the french are more easy-going with a better command of english. they enjoy the arts. japanese are more particular about puntuality and rules. always very polite. very interesting to learn all these.
oh yah, very excited. i met sijia in ntu. she's my primary school best friend. we chatted all the way home. so much to catch up on. victor is organising a class gathering at the end of the year to be held at our old classroom. isnt it cool if it can really take place?

finally went out with my friends yesterday. met up with my dmn friends. went to the nasi padang shop at killiney road. we shared 6 dishes for 5 people. i liked the beef rendang but hui thinks its too hard. gal, getting old oredi is it? teeth cant bite. lol...have to thank the guys for treating. actually wanted to watch corpse bride after dinner but tickets were sold out. heard its a nice movie. oh well, save my $9.50. then we wanted to go hagen diaz for the chocolate fondue. only remembered that near far east have. where else in orchard got hagen diaz?? have to ask shuhui next time. but we didnt get to eat it after the long walk too. too many people le. so ended up slacking outside shaw cinema. enjoyed myself though i have a sore throat now. argh...too many people sick in the lecture hall. next time must find new places to go!!

feel so restless lately. havent gone out to relax with my frens since dunno when. the outing with my japanese classmates keep getting postponed cos of our damned assignments. one after another. haiz... was really looking forward to meeting them. didnt even go out during the last hols except to nus to study with shiwen and meizhen. pathetic huh. but there's really nice to study.
started playing with maple story during the hols. was attracted by its cute characters so i tried to play my first rpg. its not very exciting actually, except when you get cool stuff or level up. i guess that's why people are addicted to gaming. think i'll lose interest after awhile though. and i only told one person i was playing and now all the guys know i'm playing. hai...
got back my french test last week. i got a 17/20! really surprised. thought i'll do badly for the compo and questions sections. maybe i can get an overall good grade afterall. hee...
went to swensens to celebrate my mum's birthday. really coincidence cos i saw willie with his family having dinner too. then jy came to meet wy, hk and yy. havent seen the guys in a long time so it was great to catch up abit. seems like they are planning a xmas party.

who can calm my restless soul?

whew, havent blogged in a long time. yr 2 sch life has been pretty busy so far. so much more to study. hate advanced cell bio. yucks... stupid lecturer gave us a scientific journal to read and answer questions. finally handed in the assignment. think i didnt do very well for yesterday's french test too. cant remember french as well as i did for japanese.
looking foward to holidays this week~
