PMR Results ; Singapore

31 December 2008

I got 8A's in PMR!!

Okay maybe it's nothing much, since my brother says that many of his friends' cousins/siblings also got 8A's. So no big deal.

But the reward!! When I asked my father about my reward, he said, oh, your reward is that you are having a holiday in Singapore. Poo! I went to Singapore before my results came out okay!!

But before leaving he did give my uncle $100 (it's for me actually) to spend in Singapore ... I don't think my uncle was going to give me all the money to spend, but since I got good results ,I can spend it all!!

Eh, second day in Singapore and I already spent $50. Bah.

Singapore is so GREEN!! I like!

Shopped for the whole afternoon, first at Causeway Point then along Orchard Road. Didn't go into all the malls (like last year?) because we were short of time. Went for a manicure (French again, my favorite haha) at the same place I went to last year, at Far East Plaza.

Took neoprints at the Cathay Cineleisure place, then bought two pairs of Ripples flip-flops.

Went to Mini Toons, and bought two baby ladybirds! BURGER GY!! =)

So, I'm going out again later, to some place I don't know, with people I don't know. It will probably be awkward. Never mind, I'll borrow Ee Leng's iPod and play games, listen to songs.

Going there for the 2009 Countdown ... Never really attended that kind of 10! ... 9! .... 8! kind of countdown ... and I never really "celebrated" New Year away from home, let alone away from Malaysia ...

Many plans! Want to go canoeing, to the beach, to cycle, to eat sushi, to shop more ....

Okayyy I'm going to play The Typing of the Dead already. Played it so many times .... but it's fun ... improve my typing speed (like it's not fast enough ... =P) ...

AND JANE IS BACK FROM USA!! I WANT MY PRESENTS JANE!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

25 December 2008

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!!

Shit, I still can't grasp the fact that in six days, it's going to be 2009.

Okay, I really don't wanna think about it.

Anyway, turned out that the results are coming out on the 30th, and not yesterday like we all thought. Stupid, really. Why not just get it over with?

I'm going to Singapore on the 29th of December, and coming back on the 4th of January. Means that I probably won't be here when the results come out. Great.

When I went to Singapore last year, I experienced many of my-firsts ... (no, not that first, pervert xD) (ok I realize I'm the pervert...)

The First Time I :


- Travelled by cruise
- Ate 板面
- Got a manicure (French!! :D)
- Went canoeing
- Ate the Pepper Lunch (ooh, nice!)
- ETC

Lots more, lots more ...

So I hope when I go there this time, I'll experience more my-firsts ...

We're stopping in KL for maybe half a day or so ... KL!!! MEMORIES!! I MISS MY CO FRIENDS SO MUCH!!! I will never forget (for the time being) the brilliant time we had together!

(I can't very well say the same for when I am about 25 years old, what if I get some kind of memory loss?)

Okay, that was a terrible thing to say.

Anyway, I am going to see all of them this Saturday!! YAY!! Can't wait.

Again, Merry Christmas!! Hope you all get what's on your wishlist (I didn't)!!!

I'm Back ....

22 December 2008

Back, but not better than ever.

Lost my voice!

Because I screamed so loudly, screamed so much when I heard that ....

WE WON IN THE CHINESE ORCHESTRA COMPETITION!!!!

There were 4 golds and 6 silvers, and we got the 4th gold. The last of the 4 golds but still gold nevertheless. I'm so proud. I AM SO PROUD!!! *tears springing out of eyes*

I will update about it soon, (once I finish editing the photos) about what happened during the amazing 4-day-trip to KL, about my feelings, about where we went, yadda yadda ...

I MISS EVERYONE SO MUCH!!!!

Especially my Erhu seniors and juniors ...

Like my sister said : "We marched Gold and Glory back with us, but what's the use of that? It is the time we spent together that we treasure ..."

TRUE!!!

I really thought the trip was going to be a real bore, since we were not really going anywhere or doing anything interesting except competing in the competition and practicing for it. But it was really fun. Thanks to my friends. Without them I'd probably die.

Okay. Let's not talk about that now.



The super important (and scary) thing is :

THE PMR RESULTS ARE COMING OUT IN TWO FUCKING DAYS.

(Yes, it's Christmas Eve. WTF!)

God save me. I don't think I can take that much excitement, that much anxiety ...

The results of the CO competition was already so overwhelming that I cried, and within days I'm probably going to cry again. Of happiness, of sadness, I do not know. I hope it's of happiness. *crosses fingers*

I'm celebrating Christmas that night, and if I get lousy results, then it will be a horrible Christmas for me.

SCREAM!!!

And school is reopening in exactly a fortnight. How time flies. A bit confusing really. When the holidays first started I was dreading it so much because there were all those CO practices, everyday. Now when the school is reopening, I do not want the holidays (even the CO practices) to end.

Sigh. I know ... typical.

Will things ever change?

Half-Broken Promise

17 December 2008

Dang. I know I did not update. I am genuinely sorry. *apologetic look*

But I do have reasons for not updating!!

1) EE LENG ARRIVED EARLY!!!!

We thought she'd arrive after we came back from KL. But instead she came days earlier!! Totally unexpected.

There was all the excitement and stuff, so I did not update.

2) WAS EXTREMELY BUSY.

Was at school during the morning. After an enormous lunch at Little Cottage 2, I practiced Erhu with Shi Yin and Mok Mok. And later in the evening, we went to play badminton. Crazy people! Hahaha. (I know lah, not really qualified as busy right, playing badminton?)

Shi Yin just came back from Thailand on Monday, safe and sound! =P I missed her so much!!!

She should be touched.

She bought a necklace each for my sister and I!! Thanks a lot! *kiss*

*******

I'm leaving for KL at the break of dawn tomorrow!! Have to wake up at 5:30 a.m~ and I really should not be awake now ....

Eh, how unfair is it? When Ee Leng just arrived, and we had to leave? Pooh.

Anyway, I will post a few photos first, so that my promise is not completely broken .. hehehe.

26 November 2008

We planned to go play badminton at Youth Park. Then it started raining heavily, but we still went anyway. Just minus the badminton playing part.

Even though we had umbrellas, we decided that it was much more fun to get all wet, so we all walked to Youth Park under the rain. So fun! Hadn't done anything like that since I was in my childhood days. Ahhh. Reminiscence ....





Een Joe looked so funny!! She reminded me of Professor Trelawney - with the queer glasses that made her look like a beetle - from Harry Potter ... Not that I'm saying that Een Joe looked like a beetle. She just looked damn funny. Not just in this photo, but in many of them.

Well, I won't say too much. Just enjoy the photos!!

(The photos are quite blurry. Must be the resizing again. Sigh.)











Look at Een Joe again!! *snorts* xD

We ended up "swimming" in the swimming pool. Who cared if it was dirty? And probably ___ *racist thoughts* ___? At least we all had a laugh. At least we all had fun. I'd swim in a shit pool with my friends if it's fun.

Okay. Maybe not.


Hsieh Ying and I



Like I said, teenagers or toddlers? I guess it's toddlers. =P


Eik Ming

The most ... uh, what, conspicuous (I just love this word, don't ask me why) of us all. The only one wearing the hideous school uniform. The only Form 5 one. The only one carrying her school bag.

She just finished her SPM that day!! Crazy right!

I still have a lottttt of photos but I can't post them right now! I still have to resize them again because, after resizing them and then editing them again, the files become bigger, AGAIN! Freaking 3MB!! Damn. Crap. Bullshit. Feek. Fish. Toot. $#^!@&!$%

CHINESE ORCHESTRA FAREWELL 2008





The invitation cards we meticulously, painstakingly made .... and yes, I have to say it again : I spent 12 hours doing all these crap!! (OK. Not crap.)

Well, I didn't do all of them. I did the covers and the venue pages, then wrote the time/date, wrote the Roman letters (pretty! Yes, you should smack me, hard) on the clocks, and drew the colourful flower patterns.



The decorations. Not bad right! So pretty!!

(No need to smack me because it wasn't my idea, the decorations)


Shuyan, Lee Mei and I

I love this photo!! There's another one where my hand is not blocking Lee Mei's face, but then that one is more blurry. And I look nicer in this one. Hahahhaaha.

Shuyan looks so petite, right? WRONG.

She's taller than me in reality!!! #$@!^&*% WTF. So unfair.

Lee Mei says that Shuyan looks like she is being bullied by us in the photo. Probably because she's so tiny, and she's not smiling. Shit. Maybe she IS being bullied. Pressured into taking the photo with us. Something like that. xD Hahaha. Not funny.

I said that she looks like a child. Maybe our 6-year-old sister. Hahahaha. Sigh. So pathetic, have to laugh at my own ... (they are not jokes) comments. Sigh.

And there were sooo many balloons! I really hate the sound of balloons bursting. They frighten me.

Those photos above were taken the day before the farewell.

These below were taken on the actual day of the farewell.



Well, of course I have to post a photo of my gorgeous self. With my favorite turquoise light! Yay!! Pretty face, pretty lights, pretty balloons (but scary), pretty decorations, pretty ass(es) behind me ... everything was so pretty!

I don't really need to say it : SMACK ME.



Don't know what we were doing. I'm the one behind the pink balloon.



This photo makes me happy!! Everyone is laughing, even Shuyan!! (She seldom laugh/smile like that in photos) Even though my mouth is not open and you cannot see my teeth, I still look really happy.

HSIEH YING LOOKS THE HAPPIEST!! HAHHAHAHA.

Okay. There are also manyy other photos but it's 12:40 a.m. right now and GOD I HAVE TO GO TO BED!!!!

I'll post them after I come back from KL! But I'll probably have even more photos to post after I come back ...

OK, OK, GOOD NIGHT!! Wish us luck!!

WE CAN DO IT!!!

(see, I put turquoise colour for the words! I really mean it! I don't put this colour for stupid, unimportant things. And dates are not stupid, unimportant things. Right.)

Long Post Coming Soon-ish

14 December 2008

A long post with many photos coming up, perhaps the day after tomorrow!

Not tomorrow because I will be in school until goodness knows when.

So, I will post up photos of :

- The day we went to Youth Park (26 November)
- Chinese Orchestra Farewell (4 December)
- Korean Gurguyo Concert (4 December)
- Christmas decorations (which includes my pretty self *coughs*)
- The two times I went to Secret Recipe (8 December ; 13 December)

If I can, that is. Because there really are a lot. I'll select a few photos which I look nice in (well, naturally, who doesn't do that?) and upload them.

My mom just came back from Bali this afternoon. She bought so many things! She had to buy a new luggage to stuff everything in.

Chocolates, clothes, soft toys, pictures (the hang-on-the-wall kind), some exquisite, carefully carved wood objects, thongs (I mean the shoes), cushion covers, batik stuff, bags .... God, what HADN'T she bought?

Grrr. I hate my dad sometimes.

My mum wasn't at home for five or six days, and you'd thought everyone would give her a warm welcome when she came home. NOT.

Well, at least, not for my dad. First thing they did? QUARREL.

What the fuck. Over some stupid thing. We originally planned to go to Butterworth tonight, to play with my cousin's dog, but then, because they quarreled, we couldn't go. Must be some quarrel.

Thanks, Dad.

Another boring night in. What to do?

I should start packing today! Then I'd still have a few days to contemplate on what to put into the luggage and what not to put into the luggage. The big fat ladybird soft toy, for instance. And the large amount of junk food.

Save me. We, quite possibly have to spend every free moment when we are at KL (when we are not practicing, competing, sleeping, eating or using the toilet) RESTING in our hotel room. Rest. Lai Sheng intended to let us go shopping, sightseeing and whatever, take our minds off things, but our beloved TME simply refused to let us go out of the hotel.

Even if there are card games, other games, a television ... what else can one do?! I don't think SHE will let us go swimming (if there's a swimming pool that is) either. If she doesn't allow us to shop, which, in my opinion, is much safer than swimming, then no way will she let us even dip our toes in the pool.

Oh, crap. Just our luck that she's the teacher who's bringing us to KL. Great. Too great. *grimace*

Neuf Jours

9 December 2008

I love Christmas! And it is coming real soon. Whoopee!

You can see them everywhere - christmas trees of every size, festooned with sparkly tinsels, glittery ornaments, twinkling lights, magnificent angels/stars on the top of the trees .... WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE??!

And the best part - THE PRESENTS!!

One should not create a wish list, because one will probably experience disappointment. Too true. Not that I don't have an endless wish list. That's why. I'm always disappointed.

There are many Christmas trees in my house! We went to Gurney yesterday to buy a new tree (RM200, WHAT A RIP OFF!) because one of the "stands" (there are originally four of them) for the previous tree is lost. Disappearance of just one piece of the "stands", and poof, you lose RM200. Stupid.

So we have the new tree and the old tree (which doesn't really count, but whatever).

I also have a small one in my room. And an even smaller, tiny, in fact, one on my bedside table. It is very cute, and special!

It is not the regular type of tree where you HANG your ornaments onto, but instead, it is a tree where you STICK your ornaments (which are of a different type as well) into. My sister also has one in her room!

And there is another small, nice tree - half tree, actually, where you prop against the wall - on the piano.

Oh! I also made a Christmas wreath for my bedroom door! We have those extra "leaves", so voilà! A nice wreath for you (your door I mean). Free. Completely free. Yay! I also tied a tiny bell on the wreath, so I told my sister to ring the bell instead of knock whenever she wants to come into my room.

But the tinkle of the bell is so faint I can barely hear it, even if I am the one who does the ringing.

Tomorrow I am going to stick glow-in-the-dark snowflakes onto my wall!

Will post photos soon.

***********

I was surprised when I saw you use that word. I ... assume you like English. Good. At least we have one thing in common.

When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me ... I know, I know.

I remember once when the teacher (we call her Rhombus, explain later) made an assumption about something, and I, not noticing that the whole auditorium was deathly quiet, said the above quote, out loud. Oops. I only hope she did not hear.

Rhombus, how did she get her name? She, is another strange teacher that we dislike. She thinks she is very cool ; she acts like she's cool, she talks like she's cool. Which she isn't. Oh no. She is farrr from that. The only thing we noticed about her was her fat arms. And her act-cool-ness. Eew.

And she thinks she is very clever. And cool. Oh, sorry, I forgot I mentioned that. *sarcastic smile*

When she laughs, her mouth strangely resembles a rhombus. Not a perfect one though, just a slightly lopsided one. But still a rhombus. Or a parallelogram. Hui Jing and I got a shock (and burst out laughing afterward) when we saw her laugh like that.

And thus the name Rhombus.

I found out when your birthday is!! A wee bit of spying. Actually not spying. I just looked. =P

Oh, and my mom left for Bali this morning! Hope she buys something for me there. Hehe. Five glorious mommy-free days. Whoopee. Not that there's anything for me to do, I'll probably be in school all day. Pooh.

I miss Shi Yin! I miss her I miss her I miss her! =( Hope she comes back sooner than planned.

CO competition in 9 days. I should start my planning for what to bring and what not to bring.

Crisis. I have a giant ladybug soft toy that I want to bring. I ... don't know. I just can't bear to leave her/it behind. I don't want to neglect her/it. But you know, I shouldn't feel like that. There are a grand total of 12 ladybug soft toys (from big to small) and about 8 pig soft toys in my house. If I feel like that then I must bring every soft toy of mine along. Which is utterly absurd.

Sigh. Never mind, 9 days is a long time. I'll figure something out. So many things to bring.

My instrument, my uniform, my clothes, towels, shoes, loads of food, camera, handphone (*smirks*), money money money, the damned ladybird, and my bolster which I cannot live without, and ... tissue paper? Oh, and poker cards, UNO cards, all sorts of games, and ... spectacles, combs, shampoo, body shampoo, a book (maybe), toothbrush, toothpaste, plastic bags (just in case someone pukes) ......

Anticipations ;D

6 December 2008

Yay! 周生 (he was hilarious!) let us go home early at around 6 p.m instead of 10 p.m~

If it has gone according to the plan then I will probably still be in school right now. Phew

And my cousins are here, to stay the night. Nights. Today and tomorrow. This is good news for me, if I'm still 11 years old. But I'm not, so I don't suppose it's something very pleasant. Especially when my baby cousin keeps howling and yowling, crying and sobbing, screaming and shrieking .....

I can't wait till next Saturday! A few of my friends and I planned to go to Tesco to shop for food to bring to KL. Haha. Cup noodles and junk food, here we come! Can't wait till I leave Penang. Even though it's only for a few days.

And Chiew Na promised to treat me to a slice of Secret Recipe cake, since she didn't give me a present on my birthday! Whee! ;D

Excited and Exhausted

5 December 2008

Only less than a fortnight before we're leaving for KL for the CO competition!!

I'm very excited, actually!

(When I should really be feeling nervous~)

Anyway. Very tired these days!

Was at school until 4 o'clock yesterday, for the CO Farewell. Chiew Na, Hsieh Ying, Lee Mei and A Xin came home with us. Did some crazy stuff *winks*, ate chocolates, took some photos. At night, we went to the Korean Concert at Dewan Sri Pinang. Also took some photos and recorded a few videos.

I will try (TRY) to upload them soon. Or maybe not so soon. I know, I know ... I never updated about the day we went to Youth Park. Yet.

But I'm honestly very busy. Sorry.

I'll be in school for the whole day tomorrow, from morning to night. God save me. *crosses fingers* I hope nothing bad happens.

Shi Yin won't be there! I think she's probably in Thailand right now ... =(

You know, when she was actually with us, we felt sort of annoyed because she has this crazy disease, a disease where she keeps laughing non-stop even though no one made a comment.

She was like some sort of smelly irritating fly, buzzing around me (and my PRAWNS!) ....

Now when she's not here with us, I (we) feel so bored because there isn't much to laugh at anymore. I MISS HER! And so does Een Joe. =P

I hope she has fun and comes back soon, safe and sound.

Shu Yan is also in Thailand right now! And Wei Ying is sick! So I'm the only person in my row. Aww. I miss them all!! (Balloon incident. HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN. Must kill Wei Ying.)

Okay, I really should go to bed. Goodnight!!

*crosses fingers again* Please don't let it happen tomorrow.

Happy Birthday

2 December 2008

LONG POST AHEAD!!!

Well, my birthday is over. Four days ago. Just like that.

But a happy birthday, indeed it was!

I went to school in the morning. One good thing about going to school on your birthday is you receive a lot of birthday wishes. Thanks to everyone who wished me! And those who didn't, I hope you all die a slow and painful death, THEN rot in hell. Mwahahaha. *evil cackle*

And another good thing is that you get treated nicely. At the same time you can also use this sentence : "Oi, you! Today is my birthday, help me do this! And lick my feet!!" Something like that.

Actually it doesn't work. On me anyway. Maybe I asked the wrong person. =P

So, I was out all day on my birthday. Was at school until around 4 o'clock, then Lee Mei, Shi Yin, Mok Mok, Ji, Wan and I went to Gurney!


Shi Yin and I

Was wearing a dress that day. You know, to make a statement. =P

Oh, and the tortoise is Lai Sheng's!! Damn cute, but extremely filthy.

I was on a shoe hunt!! I bought a pair of wedges with 3-inch heels. I actually wanted platform wedges but I couldn't find any nice ones. I definitely need shoes that have heels higher than 3 inches, because I'm too short!! Shorty. Yuck.

We saw Teacher LSH and Teacher WLP there!! Teacher LSH is always so funny!! =D I miss her classes. She taught my class Civics last year. Although, she does have a tendency to overreact to a lot of ... unimportant things (like forgetting to stick a paper into your exercise book).

First we saw them in Parkson. Chatted for a while. Later we saw them in Big Apple Donuts.

Talking about donuts ...



Drooling much? (LOVE THE CHOCOLATE ONE!)

Buying that many donuts was a pretty bad idea. But we all wanted to try different ones. So we bought 12. I think the person did a double take when she heard us say we wanted 12. Hahaha.

And guess who we saw??









CHIA CHIA!!

Yes, that's a donut she was holding in the photo. I practically forced her to eat it! Eh, for free you know!! Lucky for her! And lucky for us, or we'd had to flush the donuts down the toilet. Something. As long as it doesn't go into our stomachs.

Oh my gosh, I haven't seen her in ages. Shhh. Don't tell anyone, but tomorrow night I'm going to her house (wherever that might be) to chop off her long hair.

Okay. I saw someone I haven't seen for a long time and the only thing I can say is I want to chop off her hair? I'm weird. Actually, blame it on our beastly school.

While I'm on the mission to chop off Chia Chia's hair, I might as well take a detour and go set the school on fire. Yay!

I honestly thought she was joking when she said "OK, I'll go buy a card for you now," after I ... uh, accidentally (on purpose) let it slip that it was my birthday, and demanding a birthday present while coughing ... uh, on purpose. As a hint.

But it wasn't a joke. She really did bought me a card. Touched!!



She wrote "Wish you get 8As in PMR."

Damn. I so don't wanna think about it.


*********

We watched Twilight!

Uh, have I ever mentioned that I love EDWARD CULLEN?

Yes, I thought I had.

He's so gorgeous! And pretty as Bella Swan is, I still hate her because she got to kiss Edward, which we didn't get to see (and at the same time imagine ourselves as Bella) because they fucking cut off the kissing scene in the movie.

What the hell!?? The kissing scene appeared in the trailer, and they cut if off in the fucking movie. Malaysia is so awesome.

Kissing. If they cut off sex scenes from movies I wouldn't grumble so much. KISSING. I don't care whether the kissing involved tongues or not. It's still just a kiss. It's nothing offensive!It's not like kissing is something ... alien. Something nobody does. Something bad.

AND I think the movie was rated 13PG. Hello. 13 years old.

Anyway, the movie was quite a disappointment for me!

IF you read the book, then you'll think the movie suck. Big time. Okay, maybe not that bad. But not that good either. But the action scenes were rather good! I liked them.

IF you did not read the book, I suppose you'll find the movie quite ... err, pleasant and nice to watch. I SUPPOSE.

But the beginning of the movie is so ambiguous!! If I didn't read the book I probably wouldn't know what it was talking about.

And I'm just a tad bit suspicious that the kissing scene wasn't the only part they cut off. Bullshit.

Shu Mei said the movie was quite satisfying ... for her. She said we're not supposed to compare it with the book!! True. But easier said than done. So, I'm planning not to read New Moon until I watched the movie. Don't know when it's coming out, but ... well, eventually. Just be patient!

After the movie, we went to Nando's for supper. Arrgh. That is how one becomes fat.

First Delimanjoo. Then the creamy, sweet, glazed donuts. Then popcorn. THEN Nando's.





We didn't actually eat a lot, just a plate of rice and the Peri chips we all shared.

And the tortoise is called Lai Lai!! Named after his/her/it's owner, obviously. Lai Sheng and Lai Lai the Tortoise!! ;D

The adorable Lai Lai experienced a lot of things that day! He/she/it watched a movie (starring the hot Robert Pattinson, no less), shopped for shoes, ate donuts, took photos, get hugged, ate Peri chips (and burned he/she/it's tongue) ....


Lee Mei, Shi Yin and I (and Lai Lai)

The blur version of the photo (don't know what happened. Resizing, probably). Will change to the clear version when I copied the file over to this laptop I'm using.

Oh, we did something hilarious, something very stupid when we were leaving Gurney!!

It was quite late, and the escalators had stopped functioning. So we climbed up to the fourth floor (oh, the agony!) and then my sister said that that was the floor my brother parked his car. But Mok Mok and Shi Yin (trying to show off their stamina, probably, moving so fast) had already went onto the escalator (which was still functioning) to the fifth floor.

So we waved goodbye to them.

Then suddenly we realized that the car is at the fifth floor! So we should all go up, right? But I got the idea to wait until Mok Mok and Shi Yin come down, then we go up. To waste their time. For a bit of fun.

So we beckoned to the both of them, feigning worried expressions while pointing at our watches, indicating that it was very late. Then when the both of them stepped onto the escalator going down to the fourth floor, we stepped onto the one going up. xD

Sensibly (for once), Shi Yin just flew down, and then after minutes joined us.

Mok Mok, instead, tried to turn back and climb the descending escalator. Hahaha. Of course she failed. LOL. Not that easy to climb a descending escalator, eh? *snigger* We, on the other escalator, watched Mok Mok struggling to climb back up, and we almost fell off the escalator laughing. (Okay. I'm exaggerating. Again.)

It doesn't really SOUND funny, does it? You have to watch it to ... uh, catch the ... humour, yes.



The card Mok Mok gave me along with my present. =) It's very pretty, no?

When Hsieh Ying saw it, she still said, "Wow, this person so good, she also printed a card for you!!" Wrong. They're all hand-written. So nice!!

Mok Mok didn't even write her name on the card okay!! So mysterious. Like a secret admirer. *wink*

Hahaha. Yuck.

**********

We met so many people there today! Besides the teachers and Chia Chia, that is.

Saw Jing Wen and ___ (spelling?)!! Met JW and ___'s families as well. Known them since primary school, I just haven't seen them for a longgg time.

Saw some certain guys from primary school I used to hate. Used to ... uh ... quarrel, in fact. If you call insulting/calling each other names (on paper) quarreling. Bashing. Who knows.

And we also saw Jia Hui and our primary school uh ... deputy headmistress!!!!! (which is Jia Hui's cousin. OMG.)

Saw aherm. Someone else from my primary school. She waved but I was short-sighted so I didn't know who she was until my sister told me.

Saw a certain SOMEONE from school. Someones. It was completely ... unexpected. ;) For reasons I cannot explain. It was a bit of a shock, really. Because .... OK, whatever. *meek smile*

I still remember last time, when I was on duty! Aherm. It was ... *frowns* strange.

And I don't know what I'm talking about, because I keep staring at the time at the lower right hand corner of the screen.

It's 2:28 a.m, and I have to go to school tomorrow! In fact, I have to go to school everyday (excluding Sundays) starting from today. I mean yesterday. From 8 a.m until 3 p.m, but I will most probably go home at 6 p.m. For a few days.

So I'll go to bed now. Goodnight and dream of me!

Oh, and another photo before I go :



THANK YOU SUE YI! I LOVE YOU!

Not. But I am so touched. ;D

UNLESS like I suspected, this photo was taken years ago and was for someone else! But who cares. I still love Sue Yi's hair!

Talk about irrelevance.

Eh, doesn't look like her in the photo right! The eyes. I mean the eye.

Okay okay, goodnight! Hope I don't pass out tomorrow. Will update about the 26th of November soon.
