Hello hello!! Back from… SHOPPING!! Whee~~ Janice mei mei is v honoured to be da first girl to shop with me da WHOLE DAY!! Gosh we walked and walked and walked so much till we had to rest twice =_=. Anyway, it was a great day out!

List of things bought
1 Bag
1 Pants
2 Shirts
1 Belt
3 pairs of earrings
1 hair clip
1 lip gloss
1 pair of shoes

total spent on these alone: $77~ CHEAP HUH?! Hahahaha! So sad.. sha couldn’t join us today =[ never mind, we can try again soon!!! Glad that uncle/jack came to accompany us and give some opinions =] and thanks for reaching that bag that was too high up on da shelf! Haha

what happened da whole day?
Well, I was a v good girl cos I could get out of bed easily at 7.28 though I slept at 2. Now, that’s a feat ok? Usually I will laze till I’ve spent 9 hours resting on da bed. But I got up and went straight off to dhoby. Turns out, I was too early and so I ended up waiting for mei mei (Janice)

Then we went to sit outside Plaza Sing and started studying what kinda face shape and body types we have and generate a shopping list =] With that, we just walked one round in PS and we walked out. And on the way out, I met my ex-schoolmate! Haha..So we walked and realized we walked the wrong way and had to find our way back to the front and go THIS FASHION. We stayed there for 2 hours to get a belt, a black shirt and pants. I saw this nice bag but it was about 27 bucks after discount. So we decided to go bugis street and bugis junction to look for others after lunch.

Had quite a good lunch though it’s $3.80.. then we went bugis street awhile and crossed back cos SOMEONE wants to go to the toilet =_= haha.. and we rushed to the toilet like nobody’s business. Then I was eyeing on a $20 dollars bag, I met my ex-schoolmate again! Haha.. quite a long time interval and no, it wasn’t planned. But anyways =] it’s ok. Then uncle/jack came along! Took us 3 minutes to realize that cos we were so engrossed looking at other bags. So we didn’t get anything except for my hair clip and we walked back to bugis street! Mei eyed on a bag.. and thought it was $9.90 and turned out to be $17 plus. We walked almost the whole place to get another blouse looking shirt (mei bought it too!) and looked at hundred pairs of shoes before finding some comfy one.. I spent $20 and mei spent $19.90 on shoes =D and bought da cheap bag at $17. really big! I could fit my shoe box in! haha!

Yup, with that we crossed the road back to bugis junction in the rain and nearly made news. Mei mei’s slippers dropped out and we were screaming as we crossed cos there’s a car coming and well, serve us right for not waiting for the traffic lights.. yup.. we were so tired and thirsty we rested at Macs twice and got free water refill thanks to da sweet guys at the counter. Oh, then we couldn’t find a place to rest so we shared with this guy who’s a bit weird. He’s young and he keeps looking at us as we talked. Actually, I found him rather familiar but I know he’s not my old friend..so it was really awkward (esp when he see us and kinda smiled mischievously and even said ‘see you’ after we left! Yup, we headed to THE BODYSHOP and tested some perfumes, but it was a bit too ex and we gave it a miss. Next stop, Watson! Haha. They’ve got some good deals there. I bought my lip gloss for $3.90? kept testing the different shades until I found the one that was quite nice on me =D got a darker shade haha!! Jan kept going 'you like it?' like the guy on mocca dot com. =D I was saying, 'want to see more? the __ is over there! checking my matching accessories =D Then we decided to head back to KFC at hougang and get some cheesefries before Jan meets the rest to attend the wake. =[ Too bad dad won’t let me go..

Ok.. so that’s a quick summary of what we did for da WHOLE DAY and yup, I had fun with eye shadow too (didn’t buy cos I couldn’t find something suitable) Thanks mei mei and uncle for going out with me =] *hugs hugs. Was v amusing cos mei ask me to bargain for her shoes like how I bargain for my bag. But they won’t budge. Uncle and I said it was at equilibrium price le and so cannot lower. Then we thought, no it’s monopoly cos they fix the price and you decide whether you want or not.. can only get from this shop. So mei was a bit sad and happy anyway cos she got her shoes!!

Ok, so I’m back home and took a long bathe plus soaked my feet in warm water till they turned pink! It’s v relaxing after a long day! Have fun, people! =D

See ya!



Added after I found some horrible truths!
The shop ppl lied to me/us! The blouse-shirt cannot be worn!! oh no! and the pants has a small hole! Gotta go and change them =[ well, first time shopping is like first time doing a maths question. Make mistake, do corrections lo. but I got a scolding from my dad and mum.. cos they think what I bought ain't good and dad says I should have bought stuff from THIS FASHION *humphs. really angry ok. but then, if I'm going to die tomorrow, what for I get angry over such small stuff?

Sigh.. seize the day and live like there's no tomorrow.

Life is unpredictable.

Even a bright candle flame that seems to be burning steadily, can be extinguished suddenly.

When I got to know that Mr Loh was missing, I silently prayed. But I knew there was nothing I could really do to help. Perhaps, deep inside, we already knew what the end was going to be like. Until evening, our fears were confirmed and there, he's gone. Somehow, my mind conjured images of his death.. it hurts. But it didn't hurt as much until all the memories we shared came flooding back. I admit, I cried.. (even as I am typing)

I still remember a couple of months ago, how he told us he was excited about this trip, how hard they trained every week. He said he liked this meaningful life. I still remember his smile, his energy, his zest for life.. Still remember how he told us to relax and don't get so stressed.. that exams aren't all that scary..

Mr Loh, though we may not be very closely related, I can tell you are a good man. When you're gone, it means that a parent lost a son, a sister lost a brother, a teacher lost a student, a student lost a teacher, a friend lost a friend..

But you know what? You're still very alive in our (at least, my) memory.. and I'll always remember you ='} Though you may not have made it back, I'll continue running this race of life and bring joy to this world.

I love you and may you rest in peace.

For that, I shall not post the cursing session because I know how much it hurts for someone to lose another loved one.

hello hello! Freed from studying today! Had fun getting lost in IKEA. [ya.. that one in Tampines] just slacked da whole day chatting on da phone for almost 2 hours, watching tv for 3-4 hours.. yea. I'm so cut out to be a total slacker. ;)

As promised.. I wanna express my heartfelt gratitude to da people who cared and gave me the strength to go on when I thought everything was lost.

Let's start with da teachers =]
Mr Tan (ET): Thanks a lot for all da coaching since the start of the year. Man, I couldn't have done it without you =] you are my hero! [saving me from wacky maths questions] pushing me when I wanna slack.. guiding me when I got totally lost in the complex world of complex numbers.. Yea.. even your photo in my phone motivated me to do more maths =p (shi fu! wo ai ni!)

Ms Wong: Thanks for all da one-one consultation. I think I took up a lot of your free time too. Sorry about that. Talked sooo long on da phone for bio. Thanks a lot. You made me a better bio student. Yea, I know my results don't really show but hey, I really STILL love bio =]

Mr Lee: Hi! Though you keep asking me to be less stupid, I think I still am a bit stupid in econs class ba. But I really enjoyed your lessons.. cos they were stress-free. I’m sorry if I didn’t do well. BUT it’s poor time management ^_^ not dunno. Anyway, it’s over and I just hope that things will be fine.

Ms Sim: Hello.. thank you for going through the TEN-YEAR SERIES in TEN DAYS. Though I have to say, I hated paper 3 and I guess paper 1 was quite tough, I’m proud to say that I have put in a lot more effort in chem this time. Whether I do well or not.. let fate decide. =]

Ms Masnidah: Hihi, thank you for teaching gp from square one. Though I think you find it exasperating to teach us, the efforts are not wasted (hopefully) Thank you so much for bringing up so many issues throughout the year.

Mr Leong: I had a crush on you! (oops) Thanks for being a nice teacher, always telling us jokes in class. I really loved your lessons =]


Ok.. now for my buddies out there!

Shasha: jie jie :’) 2 years is over so fast and I thought this is just the beginning of our friendship. Thank you for hugging me when I need some comfort and when I cry (so embarrassing in school le) Thanks for encouraging me when I’m slacking and not mugging hard enough, teaching me some weird chem stuff when I’m blur.. Thanks for showering me with so many gifts too =] Haha.. no matter where you are, we’ll be sisters always ;) And I’ll be da children’s gan ma next time! Keep in touch!

Janice: Mei mei..thanks for being da stable partner, handling all da admin stuff when I hang >.< I’ve learnt a lot from you.. Being more responsible and resilient =] Thanks for being my ‘go to sleep’ buddy and calling me at 11.30 so that I don’t sleep too late. Thanks for sharing so much with me =]

Jie Lin: hello darling! Sama sama, thanks for calling me to go sleep >.< and sharing all da good/bad times.

Benjamin: Hihi! Thanks for being my gp buddy and ‘wake up call’ buddy. So sorry to trouble you when we don’t really take the same subjects. But I had lotsa fun talking to you^_^ and yea, so sorry for being a piggy and not wakin up on my own. Seriously, if you know someone’s gonna wake you up, then you’re more likely to wake up. =] and you’re an early bird [I’m da night owl, see?]

Jack: Long Jun! thanks for being a faithful, stable friend.. sometimes when I gabrah, you were there to comfort me =] Thanks for teaching kinetics late at night! Gosh.. I think I know it so much better =] And yup, we are good friends! (not couple k? couple = F x d , where d is the length of the parallel beam =_=) Thanks for all da lame jokes and sorry if I scared you when I was in emo mode, crying and pressing my calculator that’s not turned on =p

Esther: Oh dearie, thanks for being a funny fren. Had lotsa fun studying with you in da lib. Do try to be more optimistic k? =] You can do it!

Xinhui: Yo! Thanks for mugging chem at 2-3am with me! ^_^ good motivation then! Enjoyed mugging with you, really. You have a lot of drive. Haiz. I feel like a super slacker. If not for you guys, I won’t be so motivated to study ;)

And all da people who sent their well wishes including hippo, kim, quan, sel, Fiona, jacinda and Damien!

Lastly, for moi family..

Thank you for being soo considerate.. you guys won’t even turn up da volume of da tv.. in case it might disturb me.. and I’m utterly sorry for giving in to temptation all da time, popping by just to catch a bit of da programme..

Thanks dad, no matter how horrible sounding you may be, I know that you have my best interests at heart. I love you a lot and no matter how angry I may get at any time, this will never change.

Thanks mum, though you get as quirky as dad during this period, I know that you guys are more worried than I am. Thanks for caring soooo much.. [but seriously, I need to grow up.. you need to give me some space to grow up, no?]

Thanks jie, for giving us a cute little jun sian! Haha.. holding him makes me forget my worries. He takes after you =] Has got this handsome smile that’s so sweet! =D

freedom soon!! free from textbooks/notes/prelim papers/exams papers/nightmares!!!!! yup! I'll be released on 22/11/2007. Available for dates but I gotta checked. Currently booked on 25,27 Nov and some day in Dec. (By jie jie and mei mei, of course. Not uncle, in case you weirdos start thinking weird stuff..) Exams aren't over yet, so I shan't talk too much. Have been doing lotsa tickle tests just to feel less stressed ^_^ Shall upload some interesting results.
Post exams blogging plans:
1. Thanking session
2. Cursing session
3. Change blogskin
4. Post exam plans
5. Recounting da school days before I forget them. =]

I know I know.. I'm still slacking =

Saw this on y.q's blog and I thought I wanna draft out 8 things my perfect partner should have too ^_^ I believe there can be no perfect partner.. so having this 8 things are quite good..

My hubby should be..
1. SENSIBLE: Cos I tend to get into a lot of trouble, acting on impulse and need some on to at least think through da consequences of my actions.
2. SMART: well, I don't think I'm very smart.. So it's good to have a smart hubby and smart people can influence you and make you a bit smarter ^_^
3. ADVENTUROUS: owing to my deprived teenage years and childhood, I so totally need someone who can stand my craziness sometimes and play some exciting games/go on some nice backpacking trips/just having fun.
4. PATIENT: Well, I'm still quite a kid (at least for now, and I really tried to grow up but guess I'm not determined enough) So I need a guy who won't mind if I got into my one of my sulky days and saying things that I don't mean to say..
5. GENEROUS: I can't stand guys who are petty and selfish. I consider that as un-manly behaviour. Being generous doesn't mean being extravagent. It just means that you can bear to part with a little of what's yours and share it with someone else. Though my dad always say I'm silly.. (he's of the idea that I should learn to 'take' and not keep giving) I think that what I've given others is not really enough..
6. HUMOUROUS: I love funny guys who can make me laugh till my cheek aches. haha. oops.. well, I'm quite a class clown and would love to have another join da circus! Plus, laughter is the best medicine when I'm down =] and I can cheer my guy up if he's sad too..
7. FAITHFUL: Oh yea.. I can't stand guys who flirt AFTER they have girlfriends. I'm not exactly a traditional lover. But hey, I'm an OBSESSIVE love. Meaning, if I really love someone, I'd give all that I've got and give/demand his attention. (scary, huh?) So.. being an attention-seeker, I can't really stand it when my guy sets his eyes on some other girl..(I might gorge his eyes out! meooow!)
8. MOTIVATED: No point having a guy who's smart, patient, generous, faithful, adventurous, humourous and sensible but no energy.. It'll be difficult to get things done if the guy just doesn't want to do anything.. Though I have lots of energy to supply, I need another energy rich guy to make things happen! ^_^ Must have enough energy to overcome Ea (activation energy) and be in the correct orientation to have a reaction! (haha.. depends on what reaction you're thinking about..)

Am I asking for too much? Does this guy exist? Even if he does, perhaps he's not meant for me?? Oh well.. Hope the future will be better with or without this person..
freedom soon!! free from textbooks/notes/prelim papers/exams papers/nightmares!!!!!

yup! I'll be released on 22/11/2007. Available for dates but I gotta checked. Currently booked on 25,27 Nov and some day in Dec. (By jie jie and mei mei, of course. Not uncle, in case you weirdos start thinking weird stuff..)
