2006-12-18T20:31:00.000-12:00

Sentosa with viv rach & gourie was pretty fun (: Checked in Monday afternoon and then we lazed around in the room for a while before going to the beach. The room was pretty nice & clean but terribly cold. The 4 of us ended up sharing a water bee which was hilarious. Initially, rach and gou were the ones steering the thing & viv and I were the ones sitting at the back. That was pretty fun cause viv & I were enjoying ourselves & taking pictures while the other 2 were slogging it off ;) They were pretty good at handling the thing but vivien was screaming away at them cause she was scared that they'd cross the boundary. Hahaha then we switched positions so viv & I had to paddle with the other 2 behind. Boy it was so tiring. Hahahaha we were taking short breaks cause our thighs were aching bad. And we seemed to be going round and round so in the end we kinda gave up (:

I jumped into the sea and they wanted to leave without me :( But in the end viv jumped in too & I was like floating about cause of the lifejacket which they made us wear. It was hilarious cause I couldn't even swim properly and I was like bobbing up and down & vivien thought it was very funny and kept taking weird pictures of me. Then they went swimming in the pool while I sat out because... And there was so much drama cause Viv lost her bracelet in the pool so she was trying to find it & they even got the lifeguards to lend them goggles.

Well they eventually found it but it was like 2.1m deep so they couldn't reach it. It was hilarious cause the 3 of them kept surrounding that area and moving about. Vivien tried to pull me into the pool so that I could dive and help her retrieve it but I refused. And they were pretty stressed so I was just trying to lighten the mood & was like "what if it's aluminium foil & not the bracelet" and they said I was insensitive! My oh my. But in the end gourie saved the day cause she managed to get it before the life guard jumped in to help.

It was really pouring so we couldn't explore the island so we took the bus to Vivocity & had dinner there where Gourie filled us in on the latest (as usual!). Then we went back & gourie and viv taught the 2 of us how to play pool. Hahaha then we played table tennis, went to the arcade and sat by the lounge & ordered drinks. There was a live band & they were good. Sat there for quite some time then we went back to table tennis (:

By the time we went up to the room it was like 12 plus. Washed up and then we played cards. And then we played bridge and viv & I won. HAHAHA FINALLY. I was so happy (: And then we played taitee and guess who won??? (: (: My first time okay. Then we played bluff (which gourie was terrible at), chase the ace, pencils etc. Ended up playing truth or truth with gourie and rach and it was hilarious. Gourie & I were practically attacking each other with questions while Rachel just kept laughing. Slept around 3 plus and then we went for breakfast this morning.

All in all, it was a nice break with the tennis girls (: The weather was a let down but at least we had fun! Anyway, I missed out some things but you can read it here... http://www.xanga.com/endangered8/

Just have a little, patience (shar isn't this familiar? lol )

I'm still hurting from a love I lost
I'm feeling your frustration
But any minute all the pain will stop
Just hold me close inside your arms tonight
Dont be too hard on my emotions

Cause I, need time
My heart is numb, has no feeling
So while I'm still healing
Just try and have a little patience

I really wanna start over again
I know you wanna be my salvation
The one that I can always depend
I'll try to be strong, believe me
I'm trying to move on
It's complicated but understand me

I like Gary Barlow (: Hahaha

2006-12-15T15:32:00.000-12:00

I have like 3 million photos to put up. Hahahaha okay I'm exaggerating a little but omg shar, we took exactly 750 pictures. That is insane! Yesterday passed really quickly cause I woke up at 2pm :/ I slept at 2am & woke up at 2pm. Hahaha 12 hours of sleep but I can't beat sharlene who slept for 16 hours and woke up at 5pm. I'm not sure if I've recovered from jet lag yet cause last night I slept around 12 and then I woke up at 4 to use the loo & couldn't sleep for 2 hours after that. But I woke up at 10 this morning. Ling came back from London yesterday so we went to the airport to pick her up! Everyone was really excited & during my trip there I realised she lost some weight but I think she lost quite a bit cause she was trying on her jeans she left behind here last night & they were baggy. Now I so cannot wait for my turn to come in 2 years time for college there.

All souls church with Ling & her friends, michelle & squish.

Tower of London

Aunty Pam's house. Omg I LOVE her house (!!!) cause it's so cosy and warm and she has a tv in her kitchen. Hahaha

2006-12-14T04:17:00.000-12:00

Touched down safely around 3.30pm Singapore time (: The flight back was okay but I had this annoying guy who was sitting in front of me & he kept on pushing his chair all the way back, even during meal times. It was so annoying. But there was a cute little english girl who was probably 2 or so next to me & she kept touching my ring. Lol and the time passed really fast. Basically I watched some cantonese show that was supposed to be a comedy but wasn't. Then I played Shanghai (omg my favourite game now) and then I watched Titanic. Hahahaha so not funny okay. I think it's a really sweet & sappy movie but I didn't finish it cause we were arriving.

Came home & unpacked then I went to meet Viv for coffee to catch up. Then we took a cab to watch Su's doubles at kallang. I'm already starting to miss London :( I'm glad I managed to go to London this year because it definitely helped me in making a very important decision & now I know what to do. Plus I got to spend time with my sister & I'm so proud of her. Just after being there for 3 months, she's matured so much & become so much more independant. Seriously, I'm very proud of you Ling (: The year's ending so quickly but I have to say that 2006 has been a good year overall.

Okay I need to sleep now & I can't wait for Sentosa on monday with the girls (: (:

let it be a sweet sound

2006-12-12T04:16:00.000-12:00

Okay shar and I are at the internet cafe @ cafe nero in High street ken. We've got like 2 hours to kill before meeting her brother for dinner plus we are broke so there's no point in shopping since we can't get things so yes, we're online. Today we went to the natural history museum around noon which was interesting but we felt kinda cheated cause outside it said free entrance. Then when we got in we had to pay 8 pounds (24 dollars) to enter the dinosaur exhibition so of course we did. But we realised you could roam around without going to the dinosaur exhibit. Ahhhhhh but anw it was pretty interesting. Then we decided to have lunch at this restaurant called Little Tokyo since we wanted jap food but it wasn't that fab. Hahaha shar and I were moaning throughout the meal.

Now I'll recap what's happened since I last updated. So on friday morning, we ( shar, aunty pam, uncle david, paul, kerry & I) left for france. We drove to Kent which is another part of the UK and then we drove into this super cool ship where we parked the car and boarded the ship. I guess it's somewhat like a cruise (though I've never been on a cruise unlike lisze who goes on one every holiday). Haha but they have cute DFS shops and coffee outlets etc. Then we arrive in Calais & drove around before having lunch at a really cute quaint restaurant. The food was fab, shar and i both had steak and then the dessert was good. We also had christmas crackers so we wore party hats during lunch. Haha then we drove to Boulogne which is another town and went to the hypermart. Then we took the ship back to England at night and arrived home around 9 plus and aunty pam made profiteroles (: (: (:

On Saturday we went to Portebello Market that was REALLY COOL. It's a huge flea market which is really packed and everyone pushes each other and they sell food, clothes, shoes, accessories and antique items. The most interesting section was the antique part where they have antique dolls, cameras, swords, pictures, photos, books from the 1920s up till like 1980s I think. Basically they have whatever you can think of... even tennis rackets! I managed to get this super cool camera from the 1950s that really was a good deal. The guy says it's still working so I need to get film when I get back but even if it's spoilt, I don't really care cause I can use it as a decoration. I think tiff would love that place. Then after that we had chinese takeaway which was good cause we were starving.

We went to Ling's church, All Souls on Sunday with ling squish michelle jasmine etc and they were having a family service. It's pretty much like st. georges. Then after that a few of us went to spitalfields market (yet another flea market!!) but shar wasn't feeling well so I sat with her in cafe nero while she slept for 2 hours and I was solving my sudoku puzzles (: Then we had a DIY dinner as we bought roast chicken from waitrose and just heated soup in ling's rice cooker and then we had dessert.

On Monday we went back to my aunt's in Roehampton which is like a 40 min drive from central london. Then we went out for lunch with my uncle and another aunt at croyden and had some buffet. Okayso basically, in London they sell alot of Singapore fried noodles. But we were all saying that there is NO SUCH THING in Singapore. Like every chinese restaurant we've been to has singapore fried noodles. Hahahaha or like chow mein. They are obsessed with it okay. Like everything with noodles here is either.... chow mein OR singapore fried noodles. Lol ;)

We're leaving for Singapore tomorrow around 6.15 pm and arrive back around 3.20 on Thursday singapore time. Omg this trip has passed really quickly :( I think this trip's been one of the best ones cause travelling alone makes you more independant. Hahaha really it does. And I got to meet ling's friends who are really nice and shop quite alot (: Okay I better go now.

xoxo

2006-12-07T05:53:00.000-12:00

Hello once again (: Shar & I are at aunty pam's place now & we've got the whole house to ourselves which is really cool cause aunty pam & uncle david went for some tennis exhibition in central london & mcenroe is playing Niki's still at work & kerry's out. I love love love LOVE their house. Hahaha I think I have an obsession with it, if I had a house like that I'd probably never go out. So today (thursday), we went to Tower of London in the late morning which was interesting. On our way to tower of london, the rain suddenly came and the wind was unbelievably strong. Then the wind was so strong that it broke shar's umbrella. And there was hail. Like omg, the hail stones were falling on my face and it hurt bad. We followed the yeoman on the guided tour for about half an hour before we decided to roam on our owns cause we were kinda rushed for time. So we covered the jewel palace which had gorgeous crowns, the bloody tower where the 2 princes disappeared and some other towers. The tower ground is really pretty though cause it's really green. I'll post pictures when I get back. And we saw the ravens flying around near the ground. They are HUGE and ugly. Like mega super humongous fat crows. Hahahaha then we had lunch and went back to ling's to get our luggage. We had to take the british rail to get to purley and we didn't know that we had to press the button for the doors to open so we stupidly stood there. Hahaha it was funny. And then when the train started moving we were like omg & I was like maybe the train will turn around and shar though that was stupid. Hahahaha but it was a good experience anw.

Tuesday was spent at oxford street/regent street/bond street with shar and ling. We did some good shopping & then we were starving so we had macs for lunch. We went to hamleys, the biggest toy store in the world but we didn't get anything. They had this really really cute dog on this string & when you pull it, it gallops. I really liked it but figured it'd look kinda retarded cause imagine a 16 year old dragging a toy dog on a string. HAHA and they had this monster toys that start shaking and talking when you clap. The 3 of us were so fascinate by it & we were clapping away. Hahah cheap thrill. Then we had chinese takeaway for dinner & lazed around in ling's room and jiayun came up & we were talking about teachers from tk for example psycho (ATTN VERA) hahaha.

Wednesday was spent at madame tussauds. It was really really cool & some of the wax figures were really real. But jennifer aniston looked oily & madonna looked to young. Hahaha we took like a gazillion photos. I sat next to jamie oliver, hugged john travolta & oprah, sat on picasso (lol) and then there was christina aguilera who looked very real. And brad pitt and angelina jolie (yuck). There was also shakespeare, oscar wilde, sadam hussein. Oh yes, shar & i took a picture standing at the UN thing with george bush and tony blaire. Oh and there was will smith & when shar was like asking who that was I said so loudly, CRAIG DAVID then she was like no la, will smith. Hahaha talk about embarassing then we met ling in the afternoon & went for dinner with her and michelle. Squish met us after that and we got tickets for les miserbales. It was really good but shar and i were dozing off at some parts cause we were so tired. Hahaha but the cast and singing as good. And liked jon from s club was one of the main roles. I was thinking he looked so familiar and when i told them during the break only michelle agreed. Haha Ling was like no la it's not him. But when we got home, squish checked online and it was him and he could sing well. Supposedly he was starring in les mis even before he joined s club then now he's gone back!!! Hahaha I knew it and Ling was like wow not bad eh ;) Afterall, I was once a major sclub fan okay!!! Hahaha

Okay we're gonna have dinner soon so I've got to go now. Bye (:

london (:

2006-12-04T08:15:00.000-12:00

Greetings from London (: I'm currently in Ling's hostel at Russell Square. So we arrived on Friday & the past 3 days have been AWESOME. Seriously, we did MAJOR shopping at Kingston and I kinda blew 300 dollars on things. Hahaha but not everything's for me, like half are presents for others. Let me do a quick recap...

Friday
Arrived around 5 & my aunt picked us up from the airport. It rained the whole day so it was pretty chilly. Well actually the weather's not too bad though. Past few days have been nice & it's warmer than I expected. Around 9 to 12 degrees. Then we went to her place to wash up & went to Harrods & I got a few bags and stuff. The bus journey was good cause we took pretty pictures and stuff. Then we went to High Street Kensington & we were like all excited about shopping but we only had time to go into H&M. Accessories there were awesome so we got them. Then we had to rush back cause Ling was coming over. Btw it gets dark around 4pm here since it's winter. Then we had dinner at home & went to bed.

Saturday
We went to Kingston in the morning & then we went to Primark. Omg that shop is AMAZING. Hahahahaha seriously. The clothes and all aren't that good cause the quality isn't so good but the accessories & bags and pyjamas are like WOW. HAHAHAHA so we went crazy grabbing bags and stuff. I got like this bag in 3 to 4 different colours. One for rach su etc etc. I filled 2 baskets and yeah it was alot of fun though. And we had this donuts called dinky donuts that were yum. Met my cousin, Kraisorn & his girlfriend Letrang. She's really nice (: We had sunday roast for dinner which was good :D

Sunday
Went to our house in Earls Court to take photos so that my parents can see the condition it's in. Hahaha after being vacant for 10 years, it's terrible. Like the floor and everything is bad but the house itself is gorgeous. Plus there are many rooms so I hope they do it up. Then we went to aunty mercy's thai restaurant for lunch & we ate soooo much. But the food was really good (: Then we were supposed to go to Richmond Park but it was closing :( Hmmm went to my Uncle's pub thingy and we went to the kitchen which was cool. And we had sunday roast again.

Today we left my aunt's place in the morning & we took the tube. We were supposed to wait for Ling at the tube station but we were early. Anyway, so we got off at Russell Square & cause it's way underground, you need to take the lift up. But we were impatient & decided to climb the stairs though it said 175 steps. Okay and we had like one suitcase each cause we needed to bring clothes. So imagine lugging the suitcase up 175 steps. The thing is we kinda though it would be easy cause 175 doesn't seem that much but oh trust me... Hahahaha I felt like I was about to collapse after that seriously. So I was panting away & we had to go get a cuppa coffee. Then we decided to be independant and navigate our way to Ling's hostel & we did it. Yay we're so independant seriously. Hahaha even my sis was amazed by how capable our navigating skills are. Met a few of her friends then shar & I left to meet Niki.

Omg niki lost so much weight and she's so pretty. Hahaha shar says she's the prettiest girl she's seen. We went to camden market which was interesting but pretty dodgy. Hmmm then we went to covent garden for lunch which was good and filling. Walked around and got a few things. Came back to russell square & we had chinese food with my sis and her 2 friends. Omg they're hilarious. Hahahaha they made me laugh so hard.

We're staying with Ling till Wed night then Thurs we're going up to aunty pam's in croyden. Friday we'll be in france & over the weekend we'll be back with Ling. Okay I gotta scram cause shar wants to use it now. Take care & I miss you guys. I'll upload pics when I get back

xoxo,
hwee

look after you.

2006-11-29T22:20:00.000-12:00

Okay I'm all packed for the trip (: I only need to pack in my toothbrush, hair brush & retainers and I'm done. My maid is an awesome packer seriously. Hahaha I kinda just put everything by my luggage & she helped me fold the clothes and stuff things inside & she can really maximise space. I am really bad at packing cause I never know how to fully use the space so yay for my maid (:

And I can't bring my multivitamins & iron tablets cause they have to be crushed cause I can't swallow pills. And normally my maid crushes them for me cause they're super hard to crush & my mum was pretty mad cause she thinks it's high time I learn how to swallow pills :/ And then my mum was like telling me that I better overcome the fear of swallowing pills if not it'll be hard in the future and she was like "don't tell me you expect to have a maid to follow you around when you study overseas in the future just to crush your pills" HAHAHA i was like laughing away cause I found it funny but I think my mum really meant it :( But I really can't so I'm jsut gonna bring orange vitamin c chewable tablets.

Today passed by really quickly. I got my hair highlighted today & it's reddish brown & I like the way they did it so now I have a few streaks & luckily it's not too obvious which is what I wanted. Then I went to do my nails with Mum & I got them done reddish brown. Shar was so lame cause I was messaging her & she was asking what colour my nails are so I was like " I've got red hair & red nails". And she was like " Oh okay I'm doing my nails black so I've got black nails & black hair". HAHAHAHA omg what a retard but I bet the trip's going to be wicked. I'm supposed to meet shar at the airport at 9.

After that we went to get some jewellery for nicky kerry & letran. The lady in the shop was SO annoying. We were just kinda looking around & she kept trying to get us to buy something & kept promoting these crystals that weren't even nice. Hahaha I was so annoyed but Mum was tolerant & even had a conversation with her. She was really pushy too & in the end we got them earrings & rings. Then she was like asking who they were for & cause we don't exactly know nicky's ring size but we just got her like my size & the woman was going on about how we can change the size & my mum was like, oh but they live in UK. Then the woman was blabbing on about oh who are they blah blah so Mum was like oh they're my nieces. Hahahaha I was like thinking NIECES? SINCE WHEN. But I figured if Mum said friends kids then she'd ask more questions. And lo & behold, she asked how many nieces Mum has. Omg what a kaypo!!! Then she asked how many kids Mum has & the usual questions like "oh how old" and my Mum actually replied. Then she was asking why Ling's in london blah blah omg to cut the long story short, she was plain irritating. Then she tried to get Mum to get some ugly earrings (hahahaha) but luckily I was like eew no & then that lady was trying to act all friendly & started telling my mummy that no one would think I'm her daughter if she didn't say so.

What nonsense?!?! I do not look that old & neither does my mum look that young. Hahaha seriously, I mean my Mum doesn't dress like an aunty & has cute clothes but you can definitely tell she's in her 40s but that lady was trying to imply that we look like sisters?!?! Omg hahahaha what a cheat. So I was telling Mum not to fall for her trick but obviously my Mum was smiling away cause of what the lady said like lol. But luckily she didn't get those ugly earrings in the end (:

Okay I need to take a quick shower & then change into my clothes for the airport (: I'll try to blog once more in the airport if we have time cause I want to do duty free shopping & get perfume. Hahaha this is making full use of the opportunity okay! But if I don't, I'll miss all of you & have a fabulous holiday (:

Okay I just talked to my sis on MSN & this just goes to show how retarded we are. Hahahaha she keeps telling me London isn't safe & stuff which makes me really scared now but nevermind, my aunt's picking us up when we get there & then we're meeting my sis at night.

2006-11-29T03:52:00.000-12:00

Just got back from dinner with the team at Giraffe which was wonderful as usual. Time spent with them basically means laughing till our tummies hurt, love, listening to shaofang's jokes (lol) & gossiping. Steffi & Phoebe didn't join us cause Steffi was sick & Phoebe's in Penang. So it was just 6 of us plus Mr Ang & Annabelle. I'm really glad that through the 4 years, we've been able to remain this close & I really look forward to meeting up at least twice a year in the coming years. We might not have recess together everyday/ spend time with each other after school/ meet in the morning everyday but that doesn't mean that we're any less bonded. The fact that we all bother to meet up for regular dinners proves that we've all managed to find loyal/ trustworthy & reliable friends in one another. Thank you viv shaofang rach lisze gourie phoebe and steffi (: I know life in TK would have never been this much fun without you guys & I'm going to miss you whole lot next year.

Met Rach around late morning & we went to parkway. Managed to get most of the things for my trip & then she got her shoes from topshop. We were waiting for lisze so we went to coffee bean to grab a drink & then we sat for a while. After lisze came we had lunch together at the japanese restaurant & then I came back to pack.

I'm so tired now & I feel drained for some reason. It's not like I've been doing much for the past few days but I just feel tired. I need a good sleep tonight. Sometimes I think that I think too much. At night, I lie in bed weighing possiblities & spending time thinking and thinking, just hoping to find an answer to my doubts and uncertainties. I always end up falling asleep after like 20 minutes though cause I sleep really easily. Hahahaha but still, the fact that I think about the weirdest things scare me sometimes.

"The first time ever I saw your face" by George Michael is playing now & it's weird cause I cannot stand George Michael but I love that song (: And what are the odds of the song playing when I was just thinking about the lyrics a while ago. Maybe I should just let time deal with everything...

Tomorrow's going to be an exciting day. Probably going to pop by to Parkway again to get my nails done cause they're chipped now & I want to get them done in dark red. I'm considering highlighting my hair tomorrow but I'm not sure cause Mum thinks I shouldn't cause it's drying plus the weather in London is dry too so I should wait till I get back. I shall go to Reds tomorrow & get some advice. I don't really know what colour I want cause I've done purple brown & bronze before but this time I don't want it to be very obvious but more subtle instead. Then shar & I will be leaving at night... I'll probably update this once more before I leave. In the airport or something (:

Till then,
xoxo

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes

2006-11-27T19:29:00.000-12:00

So it's just two more days. I am so excited and I think I'm going to be jumping about on thursday since we're leaving at night. I don't particularly like night flights cause you end up sleeping on the plane & then you miss out on all the entertainment & songs. Omg su told me that they have The Kooks album on the plane (!!!) But I'll have to sleep on the plane cause the flight's at 11.20. I love long flights but 13 hours... It's been 3 years since I've been back & I'm very anxious to see everyone again and Ling too (:

So we're gonna be going into France for a daytrip with Aunty Pam & Uncle David when we're there! I'm looking forward to that definitely & I can't wait to run to Asda and get quavers. Lol anyway, I'm in one of my stay-home moods today. I'm feeling antisocial & I'm just going to coop myself at home & read. Hahaha rachel woke me up at like 10 & she was going on about her vietnam trip & then I spent the morning reading & watching tv.

I finished The Burn Journals yesterday & that was good too. I'm proud of myself for finishing 2 books this holiday cause usually I'm not really into books but these books were good. And now, I'm reading The Little Prisoner which is about abuse & stuff. It's pretty sad but it's good. And for people who think I'm a sadist just cause I enjoy reading war novels & books on abuse etc, I am not!!!!!! Like in the note from the author (Jane Elliot), she says that " I don't think it's the abuse they want to hear about, but the fact that some of the children who suffer from it manage to survive and ultimately triumph. They want to be shocked at the start of the book, crying in the middle & exultant at the end" that is like soooooo true. I always find it hard to explain why I really enjoy reading books on abuse & I guess she's got the answer!

Plus she says that the audience for books like hers fall into 2 categories. "Firstly there are those who come from stable, happy homes, who can't understand how anyone can abuse a child, and want to find out about a world they can barely imagine. Secondly there are those who suffered something similar themselves and find some comfort in discovering that they are not alone in the world. " Ah yes! I fall in the first category so see, I really am not a sadist who enjoys reading about people being abused.

FINALLY meeting rach tomorrow for lunch & I think lisze's joining us. Yes Lisze I miss you too okay!!! Before that I've got an appointment with the dentist yay. Then dinner at night with the tennis team (: Yay I love team dinners cause they're always so much fun & enjoyable.

And on Sunday, it was Kara's 15th birthday. Although she won't be reading this cause she doesn't have a blog etc, I hope she had the best birthday ever. 15 years of friendship & I cannot thank her enough for being such a loyal & good friend, always offering a listening ear when times get tough & always letting me know that she's there. Though we are like 28369184 miles apart, I'm so glad to know that our friendship has lasted this long. Of course to my other best friends namely, viv rach lisze( YES YOU ARE MISSED) & stef, thank you for always listening to my never-ending stories, believing in me & giving me the support when I need it the most. And Stef, even though our projects have pretty much failed, so what?! Hahahaha ;) Keep me updated anyway.

Btw I had the weirdest ever dream yesterday. Seriously it was so warped :/ hahaha

xoxo,
hwee.

Oh no I have this feeling I'm going to fall ill but I really hope I don't. I feel really tired and sleepy & just like very lethargic. Hopefully it's because I'm just a bum but I really really really pray & hope with all my might that I'll be okay tomorrow. Oh no oh no I cannot afford to fall ill. After anticipating the trip for like half a year, it cannot happen!!!! Please pray for me (: I'm going to go to bed now & hopefully I'll feel fine tomorrow.

xoxo,
hwee.

she moves in her own way

2006-11-25T02:22:00.000-12:00

Another day spent at home... Spent the entire morning watching tv with Jingy for like 2-3 hours then after that I just lazed around & had lunch. Stef came over in the afternoon for 3 hours or so & that girl is so anti-social. So basically, she comes to my place just to use my computer & webcam with other people :( Stefanie chen I know you're gonna deny it but you so do! Hahahaha seriously. So I was all bored & ended up reading my Teen Vogue. Aunty Pam called to confirm about sightseeing and stuff in London so I've already sent her the itinery. I can't wait to see her, uncle david, niki & kerry. Probably gonna spend the first weekend with them so we can go to Camden Market with niki on a Monday. YAY CAMDEN MARKET HAHAHAHA I can't wait to buy all the cute vintage cheap necklaces & I can't wait to go to the cheap aldo shop Ling has been going on about.

I've more or less sorted out the clothes that I'm going to bring to London & I think that I'm overpacking. Hahahaha my maid's gonna help me pack the stuff tomorrow cause I'm bad at packing my suitcase cause I can never fully utilise the space. Then there's church tomorrow & meeting shar for dinner at night.

Dad, Mum & Su come back tomorrow but Dad's on an earlier flight. They called today & Mum's getting me a balenciaga motorcycle bag, not the real one of course but it's some other brand that specially manufactures replicas. I love my Mum. Okay I'm very excited about london but I still need to get my calvin klein handbag before I leave & hopefully I can get that on tuesday.

Tonight I'm very tired for some reason & basically, I'm just going to flop on the bed very soon. Sometimes I can't help but wonder how things would have turned out if...... My mind's playing games with me & half of me says to relent but the other half tells me that I'll regret my decision. Stef I think you know what I'm talking about :( Hahaha and rachel soh I heard about your stupid bingsoon plan. I miss you so much so you better come back quickly & hang out with me!

I am officially a fan of The Kooks :D

xoxo,
hwee.

with this love.

2006-11-24T01:08:00.000-12:00

At the moment, the 3 things on my christmas list are...

1) Coins of the World Charm Bracelet from MET (preferably silver)

2) Tiffany & co 1837 bangle cuff.

3) Emporio armani ladies watch

These shall suffice for now & i won't probably end up getting any of them unless i suddenly strike the lottery (not like i even play it) but what's most important is that i'll have my loved ones by my side & that everyone keeps safe and healthy (:

.
.

If your spirit's broken & you can't bear the pain
I will help you put the pieces back
A little more each day

I had an awesome time today. Training from 9 to 11 at VJ was okay though I felt like I was going to collapse after that :/ My fitness is just awful & I'd better do something about it quick. Started raining halfway so we ended up talking cause we couldn't really do physical anywhere cause they were having some exam in the hall. Came back with Viv & our sunbathing plans were pretty much ruined due to the gloomy weather. Spent some time deciding where to go so we left for parkway so I could get my camera checked. The guy says it's something to do with the computer but I've reinstalled the programme but it doesn't seem to help either.

Managed to figure out which bus goes to town & off we went (: Had a quick lunch at taka & there was this young boy and his mum next to us & something unpleasant happened... I'd rather not talk about it cause it just grossed the both of us out & I had to hurry Viv to finish her food lol. She collected her shorts, I got a pair of socks for London then we got bubble tea. Decided to do my eyebrows instead of waiting to next week so they're alot neater now but I made sure the lady just neatened them & left the shape alone cause I'm fine with my bushy eyebrows. Walked around & came home. As usual, we watched a couple of episodes of friends then we went back to parkway again & we had a very interesting conversation about lips on the way there (!!!).

Got a drink at coffee bean & we just talked and looked at some brochures then we talked some more & vivien thinks she can read my mind so well. Hahaha no vivien. Spending time with Viv is always fun & Viv I hope you manage to come up with a decision soon okay (: I'm always here if you need someone to knock some sense into/ get advice! Met lita jing & my aunt for dinner & now I'm back home.

I'm halfway through my christmas cards so I'll try to finish them by tomorrow cause I'm hoping to send them off before I leave next thurs. Probably going to try & start packing my luggage for London tomorrow & I have a thousand and one things to pack. I know the holiday is going to be awesome & I've got it all planned out- what day to stay with who etc etc. Next I need to call my aunt & aunty pam to let them both know. I still need to get some last minute gifts for nicola, kerrry & my cousin's girlfriend (though i've not met her). I think this break will serve me well & give me some space and time to think and really decide what i want from 2007. Of course, being able to meet my sister (!!!) & hang out with shar will make it all the more enjoyable.

if i'm not in love.

2006-11-23T00:42:00.000-12:00

Mum left this morning for Bangkok so the house is pretty empty. Went to parkway yesterday & Mum went to Reds to pass them some things & I decided to trim my hair. There's not much difference just that it's slightly shorter but it's way thinner (: Today I'm having a I-hate-my-hair day :( Ee Lun wasn't free so Alan cut it & even he says that my hair is very bushy and hard to tame & I don't have a choice but to tie my hair most of the time. Ahhhh that spells disaster. Hopefully in London it'll be better cause the weather there is slightly drier but I'm still gonna bring my straightening iron anyway.

Okay Laguna Beach in 20 minutes then there's training tomorrow which I'm slightly nervous about cause although I played with Viv last week, it's different from training. I am positive that I have no stamina so I'm praying that training won't be too tough tomorrow :/ Then Viv's gonna come over so we can sun-bathe.

And if my heart is lying then
What should I believe in

of lazy days

2006-11-21T16:40:00.000-12:00

Yesterday was fun. I was only meant to get an experss mani but ended up succumbing to an express pedi as well. Gourie is seriously crazy. Hahahaha we ended up getting off at the wrong bus stop but the driver was really nice & gave us a free ride. Then we went to town & Gourie tried to look for her hat (lol) but she didn't get it in the end.

Today, I'm just going to lie in bed & finish reading Night and spend some time alone thinking about things. If I have extra time then I'll read Teen Vogue & Seventeen which I finally got yesterday.

My camera is annoying me. I still can't upload all the photos for some reason :/ I need to start making a list of things I have to bring to London today so I can start planning. But for now, before leaving next thursday (omg just 8 days more), I need to:

1) Get polaroid film
2) Get my camera checked
3) Get my eyebrows done
4) Meet up with shar to get our caps (:
5) Catch up with rach
6) Change money into pounds.

step up

2006-11-20T16:04:00.000-12:00

So the past few days have been pretty much eventful (: I've had an awesome amount of fun & I just know the holidays are going to get better... I'm very hyped about London & I finally got my winter coat & I managed to get a few cute jumpers (though not as stylish as shar hahaha).

Saturday
Tennis with Viv in the morning though we ended up talking for half an hour instead of playing. Headed to parkway for brunch which made me really full then we walked around and I had to get some things for Su for her bangkok trip. I got Night & another book from MPH. I've started on Night and it is amazing. Managed to get a handbag & Vivien, I am so misunderstood. Hahaha seriously. I still have yet to get a bag for London but will probably try to get the CK one by this week. Came back & then we played tennis again from 1 to 2. After that we came up and talked and did the usual stuff. Spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning up my room & clearing out all my books but I've yet to sort them out into bags. Dinner at night to celebrate Su's 13th birthday with the family & we had seafood but I wasn't hungry so I didn't exactly eat. Went to my grandma's after that before going to Video ezy to rent a few movies. Omg so I finally rented Hotel Rwanda & it is by far the most amazing movie. Seriously. I highly recommend it to EVERYONE but no one seems to believe me. Viv and Stef both didn't want to watch it :( But trust me, it's such a sad movie but it is amazing & it makes you think about how people can be so vicious & follow a crazy man & start killing one another.

Sunday
Su left for her atf thingy in bangkok so the house is really quiet now cause there's only me and jing. Church in the morning then lunch at Paragon with my aunt & sis. After that, they went grocery shopping so I walked around in search of my winter coat. Mum came down to meet us & I managed to get my coat from zara. I really like it (: I also managed to get this striking pink sweater from benetton. Came home in the evening then played tennis with viv dominic and aaron. After that we just sat by the pool and talked then viv decided to spend the night so she went back to get her things. We watched Friends till like 12 then we just talked & lay in bed and vivien was so afraid the upper bunk would break. Hahaha

Monday
Sent Viv home then Mum & I went for our massages at Orchard Hotel which was really good (: I've been aching for a long time so it was really enjoyable. After that, I left to meet Stef at Cathay. Omg that girl was wearing school shoes which was hilariously cute. Hahaha okay I shan't be mean but she looked very cute. Then we got tickets for Step up & waited for Patrick then we went for a quick bite. Step up was good (: It was kinda sad though that the young guy died but apart from that it was enjoyable. Then we couldn't decide where to go so we went to Plaza Singapura & there really wasn't much to do so we just walked around & kept going up. We wanted to watch another movie but there weren't any good timings. Then Patrick left so Stef and I roamed around & we ended up taking pictures in the photo booth which was really cool. Then Stef was trying to look for a dress for some wedding but there weren't any appropriate ones.

Then we received a message from Sarah asking if we wanted to catch a movie one of these days so we decided to watch another movie that night. But we decided to take a taxi back to my place first to bathe & stuff. Then Sarah came over & Stef went home to get her things. Ended up going back to Plaza Singapura to watch Just Friends so we kinda wasted the money on the cab fare. But anyway, the movie was okay. Haha not much of a plot but it was pretty hilarious. Especially her forgiveness song. The movie ended around 11 plus so we took a train back then Stef spent the night and as usual, she ended up staying up till really late so I went to sleep first.

We had to go to school this morning for PAE & now I'm getting ready to meet Gourie in Holland Village to get our nails done. Yay (: Then she needs to get her things for prom so I'm going to keep her company. Omg Rach & Lisze get back today. Rachel if you see this, I miss you (x 100000). You better call me tomorrow morning cause I have a gazillion things to tell you & like I miss having someone to call and annoy. Lol okay, I better leave now.

Anyway, I am getting bored of this blogskin but I can't seem to find any other nice simple ones so if anyone knows of any, let me know please (:

xoxo

angels brought me here

2006-11-17T03:43:00.000-12:00

As I sit here typing away, it feels as if this year just went by within a snap. Os have finally come and gone & I am more than glad. Just a few weeks ago we were counting down "20 more days" & it's finally here. In some way, I'm pretty proud of myself for having achieved some goals in life this year. I think that I've worked pretty hard based on my standard & I've become slightly more hardworking. Haha seriously, I've never done worked so hard for exams because I've had the whole happygolucky attitude but I suppose when you see everyone working hard, it's impossible to just sit back and relax. Or maybe it's because I've matured this year. For people who know me, they'd probably understand what I'm talking about cause I can really be such a bum at times but I've proved myself wrong. Vivien says that she can't see me working in the future & that if we end up working in the same company, I'll quit my job first. That is not true viv!!!! Sometimes it's not just about proving to other people that you're capable of success but also to yourself.

It seems as if a whole load is off my chest now that I don't have to think about exams for the next few months. I can only hope & pray that everything goes smoothly & to trust in the Lord in everything I do. I think what's more important is that I walked out of the hall after every exam feeling that I gave it my best try. With the exception of physics of course, but then physics & me just don't go well together.

I would have never got through this whole year without the support of my parents. Hearing them constantly tell me that as long as I try my best, they'd be proud of me makes me feel very good about myself. Knowing that my parents aren't the sort who believe that grades define a person definitely makes me feel very privileged. And my family has definitely played a big part- my aunts telling me to just do my best and my sisters being nice to me during the exam period lol.

I know I'm making it seem as if the exams were such a big deal but maybe it's cause I've never taken school this seriously. To cut the long story short, I am just so excited that exams are history! No more panicking about what to study or worrying about the silliest things for quite some time (:

The holidays are going to be a blast. I cannot wait for the 30th to come & I am bubbling with excitement. Oh the shopping & food & museums (: Anyway I met shar today & it was awesome catching up. Mum dropped me near bugis cause she had to send su for training so I was meant to walk to raffles city. But being me, I couldn't figure out how to get that so yes, I ended up taking a cab there. Hahahaha sharlene was screaming at me over the phone to take a train but I figured it would be pretty packed so yes, I succumbed to taking a taxi cause I kept telling myself "exams are over".

So we had dinner at the cute little cafe by the fountain at raffles & we talked and laughed and ate. Shar thinks she's so stylish just cause she has "stylish clothes" for London. Hahaha okay I'm just kidding. And she thinks that I'm a psychic just cause I wear alot of bangles and bracelets on my hands. What a weirdo! Then we walked around, did some shopping & I got the Josh Groban cd. Omg Damien Rice has a new album but I shall get that the next time.

Then we had ice cream & there was this lady wearing this lace skirt. Okay it wasn't really a skirt cause you could see her bum & it was awful! Why would you want to wear something like that?! And everyone was looking at her & this guy was telling his friend but his friend didn't see it in time and then the guy was like "Oh man free show but you missed it" & shar and I were like what?!?!?!? Hahaha then we went to marina square & she found her tights for london and we got a gazillion accessories. No kidding (: Mum came to pick us after su's training.

Decisions. Now I've got about a whole month to kind of think the whole thing through carefully before deciding. I'm pretty confused but I'm going to talk to as many people who I'm close to so that I can make a good & suitable decision.

I'm going off to bed cause I've got to wake up at 8 tomorrow morning for tennis with Viv. Yes 8 is a bit too early but all the other slots are fully booked :/ I am going to be way rusty but I'm definitely excited to play tennis again.

Holidays, here I come.

look after you.

2006-11-16T03:04:00.000-12:00

Awww Ling looks so cute in that picture with her law friends when they went to denmark. Ling I miss you so much!! Jing & Su are driving me mad here. And guess what, I'll be in london in EXACTLY 2 weeks. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing you & meeting your new friends.

Happy birthday Su!! Although we fight over the stupidest things like who gets to control the music in the car/who sits in front & stuff, I am really very proud of you. Though we keep fighting this year, it does make me sad when we can't speak nicely to each other. Okay maybe this is kinda exaggerating it but you know. Hahaha anyway, I know Mum and everyone says it's all part of your "I'm growing up as a teen" thing that you show us attitude but I know you'll outgrow it soon. And deep down inside, you'll always be my little sister (along with jing) & I love you because we can be so candid with each other like we were today in the car with rach "omg yr as flat as a runway" HAHAHA but yeah. Please be a good girl & don't change okay.

Tomorrow's finally the last day. I am too tired to study tonight cause today's papers were somehow very tiring so I'm going to sleep soon & revise for history tomorrow. 3 weeks really did go by extremely fast actually. Lisze, Viv & Rach came over again today in between papers & we were just talking about how it seemed like we just had our ss paper. So I was trying to be helpful & I was telling the 3 of them my studying techniques and they were laughing at me. It was kinda funny though cause maybe my things to sound absurd but hey, they help me!

Okay, Rach & Lisze are probably in the airport now & they're gonna call me soon (: You 2 have fun in shanghai & come back with funny stories to tell me! They're gonna be watching james blake & rach and I kinda think Lisze's gonna boycott the whole match. Lol. Viv, I hope you're feeling better now & I can't wait to finally catch up on Saturday after hearing " Hwee I have so many things to tell you but wait till sat".

Meeting Shar tomorrow night & I can't wait for that (: Finally going to see her after some time & we finally can plan our london trip properly. Then we're gonna squeeze in some time for shopping if we have time after dinner. And I'm going to pass shar her christmas gift since she knows what it is & so she can bring it to london. Hahaha This weekend is going to be a blast cause I've more or less planned things but I'm free next wed & thurs (: Okay, I'm going to sleep now.

xoxo

goodbye lee gek

2006-11-14T02:20:00.000-12:00

Edit:
Okay YAY I MANAGED TO CONTACT MY TUTOR. Turns out she called using her students house phone. Cause I called & a lady answered and she sounded kinda shocked that my tutor got a call at her house. Oops I hope I didn't get her into trouble. Lol but anyway, mwahahaha I told her that I need to study for history. Go me! Tomorrow I shall tell Rach my stories cause she loves them. Hahahaha wipeeeeee!

-

:( :( :( :(

Okay I think my science tutor is out to get me. She came yesterday & today. And I thought today would be my last lesson so I told her she doesn't need to come tomorrow & she agreed. BUT she just called me & she wants to come tomorrow :/ Omg I am so annoyed. Ugh like give me a break (!!!) cause I really need to spend tomorrow on history cause even though it's the last paper, it's very important cause I can't count my sciences in cause I always do bad so I have to bank on my humanities. Oh man, Mum asked me to call her to tell her she can't come but she isn't picking up her phone. AHHHHHH I shouldn't have answered the call but she was using another number. SHE'S SO SLY!!!! OMG if I knew it was her, I wouldn't have answered. I am already sick of doing science :/

you are loved.

2006-11-12T17:19:00.000-12:00

Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Cause someday I might know my heart.

You already waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I can't work out what they mean
I never thought that I'd love someone
That was someone else's dream.

Aahhhh I love that song. Lit paper 2 today & before the paper, Shaofang Vera Stef & I were talking and laughing away (at Stef) which was really funny. Hahaha and Stef, having a youtube playlist isn't that funny okay! I'm innovative that's why :D Okay 4 more days, hang in there!

2006-11-11T23:10:00.000-12:00

Okay so yesterday, Su had a birthday party celebration which was alot of fun. Before that I went out with Mum to get last minute stuff & I got Su a present from Igs Heaven so we got them to wrap it & after we got the groceries and stuff, we totally forgot about the present till we got home. So we went back & then I picked it up and Stef happened to be there so we picked her up.

Came home and used the computer & we webcammed with kerri which was funny and talked and then like everyone came. It was really noisy cause there were roughly below 20 kids in the house so you can imagine the noise. So the Su and her friends all went to play blind mans buff in her room (hahaha). Like 10 plus girls in Su's room screaming and stuff which was funny. Then Stef, Justin, Patrick and I played bridge which I admit, am terrible at. Hahahaha I do not know how to plan or strategise & whatever so I just put down random cards. And I don't think my team ever won. Lol. Then Jiayi and Jiali came & we all had dinner and watched friends at the same time which like Stef said, was noisy cause everyone was laughing away. Hahaha Joey is so funny! Then Jiayi joined us and we played taiti or however it's spelt.

Stef is horrible. Just cause she's good at card games she thinks she can laugh at other people!!! Look at this "Played bridge with Hwee, Jia-sth, Patrick and goodness, Hwee's always clueless! Bfr Daidee, everyone was asking who had the three of diamonds and no one responded so i KNEW it wld be Hwee cos her reaction is mighty slow. Haha see Hwee i know you like the back of my palm! (:" How mean is that?! Instead of teaching and helping me she laughs at me!! Hahaha. And my reaction was mightly slow cause I was arranging my cards okay.

After Os I'm going to master card games. Hahahaha :D Then more people joined in the card games & we played the Name Game. HAHA that was hilarious. Watching people's reactions was really funny cause like it would take a few mins to remember the names. And then we played celebs & I was janet jackson & Stef michael jackson. HA then we played plants & Tessa kept getting called cause everyone remembered her plant. Then they used the computer, talked, lazed around (my best ability!) talked ate took pictures etc etc. Then played bluff & everyone was like wow when I knew Stef was cheating. Stef, I know you like the back of my palm too okay. I know your cheating face very well.

Then we cut Su's cake. Okay it really wasn't a cake cause it was like brownies so there were 13 brownies with 13 candles. And I made the brownies & I'm glad everyone liked them (: Except for Stef who was like "oh it's okay only" but ended up eating 2. HA! Then everyone left by like 11.30 I think & Mum just had to show my pochacco to everyone. Ahhh Stef so what if it looks like a bowling pin? It's better than your dirty pinky.

Stef spent the night & she was so amused by the webcam so she ended up talking to many people while I listened to her ipod. Then I managed to get her off & we talked for like a short while but it was hilarious. Hahaha then I went to bed by 1 & I think Stef stayed up till 3 or 4 cause she was watching one tree hill on my com and chatting away.

Woke up this morning for church but Stef couldn't wake up so we left her behind with Su & my maid cause Su came down with a runny nose. I knew Stef would only wake up after 12 cause we called after church & she was still asleep. Went for lunch & I got my Michael Kors watch finally!!! Yay. Then I got a pair of the puma clydes which I'll probably be taking to London. Okay I didn't study yesterday so now I need to get back to reading Twelfth Night. 5 MORE DAYS!

love.

2006-11-10T16:07:00.000-12:00

I doubt I'm going to get any studying done today which isn't too good but I'll try to study tomorrow after church & lunch cause I usually don't study on Sundays cause my parents think it's not wise to study 7 days a week especially my papa.

So today I'm going to spend my time helping my mummy get ready for su's party cause they definitely need some help in the kitchen. We're going out in a bit to get some last minute stuff from parkway & I need to get this nose spray which helps cause my nose is always very itchy & I tend to sneeze alot. It's really cute cause like you squirt it up your nose. Haha I used to have it in primary school then I stopped using it by now it's getting worse so I'm gonna have to use it.

I ask myself why I'm sacrificing time & I realise it's because...
1. I love my sister although she can be awfully mean to me
2. Family comes first :D

My Dad strongly believes in family spirit which is really cute. Hahaha he's always like " Family's always most important & just remember that if exams don't go your way, you still have your family". These are one of the few reasons why I just love my family :D

And Ling, we all miss you! Please STOP asking me to bring silly things for you to London cause I seriously think it's ridiculous. Hahaha like an eraser?! Omg you psycho. Okay, gotta be going.

you give me something

2006-11-09T23:18:00.000-12:00

Oprah is my idol! Seriously. I love Oprah :D Aaaahhh she's so amazing & Rach calls her Wonderwoman. Lol yesterday's episode was so touching. It was a follow up from the episode where she went to Austwich with Elis Wiesel and I definitely want to get his book because firstly, it's a war novel & I love war novels. Secondly, he won the nobel prize. So yesterday's episode was about high school kids in the states writing how the book is related to modern life & 50 kids got chosen.

Some of the kids were survivors of genocides- 2 girls came from Rwanda & one girl hadn't seen her parents in like 12 years. So Oprah called her on stage with her older sister & told her that her parents wrote them a letter. And as they were about to read it, she told them they didn't have to cause they're parents were in the studio & they just started crying and screaming. I started crying too & I was messaging Rach and she did too. I think anyone would have cried if you'd watched the episode cause it was so amazing and touching. And then she gave the 50 winners a 10000 dollar scholarship to the college of that choice. That was really really nice. It's really very heartwarming to see how much she gives back to the society & how she uses her wealth to help other people.

She is so rich cause she's literally started an empire & she does so many good deeds. I would love to go to Chicago to watch the Oprah show. Hahaha serious, it would definitely be very special. She's my #1 idol (apart from my Mum) and I would love to do something like that in the future. To help other people and make their lives easier which is why I want to adopt a child in the future. I know that some people may think that I only say this cause I'm young & I've not seen the world and blah blah, but I really want to help kids. And when people say that they wouldn't be able to love a child who isn't their flesh & blood, I think that is just plain selfish. It is possible to care for people not of your blood cause my Mum is adopted & my grandma loved her so much.

And would anyone like to donate money to me cause I'm going to help with the Worldvision christmas gifts cause I got the leaflet some days ago & I'm trying to donate $168 to help contribute in building a ghur (tents in mongolia) so that they have somewhere to sleep during the harsh winters which can drop to as low as minus 40. Ending poverty is difficult but it isn't necessarily impossible.

Su's having her birthday party tomorrow & she's gonna have all her friends come over & Stef is coming to keep me company. Haha yay. My favourite song of the moment is You give me something by James Morrison. Aaah I love that song.

Tracks worth listening to:
somewhere else-razorlight
you are loved-james groban
look after yourself-the fray
slow down-the academy
such great heights-the postal service
if you've got the money-jamie t

I just realised you can change the font of the words. Hahaha

psychos.

2006-11-08T14:14:00.000-12:00

Morning (: Today is really sunny & hot so I'm gonna take a shower after this cause I'm still in my pyjamas. Hahahaha I finally found my ipod yesterday! I knew it was somewhere in the house but I couldn't remember where I left it. But my maid found it for me & it was actually in my room.

Mum has been taking Su & Jing shopping like almost every other day cause they always seem to be coming back with more and more shopping bags. Like yesterday Su got tennis clothes & I think they bought the whole nike store & the other day Mum was at Vivo city at the adidas shop & she saw a pair of shorts for Su so she called Su to take a cab down. When I heard that I was totally WHAT!?!?! cause it's really far from our place. Okay not really but still. But anyway, they ended up getting me something too so yay. Seriously, my Mum is the #1 shopper. Haha & they got Ling these shoes that I wanted from nike :( I just keep telling myself, 9 more days till end of exams, 9 more days.

Apparently, my Mum & Ling forget that I am going to London with Shar to enjoy yourselves & have the best vacation with just shopping and sight seeing. I have to bring a gazillion & one things over to London okay. It's so sad :( I think my suitcase will be heavy cause I need to bring coats for Ling as well as shoes & like 10 BOTTLES OF SALINE. But at least I get to use the cute pink benetton suitcase. And my aunt in London wants me to bring a blender?!?!?! Do not ask why cause I have no idea why the blender must come from Singapore. They think I'm going there as a fedex or DHL person :( Plus I have to pack my own clothes and coats to last for 2 weeks and winter clothes are so thick! But my Mum says that if I carry all these things then she'll give me more cash to get clothes. Mwahahaha I suppose that's the price to pay. Sharlene if you would be so kind as to help me carry some of the things, I will love you forever and ever!!

Yesterday I was supposed to have tuition at like 5.30 & before that I was trying to study the great leap forward & Mao etc etc. But I was really sleepy so I took a nap at like 3.30 & I told my maid to wake me up at 4.30. So I eventually woke up around 4.40 & then we heard the intercom ring so I thought it was my Mum. But it turned out to be my science tutor. Aaaaah she came an hour earlier & she didn't even call me!! I'm positive she's out to get me. Hahaha for example, she likes to call me at 12.15am when I'm in the middle of my sleep (!!!) to arrange for tuition the next day. Then after that my sleep is disrupted and I can't go back to bed. So before every exam I make sure I turn off my phone so she can't call me! Mwahaha. And she doesn't have a handphone so it's really hard to contact her all the time. I mean she's a really good tutor but she's just crazy! Like that day she told me that my answer for some chem question was lame. I was like WHAT?! How dare she say my answer is lame. Hahahaha & she likes to call herself stupid whenever she makes a careless calculation. And she has a really antique calculator that is quite cute actually. Hahaha Rachel loves listening to my stories about my science tutor. Lol & I think all science tutors are like that cause poor Lisze, I think her tutor's worse :/

So many people in my condo are renovating their houses today cause I can hear it & it's so loud. And they're fumigating the estate now so it's really smoky. Okie dokie, I need to shower now & finish studying China, watch Oprah from 1-2 ( I LOVE OPRAH) then I've got math tuition in the afternoon.

9 days till end of Os
21 days till London!!

2006-11-06T14:59:00.000-12:00

Okay yesterday we had Emath paper 1 & SS papers. Both were like average but SS was pretty challenging. Well it's over & I'm definitely glad that we've only got 10 more days to go (: Wipee.

After the emath paper, Rach Lisze & Viv came over to revise and have lunch & it was fun (: Didn't get much studying done cause either of us would start talking or laughing. Okay, I admit I did the talking most of the time. Hahaha & cause when I study SS or history, I have to chant the words out. So it was so weird cause it was totally quiet. Then I asked them & turns out Lisze & Rach chant too! So the 3 of us were chanting away while Viv was looking at us. Lol & then I brought out this bag of chips & all of them were amazed by the size. It really isn't that big & doesn't last that long when you have 2 sisters who gobbles them up quickly. But anyway, Rachel was in love with the chips. Lol okay okay kidding, then we ended up talking about Sentosa & I hope Lisze really comes (: So rachel, I was bullying you yesterday & I'm sorry for being a bad girl. Haha but I'm sure you don't mind cause we always tease each other :D

Okay there's something that really bugs me. Like after exams, everyone blogs about how we should burn our books. That to me, is just completely & totally weird and annoying. Like how everyone goes on about yay ss is over let's throw our books & burn the books and blah blah. That irks me SOOOO much seriously (Rach agrees too) because really, do you think it's very ideal and cool to start a fire with your books in it? Like hello, use your brains please. Of course after the exams you can give away your books or throw them but BURN your books? Hahahahahaha. And like when people go on & on about how easy a paper is. That is just... Like even if you think the paper was easy you shouldn't go round boasting "ah I'm so gonna get an a1" cause it always pays to be humble. Then these people just totally forget about others who feet bad. Where is the love I ask you?!?!

Church on Sunday was very good. The 2 missionaries from Cambodia came back to give us updates on mission work going on & stuff. Then after church, we went for the usual lunch and stuff with the family & then came back. Matt's birthday party was that night but I had to forgo it cause I needed to revise for emath & ss. Oh well, I can always spend time with him after Os anyway. But he is so adorable. I was playing with him on Friday & he can call me now. He screams loudly though, like hweeeeee! And today is his birthday & Mum said Darren got him a drum set. Hahaha

After SS yesterday I felt so relaxed cause somehow SS always makes me nervous and stuff. So we went to my Godma's house & then at night, I went to get my nails done with Mum. Yay (: Then I went to Life bookshop & they still don't have a new copy of Shawn Mcdonald's CD :( That's sad cause I've been waiting for it forever. So I ended up getting Brian Litrell's instead. Then we went to check out planet fitness & I am so hyped about joining all the classes and hot yoga sounds good. But the lady says I can't join kickboxing and body combat yet cause of my back. Which means I have to religiously do my physio exercise & go for physiotherapy regularly.
Okay, so tomorrow we have English & on Friday there's emath paper 2. Good luck to everyone (:

21 more days (: I cannot wait for the 30th.

& i miss you

2006-11-02T20:43:00.000-12:00

Good times, good times

Okay today I walked straight into my coffee table in the living room which was so stupid. I was just walking and then I somehow ended up knocking my thigh against it & it's red now and there's like a scratch and luckily it didn't bleed. It hurts pretty bad & I've already put some cream stuff but it hurts >:(

You called me after midnight
must have been three years since we last spoke
I slowly tried to bring back the image of your face
from the memories so old
I tried so hard to follow
but didn't catch the half of what had gone wrong
said 'I don't know what I can save you from'

of decisions & uncertainties.

2006-11-01T21:25:00.000-12:00

15 days till end of Os
28 days till London (:

1 paper down & a few more to go. This is really the last lap of the race omg that's so cliched but it's true. After 4 years in secondary school, I guess this is what it all comes down to. But nevertheless, exams aren't everything.

I wonder what life will be like next year. I wonder how things will be & what college I end up in. I wonder if I'll be enjoying myself or if I'll look back with any regrets. I wonder if things will be the same & whether people will change. All this uncertainty just makes me think about my future. And after the Os, I have some big decisions to make. But how do you even make a decision when you're not even sure yourself? Either way, I'll probably have some minor regrets, but life's like that. You lose some, you win some. Like I'm apprehensive about the whole thing & yet I know I'll have to choose something in the end. Right now, I just pray for guidance from the Lord & that the Os will go smoothly. Then, it'll be time to tackle the next problem.

Okay, I conclude that I always have such retarded conversations with Rachel. But what would I do without her? From weird conversations like "omg you are too old hwee" to weird messages we send to each other like "eh watch mtv now!" or calling each other stupid names like freakazoid (hahaha) and hello kitty and bobdog. Hahahaha and the kind of things we talk about are just insane. But out of all, my favourite's still our conversation about rolling on the floor & Rachel, mark my words, I will achieve my goal soon so just you wait ;)

And Vivien Sng, Sharlene Wong, Celene Eddie Amin & Sarah Chua, all of you are greatly missed by me. Sharlene I don't care if you get a job (tell me how the AX interview goes) but we have to get our london stuff together (:

2006-10-31T19:31:00.000-12:00

ANTM on Monday was hilarious. Hahaha Jade and her weird funny words. Su & I were laughing so hard cause like everytime she made up a word, the word would like be typed out on the screen. " I want to dwelfth into..." Hahaha. Then when she kept going " this is not america's next top best friend", Su kept giggling. We had chemistry practical yesterday so our practicals are finally over. I made this timetable with all the exams & I love striking them out after the exam cause it makes me feel so good.

Laguna beach last night was entertaining, as usual. Cami & Kyndra are like SO evil. Kyndra's voice is so annoying like the moment she speaks you just feel like grabbing her hair or something. Ahhh I can't wait for next week's episode cause Kelan will like finally be in it. I am trying very very hard not to sucuumb to the temptation of watching it online. Oh yes, last night we were showing my Mum all the videos on youtube & she was highly amazed which was really cute. Then we ended up watching Little Britain and we kept replaying the vicky episode. "V to the P to the Icky to the Ollard" HAHAHA hilarious. Okie dokie, I have to go and give Rachel a call now cause I need her help with amath. She's so nice to me (she didn't pay me to say that haha). Lit paper 1 tomorrow so good luck everybody :D

fast & furious.

2006-10-27T00:32:00.000-12:00

Today hasn't been so good cause I haven't been able to do much studying & instead, I spent an hour on the phone with Rachel but that was alot of fun. Hahaha we have the stupidest conversations ever & she made me laugh so hard cause of her Mum's wayang thing & then we were singing stupid songs and talking about weird things. Omg I think all my friends are hilarious. Then Ling called again & Dad's in London right now and they're going out for lunch together. And I don't feel quite well & I think I'm coming down with a fever cause my maid's fallen ill so I pray I don't get the bug because that would be the most awful thing that could happen right now.

But anyway, when I was feeling really guilty about not studying and feeling all stressed with the exams coming, I saw something that made me feel ALOT better. It's actually a gift Ling got for her baptism, one of those card things with scripture readings & this one really is very impactful. So for everyone who's feeling as lousy as me right now...

" The next time you find yourself depressed or worried about some big problem, remember the power of God, remember His great miracle of bringing you into being, and you will know that He is more than able to care for you "

Now, didn't that help (: With God's strength, anything is possible. Go go go Hwee (:

2006-10-26T03:22:00.000-12:00

Today started off well & I thought it would be a good day cause my morning was good. Yay! Then Ling called at 9am just to wish me all the best for my very first paper for the Os. How sweet is that? Everyone should be jealous of me for having a loving sister like her (: Hahaha when she called & my maid answered the phone I was surprised. Cause it was 2am london time & for my sister to wake up at 2 AM IN THE MORNING just to wish me luck is a big deal, cause the whole "I sleep by 10.30pm every night" runs in our family. I felt so touched & happy and Ling I love you & miss you. I need someone to help me fight against Su & Jing here. I cannot wait to see you in December (:

So after that, Mum sent me in for Physics practical which didn't go too well but okay, no point brooding over it. Came back & had math tuition then I lazed around, took pictures for Hannah & Jing cause they want to make a scrapbook to give to each other so they won't forget each other when Hannah leaves next year which is really cute. Then I watched some tv & then all of us went to Aunty Rokiah's house and we talked and talked and laughed. Then Sarah, Maria, Su & I started talking about Laguna Beach and haha we were laughing so hard & I can't believe Tessa goes with Cameron. Yuck!

Okay, so after wasting one day, I have to get back to studying tomorrow or I'll feel very terribly guilty. And Sharlene, hahahaha wear leggings and shorts & I will laugh at you. Okay just kidding but I seriously thought you meant wear them for shopping and not at home.

2006-10-25T01:05:00.000-12:00

Just came back from parkway cause I went to get some pens & do a little shopping and Viv happened to be there so I went to meet her with Mum & Su and talked about bangkok though we're not sure if we're going. Then we had dinner there which was good & on the way back we managed to catch Uncle John before he left.

It's pretty sad that he's leaving for Finland already but he's coming back in December for christmas which is good. The car was packed cause all of them were sending him off- matt, ben, rachael, hannah, aunty judy (all the dalgleishes) and then mark and ryan. He says the airport will be even more packed since the others are meeting them there. Haha. All of us will definitely miss him and his jokes and ending every sentence with hey. And I still think that he looks like Nigel Barker (though Uncle John's full english and doesn't have sri lankan blood). He looked like he was gonna tear when we said goodbye.

It's going to be even worse next year when the rest of them migrate to Finland :( Poor Jing, I think she'll cry alot because it's definitely 1 of the worst things having to see your best friend go :( It's very funny how all my sisters & I have had to see our best friends leave :( Like for Ling and me it was Cassie & Kara (States) , for Su it was Vicky (Aus) & for Jing it'll be Hannah (Helsinki). And I will miss Matt so so so so much. But luckily Uncle John's only posted there for 3 years so they might come back or they might move back to UK.

Okay physics practical tomorrow so all the best to everyone! :D

countdown.

2006-10-23T17:26:00.000-12:00

Today, I went to the gym.
Yesterday, I also went to the gym.

Okay I can imagine all of you who know me well to be laughing now. Seriously. I talked to Vera on MSN & she was like "am I reading correctly?" Hahaha but I am trying to make an effort to get fitter lol. After exams I am going to try to go to the gym everyday & run (not with rachel though). I was messaging Rachel yesterday when I was on the bicycle & I was laughing so hard cause her messages were so omg retarded like kumquat ______ & the "I have a whale", mr potato & korean fatty??? HAHAHA. And there were 2 other people so I think they kinda thought I lost it but I had to stop messaging her after a while cause I seriously was having a laughing fit. Okay so maybe I'm weird, but everyone has their weird moments too cause I know Vivien always reads her messages and smiles or laughs & so does Stef. Haha at least I know I'm not alone ;)

Okay yay I've just confirmed our Sentosa booking in Dec with the tennis girls & I cannot wait to spend time with the 3 of them but if only Lisze would come :( I find it very embarassing when people ask my email address & I'm like hl_tennis. Hahaha I shall change my email account soon if not imagine in 10 years time when I'm 26 & my boss or colleagues ask me & I'm like hl_tennis. Hahahahaha!! Rachel, we plan to drop you off at underwater world in the morning & pick you up at night since you want to swim with the animals. Hahaha this holiday is going to be very very exciting.

23 days till Os are over.
37 days till London :D

2006-10-21T17:25:00.000-12:00

Okay so today after church, I went for lunch at scotts with my aunt & Jing and my maid & guess who I saw??? Haha omg I saw Jade from ANTM. No kidding. Well at least I think it's her & my maid thinks so too cause she watched like one episode. She was with some other super tall blonde girl and a guy & she is sooooo much skinnier in real life. Haha she's really dark & I was trying not to like make it obvious that we were looking at her (haha) and she was like wearing sunglasses when she was eating. Lol so I'm pretty convinced it's her & she's very very tall.

Okay I think I'm going to give prom night a miss because I haven't found my dress, shoes, bag etc etc plus I'm just very lazy. But Mum's taking me shopping tomorrow & unless I find a really nice dress, I will spend prom night doing other things. Hahaha

uncertainty & ambitions.

2006-10-19T19:39:00.000-12:00

I really am very excited for Nov 17 to come quickly because after that I have so many things to do. I need to get a coat for London, get presents for friends in London, shop till I drop (literally), watch discovery travel & living 24/7, have a laguna beach marathon with dearest shar & plan our trip, go out with so many people. Ahhhh and I am looking forward to sentosa with the very crazy tennis girls :D I don't care, I'm sleeping on the bed.
At the same time, I was just thinking about my future & I really don't know what life is going to be like in a year's time. Definitely alot of uncertainty in my future because ......... Okay I shall not share with you guys my problems cause I am a very kind person ;) But really, when the opportunity comes you sometimes just wonder if it'll work out.

Vivien Sng, stop thinking you are Heidi & it was very fun talking to you yesterday. Don't be depressed because you got a mocha frap (and i didn't!!!) so study hard & talk to you soon. P.S buy me a mocha frap AND a flower soon please :D Hahaha & I know you are reading this even though you never tag my board!

Rachel Soh please continue to be nice & help me out whenever I call you. Haha you are the #1 most patient person & thank you so much for helping me with amath & chem and making me feel stupid sometimes. Hahahaha & remember to go for daily walks with your dog because it will do you good (hehehehehehehe)

Okay, time to hit the books again. And Ling, if you're reading this I'm sending you a letter by snail mail (:

2006-10-17T01:23:00.000-12:00

The haze has come back & it's irritating cause I somehow feel that the haze brings about alot of heat & so I have to turn on the air con when I'm studying which isn't good cause it's very drying. Haha & I can't even see the sea or the ships from my house now.

This will probably be one of the last posts till the o levels are done with reason being that everytime I come online, I end up using the computer for like an hour or so. Ling sent us mail today & it was funny. Haha like 1 whole page was basically the food she misses in Singapore and blah blah. I'm talking to her on MSN now & she's going to copenhagen at the end of this month cause they have reading week. Why don't we have reading week in secondary schools??? Oh & I just had tuition and my very insane science tutor asked if I want extra lessons since the os are coming. So I was like yeah sure & then I asked her what time. And she was like 9 on saturday. And I was like what? 9 at night? Okay no I can't have. Haha seriously, who has tuition that late. Definitely not me! It's crazy to have tuition that late & I think I'd probably be half asleep if I did have.

VJC open house was pretty good & after that I went for lunch with Viv and Vanessa at Siglap and when the bill came, it was pretty embarrassing cause we didn't have enough cash & we thought we could pay using the ATM. So Viv and Vanessa had to walk over to Siglap centre to withdraw cash & left me there all alone. Hahaha it was funny though.

Did the usual on Sunday- church & lunch. Aunty Helen came to church and it was really good to see her okay. She's more or less recovered but she's got a slight scar on her head. The guy who knocked her down got caught so justice is done! And what's so awful is that when she got knocked down by the motorcyclist, some people came to her help & like 1 person took her ATM card. Now how awful is that? It just shows the ugly side of people seriously. But otherwise, she's well and much better so thank God. Then we went to taka for lunch & Mum got me the Herman Miller chair :D

Walked around & got some clothes from ralph lauren and tommy hilfiger. Went out at night again with Mum & Jing to catch World Trade Center & it was SO good. I cried alot but it was such a good and touching movie. Okay LAGUNA BEACH SEASON 3 STARTING NOW. I LOVE KALEN. HAHA

xoxo

school life.

2006-10-13T01:49:00.000-12:00

Today marks the official end of school in TKGS & the past 4 years have been rather good and interesting. I'm not the total I love my school kind of person but life in school has definitely been challenging and enriching. The best thing, however, is that I've made so many good friends & have gotten to know really awesome people over the past 4 years. Okay, I'm not going to go into a whole grandma story (as what i always do) so I shall just cut the chase.

Thank you to all my friends who've put up with my nonsense & complaints over the years. I know it can be very annoying and tiring listening to my whining and everything about the psycho etc. Hahaha. And for never failing to remind me that I am a bum (haha), just because I love sitting down instead of standing up.

Vera oh my gosh I am going to miss you for these 2 weeks! I've really enjoyed all the stupid times we've had gossiping, reading magazines, laughing at jokes, talking about rach's messy hair, going on about laguna beach & most importantly little britain. Hahaha! Always getting the same marks for our humans and lit & remember what we said about the os! You have definitely made school life so much more bearable & work hard for the os and remember our pact for next year :D And do you realise we dislike the same teachers? Lastly, I loooooooooooooove cake! lol.

Okay for everyone else in the recess gang (haha vera's idea), it's not that I don't love you guys! But I highly doubt you'll read this so I'll lump everything together. Okay once again, Hwee proves to be lazy. So Tiff, Xiao Xian, Gee, Chengqi, Sooboon & Joanne ; you guys have made school and classes and awful lot of fun. I'll definitely miss chengqi's favourite phrase bullshit & Gee's contstant singing & her tong-tong-tong song. Just a month more till freedom so all the best.

For all the tennis girls: Vivien, Rach, Lisze, Shaofang & Gourie. Okay we've been together for 4 years & competitions wouldn't have been the same without you. I love each and everyone of you. From being so weird in sec 1, we've all matured but I can't say the same about rach. Hahaha! Tennis camps, tennis dinners & everything :D We have to keep in contact next year

Okay I better be off to do some amath cause I've spent the day filing physics worksheets and Miss Tee gave us like 10 test papers? Omg. Hahaha. There's the VJ open house tomorrow and that's about it.

All the love,
Hwee
xoxo

take my hand.

2006-10-10T19:10:00.000-12:00

Take my hand to the promise land

And on You I want to stand

Cause I cannot do it on my own

You're what I need and I need to be

Right by Your side cause I cannot hide

Lord, I know that I need You

No where seems to carry Shawn Mcdonald's album except for Life bookshop but they don't have a new copy. I really want his album cause his songs are so powerful. Okay, my eye is slightly better today & I hope it doesn't get worse cause the haze is still bad but am probably going to school tomorrow.

xoxo

2006-10-08T21:03:00.000-12:00

On Sunday (8th october) was Rachel's birthday so I hope she had the best 16th birthday. Rachel, I am so glad I've gotten to know you for the past 4 years & it's been an awful lot of fun hanging out with you & watching movies at your place & going down to buy green tea ice cream & pigging out on calbee chips! Hahaha. Although sometimes you're such an annoying brat, you know I still love you & you're my #1 favourite friend!! I can't imagine what it'd be like if I never got to know you and I am so thankful that we are very close and that I can message you the weirdest things & you're still my friend. Hahaha though you didn't have to tell everyone about my unequal hands (!!)

Without you, I'd have never been so crazy & I wouldn't have had such enjoyable moments laughing at the stupidest things. Lol, I never fail to laugh so hard whenever in your company cause one of us always ends up doing something weird or silly & that's what makes the friendship so special. Knowing that you will not judge me makes me feel really good. Omg & thank you for being so patient and answering my calls and explaining to me the simplest chem questions though I know how much you hate it when I ask you periodic table questions. HAHA

Thank you for sharing with me your secrets (lol) & how you managed to dig out of me some things and thank you for being the messy hair friend I have. Life would be very different if you had neat hair because I wouldn't have anyone to laugh at & omg, stop wearing your waxing shirt though!! I'll always remember how you made me wear those weird shirts of yours & kept laughing at me and you even wanted me to wear the ultra man one. Hahaha. And how we laughed so hard at weird subtitles ( okay omg we are very weird i have to admit) but those were really good times! Not forgetting laughing so hard and youtube videos and talking about a certain group of people & getting so agitated over your crumpler bag incident. Hahaha!

Why, there are endless good memories such as the BSB concert, sleepovers with lisze & viv, shopping trips, trainings, movies & jewellery making. HAHAHA okay we are so going to do more things after the os & thank you so much for being such a wonderful friend & don't ever change because you're funny the way you are :D

P.S. this is the 2nd post of the day.

pictures galore.

2006-10-08T20:40:00.000-12:00

My favourite photo board.

Only the cutest ghost in the world. Hahaha

Me with Aunty annie, Mum, aunty cheryl & aunty judy (:

16th surprise party

Su & rachael dalgleish

The night ling left.

Ling & her pink suitcases which I have to admit are cute ;)

Jingy's 9th birthday

My computer finally allows me to load my pictures!! Haha so anyone who wants the very delayed pictures please tell me on msn & i'll send them over.

They date back way ago, from national day, shaofang's birthday, my 16th birthday, ling's farewell etc etc. All my songs from itunes are gone but I suppose I'll load them from my cds soon & I need to get a few songs ( haha rach you should know what i mean). This week is the final week of school before we have study leave. I have a feeling that I'm going to be called back for amath anyway. Okay I don't have a feeling actually. I know it cause Miss Yeo kept going on about how I will have to come back and everything >:(

Okay, church yesterday was pretty good. The little cambodian boy kept trying to high 5 with Su & I but he's so funny and adorable. Anyway, we have a new vicar & yesterday was his 2nd sunday with us. He's from Australia but his accent isn't all that australian and I think he's originally from UK. So Rev Mervyn Moore still comes for service though, just that he goes for the 8am one. Matthew O'meara hasn't preached in quite some time & I hope he does next week cause his sermons are always very impactful & somehow it's always easy to relate to his sermons. Then after church we went for lunch at bakerzin & did a little shopping before coming home.

There isn't really much else that's been happening so goodbye!
xoxo.

2006-10-04T23:53:00.000-12:00

So I haven't updated in ages because the computer was down & it's finally fixed but everything's gone. Pictures, skype, itunes, picasa etc but luckily I have all the pictures on my computer. So ever since the last time I updated, nothing much has pretty happened except that we've got back all our prelim papers except for amath, which we should be getting back tomorrow.

So I think I did okay for some papers & I'm quite relieved but there's room for improvement for some subjects like..... Hahaha Vera should totally get what I'm referring to ;) And then a particular teacher very obviously doesn't think much of me but I have confidence in myself and I believe I'm going to work my hardest for that subject & when I get back our o level results, I'm going to shove it in her face no thanks to her.

Okay just 1 and a half months to Os and then we graduate from secondary school and then I'm off to London which I absolutely can't wait & that really keeps me going everyday. I need to get so many things before that though, jackets clothes bags etc etc. Ling if you're reading this, I got your email & I hope you're having fun! We'll skype with you soon once we download it again.

2 bad things happened this week & when things like these happen, you realise how fragile life is. But luckily, things are starting to look up so we're all praying everything turns out fine. Okay, I've really got nothing much to say so till then.

xoxo

Prelims are history & I'm sure everybody's very glad. So I just hope I do well but there's nothing I can do but wait for the results. At least I think I put in my best this time though I definitely could have studied a little harder.

So of all times, my computer had to conk out on Monday (am currently at my aunt's) so my godbrother's coming to fix it tomorrow. Went out with Rachel yesterday and that girl is terrible. She enjoys watching me spend money & she kept asking me to buy things. What an evil person! But thankfully she didn't get anything except for food (haha pig) if not she'd take 50 WHOLE mins to choose, just like what she did previously. But nonetheless, you know you're still my favourite friend rach (:

Mum gets back in 5 days & I miss Jing cause the house is quiet without her noise and laughter. She said they went to chessington that day & she rode on my fav ride. Haha. So I'm trying to recall whatever's happened. Oh yes, Shar & I have our tickets to London :D Yay. We'll be spending 2 whole weeks there which should be just nice for shopping, sight seeing and going to visit friends and museumes. Ahh can't wait for the shopping.

Okay so I just discovered Toaster Strudel last Sunday cause I remember Kara telling me about how good it is. So I saw it at Marketplace and bought it. And it was delicious. I cannot believe I have survived 16 years without eating it. No kidding! Go try it right now because it is SO yummy & get the s'mores flavoured ones. Went out with my aunt and grandma for lunch & then we went to siglap and I got 3 mags (:

Going for dinner tonight with Su and Shar & probably going to get some shopping done before that. I wonder if I should get the Michael Kors watch yet or wait for results to be out. Okay, gotta reply Ling's email now & will try to load pics once my com is fixed.

Love always.

Just received a message from Mum & they arrived safely in London. But they're flight was delayed by an hour and a half. It's really annoying when flights are delayed. So like alot of people turned up yesterday to send Ling off & it was pretty packed. Haha everyone kept looking at the luggage cause they had 2 shocking pink suitcases that were massive and a huge purple suitcase plus 3 other black ones. So Mum's going to bring back the pink one for me to use & I think it's really cute.

So they're flight was around 11pm & they only went in at 10 plus. Ling was so busy cause she had so many different groups of friends there so she had to move around cause there were her VJ classmates, chorale friends, VJ choir friends, DHS friends etc. So we walked to the departure area & she hugged all her friends first and started crying. So I was feeling emotional and started crying too. Then she hugged the family & when she hugged me I just bawled out :/ Kinda expected and everyone was telling me that she'd be back in 3 months. Haha yes very true, but it's just going to be different. So I told her "please keep your room tidy" and then we started laughing. Haha. And the thing is half the people who sent her off were guys & guys don't cry over such things so I was like the only one crying. And Su thought it was very funny & was laughing at me :( Then Mum was like "Let's go in Ling" and they totally forgot about poor little Jing!!! So Jing was like "MUM WAIT FOR ME!" and everyone just started laughing. Hahaha. Oh well, I'm definitely going to miss them.

Went to church today & we got the st. georges mugs :D Went for lunch at tanglin mall after that and walked around & did some grocery shopping. I love market place cause they have so many waitrose products. Haha probably my favourite supermart in singapore.

Okay, does anyone know where to buy SIMS 2 cause I need to get that for Jing's birthday present. And I don't want the addition pack or whatever you call it. I want the actual SIMS 2 that's around $60 something. Please tell me cause all the shops I've been to only carries the add on one & I'll love you forever (:

2006-09-15T01:03:00.000-12:00

A week of exams have passed, and that's a relatively good thing. One more week to go & next week we've got the practicals and multiple choice questions. I hope I'll be able to last out & have the strength to go on. Exams are very draining actually.

The house is so quiet now that I can actually hear the clock ticking & that's kinda scary. Haha the weather's perfect now cause it just rained so it's pretty cold & everyone's gone out. Mum went with Ling to get her contacts cause she spoilt them or something. Yes, what a thing to happen before they leave tomorrow! And Dad's taken Jing out to my grandma's & Su's at training.

So Ling leaves tomorrow for London with Mum & Jing. She'll come back in December with me for christmas break then go back & will probably be back in 3 years time after her law degree's over. Unless she practices there, which I'm not sure. I am going to miss her SO much, more than anyone will ever know, unless you happen to have a sister who's studying overseas (vivien!). So Ling, if you're reading, here it goes...

Have a wonderful time there & we're all going to miss you tons. I know I'm going to cry so much tomorrow cause it's just a natural thing so no laughing hey. I am so proud to have you as my older sister & in my eyes, you're the best best oldest sister anyone can ever have. I'm so proud of your achievements & your talents and to me, you're probably one of the smartest people in my life. Eh top history student in VJ eh ;) Am definitely going to miss your scoldings & how you laugh at me for not getting jokes! It's going to be weird not having someone to talk to every night before I sleep & no one's going to scold me when I start asking stupid questions (with the exception of rachel). I won't have anyone to call midget & no one will get our " by ko-mo" joke. HAHA. I won't be able to roll my eyes whenever you go on about wanting a flik-flak. Lol ;)

It's gonna be weird not having you around to chase us every Sunday morning to rush to church so you can practice your singing in the choir first. No ones going to insist on eating at Angus every Sunday & moan and groan whenever we want to eat Japanese. I won't get to scream at you to tell you to switch off your Barbara Streisand & Lisa Ono CDs. No one's going to start jumping around, forcing me to switch of my Kings of Convenience/ Jack Johnson CDs. And who's going to fend for me when other people bully me? Who's going to teach me how to retaliate & learn to be strong when others are sacarstic (thought I still haven't mastered this skill yet)? Haha. No one will try to make us play monopoly & then rob the bank or get so excited as you!

All in all, I am just going to miss you!! So enjoy yourself, but not too much! Cause you've got to wait for me to come over in Nov & you'll take shar & I around and go shopping :D Take care of yourself & I'll see you in 2 and a half months time okay (: We'll skype every week & I'll harass you with emails. Hahaha. Like what you always say, "you love me hwee". And yes, you know I love you (:

So whoever wants to send Ling, my Mum & Jing off tomorrow, here are the details.
Terminal 2 10.55pm
Quantas/British airways

Well hello everybody :D We're in the midst of our prelims and here I am, updating on my very un-interesting life. Haha okay but I just had tuition so I'm taking a break now and rewarding myself and yeah all that stuff. 3 more papers left this week then I HOPE next week will be easier cause it's more practical and mcq stuff. Ahh exams have been...... Okay that's for me to know. But they're over so I can't control anything. Tomorrow's literature paper 1 and amath paper 2 and I need to get cracking on lit asap so I'll do it right after this.

Well well well. All I remember from the last time I updated was that church on sunday was AWESOME. Best sermon so far I think & the topic was really thought-provoking. It was soo good & we had a guest speaker from the Theological College and the topic was on "Peace be with you" & that made me realise alot of things (: Then on Sunday night, Aunty Judy threw a barbecue party at their house for Ling's farewell and yeah there was alot of food and her pavlova was wow.

Ever since then, nothing's been happening except exams and exams. This is what my schedule is like everyday. Wake up, go to school, sit for exams, talk during breaks, come back, study for the next day's paper, spend 1 hour panicking over how much I haven't covered (hahaha), get stressed out, go to bed to solve all problems. I can't wait for NEXT FRIDAY. We're going to do our nails YAY and I need retail therapy.

Sad thing is Ling's leaving on Saturday & Mum and Jing will be gone for 10 days having fun in London without me. Boo to that. Okay, I promise I'll update again on Friday with a special thing for Ling my lovely sister & all her flight details so whoever wants to can send her off & see me bawl my eyes out. Haha just kidding. Stef you are coming, aren't you ;) Now, I'll leave you with some tracks worth listening to :D

When I get home you're so dead-Mayday parade
Take my hand-Shawn Mcdonald (this is so addictive!)
Sitting by a rehab bar- a.f.i
Always love-Nada surf
The coldest heart-The classic crime
The world is on fire-Sarah Mchlachan
You're not alone-Shayne ward

Edit: Omg okay so we just came back from dinner and we had seafood which was amazing but we ate so much (as usual) and now i feel so full. So it was really fun as well cause my Mum's friends or rather, Papen's brother and wife, were talking about how we used to be last time and how I used to hide whenever I saw Pisa's dad in the garden. Oh boy those were good times in London. I miss them so much and the parks and I wish they could happen again. How Mum used to take us out of school early and how we would spend 2 months in London every year. Good times, good times. Can't wait for the year end.

Okay so hello everybody (: Today's already tuesday. Yesterday was fun cause we went for lunch with Aunty Fernland and Pepper and Sandy and we had SOOOO much food to eat. It was some dim sum place with these trolley carts and it was so good that we kept on eating and eating. Plus the waitresses didn't even ask whether we wanted the items and just continued piling them up. After a while we just stared at the food cause we were too full.

Sunday was good and I went to church and did the usual stuff. Had lunch after that at nydc and I kinda felt sick after that cause I think the food there is really rich and like full of monosodium :/ Then we went to borders and got a few things from there & I got an ultra cool travel journal for London. Haha it smells really good. Lol then came back and did some work and stuff.

We've got some friends over from London so I think Mum's taking them out to dinner. People keep visiting us this year and it just isn't fair cause I can't go out and have fun with them! Aaah. So yesterday Mum talked to Aunty Pam over skype and Nicola might be coming over to Singapore to take up some course at toni & guy to persue her career and stuff & she wants to be a hair stylist for runway models which is cool. And if she comes she'll probably stay with us so she won't need to rent a place & she can sleep on Ling's bed while Ling's in London. Haha

So Ling still hasn't finished her packing for London & my her suitcases are already full. Aunty Pam's going to be bringing them to Thorde park or Lego Land when they arrive and that is so unfair cause I want to go there and it'll be closed in winter :( No kidding, thorde park. Okay I've gotta go now so have a good holiday everybody :D

2006-09-01T03:43:00.000-12:00

It's close to my bedtime & somehow, listening to the beegees makes me pretty bushed so I'll make this a quick one. So nothing much has been happening lately since we're in the midst of the prelims. But life's not all too bad when you think about it. We've only got 2 months and 14 days to go till the end of this so hang in there all other sec 4s! We'll get by eventually & think positive thoughts.

So the September holidays have started and it isn't exactly a holiday for us considering that we've to revise for the prelims and stuff. Okay I mention the word prelims too often & it's become a sub-conscious thing to talk about it. I am a nerd but hey, nerds are cool. I just want to be able to finish studying everything which is going to be pretty tough but DETERMINATION. Haha (: I already know what I want to do after the os. As they always say, I'm going to shop till I drop & without a doubt, go for a pedicure and manicure. As well as go out with my mum & watch a thousand movies & play tennis till I get sunburnt (haha okay maybe not!)

It seems as if the June Holidays just ended & it's hard to imagine that I last saw Kara and gang 10 weeks ago. It doesn't seem that long really. It's scary actually. Haha but luckily with Myspace, AIM and Skype, keeping in touch is possible :D :D Everyone who has skype, tell me & we can talk for free!! Lol. So we just got skype & it's cool and Ling and her friends keep conferencing every night which makes it hard for me to sleep cause I can't help but listen to them speak so loudly. Last night was funny though cause Jiaxun, Ling & some other guy were talking and they were telling jokes so I laid in bed listening to them.

Yesterday was teachers' day & stuff then Rach came over in the afternoon to study and stuff. So we were doing our work in the living room & Su joined us and we were listening to music & I kept annoying them with my song choices. HA that was funny & after that I was laughing for quite some time. So Su & I were singing "Who let the dogs out" to annoy Rachel & they were going on about how they can't stand Joss Stone. Evil girls

Went over to Rach's today & then went out with Cel and Stef at night to the new Cathay to watch Love Wreck which was good :D That place is massive and bright and quite interesting though it's pretty vacant. Seriously it was funny & like a chick flick but it was good because Amanda Bynes is hilarious & Jonathan Benett is SO cute (x1000). Stef & I were squealing away which was pretty funny! Hahaha and then ending was so sweet and she started squealing and so did I so yeah that was kinda hmmm. Hahaha but it's kinda absurd how her slippers remained even after swimming in the sea & how everyone started dancing at the end. Lol but it was good. And I got this picture from Stef's blog and yeah he acted in Mean Girls & Cheaper by the dozen 2 and it took like 5 mins for Stef to register that. HAHA! I suppose it was his role that made him so ahhhh cause he was so sweet in the movie.

So I'm glad that Sharlene can make it for London & hahaha shar no laughing but I already have a sleeping bag for London so I'll sleep on it when we bunk in with Ling in her college dorm. Hahahaha go get one too (:

Thinking about it, August went by REALLY quickly. Before we know it, it'll be a new year & a new start & a new school & hopefully new uniform & new classmates & new friends & I know I'm going to miss everything about this year so much cause this year has been amazing so far. I don't like change :( I've yet to upload a number of pictures cause my com's been pretty wonky so those who want pictures from my 16th birthday, I'm sorry! Will try to load them after prelims though.

Have a good September (:

2006-08-29T21:18:00.000-12:00

Hello (: Okay I'm bored and stuff and I just came online to check my mail but ended up talking to people online as usual. Haha anyway, I just wanted to share this song which is SO fabulous. It is by far, one of my favourite songs. So download it cause it's so good & it will totally make you feel better. It's such a nice and amazing song :D

Just a little while longer I wanna pray
Can't get you off of my soul came to say thank you Lord
Just for loving me

Many times I do forget
Every need you have met
Oh thank you Lord
I know youre showing me

You are there when I am down and out
Youre holding me
Youre love is so amazing
Yeah it saved me

Here I am with all I have I raise my hands to worship you
I wanna say thank you
Oh Thank you
For everything for who you are
You cover me and touch my heart I wanna say thank you

I could of died in my sin but you saved me
Didn't have any hope at all you gave me peace devine
Strength to carry on
Should of been the one with pain but instead you took my place
Amazing Grace is more than just a song

Even though I don't deserve your love for me
You looked beyond the false and you showed me mercy
So here I am with all I have I raise my hands to worship you
I wanna say Thank you

2006-08-27T21:09:00.000-12:00

So I'm still feeling a little sickly & that's weird cause it's been a week so technically, I should be feeling fine and dandy. But no. AHHHHHHH I HATE BEING SICK and I want to recover right now. I was getting so worried yesterday cause I was feeling all giddy & that is an awful feeling. Trust me, feeling giddy is terrible. So I was scared that I wouldn't be able to focus during today's paper (social studies) and I was getting all panicky and stuff. So after a while, I gave up studying and ended up watching Oprah. Hahaha Oprah is my idol & she is so amazing. And Mum told me to rest cause nothing was going into my brain & she was telling me not to get my knickers in a twist. Hahaha I find it funny whenever my Mum says this. Okay, I can't be bothered to type out a proper post.

So Social Studies was......... I don't think I'm going to do well but when do we ever feel satisfied with our marks actually? Like when you get an a2, you'd be sad cause you didn't get an a1. And like when you get an a1, you'd be sad cause you didn't top the cohort and whatever nonsense. Isn't that how everybody feels? Hahaha see this is the whole problem. We're never satisfied with what we have & I admit that I'm like that too. THIS HAS GOT TO CHANGE cause it's bad. It's like we're so greedy and we always want more and more. When will we ever be satisfied and pleased with what we have? This applies in terms of money, clothes (hahaha) and almost everything. Like even when you have a cupboard full of clothes and bags, you still want more right? Okay maybe that only applies for me. Hahaha but still.

I keep getting all worried about how I'm going to get 20+ points and not make it into any jc and then I start getting so stressed. I think that I have a very weak mind & I cannot take stress. Because the moment I feel stressed, I start worrying & then I get a mental breakdown. I wish I had a stronger brain. I need to go for classes that strengthen your mental outlook on things. Hahaha I think that I'm like talking nonsense right now. So today my Mum said that I need to be less lethargic and have more energy. Okay I suppose so cause Vera says that I emit this very lazy feeling. Hahaha do I really? So I think I need to get my act together and be more energetic and stuff. But it's never been in me to be the one who's always jumping about the house or singing out loud. I've always been the one who wants to sit down on the floor cause I'm tired or the one who wants to sleep. Hahahahahaha

And lately, I keep taking naps. I take like 2 hour naps everyday which is kinda bad and I keep lazing around. Okay, I'm starting to feel guilty cause everyone else has been putting in alot of effort into their work. I shall go and do some amaths now & give rachel a call. Hahahaha

Oh yeah, and I can't wait for the year end holidays. Sharlene Wong, please tell me your school isn't gonna subsidise your trip to China so you'll come to London. Hahaha let me know asap then we can get down to booking tickets okay.

Best of luck to everyone for all the other papers (:

2006-08-22T22:51:00.000-12:00

So I turned 16 yesterday (: Yay to that. But I also happened to fall ill yesterday so I stayed off school yesterday & today & went to the doctors and I've got a nasty flu and a bad sore throat. Probably going to return to school tomorrow though. So thank you to everyone who messaged me & wished me a happy birthday. Let me see if I can remember everyone- vera, kara, wendy, sarah chua, shar, farah, justin, cheng qi, tiff, xiao xian, phoebe, shaofang, sam, rach, aunty rokiah & family & uncle jeffery & family, my sisters & parents etc etc.

So being 16 doesn't seem much different except that I'm a year older and 2 years away from learning to drive!! Hahaha. I can't wait for that. And now that I'm 16, I shall learn to be more responsible for my actions and be more mature in my thoughts and not asking such stupid questions. Ling's been driving us around alot lately which is pretty fun & she is a pretty good driver I must say!

Ling has been busy packing her bags for London the past few days so the room's in a total mess with her HUMONGOUS pink suitcase on the floor & things scattered everywhere. She & Mum are out getting stuff for London. You won't believe it but Ling has a pink torchlight (omg) and she wants to get a pink iron. HAHAHAHA and her suitcase is way too pink. But the suitcase is pretty cute.

Okay prelims in a week & my #1 wish for now is to recover by then so I can give my best for the 2 papers we have. Okay I'm going back to my notes now.

2006-08-19T20:32:00.000-12:00

Met shar on friday at holland village for dinner & some shopping. Then we went to get our nails done & the service was fab! Got my toenails done a really bright pink which was kinda cute since I wanted a fun colour and it's called "you are such a kabuki queen". Hahaha then shar couldn't decide whether to do her nails but she sucummber in the end.

So basically I had the coolest birthday party ever yesterday. There was cross country in the morning was quite a chore because it was absolutely hot & I felt so sticky and dirty so I didn't have too much fun & I whined and complained but I do admit I'm a spoilt child who hates having to wait in the sun. So after that, Mum sent Su & I to my aunt's and we had lunch etc etc.

Left her place around 3 to come back home & my aunt was saying something about her friend's daughter being at the function room at our condo cause there was some party. So she wanted me to see her friend so I went along instead of going up & when I walked in, everyone started popping those party things & spraying those foam cans. Omg it was so sweet (: Ling planned my 16th surprise birthday & got all my friends to help out. Seriously, it was so good & I was pretty stunned. Hahahaha. So we had food and stuff and we took quite a number of photos.

Then rach, renee, stef, lisze, viv and shaofang took me into the room & sang a song for me. Omg it was so sweet but kinda funny cause they were loud during the chorus. Hahaha :D Then they passed me the sweetest gift which was a scrapbook with dedications to me & pictures and the captions were hilarious. So they expected me to cry but I didn't. Haha. Then I was in the room trying to wake Su up cause she wasn't feeling well & Ling was asking me to come out cause there was another guest. So I walked out & there was sharlene. HAHAHA omg I started screaming & Ling looked at me. Lol it was hilarious cause I just saw her on friday. Then we had more food & played the finger game which was fun! Then they played bridge etc.

Rach & Lisze had to go off so we cut the birthday cake which was yummy cause Mum got it from four seasons. Took more pictures after that & sat around. Julia, Joey, Jamie & Janice came after that renee had to go off so we sent her to the lobby & Shaofang and Su pushed me into the pool. Omg I tried to like resist them but the floor was wet since it was drizzling so I fell in & my slippers came off. Aahhhhh my slippers are new but luckily they're dry not. So I changed into new clothes and then around 5 we went upstairs to my house cause someone else had booked the function room. We played twister while Ling, Julia, Jan & Jing played monopoly & Ling kept screaming away. Haha. So we decided to play the finger game again & stef lost so she owes us money. Then we played bridge, bluff & heart attack which was fun.

Ate in between & then we had a karaoke session & everyone left by 10. I had TONS of fun & thank you SO SO SO much to Ling for planning it (: And to all my friends who came, I love you guys!! And thank you for all the presents & basically for celebrating my birthday with me & I'm so happy cause I never expected a surprise party!!! Love you guys :D Will post the pictures another time. And thank you to EVERYONE who came (:

Hello (: I am so very tired today. I think it's due to the fact that I slept at 10.30 last night!!! Ahhhh I love sleeping (: Silly Gourie Pandey messaged me on Monday night at 11pm. Omg I was sleeping & I heard my phone go off. Okay, this week has been pretty okay so far but I can't wait for the exams to come. At the same time, I really hope I'll be able to cover everything but the reason why I want it to come quickly is so that it will end soon! That is logical if you think about it cause whenever I tell that to people, they give me that look.

So the past few days have been good. Church on Sunday was fab & I love all of Matthew O'Meara's sermons. They are so so so good. Then after that, we went for my birthday lunch (though my birthday's only next tues) at Hilton Hotel. Omg we had the buffet & the buffet there is seriously #1. They have such a wide variety & there was roast beef (!!!!!!!!!!) and yorkshire pudding. Not forgetting tepanyaki etc etc. Ling being the food idiot she is, took some yorkshire pudding for Mum & drenched the whole thing in the gravy. Haha it was hilarious though but it looked pretty gross. There was this balloon guy & he made me a birthday hat & Ling insisted I wear it but of course I didn't. So she ended up wearing it cause she found it cute. And then he made her the rose from Beauty & the beast since she's such a disney fan. Lol so we were stuffed after that & walked around for a short while & I never realised there are 2 branches of club 21 cause Mum wanted to show it to me. Ling went to get her watch from fossil and then we went home. On the way back, we had a very interesting conversation & I learnt that Ling has many funny nick names given by her friends. For example........

1) Bunny Girl. HAHAHAHA they think she looks like a bunny
2) Chip munk. Okay I see the relevance cause she is small
& lastly
3) May Ling Lee May Ling. Hahahaha this one is hilarious & there's a whole long story but I'm way too lazy to type it out. I couldn't stop laughing cause it was hilarious. Hahaha

Ling & Mum have delayed their flights to London by a week cause Ling's decided to skip international orientation. So Mum, Jing & Ling will be leaving on the 16th of Sept which also happens to be Jing's birthday! That lucky girl, she's going to be missing about 2 weeks of school. So Mum & Jing will get back after my prelims end & that's good cause I can go & pick them up from the airport! I'm pretty glad their still leaving on a Saturday though cause I reckon that I'll be crying alot so it wouldn't be good if I had an exam the next day. Haha

There was O level oral for English today & it was okay. But I have this feeling that I didn't do too well :/ But it's over so there's nothing I can do. Cross country this Saturday & yeah, that's about it.

2006-08-12T03:16:00.000-12:00

Through the alleyways
To cool off in the shadows
Then into the street
Following the water
There's a bearded man
Paddling in his canoe
Looks as if he has
Come all the way from the Cayman Islands

Kings of Convenience is probably the best music to listen to when doing math because they have such amazing yet soothing voices. Hahaha I can so expect Rachel thinking "Noooo they put me to sleep!". But really, it works well for me. I tried listening to panic! at the disco but it's way too fast & just gets my heart beating faster. Haha omg this reminds me of "let's get these teen hearts beating faster faster". That was silly but it totally brings back memories of listening to their songs with kara in the car.

I derive a sense of satisfaction whenever I complete a chapter of whatever subject cause it just makes me feel so accomplished! I'm sure everyone feels that way too. With the prelims coming around, I wouldn't say that I'm totally prepared but I'm coming along for a few subjects with the exception of a few. My history is way behind schedule but I'm planning to complete SS first before moving on so I hope it works out. I really really do not get P&C for amath and I think it's the most senseless topic in the history of math!!

It is true that the majority of Singaporean kids are faced with stress in a society where grades are the most "important" but sometimes I just can't help but wonder why things are the way they are. A good education is defininitely a way out for many people but when it comes to a point where children dread studying, then it's definitely not something good. What Mum always says is beginning to make some sense- the exams are solely based on ONE day's performance & if you make it, that's good. But then for those who don't... Sometimes I think it's quite silly how parents scream at their kids when they fail subjects and stuff because I really think that support from your parents & family is the most important thing and it just keeps you going during tough times. Of course parents always want the best for their children but they should realise that by scolding their kids, it's not gonna help them at all. I think I'd be so miserable if my parents were so unreasonable. Haha.

School & life in general has been okay with the exception for a few obstacles here and there. I have decided to ignore this particular teacher in school because she is just so mean & biased towards me. I don't think that I'm being unfair by saying so cause most people agree with me. It's really obvious that she obviously does NOT like me cause she keeps picking on me & telling me to do my work and keep quiet. I kinda found it funy initially & I even thought she was okay in the beginning. Well what in the world was I thinking?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Well the thing is that I normally try to complete my work before talking, although I sometimes find it hard to fight the temptation! Haha. But other than that, I try not to. And like when almost EVERYONE is talking, she just has to tell me that she's been watching me. That really annoys me cause it's like she's purposely picking on me. I get so annoyed & it really gets to me sometimes. And I don't think that I talk too much (haha) cause I really don't & most teachers don't seem to have a problem with me apart from the usual look they give but not like EVERY single lesson. And if I was that talkative, they'd have changed my seat or written something like "Hwee Ling needs to learn to shut her mouth during lessons" in my report card. But no, I didn't get that so that proves my point! Also, it's not like I'm that evil & I do hand in my homework on time most of the time, or at least I think so. I even like that subject so I'm not going to let her affect my attitude towards it cause I want to do well in it & prove it to her. Heh :D Lol but I talked to Mum and she says that the best way to solve it would be to keep quiet during that lesson so the teacher won't be able to pick on me. And so, that is what I shall do. Mwahahaha from now on, she won't be able to put me down or pick on me anymore. Yay to that! Let's see if she'll continue picking on me from now on ;)

Apart from that, everything's been more or less okay. I was feeling pretty angry last week though cause I was sick etc etc but Kara's comment totally cheered me up (:

2006-08-10T22:24:00.000-12:00

So I've more or less recovered now and that's good. This week has been okay & we only had 2 days of school cause of national day & the holidays that followed. Almost everyone went to school in their traditional costumes on Tuesday & everyone looked so pretty. So I wore Ling's sari & I think I kinda wore it wrongly cause I tucked the thing too much cause I was scared that it'd drop but luckily Eryn helped me with it. Hahaha. Took pictures with classmates & the tennis girls. The TK idol was pretty okay but I think Su was the best. Hahahaha okay I'm being bias cause she's my sister. Then I had tuition after that buttttt it wasn't too bad cause there was The Hills at night! Yay for The Hills. Ahhhhh I love it.

Wednesday was national day & we went out in the evening to SSC. Had dinner with Aunty Annie & family. Rachael & Hannah joined us cause Aunty Judy & Uncle John are currently in Helsinki. Ooh interesting. Then after that we went to Aunty Annie's place to watch the fireworks at night & their view is seriously perfect. The balcony totally looks out to the stadium and stuff. Then we stayed on for a while cause the jam was so bad cause everyone was leaving so it took about 2 hours.

Thursday was spent studying at home & then I had training in the afternoon. Okay so I was playing & we were doing volleys and my blister on my index finger suddenly burst. It hurt so bad that I had to stop training but luckily it was the last 15 minutes. Hahaha and now the skin's so red and raw & I can't put a plaster. It hurts bad. But my mum thinks that it's just a small blister but it so is not!! And when I showed it to Vivien she was like "I thought it was so huge from the way you described it!". Ahhhh uncompassionate people! It really is a massive blister & don't be fooled by how small it seems. Haha I can't even wash my hair properly. So yesterday after training, I went to cut my hair at Reds so that they could wash my hair for me. Hehe (: And I wanted a change of hairstyle but the guy said that no matter what style he cuts for me, it'll return to look the same cause of my annoying frizzy hair texture & my wispies. Now I get what he means cause it's really massive. Hahaha.

So we got back our chinese o levels today & it was so pressurising. Everyone looked so tense and serious in the void deck. No kidding. And some classes had already got their results so some people were crying & I started crying even before I knew my results. Omg what a baby. Haha. But seriously, I could really feel the stress & that whole tense feeling for some reason. So I was queuing for my results & when it came to my turn, I just signed it & I didn't even look at my oral marks. Thank God Rach & Lisze were there and saw it. So after that I just started crying. Hahaha at first I was like kinda disappointed with my marks but then after a while I was quite happy. Then I wasn't too sure whether I was happy or sad & everyone was asking me why I was crying & whether it was cause I was disappointed. So I was like telling them that I didn't know if I was happy or sad. And at the same time, I was sobbing away & laughing at the same time. Haha seems quite stupid now but that really did happen. So I called Mum & then I just started crying even more. Lol. And Mum sounded so worried & she asked what I got so I told her and she was like " that's good so why are you crying Hwee?" & I was like "Is that good? Do you think it's good or bad? I don't know if I'm happy or sad that's why I'm crying & everyone is crying so maybe that's why I'm crying". HAHAHA. So after that Mum convinced me that it was good & above my expectations and told me to be happy and stop crying.

Thank you sooo much Vivien, Rach, Lisze & everyone else. So after I put down the phone I continued crying. HAHA I can really cry okay. I think after today everyone will realise how easily I cry. I might even win in a crying competition if there's ever such a thing. But I can't help it because I just have to cry whenever other people cry cause it's so sad to see people crying. Omg seriously. So I still felt kinda apprehensive about my marks till my friends said it was good & I suppose it is for my standard so now I'm happy with it & I'm not going to retake (: Then Vivien gave me a hug & walked me to the foyer to wait for Mum. Thanks so much Viv, I really really appreciate you (: And when I got into the car, what did I do? CRY again. Hahahahaha seriously. So Mum was like " Why are you crying dear. You did very well etc etc" Omg I love my Mum so much. Then we gave Kerri &amp; Viv a lift home. Haha after that we came back & then I called my aunt & I started sobbing. Lol she was so worried till I told her & she was like "is that good or bad?". Hahaha so dramatic okay. Rachel, so much drama! Hahaha I should so have a drama couch. HAHA. Then after that I went to parkway with Mum for lunch & I gave her a hug and I felt better. I guess it was just the whole stress and getting the papers back. I cannot imagine what I'd be like when I get back my Os. Mum's definitely going to have to come along cause I'll probably start crying again like how I did when I got back my PSLE results. Haha that was funny & it took me 2 hours to stop crying cause I was so relieved. Lol.

So today's a very very special day for one of my good friends- Sharlene Wong (: Well Happy happy happy happy 17th birthday my dearest. I hope it was well spent & I'm so glad to have known you for the past 3+ years. Omg we so have to go to London at the end of the year okay (: You're definitely a very good friend & a special one at that.

Without you, I'd never have done all the stupid things
Without you, I wouldn't have loved eating pork knuckle and banana crepes so much!
Without you, I wouldn't have so much fun at our sleepovers
Without you, I wouldn't have had you as my first doubles partner
Without you, I wouldn't have someone to tell stupid jokes to
Without you, I wouldn't have someone to scream with over laguna beach and trey!
And lastly, without you, I'd never have known someone so special, crazy & retarded!!!

So in 2 weeks time, it's my birthday & I'm kinda looking forward to that cause it's not everyday that we turn 16 :D And even though it's during prelim period, I'll have fun for that day!

Love,
Hwee

2006-08-05T01:43:00.000-12:00

So I've been sick since Wednesday & I skipped school on Thursday to rest. Then on Friday I thought I was recovering but I feel sick now so I don't know :( I hope I recover really soon cause Tuesday's National Day celebrations and I don't want to miss out on that and I'm probably going in a sari. And I really really want to go to church tomorrow cause my sis is gonna be playing the piano and it's probably her last time playing before she goes of to London for college. Okay, I'm going to just check my mail & talk to Kara for a while and then I'll turn in. Have a great week ahead (:

And this song is just awesome.

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That dontt bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again
I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

2006-07-28T21:23:00.000-12:00

This week was a pretty packed & eventful one. School's been quite enjoyable & I've got to thank my classmates for that. Lit class on tuesday with hilarious cause Stef & I ended up recalling our primary school stories. I am so glad 2.4km is over & there is no way that I'm going to run again. Mwahahaha (:

Wednesday was drama night & Rach, Lisze & Viv came over for dinner then Mum sent us down. It was pretty good & really funny and I enjoyed it (: Thursday was hilarious cause we had legacy & we were all talking and stuff when something hilarious happened. I just have to say that Vera has really quick instinct! Haha Farah & I were looking at each other and laughing away like mad people.

Yesterday was shaofang's birthday so...

Happy 16th Birthday Shaofang (:

Met Stef at Katong first to look at some prom gowns & it was hilarious. Hahahaha she kept forcing me to take pictures of her. After that we walked to meet Viv at the bus stop & we went down to Marina. Didn't manage to get tickets for the lake house in the end cause they were pretty much sold out. Shaofang came & we settled for dinner at Billy Bombers. Ordered our food, talked, laughed & took pictures. After that we walked over to the Esplanade & Stef was busy messaging away as usual so we ignored her. Lol. Then we walked around and that local band, Ronin was there playing. They were giving me a total headache & I'm sorry to say but their music is........ Haha. Viv & I couldn't take it so we walked off cause the music was making my heart beat so fast. Then we spent a long time deciding what to do cause we were pretty keen on taking the boat to clarke quay. In the end, we decided to sit around and just talk (: After that I took a cab back with Stef. In the afternnon we went to Aunty Judy's house cause Mum got Matt a really cute bag & he was so pleased with it. He still calls Thomas the tank Nonny. Lol it's so cute though (:

Today I took a bus down to Park Mall for an appointment with the physiotherapist. Omg I was walking towards the bus stop from my house & there was a 14 coming along so I was pleased cause my timing was right. So I strolled to the bus stop, feeling very pleased with myself! And then the bus just went right pass me and didn't stop. I thought buses stop at every stop but apparently not. Hahaha when I got to park mall, I told my aunt cause she was waiting for me & she was laughing away. I never knew that we've to flag buses down & so I ended up waiting another 15 minutes for the next one! Ahhhh :/

So the physiotherapist guy says that I have chronic lower back strain & I get to keep off from running and strenuous activities for 2-3 months till my treatment is over! Yay to that so there's no way I'm running again ;) But the good thing is that I still can continue tennis cause it's not too harmful. So apparently my right back muscles are very weak compared to my left & that explains why I always tend to rest my weight on my left foot and when I run I always start of with my left leg. So he taught me some exercises to help my condition. Then I had some electric treatment for 15 minutes and he stuck on these wires to my back and there was some current which felt like ant bites. It was pretty pain at first but got better after a while & it was warm so I ended up falling asleep. And now, I'm not supposed to cross my legs so I'll have to try to get rid of that habit!

I'm the only one home now cause my maid & Jing have gone for the NDP preview thing, Ling's gone to the British Council for some orientation thingy, Mum sent Su to diane's house for some concert. I love how I can keep in touch with Kara through messaging. Ahh (: Okay I have really got to get back to work since I've been quite relaxed this week & the guilt is starting to come in.

2006-07-23T21:43:00.000-12:00

Wow the past week passed by extremely quickly! I don't really remember anything really interesting happening so I shall just try to recall what I did over the weekend.

Well Friday was carnival day & it was fun (: The old people came & my buddy was soo cute (: She was so excited cause her granddaughter's name is exactly like mine. Lol she was so nice & friendly. I really really like old people. It was pretty sad when they had to leave but all good things come to an end. So we were free from all lessons but we had extra chemistry classes after school for an hour which went by pretty fast!

After that, Mum came to pick me up & we went down to parkway. Jing went for chinese tuition & then Ling, Mum & I went to meet Tony at Cafe Bar for high tea. We were waiting outside until Ling realised that Tony was already inside. Lol. So we hugged and settled down and ordered our food. The pasta was really good but filling. And then I had this strawberry soda which was SO bitter & Tony suggested putting sugar. So I took the sugar from him & the 3 of them were laughing away. I thought he really meant it but turns out he was just joking. Haha. So after that Mum helped me to mix it properly & it was slightly better. I wanted Baileys ice cream but they didn't have it so I settled for caramel ice cream.

Omg the caramel ice cream was so nasty. It's probably the most awful tasting ice cream I've ever had. So I ended up playing with it & Mum tried it and she didn't like it either. So it was left on the table until Ling decided to try it for herself cause they didn't believe caramel ice cream could taste that nasty. And she finally believed me! Hahaha it seriously tasted weird. Kinda like coconut + burnt caramel. Lol. Then Tony tried some too & he had the same reaction. Lol. So we basically caught up, heard about college life in Canberra & the funny stories about fridges with locks, talking about the holidays & passed him the photos with cassie & kara etc.

Headed to coffee bean after that for some drinks since we had to wait for Jing to come over. Tony's friend joined us after a while & she was really nice! Sat around for about an hour & then we had to leave. So we hugged Tony & went off. Probably going to meet up at the end of the year when Ling gets back from London & Tony gets back from Canberra. A pity Tasha couldn't join us. It's amazing how all of us can get along with Tony considering he's 23. Hahaha. Went to Marina Square with Mum after that & got a bag and shoes :D

Saturday was spent at home studying & Ling flew off to China for the choir olympics while Sunday was spent at church followed by lunch at Raffles City. I got a really cool diamond pencil & then I went to get my nails done (:

I really really miss Cassie, Kara & Aunty Sheila and I wouldn't trade the June holidays for anything. I had the most awesome holiday & just spending time with them and our families was more that amazing. It's been a month since Kara & Aunty Sheila flew back but it just seems like it was days ago. Kara got back from summer camp yesterday & I just got a message from her :D I miss going shopping with them & entering every shop, singing at the top of our lungs in the car, exchanging stories, listening to what they do in austin, kara's stories about her friends, aunty sheila's long but funny stories, waiting for ling & cassie to get their bedsheets, going to hawker centres & ordering way too much food, laughing at the smallest and silliest things, kara & I trying to remember what drinks everyone else wanted, squeezing in the car, doing math at tony & tasha's house, watching school of rock in leon's room, buying 500 grams of famous amous cookies (lol), going bowling, thinking about stupid things, realising how alike the both of us are, taking the silliest photos & last but not least, getting advice from each other on stuff (: It's the little things like these that make the friendship so much more special.

2006-07-18T19:37:00.000-12:00

If the tears
Should ever cloud your eyes
If the rain
Should ever darken
The skies above you
You'll be alright
Cause I'm here, I'm here
And I'll turn your
Grey skies back to blue
Cause there's nothing
I won't do for you

I feel like I haven't updated in ages!! Okay, I've been pretty busy with the usual stuff & I'm quite proud of myself cause I've started studying for the prelims :D Yay to that! It's not everyday that Hwee-the-girl-known-to-be-lazy studies! Ling was so helpful yesterday & actually taught me how to plan out my schedule properly & some study tips :D She was so appalled when I told her that it takes me 3 whole days to cover a chapter of history. Lol she's convinced that my study pace is way too slow. But I'm okay with that cause I'm used to it.

The week is almost coming to an end!!! Tomorrow's Thursday & on Friday we have carnvial day so there's not going to be any lessons (: We're going to be hosting old people from a home on Friday & I'm pretty loooking forward to it. I like old people :D I find it so insensitive when some people make all these nasty comments about the old people. And I can't believe some of them think that can't walk/chew on food & someone even suggested giving them nappies. How horrible. These people are probably the ones who don't visit their grandparents & I forsee that these people will be the ones who will send their parents to an old folks' home in the future & abandon them & think that they're a nuisance. I think it's really sad cause one day, we're all going to grow old. So when you act this way, it really shows what kind of a person you are & how insensitive you are. It also goes to show the family upbringing cause if parents don't teach their kids to respect olders & stuff then the kids learn from the parents. I know that I'll probably force my parents to live with me in the future & I can so imagine myself going for weekly high teas with my mum (:

Next week is going to be a pretty busy week cause we're going for drama night on Wednesday & on Friday we're bringing shaofang for her 16th birthday dinner! I hope I'll manage to squeeze in time to study. I'm determined to do well for the prelims this time & not let myself down! I have already thought of all the things I want to do after the Os- go on a massive shopping spree & buy everything I like, start exercising, go bargain shopping with rach & our very own tour guide (lisze!), have a food fest (omg rach we have put this off for 2 years!), play tennis, laze around, movies & most importantly... London :D :D :D So I shall stop procrastinating & hit the books now :D

2006-07-13T23:38:00.000-12:00

I've just been blog hopping & I just realised how lucky I am to come from a family where love, joy, peace & happiness are such common things. To know that there are others out there who lack love & family support is rather depressing but that makes me cherish my family even more. The Lord has blessed me with an amazing family & though we have our quarrels here & there, they make our relationship even more special & occassional tiffs help to strengthen our family bonds. And to me, my family means everything to me (: Perhaps it's good that our family's small cause that explains why we're so close knit. Cause there's only my parents, grandma, grand aunt, 2 aunties & the 4 of us. So I just want everybody who's reading this to know that I love the Lee family with all my heart & soul.

I may travel the world over
But one thing I know for sure
One day this road will lead me
Back round to your door
I will pray the Lord
Will keep you safe
Some bonds are just too strong
To break in the end

And you have been my Godsend
With your sure and steady love

Build God then we'll talk

2006-07-12T23:08:00.000-12:00

I think that this bag is so cute & interesting & I want it!

But I want this brown straw bag even more. Haha

School was seriously fun today (: Haha it put me in such a good mood & I was laughing alot. Well firstly we had quite fun periods today with the exception of ______. Haha (: So anyway, we had this quiz thing during Lit and it was so hilarious. So we were split into groups & we had to answer questions. And when it was ____'s turn, she was so enthusiastic & it was highly amusing. So Vera, Farah & I were laughing away. Then Mrs Hoe asked what a soliloquy was & said that whoever could answer that would get an extra 10 points for the team. And so, my hand immediately shot up cause I knew the answer. Haha and then I immediately got up & answered the question. Then Farah, Vera & Stef were laughing away cause they said that I was so enthusiastic & I started giving the answer even before she finished asking the question.

Hahahaha it was so funny. I didn't even realise that I got up immediately cause I was too engrossed in answering the question. Then after that, Vera was re-enacting the scene & that got me laughing. Then we had a few more questions to answer so they were all "Hwee run up to the board and answer!" Hahaha omg.

Then during Legacy, Vera, Farah, Hannah & I were talking about _____. Hahaha it was so funny cause we were exaggerating so much. And we were being so nonsensical & the whole thing about applying sunblock everyday was hilarious. Oh & vera and her Ferragamo shoes with spring. HAHAHAHA. That was like on wednesday & the whole LV jacket thing. Veralyne Tan, are you laughing as you read this? Haha. Omg last week (monday) was even more ridiculous cause Vera & I were writing notes to each other about the whole issue & the 5 carat ring. Lol :D

There was English Oral after school & I had to wait for about an hour & a half. I think it went pretty well & Mrs Thong was giggling away which was quite funny & cute but that helped me relax a little. She asked if I would ever work in a zoo so obviously I said no cause that's the truth. And she asked what my interests were so I said baking & cooking & she asked if I planned to venture into that in the future. So I told her that probably not initially but most likely after retirement & she said that I plan far. Lol

Mum's clearing out all our shoes now cause we've got way too many. Lol it's kinda ridiculous that we have so many pairs & I took a photo of the mountain of shoes which I'll upload soon. I think that each of us have at least 25 shoes. Hahaha take that x5. But girls love shoes so that explains it all! But the bad thing is that I can never share Mum's shoes cause she's 2 sizes smaller than me but she benefits from me cause she can wear mine :( And she has this gorgeous pair of gladiators that I so want but they're too small so I plan to look for them this weekend. But Ling is the craziest I think. She has a gazillion pairs & she has 42 handbags. Total madness. I remember what Leon's reaction was when he heard that. Hahahaha ;) The good thing is that she won't be bringing all to London so hehe :D

Okay, we're going to the airport in an hour's time to pick my Aunt who's arriving in from Perth cause she went there for some conference & I heard she got us stuff :D Hehehehehehe I am a happy girl :D

2006-07-09T23:06:00.000-12:00

Hello fellows. That's like my favourite catch phrase for some reason. I think it's very funny but whenever I say it, no one laughs. Haha okay I know I'm not very funny. But people should make me feel good about myself! Especially Ling, whenever I say that she gives me that look of hers. Haha. And yet when she starts laughing like a hyena when she reads a book, no one says anything! Just an hour ago she was reading & burst out laughing. Haha what a weirdo.

Okay so since the last time I posted an entry, things have been good (: I've filled up half of my prelim timetable but I hope they give us the exact dates soon so I can plan everything. Started revising a little today & I hope studying becomes interesting after a while. It's just the initial start that's tough. School's been the same old & we had chem practical CA today & I didn't know what I was doing. Haha but I'll learn from it. We've got english prelim oral this week & I'm hoping it goes really well.

And yes, my 2 favourite bands of the moment are.... The Kinks (!!!) and Panic! at the disco. Yes I know, I never thought I'd like panic! at the disco but surprisingly, their songs are good. Okay let me rephrase my sentence, I like their music, not them. Especially Build God then we'll talk. The part where they go lalalala is funny. But there's something to their music which gives me this eerie feeling. Ling & Su laughed when I told them that cause they asked why I still listen to their music since it's creepy. Haha it just is okay. And The Kinks... Let me bet that everyone reading this hasn't heard of them. Well well, they're from the 60s & they're a British band. Though they no longer exist, their music is just AWESOME. Way better than beatles & beegees and they used to be a real big hit back in the 60s. The whole music vibe is cool. And they have cute lyrics & titles. Haha (:

On Saturday, I went out for lunch with my family cause it was my grandma's 74th birthday & my maid's 27th birthday! They're both born on the 8th of july! So we had a really yummy lunch & after that we went to my grandma's place. Then my aunt had this contact of this Chinese lady who gives massages and foot reflexology so we arranged for her to come. She was really good & she is really really strong. Haha after she massaged my back I was aching all over but she said it'd go away in 24 hours cause my deep muscles are kinda injured. I never knew we had deep muscles. Haha & so she explained why my back & hip always hurt so bad. But the good thing is that my joints aren't broken & she said cause I'm still young (haha), it shouldn't take too long to recover. Then Mum, Jing, my aunt & I went to the beach in the evening for a walk. It was so windy & cool. The tides were also really really high. So basically, I spent the whole of Saturday out.

On Sunday, the 4 of us went to church cause Mum had to send Dad for his meeting. Matthew O'meara gave the sermon & it was good as usual (: Songs were awesome too. Then we got a lift from Aunty Doe & Lixin to Borders to meet Mum. Got US Seventeen & Teen Vogue & some other stuff from paperchase (: I saw this card that I knew rach would like so I got it for her. And today when I passed it to her, she said she has it. Ahhhh I felt so cheated & Lisze & her were laughing at me. So I gave it to lisze instead & i know she'll appreciate it MUCH more than rach. HA ;)

And I wanted to plan a surprise farewell for Ling before she goes off to London but my mum and aunt were so convinced and sure that she wouldn't want one in case I invited the wrong people & it'd be awkward and that Ling would rather have a small group of friends over for a bbq or dinner. But then we asked her yesterday & she said she wouldn't have minded a surprise farewell! I knew it!!! Like who wouldn't want a surprise farewell? So I told my mum that when I go off in the future, I would love it if they planned one for me. Hahahahahahaha :D But now, we can't have a surprise one since they leaked everything out.

Okay, I've got some work to finish off. Bye :D

2006-07-05T22:02:00.000-12:00

I am so tired & grouchy & very very sleepy. It's only 6pm so it's still 4 hours to my bedtime & I still have a chemistry test to study for. At the back of my head I keep telling myself that the CAs aren't important & I should focus more on preparing for the prelims. But yet at the same time, I'm worried that if I don't do well for them, then I'd not be prepared for the prelims either. Can somebody save me?! I really don't understand why we have CAs this term cause they should let us focus on getting ready for the prelims. Okay I shan't go into that cause I'd be able to churn our 101 reasons as to why CAs shouldn't be the priority right now.

Basically to sum things up: I am in a bad mood. And don't ask me why, cause I just am. This is how I feel right now >>>>:( People have one frown, I have 4 frowns okay! There are some days where you feel so tired & lethargic & you feel like giving up everything that's happening. Maybe that's how I feel right now. I just keep thinking of all the good things & that makes me sad. Just 10 days ago Aunty Sheila & family were in town & we had so much fun together. I miss them so so so much. And now, I keep on thinking about London after prelims. Well that's not gonna happen if I don't do well for prelims. But I don't seem to have any drive at the moment.

I have a 101 chemistry questions I can't solve & they're only MCQ. Omg I think I'm going to flunk the test tomorrow. I hate it when people say that they are going to "screw up in a test" or that "they're screwed." Screw is such an inappropriate word! It just annoys me so much & I think it is sooo rude. That's definitely one of my pet peeves. Okay pardon my irritable & brat-like behaviour. And I wish that some people would learn to be more tactful & sensitive cause sometimes, it's just so appalling how they behave.

I wish my life right now was like Ling's. She is probably having so much fun right now. All she has been doing everyday is- Go shopping/ Go out/ Watch movies/ Run errands/ Get stuff for London ready/ Watch the tv/ Read/ Hang out with friends/ Go for volunteer work twice a week & play sudoku on the computer. Omg she spends half the day trying to compete with her friend to see whose average timing is better. Haha it really is quite funny & I have to say that I am dead jealous of her. But I also have to say that it's because she put in effort & hardwork into her studies which is why she's enjoying herself so much now.

Okay, I shall seek Rachel's help for chemistry now. Poor rachel, I pity her cause I have to call her all the time whenever I have doubts about chemistry. It must be tough being her/being my friend. Haha. I'd be so irritated if I was her & someone kept asking me questions. Oh rachel oh rachel, you are much appreciated :D And Vivien, will you come to school earlier tomorrow?! MAN, FILL ME IN. I hope you're feeling guilty cause you haven't told me all your stories since the holidays! Haha okay I am just kidding about the guilty part.

P.S Happy birthday Gee (: I can't believe you didn't like the present Vera & I got for you. HAHA kidding.

Angsty Hwee.

2006-07-03T01:56:00.000-12:00

I love you Kara Mae Leaman

On the way to dinner. This was before we started doing all the ridiculous faces which I shan't post. Hahaha

Ooh the colourful nails.

Groupie (:

Laughing while we were singing karaoke. And to me, this is true happiness.

Well hellooooo everybody! It's a monday night & I'm about to turn in for bed soon but before that, I shall do a quick update! So let me recollect. It's been 3 days or so since I last posted an entry & nothing much has really happened during that period.

On friday we had our GCSE O level MT oral & it was.... Now that's up to you to interpret it. Lol :D Okay, it was average I guess. I'm really hoping I do well for the Chinese exam though. I don't really know what I'd consider well at the moment, but perhaps a pass or maybe a B if a miracle happens. But I do know that if I get a B or anything better, I'd be so happy. Well before that I had lunch with Gee, Tiff & Vera and OMG we were talking about all these singers & how we're such boyband fans. HAHAHA it was hilarious cause Tiff was like "Michael learns to rock" & all of us started screaming away and burst out laughing. I was hitting the table so hard cause it was really hilarious & we didn't realise we were screaming so loudly. Tiff got a huge shock from our responses & after that we couldn't stop laughing. Lol

Saturday was quite fun too (: I woke up early to specially go to the gym. HAHAHA omg yes, me & gym in the same sentence!! Then after that I baked brownies then Mum sent me down to meet the others at Aquarius. Got a lift from Rach's parents & we (Gou, Lisze, Rach & I) went to Mr Ang's place to visit Annabelle & their baby. I sat in their car boot on the way there & rachel was supposed to sit with me but she abandoned me in the end. It was fun though (: I like sitting in car boots. Haha. We were the first to get there so we just sat around & talked. Then Sam came & we had lunch. Viv & Shaofang arrived soon & yeah. Some of them left after a while but SF, Viv, Gou & I stayed on till 2 plus. The baby's really cute & has alot of hair.

Sunday was the usual. Church in the morning, followed by lunch with the family (: Went down to taka for lunch & they were having the Zara sale. Boy was it crowded. The spotlights, crowd, messy clothes etc etc were too much for me so I didn't bother getting anything. Plus everything was all over the floor so I doubt that they'd be in tip-top condition. You truly see the crazy side of people during sales cause you see all these people grabbing at whatever they can find. Lol it's pretty funny watching them though. Then we went to parkway at night to get some groceries. Walked around with Su, developed the photos we took with kara etc. I managed to convince Su to get a beautiful green top from Dorothy Perkins!! Yay, I'm making good progress in turning her into a more girly girl. HAHA :D

As for today... I went out with Mum & Godma to this baking store that was cool. They had tons of equipment & stuff. Then we went for lunch after that & came back. I tried to do an hour of chemistry but I'm not even done with one chapter. Ahhhh. I'll have to rush over the next few days. Then I went over to Rach's for tennis & it was the usual- alot of laughing. Hahaha she kept immitating the way I act & how I'm such a sloth. But she looked like some jellyfish. Then there were these annoying little boys who were climbing on the fences outside the courts. So while rach & I were hitting, I tried to aim my shots at them & I succeeded a couple of times. It was pretty fun. HAHA I am such a meanie.

So I'm still pretty much addicted to Myspace. Hahaha boycott friendster!!! Talked to Tasha today & we're planning to meet up. And yes, I'm still suffering from the Kara-syndrome. Hahaha. Okie dokie, another week of school's about to start & it's about time I take everything seriously.

P.S. I've already loaded most of the pictures we took with kara etc onto the web but i'm not going to put up the link. So ask me if you want it & I'd consider. Haha

2006-06-28T21:34:00.000-12:00

We made sure we took this- the 4 of us who grew up together

The whole group of us: Leamans, Lees & Trazils

Tony carrying Kara's bag (haha) & Cassie

This was at the Night Safari. Kara & her two new found good friends ;)

4 of us at the Night Safari (:

So yesterday afternoon was spent with Kara which was sweet (: Came back from school & took a quick shower & left with Ling, Mum & Jing to pick them up. So Aunty Sheila, Tony, Cassie, Alex & Kara came & off we went to parkway. They wanted to have a quick lunch so we got some food. I got some dessert that was awful.

After that Kara, Cassie, Alex, Ling & I went to get Famous Amos since they wanted to bring back some to Texas cause the ones there are cold and not as nice. Now I really love Famous Amos :D Mmmhm. Went to the arcade with the 4 of them after that. Kara, Ling & I were playing this really fun game and we were laughing so hard cause it was really funny. We were so happy to find it cause we played it at Sentosa the previoust trip. Ling & I were bad at it though & Kara won everything. Haha. We just kept slotting in coins after coins. Alex was playing some fighting game while Cassie was playing puzzle bubble. Ling's watch broke while we were playing cause she was so violent & then her hand started bleeding cause she thought glass had gone it. But in the end it was okay. Then we sent Alex to the taxi stand cause he needed to go back to his hotel to get his stuff. Saw Viv & Stef after that eating ice cream. Lol. Then saw shaofang & co.

Then they wanted to get their nails done so yeah. Kara got this really cute barbie pink that was shocking but it was a fun colour. Cassie got hers done in this cool green to match her ring & Ling got purple. So I was just watching them since I couldn't get my nails done cause of school. Then they kept asking me to get my toenails done, so I sucucumbed in the end. Heh :D I got a really pale pink since they were previously dark red. Met up with Mum & Aunty Sheila & Tony after that and then we went back to the house. I was doing some amath cause we had homework & Cassie and Kara were so amazed by what we learn here cause they said it's way easier in US. So we were having this tutorial that was funny. Lol.

Packed their luggage & Kara took a shower. Then we waited for the others to come & off we were for dinner. There were 16 of us, a real huge group & we had a pretty good dinner though we were so full. Tony has such huge arm muscles that his elbows can't touch each other & we were so amazed by that. Su & Tony are so health-obsessed and all. They were talking about how mcdonalds makes you really tired & wears you out & how sweets are terrible. Then they were talking about exercising etc. Haha. And he kept doing all these funny things that were quite gross though. Lol. Went back to the house in Leon's car & the music was so loud that you could feel the car vibrating. Kara calls it a back massage. Lol.

Then we all left for the airport in 3 separate cars. Went along in Leons again with Ling, Cassie, Alex, Kara. Got to the airport & waited for them to check in. The sweet shop there was so disappointing cause they removed so much stuff & they don't sell Wonka chocolates anymore. Took alot of photos the whole day though which was good cause they capture memories (: Their flight was 12am so around 10.30, they went into the gates. Of course before that, we took a whole group photo & we looked like some tour group cause there were 16 of us. Haha. Then Kara & I took alot of photos.

So it was time for them to go in & then we exchanged hugs. Aunty Sheila started crying & so when she hugged me I started crying. Mum was crying & so was Leon and I think Ling. Then I hugged Kara & she was crying too :( Then Cassie was tearing slightly. Tasha & Tony had red eyes and everyone was so sad. Hugged all of them once more & they went in. I know Mum was really sad, and so was I. Because having to see your friends go off definitely isn't the nicest feeling in the world. Unless you've been through that, you don't understand how sad it is to see them go. The thought of not seeing them for a year or so is just so terrible but aunty sheila promised to email me every month or so. Su & Jing didn't cry but then Mum said that's cause it's different for them cause Ling & I grew up with Cassie and Kara.

So all of us had watery eyes & then we all went home & said goodbye to Leon & Aunty Germaine etc etc. I still am sad though, because friends like them are really so hard to come by. Friends whom you can trust so well & not worry about having to keep secrets are so rare. I'm actually tearing now as I type this. Haha gosh I am such an emotional person. Kara promised to write to me while she's at camp so that'll be awesome. I know that our friendship between our families will last forever & when Tony asked Kara what life would be in the future, she said that both of us would stay next door to each other & our kids would be best friends too. That'd be so cute. And she said I'd help her look after her kids. Hahahaha (:

And so, though I've said this so many times, I still am so lucky to have a friend like Kara & she's the bestest friend anybody can ever have. Her personality & character's just so kind-hearted and caring. People might think that I'm exaggerating but seriously, she's got the best personality I know. And not many people know how it's like to have your best friend halfway the world from you but distance doesn't matter cause we said we'll still continue to talk on AIM and Skype & now I can message her cause she gave me her handphone number there. Plus there's Myspace.

Okay, I shall stop here before I bore everyone who's reading this! And thank you rachel for that message this morning cause what you said makes sense. Haha. Vivien Sng, I have to catch up with you asap. If you're reading this, come to my class tomorrow morning ;) Love you guys.

I've got way more photos but I'll load them another time. And even though the prelims start realy soon, I will continue to update this cause I don't believe in not using the com till the Os are over cause that is RIDICULOUS. It's okay to use it, like what Mum said, just in moderation. So hopefully I can exercise some self-control! So from now on, I'd probably update once/twice a week as compared to almost everyday!

2006-06-26T23:16:00.000-12:00

So the Night Safari last night was real good (: I can't get over the fact that I went to the Night Safari on a school night! Haha like what was I thinking?!?! But the company & fun made up :D There were 9 of us- Aunty Sheila, Cassie, Kara, Cassie's bf (Alex), Aunty Eileen, Ling, Leon & Me (: I had alot of fun with them. It was soo dark though, and yes I know everyone says it's cause it's the night safari. But it was SO dark. Haha. There were some parts that were pitch black & me & Kara couldn't even see each other! But I loved those fire torches. They were real cool. So survivor-like. Hahaha. We took some cool pictures with these tribal-looking men in loin cloth & Kara made friends with one of them. Hahahahahaha (:

So we walked for like half an hour till we realised that the show was starting at 9 & that we were walking in the wrong direction. HAHA. So Kara & I lead the way back & boy, it was quite a work out! All of us could feel the muscles developing. Lol. Then we watched the show thing which was okay & there were these things crawling down the rope & they were so near us. Omg :/ And there was a huge cobra. Or was it a python? Whichever, it was a snake. Ha ;) Then we took the tram ride & it lasted for about half an hour. Saw the barking deer, otters, hyenas (ugh), hippos & rhinos etc etc. There was this part which was SOO stinky. Mum was pretty scared of the hyenas cause the last time we went, they kept looking at us so ever since. Haha luckily I was in the middle of the seat cause Leon was on my left & Kara on my right.

The lady who was speaking was quite good though. And Leon kept adding these sound effects that got us laughing real hard. Then the lady was all "please keep quiet & no whistling etc etc". What a party-pooper! But he continued to provide entertainment, just that he lowered his voice. Haha. Then we arrived back at the entrance around 10+ & went to the gift shop for a while.

Sent Alex back to shangri-la after that then Aunty Sheila & all home. So by the time we got back, it was 11 plus. Took my shower & dried my hair & went to bed around 12 plus. Ahhh I only had like 6 hours of sleep & I kept nodding off in physics :/

They're flying off tomorrow to Texas. Just spoke to Kara on the phone & decided that I'm going to rush back from school tomorrow, take a shower & get changed. Then I'm going to Uncle Green's so I can hang out with Kara & then we'll decide where to go. Their flight's at 11pm which is good so we can spend almost the whole day. Then we'll send them off to the airport :( The 3 weeks passed really fast but it was amazing. I know I'll cry tomorrow night when they go off which is so sad, but oh well. At least we really enjoyed ourselves & I know that our friendship's still ever-so-strong. Okay, going to load some pictures for Kara on Myspace now. I love you Kara my bestest friend in the whole wide world & I am so glad & happy to be your best friend too :D Amazing isn't it, 15 years we've known each other. It's true what Kara said yesterday, " Hwee it's insane how we've know each other forever!"

My friends & family play such an important part in my life & I love all of you guys. I think I'll be so sad when Ling leaves too. She's probably leaving on the 9th of September which is a Saturday. But at least I'll be able to send her off. Okay then.

School was pretty okay today. English was interesting & Vera, TAI TAI yeah ;) Haha :D

2006-06-25T20:26:00.000-12:00

Well hello (: School started today & it wasn't too bad actually. It was great seeing everyone back though :D And Vera, omg I still have so many things to talk about! It seems like I haven't talked to you in years but we'll talk tomorrow in amath again, provided that Miss Yeo doesn't see us. Haha.

The holidays went by really fast but it's okay cause I had ALOT of fun this holiday. Who would have I thought that I'd be able to enjoy myself so much considering that this year's important. But I did! And now, I have to start working hard again & get back into the routine of mugging. Oh well, the sacrifices we have to make. But I shan't complain cause the holiday made up for it! I really had SOOO much fun this June & I can't find the words to describe it. Hehe (: Probably one of the best holidays by far even though we didn't go overseas. But I got to see my best friend & that's more than enough (:

Anyway, I better make this quick cause I have to finish off some homework because... I am going to the Night Safari tonight!!! HAHAHAHA how cool is that? Though I'm not a big fan of the animals, I know it's going to be awesome though. Because we're going with Mum, Ling, Cassie, Kara, Aunty Sheila & Cassie's boyfriend. He just got in yesterday so it'll be our first time meeting him. But going to the night safari on a school night hmmm. Well they're leaving this wednesday so I've got to try & spend as much time with them asap. It's not like they're here very often so I suppose it's okay & Mum says it's okay too (:

Let me recall what happened over the weekend.
Saturday- Went with Mum & Jing to meet Aunty Sheila, Cassie, Kara, Uncle Green, Tasha, Leon & Tony in parkway. Tasha and Uncle Green left after that. Then it was shopping time. Went around helping Kara look for shoes for school so we went to Novo. She got a pair of heels & flats for school that were really beautiful. Tony, Leon & Cassie went to play pool and joined us after an hour. Then we walked around for a while more. Kara was asking if I could skip school to stayover this week & I was pretty hesitant but then Tony & Leon were so funny. Hahaha. Both of them were all "School's evil, you don't learn anything from school, you won't miss out anything, spend the day & night with kara instead, skip school, it's only the 1st week etc etc". Haha it was the way they said it that was really comical. Then Aunty Sheila was like "Boys, stop telling Hwee that". Then we went for tea & started talking about all the restaurants & when mum mentioned Lei Garden, Leon got all excited and his face literally lit up. Lol. He was like "it's heaven in a pot". HAHA he got all of us laughing real hard. Then he went back after that.

Continued shopping & Cassie got a couple of pants from Mango. Tony followed us & was really nice and helped to carry all the bags. Then they went lingerie shopping & Kara was trying on all these bras for Tony which was so funny. Haha we couldn't stop laughing & all these people who walked by were staring. But it was tons of fun (: Then we started to touch Tony's hair cause he shaved it & it's so sharp. Then Tony & Cassie were telling us all these stories. It's so cute to see how the 5 of them (cousins) are so close despite the age gap.

Okay, going to get dressed & ready cause Mum's going to swing by with Ling & Aunty Sheila to pick me since Kara, Cassie & her bf are already there. Till then.

2006-06-23T01:52:00.000-12:00

So I've been having alot of fun over the past 2 days. I think the past 2 days plus last tues & wed have been the best days this year. They've been even better than the whole year because I got to spend time with my bestest friend in the whole wide world & our families got to hang out!

So yesterday we went down to meet them at Wheelock cause Kara initially wanted to get a pair of birks but we didn't in the end. Had tutu kuehs which were really yummy. Then we explored the office building cause aunty sheila needed to get something done there. I never knew there were so many floors! So we ended up taking many pictures which was really cute (: Decided that we didn't wanna go shopping anymore cause we basically just wanted to spend time together. So we thought of all the available options & we were pretty game for sentosa but all of us happened to be in jeans (!!!) so we figured we weren't in the right clothes. Plus it was too late to go to the zoo too. Then we almost wanted to go to the science centre. Lol. Somehow we talked about bowling so we decided to do that! But before that we walked over to paragon cause Ling & Cassie wanted to get bed sheets & stuff for college. Walked around with Kara & Su while they chose their sheets & when we went back they still weren't done.

Ling & Cassie ended up getting the same sheet which is really cute. I think Mum got it for me too so Ling was saying that it'd be cool if the 3 of us used it at the same time since Cassie's in texas, Ling in london & me in singapore. Haha. Then the 6 of us- Cassie, Ling, Kara, Me, Su & Jing took the MRT to Marina Square since Kara & Cassie were really hyped about the subway since they don't have it in Texas. I never knew that they only had subways in New York & not other parts of the states. Bowled for one game which was really cool cause we were all laughing so hard & Cassie & Su tied for the best score in the end, followed by me then Kara. Ling was the worst. Haha it was fun though :D By the time we finished, Mum & Aunty Sheila were done with their shopping so they came to pick us up.

Went for dinner at Holland V & we ordered too much food. After that, Aunty Germaine & Aunty Eileen came to meet us then we went for karaoke. Leon joined us after a while & we had so much fun singing. Kara & I kept singing all these funny songs and we were singing all the old BSB songs & Cassie & Ling were like "whattttt?! ". Haha. Then we wanted to sing all these daft songs & we did. Cassie & Ling sounded really good together. Omg & Kara and Aunty Germaine sang fly me to the moon & when they played that song everyone just started laughing so hard it was really funny. We took alot of pictures too & one was of Kara, Aunty Germaine & I laughing so hard. It was a really pretty picture though cause it really captured the happiness. Leon was really funny cause he kept making all these noises and comments. Omg it was the funniest when he kept doing this literal translation for the 1 of the chinese songs Aunty Sheila sang. We cracked up laughing so hard & after a while he got everyone laughing.

Went down to Holland V again today to meet them. Waited for Aunty Sheila to get her cheongsam & Cassie ended up getting this black one which she looked really gorgeous in. Mum got this really pretty top. Then as we were leaving, Mum's shoe collapsed so she had to get a new one. And all of us ended up spending like 45 mins in there cause most of us ended up getting shoes cause they were so pretty. We practically took up the whole shop since there were 11 of us. I got a pair too :D Walked around & went to get some magazines after that. Then we went to visit Leon at the clinic cause he went for some health check. Then Cassie, Kara, Me, Su & Jing walked back to the house while the adults went off to somewhere.

Watched school of rock which was pretty funny & good (: Kara showed me her friends online which was cool. Then Mum came to pick us up & we sent Su for tennis. Didn't join them for dinner cause Tony's coming back today so they've got to pick him from the airport. Probably meeting up again tomorrow & Kara might spend the night :D Can't wait.

You know it's funny how just being in the company of others make you so happy. I am going to miss Kara so much because when I'm with Kara, I feel so at ease & I can tell her anything & everything cause she gives good advice. I think I'm gonna cry when they leave on wednesday but at least we get to send them off at the airport since it's a night flight. As for now, I shall just enjoy the company of my bff. Pictures will be posted soon. I'm pretty hooked on Myspace now cause it's pretty interesting. Something like friendster but a little nicer & it's a good way to talk to Kara online. Haha

2006-06-22T16:41:00.000-12:00

Yesterday was THIS much fun :D Went out with my family & Aunty Sheila, Cassie, Kara & Aunty Germaine. Love them <3 I don't have time to update now cause I need to get changed & all as we're going to meet up with them again (: Will try to update when I have more time. Hope you guys are having a great time too :D

We Could Fly So High
Let Our Spirits Never Die
In My Heart
I Feel You Are All
My Brothers
Create A World
WithNo Fear
Together We'll CryHappy Tears
See The Nations Turn
Their Swords Into Plowshares

Haha omg Kara, Cassie, Ling & I are so into the turn their swords into plowshares. HAHAHA.

2006-06-19T15:54:00.000-12:00

Yesterday was good (: Met up with the 2 of them at coffee bean & we talked for an hour plus which was really good :D I like listening to people's stories. Hahaha. Then I waited for Mum & Ling to come to Parkway & they took ages. So I roamed around on my own, in an attempt to spend some quality time with myself. HA HA HA. So I ended up getting a hair brush (hahaha), sweets & a christian CD from Life. They finally arrived then we went to get my shoes fixed cause they're so slippery! But now they're all fine & dandy :D Yay.

Then we went to Price Breakers & we were there for almost 45 mins I think. Omg. So Ling & Mum checked out the airfares to London in september while I just sat down & listened to them. Asked the guy about airfares to London in Nov & he said it'll probably be the same price. So I messaged Shar & that nut would rather take SIA than Quantas/BA cause they have Nintendo games. Omg what a retard. Hahaha. Plus, SIA is $500 more expensive & QA has movies and all too! So I convinced her because it's definitely wiser to use the $500 to do shopping in London than spending it on an airfare. Heh :D

Went to G2000 cause Mum had some birthday voucher to use. So they bought alot of clothes & Ling got a few jackets for London. I got this really pretty skirt & a shirt there. So we thought that we had to spend 500 to use the voucher to get 50% off & we felt so accomplished when we went to pay. But then the lady said that you're supposed to spend $1000 to use it. So we started to get more clothes. Haha but we had like 300 left to use so Mum's going to ask my godbrothers since they're already working & would probably need new clothes for work. So they reserved the clothes for us.. Then we went for lunch cause we were starving. Omg we had such an interesting conversation at lunch- the topic about clubbing & why people even think it's cool. I don't see the fun & whatever excitement in clubbing and I don't think it's cool at all. Me & Ling have decided that we'll go to a jazz lounge in a hotel when I turn 18 which is way more sophisticated & classy than clubs. Hahaha :D

Then we went to collect Ling's jeans from Levis. I am just not a fan of Levis for some reason. I just think that the prices don't justify the quality & cut. And I don't even think the designs are unique. But that's my opinion. I'm still looking for another pair of jeans & I guess I'll go back to Benetton cause I love the fit and material. So we decided to go shoe shopping. Yes I know, who would have thought you could get shoes from Parkway! But yes we did (:

Went to Novo & spent ages there trying on all the shoes. We ended up getting 8 pairs of shoes amongst the 3 of us. Hahaha. And Mum got a handbag. There was a really really pretty pair of heels but they were way too high. Ling was so happy cause they were showing Mr Bean in Novo. Went to pick up some groceries after that. Omg Ling is such a bimbo that it's quite embarassing sometimes. Hahaha but nonetheless, I love shopping with my Mum & Ling :D I really enjoy spending time with my sisters & parents & I love my family.

I have this sore throat & it hurts pretty bad. I've been drinking so many glasses of water but it doesn't seem to help. Su called me crazy cause I drank a glass of honey & lemon, pei pa gao, water & salt water for breakfast yesterday. Haha. And now I keep rushing to the toilet cause my bladder's so full. I just had math tuition so I'm going to have my lunch now :D Probably going into Sentosa with Cassie & Kara tomorrow (:

1. h is for hwee - my great sister who makes funny faces when she's standing outside the car, praises my piano playing even when i make mistakes, talks about homework in her sleep and buys expensive birthday presents. hint hint. haha...

Hahaha this is from Ling's blog where she had to do a quiz on things that start with H. But just to clarify, I do not make funny faces when I stand outside the car. Haha what a liar. However, the other points are absolutely correct. Esp the presents cause I am generous :D Heh ;) And I don't really talk about homework in my sleep, I just tend to sleeptalk every night. Hahaha. Okay, I think I'll do some baking today. Brownies & Apple crumble pie. Mmmmhm

Love,
Hwee

2006-06-18T00:31:00.000-12:00

The Leamans & Lees- Mum & Aunty Sheila

Cassie & Ling

Kara & Hwee

Cassie & Ling. Omg Cassie is so pretty

Cassie, Jing & Kara at lunch

Kara & Me. BFFAE

Stef came over last night for dinner & we ordered Macs & KFC. Stef's so greedy... This is what happened...

I asked Stef if she wanted Macs or KFC & she said everything. HAHA! She kept denying it & said she said anything but I so heard everything. I couldn't stop laughing over the phone & I think the lady taking our orders thought I was weird or something. I was laughing so hard so I had to pass the phone over to Stef in the end.

Then we watched Cry Wolf & I was pretty scared cause no one was home except for me. All my sisters & Mum & my maid were out. So we were watching & eating and Stef had to leave around 9. Omg she abandoned me. So I lent her some of our videos since we have so many that we don't even watch. So I was all alone at home :/ I was trying so hard not to think about the movie. Hahaha. So I came online to distract myself. Then Shar came around 9 plus to change the shoes & she passed me the top she got for me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It is so me. Hahaha :D Thanks a mil shar. Then my maid came back around 10 so I was saved. Hahahaha.

Church was good today. I really enjoy Matthew O'Meara's sermons cause they're very accurate. Today's songs were awesome & there was communion. I love Come & See. Hahaha. Then Rev Mervyn was asking whose leaving for NS or going overseas for college. So Ling went up & she was the only one for some reason. Hahaha no one else went up. So Mum had to go up to & omg Mervyn thought Mum was a student too. HAHAHA. Mum was grinning away after that cause everyone kept teasing her. So the whole church prayed for Ling which was kinda cool.

Stayed back after that to talk to Aunty Judy & family. They're going to Angkor Wat this Tuesday which is cool. Passed Matt his bottle & he gave me a hug. So cute :D Then Uncle John was so funny cause he was helping us in persuading Mum to book a night at Sentosa. Ling tried to drive Mum's car after that around the hill near church & we were all screaming away. Lol. Then we went for lunch at some japanese restaurant in taka. Bought some stuff & I went to get my eyebrows plucked. Okay it wasn't as bad & painful as expected. The lady was quite gentle in fact. I listened to my ipod cause Kara said it'd help distract me. Hahahaha. Okay, Kara & all get back tonight. Yay :D

Till then

that's all

2006-06-16T16:01:00.000-12:00

Sharlene came over yesterday & we had lunch, watched Cheaper by the dozen 2, went out to Siglap Centre to get stuff & then came back to bake, have dinner & watch The Notebook. I have watched Cheaper by the dozen 2 like 3-4 times already but I still think it's so funny. Hahahaha ;) Steve Martin totally cracks me up. And The Notebook is sooooo sweet. Omg omg seriously. And Ryan Gosling is cute but I think he looks better when he's shaved but Shar prefers him with the beard thing. Heh. Then we (Su, Shar & me) went to Siglap to get stuff from Cold Storage & in the end we only filled our trolley up with 2 items. HAHA. We were busy taking photos with the trolley especially Su & Shar. Then we went to have dessert & we started talking about the past which was so funny. Omgggg. Hahahaha. Anyway shar, how's your POPULAR gang ;) HAHAHAHA. That was funny. And the "only shar & hwee can take the racket from my bag" thing.

So I wanted to get my nails done at the nail bar but we had to wait for 1 and a half hours so we sat at the dessert place and talked. Then I went to get my nails done while Shar & Su were nice enough to wait for 1 hour plus sitting inside, reading the magazines. I got a french shape & paint for my fingernails and dark red toenails. It wasn't as dark as I wanted it to be but it's quite okay :D Then we had to let my nails dry so Shar & Su started taking photos again. Haha my camera has so many pictures of them now :/

I can't get I write sins not tragedies out of my head. I never thought I'd actually like a Panic! at the disco song but I have got to admit that this one's good & addictive cause Kara & I kept listening to it that day. Haha can't wait for next week :D I do feel guilty though, cause I didn't get much studying done this holiday. Oh well, I'll have to work doubly hard when school reopens. But for now, I shall enjoy myself cause it'll probably be the only time I can really relax before the stress & work starts to pile.

2006-06-15T13:35:00.000-12:00

Morning people :D It's 9.36 AM on a Friday morning & I am loving it because I'm feeling refreshed for some reason. Actually, I haven't had the chance to sleep in for the entire holiday. And when I say sleep in, I really mean sleep in. Haha as in till 11 or 12 plus. But then again, no complaints since I've been enjoying myself so much so it makes up for the lack of sleep. Okay there's really no lack of sleep since I've been sleeping at least 8 hours everyday. Hahaha I am just typing out nonsense here.

So while I wait for Sharlene to arrive at my place for some baking, movies, sun-tanning, gossiping & the usual nonsensical stuff, I shall update you people on what's been going on in my life so far! Do read on if you happen to be interested in my life (which I think is very exciting. hahaha). If not, just bear with me for a while :D

Okay, before I forget, let me tell everyone! PLEASE get Myspace! I think it's better than Friendster. Hahaha I've only started mine yesterday after much persuasion from Kara so I can talk to her online in the future. But yeah it's cool. Like celebs and all these people have Myspace too :D

So now... On Tuesday, we met up with Aunty Sheila, Cassie & Kara for the first time in 2 years. Omg yes omg omg omg omg. Okay, you guys probably have no idea how excited I was, except for Rachel. Hahaha, You know, it's just that feeling of excitement of meeting an old friend, a best friend at that (: , wondering if she's changed, wondering if the friendship's changed & wondering if you'd be able to talk about the same stuff. But let me tell you, I am SO SO SO glad & relieved that NOTHING has changed. Absolutely nothing. Kara has lost alot of weight & she's so toned. Haha not that she was fat before though. And her hair is really long now. Cassie's hair is cool cause she's got these multi highlights and she's still as pretty as ever. Aunty Sheila still looks so good for a 50+ year old. Haha seriously. I'll post some photos soon.

And so we went to Uncle Green's place (Aunty Sheila's brother) to sit for half an hour, listen to Aunty Sheila's never ending but very interesting stories & decide where we were going to. We decided to go to Parkway for a late lunch (3pm) since they were craving for local food. Lol. Then Ling had to go off around 4pm cause she had some dinner to attend so she needed to dress up & stuff. So the rest of us headed on to Citylink cause Aunty Sheila had to collect her shoes. Then they shopped and shopped. Okay, if you guys think that I shop way too much, then you haven't met Aunty Sheila & Cassie. Haha it's so funny cause they go into every shop & they come out with 1 or 2 items. And Cassie is so into bags she bought like 4 bags? Hahaha. Kara & I just roamed around, talked, laughed, filled each other in on what's been happening :D

Then we went to Raffles City cause Cassie wanted to go to Skin Food cause Ling told her about it. Soooo we went there & all of us ended up getting stuff. Hahaha. They got eyeliner, nail polish etc etc. And Kara painted her nails in the shop using the samples. Hahaha it was so funny. Then we went to get fried mars bars and Kara fell in love with it so we went back to get more. Heh ;) Then we went off for dinner at Geylang for Beef noodles which was so very delicious but we had too much to eat. Then we were trying to look for ____ Hahahaha. And while the parents were getting durians, these 2 guys kept going in and out of this room which was like sealed. So Kara, Cassie, Su & I were so curious cause we wanted to know what was inside. Heh.

Wednesday- Had the usual dentist appointment in the morning & Dr Leong adjusted my retainers. Went to pick Kara & Cassie & Aunty Sheila up. Went to Bugis for lunch at some Macau Crystal Jade place then we went shopping & we also went to Bugis Village. Once again, everyone shopped and shopped & Cassie got more bags and Kara got a few tops. Haha. I got a skirt & shoes & this bracelet from Accessorize :D I had SO MUCH fun with them I can't wait for next week cause we're probably going to Sentosa to spend the night (: They're in Koh Samui now & will be back on Sunday.

Anyway, I don't know hopw to explain the feeling of meeting a close friend whom you haven't seen for 2 years. It's like as if you're meeting her for the very 1st time and yet there's this feeling of familiarity that comforts you. At the same time, knowing that things haven't changed & the friendship still remains as strong before, if not even stronger then before makes you so glad & that feeling is so very special and comforting and indescribable.

Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like if our family had never known the Leaman family. Fate has brought us together because it's amazing how Mum and Aunty Sheila met- on the bridge in Hongkong cause Ling walked up to Cassie's pram and started playing with her. And Ling was only 2 years. How amazing is that? And I can't imagine not having Kara as a best friend because she is the most amazing, caring, loving, understanding person ever & I'm so glad that she's not changed one bit and that even though they've been schooled in the states, their family morales are still very similar to our family's :D This is what I call true friendship. And Kara & I are still very much alike cause Aunty Sheila was pointing out all our similarities-dressing, personality, shopping style etc etc.

And to my other friends out there- Vivien, Rachel, Lisze etc etc thank you so much for being there for me & for being my friend. Hahaha okay that sounded funny but anyway, you guys mean so much to me & the 4 of us have got to meet up soon. I've only seen Rachel quite often this holiday!

Viv, if you're reading this, CALL ME :D I miss you laaaa! Haha ;)

Went with my parents to collect the new car yesterday. After 15 years of using 4 Honda cars, we've finally gotten the Toyata Picnic. Hahaha. My parents are very loyal people because when they use something they like, they stick with it for ages. Just like how my Mum drove 3 mini coopers & 1 volvo before coming back to live in Singapore. Then when they arrived, it's been Honda all the way. Till then :D

2006-06-12T00:45:00.000-12:00

I haven't been online in the longest time ever! What an achievement :D Anyway, it's not that I've been buried in my books or homework. It's just that I've been watching tv, reading magazines (yay) & baking over the past few days. Thus, I was exceptionally lazy to come online. What's new? Haha. And besides, not many interesting people were online so... I cooked dinner for the family today which was quite good :D Except that I put in too much salt. Haha. Then I made toffee bananas which were a success! I made this sticky toffee pudding the other day & I thought it turned out well. Lol. Maybe I should seriously consider going to a culinery school in the near future (:

I LOVE COOKING & BAKING.

Okay, went over to rach's place today to study & finish off some homework which was fun :D Watched the videos of Nadal's interview online & it was funny. " HHHHH" Anyway, rachel has morphed into another lisze because she is equally obsessed with Federer & Nadal. Hmmmm. Like yesterday night during the finals, she couldn't decide who she wanted to win. And she wanted it to be a 5 set match while I didn't cause all I wanted to do was finish watching the match & go to bed. Mwahahaha. I think Rach is becoming pschizo. But anyway, she's going to bangkok tomorrow & I believe that she'll be kind enough to get me my slippers :D Hehe. Spread the love for me to the thais Rachel ;)

And just to clarify in case Rachel starts spouting nonsense, I was NOT oggling at Federer's stomach hair. HAHAHA. They just happened to show him wiping his face & you could see the hair on his stomach which was so gross. Lol. There was seriously alot & I wasn't the only one who noticed it! My Mum & Su also noticed it! Heh. At least I don't go round staring at Nadal's butt unlike rachel.

Now now. I cannot begin to explain how EXCITED I am over tomorrow. Aunty Sheila called my handphone today & I was so excited when I heard her voice. Hahaha. So we're probably meeting them tomorrow for a few hours just to catch up. Then.... On Wednesday we're going out shopping & probably going to have lunch and do the usual fun stuff (: I am excited, nervous & happy all at the same time! Meeting up with them after 2 years :D Aunty Sheila still sounds the exact same though. Okay, I shall watch some tv now (:

Love,
Hwee

2006-06-07T19:13:00.000-12:00

First & foremost, Happy Birthday Mum :D Here's going out to the Mum who constantly tells the 4 of us to do our best, tries her best to encourage us whenever we fail, talks to us whenever we're down, understands us the most, sees the best in us & tries to be the best Mum ever. There are no words to describe how fortuanate I am to have such a wonderful & loving Mum except for I love you Mum (: I am ever so grateful for the close relationship we have because not many teens nowadays can tell their Mum everything, expose the deepest secrets & trust in their Mums. My Mum is probably my best friend & the only person I completely trust and I have so much to thank her for.

And now, an advance Happy Birthday to Ling Jie (10th June) ! The older sister whom we all respect & look up to. And of course, we're all a little scared of you cause you are so snappy sometimes! Hahaha. But nonetheless, you have done all of us proud with your studies, your faith in God & your commitment to church etc etc. Sometimes I feel like the older sister though, because you're still a kid at heart- the love for Disney Princesses (OMG) , cartoons, stickers (HAHAHA) whereas I have already gone past that stage. Hahaha kidding ;) But despite all that, you're probably one of the smartest people I know. You never fail to amuse us with all your stupid ideas & how bimbotic you can't be " Is this fish or chicken" ?? & the times during the earthquake tremors when we were rushing out of the house & you actually said " I don't know which pair of shoes to wear" Hahaha.

You constantly tell me that I spend too much $$ and try to make me feel guilty all the time. But I suppose, that is sisterly love huh ;) I have alot of respect for you & you'll always be my big sister deep inside (even though I'm bigger than you). Hahaha. And now that this will be your last birthday here before you go off to college in London, here's from your dearest little sister to you! We'll definitely miss your wonderful singing & hearing you play the piano at 1am when you can't get to sleep. So take good care of yourself when you go to London & I'll love you even more if you get me the latest clothes & wallets from Next. Okay I'm just kidding! So expect a visit from me at the end of the year :D

This week has been a relatively good week because:

Dad's back from Shanghai
We've got 2 family birthdays this week!
Kara, Cassie & Aunty Sheila arrived today. Omg omg omg. Not meeting them yet cause they need to get over jet lag but yay!
Last week of supplementary lessons!

However, the guilt is starting to creep in as I've not studied the entire holidays. Okay, I'm going to start over the weekend. Going to bake some chocolate puddings now ;)

(:

2006-06-05T02:49:00.000-12:00

Yesterday was awesome!!!! Church was wonderful as usual but more so because my sister, Ling played the piano for service!! Hahaha kidding :D Okay I'm just being biased here. But I did think that she did do an excellent job despite her thinking that she'd make alot of mistakes & play the wrong notes & keys. Well yesterday was Family Sunday which we have once a year. So basically, the kids join the adults for the whole church service & sit in for the sermon. Of course, the sermon's also targetted to the little kids. So yesterday the sermon was by Reverend Mervyn Moore & Matthew O' Meara. If you realise, both their initials are like MM which is pretty cute. My Mum & Ling think that I'm weird to actually realise such details. But this is what I call observant :D

The sermon was different from usual & the first half was done by Matthew. Basically it was a story about the rainbow & etc and there was this kid which kept saying that blue, green, red, yellow were the colours of watermelons & everyone just cracked up laughing. Then the 2nd part was done my Rev Mervyn & it was more for the teens & adults. The songs were slightly different as they were meant for the kids so there was alot of jumping about & dancing and clapping of hands (: Church was also not as packed as usual cause most of the member who are expatriates have gone back to their hometowns for their summer vacation so they'll only be back in September since international schools have 2-3 months of holidays.

Went to Angus steak house for lunch after that with my family & aunt. Ling loves Angus so much that she claims she can eat it every week without being sick of it. The staff there are really nice though cause we go there quite often so they treat us well :D Hehehe. Then we walked around for a while & got some shopping done.

There was school again today and we had the physics practical mock test which was tricky & confusing. Hahaha. Was supposed to go shopping after school with Mum & Ling but the place was closed so we're going tomorrow after school, I think. So we ended up going to Queensway in the end with Aunty Rokiah, Sarah Leele & Maria. Got a pair of tennis shorts & a top. They still do not carry my size for the mint green nike tennis shoes. Arggggghhhhh. I've been looking all over for it but I've not been able to find it yet :( Then we came back & I went to Rach's for tennis. Hahaha omg I couldn't stop laughing at the Marc YACOB thing she told me about.

Rachel, hope you're feeling better now & try not to think about Milo okay? Though I might not be able to understand how you really feel, do know that I'm here :D

2006-06-02T20:53:00.000-12:00

Sharlene is such a retard. Hahaha seriously. She & Rachel can vie for the title of " Hwee's weirdest friend" . I think Rachel might win cause she's crazier but at times, Shar just surprises me by her sense of humour or the lack of it ;) Hahaha.

Just look at this convo we had...

all goes out the window says:

Okay, I can't wait cause Shar says her Mum will allow her to go to London with me if she does well for Promos. Okay, let's all study hard :D It'll be so much fun!

team dinner 06 :D

2006-06-02T17:23:00.000-12:00

All the pictures have been put up on my image station & I've linked it up- it's under my pictures link. So if you'd like to view the pictures, ask me for the password first cause I've put it under private (:

Team dinner last night was great fun! Shaofang, Gourie, Rach & I were supposed to go to PS to watch She's the man around 4 so I rushed back from school since I had amath remedial (for half an hour) & took a shower and got changed. Time was running out so I had to call a cab & then I went to pick Rachel up. As we were in the cab, I had this gut feeling that the tickets were going to be sold out! I told Rachel & she ignored me :( Hahaha. Then as we were on the expressway, Gourie called & said that there were only 2 tickets left!!! Omgggg. Hahahaha so I told Rachel that my premonition was right. I have this feeling that I am psychic ;) Then we decided to meet Gourie & SF at Suntec. So we walked around while waiting & Rach kept hurrying me cause she didn't want poor ol' Gourie to be waiting for us! But of course, I took my own sweet time since we weren't really in a rush & it was to get back and Gourie for making us rush down & waste $3 on the cab booking fee!!! Mwahaha just kidding Gourie ;)

Anyway, the both of us ended up reaching there earlier than Gourie & Shaofang. I was so tempted to grab Gourie by her hair and neck & swing her around. Hahahaha. This Gourie la, said no one would book in advance. Okay okay, no hard feelings yeah disco queen ;) HAHA. So we were bored and had 2 hours to kill. We had yami yoghurt then we were feeling lazy so we went to KFC to sit. Hahaha. The 4 of us shared a pathetic box of popcorn chicken since we didn't want to spoil our appetite. I was laughing at one point in time & I stepped on Gourie's foot. Yay go me! :D

And then..... we gossiped :D :D Hahaha we talked and talked & gossiped and gossiped & laughed which was alot of fun. Then we played that continuous game thing & merged it with truth or dare. So Gourie had to expose her secret... Haha not really actually. And when it came to my turn, I switched the game! Mwahahaha :D After yesterday, I realised that Gourie enjoys eating her hair & I caught her in action quite a few times. Lol. Then we went to the kids section & shaofang got her fan. I saw this cute bottle so I got it for Matt :D And Gourie, being the weirdo she is, bought a slinky coil. Hahaha.

After that, we went to Surf & Turf to meet Viv. So we went in then Steffi came. We ordered our food which was quite good & talked and took photos etc. Lisze came so late cause she had her trials but we waited for her.

There were 2 couples next to us & they kept staring and glaring at us. At first I thought I was the only one who realised it until I asked Viv & she felt it too. Then everyone also realised it. So we tried to stare back at them. Hahaha. We talked about school etc etc & poor Shaofang could never complete her sentences cause Gourie kept interrupting her. Tsk. Then when shaofang had the chance to speak, she was chewing her food. So I was like " Okay so while she eats.. Anyway....." Hahaha it was funny.

Then all of a sudden, they were passing some messages & Gourie was telling me that "Lisze would blah blah". I was totally confused and lost. Then after that they Viv was like, here's to our friendship & we must meet up every year even after we graduate, cheers. So I drank my cup of water & OMG it was gross. So I spat everything back inside. Hahahahaha they were laughing at me. Evil people. It took me quite some time before I managed to get them to tell me what was inside. There was pepper & salt and I think that's all. Eeew it was so murky but Shaofang said it was cause of my saliva after I spat it back in the cup. Lol.

Then Viv wanted to get her stuff from Centrepoint but we figured it was going to close so we ended up going to Marina Square. Shaofang left to meet her parents then they were walking so fast. Hahaha. Lisze thought it was very funny when I said we could go through City Link & link all the way. Okayyyy Lisze ;) HA. Then we went to Zara, Topshop, Miss Selfridge etc but no one got anything. I didn't see anything I really liked and besides I realised that I have more than enough clothes now. So all I got was a bangle which was quite a steal cause there was some discount. Then we took alot of pictures at the arena & kept asking Gourie & Steffi to turn on their charms to get people's help. Haha.

And... there was this little house thingy & I tripped on it & everyone was looking and laughing. I was completely mortified & Rachel immediately ran out cause she was too embarassed to take the photo with me & the others. Thanks a lot Rach. Grrrrrrr. Hahaha ;) Then we split up & me & Rach were supposed to take a cab home but she was scared. So her dad came and sent us home (: All in all, I had alot of fun :D

Okay, I'm going to have my lunch & study since I haven't started at all.

2006-05-31T22:39:00.000-12:00

Went in for lessons today for like 5 periods. I thought there wasn't Amath so I didn't bring my book but I ended up sharing with Vera which was fun cause I told her stories of the shopping trip with Rach & then other stories... ;) Ha. I can't believe there's a day next week where I only go in for 2 hours cause it's quite silly. Haha

Lit was super funny cause Stef & I were talking about Singapore Idol and then I said that I liked Levin & Stef was like OMG OMG OMG. Hahaha & she likes him too :D Then we were talking and talking when I said that Joakim Gomez is the cutest though & she started laughing cause she was like " omg i wanted to say that and you said it"! Heh then we laughed and laughed. So after a while, we were chanting his name & I was like "Joakim" & she said "Gomez". Haha it was really funny. Finally, Stef & I can agree on something cause we always have different tastes.

But Singapore Idol last night was quite entertaining. Although our standards are nothing compared to AI, at least they have the guts to perform so I shan't comment further. Paul Twohill is so funny & he can sing pretty well. He reminds me SO SO SO much of Ben. Even Mum, Ling & Su all agree. I suppose it's the hair even though Ben's isn't as long & cause both are eurasian. And both are equally funny & lame. Hahaha the only difference is that Ben has an English accent.

Since Su wants me to talk about her in my entry... Su, don't feel so down about losing the match cause everyone has to lose once in a while. Losing will help you to improve your game & we all know you've done your best & you're playing really well now :D Am I a sweet sister or what?! Haha and yes I have to admit that Boston is nice & yes, I won't send it out ;)

Going out for the team dinner tomorrow at suntec & probably going for a movie before that :D My eyes are so dry and tired now so I'm going to take a rest & get back to chem homework cause I've got tennis with Viv in an hours time (: Bye!

2006-05-29T22:44:00.000-12:00

Shopping today with Rachel was alot of fun but tiring. But nonetheless, it was a successful shopping trip. I promise not to shop again this holiday cause I should start studying soon so there won't be much time left for shopping :D Heh. But I am kinda plagued with guilt after buying so many things today. I think Rachel has brainwashed me already. Lol. Our purpose of shopping today was actually to get Gourie's birthday present, but I ended up getting most of the things. Hahahaha. But no worries cause we eventually got Gourie's present. And Gourie (if you're reading this), me & Rach saw so many disco things you would like and we were so tempted to buy them for you. HAHA

We started off with Raffles City & went to check out Aldo. But nooo, they didn't have the necklace I wanted. So we went to City Link & walked around & I got a pair of silver sandals that somewhat look like espadrilles from Gallaz. I love them :D Then we walked for a while more & Rachel kept going on about how hungry she was. So being the nice friend I am, I asked if she wanted to eat. And what did I get in return?! She called me a pig. Omgggg that ingrate!!. Hahaha. So we went to 7 eleven & she couldn't decide what to get till I told her that we could eat at Suntec. My, I am such good influence on Rach. Hehe (: But we each got a stick of beef jerky which Rach initially didn't want until I offered to pay for it. What a cheapo ;) Then I got a ring & aviators :D Rachel wanted to get this necklace or bracelet that wasn't that nice and it wasn't that reasonable either so I knocked some sense into her and told her not to get it. What would Rachel do without a friend like me? Hahaha I'm kidding.

Then we went to Suntec & I got a necklace from Topshop that was really nice. Then they had another branch of Aldo so we went in. And lo and behold, they had the necklace I was looking for!!! But the gold one was out of stock so I settled for the silver one since Rach said it was nice too :D Walked around and then we went to Ben & Jerrys to get ice cream. Okay, I officially declare that I much prefer Haagen Dazs to Ben & Jerrys. But the best is still Island Creamery. Hahaha. Then we both felt like eating twister fries so we went to get them. Hahahahaha that pig. So we decided to walk over to Millenia but there wasn't anything there. And we still had time so we went over to Marina Square.

Rachel was thirsty so we went to get a drink. And she payed for my drink! Hahaha this is definitely a day to remember cause I've never known Rachel to be so generous :D Mwahaha but thanks (: Went to Zara & got a top there. And Vera, we saw so many football things & there was this nice football top at Zara which I wanted to get for you but Rachel said it was stupid just cause it's a mens shirt. Hahaha see how mean your friend is?! Rachel kept asking me to calculate how much I had spent which is really part of her tactic to make me feel guilty. Went to Mothercare to look for clothes for Mr Ang & Annabelle's baby and we managed to get a really cute suit for him. But we kept arguing over what size to get cause Rachel thinks that it makes more sense to get a bigger size even if he's drowning in it so he can wear it for a longer period of time. Hahahaha total nonsense.

Then we went to Ripcurl & Rachel has got to be the MOST indecisive shopper ever. She took 15/20 minutes just to decide between a black or pink wallet. Omg I would have strangled her if she didn't get it in the end. I told her to get the pink one cause it was nicer but she said it would get dirty. Then I told her that the black one wasn't as nice so she spent 15/20 minutes deciding which one was nicer and better. I used up so much of my energy trying to convince her that the pink one was better that I was so tired after we stepped out of the shop. Hahaha. And for a moment, she wasn't sure if she wanted it anymore. I could really feel my blood pressure increasing man. Hahaha

Then we walked back to Millenia to get a ride from her Mum & now I am home :D And we went to New York Metropolitan Museum twice today- once at Raffles City & once at Suntec. I love love love the jewellery there but if only it was more affordable. I love the charmbracelets there, especially the one with all the coins & the other one with the destinations. But it was like $385 :( And they had this pair of beautiful earrings which cost $220 and I wanted to get that for my Mum's birthday but I'm not sure if Ling will share it with me cause if she doesn't, then it's gonna be a big hole in my pocket. But I know my mum will love it cause it is just so her. And I have to get Ling & Mum's birthday presents by next week and I don't know what to get for them.

On to yesterday's O level chinese paper... I found it exceptionally hard (what's new?) but quite a few people found it easy :/ The worst thing is that my maths tutor told me today that all his students found it so easy. That totally helps you know, making me feel stupid. Argh. Especially paper 2 cause I had no idea what they were talking about. But no use being paranoid now since it's over. I shall just have to wait for the results to come out & if I do fail, then I have no choice but to retake it at the end of the year :( Of course I'm hoping that the marker somehow likes my compo (which was quite silly) & gives me a good grade. Or maybe I'll get sympathy marks cause the marker will realise from my compo that I am hopeless in Chinese. I think I got sympathy marks in our mid year oral cause my answer was stupid. But if getting sympathy marks works, then I'm fine with that :D Heh.

Went grocery shopping with Mum after that & then came back for a while before going out to Ikea. Omgggg we spent 5 hours there cause we had dinner there. Didn't get much except for a few things here and there. But they didn't have the cork board :/

Okay, now I'm going to plan out my study schedule for the holidays & I hope I won't get too distracted. I am going to stay off the computer till this weekend so I'll update again over the weekend. Can't wait for the team dinner on Friday :D Till then...

Love,
Hwee.

2006-05-28T01:52:00.000-12:00

Lord you have my heart
And I will search for yours
Jesus take my life and lead me on

Lord you have my heart
And I will search for yours
Let me be to you a sacrifice

I'm in quite a dilemma now because I have no idea what to choose
:( Aaahhh it's either this or that & I know both would be fun and enriching but I can't decide. Okay, basically my problem is whether to go to London for a holiday after my Os or not. Technically, I'm supposed to get 10 points for my prelims before my Mum allows me to go off. But I think that being the wonderful Mum she is, she has somewhat decided that she'll allow me to even if I don't get 10 points. But I still want to get 10 points. I'm sidetracking now...

So if I do go, it would be stupid to go there for a week because flying there and back takes up more than a day! So... It would be wise to stay there for 2 weeks & my mum thinks that 2 weeks isn't enough. Haha. Plus, if I do go, I'll be coming back with Ling & her school term ends on the 15th & she has already planned to leave on the 15th. I can't believe she's got it all planned out already! So that means that I would have to leave Singapore by the end of November which also means that I won't be able to play the last age group of the year :( I'll probably have to stay with my aunt for a week & try to sneak into Ling's hostel and bunk in with her. Hahaha. Or maybe I shall just check myself into a quaint little B&B inn in the countryside and go sightseeing. Hahaha yeah right. I would never do that because I am a city girl at heart :D Anybody interested in joining me on my little journey so that I have company? If not I'd be a poor lonely soul. Hahaha I know Vera wants to. Let me tempt you Vera... Little Britain stuff, cute English Guys, shopping (!!!), the nice weather, musicals, SHOES, a gazillion vintage shops! That should be enough cause if that doesn't tempt you, I don't know what will!

I have planned to spend at least 2 days on Oxford street & Knightsbridge where I will be totally engrossed in shopping. Then a few days for museums & usual stuff. I am such a dreamer. Heh ;) And does anybody have any idea when prom is cause I hope it won't be too late or it'll clash with all my plans!! And yesterday my Mum tried to convince me to skip prom so I can go to London.

Okay, am I thinking too far ahead or what?!?!?! Hahaha the prelims aren't even here, let alone the Os. But this is what I call early planning cause if I do decide to go I need to book the flight soon so I can get good tickets. I am so excited :D Chinese O levels tomorrow so here's wishing everyone the best of luck (: I have set a goal of B4 for myself & we'll see how the paper goes tomorrow and then I might have some changes as to the goal.

Ling called last night from Taiwan & apparently she's not having that much fun. Mwahaha! She says they spent 7 hours on the coach. Hahaha that's totally insane. And it's her first time travelling with a tour group cause we always travel free & easy. But at least she has the company of her friends. I told her right from the start to travel free & easy, but no she didn't listen to me. No one ever listens to my advice when I try my best to help others! And now.... Hahaha :D Plus we were like, why Taiwan of all places?! Hahaha. Okay, I need to get some sleep now so I'll be ready for the exam tomorrow! :D

2006-05-27T02:01:00.000-12:00

Just a little while longer I wanna pray
Can't get You off my mind so I came to say
Thank You Lord, just for loving me, alright
Many times I do forget
Every need that You have met
Oh thank You Lord, I know You're showing me
You are there when I am down and out
You're holding me, Your love is so amazing
Oh it changed me

Here I am with all I have
Raise my hands to worship
YouI wanna say thank you, oh thank you
For everything, for who You are
You cover me, You touch my heart
I wanna say thank you

I love this song & I love The Katinas even though Rachel says they put her to sleep. Whatever Rach ;) Haha. I think sometimes we tend to overlook things & forget that our Lord is always there for us, through good times & bad. Yet, there are times when we only think about how things have failed & stuff. I know I'm guilty of this sometimes & it's bad cause no matter what, He's always watching over us & guiding us along. I can't wait for church tomorrow. I'm the only one at home cause Su's gone to stayover at Diane's and Jing's at Hannah's. Then Ling's in Taiwan so it's just me & mum tonight so I'm going to sleep in her room.

Me grinning away with a pack of biscuits (haha) & Su.

Me & Ling in London

Su & Me on my 8th/9th birthday. The shirt I'm wearing used to be my favourite t shirt :D Haha

Primary school best friends :D

Family & friends (:

My best friends (: Love you guys.

When I first started school at St Hildas'.

Ling & me ages ago

Some time in 2004. For those who have never seen my dad, there he is! The Lee girls & Daddy (:

Jing & Me a few days back

If all of you look carefully, I still smile that same way with the small eyes :D Haha Viv is always telling me how I smile in that same way, but see! This is proof that I've been like that since young :D And isn't jing a carbon copy of me? Haha.

Today was the last day of school & it was pretty boring. Though during Amath me & Vera were talking about clothes. Haha now that's our favourite topic. Clothes & fashion. And omg Vera is such a silly girl, peep toe ;) HAHA. Operation clean up was so tiring & disgusting. My fingers were getting all wrinkly from the water. So I just sat down & scrubbed my own table. And I was saying that I felt like Cinderella & I guess it was pretty loud and then those around me started laughing. Hahaha. Chinese remedial was..... Haha. And then Mum came to pick me up & we went to Parkway for a short while to get Nicola's watch repaired and her ring fixed cause it's way more costly in London. Then I got a Diesel watch from Mum & I love it. The Calvin Klein one I saw was nice but way too big. And the DKNY was average. It's my very early birthday present. Haha like 3 months advance.

2006-05-24T23:06:00.000-12:00

A moment of despair
That forces you to say that life's unfair
It makes you scared of what tomorrow may bring
But don't go giving into fear
Stop hiding all alone in there
The show keeps going on and on
But you'll miss the whole damn thing
I wish I had a crystal ball to see what the future holds
But we don't know how the story ends till it's all been told

Tomorrow's the last day of this term. But technically speaking, we still have another 2 weeks of extra classes. School was pretty interesting yesterday cause we had the career talks. Went for the one on events organising & banking with Gee. Then while waiting for the banking one to start we were talking to May & Josephine and we started talking about politics which was pretty interesting. Haha. We had chinese remedial after that was which quite a bore & then I went for CIP with the other tennis girls.

We were shelving books for like an hour then me & Gou went to the washroom and this librarian saw us and asked us to help her put up some stuff and create posters. Omg. Hahaha that was a pretty grave decision since I'm far from being artsy and creative. So me & Gou had to follow her about and finally she left us alone to use the computer to create posters which was tiring because we kept trying to get cool photos then we had some difficulties here in there. I was so sleepy so I got Gourie to take over while I listened to her stories and gossip. Haha Gourie is #1 gossip queen :D Then we finally completed 3 posters & went back to look for the rest. We saw stephanie tan & shaofang since Rach & Lisze were reading Tin Tin books. HAHAHAHA ;)

School was okay today. During amath we were pretty bored so Vera made me create a wishlist and stuff. Her wishlist is SO long and insane. Hahahaha. I seriously think that Miss Yeo hates me because it took her like 5 mins to realise that I had raised up my hand to ask a question. Even sooboon also realised it & now, me & Vera are convinced she doesn't quite like me :( Haha but I still think that Miss Yeo is funny and she's quite a good teacher. Then during assembly we had some performance thing & after that Mrs Lim spoke to us. I think she's really nice and sincere. Was supposed to have training with Uncle Wong but it was cancelled in the end due to the rain.

Okay, I have been enjoying myself alot the past few days & now I reckon that it's time to get back to studying. Ling went off to Taiwan with her friends today for a week of enjoyment and fun. Oh & Taylor won American Idol which is good because I didn't want Katharine to win. So then, goodbye :D

Love,
Hwee

2006-05-22T23:42:00.000-12:00

Our cute little quaint house in London.

My older sis, Ling

Papen & Mum at a pub having lunch

I love my Mum. Omg do you realise that my Mum's wearing a jacket & the man behind her is topless? Hahaha

At aunty pam's house. From left to right: Aunty pam's friend, Papen, Nicola, Aunty Pam, Mum & Ling. Omg Nicola is so pretty.

Of late, I have realised that alot of people are "emo" or so they claim. Hahaha it just annoys me so much you know. I know that Rachel understands what I'm talking about cause we both feel the same way! Haha. Seriously, I doubt that these "emo" people have such sad lives because it isn't possible. They just go around telling people that they are emo or they keep taking "emo" pictures. Hahaha what in the world is an emo picture anyway?! Omggg. Then there are those who blog about how emo they feel. Haha get over being "emo".

I got a hair cut yesterday at Reds so now it's neater and thinner. I kind of kept the length so I just got it layered and stuff. My frizzy hair is slowly returning to haunt me :( But nevermind, I shall accept the fact that I will always be frizzy-head-hwee. Haha :D Then after that we went to get my new camera (: The service at Harvey Norman is appalling cause they couldn't be bothered to serve us. Either cause me & my sister don't look important enough or because they are just plain lazy. So we went to Best Denki instead. I love this camera because of the old photo function! I'll post some photos another time.

Today I learnt that people can be extremely insensitive but whatever. Vivien, I know you are reading this. Hahaha you sneaky girl. But anyway, thanks for listening to me after school.

2006-05-20T22:13:00.000-12:00

I am going back to my Laguna Beach craze. I can't wait for LB Season 3 to come out. Saw the few snippets of it & it looks good, but of course not as good as season 1 since there is no Trey & Lo and LC. Did you guys realise that there are 3 Lauren's in LB? Haha. First there's LC- Lauren Conrad. Then there's Lo- Lauren Bosworth. And lastly, there's Alex H whose real name is Lauren Alexandria Hooser.

Friday was the ultimate!!! Went to Rach's house after school & had such a good time talking, laughing and doing homework! We ate quite alot & Rachel kept forcing me to pig out. Hahaha. Then we watched Drake & Josh and stuff. I wanted to sleep but that evil girl refused to let me and kept calling me a bum. Pfft. Stayed over in the end & we were up watching hilarious videos on Youtube. Omg we spent like 2-3 hours I think loading and watching the videos. We had like 4 windows open cause we loaded so many of them. Ahhh our favourite ones are the Geisha & Arnold one. But my personal favourite is the Geisha (HAHAHAHA!) and the Laguna Beach one. Jesssssca! Haha. Then we went to sleep but after a while Rachel started talking & telling me about her dream so we ended up talking about... I forgot. Hahaha! But it was super fun :D Rachel my fellow Yaminion makes good company ;) Aren't you HHHHHHonoured. Ha!

The weekend passed terribly fast. Saturday was a pretty long day but it wasn't too bad afterall because of the company. Speech day was quite a bore because we were just seated in the hall & all we did was talk and clap. Me & Vera kept ourselves entertained by talking about the super funny videos on Youtube & stuff. Then they had the awards given out then everybody went home.

Rushed home to get change & met Stef and Kerri at Stef's bus stop and we took a bus (ugh) to Wheelock place for lunch at NYDC. Haha. Me & Kerri were next to each other and stef was behind us. Then this fat lady sat next to her & fell asleep and she kept falling onto Stef. Omg it was so hilarious and me & Kerri couldn't stop laughing. Stef looked so pathetic and she was like "help hwee". Hahahaha! Lunch at NYDC was quite good & we had this super cool drink which was nice. It had a really long name & Stef and Kerri were laughing when I pronounced it. Went to Borders cause Kerri wanted to get her book & I got my 2 favourite magazines of all time- Teen Vogue and US Seventeen.

I miss the times last year during the B Div where Claire, Sam, Viv & I would flip through magazines after magazines during the tournament period. Where we would sprawl about on the floor going through magazines & Claire and Viv being so obsessed with the fitness pages. Hahaha I really miss them :(

The twelfth night seminar thing was like SO boring so I just talked to Vera & stared into space. Mum came to pick me, Stef & Kerri after that and we went to Island Creamery, my favourite ice cream :D I got teh tarik & we bought home 2 tubs. 1 was Teh Tarik and the other was Horlicks. Then we dropped Kerri off & Stef came over. Watched more stupid videos & had dinner. Then we went down to the poolside to talk.

Sunday was great. Went to church after 2 weeks cause I was sick for the past 2 weeks. I love going to church because the feeling is wonderful, awesome and over-whelming. We sang nice songs yesterday & I love Before the World Began. The sermon yesterday was probably the best one I've heard so far cause we had this American Missionary, Matt Mann who came to speak and told us about his experience working in Laos & helping the people there. The topic theme was " God's love for children". It was very touching & it's sad yet inspiring who such people give up so much just to help the underprivileged people. Did you know that there are 3 million street kids in the world and about a million are sold into the sex scene? It's really sad isn't it? Left after that for lunch with my aunt & sisters at Angus :D Walked around for a short while before coming home to rush school work.

The GSS is starting next week &amp;amp; I can hardly wait ;) I'm eyeing this really long necklace & 2 bangles at Aldo. Omg & we went to Tiffany's yesterday and I love the 1837 silver bangle. It's so simple yet sophisticated. I'm wondering if I should get it for my birthday present but Ling would probably kill me since I got the choker for my birthday 2 years back. Or maybe I should get a watch. But it is the most beautiful thing ever. Okay, going to update my wishlist & some links now.

This week's the last week of school. Well not really since we have 2 weeks of school during the holidays. But it's just 18 days till Kara comes visiting :D We'll probably be going for a short holiday with them. Either to KL or a cruise (: I can hardly wait.

Love,
Hwee

2006-05-18T01:00:00.000-12:00

And so the time has come... For us to say goodbye to Elliot Yamin :( I am beyond amazed, bitter, confused, distraught as to why he was booted out of the competition : Elliot's been my favourite contestant from the start & I always knew that he would do well & even predicted that he'd be one of the final 2. But now, that will never ever happen.

Elliot's probably my most favourite contestant from all the seasons of American Idol & he has so much talent, potential and character. It's really such a pity that he's not going to win it cause he does deserve it. He is such a nice guy & all that and it was so inspiring that he can sing so so so well despite being deaf in 1 ear. And he & his mum are just so sweet. "His mother, who was a professional singer, is his inspiration and biggest fan. For Elliott, being on American Idol has allowed him to pursue his dream of singing professionally. " How sweet is that?

Yesterday, I was so against Taylor while watching AI but after watching the results show on Star World, I am hoping that he will defeat Katharine because she is pretty obnoxious & so rude! Like when Ryan Seacrest announced that Elliot was going home, she was gleaming away & so was her evil Mum. Me & Ling were absolutely appalled by their childish, immature, immoral behaviour! Hahaha ;) And even though I am not particularly fond of Taylor, I hope that he wins now. I don't know why I don't like Taylor but somehow he just doesn't seem that wonderful to me. Maybe it's because he likes to dance about & he is so obsessed with his soul patrol or whatever. Hahaha like EVERY episode, he goes on about soul patrol. And he likes to shake around & swing to his sides. I was just thinking that maybe he thinks he's a pendulum. Hahahaha

It was so sad when they showed him singing Home at his hometown :( Ahhhh. I hope Elliot comes out with an album though & I will be the first to get it because I am a true blue Elliot fan who's been supporting him all the way! Hehe.

And what in the world is with Ryan Seacrest and not shaving?! Or is it just me being too critical? Hahaha. He looks like he hasn't shaved for months or either he's trying to grow a beard. Lol. But to me, he looks like he's just step out from Lost. HAHAHA I think he looks way better when he's clean and neat and shaven. Unlike Elliot who looks good with his beard (or is it moustache). Hahaha.

Okay, I actually have alot of stuff to update on but time doesn't permit me to do so. Tomorrow's the last day of the school week so hopefully I'll have time over the weekend then! It's as if I've been so busy the past few days cause there just seems to be piles and piles of homework waiting for me to complete :/ But then again, there's speech day on Saturday (ugh) & the Lit seminar thingy in the afternoon. I want to get my new camera soon so that when Cassie & Kara come I can use it cause my current camera isn't that good.

Okie dokie, gotta run (:

Love,
Elliot's loyal fan

Today has been AMAZING.
Firstly, because my Mum & Ling are back from London :D Missed them so much & it's so good to see them again (: When Mum came to pick me & Su, the both of us were running towards the car like idiots. Hahaha.

Secondly because my Mum got me tons of stuff from London :D Hehehehehe. Shall go into that later though... And thirdly, because school was pretty pleasant today! PE was fun (for once) and we played soccer and I managed to kick the bacll 4 times. Haha what a big achievement for me ;) The other periods were also pretty okay with Lit being quite ridiculous cause me, Stef & Kerri couldn't seem to agree on character study for Viola etc. Haha

And even though I have a pile of homework to complete today (because I was absent last week), nothing will change my mood :D I feel like the happiest girl ever!!! The String & Dance concert yesterday was also pretty good and interesting. Went with Rach & Vera etc. But people should learn not to cheer at concerts because it's just so wrong and stuff. Who in the world screams for their friends and stuff. Even though they probably like the support and all, there's no need to degrade yourself by cheering your lungs out. Annoying pests. But I shan't think about that now because I am happy!!!!

Sooooo, I looked at Ling's pictures and it seems like they had alot of fun in London. Weather was really good it seems. Saw the pictures Mum & Ling took with Papen & Aunty pam and Niki. Papen still looks the same and she still looks so cute and bubbly. Nicola still looks as pretty. If not even prettier. Hahaha Mum said she lost weight & she's even prettier now. Gosh I can't imagine that. I shall post a picture if Ling loads it onto the computer. Seems she's into hairdressing now & wants to work at Toni&Guy in London but now she's working at Hammersmith. Ahh I miss London so much and all my relatives so I have to do well for prelims and get my butt over there.

Okay, so now about the clothes :D My Mum has got to be the coolest, nicest, loveliest Mum ever. Not because she got me clothes, but because she IS the best and she beats all the rest. Hahaha ;)

They got me the wallets I wanted from Next :D Wipeedeedoo :D The ones that say " I love chocolate etc etc" and the one which goes " I love shopping. I'm born to shop etc ". Then I have this pair of polka dotted pumps from Next & Mum got some shoes from Topshop so I'm gonna share them. I got these awesome pants from UCOB & the prettiest 3 quarters from Next and they have these things dangling which are supposed to be in fashion in London currently. Then I got 4 tops- of which are either stripes or polka dots(!!!!!) YAY :D I have 3 handbags and a bag from Claires supposed to look like the Balenciaga motorcycle bag which I have been wanting. But due to the cost... Haha but nevermind, this one is just as pretty (:

Then I got 3 bracelets & these Best Friend charms to hook onto bracelets cause Mum got one for me & Kara. I got a white skirt & the coolest Ipod cover thingy. Mine's a pink heart thing and it's really cute. A pity they don't have them here cause it seems they're all over London. But I'm glad they don't have them here so I'll be the only one with it ;) Heh. I also got 2 belts & a few storybooks :D Last but not least.... QUAVERS. We each have a bag of quavers which has mini packets & Mum also got Mr Porkey crackers :D Wooohoooo. Okay I shall stop my boasting now. Hahaha. Ignore my boasting because how often is it that I get so many things? Not very often so yeah :D

Okay, now I have to rush my work cause I might be going with Mum to Ikea to get some stuff :D Be happy !!!

2006-05-13T15:17:00.000-12:00

I have more or less recovered so I'm feeling way better now (: I've been falling ill alot this year which is kinda bad cause when I'm down, I fall ill for a week. Luckily the doctor has confirmed that I don't have a tumour, thyroid and whatever. Hahaha okay I'm too paranoid. So she deduced that it's probably due to the renovation works in my condo or something. I'm just too sensitive to paint and thinner and all that kinda of stuff :/ So now, I have like 4 multi vitamins to take everyday to help build up my immunity.

So yes, for the past week, I've been lying about at home & I only went out yesterday (: I've been sleeping, watching tv, waking up for meals, sleeping, watching tv & I've been in bed by 9 every night. Hahaha. But sleeping helps to make me feel better.

And so because I was sick over the weekend, we had to cancel our stay at Raffles The Plaza & I know my sisters were pretty disappointed :/ I kinda feel bad for falling ill.

Bought 3 CDs from HMV yesterday & normally I don't buy so many CDs at once but because I had a HMV voucher so there :D Hahaha. I got Lee Ryan's, KT Tunstall & the Elizabethtown soundtrack. I have no idea why I bought KT Tunstall's cause it's not like I really like her music or what, but yeah. Hahaha. And I FINALLY saw the video clip for All Time Love by Will Young. I must admit that even though he is gay, I'll always be his fan. Hahaha
Today is Mothers' Day but my Mum isn't in Singapore so we're gonna call her in London around evening due to time difference. Had a mini celebration for my grandma last night at my aunt's house & we watched The Family Stone. It's pretty good actually, but I realised that there's not much of a story line. But it reflects all these family values & stuff like sticking together which is so touching. The ending was so sad though.

So even though my Mum won't read this, here's wishing her a Happy Mothers' Day. Hahaha :D I possibly have the best mother ever & no one can beat her in being the most understanding, caring, loving, giving and funny Mum. She's done so much for all of us & without her, things would be different. I know it's not an easy job being a Mum especially when she has to ferry us around and stuff which is why I love her so much. And not only that, she trusts us and it's so easy to talk to her because she understands what we go through.

Mum & Ling are coming back on Tuesday morning though & I'm looking forward to that. I really miss the both of them :D They called on Friday and it seems they're having alot of fun in London- weather's good and shopping's good. How I wish I was there. Then they went up to Cardiff and went on this massive shopping spree because everything was cheap & on discount for some reason. I hope they've got my Twelfth Night books I need from Waterstone though. And then when I talked to Mum she said that she wished the whole family was there & that if only we could study there. But of course we have to stay here since my Dad travels so it's much more convenient to move about from here to China & since my grandma's here (: But I do know that my Mum having grown up there will always want to retire there because afterall it's home. Haha so I shall work hard and send my parents back to live in London in the future.

Okay we're going for lunch now then I have chinese tuition at night. Bye!

2006-05-11T15:01:00.000-12:00

I have been sick for the past week & it has been terrible and awful :( Didn't go to school yesterday & went to the doctor's. Got a full blood test & stuff but results were okay. The doctor said I probably keep falling ill because I have a weak immunity & it could be the renovation works going on in the condo. I wish they'd finish it soon and stop dragging it.

So we can't go to the hotel today because I am ill & in no condition for having fun & shopping :( Poor Jing and Su were kinda disappointed but oh well. I just hope I recover really soon so that I can go for the school concert on Monday.

I also miss my Mum & Ling alot :( They left on Monday and will be back this Tuesday. But they called and they've bought me clothes already. Hehe that makes me feel slightly better :D Okay, going to sleep now.

2006-05-06T17:26:00.000-12:00

I love Fashion Avenue :D I think that Jodie Kidd is kinda pretty in her own way. Not like outstanding pretty, but she's got this really unique look. And I love her clothes.

Missed church today cause I wasn't feeling well. I'm feeling slightly better now after spending the whole of yesterday at home. Went out to parkway around late morning yesterday with Ling to get some stuff & we waited for half an hour for the stupid shuttle bus that is supposed to pick up people living in Meyer Road. Once again, that annoying shuttle bus didn't come, so we ended up taking a cab down cause we got tired from waiting for it. Got another one of Jodi Picoult's books & followed Ling to get her 2 new specs. She got these pair of black ones which make her look so studious. Then the other pair is like blue/ purple & they can change colour depending on the lighting.

Then we came back & I went to bed. Woke up around 4 in the afternoon then read a book & lazed around in Mum's bed. Watched TV and then went to sleep again. Hahaha. This morning, I woke up around 11, watched White Chicks & had lunch. Now I'm going to take a shower, finish up some chinese tuition homework & get some more sleep since sleeping will help me recover faster! I have to go to school tomorrow though, since we're getting back our papers.

Riley Keough is really pretty & she looks so much like Meg Ryan. And she kinda does look like Elvis. Well at some angles at least.

2006-05-04T22:35:00.000-12:00

School was okay today as lessons passed quite fast. Mum didn't want me to go to school at first since I wasn't feeling well but luckily I felt better after a while. Plus, I thought that Miss Yeo was going to return our papers today, but no she didn't. So we're getting it back on Monday. Mum came to pick me up after school & we gave Rach a lift home. Well what's new? That free loader ;) Hahahaha kidding! Came home, had a quick lunch & decided to follow Mum & my older sis to collect some stuff. Then we went to get Ling's stuff for London. They bought a rice cooker. Hahaha I don't know why though because it's not like London doesn't sell rice cookers. They had this really cool blender thing that I wanted but Mum said no since we already have one :(

So after that, we went to pick Jing up from tuition then came home. Now, Mum & Ling are packing some of the stuff they're going to bring over to London. Ling's bringing some of her winter clothes over & she's gonna leave them at my Aunt's so she won't have to bring over so many in September when she officially goes of to Kings. Ling, being the avid shopper that she is, has a thousand & one clothes. She has like 6 or 7 scarves she's going to bring over & those aren't her whole scarf collection. Seriously, she's worse than me. Hahaha :D And her clothes and stuff. But I have to say that she's smart because she's taken pictures with her camera so she knows what she has over there so she won't go round looking for them. Mum & my aunt keep telling her she's going there to study & not for a fashion show. Hahaha but I don't really agree with that. Both Ling & I agree that you still have to look good even in Uni.

Now that I see both of them being occupied with packing luggages, it makes me wish that the holidays were nearer. I must admit that I am pretty jealous because I wish I was the one flying over to London :( But I suppose I do benefit from them going over. Hehehe I'll just bug them to get quavers & clothes. I think that I'm going to miss Ling alot when she goes over. But I shall talk about that another time.

This will be the 1st year that Mum won't be in Singapore for Mothers' Day :( Me & Ling haven't decided what to get for Mum yet though. Su, being the cheapo she is, refuses to share with us. I suggested getting an Ipod but Ling says Mum won't use it. Grrrr. We know Mum wants Brenda Seah (or is it Cheah) earrings to add on to her collection. But being the poor souls we are, we can't afford it yet. So Mum says to wait for the GSS cause the prices will drop. Yes, I cannot wait for the GSS!!! Furthermore, Kara & Cassie will be here which means shopping shopping shopping :D

This shall be my last weekend of enjoying myself & relaxing because I have to start studying soon. Kinda sad isn't it? But this past week has been enjoyable, with nothing to do and being able to have fun and all that. We've only got back our Math paper and History. Pretty contended with Math since I expected to fail. But there's definitely room for improvement for History. I can't wait for next weekend though, because it's a long weekend. And since Mum & Ling won't be in Singapore, we'll be going to stay at a hotel with my aunt :D Wipee

And this is the camera that I want to get :D

Sometimes we get so caught up with our own lives & we forget certain people. Not because we want to, but because our time doesn't permit us. But it's so nice to know that people still care & I love it when you get the chance to catch up :D And maybe learning to forgive is important afterall (: It's almost the weekend again :D

2006-05-02T19:46:00.000-12:00

Multiply Your love through me
To someone in need
Help me Lord to freely give
This grace that I've received

Let my single purpose be
To imitate Your life
Through my simple words and deeds
Let love be multiplied

I think I'm falling ill or something. Because I have a runny nose, a slight cough & worst of all, I have this terrible stomachache that keeps coming back. Mummy thinks it might be a stomach flu because I keep going to the toilet. Hahaha I went to the toilet thrice in school today & that is rather rare since I don't like school toilets. They're gross, dark, icky & sick. But there's not much of a choice when your stomach hurts so much :/ During lit, Stef was laughing just because I took quite alot of toilet paper & she was giggling away. Talk about sympathy.

Oh yes, I have to talk about yesterday's Literature lesson. Well there were these 2 annoying flies or bees buzzing around & everyone was kinda freaked out so everybody was trying to chase them away. Hahaha :D Then these annoying insects refused to fly out of the classroom so Stef got irritated & she opened her hand & tried to catch them. Hahaha like how you would catch a mosquito. But the funniest thing was that while everyone was scared of touching the insects, Stef opened her palm hoping to kill it. And some people said these insects had stings. Hahaha I would've liked to see Stef's reaction if they stung her. Mwahahaha. I couldn't stop laughing after that cause her expression was so funny.

Anyway, we haven't received any of our papers yet cause the teachers aren't done with marking. I don't understand why they don't want to have marking days ;) Okay there's American Idol :D Yay go Elliot :D :D There's going to be the String & Dance concert on the 15th of May & I'm going with Rach, Vera & Jo. But I can't seem to log on to the e portal thing :

I hate it when people borrow my books & totally bend them and fold them. I don't understand why they're like that because if it's someone else's book, then all the more you should ensure that you take good care of it. UGH. Annoying annoying annoying!!!! Stef, stop laughing anyway!.

Now, I'm going to bake more brownies for the 4/5's "birthday" tomorrow then take a quick nap since I'm not feeling too good :/
