out with the old, in with the new.

i just realised that i last blogged before my Vietnam trip, which was, eons away...

had a recent urge of blogging, probably as last year was a lot too much to bear.

but as often said, God will grant you a burden which you can bear.

the much dreaded A levels are long over, followed with a pack of activities i must say.

Class prom, Friends gathering, Vietnam Trip, Birthday celebs, Farewell for Cheryl, Dinner with Mrs Cheong...

Vietnam was okay, spoiled by the know how to speak but don't understand English tour guide.

but it was an awesome trip with only my aunt & 2 cousins. :)

Thanks Tung for being 1/2 a day tour guide too!

To Cheryl, our lovely princess, i bet she will pull through BMT.

just found out that Jed became the face for VJ website.. hahas!

but he & chemicals does not mixed like a T i guess. hahas!

oh, and i forgot to mention the kick start of my driving lessons!

and of course, i did pass my btt. hahas! (oh, congrats jing for passing her ftt! :))

it was awesome. hahas! the instructor said i got potential! :)

working for my mom now, more like slacking. hahas.

half half, i want to work out, but want to stay at home at the same time.

its a total dilemma i must say.

thats probably a short summary of what went on in my life.

but more of an update for you guys, i guess it is part of my milestone in my memory lane.

As anticipating as it is, Chinese New Year is around the corner.

probably is due to last year's experience of CNY, i really appreciate every small details of preparation.

from the most dreaded spring cleaning to the purchasing of flowers.

i guess i appreciate these taken-for-granted moments that was much dreaded by most.

being able to actually be going around busy preparing, its really very fortunate.

last year may not be the best year, but it awakened the silly me to my senses.

"don't take things for granted" is what everybody always say.

but talk is easy. do we actually do it? i highly doubt so to begin with.

i guess people learn after they fall, learn from their lessons. thats when we learn.

but as what we always say, "send off the old and welcome the new"

i really hope that this year will be a smooth year, with good health and fortune, filled with joy & laughter.

and thanks for all my dear friends who helped me pull through the fateful year...

your encouragement are deeply appreciated and remembered. :)

hectic & memoriable week...

the jc syllabus.

put the past behind and welcome the future of uncertainty.

these past few months have been, full of ups and downs i must say...

but i have to genuinely thank my family and friends who stand by me, supporting me.

i know my temper arent the best during times of stress!

and i can be really whiney during this period. (sorry and thanks ken!)

hmms, but at least, i can say that it comes to a wonderful end yst!

met up with sam and vic after the paper!

had a super awesome talk and dinner at bugis junction!

and my eyes caught some shoes, but me and vic were caught up with cramps, sadly.

and we were exhausted after the paper somehow! hahas!

i'm really glad to end the special day with a meet up with them though!

and finally i got my new hp, nokia e72! :)

2 months was a long wait, but it wasnt the top of my pirority.

but it still passed faster than i thought! hahas! :))

i just packed my jc stuff!

and oh man! if i stacked everything up, i guess its almost like 1.5m! HAHAS!

hmms. i know i didnt blog about many major events...

speaking of my bday celeb, i still can rmb its when we had our last prelim paper, phys too!

we girls ate at the fish mkt manhatthan and spent the night chit chating by spore river!

and the funny thing is my 2 hamsters - ji nian ping and ji nian ri, were in the middle...

we made a promise to have a go at the bungee after the last day of phys paper,

BUT sadly, nobody dares to take up the challenge now! hahas!

and we caught a movie after phys paper 2!

it was 2012! awesome movie though! :) really funny too!

but the thought that it might be true really send shivers down my spine!

hmms. feels nice to be blogging now. hahas!

with so much time on my hand now, i really wonder what to do with it!

but looking forward to the 3rd! - NEW MOON + KBOX + ISSAC! :P

my brain doesnt function normally at all i guess! while a big task awaits me... COMPLETING GEOG IN 2 DAYS. awesome? AWESOME! i know how deep shit i'm in! considering my maths, the more i do, the more i dont know how to do! ==! and my phys! ==. econs, okay. i finally get national eqm of income. == soo... hopefully! prelims may knock me off my feet again. but a's will be awaiting my ace! :) i just simply know that! :D i will definitely be that miracle case man! :DD! the next bernard of strings! (i'm super sorry that i forgot thr was a bernard in strings! LOL!)

anws, happy birthday to Mrs Cheong! hahas! me and jiwei bought her a cake, and taiko till we bought her son, Issac's fav kaya pandan cake! lol! Issac is simply soooo cute! and not forgetting how gentlemanly he is compared to (idk??) tonns of guys now, and pls, he is just only 2 yrs old! :P hahas! i bet her new born daughter will be even cuter too! :)

to BRIG: oh. and i know how small Spore is, and considering brig, since you guys live in the same district, i'm not surprised that you will bump into our "dearest" right? hahas! but still that one liner of "OMG! i saw ____" totally got me cracking in the middle of my phys tuition. when i told my dad, he said "oh, didnt brig kissed her!" it made me LOL all the way! considering the incident had happened a long time ago, my dad said we should forgive our dearest. deep down, i think i sort of let the matter pass. but i guess impression sure is lasting. i will not hesitate to say hi (okay, though i didnt do that to that yucky bamboo stick at the snyo concert. we ARENT close in the first place. and i dont rmb talking to him at all in payco!) . but probably give me another few more years and i will be ready to face her with a whole hearted smile. and i'm waiting to bump into you brig! and char! (though me & char stay in the same district. ==) hahas! anw to my dear jnr girls animal farmers, including junhao aka sexy hands, do work hard & gambattee! our major yr & we will be kicking loads of asses right? :D

its already in the wee hours of the morning! and i'm set, set, not to be distracted tmr morning & get every single bit of details in my head! wish me luck! nights & sweet dreams! :D (hope none of you have dreams with montsers & vampires chasing you hot on the heels! :P! someone will get it! hahas!!)

AND Get well soon Kim Hyun Joong! Recover from H1N1 soon! :D

lethargic.

PAYCO cellists & bassists

Chris, me & brig!

i know how inefficient i am, considering the BIG inertia i'm facing getting my butt to sit there and for all the facts to enter my pea sized brain! i'm seriously screwed for idk? ALL subs?

recent rants with friends, all the aweinspiring dreams.from being interior designers to setting up our own shops side by side.as all boils down, eventually its a dream. reality is hurtful, but a fact.you dont get everything you want and desire in life kiddo, accept it! but as it often goes, when the door closes, God will open another window.it might not be your first choice, but at least its an acceptable alternative.i've been making alot of plan B's though. with the mounting pressure facing from the horrendous A's.i guess its not as bad after all. who needs medicine or business! come on!

"hang hang chu zhuang yuan" - an elite in every profession!

BUT that does not mean we sit and slack.hard work pays off... SO... OFF YOU GO PPL. & MUG YOUR BUTTS OFF!heys, i mean, there is even a possibilty to tunnel through a wall. (according to the Schroeinger's law (i have no idea how to spell! :P)) so, LET'S GAMBATEE FOR EVEN THAT SLIGHT CHANCE. i mean who knows when a miracle is around the corner, right? :)

on a side track, a muddle headed person wished me H.B in advance, a week earlier! BLUR BLOCK! :P

i mean thats what endless mugging do to you...LOST CONCEPT OF TIME! ^^ JIAYOU! :)

(anw, i posted the photo because jed insisted that was not chris! HAHAS! :P & i did this for his comparison sake! BECAUSE, its him, jed!! & i missed animal farm alot man! awws! )
