God! Not enough time!

I just realised that each time I need to blog, I will ALWAYS have A LOT to blog, I will ALWAYS be busy and A LOT of people will be chatting with me. When I have time to be bored, there's nothing for me to blog about. Sigh.



WEDNESDAY. Felix, Twinny and I went to Carousel because Twinny wanted to get her phone. When we reached there, we searched up and down but the same thing that happened to me, happened to Twinny; phone out of stock. The phone wasn't exactly a very very very good popular phone. I could only find one reason for it to be out of stock: it's CHEAP.



In the pet shop, I finally saw hermit crabs actually crawling. I mean, no, I finally saw their body. The first time I saw it was through webcam. Those were Nic's and they were not moving. When one finally moved, it moved without the limbs coming out of the shell. Or at least, they weren't visible enough. Second time was at the Canning Vale market. ALL were not moving. So I couldn't tell which was real, which was fake. Third time was Michelle. According to her, hers were sleeping. FOURTH TIME! IN THE PET SHOP! MOVING! WITH LIMBS VISIBLE!



There was only one puppy left in the pet shop. A labrador. At first I thought it was a golden retriever but I thought it looked distinctively different so when I checked, I was right. It was a labrador. They didn't name the price. But the puppy looked skinny. Poor fella. There were lotsa kittens. Really cute and fury. The guinea pigs looked really paranoid. The rats...there were A LOT so they looked...disgusting. DON'T MISTAKEN ME! I usually like those white rats (when they're clean) but there were really too many in the cage, scrambling about. They just look so...ARGH I DON'T KNOW I JUST DON'T LIKE CROWDS!!!!!



We went to Coles because Felix needed water badly. After that, we slowly made our way all the way to Woolworths. At Woolworths, I got only RedRocks chips, two tubs of yoghurt, milk and magazine. I had most of my essentials at home already. I forgot what Twinny got but hers was cheaper, as usual. Twinny also bought a loaf of bread at Baker's Delight only to find out that Aunty also bought one loaf when we reached home. Smart move, Twinny.



Another thing was, instead of Twinny buying her phone, Felix ended up getting a Motorola VX3. A 3G phone. Bulky.



TUESDAY and THURSDAY was just spent at home, watching DVDs and TV. Nothing much.



FRIDAY. I woke up in time for lunch. After lunch, I started peeling my potatoes. I was REALLY REALLY paranoid about the potato peeler. It was meant to be safe but I still have phobias for sharp weapons. Ok, mistake, potato peelers are not weapons. Sharp OBJECTS. But after one or two potatoes, I got used to the potato peeler already. God's power made me overcome my fear for that...that...small tiny object. But HEY, there was still a blade and there was still a risk! Ok, shut up, Rynetta.



Aunty helped me boil the six eggs and fry the bacon. The eggs were easy because I just needed them to be hard-boiled and just needed to peel and chop. Aunty just wanted me to do the things I've yet to learn (peeling potatoes, chopping them). I saw Aunty fry the bacon, saw the amount of oil and salt she added. Easy la!



I finished peeling 15 potatoes so I started chopping them. As usual, phobia of sharp objects: knife. When I tried chopping the first potato into half, the knife just got stuck in the middle. I kept pushing and pressing and pushing and pressing until finally the potato split into two. One flew off the chopping board. I STILL MANAGED TO SPLIT IT INTO TWO! The subsequent ones were easier.



After Aunty was done with her laundry, she came in to help me again. Within minutes, she diced up don't know HOW MANY potatoes already. More than just twice my speed can? I was just standing in awe. After my potatoes were chopped, Aunty helped me boil the potatoes (no strength to carry that whole pot of potatoes la sorry la). While the potatoes were left to boil, I took my first shower of the day. The hot water against the cold weather felt really really good.



I came out just in time for the potatoes to be properly boiled. Twinny was doubting about the softness of the potatoes so I proved her wrong by eating just one small cube. It tasted so good even without any flavouring. Potatoes are just that wonderful themselves. The potatoes were left to cool in the container.



When they were FINALLY cooled (like what? after half an hour?), I started pouring the eggs and bacon and mayoniese (pardon my spelling) inside. Stir stir stir! It was really fun la to see the product. When I was done stirring, I cleaned up the sides of the container and TAH-DAH the potato salad for cell is DONE!



At 4.30, Nic arrived at my house. He said 4.45 leh!!! I even thought he'll be late. I was watching Chobits halfway some more. So he chatted with Aunty, sat around, Annsley cooked her fried rice, I continued watching my Chobits.



Suddenly Nic came into my room. He started checking out my comp. Then he went to play Felix's DOTA. Then he came back to my room and played my comp's solitaire 'cos my solitaire's different. Then he slept on my bed. =_=.



When Edwin arrived, he took my Twister DVD and one of my small cat soft toys. Thanks ar. He even snatched my front seat la!!!!! Hmph! When Nic called May, we found out that May went down herself. Woah. Fast. So we went all the way down to cell at Michelle's house!



Wei Xian was doing games for cell. His game was easy. He sticks a paper onto your back and on the paper will be an actor's name. You're supposed to see everyone else's actor and give them clues. Mine was Jim Carrey. Hee! Then Alicia's game. COMPLICATED AR! So I shan't explain. Hi John, Yes John, Tell John. Wow ok.



We had new songs for worship. Then was the 40 Days of Community book. Then DINNER!



There was my potato salad, Twinny's fried rice, Nic's cookies and Michelle's lasagne. May couldn't eat ALL. Michelle then had waffles with ice cream. May could eat. Then she toasted bread and took out the dips. May could eat...without the dips. THEN she made hash browns. Out of 4, May ate 3. Woah I really really pity her.



After dinner, everyone started lazing around, socialising blah blah blah. Peggy whacked my butt. I whacked hers back (it was really difficult). Peggy and I then decided to whack Annsley's butt. I managed to, Peggy didn't.



Stephen, Edwin and Jon were playing rugby outside in the living room. Passing the ball. Suddenly the ball accidentally hit Annsley. Annsley hit the ball back at Stephen, telling him he should throw backwards. He tried and this time the ball hit Annsley's butt when she turned around. xD Freakin' funny!!!!! Peggy was like "I think Stephen hit Annsley's butt for my already". Wa lao!!!!! FUNNY!



We sat around a little while more until it was close to 11pm then Edwin wanted to send us home. Before we went out, we were saying our goodbyes and I hugged Peggy and Stephen goodbye. Hehe! I love both of them. One really good friend, one really nice brother. We reached home happily ever after. Ok no link.



Shall blog about church another time. Tired already. Look at the amount. *faint*

monday!

I'm back! To blog! Been to lazy for the past few days. Not much happened. Ok, correction. There was one big happening day, and three...not so happening days. I shall blog about monday!



So at first I was told the day before(sunday) to meet at Curtin bus stop at 11.30. But when I woke up, they met at 11.30 at the ESPLANADE bus port. I got quite irritated. I mean, being told one thing the night before and waking up to another thing...how does that make a good start?



Somehow or another, Felix decided to join us. In other words, we could take our time even thought it was 11.30 and we were still...at home! That's because we're supposed to meet at the ice skating rink at 1.30. I took my time to shower, and so did Annsley.



Da Yong was told to call Annsley and they reached the city. As expected, they didn't. Perfect planning. My instincts just proved me right again. (It doesn't always have to be bad things that happened though) So at around 12 plus, Felix, Annsley and I left the house, not knowing where the ice skating rink is.



Felix drove all the way to the city (it was the direction to the ice skating rink) and then further on till he hit Midlands then he stopped at the road side (in some small road) and asked Annsley to call and ask where exactly is the ice skating rink while I was supposed to look up the map to find where exactly were we. So we found out it was at Mirabooka. Mirabooka where? Don't know.



So Felix drove and I guided him with the help of the map. We drove and drove and drove until tah-dah! We see the ice skating rink's sign. I liked directing, by the way. I love reading the map for directions xD. So we turned in, parked the car, got out and went in to realise the ice skating rink is not opened. Yet. 1.30. So we decided to go to Mac's (it was just next door). Then Shelina and gang came. I bought double beef and bacon meal. Large meal. Which meant large fries and large coke. Soon enough, the rest of the gang came. Nicholas and so on.



When I finally managed to finish my burger, Shelina said she's gonna queue up for the ice skating entrance because it was already 1.30. So I rushed through my chips, gave some to May, and dashed out with my coke. Just to join the queue. As we queued, I gulped the my coke as fast as I could. We payed as a group so that we only needed to pay 12 bucks each. Speaking of which, Nic hasn't return me the 12 bucks I payed for him. When we got in, we got our shoe size and in we go! Time to ice skate!



Felix was being an idiot I tell you. At the start, he acted as if he couldn't skate. He acted so well and Nic and I thought he seriously couldn't skate. Then all of a sudden, unexpectedly, he just ZOOMED off like an ice hockey player. What an ass!!!!! I didn't start off too well. Lost quite a bit of touch after one-two years. But within seconds, I managed to release the rail and skate slowly. And within minutes, I gathered speed.



Nic and Felix both kept threatening to crash into me. I nearly crashed into a girl too. Good thing was, I didn't fall. AT ALL. YIPEE!!!!! Annsley fell about 3-5 times. Cannot remember. Felix fell once. Nic fell only on his hands so he didn't get wet. Yes, the ice skating rink was pretty wet. Jay fell twice. And both falls were HARD. In other words, he was really wet. Derek fell once. Natasha fell once. Jasper and Faith came late so they didn't skate. At 3, the ice skating rink was closed for re-surfacing. Nic, Jasper and Faith stayed at Macs because they wanted to skate the 4pm session. The rest of us? CITY!!!!!



Felix drove Annsley and I there. The rest took the bus. On the way there, Felix wasn't sure where to turn. He just simply turned here and there till he sees tall buildings; city. So after he saw the buildings, I finally found where we were on the map and realised that Felix just had to keep going straight.



When we reached the city, our first place was TIMEZONE! Because it was near where Felix parked his car lol. At one go, I grabbed 7 small ones and two big ones. Four small ones were for me and three repeats were for Twinny. The two big ones were for Annsley because I had both already. It was all within half an hour by the way.



Then we met Shelina and gang and Tea Fusion. I ordered durion smoothie with oreo and sago. They played card games while I sat in one corner stoning. Didn't have much to do. Then Shelina and Jay went off to do things. Don't know what things. Then May had to go off because she had a plane to catch. That GIRL! Go back Singapore also never tell us. So sudden one. So I walked her to the Esplanade bus port.



On the way, I called to ask Stephen where he was because he was supposed to meet us. So when I got back to Tea Fusion, there he was! He gave Twinny and I each a chocolate bar. After waiting for sometime, we decided we couldn't wait for Shelina and Jay any longer so we went to Nando's!



We sat down and on the way to Nando's Stephen was telling me he wanted one of those small toys. So after we ordered our food, Felix, Stephen and I went to Time Zone. Felix played the shooting game. Stephen was somewhere at another corner. So I tried my luck to catch more toys. I caught two more small toys. I went up to Stephen and gave him one and he was really happy! Yay bro's happy! And bro gave me a shoulder hug! Then I caught one more small one again.



Finally the food was ready so we went back to eat. I had fries! In chilli powder. They said it was peri peri powder but it was something like chili powder. At first it wasn't even spicy at all. So I poured some extra hot chili sauce on Twinny's plate and finally there was spice. The chili sauce wasn't actually very hot. It tasted more like a...mild chili. But it was good enough!



Then Shelina and Jay came. They ordered their food and eat. However, we were very late because we were supposed to meet at Broadway at around 7.30 and it was still 7 and Shelina and Jay were still eating. So Stephen called for transport. It was then confirmed that Jason will pick them up at around 8 plus. So they took their time to eat and we walked around timezone.



When the time was up, Felix drove some of us to the place where they were supposed to meet Jason while the rest walked. When Jason arrived, he asked Shelina, Twinny and I to squeeze at the back sit of Michelle's car (Jason was driving Michelle's car) where Ru Wei was already there. In other words, there were four of us behind. The rest of the guys were supposed to get into Felix's car and Felix was supposed to follow Jason behind. Then Jason went to a car park where Jazper was waiting. Then Felix and Jazper followed behind as we made our way to the Laser Quest venue.



When we reached, we saw Nic coming out of Jazper's car boot. It was a wonder he actually survived the whole journey. He even said the techno song sounded nice in the boot. When we were about to go in, we heard the sounds of the paint ball shooting. It sounded...quite...scary.



When we got in, we were given a briefing on how to play the laser quest. We were split into two teams. Girls vs boys. But because there were more boys than girls, Jazper had to join our girls' team.



For the first round, the boys went upstairs and shot us from above. I just kept camping in our area downstairs. We, obviously, lost by over 20 points. Second round, one more boy was made to come over our team to help us. Edison came over.



Second round was really funny. We girls were allowed to go upstairs. So I camped in one very very safe corner and shot whoever walked past below. There was one moment Felix tried to invade our girl's camping area. He hid behind one barrel. So Shelina and I attacked him from both sides of the barrel. He was made to retreat. xD. Fun shit.



After laser, we decided to go to China Dragon in the city for dinner. Although most of us have eaten, we just went there first before we re-decide. When we reached there, we finally decided on bubble tea. So we went tea fusion. When we reached Tea Fusion, Bee Jia's cell was upstairs. So Shelina and gang and Felix and Twinny and I stayed downstairs. After our drinks came, Felix wanted to go home because it was already about 11pm. So we left and had a good night's rest at home.



By the way, on the way to laser quest, there was a police car. On first reaction, Shelina and I both hid. So the back seat looked like there was only two people. =_="

Sunday 23 April 2006

Friday, Saturday, Sunday! Weeeee!

WOAH! HAPPENING! Seriously, I haven't been so active in Singapore. Let's blog backwards ok? Starting from TODAY.



I woke up at around 11? Yep and went to shower. When I got out of the shower, I sms-ed Annsley when to leave the house to take a bus to the Curtin bus stop.



Yes, I know we're living under the same roof and that her room's just beside mine but her door was close and I was too lazy to knock the door and scream through the door and strain my ears against the door just to hear what Annsley said.



So I was prepared already then Annsley told me she's not going. SHE'S NOT GOING. She told me when I'm like SHOWERED and READY la can????? Then I damn sian and was having second thoughts and she insisted on me going and I was very irritated about it.



In the end, I still decided to go because I've never really played in Australia's beaches before. Not even when I was at Cairns' Green Island because my parents were around so I couldn't swim and leave them alone.



While having lunch (I had wanton mee without wanton btw, see the irony?), Aunty asked Felix to drive me to Curtin bus stop. He kept trying to ask me to do things in return. At first he wanted me to pay him. Then he said to buy him fish and chips. But by the time I get home, the fish and chips would be cold. So in the end he gave up and just sent me to Curtin bus stop.



I reached there at...what? 12.48? So freakin' early la. So I sat down and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited. At 1.07, I smsed Nic to ask him if I was supposed to wait at the bus stop. Then he called me to tell me he and Faith will be a little late because their Curtin church service ended late. At around 1.15, they arrived. Just in time for the 99 bus. So we took the bus down to the train station and then took the train down to city.



Met Jasper at the train station and they went to take away korean food. Jasper asked what my name was and it took him a long while to get it right. 15 minutes later, he forgot. THANKS AR! So Faith and Nic sat and ate their food at the Wellington bus port because they still had time before the bus came at 2.30. We took 102 to Cottesloe beach.



The bus ride was...quite...looooong. It wasn't regretful, though. When the bus reached Cottesloe, and when I saw the scenery, inside of me went "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nice and WIDE. So SO different from Singapore's beach. Sorry ar, it IS, indeed, my first time to a beach in Perth.



When we got off the bus, we went to a shop so that Jasper can get his surf board. It's not exactly for surfing because it's very thin. I don't know what you call it but for the moment I shall call it sand boarding until I get to know the right term. They didn't have much thongs. Or at least, not enough to let me see the ones I like.



Then they walked down to the toilet so that they can change. Only I didn't change because I was already wearing singlet and shorts. But it was a grave mistake. You shall know why later. When we left the toilet, we walked towards the right of the toilet but they couldn't find a nice spot. Then we walked all the way back until the left of the toilet then they found the right spot. =_=



So Faith and I sat down watching Jasper and Nic play with their...board. So we sat and sat and ate the cookies (I only ate a few) and waited for the sun to come out. Today's sun was like nothing. Not strong enough and it kept hiding behind the clouds. Then suddenly Jasper and Nic pulled Faith into the water. They pulled Faith's arms and dragged her all the way in. In other words, I was their HUGE next target. So the played and played and played.



All of a sudden, Jasper and Nic were running at me. I CHIONG AR!!!!! I ran and ran and ran and all of a sudden Nic was beside me. =_= Can you please not run so fast for once. So I gave up and just dropped onto the sand while Jasper carried me by the arms and Nic by the legs. I was struggling and struggling kicking my legs and halfway Jasper went "Eh! Wait wait! Tired ar!" One good reason to be heavy. Then I thought I could run but stoopid Nic continued grabbing onto my legs. ARGH! Then both of them grabbed my arms and dragged me all the way into the water. AND my pants nearly dropped. Thanks ar =_=.



Then they made me wet from waiste down not enough. Nic wanted to drag me deeper into the water. I was like "ARGH! NONONONONO CANNOT!!!!!" But he managed to drag me a little further. Then I immediately left the water and stood on the sand and wait for my clothes to dry so that I can fan off all the sand. I stood for...half an hour? Still not dry. Only shirt dry. Then I realised I should've worn the OP shorts I brought for in case because that one dries fast. DAMN. Now you know why I should've changed.



Nic decided to take a MV of him and Jasper playing. They wanted Faith to video them running to their board, taking their board, and sand board. First one was HELL funny. They ran, took their board, only to realise the wave was not strong enough but Jasper just went in then Nic couldn't help laughing at Jasper so he just fell onto the sand laughing. You should see him fall man. HELL funny.



Ok wait I'm gonna ask Faith to send the video. Nope, I ain't gonna put it up in my blog because since my internet forbids me to post pictures, vidoes are out of the question. If only I wasn't using wireless internet. I'll find one day to go to my school's library and post picture. Hopefully their internet doesn't forbid me either. When I post pictures, the whole blogger just lags. ARGH.



At around 6, we finally left the beach and go to the toilet because we had to catch the 6.15 bus. Nic and Jasper were shivering lol. Actually, no, I only saw Nic shiver. But both of them complained they were cold. I was also hell cold. Especially when the night drew nearer. In the toilet, when I was changing, ALL my clothes were full of sand, even my underwear. Ok you didn't need to know that but heck it's true. When Faith and I were finally ready, we went over to the boys toilet (er..only outside) to wait for the boys. The boys took longer. W.o.w.



So we reached the bus stop in time for the bus. In time to even WAIT for the bus. While waiting, we ate the remainings of the cookies. Nice. The bus finally came and we took the bus all the way back to the city.



On the way, Faith and I grabbed pictures from Jasper's phone. Talking about pictures, Faith and I took ALOT of scenery shots at the beach. Sweet man.



We dropped off at Wellington bus station and walked all the way to the street where they had Hungry Jack's, KFC and Macs side by side. We could either take the 7.15 or 8.15 bus and it was 7 but we didn't want to take away our food so we chose to eat in at KFC and take the 8.15 bus.



We ate family feast so two of us were supposed to eat three pieces and someone will have to eat four. After Nic ate four, and Faith and I both ate three each, there was one more piece back. They gave us one extra. But all of us were full!!!!! I took the small mashed potato. It was ok la just abit hard. I gulped down my cup of pepsi as if I've never drank pepsi before. I just miss pepsi THAT much. We had one large box of fries, one large coleslaw, one small mashed potato and one piece of chicken left and Faith and Nic decided to give them to Kevin!



We took the 8.15 bus back to Curtin bus stop. On the way, Nic dropped off. When we reached the Curtin bus stop, we waited for Kevin to pick us up. Then Kevin came and picked us up. You should see Kevin's reaction when Faith passed him the food. He was like "HUH?! I didn't ask you all to da pao(take away) dinner for me!" But he still took it anyways and sent me home safely.Thank you! I feel guilty already he keeps fetching me and Faith here and there.



Let's talk about yesterday. Yesterday, Kevin and Faith were supposed to pick us up at 3.15 but they were late. They came at around 3.30. In other words, we were late for EduCell. For service, the songs were different today. HOWEVER I was familiar with three songs. One was the "take take take it all" song and the other two were "Rain Down" and "Running After You". I have "Rain Down" and "Running After You" that's why they were familiar to me.



The chairman James Chia (he has the same surname as me!) and Pastor Joyce did sharings. Two missionaries, Nellianne and Tim, did the speech yesterday. They are newly weds and are happy serving God together.



After worship, we had refreshments outside, as usual. There were drinks and cakes. Nice. Faith then decided to go to Broadway for dinner. I had fried squids with chips. I couldn't finish so Nic and Kevin helped me finish them. =P.



After dinner, Kevin sent us home. Midway, we were side by side with Max. When Kevin drove next to Max's car, Annsley and I kept waving at them. Then Max will drive faster. Then Kevin will speed up to be next to Max again and Annsley and I will keep waving again. This goes on and on until Kevin turned right at a junction while Max went straight. Damn stupid lol. We managed to reach home safely, again.



FRIDAY. Annsley and I didn't go for cell because Annsley's cough got worse. We spen the whole day watching 3 movies. The Sweetest Thing, Maid in Manhatten and I, Robot. Nice!

thursay thursday thursday

So. My blog has a fan. Justin. HUH?!?!?!?!?! Please la no la my blog's pathetic now. I'm no longer posting pictures in my blog. And that sucks. TOTALLY. Nothing much happened yesterday. Oh wait no. A LOT o things happened yesterday. And here I go!



I woke up at 11.55. As usual. Went to shower and all and OFF WE GO! Yep, Twinny and I headed off to Westfield Carousel for grocery shopping. We were told by Auntie and Uncle to buy winter pyjamas. Why is it called winter pyjamas? Because it's AWFULLY thick.



There weren't many to choose from. Oh, oh, we were at Target by the way. The first one I saw was a blue one with snoopies on it. Yep, more than one snoopy printed on that pyjamas. First thing that came into my mind was Aunty Siew Khim. My mum's youngest sister. A very devoted Christian and a huge snoopy fan.



Then I walked further. Second pyjamas was a green and pink and red one. First thing that came into my mind? No, not christmas. WATERMELON. I walked further...and the last one on that row...GARFIELD!!!!! First thing that came into my mind? ME! A new Chrisitan (I don't know what you call people who just joined the Christian family but ya that's me) and a HUGE Garfield fan. Problem was, the smallest size was size 12. ARGH.



I continued walking and saw EEYORE. Smallest size was...I don't know. Somewhere far from 12. Why are the pyjamas all so big????? Twinny and I walked round and round that rack wondering what to get. Those that had our size were ugly. Those that were pretty didn't have our size. In the end, I gave up. I took Garfield and snoopy. Both size 12. I'll just have to walk around the house with the pants hanging on my butt during winter. How so perfect. Twinny got one Betty Poop and er I don't know. Heh.



After that, I got my regular dose of mixed berry smoothie. I must, MUST, get one large cup each time I'm at Carousel. Then Twinny decided that we should get our lunch done and over with. So I bought pizza. She got her Subway. The extra long one.



hen we went to woolworths. Grocery shopping! I was looking around for Joel because Twinny said he's working yesterday. Oh Joel's this guy from school. So I got one bag of 4kg of potatoes, 250g of diced bacon and mayonese. And twisties. And a box of tissues. And two sets of DVDs. Each set had 3 movies in it and each set cost $19.99. Cheap deal isn't it? I had Garfield the Movie, Cheaper by the Dozen, Catch the Kid, I, Robot, Independence Day and some Tom Cruise movie. Twinny bought alot. I've forgotten what she's got but it's mostly for cooking. Lol. My stuff was a total of about 60 bucks plus.



We then pushed the trolley around Carousel. Twinny got her chopsticks for her hair at an accessory shop. We walked pass Boost and Twinny got thirsty. She wanted some berry smoothie or something of that sort until she saw this Acai smoothie thing. It's supposed to be good for your health and it's supposed to be some kind of a berry. So she went on trying it and got a large cup.



While waiting for her drink, one lady gave her something to try. I don't know how to describe it but it's something like a sauce you have to drink. Just one small tiny winy cup. Beside that cup was a thin slice of orange, both on a small plate. Twinny tried a small sip and her face turned sour. She asked me to tried and so I did. It was...ARGH gross. Then Twinny was like..."MY ACAI SMOOTHIE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A LARGE CUP! DIE!" In other words, she doesn't know how to finish it if the smoothie's gonna turn out bad.



When she finally got her smoothie, she took one sip and everything was silent. "EH! IT'S NICE LEH!" That sentence broke the silence. I tried and hell was she right. Immediately I went to order one cup too. Oh one thing special about their service was that they'll take down your name and when your drink is ready, they'll call you by your NAME. Cool eh?



I was served that small cup of thingy and I just drank the whole thing at one go in disgust followed by the orange which was supposed to take away the taste but mine didn't. Only when I got my cup of Acai smoothie then did the taste go away.



We slowly pushed our trolley all the way to Coles. On the way there, we passed by this shop selling CDs, VCDs and DVDs. Twinny stopped to take a look and I started my coughing spree again. Each time she talked, I cough. Each time she patted my back, I stopped. And when she tries talking again, I start coughing again. To Twinny, it was so hilarious that she couldn't stop laughing. And she laughed till she cried. Smart.



When we finally moved on, we passed by the handphone shop where I saw my phone the first time. I went "let's take a look at my phone!" and turned so abruptly that I nearly whacked a lady with my trolley. THAT's according to Twinny and she couldn't stop laughing again. As I saw my phone on display, I felt proud of myself again for choosing the right phone.



Felix was researching on phones the other day and my phone had good comments and my phone's ratings were 8.4 for design, 8.0 for performance and 8.0 for something else. The ratings were actually one of the bests for Samsung. Man I love my phone.



After having enough look at my phone, we continued walking to Coles. It THEN struck me that we were pushing a WOOLWORTHS trolley going to COLES. Twinny was saying it's ok, just cover the Woolworths logo and push the trolley in because Coles' trolleys were similar. Smart move, Twinny. And so I made her push the trolley in.



Guess who we saw inside? TING! AND ANOTHER CHURCH FRIEND! We went up and down every row and I was desperate for my half a dozen of eggs. When I finally saw them and got them, I placed them on the trolley as if they were babies. I was just very scared of cracking them. I also got another pack of chewing gum. A pack of 6. Another good deal. Yes, I'm a chewing gum addict. NOT because Singapore banned chewing gums. I had that addict since young even when my dad had supplies of it for me almost everyday.







Ok, fine not almost everyday. Only when my dad visits Malaysia then will I get chewing gum everyday until he runs out of supply again. After we finished shopping at Coles, we called Aunty Lily to tell her that we've got so many things in our trolley that we don't thing we can make it home ourselves. Indirectly, we meant for her to fetch us home =P. I'd never love another homestay.



When we got home, I called Michelle to find out that cell will be eating out for dinner. I looked at my 4kg bag of potatoes and went AAAAAH!!!!! Sigh. At night, we watched Cheaper by the Dozen and Garfield the Movie. That's how we spent our thursday.



Shall stop here. Too tired to go on again. Uh, no I'm not sick anymore. Maybe just a tinsy bit but it seems non-existant to me. Oh wells. Will blog again another time. Tata.

Home can still mean fun (=

I'm back to blog! Where did I end off again? On sunday, that's right. Yep, my day ended with my parents' and God's blessings. Nothing could be better. I've put God to the test and He's shown His power. Awesome.



I didn't do much on monday. I was too sick to do anything. My throat didn't hurt anymore. I just had soar throat and a little cough and still had runny nose. My mum called to ask about me and she kept insisting my voice changed and that I was still sick with cough. I went "haiyo! It's only been 24 hours how can I be fully recovered? Don't so kan chiong la!" I ate porridge for breakfast AND lunch. During dinner, Aunty asked Felix to buy Hungry Jacks take away. I had some burger that had bacon and alot of cheese but all I tasted was...the saltiness. Sigh. Even yoghurt tasted bland.



Tuesday I woke up only with runny nose and cough. I nearly lost my voice though! I almost couldn't talk. For lunch (I woke up too late for breakfast =P), I had bee hoon soup while the rest had rice with curry, luncheon meat and so on. It was so so tempting! For dinner, I begged Aunty for normal food (I was hinting on curry) and she agreed! Finally I get to eat solid food! What was more fascinating was that I could taste the curry!!! AND the luncheon meat! I have to say I recovered quite fast. I had fever on sunday and it subsided after only 2 hours of sleep. And I regained my taste only within one day. How cool is that man. I must say, again, it's the power of God. I've never taken THIS fast to recover from a sickness. Thank you God!



TODAY. I woke up at around 8 coughing like mad. I refused to get up because I've only slept for about 8 hours which is insufficient for me now that I'm having my holidays. After coughing for God-knows-how-long, I finally went back to sleep, waking up to Felix's voice at around 11.45. I woke up and showered. Man I loved the hot water.



When I got out of the shower, I found Felix watching movie in the TV room. Aunty and Uncle were out. So I took one yoghurt bar and joined him. He was watching Lord of the War or something. It was close to the ending already by the time I joined him. So after that movie, Felix played A Series of Unfortunate Events.



Minutes after it started, Aunty and Uncle came home and Uncle asked him to restart. The movie was good la. Unique plot. Dead serious. I had curry again for lunch with rice and other dishes. Annsley's sick so it was her turn to not eat =P. For the rest of the afternoon, other than finishing the movie, I rested in my bed. I wanted to sleep but couldn't.



At around 5+pm, Asher called Felix and Felix realised it was Asher's birthday today. I thought Felix was going out with Asher so I told Felix to wish Asher a happy birthday on my behalf when Felix told me Asher's coming over to our place for dinner. I was like...YAAAAY! MORE COMPANY! For his birthday, Asher got 5 small easter chocolates xD.



Dinner was curry, mushrooms (man the mushrooms were heavenly), vegetables, fried eggs, roasted meat and char siew. Splendid dinner. After dinner, I went to watch TV again. At around 9.30, Vee Jun was said to come anytime. So everytime Aunty hears a car, she will tell Felix Vee Jun's here. So Felix will scoot out, with me tagging behind (scooting too). First time, it was a fluke. Second time too. By the third time, Felix was a little irritated but the third time was true. I jumped up and scooted out just in time to see Vee Jun walking in. In other words, I didn't get to see his car (his mum drove him here). I was like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I WANT TO SEE YOUR CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". DAMN.



I continued watching tv while Felix, Asher and Vee Jun prepared to go out. At 10.30, the finally left. It is OB-VI-OUS where they were going at this time; clubbing. HAIYO. But then again, it's Asher's birthday so they're excuse. *shakes head*



Ok I'm dead bored with nothing to do now. Stephen's leaving his house in about one and a half hour's time for a trip down south and he won't be going for cell this week. Maaaaan I'm so gonna miss him. I'm gonna miss this bro's presence for TWO weeks man. Sigh~ And next week I'll get to eat the creamy pasta he said he's gonna make for cell! *crosses fingers*



Alright I better go off to sleep now. It's 12.26 already. Spent close to half an hour blogging. Cool eh?

Tuesday 18 April 2006

Received both my parents' and God's blessings.

Ok where did I stop from the last post? Oh um...Yep, we met Nicholas at the bus stop and his arrival was really loud due to his japanese thongs. Nicholas led us to the lecture theatre and we waited outside. As usual, we missed EduCell. While we were waiting, we bumped into Yuki, Vivienne and Viki. How cool eh? We stood outside chatting and greeting people we knew in excitement.



When we could finally go in, we shooked Jasper's hands at the door and took the pamphlet from him because he was ushering that day. We sat down at the third last row(the last row was for the AV crew) and looked at other people's arriving, anticipating for more people we know because I already bumped into alot I know. For example, Makalipani. We saw Rafai, Gerwin and a lot more Canning College students.



The service started with worship like always. For once, I sang out loud like nobody's business. Drama was nice. Unique setting + lighting. Michelle got slapped literally. I felt the pain man. But then again, it's drama. BUT it still hurts! Argh nevermind. Sharing was interesting, and so was the speech by the pastor.



During the speech by the pastor, he asked those who's accepting Christ for the first time to raise their hands(or something like that) and I did. So during worship, me, along with all the others who rose their hands, were asked to go to the front and the leaders prayed for us. While making the decision, I couldn't hold my tears and so I started crying. There wasn't any reason to it...it was just...I don't know! The tears just came all so suddenly. Then worship continued as per normal.



OH guess what? Sean's in Curtin's Zion's choir team! I was like...HUH?! Something very VERY unexpected la can?! The choir team did a great job, though, aha.



After service, dinner was served outside the lecture theatre. There was curry, vegetable, fried wanton, blah blah blah. Overall: GOOD.



After dinner was TEA FUSION! Edwin took Annsley, Eline, Ye Teng and I there. I ordered my usual taro smoothie with oreo and sago again. Boon Whye saw and he told me that banana berry smoothie with avoe cado cubes is nice too. The whole gang, Eline, Ye Teng, Edwin, Annsley, May and Yuki played Dai Di. Of course, they took turns. Then Jason came. He won two games consecutively lah! Ok Jason IS pro. Then Dorcus came and taught them to play 6 people asshole DaiDi. They played like mad sia! Can scream some more!



Halfway through Edwin saw I had nothing to do(because I don't know how to play Dai Di) so he asked if I want to go to Time Zone. I said OK! and we went. I didn't go back emptyhanded! I caught a brown winnie the pooh! Oh man if only my internet would allow me to post pictures. Sigh. So yep, when I got back, they were still playing 6 people asshole Dai Di.



Nicholas joined in. They went on and on and on and on until 10++pm. What time did we reach Tea Fusion? I think around 8.30...yep. Power man. Transport home? Edwin sent us home (= Us would be Annsley, May, Vivienne and I. Great day man.



SUNDAY. Woke up with blocked nose with a terribly sore throat. I already had blocked nose during Church service but I didn't think it would get worse because I thought it was just sinus. Turned out differently. =\.



At 1pm, Felix, Annsley and I reached Kawara's KFC. We were supposed to meet Michelle at 1pm for a religious talk. Because of this talk, Aunty and Uncle talked to me twice about how I should think of my parents before I accept Christ and how I shouldn't be so...how to say...shouldn't just accept Christ because of influences. And because of that, I emailed my parents on saturday night.



Ok back to Michelle. Michelle was 15 minutes late so we met her at 1.15pm but only Michelle and May came out of Michelle's car. So Annsley went "eh? Where's Yuki?" And Michelle went "Oh shit I forgot to pick her up!" and asked us to wait for her inside KFC while she go and pick Yuki up. Lol Smart la ahaha.



So May, Annsley, Felix and I stayed in KFC stoning. Firstly because May and I were sick. Secondly because we were too....stoned out. Yep. When Michelle finally came back with Yuki, we started. We did something like bible study with three pieces of paper to fill answers in. It was intellectual, of course. Answered a lot of questions that has been bugging me since...God knows when. Not much restrictions. My parents are stonch Buddhists remember? So I still have to pray to my ancestors and eat what's used to pray to them. It's allowed because it's just paying respect to my ancestors and not worship. Phe-ew.



After Michelle talked to us, Michelle sent May and Yuki home while Felix, Annsley and I went to the CITY! Wait no we picked Vee Jun up halfway first. I was actually quite lethargic because of my sickness already but ya I still wanted to go to the city.



At the city, we went to Tea Fusion first and I bought the banana berry smoothie with avocado cubes. WOAH DAMN NICE SIA. It hit me like...BAM! Now I know why Boon Whye introduced that to me. Just that the next time I'll be having it with sago instead of avocado cubes. It was also the first thing I had for the day because I was so sick that I couldn't eat anything. I just felt nauseous.



When Annsley got her bubble tea, we walked to the city centre and started to look for my phone. We walked round and round and round and almost went to every single phone shop and every single phone shop didn't have my phone and I was about to give up when I remembered this alley had a phone shop so we went there.



YES THEY HAD THE PHONE I WANT! SAMSUNG E770! ARGH! IT WAS FOR $549 INSTEAD OF $600!!!!! Then Felix helped me bargain until $539. AND YEP I GOT IT. WOOHOO!!!!! Felix was playing with it like a small kid. After buying the phone, I went to withdraw money because I had no more money in my wallet. My card nearly got retained I tell you. My heart stopped beating for like a few seconds. Thank God it wasn't retained. Thank you God!!!



Then we walked around a bit more until I couldn't make it and we went home. My head was really close to bursting. When I reached home, I immediately jumped into my bed. I felt hot and cold at the same time. Hot because I felt feverish. Cold because of the fever. See how ironic fevers can be. For dinner, I only had three scoops of porridge. I just felt too nauseous to eat any further. Then I ate two panadols and went to sleep again at around 7.30. Woke up at 9 and realised I couldn't sleep any further.



When I checked my email, I GOT MY PARENTS' BLESSINGS! THEY EMAILED ME SAYING THEY'RE OK WITH ME ACCEPTING AND BELIEVING IN CHRIST JUST THAT I HAVE TO PRAY AND EAT WHAT THEY PRAY LIKE USUAL BACK IN SINGAPORE!!! ARGH!!!!! THANK YOU GOD! THANK YOU!!!!!



Ok I shall stop again. Yep, tired. I'm STILL sick. Just that not as sick as before, which is why I blogged a bit more. I think. Ok bye.

Sick beyond belief

Ok you canNOT blame me for not blogging because I've been busy + sick. So many thing have been happening! From potbless, to Easter church service to buying of new phone. Phew! And I'm still overwhelmed by the fact that my parents are actually ok with me accepting and believing in Christ when they are such stonch Buddhists.



Lets start from where we left the last time, as usual. Friday. Met Nicholas and Petrus at the Curtin University bus stop. Surprisingly, Da Yong and Derek were there too. We took bus 72/75(can't remember la) to the city. I helped Nicholas carry his backpack because he had lots thing to carry. His guitar, effects set and his backpack full of things.



We met Shelina and Jay at the Esplanade bus port and we started walking around to find shops that are OPEN. However, because it's Good Friday, EVERYTHING in the city centre was closed. So we tried our luck in northbridge. Nicholas went to find for Moon Cafe but luck wasn't on our side; Moon Cafe was closed as well. So we walked round and round and round NorthBridge and finally decided to pop into Saigon for lunch. Dominic came. I had my fried beef hor fun. Mmmmmmmmm. Haven't tasted fried hor fun for EONS man. Some had rice, some had noodle soup. Saigon's food is/are damn nice.



After lunch was TEA FUSION. I ordered my usual taro smoothie with oreo and sago. HEAVENLY. Mmmmm. Then they played cards. I only started playing when they played Black Jack. After a while, Derek, Da Yong, Jay, Dominic and Shelina went off for movies. Then Nicholas, Petrus, Annsley and I stayed a while longer before we headed off for Time Zone.



Nicholas played the racing car one as usual. I did my usual stuff too; catch Winnie the Poohs. Nicholas and I caught a total of six. Out of six, four were repeats; red ones. So I got one red one, Annsley got one red one and there were two left. Then at around 4 something, we left Time Zone to take the bus to Michelle's house for cell.



Cell was 5.30 instead because we were gonna have potbless so we pushed worship to an earlier time. We did our usual worship(singing) and the 40 Days of Community just that the songs for worship were different because Nicholas was leading instead.



Oh but before worship, Sumy and Nicholas had prepared games for us. We were divided into two teams. Each team has to send one representative and Sumy will show the representative a movie title and the representative will have to act out the movie title. I had tough movie titles! The first one I got was Independence Day and then I got Aviator. =_= HOW TO ACT OUT LAR!!!!! Sobs. Jason, Edwin and Annsley(who were all in my team) had easier titles like Titanic, Chicken Little and so on. SOBS. Ok I shall stop being so emo.



Dinner was nice. Potbless. Jason did fried rice, Averil did teryaki chicken, May did sushi, Wei Xian did salad, Edwin did curry, Sumy did meat balls, Michelle did green tea ice cream and Annsley and I did chocolate coated biscuits/cereal. Never had any better meals other than the ones my mum make everyday in Singapore. Everyone was snatching for the chocolate cookies Annsley and I made. Only one lucky soul got an extra container of the chocolate cookies. I shan't disclose that person's name. =P Oh ya I gave one of the red winnie the poohs to Stephen. The last red winnie the pooh was for Felix ^^. Edwin sent May, Petrus, Annsley and I home at the end of the day. Yep, we managed to reach home safely. Hehe.



By the way, Petrus' lap and shoulders are nice to lie on. I did that during cell. Hehe. Ok wrong, BEFORE cell, in Michelle's house.



Saturday! EASTER SERVICE! Annsley and I met a whole group of people at the Curtin University bus stop at 2.30. Met Edwin(canning college one, not UWA church one), Liong, Ye Teng, Eline, Coby and May. We took bus 75 down to Esplanade bus port and took bus 102 to UWA. Met Nicholas at the bus stop we got off. I immediately knew it was him because his thongs were so darn noisy lol.



Ok I shall continue tomorrow because I'm tired already. Don't forget: I'm S-I-C-K. Ok bye.

holidays make me feel fat

Ok I'm really really sorry for the lack of posts again but yeah I was depressed again lol. Now I'm exceptionally high. Ok maybe just now.



Let's start from Monday. Nothing much, skipped economics. Had applicable maths and calculus term 1 exam. Called my parents at night to ask if I should drop economics. Tuesday morning, dropped economics. NO ECONOMICS TEST! WOOHOO! Scored 37/50 for applicable maths exam and 39/50 for calculus exam. Had english exam; summary.



Yesteday, skipped both accountings and english. So I went to school only to play badminton. Bad thing was, I had a headache. Instead of a splitting headache, and instead of feeling like my head was about to explode, my head felt piercing pain. I played badminton periodically. Each time I play, I only play about half an hour. Usually I can play for up to 2 hours non-stop. Even coke couldn't help. The panadol I took only make me feel less pain but not painless.



Went to Curtin's bankwest with Nic at lunch time to get money. Saw Felix. Went down to the same bankwest again after school to get some documents signed because they somehow lost some of my documents. *shrug* This time I went with Annsley and we got lotsa ear rings and we saw Felix again. Stayed in the gym afterwards until 6.



Today, Felix has fever and headache. Sigh. While Felix was in school for his first tutorial, Annsley and I sat at the dining table copying recipes of what we could bring to potbless tomorrow. Then at only 10.30, Felix is back. He refused to go for his 12pm tutorial because his whole body was aching. I could understand how it feels because I felt the same yesterday. Then I got paper cut on my right middle finger. ='( Pain!



At 3.30, Annsley and I left for Westfield carousel. We got lotsa pyjamas at Kmart. I spent $126.60 la! Then I got myself a smoothie. I saw a Samsung E770 and I was very desperate for it I immediately withdrew the cash for it but found out that ALL the mobile phone shops didn't have the phone. Either they haven't ordered for the phone OR the phone's out of stock. ARGH! WHY?! Then I bought my optus prepaid top-up card. Then dinner was sushi with another cup of smoothie. Bumped into Hendrick and he got Annsley and I each an easter bunny chocolate! So sweet la x)



Kk I'm off to prepare food for potbless tomorrow with Annsley. Cya!!

blessed

Ok the first thing I did this morning was to switch my laptop on and check if the internet was working and YES it was. I got so desperate, I skipped my emails and came HERE to blog. FINALLY! I'll blog from what happened in the city on friday on because I really cannot remember what happened in school.



After school, Annsley, Shelina, Derek, Dominic, May and I walked to May's house so that May could get her things or put down some thing. Then we walked to Da Yong and Derek's house. We went to see Derek's and Da Yong's rooms. Derek got the master bedroom. Big lar can. Nic was in their house. Then Da Yong, Dominic, Nic, Annsley, Shelina, May and I walked to the Curtin bus stop. Derek didn't come along because he didn't want to go to the city. So anti-social. Haha nah just kiddin'. Then Nic went off to meet Peggy somewhere at the Curtin bus stop(yes it's humongously huge) and the rest of us took bus 72/75(cannot remember la) to the city.



The first thing in the city we did was to drink bubble tea at tea fusion. I had taro smoothie with oreo and pearls. It didn't taste as good as taro smoothie without oreo. Don't know la. May went off to do grocery shopping. Then we played cards. At first they played DaiDee so I sat on the sofa and read magazines. Then DaYong, Annlsey and I played bluff. DaYong lost one round and he got ALL the cards so there was no point in playing anymore. Ok la not all but most of them. Enough to let him know whether or not we are bluffing. We were sitting upstairs, by the way so the whole of second floor felt like it was ours. Then at around 5, we walked towards timezone.



I topped-up 50 bucks as usual and started playing the winnie the pooh machine. In total I caught 5. Gave all away because I have all of those designs already. Annsley has two, Shelina has two(reduced to one..you'll know why later), and May has one. Then Shelina and Annsley played DDR. Then Shelina and I played the car racing one. I lost my touch in all! Argh! Then at around 6.15, DaYong, Shelina, Annsley, May, Dominic and I made our way to the Esplanade bus port.



WE WENT BESERK! We ran all the way to the Esplanade bus port sia! Like run walk run walk run walk. But when we ran, we ran really fast AND walked really fast. But when we neared the esplanade bus port, I stopped running because I buay ta han liao. That's exactly what happens to my stamina after smoking for just 3 months. Argh. We reached our stand all sweaty. Like eew. Yes, eew. And guess who we saw at the bus stand? Stephen! I was dead happy. Missed him so much. He who's been someone like a brother to me.



On the way to Michelle's house in the bus, Da Yong kept bullying me. Then Stephen purporsely acted like nothing happened la! Idiots!!! Then when we got off the bus, we made our way to Michelle's house. There was one place where Da Yong went to walk on risen bricks and he lost his balance and fell and got himself a bruise. Smart la, Da Yong. Lol. After a very long walk, we finally reached Michelle's house.



We did a round of introduction, played the skittles game and started worship. For the introduction, we had to say our names, our favourite band/artiste and how many siblings we have. So mine goes as such: "I'm Rynetta, my favourite band is A1 and Blue. Yes, both bands have split. I'm an only child." If you have siblings in your family, you have to say whether you're the eldest or youngest or whatsoever. I shan't explain the skittles game because it's really complicated lol I just know I got to eat a few skittles ^^.



During worship, it felt..special. I felt God's presence. I felt blessed. 40 day community was as intellectual as ever. We prayed for each other and then, it was DINNER! There was avocado drink as usual, plain rice, potato salad, chicken and mud cake. Nice nice nice! Jason, sitting next to me, bullied me easily. ARGH.



Then Sumy went high. She was desperate to know who her angel was because she hasn't got any presents. She checked her bag and found nothing and went "ANGEL! THIS IS MY BAG AR!" Then she went into Michelle's room because she wanted to wait for her angel to do something. We, obviously, don't know who Sumy's angel was so Nic wanted to put left over paper plates into her bag. Then Michelle said "Wait! Must write something!" Then when Michelle was writing, Sumy jumped out of the room like a monkey to see if her angel was doing anything. It was so so funny that everyone was laughing like...like mad! Then seeing nothing in her bag, she went back into the room "disappointed". Then everything went back to normal. The normal chatting and gossiping. Within seconds, Sumy jumped out of the room again. This time she looked like..I don't know lol but it was really really funny. Everyone couldn't stop laughing already. Jason laughed until his stomache ached then Shelina said Jason looked like he was giving birth then everyone laughed harder. I laughed untl my stomache got cramps sia. Then Annsley laughed until she cry, got stomache cramps, backache and she leaned back and knocked her head on a table and got headache. WA LAO EH funny sia!!!!!



At 10, Crystal came by to pick Annsley, May, Stephen and I up. But Da Yong stayed near May so Da Yong came along instead of Stephen. Oh Stephen took one of the winnie the poohs because he wanted one really badly lol so Shelina got one less =P. On the way home, Annsley was still high. She was laughing at nothing sia! Scary can. Lol. We managed to reach home peacefully. Thank God.







Yesterday was church service day! K that's not supposed to be the start. At 12, Felix said he want to buy KFC for lunch. So Annsley and I followed him because we needed to do grocery shopping. So after Felix finished pumping oil at the petrol kiosk, we went to Coles and did grocery shopping. We went to every row and we were shopping really slowly. This is what happens after not shopping for weeks: $173.70. Smart hey? Yep, smart. Of all things, I forgot to buy easter cards. SUPER smart me.



We got home and had KFC for lunch. Petrus came halfway and was fed by us too. Haha see our hospitality! Then after lunch, I watched Haunted Mansion. It wasn't even scary, to be honest. I don't see why Singapore rated the movie back then. At around 3.30, Faith and Boon Whye picked Annlsey and I up for church service.



We missed EduCell because we were late. So we only went for church service. Sang, as usual. Then sharings. Then a speaker did the lecture. He wasn't a pastor, though. The lecture was on relationships. What destroys and builds them. After the lecture, some cried. The speaker cried too. And I did feel abit teary. It's hard to explain why. I don't know. It just came. Then songs again. After church service, Faith arranged transports for dinner!



At first Dinner was at some vietnam restaurant that's always packed. With 30++ of us, there obviously ain't enough tables for us. So Crystal changed the venue to Lido. No, not the cinema in Singapore but another vietnam restaurant. You could imagine the amount of noise we produced lol. I made new friends. Jeremy and Gavin. And Dorcus(something like that) and Mary-Ann and so on.



I had beef hor fun. The portion was HUGE man. Gavin and Faith had the same as me just that both of them shared one bowl. Gavin, the big vegetable love, dumped one whole plate of bean sprouts into their bowl when they were supposed to have only half a plate. So they ended up with more bean sprouts than noodles in their bowls. Faith doesn't like bean sprouts so she was like struggling throughout the whole dinner. And for me, I couldn't finish. So I gave the left overs to Jason lol you should've seen his face. He went "waaa this is how loving me cell member is". SARCASTICLY of course lol.



After dinner, Gavin sent Faith, Annsley and I home. I had fun. Real fun. I thought about those childish boys in my school, and realised what life really is. Not DOTA, not zion the lan game shop in singapore but what I'm going through now. I feel really really blessed.

Sorry!!!

K I'm really really sorry for not blogging for so long because I was in a really really depressed mood. No one made me angry. It's just like...you know sometimes where you do reflections and you get upset over some issues? Yep, that's exactly what happened to me. AND quitting smoking is NOT easy. At all.



So. Monday...Skipped English because Shu Ling went to visit a doctor and I didn't want to attend class alone. So I played badminton. I got 34/48 for last week's calculus test. Borderline A.



Tuesday played badminton 4vs4. You should've seen it. My team was Nic and I infront, Jay and Shelina behind back up. My group was neat because Jay and Shelina knew when we couldn't receive the balls so we made a good team. Opposite was Derek, Ah Fizz, and the other two guys. All of them wanted to take the ball but they always end up missing and the whole team was messy. It was darn funny. And because Jay and Shelina knew when to hit, they were like "fighting" when they didn't need to play. Farny hell.



Wednesday I broke down. I couldn't stand the depression. I had been putting a happy front on Monday and Tuesday and I got really really tired on Wednesday so I broke down. Halfway through accountings, I left the class and went to find Shelina in the gym. David reliefed my class so he wasn't teaching so it was kinda ok. But ya when Shelina came to me, we hugged and I started crying. Then when I played badminton at lunch, that black guy was smacking me with every opportunity he had. It was farking irritating. I wanted to play badminton to lift my mood a little and ended up being more angry.



Today. Skipped Econs again today hehe. Played badminton with..uh..Annsley, Fizz, Petrus and...I don't know la! But at 5, there was only Nic, Petrus, Annsley and I in the gym. We guessed that everyone else in the college most probably went home to study. The other half of the gang went out to buy food lol and didn't come back. Nic found my weak points and said he can pair up with me best now that he knows when to hit. Learnt quite a few badminton lessons too lol. Left the gym at around 6.15.



Yepyep. That's about it. I'm in a better mood now but not good enough for me to rant rubbish. Cya.

Christianity

Church service was fun! At around 3.30 Gary picked Annsley, Dominic and I up at my place. We first had EduCell. Crystal was the "teacher" or something. It was about righteousness. Shelina was late haha. Then we had church service. I finally understood why Annsley doesn't want to sit in the front row. The band was deafening. It was fun, though. Nic and his friends were high. Haha. The songs were nice. I think the songs were by Planet Shakers. *shrugs* The lecture was intellectual too. Teeheehee.



Dinner was at Taka. I had...um...some chicken with omelette thing. It was nice la with all the wasabi and stuff but I was seriously not hungry. I finished only about one third. Dominic and Shelina helped me with the rest =P. Max was like complaining about why his food was late and stuff lol. Pepsi max! After dinner, Gary sent Nic, Dominic, Annsley and I home. Enjoyed bullying Gary. Heh =P



Watched like...three movies today. First was Brothers Grimm(only the second half), then was On The Line with N Sync members in there and lastly Passion of the Christ. Damn depressing. Then Uncle drove us to Bentley centre to withdraw money. Now back at home. Stoning out. Better study tonight. I don't know why but it's just the urge to study. Applaud please. Thank you.

hehehe

I bet my life has never been so happening in Singapore before. I doubt any of my ex-classmate's life would be as happening. Remember I went to the city last friday, saturday, sunday and this wednesday? I went again yesterday! HEHEHE



Kk let's start of with thursday first. Once I reached school, Nic and I met up to exchange shoes lol. It felt really really weird because his shoes were really really lose even after I wore a super thick pair of socks. I was already late for my calculus lesson but I couldn't run with the shoes so...I had to walk fast.



Calculus test was quite ok. Didn't know about one or two questions. I think I lost a total of..8 marks? Yep. I've got to start downloading past year's term 1 exam(test actually) papers. Practice time!



After calculus, I went to the gym as usual. I couldn't play badminton because I was still wearing Nic's humongous shoes. I tried playing a while but I couldn't run for balls that were close to the net. When Nic finally came, I exchanged back my shoes...obliviously to his emotions. I finally could play properly but after a while, I saw Nic really really sad. I went up to comfort him. So did Shelina and Annsley. I went to the toilet and got a whole bunch of tissues for him and went "this is enough for you to cry a river! Go ahead! Cry!" Everyone laughed. But him. T_T So Shelina told me to play badminton the ballerina way. I was waiting and waiting and waiting and I finally got a soft ball and did the ballerina way. Everyone, including me, laughed. But him. T_T Then someone let Nic play because that someone had to go or something. He started smashing. WOAH damn scary arh!!!!! I skipped econs because I wanted to try my best to cheer Nic up. So did Shelina. We were like so happy when we finally saw his face crack into a little small grin.



After lunch, I went for applicable maths. Same thing; matrices. It was so easy I just spent the whole lessong pressing the calculator for answers. It WAS what we were supposed to do but we were also supposed to write down workings and answers on a separate piece of paper but I just wrote it on the question sheet. Too lazy la haha.



English lesson. STRESS! REPORT! I went around pulling Sean's shirt going stress stress stress stress, about to go crazy. I was pretty noisy I guess =P Sorry ar. Whene we finally started writing the report, my pen never stopped. I kept going on n on n on n on. Wrote 738 words. Just nice between the limit of 500-800 words. I spent one n a half hour out of the one hour 45 minutes we were given. Heng sia.



After English, BADMINTON! Played with Lani, Hendrick and Eline. Lani was super good. She hold FOUR degrees in University of Sydney ok! Dun pray pray ar! She's really smart sia. She got 98.6 for her TER. *kneels down n worship* But then again, without love, whatever you accomplish means nothing. ^^. Eline and Lani trained me and Annsley. We kept trying to smack. Annsley did about 3-4 time. I did their way one time and my way about 3 times. The smack I can do(back hand), alot of people can't do. But the smack I can't do, ALOT OF PEOPLE CAN DO. SIAN AR.



At 6, we...went home ^^



FRIDAY.Went to school early to play badminton. Only saw Sean. I ate first then went to buy coke. Then when I went back to gym, I saw the aboriginal guy. Uh his name is uh..erm..ah...errrr...ARGH I GIVE UP LA SORRY LA. He was revising for his human biology so I sat down quietly drinking my coke. When he was done, we PLAYED! Then Nic came. Play. Then Eline came. Play. Shelina wasn't in a very good mood. Sigh. I comforted her all the way back to her class. See I so good hor? Hehe. Ok I'm going high. Sorry lol. Then at 10.50, I went for accountings class.



It was about depreciation assets again. I understood abit more this time. Gotta practice later. Didn't do much. Didn't talk much. The malaysian guys behind were gossiping about Nic. Like what the fark they didn't even know the whole situation and they were jumping into their own conclusions. They said all Singaporeans should be damn clever which is utter bullshit. Bah heck shouldn't stoop myself like the way they do.



Lunch! Continued playing badminton. Lotsa people came by. William, Karen, Jimmy, Rio, and some guys from my econs class. RYAN SMACKED ME RIGHT IN MY THIGH SIGH. Fizz was damn happy some more. I-di-ot.



English...I got 13.5/20 for my presentation. I scored damn high for the presentation section but just because my palm cards had too much info then...ARGH. Was supposed to do some questions on convicts but I was too tired. Hehe.



SCHOOL DISMISS! WHO WANNA GO CITY?! ME ME ME ME ME!!!!! In the end only Dominic, Shelina, Annsley and I went. Jay wanted to go with ShuLing. Petrus had to be home early. DaYong and Derek got test from 5-7. William had er his own reasons hehe. At the city, we drank Tea Fusion. I had a large cup of taro smoothie then a regular cup of durian smoothie. Very nice ok. Then went to timezone. Caught three more winnie the poohs! Weeeee! Then we left for Esplanade bus port.



Dominic, Annlsey and I took bus 102 to UWA to meet Michelle. Shelina went off with her friends. We met Michelle at the caltex station and went to her house. We started with a round of introduction. Both Dominic and I are unidentified because we don't know our blood type lol. Then we did a game of who has the coin. Then worship. Then prayers. Then the 40 day community thing. It was enriching. Learnt lotsa stuff. Life, is about love. (=



Dinner was nice. Jason's rice was nice, Avril's tang yuan was nice, Michelle's avocado drink was nice. Didn't manage to try the ice creams =P I also had lotsa fun whacking Stephen and vice versa. There was once I slapped his back and he told me it was painful for a girl like me lol. And I seriously thought it was just a light slap. Hehe sorry la. Then at around 10.30, Crystal sent WeiSian, Dominic, Annsley and I home.
