Monday.

I'm here to blog about Monday. Sigh my blogging has became a little monotonous. Pardon any grammatical or spelling errors because I'm not say in a very good mood now. Monday to me doesn't exactly mean Monday blues. I don't usually have Monday blues. Monday to me just means a long day with lotsa short periods. I don't dread it, neither do I anticipate it.



So Twinny and I took bus to school. First lesson for me was ELACS. Shu Ling did her presentation. She improved a lot this time. After she presented, we went toilet together. Eve then talked about how we should and should not present. Things I've heard for MILLIONS of times. She gave me back my score sheet and I only got a freaking 12/20. Compared to Jan, she's really strict. She spoilt my day big time.



After ELACS was calculus. Sat with Ma Ning as usual. Chat a little...did work. After calculus, break. Went to the gym. Didn't play badminton because I had no lesson after break. When everyone left for lessons at 11.05, I played. With Nic. At 12.05, I went for Applicable Maths. Learnt a little more counting techniques; combinations. After applicable maths, go back gym. Played with Nic and others. Called Edwin to ask if he wanted to eat dinner in Northbridge. He said ok, meet me in Northbridge at around 6.



After lunch, ELACS. Did some practice on a test we're going to take on Friday. I refused to practice because I was tired and bored. I just stoned around with Shu Ling. After ELACS, accountings. Test. Screwed up theory. Hopefully I'll do well in the practical section. After accountings, go back Gym. Nic said he's not going to city anymore because Kevin's going to pick him up for Joshua's birthday celebration. After seeing so many celebrations, I wonder who would actually remember my birthday and do the same. I doubt any.



I called Edwin to tell him I'm not going anymore because nobody was going to the city with me. Edwin then said he would fetch me from my school at around 6.. So I decided to go again. At 5.30, the gym was closed so all of us went to the library. Nic, Ryan and I sat outside the library munching on my leftover pistachios. At 5.55, I went, with Da Yong and Derek, to Curtin bus stop to wait for Edwin. I called Edwin to ask where he was. He said he just left office. =_=. He said he'll reach in about 10 minutes time. At 6.15, he finally reached. Da Yong and Derek walked home while Ryan and Nic walked to their bus stop stand.



Edwin drove to a place in viewpoint to see if the italian restaurant was open. Nope, it wasn't. We drove to Northbridge to see if Young Joe's was open. Nope, it wasn't. In the end we ate at Hog's Breath. Hog's Breath IS nice but the sad thing was I prefer pasta. So people always say Hog's Breath is better than Young Joe's but I prefer Young Joe's.



I ordered spare ribs with mushroom. Medium-well. The spare ribs were nice. So were the mushrooms but Aunty's mushrooms are a lot better. The one thing I liked about that restaurant were the decorations. They had old pictures, old car number plates, old everything. Basically the theme was retro. The songs played were old too. When we were done, I gave Edwin money to pay for my meal. He refused, again, and insisted on paying for me. Sigh. Afterwards, we went to time zone. No new toys.



Go home!

Monday 29 May 2006

Sunday.

Let's talk about Sunday! I'm no longer gonna blog more than one day in one entry even if it means to delay the whole process. I'll most probably just blog more than once a day and edit the time and date. Haha but you'll never know unless you take special notice.



On saturday, when we were having dinner, Ryan told me he was going to go to the city library to play the piano. He was asking everyone who could go. Twinny for sure couldn't go because she had her grading. The rest weren't sure because they didn't know what time they were gonna club until and what time they can wake up. In the end, only Edwin and I confirmed with him we were going.



I woke up at around 10.40. My stupid phone alarm didn't ring at 10. Thank God I automatically woke up at 10.40. I went to shower and got myself ready and waited for Edwin to pick me up at 11.15. As usual, he was late. It's no the first time and if that goes on it can be quite irritating. He times himself without looking at his speed. God save me. At 11.45, Edwin FINALLY came. Twinny and Felix were already home from grading but Twinny didn't want to go because she wanted to buy guitar. The thing was, every guitar shop was closed so they had to resort to buying guitars online. Luckily she didn't want to go. Having Edwin hogging the piano the whole time is enough.



Edwin went the wrong way. Instead of going to Ryan's house, he went to the city direction. Twinny called and said I left Ryan's scores at home. Please la she didn't even tell me where she left it. My day started out really terribly. It's ironic how Edwin says his sense of direction was very good. So we went all the way back home and I took the scores plus two panadols. The headache I was getting was worsening. So after I got my stuff, we were finally hitting the road again, this time in the right direction. HOWEVER, when Edwin reached Applecross, he went the opposite direction. He ended up making a u-turn and went to Ryan's house. He was one hour late this time. I think I'm becoming more and more like Alicia; impatient about time.



So we finally reached the city and one plus. We were supposed to reach there at 12 plus. Thankfully Ryan said to meet at one. But we were still late. THANKFULLY the others weren't there yet. So we went up to the second floor and I found the piano room. When they wanted to book the piano room (for $10 per hour...kill me can?), we realised Ryan needed to use any card with a magnetic strip to book. So Ryan used..some card and booked two hours. Smart. It'll end at around 3.45 when we need to reach Carousel at 4. And Edwin thinks having good seats in the cinema is not important. It's free sitting by the way.



So Ryan and Edwin started playing. Just as I expected, Edwin hogged the piano most of the time. I only got the chance to play the piano at the start of it. Then Edwin kept playing and playing. I got pretty impatient so I took Ryan's scores and flipped to nice musics and asked Ryan to play. Those were the only time where Edwin didn't hog the whole piano to himself. But the thing was, Edwin kept disturbing. He spoilt Ryan's beautiful playing by singing (off tune), or playing on the right, a few octaves higher than the normal right hand score. I just felt like slapping him, asking him to let Ryan complete one song without him disturbing. ARGH. God grant me patience please.



At about 2, the guys reached. They only came in to say hi, then went off for lunch. At 3.20, we called them and only Da Yong was coming over to sit Edwin's car to Carousel. On the way to Carousel, Ryan slept a little. Ha! So funny. And Da Yong was so quiet. At Manning Road, I saw Kevin's car. Edwin kept insisting it's not Kevin just because he think Kevin's not a P plate anymore. Please leh, I know Kevin's car number plate can? Only when we reached Carousel the Edwin says he thinks that's Kevin. What's worse, he cut Kevin's line. It WAS quite funny but to think of it, it was quite rude too.



Once Edwin parked his car, I rushed off to say hi to Joshen. Missed him so much. The teddybear who stayed in our house for about a week or so when he was searching for houses. The teddybear whose girlfriend bought a kitten and let the kitten stay in our house for a few days. Then I saw Twinny. She was giving out the coupons for discounts on popcorns. Once she gave all out to the people she sold her tickets to, we went to buy our popcorns and went in. I bought a regular popcorn and coke combo and a choctop for Twinny because I still owed her $6. The queue at the place where the person checks your tickets weren't long. The queue INSIDE for the cinemas to open was looooong. When it finally opened, everyone rushed in to get good seats. I sat somewhere in the middle of the middle (haha) with Derek and his cell.



The movie didn't immediately start. We had quizzes, people walking up and down. After about 20 minutes or so, the advertisments started. Then, the movie started. I shan't be no spoiler here so all I have to say is, GO WATCH XMEN 3!!!!! It's a movie worth watching even if it means to pay more than $10 in Singapore or Australia! Trust me. Oh and don't just walk off when the credits start. At the end of the credits, there's this short one minute clip.



At the end of the movie, Felix, Asher, Twinny and I were supposed to go dinner together but Asher kept walking around doing dunno what. So Felix, Twinny and I kept waiting and waiting. Felix got bored so he went into the arcade to play Time Crisis (the shooting game). Asher came in to see. Once Felix was done with his game, we went out to meet Asher's cell group. We were then told to have dinner together at Chi in Vic Park. Immediately I was reminded of Chobits. Oh oh Boon Wai was also going!!!!!



With the help of Asher, we found the restaurant Chi. We had to split into two groups. Asher, Felix, Twinny and I in one table while the rest in the other table. In the end, two came over to our table. We ordered four dishes. Beef with ginger and spring onion, some wine chicken thing, sambal kang kong and some pork dish. Everyone except me ate rice. Felix and Asher ate the most rice. Then we finished all the dishes and they ordered one more dish. Some beef dish. Oh! Beef with sweet soy sauce. When we finished all the beef, Asher and Felix added rice into the plate of sauce and mixed it. I tried it and it was actually really nice. During dinner, the six of us crapped alot. It was a nice dinner. At the end of it, Felix and I ordered a plate of fried banana with ice cream. It was sooooo nice la can. Super nice.



After dinner, we decided to go Baskin Robins for dinner because Gelare's closed on Sundays. Felix droce Asher's two friends, Asher, Twinny and I there. I had to squeeze behind with the four boys. Baskin Robins was only a small distance down the road. Inside Baskin Robins, guess who we saw? Miaooooo-bin (Melvin), Piggyyyyy (Derek) and Yong Yong (Da Yong) with their cell! Haha so funny. Kept disturbing them. When everyone arrived already, we ordered our ice cream. We were going to order one big tub with 4/5 different flavours inside. I wanted cookies and cream, Twinny wanted Rum and Raisins. There was this other chocolaty flavour...something victoria or victory one. All flavours went well together.



My stupid spoon broke while I was trying to scoop for the darn hard ice cream. Had to take another one. When we were done, Felix fetched Asher and his two friends home. Oh ya one of Asher's friends is a undergraduate nutritionist. Weehee so cool. We all got home safely.

Sunday 28 May 2006

Saturday.

I'm not blogging one whole lump sump anymore. Today I'll be blogging about what happened on Saturday. It was one of the most well spent days I've had. Pretty much routine but half un-routine.



I woke up really really late. I guess it was about 11 plus. I only slept at around 2am the night before...or rather, that morning. I woke up to know that we're gonna have lunch outside as a family. Except...Felix wasn't going. Partly was because he didn't want to go and partly because he had to take care of the house with the construction worker around. Not that we don't trust him but it's really better to be safe than sorry. Amen? Amen.



We left the house at around...12. Sorry la, I really lost track of the time already. Uncle drove us all the way down to Vic Park. We were gonna eat Malaysian food! It was very near Baskin Robins. When I saw the menu, I wanted to order laksa, beef brisket noodles dry AND soup and almost everything on the menu! So Twinny ordered hainanese chicken rice, aunty ordered laksa, uncle ordered beef brisket noodles soup while I ordered beef brisket noodles dry. We all decided to share. So we were each given a small bowl.



Chicken rice came first. I tried the chicken. It wasn't that bad. I liked the sauce. Then came the laksa. It was niiiiice. But of course, katong laksa's way better. Waaaaay better. Then came my dry beef brisket noodles. It wasn't what I expected actually. It came with wanton mee. The beef had the tendons. No, I don't like tendons. They're so jelly like that it reminds me of fats. Lastly was the soup beef brisket noodle. It had hor fun. It was not bad la although I preferred my dry one haha.



After lunch, I bought a bottle of coke. The only reason why I wanted to buy it was because it came in a glass bottle. Singapore...don't have right? I've planned to make pink and black stars and place them in the bottle. Woohoo! Then we left the restaurant. Uncle went into Nando's to see what to get Felix for lunch. When we came back out, we went to target. Twinny and I didn't have things to buy in target so we went to Coles. I bought magazines and pistachio nuts. When we got out, there was this booth selling books. I saw this notebook containing black paper. The whole purpose was for you to use the silver ink. It was only selling for 7 bucks. BUY AR!



We left the place at around 2. Uncle went to buy lunch for Felix at Nando's and then we went home. Once I got home, I changed. It was too hot for me to wear skirt with the brown top. In the end, I wore my pink polo-tee and jeans. At 2.45, uncle sent Twinny and I to the bus stop because Twinny was taking her own sweet time when the bus was due in 7 minutes at the bus stop 10-15 minutes away. Sometimes her actions really piss me off. At the bus stop, we waited for bus 75. When it finally came and we boarded it, both of us were nauseous due to the glue smell at home. Our house kitchen was under renovation.



We dropped off at esplanade bus port and went to take bus 102. Our bus was coming in just 5 minutes and when we rushed down to lane C, we realized it was closed for renovation. ARGH! Can my life not evolve around renovations for just one day??? So we rushed back up and checked where bus 102 was stopping instead and rushed down to land D4. Thank God we weren't late for the bus. Hallelujah. We reached UWA in time for educell.



Educell was on persecution. How Boon and Garry sat with Twinny and I. After educell, I went to the toilet. Alphonsus opened the door at around 4.30. I was quite shocked at first because I thought Alphonsus belonged to the Curtin zone. His welcome was warm though. I liked the way he open the door and went "Come come! Welcome welcome!" His shake was firm too. People like Peggy, Alicia, Jazper, Kevin and Max invited me too. Max even went "You served last week, today's my turn!" Lol!



Twinny and I sat in the third row. Worship was 'One Way' and a few other songs. While singing 'One Way', I wanted to jump but my row didn't seem to jump. Too pai seh la me haha didn't want to jump alone although Twinny wanted to jump. The chorus was superb. Everybody's hand was in synchronization. ONE WAY! JESUS! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT I COULD LIVE FOR!!!!! Woohoo!!!!! Oh ya, Francis' voice was really nice on solo. Haha!



Jack was the chairperson. He was talking about his dogs Bruno and Ben. It was quite touching actually if he didn't keep laughing. Then offerings. Then sermon by Pastor Patrick. The way Pastor Patrick confirmed Jack about seeing Bruno and Ben in heaven was really...I don't know, nice? More than just nice. Sermon was about worshipping. By signing to, talking with and listening to Him. We also had Holy Communion. Church ended with worship as usual. At the end of service, everyone was telling Francis how well he sang solo. Bet he was flattered.



It took AGES to get Jay out of the hall. At first all of us went to toilet. When we were out and ready, Jay was still inside. So everyone went in as well. Then we chat and chat and chat with everyone around us. Then we said we really really had to go. Everyone went out except for Jay. =_= So we waited for Jay outside. Jay came out with Edwin. Edwin offered to send some of us to dinner. The some of us included Twinny, Ryan and me. We were eating at Kim Chi House!



We reached the place soon after. Bumped into Shelina making her phone call. We all wished her happy birthday. Shelina was on the phone with Jay, asking him where he was. After she hung up, we went up to Kim Chi House to sit first. We booked two tables for 11 people. When everything was settled, Shelina, Twinny, Edwin and I went down to Tea Fusion to buy bubble tea. I bought banana berry smoothie for Ryan and honeydew smoothie for myself. It was niiiiice. Halfway at the shop, the rest came. So once I got my drinks (including Ryan's), I went up. It took us a looooong time to settle down once more and a looooonger time to take order. Peggy, Betsie and her bf shared table with us because there were not enough tables else where.



We had "steam boat" and hot plate. The "steam boat" already had everything inside. The hot plate was for the beef. There were also two more side dishes. Almost similar to what we ordered the last time we came. When the food came, we thanked...Da Yong, I think, for grace. Then we just ate like hungry ghosts and didn't wait for Shelina's sister and friends. The dinner was superb. The beef was especially good, and so was the soup. Lovely.



In between, lotsa crazy things happened. Photo taking, Jay and his crap and so on. At the end of it, we were told to meet Shelina's sister and friends at Billy Lee. The thing was, when we got down, Shelina's sister and friends were at the doorstep of Kim Chi House. Wow. So we slowly made our way to Billy Lee. The cake was in Jay's hands. Or was it Da Yong? Hmmm...



At Billy Lee, Shelina's sister and friends ordered food to eat because they haven't eaten. We had a round of introduction. Name, country, school, interesting thing that happened in the week. I talked about Jay's match with the Indonesian guys on Wednesday. I only tried the fried squid. When the girls finally finished their food, the cake came. The cake was nice. I liked the biscuit base the best haha weird me. Dominic had a piece of cake with Shelina's name of it. Da Yong snatched it away. Haha wa lao eh super funny can?



At the end of it, Twinny and I went to Tea Fusion to meet Edwin. He then sent us home. Home sweet home!

Saturday 27 May 2006

Friday.

I'm currently pretty pissed but I shall just set aside the problem and blog. Due to popular demand, I wantED to blog yesterday but was too tired after reaching home at close to midnight. To summarize, I had two great days. Trust me, I did.



Yesterday, I woke up early. We left house a little late so we went to the bus stop where Ma Ning takes his bus. I was pretty high because there was steam coming out of my mouth. It was actually the second time I experienced that in Perth. I didn't exactly feel cold because I was wearing the woolen jacket Mummy knitted. She didn't purposely knit it for me to bring it here but she knitted it looooong ago and she wanted me to bring it here when we were packing my luggage. Further more, I was also wearing Mummy's long sleeve shirt. I felt warm and loved on the top while my legs were freeeeezing cold.



When we reached school, we saw Jay and Shelina. They didn't want to go into class so early so we walked along the business street. Jay wanted to drink water so I asked him to wash and fill up my water bottle at the water cooler so he could drink. Then Shelina and Twinny went for their class while Jay and I went to the library. At the library, Jay went to his class while I went off to the internet lounge to blog. Yes, my previous post was done in school.



So I blogged and blogged and blogged and halfway, I saw Petrus. Petrus came and sat beside me and we chatted. Then he used the computer beside me to check his emails. At 9.35, we left for the gym. The gym was empty and there were only two rackets. One more was destroyed like the day before. I'm pretty sure it wasn't on purpose. Petrus used the racket with the letter "G" while I used the silver one. The shuttle cocks were terrible too.



Soon after, Eline came. Both of us teamed up against Petrus. Of course, we bullied him. We took every opportunity to smash him. Close to 10.30, everyone started pouring in. Then Nic joined us. I went over to Nic's side. My loving cell member ma haha. Only left a few times to say that before we change cell (sigh). I managed to return a few smashes but they weren't say very good. We played game, and, of course, I lost to Petrus and Eline. My form just went down the hill since Wednesday. Don't ask me why.



I went for ELACS at 10.50. We finished watching Bend It Like Beckham. And again, the coach was sooooo cute. After the movie, we had to answer some questions to the movie. I did all by myself although we were supposed to discuss in groups because I didn't know how to translate my answers and what I thought into Chinese for my China friends. Wenfeng just kept using my answers the whole time when Linda went through the answers with us. Super funny.



After ELACS, I went to the gym again. Everyone was playing. I just sat down and ate my apple. Wasn't exactly in the mood to play. At 1.15, I went for accountings. We did statement for receipts and payments. They were pretty easy to me. Some people couldn't understand question 3. Some people like Ronald lol! So I explained to him and Ah Hui. Then when Ronald was done, he went to help Alex. It was quite a helpful lesson hey? Haha.



After accountings, I met everyone outside the library. I realized, then, that Da Yong, Derek and Ryan would be going for cell. I was so darn happy adding to the fact that Jay, Shelina and Dominic were going again. We took bus 99 and then a train down to the city. In the bus, Nic, Petrus and I didn't allow Annsley to sit with us in the back row. It was so funny, I tell you, you should've seen it. In the train, the girl Ryan sat next to kept looking at Ryan. Jay and I were laughing at him about it. The funniest thing was, Ryan didn't know what Jay and I were talking about. Jay and I were talking in Chinese and a tinsy bit of Cantonese. It's not that Ryan doesn't understand Chinese it's just that his Chinese ain't that good. C'mon la, Singaporean, your Chinese need to improve man. Haha. He only found out what we were talking about when we got off the train because I explained to him in English.



We then went to eat beside Pot Black. I ordered fried squid. Forgotten what the rest ate. The ice red bean with ice cream was superb. After that late lunch, Melvin went off and Shelina, Jay and Derek went to shop for clothes. The rest of us went to Tea Fusion. Dominic left his bag with Twinny and I while he went to find for his lost passport. Da Yong, Ryan, Nic and Petrus went inside the inside of Tea Fusion to play Dota. After getting my banana berry smoothie, I went in to see the guys play.



It was quite funny watching them play. At first Nic and Petrus were on the same team. Something happened and they ended the game beforehand. I think Da Yong's rank was too high or something and Petrus did something wrong. Then Nic and Da Yong on the same team. It was funnier watching Nic trying to kill Ryan. Nic's hero's attacks were like rain drops and everytime Ryan advanced, Nic attacked. There was even once where Nic backstabbed. Awww. Poor Ryan. Ryan also looked funny while he played because he was concentrated so hard he looked like a typical Singaporean boy boy. There was also one part where Petrus' hero grew in size, just like how Derek's did a few weeks back. Viagra. Haha! You'll know what I mean if you've been constantly reading my blog.



We left the place for time zone at around 5. We bumped into May. I went with May to buy vegetarian stuff at Utopia while the rest went to time zone. Guess what, Twinny and I left Dominic's bag at Tea Fusion. Smart. So when May was done with her shopping, we made our way down to time zone. Oh by the way we swopped slippers and I wore her scarf. At time zone, Nic caught a lot of toys already. Three big ones and a few small ones. Nic and Shelina played DDR. Dominic came and played the racing game. Nic exchanged two of the Winnie the Poohs for the chef Winnie the Poohs. Twinny got one cat one. At around 6.30, we left for Wellington bus station.



It was only when we were leaving for the bus station that we realized May was missing. I tried calling her twice but her phone was switched off. The other tried calling her too but to no avail. It worried us a little until we saw her with Stephen, Junie and Faith at the bus station. Phew. It really scared the wits out of me. We took the 102 bus at 7. The same thing happened, Twinny wasn't allowed in the back row with us. Ha! We also talked about ushering in the bus and so on.



We dropped off at the bus stop after Caltex. Faith and Junie waited for Angeline and Caltex while the rest of us walked in to Michelle's house. When we entered Michelle's driveway, Nic's and May's shoes (on my feet) made the most noise. We were like clik clak clik clak all the way. As soon as I got into Michelle's house, I removed my jacket. Michelle's house is just too cozy. Haha. We lazed around in the couch and everywhere until DINNER WAS SERVED!



There were curry, meat ball, vegetables, rocky road, roti prata, pizzas and a second round of super hot curry. Oh! Also pepsi. You should've seen Nic's face when he took the second round of super hot curry. His face was so totally red! Even redder than when he laughs too much or when he feels hot. He was even close to tears la can. I tried and it was indeed a little spicy. If I went on, I could've been in the same case as Nic. After dinner, we had a round of introduction and the exchanging of gifts for angels and mortals. We also wrote our thoughts on cell on a palm card. We had to write about what we've learnt and what we want to learn in another cell group.



When everything was over, transports were arranged. Nic, Twinny and I followed Crystal's car. Sigh I wanted to follow Boon Whye's car! Haha so long never sit his car already. The guy who introduced me to the addictive banana berry smoothie. At the end of the day, we got home safely.

Friday 26 May 2006

Happy Birthday Dominic! You're 18!

Yes! I'm blogging again! Ok I should stop getting so high about blogging constantly or else the start of my every post would be so monotonous that no one would ever want to read it again. Even myself. Ha!



Yesterday was pretty much a crazy day. First lesson was calculus. It was really really freezing cold. My MngJeans jacket wasn't even enough to keep my a tad warmer. It just left me freezing. Only when I went into the class then I felt better because the gas heater was on. Ma Ning asked me the same question; why I didn't go for lesson on tuesday. I told him, again, that I was really really tired that I ended up sleeping in the gym. At least it's half true because I DID sleep in the gym...for only about 10 minutes. Heh..



He showed me what was taught on tuesday and it was only some trigonometry rules. It wasn't something I regret missing because those rules would be in the tables and formula book which can be brought into examinations! Wahaha. The lesson was on integrating exponential functions. Harry taught in such a complicated way that I had to write another formula for Ma Ning in his notebook. I did that each time Harry introduces a complicated formula. Ma Ning said I could be a teacher. Bullshit la it's only because of the hlpe of Mr Kelvin Ng BK. ^^ So for the whole lesson Ma Ning didn't have any questions he stumbled on. Actually he did but it only took him matter of seconds to understand after he saw what I did. Harry was impressed. Lol.



After calculus, Ma Ning and I walked together to the recreational building. He went to the gym toilet as usual while I went to the gym. At the gym, I let everyone play first because I had no lessons next. When it was my turn to play, I realised I deproved from yesterday. I couldn't smash no more! I only smashed a few times! Say...3-4 times? Boohoo!



During lunch, we celebrated Dominic's birthday. He was blindfolded to the canteen, just beside the gym. There was caramel mud cake and pizzas for his birthday. So we sang happy birthday to him after his blindfold was removed. Dominic's friends were looking at him. I hope they're regretting. I mean, c'mon. You celebrate everyone's birthday, from Vivienne to Peony to Jason but not Dominic's. Dominic IS ALSO ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS PLEASE?! In the end, the boys only came over to wish him happy birthday and only gave him a pack of condoms. To think that we even offered a small slice of cake to vivienne and also sang her a birthday song because it was also her birthday. I pity Dominic, man, seriously. After lunch - applicable maths.



Shu Ling and Michael didn't go for class. You know what I mean. Those love birds...dating...sigh. That reminds me. Ma Ning, during calculus earlier on, suddenly asked me if I've ever had a boyfriend back in Singapore. I said yep, and asked him the same question. He nodded. Okok, back to the topic. So Ma Ning and I chatted before Peng came in. Today's lesson was on Combination. The previous ones were on permutation. When we were told to do exercise 7D, Chris came over and realised I haven't done exercise 7A, B and C. He was telling me I've got lots to catch up. He most probably haven't realised that I've learnt this topic before back in Singapore.



Oh by the way, I scored a miserable 28/40 for my applicable maths test. I could've gotten 38/40 if I were given more time to do and check. In fact, no, I could have gotten full marks if I concentrated on the drawings of graph. I was too distracted by the time ticking away while drawing the graphs. So I continued doing my exercises. Within half an hour I finished 7A,B and C. Not bad huh? Haha. I used Ma Ning's book because Shu Ling didn't come.



After applicable maths, Ma Ning and I walked to the recreational building as usual. And, as usual, he went to the gym's toilet while I went to the gym. I decided to skip ELACS because it was other people's turn to present. There was no point in me going to an ELACS class sleeping. Nic wanted to go class because there were no shuttle cocks left. They were all stuck either at the roof or at the lights. So Nic went to get a pole and one shot took three shuttle cocks down. PLAY AR! Nic trained me. He made me run up and down the court. Then he tried giving me high balls but I only managed to smash a few. That time I think I only smashed only about 7/8/9 high balls. My backhand smashes were clearly better. I also made Nic run up and down the court. Hehehe!



Then we played game with Shelina and Jay. I lost la, I was super off-form again. Then the two indonesian guys came. One was from Como. So they played game with Derek and Jay. It was hell funny I tell you. Jay was trying to distract the indonesian guys by making them laugh. And everytime they get distracted and laugh, they either cannot serve or miss. It was so blardy hell funny. When the Como guy had to go, Jay went "BYE!" and the Como guy went "Chee BYE!!!!!" Wa lao eh freaking funny.



When it was my turn to play game again, I obviously lost again. Terrible terrible terrible. Twinny and I went home at around 5.30. At home, I showered. Freeeeeaking cooooold!!!!!!!!!! Then we finished watching The King and I then watch Anna and the King. I slept halfway through Anna and the King. When I woke up after the show ended, Aunty was calling my baby. "Baby! Wake up! Baby!" Wa lao eh so pai seh.



I ended up sleeping at around 10.45. The earliest ever since school started.



Now, I'm in the school library. Woke up early as usual today although I have no lessons till 10.50. Bah. Hope Jay does well in his presentation, amen.

My heart n my soul..I give You control..Consume me from e inside out. Lord, let justice n praise..Become my embrace..To love You from e inside out!!!!

Yay! Do you realise something? I'm actually blogging more regularly now! But the ironic thing is that now I'm really really tired. Why is it ironic? Because when I'm free and awake and not tired, I don't blog. But when I'm busy and tired, I'll find a time to blog. Take it as a 'break' from business la! Haha. Now you know why everytime I blog I'm always busy.



I'm supposed to study for my accountings assignment later but the good thing is, I don't have to study. Why? Firstly because I've made enquiries about failing of subjects and I'm allowed to fail accountings as long as my overall average is 63 (the cut off score for actuarial science). Again, why? Because I'm only required to pass english and my prerequisites which are applicable maths and calculus. SECONDLY, because this assignment is an open book assignment so I'll just have to open my book whenever I'm in doubt. I bet my book will be open the whole time.



I wanted to put post-its on my accounting books but I realised I don't have any post-its with me now so instead of studying at the canteen, where it is really really quiet when lessons are on, I've decided to come here and give you guys an update of what I've been doing for the past two days.



On monday, I went to school as usual. I was really really lethargic. Try worrying for your powerpoint presentaion throughout the whole weekend, even during church and cell, and you'll know what I mean. I couldn't even sleep properly. Friday night, thanks to Edwin lol, I slept only at around 2. Saturday night I slept at around 1.30. Sunday night I slept at around 1. To some of you these times may be early but HEY I need my precious sleep man. AT LEAST 6 hours k? Lol.



First lesson was ELACS at the library. Yes, we're still supposed to do research. But having done MY presentation, I went out of the library immediately after I put down my bag and the teacher saw me. In other words, my attendance will be taking even though I wasn't not there because my bag was there! So Shu Ling and I went out to meet Shelina, Yukia and Twinny. Shelina had no class. She just came to school early like what I always do on wednesdays and fridays. Yuki and Twinny skipped chemistry. And I heard they've got practical.



So I sat around until 9.30. Shu Ling went off earlier. At 9.30, Shelina walked me back to my class at the library. Then we sat outside the library's computer lab and chatted until 9.40 then I went back to pack my stuff. Eve took really really long to let us go. Firstly 'cos she didn't notice the time and secondly because she had to call for volunteers to present their presentations on tuesday. I volunteered to be second.



When I was FINALLY released, Shelina walked me to my calculus class. Calculus was boring. Integration of trigonometry. Learnt that in Singapore, credits to Mr. Kelvin Ng ^^. Ma Ning was in doubt so I helped him a little. He seems to understand me better. Wow. Ok. No comments. After calculus, go gym!



BUT, the gym was closed due to career day. I only realised that when I walked pass it. Siannnnn! So I went to canteen to sit with my usual gang! Ok not my gang. My friends. We sat around, crapped. Nic and I joined table but everyone only congregated at one corner. Nic and I were saying how it's useless joining the table when everyone only sits in one corner.



Nic was desperate for food so I was like "buy ice cream la!" He said, "Okok! Come with me! Just come!" I was lost so I took my wallet and followed him. At the counter, where all the ice creams were, I told him flake was nice. I only saw him take one out. After he paid, he gave one to me and there was another in his hand. I was like...HUH????? He say his treat and refused to accept my money. Thank you! This is what cell members are for. Sharing is caring, vice versa!



At 11.05, everyone left except May, Yuki, Twinny, Shelina and some guys. May and I went to the gym to get info. Career day is something like...representative from different universities come and form one "exhibition". So I went to the Curtin booth while May went to UWA's booth. I got free gifts! Post-its from Curtin! Ok I shouldn't be fascinating over that because the courses are more important lol.



When we went back, everyone was leaving for the city and we had nothing to do so May and I went to the library. At the library, I saw ALOT of people! Shu Ling and her boyfriend, Rifai, Ryan and so on. As soon as we got there, noise started. We crapped and joked and talked so much that two teachers had to come to quieten us, one after another. Hehe so paiseh.



I left for applicable maths class at 12.05. We did permutation and combination. At least that's what it's called in Singapore. I mean, they DO call it permutation and combination here but they prefer using 'counting numbers'. I'm fine with both, really. The lesson was pretty boring. After the lesson? Lunch!



Nicholas was sitting alone at the table and I showed him the post-its I got and he wanted one too. So I went back to get for him. BUT, they ran out of post-its! Nic was so sad when I got back empty handed...haha no la just kidding. This time round, I treated Nic to ice cream. Flake too! He was complaining how he would grow fat eating so much of this ice cream. I went, "Good what! Can gain another one percent of fats and you're officially allowed into Olympics!" THAT, is true.



Then Nic, Petrus and Hafiz very mean la! Hafiz took my wallet from my bag and started passing to Nic and Petrus. It kept going round and round and round and they were really good at hiding it that I can't find it at all. I had to resort to screaming then they returned me. Paiseh ma, boys bully girl until the girl scream. So return lo!



After lunch was elacs again. The teacher brought us to the career day place. My second trip. The weird thing was, when I went there, there were more post-its! GRAB AR! I grabbed two. One more for myself (hehe), and one for Nic. I got more free gifts (a pen, a highligher and stickers), took pamphlets on ECU's performing arts and TAFEWA's photography and sat in one corner to wait. Linda saw me and passed me the keys to our classroom.



As soon as I left, everyone followed. On the way back, Nic was talking to Jan at the door of his classroom and I passed him one post-its. He got so high. Dorts. So we went back to class, to pack up and leave. Ha! Next lesson is accountings!!!!!



Accountings was...ok. John gave us revision on depreciation. After accountings, at 3.45, I met Nic and Petrus outside the library. We were the only ones left. The rest have gone to the city already. So, we went to Curtin's bus stop and took 99 to the train station and took train to the city. The whole time I was sitting in the middle of both of them. Bus AND train. Scary sia, scared they bully me again. In the end we only chatted.



When we reached city, we immediately went to timezone. Petrus and I watched Nic race with some guy. Obviously Nic won, even though he made a few minor bumps. Nic's just too good. Then I tried grabbing toys but spent $18.20 on nothing, other than one game of racing with Nic and Petrus. I was about to come in second one!!!!! But I crashed into the sides. Damn.



Twinny, Shelina and Jay met us at timezone. We took a very veeeeeryyyyy long time to decide on where to eat for dinner. In the end, we decided on Singapore Chinatown restaurant. At first only Nic and I eating 'cos Petrus, Jay and Shelina no money and Twinny ate already. Then I said I lend Petrus money first. THEN I said I'll lend Jay and Shelina money also.



The dinner was good. I loooooved the squid fried in salted egg. Woohoo! Nice! The beef was nice too, just that it didn't totally taste like beef. The tofu and sambal kang kong were good too. Loved dinner. At the end of it, we were still given desserts. I don't know if it's free or not but I suppose it's free because at the end up it the bill was only about $60.



During dinner, Peggy and her friend Mark (I think) walked pass Chinatown. Nic and I raced out to say hi to her. I was introduced to Mark. He used to be in Zion. I kinda guessed that because he dropped by UWA's Zion once and I saw. Peggy also returned $20 out of $30 to Nic. What happens? Nic wants to go time zone. Shelina and Jay went home first.



At time zone, I paid another $30. Nic grabbed only one toy. The cat, but bigger one. The time zone workers resetted the whole machine in a way that only one out of 200 tries will be successful. Of course, we didn't try that much. We let others play and then we play. We just had to be strategic. $40 for one big toy. Closer to it's original value ($50++).



We left time zone at around 7.30. Outside time zone, Nic played with my cat. Lol, yes it's mine. Nic gave it to me haha. He kept throwing the cat into the sky and I was very scared that the cat will fall on the dirty ground (the cat was white). So I was jumping around Nic trying to get the cat back. I had to fall before Nic returned me the cat =_=. We continued our journey to the bus stop.



On the way, we passed by Liu Fu. They had lion dance. At first we thought it was nothing much but there was a string of fire crackers. Nic and I were saying the fire cracker looked real. We waited, and waited and waited and, finally, after about 10 minutes, they lighted the fire cracker. It was LOUD. The ending was louder. Phew! My poor ears.



Petrus took train home while Nic, Twinny and I took bus 34. When I got on the bus, I realised the bus terminates at Curtin bus stop. In other words, no bus home from Curtin bus stop! Oh no! And it's dark outside!



Nic was giving alternatives. Whether to call Kevin or Felix. Twinny decided on Felix. Felix nagged on the phone. Nic gave another alternative; call Felix to say the bus goes to Manning road and call Kevin to pick us up at Curtin. Of course, we chose Felix instead. Not good to bother Kevin although I'd prefer Kevin to minus the naggings.



When we reached Curtin bus stop (Nic got off at his stop before us), the bus driver offered to send us to Manning road. Twinny and I were like DAMN! But aiya, we turned down the offer because Felix was already on his way to pick us up.



Felix came, picked us up and we went home! Home sweet home! Plus a bit of gunbound hehe.






Yesterday, Tuesday! First lesson was elacs. Aunty sent Twinny and I to school so we were super early. Twinny accompanied me and sat outside my classroom with me. Then Nic and Yuki and their homestay mates came. Nic and Yuki came over to talk to us. Nic was saying he planned to stay at home and watch the movies he download ('cos it was raining in the morning) but their homestay parents fetched them to school. Ha!



English lesson was...horrifying. Ok la, not that bad. I was the second to present. I stumbled at first at the start but it went on smoothly there after. Phew! Wen feng said I did well. Bleh bullshit. Hehe. The rest of the lesson I was stoning out while others presented.



During break, the gym wasn't open because it wasn't set up properly yet. So everyone of us were at the canteen. The guys were laughing at me for wearing flip flops but not my fault la I'm too lazy to wear shoes AND it's not too cold. Only 21 degrees, compared to today's 17 degrees. I'm talking about max temp.



Second lesson, applicable maths. Test. It wasn't too bad. Just that I didn't manage to finish the last sub-question which was worth 4 marks. Just pray that I score fullmarks for the rest! *crossing fingers* The test wasn't say too hard. It wasn't at all actually. Ma Ning secretly asked me for the answer for question two first subquestion. Ha!



After applicable maths, lunch time. Nic was in the gym setting up the net. When he was finally done, I played with him. I was off form. So long never play already. I played and stopped and played and stopped until around 2.45, I sat down in the sofa and slept. I was too tired. Been too worried about my presentation.



I skipped calculus. Too, too tired. After 3.15, where everyone left for class, I played badminton again. That short nap made me so hyper. I couldn't play too well but I was laughing at the slightest thing. At 5, I went home for tae kwon do.



I reached home at around 5.15. Fast man. I changed and waited in Felix's room. At around 5.30 I fell asleep on Felix's bed. Twinny was late again. I ate dinner first because we were going to the movies after tae kwon do. Felix was complaining about Twinny coming home late while I was eating. I just...silently ate my dinner ^^.



We left home immediately after Twinny finally came back. I didn't do any tae kwon do because I was too tired. I just sat down at the side and watched them do. Actually Tim looked quite macho doing his tae kwon do haha including the intructor Bruce although he's old ha! =X There was one part where Felix and Marissa kicked together and it looked really cool.



At the end of it, Twinny said she wasn't in the mood for movies because she was irritated by Felix. *shrugs* On the way back, Felix asked Asher if he wanted to join us for movies and he said yes so Felix picked Asher up first before we went home. On the way, when we passed by May's house, I asked Felix to say hi to May. He went, "HELLO MAY!!!!!!!!!!" So freaking pai seh la can? Don't know if May heard anything haha. Twinny slept in the car.



When we reached home, Twinny was ok already and said she would go to the movies with us. Yay! We checked the timings. It was 8.20 and the movie was 8.45. CHIONG AR!!!!! Off we go to Carousel!



Once we reached Carousel, Twinny went to draw money. Then we zoomed up to the cinema only to see a looooong queue. Then we realised that Da Vinci Code was FULL for both 8.45 and 9.30. SIAN JI PUA. We decided to watch Mission Impossible 3. After buying the tickets, Felix and Asher came from KFC. We then went to this fast food restaurant to buy snacks for the movie. Outside food's supposedly not allowed in the cinema but we were gonna smuggle it in!



Twinny and I had creamy potato. Before the movie started, Twinny was attacking the creamy potato like nobody's business while I was shaking my coke's gas out. When half the box of creamy potato was gone, Twinny was sick of it already. What does it mean? TIME FOR ME TO ATTACK AR!!!! We finished everything before the show even started. So my snack for the show was only coke. Ha!



The movie was pretty awesome. Some parts were quite stupid so only four of us were laughing while the whole cinema wasn't. Especially the part where the camera self-destructed itself and there was smoking coming out. I couldn't stop laughing at that. Haha!



At the end of the movie, Twinny and I were super high. We were laughing at the slightest things. Must've been the coke. The coke! At the end of the day, we reached home safely.






TODAY!!!!! Woke up early as usual. Didn't have 6 hours of sleep. As usual, TOO. Then I went to the library after Shelina, Twinny and Jay went to their classes. I blogged in the school library. Yes, this post started early in the morning. I blogged for only about half an hour and guess who I saw? Nic. NIC. Of all people, NICHOLAS.



Why my drastic reaction you may ask. BECAUSE NIC MANAGED TO HYPNOTISE ME AND I DIDN'T MANAGE TO FINISH BLOGGING! In the end we went to the gym to play badminton. We played using the school's racket. Ryan played with Nic first. Then me and Nic. Then Da Yong's rackets came. Woohoo!



Went for accountings at 10.50. Assignment. It was easy at the start because I went to all the theory parts and copied from the textbook first. Yes, it is an open book assignment. Or rather, open book test. The rest were quite ok. Didn't manage to do the general journal part. 20 marks gone. But hey, I don't need to pass accountings! Hehehe.



Ok I shall explain. For foundation, we need to pass our english, and get the average of the 3 best remaining subjects. And out of the 3 best remaining subjects, you only need to pass the prerequisites. But the average must meet your required score. K it's complicated but all you need to know is I need to only pass my english, applicable maths and calculus and get an average score of 63. Fullstop.



Lunch time, I played badminton too. Was so off form. Then Nic came and play with me. We played game against....Petrus and Dominic. Nic and I won! Woohoo!!!!! At 1.15, went for ELACS. I got 13/20 for my note taking and summary. Linda pasted a "goodwork" sticker on my paper! Yay! Thank you! Then we watched Bend It Like Beckham. Yes, in class. The movie was supposed to show us multiculturalism. Good thing I've watched it before. But watching it again was fun.



After ELACS, went back to the gym. Badminton club! Petrus and I went to the other court and played singles. Then two other guys took the other half of the court. I smashed almost every high ball Petrus gave me! Yay!!!!! Then Nic came over. Jay and Shelina took over. We played and I smashed and they, including Edwin, laughed at the way I smashed because I smash like I'm dancing. =_=



In between, May, Ryan, Nic and I sat down in one corner to sing worship songs. Er, Nic was playing with the guitar. It was for fun la haha. At 5, I went home!



Ate ice cream when I reached home. Dinner was pasta with auntie's lovely fried mushrooms. Then Twinny made sushi and Felix helped. Then Twinny made rocky road and I helped. Hehe kk am gonna go try the rocky road now. Tata!!!!!

stupid powerpoint presentation

Alright so...I'm here to blog again! Suprise suprise hey? Haha 'cos I've got nothing to do now. I was playing gunbound with my college friends. Ok no, don't misunderstand me. We only play because a few days ago we had nothing to do after school and we were all home, unusually early. So Nic and I were thinking of games to play. I suggested solitaire but it was only a two players game. So we decided on gunbound.



K so this morning I woke up at around 10.40. Twinny already left home. I showered and got myself prepared. By then, it was already 11. I started on my powerpoint presentation. I didn't know where to start with at first because I didn't organise my notes and my notes were in different sizes. Some a4, some a3. It was hell irritating, I tell ya, having a table flooded with notes in different sizes.



After highlighting the main points and labelling which came first and after, I finally started on my powerpoint. Black background, pink font. Perfect. My presentation was on 'Fall of Singapore'. I bet lotsa Singaporeans did that topic in my college. EXCEPT those under Jan. But even if Jan were to still teach me, I doubt she'd stop me 'cos she's clearly forgotten I was from Singapore, even when she was still teaching me. So yep! I got to do 'Fall of Singapore'.



The whole powerpoint took me about two and a half hour to complete. I had to still search for pictures to make the powerpoint slides look more interesting. There's this picture that's really funny. It's a picture of General Percival surrendering Singapore in 1942 but the picture's in colour. It's SUPPOSED to be in black and white but the picture was of a plastic figurine signing fake papers. It's in some war memorial place in Singapore's Sentosa. If you see my presentation, you'll get what I mean.



When I was finally done at around 1.45, I checked the timetable and realised I had to take the 2.12 bus at Manning Road. So I rushed and packed my bag and dashed out of the house. On the way to the bus stop, two missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ came up to me. They were obviously trying to convey The Message to me. So I tried my very best to tell them that I already have a church (or rather, I'm already attending a church) and that I'm rushing for time. They reluctantly let me go by giving me a card about their church. I'm sorry Lord Father for turning down your offer through these two missionaries but I really was in a rush! I ask for forgiveness!



I took bus 34 down to the city. When the bus reached Curtin bus stop, EVERYONE got off the bus. Everyone but me. I was the only passenger throughout the whole journey till the bus was like halfway there then a girl came into the bus, then two old ladies, then a mother and a daughter, then two guys and more and more along the way until we reached the city.



I got off at Esplanade bus port and started making my way down to City Library to meet Annsley and Yuki. I took the wrong way and almost ended up in Northbridge. Luckily I was clever enough to cut through the train station and get to City Library at the fastest speed I could.



At the lockers area, I bumped into a college friend. He asked where were my friends because last week I was with them when I bumped into him. I told him they were upstairs and I proceed with my locker. I got my stuff and went to level two and found Yuki and Twinny at the same spot studying.



My arrival distracted them. Damn. Sorry guys. Twinny started complaining about how Liu Fu made her so bloated and what they did and blah blah blah. I listened to my mp3 player. Then Twinny and I went toilet. Then I read a book on Elvis Presley as a soldier in Germany. Then Twinny and I went to disturb that college friend and Ah Ming. Then at around 5, I got so bored I went over to disturb them again. I had a longer chat with Ah Ming. At around 5.15, we left City Library.



I was SUPER hungry. I wanted to eat at Taka but both Takas were super out of the way. As we walked pass Gelato, I decided to have ice cream for dinner. So I got ferrero, chocolate cookie and nougat. Yes, three scoops. Then we made our way down to Tea Fusion. There, I ordered watermelon smoothie but I got watermelon milk tea. Argh. Nvm. It's still watermelon. Just lacked of the ice cream taste.



We then walked to Esplanade bus port to take bus. We reached there at around 6.05. The bus Twinny and I were supposed to take was supposed to come at 6.20 while Yuki's would only come at 6.35. While we sat down waiting, Yuki's friends came. Peony, Carrie and another girl. So they chatted and chatted. At 6.20, we went down only to realise we missed the bus. So Twinny and I had to take but 72. Thank God we were just in time for bus 72. Hallelujah.



We reached home at around 7.15. Felix was eating KFC. He couldn't finish his chips. What do I do? Finish for him! There wasn't much left la. The only good thing was that the chips were all soggy already. Hehe soggy chips/fries. Love 'em. Lazed around a little and decided to start editting me powerpoint slides again.



It gave me a blardy big headache I tell ya. At first I had all the super nice fonts in my slides. Then I was afraid computers without those fonts wouldn't be able to read the fonts so I tried opening my slides on Felix's computer. Just as I thought. The fonts all went back to arial and were too messy. I had to edit all the sizes all over again. Grrrr! No more fanciful fonts for powerpoints anymore! You guys will just miss out on the action! Serve you right for not updating your fonts!!!!!



Twinny's got allergy reaction now. Sigh. Poor her. Hope God heard my prayer. Amen.

Saturday 20 May 2006

one whole week of event man!

Okok too many things have been happening man. SO many that I have to do backwardsly again. Alright we'll start from TODAY! ZION! WOOHOO!!!!! I woke up at around 11.40 (yes I managed to wake up...you'll know why later) and went to shower. Once I got out of the shower, I had lunch, and tidied my room. My room was in a HUGE mess man, HUGE mess. At 1.50, Edwin called to say he's reached. So Twinny and I went to his car and I sat infront as usual ^^.



Edwin went to pick Yuki up because she had no transport 'cos Faith didn't reply her smses and Nic has already made his own way down to UWA. I really think we toured round the whole Waterford area because we didn't exactly know where Yuki's house was. So when we finally found it and picked her up, Edwin went to pick Janice up. We were almost half an hour late I think. Maybe even longer than that.



At UWA itself, Twinny, Yuki and I went to the toilet because we needed to get ourselves ready; tie hair tidy ourselves. When we got out of the toilet, we were just in time for briefing. By Mavis. I was assigned to do the sitting on the right, offerings on the right and refreshment. After briefing was done, Mavis talked to me presonally about how I should do the sittings, not to take certain things to heart and so on. When she was done, both of us went in and the bulletins were here!



Halfway folding the bulletins, Gary asked Twinny and I to attend EduCell. So at 3.50, Twinny and I went for EduCell. Today wasn't Crystal or How Boon teaching. It was some guy I've never met. Educell was quite short this round. Man I haven't been to Educell in ages. Educell was about what Jesus did as a peacemaker. At 4.10, Twinny and I left 'cos we had to prepare for ushering.



Instead of going into the lecture theatre, Twinny and I went to the carpark to meet Felix. I asked him to run he walked. He smart la. So when Felix caught sight of us, I made my way back to the lecture theatre first, followed by Twinny. By 4.25, Twinny didn't go and open the door. So I started asking around when the door should be opened. Then we had our positions and Twinny went to open the door.



When I was at my position, Johnny was sitting on the table, resting after so many rounds of rehearsal.

Johnny: "Hey, I've never seen you before. Is this your first time ushering?"

Me: "Uh, no, today's my second time."

Johnny: "Oh, I see. I'm Johnny."

Me: "I'm Rynetta."

Johnny (shaking my hand): "Sorry?"

Me: "Rynetta."

Johnny: "Oh, Rynetta. Where are you from?"

Me: "Singapore."

Johnny: "Oooh. You're name's so unique I thought you're from Indonesia and was about to ask if you're from Indonesia. Haha"

Both of us laughed and I started greeting other people as they came in. The only time I felt really useful was when Janice signaled to me, asking me how many seats there are at my side and I signaled back three. Heeheehee. I greeted quite a few people like Dimas, and a few people I don't know. I didn't greet as much people as I did the other time when I was standing at the door.



Worship was fun. We sang "The Time Has Come", "Take It All", "From The Inside Out" and I don't know what's the name of the last song. After worship, I went to the back to prepare for offerings. When Ivy was done with her sharing, us ushers were invited down to stand in our positions. We did a prayer and the offering bags were passed. I was responsible for collecting. All ushers sat down when sermon started. Pastor Joyce Chen did sermon today because Pastor Patrick was sick. Sigh. Everyone pray for Pastor Patrick k? =)



In the middle of sermon, Ning and I left the lecture theatre to prepare refreshments. We had a chat about me joining usher, how I find ushering, and so on. That actually changed my point of view on her. I used to think she's this quiet and easily provoked girl but she's actually a nice and cheerful girl on the inside. ^^ Glad to serve with her.



She cleaned the container while I placed the cups on the table. She mixed the drinks and I poured. Easy. No food for refreshments again. Sigh. Third week already. When we were done, we started walking around. I paced up and down the lecture theatre waiting for service to end. I was told that someone was doing a testimonial today. No wonder today's service seemed a little longer.



As everyone started leaving the lecture theatre, I went up to Wei Xian to pass him a present from his angel. I was introduced to his sister-in-law. =) Then I took some money from my wallet and dashed out to the Rezource booth to buy th Plantshakers' album. WOOHOO!!!!! PLANETSHAKERS! AND HILLSONG! YEAH!!!!!



Briefing after service. I asked about where to stand when worships starts. Everyone shared their view. In the middle of briefing, Boon Whye came to ask about head count. It was really funny 'cos he just suddenly popped up and everyone was staring at him. Garry was funny also 'cos he was saying how he couldn't see how many seats Ning was signalling because he didn't have his specs on, as usual. Lol.



After briefing, Nic, Janice and I went out to clean the refreshment table. The table was pretty wet. Nic cleaned the container while I wiped the table while Janice threw away the un-drank water. Then I went to change. And off we go to Taka for dinner! Twinny, Petrus and I sat in Felix's car. YES, FELIX CAME TO OUR SERVICE TODAY!!!!!



When Felix reached the city, we realised that we were not eating at the Taka near the train station so I had to call someone to ask for the exact location. Then we saw Edwin's car so Felix followed Edwin all the way into CPP. Smart.



At Taka, I ordered chicken karaage. Woohoo! It's so gonna be so good man! While waiting, we crapped. I was stoning out, going "where's my food...I need my food...why's my food still not ready..." I was practically whining all the way. Shall learn not to whine man. It's a bad bad baaaaad habit. Meanwhile, I went to take two plates of sauces. One mayo, one chili. Then when I sat down, I realised my mayo wasn't enough so I went to get more. When I stood up, my alarm rang, so I quickly went to take my food. FINALLY!!!!!



Felix stole one of my chicken. That id....boy! Kevin sat infron of me, facing me. So the whole time when I was eating, when he was waiting for his food, he was dipping his chopstick into my sauce and eating it. Siao one la he. When his alarm rang, he was so high la. Lol funny. And we all ate!



When dinner was over, everyone stayed in Taka crapping. Bijia was made to do the sailormoon hand sign. Haha freaking funny. Petrus was tricked by Felix to do some hand game. Dominic and Kevin played arm wrestling. We practically fooled around la. When Kevin won Dominic, the whole table was cheering. Sooooo noisy.



We were supposed to go Tea Fusion for bubble tea after dinner but too many people couldn't go and I was too tired so plan failed. Everyone go home! Twinny, Petrus and I went home with Felix. Petrus came to our house first because Felix was going out again later on to clubbing so on the way Felix can drop Petrus home. On the car was really funny because Felix was making me sing with my fake voice, saying I sing better using my fake voice. The whole journey home all of us were singing oprah man! Funny hell.



When we reached home, Petrus, Twinny and Felix played daidee. I went to shower and came here to blog. I haven't stopped since then. Petrus has gone home. And it's already 11.20. Wow.



K time for yesterday. I went to school early as usual. I went to library to get some research done. I was too lazy to do my notes so I decided to photocopy pages from the reference books instead. I wasted a lot of money photocopying those pages because I printed some wrongly and some came out halved. Pissed me off pretty much I tell you. Pfffff!



When I was done, I went to the canteen to check if Shelina and Twinny were still there. They weren't there anymore so I went to the gym. In the gym I only saw Petrus and Rifai. I was like "WHERE'S SHELINA AND ANNSLEY?!?!?!?!?!" Rifai told me they went home to get Annsley's wallet. Correction. Shelina followed Annsley home to get Annsley's wallet because Annsley forgot to bring her wallet when she came to school today.



So I asked Rifai if he was tired and he got the hint and let me play. But I found out he was really really tired because Petrus made him run up and down the court. When I played with Petrus, I experienced what Rifai experienced. I really ran up and down. I MANAGED TO SMASH ONCE! WOOHOO!!!!! I sweat so much la can. Ok not as much as the amount of sweat I sweat in Singapore 5 minutes after I step out into the sun but it's the most since I came to Perth. Good exercise!



After break, I went for english lesson. I was really really tired. While watching the video, I slept for about 10 minutes. Surprisingly, I could still answer a question on a part of the video where I slept through. Smart right? Woohoo! Haha. Lunch time, I ate pistachio nuts with Ryan, May and Petrus in the gym. Then went for accountings.



Accountings was tough this time. We covered everything for the ledger accounts. From depreciation, to prepaid, to trading to everything! I was so super lost can? So I just copied and pasted from the board without understanding anything. In other words, my accountings is a sure fail subject already.



After accountings, I met everyone outside library. Da Yong went home to put his bag so we sat around to wait. When Da Yong was finally back, we made our way to Curtin Bus Station. We took bus 99 to the train station and took the train down the city. When we reached city, we decided to go Taka to eat. I ordered Karaage (now you know why I ordered that just now). It was superb! Never tried any chicken that was that good.



We then made our way down to Tea Fusion, where Ryan was waiting for us to play dota. Ok, not us, but only the guys. So when we reached Tea Fusion, Nic and Ryan was there. I also saw one college friend. I ordered peach smoothie with sago. Not bad. Quite sweet. I miss my taro smoothie! The rest of the gang played cards while I sat in one corner reading magazines. It's just too sad I don't know how to play dai dee.



At around 10.50, the boys finally came up. Ryan and Nic ordered another cup of bubble tea. It was fun sitting with them because they were talking about their game. They were saying about Derek and Ryan. Derek used a character called Tiny. That character could grow in size using some item. So when Derek killed Ryan, his character grew. Ryan said Derek's character ate viagra. Wa lao eh freakin' funny la. Then we talked about gunbound. Nic was a wand la and he say he noob I pro! That...that...that argh!!!!!



We left Tea Fusion at around 6.30 and made our way down to Wellington bus station. Only Petrus, Nic, Twinny and I (out of the whole gang) were going for cell. On the way there, Nic and I were talking about Mr. Calculus. Then Twinny was really really blur. Ha! We met Stephen at the bus station. The bus came late by about 5-7 minutes.



In the bus, we sat in one row at the back. From the left to right, Nic, me, Twinny, Stephen and Petrus. When we were in the bus, Twinny was playing with Stephen and Petrus. ALL OF A SUDDEN, Twinny SCREAMED. The bus driver stopped the bus in the middle of the road, opened the cage, turned back, and asked "are you ok?" Woah lao eh Nic and I were so super pai seh we turned to look another way la can! Then Nic and I moved to the front to sit, pretending we don't know Twinny.



At Esplanade bus port, we bumped into May. When she got onto the bus, Nic and I were stopping her from sitting at the back. Twinny, Stephen and Petrus were trying to tempt her with sweets and chocolates. I went "Don't accept offerings from strangers, May!" Woah lao eh that's officially the craziest bus ride I ever had la can?



When we reached Michelle's house, cell started. We had a round of introduction, followed by the most interesting thing that happened to you over the week. I wanted to say what happened on wednesday (you shall know later) but Nic went to say. Argh! So I resorted to saying what happened to Twinny after Taekwando on tuesday (you shall know later also). Everyone was laughing like hell man. Wahaha!



Then was games by Nic. The whole purporse of the game was to eat Weat-Bix. I only ate one and a half compared to the guys' 4/5/6. Haha. We had worship, then the last session for 40 days of community. Michelle did the speaking instead of watching Pastor Rick Warren on a vcd. After prayers and stuff, DINNER! Dinner wasn't exactly like dinner. There were only fruits and cookies with chocolate dip. UNTIL Michelle took out shepherd's pie and fish fingers. I couldn't eat man, after all I ate in the day.



When we were done with dinner, at around 10.40, Nic, Petrus, Stephen, May, Twinny and I left for Max's house. Why? Because it's Jazper's 18th birthday!!!!! When we reached, Jazper reached too. He was blindfolded and arrive in Max's car. He was then made to sit on the roof of Max's car and have a ride. It was so darn farnie. When he was back, he took off his blindfold and everyone wished him happy birthday.



In Max's house, there was a cake for Jazper. Jazper's face was decorated with the cake's cream. He looked so darn cute. Ha! Then throughout the whole night, I was sitting on the couch, stoning. Max came by asking "Are you ok? You look drunk.." Dorts! I haven't drank for ages la! I was just really really tired. Max helped me throw away my cup. Thanks, dude. =) At around 12, we finally left.



Edwin sent Petrus home first at riverton. After sending Petrus home, somehow or another, Edwin got lost and ended up in the city again. On the way back to Curtin area, it was super funny. Stephen totally knocked out. He was sleeping and his head was dropping. Twinny was holding his head up for him the whole time. Then Stephen woke up a little. Then Annsley slept on his lap while Stephen leaned on Edwin's sit and they looked like puppies and were super duper cute.



After sending Stephen home, Twinny and I finally managed to reach home at around 1.30-2am. Now you know why I was scared about waking up the next day. That was the longest car ride I had in Perth. Amen.



On thursday, first lesson was calculus. First question Ma Ning asked me was that why I didn't go for calculus on tuesday (you shall know later ^^). Lol. Lesson was pretty boring. He was obviously in a much better mood today. Other than concentrating to Harry explaining integration, the mood was lighter. We chatted and laughed. Then I asked if he was free on thee 28th of May; Xman 3!

Ma Ning: "See first.."

Me: "Call your friends to go with you la."

Ma Ning: "My friends don't watch movies."

Me: "Other friends lo."

Ma Ning: "No girlfriend."

Me: "FRIEND not girlfriend."

And we ended up laughing. Oh ya the above conversation was in chinese.



After calculus, I went to the gym. I had no more lesson! When everyone left for lessons, I played a few rounds of badminton. I wasn't on form. Couldn't catch lotsa balls. One reason was because my wrist hurt from bowling the previous day (you shall know later ^^").



After break, applicable maths. I asked Ma Ning again if he was going for the movie and he said no. =_=" Thanks ar. So we had a revision test on time series. Obviously I didn't do well because it was a surprise test and I didn't study and I hated time series. Argh! Then we continued with sets. I was really pissed with the venn diagrams because I kept making mistakes and I couldn't get the answer. So in the end I gave up and stoned through the last 15 minutes.



Break. Skipped english 'cos english was research again in the library and it's almost impossible for me to research in a group/class. Now you know why I chose to go to school early to do research alone even without Shelina and Twinny. I played a bit of badminton. Improved a bit. Nic was saying how I improved a lot since I started playing badminton few months ago. Hehe. Thanks. At around 5.15, Twinny and I went home.



WEDNESDAY. Went to school early to do research. Only managed to research on one book. Was too slow. Then went to the canteen to find Shelina and Twinny. Then we went to the gym to play badminton. Then I went for accountings with Raymond. Then lunch. Gym closed. AAAAARGH. In the canteen, we were thinking of what to do after school and we decided on bowling!



English. Slept a little. After english, went to meet them outside library. Shelina, May and I walked Twinny to her bio class first then we went off for bowling! Took bus 34 down. We payed for 3 games. 21 bucks. For the first game, I didn't do very well. Total of only 12 points. Sorry la, I only played once and that was close to four years ago can.



Second game I scored 20 plus points. Third game 50. Improvement! Applause, please, thank you! During the games, I wasn't in a very good mood. Everyone kept asking me what happened to me that I couldn't help it and bursted into tears. Shelina and Da Yong comforted me. Thanks, really. You guys were great.



We left the place at 6.30, realising we had no bus home. We only planned our way there and not back. When we were at the bus stop, Nic called to ask for the last bus' time. Ryan stood in the dark calling someone. For once everyone though Ryan disappeared because Ryan was wearing all black and his bag was black and he was standing in the dark under a tree. Stupid Ryan.



In the end, Nic, Da Yong, Derek, Dominic and I walked home. The rest took bus at Carousel to the city to take bus home. On the way home, we went to Utopia for bubble tea! I ordered strawberry smoothie. Not bad. Not as good as watermelon smoothie. Nic's red bean smoothie was terrible. Da Yong's kiwi tea was worse. So the guys walked me to my door step. I refused at first but they insisted because I was a girl and it was late and dark. Hehe. Home sweet home.



On tuesday, first lesson was english. Do research in library. Of course, I didn't do any research. Was surfing the net instead. Then break. Didn't manage to play badminton. Then went for applicable maths. Then after applicable maths was lunch. Then no lesson. Didn't manage to play any badminton 'cos some people were hogging the court the whole day. PLUS I wasn't in a very good mood to start with. I was thinking of my parents. Half way through I couldn't take it I went to the toilet to cry.



After wiping my tears away and tidying myself, I went back to the gym and Shelina started asking about me. Again, I bursted into tears. I just couldn't take it. I missed my parents too much. I skipped calculus because I didn't feel like it. I was too down. I played badminton till around 5 and decided to go home first because something bad happened between me and Jay and it was pretty unpleasant. It left me in a very awkward position. Thankfully he was ok with me the next day. Hallelujah.



When I reached home, Yuki was in my house too becuase she was going to taekwando with Annsley. So I was telling Felix and Twinny about Jay and I and I got so worried and scared and guilty and sad. Yuki overheard and hugged me for encouragement. I cried in her arms. Twinny asked if I wanted to go taekwando with them. I decided to go since I wasn't in a very good mood.



At the taekwando place, Yuki and I felt really shy 'cos it was our first time. We did meditation, sit ups, jumping jacks, jumping, running on the spot and arm wrestling (I did it with kate). Then I learnt some white belt patterns. It was fun. Hehe. Sparring was fun too. Sam and Thomas were really nice. So was Timothy. At the end of it, Annsley specifically said "bye" to Timothy. Felix immitated her in a gay way when we left the place. That's what I said during cell on friday. Ha!



On the way back (as in sending Yuki home), Yuki kept trying to point out the moon to Felix and Twinny. Only I managed to see. When Yuki reached home and it was our turn to go home, I saw the moon and pointed it out. FINALLY they saw. Then, home sweet home!



Wow that was a lot of blogging again. I can't seem to blog everyday huh. Too busy. K it's 12.43am now. Time to go prepare my presentation on tuesday. Bye!

Sunday? Mothers' Day =)

Yay! I'm blogging in school again! Well, no, I'm not doing picture blogging because I'm in a class so I'm only allowed to blog about what happened yesterday. Why? Because if the teacher sees the pictures, she will surely know I am not doing my work. I'm supposed to do research on "Fall of Singapore" during WW2. But There's nothing much I can find in the books in the library because...well, Singapore's just one of the small major factors, unlike those HUGE major factors.



Alright on Sunday I woke up at around 8.55. Went to shower and everything and realised that bus 75 only comes at 10.52. In other words, I was super early. So I had time to waste. Then I went to check the timing for bus 34 and realised that the bus comes a bit later than 10.12, which is about 10.15-10.20. So Twinny and I took our time.



When we were about to leave the house, we had LOTS of problems. How to lock the door, how to lock the alarm. I knew the code but I didn't know if I activated or de-activated the alarm. Then we kept forgetting things like calculator and jacket. Well, ok fine, it was me, not Twinny. After much hassle, we finally managed to lock the house and go off taking bus.



Bus 34 took very long to reach the city. Close to an hour. So Twinny had motion sickness on the bus, again, so I kept keeping the conversation going. When we finally reached the city, we went to buy the Mothers' Day rock candy then went to check if Target was open. No. So we went to Myers to find Jessica. Then we went back to Target. Still not open. So we went to Carillion City to buy gelato ice cream. I had my usual cookies and cream and something I cannot remember. Ha! Then Yuki came to meet us. Then we went to Target. Still not open. But it opened after a few minutes.



In Target, we showed Yuki where she could buy her ushering clothes. Then Jessica followed Yuki around while Twinny and I went off to buy the things we needed to buy. I got a teddybear for Mishi for her birthday. Hehe a bit late but bleh nvm =P. Then we got some snacks, then we went upstairs to try and find the massaging thing for Aunty but we couldn't find. Twinny ended up buying DVDs. Smart. So we went down and got the whole bath set for Aunty. With body soap, shampoo...all those stuff, in Lavender smell.



When we cleared the cashier and were about to leave, the censor beeped. It was one of Twinny's DVDs. The guy deactivated it and we were off to go! The blouse Yuki got was same as Twinny's and mine. =_=" So off we go to Kim Chi House!



Shelina was sitting outside Tea Fusion waiting for us. Kim Chi House wasn't open. Sobs. So we decided to go eat some Penang restaurant. On the way, we passed by Saigon and I was like "I wanna try the Saigon chicken rice...can?" So everyone decided to eat in Saigon. Twinny followed obligedly. Yuki and I ordered Siagon chicken rice, Jessica ordered some hot plate dish and Twinny ordered her stewed beef that didn't come the night before. Shelina had her lunch already so she only ordered a cup of durian juice. Ohoh I ordered avocado smoothie and Jessica ordered carrot juice. Eeeee...



When our food came, we ate like hungry foxes. When Shelina's durian juice came, everyone gave it a try. We were like *BAM* off to heaven!!!!! The durian smoothie was damn damn damn damn damn nice! My avocado smoothie too! But of course it wasn't as nice as the durian juice. Yes! We've found a substitute for Tea Fusion already! Sorry Tea Fusion! The Saigon chicken rice was superb too...the skin, the meat...woohoo!



After lunch, we made our way down to City Library. When we were about to go in, we saw some HK college friends outside the library smoking. I was like "quit smoking lah!" in chinese. He was like "I smoke already" in chinese. Diaooo. We went up to the second floor and only found one small table. So Shelina, Twinny, Yuki, Jessica and I shared that table. Jay went off to get his things photocopied then sat at another individual table near us.



Everyone took out their mp3 player to listen while studying. Everyone except Twinny and Jay. Lol but Twinny was funnier because Twinny was at our table and she was the only one at our table without a mp3 player. And so we studied. I did accountings, Shelina did economics I think, Yuki and Twinny did chemistry while Jessica did Discrete Maths. Jay did chemistry too. WITH the help of Shelina ^^.



At around 3.15 Yuki went down to meet her friends and when she came back she said she saw her homestay brother. She said he was wearing green so Jessica and I decided to walk around the library finding him. When we couldn't find him, we pretended we were on the way down to the toilet. When we came back up, Shelina went down to meet her sister. Wow. Busy table. For the rest of the time, Shelina and Jay were very noisy because Shelina was helping Jay and Jay kept making...I don't know. Doing stupid things. Ha!



At around 4.15, Shelina, Jay and I decided to have a break so we went to a supermarket to buy drinks. Shelina bought one bottle while Jay bought one packet and one can. I tried all and only the bottled and canned one were nice. I can't remember what they were already so if you really wanna know what they are, go ask them yourself. ^^



When we went back, it was only about 15 minutes more before the library closes. So I packed my things and all the girls except for Yuki walked around in search of cute guys. Haha! Yuki's homestay brother no cute one xD but we saw our HK college friends again. Twinny and Jessica kept talking to them. Shelina and I went back to continue packing our things.



When we finally left the library, we decided to go TIMEZONE! I spent 20 there. Grabbed a few useless kittens that I have already. Took neoprints (was forced to! Don't give me that look!), saw Jay play the shooting game, the coin game, looked at Shelina play DDR, looked at Yuki play the drums and Shelina and I played Daytona. I lost to her for the advance map but won her for the expert map! Woohoo! Hehe.



After walking out of timezone, we saw Nic, Faith, Junie and Jazper. Nic wanted to borrow my card =_=. Take lo. Then Faith wasn't wearing any shoes 'cos her feet had blisters. She only had socks on. They went to China Dragon for dinner while we went to Kim Chi house for dinner. At Kim Chi House, I told them to help me order my share for me while I went out to make a phone call back home in Singapore.



I called my grandma's house number. Someone picked up the phone.

Me: "Hello? Um...this is De Xin..." (everyone was at my grandma's house so I didn't know who picked up the phone. Could be my mum, one of my aunts or cousins)

Person over the phone: "De Xin! It's Mummy ar! Darling! How are you???"

MUMMY!!!!! Yayyyyy!!!!! So I wished her Happy Mothers' Day and asked to talk to Grandma. So when Grandma took over the phone, I wished her Happy Mothers' Day too. Then we chatted, about life here, about me promising to get Grandma a doraemon for her belated birthday and about my studies. Then the phone was handed back to Mummy. I asked for Daddy. Daddy talked about how I should take care of myself, how I should study hard. Usual stuff. Then the phone was handed back to Mummy again. We chatted a while more. When I hung up, I immediately bursted into tears. Shelina and Jay were there to comfort me. Thanks guys =)



We ordered drinks from Tea Fusion (just opposite Kim Chi House) and went back to Kim Chi House for dinner. The soup is boiling!!! Woohoo! Cook the beef cook the beef! The beef was superb man. So was the soup with the mushrooms and hor fun and everything else inside. Dinner was just superb. After dinner, we stayed in the restaurant crapping. Played the "big small" game. Fun! Dinner was $16.10 each. Reasonable la.



After dinner, we went to Wellington bus station to take bus 34. Everyone took it. At Esplanade bus port, Shelina and Jay got off to take their bus home. Only left Yuki, Twinny and I. Yuki and Twinny were listening to Yuki's iPod Nano. I sat at the back spacing out and thinking of...some things. Some things that shall not be named.



We got home safely after that super long ride. Had a good night's rest too.



Monday. I don't know if I was really tired or was it because of Twinny's influence. Twinny was very tired because she slept very late the night before because she was studying for her chemistry test. My first lesson was ELACS. At library. Was supposed to do research but of course I didn't do any. Will be doing on wednesday (tomorrow). I work better when alone.



Calculus, sat beside Ma Ning. Studied and did my work. At the end of the lesson I gave my paper to Ma Ning 'cos he didn't know how to do the work and he wanted to look at mine so that he can do them at home.



Didn't manage to play much badminton during the break. Applicable maths, learnt sets. Bor-ring. Lunch break, didn't play much badminton either. ELACS module A (the previous one was module B) touched on immigration and emmigration. Accountings, partnership. Learnt P&L Appropriation Statement. I learnt it myself the day before at City Library.



After accountings, BADMINTON! Didn't exactly manage to play much either until Stephen came at around 4.15 then we had rackets to play real game. I DID A PROPER SMASH! FINALLY! WOOHOO! Previously my smashes weren't exactly fast enough. Weeeee! The gym closed at 5.30 and we all went home.



At night, Stephen called me while he was on his way home. He miss called me twice when I was in the shower. Then I miss called him once. Then he finally called back. We chatted while I played gunbound. Ok the reason why I played gunbound was that Nic and I were really bored so we decided to create new accounts to play. But they weren't ready so I played first with my old account. After two games, I got bored and quit.



When Stephen came online, he passed me a game. Then we chatted. I chatted with Raymond too. It was a fun night. A day well spent.

SUPER FUN WEEKEND!!!!!

Alright alright it's time to blog. I should start blogging daily so that I'll have less things to blog. Agree? Agreed. Let's start from Wednesday!



On Wednesday, I went to school early. I went to the gym and no one was there. So I went to the library and decided to finish that picture blogging. Of course, I managed to, as you all can see. At 10, I decided to try my luck and went to the gym.

At first there was a girl in the gym. I didn’t know who she was. So I went to the toilet and when I came out, no one was there. So I sat down and ate my sandwich. Eating halfway, Petrus came in. So after only eating half of my sandwich, I started playing badminton with him. Then Derek came. Then Nic. Then Da Yong Then the Indonesian guys. So Petrus and I play on one side of the court while Derek and one of the Indonesian guy played on the other side.

At 10.50, I went for my accountings class with Raymond. Ronald didn’t come. Ha! Expected! That doof. We started on partnership. Wasn’t as bad as I thought. I could still understand. But when John told us to do question two, I gave up. My brain couldn’t take in anything more. I just sat there and stoned all the way till 12.35. When it was close to 12.35, I made a hand signal showing Raymond it’s time. When John released us, Raymond and I dashed to the gym.

At the gym, everyone was playing. And I wasn’t in the mood for lessons anymore. I was tooooo tired. So I skipped English. In other words, I let others play first during lunch. After lunch, everyone was gone except a few guys. I played badminton with them.

At 3, Ben pushed the table tennis tables aside and set up another badminton court. So we play! Everyone was out of class so we play and play and play! Until about 3.30, I got tired and rested. Jay said he wanna get contact lenses. So he asked around where’s the nearest optical shop. City. 20 minutes from school. CHIONG AR!!!!!

When Da Yong, Jay and I reached the bus stop, we missed our 99 bus. So we sat down and waited. The next 75 bus will be at 4.30. So we decided to take the next 99 bus which is at 4. Then we changed to train and went all the way to the city. Then we chionged all the way to Jay’s optical shop.

At the shop, the guy said Jay shouldn’t wear his contact lenses for two months ‘cos his was a monthly disposal one. He made sense but he was tooooo naggy. Then he told Jay he can’t buy only one pair. He needs to order 3 pairs at least. $140. Woah. I could see how Jay’s heart stopped beating at that moment man lol. So Jay ordered and paid.

When we left the shop and chionged to the bus stop, Jay kept grumbling and rumbling, saying if he knew need to order then he wouldn’t wanna buy anymore. But he bought already. So too bad! We took bus 75 back.

On the way back, Jay and Da Yong talked about food. How to cook food. Then I helped a little. Because our poor little Jay is living alone because his sister went back to Brunei.

We reached school at around 5.15. I played with Nic, Shelina and Twinny. Was quite pissed at someone but hey! It’s over! At 6, we went home.

THURSDAY. First thing in the morning, Calculus. Ma Ning wasn’t in a very good mood. Not even to study. His ear stuff head went into his ear hole and it was bleeding. He said when he woke up, his bed sheet was covered with blood. Throughout the whole lesson, he did only one, two or three questions.

I tried to cheer him up but writing “smile la, you whole day frown very ugly!” in chinese. He smiled and went back to frowning. Then I kept trying to make him happier by chatting. But he just wouldn’t cheer up. Then when he stretched, I asked if he was ticklish. He said yes. POKE AR! Then he laughed. Yay! When he was back to frowning again, I poked again.

After calculus, no more lesson! The gym wasn’t open. T_T. Whyyyyy????? So we all went to the canteen. I ate my sandwich. Gave half to Jay. After break, EVERYONE was gone. Wow! Except for Ryan and two Raymonds. So I went over to join them.

While we were crapping, I bought a packet of Hello Panda and maltesers. I ate the Hello Panda and planned to give the maltesers to Ma Ning because he was going to go to the hospital in the afternoon with regards to his ear. But when lunch came, I daren’t pass it to him and all of us, the usual gang, ended up finishing the maltesers.

After lunch, I had applicable maths. Ma Ning didn’t attend because he went to the hospital already. We continued with what we learnt from the previous lesson. We had our lessons at room 49.

After applicable maths, break. Canteen. Then English. Library. Research. At 4.45, go over to room 16 to interact with the April Start students. Saw Sierra. Chatted with her. Yay! Don’t need to talk to people I don’t know although I’m obliged to. At 5, go home!!!!!

FRIDAY. Went to school early. Shelina, Twinny and I sat in the canteen. I ate my lunch, at 8.40, while Shelina and Twinny did their homework. Then at 8.50, they went off for their accountings class. In other words, they were gonna be almost 10 minutes late. Intentionally.

Then I went to the library. Did picture blogging. It’s going to be done by next Wednesday or latest Friday because I’ve got an assignment to do so I need to get research done. Then at around 10, Shelina and Twinny came to visit me in the library. Then they went off to student services. I followed.

After they were done with their things at student services, they still didn’t want to go back for lessons. I think the teacher really isn’t very good. So we decided to give gym a try. It’s open!!!!! And Petrus was there!!! But the Indonesian guys were playing. So we played ball. Catch! Haha. Then we played catch with the net. Like volleyball but instead of passing back, we have to catch it then throw again.

After Shelina and Twinny went back, I got the chance to play with the china guy. He made me run up and down the court! I even sweat a little. Wow. Haven’t sweat for so long. Then Derek played. With his racket. At 10.50, I went off for my English lesson.

English. Test! Listening comprehension! BUT, we have to listen, take notes, and at the end of it write a summary. It wasn’t too hard la but my summary was quite long. I hope it isn’t too long. Sigh.

After English, we went to the gym. I didn’t manage to play. So at 1.15, Raymond and I went for accountings lesson. Ronald came. Finally la that guy. So I taught Ronald partnership. Wow. He understood. We learnt interesting on drawing. Nothing much. Still understood.

After accountings, I met the gang outside the library. We took bus 99 to the train station and took a train to the city. In the bus, it was really cramp. In the train, Nic, Shelina, Twinny and I played Who Wants to be a Millionaire on Nic’s phone. Fun!

When we reached city, we split up. Petrus and I followed Nic to his optical shop. Then Nic needed to have a eye check-up so Petrus and I went off to find shops for Nic to buy shirts from. Ushering shirt. We found MantoMan and Ed Harry. Oh ya guess who I bumped into? Jo Shen!!!!! And his friend Servin (don’t know how to spell la).

So when Nic’s eye check-up was done, Shelina and Twinny joined us already. So we went all the way back down to Ed Harry so that Nic can get his shirt. He got a baby blue shirt and two ties. Then we went to MantoMan and Nic got another baby green shirt and a green tie. Then Jay met us and we walked to Northbridge!

Nic waited outside Macs. Petrus went to the train station. The rest of us went to City Garden! Everyone was already there. But Shelina, Jay, Twinny and I had no appetite because I ate ice cream, Shelina and Twinny ate already and Jay didn’t want to eat in City Garden. So we only went up to say hi and went to Gelato! Jay ate at Siagon.

I had three scoops! Chocolate chip, pistachio and ferrero. Nice! The pistachio wasn’t very nice, though. The ferrero was the best. Then we went to Saigon to find Jay. Then we walked back to City Garden to meet them again. Dominic, Shelina, Twinny and I sat Edwin’s car to SOUTH PERTH CHURCH OF CHRIST! WOOHOO!!!!!

When we reached, Nic was at the door ushering. At first there was no seats. Then there were enough seats for only some of us. Then the pastor told the young ones to give up seats for the older ones. So Jay, Dominic, Shelina, Twinny and I went to the front to sit. At the front, there were a few seats. So Shelina, Twinny, Peggy and I sat on the seats while Dominic, Da Yong and Derek sat on the floor.

When service started, we sang worship. One way! Jesus! You’re the only one that I could live for! Man! We jumped! Woohoo! Fun! Jackie’s speech was intellectual. Then we got into groups for prayers in tongue. I did it! Yes! Hallelujah! Then we ended with worship again. By the way, the drummer was cute. He looked like 5566’s Jason. And his name’s Andrew. Timothy told me. He’s in Timothy’s church. x).

After service, we waited outside. Shelina had gastric. Crystal asked around to see who had food and got a subway sandwich for Shelina. Wow. Then guess who I bumped into?!?!?! TIMOTHY!!!!!!!!!! He was telling me how he survived on 26 cents credit for the past two months. Lol. It’s nice meeting you, dude. Good to know God brought us together. =)

We sat Garry’s car home. Home sweet home!

SATURDAY. I woke up at around 11.15. Petrus came at around 11.30. I had lunch at around 12. Went to shower. Shelina came at around 12.45. We went to Bentley Library. I studied accountings, Shelina studied economics, Twinny and Petrus studied chemistry. I kept making stupid mistakes and gave up at 2.30. Shelina and I decided to go to Utopia for bubble tea. By the way, Shelina repaired my pencil. Thankew!!!!!

At Utopia, I ordered watermelon smoothie with sago. Shelina ordered watermelon snow with jelly. Twinny and Petrus joined us at around 2.50. Dominic and Yuki reached at around 3.10. We then made our way back to my house. I packed my handbag, and rushed off to the bus.

I thought the bus was supposed to come at 3.34 so we only had 4 minutes to reach the bus stop that’s 10 minutes walk away from our house. So we RAN. Then when we reached the bus stop, I checked the bus timetable and realized I looked at the wrong timing. I looked at the weekdays timing instead of Saturday. So we had to wait for another 10 minutes. 10 minutes only la. Dominic went to get some food to eat from Eureka.

We took bus 75 down to esplanade bus port then took 102 to UWA. Saw Alphonsus and Jeremy. When we reached the lecture hall, we were late. So we entered by the back. We missed the whole starting worship...sobs. Today’s sermon was by How Boon. Haha he was funny. Then worship to end.

After service, we went toilet, then back to the lecture hall. We walked around chatting. With Peggy, How Boon, Joshua, Kevin, Nic, blah blah blah. Then we were told to follow June’s car to Saigon, in Northbridge.

When we reached, we, uh, went to Saigon and ordered food. Duh. I ordered stewed beef with hor fun. It tasted funny today. Jay had broken rice with 7 meat, Shelina and some spicy soup with beef thingy, Kevin, Faith and Dominic had Saigon chicken rice. Twinny also had stewed beef hor fun.

Shelina’s, Jay’s and mine came. Then Kevin and Faith. Then Dominic. Twinny’s didn’t seem to come. Kevin asked. They found out that the waiter didn’t take Twinny’s order. Then Twinny asked to cancel the order. Then the food came. She refused to have it. Sigh.

After dinner, we went to Gelato for ice cream again! I saw Stephen! And a girl! Wooooooooooh!!!!! I got chocolate cookie, tiramisu and ferrero. Chocolate cookie was the best. We then went to Time Zone. I topped up $10 on my gold card. Yes, I finally got my gold card. I got one tiger. Edwin helped me get one pooh.

In the end, Angeline sent Nic, Yuki, Twinny and I home. Home sweet home!

Tomorrow going to city library to study. Gonna transfer songs into my mp3 player then go and sleep already. Buh-bye.
