Yesterday, with Cheryl's dad driving me back, I evacuated from home finally. Now's home sweet home. But tomorrow, I'm leaving for Cambodia. Somehow, I wasn't really that excited. In fact, I'm a bit worried, but I guess, everything will be ok after the first two days. Went a lot of places today. First, met up with Cheryl, Nana and B1 at Beach Road to buy Nana's backpack (which is exactly the same as mine, but she got a better bargain), B1's slippers and other small stuff. For this trip, I really bought a lot of stuff. Haha. Hopefully, I can go travelling more often, then what I've bought will be more worthwhile. Then we proceeded to Peninsular Plaza to buy B1's backpack. After that, we went to Bugis to meet JY to go Sim Lim to buy her mp3 player. With Nana's electronic knowledge and B1's bargaining skills, she managed to buy a 1GB Iriver for $260 which was really worth the money. Actually, while we were walking from shops to shops, I was tempted to buy a mp3 player too. But in the end, I concluded that I wanted to buy because everyone else has one, and not really because I need one. Yes, bus journeys can be boring and tiring, but I can always sleep. Haha.
When we went home, me and JY went Kino to browse at books where I found a "Coxford Singlish Dictionary". I thought it was very bad to publish such books because it encourages people to use Singlish even more often, if not, more "fluent". From the first few pages, I've already "learnt" a lot of new Singlish terms. It really waste the government's efforts of promoting "Speak Good English" campaign.
I met up with my good old friends, Huiwen, Suyi and Zhongrui, for dinner. We went to Cafe Cartel to eat. For don't know what reason, the service today was very bad. We had to wait for quite some time before our next order comes. Even though so, I had a great time chatting with them. It's really the company that makes the difference. I'm glad to keep in close contact with them after so many years. Unknowingly, I've known them for 8 years. They are really my best buddies, I can always easily talk to anyone of them about anything under the sun. None of us has changed much, except maybe physical appearance. I'm just glad to see them before I leave for Cambodia. Gosh, I really don't know when will my next post be. Till next time......

The long goodbye...
Finally done! I'm really glad to finish the three powerpoint presentations. I'm really happy that they like what I've done. I really put in a lot of effort and time. I don't know what to say now... All I have left is to look forward to my Cambodia trip and prepare myself for the new chapter of my life. Maybe I need to explain myself a bit. Well, I did the powerpoint presentations not because they are holiday assignments but they are for my neighbours, Saudi, Rohting and Grace. Cindy did the other two powerpoint presentations for B1 and Nana. My presentations were all a bit funny, enough to tickle the crowd and I'm proud of that. As for Cindy's presentations, I felt the one for Nana was especially sad because of the song. It's really like a IHG video. A total different style from mine. Heh. But I really that one a lot, it makes me cry. For the past few days, I've been working hard on these ppt, till 3am in the morning. It's not easy at all, there's a lot of minute details and timing is very very important. Cindy and me have been planning for a "farewell party" for the graduating seniors for a while. Until yesterday, we still can't decide whether to have dinner back in hall or eat outside hall. We had poor planning and our stories don't really match. Haha. I think, the seniors did smell something fishy going on, but still I think it's a pleasant surprise for them. Just now, all the sad emotions came back, but I have to learn to move on without them. I think it's a nice way to sort of "say goodbye". Don't know why I'm here alone in my room updating while the rest are laughing heartily two rooms away from me. Haha.
Anyway, I went co-op this afternoon and I happened to see my eyecandy's friend. Haha. For a moment, I was very excited but in the end, I did not manage to see him. Wonder would his friend tell him that he saw me.. These few days, I kept wondering how fated are we. The story of "Turn left turn right'' kept haunting me (in a good way, I think). I wonder if this same thing happens to both of us - we are always near each other, but we don't get to meet each other. I guess fate is a funny thing....

Friday the thirteen
Actually nothing much happened today, just didn't know what to put for the title. Just another expedition day. We started with Margie sharing her life journey, then some of us volunteered to prepare food for sampling. We tried to cook Laksa, Mee Rebus and Mee Siam. Out of the three, I think Mee Rebus is the nicest and also it's the easiest to cook. We took pretty long to prepare every thing even though everything were instant. But due to the lack of utensils, we had to wait and reuse the same pot for different dishes. Luckily, all the dishes were successful except for the frying of Mee Siam bee hoon. Anyway, I'm updating as long as Rohting has not reached here. Waiting for her to help me pack some stuff back. Actually it's a lot of stuff. Moving out of hall soon. Sigh. All my neighbours are leaving. I will definitely miss them and miss hall life in the holidays. How I wish there weren't holidays. I seriously don't mind studying throughout the year. Haha. Anyway, after lunch, we went back to Blue Oyster and learnt the history of Cambodia from Rachel's powerpoint presentation and watched "The Killing Fields". This movie depicted the living conditions in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge Regime. There were a few bloody and raw scenes. The movie showed the strong friendship built between an American and a Cambodian journalist. Both of them wanted to let the rest of the world knows what's going on within the Cambodia. Alright, my chauffeur is here. Haha. I shall end here.

.:.Rainbow.:.
"Red Yellow and Pink and Green
Purple and Orange and Blue
I can sing a Rainbow
Sing a Rainbow
Sing a Rainbow too"
This is the commercial song that keeps playing in my head.
Anyway, I forgot to mention in the previous post that I noticed that he cut his hair. Actually, he really wasn't that fantastic-looking but somehow he blows my mind. Haha. I was just talking to PY that all my actions were very obvious that I'm interested in him but since he hasn't taken any action, I doubt he feels the same for me just like the way I do. On the other hand, the reason why he hasn't taken any action probably is because he wasn't smart enough to look for me on Friendster. Haha. He wasn't as psychotic as I am. But I'm really really glad to have "felt his presence". Haha.
After lunch, we went back hall for T-shirt painting. There wasn't enough brushes so in the end, I used my fingers to paint instead. It was done in 40 minutes and after that, Grace said, "That's all for today." Yeah! So me, C, Mich, JY and JT went back YIH to see doctor to get our hormones pills. I've learnt a great deal about the drug that I'm supposed to be taking from C. She told me what's the difference between hormones pills and contraceptives.
We went back hall to change out, then we took 33 to Queensway Shopping Centre as JY wanted to get a backpack. We walked for quite a while. Mich also wanted to look for a pouch. JY and C found a good deal at this particular shop. A 60 L backpack for $60, which was really a good catch hence in the end, JT and I, ended up buying also. Now that I have a backpack on my own, next time I do not have to borrow for someone else. Yeah!

I.Saw.Him
The next few entries would be describing mostly things we did during all the expedition sessions. Today was supposed to be an un-happening day. The day started when we had a short briefing at 10am, and a sharing session after that. During the sharing session, both Wingkit and Jesal presented their "Life Journey". It was very entertaining listening to their stories. Then we ended at 12pm for an early lunch. I went back to my room and packed a little, but I was planning to pack lunch at Ginza until I received a call from Jiayun saying that "Your eyecandy is at YIH. Come quickly." Without thinking, I said, "Ok, ok." Then I quickly rushed to the bustop. While waiting, I began to think whether I should go or not, because it would damn obvious if he sees me. Just when I was about to message JY again, the bus came, so I got up the bus. I really didn't want to go there, or rather I was quite scared. I called JY to check where is she sitting and is he still there. While talking, I saw him, but I'm a bit upset because he was with another girl. I was at a loss. But anyway, I sort of took one big round and walked passed his group unintentionally, but I didn't look at him. I only took a few glimpse of him and I was satisfied. I told JY that he was with a girl, but she said they were sitting diagonally when sitting, so they should be just friends. Without it's true or not, I'm really contented that I saw him. Haha.
Beach fun
Today I went to Sentosa with Cheryl, Michelle and Cindy. At first, I thought there would be a few more friends going, but they couldn't make it. We went to Palawan Beach instead of the usual Sunset Bay because it's FOC at Palawan Beach. When we reached there, there weren't many people at all. So we just played volleyball by ourselves. It was very tiring playing two-on-two, but good fun. However, we got bored fast. The weather was very good. The sun wasn't that strong. I got tanned but didn't manage to get rid of my old tan lines with my new bikini. Hah. After a while, there was a group of Russian tourists passing by. Two of them joined us for volleyball. It was much more exciting because there were more rallies and it's much easier playing three-on-three. One of them even taught Cindy how to serve properly. The whole time at Sentosa, I was hoping I could bump into my eyecandy. Haha. Cindy was shouting his name out when we were at the "Southernmost of the Continental Asia". We became sick of volleyball so we went 7-11 to buy slurpee and frisbee, besides, somebody else came over and used our court. Throughout the whole day, we played and rested, played and rested, played and rested. Then me and Cindy to go into the water while Mich and Cheryl laid down and sun-tanned themselves on the beach. I was trying to throw skipping pebbles and I did. My best record was 3 skips and Cindy was impressed by me. Haha. So proud of myself. Forgot to mention that when we boarded the Sentosa bus this morning, we thought that the four of us were wearing the wrong dress code, because we saw girls wearing pretty dresses and dangling earrings to Sentosa while we were in shorts and singlets.
When it was around 4pm, we decided to go to Siloso Beach to watch "Animal Encounter". To get there, we either have to get up a tram or a bus. We walked for quite a distance before reaching a bustop. Upon reaching, we passed by a playground and decided to play with the merry-go-round. It wasn't the usual merry-go-round and, just nice there were only four seats. It was very fun, we all got dizzy after a few spins. Haha. Then we had to run after the tram. When we finally reached the place, the compere talked for about 10mins and the show ended. Haha. We stayed at the platform for a while, then Huiwen came to look for me. We discussed a bit about dinner plans, then she had to play pool with her colleague. Duh. So Cindy and I played frisbee again while Mich and Cheryl stayed at the platform. Later they came over and joined us then we had a "Frisbee Throwing Competition". Haha. And Cheryl was damn lousy at it and she refuses to admit it. Hee. Finally, we left Sentosa and went Harbourfront to eat Mac's ice cream. It's very refreshing.Wooo!
My initial dinner plans with Huiwen is that we would meet back in the East side as I wanted to bring home a bag of clothes. From the way I dilly-dally, by the time I reached the east side would be already 8pm and probably we could only meet up for a drink instead. So Huiwen suggested that we meet up another day, this is also because she wanted to catch some TV. In the end, I didn't go home. I stayed in hall, packed dinner from behind and went to Cheryl's room and watched TV with Mich and Cindy and Margie. This was the first time I watched so much TV in hall. We watched from 7pm to 12.30am. Haha. It was entertaining watching TV with them. My eyes are now very tired and tomorrow's going to be a long day too..

The BIG Crush
Just this afternoon as I was surfing, I read a very touching love story that made me teared. The sad part of the story was that the guy did not manage to let the girl know that he really loved her before she passed away. Lesson learnt: You should let someone know how you feel for him/her when you can. I really understand this, but the point is it's really very hard to tell someone how you feel in real life. Maybe it's that as hard if you already know the person, for example, your boyfriend or your mother. But it's not the case for a crush.
It all started last semester when I started to study for exams in the library. Most of the time I studied alone. I remembered the first time I noticed him because of his shirt. It says "180 degrees". I interpreted that as "I'm a straight guy." Haha. Don't really know if that's what it was supposed to be. Subsequently, I started to look out for him in the library everyday. Slowly, I had to see him everyday. I think he did not notice me at all, I'm just a normal nerd in the library, nothing attractive. Coincidentally, he happens to be two of my lecture-mates' eyecandy also. From them, I learnt that he was one year our senior and yes, he was in Engineering too. They said they noticed him while studying in the library also in year one and they frequently saw him in the Engineering canteen during lunch time. Darn, I don't like to eat lunch in the Engineering canteen and I did not purposely eat at Engineering canteen for the sake of bumping into him. When I finished my last paper last semester, me and Jiayun purposely went back to library to try to look for our individual crush. Haha, so silly, but he was not there.
At the start of this semester, I very much wanted to see him again. I can clearly remember all the encounters I had with him. There was once when I wanted to go co-op to buy textbook and I saw him walking down the slope on the other side of the road. He didn't see me. Another incident was during a break of a boring seminar, I walked out of the lecture theatre and saw him with his group of friends. I didn't think he recognised me. Then once when I was waiting for bus at the Arts canteen stop with Rohting, I saw two familiar figures jogging past me, for a moment, I thought these people must be from KR training for IHG, then suddenly it came to me that they were actually his clique, so I quickly turned around and then he was running towards me. I bet I was staring at him the whole time! The thing is he saw me! I'm definite with that. He looked at me! After that encounter I was on cloud nine. Haha. Seriously, I've never been so infatuated with a guy before. The other encounter was at a bazaar, he saw me when I was trying to show my friends my eyecandy. Haha. The last one was when I was at co-op with Jiayun, I was at the stationery section while JY was choosing paper, then I naturally looked up when someone walked by and there he was! At that moment, I flustered and didn't know what to do, so I quickly picked something up and looked.
The last three encounters were really unforgettable, so I decided to search for him on Friendster. I didn't know his name. The only clues I have were his age(I guessed he was around 23) and school(NUS). There were 700+ results and so I slowly looked through every one of them. As I was halfway through and about to give up, tadah~, I FOUND HIM! Can you imagined how happy I was?? After that, I became fanatic and bookmarked him and logged on everyday just to see him. From Friendster, I knew how many siblings he got, what he likes, how he is like as a person from his testimonials. I became a stalker. Sigh, I didn't like what I was doing but i couldn't control it.
There was a period of time when I very much wanted to see him in person, as in bump into him, but the more I wanted to see him, the harder I get to see him. On the other hand, all of other friends managed to spot him on other parts of the campus. I thought to myself, "Not fated". Hence I could only wait for reading week to start and hope to see him again in the library. For the first few days I went to the same level 3 to study but he wasn't there. I guessed that he must be studying somewhere else. So, one day after dinner when I went back to library with Peiyi, I told her, "Let's go to level 6", and I never regret my decision. I saw him there but he didn't see me. From then onwards, me and PY will go to level 6 religiously to study. Haha. Besides, I've found out that level 6 is where all the babes and hunks would congregate. It was fun studying there because there's a lot to bitch about and this is the first time in NUS, I study with PY. Anyway, it was towards the later part of studying that me and my eyecandy were studying in the same section. In the end, he and his friends always sit one row behind and two tables away from me. *Sidetracked, I noticed that he never uses the lift.* At first, he did not walk past my side but subsequently, he did. I was really happy and I thought I caught him looking at me also. When exams started, I observed him so much that I knew when he had his papers. When he had finished 4 papers, there was one afternoon that I thought he was going for his fifth paper. So I got a bit upset that I could not see him anymore and I didn't expect him to come back. Who knows after lunch he came back and walked past my side and he totally caught me unprepared and I bet I looked damn stunned when I saw him. And I really was stunned, so stunned that I thought my heart skipped a beat. The very last close encounter was on 2 May. As usual, me and PY were studying in the library. Then it was lunch time but I knew that he and his friends had already gone for lunch but they were not back. I was expecting to bump into him on our way to Macdonald's. Who knows when we were left another short flight of steps, I saw him walking from the side. It was difficult to act nonchalant but after that, I was very contented.
I know all the while, it was very obvious that I kept looking at him but it didn't matter. I really wanted to know him as a friend and at that time, PY kept encouraging to take the first step. But I'm really am afraid to take initiative. There are too many uncertainties, besides the fact that I'm a conservative thinking person, even if I don't appear so. If I have the chance, there would be a lot of questions that I wanted to ask. I wanted to know if he felt something for me, because there are times that I thought I got some hints from him. If he felt something for me, why aren't him taking action? During this long holiday, I hope I can bump into him again, somewhere, somehow. If not, I guess I would have to wait until the next reading week then I can see him again. Another thing I would like to find out is that I noticed that somebody has been checking my Friendster profile everyday and I wondered whoever he/she is. Maybe, a secret admirer? Hehe.

Happening night...
Continuing from my shopping trip and nap, I had an expedition meeting after that. It was a hilarious session. We were first divided into two groups, the Majoria and Minoria. I was in the Minoria group and we were supposed to be the native people and the Majoria people were supposed to help us build an University. We had to communicate in a language that the Majoria will not be able to understand, so Wingkit thought of the "No" language, we just say "No" for everything. The whole thing was very funny because we delibrately exaggerated all the weird gestures. To greet with us, the Majoria had to shake our left arms and then flicked our foreheads. To greet our chief, the guys have to rub their chests first then do a "dog-pee" action. It was very funny and all of us could not control ourselves(the Minoria were supposed to be offended and be angry) so we kept giggling and giggling. The objective behind this session was to re-enact a familiar situation that we may face when we were there at Cambodia. But most of us agreed that when we were there, all of us will have the basic courtesy of not laughing and just follow whatever gestures that need to be done. It was until then that I realised that we are leaving soon. It's the next Saturday. OMG! How fast!
After expedition session, I had dinner with my dear neighbours, Grace, B1 and Nana. We had instant noodles and we bbq sausages and cuttlefish balls left over from the steamboat. Haha. We used the instant grill that Grace had won in the lucky draw during the D&D night. Like what B1 had said, it was enjoyable bbq-ing because we can take our own sweet time to bbq the food. Halfway through I left for a mini volleyball session with Mich, Cheryl and Jiayun at the takraw court. It was good fun but we only played for an hour and then the lights went out. An hour later, me, Grace, Nana, Mich, Cheryl, Jiayun and Jingting, went for a KTV session. I was shouting for most of the songs, and I felt damn good. We ended at 2am and I went straight to bed after that. That's a lot of activities for a slack Monday. Haha.

Halfway through I left for a mini volleyball session with Mich, Cheryl and Jiayun at the takraw court. It was good fun but we only played for an hour and then the lights went out. An hour later, me, Grace, Nana, Mich, Cheryl, Jiayun and Jingting, went for a KTV session. I was shouting for most of the songs, and I felt damn good. We ended at 2am and I went straight to bed after that. That's a lot of activities for a slack Monday. Haha.

Actually I wonder why are there people reading other's blogs when usually people just write whatever happened to them each day.. Unless the person is a superhero or a celebrity, a commoner's life can be very mundane and boring.. Sure there will be times when things happen but still I wouldn't really read other people's blogs. I just surf to see their self-created blog skin and appreciate their hard work.
I just came back from shopping at Bugis. Bugis is really a shopping haven(to me) than Orchard. You can get cheap deals over there and there are sooooo many shops that it's impossible to go in every shop and see. However I did not buy any clothes. I've only bought at set of bikini yeah!!! Finally, I found the perfect bikini for myself. But it costs $91.80(plus padding)! I'm quite surprised that I actually splurge on it because usually I'm a very frugal person. I told myself that this is my 21st birthday present that I bought myself, hence I did not feel too bad about it. Haha. Very satisfied with it and I'm going to wear it on Wednesday, hopefully the weather will be as good as today! After buying my bikini, I wasn't interested to shop for other things hence I was walked around Bugis Junction. I was secretly hoping that I could bump into my crush, haha, which sadly did not happen. Shall continue more about my crush in the next entry, I need a nap now....

Alright.. I'm in
Finally decided to start a blog too after surfing so many blogs.. I'm really amazed by the different beautiful blogs that I've saw. Surprisingly, most of them were done by Secondary school kids. This just shows how out-dated I am. Another thing that I've realised was that one can easily(and I really mean easily) recognise a Singaporean's blog. So, I've decided to post all my entries in as perfect English as I can but at the same time, express my thoughts and feelings vividly. Actually, this might be hard to achieve as I've limited vocabulary and it would be too formal to talk in standard English.
Well, I guess I have to start with some introduction of myself.. I'm turning 21 soon(wah, how exciting!) but I'm not planning for any kind of celebration. Firstly, it would cost a lot of money, time and effort. Secondly, I would not know who to invite and who I should invite. Anyway, I will be leaving for THE EXPEDITION this coming 21st to Cambodia to build a classroom for the kids there. I'm pretty sure it would be one of the defining moments of my life. Very excited about this trip, however, at the same time, I'm worried about the first few days over there. I will be coming back 18 days later which will be 7th or 8th June and just in time to spend my birthday back home.
I hope this blog will be a good channel to express my thoughts and feelings about all the stuff I see everyday. I hope that I have the patience to update my blog as frequent as possible because as a true Geminian, I like changes very much and I might one day declare blog as useless. Time passes very slowly ever since I ended my exams on 3rd May. I only remembered that I slept for like 18 hours on the next day? Haha! I slept until I had a headache and puffy eyes. However I didn't slept much for the last two days.
Last Friday, our wing had a steamboat dinner together. It was supposed to be our last reunion dinner because all my neighbours(except shuiyen) was graduating which means that they are leaving. There wasn't any sad moments at all. I think it's because that Nana, Grace and B1 will be going for the expedition trip also and I will still be able to see them for the next one month. Saudi actually graduated last semester, however we still maintained good contact and I guess I will seeing Rohting often also. Hence there wasn't any "goodbyes" for the moment. Another reason I think it's because I've been sad for months already, therefore the pain is not as intense anymore. As I've said many times before, I'm really very grateful to know all these wonderful seniors who took good care of me for the past two years. They have been my pillars of support when I was down and my listeners when I was happy. I just love all of them! And I know departing is inevitable. It's part of life that everyone has to undergo. It was a sumptuous dinner and we all ate heartily. After dinner was mahjong time and I played till 3 plus in the morning.. The next day I had to wake up at 9am for tuition however my kid forgot about it totally! Hence tuition was pushed to Sunday morning. Spent the whole of Saturday afternoon doing a powerpoint slide as a 21st birthday gift for Qifang at Zhongrui's house. It wasn't easy at all with Murphy's law working on us, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong". When we were finally done, it was already almost 8pm and we were supposed to be there at 630? In the end, we reached there at 9pm just in time to meet some old classmates and cake-cutting-cum-phototaking session. After that, I followed the Hall 6 people to Newsroom Bar for their bash. I sort of drank alcohol with an empty stomach, therefore two glasses of Vodka Lime sort of made me giddy and I danced very hard after that. It would have been more fun if my friends were there with me. All the while, I was dancing with my seniors and it wasn't as fun because I was not so close too them, but decent enough to keep me happy. The music was very good. A good mix of retro and hip-hop. I really respect Sab and Cui who always have guys picking them up but too bad, they were taken already! Hah! Anyway I don't really have good feeling about those guys who try to pick girls at these places. They seem too desperate. By 2am, I felt like my legs were going to die on me. However, I could not leave(and I did not want to leave) because the locker key is with one of my seniors. I didn't want to leave because I don't want to take cab by myself as it would be damn expensive. I was expecting that my seniors will be kind enough to send me home and she did! Hee. We left the place at 3 plus and I reached home at 4am. Had to wake up at 9am to give tuition remember? Yup, that's my sleep-less two nights. So tired now....
Woah.. Not bad as a first post.. Just hope that I will keep updating.. Tata~
