I'm back!
I haven't really had to chance to post my thoughts and feelings all these while. So much has happened and this is going to be a short entry too.
Now that I'm using the old-school dial-up connection, I can't stay online for too long, because that would deter people for calling my house phone.
I wish I could apply for broadband connection but not in the near future.
That's all for now first.
Just dropping by to say "Hello"

guess who's back
I have shifted back home, for good. Sigh.
Special thanks to Wilson who gave me a lift on Saturday and Saudi who helped me shifted my stuff back home on Sunday.
The whole of last week was devoted to expedition, and I didn't have much time to settle the millions of unsettled stuff. Even till now, 75% of my brain is occupied with expedition stuff.
I took freaking long to pack my stuff. Spent lots of time thinking which are the ones that I should keep and which are the things that I should dump. There were a lot of flashback memories and it's really amazing how everything just seems so yesterday.
I woke up sobbing on Saturday morning, because I see myself crying when trying to send off some of the expedition members who will be coming back early. The sadness is so real and I think I will cry a lot when the trip is over. I hate goodbyes.
Polly was watching me pack all the while and we were chatting along fine, but it hit me hard when she said she's going out already.
Moving back has a whole lot of meaning.
Moving back means no freedom.
Moving back means lots of restrictions.
Moving back means you have to care, you can't "don't care" anymore.
Moving back means you are now padlocked inside the house. No more "TI TI" simon-voss lock.
Moving back means you have to socialize with your family members, even if you are not in the mood.
Moving back means you cannot do whatever you want anymore.
Basically, you get the idea uh.
And it's not going to help if you are starting on a new phase of your life.
Things get worse when your mother is utterly disappointed in your choice of career and she's totally not supportive at all.

it's always hard to say goodbye
This is the collage that chen guobao did for us (me and polly). She had packed most of her stuff and shifted them back home.This morning when I wanted to tell her that something had struck me, I saw her tearing in front of the laptop. Initially, I thought she was sad because she is moving back home already. After which then I realized that she's upset for her sister. At that moment of time, I was still telling myself, if I were to comfort her and tell her that there's nothing to be sad about, I would be lying.
We ordered KFC delivery and while waiting for her dad to come, we helped her bring her stuff to the car porch. We ate lunch on the floor in my room, was just commenting on how shiok it was to eat KFC for the longest time. Then guobao started shifting the rest of her stuff back once she finished her lunch. I was still asking Polly, should we write her a card or something, but it was too late, she was going to leave soon. And just when she made her second last trip to the car porch, she gave us a handmade card each. I was really touched and then it struck me that soon we are going to say goodbye. Polly kept saying that she's an emotionless person who could not tear easily. It was a huge card by the way, and I really like the photos.
Thanks guobao! It has been a really fun and cosy semester with Polly and guobao! From a full strength of 9 people to an active strength of 3 people, I think we have also created a lot of memories that belongs to only the three of us and I really appreciate the effort each of us had put in.
We made effort to eat breakfast together.
We made effort to brush teeth together.
We made effort to come out and chat together.
We made effort to cheer for each other during IHG.
We made effort to encourage each other during exams.
We made effort to make a fool of ourselves and laughed heartily at one another.
That's probably why it's always hard to say goodbye.

非你莫屬
〈對白〉：你知道嗎？我很喜歡牽著你的手的感覺。發生什麽樣子我好希望再來一次。
懂得讓我微笑的人
再沒有誰比你有天分
輕易闖進我的心門
明天的美夢你完成
整個宇宙浩瀚無邊的盡頭
每顆渺小星球全都繞著你走
愛我非你莫屬
我只願守護由你給我的幸福
愛我非你莫屬
也許會笑著哭
但那人是你所以不怕苦
懂得讓我流淚的人
給的感動一定是最深
在我心中留下傷痕
你同時點亮了星辰
那麽多相遇
偏偏只和你
天造地設般產生奇跡
喔我心的縫隙
我想除了你
任誰也無法填補這空虛
懂得讓我微笑的人
再沒有誰比你有天分
輕易闖進我的心門
明天的美夢你完成
整個宇宙浩瀚無邊的盡頭
每顆渺小星球全都繞著你走
愛我非你莫屬
我只願守護由你給我的幸福
愛我非你莫屬
也許會笑著哭

Here comes May..
On the first day of May, I woke up at 730am, even though the weather is DAMN nice to sleep in. Was sms-ing Ng Tze Chong about cancelling of the beach trip and go bowling instead. But he insisted on meeting first and eat Mac bf. Idiot! In the end, meeting time was postponed to 1030am.
Oh! The night before I went for a run! *3 claps! It's one of the few self-initiated runs and I ran alone! Haha! Woo.. It's been quite some time since I last ran. I must say I felt damn light after running, maybe because of the poor blood circulation. Hah! Aiyoh.. but my knee ached a lot. These few days have been very conscious about my knee. I think sometimes when I was walking I did not fully straightened it, that's why it seems that I'm limping.
Alright, back to the beachy thing.
Oh yah! Before that, while trying to kill time before setting off from hall. I played the all-time -favorite Ben & Jerry's game. Woohoo! I actually got into the highscore chart with 4700 points! (Check http://www.benjerry.com.sg/fun_stuff/games/pastyoureyes/highscores.cfm). Sounds damn childish but hey.. it ain't no easy k! Now that I've conquered B&J, I need to source for a new challenge. Haha!
And so, we met at 1045am and went to the food market for brunch. In retrospect, I ate ALOT yesterday. There goes my run..
By the time we reached the beach, it was already 11plus. There were a lot of people and a lot of dogs. All kinds. The weather wasn't really ideal for me. Hee. It was cloudy for the whole early afternoon and it kind of made me sleepy and lethargic. We played a lot of volleyball and played with two groups of people. There's only one court available hence everyone was vying for the same court, but the six of us refused to get out.
Finally when we stopped playing, it was already 2plus? It started to drizzle. The kind of rain that will last for a while and yet does not hinder you from playing. I dozed off for a while in the shelter while the rest went to the pool. Didn't feel like getting wet when there is no sun.
Before that, during rest time, JT asked Zhiye why his chest is concaved in. Then that stupid Zhiye replied that he was the national hero during WWII and helped Singapore blocked the atomic bomb. WTF? It's damn hilarious lah! I couldn't stop laughing for like 10 mins.
The sun finally showed itself at 3plus. I quickly slapped some sunblock and went for a swim in the water. But sentosa's beach is very disappointing.. So much litter! When we wanted to play volleyball again, there isn't any available court. I suggested that we could buy a set of beach vball equipment for Zhicong for his bday, so that next time he will have to bring the equipment out and the rest of us will benefit. We left at 5plus, wanted to have dinner at Vivo initially, but the parking is a nightmare. So in the end, we went to some chicken rice stall strongly recommended by Zhicong at Prinsep street. It turned out to be some very old school HK restaurant. The setting is almost like the one you will see on Zhen Qing and we were there to pull the mean customer age to 40yrs old. The food wasn't that fantastic but the service is damn efficient. Luckily, we were there slightly earlier than the dinner crowd.
After dinner, we went to walk around Bugis for a while before they decided to go Minds Cafe at Clark Quay. I didn't join them because I had agreed to meet Rohting at Vivo. So I took the bus and reached Vivo at 730pm. I kept walking and walking aimlessly while waiting for RT. In the end, I walked for an hour plus before I got to see her. We went Secret Recipe for DINNER and DESSERT. It's amazing how I can eat. Anyway, I told her that I'm joining Suyi in her agency. She was shocked at first, and talked a lot about choosing the right manager. Hmm.. after hearing what she said, I wasn't inspired or anything. As in, it's just different goals that we are looking for and they are no where close to one another.
Anyway, the rest of May will be damn exciting and bustling with activities. So stay tuned.

i only love cleaning E320
Now that I'm QUITE free, I shall blog about my last moments in hall. Hee
I'm not sure if I will be able to keep this blog after I shift back home because there's no longer free and fast internet connection.
I probably need to retract what I've said in my previous post. Haha!
After a brain-draining meeting with Master in the evening, my passion just died. I wonder if ending exams early is a blessing or a suffering. There are tons of things I need to do to compile a SOP for expedition. TMD! The guys just got away because they are still having exams. Can tell that Master favors the guys more, merely because he thinks guys who went through army are MEN with same frequency as him. *Rolls eyes.
I did a spring cleaning for E320. Haha! I think it's the final time that I'm cleaning it. Will be moving out in three weeks' time. Damn fast. I've been staying in the same room for three years and I really like it very much. I like the view. I like the wind. I like my neighbors. I like every corner. And I've maintained it very well. Serious! Have been cleaning it weekly throughout my stay. I can't explain why the conscientious effort in cleaning up the room when I'm a rather untidy and very lazy person. Seriously, I seldom do housework at home but I really enjoy the weekly cleaning ups. And I take pride in them. There's always a great sense of happiness after the room is cleaned up.
Each time I would start from the fan. Then the windows. Desk. Bed. Sweep. Mop. Shift the bed. Sweep. Mop. Shift back the bed. Flip the chair. Clean its wheels. Clean the other chair. Then sweep. Mop. Mirror. Sweep. Mop.
E320 is 11.6 x 8.5 squares big.
I envy the next owner.

it's finally over
I've finished my last paper in NUS! HURRAY!
The happiness is so immense that I can't help but to keep grinning to myself!
Very very glad that it's all over, though I still have one more grueling FYP presentation to go.
After which will be the long-awaited expedition trip! Rocks la!
Hmm... But I guess the happiness is short term. I need to start planning for my future path. Can't play for too long because I need to help my mother in supporting the family.
It's a good thing that I finished my exams early, compared to others. I can enjoy my last moments in hall leisurely, although I need to work hard for expedition, which I'm not complaining because I'm more than happy to contribute for the team (What a mouthful!).
Didn't sleep much last night, cos I was painstakingly doing my LAST cheat sheet till 3am in the morning.
Close up
A great sense of achievement. If only I have more time to do it earlier, then the second page will be as filled too. Hee
I'm going to auction off my cheat sheet! Haha!

disappointed
yesterday i went home before coaching.
my mum asked me about my job search. i said "i told you before that i wanted to be an insurance agent".. then she said "我對你真得很失望"
i was even more devastated when i heard that..
i understand all her concerns about not having a fixed salary and no CPF savings and how i have wasted my four years of university.
i know i have disappointed her in some ways..
but all these just spurred me even more to succeed.
to prove her wrong.
After coaching, I met up with Mingzi, Sab and Wanyi. Initially, I thought we were having dinner in Tampines since we were already there. Then they told me that we were going Orchard. Then they asked whether I have any budget or not because "we are going to eat a $90 meal". Haha! I actually believed and said "ok".
In the end, we went to this Akira Japanese restaurant, which is a bit off Orchard. It is situated within a very serene and posh community. It was a Ala-carte buffet dinner. In the end, it costs $34.50 per person, but I must say, it was a DAMN GOOD meal! We kept ordering salmon sashimi and the variety is quite good. Maybe I was hungry, but everything tasted very fresh and tasty!
The four of us were very very full after the meal, so we sort of strolled along Orchard before I boarded the bus back hall.
Miso soup with salmon meat! Steaming hot and super yummy.
The lighting above our heads. The ambience was very nice, very Japanese.

shock of my life
Yesterday, I went Sheng Siong with Bernard to buy pegs and other stuff for expedition. On our way back, while waiting for the bus at the bustop, I was just curious to ask him about his previous relationship, so I asked him, "Is your previous relationship your first love?"
"No, first love was during Sec. 2 with Payne."
Then I got puzzled, because Payne was my ex-classmate when I was in 1B for the first 6 months. So I asked him, "How did you know girl?"
"She was my classmate."
Then I had a shock of my life. It meant that we were in the same class for the first 6 months!
But the weirdest thing is both of us had no recollection of each other at all!
Till now, I still can't believe that we can't remember each other at all, but we were able to mention a lot of other classmates.
I'm so going to find the yearbook this weekend!

freaking pissed off
I'm so pissed off!
Last week, I brought my sister to an optical shop in Chinatown for cheap spectacles. A week later, I went to collect her spectacles and passed to her on Saturday. The moment when she tested her spectacles, she said it was weird. I thought she meant the specs were not adjusted properly. So I asked to go check it out herself. Initially, I wanted to ask her to go back to the shop in Chinatown, but considering the distance, I didn't press on.
Just now, before I went coaching, she sent me an SMS saying that she went to the optical shop in Whitesands instead and the person told her that the degree in her left lens were too high for her. So I thought I will meet her on Tuesday again to go back to the shop in Chinatown for a change.
Instead she replied that the person wanted to change for her. Feeling puzzled, I called her to clarify. Then she told me the person actually charged $20 for the eye test, and if she change the lens, it would be $40. My poor sister with no money at the crucial time, agreed to let them change the lens. TMD! I'm freaking pissed off by the fact that they didn't inform my sister beforehand that they will charge her for the eye test! KNNBCCB! Fucking assholes!
I hate it when we have to spend all these unjustified money!

i wonder..
DnD was just over.. we (me, polly and huifen) went as "Ronaldinho"s, with suyi and jiayun as our "Wives And GirlfriendS". So our theme was "Wags And Ronaldinhos"
It could have more fun if there were more Ronaldinhos, because we really put in a lot of effort and it was really hilarious! Polly looked the cutest, as usual, because she is so tiny. HAHA!
Steps to become Ronaldinho:
1. Wear a thick dark-colored headband.
2. Plait all your hair.
3. Wear yellow jerseys with blue shorts, blue soccer socks and boots.
4. Print "RONALDINHO" and Brazil flag and paste on jersey.
5. Apply fake tanning lotion
6. Draw thick and black eyebrows.
7. Wear fake buck teeth. (Alternatively, use fake vampire's fangs and cut off the fangs)
8. Attach a mini soccer ball with an elastic band to boot.
9. Try to speak the Brazilian language. Anything with a lot of "si ..do..que...la"
Besides us, there are even more ridiculously dressed up table. B4 went as Talibans, C4 went as HK's triad gangsters, their acting are fantastic. D4 went as wrestlers. It was really funny. They put in a lot of effort preparing and they won the best dressed table. Luckily, ng tze chong has graduated, if not, he will surely boast about his victory again.
We had a lot of fun ourselves, but I'm not very impressed with the programme. I think the videos were abit disappointing. Polly and I are contemplating to do a senior video for MAB dinner which is on Wednesday, no time!
As I leaving hall myself, I wonder if people do look up to me. Haha! Not to say that I've did a lot but I'm just wondering. At the same time, I'm wondering if I have been a good big sister. Do my siblings look up to me? I've heard other people sharing their lives about having their elder siblings as their role models. But I doubt so, because I haven't been at home for most of the time. I wasn't around when my siblings are growing up. It's sad but I hope I can make it up when I moved back home after this semester.
It could have more fun if there were more Ronaldinhos, because we really put in a lot of effort and it was really hilarious! Polly looked the cutest, as usual, because she is so tiny. HAHA!
Steps to become Ronaldinho:
1. Wear a thick dark-colored headband.
2. Plait all your hair.
3. Wear yellow jerseys with blue shorts, blue soccer socks and boots.
4. Print "RONALDINHO" and Brazil flag and paste on jersey.

my IHG story
I wrote a short writeup about IHG this year..
__________________________________________________________
In all my years of playing badminton, I enjoyed playing for Eusoff the most.
For the four years that I have played for Eusoff, I’ve won three golds. Except this year. The first two years were easy win because we had a strong team and experienced players. The third year was tricky. We spent many many hours trying to come up with a win-win line-up. On paper, we seemed to be the stronger team, but somehow we knew we could not afford to be complacent and take our opponents too lightly. In the end, the line-up which we decided upon was the one which I was the most comfortable with. And so, it turned out that I was to play the crucial doubles match.
It was to be the match that I would never forget. This game was really tight, and I was surprised that I didn’t crack (too much) from the pressure and intensity of the situation. The most amazing part of the match was the support from all the fellow Eusoffians, of whom I need to specially mention Jane Hia. I thought she had probably lost her lungs after that match. Thank you. Of course, I won the match and the feeling was freaking exhilarating. Each time that I recall the moment, I feel like I’m at the top of the world. Thank you Eusoff, for giving me this priceless memory. And I would also like to thank the reporter who wrote my match report, which I still keep.
This year, even though we lost, I thought we lost to a better team. Not that I am trying to find excuses for ourselves, but it is a fact that the other team had shown a better team spirit than we had. Sometimes when I did look back, I do blame myself for not having been a good role model as a senior. For the past three years that I had been a junior, I always had a senior to look up to. I would always leave all the decisions to the seniors. I should have done more this year. Should have.
I would like to quote what Dr
Eusoff always,
Siang Hwee (old old mary goh)

i want to succeed
Money is not everything, but the sad truth of life, everything is money.
I want to be really successful in life, but not for myself. It's for my parents, my siblings and those people who had helped me when I needed help the most.
I want to be successful so that I can help others.
Was watching the charity last night and I was so tempted to call the donation line. I didn't, because ultimately it would be my mother making the donation.
I'm just waiting for the day that I can provide for my family. I can buy things for my family without hesitation, without feeling guilty or anything.

hello goodbye
it's been a while since i typed something on my blog.
lots have happened.. but it's impossible to pen down each and every event.
we just have another tom yam steamboat along the e3 corridor. i guess it's really one of the last few chances that we get to enjoy this closeness with each other.
i'm officially one month away from my thesis deadline. scary, freaking scary. but i really wished it would be over soon. i can't wait to get out.
i went for the AIA recruitment talk yesterday with suyi. i have decided to join as a financial services consultant after i graduated. i'm very determined to do well in this career although the hardships at the start are inevitable.
alright, that's all for my mini update.

幾米
《希望井》
掉落深井，我大聲呼喊，等待救援。。。
天黑了，黯然低頭，才發現水面滿是閃爍的星光。
我總在最深的絕望裏遇見最美麗的驚喜。
《相對論》
人不是魚，怎能了解魚的憂愁。
魚不是鳥，怎能了解鳥的快樂。
鳥不是人，怎能了解人的無知。
人不是鳥，怎能了解鳥的自由。
鳥不是魚，怎能了解魚的深沉。
魚不是人，怎能了解人的幼稚。
你不是我，怎能了解我的荒謬。
《惡作劇》
會不會掉下來，
潑落一地的水，還聽到嘲弄的笑聲。
會不會掉下來，
撞昏了頭，還聽到歡呼的叫聲。
在來不及互相擁抱，並學習相愛之前。
我們的情誼，就在這些小小的惡作劇中，
慢慢冷卻。
《請留言，我會儘快與你聯絡》
我在森林裏，打一通電話給城市的你。
答彔機說：“請留言，我會儘快與你聯絡。”
”你聽到風輕輕吹過的聲音嗎？
你聽到樹葉緩慢飄落的聲音嗎？
你聽到山林呼吸，還有我心臟快樂跳動的聲音嗎？
請儘快與他們聯絡，再見。”

Whistling a new tune

We come from a Great Great Hall
We come from EUSOFF
And we come as a FIGHTER of a Great Great Hall
We march on to Victory
And we march on to Glory
And we march with a spirit never seen before

I really like this cheer. Brings back all the memories.
another good reason
Somehow I am very reluctant to work on my interim presentation, not sure how am I going to get over it.. Because I did not put in effort for my interim report either...
Anyway, yesterday I came up with a reason of why am I not getting a boyfriend which I thought was pretty good..
Because I have no money and no time to maintain one
;P

兄妹
对我好对我好好到无路可退
可是我也很想有个人陪
才不愿把你得罪于是那么迂回
一时进一时退保持安全范围
这个阴谋让我好惭愧
享受被爱滋味却不让你想入非非
就让我们虚伪
有感情别浪费
不能相爱的一对
亲爱像两兄妹
爱让我们虚伪
我得到于事无补的安慰
你也得到模仿爱上一个人的机会
残忍也不是慈悲
这样的关系你说多完美
眼看你看着我看得那么暧昧
被爱爱人原来一样可悲
为什么竟然防备别人给我献媚
不能推不能要要了怕你误会
让我想起曾经爱过谁
我所要得她不给好像小偷一样卑微

Another new year..
Happy New Year! It's 2007 already!
Last night, I was counting down with my neighbours. We had steamboat for dinner and played poker and mahjong through the night. We managed to watch the fireworks from the lounge, too bad we were blocked by several buildings. I drank quite a bit last night and no one else was drinking as much. We managed to finish the bottle of Bailey's that I've bought and some beer. I was conscious but couldn't control my actions much. Luckily, I didn't had a hangover but by the time I was awake, half a day was gone already. Nana drove us to Clementi for lunch, after which we went to see the sinseh for Polly's ankle and my elbow. Now I have a bandaged elbow and I think I couldn't shower today. I can't even bend my elbow!
Anyway, about the new year. I have thought about my new year resolutions.
1. I must not be late for any appointments/meetings.
2. I must not waste time playing online games instead of reading and studying.
3. I must jog once a week.
4. I must not spend on tidbits.
Sounds a bit harsh but I hope I can keep to them.
