reflect.

nisha invited the girls to the pop party @ zouk today. some funky party lah. that guy who imitated britney spears was super hilarious. i was so entertained by him! got a video of him dancing, heh. i think brandon can dance way better than him la honestly, but that britney guy is already good enough.

the girls continued to club at phucture or i dunno where, while i decieded to be anti-social and go home. haha. to be honest, clubbing isn't my kind of thing lah but i wont mind going once in a while with friends. was really damn tired. for the past 13 days (cept for this monday) it's 2am sleep, 6pm wake up. cannot tahan already. even during weekends, i dont get to wake up late! it's NDP training in a few hours time =/ (but if it's YLC every weekend, i dont mind man, seriously!). really damn tired now, but i need to blog... cause...

ok, so i decided to walk to clarke quay to take night rider.. not to save on cab money, but it's just one of the rare days which i feel like walking down the streets alone in the quiet night, spend sometime with myself, reflect on things that had happened.. it was a damn long journey lah.. but the walk was worth it.. cause i bumped into uncle liangyu at the bus stop! he just had supper nearby and was on his way home too. so got bus khaki. woo! while waiting for the bus to come, we're reminscing our time in muchuan... and i realised i've never used the new overbrigde that connects central to the opposite. it was still under contruction when i left there.

memories just flooded back like a waterfall. i truthfully miss working there, miss rushing to there after sports and wellness every wednesdays together with hanyang and chiong to work every tuesdays after a freaking long day of lectures, miss everything there. the curry rice from kitchen, my favourite devil's island and mango mania (i swear, only the 6 of us can make the drinks so perfect.), supper after work, late night movies, counting down for xmas and new year, walking back from cine to muchuan and spent our first night of 2008 there..

and i'll definitely not forget about waiting stupidly for a friend till near 4am, sitting alone at the bus stop from 12midnight with my handphone dead. that was some stupid but also cool memory yea. hahahaha. had a nice chat with uncle ly along the way home.. and really time passed super quickly. when i started working, i was about to enter poly back then.. now, i'm already waiting to go into uni and the rest are all working already. it kinda amazed me sometimes that we can still be quite close to each other, but i'm really thankful for that. really.

misses the days and the place and some of the people a lot. whenever i pass by clarke quay, i'll always have a weird but nice feeling. some things never change.

ok, nights! NDP training later! excited! :)

THANK YOU, MS TXW

this post is dedicated to ms tan xiang wei, cause she said
"i also will support your decisions, no matter what you make"

THANK YOU LAAAA. :)

btw, i was damn happy when i got your letter that day k. just that i didnt have time to blog about it then. 谢谢你 :)

i know i owe you a letter. don't haunt me for it. when it's time, it'll reach you. HAHAHAHA. :)

bye, and yes work sucks.

smiled at 1:59:00 pm

change

someone told me:

"Knowing you, I really don't think you'd be happy with doing repetitive stuff for long. =)"

and surprising, this came from someone whom i didn't think that would me know me so well enough. maybe i'm a book that is easily to read.

honestly, i don't think i'm happy at my current work place. it's just plain boring and mindless stuffs, no challenges, no excitement, nothing to look forward to everyday. very tired of this kind of life already. =/

i should do something that i enjoy even though it's voluntary work right.. i think i would be much more happier.

life is so short, why torture myself being unhappy doing the things that i dont like right! i'm decided, i will embark on my voluntary life as a journalist for ovb soon. :) serve the school! WOOOHOOO.

university.

and so.. my NUS scholarship application wasn't successful.
for the first time in my life, i got a rejection. don't worry, i'm fine :)
it's weird. i'm rejected but i dont feel any tinge of sadness. in the very first place, i didn't pin any hopes on it all. (and NTU confirm is gone case also! haha) back then i was thinking, since there might be a slight chance, why not give it a try. i tried, and i failed. but it's okay!

it's okay not getting something you wanted. cause i believe everything happen for a reason. something else is waiting for me i guess :)

i'm not a smart kid. there're definitely tons of people out there who exceled way much better than i did and there are more amazing people out there. the ones who deserved it, should get it. :) and on the related note, i'm really proud of you, my friend! U definitely deserved it and I know you'll excel. I'm really very happy for you.

i'm really thankful to ngee ann for being so kind to me for the past three years. it came as a surprise when i knew i got the scholarship. like i said, i was never a smart kid and there're many people out there who are better than me! i'm really thankful for the trust the committee had in me and the interviewers who believed in me back then. although i didn't graduate as the top student, but i managed to get myself a COM. that's at least something right. I will prove to those who believed in me that one day, i'll make it big. and i've never forget what ngee ann has given me for the past three years. that scholarship really meant a lot to me and it movitated me to work damn hard, and i swear i've really done my very best. if not for that, i don't think i would even have the chance to worry about choosing which uni now.

which brings me to another point, i'm kinda decided. thank you marvin for your long email. i really appreciated it alot and it definitely enlightened me. marv is one person that i really salute since i got to know him. and he's a PSC scholar! WOOHOOOO. i always felt that one day he'll become some MP (i had the feeling way before he got his PSC scholarship) and i know i'll be very proud of him, so do the rest of us. and cheryl hoon, i thank you for always supporting me decisions, and this time round, i'm sure my decision will make you damn happy. :)

hui mei is happy. with or without scholarship, as long as i work hard and put in my very best effort, it doesn't matter anymore. i know i'll do well. :)

back to school - YLC 1

400th post :)
must blog at a special place! haha.

my current location is the loft @ 94. (ngee ann's apartment!)
having Youth Leaders' Camp now :)
it's really really very good to be back in school! and i really miss the ambs and the camps lots. =/
so nice seeing the graduated ambs as well as the junior ambs back. ambs really played a big part in my poly life. seeing the juniors growing, it's a very touching thing. am just really glad that i've decided to come back and help :)

the campers are so lively, fun and super energtic. and cute too! i mean they are young kids what.. sec 2 or 3 only!

i think i havent posted photos on the loft before.. it's a awesomely nice place! i should take some photos later in the morning and show you how cool this place is! and once again, i'm bunking in with ahchoy, my telepathic twin! the girls are like asleep already, i'm the sole 'survivor' now.. cause just have the urge to blog. gotta wake up at 6am later!

some photos for day 1 of YLC. we cornered a section of makan place just for the campers! :) damn cool right!

some of the Student Leaders who were jagar-ing the area. really really miss this bunch of people lots!

and i 'saw' chengxi! HAHAHAHA.

Sadly, this would most probably be my very last camp in ngee ann. =/ so i'm treasuring every moment and i'll make the best out of it! it really feels so so so good to be with the people that i love and enjoy working with. a quote from night at the museum 2: the key to happiness is doing something that you love with the people you love.

and i found the key today. :)

i was talking to a camper just now and he was asking if i've visited every spot of NP since the capmus is like so big! and it just dawn on me that yes, the school is really really big. big till the extent that even though two people might be from the same school, but for the 3 years, both of you have NEVER run into each other before! but i still love this big big school! :)

alright, need to sleep! :) it's gonna be a tiring but exciting day later!

<3 ambs!

at work!

i'm blogging at SSC now, at the reception counter!
for once, i can use internet freely..

super sian of my work already seriously. i guess office kinda work is just not tailored for me.
or maybe i guess don't really agree with how the some things operates and slow down work operation. but well, this is work life.

on the other note, i'm an official NDP usher! woohoo! :) after so many years of wanting to be a part of NDP, finally got the chance to do so. though it's volunteery work, and my saturdays would be dedicated to trainings and it also means missing alot of good concerts in june, july and august! (and missing *something* else too. =/ heh). but i think it'd be worth it! :) i'm looking really forward to it. and yay, elaine is in it also.. so is miranda and i think many more people that i know too, just that i dont know yet. haha.

talking to this security guard now.. she's very nice and interesting person! always enjoy reception duty cause no need to sit in the boring office.

okkk. ms poh is calling me le! later she say i act busy again. bye!

.........

i need to talk to someone. shake, i need ur advice! i really need to talk to you!
feeling rather bothered recently. yuchih says maybe cause i'm too free at work already, so i start to think A LOT. i agree. =/

it seems that the bubbly hui mei is disappearing. i dont want that to happen!

just had a long chat on the phone with ahzhi. it's great, cause we both didnt talk for so long on the phone for such a long time already. she's asking me don't think so much.. but i just can't help it lah. if not what's my brain for right! hahaha.

surprisingly, i've found someone whom i can really open up to so easily... things that i usually wouldn't tell anyone, i can just tell her straight so easily. haha. thank you YOU (ahemm.. i know you read my blog. yes it's you lah! don't laugh.) for listening to all my really random craps and please ... delete that convo! it's actually my twin talking to you, not me you see! lol.

happy start, unknown ending.

i was thinking... why people write blogs.

i guess for some, they just wanted to record their life down to serve as memories. for some, they blog for the sake of blogging, to show off their awesome life and check how popular they are. for some, they blog to keep their friends updated.

but what's exactly the real reason for blogging? I debated with myself for quite a long time, and i realised.. the real reason is perhaps because.. the blogger has no one to talk to, no one to share his/him feelings in that instant.. and has to retort to 'talking' to the computer. well, i don't deny i am one of them. there certainly are times when you can't find someone to talk about something that very moment...or rather you can't find the correct person to talk to...and ta-da you realised, your forever and ever best friend is always here. your blog!

so yes, here i am to ramble about something. just read from chengxi's blog that he won't be renewing his contract which ends this coming july. I still remembered vividly last year apr i had an interview with him on the day when he went back to the hill to discuss about his contract.. and he was so bubbly and nice. Been a year.. and of course things will change as time progress. I've always envisioned one day when I really become a journalist, i'll meet chengxi on a press conference and he'd be like the leading actor for the show... that would certainly be a heartwarming feeling i guess! Well, maybe the day will really come! nobody knows :) anyway, it'll be such a pity not to see him on screen (at least for now!) cause i can't go around showing off to people that "hey! chengxi acted damn well right! I know him leh! so proud of him!" HAHAHAHA. (but really. that isn't the reason. from a journalist POV, we like meeting real & easygoing celebs. you know. i know.)

suddenly a tinge of sadness fall upon me. do i unknowingly bring back luck to people? or maybe.. cchms is a curse or something? =/ look at jones. (hmmm. jiaxi too?) now chengxi. i know is totally no link lah, but you know.. i think a lot one. eh, if you wanna become famous someday, please don't befriend me k! hahaha. ok, console myself.. at least i know one ex-singer and ex-actor! lol. but i'm very sure one day these two dudes will be back to where they're supposed to be :)

I quote from The Alchemist:
"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. "

it might....be a happy ending afterall. :)

swollen feet; happening day

moshi moshi! (reminds me of aunty ivan. haha. so long never hear people use this as phone greeting until today...perhaps aunties and uncles like using that? hahahah.)

i shall reveal why today is a so-called a happening day! we gave a "make-over" treat (well, it only consisted of a haircut and getting a dress!) to ms jalyn cai whose 20th birthday was on monday. kinda exciting cause.. i guess it's something we've never done before to our friends. hahaha. jalyn is like the first genuie pig! lol. but it turned out quite well and i guess she enjoyed it! :) i need to get the pdf file voucher from elaine. it's damn cute.. hahaha. yes, we even made her a voucher! we're sooo sincere about this man! :)

i wanted a haircut too.. but the salon that jalyn went just dont give me a good vibe about it.. tt's why in the end never cut. ahh! i should try jiaxi's hairstylist who is apparenlty quite good.. wanted to recommend to jalyn but they dont wanna go tampines one.

it was then rushing down to artchemist to meet damon & jones. ohman, even damon says my hair is very long now! (really.need.to.cut.) been almost 1.5 years since i last visited them...(yes, my hair will grow one mah. hahaha.) the place is still as arty farty & cosy. hahaha. the last time i went there was to borrow their room for advert photoshoot. they're so nice to let us use for free la..

damon, me, my forever idol (HAHAHAHAH!) & yuchih

this was taken 2 years back when I first visited them with yuchih and found out that damon graduated from ngee ann too! (okk, there's alot of ngee ann grads out there lah.. but well, you know..there's still this certain connection. heh) I'm just happy to know that business is doing okk and both of them are doing well. i'll try my very best too, seniors! ;)

then it was enduring the painfulness of my squashed toes in the pretty but tortoring pairs of heels going back to orchard to meet the girls for dinner and we decided to settle down at soeul garden. haven't been there for almost 4 years i guess? the only fun part i enjoyed was making the ice-kachang. hahaha. i can make damn nice ice-kachang lah! next time if i dont have a job, i'll go be ice-kachang seller! hahahah. i feel so sinful after the meal. really is need to start exercising!

wendy missing from the photo!

my awesome ice-kachang! isn't it pretty!

Time to get back to saving my xin.sg articles! byeee! :)

happy labour day.

if you've realised..(yes, you must have la!)..i've finally changed my blogskin. woohoo. get rid of the kiddish-ness. hahaha.

it's public holiday today, which means no work! (: mother's day celebration for my mum's side later... today is just gonna be a slacking day for me. (finally!)

watched "the ramen girl" preview screening on monday.. and it's so-so only. don't like the ending! but i had cravings for ramen after the movie. heh!

tuesday was meet up with weizheng & chengyao for the long-awaited buffet treat! finally after almost four years, cy & i got our treat from weizheng... i'll do a separate post on it later, lazy to upload photos now. hahaha.

tmr is gonna be an exciting day! i can't say why now. but yes, i'm looking very very forward. *grins widely* but then again, i'm kinda worried too. just hope everything goes well! :)

tag me ok! i changed my tagboard so it's not alive now! make it alive! heh :)
