this post SUCKS

I type a whole chunk out just now to rant my feelings but the coward me did not dare to publish it. No idea why I did that as well. I am just utterly CUI and SAD NOW.. dad may agree to let me go post chingay but all I can say he dun understand me, or should I say the things I do. I believe there is a commitment towards everything and he just disapproves of mine!! I am once again plain old easy going MX that can accept any kind of criticism given my cheerful and positive personality. But cheerful people do have emotional and sad moments and that is ME now!! All i can say is whatever things I promise, I will not break it and will try to fufill it. I am not wonder woman but I aspire to be so that the people arnd me could be happy. I have loads of commitments with the purpose to show my appreciation and gratitude but people fail to see that and view my commitments as barriers to entry!!
All i know is from now onwards, dad set a rule. No more computers after 12 am!! I must sleep b4 12 ( that is so KNS, my body clock cant adjust)!! NO More NDPs or CHINGAYs!! ( that is equally shit as well) I really love the cultural events atmosphere and perhaps a few other restrictions this hols.somehow I got gut feeling he would not let me go for SL camp or chalet as well. Whether will I follow these rules, I hv no idea but one thing for sure I am super sad but I know I will be all right tmr if deep down I know what I am doing!! so much so for the start of hols!! HAPPY LEAP YEAR

OVER OVER OVER

OVER OVER OVER!! I REPEAT OVER!! The stupid exams are finally over and this is really a goodbye to freshman year in Temasek Polytechinc. Off to a brand new chapter of junior year even though I am going to miss my class so badly. Thank you 06-ians for bringing so much joy to my polylife!! Thanks for all the laughter, makan sessions, crap gossip, helping me out whenever possible. Most importantly, thanks for making me enjoy school each and every single day. I believe when one person enjoys school, it just makes learning much easier. Education seems better as well haha!! 3 papers this round for exam!! The first 2 was pretty all right but marketing was pretty shiat!! I think I am not the kind that has this wide brain to think marketing haha! But still I try my best lol!!
Over the past 1 plus week of studying, there was simply too many emotions. Tiring, shocked, freaked, laughing, happy anxious and yes stress of course. So many things happened for example:
Edison Chen came back to HK to explain his scandal business. SHAME on him K seriously. I still feel girls are victims
Lydia Sum passed away! The freaky thing was I rmb we were talking about her when playing danyonghaji then the next moment we know she is gone. As mentioned LIFE IS SUPER FRAGILE!! I admit if from the bottom of my heart. Another experience which just happened on monday, after OB paper! I was desperately wanting to study my idiotic marketing cause people were explaining all the terms which I seem to catch nothing within. Anyway at night, my dad called and say his godmother pass away and ask that we come to the funeral. I did not want to but yes I did so, sacrificing that 3 hours of study. When we reach that place, we realise my dad godmother aka my grandmother in an indirect way, she was dying and not dead. She was at her own home though which I thought is really the best place to die in. In future when I pass away, I want it to be in a home and not some stinky hospitals with all the sickening tubes. The best, die in your sleep. GO without any regrets or feeling haha!! Either case she was dying and we sorta came to pay her the last respects. Apparently it is that CANCER illness again!! Doctor claim 48 hours! But she persevered all the way till my wheelchair bound grandfather came. They were the closest and after my grandfather came, right in front of everybody she pass away! I really did not witness that particular moment but I was still there and it was really shocking to me! A moment I enter the room she was still trying her best to breathe and mainly through he rmouth, the next moment I enter she was just lying there not moving. As mentioned moving on and the body is once again just another empty shell as she move on to search for another shell!
I was really really freak and shcok that when i went home, I could not study marketing at all! So I had to choing all the next day! But that is not an excuse for me to screw up the paper. I shld have prepare earlier
So carrying on! Beside all the RAH RAH here and there from the media side or family side, the past few days, studied practically everyday outside. I realise my home is a dangerous place for me if I should study alone. There is the bed and so many others. Studying outside somehow can make me concentrate more! That is my mentality and yeah I think TSC is really the power place to study! Firstly, no noise, it is windy and there is simply no temptation there. If you should feel sian go chanting room and chant haha!! that was my logic. I camp there for 3 days during the study week. thursday friday saturday and yeah it was with mainly dear xingyi xitao lionel shirui
me and lee xingyi
Besides them also have yk and benji. We studied at starbucks slurping kopi! Yeah kopi rocks!!!
Of course I studied with pangseke roo jes sponge zat and papaya as well!! We studied everywhere school coffee bean burger king houses everywhere!! oh well particularly on wednesday I was kinda BRIGHT haha cause it was only me pangseke and roo. We were studying and preparing papaya 20th birthday present and the thing is THEY WERE AT MY HOUSE. I cant help it to be the bright one even if I dun wanna be haha!! Ok I am so going to get smacked by the 2 OFFICIAL ( emphasis***) LOVEBIRDS if they should see these post which they most prob will!!
PANGseke and hammie ang!! you 2 are simply the most cutest couple I ever seen and yeah all of us are super happy for you all 2
random shots during studying
oh yeah and this was the product from being the bright one. We fufull papaya wish of being aikido sexy wife and bought her a sexy purplish bra. Oh well, she wanted bra in the first place. HAPPY BELATED B DAY PAPAYA!! u are 20 thats old hahaha!!

so yes back to yesterday! After mktg, supposedly have to go to TCA to get our measurements done for our next sem module Service Skills Methodology! Honestly I am not really looking forward. Partially, it was due to the fact that I am a klutz and I am really scared of offening people through my clumpsiness!! But still, compulosry. When October comes, it will be zooming off to sentosa already!! THIS IS WHAT U GET IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE IN THE HOSPI LINE haha!! Anyway we did not do our measurements due to the fact that we have growling stomachs and foul mood from mktg. So we went to eat and off to settlers. GUESS WHAT
IT CLOSE DOWN like OMG.. the katong outlet close down!!! WTH!!I better mark it down somewhere about the closure! The last time I came was together with shirui taitai and yumin haha!! STUDENT PACKAGE
anyway we have the yellow blue blue yellow woman fouling!! papaya was an exception

Although settlers close down, a consolation, a pet shop nearby it. OMG THERE WAS A GOLDEN RETRIEVER.. my FAVOURITE DOG.. the fur was so smooth and it was so friendly haha..If I had to buy a big dog, it gotta be the golden retriever. Somehow other big ones like huskies as proven by jian li dog seem so scary so yeap golden retriever is like the most gentle one to me. PLUS there was terriers aka yk dogs lady baby and brownie series inside toy poodles, this little wolf like dog, chiwawa even malteses.. THEY ARE SIMPLY AWESOME.. I want a dog suddenly but at the sacrifice that my mom will move out of the house HUMPH!! jian li's husky
After that we zoom off to parkway but I left for marina to meet my friend b4 going down to SYC to meet up with the other fellow trainers!! All of us were sharing our experiences and it really brought back alot of memories! I STLL MISS CHINGAY K haha!! so I am certainly looking forward to 1st march hehe

AT NIGHT!! TON AT ROO HSE with papaya!! supposedly tonning became a sleeping session. We slept real fast cause we were all so drain out from the whole day. but when we woke up!! WE went nuts! the thing is ROO room is simply a DIY room.. She have all her barang that she can use to create a shop including funky sun glasses! So here is like the series of sunglasses and retardacy
the lost apprenticeact cool and bimbo wannabeshusband and wife the fashionable chiobuthe emo wanna bethe Techno IT geekclassic nerd.. wanna be arabthe blind soul
THIS IS SIMPLY SO RETARDED.. all right I am finally done with this long entry of mine. =)!! hooked to iron chef now and OMG it is so amazing they can make such delicate dishes out of simple ingredients. I was particularly amazed with the veal episode. Tmr MOVIE!! mx is a happy gal cause it is the holidays
P.S ( 3 cheers to Ophelia for designign sucha beautfiul lionfish shirt)

CHINGAY 2008 OCEAN OF HARMONY!!!

I am suffering from the I MISS CHINGAY/LIONFISH/TRAINERS/OCEAN OF HARMONHY SYNDROME!! Once again, another journey down memory road. The past 4 months for me has been such a wonderful experience and out of the so many cultural events I had participated b4, chingay 2008 by far ranked on the top of my list. 3 times a week sometimes 4 meet ups. Training till late at night, the whole entire day or even in the rain. Chanting together until the clouds disperse and everything was accident free.Choinging my projects after training, sleeping super late. Learning to take the initiative, one more step ahead and gathering the courage to face a huge crowd of people. I had fun laughter tears headache sick frustration encouragement friends family and my 16 girls who never failed to make me happy everytime I go training. Of course not forgetting beloved counterpart peijun for being a big sister always guiding me be it in terms of dance encouragement and her determined spirit. Cheorographers yue yin mei lun sikang yvonne. Without them = no ocean of harmony. Of course fellow trainers plus chief trainers ivan and weixin for always being there to work together hand in hand. The 2 days of performance was totally a SUCCESS and when we ended near the floating platform yesterday. I cried and the tears I drop was tears of both joy and struggle.I was a water bag, it just kept flowing and flowing especially during debrief where everyone commented how well everything went plus during saying the goodbyes to the lionfishes.The road was really long for the past 4 months and during all these goodbyes and comments, I was reminded of my struggles and suddenly it just make everything so worthwhile with the sucess of the performance. Once again we show the public the soka youthful spirit, we showed everybody the student division spirit and at the end when all trainers item ICs cheorographers sang young eagles on the road, BAH more tears. Come to think of it, I was DUMB to even think of hesitating to take up the trainer role 4 months ago and if anyone should ask me did I ever regret, I would proudly SAY NO cause throughout, I am proud to say I learn something new, I create a significant memory inside my mind. THIS chingay is the first time I was put as a trainer, first time it was done at city hall, first time there is a stage during the whole parade, first time I saw new year fire crackers, first time seeing an F1 Car and all these first times are things that add on to its significance. Thank goodness I had a camera and I could really take a photo of all these first times.

Thank my project mates during the past 4 months for understanding my situation and letting me zao early for training!! Thanks every single individual and friend who help me!!
