oh dear.. getting back o level results tomorrow at 2pm. it's less than one day away. i cant wait for the cheapo gang eating session after the results. but i hope that 2pm will never come. i hope time will come to a standstill. i hope that tomorrow will never ever come. so is this supposed to be good or bad? if tomorrow never came for me, it means that i died. bleah. i'm so blunt. haha. the fact of the matter is, that it will definitely come. and as fast as it comes, it'll soon pass. it's just this stupid psychological thing that gets everyone [ which includes me] worked up and anxious whenever we wait for results. cos it's a fact, it's there and nothing can change it. that's that. so now i shall try to put my mind off it. whatever it is, please do not ask me.

so when am i going to get my letter mr postman? argh. i cant stand this suspense, but neither do i want that day to come. you see, it's the release of the o level results. no one knows when it'll be. hopefully not tomorrow. i'd rather it be on monday. yeaps. but it'll come soon. i really dont know how i'd do. after the papers last year i felt that i would do alright, cos the maths and science, ss and geog papers were quite alright. but now i feel totally opposite from what i felt last year. darn. maybe it's just natural thing to feel this way. bleah. anyway, i better not think about this too much. just the other night i dreamt that i scored d7 for art. thank God i woke up soon enough and realised that it was all a dream. whew. last night's dream was better. i dreamt that i went to vietnam for a holiday. then i went motorbike racing on a scrambler. so cool right. we were racing on mud and the weird thing was that there were oysters in the mud and there was a pearl in each one of them. i heard that kobe pearls are the best pearls, but i never had any interest in any of them. so anyway, in my dream, there's this very huge rollercoaster beside our hotel. it's not those ordinary kind where people sat in the seats with solid seatbelts. in this roller coaster, people had to stand in the carriages and hold on to the sides of it. they had no limits to the number of people in one carriage, so long as everyone was tightly squeezed and could hardly move. this is so that we wouldnt fall out when the carriage turns upside down. so now you see, i always dream of weird things. really weird things. i also dream of people dying, especially my friends. i shall not name who, but i dream of them being executed. it's very grotesque. yup. oh. i think i've got a new mole on my leg. it's just a small one. not that obvious. heh. okies. i better end here. bye!

hha. what an incredible song. cos cassandra also starts with 'c'! yup. injured my left index finger yesterday morning. i think i sprained it. cant bend it properly. ouch. hopefully it's not arthritis. and darn. it's four short days to dooms day. in case you didnt know, it's the day of the release of the gce o level results, which is said to be the most important certificate in our life. but i beg to differ. i think the most important certificate we can ever have is our birth certificate [in the singapore context, cos maybe people in zimbabwe dont have birth certs]. without it, we wouldnt even have a chance to take our o levels cos we dont exist. yup. anyway, i'm not sure if i'm nervous or not. i partly cant wait to know what i got and partly dont want to know. alright. i shall not go on torturing my finger. bye! wish you heavy rains and strongs winds.

i dunno what to say today. still trying to pluck properly and practising the way sher taught me to. the one where i figure the key that the cd is playing in and play together with the song. i guess it's quite a good idea. i need to learn more strumming patterns too. bleah. and i still have no idea how to figure out chords with different basses myself. i'm so lousy. one day i must be as good as her!!! one day. this means practice, practice and more practice!!!!! there's still so much that i dont know and i hate this feeling. argh. today had another session of mango tree cutting. and this big huge branch fell into the drain. the yati had to go down to the drain to saw off the branches. you know, or if you didnt know, the drain's damn disgusting. it's like so slimy and when you step on the ground, there'd be something like a 'squish' and water will come out from beneath your feet. so thanks yat! your're the best! then jul, the innovative one, took out some ropes and a pulley to haul the huge log out of the drain and into our garden, which was 3-4 metres above drain. not bad eh. it succeeded. oh yes. have you ever tried eating frozen orange? last night i left a mandarin orange in the freezer so that by the time i finish dinner, it'll be cold. but i forgot to eat it and left it in there till this afternoon. it wasnt much of a bad idea though. it was fantastic. tasted something like sorbet. it had all the qualities of sorbet, except the sour part. add a splash of lemon juice into it and it'll be perfect! the only bad part about it was the peeling. you see, the skin was frozen too, so it only came off in broken little bits, not like a whole piece of skin. by the time all the skin were peeled off, my fingers were numb stiff. poor little things! but the end product was fabulous! nicer than icekachang! that is if you like it mandarin orange flavoured. heh. i urgently, desperately and seriously need a hair cut. arggh. but i dunno how it should be cut. any suggestions? tag me if you have one. but who ever reads all these nonsense? crap. maybe i should cut the toilet brush hairstyle like grace ho. so funky. on second thought, i think i should cut after my results come out, or i guess they wont really welcome me into the school. xinmin's very strict about hair. we havent collected our results yet, so we're still their students. talking about results, it'll be out next week. this is bad, real bad. sigh. i'm so nervous, like who isnt? sigh. alright. i'm ending here. bye!

hee. today's quite a nice day. went with sherilyn to ikea to buy some of her stuff. first we went to eat at the cafe. had the salmon thing and meatballs. then quite funny. we quickly browsed through the second floor and spent a long time downtairs. then we realised that we were walking in circles. keep on going to the same place. after shopping, we proceeded to her house. slacked around. had a look at her room and also looked at the photos that she took for her exhibition. quite skill! then went downstairs to play piano. i taught her how to play yujian properly. quite fun. then went upstairs to her room. she let me try the coffee and liquor drink. it was superb! yay! then she taught me how to pluck guitar properly. learnt some things. but now i sort of forgot how to play chords like G/B etc. arghh! should ask her to teach me again until i master it. she also taught me how to play the melodies on guitar, but i figured i should master on thing at a time. hee. quite exciting! after that, watched her play warcraft. actually i still dont know how to play cos i never got a chance to play such things. and everything's like so confusing. but on the whole it was quite fun watching her play. using the cheat codes and all. yup. this is today. alright. it's late and i'm tired. good night! tomorrow i've got to carry on chopping the mango tree. my arm's aching! which means that muscles are forming! haha.

whew! i'm super tired. just chopped part of the mango tree down. it's not as easy as you think it is. you've got to risk your life climbing the tree and slowly saw the branches off. however, before everything is started, careful planning is required. it's important to plan order of the branches that are going to be chopped down so that there'd still be enough branches to climb or stand on for support. for example, if you chop off the the low branches, there'd be none left to climb on to chop the top branches. now that's poor planning. yup. and so when the branches fall to the ground, you've got to use a parang to chop them up in smaller pieces, preferably equal in length for neatness and more importantly, easy disposal. this whole process is quite a good workout, as i exercises both your mind, and your body. first you need your quadricep femoris, or something like your front thigh muscles, and your calf muscles to support yourself when on the tree. abdominal muscles are also used for balance. then you must use your biceps and triceps, front and back arm muscles respectively, to chop and saw the branches. when the branches fall to the ground, we need our back muscles to bend down and chop it into many pieces. hee. thanks to mr singh during track that i know the names of the muscles cos he emphasizes a lot about it. he always says that as an athlete, we've to know the muscles that we use blah blah etc. haha. i'm very proud of myself. at least i learnt a new skill today, that is the art of tree chopping. this cant be learnt in any school, even in elite schools. yayy! oh and i made jelly today too. it's a skill that i mastered long time ago. i'm just putting it into practice. yay! tmr going to ikea with sherilyn so exciting. i love ikea stuff. hhee. colourful and nice. okays. i'm going to bring my dear doggie for a walk now. bye! today i shall you windy days and fair skies!

what a tiring day. got asked to do so much work and this and that. bleah. uncle raymond came at around 3. the rest of them came a little later, then came the wives. played cards. to be precise, blackjack or ban luck, the usual chinese new year card game. sometimes i really wonder how people can get so much thrill just out of mere deck of poker cards. if they weren't invented, people wont gamble, get into heavy debts, and in the worst circumstance, lose their lives. i dont think it's worth losing that particular amount of money just to get excited or thrilled. there're definitely more ways than just gambling itself. now how on earth did i change topic so quickly? so back to my story about today. i was rather pissed with this auntie 'dunno who'. which is the reason why i didnt bother to find out her name. heck. i just came back from my jog and went down to help mum with the food etc. when she saw me, she said to my mum
'wah! your daughter so tall. primary school or secondary school?'
mum: ' just finished sec school'
auntie dunno who [turning red in her face due to embarrassment]: oh, ok
i was so damn pissed with her lor. then i thought to myself, if i'm in primary school, and since you're way shorter and smaller than me, you must be kindergaten! for goodness sake use your brain can or not? wl. do i look like i'm in primary school? if so, do let me know. this must be a nig joke. har. har.
on the whole the night was an enjoyable one. but the drinking part wasnt too good. at least i managed to watch the last episode of my lucky charm. missed last few days' episode due to house visits. bleah. the ending was quite a disappointment actually. lixiang didnt end up with jk. and it was quite a predictable one. especially the one about lixiang and the guy with a mole on his foot. where got such a coincidence. i realised that mediacorp chinese drama serials also have good endings. perhaps they should try to create more suspense and leave the story hanging when it ends. suspense normally gives shows good viewer-counts. obviously right. duh. i feel that this is what channel 8 shows lack. in retrospect, i think the show was enjoyable and entertaining, and the setting is what singaporeans are familiar with, something that's close to the heart. the artistes were chosen appropriately for their respective roles, but the story line is so-so only. yup. looks like i've just written a tv commentary. whhatever for.
alright. gonna sleep now. got new blanket and pillow case. and they're matching! good night! wish you fair skies and sunny weather!

do i look as if i dont know how to speak mandarin? i dont see a reason why whenever people, be it in school, outside or relatives, tend to speak madarin to me. do i have a sign on my forehead saying 'speak only english to me'? it's either madarin or malay. and do i look like a malay? bleahh. and it feels so weird like in school, some people will talk to one another in mandarin, and when they speak to me, they'll immediately switch to english. hey! i passed my chinese levels!! argh. fortunately quite a number of people in my class last year speak english more than chinese, so at least it's alright. heh.
i feel damn fat today. still at my grandmother's house. have been here since about 2 plus, so it has been about 6-7 hours already. argh. i'm so bored. so bored until kim and i had to entertain ourselves my eating gummy bears. haha. they were rather fun to play with. we stretched their bodies, their necks and their heads, and bit them off. call that animal abuse. oh! and we finished alll the green and yellow gummy bears in the container. and that's like half the initial amount of gummy bears. better go jog 4.2km already. like last year's road run distance. but i doubt i still have the stamina as last year. heh. i emerged top 10 in the b girls' division. to be precise, 7th. heh. not bad eh. besides the gummy bears, we also gobbled down countless chocolate coins, and i had 4 popiahs, some rabbit sweets, a couple of pistachio nuts and a variety of other nuts, one handful of the black seed-like thing, 3 siewmais, and last but not least, roast duck. see the consequences of being bored. i wont be bored to death, but rather, bored to starvation. argh. i hope tomorrow morning i'd be enthu enough to pull myself out of my bed to go for a much needed long jog. if i carrry on at this rate, i could easily gain 5kg. this is so not good. and i think mr singh wouldnt be too happy with it. luckily i'm not in school anymore. if not he'd surely make me do more exercise!!! ahh!!! alright, i shall end here. shall get out of the room to look for more things to eat. bye!

my deepest sympathy and condolences to both of you, especially you, who made a difference in my life. this entry is written in remembrance of their late daughter, who passed away in the womb due to some complications. if you ever read this entry, i encourage you to get on with life, and forget about this incident. believe that your beloved baby's in heaven, safe in the arms of God. i know that it's difficult, but God says that whatever he does, He does it with a purpose. 'And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.' Romans 8:28. it's not too late to try for another one cos both of you are still young, and i believe that God'll work in your life and bless both of you greatly. press on ya. God's in control of everything. take care.

bleah. i'm so sleepy. last night slept at 2pm and woke up at 7am. went shopping in the afternoon. actually went to art friend at bras basah complex to buy the varnish for my shoe. but they dont sell it, or rather, the varnish that i want doesnt exist. so i guess my shoe has to go without the matt gloss cos i've tested it out with water and fortunately the paint doesnt come off. it's ready to be worn. didnt really have the mood to shop today cos kept thinking about something. sigh. so only went to tangs to buy some household stuff, went john little for like half an hour, went hello shop to get prepaid card, and finally went home. here i am! having a headache and sore throat. maybe i think so much. bleah. today my neighbour had an instant garden. the thought of it was quite funny, cos gardens normally had to take time to grow. it's just like the instant noodle concept. just go to the nursery, choose some plants, bring them home, get gardeners to plant the grass and pop! there you have a brand new garden! i feel there something about instant things that singaporeans like. just like i do. maybe mainly due to the fact that we're quite a bunch of impatient people. perhaps one day there'd be instant babies. haha. who knows.

yay! i finally finished reading the danielle steel book after two days. i dont really like the ending though. wasnt nice enough. i shant write what the book is about cos i have always hated doing book reviews. in fact, i've never really done a proper one in my life. haha. i made up stories for book reviews in primary school, and and anyhow gave them authers. haha. it was how i survived. yup. i'll start on my next book tomorrow. maybe i'll read the nora roberts one. or maybe the last dance. was just watching this really spoil show on channel 8, starring steven chow. i dont rreally understand the show. something like about gambling and magical powers and suddenly they go back on time. then they also played the shanghaitan song. i suppose it's supposed to be quite hilarious. today had cg. was generally alright, but i felt different about it. the difference was good. yups. this morning woke up very early to go to the talk at moe about teaching. i would on the whole it was boring. the only thing that spiced the whole talk up was the head of arts from nafa. cant remember his name. it's tan something something. mum and i laughed whenever he spoke cos number one, he tried to use cheem words all at the wrong time, and number two, his hand kept shaking whenever he spoke. at the last part of the talk, there was a question and answer session. we were supposed to post questions to him or the two other people at the panel either verbally through the microphine, or by writing it down on paper. the funny part was when he said 'okay, i've got a question'. for a moment we were like stunned cos the audience were supposed to ask the questions and he was supposed to answer. actually what he meant was that he was asked a question. bleah.. he's obviously chinese educated and cant really speak english well. maybe he graduated from ntu. i heard that it's a very cheena school, but not sure how true this is. heh. oh and yes, chinese new year is coming. it isnt really surprising that i'm not really looking forward to this holiday cos i'm having holiday now anyway.
things i'm looking forward to this chinese new year:
-new clothes, and shoes
-money
-food
-reunion dinner
-cell home visit
things i'm not looking forward to:
-new year songs
-new year decorations
-relatives asking where i'm studying and how old am i
-crowded chinatown
now i'm deciding if should accept the offer to go to temasek poly, or apply for the teaching as a career thingy. the teaching thing sounds really appealing cos during my course of study[if i'm accepted], all the tuition fees would be paid for by moe, or indirectly, tax payers. also, there'd be a monthly allowance of $800. it's a really good offer, but we've got to serve a five year bond in a secondary school after we finish nafa and nie. and the starting pay is $1500 to $1600. nto bad eh. the problem for me now is whether teaching is what i want to do, or would i prefer working in the industry. although this teaching thing has industrial attachments, i'm still doubtful about it. there's really nothing to loose if i join this programme cos i like the thought of going back to xinmin to teach. xinmin is the best school. better than rgs. kim you read this? sometimes i wonder if i'm even up to the standard cos i feel that i'm not up to it. in other words, not good enough. let's not talk about this anymore la. first of all, i havent even been selected to join the programme and most importantly, i havent even gotten my o level results yet. the assuring thing is that if i didnt manage to get into this moe thing, at least i still got temasek poly to fall back on. one thing's definite, i'm never going to a jc. unless..
oh yes.. i suddenly remember that i've to buy matt gloss to spray on my shoes. mel said that she'll share it with me cos it's rather costly. i had better get it down quickly, in time for chinese new year. quite exciting. if anyone's interested in this, i'll gladly do it for you, but at a cost. it's negotiable. feel free to contact me. but please provide your own shoes cos dont expect me to know what shoe size fits your foot, and what kind of shoe you like.
alright, it's time to go. bye!
things i'm looking forward to this chinese new year:
-new clothes, and shoes
-money
-food
-reunion dinner
-cell home visit
things i'm not looking forward to:
-new year songs
-new year decorations

haha. feeling quite high today, for no absolute reason. oh and i think my maid's very amusing. her actions and facial expressions are soo comical that it always leaves me laughing so hard till my stomach hurts. hee. no wonder i have no problems doing sit ups and crunches. this is a good way to tone your abdominal muscles too. then she'll go on to say that i'm mad and all that stuff, and i'll laugh even harder cos it's just so funny. hahaha. i wonder how i'm going to spend my afternoons when she goes back home. and it'll come pretty soon. not sure exactly when, but soon. no other foreign domestic helpers can ever be like her. haha.
today i realised i cant stand dustiness in small places. in case you dont know what i mean, i shall explain. you see, as i was peering into the usb hole in my comp, to my horror, that it was super dusty. so without hesitation i took a cotton bud to try cleaning it, only to find out that it was too big. so i used it to clean the memory card hole instead. hehs. just finished watching my lucky charm followed by american idol. the 9pm channel 8 chinese drama serial really very drama mama. but i think that huangbirenand jeanette aw acted well, just that huangbiren seems too young to play her mum. in contrast, 'lisabell' acted poorly. she cant really act sad feelings, and cant cry. she's quite stiff. oh and chenhanwei, if that's his name, did well as a sissy. haha. he's even more girly than i am. haha. as if i'm a single bit girly. haha. today's american idol wasnt very nice, in the sense that it wasnt very entertaining. i forgot to watch yesterday's one. bleah.. talking about shows, i think desperate housewives is quite a nice show to watch. quite funny, interesting and i especially like how they portray the character's personality and character. however i dont really encourage watching it. which is why it is showed at 11pm on monday. oh yes, i didnt jog today. i decided to sacrifice my jogging time just so that i can carry on reading my danielle steele book. it's called the cottage. i'm not quite sure if it's realistic, but definitely not in the singaporean context. it's a nice book though. a lot about friendship, relationships, tolerance and love. despite the fact that i didnt jog, i managed to do 3 standard push ups, before being distracted by dinner. haha. food! yes! food! i only liked the tampei, charsiew and soup. like i've said before, i dont like veggies! just added the song masquerade from the phantom of the opera. i dont really think the songs fits this blog. but who cares? hahh. okay. i'm off. bye!

this morning when i cooked eight pancakes for myself to eat, i realised that i was quite good at cooking them. in the sense that they were all nice and round, the perfect colour [golden brown], and they didnt stick on the pan despite the little amount of magerine i put. after experimenting for the past few weeks, i realised that if you add milk to the pancake mix, it'll tend to stick to the pan. so it's better to use water. the batter shouldnt be so think cos the pancake would end up being thick and not nice to eat. the reason is that the batter wouldnt spread around the pan. also, the batter shouldnt be too watery of not it'll not only stick on the pan, it'll taste horrible as well. in conclusion, the batter should be just right. to ensure that the batter is just right, see that it's flow-y, but not watery. the heat shouldnt be too high, or it'll burn quickly. it shouldnt be too low either, or it'll take forever to cook. the heat should be in between, but a little towards the low side. go try it! if it fails, dont blame me cos i'm not a professional chef. they're all done through experiments!!!!

yay! third entry for the day. yup. i'm quite happy with the pic. haha. just finished jogging and doing 80 crunches and had dinner. it's quite nice to jog in the park in the late evening, although you breathe in a lot more carbon dioxide. plants respire. but it's cooling and there's not many people. i just got to beware of the indian workers lurking around. haha. alright. gonna bathe now, and then watch my lucky charm. the show's getting quite exciting. i'm a true blue 9pm chinese drama serial addict. bye!

yay! i finally finished painting my shoe. as you can see on the pic on the right. nice right? if you see me around during new year, you might catch me wearing that pair of shoes. the designs on both shoes are different, by the way.. haha. this is the one and only pair in the world, so it's priceless. if you want me to paint on your shoe, i'll gladly do it, but at a price of $25, and you must supply your own shoe. hha. oh yes! i got accepted into temasek poly's visual communication course.. but i'm not sure if that's the right course for me. futhermore, the place is super far. got to take two buses. bleah. i hate travelling, except the long car rides in malaysia. and when register, must pay $7. this is not a problem actually. haha. at least it's cheaper than rgs' one. heh. alright, i'm going for a jog. and i'm getting mosquito bites all over. smack! bye!

spent another day making the stupid prawn rolls. super tired. and do until yao suan bei tong. sat and rolled and rolled and rolled for four hours. but in the end it was all worth it. they tasted great. i think i said this yesterday. haha. so what happened yesterday happened today. i changed blogskin. was sick of the old one. since chinese new year is coming, my blog should have a new skin too. but i dont like the pic. it's avalon, by the way. going to change it, but cant really find a suitable picture. no hurry. also still waiting for iwebmusic to send me the confirmation email so that songs can be played. i'm going to upload masquerade from the phantom of the opera. i like that song. so lively and energetic. yups. doing all these leaves me with no time to paint my shoe. shucks. i better do it tmr, but havent decided on the colour scheme. also havent decided on the design for the right side of the left shoe. maybe i should leave it as free expression, meaning i'll do whatever that comes to my mind when it's time to paint that part. i'll start with the right shoes first. hee. if you think any colour scheme is nice, please tag. thanks. bye!

whoa! yati and i spent three whole hours making prawn rolls. fortunately it turned out great. it was crispy and was spicy enough. if you ever come over to my house for new year, and if happen to pop one of those into your mouth, you better think of all the hardwork put in. and not to forget, appreciate them as well. hehs. it was really no joke pounding the dry prawns, blending the dried chilli, chopping the shalots and garlic, and wrapping each one individually. now i know why the market price for it is so ex. yup. i'm now halfway designing my shoe. it's gonna be nice. but the problem now is the colour scheme. have been thinking about it, and have not come up with a conclusion. should i use the yellow-orange-red colour scheme? or the cool colours colour scheme, blue-green-purple etc. maybe black, white and gray, with splashes of yellow and orange would be nice. yupp. alright, going to look for inspration now. bye!

today's monday. so as usual, i had piano lessons. learnt quite a lot today, and quite fun too. heh. oh, do you think buying a pair of white shoes and then painting them is a good idea? i think it's quite cool. cos it's original. the only pair in the world. i'll used my acrylic paint. joanna said that they wont peel off and they're waterproof. so i think they'll do the job just fine. hopefully. hee. so exciting. yayy! if i finish painting them this week, i can wear them during new year. hah. i feel excitement building up. imagine if the excitement level starts at my feet, it's probably now at my neck. going to come out of my mouth very soon. haahha. this way, it's cheaper than buying an adidas or nike or puma shoe. about one fifth the price. furthermore, as i've said earlier, the best thing is that it's orignal. yup. alright, i'll stop here. going for a jog now. currently in the exercise-y mood. haha. must burn all the carbohydrates cos today i ate four bananas. haha. bye!
