Am i supposed to be happy?! i guess at that moment i was... but once i got home and started reviving everything, something quite opposite and negative began what i started to felt.

was talking to jovena on msn yest. and once i got over the high-ness, it left me feeling empty and suppressing the urge to cry. reality hit me, all was but a dream... a dream that i should not have in the first place. I am thankful for those with good intentions... thank you for making that effort :)

so what if the photo was taken, it doesnt mean anything... there are a thouasnd and one SO WHAT going through my mind now... 一切的事情排山倒海的涌上了我的脑海里，一切的不可思议，一切的不真实。

if it was meant to be like that in the beginning, why didnt i leave it as it is?! why did i bother trying to put the past behind,moving forward and hoping that everything would turn out different the 2nd time round?! it didnt turn out better, i ended up hurting myself twice as much.

i thought "forget it mans" after what happened in march. yeah, i treated you the way you treated me. pretend that we are strangers and 擦身而过.

i was crying super hard when i was typing the previous entry. it got worst when i was talking to fil... she was right. i shouldnt be sad because everything is gone but because i didnt try hard enough. cruel as it seems but prehaps this is indeed the truth!?

will things simply change jus because of a *****?！no way, not in a million years. this is what i have thought through from thinking things through... i was too naive and dumb. i guess i jus created a topic for the ** to gossip abt and laugh at ba :(

perhaps all that is left now are endless regret at my stupidity. perhaps this was the way things were meant to be... 我们都只不过是生命中的过客，没什么特别的意义.

someone told me that all things happen for a reason. so what is the reason for YOU appearing in my life?! for me to cry buckets like i did?! countless of times. there are a lot of unanswered ques and i tink there is no way i can get it from anyone else but YOU. but once again how?! perhaps 4th dec would be the last time and place that we would ever meet.

PROM IS OVER!



i supposed that if i was blogging this entry yest, it would be on a happy note. for now, i am only left with an emptiness in me and lot of tears.



anyways, i went over to joyce's hosue yest in the morn cause she had to teach me how to put on make up! hahas... i saw her cutie dog! its really super small, tiny in size! but it is quite smelly tho! hahas... i tink eye liner was the most difficult part... having to follow the shape of the eye and xurling eyelashes! oh my god! my eye lashes jus refused to curl! even after pinch them hard and long with the curler! :x okays, whatever! was experimenting with everything joyce had and i erms acidentally broke one of her mum's face lotion bottles... i admit i'm clumsy! and ms JOYCE NG! i didnt steal your foundation and eye pencil! you lend me WILLINGLY! :D hahas... yeah, that was what i borrowed from her plus pixie glitter!



went home in time cause tiying came over to my house to dress up! wows... tiying managed to put in her contacts in jus 10 mins wors! but then again, she didnt put in her contacts! she THREW it in which was why she got a big shock when the contacts act went in! hahas... but she kept blinking and shifting her eyes... i guess it takes a while to get used to contacts :) i was once a first timer too :D jovena and serene came over to my house and we were experimenting with the make up...at abt 2, we went to my house downstairs the salon to do hair and serene rebonded her hair :)

whoo hoo! i love my hairstyle this year! at first we were looking through the magazine for the differnet hairstyles available but it turned out that my hair was either too short or the designs were too ugly! hahas.. so in the end, i told the aunty to run wild with her ideas... jus leave my fringe down! beautiful!! but she sprayed super lots of things onto my hair which made it super super hard! hahas...

while serene continued with her rebonding, the 3 of us went back to my house to dress up and get ready! i love dressing up! its so fun!! experimenting with make up an all! baoqi called at about 5 to ask if she could put her things in my house first since she was doing her make up in hougang too... but bao got lost in hougang! she took the wrong bus and ended up at the interchange instead! haha.. she managed to find my bus stop in the end too and me, bao and tiying cabbed down to marriot...

jean and valerie's taxi was in front of us! haha.. i got a lot of pple telling me that i look like a bridesmaid with my long gown and all! hmmm... no comments on that! hahas.. took lots and lots of photo! but serene's camera died on me even before dinner began so i had to use my phone which was of some poor resolution! hahas...

dinner was not bad. the entertainment was funny, esp the mc! we were divided into 2 sides and our side was known as "whatever"! ereps! hahahs.. we played games like guessing the advertisments and what country the music that was playing belonged too! and of cos! there was the prom king and queen! both from our side!

our prom queen is none other than syimah!! she was sabo-ed by us! hahas.. she changed her dress le and looked really elegant! her dance segment was hot! bet many guys had nose bleed! hahas.. and prom king is ben with his white hair, white suit and white shoes...

after that, dinner was mostly forgotten cause we were taking photos non stop! hahas.. i promised valerie to pay tribute to her on my blog! hahas.. okays, 2 of us know why enough already! hahas.. VALERIE! HERE IS THE TRIBUTE TO YOU!! :D

we left the ball room at about 10.45 where samuel was waiting for valerie and my parents were coming to fetch.. tiying came home with me.. was supposed to drop her at 136 bus stop but my dad decided to send her home instead casue quite late le!

at home, i used tonnes of shampoo and conditioner for my hair and lots of facial scrub for my face! was dead tired but couldnt sleep cause my hair was wet and i didnt want to use the hai dryer... so i only went to bed at abt 2... bleahx! still had to work today! i wanted to go post prom de!! sigh, i missed a once in a liftime chance and the final official nanyang event :( no choice, have to work!

okays! i am here to blog about class outing!

i have been planning the class outing since A levels cause wulin suddenly msg me one day to ask me to organise class outing! hahas... it was set on 29 Nov. however, with a job on hand, i could plan everything myself so i had to get wulin to gather pple to buy food which in the end was act seperate pple buying thebbq food

this year's class outing is bbq at helen's house! lucky we choose that place cause yest when they started to bbq, it was raining. helen's condo de bbq area got shelter de :)

joyce called me the night before to tell me that she will be meeteing me before going to helen's house together and she double confirmed with me yest to meet at 6. however, the stupid editor held me and sam back for damn long talking abt redundant stuff, i ended up leaving office at 6 plus and i was late in meeting joyce. in the meantime, she saw ying han, yifang and yuyin too.. so there was 4 pple waiting for me and joyce say i dua pai! :D

the first person that i noticed when i arrived at helen's house was yuou! oh my goodness! i cant believe she act turn up for class outing after so many years when she didnt turn up for a single one for the past 4 years! hoho! miracle! anyways, the next thing that i noticed was the mahjong table! heh heh! how could i resist! hahas... played for a while only when i heard someone say 'ba gua[scandal]' table over here! so of cos i hoped over there! hahas... who can resist mans! there were me, joyce,bao xian, tricia,mann, yining, yuyin,sing ying,ying han and lubin crowding around the table and exchanging scandals! whoo hoo! st nicks got a lot of scandals flying ard! hahas... i love that feeling of sitting together and catching up on each other's life... laughing and talking freely...

bao xian arhs! tarnish my reputation! i was at the mahjong table and the girls were at the other table talking abt finding jobs after A levels. den they know i got a job at sph. when suddenly all was quiet, bao xian suddenly exclaimed "joanne 有了啊?" den everyone turn and look at me! hello! i am pure and innocent k!! what bao xian meant was that i have a job le! haiyo, wrong timing lahs ! she ahd to wait until atmosphere quiet le den exclaim so loudly! hahas... bao! 被你害死了!

we took lots of photos, esp yuyin's camera which has 100 over photos! nice nice pics! i ep love the class photo! upload later! the bbq ended at about 9.30 when i had to settle the money matters... i was going ard collecting money when the yuou still happily playing mahjong still say

我湖了！自摸! wah piang! i could have strangled her on the spot cans!! okays i admit i feel like killing her everytime! hahas... we spotted a frog under the bbq pit beside us! quite scary! den we dropped the mahjong tiles on the floor while packing up and the frog leaped towards us! we were screaming the hell out mans!! stupid frog!

i reached home at about 11 plus and went on a msn and tag board marathon with tiying and valerie!

today was crap! went with sam to inerview this vegetarian resturant. vegetarian turkey! bleahx! it tastes damn awful cans! the photographer give excuse say what he eat lunch le very full den throw his share to us! so in the end, me and sam had an early x'mas dinner at hong lim park aka speakers corner!! and the pple passing by were staring at us! whatever!! :D and i am more than ever sure that mkp is an old hag!!

4diligence is LOVE!!

busy busy week!

sat we sorta celebrated ming's birthday! ming and jovena went gym in the morning but i didnt go cause my small thighs were hurting like shit after a cramp and muscle ache! met them in the afternoon for lunch, den it was back to jovena's house to play monopoly! but before that, we rented a movie,called "Because I said so"... quite funny but i watch until fall asleep! i needed my afternoon nap k? hahas... it was monopoly after that! i am the ultimate winner!cause i bought mayfair and park lane and i built houses! tho ming and jovena gang up to buy the whole stretch of street, i didnt end on them! but jovena did land on mayfair and she had to pay me $1400 in rent! hohohoho! if only it was real money! :D

was it monday or tues that i went shopping with sirta?　went shopping with her for her prom dress and shoes. bt we ended up buying nothing because everything that we saw were out of sirta's budget. it doesnt help that all the dress i take for her to see was 89.90 and above! ahahahas... but i got a PLEASANT SURPRISE! :D

wed start work as an intern at sph. but me and sam were posted to some health promotion thing... it is the chinese vesion of 'mind your body'... like what? but we spend like 2 days rotting quite a lot in front of the comp! 50 bucks a day which makes it abt 6plus per hour so i guess the pay is qute reasonable. jus that the job is not a permanent one, its like when they need us den they will call us down de. oh well, jus earn some money for dec ba!

jus had class outing today. details for a later entry cause valerie say i very slow! hahas... i reached home at about eleven and while waiting for my hair to dry, i went online and me, tiying and valerie started a conversation that lasted until now! hahas... super funny! and tiying finnally bought heels! tmr mus go buy 4D le!! apparently, both of them dun dare to sleep cause they came into contact with something supernatural on 88! hahas... i'm leaving them to tell me abt it in the day time if nt i will freak also! hahas...

joanne LOVES cold mrt seats and not the hot hot ones when someone jus stood up! :D

hoho! my A levels finished on the 15 of nov but only here am i blogging! :D the first few days after As was heaven but after a while, i tend to feel that life is quite aimless and that i wanna get a job fast because i'm spending faster than i can earn!

on the day we finished intrnational paper, it was dinner at chomp chomp with dory,yanyi,jo, syimah, flizah,sihui ,serene, jun hao, baoqi, jean, mr mao and mr seq! woo hoo!! nice nice food! hahas... dory and sihui left early but after dinner, serene, me, bao,jean,jun hao and mr mao headed towards an ice cream shop for dessert! :D full and satisfied! hahas... but i mus not forget to mention about tiying! hahas... she told me that she will msg me again as to whether she wants to join us at chomp2 not cause she wants to watch her show... but when she decided to join us at about 6 plus and called our phones, nooby answered her call! ahahahs... den she ended up with no dinner :p i'm sorry sirta! next time den go chomp chomp with you again k?! :) hahas... she was whining like crazy on the phone...

16 nov was shopping with serene at vivo! yeah! we had hong kong style breakfast first den we went shopping around the big big shopping mall! and of cos how can we miss out toy r us?! where i tong and tong the toys! :) quite tiring cause my stamina for shopping has dropped drastically due to the fact that i was studying like nobody's business for the past goodness knows how many months! :S

monday went for job interview at mount E's eye clinic but i dun tink the interview is very optimistic! never mind! it gives me more time to play! :D after that went to my cousin's house to take my mum's vitamins from her... haven saw her for a long time le!

tues was shopping with sam and jovena.... saw damn a lot of pple in orchard and tricia came to scare me while i was browsing through the clothes! haha... i bought a pair of retro flats! its super nice mans! i cant wait to wear it! but mus find the suitable clothes to go with it :)

today my class pple finally finished their A levels! was supposed to go airport de but instead we ended up at orchard! i'm super scared of orcahrd now cause i was in orchard for the past 3 days! i met them in the afternoon cause i was helping my aunt in the morn... anyways, we were walking ard looking for gowns... syimah was trying this gown when the person told her to take another size if not "the dress will tear!" thats like so super mean of the sales person and syimah was what the hell!! ahahahahs! we got 10 macs voucher from doing a survey for a girl... haha... so we gorge ourselves on fries and ice cream! :D

many more activites coming up but i guess i need to find money first!! anybody got lobang?!! oh! i'm cooking agin nowdays cause my family keep complaining abt how they have to eat outside food for so many mnths because i was having exmas!! hahahas... so i resume cooking!! and i'm gonna dye my hair!! yesh!! :) life after As is heaven tho quite aimless!!

one week gone and 6 papers down... study until i almost died.. esp yest when i had two papers, mainly history and maths... i had an aftrnoon paper the day before and i reached home at about 7 so had to stay up to study.. sigh..

2/3 of the papes over and done with but it pretty much already decided my fate... who am i to tink that i can go onto stage and shake mr kwek's hand next year？who the f**k am i to think that i can get a nice report card?! i seriously have no idea what went wrong... supposed to study de i all study already... but i jus cant walk out of all the exam hall in confidence... even chinese pape 2 which i had felt confident abt, when i walked out of the exam hall and compared answers, i drop right back down to earth again...

my cousin once said that nanyang has a 90% rate of people going to uni which makes it 9 in every 10 students and i can predict i will be tht one person... i know there are many people out there who are waiting to see me stumble and fall, relatives inclusive... well, i guess i have shown it to them.. i HAVE stumbled and i believe that next year in march will be the time when i FALL... tze yin once sent me an sms after prelims "with us here to support you always, you'll never fall down hard" i really appreciate that sms but A levels is already the final step... perhaps when we all embark on different journeys in life, it is really difficult not for me to fall down hard... hard and painful...

singapore is cruel.. paper qualifications are everything.. i'm sorry but i'm not brave like the people that mr tong once mention... people who are not afraid to stray off the path and take an altrnate route... i guess i am one of those who are jumping from one box to another... from pri to sec to jc and the final destination which would be uni... i used to tink that a beauiful A level cert would be the ticket to the life that i have planned way beforehand already..

my Southeast Asia paper is a certain goner already... the A had flown away for chinese and maths... the only 2 subjects where i can get an A.. gp?! i really dunno...

heh heh.. its has been a long time since i am online... jus here to post a little note that i wouldnt be blogging until after As which is 24 days from now!! :D till then, study hard everyone!! my anxiety level is increasing everyday!! :X

hoho! i finally found the incentive to blog! last day as an nyjcian, pretty sad act that my jc life has officially came to an end... but i am very thankful that i crossed paths with many many wonderful people in the short span of 2 years...

i was talking to serene on the phone yest night cause she was sick of studying and we were recounting our jc memories from the very first day to the last which is today.. serene was telling me how she wished that time would come to a stand still and that today will never come cause she simply doesnt want to graduate... not so much in the academic term but more of the memories term... i share her sentiments... 2 years is simply too short with these wonderful people and it saddens to think that as we part to embark on different life journeys, we will bound to drift apart because of distance and time... despite this, i am still hopeful that we will try our utmost best to keep our promises that we would remain the same gang of crazy people as we are now even 20 years down the road!

today morn only 5 people went for morn assembly because we didnt have lessons until grad ceremony... after assembly, me, serene and zhi xin went out to buy sparkling juice to celebrate as a class after the grad ceremony... we had to squeeze with all the aunty who were grocery shopping and we managed to find a good buy at ntuc instead... it was 4.75 for 2 bottles so that was what we bought... bought macs breakfast and went back to school waiting for consultation. in the midst of waiting for the consultation, me, dory and serene went around the school camwhoring! okays, i admit we did a lot of ridiculous things like posing beside the fountain and the rock!

skip the consultation part... our class was sitting behind the teachers in the hall for the grad ceremony... mr kwek and ng how wee's talk was still ok but the guest of honour's talk was total crap mans... its like gp, econs and hist lecture all rolled into one! but ng how wee's talk was quite touching i guess and i was on the verge of tearing le about how our unassuming nature is our greatest gifts and when he asked us to reflect on our jc life... i really did... i realise that jc life is indeed a difficult path to tread but but it is made easier and more beautiful with the friends that we have...

the highlight of the grad ceremony was the video that the teachers had made for us! yay! its so nice cans!! i wanna get a copy of it!! mr mao and mr seq was super funny! their msg to us was in the form of the x'mas song "12 days of x'mas!" hahas... super cute and the chinese teachers one was really funny too..

after the grad ceremony, we had ''light refreshments'... but o6o2 was popping sparkling juice as well!! mr mao popped the first one and when he could pop the second one, shara took over and we took a long long time open that bottle of sparkling juice!! we did a yum sheng and no one cue us on when to sheng so we were yum-ing all the way until syimah say ok ok!! hahas!! breathless sia?! hahas... o2! i hope you guys like the little sparkling juice treat that we have prepared for you! celebrating 2 years of success as a class!! i really really love you girls!!

after that it was taking photos all the way until 3 plus when we 'retired' to the library to study... me, dory, flizah and syimah cause the geog people have lessons... i wanna upload the photos but i have to wait till everyone sends me the photos!

btw, i got everyone to sign on the sparkling juice bottle so now i have 2 bottles to remind me of the wonderful classes that i have been in! 0602 and 4dee!!

joanne LOVES popping sparkling juice!!

got back all my results already.. pathetic and disgusting... am satisfied with chinese, history and maths.. tho econs and gp was a real shocker... but i guess i cant take this shock, i gave in to tears today when i got back econs paper...

it was a big big disappointment... i go for consultations, do all my tutorials, memorise all the fucking lecture notes and it is this piece of crap that i got... 跌得很重，很痛。做梦也没有想过结果会是如此。但是我很感谢一直对我不理不弃的朋友。今天哭得稀里哗啦的时候，似乎全班的女孩子都围绕着我，借我肩膀，纸巾。我很感谢上帝把她们带到我的生命里，相信以后当我们各奔东西的时候，一定会很想念她们。DORY,SERENE,TIYING,VALERIE,AH KHAR,SYIMAH,JO,FLIZAH,JEAN,SIHUI,BAOQI.... thanks for always being beside me... cheering me up and giving me hell loads of good times :)
RUOYI,SAMQ,MING and others who comforted me in one way or another, thanks a million!

looking on the brighter side of the picture.. my maths jumped from a C to a B, though i could have gotten A without the careless mistakes :) at least now i know what i can acheive for maths in the A levels...

history didnt drop, i imporoved by one mark :) source base for international was a surprise cause i never expected to gt 16/25 when i have always only gotten 10 or 11 :)

chinese was a shocker! i got 27 for my zuo wen and my eyes were popping out since i jus expected a pass and was glad that i didnt repeat the same mistake for mid years... overall i improved for both paper 1 and paper 2 :) which is a B! second B in my whole jc life since promos... the teachers took us aside and told us that we had a high chance of getting an A for a levels and that we shouldn let our guaard down now... yupps yupps, its the last hurdle and since i didnt get a chance to shake my quek's hand during mid years and the chance wouldn be coming anytime soon after the disasterous prelims, i will seize my chance during the A levels results release next year!! i want to pocket 5As!! go go go!!

for now, its mugging until 1 am every night!! anyone who wants to be my study ka kee, msg me! so that it doesnt get too lonely in the middle of the night :)

hmph! sirta said that i was 冷漠, but i truly believe that my actions are justified! 一句安慰也没有，王八蛋！

prelims over!! yesh yesh!! wows, i ao how long den manage to wait for this day!! finally!



i am dead beat from all the writing! hist is no better... all the ques that we spot didnt come out... like what mao says 'exepct the unexpected'! goodness!! but anyways, its over!! after hist, went out for dinner with the hist girls-- flizah, jo, dory,syimah, sihui and me!! we went to sakura at far east.. wows, lucky we reach early and den book seats.. even then, we had to wait until 7.30 before we got a table... the quene was really long! we still had one hour plus before we had a table so we walked ard far east! and we got trapped at a earring store! oh my goodness! the earrings there were super uber nice!! i bought 5 pairs!!

far east escalators have mirrors above them... the first time syimah notcied the mirror, she was super excited and say 'lets take photo!!' but the prob was "syimah... where is the camera?!" ahahahahs... far east has 2 escaltors at different ends of the building and when we finally got the camera ready and wanted to take photo, we looked up only to find that this side of the building's escalators do not have mirrors so we went all the way to the other end... everyone was looking at us like we were mad! but it was fun tho! and very 'exciting' cause when we divert our attention to the mirror, we do not notice that we are coming to the end of the escalator and there were times when we almost trip! :D

finally! it was 7.30! we went back to sakura and found that they have alreay served 2 dishes on the table ! efficient! there was this pathetic looking plate with only rice and red meat on it! we asked the waitress what was it and it turned out to be my honey chicken wing rice! even the soup was super small bowl cans!? and everyone else's dish look so delicious! hahas... but we ended up exchanging all our dishes, feeding each other a mouth from our plate! in the end, flizah's noodle was too sweet and it ended up on my side... BUT somehow or rather our plates found their way to syimah's side at the end of the meal! :D

sihui was scaring everyone with her diff facial expression and jo dared sihui to stand out in the middle of the resturant and shout 'yam' for 30 secs den the rest of us would 'shing'! but sihui didnt dare to do it and the dare ended up on syimah! wows, she super the daring! without hesitation, she stood up and really wanted to starting shouting 'yam' already! but we were quite fickle about it cause it was still quite malu afterall and syiamh ended up standing and sitting a lot of times! hahas.. in the end, we didnt do it also cause dory dared syimah to knock her fork against the metal cup to get everyone's attention first and this time syimah didnt dare! while we were laughing our heads off, jo suddenly turned to sihui and ask "you dun gek gek ars! the dare started with you los!" but our dear ah meng was simply laughing too hard to response!

so we endeed up doing ugly faces! and there was the competition to be the ugliest ard! and for the very first time of her life, syimah's photo was the prettiest wors!! and we found a way to 'uglify' flizah, jus change her fringe parting! the result is really classic! wait till we upload the photos and you guys can judge for yourself!! super funny! filzah laugh until she was practically crying!

sakura was next to some slimming centre and there was this big pic of 2 models posing about how the slimming sessions are effective and stuff... syimah wanted to imitate one of the models but in the end didnt take the pic cause the receptionist was staring at us!! we went to basement looking for ice cream but guess who we saw!?! we saw calet!! goodness! got a shock cans!?

we headed down to borders cause dory and jo wanted to buy pencil box and i wanted to see if can spend the $20 voucher... in the end, we jus ended up flipping through the cook books and drooling at the chocolate desserts! dory bought a cook book for her fren so that her fren can cook for her! :D trust her to think of that!!

it was home sweet home after borders! we wanted to take a photo outside orchard mrt and sway swa we asked a bunch of losers to take the photo for us... couldn even take a simple photo and they attempted to get into the photo too...like wth!? in the end, we had to ask another person to take the photo for us! and it was picture perfect!! :D our next date is after As and we have plans for a new year gathering too! i'm looking forward!!

yesh, i'm off to bed! theres ikea trip with sirta tmr!! :D nights world!!

joanne LOVES o6o2!!

I am sitting in front of the computer screen with panda eyes and a burst bubble jus like the econs case study! what the hell! when i flip open the paper, i got a big bloody shock cans?! America's bubble burst... the only recollection of the bubble burst that i have was from the little bit that nandwani talked about during tutorial...

the first ques was "describe the symptoms of a price bubble and a housing glut?" and the third ques was "evaluate the economic causes of a housing glut."-- and guess what? my answers for both ques are the same! brillant! i am just waiting for nandwani to put a big fat 'what answer is this!!' across my paper!!

i slept at 4 on sun morn only to have serene call me up at 10 plus to tell me that mr mao's wife is pregnant! wows, my brain couldnt take the shock cans!? and i was frigtened by sihui also who whine erriely into the phone "did you miss me!? "-shudders- hahas... anyways, jus the power of the diapers that we gave mr mao for teachers day!

okays, my eyes are like closing while i am typing this! the late nights are beginning to take a toll on me! 3am every night and this is going to continue until i finish prelims on thurs!! i'm off to recharge!!

i am mentally and physically drained! finishing 4 papers in 2 days is no laughing matter, and it doesnt help that all 4 papers are heavy papers.. can collaspe from exhaustion! so much so that when i felt the floor shaking, i thought that i was fainting!! until i felt it for many than once... i asked my brother to sit at my place and at first he was like "you too tired already, go take a nap! " but he felt it too and we sorta suspectd that indonesia had a earthquake and true enough when we turned on the tv, in red bolt words "7.9QUAKE HITS SUMATRA"... hahas... but at least i can afford to take a breather...

chinese paper 2 was the first paper, on a sat no less :X tues was chinese paper 1 with econs essay and yest it was maths and south east asia... the night before, all the hist girls stayed up late to study except for sihui who fell asleep at 11! so early was compared to us! hahas... we were mass msg-ing at 12 plus to ensure that none was us was falling asleep! in the course of our conference, a new phrase came up! we oily together!! means jiayou together! hahas... me and flzah were the first ones to knock off at about 1 while dory,syimah and jo went to bed at 2... it was panda eyes for all of us! but it was fun! we might afford to do it during a levels cause we have a maths paper and sea paper together too! :D

ming came to ny to study for the whole hols! with jovena too... luckily we were caught cause according to jiemin, there was one day when the general office suddenly made an announcement asking all trespassers to leave the school immediately! hahas... but we were mostly stuck in a classroom and i was glad taht no matter what, i will always have a classroom to study in! its all a matter whether i get it when i come to school or have to wait for people to vacate the classroom!

no more paper until next tues! the tempatation to go havoc is quite great! but cannot, there is still a heavy paper which is international paper... but at least i can afford to watch 心花放! yay, i have always loved that show! got my 偶像！

when am i going to recover and defeat the germs!! i have been sick for the past 2 weeks! first it started with a terrible sore throat and it followed with losing my voice... den i barel recovered for 2 days before i was hit by the flu and cough! i was coughing for all the papers and my lungs hurt!! one word: sway!!　thats all for now! i'm off to cook dinner! btw, i cant wait for our outing cum dinner after international paper next week! yay! something to look forward to! :D

joanne LOVES RATOTOUILLE(the show not the dish :D)!

hols have began which mean endless mugging for prelims start right after the hols! in fact, my first paper is on sat! how loser can tht be mans?! and i seriously think the chinese department has no brains, organising a trip to taiwan for the whole chinese department when we desperately need help and cant find anyone during the hols! sucks mans... orh, whatever..


ming crashed nanyang yest! we studied in one of the air con classtrooms until we got chased out by the stupid j1s... brainless gits! den we shifted to the lep classrooms! yay! at least i feel more qing qie gan in the lep classroom! :D


i studied until about 4.30 before going down to meet dory,flizah and jo for our girls night out!! it started on sat when dory and i were studying at one of the round tables when dory started listing all the movies tat she wants to watch! and ratatouille was one of them! we decided to catch the movie on mon after a whole day of studying! but it turned out that dory's mummy wants her home studying during the day before going out for movie and dinner at night! syimah watched the movie with her family le so i asked filzah and jo....and yupps, in the end, it was the four of us :)


flizah left school first cause she said school was depressing! while i was on the bus, she called me to say that the tix are selling out fast so she say she buy tix first... when i reached, flizah told me that she bought front row seats cause it was the only row left that had 4 seats together! we went down to ntuc while waiting for dory and jo... we bought drinks and it was off to meet jo for flizah to bring her to amk hub and off to meet dory to buy popcorn for me! seeing the quene almost made me faint! in the end, it was one person one quene... but dory's quene was the fastest so we managed to get a large mixed popcorn jus on time for the movie! :D

turns out that we got first class seats in front of the screen! got railings to put our legs somemore.. hahas... and flizah changed her mind, she said "see, i got you all first class seats!" the movie is super super nicee! i am going to buy the dvd! and a remy softtoy! but the part where his brother swallow all the grapes, his body was a disgustin shape with all the things poking out of his body! my hair stand! anyways, i like the part when the mice were in the steamer or something! and they all came out fluffy! hahas!! so cutee!!

the movie lasted about 2 hours and aftr that we went to pizza hut for dinner... we ordered a 4 person set meal complete with soup, pepsi, a pan pizza and cheese foundune... wows, it was so super cheesy that the rest of us could only stare at the bowl of cheese left and sigh... hahas.. we were bloated and it doesnt help that we hada large popcorn before... hahas... but its nice jus talking and laughing at each other :) we should have more of these girls night out after A levels! dory was suggesting that after prelims, we ditch our books for 4 days and let ourhair down before going back to our lecture notes for the final battle!

after dinner, me and dory headed home while flizah and jo went to walk around amk hunb cause jo say she is a rare visitor to amk! hahas... :D home sweet home! i love these girls!

*the memories jus flow and flow... i guess its a nice walk down memory lane.... but it saddens me that the memories will stop here as we embark on differnent journeys of life...

perhaps this is what had made me super emo... i had an outburst on mon during tuition.. i'm sorry to those i had hurt(esp to sirtaa, i'm sorry for the hurful words... forgive me for they were written in a moment of lost control when emotions ran high... :X ) and shocked in the outburst... but i guess letting it all out helps a little.. but when i go back to the funddamentals, the probs and lawyer letters still persist... its a downhill portion of my life now... i'm thankful for all the concern and love that have been shown to me esp after mon's outburst... i'm questioning
我存在的价值now... hopefully i would be able to find a meaningful answer soon...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DORY(23Aug) AND RUOYI(26Aug)!

these 2 dearies had their birthday within a span of 3 days so i shall dedicate an entry to them here!

valerie, tiying, ah khar and i pon reading on wed to go out and buy fishes for dory's birthday present. valerie say she rmb a ship shop somewhere outside school and we decided to head there to check out the fish but it turn out that the shop closed le! so we say we shall go serangoon gardens to buy fish... when we were playing on the stairs, suddenly ah khar turned and saw this big window with the words rainbow aqaurim! ahahahas! so we didnt have to go to serangoon gardens! we explored the fishes and we were like little kids in a fish shop all over again! after touring the shop over and over again, we decided on 10 guppies and 8 tetrals! valerie and i had a fun time trying to scoop the fish with the net and valerie being a animal abuser, she knocked 2 poor fishes against the glass! hahas... after that we slacked at macs until reading was over before going back to school for maths mocks... maths mocks was crazy and half way into the paper, we ended up talking and idscussing how to do! cj paper was madnes cans!? almost fainted doing the pure maths part!

when i reached home, i poured the fish into the container and the water was disgustingly yellow! i attempted to change the water by using a plastic spoon to scoop out the fish cause i didnt have a net and it turned out to be a failed attempt! in the end, i gave up!

our fishes were the first present that dory got for the day! yay! she was quite shocked, and she didnt flush the fishes down the toilet bowl despite declaring that she was going to! hahas... in the end, she called me at night... and my first reaction was 'got fish die?!' and dory said no! 'a guppy is giving birth!!' and she went on to describe how the baby fish was sticking out of the mother fish! hahas... she was super excited! she said so! and when she seperated the other fish into her bigger tank, she said her dad was very excited also cause the fishes complemented other fishes in the tank with their bright colours! :)

next is ruoyi's birthday on sun but we gave her her present on sat! it included a pencil box car similar to mr foo de and a file filled with lots of awesome pics! awesome to ruoyi only! hahas... i tink the best were the birthday msg! :)

serene had come over to my house on sat morn to complete the pics and msg... in the end, we were slightly late for tuition... but it turns out that ruoyi and ziyin were even later! sihui crashed our tuition at the end by bringing in a apple strudel with a lighted candle and could see the shocked expression on ruoyi's face! :D

and we had a conference call meaning me, ruoyi, serene, sihui and pros to wish ruoyi happy birthdy at 12 sharp to wish ruoyi happy birthday! and we had to endured sihui's unearthly birthday song! hahas... we talked to about 1.30 when i put down the phone to study my econs... :) its fun!

all in all, HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY DEARIES!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

okays, i'm seriouosly resisting a urge to blog! i have been away from the cyber world for so long that i seriously think that it is time for me to update jus that my interstate tension, market structure and maths notes are calling out to me! okays, i'm gonna blog bit by bit...

no tuition again this week because the whole sot building's generator has melted and the whole building has no electricity and we are stuck with no venues for tuition... after discussing lots and lots venues, we still ended up with no condusive place for tuition so we ended up at the coffee shop to have dinner... me, tiying, valerie, serene and ruoyi... hahas... it was fun! :D esp with valerie's plate of prata by uncle muthu! she wanted prata with mushroom but uncle muthu gave her prata with peanut like bean things which are quite disgusting! the first time valerie went to negotiate with muthu , he said that he will give her prata with mushrooms tmr but valerie continued arguing with him and he gave her $1 compensation! in the end, i swoop with valerie half my plate of xin zhou mi fen and i ate her remaining piece of prata... gosh! i have to agree with her! its really disgusting! hahas... valerie went to quarrel with uncle muthu again and he ended up refunding her the whole $4! ahahaahahs... but! as i was eating the prata, i guess the prata was too hard to cut and i ended up bending the whole spoon! which we ended up hiding it in the plate of curry so that uncle muthu would not suspect anything and ask us to compensate him his spoon!! ahahahahas... it was super funny! den its home to study for the thousand of tests!

went to school super early today to do the ASEAN source base test... cause i didnt have a printer so i ended up writing all the sources! i'm so proud of myself but man bear laugh at me! she ask me to photocopy for her and i told her tat i wrote out all the sources and she say dun want le cause very funny! hmph! dory photocopied mine and she benefitted from it! cause i wrote notes for contextual knowledge! ahahhas...

jo started a craze for grapes in my class this week! it started when jo started passing down grapes durin maths tutorial and we started asking for more so jo gave us this whole bunch... everyone was snatching for the grpaes and left the bare branch on tiying table... tiying threw the brunch across to valerie and valerie threw it back.. the funny thing was when they throw, ms teo suddenl turned back and they were trying to act innocent! ahahahas.... so now my class is hooked onto grapes...


tues serene brought wine grapes to school... those super small de, that you cant ppluck from the branch to eat because it would 'burst' the moment you burst it... den dory and i decided to go out and buy grapes from the fruit store outside school... the grapes are super expensive! anyways, we bought back the grapes to the tables outside lt 4 where sihui, syimah and filzah were waiting! syimah and i were sharing a bunch of grapes and when it came to the last grape, we were fighting for it! in the end, nobod got the grape cause it rolled under the table! syimah lazy pick it up so she said "leave it under the table to grow grape tree!' dots! dory came over to tell us to go for consultation and dory saw the grape under the table and she dared syimah $2 to throw it at lester's head! super comical when syimah rose to the challenge and acting all sneaky behind lester! in the end, she threw but the grape hit lester's shoulders and syimah was turned away empty handed cause dory says "never hit the head not counted!"

thurs chinese lesson zhang lao shi bought banana and grapes for us! :D

was forced to finish a chinese compo on friday before going home and it seems that i finshed the compo at 7.30! wanted to study in the lep room with jovena de but serene say that it would be closed at 7 and the security guard would chase us out... so we shifted to the hist room which was empty adn open and the best thing was that the teachers didnt lock the hist room air con! so i was studying the comfort of an air con room for the whole night until 10 plus when we were the only ones left on the 5th floor... it was quite scary cause all the lights were off...

sat had to come back to school for hist lecture... crawled up early in the morn! there goes the only day which i could sleep late.. sigh! lecture finished at about 12 plus and me, dory and sihui went out to the coffee shop to eat lunch... while ah meng went to church, me and dory went back to school to study in yes! the hist room again! :D yay! den ruoyi and her fren came to join us... i went home at about 5.30 while dory went church... quite productive! :D see, i said i can only study outside and not at home! nanyang has a very good studying environment! i like! i'm yuan-ing chia ming yee to study in nanyang over the sept hols! hist room is now my fave tutorial room! :D

i'm off for dinner! ps: i didnt finish this post on mon alone! so dun presume that i had dinner twice! :D

its high time that i should be blogging again! nothing much is going on nowadays, just simple life going on as usual!


oh! i finished harry potter!! couldnt resist the urge to buy the book on the same day as the release since i saw people reading the book at 8am in the morn already!! tiying spoiled the suspense for me twice! firstly, it was filzah msg-ing me to say that she got the harry potter book le den tiying itching to know the ending! so i asked filzah to msh her the ending cause filzah say that she flip to the last page and read the ending le! when tiying got the msg, she was so excited that she blurt out harry didnt die!! argh!! i could have murder her on the spot! and when i finally bought the book , tiying flipped to the last page and 'ehs, 19 years later!' arhs!! wang tiying!! hahas.. anyways, i finsihed the boook during the weekend... its addictive!! once you start reading, you cannot stop de!! my mum was saying how i managed to finish 48 bucks in 2 days! whatever! snape turned out to be a good guy! oh, and he loved lily evans! but to think he was so mean to harry! now that i have finish the whole series, i conclude that the first 2 books are really quite childish... but then again, the book was at first meant for children... heh heh...


my dear class gave me a scare last wed! i didnt go school on wed cause i wanted to sleep in... serious lack of sleep... i was out buying lunch when i saw 2 missed calls from valerie... i called her back but she didnt answer the phone... den when she called back, she was telling me about how mr quek was looking for me for truancy and that quite a few people had been called up to see him in the morn... i really believed her! and she put down the phone saying that teacher coming and that she will call me back again.. which they did and they started scaring me with more stories of how i was in trouble! it scared the living daylights out of me until tiying say 'dun bluff her already lahs!' den did they tell me the truth... i got the improvement award... :) valerie was exclaiming about how easy am i to bluff! hahas... okays, anyways, thanks for the nice surprise guys! hahas... :D


in the course of my absence, i have had 2 mocks! chinese and history which finished today! both mocks also sorta have hints so at least i didnt die studying for it! when i saw the ques for cold war, i stun!! sequeira said he would come up with one ques that he ahd gone through in tutorial but it turned out to be ques that we have never seen before! shock dao! what sustained me through the whole test was the sweets that dory bought for us! :D sihui arhs! eat tuna bread beside me and the smell was overwhelming!!

after mocks, went orchard with sirta to go and buy nice decorative paper meant for autograph purposes! learning from the lesson of sec4 when i bought a BOOK, not everyone in class would get to write in the book cause one person can take like centuries to write de! so i decided to learn from mann ying and buy paper to distribute to the class so that everyone can write at their own leisure and dun have to wait for another person :) we took 105 down to far east for beef hor fun and what can i say?! yummylicious! den we walked to borders and found taht there was no fancy paper there and we walked to taka... first we check out kino which also dun have fancy paper and we ended up at art friend... yay! the papers there are nice!! i bought about 11 bucks worth of paper! :) and it was home sweet home!

sirta sent me a lot of handphone games today and i am currently hooked on happy tree frens!! goodness, it awfully gorss and awfully fun! contradicting sia?! hahas... but its really fun! and i am trying to unlock the stages and get special items!!

oh yesh! i am also hooked on 师奶兵团！马国明and jacky 仔！bestest show ever!! with all my fave hong kong actors! the plot is just at its peak so i'm off to watch my show and end my entry here!ｃｉａｏｓ！

joanne LOVES sunrise!

its the weekend!! nowadays i jus look forward to the weekend and nothing more! piles of tutorial and lots of tests! jus had a econs practise paper again on wed and the resultant effect is of cos a wobbly hand and a 'sprained almost ready to drop' neck!! y you might ask since i didnt complain of these symptoms during mid years! well, we had the prac paper in the lt where the tables are super low and leg room super cramped!

anyways, 80% of the ques they gave for the prac paper was from the mid years! exactly the same! but the only ques that i attempted again was the comparative advantage ques! i didnt dare to touch the interest rates de again! i dun wanna get another 8!

after econs prac paper, ah kahr, tiying, valerie, serene and me went for dinner at pastamania cause ah khar had a craving! hahas... when we went into pastamania, there was nobody and we sat at a table for 6... samuel was coming to join us too so valerie put her bag at another table to chop seats... but as the people begin to get more and more, valerie had no choice but to take her bag away! so samuel had to be terrorised by us! hahas... kidding kidding! i had baked rice with cream of mushroom soup for dinner and it was yummy yummy!! after dinner, i could nto resist temptation to try the chocolate banana pizza for dessert so i ordered one serving! yummilicious! it was fun eating dinner with them and talking and laughing the time away :) i like the atmosphere and the company :) tho we were being very BRIGHT LIGHTBULBS! hahas... off home we went at about 8 plus cause there was a hist test the next day for me and the long long tutorial that needs to be done! valerie went off with samuel and ah khar took red line while me, serene and sirta took purple line! :D

mr mao is mean mean mean!! we were supposed to have a fact test on thurs and it was tested until pre ww2 nationalism... but cause he gave back our paper during lecture, we didnt have the time for the test... so we said postphone the test to next week and we were so happy! BUT he was extending all thats tested all the way to decolonialization!! oh my god!! suddenly so much more to study!! haiyo!!

harry potter the final book is coming out at 7.01am tmr but i didnt buy! the price is frightening!! i dun mind reading the book at a later date but pls pls!! anyone ard me pls dun tell me the ending!! i swear i will slaughter you on the spot!!

in all the hype of the impending harry potter, 一个女孩的心会“触景生情”地勾起与他的种种回忆，而隐隐地作痛。想当初因为他的搞笑性格吸引了她，有很大的部分也是因为他扮演了这么一个角色。如今一切都归零，碰面也只是冷冷的撇开头，没有一点的相识，当中还隐藏着许多没有答案的问号。或许这些问号一辈子都不会得到答案。。。

joanne LOVES coloured socks!

Happy 18th birthday!! i'm not wishing myself happy birthday but because i had a very happy birthday!! :D lots of people to show my thanks to!!

the first hint of birthday started on friday, 13 july after gp lesson when i was supposed to meet sihui at our usual table... but it turned out that sirts, valerie and ah khar came down first and we were discussing about gp results when the 3 of them started singing birthday song! hahas... was quite shock and tiying took a plastic bag out of her bag with an overall in it!! they pushed me into the toilet to try... i was wearing our GREEN class tee shirt that day and the overall happens to be green as well so i looked like a tree! hahas... but without the GREEN class tee shirt, the overall is nice by itself :) even my mum says so!

after lessons on friday, it was going to apple strudel to meet ming for dinner with jovena... she had to wait 3 hours for me cause my lesson ends at 5.30.. heh heh... we took bus down to thomson and we couldnt get ming cause her phone conked up!! in the end, it was me and jovena sitting in the apple strudel cafe waiting for ming... we were talking and talking when suddenly jovena asked me to turn ard! and i was greeted with a big signboard of "Happy birthday Joanne" with ming holding it! quite shocking!! hahas... anyways, we then had a nice time talking over dinner and laughing at every single thing that was said! hahas... den me and jovena went to the toilet! i came back from the toilet to find our dessert of apple strudel on the table already! but my portion had candles on it! hahas... surprise surprise!! the candles were relightable one!! and i blow and blow and blow but the candles jus wouldnt extinguish!! it was emitting sparks somemore!! hahas... in the end, i managed to blow the candle and dig into my yummy apple strudel!! den jovena asked me to take her water bottle from her bag and at the same time take out a plastic bag which happens to have my present in it! it was a winnie the pooh cup and handphone pouch!! cutie!! :D thankie guys!! after dinner, we went to thomson plaza to walk to digest our food to find that 90% of the shops were closed! in the end, we ended up taking photos in the toilet! we were drawing weird stares from the people entering the toilet! hahas... overall it was a fun day!!

sun was the actual day! my dear brother woke me up by throwing the present at me! he gave me a pooh bear handphone pouch too! hahas... now i got 2 pooh bear handphone pouches! i was supposed to watch movie with ming but my grandmother called to say that she wanted to bring me out for breakfast! and we decided on vivo city!! cause i want my first 18 year old breakfast to be hong kong style!! yay! so i was a statisfied 18 year old on the morn of 15 july 2007! after breakfast was off to toyrus to tong the figurines like what me and yumin did after mid years!! i managed to tong many pooh bear keychains which are currently hanging on my bag! so uber uber cute!! yesh! and i played the first jackpot machine in my life! no fun de... dunno y people like to feed money into those dumb machines! i rather use the money for shopping!

due to the super screwed up timetable of my class, tiying, valerie, ah khar and serene only had gp lecture and they decided to go tuition first to save cab fare for mr tong... but ruoyi and jiemin waited for me until 5 to cab downfor tuition... fast forward, when we were standing outside the tuition classroom, i immediately saw that the dear girls had decorated the whole board with a big big HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and they filled the whole board with drawings of REAL DOLL and roo and cockroach and eggs!! [insider info] ahaahahas... and they created a long long sentence... hmph! suddenly the light went off and i held people singing birthday song! i turned ard to see valerie opening the door and ah khar pushing a cake in on a trolley! hahahas... i was quite shocked but super super touched!! sorry serene, i didnt cry but i was still touched! h :D thankies darlings!! it was strawberry cake and i was fighting with ruoyi! cause she wanted to push my head into the cake but i was stronger!! :D

mid years was quite xing ku especially the last week.. had a lot to study but my papers were already quite spread out... there were people worst than me like sirta's and serene's combi of subjects... they had papers every day and serene even suffered from 'overdose of study'-- she was feeling really terrible on the day of chinese paper... anyways, when chinese finished on the friday of the first week, i already started to relax and let go le.. hahas... den it was back to study again on sunday.. sigh! but its all over!! i had my last paper on thurs and it was time for another show! 写意人生！i realised nowadays i'm quite powderful when it comes to watching drama serials!　

fri: nancy drew with yumin at vivo :) that girl hors, cant stand suspense de... she will always cover her face with the popcorn when there is a cliffhanger... hahas... and she was telling me about how she cant watch horror films! after that, we went toyrus! so many tong tong machines!! i spent 6 dollars tong-ing figurines! :) now they are all displayed on my bed side! brightens up my day and room! after that, it was a secret mission!!

sat: kbox with helen and gillian in the morn! after kbox, we went to this fashion and took the same top but of diff colours and went to the fitting room to try it on and take photos :) i took green, gillian took black and helen took red de... and helen purposely took a white shorts so that our bottoms would be white in unison too! :) it was grocery shopping at night at carrefour :) i tink i can really work well within a budget! hahas... bought a lot of food! salmon fish, sausages, bacon, chicken wing, sotong... you name it we have it!! hahas!


sun: the day i have been looking forward to most since before mid years! bbq with my group and yifang's group! woke up early in the morn by my mum to do housework... den they went out, leaving me to finish my show and waiting for jovena's mum to fetch us to pasir ris... jovena came to my house at about 12.30 and 出发了！we were the first there.... when we were struggling to carrying the stuff to the pit cause the drinks and charcoal were really heavy! we saw this person skating towards us and at first i couldnt recognise the person at all when i heard jovena exclaiming"help us carry! very heavy!" den i realised that it was zuo sheng!! but he super mean cans?! never help us carry, jus skate beside us like escorts!


serene haven come with the coolers so me and jovena jus sat under the sun and talked the time away... i guess it was during this time that i got sun burnt! :X serene, ruoyi and wenxin turned up with the coolers :) and we put the food and drinks into the coolers... yumin, jamie and jing wen arrived too and it was cycling time!! HOWEVE, we had a prob cause only me, jovena and ruoyi know how to cycle! serene, wen xin and yumin doesnt know how to! so we were debating whether to rent tandum bikes nots... i was trying it out with ruoyi and yay! i suceeded! i can now cycle tandum bikes! jovena also could but we ended up with one tandum bike for me and serene and individual bikes for everyone... after riding serene to one end of the pasir ris park, i rode wenxin to the other end. goodness! the other end of pasir ris park was so confusing with its so many diff paths cans?! we ended up lost on our way back and ended up at the main road! but we still managed to find our way back! its so shuang to jus ride a bike with the wind blowing at you and not having to worry about studies :D the best part was cycling downhill! we made our way back jus in time cause it started raining!


we shifted everything to the pavillion and sat down and chit chat till the rain stop... jiemin, joanne, jeannette, yifang and lewis came at about 4.45 jus when the rain was stopping... we started fire at 5 cause there were people who needed to go by 7 plus... zuo sheng was still boasting about how he can jus start the fire with one matchstick cause he used to be in scouts! ha! the fire starting process was super funny cans!? me and jiemin started to clear the water from the pit with kitchen wipes cause i forgot to bring an old cloth... zuo sheng was starting the fire but lewis was jus standing at the side looking and not helping!! so we said zuo sheng is 英雄 and lewis is 狗熊! ahahahahahs... who ask him dun help start the fire! wows, we really couldnt start the fire despite having PRENIUM CHARCOAL! the charcoals were like round round square square de.. weirdo... and the fire starters were of an inferior brand! hahas... it was said that the 公鸡brand was still the best! hahas... we had to ask the next door pit to help us! so embarrassing! hahas... we managed to get the fire started at about 6 and started bbq-ing! :)

yay! my cooking skills 被肯定! okays or rather my marinating skills! hahas... it is said that the sotong and salmon fish which i marinated myself was nicee!! yay!! and i introduced a new bbq dish -- bacon!! everyone was fighting for a piece of bacon! hahas... i was eating a bacon when jovena tapped me on the shoulder and i turned ard with the bacon hanging from my mouth and she said i look like a long tongue ghost!! hahahas...

i was standing at the pit eating the logans that ruoyi and serene's has peeled and exclaiming that i love eating fruits outdoors because i can jus throw the seeds anywhere when jovena, zuosheng and lewis gang up on me cans?! they were protesting and saying that i very unglam and 没有公德心! hmph! i continued eating my logans in my fave way den someone said 'you throw until very happy hors?'　CAN A NOT?! ahahahahahs....

we were taking photos ard the pit and there was this particular photo with special effects! at first we didnt know what happen until yifang burst out laughing when she looked at the pic.. we crowded ard her and we burst out laughing too!! cause it was super super funny! lewis was standing in the direction of the smoke when yifang snapped the pic, so he looked like a ghost emerging from the pit! ha! and he was the only one kenna! ahahahahas! he demanded that we delete the photo but we refused! hahas...

serene's mother brought watermelon!! and ladles to scoop the watermelon... so cute los! small small de! hahas... and the watermelon was super sweet and juicy! i was sharing a bowl with jovena... after that we were playing with the ice in the cooler cause no food le.. we dipped our hands into the ice water and competed to see who could tahan the longest! ruo yi and i cannot tahan the cold and we strectched our hands out of the water and rushed to the pit in an attempt to get some warmth back into our hands! My hands were numbed to the point whereby I couldn’t even feel the heat from the fire! Later serene challenged lewis to do the same as a fight against pl and vs… he didn’t want to and we kept pressuring him! in the end, serene won!! Yay! Girl power!!

little things here and there made the outing really enjoyable :) jus sitting or standing ard with great food and great company :D of cos the best was being able to laugh out loud like nobody's business! :)

We packed up and left pasir ris park at about 9.30… serene’s father was fetching serene and ruoyi so it was jovena, me, jeannette, zuo sheng and lewis taking 403 back to pasir ris interchange… me, jovena and jeannette dropped off at white sands and we took 87 home… nicee nicee day!
