exams have started and ended, now im having quite an endless time of relaxation. im not a geek, so i will never start for o levels so soon, unlike elyssa. haha.
last fri, although i still had 2 papers more after the weekend, i went to play street soccer(ss) for about 1 and a half hs. :) i had a whale of time playing with my ex church friends, mainly ns guys and older. there were also some older girls like my erjie and others, and i was the youngest there. there were many who turned up, so we had to break up into 3 groups to play, and the winner after 10 mins, or the first team to score 2 goals wins and stays on to head off with the other team. i hadn't played ss for a loooong time, so i took a while to get into momentum. at the end, i surprisingly was almost top scorer with 2 goals. i must say it was more of the help of God, (or luck, a non-christian would say) that helped me score 2 goals. only joel scored 3, 1 more than me. i must be very content cos there were only a handful of ppl who managed a goal. :) okay, self-flattery gets no where... anyway, both times, the ball come to me, and i was near to the goal, so i just kicked and struck home! futhermore, these were my only attempts for the goal, thus making it more precious in a sense.
saturday. i went for tennis, performed way under par. then i went to nadine's house to play the our tennis-cum-squash version of game. we played the game upstairs in the 'open area' where there was a relatively high wall. u could say that it was a 3D version as we played upstairs, and thus, the ball could drop downstairs through the railings. (haha, i admit i was the culprit most of the time) whenever that happened, nadine would call 'rigi!' (her maid's name, or something like that) lol, rigi drop whatever she was doing in the kitchen to help us throw the ball up a few times. till we (or rather, i) dropped the ball so many times that we felt bad, so we had to run down to get the ball. the game was sooo extremely fun that nadine and i love it and have been playing for 2 weeks alr! :) furthermore, we love the thrill of keeping the ball in due space constraints.
sunday, i went to church, talked with nat. :)
yesterday on mon, physic paper 2 was horrible..
today, physic paper 1 was manageable, i finished in 1/2 h and spent the rest of the time bo liaoing and checking my answers. i got quite bo liao to the point that i started 'beautifying' the shadings on the oatas sheet. lol, if i spot one careless mistake later, i will smack my head.
after the paper, sec 3 eoy for me was officially over. that meant more going out, more time to watch dramas online, more time to read good novels etc. and no stress! please, i was wishing a stressless life, and it took almost eternity to happen, now that exams are over, my mind is finally relaxed.
after exam, my clique went out! ooh ha! i went home to change first. then i met them at cherry hill. then we hopped on the train and it brough us to marina square. there, we ate breakfast, went window shopping, took a few pics and walked through the arcade before settling for mama mia! the movie. haiz, but there was one particular episode that i must mention. thanks to samantha, my clique had some experience with luck games. sam, whoa best ah, spent about 6-8 dollars on those toy vending machines. the rest spent about 40 cents each, the result: no winnings at all. but it was thrilling enough to make us hooked for about 15 mins. before this, we had breakfast at han's. i had chicken congee cos i wasn't that hungry(and given my past experiences of being unable to finish whatever i order, so i was once bitten, twice shy. actualy, thrice bitten. :)) while we ate, my clique recollected all past memorable events of survivor, ranging from foursome of yul, ozzy, becky and sundra to the pathetic kathy and guilible erik. we had many a laughs. survivor indeed is a common topic that we can bond through.
movie was next. it had certainly lived up the recommendations five different ppl. the songs were very interestingly interwined into a plot and there were funny scenes too. after the movie, we walked to suntec city, and passed a section of the F1 tracks. i was looking out for the tyre marks left behind, however with the road jammed with cars, i was unsuccessful. at suntec, we window shopped more. then i came by this yami yoghurt stall and i bought some ice cream. it was shiok!
now for the shocker! i saw BRISNGR! it was released in harris popular. not sure whether it is a popular branch, but it certainly releases books fast! according to the alagaesia site, the release in US was in sep and then it would some time to get to singapore. so i was genuinely shocked when i saw the book lying on the store shelve. unfortunately, what remained in my purse was inadequate to get a book. so my plan to buy the book had to be shelved. anyway, i plan to buy the cheaper version. i think it would be good enough. also elyssa, rmb to bring new moon on fri. and lend me eclipse after you're done! u had better! :)
okay, enough about today. tomr im going for a hike to some small hill in singapore, no, it's not bukit timah hill, but some other hill which name i and clueless about. then in the early evening... im going to meet nadine to have a smashing time of tennis!!!!!!! yay, im so darn excited! :D
on thurs, i will probably go for my stupid cca. then i will stay at home and waste time on the com.
okay, here's to a great holiday! :D:D:D:D:D
ps, go to elyssa's blog for pics from the outing, it should be out soon!!

I am a survivor!
i have survived the torment! yay! im finally done with exams! or more accurately, more or less done, i still have two more papers of physics, but i still have a wealth of free time! im not going to hit the books today, instead, i will start tomorrow. to me, time this week passed really fast, (although my clique thinks otherwise..), well, my reason's cos while studying, you never have enough time to finish what you are studying, so i always think that there is too little time, so i cramp everything in the limited time i have, hence all my time is used up before i know it. furthermore, time during exams passes by so quickly cos you are fully concentrating on the paper and time just whizzes by. it sure beats the dull lessons on normal school days.
i feel that the exams on the whole well relatively manageable, except for killer chem paper 2! i think there goes my chem marks... haha, but im still super happy, cos as time passes so quickly, my exams are being disposed off at the same rate. that's why im always happy after each paper, not because im confident about doing well or what, it's just the joy of one less exam.
my clique is planning outings this coming week. note the pural used, so that's multiple reasons to be hairpee!
now, im going to indulge in royal tramp and the golden path. they are both fine series! probably one of the nicest. haha, before the exams, i was so stressed that i considered watching dae jang geum all over, haha, it still remains number 1 in my heart!
and guess what! this joy beats all the above. SURVIVOR GABON IS PREMIERING TODAY! i love survivor n i really hope that this season's as great as it's predecessors! my all time fav is cooks island, cos korean yul won! and it also starred ozzy, the wonder boy who swims like a dolphin. haha. okay, i side tracked, this season's going to have some spiciness cos the cast is mainly young and good looking. :P and what's more, it gives elyssa and i more to talk about in school. not that we dont talk, we talk lots, but survivor is another of our common interests. :)
okay, i think i have said all that i want to, oh yes! n im going for tennis tomr! WITH NADINE! she loves it so do i! okay, i shall go and watch my show now. :)

Yeeha!
yeeha is a word taken from a game i played when i was younger, happylanders. it was sounded when every time you finish a level, and that was when i was super happy cos a level could be very difficult to complete, so yeeha means im happy. :)
i've just come home from school. and school's getting greater even though the dreaded exams are inching closer. the cause is my friends! they are so nice and crazy. today, during english especially, diane, elyssa and i were crapping while we were doing our compre. and as a result all of us were high and i could not concentrate. im not surprised if i get lots of questions wrong! i wish that we will be forever on such good terms till the end of next year, and maybe beyond that. i hope the enthusiasm of our friendship will never die out. :)
this days, the trying days before exam, i have been relying on 2 things to relieve stress.
1. ice cream! im really afraid that i will grow obese, or maybe my body's in the process alr. i have been eating chunks of ice cream! cos my bought this 1 litre of ice from the supermarket. and sis has her tub of ice cream too. so i eat and indulge! haha. ice cream's the best to relieve stress for me.
2. charlie chaplin! this guy's so darn hilarious. just watch him for a while and u will burst into squeals of laughter. the boxing video is the best so far. lol, i laughed my guts out!
i think i will show it here, then all my very stressed friends can have a laugh too! :)
lol! so funny huh!
unconsciously, im been ending every paragraph with a smiley! this means im really yeeha!

Jurong Birdpark
today, i went to somewhere special. that is the jurong birdpark! haha, although it might sound boring and uncool to go there for young people, i think it was really fun. lemme tell you why.
1. i had company from 3 of my church friends, natalie, claudia and iva.
2. the admission was free. (thanks to kong wee's help)
3. the place had a revamp, and the it's much more appealing and looks more refurbished
4. the particular 2 bird shows that i watched were very entertaining. (actually they are the only 2 birdshows, the 'birds n buddies' and the 'birds of prey show'). there were quite a few changes made to the shows, making them fresher in presentation, unlike what was shown in the past which were all smiliar for the almost 5 visit i had made. i will tell more about it later.
5. the lory loft! that's where we really got up close to touching birds, in fact they came to us! will tell more later.
6. the waterfall though fake is the only waterfall in singapore, i think.. it was really refreshing just to stand near it. :)
okay, 6 reason! wow! that's amazing for such a small place. u noe, my friends and i were making a joke on how small singapore is. we were sort of complaining that the birdpark was rather small and there was not really that much to see, and put blame on singapore for being so tiny. (that didnt mean we didnt complain about walking, i admit, i did the most complaining. ;)) so when we walked past the ostrich enclosure, my friend spotted the ostrich eggs and remarked that they were so small, unlike those that we have seen elsewhere, then i quipped, 'everything in singapore is SMALL..' haha, and everyone laughed.
okay, back to the very beginning, at 12.45, i met nat and then we made our way down to boon lay. there, we meet up with claudia and iva. we took 194 and arrived at the bp. we had free admission and went to the world of darkness. we saw many many owls. there was a pair of dunno-what-breed owls and witnessed them turning their heads 360 degrees! it was quite freaky! haha. and there were some that stared at you with seeming-evil eyes that made you feel like breaking the eye contact before the owl seemed like it was going to gorge your eyes out.
at the entrance, bestfriends - claudia (L) and iva(R)
at the entrance too, with the same bird, best friends - nat and me!
okay, this is the cool head-turning pair. oh that's a pun! well they are truly head-turning because of their beauty and have the ability to head-turn. the one in front has a blurred head as it was turning its head while i took the shot. sorry, there's no video cos i wasn't quick enough.
next, we headed for the first show, the birds n buddies show. the most spectacular part of the show was the parrot speaking, conversing and singing for us! it was really hilarious when the bird spoke mandarin and made clear its intonations. i can say that its intonation's better than mine! haha, i had such a good laugh that my nose got choked and i was officially sick with running/block nose for the rest of the day. oh oh! claudia was one of the volunteers to hold the hoop for the bird to flor through! haha, kudos to her, she's so brave!
after the show, we went walking around until 4, which was the time slot for the 2nd show. the second show, as mentioned earlier, was the birds of prey show. the birds really got super close to the audience! the host of the show pretended to be a waiter and held a metal plate. on it, there was a piece of meat, the vultures (close to 7) had the task of trying to snatch the piece of meat off the tray, and of course gobble it up. and the audience's task was to scream whenever a vulture got close to the host and he would duck to prevent the vulture from achieving its goal. okay, that sounds lame, but it was exhilarating! the birds were such aggressive creatures that you cant help but feel like 'torturing' them. so the birds had to work very hard in order to get their piece of meat. through this whole process, the birds flew around the audience stand. swooping low many times, making the audience super excited. the pair of young girls seated behind me almost made me deaf with their incessant screaming. it show truly made everyone lively and alert. :)
after the show, the four of us went around for walk around the whole of the bp. i shall talk about the highlights. that is, the waterfall! the waterfall was cool! i just love rushing water, cos it's very relaxing and refreshing. and there, i met 3 koreans! well, they were ah sohs, but not bad leh, haha and i still had the courage to us one of them to help us take a group shot! actually i couldn't tell that they were koreans until nat told me after the pic was taken, then she prompted me to thank them in korean, but i didn't dare. lol.
with red birds, claudia and iva were disgusted with their colour, but well, red's my favourite colour, and i couldn't resist a pic with a background of red. :)
taken by the korean, not bad lah, cos she was really clueless at first on how to take a decent shot. haha, but she pass lah! the four of us are very happy here! the cool in the air!
best friends, but we are all good friends. iva has her hood on, upon my request. :)
next, we proceeded to the lory loft. there, we feed the lories. they are such adorable creatures, only to have one be flaw, they are super greedy! the do almost anything for food, even 'clawing' its feeder. that is what a bad bird did to me. well sort of lah, cos it flew on my back and i could feel it's claws, thank goodness they weren't talons! the bird soon rested on my shoulder and attempted to get some of the food in my hand, okay this bird was really desperate, it dropped all barriers and even came volunterrily into contact with some stranger in hope for a morsel of food. definitely not wise, but i am of course a every understanding and accomodating person, i did not shoo it away or punch it off, in short, i did not disturb it at all! (however, i was indeed quite afraid of it shitting on me!) haha!
a lory, oh my little lory! it's so rich in colour that it looks fake!
the 2 of them with greedy birds. argh lories are so greedy for food!
here, im feeding 3 lories, see! this is solid evidence that lories are really greedy! 3 birds squeezing their heads into a container to get their beak into some mash of bird food.
nat, she shrieks when birds are at close proximity! so this's a rare pic! she was so scared and was screaming non-stop! i took me pains to take this pic, nat.
taken at the lory loft entrance.
birds of a feather flock together? it seems really true!
claudia likes this soft toy, oh.. it's cute but it's only a soft toy. haha.
went to the penguin expedition, see the pic for a better description of the place.
at the penguin expedition. the penguins were sadly dead(not literally!). maybe they were napping after their meal time.
so we did not really have a chance to 'interact' with these swimming birds
upon exiting, we went though the souvenir shop. there i witness another pair of korean tourists. one was a middle-aged lady and a younger man, probably her son. they were requesting for something very interesting. guess... haha, they were requesting for parrots, not magnet ones, not soft toy ones, but real ones! the staff there had to explain to them that there wasn't sale of birds at the birdpark, instead, they could have a try at the pet shops. haha! this pair of tourist are so eccentric! i wonder how on earth they will transport the bird back to their country! maybe install gps on the bird and let it fly its way to korea! good idea!
ah, acting cute huh!
finally, after the trip at the bp, the four of us intended to catch a movie at jurong point, however, without very appealing movies available, we decided to forgo the movie. we went to eat dinner. the food was really good. i ate duck noodles, the duck was very nice! and nat ate tom yam noodles, whoa, very spicy i must say, but very very addictive! i drank some of her soup and almost could not tahan, but i still drank cos it was so addictive!
after dinner, we ate waffles and ice-cream at scoopz. it was nice! :)
after that, we headed for home. :)
tada! today was fun! haha

finally, after the trip at the bp, the four of us intended to catch a movie at jurong point, however, without very appealing movies available, we decided to forgo the movie. we went to eat dinner. the food was really good. i ate duck noodles, the duck was very nice! and nat ate tom yam noodles, whoa, very spicy i must say, but very very addictive! i drank some of her soup and almost could not tahan, but i still drank cos it was so addictive!
after dinner, we ate waffles and ice-cream at scoopz. it was nice! :)
after that, we headed for home. :)
tada! today was fun! haha

Half of hols
i always blog during the long school breaks. hehe btw who doesn't? except for those exceptional few that should have the abbreviations R.I.P as their blog url.. yipee, this hols have been really nice. cos i have discovered a few LOVES of mine. actually only 2 lah, but i love them so much. :)
whee!
before i talk about my LOVES, i shall have a short recap of what has happened to me since the hols started. and im being as outdated as ever..
on fri, teachers' day was oakay...im glad that i managed to complete the feat of passing 10 teachers their teachers' day prezzie. u must wonder why i so kiasu, give so many teachers... (actually at first i only planned on giving at most 3 teachers) the reason is pretty simple, my mom being a ex-teacher empathised with my teachers and said that she wanted me to appreciate all of them for their effort in teaching me.. so that was it, i had to prepare presents for 10 teachers! and imagine how i did that, simple, haha. i just baked cookies lor... problem solved hehe. actually for the past 9 years in school, my mom,with me the helper, would bake something for my teachers, so it's been tradition. anyway, i bet the teacher's really like the baking cos my mom is a really seasoned baker. she quipped, "while my sisters were learning driving, i went for baking classes", saying that to justify the fact that, to date, she can't drive, after attending baking classes, she probably got busy with my sisters and i, so no time lor.. okay, back to the point. this year was a little special cos i suddenly remembered that i had not gotten gifts for my teachers at around 9pm on thurs (the day before my school's celebration of teachers' day). and mom was away for bs, so i gave a ring and she told me what i wanted to get them, then i thought maybe i would bake, which would be convenient and not that expensive. (remember i had to cater to 10 teachers..) so this year, i went solo. harhar. but i actually have a wealth of experience being the aide under my mom for the many times she baked. so i got cracking and baked, prepared the cards for the teachers etc. and i wasn't done til 1am.. so i slept quite late for my standards, well teachers, feel honoured!
the next day was good. my clique met in the canteen earlier to give out as many presents to the respective teachers, we foresaw an almost impossible chance of jostling through the throng later when all the students and all the teachers were on the loose, what chaos it would be, so we were smart and foresaw that situation.
later on for ACES day, i did hip hop dancing, or whatever you call it, for the first time in my life. you see, i really abhor dancing cos i think im not good at it at all, although i danced a little in p6, in the p6 farewell concert but i still resent dancing. what was worse for me, we were dancing to a christian song. u noe, im nothing against that, but the christian songs that i have been exposed through the 15 years of my life have been hymnal and very solemn kind of music, so it's pretty hard for me to singing along to pop christian music and what more dance! haiz, however, on the whole, i felt that it was a pretty good workout. my church thinks that pop christian music is abominable. okay.. i side-tracked..
after ACES day, we had break and i shared my cookies with my friends, they liked it and i was happy. then we gave out more presents, and the assembled at the hall for teachers' day celebration. the performances were oakay.. and the celebration was oakay too.
when the whole affair rounded up, my clique, except for shariel went to serangoon central for lunch. we tried to avoid eating at cafe cartel, but unfortunately, almost all other stalls were close, leaving me to my dreadful choice of ... cafe cartel. im really sick of if even though i had eaten there less than 5 times. even though i might enjoy the meal, i always, ALWAYS cannot finish the food! the food is definitely for larger bellies than mine, so after every meal, i feel very devastated, having to look at the unfinished meal and having thoughts lingering to less unfortunate people... btw, i dunno why, but i always buy the most expensive food within my clique whenever we eat at cafe cartel, so that restaurant is probably jinxed for me. no lah, im not superstitious, jk jk only.
when i got home, i dun remember doing anything, but one thing for sure, i started reading elyssa' must read, that is twilight, i soon got really engrossed in it... that's my first clue one of my loves. ;)
saturday- i went for tennis, as usual, and tennis was fun, as usual. after tennis, i went for lunch with nadine. we were on a shoestring budget as i, in my super forgetful mind forgot to get money from my dad who fetch us to heartland mall. so nad had only 5 plus and we shared a bowl of tom yam bee hoon on the second floor. hehe, you could say that we walked out with teary eyes and running nose. heh. but i feel that i can really ren spicy stuff better this time. after that, nadine went home and i got home to shower and then go out for the recce for my youth camp.
i met dorcas, iva and cheryl and boon leng mrt station, then we headed to camp christine. good thing dorcas knew how the drive, cos the place i must say is pretty hard to locate and hard to get there. and it was a really long way in even after the bus dropped u, so thanks dorcas! at camp christine, i had a pleasant surprise, it wasn't half as bad as what i had imagined it to be. the sleeping area was really quite well furnished, and there were facilities, just that we had to book for the usage of every single one of them. one con, u could say is that there is insufficient toilets, but i think humans can tahan 4 days without shower, well remember diane saying that she ever did. haha.
after the recce, i went to nadine house, we watch videos, played badminton, saw wang fei gu's unglams and laughed. haha! it was really exhilarating when we played miniclip games too.
saturday was thoroughly enjoyable.
on sunday, in church, i ate instant noodle for lunch (although there was proper food), nissin tom yam brand you noe! haha. i could tahan!
for dinner i went thai express and ate tom yam soup with glass noodles! i think im mad about tom yam now.. after dinner, while mom went to visit mama, er jie and i bought a box of venezia ice-cream and feasted on it for parts of the way home. while walking home (er jie says walking after dinner doesn't make you as fat as when you dont walk), er jie and i had a very honest talk about what we wanted our futures to be. man, i think her future is so full of promising results. a doctor, a housewife and all..
on mon, i read and read twilight. it was so nice! i noe im really slow in catching what's 'in'. for an example, i start going crazy over things like songs, movies, books when they are quite past their prime....
okay, i really like twilight and its series, i got info of all of them through the internet. the story's so catchy and i really hope that elyssa while lend me the books new moon and eclipse soon, if not i will resort to buying them myself if im really that desperate. i might be! so that's one of my loves! twilight... it's nice. and guess what! the movie's coming out this year, and the characters are all not-bad looking. so i will mark one day on my calendar to watch the movie in the cinema with at least elyssa, i bet she's as excited as me about the movie!
the second love, that is, the song on the right... way back into love, i find it nice. it came from the movie music and lyrics, which again was released last year and i only got to appreciate it this year, im so late huh. i like the song thanks to er jie, cos she kept playing it on her com on sunday after we came back. so i got interested and ask for the title of the song. then i got interested in the movie. i watched the movie online and it was not bad man! haha, it was really comical in many of the parts. i hope you the song as much as i like it.
okay, this is my intended short post. see how long it's grown.. haha, im really lorsor man! okay i shall catch my winks now. catch me in your good dream diane! (haha, inside joke)
