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 and im being as outdated as ever..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)
