Dish of the Day: You're the First, My Last, My Everything- Barry White
i was quite bummed yesterday cuz blog was down.
anyhow, i'm following in vic's footsteps to engage in blog therapy.
work is almost a curse word.
i know i was all excited about 'going out there' and stuff, but when you're really out there...
not to mention all the secondary school kids i see all the time that makes me wish i'm back in new town, having fun and getting caught by lau for stupid reasons.
although my co-workers are really nice to me, even buying me lunch and all, it still sort of sucks that i'm 17 and some of them are almost twice my age.
oh, and most of my friends have went on to jcs. most of those who didnt have jobs too.
i am boring girl who is becoming an archaic. i have evidently lost my sense of style if i had any to begin with.
working makes you frumpy. NEVER forget that.
plus, it did feel quite terrible to be looked down upon, going to the bank with my supervisor to bank in our earnings, wearing our sweet secrets attire, amidst all the classy working people with their laminated diplomas or certificates.
i guess that's just a teensy bit of life without THE treacherous piece of paper.
i'm looking forward to the dinner at jun xiang's house tml. i need to gather with people i know.
but still, thank God for poviding all the miracles that helped me through this whole week. without Him i might have quit my job after the first day. :)
oh by the way, i'm working at the Great World branch. hahaa.

Dish of the Day: I Will Survive- Cake
today is such a lovely, beautiful day!
:D
first of all, the new town guys won against Jurong Sec !! YAY!!!
it was such an exciting hour i tell you. they were literally ON fire!
:D
plus, i had a great first-day-of-work at Sweet Secrets.
the people there are absolutely some of the nicest people i've ever known. :)
i guess it's quite a good feeling to be using my brain after so long.
my mum is nagging again. nag nag nag.
anyhow, i've learnt to use the 'monotone' method when dealing with my mother. i just have to let her talk all she wants and say "mmm." at the appropriate times, and the whole family is in peace because nobody quarrels.
i miss my SA friends.
at first i was afraid, i was petrified.
i kept thinking i could never live without you
by my side
i spent oh so many nights
just thinking how you've done me wrong
and i grew strong
i learnt how to get along

Dish of the Day: Xing Qing- Jay Chou
jay chou is pretty much the only chinese artiste i ever really paid attention to.
well, besides the fact that he's kinda very dashing, he sings quite well la! and his lyrics actually carry some sort of feeling and meaning, which i feel other chinese songs tend to lack.
david tao and wang lee hom are also not too bad. :)
just came back from a wedding dinner at Hyatt with a tummy filled to the brim.
time for lessons on social etiquette.
sigh.
i'm bushed.
tomorrow's gonna be my first day of work!
i'm quite excited.
:)
have a great day at school y'all !!

Dish of the Day: Perfect Moment- Martine McCutcheon
This is my moment
This is my perfect moment with you
This is what God meant
This is my perfect moment with you
I wish I could freeze this space in time
The way I feel for you inside
This is my moment
This is my perfect moment with you
Tell me you love me when you leave
You're more than a shadow, that's what I believe
You take me to places I never dreamed I'd see
Minute by minute you are the world to me
I wish I could frame the look in your eyes
The way that i feel for you inside
This is my moment
This is my perfect moment with you
And if tomorrow brings a lonely day
Here and now i know I haven't lived in vain
I'll cry my tears in the rain
and if love never comes again
I can always say I've been
to paradise skies in your eyes... in your eyes
So tell me you love me the moment you leave
You're more than a shadow, I've just to believe
I wish I could keep you all of my life
The way that I feel for you inside
This is my moment
This is my perfect moment with you
This is my moment
This is my perfect moment
With you, with you..
i guess i'm just torturing myself.
i can always say i've been to paradise in your eyes...
letting go of it... bit by bit.
how do you forget a person?

Dish of the Day: When You Say Nothing At All- Ronan Keating
i cannot believe how bored i am.
how pointless and nonsensical can my life be? watching Shark Attack 3 ain't exactly much of an entertainment.
i REALLY need a job before you see pieces of jasmine instead of a whole jasmine because you'll see my rotting parts because i rotted TOO much.
how can anybody rot too much?!!
i am so affected.
what else can i do in my life now except blog, blog and yes, blog some more about things that dont matter and rant non-stop about little wormy things that don't really matter much except in my head? plus my whining? it's bad la?
oh and the semicute lead actor just pulled out a shark's tooth from the half-gone boat that's about as big as a maple leaf.
"that's evidence!!" he says.
the shark is huge!!!
oh and they didn't die. darn.
not that i'm sadistic or anything.
AHHH i need to scream.
i need something productive to do.
i'm going to go do my QT and den come back and crap more.

Get Real- Jennifer Lopez
MTV TRL Awards
where art thou?
i just watched Romeo + Juliet, and goodness it was sad.
how can anyone fall in love so madly that they die for each other, all in the span of 5 days??
which is why it is a Shakespearean play.
anyhow, i caught up on the play on Sparknotes. this is what Romeo said when he first set eyes on Juliet:
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
sigh.
anyhow, found out lots of stuff about this year's postings. do you know that over 800 people applied to go to business at ngee ann poly alone?? as first choice even!
oh, and it really helps that there are 5 5-pointers in mass comm, which means there are 5 people with 6 freaking points for L1R5 in mass comm!! goodness.
it's MAD la.
i've applied for jobs at bengawan solo and sweet secrets and none has called me as yet.
i think i'm just going to be a worm until 23 may if i dont get any replies soon.
anybody to worm wid me??
JESSE MCCARTNEY IS SO ADORABLE!!! :D

Dish of the Day: 25 Minutes- Michael Learns to Rock
Meet Joe Black
i am absolutely excited elated exhilarated at my posting!
i finally got in!!! :D
note to bel: YOU ARE GONNA GET YOUR CUTE BUTT IN NEXT YEAR WITH ME!!!!
yay! :D
ooh one cannot imagine my joy. :)
though i am little pensive about what the lecturer who interviewed me said:
"you do know that it's going to consume your life?"
hmmm.
whatever. i'll be the most productive bee starting 23 May.
ahh!!!
mass comm mass comm mass comm.
to all my SA friends who are nice enough to come visit my blog : i WILL miss you guys!
btw, the new town bball boys have triumphed over Yishun Town Sec, a.k.a. last year's 1st runner-up in the nationals! :D it was such a terrifying match and all of us supporters were screaming our lungs out. haha.
and i love this song. it's such a sad classic.
After some time I've finally made up my mind
She is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I'm searching everywhere to find her again
To tell her I love her
And I'm sorry 'bout the things I've done
I find her standing in front of the church
The only place in town where I didn't search
She looks so happy in her wedding dress
But she's crying while she's saying this
Boy I missed your kisses all the time but this is
Twenty five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry you are
Twenty five minutes too late
Against the wind I'm going home again
Wishing be back to the time when we were more than
friends
But still I see her in front of the church
The only place in town where I didn't search
She looks so happy in her wedding dress
But she's cried while she's saying this
Out in the streets
Places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat
Inside my head
Still I can hear the words she said
I can still hear what she said

Dish of the Day: Every Morning- Sugar Ray
tv tv tv
Every morning there's a heartache hanging from the
corner of my girlfriend's four post bed
I know it's not mine and I know she thinks she loves
me but I never can believe what she's said
Something so deceiving, when you start believing
turn me around again
Said we couldn't do it, you know I want to do it again.
i'm thankful that He has set my heart right.
anyhow, today has been depressing. the mass comm interview didn't go well, job hunting has been futile and i am bogged down by PMS.
i mean, they asked about GENERAL KNOWLEDGE for goodness' sake. luckily my mum sorta told me some stuff about hong kong and i managed to read some of Time the night before. grrr.
they even asked me what SOFTWARE i know how to use. how the heck will i know since i'm not, i dunno, exactly a movie maker??!!
this sucks. and not to mention the fact that every employer wants you to have work experience before they employ you. how to have work experience if nobody gives you a chance eh.
:(
anyhow, i went back to SA after the interview to take OG photo.
i felt so sad ok? not because they called me ah lian (due to my orange hair), but it dawned on me that it was truly my last day in SAJC.
so yeap, i guess that added on to the sadness.
i'm so anxious about tml because i'm almost 100% sure i screwed the interview up.
not to mention the problem of finding a job. my only glimmer of hope lies with the nice lady at Samsung. restuarants cant seem to do without experience. :S
but still, bless you all!
btw, i managed to upload some photos taken last sat. go look at the 'ham-some' blue guys! hahaha.
hopefully the link works! :s
and my whole class going pulau ubin tml.
why am i not going?
lemme guess.
i can't cycle!!!!

Dish of the Day: Four Seasons- Vivaldi
How to Be a Christian for Dummies
no doubt that i've just lost a friend over God, but i just have to make my stand clear.
after all, who can understand the pain and the joy of being a Christian unless he is one himself?
drop my faith and i tell you, i'll just go back to being the ragdoll and the bitch that i was.
i don't want to go back to drinking a bottle a day, being proud of my pathetic little tattoo, finding my significance in how loud i can talk or how heavy a punch i can throw, or even resume to my nightly routine of crying every night over my dad who killed himself because he was afraid of going bankrupt.
luck? what's that to me?
i can't go back to that life if i ever want to live for a purpose.
i do hope he reads this. i'm definitely not someone who is forcing you to be like me, but simply to convey to you that this is where my strength comes from.
so i supppose this is one relationship gone.
is it really so hard to have faith?

pretty pretty pretty
the wedding was fabulouso!
so sweet okay? especially when chris wiped the tears off serene's eyes...
and anna and elsie holding hands going down the aisle before the ceremony started. haha. the most adorable little kids after my cousins. :P
all the boys were in baby blue and all the girls in pink. hee. and i ate like a gazillion egg dofus cuz it was just so darn delicious.
okay la so i was the pig at the party. ;)
went for service after that, and then had dinner. then we took loads of photos and yea, everything ended on a happy note.

How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days
i can lose one in 6.
how to lose a guy in 6 days- be a self-centred bee-yatch.
haha.
anyhow, tml is chris tan and serene's wedding!
mmm. the church is beautiful. :) was there in the evening to help decorate and all. it looks like my career prospects as a florist aren't too bad. hee.
oh and here's me for the gunbound revival.
:P
I wish i could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who's inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if you said so
You can buy all the make up
That M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out, who am I to
Be in the position to make me feel
So damn unpretty
I'll make you feel unpretty too
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm being stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I believe I'm trippin'...

resting my butt at juliee's
yup. decided to boggle off since my sis got her buddies to stay over at our place.
julie's place is quite cosy. hahaa.
anyhow.
today's BBQ was fun!!!
spent like 2 hours shopping for the food and stuffs with chris they all. after that we prepared all the bits at his place before the guys came. then we played bball and made stupid shots. haha. after that we splashed into the pool. then stupid wei min kept bullying me. and wei long too. and basically everyone who could reach the bottom of the pool. grrr.
i drank so much pool water i was too full for food.
okay that's an exaggerration. :P
after the bbq we went to the sauna. like WOW it was burning. but then there were those nice ladies who gave us hair conditioner and baby oil to apply before we went in, so you really felt the tai tai diff. hee.
anyhow, i'm tired.
washed out.
why is it i'm not sleeping again?
oh i don't know, maybe cuz my head's too full of lucid thoughts.
well, perhaps lucid ain't the word.
i'm going nuts.
julie's sound asleep already.
i should prolly turn in.

Dish of the Day: She- Elvis Costello
Notting Hill?
the eternal sunshine of the vaguely spotless mind.
i guess i was rather emotionally unstable yesterday. thanks for the encouragement. :)
perhaps it was time for a mental breakdown?
whatever it is, i'll wait until the time comes.
oh and today, like almost the whole class pang seh-ed for the class outing. kelvin only pang seh-ed when me and hong ian already paid.
so, in the end, hong ian and i entertained ourselves ever so 'wildly' at the ice skating rink.
the two of us skated here and there mindlessly, counting to about 30 rounds for our money's worth.
after that, hui yi came and the 3 of us caught Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
the movie was okay la. baby sunny was very adorable though. hahaa.
den met ted and played pool at clementi. okay la he's not a bad player. hahaa. not like i'm good though. after 3 years i'm still like the same standard. :(
oh, and i donated money to li su!! they doing flag day. sigh. miss those hardworking days. those are the times when you can really have fun, while doing your bit for charity. or you might slip away to some cinema with a whole bunch of other slackers and catch some dumb movie and laugh your arses off. :)
came home rather early today. dinner was good. continued with my meteor garden obesession.
and i just played a few rounds of gunbound with marcel they all. haha. my luck ran out quite fast. :P
what if life got more interesting and you realized you do not make the cut for such an exciting drama?
at least, that's what you think. right?
She
May be the face I can't forget.
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay.
She may be the song that summer sings.
May be the chill that autumn brings.
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day.
She
May be the beauty or the beast.
May be the famine or the feast.
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell.
She may be the mirror of my dreams.
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd.
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry.
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past.
That I remember till the day I die
She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is
She.

Dish of the Day: The Sweetest Thing- U2
yes and it's not you at the top of the world right now
can anyone die because they are too overwhelmed by the perpetual sadness that this deceitful world projects?
i feel as though i'm sinking very much closer to that stance.
it may be the wrong word. whatever.
spongebob squarepants is a movie for bad mood people.
it's so hilarious because of its ultimate stupidity and the fact that bubbles are for kids and we should all visit the retarded Goofy Goobers where the hedious peanut person exists.
oh, excuse me, it's an underwater peanut.
do i have to mention the Bikini Bottom town and the son of a gun King who has a shiny bald head??!!!
pardon me for being so crude. i'm also quite affected by that wrinkly old DAvid Hasslehoff's appearance in the cartoon.
oh and i realized that i just divulged the secret of say, half the substance of the movie.
i'm upset. sorry about the emo breakout.
why does he have to appear ?
and why does another he keep giving me all that wrong vibes? i'm almost plucking up the courage to hope that he'll just tell me in the face to buzz off, but of course i'm too much of a tard to do that.

i am eating!
i SO love my hair now. :D
well, it may not be the blazing blue i've dreamt of, but then you do not always get what you want initially eh?
my hair is now partially orange!
and yes, it's BRIGHT orange.
when i saw the dye i thought i was gonna beat myself up cuz it was like highlighter orange. then it was on my hair and there was no turning back.
so i just told God, i hope this doesnt turn out too bad.
and it didn't!
:)
my hairdresser is a super cool guy, with black nails and all, plus he's been in the line since he was wad, sixteen?? he's twenty-two now and he said he used to do freelance, and he has taken part in loads of competitions. the 'creative' highlighting method he did for me was sth like the one he did in one of his competitions! so you can imagine how thrilled i was with my hair in his hands.
plus, he was recently poached over from Toni&Guy. you didnt hear it from me.
*smiles with glee
anyhow, mich was with me and she highlighted with this really nice dark red. :D only i didnt like the guy who did it for her cuz he used to be my hairdresser. he's so G** ok. not like alex who is so nice and everything and NOT G**.
sigh. i should stop having prejudices.
me and mich went shopping at far east after that and she got this really sweet pink skirt. i wish i look a little more feminine so i can buy it too. :( after that we went to see the new town friendly against the pjc bball team. frankly speaking, i think we went there just to watch show? haha... oh and nic, julie and jacq were also there. den i ate up like almost all of jacq's fries and gulped down her coke, so she was left pretty thirsty. :X sorry abt that!
ah. life is vunderful with orange hair. :D

the New Ru Lai Handprint
my mum loves the show
i still have great difficulty trying to appreciate the New Ru Lai Handprint (direct translation.. muahahha). the Young Bao Qing Tian is still quite okay actually, but i just do not like the Handprint. it's the new version that oddly stars CHRISTOPHER LEE and PHYLLIS QUEK. forgive me that i lost interest in them 5 years ago.
anyhow, my skin is itching from friday's burn. my face is already peeling so i guess the rest of my body is going to soon.
ewww.
i regret not putting the sun block.
oh, and i'm a little glad cuz i called Np's Voice Response System and it said i'm exempted from the written test for entry into mass comm.
phew.
i just do not want to end up being overconfident you see. it is, after all, about my very intangible future.
and i pasted all the Incredibles bedroom stickers on my wall already. now my room looks like it belongs to some 3-year old, with it already been painted yellow and purple.
hahaaa. well okay it does look sorta cute-sy.
and YES, me and mich finally gonna dye our hair tml. there's a bring-a-friend offer at Arches. hopefully they do a good job?
the most saddening thing is that there seems to be no place with the dark blue that i want. :(
keep on studying all you O lvl folks!!! persevere !!! you've only got 400 metres out of 1.6 km left! or maybe out of 2 km? hmm what am i saying. *shakes head

Dish of the Day: Big Machine- Goo Goo Dolls
staring into time and space
don't you just love the Goo Goo Dolls? well, beside their highly eccentric name, they are pretty good musicians eh?
anyhow.
i must state that i am vehemently against all forms of animal abuse, especially after the horrible, horrible event i witnessed, with the master forcing the dog to swim in the sea, with a leash on its poor little neck nonetheless.
and the poor dog was so THIN la!!!
:/
so yeap, i was with my class at siloso beach then.
i must say that i had lots of fun. we swam to the fake island opposite the beach, to the big rocks where you get all the snails and stuff, and jolyn and ba zhang(kelvin) were being rather mean to the tiny water snails. haha. ok it actually wasn't intentional, but still. :P
and now i got this red and white tan on my body, especially my back. haha. it does look quite disgusting.
had food at Harbourfront, den went to town with marcel, hong ian and huiyi, before heading to bugis for a g12-cum-dinner with jacq, bel and co,.
i basically had a great but thoroughly exhausting day, especially with all that travelling.
i thank God for everyone! :D and for everything and every place He brings me to, even for all that bad stuff.
oh, and i realized, when parting with marcel they all at Borders, that it was, indeed, possibly the last time i might see them again.
note the 'possibly'.
i hope there will still be class outings? because i've really come to like my class.
i suppose that's the most excruciating part- saying goodbye.
i cannot comprehend why this is only a part of my life that i still have miles and miles to walk through.
suddenly, i sort of wish that i will never grow up.
Ecstasy is all you need
Living in the big machine now,
Oh you’re so vain,
Now your world is way too fast,
Nothing’s real and nothing lasts,
And I’m aware
I’m in love but you don’t care.
Turn your anger into lust,
I’m still here but you don’t trust at all,
And I’ll be waiting,
Love and sex and loneliness,
Take what’s yours and leave the rest,
So I'll survive,
God it’s good to be alive.
I’m torn in pieces,
I’m blind and waiting for
My heart is reeling,
I’m blind and waiting for you.
Still in love with all your sins,
Where you stop and I begin, and I’ll
I’ll be waiting,
Living like a house on fire,
What you fear is your desire,
It’s hard to deal,
I still love the way you feel.
Now this angry little girl,
Drowning in this petty world,
And I'm who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills,
That’s what makes you beautiful,
You’re all or not,
I don’t need what you ain’t got.
I’m blind and waiting for you,
I’m blind and waiting for you,
No I can’t believe its coming true,
God its good to be alive and I’m still here waiting for you,
No I can’t believe its coming true,
I’m blind and waiting for you.

i guess i'll just have to try harder.
oh and, did i mention i hate all those huge mouth ulcers?
they hurt and cause you to feel ugly.
today wasn't exactly fantastic, other than going shopping with jin li. school was kind of a long day, espcially when the only lesson i went to was PE.
oh, and all the thin girls on Miss Singapore on tv made me feel a whole lot better.
i just have this bad feeling.

so, yeap, i'm in the SA library now, and it seems like everybody in the world has a blog.
well, at least within the library.
anyhow, today was sorta boring. justin was like, "so you come to school for what??!!"
hahaha.
then the nostalgia sets in.
i'm just getting all depressed and moody and doggy-eyed.
i'm gonna miss ponning maths lesson and being part of the Gallery Gang. even our Gallery Gang leader is staying on. he got 9 points.
suddenly, i don't have a lot to talk about.
it's interesting watching the librarian wrap books. she does it ever so carefully, making sure that the clear plastic fits perfectly on the surface, like that of a tight-fit shirt.
is it necessary to be so meticulate?
well, i have no idea where my life is going to head now. everything is up to God. imagine if i'm not a Christian, then my head will definitely be spinning in circles. it is so tiring to depend on myself all the time. it's worse when you come to stages in life where you simply have no control, and all you can do is grit your teeth and hope you don't fall too hard, because you know you haven't really got somebody who's there to catch you. someone who doesnt mind that his or her arms are gonna break because you're too heavy, or who isn't so caught up with his or her own life to thoroughly give you a thought. not that it's their fault of course. everybody has their own life to take care of, and that's when you know you should be doing the same thing. only that life can just screw you right in the arse whenever it feels like it.
so, i'm really thankful that God is there for me. :)

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
yoo-hooo
don't i love the sea!
windsurfing was SO fun. you cannot imagine the amount of satisfaction you get when you finally stand up on the board, hands and feet all in the right positions, and your instructor tells you, "you're moving!"
AHHH!!! so fun so fun!!
even though i didn't move very far, but still, it was like my first lesson.
:D
windsurfing is worth a gazillion utils!!! (for those who know economics :P)
tml i'm going back to SA. possibly my last week of going back there...
i'm really gonna miss all the new friends i made.
or the roti prata seller who is rumoured to not wash hands after visiting the toilet.
i feel sad now.
Someday,
When my life has passed me by
I lay around and wonder why you were always there for me
One way,
In the eyes of a passerby
I look around for another try
And fade away

over-confidence?
wah. it has been a long Sanctification Week at church, but totally worth the butt aches. :)
anyhow, went for the Tablenacle experience this morning. it was awesome. can you imagine how it must have been like dunno how many thousands of years ago?
i am so excited about tml's windsurfing course. i just hope i don't drown or something. what if my life jacket has a hole?!
as for my JAE application, well it has came through (thank goodness). it hasn't cocked up so far. as long as i can get into mass comm (i'm really praying hard that all the 9 pointers (a.k.a. like half the SA population) all stay in jc), me and mich gonna go np together. yay!
and we gonna dye our hair together. double yay!
:D
who else here going np??! leave a note and scream. ;)

irritated.
i'm so frustrated by the huge bunch of irritating expatriate buggers at the unit next to mine.
go get drunk elsewhere man! and goodness to their racist jokes.
so, yups. it's 0115, aka the wee hours of the morning, aka sleeping time for most people (well other me also i suppose), aka time to shut up.
ARGH. i feel like just yelling across, but i'm too civilised to do that.
oh and i'm back to the meteor garden routine. i have begun watching it again. since i'm not going back to jc, i have to find a job or i'll just drown my sorrows doing stupid things like developing into a giant potato and sinking the couch as i pour over endless, meaningless teenage taiwanese serials.
i might as well use my high potential energy for something more tedious.
yeap. the fats are coming back.
but it's okay, cuz even though dave says every boy in the world will care when they see a fat girl, i will never fall for superficial, shallow boys, even if they bear the greatest resemblance to my josh harnett!
so who gives a fart about fats?
at least i don't, not at the moment.
so much for a convincing show. :(
the race against calorie burning starts the day after tomorrow of the tomorrow a decade later.

haha.
i just sent in this whiny email to the Straits Times Forum to complain about the stupid JIS.
i am appalled !
how can my future be screwed up simply because a stupid page refuses to load???
argh.
pissed pissed.
not everybody has the endurance to wake up early in the morning to sign up you know.
so much for governmental help. eeeeeee.
oh wait. that might get me into a lawsuit for slander. will it?
hmm.

what you are
what do you want of me?
sometimes i just really wanna ask myself that question.
anyway, i went down to np and applied for the course.
and bo bo went too! haha. den we had to fill in the application form which was full of codes that you got to look up (ok so the codes were on the next page and i was just too blind to see it), and we had to write in less than 100 words why we wanted to enter mass comm and why we should be selected. almost got a mental block on that. been forever since i wrote sth so long. haha.
well, i'm really putting my whole self into tis mass comm route already, because i totally screwed up my jc choices. i put business studies and banking and chem engine somewhere at the back. it's by faith this time. purely.
i really dont wanna leave my sa friends. then again, when it comes to weighing the future...
oh, and everybody in my CG did better than me. except for justin. fellow new towner. haha.
here i am, wasting my night away, watching cartoons.
and since im leaving sa, i guess it's time to say goodbye to actually playing soccer.
that's the saddest part cuz i've come to like the rough sport. :(
don't do things that you'll regret, that's what they always say.
well, if you dont do things that you'll regret, then do what?
do stuff you'll never regret about?
if only life allows such naive thinking.
how i wish im one of those ignorant sunny girls.
psst.
im at the part of the rollercoaster where im holding my breath, waiting to scream as i prepare myself to go head first down the slope, with every possible intention of grabbing on to the safety rail since i would most probably fall off.
it's amazing how much thought the human mind can possess in a split second.
ciao.

empty thoughts.
so, yup.
im planning to put mass comm as my first choice in JAE, den go down tml to apply for SAE. think it's safer to apply both ways, although i have no idea how to compete with like 60000 students.
all i know is that hordes of people are applying for mass comm, so, i don't really have the guts to contemplate my chances.
i did reasonably well with 12 points. though, of course, there is always the 'i-can-do-better' mentality. then my mum was telling me abt how my relative was being quite bee-yatch and all (not her exact words of course) about my results. like, because my dad's dead so we dont belong to the family so its not okay for me to do well and for my cousin to not do so well or something.
but then again that's just how my mum feels.
yup, the JAE website is sorta stuck. it's half an hour gone and i'm still not in.
well, what can i say?
oh btw, the NAVY sent me a letter. hahaha. asking me to work and study at the same time. work for them, that is. it's actually quite attractive cuz you get 1000 dollars allowance every month and they pay fully for your poly education. plus there is a job guarantee, only that you might not really like your job at the end.
i'm praying and fasting hard that i can get into mass comm. 200 places. and i heard that there were 3000 applicants last year. can you imagine how many applicants there will be this year? 10000?
oh btw, here's a nice song:
Trust, Sixpence None the Richer
Trust in the Lord
With all your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
In all of your ways acknowledge Him
And He will make your path straight
Don't worry about tomorrow
He's got it under control
Just trust in the Lord
With all your heart
And he will carry you through
Lord, sometimes it gets so tough
To keep my eyes on You, when things are going rough
But then I turn my eyes up to the sky
And I hear Your voice
It says to me
Trust in the Lord
With all your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
In all of your ways acknowledge Him
And He will make your path straight
Don't worry about tomorrow
He's got it under control
Just trust in the Lord
With all your heart
And he will carry you through
And He will carry you through
