It's finally friday! This week's really busy; especially with the SHSC campaigning. But I guess I'm having quite a bit of fun! :) It's just that I don't like strong competition; I think it's kind of scary. Like your fellow peers suddenly turn colder to you (unlike their natural selves) just because both of you are running for SHSC. I guess it's inevitable; but I'm just going to stay the way I am, work hard with neep and hope for the best! Awwww do vote for me! :D
Handed out our intro+suggestion sheets today. Omg I worked till 1am trying to make the perfect handout yesterday! I hope people noticed the stack of handouts I left at the magazine shelf in the canteen today, and picked them up.
School arranged for CLL/ CSC/ CL people to watch Red Cliff II today. It was quite nice! But I kind of dozed off at the front part, because the plot was progressing too slowly and tiredness overcame me. I like Takeshi! :D His character as Zhuge Liang is super cute. He knows a bit of everything! And Lin Chih-ling is really pretty hahaha.
Omg Engwah cinema @ Suntec actually had a sign for DHS! We're so 大牌hehe.
After the movie Simin introduced me to Soupalicious for dinner! :D It's supposed to be a healthy place to dine in. Here's my ham sandwich with macaroni. I think the bread looks like a soft biscuit!
Pumpkin soup! I wanted to order their broccoli soup, but it was sold out! :( It was supposed to be their recommended healthy soup heh.
I still have dance tomorrow! And I need to visit relatives at night too. I'm feeling really really sleepy. Good night! :D
Want to find out what 'ET' stands for? Stay tuned, and vote for us! All the best for all candidates! :DYay vote for NEEPians! :D NicoleElaineElizabethPuimun.
Campaigning is fun~
Visited my aunt's house tonight. My cousin sharon gave me a huge pile of GP notes from some good JCs! :) There's a couple of econs and maths guide books too. I went home feeling so happy (partially because I'd received quite a bit of angbao money till now) and started camwhoring in front of my notebook! Hahaha it's actually the first time I used my webcam. Don't mind me; this post's gonna be spammed with pictures of my face! :D
I realised that experimenting with my webcam is fun. Hahaha okay I think I'll just put these few up. Good night! :D
I haven't blogged for quite awhile!
The previous week has been a really busy week, with lots of things happening. Like my bsp buddy. I just sent her off last friday, and had this heavy load of responsibility lifted off me, somehow. I guess I've had quite a bit of fun with her, and she helped me with my CLEP scholarship interview! Yeah, and speaking of my interview, I personally think I did well! Getting the scholarship's another thing, but I'm pretty happy with my performance that day. :D
Omg I signed up for SHSC Campaigning! Hahaha I didn't really think of signing up initially, but I decided to in the end with just one reason- to accompany liz, who signed up on her own and wanted someone to campaign with her. I'm so low profile, I think hardly anyone knows me! Perhaps the UG gigantic poster would help a bit, but still. Anyway, I'm going to have fun campaigning, because I'm so not going to get all stressed trying to squeeze into one of the SC slots for BENNU, but I don't mind and will work hard if I do get a place though! :) And I have a great group consisting of nicole lee, puimun and liz! VOTE FOR US! :D
Shien came to my house yesterday and we chiong-ed our bsp lunwen! Yay yay it's finally done!
I found a few more photos to upload:
Group photo at the top of the merlion!
On board the bus to the ZOO.
Wooooo~ Don't I look scary in the background? Hehe.
Happy chinese new year everyone! :D
We're going to the ZOO~
My china buddy arrived yesterday night, and the school arranged a trip for all of us to the zoo and night safari today. Her name's Chen Si Si. A bit softspoken, but quite nice! :) Met up with lee simin, angelina and cuiting for lunch at singpost. I brought her to KFC and she kind of promoted the shrooms burger wow! meal to her friends after that! My good recommendation hee. Anyway she wants to go eat KFC again tomorrow, but I don't think I'll be eating with her 'cos I'll die of fats if this continues. I had lunch at waffle factory with simin and angelina, while cuiting helped us take care of our buddies.
I felt like a tourist today, taking so many pictures of the animals! I haven't been to the zoo for years. And this is probably my second trip to the night safari. The animals are cute! :D
My buddy and I at Zheng Xin Yuan.
Angelina, cuiting and me!
Candid shot of the side views of me and my buddy. I realise I've never taken a side view shot before.
Another photo of me and my buddy! She says she can't smile, or else her eyes cannot be seen. XD
Angelina, my buddy and cuiting, at Ben&Jerry's.
Polar bear with fishy! Omg it's super cute. :D And it's really huge!
Ooh the whole family of otters (I think)!
Dinner at the Ulu Ulu Restaurant in Night Safari. BUFFET!
This is my first serving of food. O.O There was desert, soup and all!
A photo at an ulu side of the Ulu Ulu Restaurant.
I practised my zipai skills with cuiting when we got bored at the night safari! My buddy ran off with lichang's buddy during the free and easy time, so I hung out with my mates.Tomorrow we're going to bugis for lunch and shop! I need to run some errands there, so I guess I'll leave her to play with lichang's buddy for a bit. Tired!
SENIOR HIGH ORIENTATION '09 was great! :D
I spent this 5 day 2 night camp with my new class 5C12, mostly with my OG, B3: Lee Simin, Nicole Tan, Gloria, Jesmine, Lin Yun and Jun Jie. There were our direct year 6 seniors who joined us for the first 3 days too, Grace, (another) Nicole Tan and a couple of guys, Jason and Keith. Our dear OGLs are Sieu Ping and Hong Yi! Hahaha, I have to say, we're a really peaceful group. But we get along fine just the way it is! :) We only started getting noisy on the second last day, and it was a nice surprise for our OGLs I guess. We love to gossip about Jun Jie's 'girlfriends'! And I'm known to my OG as the super blur girl hahaha. I can't help it! XD
Omg I had a lot of silly moments in this camp. There's this concentration game I played with my OG, and I kept losing 'cos my reaction was too slow. In this game, we have to choose an animal and add an action to it. Mine's the rabbit! :D So that day after lunch at Kallang Riverside Park we were playing it and I lost 3 times, so I had to do a forfeit, which was to run around 3 coconut trees! Gee that was embarrassing haha. XD Fourth day morning I was super sleepy because I only had 3 hours of sleep the previous night, and I was in drowsy state. The first funny thing I remembered doing that day was calling Jun Jie 'Zhi Jie'. I have no idea why I called him that! But my mind was working slower than usual that day.
Third day night we had nightwalk! Cluedo, actually. We were supposed to find the murderer of Joy. I was in the same group as Yijie, and was reminded of our std one times when we paired up to go for our nightwalk. I was totally freaked out by the people with ghostly makeup! There was this station at the science lab where we could only enter the room in pairs, and I went in with Yijie and there were 3 scary looking people inside. One was waiting prominently at the entrance at the room for us, one jumped out beside her from behind the corner of the wall and scared us, and the other one jumped out of the cupboard when we opened it, in the search for our chicken head. We were supposed to look for a chicken thigh and chicken head, and it could be anywhere in the room. Omg I'm super glad I didn't wear my specs for that station! When we were halfway searching for the items one of the ghostly SMs threw a fake girl's head a.k.a 'roast chicken' at us! Yeah, I mistook the paper-made girl's head as for roast chicken 'cos of my poor eyesight! I only found out later when I was discussing about the station with Yijie, and I freaked out when I realised it was a 'girl's head' which was thrown at us instead of a roast chicken. I would've been really really freaked out if I saw the thing as a girl's head when I was doing the task!
I liked the puzzle game though. We had to walk through 3 connecting classrooms blindfolded in the dark and find a puzzle piece, overcome the obstacles and get out of the room. I was pretty much disturbed by people who were ticking me with the broom and blowing into my ear, but it's a very fun experience! :D And I knew I was safe since my OGL would guide me if I really walked out-of-direction.
Fourth day night I was asked to get our OG's candle lighted from Mabel's during the SH initiation, and I had to run back and forth three times for the candle to remain lighted all the way to my OG! I think I have no affinity with candles haha. There wasn't even any wind! And I didn't know that I can't hold a candle straight up when it's lighted, 'cos the wax would drip on me. Well... I've never really lighted a candle or held a lighted candle myself before! XD Oh and when I had to light my own tealight I had trouble doing that too. I was very careful with it for fear that the wax would drip on me, but when I was about to walk to the spot where I was supposed to place the tealight the candle flame extinguished on its own again. And the hot wax dripped on me. I was caught by surprise and dropped my tealight, and left a puddle of wax on the floor, whoops. Xingqi was passing by and he helped me scrape the puddle while I concentrated on getting my tealight lighted and having it placed on where it's supposed to be. Sorry for the trouble, and thank you! :)
I love the Algorithm dance! :D It's super cute hehe. It consists of 8 steps: bend down and stretch your hands out front, bend backwards, turn behind and bow to the person behind you, look to your right, bend and swim, pick up litter, pump energy, and PEW PEW! It's a really fun mass dance. I shall change my blog song to the Algorithm dance song sometime.
Photos! Credits to Simin and her camera. :)
Camwhoring after lunch @ Kallang Riverside Park! :D We were teaching Jun Jie how to camwhore. This is his first attempt, and he kind of failed, 'cos he didn't capture himself! Hehe.
Camwhoring in class after we bathed. :D
Fourth day evening, when we were waiting for finale night to start.
Tealights! They lighted up very nicely in the dark hall in the form of 'I heart SH', but I had a lot of trouble with them haha. XD
BENNU torches lighting up in the night sky.
B3 Group photo! :D
Yay BENNU won 1st RUNNER UP for orientation! :D I love my house. The colour's pretty, and the people in there are nice!
BENNU BENNU BENNU BENNU aiyayaya~I have to pick up my china buddy at the airport soon. 7.30pm. Looking forward to seeing her; I hope she's nice! I left for Singapore early during BSP trip to take my jap Os, so I didn't get to see her/ stay at her house. Sigh I didn't manage to get any sleep today afternoon! I'm feeling sleepy all over again! XD
We started out playing taboo. Omg the cards are full of random words! I normally get through blurting out words I feel are linked to the word which I can mention. Like one word was "organic", I blurted out "vegetables" and "healthy". Then the pizza we ordered came and we watched tv while eating. Some cable tv channel was playing a repeated movie which I've seen a few times on channel 8. Direct translation of the movie title's "I can see ghosts with my left eye". I never liked ghost movies, but this is one sweet ghost movie which left quite a bit of impression on me. The ending was touching! ^^ The person you love has always been beside you, protecting you silently. Just like a guardian angel! But in the case of this movie it's a guardian ghost. But it's just as romantic! :) NC'07 outing was fun! :D
Finally a full nc outing. Steffi, peirong, candice, me and xunlin, with mentors mdm huiru, sir ky and mdm xinying. The original venue was supposed to be at downtown east, but mdm huiru sprained her ankle last minute, so the whole team decided to go to her house since she has trouble moving around. Hope she gets well soon!
Sir ky had a diamond 3. And everyone was persuading him not to change his card. I think we weren't convincing enough, because he finally decided to change his card.
He put down and looked at his card. "Asshole!"- (I think he exclaimed this because he realised he almost fell for our trick of not changing his card), and grabbed the next card from the deck and promptly put it up on his forehead.
Everyone burst out laughing. Real hard.
Omg the card was the exact same one as the one he wanted to change! DIAMOND 3! Hahaha that was really very much of a coincidence, when there were 2 decks in the whole pile of cards. We couldn't help it; I think he was very happy that he changed his card and didn't listen to us, so he thought he would've gotten a better card. And when it was time for us to open our cards we laughed even harder. :D
Played more games with poker cards and started gossiping. Hahaha yeah we went round the team and realised that peirong is very clean! I really cannot think of any gossip related to her eh. Squeezed some juicy information out of candice, mdm huiru and mdm xinying!
I just watched the alternative ending of "The Little Nonya". The 3 minute shot was more of an explanation of the original ending! Nothing really different. Chengxi and yueniang still didn't end up together. No kissing scene! XD Oh well, the hopeless romantic nature in me understands that this is an expected ending in their era. At least they love each other!
Orientation's tomorrow, and I have to get to school early... I'm feeling sleepy~ Good night! :)
Yay MOE mailed me a letter to inform me that I was shortlisted for CLEP scholarship! :D I shall start preparing now, like read the ancient chinese novels (summaries) or something. I will not go unprepared like my BSP scholarship 2 years ago! Which I flopped, because I tried to get out of questions I don't know by smiling. XD I must treasure the chance this time!
I realise I do the same things when I go online! Sign in on msn, check my mail, blog, facebook, blogshop. I feel my online social network booming haha. Because I check friend-making websites more often during the holidays, and start accepting invites. I bloghop too; after I've done the above mentioned and still have a lot of time. It's interesting to check out new blogs sometimes. I found another dunmanian who lives near me! Hahaha. Commonwealth essay and lunwen are not on my what-to-do-online list! And so I keep forgetting to do them. Essay's almost done, but there's still a pretty long way to go for lunwen! Oops.
I'm going to wiki Water Margin for its summary now. Byebye!
Today is the long-awaited PAYDAY! :D
Rushed down after modern dance practice in school, which ended late again. -.- But I like the new dance deng laoshi is choreographing though! Anyway, I reached cityhall mrt and was about to rush off into citylink mall when I saw my colleagues standing at the side. I didn't wear my contacts again so I didn't see them before I got closer. Sometimes I wonder how many people I missed waving at me from afar and I ignored them because I didn't see them haha. XD My eyesight is THAT bad! Yay it was nice to see them again! :D Cempaka (and her boyfriend hehe), Gladys, Wani, Ah Beng Edison and Said. Funny bunch of people; all older than me. So I waited with them and when everyone was there we walked to suntec city royce chocs store together. It didn't feel so long when you have people walking with you. :)
We were supposed to collect our pay at 1pm, and all of us were pretty late haha. It didn't really matter though. We went into the store and looked around. Oh the christmas collection tin is having a 20% discount! :D Hahaha, I knew it. Yasser told me there wouldn't be any discounts to clear stocks when I asked him! I felt so tempted to get the assortment tin because it's really pretty, and I like the choc products inside, but I decided not to in the end. I've been eating too many chocs these few days haha.
I earned $640.50! :) Hahaha not bad right. Although it didn't feel like it's alot compared to Cempaka and Said's $1000++, but they worked longer after all. I only worked for like, 9+ days because of my dance commitments and the sj dinner. Mum's gonna open a bank account for me so I can store the money in and have my own ATM card! :D But there're not many chances to go to the bank when school's taking up my weekdays and the bank closes at 1.30pm on saturdays, and that wouldn't work out too, 'cos I think there's dance every saturday or something. Ahhhh I want my bank account!
I feel rich. And I'm not going to go on a shopping spree or something! I shall be good and start saving up. Okay, perhaps an occasional splurge on something I really really like, but I'm going to prove to my parents that I'm going to handle my NETS card well! Like I won't empty my bank account or something, haha. ^^
Orientation's next week. And I think I'm looking forward to it 'cos my seniors made it sound like it's going to be quite fun? :) It gives me about one more week(end) to finish my bsp lunwen and gp essay too!
Looking forward to nc'07 outing tomorrow too! Haven't met up as a whole team since, a couple of years ago? XD Awww. It's the last day of my sec4 holidays already...
This post is spammed with pictures of food. :D
My godiva bunny in a bumblebee halloween costume is cute! ^^
Helped out in year 3 orientation today. I was at the water bombs station, but I didn't get wet at all! Surprisingly. But after all I didn't attack anyone so actually there shouldn't be much reason for the year 3s to want to bomb me haha. Haihua got pretty wet though! Because she kept bombing the players hahaha. XD She knows them though! And I realised people don't know where's our school's jisilou, and mistook it for zhenxinyuan! I didn't know initially myself too, but I'd found out that it's our junior high block. I think the chinese names in our school confuse people, especially people like liz heh.
After that I left school with liz, and decided to share a cab with sean, he went home while we travelled to bugis. To meet our respective friends. Yeah we didn't go shopping together this time! Hahaha. But the cab ride was pretty fast so we had quite a lot of time to ourselves before meeting our respective friends. Walked round the whole bugis junction before I left to meet mr jj. But after that she and chester decided to eat at soup spoon too! Chester was really late I guess, 'cos we were almost finished with our lunch when they came in. Wanted to try tokyo chicken soup, but it ran out, so I decided to try the mushroom soup instead. Ooh it's really mushroomy! It's full of mushroom chunks inside haha. Thick and warm. Nice nice. :D
Thick and creamy mushroom soup!
Received more godiva chocs today too. The truffles are good! My family even has a share of my gifts haha. As in, a pack of chocolates are for them.
Godiva's packaging is pretty. :)
My yummy Godiva truffles!
My family's share of chocolates. Mr JJ's really nice hahaha. ^^
I'm indulging in a lot of western treats these few days! XD Diet plan's failed again, but with no regrets actually. :)
Ate at Eighteen Chefs at Simei after Year 4 Orientation with PMZ, recommended by her so strongly and with such attractive description that I was tempted by her. Omg it's really good! I had baked rice with baked beans, vegetarian and chicken slices in tomato sauce (you get to choose your sauces and toppings). We paid a weekday student price of $7.15 after GST and had a nice meal of a main, drink and icecream! Sinfully good heehee.
This is baked herb fillet from Manhatten Fish Market! Lunch with mum and bro last sunday. Yes, the greenish thing in the plate's the fish. I know it doesn't look appetizing, but it's good! ^^ I like to pick weird dishes off western menus 'cos I always try to get healthier choices. And apparently healthier food always don't look so good! XD My mum and bro, of course, picked the signature fish&chips haha.
Cream of mushroom! It's nice, but I still like cream of brocolli the best. :D And I realised the colour of this mushroom soup is much lighter than the one in soupspoon haha.Soup of that day! Chicken noodle soup.
My delifrance meal, lunch with angelina after dance one day! Yes, another supposedly healthy western meal. Sandwiches! With corn soup, hehe.
Spageddies' pizza! Liz and I had this after homecoming celebrations on 2 jan. Affordable and good! 
Dance tomorrow, in the morning again! XD Hahaha not so bad la. I heard CCA orientation's tomorrow! Hope sj gets more new members hehe. :D I'm suddenly reminded of how I was doing CPR on the dummy on the table in the burning hot field just one year ago! Got myself very sunburnt, but earned alot of cute juniors, with everyone else's effort. Join sj people!
