Every time i read news about natural disaster or freak accidents, i always think "oh my gosh that's terrible" but that only last for the span of the news report. i somehow find myself going back to my own life not thinking much about it.

but this time, when i saw the news of the dragon boat tragedy, it just got to me. maybe because they are friends of the people around me? it's like everywhere you go, you hear people talking about how they know them and how worried they are. i just find myself constantly thinking about it. and i actually cried when i read the reports. you just keep thinking you really never know what is going to happen. in that particular moment, you just can't help mourning the loss as if you really know them. if i can't help feeling this way, i can only imagine the pain that friends and relatives of the rowers feel.

"That evening, when the team cleared the bus of their belongings, Mr Tan said he saw a shoebag lying in a corner by a seat.

It belonged to Mr Chee Wei Cheng, 20, a close friend who drowned.

Mr Tan hugged Mr Chee's shoebag to sleep that night.

But waking up in tears later, he said: 'I dreamt of Wei Cheng, he came to me and told me not to wait anymore.

'He said goodbye.' "


i survived THREE papers today.
when shiying asked me how i celebrated this remarkable survival,
i told her that i bought fast food. haha

i can't believe i finished studying for the three papers in two days!
and all three papers involved such diverse topics:
project management, statistics and geography.

while studying intensively for this horrible day, i kept having headaches.
my brain felt all swishy washy(if that make sense, which i guess not haha)
i told xinyu that it must be due to the fact that i have not been using my brain at all for the whole semester and now suddenly i was placed in a situation where i had to cram a whole semester of work.

i mean i was reading notes that i was only seeing for the first time!

qiling thinks i need counseling because i seem to be always studying at the last last minute.
but at least i slept early before the exams this time. i used to study through the night and sleep one or two hours before heading for exams. which unarguably is stupid cause my mind would just be blank when i see the test paper.

so this time, my mind was clear, and i really could think, so you could say that the papers were relatively ok for me. but i am still prepared for the worst though haha

i really felt very happy today. one paper after another, i just found myself smiling (more so as the day progressed). jinglin misunderstood this as the "i think i just aced the paper" smile. but rather it was more of a "i am so happy this is over and i don't care what i get" smile:D

my geography seniors were so amazed that i was still going strong after taking 2 papers in the morning and afternoon. they said i must be the only crazy year one with three papers in one day. oh man haha i think they were sort of waiting for me to crawl in and grumble that i was dying.

last paper next tues. i have one week to study. i will start tomorrow i promise. no last minute this time:)


"Like do you know she has six smiles? One when something really makes her laugh. One when she's making plans. One when she is laughing out of politeness. One when she is uncomfortable. One when she is making fun of herself. And one when... she's talking about her friends."


"You have five smiles Pete. One when you think someone's an idiot. One when you think someone's REALLY an idiot. One when you're singing to Barry White. One when you're getting all dressed up. And one when you're looking at me. "

go ahead guess the movie:)

Message:	Yanru wants to brighten your day with a smile. Check out Yanru's profile and send a reply. A message from Yanru: yo babe! i wan to get ur attention so i send u tis smile. u so pretty. how r u? i want to noe u. contact mi okie? i wait for u at ur skool grandstand at 3.40pm tis thurs. dun c u i dun leave. after tat we go dinner at sum place nearby. muz come n find mi okie? i dun wear specs, got ears got mouth got nose got eyes got hair. v easy to c one. muz come arh! c u on thurs! ;) a lot of <3, chao ah beng, a.k.a CAB. ps. call mi CAB. i lik tis name, v nice.

hahaha yanru do you remember this? ;) your role-playing is excellent!




i just read yanru's blog and i got such a shock. is it the season for primary school friends to get back in touch with one other? haha i got a call from kian meng just yesterday. he called me from camp and told me that another old friend of ours wanted to catch up with me(but let's not go there because the situation is just too weird really). we gossiped about old friends and complained about how we never had any class outings. honestly, it felt really good to be able to talk to him again. i still can't believe that we keep talking about meeting up, but over the years we just couldn't find the time. i think we are just too lazy. i mean he lives only 5 minutes (or less if you run) away!

after i hung up with him( cause his free time was over ), i sat there smiling, because it's always nice to hear from an old friend, especially when you least expect it.

and so i decided to spread this joy by calling one of my oldest friend ever(old not in terms of their age but the span of our friendship!). yes that's you liwen haha:) i think i talked to her for ages, and towards the end of our conversation we talked about having a 6I class gathering. and she asked me a really good question, " who would you want to meet the most? " that question got me stumped. i guess i would want to meet every single one of my crushes in the past! hahaha it's quite hard for me to choose just one cause i had so many! and no i am not going to name them. it's not like i am still interested in them or anything. i would just like to see how they turned out you know;)

i can't really describe how i feel after all this walking down memory lane talks. it's like i am contented and relieved that it's over. but at the same time, i secretly harbour a wish that things could have just stayed that way. you know when we were childish, when the only things that matter were what you wanted to buy from the bookshop during recess time, playing hopscotch or five stones or the blind mice and finishing all your homework BEFORE dinnertime.

which brings me to another thing!
i was chatting online with wanzi yesterday(gosh i seem to be doing everything but studying ay?) and we were talking about acting cute or something. she was talking about how she can act cute even when there's nobody around. how does she do that you ask? well you know like jumping on beds? she does that quite often when she's alone. then after that she would be thinking why she act cute but she came to a conclusion that she's not acting, she IS cute. and that's not all. she loves to smile at the herself in the mirror(which i think i am guilty of as well, don't laugh. i am sure you do that as well! this is one of those things no one admit but they do it anyway)i think that actually she's not acting. instead, she's actually being herself. acting only occurs when we are in the presence of others. this is because we have some innate need to give people a good impression of us, or rather we try our very best to not let the other person think we are some walking mental case, so we keep our true self hidden. that true inner self only comes out when we are alone or when we are with close friends that we are comfortable with. and that is only because we know that no matter what stupid things we do, they would still be our friends. in fact they embrace us for all the nonsense that we throw at them.

so i say, surround yourself with the best friends you could get comfortable with, because that's when you can be the inner kid you always are!
since i have the most awesome friends i could ever ask for, i am always childish (if you frown at this and disagree then obviously you are not close enough to me to know my true inner self so try harder haha)

and for that, i am thankful:)





i find this hilarious. but sadly it's quite true. oh poop.
facebook is a distraction!!


i find driving a great way to escape from life and whatever. i especially love to drive around aimlessly with the radio on full blast. like whenever i have nothing better to do, i would just get my car keys and drive somewhere, anywhere, doesn't matter. this i know is very much frowned upon by my dad (he pays for the petrol so he's just bias)

i find male drivers very very irritating. especially those who cannot stop staring at me? like ok i am a female driver. i am young. i look like a reckless driver. so? staring is rude and i am no zoo animal. has it ever occurred to them that i am aware of them staring and just maybe i might be uncomfortable with that? and doesn't it get you a little worried that they would stare too long and drive straight into a road sign or something. haha that would be funny. ok evil thought go away.

so anyway i was out driving around two weeks ago(it was one of those i don't want to go home days, i decided to pop by piaky and xinying's room!
i caught them at a bad bad time because they were studying. haha but after i arrived, they could study no more. i am a great distraction!

piaky went all stylo-milo by getting herself a macbook! so i had good old fun playing with the in built camera.














hahaha so entertaining :D i miss them already.

i realise i watched super alot of movies for the past few weeks!
resident evil? checked
stardust? checked
bee movie? checked
game plan? checked

next up enchanted!

by the way i love this:



everybody's hounding at me to study so i shall go study now.

CHRISTMAS'S COMING:)))

i saw pa u l tw o hil l last saturday! :D made jason walk back with me to listen to him sing. he (paul not jason) was performing in front of centrepoint! yay i still think he rocks, nothing wrong with that (stares at whoever that rolled his/her eyes) :)

am hating the fact that someone still gets to me. but that's just a very trivial complaint. yea it is. of course it is. (if i sound like i am trying to convince myself? that's because i am)

cindy's coming back from Boston on 22nd dec! :)

have a good feeling about December. now i just have to get through the November exam frenzy.

my phone is back, alive and kicking. no more spasms very good. it's a miracle really. i vow never to attempt drying it with a hair-dryer switched on at full blast.

hello! i know i have not been updating. i blame it on my lazy nature which i inherited from the head pig(my dad).

anyway random activities.
super long post ahead.

JJQCA sleepover sometime during Halloween i think. the plan was to have a birthday surprise for jinjen. so qiling was supposed to meet me at jurong point to buy something for jin jen but she actually fell asleep?? luckily i dragged khairi along and we bought a cake.
while waiting for jaslyn and the birthday girl to come, the three of us started playing with makeup. actually they were just desperate attempts to make khairi look Gothic enough for the Halloween party at zouk which he was going for after our surprise.

drawing (brown) eyeliner for khairi which is quite stupid cause you can't see the eyeliner at all. but there's nothing i can do since qiling has no black eyeliner.


khairi's lining qiling's eyes to make her eyes look bigger. but he ended up drawing eyebags for qiling haha don't ask me how he managed to do that.




i think they look pretty scary here.




removing the makeup.


when jaslyn finally arrived, we thought she was jinjen and we panicked. so the three of us were scurrying around trying to get the cake out, light the candles and get the camera. obviously by the time, we opened the door, the candles were like half-burnt and jaslyn greeted us instead of jinjen. which is pretty funny and anti-climatic.

then jinjen finally arrived!


happy 19th birthday jin jen! :)

after the surprise, it was madness as usual. did the jjqca sleepover tradition of hanging upside down on qiling's sofa haha remember the previous sleepover?








and then we decided to let khairi try it. because it would be weird for him to do it alone, we asked qiling's brother jia en to do it with khairi. when we called the unsuspecting jia en out of his room, he honestly thought we were going to ask him to take photos for us. boy was he so wrong. since jia en doesn't know what to do, we decided to do a short demo. jia en managed to escape at some point during our demo though haha.






group photos!

we forced him to smile after that photo. afterall he should be feeling pretty lucky to have four girls crowding around him right? say yes.




khairi had to leave (abandoning us for prettier girls at zouk ay?) so after driving him to yew tee mrt station, qiling went in search of sparklers! and she managed to find a shop selling sparklers!

qiling forced jia en to go down with us, not because she wants him to join in the fun but rather we needed a photographer to capture our every move.

and the stupid thing was that only after we walked all the way down to one corner of the condominium,that qiling realised that we didn't take the lighter down with us. what can we do with sparklers that are not lighted up?? so jia en was given the task of going all the way back to take the lighter haha. while waiting, we took photos of course.









after like 1 or 2 sparklers each, we got bored. but we realised we still had alot more left. so jia en was finally allowed to play with one or two sparklers. haha i know we are damn mean.



would you just look at qiling in all the following pictures?






qiling and jaslyn fighting (as usual). i was visibly overwhelmed by the two of them(as usual). jin jen is indifferent to all three of us (as usual). hahaha






wanted to push qiling into the pool but in the end, no one dared to do it (not even her brother)




with friends like them, i know my life is good :)
