TODAY...

There was NC today as per normal, and again... I WAS LATE.. I overslept. I was watching THE X FACTOR till midnight last night and i forgot to tell Grandma that I had NC today, so she didn't wake me up.

When i woke up today, i looked at the clock.. I kinda saw 845, but i spent another 1min staring at the clock and realised that it was 745. And i had to meet phyu at 730?! But she waited for me, haha.. THANKS PHYU! :) She always wait for me cause i'm never early.. A bad habit that needs to be kicked.

So we practiced and screwed up majorly for the rehearsal today.. GAH, so embarrassing.. But it's alright, Charlie, we're all in this together. And we went to 18 chefs for lunch and came back TO PRACTICE to chitchat.. Jov, Keethan, Chen, Phyu, Jia and I were chitchatting for like 3hrs and we didn't even practice at all. It was just amazing to laugh like how i used to in lower sec.. I've not laughed so hard this entire year, i dare say. Just having a moment to chillax and not stress over PDS was FUN!! :) And we prank called some guy, HAHA, so funny! YAY, i love today's chitchat.. THANKS JOV, KEETHAN, CHEN, PHYU & JIA!! :)

PHYU CAME!!

PHYU came to my house today since NCC starts at 3pm for us!! YAYY!! And we started to chiong our December Holiday Homework.. Woah, the first 1/2 hour was like 56782930942784567 times more productive than my entire day. I completed like ALL my bio worksheets and phyu completed like half of the thick stack of Amath.. Then we started to feel like we've done a lot, so we started to slack. But, we got motivation back soon after and continued the thick stack of undone homework. YAY!! Phyu finally came to my house, after so long of telling me she wants to come, she FINALLY CAME!! Haha, then Deborah called me and Phyu picked up. Deborah thought we had a sleepover, HAHAHA! :)

Then we headed to Clementi Mall to buy 2 bottles of turpentine and another 2 bottles of kerosine. Luckily the MRT staff didn't fine us $5000 for carrying flammable substances up onto the train. So we headed to school and the usual PDS.. I feel so proud of myself for at least trying to spin, although it was like SUPER FAILZ..

Kay, i loved today! Especially the morning.. Thanks Phyu for making my morning so productive and special. Loveya :)

And I found out that Kylie wasn't pissed at me. She was in fact on my side. THANKS KYLE!! And it was Rachel who was pissed at me cause I didn't help her set up. Just to let you know, I tried, I really did.. I arrived home past 12 midnight and I've still got to rush to school for DO, it wasn't easy and I'm really tired. I don't know why but Rachel is always pissed at me, and I think only Kylie will understand. Thanks for always being there for me and supporting me, Kyle, and helping me out when life gets tough although I know that being the AUSM isn't easy. Just that doing everything without your partner IS SO TOUGH. And honestly, that's what drives me forward to accomplish much more - that there are people who believe in me. And I'm quite used to Rachel getting pissed at me. I do every single thing from DO planning to Quest to Sec 1 orientation to banners and whatnots and all I get is rude remarks from my partner. She's always scolding me with vulgarities until I'm quite used to it. To be really honest, sometimes I do feel like giving up, to just let go. Every thing I do isn't good, I'm a failure. BUT I CAN'T!! Cause there's still Kylie who agrees with what I think and allows me to just go with whatever I've planned. I LOVE YOU KYLIE!! <33

I'm Back!

Hey! I'm back from the TEENS RETREAT 2012 to Gopeng! It was really fun!! We went there on the 14th of December nighttime to catch a coach..

On the way to the coach, i met Ruth.. She entertained me throughout the whole journey till we reached the coach place. Like through the customs and everything and she also helped me to carry my bag and kept looking out for me.. She was like a big sister to me and how i really long to have such a big sister. And she's 18 and 149cm, arhh, she's just so adorable! I LOVE YOU RUTH!! You're so optimistic about life and never say die. And we keep having the same thoughts! It's alright, great minds think alike, Ruth. Thanks for making my journey to the coach place so fun! Jiayou for your presentations and 2500 word essay!! :)

But sadly, we were in a different coach, so i sat with Nadine.. We had an awesome time of catchup during this whole retreat. I was in group 5 (aka MI6) and so was Ruth! Yay!! We went water caving, but Ruth had to give it a miss cause she had to do work and Nadine was in Batch 1, so i went with Violet! It was exhausting, tiring but a great experience!

D-group was a new experience, and i was really scared to be open.. Thanks for the encouragement and the hug, Ruth. You have no idea how much that really meant to me. And thanks to Hannah Jang for asking if i was alright. LOVEYA..Treasure hunt was fun too! But sadly, Ruth had to leave halfway as she had to get back to Singapore.. Bye Ruth, i miss you so much.. Good Luck for your presentations and essay. You can do it! :)

And i reached home about 1130pm yesterday and i was really tired and no mood to go for act today.. I woke up at like 1130+ today and headed to school for act (late as usual). Today was really fun, luckily i made it for Dirty Olympics.. Thanks, Karen, for wishing me luck. Just to tell you, I made it! :)

I don't really know if Kylie is pissed at me or not, but i really tried to help set up some things, just that Rachel said that there was nothing i could do, soyeah.. I also feel bad to make you do everything, just so you know. I'm sorry :(

PHUKET! :)

Ok, so yep, i went to Phuket. It's really a nice place to be in..

DAY 1 - 9th Dec
We arrived in Phuket in the afternoon and a driver was waiting for us at the airport. He picked us up and headed to Swiss Palm Resorts.. There, we checked in and headed out to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Food was good. Then we went for a walk through the area. There were many people offering massage services or food or taxis. I kinda pity the people who have to sit by the roadside to persuade people to use their services. We went to a FISH SPA. The fishes were humongous! We managed to bargain. It was like $8 for 30 mins.. I kinda wasted that money cause i didn't want to put my leg in and it was ticklish at first. Dad was kinda angry at me, though. I was so scared that i cried :( . All the angmohs who were visiting were like staring at me wailing like a baby. AHH, embarassing. Ok, but i managed to overcome my fears and eventually sticked my foot in. Woah, the fishes ate all the dead skin, now my feet feels much smoother. That was a frightful, yet exciting experience.

DAY 2 - 10th Dec
We went elephant riding in the morning. I was super scared of the elephant, but got used to it after a while. We went past many rubber trees, and woah, the rubber is real sticky.. Sitting on the elephant's back, the ride was bumpy, but the view was magnificent. Haha, i think it was the most expensive thing we went for, but ohwell, my bro's requested birthday gift..  Then we went to a T-shirt shop to get T-shirts. The driver recommended it as the shop was cheap and good, i guess. So yeah, i bought 1 shirt only cause that shop just pissed me off. Everything i wanted, they didn't have OR out of stock. Yet they claim that they print their own shirts and is a wholesaler whatever crap.. Lucky for me, the rest of the day was spent at another T-shirt shop. It was of good quality and much cheaper. And it has the designs i wanted! Yay! So i bought a total of 3 shirts..

DAY 3 - 11th Dec
Mum and Dad went out early in the morning to check out the beach and a massage. They came home slightly past noon to pick the sleeping 3 (bro, sis and i) up. We had lunch at a roadside stall, just to try thai noodles and rice. Then, we went to the beach for a leisure walk. The weather was just wonderful! No sun, light breezes, just great! The seashells at Phuket were so tiny and small, so i didn't bother to collect any.. There were fresh seafood available and my sis picked up many fresh shellfishes. I suggested having a beachside dinner, like patronizing the small pasamalam lookalike stalls by the beach. However, my suggestion was rejected by bro and sis as they wanted to go to a restaurant. But my insistence won, and we went to the small pasamalam lookalike stalls. Food was great and quite cheap too! Love the food at small beachside stalls. The drinks were like large slurpee size and only costs $0.80..

DAY 4 - 12th Dec
Flight was in the morning, so we had to wake up extremely early that day. Got to the airport and had breakfast at Burger King. We reached about 2+ in the afternoon. After a good lunch at SOUPerlicious, we headed for the MRT to get home. Aunt was at work, so she couldn't drive us home and the car was left at home as well. Yep, when i arrived home, i was just so exhausted, but had to keep myself awake to complete half of Chem TYS Holiday Homework.. I just realised that there is no time left! Completion of my holiday homework is kinda screwed right now and i don't really know what to do :(

So, Phuket is a wonderful place to be in. But the next time that i can ever travel would be after Os.. Can't wait for the excitingexhaustingadventurousandstressful 2013 to past.. I wanna get Os over and done with..

My day today

Today was another usual NC day. And, i woke up late. Don't blame me kay, I just got back from Phuket and was very tired, just that i couldn't really sleep last night.. INSOMNIA, haha, more like chionging my chemistry holiday homework..  Right, so i woke up at 8am (ok, maybe 755) and i chionged to get ready and met phyu at redhill (cause she was late too! LATE BUDDIES! (: ). Then we went to learn PDS. According to my other platoonmates, today was not productive at all, but to me, it was! :) I learnt some new moves for PDS and I'm glad :) Then we went to 18 chefs to have lunch before rushing back to learn more PDS.

And I will post about Phuket, as i have promised, after this post. I've decided to post about it in a seperate post cause i just want to. Hehe, no lah, just that i think that it'll be neater that way.. Not that i'm a very neat person in the first place..

I was freaking out cause i don't think Rach sent the DO proposal.. Thankfully, i had Charlie to help me out. Thanks Charlie, for your help for the DO proposal. I honestly feel very bad now that everyone has to help me in my time of mini crisis. Appreciate everything you have done, Charlie. Can't thank you enough for this.. Thanks for helping Rach and I to organize the DO. I won't know what i'll do without you. Love ya..

And I'm going to Gopeng for TEENS RETREAT 2012 tomorrow night. Yay! Looking forward to meeting new teens from the Malaysia (KK and KL)!! Hope that we'll have a great time there! Fellowship and just enjoy ourselves. New friendships will blossom and old ones would be strengthened. And i'm in group 5, GO GROUP 5!! Hope we win this..

And to my new buddy from KL: I hope to get to know you much better during this retreat. And sorry that my present to you would be so simple. I'm really busy as i just got back from Phuket and i have CCA too.. I hope that you won't hold it against me. :)

I'M BACK!!

I'M BACK FROM PHUKET!! :)

It was super fun and a nice place to be in.. It's kinda late now and i'm tired, so i shall not post anything.. There is CCA tomorrow, and i'm still up and wasting my time. I promise to post everything tomorrow. Kayy, this post is so boring..

Good night world! :)

Unforgettable experiences

So, Dad booked a trip to Phuket without my knowledge.. So, my family and I would be heading to Phuket for a holiday from tomorrow till the 12th of December.. I'm so super sorry, Charlie, I'll have to miss 3 days of training. I really don't wanna miss and I even thought of having a 'no show', but it'll be a waste of the ticket.. So, after 2 days of thinking, I've made my decision. I'll go to Phuket. Although i know that i'm one of the people in the part who has learnt the least of PDS, but i promise to put in my 200% effort to catch up and learn as fast as i possibly can. I hope that i won't screw up the performance or let you all down during the rehearsals, Charlie. I promise to do my very best.

Phuket has really taught me a lot. Although it is a rural area and not very well developed, but i love that place.. The people there are so optimistic about life. And the pace of life there is slower than Singapore, which is ideal for relaxing..Well, the last time i went there was when i was just a P1 kid. Unfortunately, a tsunami occurred at that place.

Well, being a tsunami survivor, your life just would never be the same.. I still remembered my siblings and i were swimming in the pool when the adults suddenly asked us to get out and we were rushed back to the hotel room. I can still vividly remember the scene after the tsunami, when Dad brought us back to the beach. Everything just wasn't the same anymore. The sand was wreaked with debris. Vehicles and ships were just in a heap. Many fishes died and people lost their lives. However, a few days later, we could see people setting up little stalls and selling goods/providing services. I really admire these people for their courage to continue life although they might have lost family members and their stalls were just washed away..

Dad told me, when i was older and could understand, how fortunate we were. Dad had wanted to book a hotel next to the beach, but it was fully booked. So, he had to book one which was further away from the beach, and therefore would not have a magnificent view of the beach. But thinking back now, that was actually a blessing in disguise. I'm just so thankful that the hotel was fully booked, or else i don't know where we would be now.

Words can't describe how thankful i am to be given a second chance at life. Although i was quite young then, but now as i reminisce that incident, it has really taught me to be grateful for everything i have now and everyone who has impacted my life in some way. I know that i don't really deserve anything i have now, so THANK YOU! You have no idea how much you all mean to me. I hope that this trip to Phuket would go smoothly and we would just enjoy our stay there..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRO

HAPPY 12th BIRTHDAY, BRO!!

Hey! Next year you'll be in a Sec school already. Hope that you'll be able to adapt quickly. Must study hard next year, cannot play too much.

It's kinda weird that I've not wished you happy birthday today. I usually wish people happy birthday in the mornings when I wake up or maybe in the afternoon, if I wake up late that day.. Well, I hope that you are having a blast at the preteens retreat! :) I was at church with Mum yesterday and we went to visit you, but I guess you were bathing... The preteen workers said that you were enjoying yourself, so that's good. Anyways, have a good birthday at Sentosa with all the other preteens.

Andd, we'll celebrate tonight! Looking forward to a wonderful dinner.. Ning baked a cake for you, so hope you'll enjoy it! :)

Well, it's kinda weird to update using my phone. I usually use the computer..

So embarrassing :(

Yesterday, mum told me that my cousin is in Singapore!! YAY! And that she was going to meet her at 9am today.. Right, 9am, anddd I couldn't wake up, as usual.. So yeah, i was sleeping soundly when mum suddenly called my name. I opened my sleepy eyes, and guess what? My cousin was there!! ARHH, i was so embarrassed!! :'(

/quickly takes my bolster and covers my face in embarrassment/

MUM, why must you bring my cousin into the room and stare at DA SLEEPING ME?!?! I was so embarrassed :(

Anyways, HEY COUSIN! Thanks for coming to visit! :) I feel like going back to Sarawak to visit soon! But sadly, i don't think I'll have that kinda time till after Os, maybe. I wanna go back for chinese new year! I'm sure I'll get many angpaos, haha. I'm so greedy.. Well, it has been some time since i went back to Sarawak. I miss the chicken soup! YUMMY! I'm always somehow the greediest when it comes to chicken soup.. AHH, so delicious, miss it so much..

Another typical day...

Had CCA today. Can't really describe how tired I am now, but i guess it was all worthwhile. PDS is hard, but all it requires is PRACTICE. I think today was quite productive, though I know it's only just the beginning. I kinda start liking PDS now cause learning choreographed PDS is SO SUPER DUPER easier than the basics. I just hope that my memory won't fail me and I won't forget the moves, at least till next week.

Anyways, Rach and I managed to teach combat till all umbrellas were broken.. What an achievement! And sorry, i don't think those umbrellas could be used for arm drills anymore.. And i think FSD is looking good, just that need to choreograph a bit faster (according to soe).. i agree, kinda worried that there would be no time to perfect.

And, YAY, I'm quite excited for PDS noww.. Hope that all goes well..... :)

MY FIRST POST

A big HELLO to the virtual world! My first peek into the world of the INTERNET! I kinda welcomed myself into the first distraction, and hopefully it would be the last. I still have no idea how this really works, but oh well, it takes practice to familiarize myself, i guess?

Grandma isn't gonna be really pleased with me for this, so i'd better keep it a secret. Just hope that she won't find out. Maybe I'll pluck up my courage and tell her that I've created a blog later. Well, it doesn't hurt to be honest, just hope that she won't be mad at me. :)
