mom was reminding dad abt calling home and stuff. haha and of course not forgetting a hug.. i also reminded dad to buy a bear form england! LOL.ytd lotsa ppl gg thru the custom so gotta wait for a moment before dad successfully went in... then dad waved goodbye to us...a mirror separating us form each other... the feeling rather weird.

went out with sis the whole of ytd!!!!!!!!!!! i was late as usual... but its actually not my fault lor, the bus came late HAHA.

i donated to the SBS transit lor. here's what happened:

took bus 53 to bishan so can get to somerset. then knowing that my card left with 30 cents, i decided to put in coins... who knows when i put in the coins, the uncle said must show him my student pass to prove that i am a student.... so i showed him la. then he said must scan the card, i scan lor. and YES! they deducted another 55 cents from my card, which left a negative value in it! so ytd i paid double the price for the bus trip ): do i even look like i m not a student DUH. its like my first time the bus uncle ever ask me to show him my student pass to prove lor! HAIZ.

i took abt 3 whole days to think abt what to eat for dinner and my prezzie haha. and so since i haven thought of what to eat, we went shopping at heeren first lo. sis bought some movies at HMV... and some movies were on sales!!!!

dinner at heeren basement --- VIL'AGE:

its actually a buffet sort of thingy. VERY YUMMY!!!!!!! ate crayfish pasta, took some potato sort of thing from sis as well HAHA. my dessert was tiramisu cake! sis's blueberry baked cheese was heavenly la!!!!! the cheese was so thick... delicious ((: spent abt 52 bucks on dinner.

continue our shopping spree after that. went to takashimaya and bought this tank top from esprit, and this special thingy that wrote pass in all exams in chinese. its actually a jap product, rather cute.. haha, so sis bought one for me, and one for herself since she taking exam rihgt after my o's. bought a fila bag too... its looks VERY cute hahaha... it actually cost abt 50 plus de, then now oonly selling for 26 plus ((: cos they having clearance sales i think. all the tees also on sales.

then we spotted this cart shop selling all the cutie stuff, like spongebob, doraemon, winnie the pooh, etc. so i got so excited abt this doraemon toy, which can change its face HAHA ... knowing that i LOVE doraemon, sis bought one for me.... as i know that my companion cell also LOVES xiao ding dang, so i decided to get one for her lo. but sis refuses to let me pay for it, so ended up sis buying for her LOLL.

reached home ard 10.45pm.. sis escort me home cos she said bu fang xin ((: and she's actually trying to recognise the places and everything so that she can come my house next time without taking cab. LOL. stayed till abt 11 plus then parents came back frm wedding dinner. they suggested sis to stay overnight, but cos sis injured her arm and required to apply medication on it, so she has to go home )): but nevermind, after my o's i am gonna rock her whole house down HAHAHA

and amazingly sis reached home within 10 mins when she stayed near marine parade!!!! cos she said green light throughout the way HAHA and very few cars on the road as well cool!

had a great time ytd... and now i was back with my books open, studying AGAIN.... it seems to be a cycle after all....

anw, today got the last chapel service.

a sad one indeed. farewells seem to be approaching soon ):

entering a next part of our life.. the sweet & bad moments in pl... will soon become memories...10 solid yrs in pl...

still remembering in 1998 when i first stepped into pl.. we were all wearing this tag which writes our names n everything... with a kiddy disney, etc bag [ i still rmb mine was minnie mouse haha]... with our parents in the canteen looking at us during recess time.. and i still rmb i waved to my granny n mummy haha...

then a very strict principal indeed...[ she scolded my mom b4 LOL] i still can rmb vividly the canteen duty during recess time HAHA.. once we even got a thunderstorm! [pl gals shud know wad it means] the carefree life we got -- playing hopscotch EVERYDAY, being booked in the latecoming list almost everyday heehee, etc.

now in yr 2007... we gonna graduate as mature, graceful ladies of pl... many incidents be in happy or sad happened during these yrs. arguements are bound to be within our own frens.. different views between classmates when doing project work are evident too... complaints towards certain ppl....more and more...

new circle of friends
new life in another institution
new teachers
new way of approaching ppl
new uniform
new shoes
new facilities....

everything is all NEW! but i dun sense any anticipation within me....




1 more wk to decide my next step of life ):

Looking through your eyes --- the song sis-in-law sang to bro.

Look at the sky tell me what do you see
Just close your eyes and describe it to me
The heavens are sparkling with starlight tonight
That's what I see through your eyes

I see the heavens each time that you smile
I hear your heartbeat just go on for miles
And suddenly I know why life is worthwhile
That's what I see through your eyes
That's what I see through your eyes

Here in the night, I see the sun
Here in the dark, our two hearts are one
Its out of our hands, we can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise, looking through your eyes
I see a night I wish could last forever
I see a world we're meant to see together
And it is so much more than I remember
More than I remember
More than I have known

Here in the night, I see the sun
Here in the dark, our two hearts are one
Its out of our hands, we can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise, looking through your eyes
Looking through your eyes

ytd was brother's wedding ((: supposedly shud b a happy occasion... but nothing is perfect, things still happened.

afternoon session:

bro and bride came ard 11 plus. but before they came in, all of us gotta hide in the room.. weird tradition, but jus folo la. HAHA before that, we got some gathering with all the relatives, mostly frm my cousin's paternal side so i dun seem to recognise them.... but still manage to communicate well la.

tea ceremony:

mom and dad was the last the couple offered tea to, LOL cos my mom is the youngest aunty out of all of my relatives... then it was the other way round le.. the younger siblings gotta offer tea to the wedding couple. and since my mom is the youngest, so i am the last one to offer tea to them LOL. so i said 表哥,表嫂,请喝茶。then they gotta say guai, zhu ni xue ye jing bu..... and the climax was of ocurse the 2 red packets HAHAHA... the photographer then took photos with every tea offered. the feeling is very weird.... cos its like the first time i offered tea...during this whole session, i got 3 red packets whooo... cos one of them is bro gave me de, its a chinese tradition to give red packets to children on ur marriage...

ate buffet... quite okay la. then parents chat with relatives... i m like reading newspaper LOL. nothing to do.. then chat with sis for a short while.

night:

reached oriental at ard 7pm... cos heavy traffic at highway.. but the dinner starts at 8 plus lor. before that was cocktail party. quite boring la. cos all the adults drinking wine and everything n i m still underaged.. rahh.. but sis n i still ordered this blue cocktail haha called " seed of love" wad a nice n interesting name yeah. played with niece.... she so playful HAHA... but when the dinner starts, she was unwell or stg, started vomitting... so sis n brother-in-law carried her to see doc, and left.

and the whole table which supposed to have 9 ppl. left with 6 ): the whole dinner was super boring... cos nothing to tok abt when all the rest r adults and they all toking abt some stuffs i not interested in haiz... had to comment that the toilet service was really good haha. cos after we washed our hands, there is this lady will bring you a towel to wipe ur hands ((: excellent service! there was another wedding gg on at the other ballroom as well....

then photoshoot lo. there was also friends dedication and wishes to the wedding couple. one of them is in london so they webcam with her live! cool eh. guess bro n sis-in-law must b very touched. sis-in-law then sang a song specially for bro....... and her voice is so sweet ((: and she look absolutly stunning ytd! VERY!! all the relatives said she look like fann wong haha... cos we were browsing thru the photo albums during cocktail party.

everyone was pretty worried abt niece though... heard she been to hospital.. but now shud b quite all right le. phew..

haiz its like so fast, brother getting married lo. he is sort of one of my closest brother among all my cousins.... whenever i m unable to make choices in my studies such as during p4 to p5 chossing streams, sec 2 subject com, etc. he never fails to give me his views... one thing i will never forget is the way he calls my name, haha.... whenever i see him, he will definitely calls me "smanling" [smile-ling] when i was young, i will always cheer up the moment he calls me that haha... so this nick has stick on to me forever... and of course its specially save for bro to call his little sis that!


to my dearie brother: all the best for ur wed this sat (: stay happy always! and of course dun forget to buy gifts for me when u are honey-moon-ing HAHAHA.

friends forever

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And There was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

Chorus:
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

*Repeat chorus*

La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this townI keep,
I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

*Repeat chorus 3x*

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPIE BIRTHDAY





JOYCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i practically screwed up my emaths n add maths tests!!!!!!!!!!!!!! firstly i pin not much hope on amaths liao. cos i simply cannot understand a single thingy on relative velocity!

but i did try out some questions la.... vectors was pretty ok though.

as for emaths, i am so depressed!!!!!!!!!!!!

i had to say the questions were okie, managable ---- but the fact was i forgot to bring in my calculator! and the teacher simply dun allow me to go out and take, when i already realised during checking of papers ): the paper haven start yet, but still cannot go out n take.

mayb i cant blame the teacher la, my own fault for being so forgettful............

so i ended up cannot solve certain "easy" questions! and had to spend the whole day doing long division )):

i was so upset with myself, seriously.

crying is the best way of de-stressing myself... so when i reached home, the first thing is to slam myself on my bed, cover with blanket over head, and cry out loud! let the all the tears flow.......as i was crying, i fell asleep... [thats's usually the way how i sleep during days where i m utterly upset]

“Tears are words the heart can't express”

yes, its so true...

before i forgot:

HAPPIE SWEET 16, michelle!!!!!!!!!!
