no idea why i decided to blog. or what i plan to blog about. ahh well.
so i've found my
absolute dream racquet. no actually tis not, its just some random passing fancy. basically, its teh head nano titanium s4. its head size is slightly smaller than my current racquet, tensions slightly weaker, length slightly shorter, & weight lighter. all of which are kool & suit my way of playing better!i like my ncode very much, yes, its an
old faithful & all that, not that old but like sortuf. ima gonna change my grip to a grey-coloured one! with more absorbence. im just bored of it, slightly. so im actually saving up to buy the head racquet myself. yeah, im serious. i'll buy it next year! then i'm going to buy another racquet the year after next. heh, e ambitions i have. great, daring & wonderful. wilson this time of course. or maybe voikl, just for a change! but no matter what, ima NOT going to get prince. wootz.
so back to e point. ima gonna go to queensway next week, buy tennis shoes! & check out prices of my dream racquet. except by the time i save up enough money i'd have another dream racquet. gargh.
so today was pretty kool i guess, training was funkeh apart from the weirdo guy that coach brought along who thinks he's
all that when lynette's absolutely right. cheryl (is that her name?!) or angela could thrash him anytime they felt like it. dargh. then coro for lunch, & plaza sing for arcading! pretty kool, unfortunately, i was broke so THAT was relatively uneventful. grrr. & then a long journey home. I FINISHED LORD OF THE RINGS - THE TWO TOWERS!!! give me a pat on the back people.
then i went home & guess who was online, JIA WEI. its like wow wee, poor dude who i was rumoured to like in p3. hahaha funkeh memories. so it was fun chatting, & you know God really does work in wondrous ways, i was praying so hard for a tennis coach & turns out, jia wei's dad coaches part-time, kinduf. its absolutely marvellously beauteous. asked him to bai-tuo his dad a bit, even if cannot coach can suggest ppl who can coach me. & e coincidences that happen! he saw me in the mrt today.
and apparently i've grown fatter. heh. not that i dont admit it, really. if you consider the amounts i can eat & the number of times i eat and the time i can go without eating (1 hour) you'll understand perfectly why.
im in a starifical mood & life kicks too much ass to be true.next year's gonna be busy but kool i suppose! activities i think i'll have- cca, twice a week.
- smp, once a week.
- piano lessons, guzheng lessons, each once a week.
- music, no idea.
- tennis lessons, once a week.
- nyaa service, once a week.
- csp? i suppose. maybe considered with nyaa, once a week.
- church & youth & stuff & mustard seed & stuff like that!
& just to wrap up, teh lyrics of WHAT CHILD IS THIS.verse 1 what child is this, who laid to rest;
on Mary's lap is sleeping?
whom angels greet, with anthems sweet;
while shepherds' watch are keeping
chorus 1
this, this is Christ the King;
whom shepherds guard & angels sing;Haste, haste to bring him laud,
the Babe, the Son of Mary
verse 2
why lies He in such mean estate;
where ox & ass are feeding?
good Christians fear for sinners here;
the silent Word is pleading
chorus 2
nails, spear shall pierce him through;the cross be borne, for me, for you;hail, hail the word made flesh;
the Babe, the Son of Mary
verse 3
so bring Him incense, gold & myrrh,
come peasant, king to own Him;
the King of kings salvation brings;let loving hearts enthrone Himchorus 3
raise, raise a song on high,
the virgin sings her lullaby;
joy, joy for Christ is born,the Babe, the Son of Mary

today was starifically fabulous, really. teh church outing!
so basically we went to marina south, on this nice grassy place perfect for flying kites & stuff. hung there, played some games where i was actually CARRIED OVER & between a bunch of PINK RAFFIA STRINGS because we were playing some spiderweb game. i was squealing like heck but it was fun i suppose. except poor guys that had to carry me, they'll probably break a lot of capillaries. heh.
then, the highlight of the day,
teh dinnuh. giggles. it was great! twas like in e style of a fire, then above it a ring-shaped grill & a pot right in e middle so it was steamboat-cum-bbqgrill. lurvely, absolutely. i ate loads & loads & realised that a lot of ppl eat less than me but nevermind, e food really rawked. i mean although they give you only a certain # of live prawns & crabs, i dont eat those anyways so it didnt make much of a dif.
e chicken was great, & THE SHELLFISH OMGAWSH THE SHELLFISH. i hope i cooked them enough kuz if i didnt i'll get stomach upsets tomorrow but nevermind it tasted wonderful while it lasted. absolutely stupendously pretty. i boiled my cockles for ages, then grilled em so they should be alright, they were basically chowtar & almost crunchy. lol.
its really very worth it for twelve bucks.
then, e arcade was lurve. once more i died very early in time crisis, but it was fun while it lasted! & daytona which rawked arse except i kept on overturning myself & thus losing e games gargh. not e point though. @ least i didnt keep driving to the pit & wasting years like i did last time lol. & i did overtake catherine once in a while!!
so basically today was wondrous. i really do like church now, & not just kuz of these outings, of course. but as in church in general. in comparison to shanghai. of course in shanghai i didnt ATTEND church so much, but youth was nice. nothing compared to this though, people make you feel welcome & belonged. heh.
so i'll go watch rome now, new series on hbo, abotu the secret lives of e roman people. to let us understand that under e glamour, glory, & guang-hui, lies secrets, betrayal, and SCANDALS. grins. i think i'll like it. heh.
I NEED TO GET NEW TENNIS SHOES.

so i thought i'd blog. rather long-winded one, sorreh!
where have all the pasar malams gone,
i WANT TO EAT!!!i reckon food is one of God's greatest creations. or e sense of taste + smell. drool.
have been reading
ecclesiastes lately. some people say its depressing, but i dont really think so. its just pessimistic & its very true, loads of people feel that way. i particularly like chapter 3 verses 1 - 8, the whole chunk about how there is a time for everything.today's meeting thingum @ madeline's house was pretty kool. we kept on running off the topic discussing the most irrelevant stuff but that was fun too i guess, there's just no way to keep to the same track for the whole of 3 hours or so! ladida.
and i guess i might write, after all. despite flunking english & lit, writing isn't too bad kuz in a way it makes me feel, useful. & like im doing something or another to help, instead of just attending youth. which is kinda why i didnt feel that comfortable going to youth in shanghai, just sitting down there & doing bible study or singing but not really belonging in that sense. which is why feesh/thomas & i would pon & hide out in the bushes outside discussing any topic under e sun.
life rocks, for now.i reckon my morale just got a rather good boost so i'll go for training tomorrow. although they probably wont be there like last week, also thanks to the open day. i'll go kaypoh and check it out but must come home & practice piano & do piano hw so ARGH. i cant, absolutely cannot do quiet time @ home. i dont know. there's just so much stuff around me that i cannot place my concentration onto my devotionals, or e Bible @ hand, my material. i just skim through it, make some random notes, while playing muzik & chatting, then stopping to play hearts on the computer.
which is why i've switched to doing it @ mcdonalds. early in the morning, get a coffee, just sitting down there - its strangely calming, there're very few people, & not much sound apart from the tv playing chicken little over & over again. & @ a corner, a bunch of aunties snipping the ends of towkay & chatting. i like the sound of that. & how happy people @ mcdonalds sound, from the babies getting balloons; to the people @ the counter shouting to the people @ the back for two mcchickens, put more vegetable! in chinese.
& i can concentrate over there, get immersed in whatever im reading or studying. which reminds me, i dont really like
the purpose-filled life, its a bit on the slow going side. it just doesnt stick with me, i tend to skim through the surface. i like reading apologetics more, as well as explanatory texts, bible study stuff. devotionals are great, but not this particular one i guess. i wanna subscribe to everyday with jesus or something of the sort. & i desperately need to go to tecman soon, or the nice christian bookshop in great world city. wonderful places, them. will find someone to drag along, attempt to get sponsorship from mum (who most definitely will not sponsor) & go shop my ass off. yay.

on second thought, being in 310 aint that bad. i mean sure there're all these overly intelligent and good-in-studies people that'll make me feel extremely demoralized, but it also means i can copy homework from them or something! grins. & yep chanyi's right, with cheronne & jasmine & sarahng & yingming (damien!) the class will be pretty rowdy anyhow.
so its 7.45 in the morning, and im sitting @ my table,
decked out in THE nanyang pe tshirt - the one thats so horribly short when i serve or jump or stretch, my unflat stomach becomes
all too entirely obvious - THE nanyang pe shorts beneath THE nanyang skirt. i believe that if i didnt mean to pon training today, i'd be on my way to school, sitting on the bus, listening to music and being half-asleep, basically. but im not. strangely.
i
am going to school, however, seeing as if i dont, the maid will suspect something and report it to my dear mother. i'll just say training got postponed to 8.30. or some shit, of the sort. then @ sch i'll go to the library, or find a bench somewhere and continue reading
the case for faith, of which im doing research so i know what to write an article about.YES I NEED TO WRITE A FREAKING ARTICLE! for our youth fellowship newsletter. im meant to do layout design & stuff like that, but unfortunately due to lack of members i'll need to
write an article too. e proposal needs to be done by thursday. so basically yesterday i went to jurong east regional library to borrow books to help me through the process. (got 4 books, they rock)
had the urge, all of a sudden, to go to jurong point, so i reckon im going on thursday, under the pretense that i'm going out with friends. need to get berms! and tees. & RINGS OH GOSH RINGS YES.
there's
zilch interesting stuff happening in my life right now, but im attempting to write a song. the lyrics are done, i took them from isaiah 53, and i have e chorus melody done so all i need to do is figure out a tune for the verse, then the bridge. its so much easier on the guitar compared to the piano, really.
i truly wish i didnt have to go to school today. we all have better things to do. OH I JUST GOT AN IDEA. i'll go hang out @ mcdonalds. yep. only hanging out for three entire hours doesnt seem very plausible does it. who gives. maybe i should leave a little later, then go to like west mall or something to roam. actually, i reckon roaming in lot1 today. must have a bit of er. variation. actually i'll stick to west mall. & go to lifebookshop to get some stuff!
i also got posters yesterday! no not really posters, they're like A3 size, the LOCUST ones. i got four, they were $2 each. one says
learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow, one says when the night seems to be its darkest, it means the sun will soon rise up. press on... dont give up! , then the other two are VERY wordy, one's about not quitting, and the other explains why wait is God's best answer.so lastly but not leastly, LI-EN's in singapore!! i think so, anyway. she hasnt called me or posted anything yet but yes i think she's here. wootzies, shopping trips and loads of fun. im thinking about dragging her to church camp, dont know if she'll be interested. li-en, if you read this, please do post something on my cbox. thanks!
anyways, just a short nostalgic session, remember all the absolutely wonderful times we had? like singing only hope very prettily
under the nose of none other than josh ang? & giving each other horrible hairstyles, of course. & how similar & different we are from each other! like whatever you're good @ (swimming, running, tennis, art, drama, english, lit), i suck, & whatever i'm good @ (maths, chinese) you're not that good @. lol IM NOT INSULTING YOU OKAY. i think you'd disapprove of my dressing
even more now, kuz i wear tshirts & berms all e time unlike last time when i'd have shadows of girliness. ahh well. we should go shopping together sometime, & watch a movie yes we should. & novena isnt that far from bukit batok so we could hang!ask your mum to think about hwa chong international? maybe you can go there instead of acs international or something. probably around the same price. but
nevermind. and then you can also give me tennis lessons, & english tuition, i'll pay! so CALL ME UP GIRL, number's 81591871, and im free mondays & thursdays.
see ya & cheers. i've decided on going to mcdonalds for an hour & a half, then to kfc for an hour & a half, then to life bookshop YEAH.

must admit that jay truly rawkz. the first time i heard november's chopin, i only liked nocturne. & e more i listen to it, e more it kickzass. a LOT of ass.
so i havent blogged in years and years, while a heck lot of shit has been happening so once more im going to post a loooong boring blog. aware as i am that nobody visits this blog because livejournal is so much more easy, i prefer this one as its SO FREAKING CUTE! love my layout, yoo see.
so today first! i woke up at seven, decided i didnt want to go for training, went back to sleep but couldn't because my sister woke up and demanded i go to the market w her to buy crepe paper. and i couldnt find an excuse to reject her so i decided to go for training after all, no matter how late i would be. thus picking up my racquet, chucking trash into my bag, and the hundred bucks i got from my mum to buy textbooks.
arriving @ school @ around 9ish, i realised that NOBODY was @ training, not even e coach's car. they weren't even taking breaks outside the audi so i was like WTF and thus decided to pon training! so off to popular, managed to get the physics and chem textbooks which cost me SEVENTY FREAKING DOLLARS. its horrible. and the physics textbooks look REEYERLY crappy i swear.
then went to the office to check class listings, im in 310 w a whole bunch of geniuses namely brenda, yulin, felicia, sala, damien. was like CRY. but anyways theres cheronne & jasmine to liven e class up so wootz! & theres like 7 peeps taking bsp so like wow.
went to west mall, bought black rubber bands and one ring, then went home. and after dinner off to piano, which was great, I LOVE BACH YES I DO SO MUCH DAMMIT. & i cant really believe im LIKING piano lessons now. i cant do stupid lateral movements gosh. and afterwards on the way home, went to the cc and PEPS was performing! i was like KOOL & sorta went to kaypoh but got kicked out so poo that person who kicked me out lol. afterwards saw mdm cheng (yun sees mother) & talked & talked & talked.
also saw mrs lim, and er, mdm chew who has become so much more...placid. like, smiley and auntie. i remember the days lol when the sight of her stroke fear in the hearts of all primary one midgets. sigh. and i saw guess who, drumroll, HUIYI AND AMANDA! wow. yeah thats pretty freaking kool. the last time i saw them was approx 4 and a half years ago and they look pretty much the same, taller of course but yep.
my mums pissed @ me kuz she came poking around and asking who i was talking to and i replied rather curtly and coldly and rudely. hmph. pffft. whatever.
was going to blog and hissy fit over the chalet, which i think absolutely kicked ass but decided im too bored for that. will now go & watch illegal movies on the net while reading ljs and counting how much cash i have left, which is not much. sigh.

yay so i got one of those usb attach-able keyboards so now i can
finalle type normally! yootz. i keep creating new words that mean yay. ahh well.
so i've just come back from a piano lesson. yes, oh gosh, tis my first in two years. my mum should consider a career in real estate or insurance or something to do with marketing, she absolutely
rocks @ coercing people into doing things they're still having doubts over.
ms foo (the piano teacher) is really nice & funny & auntie-ish. & isnt it just so rad that she 'specialises' in baroque, kuz i absolutely
love love love baroque. i also like modern pieces, the ones that're normally tested in the c sections of the grade exam pieces. the way they sound horrible @ first & then its up to you to make it sound great. & how you can convey your feelings completely through them. in that way its better than romantic stuff, which is really dramatic (i like!) but the 'drama' comes all from the piece itself, from what the composer wants.
no regrets, no apologies.its my motto in life. kuz regrets are useless, & apologies are never meant. in my case anyway. but im sorta regretting giving up piano, especially in shanghai when i had too much free time on my hands anyway. now that i've started, its like how on earth am i going to cope w all the crap im going to get next year. nevermind, there's always a way to do it, if i truly want to.so yesterday was pretty kool, shopping in west mall, & watching skyhigh. which rocked so much! warren peace is awfully cute. yes. absolutely. i love his hair, whether tied back or not. red streak in the hair is TEH ROCK. and all that fire he has. wootz! however, my
current crush remains on JR, who hails from k-one. yes, damien has been dumped. i love taiwanese artistes.
also got jay's new album, which is not bad like but a bit on the slow side. too many slow ones. for the record, i like ye-qu, si-mian-chu-ge, ni-ling, & piao-yi. from now on shall buy cds from discs station, they sell new albums @ like 10 bucks. when i get money again shall get show's hypnosis. got chanyi's present, which is a necklace thingum, & chanyi got her pretty
lilac bag! yes its that colour exactly. and i've decided on the xmas prezzies im going to give to the family:
dad & mum- figurine of the last supper. [bought] [$36]
- door sign that says 'greatest mum & dad' [$6]
lorena- cute christmas mug [bought] [$6]
- notebook, happy house [bought] [$7]
- something else i forgot what, thats like $9 i think, in gift image.
auntie belyn (our maid)- container for holding her paper stars [$15]
- craft items [$6]
YAY. then i needa find some more lil cute things i can buy for my sister so she can give them to my dad & mum & belyn. dargh, which leaves me pretty much broke kuz thats going to take up all of my savings from the year. cries.
the figurine i got my parents is love though. its big, heavy and beautiful. i love the last supper scene. & the scene when jesus is whipped,
39 times, with the crown of thorns on his head & all. no, im not sadistic, its just in these scenes we
truly understand how painful christmas must have been to God. to give away something that He loved, to let something be born only to die, thats what our God did. He knew his Son would be killed by
the very people whom He died for, but He let Jesus be born. sigh.

so here i am to update!LONG LONG BLOG TODAY. as in SERIOUSLY LONG. i love the lil park near my house! it has two nice places where you can play basketball, has nets & all, & nice steps where the crowds can sit or the players can put their things. then there's this ring which is the size of a volleyball court. the cc is nearby, which means badminton, table tennis. & e road is lurvely kuz one can cycle, scooter, rollerblade, or jog, it has nice slopes & stuff. then the best part is the big grassy place with football goalposts!! its great to fly kites or play football or FRISBEE WOOTZ. & there's this playground, ok trust me, theres this ring thing that when you walk on it, it kinda swivels around and its SO FUN and so hard seriously. childish as i might sound.
okay so im on my dad's computer, kuz my laptop's keyboard is ruined. as in when i try to type A, QAZ comes out. and when i attempt to type C, 12C comes out. its damned annoying. half of the keys have this problem & its like near impossible to type kuz everytime i type one letter i need to like backspace/delete two. so hopefully i'll get it fixed sometime during the weekend, only we're kinduf very busy so blech. birthday parties, & bullshit of the sort.and now i'll describe my life in
chronological order, starting from wednesday, the big day!
& so my dad dropped me off so i reached school @ normal school starting time, 7.10ish. then i sat on the benches outside the office reading
state of fear, by michael crichton. DUDES IT IS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING BOOK. wooph. until it was 7.40, when i went up w yangzi, then 8, everybody packed off to the audi for rehearsals!
so e chinese speech was first, and we screwed up
very badly. and oh yes i mean it. horribly. harry & the maid were MUCH smoother in comparison. however i do not personally think we were that much @ fault for sucking @ e chinese speech. twas prettyboy who was on about changing everything
@ the freaking last minute so yeah. including our positions on stage, e mothers' position on stage, e WEIRD ROBOTIC DANCE. gosh. then afterwards we were like told that we might get scrapped & all, & apparently how embarassing it is to him kuz tis never happened to him before. AS IF, DARLING, DREAM ON.then off to j8 for lunch, which was a
rather long distance to go to eat curry chicken noodles if you ask me, but ahh well better than boring old kap & coro, then we rushed back for more practices w prettyboy who acted as if we were
nonexistent. surprise surprise. but we didnt get scrapped.
THEN THE BIG PERFORMANCES, WOOT!! they
rawked, harry & the maid, i mean which were wonderful, truly. apart from two slight un-noticeable mistakes. so proud. and i absolutely LURVED the flowers i got! so most ppl got more than me *pointed look @ liza* but still im absolutely happy. and liza deserved the most credit, no wait ALL the credit she was entirely wonderful as
'freaky' and
'karang guni dude'! yay. & the durai speech was damned good too i LIKE I LIKE.
okay so then we went home & realised our cable tv was activated! wootz! now i can
finally watch tennis or any other of the sports channels, as well as a bunch of other wondahful stuff during the holidays. yay!thursday, went to uncle roy's house to use his tennis court, my dad & me. relatively uneventful. but we went to westmall and i managed to
coerce my dad & mum to give me my christmas present earlier! aka my new schoolbag, its vertikal (brand) and its rather nice. weird, but nice.
so today, woke up around 10, read nora roberts, she's a really good mystery-thriller writer and awfully exciting. & the ending is so unexpected. so then went off to training which was from 1-4! started out w 5 ppl, but
ending up being only lynette & me. the others left for strange unknown reasons. anyhow,
slicing is horribly difficult and tiring, especially with e coach shouting across the net and me being
completely unable to comprehend what the heck he is talking about. however he wasnt shouting @ me, in fact he was acting as if i was an
invisible bit of dust. i swear. he merely hit balls over for me to slice, but didnt give a freaking comment. dargh. i'd rather get taught and advised.
however he also said that i will stop going training @
some point of time. if he's kicking me out of tennis, damn him. if he's meaning i should stop training w the people who are actually playing in e tournament thingum, then i dont give a damn lol. hope cheronne's ankle heals soon so i'll have someone to train WITH. kuz lynette's going to europe. bleh.
then went to bukit timah plaza w yangzi & claire, which was a relatively different hangout than the usual, kap & coro. we went to kfc, where i over-ate, which is usual as well. but anyways. had a rather nice talk for about 1 and a half hours. i cant really recall what we talked about. but it involved people and religion. yes, religion. amusing. oh yes and sexual orientation. which was also rather interesting.
I WANT NOVEMBER CHOPIN! it sounds
great, saw the mvs being advertised and it really seems to rock. woot.
so i'll go off now to watch this
strange show showing which seems very vaguely amusing. &
contemplate what to do for the rest of my holidays. which so far appear to be extremely uneventful and boring. i absolutely
cannot wait for sec 3 to start, seriously. its a new start, new beginning, fresh. like a newborn wolf. wolves are such beautiful animals don't you think. i swear they're absolutely glorious. magnificent. fantastic. lurvely. so back to the point, sec 3 should
rock. obs, whoa, sounds kool despite the skin peeling off & all. & i'll be like the
only gepper in chinese lit! cries. but nvm, to look on e
positive side, one has more chance of making new friends!

Tuesday, November 1
i got to take photos with damien!!so yesterday, claire melly & i went off to somewhere near macritchie reservoir to buy flowers for our
lovely 212 compatriots! after much
debating, going to different shops and
freezing in the cold, plus
counting stalks of flowers and
calculating price, we decided on
green palm leaf fern things, white orchids, and red berry thingums. absolutely unique, kuz roses are just so cliche. =D after choral night i went around demanding cash and then jasmine, yingming, claire, michelle and me again trudged off to kap and ate, but twas late so i left @ 10.45.
i brought all my punkrock stuff to lend lynette for her gangster scene and she
actually looked quite good leh! except i think its more kuz of her hair than all the chains dangling around her, but never mind was kool!
ahaha
applause and catcalls for the 212's who really rocked last night, DOI. the other performances were decidedly
immature and entirely
stupid if you ask me, the sec 1 ones. there were two other sec 2 ones which were passable. but two twelvers still
ruled the show yay! and URGH THAT STUPID CLASS WHO SANG LAOSHUAIDAMI dargh.
the audience was entirely shitty. i mean what's funny about someone getting aids? would you like to try?! tis so strange. just know they're gonna laugh @
1) the maid bludgeoning the mam.
2) mrs halloway calling out for christine
3) yangzi's closing scene.
pathetic! the audience, i mean.
went to westmall yesterday, and bought a cross thingy that says
'follow jesus' and is extremusly pretty. then there's this other shop that sells these mini thingamajiggerz that are like figures of the first Christmas - the 3 wise men, Mary, Joseph, manger, angel & all. and Jesus, of course.
cant wait to go there again w chanyi next thursday! and aye
need to get a new schoolbag from sports connection. i don't get why tis called sports connection when all it sells are sandals, water bottles and pretty bags. ahh well. then i went to sportslink, & the OTHER sports shop i forgot its name, but they dont appear to have tennis shoes. mine have
holes at the toes so they are officially unwearable anymore. ARGH. so goodness knows where i'll get new shoes. pah!
went marketing with my dad just now. he's
great to shop with, he always stops and buys plants and flowers. so today he bought
two potted plants and freshly cut purple orchids!! yes orchids so we put them together with my palm leaf fern and white orchids so they look really really classy together. i actually understand now why it's our national flower.
so, i'll shut up now and go memorize my lines for chinese speech. i seriously cannot STAND prettyboy. making us move the
really heavy picnic benches all the way to the audi like WAHLAU you try and see lar! and he was talking and suggesting to yingming all about her slut role and changing into damien role and all AYE can say is, she learnt how to change from guy to girl, from none other than YOURSELF.
