Hee...
Current Song - Price to pay - Staind

I'd just like to say. Poor Kingsley. Should have been there at the class gathering. Would have been really interesting and fun. Hoho.

Bleahhh... My nails are a very unflattering shade of orange now. I walked past Val today during FA lecture. Later at break, she grabbed my hands and asked 'Why are your nails so orange?!'

:D:D I didn't know it was so obvious!

Heh, actually the shade is quite nice if you are an ayumi-esque person. Cause the colours are so bright and j pop-ish. But I'm not that kind of person... so I can't really carry it off. Maybe I shold try a pop colours thing. You know. Red, pink, yellow, orange, vermillion. I did that last friday. People were staring at my nails; probably thinking I'm a weird girl. Haha.... that's cool. That's an idea. I'm excited. Shall go down to The Natural Source to get all their pop colours. Yayyyy.

Yayyy. :D:):D:)

Elison gave us lollipops today cause it was children's day. Hahahah... The last time I had a children's day present was like 5 years ago... It's so nice of her. :) Hm. And omg looked good today. Hahaha. :D My motivation for going to marketing tutorial :) (besides the fact that it's a very fun class). Was sitting behind him. :) I don't know. He looked so funny choosing a lollipop.

Lalala... okie got to go study for 1801 Computing test tmr.

Smokery hair is SO NOT ATTRACTIVE!

Had fun at Zouk last night. :) A lot of people there. Not relatively, of course. I know Zouk will have tons of people on good nights. But... yeah. In numbers there were a lot of people. Hm. I don't really make sense here. Whatever.

Was hanging out with Cher and Shirley and her PGP friends. Quite fun cause Shirley was very very funny. Mimick people's dancing and some crazy stories about people dancing... :D:D. My gosh. I don't wanna sound mean but you should see some of the people dancing there. On the podium somemore. They can't dance! For god's sake. They look as though they are wriggling in pain or something like that. There was this guy who was wearing really gross grandfather-ish clothes standing on the podium doing this weird retro-ish dance. Like... ew.... Know your limits man.

And this girl who looks like she had 20 cups of coffee and had too much energy to burn off. If she was moving any faster, her arms will swing off and hit somebody. Bleeah. That's a gross sight.

Anyway, was quite fun all round. Saw a lot of Cher's friends. Seemingly the whole of TJ were there? haha... I only saw ppl I know from school and not much SA ppl where there. Maybe they were and I didn't see them. Oh well.
Oh yeah. Can you believe some guy passed me a drink and asked me to drink it? Like, hello? I'm not dumb you know. It's the first thing everybody learns; not to accept a drink from a total stranger. Especially not one who has already drank the drink... or something.

We prefered Phuture to Zouk too.

Hm. Met some ppl. Some very unsavory ones too... haha. Ah well. Shall not say too much about that...

Blah... still have smoke smell in my hair this morning after I scrubbed it like mad. This sucks. It's better now though. Hope washing my hair 3 times today didn't spoil my hair. Blah. Going off to sleep now. Night!

Mwhahaha. I think stress has finally got to me

I have a new plan. You know those personal ads that always pop up when you surf around? I clicked on one today, out of curiosity, to see what kind of people would put their pictures there and such.

Think most of them are bascially quite normal people, but there are some others... My god. Can you say bad conversational skills and creep-o descriptions. 'I need love! I can't live without love!'. Saying that would be akin to saying 'I'm a super despo guy and I'm so despo, to me every girl is a potential girlfriend. And that means YOU!!! Would YOU like to be a potential candidate???' *shudder

And another saying 'Oh I like to travel, Hm. Yeah Europe is nice, I like France. It's very romantic. Oh but I like *insert obscure place here* better. It's more exclusive, and blah blah blah'. What a showoff.

Okok So here is my plan

I was thinking maybe I should do a write up thing for the website. Something scary. And maybe with bad english too. Hm. Let's see. Maybe not.

Blah, my enthusiasm for silliness lasted for all of 3 seconds.

Got to go find where exactly Zouk is cause I've never been there. Yeah I'm a loser. Whatever.

Hectic is the state of your life if you bite off more than you can chew.

I have 3 tests coming up, Bash at Zouk, FOP elections, MC meetings, Bizcom meetings, social entrepreneurship exhibition, JC class outing, marketing project, IT assignment.

Then the Academic standing comm is being formed; I need to get the contacts from Weijun, call the ppl up, set meeting dates, liaise with the S@S people. And then there's the proposed seminar that is facing some probs.

AGHGHAHGAHGHH

Oh yeah! I have to bring the lappie down to Com Centre to get it configured! Bleeeah. I didn't want to bother Fujitsu guy (whom Cher informed me was called Chris :D). And Steve was fiddling with my laptop today and tried to configure it, but apparently I have no LEAP or whatever. And oh yeah... I've been 'hacking' into some other wireless network that isn't the network I'm supposed to use, so... oops! I mean, I didn't know! They asked me to autheticate and type my name... so I did. How the heck would I know I'm not supposed to use that network? Haaaiii... So in a nutshell, I got to send my lappie to com centre.

Hung out at the lounge today with Val, Leroy and various other ppl that came in and went out... haha. Wanted to get some work done, but the student lounge is like the student centre at SA... cannot get any work done... hee. So yeah.

(Sidenote... I'm now multitasking. talking to 5 ppl on icq and checking mail, and updating yahoogroups. so basically what I'm saying is that this entry sucks and will sound whiney)

Anyway, I've got quite funky nails now, Cher had this nail decorator thingy... hee.

Okok! I'll stop typing for now, cause I really can't concentrate on doing so many things at once.

I shall not obsess. I shall not think too much of it. I shall do what I want regardless of other people's feelings. I should not think that I am a bad person

Maybe I will go do something to get my mind of this. Maybe will play around with Swish, this program that I downloaded yesterday. Or maybe I'll create a new blog design. Whatever.

It's like, I have a craving to do something bad.

I want to tell someone straight to their face that they disgust me.

I want to pour a glass of water on someone's head

I want to tear up somebody's work, slowly, piece by piece, right in front of their eyes.

I want to put somebody's face on a porcupine.

BlaH. Now you know how horrible and mean I am. And strangely, I do care about what you think of me.

Maybe I'm the worst person in the world
I am tired of being a good girl

K just called me with a plan.

Shall I? Shall I not?

I'm sick and tired you know. Caring too much about too many things.

Darn it. I don't care anymore. Caring too much about what people think has caused me to lost track of what I meant to do. What I am supposed to be. And who I am. I don't want to conform anymore.

And I want to do bad things.

I don't give a damn what you think.

Yes!

Have been going around doing rounds for Recruitment Drive today. Note to self - Bizad canteen is filled with students from all faculties except biz on Tuesday afternoon at 12. Hahah... Out of 20 groups of people we asked, only 2 were bizad students! Gosh... So it wasn't that successful, but I tried. :)

Oh yeah. Met this group of really loser guys. I swear, I walked away thinking I've never seen bigger losers in my life. I mean, I was talking to them about the recruitment, and they don't even show basic courtesy! I mean, if you weren't interested, you could just say you are not interested in the standing comms and FOP right? Oh no, it didn't occur to them that it'll be polite to do that. They had to throw each other sly little looks that scream 'I am not interested in this, but, hey, just let her continue talking, for the fun of it.' Losers. Please. Who died and made you King of losers? *Rolls eyes

Anyhow, response for the acad comm has been very good! Better than I've expected. In fact, I think acad got the most hits! :D:D:D Oh also, this girl smsed me (my number was on the poster) and asked me about the comm. People are really interested! I hope to assemble the whole comm soon... projects are coming in, and we've to start work! :D:D And nothing is better than working with people who are genuinely interested!

*Christine gets all excited and jumpy-around-y

Oh yeah, also did some publicity stuff for FOP... work's gonna start soon!

Arts Canteen!

Have to throw in something about the wonderful arts canteen. Think Cher and I are going to hang out more there... I mean, it's fun to hang out at biz cause you see a lot of people you know, but at arts canteen... there's this a-lot-of-people-vibe. Haha... or something like that. And I saw a lot of people I know there! So it's fun... haha.

Envious

Sorry can't think of a catchier heading. Cher and I are going to the Bizcomm bash at Zouk this Sat! I haven't been to Zouk before... so yeah. It'll be fun. Maybe should get the rest of the JC class down. Am going to be quite busy this Sat. Bizcomm in the afternoon, then JC class hanging out at some bar, then the bash at Zouk.

It'll be so fun!

Hahaha... :D

I laughed out loud when I saw this.
You are an idiot!

State of mind

is good right now. :) Am happy as have just done up email address stuff, replied to emails, mp3s all arranged nicely. And Holly Valance's 'State of mind' playing in the bg. This is good.

Had actually wanted to wake up early this morn and start early; make full use of my free day etc, do lots of stuff and be fufiled etc. But woke up only at 10, so had breakfast and started working on replying emails etc etc. Oh yeah, replied smses too :) So yeah. Productive morning!

And got in touch with photographer guy re:sponsorship. Yay.

Am heading out right now to get some school stuff and food! :D:D Maybe will have lunch first.

Realise is a very happy thing when your life is in order. :D:D:D
Today is fairy skirt day!

Went to The Big O with the SA crew today. Was Sam's bday and had lunch with her, SL, PS and Ming. Was quite hungry as didn't have lunch and guess what. I ordered this really nice sounding thing called Pan fried codfish or sth like that. SL and Sam's food came first, and both looked and smelled delish. So I was having very high hopes of mine.

When my came, it was practically a jaw dropping experience. It looked good. As in you know... prepared by French chef kind of food. Tower food... you know? Stacked up with garnish and gravy poured over it.

Crap, it looked very good. But it isn't what I want! I don't want gourmet food! I want something unhealthy, fried, roasted, lots of calories.

Anyway it looked and tasted like steamed fish. Bleeeah. Nonetheless, it was good steamed fish, I must add.

Oh yeah! Wore my new skirt today. Is v pretty and makes me feel very pretty haha... Love my new skirt, so fairy like. :)

Okok... just home from the wedding dinner, quite tired. Shall update tmr morning or sth.

Oh yes! FINALLY! I have a free day tomorrow! Been ages since I had a free day. Oh goody, I wonder what I should do. Read the rest of Austen maybe? Or clean up the mess that is my room? ****PONDER**** Crap. I have to clean up. Blaaah.

Friday, September 19, 2003

My life is starting to move faster...

God I feel so bad.

Due to schoolwork and MC commitments, I've been neglecting my family and some of my old friends.

Last couple of days, Kok messaged me. 3 times, and I did not reply to any of them. Alex called and messaged me, I didn't reply; the call I ended after a few minutes. Ping asked me to go along for the Shears Bridge walk thing, I didn't get back to her, and she had to keep calling, smsing me to ask me if I were still going. I start to reply messages hours after I received them, and sometimes I don't reply at all. And I promised Weisheng that I'll try to get him a photographer. I haven't got any. I have been missing bizcom meetings, I have not helped much in planning the bash at all.

I've been trying to get my act together, but it's like a cumulative thing you know? You forget to print your lecture notes for one week and it cumulates.

Okay enough whining :D

Was first MC meeting yesterday. 3 hours :), but it was focused and non digressive, so a lot was accomplished. My life is going to be moving pretty fast from now on, so yup! Getting exciiiiited :D:D It's like, an exhilaration kind of thing. Chaos and excitement drives me :D I think we have to start working closer as a team, I mean my comm. Yantyng, Ken, Larry and me, and we shall start on Monday. Yup. And super charged up with energy now... Haha.

After meeting went to eat with Larry and WeiHerng. And we were discussing about the new MacDonald's marketing strategy. Haha... Too serious, even during dinner.

Fujitsu guy!

Oh oh!!! I have to talk about Fujitsu guy! Brought my lappie to school yesterday to configure with Cher. (Oh had lunch at Grinning Gecko. Nice food. Loves Orange strawberry lemonade) And then we went over to the PC Co-op to look for the Fujitsu service centre. So I was telling Fujitsu guy that I didn't buy my laptop from school, but can he help me configure the wireless thing? He played around with my laptop for a while, and in the end told me I've to reboot the computer (or something). So, yeah.

Later when we left, I told Cher, 'Fujitsu guy is freaking cute'. And Cher was like 'Yah yah! I think so too!'. Haha... both of us were so eyeing him all the time... Haha. Maybe subconsciously flirting too. Heh heh.

Okay. Val tells me that to send Fujitsu guy a thank you card re: wireless configuration would be too stalkerish. Hm. I don't know. It'll be perfectly normal, imo. Larry agrees.

I'm kidding! Am not a stalker style person and to do something like that (ie give a thank you card) would be quite scary.

Got to rush. Byeee!

Thursday, September 18, 2003

Yeesss! Again!

Have just talked to Cher. We are going to the Envy bash!!! :D:D:D Maybe with Gwen as well. Hee. Maybe will ask Yvonne if want to hang out with us. Yes, will be all girl group, no guys! Okie maybe just for a while, will not be home too late, cause will have 3 tests next week. Actually come to think of it, is obligation that one must go to the bash as am bizcomm member after all. Must keep this fact inconspicuous cause bizad mc might not take kindly to that fact.

Anyhow. Have been pretty long since last clubbed, since Jam and Hop at NB. Actually am not a regular clubber, but like to hang out and talk. Also like to dance as is form of relaxation. Yes. Is not the sleazy (or whatever) aspect of clubbing that draws self.

Also constantly clubbing with people you know is not fun. Maybe is fun at first, but clubbing with the same group of people... well even if you don't get tired of them (I know I don't really ;)) but fear they might get tired of you. Yup. Last couple of bashes have been hanging out with people we know. Now we get to hang out with people we don't (hope), so should be more fun. Element of uncertainty maybe?

Oh fun. Can't wait.

IVLE totally forgotten!! Is calm and happy and excited. Whee!
Yeessss!

Have just started a bit on computing programming assignment for today. Is marvellous feeling when realise can go to class with pre-knowledge on how to do assignment and can make programs without consulting others. Must endevour to do this for other subjects too, even though may dislike them like Financial Accounting.

Okay, will just check IVLE again for for confirmation.

Gaahhh!!!!

IVLE doesn't accept my username and password! What the hell --

Is confirmed. IVLE has decided to lock self out of website. Good. Now where on earth am I going to get my homework? Anyway must be calm. Maybe too much negative energy is surrounding website, that's why it rejected password.

Calm.

StupidBloodyWebsiteWhatIsWrongWithItIBetterNotBe
TheOnlyOneExperiencingProblemsOrSomeoneWillGetIt


Have just realised, also, that assignment that have completed is for lab session today. Not for tutorial. Does not like stupid IT1008 system where they have tutorial assignments, lab assignments and then 2 weeks assignments as well. Is confusing.

IVLE still doesn't accept. Screw it.

AROUTVNUT8yrt;eauiryv;eairyhv;awor aRI ESFTVOIA AIPESRw;ayrbvlaeiyfv gireyvh elsa.yhv

IVLE is stupid.

Anyway, must be calm. Have MC meeting today which is likely to drag on till quite late. Must not go there in bad mood cause will leave bad impression. GraHHh. Think will go eat some breakfast and have some coffee.
Today...

What's wrong with me? Suddenly am filled with a sense of finality, closure. Like this is it. I don't know what it is about. Maybe a nostalgia pertaining to the rain.

It must be. Or else it's PMS. (except cannot be PMS)

Oh well. Currently started on Northanger Abbey Jane Austen. I think it'll be great to be born in that era. It feels so romantic and proper. ;)

Classes today again. Didn't eat with my usual group of friends; we are usually on our own on Thursdays. Heh. Ate with Joy, Steve and Diana and some other people. (Oh yeah. The jiao zi from the Beijing store isn't too bad.) Diana asked Ken a very weird question (imo anyway). She was like 'How do you keep your body in such a good shape?' Can tell that Ken was quite stunned. Haha... He asked me if anyone in my OG constitutes 'in good shape'. KaiAn came into mind... haha. Okie, to most of the guys he'd be the definition of that. I think I beg to differ. More on that later... we were discussing that over dinner.

Went to Holland V for dinner. Weisheng said something funny. 'I can't wait to see the day when all your muscles turn to fats.' Haha... Guess who was that directed to... Heh.

Oh yah! Found an entire stash of FOC photos in the clubroom PC! :D:D V excited over them as can look through them and reminisce about what happend in style of - 'Hey do you remember this? That was so... funny! Hahaha...You were so stupid looking!'.

Anyhow. Realise self was thinner and had nicer hair during camp. (Insert whines about cutting hair short). Blah... Actually in spite of that, felt that in camp was very shabby. Maybe camp brings out shabbiness in self...

Oh well, got class tmr and have to lug lappie to school to get things fixed. Oh yeah! Am having lunch at the Gecko place which is quite funky. Night!
Lucid dreaming. Not

Last night, had one of the worst nightmares ever had in entire life. Was so bad that woke up gasping a little and burrowing under bedsheets.

I was in school, standing outside one of the seminar rooms, waiting for one of my friends so we can walk together. Then this really sallow, pale guy walked past me. I could only see the back view... he was of medium build, fair to the extend of creepy sallowness, and is slightly bald. Just as I was thinking that this guy is quite the weirdo, when guy turned over and got shock of life. Guy was Uncle-Fester-esque. (Uncle Fester in Addam's Family is actually quite funny looking, but that's because you know he's not human, so for a non-human, he's okay looking. But if a human were to look like that. Man. It's freaky) And the look. Scary. Like crazed and obsessed.

So I waved that incident out of my head. And looked to the left. And to my outmost horror, freak-creep-guy was standing behind the pillar, head and body peeking out from behind it, staring at me. Crazed and obsessive. Then a maniacal grin. Like he might kill.

I ran. I didn't see him follow. I got to another building. And there he was again. Looking out from another pillar. The same look. The same intention.

And everywhere I ran, he would appear somewhere near there. From behind a pillar.

Somehow I can feel him getting closer physically. Like gaining on me.

In the end I called Mum on the cell, asking her to come.

Then I woke up. My first instinct was to duck under the sheets. Then I realised it was stupid. And thank goodness I didn't switch on the air conditioning; with the door closed, the sense of claustophobia would have freaked me out, I swear.

Blah.

I simply got to have this

Sheet Music

If it costs $15.96 at PS Yamaha, I'd have bought it faster than you can say 'Josh', unfortunately it costs about 40 bucks. Yamaha is a bloodsucker.
I think.

Slugs are homeless snails
Somehow I feel... that I cannot pull this off. I mean, I don't even know where to start. Events that are supposed to be coming up, some Finance Seminar, then the Academic week, and so many more. Where do I start? How do I approach them? How on earth do I write them a proposal?

God I need to get my act together soon.

Today was a quite blah day. Had one lecture in the morn and then an urgent meeting in the clubroom re:the recruitment drive. It's quite a mess right now... the whole thing. I wonder if 17th can even get our act together. We are a very new and fresh committee.

In fact I was so blur and tired that when Johnny called the clubroom and I answered the phone, I thought he said he was looking for Johnny. So I called out to the entire clubroom to ask if J was there, everyone was like No... (Obviously) Then I said 'Oh Johnny's not in, can I take a message?'. Then he was like 'Er, I'm Johnny'. And I was like Realisation! 'Oh you are Johnny....' And then the entire room burst out laughing at me. I'm talking about 20 people. Hahaha...... Maybe I should get some rest.

Okie got to do some homework.

Tuesday, September 16, 2003

Amused :)

Something amusing happened yesterday. Actually...2 things. Was at HSS library photocopying notes when this person came up to me and asked me if he could borrow my cashcard to photocopy and pay me back in cash. So I was telling him I'm okay with it, but I only have about 27cents left in my card. So he laughed and said, oh okay. Then he turned around and took out his own cashcard to photocopy. I was like, what on earth?

Oh yeah, then later I was walking up the stairs to study, then while walking up the stairs overtook this person. Then all of a suddenly he sprinted up and knocked into me. As in really knocked kind of knocked. (Does that make much sense? Does that?) That's so rude! Turned over to try to glare him down, then realised was a nerd-type, pushing up his glasses, and apologised. Bleah.
Bleeeah

Sleepiness is a sign of bad health. Yeah.

I was so tired today! For the entire day was yawning and can't really concentrate. Even during Marketing lecture... which should be really interesting and stuff right? I mean, the subject itself is so alive. I only really 'woke up' when Dr. Cheng played the video about Airwalk. I think the adverts are cool, at least they are not as poserish as the new MacDonald's one... I mean, Macs trying to market itself as hip and funky? Er.... *Roll eyes. Oh yeah. So I was saying... Only woke up during then... And was looking out for Omg so that I can point him out to Cher. Val saw him yesterday... her verdict - Funky. :) Oh yeah, Shirley agrees :):)

Anyhow... was a pretty slack day. Went over to YanTyng's hall at Temasek to talk abot Academic stuff. It was like the first meeting of the Acad people... Me, Tyng, Larry and Ken. Pretty cool, I think we can pull this off. Talked about changing names... haha. Scholastic Committee anyone? :D

Oh... was walking to the bus stop with Larry, as he is taking the same bus as me, and apparently some of his friends saw him or something. Then later when we were on the bus, they called him and asked him where he is, and who I was and stuff. Hahhaha :D That's so funny... One can practically tell where they are going with those questions. Hee... Hah. So childish. Hope they don't get the wrong idea or something, it's so embarrassing.

Oh yeah! SL bought me Orange Muffins from Coffee Club today! :D:D Was delish, thanks SL! :) Must treat her back someday... Haven't seen her in a long long long time...

Loves orange muffins :)

Lucid Dreaming

A little something before I head off for school.

Just borrowed a book called 'The Art of Looking Sideways', this compilation of really interesting subjects, concepts and thoughts. There are several intriguing theories and such... like the one under 'Dreams'. Apparently Celia Green, a (something, insert occupation starting with psy- ending with -ist here :D), from the Institite of Psychophysical Studies Oxford did this study of dreaming patterns and found out that to a certain extend, we can actually control what we dream of!

There are 3 test subjects, and all agreed to 'meet' in their dreams, the venue being a park. That night, two of the test subjects dreamt that they met each other in the park, and while waiting for the third subject, started chatting. The next day, both recorded the exact same dream. When the third subject arrived (not in the dream, in real life), he apologised, cause he forgot to make an 'appointment' before he slept, therefore not turning up for the meeting.

Wonder if that's real... I mean, I can be quite gullible at times. :D. Maybe will borrow the book to take a read.
A matter of left and right :D

Went to watch a movie on Saturday... Turn Left, Turn Right with the Daer crew (Me, Val, Cheryl, Larry, WeiHerng, WeiSheng) and Zhengwei and his friends. Had dinner at the Taka steps with Val, Cheryl, Larry, WeiHerng, WeiSheng and KaiAn. It was... weird, but very fun eating there, haha. I used to think that people sitting there are like... oh well, it's fun sitting there and chatting.

Haha... Such romantic movie, too bad I'm not watching it with someone special... heh. I mean, my friends are special to me, but not special 'special', get what I mean? Hee... It's a beautiful movie, but the ending is a little... er... over the top. IMO, it spoils the beauty of the movie and the whole concept of it. Takeshi Kaneshiro... I was never charmed by him, still am not, but must agree that he has beautiful features.

We then went to eat supper at Swensen's @ Crown Prince. Had yummy Gold Rush... Oh yeah. Something embarrassing happened there. Was wearing my butterfly heels, and was walking around in Swensens, and slipped! :\ So embarrassing... luckily it wasn't too bad, like a huge crash or anything, and Val grabbed me before I really fell flat, but it was a traumatic experience. :p

Hm. Later KaiAn drove us back. Haha.... he lives in Toh Payoh! But Larry asked him to drive me back, so yeah, KaiAn's quite nice also. Anyway, he drove me back, and Larry vied for the gentleman of the year award by insisting to walk me to the lift, which was less than 100 metres away from where the car was, and very brightly lighted... Haha. Well, I can't complain; and it's very nice of him to do that. So, yeah.

Oh yeah! Later I heard from WeiHerng that they took a wrong turn as they wanted to go to BKE. Instead of turning right, they turned left, and ended up at Jurong, BoonLay area. Hahahahhaha... :D:D I think KaiAn reached home at 3 like that. Poor thing, I think he's never offering to drive us home again... heh.
An excerpt in W.H Auden's 'Funeral Blues' goes like this -

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood,
For nothing now can ever come to any good.


I like it. There is a sense of loss and despair, yet being so resolute at the same time. I like the way beauty (moon, stars) is being constrasted with such a firm, resolute tone. It does not kill the sentimentality of the poem, but gives it a realistic twist. There is a sense of weariness, like Auden's been through a lot, and seen too much to be too mushy. It's like Auden knew that there is no use dragging the pain, it's better to let it all end now.

Christine is back. With the same URL but a new skin. :D:D Guess I still needed somewhere to write my thoughts.

My ‘hiatus’ started about 3 weeks ago, I think. Before things got really busy. Well… straight after that was my Jam and Hop, which I was involved in.

Okay… a short recap of that time, depending on what I can remember. Actually these are what I recorded on my hp calender.. a lot of funky things may have happened, but didn’t get recorded down.

14th Aug - How to lose your voice in one night I lost my voice at JnH. I don’t know how. All I know was that I was sick in the morning and by the time I got home from clubbing my voice is totally gone. Didn’t really stay that long cause was quite tired. I went home at 130… that’s pretty early. Hung out mostly with the OG and some seniors.

16th Aug - Cher’s bday celebrationNext was Cheryl’s bday celebration at her club. Almost the entire OG… Cher, Val, me, Kai An, Larry, Stella, Robin, Jayce, Keng Leong, Wei Herng, Ming Yao, Wei Sheng and Jayce were there J We played billiards; it’s Cher’s treat. We got her a watch, a pink one naturally :D Haha… I totally have no idea how it works either. I’ve just started playing pool, billiards is one step up. Anyway, it was fun. Later we drove to Suntec to have dinner at Kenny Rogers. Urm… then we talked a bit then went home.

17th Aug - Straight! Went to SL’s house to play around with her new hair straightening machine :D

19th Aug – So I’m a bimbo… Went to school early to jog with Cheryl apparently, but since I lost my voice, I didn’t. Sat at the track and painted my nails. Got teased mercilessly by WeiSheng, Wei Herng because of that. Hahaha…

20th Aug – Addicted to manicures Cher’s bday. She treated Val and me to a French manicure at a nail spa… that was really sweet of her. J While their nails took 15 mins to complete, mine took 30… because I got a really good and meticulous manicurist…:) Oh yeah, balloting for tutorial results are out… and we were frantic about it. Luckily I got a friend in every tutorial group.

22nd Aug – Ooh. Pageant Dinner and Dance at Conrad. Me, Val and Felina hung out at Cher’s house before that. Oh no… we met Robin at Bedok first, then we went to Cher’s house. Her house is really pretty :) And she has puppy!!! It’s adorable. Hm. DnD was fun… saw a lot of people there. Oh yeah, supported Larry and KaiAn for the pageant thingy. Larry got 3rd and KaiAn didn’t get placed… Can’t say the results are very satisfactory, but well that’s life.

23rd Aug – Shop! And Chocolate Bath I think I went out with Sam the next day. She was shopping at Ikea, and I wanted to whine to her about him. So I met her there. Yushan was supposed to meet her, so embarrassing, like I’m barging in on them kind of thing. Then we went to Bugis. Hm. Can’t really remember what we did. Walked around and looked at stuff… haha. Oh yeah. The Natural Source rules :)

25th Aug – Snoop! Val had some very interesting stuff to tell me. :D haha… Had to go for nomination meeting for Management Committee. I wondered if I knew what I am getting myself into. Oh yeah… tutorials started today. Marketing class rules! I love marketing cause it’s the only module I can do without forcing myself to study. It’s actually enjoyable to study. My marketing group is quite funky, with 2 cross faculty people from Industrial Design and one Arts girl and ZhengWei. Tutor is Elison; she’s cool, more like a friend than tutor :)

26th Aug - We took a photo on the MRT! I dressed up nicely today. Real nicely. And he wasn’t in school. Hmpf! Oh well, had interview sort of thingy with Junming to talk about the MC. And found out more about it… I really wonder if I know what I am getting myself into. It looks to be a lot of work, I hope I can cope with all that’s happening. It would be really different from JC. Then met Sam for Freaky Friday , which is a lot better than I expected it to be! It’s smart and funny. Oh yeah… Sam brought her cam and we took a photo on the MRT! How weird is that! Hahaha… I think people were thinking we were the weirdest girls. Hahah.

27th Aug – Please come to school when I’m wearing something nice. Thank you very much I’m pretty sure I did something today. I’m very sure. But I can’t remember what. Oh yeah, just when I’m wearing sloppy clothes, he comes to school. Why can’t he come to school when I’m wearing something nice? Why? We wanted to go swimming, but didn’t in the end cause we were… too lazy? Hahah :p

28th Aug - Crashed and burned. Put it all behind me. Open Dialogue today. Ask anybody. Cher, Val, Larry, WeiSheng. I put in so much effort into my speech and when I started speaking I went slack jawed. It was that bad. I shall not go into details. I’ve never got stage fright before, what’s happening now? In secondary school I had to go on stage almost every day! It must be because quite a lot were staked on this speech. I was hoping it didn’t affect my votes.

29th Aug - I’m not Venus Williams nor Anna Kournikova. So I can’t play tennis well, and I don’t look gorgeous playing it too. Hee… We played tennis today – Me, Larry, WeiHerng, Val and WeiSheng. It was quite fun… But I wasn’t very good at it. I was alright at first, but got worse gradually… haha. I felt so bad, cause I was playing doubles with Larry against WeiSheng and WeiHerng, and they won us. Hai… WeiHerng and Larry then went to eat dinner with me. Yup.

30th – 31st Aug - Camp Calibre for all the MC nominees. It’s too long to recap. Let’s just say it’s fun, with underlying tension to perform. Oh… one of the fun-est thing they got us to do is to give us 2 hours and $150 to plan a farewell dinner for 36 people. I love to do stuff like that; like a tight deadline, and loads of work to be done. Oh the adrenaline! And the midnight run in the rain… which ended up in Fong Seng :p Fun fun...
