Rainy Day

I just finished my work ( the last day of work FYI) and got off the train when it started raining heavily.

These few days, the rain doesn’t seem to stop, thought the monsoon season was over but I guess not. I love the rain, it’s so cooling but the thing is, I hate the water getting into my shoes or the feeling of it on my legs. It is very uncomfortable. You know, I’d love to try and walk in the pouring rain. Only tried once but I don’t think the rain was that heavy…

Dead Bat

i remembered that last year in the school hall, my friends and i saw a dead bat on the floor during the morning assembly. When the morning bell rang 23/08/2010 at around 7:15am, my friends and i went into the school hall to assemble along with all the other schoolmates. we took our usual seats on the floor- me at the front i think- when we saw the bat. We thought it was sleeping until we noticed it doesn't seem to be moving or breathing. my friends tried to scare me by pushing me toward it until i glared at them but they still giggled. Suddenly, school prefects started streaming into the hall to the piano area situated in front of us at the side of the hall. (that is where they usually gather) the girls didn't notice the dead bat and had their shoes so close to the bat. i kept cringing whenever they swept the bat side to side unconciously while doing their duties. I couldn't take it anymore and cried out that there's a bat. The 2 girls who kept stepping on the bat's wings finally noticed. they shrieked of course. I was relieved when the dead bat wasn't being stepped on anymore. In the end, the vice-principal who was luckily passing by saw what the commotion was about and got a newspaper to pick up the bat to the (sadly) rubbish bin.

Tiring Job...

today was another day at work, the 5th day actually. currently, i've earned only $180... quite little but it'll have to do for me to buy new clothes for poly. this job is extremely tiring and you will get muscle aches by the end of the day. let me now explain the process of my job. the first thing i have to do when i arrive is fold boxes. not just a dozen or two but 500, yes. today, thank goodness, was only 400.

there was a saying i heard of once, it goes something like this: if you can't get out of it, get into it. and i did.. i tried to make a castle out of these boxes but my friend/co-worker kept 'tearing' down my castle. so i sped up my pace to make more boxes. I learnt my lesson  though because my left arm right now is aching like crazy. after that, about 30 minutes later before i even finshed making half of the 500, a big truck carrying MANY boxes will arrive. my 2 friends and i will then have to move the boxes and place the 12 kueh lapis onto carts. righty oh! ther's 12 kueh lapis in a box. the number of boxes? about 60 boxes today... i felt like dyng right there alright.

see the background? thats how big one box is. then, you had to open the box neatly and flatly like the top right hand corner in the picture. the kueh lapis were on the table today because there were not enough carts.
  yup, these are the carts alright. more then these. after the kueh lapis had dried- because they are icy when taken out from the boxes- we have to take the kueh lapis and pack them into the white boxes. this whole process really tires me out. thank goodness my 2 friends and i agreed with the boss that we're only working for 1 week before we started the job. tomorrow then, is the 2nd last day. hallelujah!

I got into Integrated Events and Project Management!!!!!! YES!!!!!! it's fantastic! i woke up around 7+am cuz my handphone was vibrating. then i saw some gibberish and immediately went to the words in capital letters"....... INTEGRATED EVENTS AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT ....... under 2011 JAE" I was stumped and then i shrieked. it was such a great feeling! then i smsed everyone from my class wad course i got into and asked them what they got. it was soo fun to know where all of us went. though i'm quite sad that everything is changing so fast, i'm glad that all of us are moving toward the future without regrets (except for some) fate is a really strange thing... 2 girls from my class who hate each other are admitted to the same course of the same polytechnic. I guess fate wants them to resolve their problems?

Nature

i love nature. the way you feel the soft grass under your feet, the wind blowing against your face, brushing your hair. it's a great gift to mankind :) so when i see a beautiful flower or an incredibly beautiful scenery, i'll capture what i see through my camera. Thus, i would like to share what i see of the world.

Prince Phillip

yes, prince phillip from Sleeping Beauty... i love prince phillip, he's soooo romantic! so decisive that when he met aurora he decided straight away that she is his woman. quickly, he annuls the marriage arrangement with the neighbouring kingdom's daughter to be with the 'peasant girl' aurora who is actually his betrothed!!! they were destined to be together!!! :D another plus is that prince phillip is so handsome, sooo sexy!!! and his voice is sooooo manly!!! i LOOOVE PRINCE PHILLIP!!!!!!!!! He dances and sings and is very strong... and he is witty! prince phillip: "well don't you remember? we've met b4, you said so yourself, once upon a dream :)" sigh... what happened to guys nowadays...
 

Course

in 2 weeks' time, i will know what course i will be going into. hope i will get into the events mgmt course. quite excited about it already! hope i will be able to start planning events and stuff... though the modules i will be taking seems hard, i will survive :) going against the currents will only make you stronger right? also, this course do not need math so i am perfectly safe. i am A okay... cuz i hate math to the point of death... i love humanities, it is a very interesting subject. well, i do hope i will get the course... i already did not get the results i wanted for my o levels, at least let me get into the course i want to get into

Freedom

When the 'o' levels ended about 1-2months ago, all i wanted was to have fun, freedom as i would call it after the stressful examination. so here is the list of things i wanted to do:
1) stay in the library all day and read about things i don't know
2) watch 2 movies in one day
3) learn mandarin/ improve my mandarin
4) go swimming at the new sports complex that just opened in my neighbourhood

Unfortunately, the only thing after the approx 2 months, the only thing i managed to do was the first one: stay in the library all day. actually, not even that. well! it's not my fault the library is soo cold. i couldn't even take 2 hours in that damned place! the last time i tried to study there, i wore 2 jackets and socks and i still felt cold. i left that hellhole about an hour later... it's either the place is negative something degrees celcius or there's something wrong with me WHICH thank you very much cannot be :) so somebody should march up to that woman at the counter in the library and raise that issue to her.

Now, for my next point. i will do the movies thing as soon as nice movies comes out. cuz seriously, if a good movie comes out and that's the only good one, what other movie choice do i have? i am totally not gonna choose a horror film cuz if so, i'll b out of there 5 minutes after the movie starts. now that just leaves me with boring neutral movies like 'duplicity'... which by the way, made me fall asleep even b4 i reached the second disc when i rented the movie the other day. yes, fell ASLEEP. it's duplicity alright, i felt so deceived by the trailer of that darn movie. my money? totally wasted...

On the topic of mandarin, once i have a dictionary, then i'll start... really it's like when i wanted to read a simple sentence like 'i left my wallet at the department store' in mandarin, all i managed was ' i blank my wallet blank blank blank'... so till i buy a dictionary, mandarin will have to wait.

Now, the last point. oh come on... swimming is exercise and exercise means time consuming which means commitment which also contradicts my whole intention of having freedom. Since i have a high metabolism rate as my sis calls it, exercise (sorry swimming pool) will have to wait also.

There! those are my reasonable explanations for not fulfilling my list of things to do (yeah right, who the hell am i kidding). At least mine is realistic unlike my sister. i saw her list and 'bake a cheesecake' is totally the opposite of realistic (we don't have a workable oven, just a microwave) it's been 2 years since she wrote that but i don't see that cake anywhere.

Change

i hate change. 5 years i've been in secondary school, it's been my second home and now it's time to let go. i didn't expect this day to come so soon. i didn't expect it to even happen. i still remember my first year there. i felt so foreign, that i did not belong. then things turned out to be better, i met new friends, the most caring teachers i've ever met in my whole life and had the most life changing experiences. though there are some bitches that i hate to even think about, the 5 years i had there, i will never change a single thing. but now it has come to this day where it's time to leave everything behind and begin the next chapter of my life. i will miss you, mdm pua especially. you've been like my 2nd mother i every weekday have to come 'home' to :) i have no idea where i will be 10 years from now but i do hope that when i'm there, i'll still call **** (that's my school name which is disclosed due the personal privacy) my home. i will never forget the experiences i had there. from friends to guys to crushes to betrayals to birthday parties... i'll never ever forget it. it is true then huh? that people hate change... but what else can we do other than move forward? i love my family there. the teachers and my classmates. my ridiculous, crazy, childish, stubborn yet charming, open, amiable, jokey, witty, creative classmat.. no, family. my wonderful, wonderful family.
i will come back so until then, i'll hang on.

... i will come home..

decisions, decisions...

i have to select the course in which i want to go in. i have no idea what i want... though i think i want to be a wedding planner in the future like what monica geller in F.R.I.E.N.D.S did in phoebe buffay's wedding. i saw it as interesting to do what she did. so i put my first choice as integrated events and project management... that is a route towards my goal :) my second choice is arts business management. it's all about managing the Arts.. the first year is relaxing but the 2nd and 3rd year's modules became quite weird... i still didn't know what i want as my first choice but put that events management stuff as my first choice in the end. the arts i can entertain myself during the free time :) but then i still had 10 more choices to choose. in the end, i took almost 5 hours deciding the choices carefully in case i didn't get either of my first two choices... 2 weeks later, i'll get the results. on second thoughts maybe i should have put my first choice as the arts biz mgmt? argh... i've already submitted my choices, no second thoughts now! stay focused... arts... events... arts... wedding.. yes, wedding! arts...

Perspective

just got my o level results on monday... not quite sure if i'm happy about it or not.. on the good side, i got A1 for my combined humanities which i worked so hard for. it gave me the most stress for the entire examinations. however, on the other hand, i got a B3 for my EM. i tried EM o level2009 and got a B3 so this time, the 2010 olevel EM i slaved to get an A but when i got my results and looked at my EM, i saw a B3... i cried of course. it was like everything i did was for nothing. it is alright though... everything worked out alright. it could've been worse. i've gotten an agg of 10 while the person i hate most in school got a 14. IN YOUR FACE!!! Anyways.. this part of my life is over, it's time to move forward... i still have a lot of things i have not seen and experience, there's still a long way to go ;) (though i'm still quite sad about my results but hey, it's not everything. i'll get over it eventually, it'll take some time)

Goodbye 2010!

Today as everyone would know, is the last day of the year. The last day of 2010! i'll miss it a lot. Much more ever than 2009. For 2010, my class was more bonded with each other since it's our 3rd year together as a family. i will miss them a lot when this ends. Although there are some bi****s i'm thankful that i'll never see again, it'll still be difficult to let go. it's been just three years but it feels more like three days. there were many painful experiences and betrayals but there are the good things like making new friends, succeeding academically and having many life changing experiences. i guess i ended this year with quite a bang. :) but all good things will always have to come to an end. i'll graduate next year and enter poly as a junior again. i love being a senior, felt important in some way or another... i guess i must embrace the last few hours i have left till the new year... i love you 2010!!!!
