second day of craziness (ytd was the first.)
temsem shooting at ecp. waited, waited and waited so long for the 2 guys to reach and to change. it's apparent how vanity applies to guys too. *shakes head in disdain* they dressed up as uncles and chuan was the ultimate uncle can! he wore this o-biang belt and sunglasses and his actions were hilarious. lol. and omg. nazri didn't know tt i was from ngee ann, until today!
anyway i took some really cool pictures from the jetty :)
filming ended around 6+ and we cabbed down to marina bay to catch the ndp rehearsal. desperate situation called for desperate measures. had no time aft filiming to have a proper dinner. so we got bread from breadtalk. was so hungry tt i finished my 2 bread in like a few bites. unglam, i know. but i was really hungry!
when we settled down at the venue, it was alr the finale. how lame! :/ but as usual, the guys, not forgetting their purpose, did really stupid stuff which made us laugh.
the finale. (i know my camera sucks.)
me and chuan emo-ing.
wanted to have post-dinner at marina sq but we didn't. so they suggested pool. felt kind of bored when i heard that but i still went. i actually sucked at pool. i can't even hit the ball properly la. but aft some rounds of tutorial by kevan (he was really good), i finally got the hang of it! :) it was fun and u get this sense of satisfaction everytime the ball gets into the hole.
next time ask me along when u want to go pooling, i want to try again!
and then someone suggested playing para. LOL. being a first time para dancer, i danced like a robot la. haha. kevan challenged me and i won! lol lol. alright, spotlight on chuan. u shld have seen the way he danced la! it was as though he swallowed a whole truckload full of pills. he was freestyling his 'dance' moves all the way in a very, err- enthu way. oh. ya. i'm supposed to spread this: chuan, the para king aka sakura chuan (chan). haha.
ran thru citylink mall cause we didn't want to miss the last train back. and PHEW, luckily we ran! when we reached the station, the board was flashing: last train to pasir ris- 1 min. ohmygod! ran like crazy and made it just on time :) caught the last 293 bus (ohmy, everyth's so last min today!) with chuan and he sent me home aft tt. thanks a million :D
and woah. i applaud u if i read the entire post :)

phoenix downs are like so common in FFXII. when u kill a monster, u get some loot, say, an ice magicite. AND. sometimes, as a complementary, u get a phoenix down too! i find it so bizarre. i mean, aren't they supposed to be like, rare? u kill a monster, u get a loot item + a tuft of phoenix down. u break a jar, u get a phoenix down. u break another jar, u get another phoenix down!
LOL. sorry for the randomness above!
temsem workshop in the afternoon. was really boring :/
ended bout 6+ and i rushed over to tm to meet the girls. AND I GOT BLAMED LIKE CRAZY LA. sigh :'( sad right. dined at pizzahut which was exp and not filling. but we had a wild time reminiscing about the good ol' times :) our outbursts of laughter and weird actions must have made us look like a bunch of lunatics. haha. but it was great fun :) went mac and huiing joined. with her around, more crap was generated. lol. and then they started ignoring me because of some stuff. sigh. SAD :*( firstly, i got blamed for their hunger. secondly, i got blamed for refusing to tell them some stuff. but nonetheless, i still love them :D we should really meet up more often as a complete grp (there were only 5 of us present).
i'll try to get the other pics real soon :)
i miss KYLIE aka ex-dear sitting beside me in sec one, her ability to remain lame and calm at the same time, not acknowledging me as her dear and her persistent to call me deer instead. i miss STACIA aka sweetheart's blur look and her pretense to be angry with me.
i miss HUIYING aka beta-particle aka huiing's loudness, lame jokes, endless crave for food and her imitation of aaron kwok. i miss SHERLIN aka sleeping pie aka wang-tai's sleeping in class, seductive voice when calling me and her craziness over zax wong & 5566.
i miss JASMINE aka striking aka high frequency aka hikaru's high pitched voice, taking the bus home with me and getting crazy over ouran high. i miss HUANGYI aka loohuang aka lame gay aka hippopotamus aka gypsy's crazy laughter and actions, the way she tugs at her hair when stressed up, the way she plays the wrong note on her liuqin, the way she goes against me on purpose and her craze over gerold. i miss GIANHUI aka hogian aka dear aka bean pole's sitting beside me in class, getting crazy over alien and dentist with me and also helping me make huangyi jealous.
those were the times i'll never forget :)

BEFORE I GO..
a song from FFXII: Kiss Me Goodbye. by Angela Aki.
i couldn't resist the temptation to watch phantom of the opera. ahhh, it's getting better each time i watch it. esp after the musical :) it's genius how the composer managed to create the link from one song to another and the transition being smooth and flawless. beauitful :D
heh. and now i'm yearning for my PS2. bye all!

physics and maths were so much better than chem :) made up for the two day ago's demoralization.
headed to white sands with the nas people to discuss bout the outing. but it was so not productive and made me tired instead. dragged myself to tamp with shan to find kelvin and jas to get some stuff before heading back home! :) and finally.. sleep!
i'm going to coop myself at home tmr and slack like crazy. FFXII, here i come! :D

does the fall of rain signifies another gloomy day?
consultation with mrs tng in the morn. haha i find this funny. weilin reached early so she had to attend morning assembly with the rest. sounds fine yeah? but the main point was that she was in shorts and flipflops! haha speaking of being sloppily dressed, people were giving us that whyareyoudressedlikethis look whenever they saw us. so malunising! ANYWAY, back to topic. mogu left, leaving me and padpad to study. ohgosh joined us too :) 2nd consulation failed because mrs tng wasn't free :( so we waited for nth!
rewarded myself with a cup of bubbletea at the end of the day :)
I just needed a comforting statement. But i got none.

never in my life had i felt so helpless during a paper before.
when i was at qn 15, the examiner announced that there was only 15 mins more. and i started panicking like crazy. my mcq had 10+ blanks and i just tikamed the unshaded OAS at the last min. tikam meaning: not even reading the questions and randomly shading the ovals. 10 marks gone because i didn't draw the graph. another 10 marks gone because i wrote the wrong stuff.
i know it sounds scary but i predict i'll get a 30-40.
no kidding. I. AM. SERIOUS.
i tell you, it's horrible. it feels so bad because i studied so hard for it. i mean, if u do badly because u didn't study, it's okay. but i studied really HARD. what does that signify? the notes that i wrote, the tut that i redid and the long hours i spent on my tys. i did so much, yet. sigh. u get what i mean? i feel sorry for myself. and i still thought i would stand alil chance to take H3. hah. fat hope. i think i'll do so much better for geog la, even though i just started studying ytd.
I'm losing myself, losing myself to nowhere..
Sunday, June 24, 2007
i took 4 hours to finish plate tectonics. i only finished 3/9 chpts for geog in the lib. i'll fail geog. i don't want to fail geog. i think studying makes me hungry. i MUST watch Harry Potter. i think the name of this island is so damn cool: The Eastern Carribean Islands of Martinique.
GOODBYE TOMORROW.

people around me are all getting attached.
X is attached. (well, almost.) Y told me last night that he has a gf. Z told me today that he has one too. (i even caused this lil problem btwn them.)
AND I AM NOT. lol. poor me. maybe i should find one. it must be peer pressure.
--
i met with this lizard incident in the morn. i was having breakfast in the kitchen when i wanted to take sth from the cupboard. just then, i saw this lizard near the handle that i was reaching out for. GOSH! i immediately jumped onto the chair and shouted for my papa. meanwhile, i tried to shoo it away by:
1) throwing a crushed paper ball at it. 2) pushing a chair towards it. 3) using a long pole to tap the area around it.
BUT IT WON'T FREAKING BULDGE.
is it lag, senile or just senseless? then. my papa (being very calm) used a plastic bag to pick that thing up and threw it away. how i wish i had the courage to do that. after the whole episode, my papa concluded that i must have been an insect in my previous life. that's why i'm so afraid of lizards. or a big bully among the other lizards. LOL. so now i'm getting my retribution.
but this incident wasn't the worst. there was once when the lizard crawled over my feet. MIND YOU, IT WAS IN CONTACT WITH MY FEET. i was totally freaked out at that moment la. gross grosss grossss!

ATTENTION: INTENSIVE DRILLING FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS.
after 4 days without him/her/it, i finally paid my darling library a visit. met ser and qq there and i had pancake with huiru. :) went to find the others aft studying at the mac near my house. gian, jas, huiiing, erzi and lk were there studying. and then. gian saw this guy and his sideview was a splitting image of (sigh) can! and gian's sudden mention of him.. damn sad la! SIGH. anyway, there's this really cute stray kitty at mac. huiiing took pity on it and bought MAGNOLIA fresh milk for it. the way it drank was so cute! heh. shall upload the pics next time :)
i shouldn't have taken up the duty of doing the writeup :( in fact, i got sabotaged into doing it. sigh, i think it's worse than writing an essay. last year's standard was like- woah woah WOAH and mine's like- oh.
Thursday, June 21, 2007
just a summary of what happened today cos i've sth somuchmore interesting to share with u guys :) temsem meeting in school. cip at orchard. mostly handicraft. banners, gift wrapping, ribbon shredding etc. & pam took funny photos. yup tt's all.
alright, i'm supposed to be online to do the temsem tagline writeup NOW but i checked my mail and someone (i think it's glen) sent me this YouTube video. (THANKYOU SO MUCH!)
OHMYGOD. it is so.. beautiful :) great masterpiece. best arrangement ever. first, you'll get goosebumps. next, you'll start tearing/crying (whatever you call it) because it's so overwhelming (alright, maybe it might only apply to some). after listening to it, you'll click on their other songs.
I AM NOT LYING. unless you're some kind of anti-music freak.
oh man, how i wish i could be there to listen them play! well, any final fantasy fans out there, u HAVE to listen to their other songs too. Aerith's Theme and Theme of Love. brings back wonderful memories of random stuff. & the game too :)
Let the sonata play on..
Wednesday, June 20, 2007
same old mundane routine.
consultation. lunch. study. home. more studying.
oh. and anyway, i think i'll die from studying chem bonding. well, maybe not literally. but almost literally.
Why did my heart feel that little tingle?
Tuesday, June 19, 2007
MASQUERADE. Hide your face, so the world will never find you..
eh. temsem meeting again. chuan's not around so i've to do the write-up on my own :/ consultation with mrs tng. sigh. i realised i haven't exactly touched on maths! i don't knw. maths in jc and sec sch feels different.

Monday, June 18, 2007
physics consultation with ms koh. aft tt, me and padpad attempted to study but failed miserably la. gossiping is irresistible! :) and YAY. i'm happy because i saw my #1's #2. heh. haven't seen him so long. but's he so damn skinny la! skinnier than ever :(
skinny + tall = tall beanpole
some miscellaneous things i NEED to do aft the exams:
1) continue playing FFXII :) i want to complete it!! 2) watch phantom of the opera again (haven't got a chance to do so)
see, i'm so easily contented. haha.
Sunday, June 17, 2007

Saturday, June 16, 2007

urrgh! time's running out!
Friday, June 15, 2007
met up with my DEAREST to go shopping today :)
we saw this at some sock shop at far east. i was squirming when i saw all these tiny socks being displayed! so cute! gonna put my hp in it. i was deciding btwn pink, orange or black. but i settled on black. haha. i always end up buying useless stuff.
gian bought this at (i forgot where) but there was only one left. and we wanted to make it a 'couple' thing again. so we went to the other outlet at marina sq to get the exact same necklace for me :) so sweet right? anyway, i think the bag's damn nice. yay, i'm a DIVA :D
best buy of the day! a new bag :) gonna make this my new school bag. heh. it's big but whatever. what matters most is that it's nice and i like it!
amidst our shopping, we caught moments of nature's beauty. well, the situation was, we got lost at marina sq (haha. okay. we have a bad sense of direction) and gian brought us up to the rooftop, hoping to find a way out. AND HENCE, we saw..
A RAINBOW :D beautiful, isn't it?
we were walking halfway when gian suddenly stopped and looked up to the sky. and that was when we saw that alluring spectrum of light above the ferriswheel. whipped out our phones and started snapping shots of the spectacular view. soon after (i think they saw what we were doing), many other passer-bys followed suit.
lastly, a big thankiew to dear for accompanying me today and also for pointing out the rainbow :) u truly made my day. I LOVE YOU :D (points to the necklace)

Everybody put up your hands Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love
woo! GOOD CHARLOTTE :)
went back to school in the early morn for the temsem meeting. (anyway i saw this SUPER cute temasek sec guy on the train :X too bad i don't go for younger guys. haha) dragged all the way till bout 12+ before heading to the lib. aww, the window seats were all taken up so i went into the room. the lib was flooded with mj people btw.
i watched a walk to remember again, for the third time. and it still never fails to make me cry. it's simple, yet so touching and meaningful. landon is such a sweet and romantic guy! ahhh, jamie's such a lucky girl :) if i were her, i would die with no regrets too. haha alright, i'm fantasizing.
Wednesday, June 13, 2007
i'm giving up. i've alr taken the initiative but you chose to ignore. maybe it was meant to be a hoax from the start. fine. whatever. it stops here. i'm not doing anything anymore.
you just made my bad day worse.
Tuesday, June 12, 2007
fb training at valhal. haven't touched my stick for ages :/ watched the J1 guys play against the J2 girls. and woah o.0 they were AGGRESSIVE! knocking against the boards and shoving each other away just to get the ball. so.. that's the way we should be playing, right? not the OH!-so-demure way. haha.
had our lunch at mac and xy became the gossip-supplier. she just came up with a whole truckload of gossips and scandals (one of which was v v unexpected. HINT: concerns one of the fb girls!) and there was this mj guy sitting nearby. i bet he was listening REALLY attentively to everyth. journey back home was tiring. developed this splitting headache when i reached home. bathed. slept.
received this msg in the middle of training which dampened my mood totally. urrgh i don't know whether to feel happy, or not. it's making me so confused! i mean, what exactly do u want from me? why are u giving me hope again? sigh. oh well, let's just hope that msg wasn't meant for me. afterall, u didn't reply aft my reply.
Monday, June 11, 2007
LOL!! padpad! i saw ur eyecandy in the lib. jealous? HAHA. u shld have came to study today with me :D lol he was 8 seats away from me. anyway i think he came with a bunch of girls. awww, SAD. haha. but i don't think u can concentrate with him around too. heh.
now comes the anti climax part.
i wonder if it's too over to just study and mug the entire holiday. all these pushing and pressurizing.. urrgh craziness! there's not even a single outing to go shopping, watch a movie (maybe just tmr, aft training) or just good old catching planned yet. man, i have absolutely NO life. but THE big, BIG problem is that, i have alot of freetime as compared to the others (no cca, no cip blahblah), yet, i find myself with insufficient time to finish my revisions.
sigh. i'm sorry to let u guys read my ventings. but i have to pour all these out. goodbye and take care.
Sunday, June 10, 2007
urrgh. reached the lib and laid out all my stuff. turned on my mp3 and the batt was FLAT. i forgot to charge it the night before :( so i spent my day in the lib w/o any music, which was terrible!
josh actually came to the lib with ouxiang (!!) but he left :( but being (very) thickskinned, me, shan (she was studying at the lib too) followed josh to look for him aft studying. haha. but i only managed to see his backview. plus he was wearing a cap :(
I want POTASSIUM.
Saturday, June 09, 2007
I pondered. Hard. What exactly am i waiting for? What's there to life if there's no initiative being taken? I'm tired of the never-ending waits. Tired of waiting for fairytale endings. Life's more than that.
I have nothing more to say.
Friday, June 08, 2007
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEIHUI :)
w/o candles
with candles
taking out the figurines
SHREK ears :D and can u see the necklace tt she's wearing? i gave it to her. lol. it's her favourite- WINX CLUB.
Thursday, June 07, 2007
i was late- again! lesson starts at 845 but i was still at home at 830 :S celebrated josh and zahir's birthday in 12 days advance. the chocolate cake was DELICIOUS! it was so choco :D heh. sigh! had this looooong discussion with mrs tng about our gpp and now, we have to amend our gpp by using GROUNDBREAKING language :( otherwise, it would not be approved!!
sometime ago, i mentioned that i wanted to go for a run but i didn't. so i made it up by doing so today. but having not exercised for a very, very long time, it was a struggle thru the 6 rounds! k, shall make use of the holidays to work out more often!
PADPAD! U MUST READ THIS!
OHGOSH!ITSJOSH just told me sth! and i'm so traumatised by it! (maybe traumatised's not the word but i shall still use it anyway.) the canoeing guys are shaving their heads as a tradition before their competition. and that includes my dearest ouxiang! sighsighsigh i can't imagine him bald, shaved & BOTAK at all! i dare not picture that in my mind (actually i just did. but. NVM.) damn sad la! :( eeks, i won't want him as my ouxiang anymore! i'm kinda sensitive towards bald people. no offence though! sigh, nvm, shall wait for his hair to grow back. at that time, i shall confer the prestigious title 'OUXIANG' unto him again. but how long will that take? whatifwhatif WHATIF his hair growth rate is 1mm/yr?
ahhhh. i'm sad. moan with me, will u?
Wednesday, June 06, 2007
LOL. i actually saw qiqin!
choc waffle and half a pkt of jellybeans kept me thru for 8 hrs :D
yup. that's all.
There's truth in your lies, doubt in your faith.
Tuesday, June 05, 2007
i made it thru 10-630 with just 2 toilet breaks and a piece of bread. and i'm still alive! ain't i powerful? HAHA. all hail the almighty meiqi! well, studying in the library proved to be much more effective. tortured myself with the summation tut but i still managed to finished it in the end :)
if there's ONE song that u've gotta listen right now, it's Maroon 5's Makes Me Wonder. it's so good, i can't get it out of my head!
Monday, June 04, 2007
i saw him. he changed his hairstyle, i think.
studying at home for 4 days made me realise sth- i can't concentrate at home! i'm going to resume my studying at the lib again, just like what i did for Olvls. waiting every morning for the lib to open at 10am and rushing in to get a seat/seats (depends on who would be there) by the window. aye, it might sound a little crazy right now, but i kinda missed that. well, happy mugging to me!
sth random that i adapted from a korean drama:
Would you prefer a guy who would offer you an umbrella when it rains or a guy who would walk in the rain with you?
i would pick the second one :)

childhood recollection :)
there was once we were playing this card game- Old Maid (it's played exactly the same way as 'Donkey') as a family. lol. i got the old maid card and so i lost. being a (really bad) sore loser, i lost my temper and started crying. haha i even tore that old maid card! funny, isn't it? the mere reminiscence of miscellaneous stuff like this could make me chuckle to myself.
Saturday, June 02, 2007
this is bad.
i was studying the entire day but i wasn't getting anyth in.
SOMEONE, grant me the power to study!
Friday, June 01, 2007
I wrote this quite some time ago. Well, it might not be that good but i hope you'll like it.
Salvation
Some distance away A fading white light i see I groped my wound as the pain seared through my body But just a little more I told myself
The smell of grass; A little more to the lush green fields The sound of trickling water; A little more to the nearby water stream
I struggled Bearing hope that a saviour would come
Knowing that my ordeal was ending I was on four, not two The final thrust pushed myself out into the light as i bathed in the golden rays
This time A silhouette descended from above And lightly held me in his embrace The comfort in his voice had this soothing effect as i slowly succumbed to it
