fotos from this week!

blandy! he's so cute i can't stand himmm.

stupid-naughty face.

aha, happy to go home after a long day of visiting. i jumped so many times for this photo.

took this last night. camera-shake! rarrh.

i had another sandwich. it's the cheapest thing there next to cake.^^

korean class was okay yesterday. went to SSC earlier to buy chelsea some super cute PIGGY BEDROOM SLIPPERS.. just nice, she's born in the year of the pig. hah. samuel and i split it half half. i feel like buying the monkey one for myself... :D

came home earlier cause i was feeling SO tired. fighting the flu! =( post-CNY syndrome. FIGHTAAAAANGGGG!!~

EE's birthday is coming soon! i made her card already. heehee.. it's really pretty!

yesterday we went to see mama before heading to my aunt's. it was a last minute thing cause we had to wait for the home to call and inform us that she was back inside. (my uncle brought her out to the beach) so we went and she was happier this time round. =) we're still in a fix as to her return, though. it's quite complicated...

couldn't go see her today cause she had dialysis all the way until evening. went for the ABM visitation. had to miss the last house to go to another aunt's place, stayed there for a few hours, then went to EE olga's place. heard some interesting stories about my dad's family while at his sister's house.. really like a chinese drama! his dad had three wives and his grandfather had more than one too. heard about how the three wives fought and how the siblings took care of each other and stuff. had a good dinner at EE's.. did the chinese salad thing and none of us spoke good chinese (peranakan thing) so we just blurted out whatever wishes or whatever sounded close to the chinese phrases. funny.

face suddenly got 7 pimples popping out at once. (!!!!!!!) a sign that i need to LELAX~

gotta go to SSC to buy something i saw at popular the other day.. then i'll probably go straight to the library and then to KOREAN CLASS! not sure whether to continue taking lessons after the basic course finishes...

HAVE SOME FIGHTING IN YOU EVERYBODY!!!! and have a good week. ^^

gran didn't come back. uncle sent her to old folks' home. =(

we went to see her yesterday. she's doing alright but she was crying because she was so sad. CNY is a big thing for old people so, i guess she hates spending it there. i was trying to imagine being her, being stuck there, waking up there, lying there all day, dying people everywhere, no family, nurses flipping you here and there, stuffing you with food you don't like. for some time yesterday i was really, really mad with the people who had a part in her staying there... just after seeing her so sad. we (my aunt and my family) brought food there to eat with her. so happened my uncle came by (we already told him we were going) and things got a bit messy. that visitation ended on a very sour note and my mom was super upset on the way to reunion dinner after that. after reunion dinner we stopped by my parents' friends' place and then came home at about 1. was almost braindead.

today we're trying to go there after my uncle leaves the home. then we're gonna go to my dad's sis' place for another dinner. i'm not really liking CNY this year.

i shall take a day off today to do a couple of things:
1) care for my sore throat.
2) prepare for mama's possible-but-not-confirmed return.
3) clean up my room
4) draw. i miss drawing so much!

yesterday i had to say bye bye to one of my drawings (aka one of my babies) and i was SO SAD. spent so much time choosing which one to let go of. my dad wanted to submit one in as an extra thing for my art. or something like that. =( *wails*

mama's gonna be discharged and might be coming back today. it all depends on my uncle. i hope she comes back here and not go back to those lousy old folks homes.

i heart sandwich.

that was dinner yesterday before ko-class. it was so big i cut it in half and gave half to a guy called samuel. we met up to cross-refer our compos. chelsea didn't write anything. no time. (we understand, m'dear...) samuel has an eng-ko dictionary (no fair) and he got his ko-friends to proofread/correct his compo (cheat). mine was google translate (also cheat but can be considered independent learning or something). anyways the teacher wrote our works on the board (!!!!!) and corrected them in front of everyone. mine got plenty plenty mistakes ya, embarrassing. for the lesson we learned how to buy things and bargain. nice~

chit chatted a bit at the coffeeshop and went home to watch 2days 1night with timmy! ahaha..

gran is so far so good. well, not good but just stable. at least she's not ripping anything else out of her neck anymore. my parents are seeing her every single day.. they're pretty tired. =(

fighting~!

just came back from hospital. wah, the travelling itself is so draining. gran was in a really BAD state just now but when tim and i got there she was already much better. because the wound on her chest kept bleeding her BP just dropped and my parents thought she wouldn't hold on for long so they called us to go over. before we got there the surgeon stitched up the wound and her BP rose back, so when we reached she was totally different from described. my unpredictable gran.. haha. the weirdest (good weird) thing is that her mind is pretty much normal now. she recognizes everyone and talks sense. just, all of a sudden. thank God. =)

i'm feeling quite tired out now. irritating headache and stuff, rarrh!

so, gran might not have sepsis. (-_-") it's still unsure what she actually has, but it's affecting her brain. she's still in her own world, but at least now she's eating a little and she's overall happier. one thing that's bugging my mom is how fearful she is of everything. anyways, thanks to all the lovely people who've been keeping her in prayer and showing concern and stuff. thanks alot! =) oh, for those who didn't hear, my granma yanked out the dialysis tube thing that was implanted in her neck.. dunno why she did that but there was blood all over according to my parents. i saw some blood splattered on the wall when i got there. i think she bled alot. tsk tsk. later she didn't even know what she did and she said someone else pulled it out. poor mama. so that's how she is now.

another school week is starting AAAH. on top of that i still have to figure out how to write the 2 paragraph compo for our korean assignment thing. the title-- MY DREAM (ambition). gaha~

a quick post before i continue my schoolwork. gran hasn't been doing well these few days. suffering from sepsis now.. she's in SGH. she's gone bersek, so she's just talking nonsense and she's in her own world.. doesn't recognize anyone at all. very weak too.

parents going through a hard time trying to work things out with my uncle and coping with gran's situation. their health isn't good either. mommy took mc and went to the polyclinic yesterday. daddy just can't seem to get well from that flu that began a few weeks ago! dad's immunity system isn't strong anymore...
age. what a bugger.

back to school now. aza!

some random pictures of 2009 stuff so far. lost the blogging momentum.. must start posting regularly again. tsk. hereyago~

korean dictation. it's the third dictation i think. looook the guy who marked my paper wrote one "hao" down there so cute!

bran bran sitting on my schoolbooks. timmy put him on the table cause he was mopping the floor. ha.

lunch with des and jamie. :D

after our eye check. daddy zoning out because of the light.

mama at SGH.

MRT lighting is pretty good leh. makes your skin glow. how come both my parents got big eyes but mine came out so tiny?? they both got double-eyelids somemore. rrrrh~ gaga my lohan yu forehead is emerging again.

mama at old folks' home. she is an artist. face art. i am her apprentice.

this was last year! geil's birthdayyyy. she accompanied me for like an hour after that cause i had to kill time. aw, thanks hun.

that card is obviously for you. aha.

wah, been doing work for hours and hours. hoping to keep this pace up throughout the year. today the o-ppl got their results right? sher was so sweet to call me up lah. she's going to some jc this year.. just like everyone my age. makes me fired up to finish my ACE so i can m-o-v-e o-n. i'm taking a different route from her. she's going to jc, then poly, cause she wants the jc poly life. i wanna go to uni straight.. no interest in taking a longer route. haha. so typical, we've had this difference since we were small! anyway, we were just laughing about it yesterday at the park. it's so so strange, this growing-up-talking-about-the-past-we're-both-big-now feeling. :) aza! maybe in 10 years time one of us might be married or something. AAAAAAAAH!!! LOL. future freaky.

i feel like this year is going to be very serious for me, since i'm aiming to finish up homeschooling. like all the things people have said about whether or not i'll make it in the future getting into uni's and blending in.. all boils down to this year or the next. to some extent it feels like i have alot to prove, but i guess i shouldn't care about that right? study for God.

it feels good to have body and age slowly merge together too, if you know what i mean. like when i was 13 people used to think i was 16, when i was 14 they thought i was 18. now i look just about right. *big smile* i am 16 going on 17. ah old old hahaha.

fighting!~

nowadays the bat/bats are frequent visitors in our kitchen. there was also a wasp building its house in MY WADROBE. (!!!) daddy broke the house up and we found many spiders and bugs that the wasp stored for its babies. felt bad for the wasp, but who told him to build his nest there?! hah.

tim went for his root canal today to get all the bad stuff out of his gums. he looks fine now.

yesterday there was a new student in korean class, and i think he's from china so he had a bit of an accent. on the way back home while talking to him i discovered that he used ACE too. (!!!!!) small world moment lah! three cheers for homeschooling~

came back and watched 2days 1night with tim while eating supper. it-was-so-funny ! we were laughing like madd. perfect de-stress show. 2DAYS 1NIGHT jjang!

this week has been brain-draining and i think my life is getting shorter and shorter. (it's fine with me. i don't really wanna live that long.) i got the full load of my 8 subjects this week and it's no fun at all. =( rarrh~

the whole family went to the eye center early this morning for daddy and me to get our eyes checked. i have to wear my dad's specs now to see close cause the eyedrops they gave me for the tests make my pupils dilate, and the effect lasts for about 2 days! my eyes are pretty sensitive too. in aggie-terms, my eye muscles are paralysed and they can't focus.. due to the drops.

after our checkup we went to visit mama, then mom and i went to SSC! was really, really zoned out cause i couldn't see properly. i hope it'll go away by the time i wake up tomorrow.

i look like daddyyyyy. HAHARR.

HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRRR.
welcome, 2009!

the year started alright for me. not very enjoyable, or enjoyable at all for that matter, but oh well.

went for watchnight after the korean lesson. learned about seasons and tenses. :) the mentally disabled lady wanted to sit beside me, so i bo bian. before the lesson started chelsea and i were trying to revise and the lady kept telling me about some doctor who fell in love with her. (???) right. rushed off right after class and had to stand the whole train ride. dunno why there were ALOT of foreign workers in the train.. some alight more board. my head was throbbing in the train... felt horrible. (i got the fluuuu~) reached church around 1020. =)

yesterday wasn't a very nice day so i shan't talk about it.

oh yah, gran is in hospital again for fever. =( please pray for her. dunno what God has in mind for her.
