tomolo will be another round of kayaking and hopefully i'll get my one starrr. :) i'm quite excited. OK LAH VERY EXCITEDDD!

tooday jacob got baptized at sembawang park. it rained and rained. i was trying to catch the part where he submerged but Bjohnny did it so fast i just blinked and he was all wet aredy. boo. lol. had lunch at salang and headed home. lucky [dog] was present throughout the whole thingg. awww.

WHOOOOOOOO!!! kayaking was just great today, only thing was i didn't get my tan, but whu cares! john, clara, zhiyang, sis. jill, keli, serina, sher, tim and i went and some JC ppl joined our group. ok just a quick [ha] run through of wad we diddd. met at yishun mcdonalds, [my family had breakfast there] and s. jill picked us all up. went for a long drive to kallang and got a lil lost and was unable to find the correct place for a short while. found the place and met my boggle-eyed sir. ohkays, cannot call him tt now because it's mean. didn't expect to meet him and i behaved pretty badly the last time i saw him, so i relly wanted to hide my face when he walked up to me and sher with a HUGE smile [seriously, he has a big smile and array of teeth. uh, in a good sense. good dental hygine. ??] anyways, he gave us kayaking theory 101 and we got our kayaks and set off for the beeeeeechh! at the shore, more theory, then, LAUNCH OFFF! practiced wad he taught us on land when we were in the water. the weather had been quite cloudy ever since we got there. no rain yet. so, after practicing and playing around and teasing sir abt singing [sher only you get tt part] it was dreaded capsize drillllll timeee. WOOSH! got it done and over with quite quickly, and it was real fun.the whole group was split into two groups of four. our group did the drill first and the other group got to do it after we ate lunch. after we capsized we were supposed to swim and bring the boat back to the shore. in doing so, EVERYONE had a turn getting stuck in the think, dark grey mud that covered half my shin and stole my bro's adidas water sports shoe. yes. singular. one. the ud swallowed one shoe up and sucked it down so deep none of us could find it. money flyyy byee byee. sobs. he got a scolding from my dad when we got home. so, after capsizing like idiots -- LUNCHEE! had chicken rice at a nearby coffee shop in our capsized clothes. nice. after lunch we got more theory abt how to move sideways [believe me sir used chimmer terms than 'how to move sideways'] and got to work, hard work practicing. practiced different strokes, reversing and gg forward, and then, showtime! the four who hadn't capped yet had their time and a good audience. lol. we then did our 50m swim test which we all completed with ease. ((: rested a while nd launched out again to head for shore to pack and wash up. had something i guess you could call a bath, and headed home sleepily.

some funny things tt happened in our day:

sir tied my kayak to a buoy so that everyone could gather around it without me drifting away. after they gathered, he talk finish, and everyone go aredy, he forgot to untie us and we were left wondering why we couldn't move as we too had forgotten we were attatched. i ended up screaming for sir like some moron and everyone was staring at me. he was relly far away lorh, dun scream then do wad?!

gabriel and zhiyang took one kayak. it looked like a see-saw.

saliva flew out of sir's mouth and landed on me when he was instructing everyone on the beach. don't stand too close to him. at least 6 feet away. yuckk.

GAHHH! kayaking one star course is tomorrroo. [yeah, must spell the whole thing out so it looks chim-er. :-P] so, yes, i am VERY excited [childishly] and no, i am not scared. tim is, i think, of the capsizing drill. praying tt it won't rain so i can tan and bake till i turn BLACKK. ((:

yay! i'm in happy mode. been into short stories lately, as in writing them. BUT nobody's gonna get to read them [unless accidentally lah] Bcos they're kinda lame and boring, and i don't have thick skin. my aunt's boss' mother gave me a three whole books of crosswords and other puzzles like tt so i'm doing them until i go giddy. ha. do crosswords boost IQ?

oh, i've been doing dumbells religiously everyday. 5KGees. [stop laffing, ya'll. i know it's not much but it's just nice fer mee. STOP LAFFINGGGG,] hope to build nice big biceps. triceps. wadeva. both lah.

struggling with french. struggling with mathematicticticss. uhhh, everything oso hard lah. but, WHOOOOOOO! kayaking is my painkillerrr. eh kayaking tmr leh. i think i aredy mentioned tt. anyways. YAHAHAHAHAAA.

whoo! went swimming t'day. ohkay, technically, i can't swim properly yet, so my dad's teaching me. i'm fed-up. tim can get the strokes right faster than me. BOOO. came back today wiffa nice light tan. [ok tt sounds ironic.] can't wait forr KAYAKKINGGGGGGGG !

bon soir everyone. i am TIRED. today my dad was in an exercising mood and he got us all up to do morning exercises tgth. it was funny lah, and kinda kool. i like doing stuff with my dad. :) tim kept making fart sounds while we were doing squats. lol.

went for wise teens and games [frisbee, captain's ball, guys played soccer.] the lesson was about the human nature of judging and predjudice. it was a good lesson. sometimes i feel very judged, in many aspects. sometimes i judge, and very severely. learned alot from the lesson today. :))

can't wait for kayaking and thailand. hope the thailand thing will work out smoothly! bon nuit. :D

PHOTOS FROM YESTERRDAY!!! wooots! ((: yes, hapy birfday too meee. had a b'day dinner last nite with my parents, bro, two cousins and one of their boyfriends, my aunt and uncle. yippee, ate western at the downstairs COFFEE SHOPP! it was simple and sweeet. it's relly the people around you tt makes the atmosphere great, smth i realized yesterday. one cousin and her BF went off after eating and the rest of us went up to my place. i was just fussing around for a while until my mom gave me a straight face with a wierd tone of voice and told me something happened to the milk in the fridge. ohkays I DID NOT CAP THE MILK PROPERLY so i got all freaked out and flung the fridge open staring straight at the milk. it took a few seconds for me to realize there was a huge cake from SECRET RECIPIES staring straight back at me, and my aunt and mom had a good laugh just looking at my retarded face. raye dun laugh. so, we had a grand b'day song, thanks to tim and all his unnecessary piano variations, and a little, princess like cake-cutting. i didn't mind the tinch of childishness. it's nice once in a while. :) that was how my birthday ended -- just the way i liked it. the cake was just SUPER and my aunt told me a lady she knew named Amy insisted on paying for the cake, which is, shall i say, very not cheap. she's an old lady with a kind heart. i want to meet her. ((:


OKHAY I CONFESSS, TO TOP IT ALL OFF I GOT PRESENTTS AND ANG POWSSSS! oh yeahhh.

 

I LOVE TOODAY! tooday is a grreat day! thank you, whoever remembred, for remembring tooday. :)) just came back from a 15 min run in my NEW SHOOS! woohoo!! (dad n mom bought them for mee.) i love the shoes, altho they need lots of seasoning. absolutely adore them. i don't even store them in the shoe rack with the rest of my forsaken shoes, i put them in my room. i don't wann them to smell. gahh. lame.

watched the 'joseph play' again for the thousandth time. (: everyone's SO funny. now i regret not acting, but the only role the *ahem* 'producers' gave me was slutty potiphar's wife, who wants to seduce joseph, WHOM MY BROTHER IS ACTING AS! so, i wanted to act, but not as her. sad. but haha, EVERYONE WAS SO FUNNEEE.. !! justino as pharaoh reading his lines from his hands, and having his sarong drop once. tim low kept covering his ..... lower body area when pharaoh was supposed to fling a cup because he was angry. rachel and ariel just couldn't fan the leaves in synch. my bro acting SO fakely .. fake .. wadeva. adrian and his funny faces. john and gabriel 'walking down the aisle'. many many more. yay! lets watch again! :D

ohkays i admit, toodays is great but it's boring and i hope the remainder of the day will be more fun.

today is really boring. these few days have been boring. there is some guy who is really irritating me and i shall spare you the details and shall not elaborate for all your sakes. lame stuff that has happened in my boring life these few days: my dad bought some very cheap fabric paint, 5 bottles for $1. it's really good and i usually bought it at spotlight for like, 4 times the price. now i'm painting almost everything in my room and it's turning into a disco, with all the silver paint everywhere reflecting everything. ha. it's job week, and i'm currently unemployed. i'm just too busy studying lahh, argh! anybody need me to make cards again? pleese order in the very professional tagboard located somewhere in this screen, and if you see me in church on sunday that is when it will be delivered. AH! DESPERATE. 1 card for $1.50 pleese specify all occassion card, birthday card, thank you card, etc. gosh this is becoming some kind of advertisement. did i spell tt right?

this was supposed to be reese witherspoon, but after a while it really didn't look like her so i just drew whatever came to my mind. i think she looks good, anyway. =) 

pathetic photos from ice skating yesterday.
<--- me hogging food. 

me showing off my huge glove and acting like i can skate! 

me, shermaine, and rachelle! 

the girl in long sleeved-pink was the birfday gurl, elizabeth. :)) 

granny's backk! staying here for 10 days. trying to make her as happy as possible. she was so excited about coming home, and she was showing me her x-rays and telling me all about who cut her hair and how she didn't like some nurses in the dialysis center. it's funny how she interprets things in her own way. she thinks the pump that takes your blood pressure makes it go higher.

ok, so, updates abt my boring life this weeek. well, tim had stomach flu and passed a lil bit of it to all of us, i can read a new french passage [yipeeee] and i am struggling harder than ever in my studies!

AAAHHH!!!! KAYAKING SO TOTALLLY RAWX! yesterday like, 25 scouts went for the one-star kayaking course, but shermaine and i couldn't go, since we had church today. it's a two day thing. so, we went down in the late afternoon yesterday and they had just finished the first 6hr lesson when we reached the campsite. since uncle C.J. was there with the van, he helped transport the tents and bags and stuff to the campsite. while we were loading up the stuff, we heard someone say HE'D BE WILLING TO TAKE ONE EXTRA PERSON OUT FOR FUN!! he was an instructor. ok you guys can imagine me screaming, until i remembered that there was me AND SHERMAINE. being good-natured and kind and giving and pretty and all , [LOLLING. just kidding.] i let shermaine have the extra place. in the end the in he was willing to take us both out, and we got a double canoe. GAAAH! ok, so we unloaded the stuff SO violently and got our life-vests and paddles and all, and carried the kayak to the shore. boy, was i excited. anyways, the instructor had changed, as in, it was a different person. he looked abit less friendly. he taught us the basics and told us to stay within the little space so close to the shore. like, siao ah, where to paddle to? the rocks?? we were just paddling away and i noticed he looked SO bored and he let out little laughs when shermaine and i kept barging into things, so i shouted, "yahlah yahlah funny right? laugh lah!!" and he laughed even more. he then mentioned that our paddling was better than the ppl who took the course earlier that day!. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! a few mins l8r the original instructor came, and i think he was REALLY much nicer. he was seriously impressed my our paddling and said, "actually, ur paddling is ... much better ... than those who took the course just now... heh." AAAAH! GAAAAHH! WOOOHOOOO!!!!! TWICEEEEE!!!!! i wanted to jump out into the water, swim to him and hug him or smth. he TOLD US TO PADDLE TO THE BRIDGE! which was like, a few km away. ok that was when i confirmed he was my favourite instructor. hahaaaah. we kept trying to splash water on him and kept teasing him and he kept asking about homeschooling until i said something witty or sharp and then he shut up. the best thing was, IT WAS SUNSET AND THERE WAS MUSIC PLAYING ACROSS THE WHOLE BASIN!! it was coming from some big loud speaker. we paddled all the way to the base of the bridge and he told us to go touch it with our paddles or smth. we floated around near the bridge for quite a long time, and the breeze was fantastic. he taught us some kayaking techniques and some stuff about capsizing and he said too bad we couldn't go for the course. i was having the time of my life out there, and the people on the bridge were staring at this lil long legged girl half sleeping in a floating kayak with her legs up on the boat. soon the news that the food had arrived at the campsite made our coach want to go back, and so we headed back. he kept shouting he could smell the food from out there. lols. everytime we stopped paddling on the way back he'd shout," EH YOU LEDEZ FISHING AH?" hahaha. i didn't wanna stop paddling. i wanted to paddle until my arms broke off. :D we got back and headed for the campsite. we'd been out for about an hour. after dinner and tent pitching, it was nite games time. one of the sir's name is chee hua, but i either call him ET [he's shorter than shermaine.] or chrysenthemum. :)) he's real funny, but didn't even bother to know everyone's names. at least not mine? :\ so, two delegates frm each patrol [grp] played human entanglement [everyone anyhow hold hands and try to get into a circle as fast as possble. this game everyone played], newspaper dance [keep folding the newspaper and dancing on it TO TECH MUSIC. only two ppl frm each patrol played.] and the lamest game of all, one star scouts idol. all participants [anyone whu thinks he or she can dance]of this game are blindfolded, you can choose to be a participant or a judge. there were, of course, alot of judges. the blindfolded ppl had to dance in front of the judges, and the best dancer wd win. actually all we were doing was sabo-ing the best dancer, by making her dance and dance like an idiot even tho everyone had left the front and were facing her. we kept saying, hurry up! your competetion getting stronger, when there wasn't any competetion and she'd dance harder and harder. in the end we stopped the music and all stared at her for a long while, until she became smart enuff to take off the stupid blindfold. it's a really lame prank, but we all laughed until we could have fainted. :)) didn't really have a good sleep, but i'm used to it. woke up this morning to a vigerous 5, or rather 20BX. the rangers didn't give us a chance, mann. like, 30 jumping jets to the right, 15 sit ups, 15 push ups, 45degree leg lifting, 50 counts of 4 of up hand clapping, stretches, stretches and more stretches. all at 6:15 in DA MORNINGG. had area cleaning and some morning activities and shermaine and i left at 8+. i got a relly big bruise on my knee from banging into a road .. metal thing while i was trying to hop over it in a frenzy TWICE. i think i broke my kneecap. oh wells.

I LOVEE IKEA! okohkays, organize my thoughts. ahem. my whole family went to ikea todays, and had quite some fun there. :)) at first i was really bored cause the things there haven't really changed (no offense, ikea) but once it got to lunch time, ohh mann i was totally not bored. the food there is SO good. i love swedish food, except for those sheep stomach dishes. had like, 9 big meatballs, potato salad and some laksa. yah! LAKSAAAA. laksa rawx man. laksa? laxa? whadeva. hitched a ride on carol's car when she was on the way home from work. thanks carol! ((:

on a graph, my life now would kinda be a straight line sloping upward very slightly. things are happening and i'm learning, growing. i like life now, as in, i'm happy with it. i sound old and light headed right? lol ...

oh yah, i forgot to mention, so i'll add in. my aunt came over today and bran [dog] got all freaked out thinking she was some kind of intruder or dog eater or smth that he crapped all over the floor in a slicky diarrhoea. i think way back in his family line, one of his ancestors was a skunk. sweeet.

these few weeks have been the alpha 8 roller coaster. i've not been feeling so good, actually. anyways, let's see.. what have i been doing these few weeks. oh yahh. my aunt brought me to a french school cause she wanted to sign me up for lessons to back up my school work. (learning from a tape ain't easy, ok!) anyways, the march term class was cancelled so i gotta wait till may. =( we'll see how that goes lah.

played badminton with michelle and shermaine and JX and maurice again last fryday. the game was SO all over the place. we weren't really playing properly.. just whacking and scolding [me] and waltzing around and whining [also me]. maurice was, ok i can't be bothered to elaborate on him.

went to bishan wif my dad to get the scouts uniform and stuff on friday. goodness the guys at the counter were so funneeee!! [i presume they were all once scouts too] there was one very dao guy lah, but he was comically dao. like, he looks like a sec 2 or sec 3 kid but he was like, "yes? can i help you? *in very dao accent* .. yes? any problem? no, no! what are you looking for?! *me ignoring him*" HAHA! ok, not being mean, but he was shorter than me. ok i can't say tt and say i'm not mean. WADEVA! there were two other guys at the counter and one guy [ i dunno why i'm gg on about the guys at the counter, but oh wells] one guy said there were no smaller sizes for a shirt and the other guy [indian] said there was and they kept argueing and insisting and i just kept laughing. went for scouts yesterday smelling like the storage room in the scouts association building. ddnt have time to wash the Tshirt b4 i wore it. heh. i know like eew right? we went tracking at some nature trail in kranji and got a lecture on nature and the eco system. i think the trip was mainly for the younger kids lahh, can't blame them. we walked like, 5km, generously feeding mosquitoes along the way. went straight to WTC for song practice.

let's see, what else in new these few weeks... i've learned to count to 30 in french and i'm totally into pride and prejudiceee! GAH! bon nuit!

AAAHH!! i did good in my french! really, reallyyy happy. ((: ohkays all the stress and zits payed off. yeah! right. amongst my french-success some other things have happened this week. i joined the scouts thing that was organized by some ppl. went for my first time last saturday. it was okay lah, at first i found it abit boring, partially because the session was held at the baking botanical gardens and i wore sandals so the ants were eating baked-me up. i was kinda having a sore throat but i still went, and after baking my brain just fried up and i was getting a fever so i pon tang wise teens for that week. THAT WEEK ONLY LAR. heh. i have had a SERIOUS breakout [raye stop laffing] and my face looks like a more prominent map. SOBS!! i feel like locking myself up in my room and not going out and isolating myself from all sociey until it all goes away! ): ok my dog puked on the floor and i think i can see some faint discoloration now. oh man..

i'm about to update about something that happened a week ago. gosh, i'm lagging big time.
so, last saturday, wise teens was like, quite pathetic, as in the attendance. at first it was just me and gerlynn, then shermaine, cheryl and KY came. after the lesson and all, shermaine and i waited for her dad cause we were so not in the mood for bball, which was the activity of the month. :( when sher's dad came we were driving off in the van when suddenly he saw some white smoke coming out of one of the landed props there. 81 jalan pemimpin. he was wondering if it was a fire, and honestly, i was apprehensive. then the smoke got more and more and it turned black. OHKAYYs it's time to call the fire station or something.. we notified a nearby auntie whu lived in the area and she notified her son whu notified bishan fire station. i like the word notified.. sounds smart. heh. anyways, the fire engines and police cars came. the fire spread to the next house beside it. anyways, a huge crowd was soon gathered around. there was this one neighbour called paul. he went around introducing himself and wishing everyone happy CNY. weird. after the fire was put out, we headed back to sher's house for the long awaited dinner.

today i was looking thru the past year's photos with timmy, my baby brother. i totally hate it when he's taking the photos but i love the photos. they're so funny.. teens camp was the funniest. was laughing at ppl's faces.. so don't blame me if the next time i see you i start snickering, ya?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY E-E-OLGA! today is my aunt's birthday. i was collecting ice cream from her when she drove by AND I FORGOTT TO WISH HER OR EVEN MENTION IT! i was like, oh. hi. thanks. bye! then i went upstairs and remembered and i was like, OH CRAPpppp. anyways, i smsed her and i know it's a really lousy way to wish someone you just saw, but oh well. she never forgets my birthday, and any occasion pertaining to me as a matter of fact. she's a great aunt, not only cause she gives me gifts and speaks french [chuckles], but because she's always there for me. i'd like to say she doesn't spoil me, ahem, she .. enriches my life [lol] to the best of her abilities , with love, care, and stuff. that doesn't come round often, other than from my parents. what's more, she's dang hip! have a great birthday, e-e. thank you for everything. :))

there wasn't anth new at reunion dinner this year. same old thing, people commenting how tall i am and how skinny i am and then they'll ask me about homeschooling. i can almost prepare a script in order of topic for the whole evening. spent a few hours at ah ma's house and went to visit someone living nearby-- uncle steven, his family, and his parents. it was nice to see zachary again. think it's been.. 2 years? 3? anyways, we were once again commeded with,"wow you guys have shot up" or smth to tt effect. somehow i manage to be taller than people my age most of the time. skinnier too. i count it as a blessing and a curse. people have a common saying that i can be blown away by a slight wind and i think i believe them.

yesterday after church we headed home and i managed to nap for like, half an hour? went to ah ma's house again and spent another hour or so there. then we proceeded to my aunt's house where everyone was gathered. i have quite a huge family on my dad's side cause my dad's father had three wives. i have three ah mas and a whole bunch of aunts whu sound the the same when they laugh. it's abit scary. when i hear THE laugh i picture hens. i was very antisocial there and instead of talking to my cousins, whom i have never talked to in my entire life, not even hi, even tho i see them every year, i ended up talking to my uncle. singular. one uncle only. occasionally i'd talk to some aunts. in the end, my sole companion there was max. he is a dog. throughout the whole day i was msg-ing zachary whom i had just reunited with the day before. that activity subsided my boredom quite alot.

tooday i'm gonna visit a few people. hopefully tooday will be a good day. i need to put on weight.

HLC had this CNY celebration thing so i just joined in and helped out yesterday morning. michelle was really funny and she and i just kept laughing the whole time. um. don't wanna say why lah. heh. qite embarrassing. anyways, i had a great morning there helping children make lanterns and stuff. i'm so caring, aren't i? while i was in the bus heading home i called michelle's HP and they passed it around, just for fun since i was really bored. finally some really mean person passed it into the hands of Mr. maurice. *augh* i am so polite lorh altho i ddnt wanna talk to him at all i just pretended to listen to whad he was babbling abt. bbrr.
when i came home i got the news that my previous church friend's mom had passed on due to cancer. i haven't seen my friend and his brother for like, 5 years so we're quite distant. went for the funeral service in the evening. it was good to see them, but it's sad we had to meet up this way. hey he recognized me and called my name lorh! i was surprised. felt real sad at thru the funeral. could only wonder how they all felt, someone so close leaving them.
met some other friends i haven't seen in a long time there. THEY'RE ALL SO BIG! the last time i saw them we were still playing catching and x'mas plays and stuff.. man. was nice to see them again. of course i was once again interrogated abt homeschooling, but hey, the more to talk abt the better. heh. at first tim was standing around like some millitary soldier with his arms folded, then i was like, loosen up lahh. he kind of did in the end. ha.

badminton was funny.. everyone was laughing most of the time. heee. i injured my brother a few times, but of course, it was unintentional. *winks* as usual, maurice was gah gah irritating. why is he so irritating? maurice, pleeese stop being so irritating. michelle seems quite pro to me *envious face* and sher kinda lost touch with the game.
watched the sunrise yesterday at changi beach. it rises everyday so it's no big deal, but from changi you can see the sun, as in, sun sun. like the ball of sun itself. ok forget it. it was fun anways.. couple of crazies waddling to the beach at 6 am squeezing into this mini mat on the shore staring into the sky waiting for smth, and screaming out airlines whenever a plane passed. [we were guessing which airline each plane was frm. =D stupid rite?] i was gonna head home aft tt but decided to follow sher to see some scouts swim. it sounds sick when i say it. ahem.. we went to see some.. swimming scouts. it was ohkay lah, but it was so darn hot i wanted to jump into the pool myself. went to sher's hse aft tt. went to wtc aft tt. went to megan's hse aft tt. went out with sher aft tt [again] and went home. i felt guilty i ddn't see my mom off to work. =( but, oh wells.
today was boring. went to church and went straight home. forgot to do the assignment thing for today and ended up mumbling away like some idiot. *pouts* i also got free lip gloss today. the end. [getting bored of typing]

tooday was funn! learned how to say Genesis 1:1-2 in frenchee! YEAYY!! ohkay that's about all that's been exciting for me t'day. is that good or bad? HM.
right. this week's been boring week and there's the badminton thing tmr so i'm all hyped up 'bout it. :D don't know why i like playing the sport so much.. for the most part i'm lousy beyond hope and i'm giggling and laughing and screaming and clashing rackets with the good players 95% of de time. oh wells. I LIKE ITT! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!! hehhhh..
oh yah, today my parents were cooking achar [yeahh baybeh.. bring it onn.] and the rempah thing they made smelled so bad cause there was so much vinegar and the smell was S000 overwhelming so i made a STUPID decision to clip up my nose with a peg. a CLOTHES peg. yeah man. stupid rite? darnit. *pouts* anyways i got a very red nose ofter that with two very very prominent clip marks on each nostril. [stop laughing. i'm so not laughing lorrr.] [OEI STOP LAUGHING LAH!]
grr. my dog's been peeing ANYWHERE. there's no safe-from-pee zone in this house anymore. you never know when & where he strikess.. expect the unexpected mann, oh yeah. [right. i'm exagerrating.. exaggerating.. whadeva.] gotta buy Bran a lil cup. heeeeeee.
ok i gotta goes. =)) [you're all probably clapping, cheering and saying 'finally!'.]

SATURDAY:

SUNDAY:
*silence*

church lah.

TOODAY!:
carol and my able-to-speak-french aunt brought my granny out THE WHOLE DAY. was kind of a family outing. first carol n my mom brought granny to polyclinic to have checkup done. then aunt got ankle xrayed cause it hurt quite bad. went to have lunch at EAST COAST!! i went around tables picking on ppl's food cause everything looked so goooood. gosh, there was mutton soup, o-lua, wanton mee, satay [lots of it], LAKSA, and uh.. ohkay that's it. it relly seemed like alot of stuff lorhh. anyways, i got myself all bloaty. =D sat around near the beach. tim and carol n i went to investigate some big sandcastles and tim took some photos [instinctively.]. [there was this guy in trunks and i was quite afraid tim got tt in the shot too.. the trunk-guy was also investigating the crummy castles.] after relaxing and unbloating abit we hopped back into the cars and went for a spin around the joo chiat areas. my mom and family lived there for quite some time so it smells like home to them. i absolutely love the old architecture there.. so peranakan!! saw the old red bakery which is appearantly very famous. saw lots of old, peranakan tiles lining the old houses. i even got to go back to my grandfather's OLD house which has been totally rerenovated, sadly. carol and tim and i then made a trip to the nurseries in thompson. had fun there finding far east flora and freezing ourselves stiff in the cold room. hee. in the end carol bought two dozen roses for $7+. good buy! :) she gave them to my granny. awww. we came back home and had some tea [so cultured rite?] and so we ended our day. uh.. the end.

i know i'm really inconsistent in updating, but whadever. heh. spent new year's day at watchnite and church so there's nth much to write about. school's started and the 2006 kicked off quite awkwardly. usually new years start quite smoothly and everyone's kinda floaty for the first month or so, but not for me. 2006's been rough ever since it started. i think the rest of january will suck big time for me. oh wells. D:
so whad else has happened this year, umm.. oh yeah. my hamster gave birth again! 5 lil pieces of red.. wriggly matter. let's see, in all i have 11 hamsters now. anybody want one? lelong! 1 for $10! got discount!

finished a new drawing a while ago. introducing JEANETTE AW after my careful but unintentional disfiguration. 

had u fun time at st. john's island. was pretty kool roughing it out there. the lessons were good. learned quite a few things. the games were okayy [lol] and oh so tiring. it's so sad i was having a BAD cough over there so i couldn't enjoy myself to the fullest. gosh, i coughed so hard every night (except for the last night) i was tearing and sweating like heck! to all those ppl whu thot i was crying or homesick, I WASN'T LAH. i just felt like the contents of my stomach were gonna come out due to the violent turbulence of my chest. sad. i got panda eyes because i couldn't sleep. *sobs* another thing i hated abt the camp was the super-hero bugs that inhabit that island. thay're giganta-sized i tell you.. one even stuck to cheryl's leg during the lesson.. perv dragonflies! other than that the camp was okay. i got my fair share of mossie bites as souveniors. [did i spell tt right?]
okayy honestly, i was getting fedup with my long bushy hair during camp mainly because it kept getting into my face and it was unmanagable and a waste of my shampoo so i got lots of it cut off. [uh. no offense to all you long hair-ed ppl. you rock.] not i am called mushroomhead at home [pot calling the kettle black!] . but i'm okay with my new 1960's look. i don't especially like it but i'm okay with it.
right now my granny's scolding the radio with coarse language cause there's nth nice on. mann...
yesterday was x'mas. it was okay. abit boring i must say. had some fun giving out the presents, tho. =) for x'mas this year i got ear rings, a haversack from daddy, chocolates, and a long sleeved shirt from my aunt. not badd lahh. x) i gave out a shirt, two mini shirts [one for lucky. say thank you.] a blackbook, a keychain, two bottles of adidas deo [ which indirectly, but now directly says you stink] and lots of cards. [seriously i dunno why i'm listing whad i gave out.. i'm bored. i guess. ] anyways, had a great x'mas dinner with my can-speak-french aunt [i love herr!] and came home. end of x'mas. :))

yeay! vbs is over! was great to see all the children from last year and some new ones. it's quite weird not being a camper this time round. i would say things went okay. i taught one day's lesson [sighs and snickers.] i think passed considering my age and that it's only my first time. [STOP LAUGHING, whoever saw me teaching!] the 5 and 6 year olds were a funny bunch. they have exceptionally small bladders. [it's true okayy.] one boy painted on the boys' toilet wall and one boy washed his hands in the TOILET BOWL giving the reason he couldn't reach the tap. [i'm so sorry boys it's not that i wanna discriminate you!] anyways, today was the last day of vbs and the children were still as cute.. but the whole day my skirt was dropping and drooping so it kinda bothered me.gotta pretty necklace from sher [thankeuu sher.] and bueble gumm, all from the philippines!

in all, i had fun. i also have aching feet, arms, and shoulders from carrying children and i'm extremely tired and pretty much brain dead. but after tmr's hangover, i'll be fine. oh yeah i had jogging fever again after i came home today.. i started doing pull ups, trying my supress my need to run. in the end i couldn't so i went for a jog. now i am assured i will sleep super soundly tonite. it's a miracle i can still type.

i think i forgot to mention i'm taking up french next year. got familiar with some phrases first.. it's a pretty hard language to study and speak, but it's kool once you can pronounce the words. :D

guess that sums up my week. until next time, au revoir!
