Rainy Sunny

mister henry from years ago came to church today. and i could recognize him! although he's much taller and manlier now than he was when we went to VBS together as 11 year olds. (wow, fast.) really brings back memories. i remember using waterguns to shoot into his ear during a game when we camped over at st. margrets. and i remember he was the nicest most helpful kid around. chong long, henry, sher and i were the 92's. good seeing him again. :)

came back home after church and lunch for a little while. then we went to see mama again, this time with daddy ad timmy. she's a little worse than yesterday. i think it's gonna be really hard for her to bounce back out of this one. just waiting and seeing and praying that she won't be in pain. she claims my jacket stinks, but there's no smell at all lah. think she just feels bad for taking it and wants me to have it back.

so the family had a nice dinner at the SGH kopitiam. joked around and laughed out loud. (esp daddy with his laughing fits.) tim went back to camp and the rest of us took a long train ride home.

couldn't sleep last night so i'm kinda woozy now. got out of bed at 2 or 3am.. or 2 to 3am (i dunno~) to eat curry puffs (lol) cos i was hungry.

school work tomorrow, ughhh it drags on. i absolutely will be over and done with highschool THIS WEEK i must i must. if not then i will bash my head on my big pink wall. lightly.

MAMA is very sick.
just came home from visiting mama at SGH. my uncle chose not to tell us that she was admitted 3 days ago. we only found out today through my aunt, whom my grandmother pestered my uncle to call. he didn't tell us cos he hates us, and there's a long story behind that.

reached there at 4+. had to wait till 4.30 to register, then had to wait till 5pm to go see her. she was curled up fetal, and i expected her to say, "boom!" when she saw me as she usually does but instead she started crying and stuff with hardly any voice, wah i heartpain. like she was waiting for us for so long. =( stayed with her until 7.30 and made sure she was fed and turned and comfy. we left when she was sleepy. i let her have the jacket isa gave me for my birthday, cos all the other ah mahs had a cute little jacket and i knew she was eyeing on mine. hahah.

she's really weak and the diagnosis isn't certain yet. so, gonna hafta wait and see. she told me she prays "Jesus, Jesus, help me." when she feels horrible and that she feels better after that. that really brought a tear to my eye.

off to bathe now.

DRESS PHOTOS.
credits to timmy for the pics. although i cropped alot out. :D

came back home and everybody whipped out their cameras of sorts. put my heels back on and posed, hahahahah. after i gave mommy a good glare for spying on me, that is.

gold is always safe on black. nah, jamie, photo of the dress. hek hek.

this is so me. rahaha. my mouth was ulcered thanks to the braces.

mama's awesomely vintage pendant and my, um, mole. i dunno when tim got this shot but he knows i'm crazy about the pendant.

regurgitating. looks like i'm saying O B quek.

saying goodnight.

these photos took so long to upload. i went for lunch and came back and they still weren't up yet. think it's cos of the resolution.

super heavy rain now, hoho i like. it's funny, but i feel like going out when it rains more than when it's sunny. isn't it refreshing? no? okay.

OH, and i found out more people are reading my blog than i thought. hello benjamin chan, hee hee. (shy shy)

bran is now freaking out because of the dark and noisy weather. he's hiding under my glass table and staring at me with his huge eyes through the glass as i'm blogging. silly old dog. but so cute right? ^-^

yes, zoomskay, next time we go eat tao hway at hotel or something. upgrade.

i correct myself, it's good friday service, not easter. right? it's confusing, haha.

woke up early to go to church. it really feels like a sunday, makes me all disoriented. the choir practiced and could tell that my voice was in bad bad shape. =( anyway, thank God that some friends whom people invited came today and heard the Gospel. i was trying to be prayerful throughout the day. =) had lunch at church, waited around for a while, came home, and took a nice nap. spent the evening with my funny family (we didn't fight woots!). hahah, we suddenly started playing hangman. was nice.

now watching my fave, 2D1N. (super happy.) the guys are playing table tennis with their dinners and indoor sleeping on the line. meaning if they lose they have to skip dinner and sleep outside in tents (it's cold!).

you know what i really crave? kimchi ramen with fried pork. and nasi lemak with the chili. AND indian rojak. AND mos burger tsukune rice burger. with corn soup. ah.. how to sleep. hahah.

i feel like i have a day tomorrow and i have to spend it well.

enjoying ice milo now. i'm a bit obsessed with milo. the bad thing about that is that milo sorta constipates. but i take something called avalon which makes your system work like clockwork, so i have no problem. what an unnecessary paragraph.

sky chan came by just now, and his mom brought his bro over when she came to fetch him cos his eye had some redness and she wanted my mom to take a look.

bran went to the vet, and i think he really liked it cos he came back beaming with a huge, stupid smile and a bandage round his arm. must be cos he liked the vet or the nurses there. tsk tsk. he's on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds now, and he has to go for dental next month where he'll have to go under GA and stuff. (!) so much for a dog. lol.

tim's out with matt and family, i think. kinda later than usual, wonder where he is.

we're singing tomorrow ! easter service. i confirm cannot reach the high notes so i'll lipsynch L O L.

went for the counselors' training thing today, was a crash course.

need to send bran to the vet tomorrow cos his gums are seriously and grossly infected. hope he doesn't die. he's quite sick. think it's spreading fast. (weeps.) sky's coming over, though.. so i'll have to get my parents to send him.

feeling a bit dead now. (now meaning of late.) i should go sleep.

blogging from my dad's laptop now cos my phone can't connect to my pc no more. but i can bluetooth the pics straight onto here. sigh i should get a new phone.


MONDAYMAMADAY.

EE, daddy and mommy brought mama out for a haircut and shopping trip at AMK. but they were here before setting off, so i went down and strolled with mama for a while. went to an accessory shop (those cheena kind) and played around with obiang specs. haha. my face was very puffy. i think i lack sleep.

anna: "mama mama ini chantek!"

mama:"hiao lah loo... aha ha."

i went home after they left for amk. =( to do school work.

jake's days to ORD-ing are in the 70s now, wowwowwow. jacob hwaiting~ when u ORD i treat u eat ..... paddle pop. hahahahahahaha. :D

MY DEAR BROTHER misplaced his camp pass and we (entire family) spent half an hour searching the house for it. anyway he found it when he got back to camp, so thank God. he just smsed me telling me. i rummaged through rubbish bins for my bro. charity endures all things, man... he ah. his rubbish bin haven't clear since CNY lor! kafnkjflflsdlfnsdlkf.

Comms Ball.

rushed home from choir at 3pm. bathed, did my makeup, and rushed down to get my hair bunned. i didn't like my hair. it was like an ice sculpture. matt came at around 4:45 in a cab and we went straight to sentosaaaaaaa. keehee.

ag: was quite rushed. my hair is so stiff. it's a lump of hairspray.
matt: and mine is just.. a lump. :D

we were there so early. hm, so from here on i'll summarize. waiting for the setting up to be finished. we walked along the golf course until we got chased off. reception on the roof (nice and windy but no worries cos my hair was-- a sculpture.) there was some flame thrower guy there to entertain us. was introduced one million zillion times to couple after couple. my mouth is ulcered from smiling so much, hahahah. anyway i can't remember 90% of the people i was introduced to. strangely, ALOT of people either lived in / studied in australia before and i met this very nice couple (not really couple just friends) who told me about uni life there and stuff. so after reception, registration phototaking doorgift lots of pink guava, dinner finally started. there were.. 5 courses? i think. restaurant food. sashimi and foi gras and stuff like that. oh, caviar is salty. :D there was some program during the dinner, lucky draws, games, magic show, performances, band playing, etc. didn't really take lots of pics cos everyone was quite awkward with everybody, lol. but the guys took pics to their hearts' content. said byes and left with matt's friend, kenneth, since his dad was picking them up. we dropped at vivo with another yishun couple and shared a cab. reached home and was nicely accompanied to the stairs. i didn't know but my mom was spying on me from upstairs. T_T! when i got back everyone took some pics of me and i had to immediately regurgitate to them what had happened. finally got to pull out the 1000 bobby pins in my hair and wash off all that hairspray. haha. but it was all quite fun.

tim was bugging me and sending me this location tracker sms and stuff. so i told matt we should take a pic and send it to him. matt thought of taking a sad pic to worry him, haha.

to tim: "so sad."
tim's reply: "what happened?!"

to tim: "just kidding!"

guns and roses was the theme of the night. hoho, i'm not that much taller than him in this pic. yeah~

congrats, matt. and thanks for bringing me.

so i'm going to the ball tomorrow evening.

things i anticipate:
- being introduced over and over and over again. must smile. musn't look dao (stuck up).
- heels being uncomfortable. must take small steps. musn't be chor lor (um, dunno how to translate.)
- having to take sudden posed photos. bo bian (no choice).
- appearing very conservative cos my dress is pretty covered up compared to others. that's fine, i am conservative.
- being (much) taller than matt. AH THIS ONE WEIRD LAH. but hey! tom cruise, katie holms, you know? ;P lol, what a daring reference.
- shellfish. um, shall dump it with matt if i am served with any.
- alcohol. ask for something else.
- catfight! no lah, so drama.

that's all i can think of. shall just see what happens tomorrow. i think i have to go to the salon tomorrow cos i dunno how to bun up my own hair very nicely. but i hope the aunty doesn't make it obiang (old fashioned, tacky). and for the record, matt and i are friends. i think he's being nice by bringing me. i can go meet all these officer boys, hoho~ kidding lah.

bashya! aye, 1am already! die.

EAT.
thanks for making my skin look good, timmy.

tim just tagged me on this in FB. haven't seen it before. this is the epitome of the word CANDID. and spazzy.

i did another test just now, gonna have one more later. =( f i g h t i n g.

hey geil we have so many photos of us. let's make an album at the end of the year. cya later lah. bring me bottle ples.

the comms ball is this sat. psychedpsychedpsyched.

i have another week to finish school. stressstressstress.


psyched + stressed = head explode.

had two tests today. taking a little break before going out to buy some paper for cards, then off to see mama dear.


matt passed me my ticket yesterday. awesome.

LOL i just read it up and on one site it said blah blah," ...Laoshan oldenlandia Water not only remains the excellence of high mineral element of Laoshan Mineral Water, but also increases supernatural health care efficacy." (!!!!) gosh what have i been drinking...

enjoying my oldenlandia water in its nostalgically fascinating green bottle and cherishing this little pocket of free time. :)

i am going to drown myself in english, maths, and english composition, (yes i took that as a subject on its own) to finish ACE (ah!) by the end of march. i "huo gai" lah, kept leaving alot of backlog and procrastinating here and there. so now i have to chiong. i would literally rather climb mount kinabalu (dunno the spelling) than chiong if i had a choice. but then again, people do that for recreation.. so.. it's not that startling a preference. :|

i just did two tests just now and my brain feels like a big fat rock weighing my head down. or maybe, it's my kilogram of hair that's weighing my head down.

i'm gonna google oldenlandia water now cos i'm suddenly curious as to what it's made of and why it tastes like tatami mats.. HM.

*cough cough phlegm come out*

dinnerrrrr. for meeeee. who's eighteennnnn.

SATURDAY

wee ar sistas.

my luanqibazao tee shirt and my luanqibazao face. geil like posing for studio foto. LOL.

torrence: "what happen man?!"

i laid on the floor and told baby, "orh orh~ jie jie orh orh~" then he laid beside me and laughed. then geil came and laid down. and he realized he was trapped. hahahaha we love baby E!

FRIDAY's happenings.

art weekend for the kids! master artist, CH.

jon and the birfday cake he made for me with extra clay. but he washed his hands already when i wanted to take this pic, so i had to hold it while he just posed.

korean bbq! i super like! i am full like, until now. my jaw aches from chewing so much meat.

'reading' (i fell asleep on a tamil section.) my hair looks so wow here. geil spoiled my shampoo commercial.

green tea ice cream. jamie's recommendation, geil's treat. fuzzy faced geil. oh, this was post pig-nap at geil's place. i woke up and washed off my make up and looked like AIYOH. super puffy eyes.

went to a crazy OG cardmembers' sale yesterday. almost died there.. it was like war. you know where it gets really unbelievable? the bedsheet level. there are sales people shouting while standing on racks, people throwing bolsters here and there, carrying like 4 pillows. it's all quite hilarious. here you are squeezing back to back with smelly aunties and beside you there's a sales person frying popiah and eggs to promote the pots and pans. it's a good thing the crowd consisted of mostly females, cos everyone was groping everybody unintentionally. eck!

after that my parents and i went for lunch. was running a fever there. came home and crashed. didn't manage to see mama. :( when my parents told her i was sick she blamed it (with much conviction and gusto) on my drinking cold water all the time. hahahah. cute.

tomorrow sounds fun. art class, where we're gonna let the kids play with clay. and then korean BBQ WOOTS!

SKYLOVE

ag: my birthday was on tuesday leh.
sky: *stopped blabbering, shocked* why you never tell me!? then i can buy you cake. and plesent.
ag: *wants to squeeze his cheeks*

<3

i am eighteen. that was fast?

spent the transition hours of birthday-eve to birthday chatting with jake. he's a great big bro. would have been pretty lonely without him. (thanks man.) and i was also chatting with one of tim's colleagues or whatever. he's into korean stuff.. calls me a guru. (beams)

gonna hafta postpone the k-bbq with isa because there's tracting tomorrow. but that's fine i guess. space out the food so i don't get fat. :) positive thinking.

will try to get my hands on an ELI'S CHEESECAKE tomorrow. hee hee.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WISHED ME. appreciate the love. ^-^

church, chapel, lunch, choir, and dinner.
had dinner at at EIGHTEEN CHEFS. so appropriate right? i'm stuffed~

yay, sky says he wants to go to church tomorrow. ^-^

pastor chantha was there at teens club today. he shared the word and we had a great time. things got a little teary when we prayed together, with the mention of our grandparents and family and friends who aren't saved.

then we went for lunch. where else? ssc! -_-" haha. the company was nice so it was alright. i bought ice kachang. the guys went back and geil and i went to popular to get my birthday present. cos she has ALOT of vouchers, so she let me buy anything there. you can already guess what i bought right? notebook and pen. which gives geil a share in credit if i become a famous author or poet in the far future. THANKS HONEY.

this is like, my 20th notebook filled with little chunks of my brain. i diagnose myself with mild hypergraphia. (anyhow diagnose one) i feel like i cannot leave a thought or idea floating. it has to be written down so that it has a place in this world and so that it has existence or record. however, i simply cannot write some things. when it's too much of an idea or emotion (tragedy) i feel like i need to let it float away.

came home and asked someone at hans art (art class place near my place) if they had any interest in hiring an assistant or something. they said i have to call the big boss. which i will, i guess. if they ask for my portfolio i will lug my all paintings and drawings there. hahah. i should do more impressive paintings... i need big canvasses!

my birthday is zooming towards me. big fat eighteen in my face. AH!

i have yellow gunk coming outta my nose. it is not pretty. i think i'm recovering quick, cos all them dead germs are emerging. (no ref to you germ dun offended ples. hahar.)

blogging from my dad's laptop during school hours again. tsk tsk...

isa you promised me korean BBQ i haven't forgotten. i'm thinking dinner on the day itself? free? gosh i'm so thick skinned. tim took leave for my birthday. so good brother~. mom took 3 days leave. (!!!) dunno what she gonna do on the other two days. well at least she can have a good break. really long weekend.

i'm in a singlish kinda mood today. trying to restrain myself from typing too much singlish. i imagine ang mo's reading this and not understanding. as if ang mo's read my blog.

SKYENGLISH

sky: now can i write a question then you answer?
ag: okay.
sky: *writes on mini white board with much concentration* okay nah.
ag: "a car is a truck. what a car is a car!" (he meant to put a question mark in place of the exclamation mark) what is this? explain what it means.
sky: it means the car is here and the truck is here then they driving but opposite then the truck very speed...
ag: fast
sky: ah the truck very fast and the car very speed
ag: fast!
sky: ah the car very fast then they both never see then they liddat then crash! then the car is liddat the truck is liddat.
ag: (???!!!) okay. so what is your question for me?
sky: means the car is ... what.
ag: flattened? on fire?
sky: no.
ag: okay i dunno.
sky: aiyah, the answer is SLOW. like that also dunno!
ag: i don't understand what you are saying.

awkward looks back and forth

ag: my turn to ask you.

i had to read this old english ballad in the form of a little book. "the rime of the ancient mariner" by samuel taylor coleridge. pretty sad stuff... i was fascinated by both the language and the illustrations (haha. see picture), which were done by this artist called gustave dore. anyway, it's about a sailor whose ship and crew get stuck in an ice field. he kills an albatros, which makes the winds stop blowing and the ship stagnant. his mates die off leaving him alone, and he has to look at them lying there day by day. somehow he cannot die. so this and that happens (lazy to tell) and in the end he makes it back to land. he spends his life thereafter traveling and telling people he feels he should tell about his voyage. i don't want to be a sailor.

back to work...

i've just looked through a bunch of australian universities' websites and found 3 more with the course i want. (speech language pathology) but, they're not in melbourne.. they're all over the place everywhere other than melbourne. great... oh, but i also found out that LaTrobe has accepted ACE graduates before.

my throat is bad. =(


mommy and daddy like to act lovey dovey in front of me to make me jealous since i don't have a boyfriend. sometimes it gets very juvenile. like yesterday on the way home from northpoint, daddy sat behind mommy in the bus and kept hitting her seat to disturb her. then she laugh laugh laugh. then daddy giggle giggle.

T_T"

haha...

i have fallen prey to the horrendous haze. my throat is quite infected. sad! i HATE sore throats. i'd choose a fever over a sore throat.

went out to northpoint for tea with parents in the late afternoon, a little while after the rain stopped. i went to popular to get uhu glue and some other stuff but i was all wrapped up in my red hoodie and sniffing away. the air con made me feel horrible. :( got home and relaked on the floor for a while.. watched invincible youth! they MADE tofu.. and kimchi pancakes. *drools* had 15 mins of dinner before sky came. quizzed him with my pink-rimmed mini white board, haha.

my throatttt. it's so swollen right now. i am not looking forward to the pain tomorrow morning. =( i saw it in the mirror just now. one angry shade of red! must still give thanks. at least i don't have cancer, or.. leprosy. leprosy is gross.

i just made and ate a huge tuna sandwich for supper. i must move more tomorrow. but hey, it was tuna mayo light. ;D

mommy's on mc today and tomorrow. her sinuses are acting up, i think. :(

the weather today was wow. HOT then POURING RAIN then strange steamy feeling.

to do:
-ask sky to go for art class and sunday school
-reply s. joycelyn

i need a clutch. :|

thanks for the ride home, jamie. :)

there was quite a crowd at church today because some people from shalom came by to join us. i 'helped out' in the chapel time, although help wasn't really needed. just thought i'd lend a hand. then it was off to CH's place for the clay practice thing. we were trying out our hands at claywork so that we'd be able to help the kids during the art class on the 19th and 20th. made sheep-shaped container things.. my sheep had funky hair. left his place at 4. ezra is ridiculously cute!

when i got back sky's mom came over with him. helped her figure out how to do some maths worksheets, so she could go home and teach him herself, since there's no tuition today and she didn't really wanna disturb me. shortly after they left, my relatives from my dad's side came to collect some stuff and see our house. they almost never come over. in fact my cousins were here for the first time. had to entertain them for a while, then they left for dinner downstairs.

my mom and i are really not getting along... again. i'm very tempted to blabber on about it but, you know, cannot right? i myself don't really like it when people use their blogs as venting spaces uncontrolled. so i shall stop there.

DAYS

TODAY. wow i can be very ugly.

dinner with mom.

dinner with mom another day? she got an ibrush as her prize. funny right?

forest adventure! sweaty, eep!

finally managed to hook up my phone to the comp. i don't really like the way i look in these pics, but nevermind. haha.. my blog needs pics! it's becoming so wordy now...

pretty zombied today. feeling sticky and grosse.. waiting for the shower to be free so i can pong pong.

i fell asleep on the floor beside the dining table just now. (!) i think.. i fall asleep on floors too easily. when i woke up, bran had drooled all over my arm. he was sleeping beside me. funny.

wenjing is coming over for dinner later. and i have tuition today too, if i'm not wrong. hope the boy's more determined today, or else i can't really do much with him and will have to end up calling his mom again.

i just saw these koreans eating this boiling hot soup thing on family outing and i am now seriously HUNGRAY. like sounds-coming-from-stomach hungry.

congrats to tim lim on your getting to move to the site you wanted. and to mommy for getting another award at your workplace! :)

geil, idk what i want. but i will think about it and tell you. seriously i will one. heh.

sky was being lazy and stubborn today. grr.

daddy's trying hard to promote the company he's working for. it's called melaleuca. we've switched over to all their products... shampoo, soap, toothpaste, detergent, cleaning stuff, hairspray, facial stuff, vitamins and supplements, milkshakes, energy bars, almost everything. he says we have to use it for ourselves so we can promote it to others properly, you know, like test it on ourselves first to prove that it's good. so far, so good. oh, other than the acne wash i used. that was too strong. then again i didn't have acne, so.. serves me right for buying that lah. you get money back guarantee anyway...

basically, melaleuca is a wellness company. haha whatever that means. they manufacture products that are environmentally friendly, healthy, and high quality, meaning they don't use cheap or harsh chemicals as do many other companies (secretly!). many products are also plant based whenever possible. they don't advertise or go through retailers so as to make prices affordable for the quality you get. their marketing strategy is very different from your popular brands. that's why they have melaleuca supermarkets, and knowledge of it is spread mostly by word of mouth by people like daddy. if daddy promotes it to people and they sign up for melaleuca under him, he earns a certain percentage. like the tupperware kinda thing, but slightly different.
so to buy melaleuca stuff, you can either buy as a direct or preferred customer. preferred customers (like us) get a 30%-40% discount off all items, but we commit to buying 35 points worth every month (about 90 bucks), which means we buy almost all of our household stuff there. it's like switching from all the different brands of stuff to melaleuca. direct customers don't have to buy any points worth of stuff, they just buy whatever whenever. but they don't get the discount, although they still enjoy the 60 day money back thing.
melaleuca 101. it started in the US about 25 years ago. it's active in 16 countries. and melaleuca means tea tree, i think. so says timmy. =D i suddenly thought of blogging about it myself cos i heard daddy on the phone talking about it to someone.

go tell my dad if you're interested. haha. and go to the website!

i bought the dress i needed. can cross that off my to do list. :) had an english test today. eazypeazy. oh, the dress i bought at takashimaya, paid with vouchers, and i didn't quarrel with mommy. what a fine day!

tuition shifted to wednesday, meaning i can't visit mama. but that's fine. mommy will go.

sunday
jerry: if you can do singapore science, ACE science will be chicken feet!
ag: well that's true.. ever wondered-- why 'chicken feet?' why not cow feet or pig feet?
jerry: i also dunno. maybe chicken feet are small!
ag: ?????

talk about being more confused after the (attempted) explanation.. hahah.

after i finished my schoolwork i went to get my hair done at SSC.

tired. gonna zee. :)
oh our mio box has some problems and it's making the TV and internet all wonky. tsk!

congratulations~

...to mommy on her excellence award!
...to des on his photojournalism thing awards!
...TO THE PARENTS WHO EXPECTING! (ah!)

today was teens club, lunch with uncle jacob and family, cleaning church, choir, a long wait, then home. thanks to edward for helping in every possible way. you are seriously sweet. ;) hope you finish your truckload of homework soon. fighting!

LOW D
at the voiddeck...

tim: a low D
agg: i'm remembering the note ah, go home check.

agg:(presses low D) WAH CORRECT LEH. YOU FARTED IN LOW D.

SKYMATHS

ag: okay QY, subtraction. can you remember what your teacher taught you?
sky: yes.
ag: read the instructions.
sky: *blah blah*
ag: do you know how to do the first one?
sky: no.
ag: okay. look here. how many snakes are there altogether?
sky: *counts* seven!
ag: now how many snakes are inside the box?
sky: three.
ag: so we take seven, and minus those in the box. seven minus how many?
sky: three!
ag: correct! good, you're thinking. so how many are left after you minus those in the box?
sky: maybe the snakes in the box were tired, so they wanted to go home first.
ag: maybe..

my dad's first mom (first wife of grandpa. he had 3 wives.) is very very sick and in the ICU. i think she's in TTSH. she's a really sweet old lady. =( my dad's gonna bring his mom to visit her later in the afternoon.

TIM IF YOU'RE READING THIS, SORRY I DIDN'T GETTA SEE YOU LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING. was busy fighting with mommay over the dress thing, hahar. (no seriously we got into another spat.) see you later tonight okay!

-write up the assignment BJ gave.
-make 10 cards for isa's order of 40.
-call aunty irene.
-go to novena square.
-100 crunches. HAHA.
-eat more regularly. my bio-food clock is insanely messed up and i've lost weight, which isn't entirely a bad thing, but i think i may be getting gastric because of that.
-drink one big mug of hot coffee. yeah~
-cut nails. i look like a werewolf. haha i just figured out how to spell werewolf. was thinking wearwolf? warewolf?
-do the vocab project thing for my english. T-T"

thank God my skin is getting better. it's still peeling but it doesn't feel so tight anymore. :D happy.

geil, i wrote the appointment on my calendar as this friday leh, which issit ah? thursday or friday? let's go eat tao hway and talk. i buy since you didn't get ang paos.

i have a new big bro named matthias poi. :) he's graciously bringing me to his OFFICER'S COMMISSIONING BALL NEXT MONTH. (goes mad) that's what i've been searching for a dress for.

*smiles* ball leh. how often does one get to attend a ballllll? haha.

thanks matt!

the right side of my neck is aching. but it's not that bad, only hurts when i turn my head.

reached back from lunch at 4 plus? i can't remember. but i'm still too full for dinner, so i think i'll just give it a pass. had 'reunion lunch' with some people from my previous church. haven't seen some of them in 10 years? (!!!) and there were some people i didn't know as well. stuffed myself and talked and spaced out and came home.

thank God it only started raining like wow AFTER i reached home. awesome weather.

i got (sort of) interrogated about homeschooling again today. haha, about what? my PR skills. it's ironic when i'm talking and laughing and having a nice time with people and then they start to ask me if i have socialization problems.

guy: so why did your parents wanna do that? scared of bad influence issit?

ag: that's not exactly the main reason... *blah blah about homeschooling why my parents were for the idea*

guy: *skeptical and doubtful*

ag: (a little visibly irritated) they weighed the pros and the cons and they felt it was the better thing to do for us.

guy: i still don't buy it.

ag: (my goodness this guy won't stop.) i'm.. not really selling it to you. *eats a meatball*

everybody: LOL.

thanks to sam for the nice time. awesome big bro.

forest adventure at bedok reservoir today was FUN! thank God for the perfect weather.. the sun wasn't glaring hot or anything, and it didn't rain either. PERFECT. :)

basically we learned how to use the harnessing equipment and climbed up trees to do some obstacles. and we did those zip line things too where you fly across the water. it's fun but quite strenuous. think i'm gonna be sore tomorrow.

came back, bathed, and barely ate two sandwiches before falling asleep. oh, but before i fell asleep i had to be host to s.SL's parents who came early for the chinese dinner fellowship thing. talked to them for a while and brought out the drinks. used up almost every drop of my chinese in my vocab, cos mr. huong started talking about how animals and humans lived in harmony before sin entered the world in genesis. funny.. after talking for a while he suddenly asked me "ni ting de dong ma?" (you understand?)

ag: ting de dong~. chuang shi ji shi GENESIS, then, fan zui shi COMMIT SIN. dui ma? =D

mr. huong: ah hen hao hen hao.

then he started singing to my dog and telling me that he understands. cute right?

so after that i crashed for about 2 hours. had a very scary dream about a stalker who wanted to kill me. got up opened my room door to be welcomed by a bunch of people who'd come for dinner. after attacking the food i had to entertain the kids for a while, then we took a group pic in which my eyes look just-wake-up. and everybody went home. chilled and lazed around for a while and blah blah now.

just realized it's my turn to teach the kids tomorrow. and i need to pay des. and i need to go for a steamboat lunch. hopefully my skin will be better tomorrow... it's peeling awfully today. cos of new facial wash and toner that're too strong, which i have stopped using.

pics when i get them. of forest adventure, not my peeling face. goodnight! ah wait, what to wear tomorrow...

TO DO:

-buy sandwich stuff for tomorrow's outing.
-continue search for dress.
-search unis in sydney with my course.
-apply zit zapper for tim.
-clean up my piggy room cos ppl coming to visit tomorrow.

today was mundane. i think i'm using that word too much nowadays. what to do~

went around some places by myself trying to find a dress for an upcoming occasion next month. nothing nice so far, but i've still got lots of time, so no worries.

something pretty bad happened and i was feeling bad about it. but it was one of those inevitable things, so.. i guess with time it will get better. sorry have to be vague.

my teeth are hurting.

i feel very bad right now; i am so sorry. i'm really really sorry.

Pink Sisters.

tim and i went for the ABC visitation today. three houses. was feeling pretty drained this morning, probably because of the late night before. this was at sis. shiow lin's place.. the kids' room. they have a really sweet room. ;) after that we went to aunty mary's place, then BJ's, where we watched a cartoon about eric liddel.

i think i'll get my hair straightened next month. long curly hair is quite high maintenance.

that's jamie. she's already taken, guys, so don't ask me about her. tsk.

today was a fine day.

mama came over in the morning and stayed throughout the day until around 5pm, i suppose. we had breakfast with her and EE, then the lovely ongs came to visit us. magdelena is mad cute! she frowns at my braces for minutes, just studying them and wondering why this jie jie has shiny on her teeth. :D tim and i left at 1pm to meet up with matt for lunch. i think tim and matt are like twins.

we ate at food rep. at vivo. chit chatted about tim's driving and stuff. then we walked around in vain search of a nice (and not ridiculously expensive) wallet for matt. who knew there's a shop called world of golf ? one club costs like, 2k. woah--

thought of going to the esplanade so we headed to city hall. but we got caught up looking at stuff in HMV and the time passed so quickly, so in the end matt had to go to send someone off at the airport and tim and i made our way back home. reached back around 6.30pm. the day just zooms by too fast.

i didn't really get to spend time with mama, so.. think i'll visit her on wednesday.

am in deep thought now. not about anything serious, but i'm in deep thought. the kind of deep thought that borders on zoning out (abit contradictory right?) been staring at this post for like, 15 mins. haha~ okok publish post.

I-AM-TIRED. but i'm in a bloggin' kinda mood. :)

today was a marathon. church, aunt's place, ah mah's place, and another aunt's place. reached home around 11 i think. phew~

yes, thank God mama got to go to church today. she really likes going to church, although she can't hear anything at all. i guess she's just happy at the thought that she's in God's house. AND fyi, everybody, she has superb facial/physical recognition skills so she remembers many of you and asks about y'all frequently. namely, isa, des, BJ, uncle ro, sis gemma, etc. but she doesn't refer to y'all by name, she refers to you by ... injuries. (LOL) for sis. gemma, she remembers her in her preggy state. ANYWAY. she'll be coming to my place, for the first time in such a long time since my uncle took her away, tomorrow! i'll have to prepare my bed and all for her to rest on. on a worrisome note, i hope she doesn't feel sad seeing my room all transformed, her bed gone and all. =[


no photos of today. i didn't take any, let tim be the photographer. :) if i get them i'll post 'em up asap.

oh randomly, i got to meet my adoptive uncle at my aunt's house. he and his wife, whom i've not seen in ages. we used to be neighbours and tim and i played at his place alot cos it was a little taste of kampong life. it was so so so nice seeing him again, especially after hearing the incredible story about his life as a young person. inspires me a little to continue my grandmother story. teehee.

i'm gonna zee soon. will post more of whatever comes to mind about today... tomorrow. goodness i can't even construct a proper sentence now. so tired! cheerio people.

REUNION DINNER later tonight, will be leaving at around 4pm.

the house is pretty clean now. parents did some spring cleaning from morning to afternoon. i spent the morning looking up universities in australia with my bro sam who wants to go there too, after NS. some options, but i still like LaTrobe best. now the noon heat is on and i feel like going back to sleep. but of course, i can't.

CNY is not very fun when you're not close to your relatives. just, matter-of-factly speaking.

after praying, lie on floor and stare at ceiling.

yawwn. dunno why i'm so tired today. goodnight everybody!

finally settled my GO card problems. first, canceled wrongly-mailed card. then, updated new address, and finally got my card! mommy still doesn't really see why i need a card but whatever, i really do. when i'm stuck outside without cash, i have to actually consider illegally busking for money to get home. sing song or do some magic performance. (exaggerating) but you know what i mean...

so yay!

timmy got home really early today, like 10 plus. CNY special. =) he's snoozing.

the weather is not favorable. but must thank God anyway. i'm sure someone's enjoying the heat. maybe roy... and edward. someone please buy some caffeinated drink for edward tonight. hahaha~ joking, edward!

i scored well for my (dreaded) maths test. thank God!

DINNER! hungry aggie eats ugly. hahar. one leg on chair.

yesterday i really slept on the bus ride back. mommy (sitting far behind) says my head was everywhere. (i dunno why my head bobs around everytime i sleep on the bus. must look so stupid lah.) when i woke up there was so much hair in my face. i looked at the lady beside me, the lady looked at me, i turned to the window.

i like my tiger tee shirt. :))

reunion dinner this saturday aaaaaaaahck! opportunities.

sitting at some void deck bench thing at the HDB area near the home. it's always nice and windy there. ^-^

was just asking my korean t'cher what white day was all about, since we don't have it in singapore. it's basically like another valentine's day. *couples cheer singles boo*

just finished my lunch. had a maths test today! i think i did well leh. =D we'll see.

today is visit mama day! yesterday i was feeling a bit lazy, but now i'm looking forward to seeing her. my dad's going too, but i'll be meeting him and my mom over at the home. =)

my brain is a bit messy right now. i need to organize.

The Cute Sky

"okay, you dunno how to spell spaceship right? space | ship. space, you know what's space? there's outer space, and there's 'hey i no space' kind of space."

"ya, ya, i know! eh jie jie agnes you know hor, today in chongfu school right, there's this boy. i'm purple he is green. his name is........ keith! then at assembly.......... he NO SPACE." *very serious face*

"pfft hahahaha~ isssit?! then how?"

"then my teacher ask me to move baaaack so he got space."

"ah, good. it's not nice to make our friends squeeze. you don't like to be squashed right?"

"noooo."

(later)

"now sentences."

"it's called dictation, QY, and there's only one sentence. ready? the firefighters ride on the fire-engine."

(his paper)

the fire __(?)__ riot on the fire-engine.

spent the evening making little bow hairclips and elastic headbands. it's fun but:
1. i need more materials.
2. i dunno whether to sell them or give them or use them.

convo...
i rush to the toilet during the sermon. des gets there first.

A: =(
D: u go first
A: ah, nvm u go first
D: u go first. i need to do big one.
A: ... me also. heh heh. wait, ok i go first.

(in toilet)
A: so paiseh so paiseh aaaaaah.

last night i was on msn and my old bro sam heard that i was really down. so he sang me a song. (!!!) it really served it's purpose cos i was laughing alot by the end of it. so funny so funny. talked a bit, and he gave me a super-thorough update on the mcbc (old church) peeps.

SAM thanks for keeping in touch even though i'm always so lazy to keep in touch. sorry! (i'm quite a lousy friend to you lah.) see you soon.

today i am fine again. =) lots to give thanks for.

my love MAMA

she doesn't look too happy, does she? haha~

selfcam. to keep as momento of my curly hair. and also cos i wanted to see if the lipstick (mommy's) matched my outfit. lol. the camera makes my hair look two toned. -_-

today was bittersweet. or sweetbitter, to be chronological. the day started out bad cos we were late due to some people. went to church, went for lunch, then went to see mama.

mama looks fine. weak but fine. they did something to her arm, i dunno what. we're gonna see her again this weds. thanks for the concern, everyone. =)

after that we went to northpoint to get hooks for tim's specs. mommy and i shopped around. got into a spat with her there. came home, resolved the spat, went down for dinner, got into another argument. i really shan't elaborate, so as to spare you the trouble of having to take a side. i'm just having a really hard time with her, and i can't share cos it would be like trying to earn points with other people, you know? i'm having such a bad evening right now. and on top of that, i have goldfish eyes.

sorry i can't go for choir practice today, my momma has alotta stuff she wants to do (like buy soil, wash curtains, make popiah, do ironing) and she needs me at home to help her. she says she only has today to do it all, so. help her lor.

i don't really get along that well with her these days. especially if we start talking more. shall not elaborate. :( i go help her make popiah now...

credits to geil for the banner pic. finally found a nice pic for a banner! :D

daddy is going for a conference in KL over the weekend, for his work. he'll be visiting a church there that he went to last time? have no idea how he has contacts there but he does. haha. have a safe trip, daddy! not that he reads my blog, but. shoutout to him anyway.

going for prayer meeting soon. the weather's great, donchya think? :)

SKY came by yesterday.

geil has brace issues again, ah! she has to wait a whole week before she can get it fixed. :( chongshin! anything i can do to make you feel better lemme know.

my dad's at home alot more now after starting his new job. so i'm eating alot of good breakfasts and lunches, and i'm putting on~ oh nonono. haha. every morning there's the choice to skip breakfast or have carrot cake, or longtong, or prata. how to skip breakfast you tell me.

bran and i need more exercise. or we might just die too early. that wouldn't be good.

mama is back at the home. think she was discharged yesterday. =) i miss her. maybe i'll go see her on monday. or sunday.

jacob jiayou~ go catch all those nasty intruders who anyhow sail into our territory!
timmy jiayou! go.... make good MP vids and stuff! i wanna see the dogs leh-- heehee. can take pic?

the bank sent my debit card to my old address aaaaah! lkjsfijshfijanvjakfnaksnowmustgoaskthehouseownerhaveanotsotroublesome! somemore dunno why the lady at the bank like so pissed off with me liddat.

went down to get some munchies for myself and sky IF he does his work well, and bought myself one roll of popiah. ONE roll instead of (the usual) 3, because i see cellulite. *screams* or maybe i'm just freaking out cos i'm so bloated today.

i am not feeling good. girl thing.

on a more serious note, mama's been admitted to.. i dunno which hospital, should be SGH since she always goes there. i was all crampy yesterday so i couldn't go to the home to see her. instead mom and dad went with food and clothes and everything. they had to come back with all the stuff in the end cos she wasn't there. none of us really knows the details, since the caretakers there didn't say much. they mentioned something about the thing in her arm used for dialysis. so, either its infected, or they wanna check up on it, or they wanna do something to it?

i was trying to figure out what to pray for exactly and i guess, i should just pray that she won't have to go through anything painful? the rest is up to God, you know, whether she lives a few more years or not. not that i don't want her with me for longer, but she's put up with so much, and who am i to ask God to let her stay when it's her time to go? i hope people get my drift and don't think i'm a meanie who purposely doesn't pray for long life for her grandma. O_o haha~

gotta get back to school work.

bought this FOND (nice shop. i have another dress from there.) dress for $3! from the thrift shop last year. yes, s. yunli has the same dress. BUT i must say she looks better in it than me cos she's more.. curvy. (envious face) so i'm gonna chop off some of the sleeve and add some elastic to them. all the cloth makes me look lost in the dress.

TRREE DOLLARSSS. mal do an dweh.

Cleaning Church (last Saturday)

oopsie.

bare face! :O monging out at the merciless heat outside.

SKY needed help with his homework today so he came over in a hurry just now. he wanted to borrow our salt shaker and bring it back another day cos he thought his household was outta salt. so i told him that if he ate too much salt he could get a heart attack next time.

=)

mommy wanted to practice her singing with tim at the piano but i made her crack up until she couldn't sing. funnay~

i did not sleep much last night, dunno why. woke up today feeling floaty. i even sort of looked like a cloud. haha. my blouse.

taught the kids in chapel. they were pretty good. =) service ended and i went home to lunch with mommy who wasn't feeling well today. crashed on the cool floor right after that and only woke up at 6. (!!!)

oh, i overshot my free sms by quite alot last month. :| must cut down. i should call more...

my upper row of teeth is just.. aching like wow. it is so painful. *pouts* i think my two front teeth were refusing to move so the doc made the wire rrrreally tight this time. it better work. i drooled all over my pillow.. and i can't eat properly again.

on top of that, my skin is peeling. lovely~

ORTHO appointment today (braces) at 3.30pm. geil is down with a fever so she can't come with me. sigh~
get well soon honey bunny. drink alot of water and bathe alot. see you when i see you.

jake finally got out of camp yesterday and has today off! *cheers*
and today uncle tim gets out of reservice. *cheers*

thank God i don't have to go through army life.

sky's reward after one hour of studying. he got to play with the nerf. hahaha-

today was mundane. again. studied, had lunch, bathed cos i was so grosse, drew a little, went to northpoint to buy more paper for cards, came back and napped, woke up and cleaned up the house, spent time with sky, had dinner, watched the pupil (woots) and blah blah now. timmy's back.

i'm using a new product for my blackheads and it's strong. so my nose area looks a little sunkissed and so very oily! eeep-

jamie is this something like what you were talking about? i would totally wear this too.

mundane days...

daddy is now working for a company called melaleuca. so, his schedule has changed alot and he's home much more. which i have yet to get used to still. at least now someone can help me out with the housework! =D

timmy's on duty tonight so he'll be staying in camp.

if all goes well, i should be giving sky tuition for a couple of weeks, or months, i dunno. his mom approached me on monday asking me if i could, and for those who don't already know, i really like sky alot. and i'm sure the opportunity didn't come by chance. so i said yes.
