I'm doing my Math now. I just returned from a game in AuditionSEA with some of my friends from BlogSkins. Many say that my skills are beyond my level in that game. I guess all those years of typing have paid off. Alright, I'm going back to solving some pathetic questions. Should I leave it till tomorrow?
p.s. to Janet, come online now. Your blogskin is ready!!!
I should learn to play the guitar soon.

I went back to school today to wrap up the SDMA submission for my group, but in the end something silly happened and we opted out of submission, which was VERY stupid, in my opinion. If I got to call the shots, I would just tell Isaac to add the text and submit, but he keeps persisting on not submitting because three other works were already chosen. Anyway, I don't really want to post about what happened today. It was totally silly. I even made myself silly to keep the tension low in that situation.
Since I have nothing better to do (well except Chinese, but who does that in the middle of the night? Well, OKAY, I'm procrastinating, whatever), I'll just reply all my tags. I didn't get a lot of tags in the week I was away, so that's good... I think?

Hate is just a word for somebody you love but no longer believe in.
(By the way, I hate ulcers)
I was just browsing quotes to help me think about the things that happened in 2008. This one is by Hugh Macleod. The year is almost coming to an end, and I just want to stop all this childishness and immaturity that is still growing in me. I'm sure that many things have made me very angry, but I'm also sure that I always use the word "hate" in my mind. This quote made me think about it. Why is there hate in this world? Is it because people don't believe in loving the people they hate? If they just believe in believing, maybe we can turn it all around, I guess. The "I hate ulcers" part is just to vent my anger on the ulcer on my tongue. I'm now trying to make it heal by eating salty potato chips. Argh.
Anyway, I'm very very psyched. When my parents went to welcome me back at the airport from South Korea, they told me we might be going back to Japan next year. You know, I simply love Japan, but I think I like South Korea more. But what the heck, we might be going to Hokkaido next year. But I kind of want to go Australia first. Hmm, I should learn to be satisfied with what I have now. See you in Japan next year! Hahah, I'm sure I'll have a great time.

pictures from South Korea
Right, so here are some of the nicer pictures I took when I was over at South Korea. I'm not very much of a camwhore and quote Janet, "i have crooked mouth, 6 toes, squinted eyes and no hair". So, most of them are landscape pictures with the occasional "WHO DAT UGLY FACE?!". And no, I'm not trying to be thick-skinned or anything of that sort. Just take a look, I spent almost an hour editing all the pictures.
The scenery outside our Residence Hotel at Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province (I think).
It's just nearby Seoul, anyway.
This is me outside the hotel. Hui Yen took this picture, because if I don't take pictures of myself my parents will kill me for some apparent reason.
This is a picture of Seoul I took when I was in the coach. There's around four more took in the coach, I think.
It's right below...
This is the Han River, the main river that flows through Seoul all the way to North Korea. Quite amazing.
This picture was taken outside the restaurant where we had our ginseng chicken soup (in Seoul still).
The restaurant signboard is just right there.
Myeong-dong! The lovely place where Hui Yen tripped over a short pole and fell! Hahah. I'm such a sadist. I love this place though.
Notice Edward Cullen in the Korean Twilight poster at the back? I have a separate picture of the super huge cinema, but it was kind of ugly. I think I'll be catching the movie soon with Hui Jie since it's showing in South Korea already, I think.
They were filming some lame show when the kids clustered around this mascot I intended to take without them. Spoilers, argh.
The Coffee Bean at Myeong-dong which has four floors. I remember having to climb up to the highest floor just to use the toilet.
Our shot in Myeong-dong! Too bad Jeremy couldn't take with us because he was eating his Baskin Robbins.
The sculpture outside Myeong-dong and in front of Shinsegae.
The Times Square of South Korea, I guess? Hahah.
Alright, so I had a fun time at South Korea. Hope you have a fun time looking at all these pictures. Hahah.

before the worst
I spent the WHOLE day trying to complete my English webquest, but it is still not done yet. I think I'll continue tomorrow. I took such a long time trying to find the information and relevant pictures. I'll be leaving for Malaysia in around 2 weeks, so I think I should wrap it all up (my homework) by then? Chinese is almost impossible for me to finish within 2 weeks, so I'll leave it aside first. I'm now halfway through my Math and English, and that leaves Science and Social Studies, right? I think I better go by a schedule. The pictures will be up real soon (by real soon I mean later tonight or maybe tomorrow, if I procrastinate).

trip to South Korea
Alright, so as I mentioned yesterday, I'm finally back in Singapore. I'll be blogging about the trip to South Korea in this entry. The photos will be uploaded soon, don't worry!
Monday (17/11/08)
My parents went to see me off when I went to Changi Airport T3 to check in my luggage in the morning. After the checking in of the luggage, we had breakfast while the rest went to buy sweets since their parents already rushed home after the photo-taking. When the break ended, we had to quickly assemble at the check-in point, where we bid our goodbyes and arrived at the customs to board the plane to the airport in Incheon. The plane is a Singapore Airlines plane which was supposed to fly to Vancouver and transit in Incheon.
When we arrived at the airport in the evening at around 6pm, it was already pitch dark in South Korea. The weather was also quite cold, but the wind was gentle so it was okay. Also, when we landed in South Korea, Jerome's handphone's LCD screen cracked. I think it should be something related to the Turtle Curse? Hmm... I think it's best not to talk about it right now. Hahah. We then took the coach to have our dinner after all the passport and luggage issues were taken care of. Our dinner was actually barbecued pork, which was very yummy. The Muslims went to eat at an Islamic restaurant. We took photos of the yummy spread of food which I think I still have it in my handphone. Hahah. After that, we just went straight to our hotels which was pretty boring because I forgot the room numbers of all my friends. Sigh, so I turned in early.
Tuesday (18/11/08)
We started the real tour on the next day. We had our breakfast at the hotel and it was hilarious. When we wanted to have our drinks, there was grape juice and orange juice, but the Koreans' English was so bad that they labelled the drinks wrongly. In the end, the orange juice was called "grape juice". When we went to take our meat dumplings, the label on the tray said "a fried dumpling". Hahah!
After our breakfast we took the coach to the National Museum of Korea. That place was huge, I'll put up some pictures of it soon. It looks grand and has a cool ceiling. The exhibits were boring, though. I was looking forward to seeing some paintings but in the end, it was all sculptures and historical remains of clay jars and stone carvings. Boring. Yawn! We went to take pictures at the stairs outside the building, but it was freezing cold and the wind was blowing like there was no tomorrow. The scenery was great though.
After touring the museum, we found out that we ended early and managed to go to an extra tourist attraction after having our lunch, which was ginseng chicken soup! Yum yum. We went to the shopping district of Myeong-dong, which was located near a super branded department store (Shinsegae, I think) and Namdaemun Market. There were a lot of stores with lots of labels like Adidas and Nike and the food stands sold really yummy and steaming hot food which was really good (in such weather like the one in South Korea, at least). However, the wind was merciless so we were eventually forced to go down to an underground shopping mall near the shopping district. I love shopping in South Korea, it is so fun! Hahah.
After that we took a one-hour long ride from Seoul to Incheon to go to the school (Incheon International High School). When we arrived, we were shown to our dormitory rooms and it was huge! Four people shared one room and there were two bunk beds. We then went down for dinner. The food was edible but not very tasty and Jerome gave us a shock when he saw the menu - he told us there will be snails in soup for lunch the next day. After dinner, we camped in our dormitory rooms for a while until we went down to the auditorium for their welcome performance. The school had an orchestra and a band which had electric guitars and drums, and a traditional music group. There was also a harmonica performance which was unbelievably great. I enjoyed the band's performance the most - they played to Green Day and Kelly Clarkson songs and the vocals were not bad too (but the Since U Been Gone was kind of a... disaster). The weather was VERY cold... still.
I turned in after having supper at the school's cafeteria, which I forgot to mention was really different than the canteens in Singapore schools. The food is presented like a buffet and the students just take their food plates and eating utensils and get the food from the trays. They dispose of all their eating utensils (spoons and chopsticks), food plates and soup bowls in designated trays. The waste food is thrown in some special container with a cover. They don't even have to buy the food! But I'm not saying that the canteen in Ngee Ann is horrible.
Wednesday (19/11/08)
We had our breakfast at the cafeteria that day. It was unusually cold for a morning and the breakfast was something like lunch, with vegetables and stuff. After that, we went up to the dormitory and prepared for a tour around the school.
To be quite honest, the school's facilities were really very good, but it's because the school is new (it was established this year) and thus the faculty is very small. Anyway, it was a bad day for a tour because the weather was just too cold. The school itself was very large and they had an outdoor court for games like basketball. The school also had a broadcasting station which I think they use to film videos for the school news or something like that. I didn't see any TVs around in the school though. The school's library was also quite cool as the seats and shelves make it a good studying place. They also had racks for newspapers and magazines. They also have a conference room where they hold debate sessions and things like that. Also, they have a huge gym with a transparent ceiling where they exercise and play indoor sports during winter. However, what surprises me the most is that they have a study room where there are individual desk with textbooks for them to study. The teachers also claim that they will study up till midnight, which was just plain crazy, in my view. Seriously, I think work weighs more than play in that school for the students, even though they have CCAs to make up for their studying time.
Anyway after the tour of the school, we went to the school computer lab to type in our comments for the blog. We then went to have a Technology lesson, where we had to assemble a car with a mouse trap on top. After that we went to have a Chinese lesson, which was hilarious because the teacher taught us to read the lyrics of a Jay Chou song. LOL!!!!! And she slowly read every sentence and also those words like "Oh" and we had to repeat after her. OH MY GOSH, IT WAS SO FUNNY. HAHAH! She even talked about DBSK/TVXQ (東方神起, some popular South Korean boy band) and showed us one of their music videos. How... strange for a Chinese lesson?
After our Chinese lesson we went for a Physical Education & Health lesson. The Singaporeans were up against the South Koreans in a basketball match and we lost both rounds by a notch. The way the girls played was super hilarious, no one was there to defend and they swarmed like bees after the ball. And Ya Xun was super funny, when she got the ball she just screamed and anyhow threw it to the South Koreans. Super funny, LOL!!!!! After that we went to have our lunch.
When we finished our lunch, we went to have an International Issues lesson (I think), but it was taught in English. It was about racism in America and was quite interesting. However, Jerome said that the lessons here were more interesting than that in Ngee Ann in front of Mdm Sharizah and when we were debriefed when our lessons ended, she lost her top and scolded Jerome. Hmm, it was actually quite inconsiderate of him to compare schools, but comparison sometimes helps us improve, right? But I don't think he should allow that fact to slip off his tongue, it's just very disrespectful. He even blogged about it, I think.
After that we went to tour the nearby buildings of the school, which was quite boring because I didn't understand half of what the guide was rambling about because I didn't really pay attention. But I know that Incheon is actually trying to become an English-speaking city like Singapore, but I think Seoul is more important for that? And I don't know why the school isn't located in Seoul. Hmm.
We then went to the Science and Technology Institute which was epically boring, no offense. Hahah. I was kind of angry that time because when we went to look at the exhibits, Wan Jing and Hui Yen were there and Wan Jing left when Hui Yen was taking pictures. I was looking at a map and when I finished it she was gone and I went up and down trying to find the students. It seriously freaked me out big time. Then, a man showed me the way to the Planetarium and I reckoned he knew I was lost since I had those expressions. Hahah. I mean, when Hui Yen left, she can just tell me to leave soon instead of just leaving like that. Plus, I'm in some foreign place and the thought of being abandoned is frightening. I was fuming mad then but the Planetarium show made me calm down. Thank goodness I didn't go crazy, if not bad things might happen. I was also angry over the fact that my friends didn't realise I was lost. I was mumbling the F-word under my breath when I walked to the Planetarium, to be honest. At least pangseh me in Singapore.
After we left, I was talking to Hui Yen and Jerome always tries to purposely get in the way. I'm fine with that if it's just jokes, but I didn't really have a chance to talk to her for the whole trip because when I do talk to her, he will tease us and say that we are a couple. I have no idea of what's his problem, but I guess it's alright. I don't really want to get angry over such matters.
We then had some rest and went to get our dinner and after that, we went stargazing with the Astronomy Club. We saw the constellations and they were beautiful but pathetic because the lens was so small. I knew that Aquila and Cassiopeia were constellations but I didn't really notice they were used to name the worlds in MapleStory. Hahah. Hui Yen wore five layers of clothing while stargazing and she couldn't even stretch her hand. It made me laugh my ass off when she was trying to. LOL!!!!!
After that we went down to have supper. I had cheesecake and some fruits, and I kind of remembered how I loved cheesecake last time. It's still as yummy as ever. Hahah. Then, I went to play basketball with Jerome, Jeremy and Sofee to warm myself up in the cold and went to sleep.
Thursday (20/11/08)
It snowed quite heavily while I was sleeping the previous night. When I woke up, the school campus was covered with layers of snow. It was so amazing. Hahah. We went to have breakfast and then I wrote messages on the snow with Jerome and Kiat Kiong. After that Hui Yen went down too and I also enjoyed the snow. Then, I had to rush up and get my luggage, until I realised it was actually SNOWING!!! I saw my very first falling snow that day. I tried to take pictures but the snow was not thick enough. Sigh, I'll get to experience that again, I'm pretty sure about it. Hahah! After some photo-taking and assembling, we were taken to Incheon International Airport to do our CIP. We had to pick garbage outside the airport under the chilly weather from gate 1 all the way to 12. It was tiring but fun nonetheless. I even went to The Coffee Bean to buy iced coffee, because it was so warm in the airport even after I did my CIP outside. After the CIP, we bid our goodbyes to the South Korean students and set off for a 1-hour ride back to Seoul to have our lunch. We had seafood steamboat, and the seating arrangements were kind of messed up and in the end I sat alone without my friends but with Wan Jing, Ya Xun and Li Hao. Ya Xun was being very nice by helping us pour the soup and giving my the squids. Hahah. Both of them were funny too. When we went out of the restaurant, it rained and the rain turned into ice. So it kind of hailed, but it only lasted for around five minutes. How amazing. Hahah! I saw my first hail. After eating, we set off for the Digital Pavilion. The technology there was very advanced but it was really very boring. After that we went to the Seoul Digital Media City where they had a presentation of their technology and we only walked around the first floor. Boring, yawn! By then, it was still very early. We took the coach to have our dinner, but there was a jam so it was delayed for around an hour. Our dinner was simply Chinese food and I had it with the teachers. Hahah! I kind of like Mr Lim Bock Boon and Ms Sayuri. Mr Lim is really nice, you'll find out why later. Ms Sayuri actually took the effort to pronounce my name. I was actually quite surprised when she knew what my name was when we arrived in South Korea in the first day.
After we had dinner, the real fun began. We checked in the hotel to put our luggage in the rooms and then we went out to take the Seoul Subway to Dongdaemun Market to do some shopping and enjoy the nightlife of Seoul. Hahah! Shopping in Seoul is really fun, honestly. We mainly walked the streets because the malls were actually wholesale retail outlets, that means all the nine floors are swarmed with clothes. I'm not really interested in clothes, hahah. I bought some food from the stalls to eat and without any doubt, they were yummy! They prepared the pizza and put it on a waffle. How creative. I enjoyed every bit of it, even if it has cheese. Hahah.
We then walked and walked and eventually, we ended up at a "Red Light District". Actually, we didn't really end up there. The Sec 3 guys told us it was there and Jerome was curious to go. Hahah. It wasn't very enjoyable and we walked away instantly after we saw some... explicit stuff.
When we went to take a look at the wholesale retail outlets, Hui Yen lost one of her gloves and it was nowhere to be found in the mall because it was clothes everywhere. We then went to Doota!, some shopping mall there and went to the basement because Jerome wanted to take a look at the Nike shop there. I almost lost both of the gloves Hui Yen lent me (she brought extras along) until I found it outside KFC. What a relief. Hahah!
After that, we shopped for a while more and then took the last train back to our hotel at Yangpyeong, where I talked with Hui Yen, Jerome, Jeremy, Wan Jing and Ya Xun about Jerome's relationships. We even stayed up until around 4 in the night talking about it and also some other random and irrelevant stuff. Hahah. In the end, we didn't even sleep at all and I was so bummed. I was also locked out of my room because Kiat Kiong got the key and I forgot to take it from him. He was in some hotel room having a night party with the other Sec 3 seniors and also didn't sleep. Hahah!
Friday (21/11/08)
It was the final day we were in South Korea. I skipped my breakfast to have some shut-eye. I lost my breakfast coupon anyway, and the buffet sucks. When I woke up, it was almost time to leave and thus I took a shower and packed my luggage to meet Jerome and Jeremy and go to the lobby. Everyone was so tired because they did not sleep, and Mdm Riza was annoyed because of their inconsideration. We had to wait for half an hour to get everyone down and when we took the coach over to the National Folk Museum of Korea, almost everyone was sleeping. The weather was exceptionally cold and the wind was blowing like crazy too, so we were glad to be in the museum. The exhibits were a little boring, so I spent my time at the souvenir shops buying things for my family. After that, we walked over to Gyeongbokgung, a palace in near the museum to look around it. It wasn't very enjoyable because it was so cold. When the tour ended, Mdm Sharizah wanted to find the toilet and went with the teachers. They took a super long time to finally get to the toilet and in the end we waited almost half an hour under the chilly weather too. We then rushed to get souvenirs at a store near the airport and I bought 50,000 won worth of seaweed. By the time we finished, it was already around 2.39pm and our flight was scheduled to depart at 4.25pm. When we reached the airport, it already hit 3pm and we had to check in our luggage too, which took an unusually long time. We finally finished checking in at around 3.55pm, which was seriously crazy. After assembling and doing a headcount, we went forward to check in to board the airplane. I was the last person to finish checking in and it was already 4.05pm then. The first batch had already rushed off, and I was feeling quite sad that none of my friends waited for me even when they knew they could catch up. Mr Lim, Kiat Kiong and Yao Hui waited for me even after they checked in earlier, so I was quite thankful for that. There remained about 7 of us only, with all the Muslim girls - Azra, Sherina and Hanis. We ran to the gate, but it was too far away so we had to take a skytrain, which was super troublesome. The most ridiculous thing was, we managed to catch up to the first batch but when we tried to run in the train, the doors closed on us. By that time, I was so freaked out already. It was already 4.08pm. Singapore Airlines even gave us a notice that they will close the gates 10 minutes prior to departure, so we had to reach the gate by 4.15pm! I was feeling so nervous then. They were already having their final call. When I was running to the gate, so many thoughts flowed through my mind. I was yet again angry that they didn't even realise I was gone. For that moment, I didn't even regard them as my friends. They left me alone throughout this whole trip, is that what you will call a companion? I was almost going to be stuck overseas, and they don't even seem to give their damn at all. I was sad. When we arrived at the gate at 4.14pm, I hastily went in and when the last person went in, the gate just closed. I was feeling so relieved, and I thank God for safely bringing the 7 of us back to Singapore. When the plane was moving, Jerome even asked Hui Yen if the 7 of us were back in the plane already. I seriously felt very offended - this really isn't a joke, I almost missed the plane if not for that 1 minute, and it is as if you and Hui Yen will leave the plane to find me. But I chose to feel relieved and I don't really want to care much anymore. I felt peaceful on the ride home, and I'm glad to finally be back in Singapore, blogging about this trip. I had a wonderful time anyway.

Hahah. We then took the coach to have our dinner after all the passport and luggage issues were taken care of. Our dinner was actually barbecued pork, which was very yummy. The Muslims went to eat at an Islamic restaurant. We took photos of the yummy spread of food which I think I still have it in my handphone. Hahah.

Anyway, it was a bad day for a tour because the weather was just too cold. The school itself was very large and they had an outdoor court for games like basketball. The school also had a broadcasting station which I think they use to film videos for the school news or something like that. I didn't see any TVs around in the school though. The school's library was also quite cool as the seats and shelves make it a good studying place. They also had racks for newspapers and magazines. They also have a conference room where they hold debate sessions and things like that. Also, they have a huge gym with a transparent ceiling where they exercise and play indoor sports during winter. However, what surprises me the most is that they have a study room where there are individual desk with textbooks for them to study. The teachers also claim that they will study up till midnight, which was just plain crazy, in my view. Seriously, I think work weighs more than play in that school for the students, even though they have CCAs to make up for their studying time.
Anyway after the tour of the school, we went to the school computer lab to type in our comments for the blog. We then went to have a Technology lesson, where we had to assemble a car with a mouse trap on top. After that we went to have a Chinese lesson, which was hilarious because the teacher taught us to read the lyrics of a Jay Chou song. LOL!!!!! And she slowly read every sentence and also those words like "Oh" and we had to repeat after her. OH MY GOSH, IT WAS SO FUNNY. HAHAH! She even talked about DBSK/TVXQ (東方神起, some popular South Korean boy band) and showed us one of their music videos. How... strange for a Chinese lesson?
After our Chinese lesson we went for a Physical Education & Health lesson. The Singaporeans were up against the South Koreans in a basketball match and we lost both rounds by a notch. The way the girls played was super hilarious, no one was there to defend and they swarmed like bees after the ball. And Ya Xun was super funny, when she got the ball she just screamed and anyhow threw it to the South Koreans. Super funny, LOL!!!!! After that we went to have our lunch.
When we finished our lunch, we went to have an International Issues lesson (I think), but it was taught in English. It was about racism in America and was quite interesting. However, Jerome said that the lessons here were more interesting than that in Ngee Ann in front of Mdm Sharizah and when we were debriefed when our lessons ended, she lost her top and scolded Jerome. Hmm, it was actually quite inconsiderate of him to compare schools, but comparison sometimes helps us improve, right? But I don't think he should allow that fact to slip off his tongue, it's just very disrespectful. He even blogged about it, I think.
After that we went to tour the nearby buildings of the school, which was quite boring because I didn't understand half of what the guide was rambling about because I didn't really pay attention. But I know that Incheon is actually trying to become an English-speaking city like Singapore, but I think Seoul is more important for that? And I don't know why the school isn't located in Seoul. Hmm.
We then went to the Science and Technology Institute which was epically boring, no offense. Hahah. I was kind of angry that time because when we went to look at the exhibits, Wan Jing and Hui Yen were there and Wan Jing left when Hui Yen was taking pictures. I was looking at a map and when I finished it she was gone and I went up and down trying to find the students. It seriously freaked me out big time. Then, a man showed me the way to the Planetarium and I reckoned he knew I was lost since I had those expressions. Hahah. I mean, when Hui Yen left, she can just tell me to leave soon instead of just leaving like that. Plus, I'm in some foreign place and the thought of being abandoned is frightening. I was fuming mad then but the Planetarium show made me calm down. Thank goodness I didn't go crazy, if not bad things might happen. I was also angry over the fact that my friends didn't realise I was lost. I was mumbling the F-word under my breath when I walked to the Planetarium, to be honest. At least pangseh me in Singapore.
After we left, I was talking to Hui Yen and Jerome always tries to purposely get in the way. I'm fine with that if it's just jokes, but I didn't really have a chance to talk to her for the whole trip because when I do talk to her, he will tease us and say that we are a couple. I have no idea of what's his problem, but I guess it's alright. I don't really want to get angry over such matters.
We then had some rest and went to get our dinner and after that, we went stargazing with the Astronomy Club. We saw the constellations and they were beautiful but pathetic because the lens was so small. I knew that Aquila and Cassiopeia were constellations but I didn't really notice they were used to name the worlds in MapleStory. Hahah. Hui Yen wore five layers of clothing while stargazing and she couldn't even stretch her hand. It made me laugh my ass off when she was trying to. LOL!!!!!
After that we went down to have supper. I had cheesecake and some fruits, and I kind of remembered how I loved cheesecake last time. It's still as yummy as ever. Hahah. Then, I went to play basketball with Jerome, Jeremy and Sofee to warm myself up in the cold and went to sleep.
Thursday (20/11/08)
It snowed quite heavily while I was sleeping the previous night. When I woke up, the school campus was covered with layers of snow. It was so amazing. Hahah. We went to have breakfast and then I wrote messages on the snow with Jerome and Kiat Kiong. After that Hui Yen went down too and I also enjoyed the snow. Then, I had to rush up and get my luggage, until I realised it was actually SNOWING!!! I saw my very first falling snow that day. I tried to take pictures but the snow was not thick enough. Sigh, I'll get to experience that again, I'm pretty sure about it. Hahah! After some photo-taking and assembling, we were taken to Incheon International Airport to do our CIP. We had to pick garbage outside the airport under the chilly weather from gate 1 all the way to 12. It was tiring but fun nonetheless. I even went to The Coffee Bean to buy iced coffee, because it was so warm in the airport even after I did my CIP outside. After the CIP, we bid our goodbyes to the South Korean students and set off for a 1-hour ride back to Seoul to have our lunch. We had seafood steamboat, and the seating arrangements were kind of messed up and in the end I sat alone without my friends but with Wan Jing, Ya Xun and Li Hao. Ya Xun was being very nice by helping us pour the soup and giving my the squids. Hahah. Both of them were funny too. When we went out of the restaurant, it rained and the rain turned into ice. So it kind of hailed, but it only lasted for around five minutes. How amazing. Hahah! I saw my first hail. After eating, we set off for the Digital Pavilion. The technology there was very advanced but it was really very boring. After that we went to the Seoul Digital Media City where they had a presentation of their technology and we only walked around the first floor. Boring, yawn! By then, it was still very early. We took the coach to have our dinner, but there was a jam so it was delayed for around an hour. Our dinner was simply Chinese food and I had it with the teachers. Hahah! I kind of like Mr Lim Bock Boon and Ms Sayuri. Mr Lim is really nice, you'll find out why later. Ms Sayuri actually took the effort to pronounce my name. I was actually quite surprised when she knew what my name was when we arrived in South Korea in the first day.
After we had dinner, the real fun began. We checked in the hotel to put our luggage in the rooms and then we went out to take the Seoul Subway to Dongdaemun Market to do some shopping and enjoy the nightlife of Seoul. Hahah! Shopping in Seoul is really fun, honestly. We mainly walked the streets because the malls were actually wholesale retail outlets, that means all the nine floors are swarmed with clothes. I'm not really interested in clothes, hahah. I bought some food from the stalls to eat and without any doubt, they were yummy! They prepared the pizza and put it on a waffle. How creative. I enjoyed every bit of it, even if it has cheese. Hahah.
We then walked and walked and eventually, we ended up at a "Red Light District". Actually, we didn't really end up there. The Sec 3 guys told us it was there and Jerome was curious to go. Hahah. It wasn't very enjoyable and we walked away instantly after we saw some... explicit stuff.
When we went to take a look at the wholesale retail outlets, Hui Yen lost one of her gloves and it was nowhere to be found in the mall because it was clothes everywhere. We then went to Doota!, some shopping mall there and went to the basement because Jerome wanted to take a look at the Nike shop there. I almost lost both of the gloves Hui Yen lent me (she brought extras along) until I found it outside KFC. What a relief. Hahah!
After that, we shopped for a while more and then took the last train back to our hotel at Yangpyeong, where I talked with Hui Yen, Jerome, Jeremy, Wan Jing and Ya Xun about Jerome's relationships. We even stayed up until around 4 in the night talking about it and also some other random and irrelevant stuff. Hahah. In the end, we didn't even sleep at all and I was so bummed. I was also locked out of my room because Kiat Kiong got the key and I forgot to take it from him. He was in some hotel room having a night party with the other Sec 3 seniors and also didn't sleep. Hahah!
Friday (21/11/08)
It was the final day we were in South Korea. I skipped my breakfast to have some shut-eye. I lost my breakfast coupon anyway, and the buffet sucks. When I woke up, it was almost time to leave and thus I took a shower and packed my luggage to meet Jerome and Jeremy and go to the lobby. Everyone was so tired because they did not sleep, and Mdm Riza was annoyed because of their inconsideration. We had to wait for half an hour to get everyone down and when we took the coach over to the National Folk Museum of Korea, almost everyone was sleeping. The weather was exceptionally cold and the wind was blowing like crazy too, so we were glad to be in the museum. The exhibits were a little boring, so I spent my time at the souvenir shops buying things for my family. After that, we walked over to Gyeongbokgung, a palace in near the museum to look around it. It wasn't very enjoyable because it was so cold. When the tour ended, Mdm Sharizah wanted to find the toilet and went with the teachers. They took a super long time to finally get to the toilet and in the end we waited almost half an hour under the chilly weather too. We then rushed to get souvenirs at a store near the airport and I bought 50,000 won worth of seaweed. By the time we finished, it was already around 2.39pm and our flight was scheduled to depart at 4.25pm. When we reached the airport, it already hit 3pm and we had to check in our luggage too, which took an unusually long time. We finally finished checking in at around 3.55pm, which was seriously crazy. After assembling and doing a headcount, we went forward to check in to board the airplane. I was the last person to finish checking in and it was already 4.05pm then. The first batch had already rushed off, and I was feeling quite sad that none of my friends waited for me even when they knew they could catch up. Mr Lim, Kiat Kiong and Yao Hui waited for me even after they checked in earlier, so I was quite thankful for that. There remained about 7 of us only, with all the Muslim girls - Azra, Sherina and Hanis. We ran to the gate, but it was too far away so we had to take a skytrain, which was super troublesome. The most ridiculous thing was, we managed to catch up to the first batch but when we tried to run in the train, the doors closed on us. By that time, I was so freaked out already. It was already 4.08pm. Singapore Airlines even gave us a notice that they will close the gates 10 minutes prior to departure, so we had to reach the gate by 4.15pm! I was feeling so nervous then. They were already having their final call. When I was running to the gate, so many thoughts flowed through my mind. I was yet again angry that they didn't even realise I was gone. For that moment, I didn't even regard them as my friends. They left me alone throughout this whole trip, is that what you will call a companion? I was almost going to be stuck overseas, and they don't even seem to give their damn at all. I was sad. When we arrived at the gate at 4.14pm, I hastily went in and when the last person went in, the gate just closed. I was feeling so relieved, and I thank God for safely bringing the 7 of us back to Singapore. When the plane was moving, Jerome even asked Hui Yen if the 7 of us were back in the plane already. I seriously felt very offended - this really isn't a joke, I almost missed the plane if not for that 1 minute, and it is as if you and Hui Yen will leave the plane to find me. But I chose to feel relieved and I don't really want to care much anymore. I felt peaceful on the ride home, and I'm glad to finally be back in Singapore, blogging about this trip. I had a wonderful time anyway.

PSLE
I'm finally home. I'm not that tired even after staying up the whole night last night without sleeping. Anyway, I will be blogging about the trip tomorrow. It was actually quite boring because I frequently got left out by Hui Yen and Jerome, and I was homesick all the while. The trip was fun too, nonetheless, because of the shopping and touring! I miss the students from IIHS. I miss the weather too, it was nice to have the chilly wind blow right in your face under a temperature of -3°C. I am being sarcastic, but cold weather is better than hot weather in my opinion. Also, the street food in South Korea is super nice. Yum yum.
After finding out about the PSLE results of the Primary 6 students, I think that many scored high marks this year, which is great, I guess. Somehow, it makes me feel inferior. But what the heck, I'm fine with my current school.
The ulcer on my tongue is killing me and I wonder when it will start bleeding again. Trust me, it's totally disgusting. I think I should sleep now.

city harvest
I went out very early this morning. It was quite irritating at first because I stayed up till 1am with my parents last night to have supper at East Coast Lagoon. Anyway, I took bus 359 to the interchange and then waited for the MRT at the station until I realised I was too early. Tay Xi was still waiting for Jia Hui to board the bus and were yet to arrive at the destination. So, I just took the train to Tampines to wait for them. When I was in the train, Yi Ren sent me a message saying that he will be meeting me at the Pasir Ris station and told me to stay there. But, our trains just crossed each other. Aww, 真是没有缘分. It's good enough to be filmed as a drama, hahah! In the end, Yi Ren went back to Tampines and met me there and we saw Xinyi, Tay Xi and Jia Hui and we went up the escalators. When we were at Tampines waiting for the others to arrive, Hui Yen told us that she was going to reach Boon Lay already. Hahah! It was very funny because she would have to wait an hour for us to reach Jurong. Anyway, the others eventually came and we wrote messages on some name cards for Ailin and Jia Jun to congratulate them on their water baptism. We then took the train off to Boon Lay and by the time we reached there, Hui Yen already waited 40 mins for us. Hahah!
The cell group then walked over to the interchange and we boarded bus 179 to City Harvest Church to support Ailin's and Jia Jun's water baptism. After that we went to have lunch at some hawker centre next to Nanyang Community Club. The whole group took up a total of four tables to have their meals. It's so ridiculous, hahah! After finishing our lunch, we went back to the church for service, and it was really beyond my expectations. We got to sit in an auditorium which can accomodate hundreds of people in one session. The sing-along session was like a concert with its band that consisted of electric guitars and drums. To put it in short, it was an amazing experience. We then listened to Pastor Kong's preaching and he briefed us on the Asia Conference (which I highly doubt I will attend since it clashes with my trip to South Korea).
Anyway, I had a great time today but it was simply tiring. I'll be leaving for South Korea on the 17th (which is tomorrow). I hope you miss me! Hahah.

good-bye days
I just completed a personality type quiz. In case you're interested, I got it here.
Here's my personality report:
Alright, so the results were kind of unexpected but I've guessed the "extroversion-introversion" part right. It's almost the same. I can be open yet I can also be private. It's too weird, I guess.
This is the description for being ENTJ...
Okay, screw that. I don't really think that's very accurate. In fact, I think that some of those claims are ridiculous. Maybe I didn't do the quiz properly? I have no idea but "natural born leaders"? You've got to be kidding me. I think I'm not fit to be a very good leader. But, I don't really give two hoots about what people think of my leadership qualities, so in the end... whatever.
My nose has been running for the entire day. I wonder how I can get rid of these allergies. Sneezing is so annoying. I hate Panadol, I once took that pill and my cold persisted for two more weeks. That obviously contributed to my frustration.
Anyway, here is a (Japanese) song I have been addicted to for the past week. The singer has a flexible voice and I like the theme of the song. Well, here's the Japanese lyrics for your reference.

ENTJ - The "Chief"
ENTJs are strategic, organized and possess natural leadership qualities. They are master coordinators that can effectively give direction to groups. They are able to understand complicated organizational situations and quick to develop intelligent solutions. ENTJs are outspoken and will not hesitate to speak of their plans for improvement. They are decisive and value knowledge, efficiency and competence.
| About the ENTJ | Expert Quotes & Links |
| "ENTJs are natural born leaders. They live in a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They have a drive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisive judgments." - Portrait of an ENTJ (The Personality Page) "...have a strong natural urge to give structure and direction wherever they are -- to harness people in the field and to direct them to achieve distant goals." - The Portrait of the FieldMarshal Rational (Keirsey) "leader, ambitious, hard working, dominant, prepared, hates to be bored, confident, opinionated, analytical..." - Jung Type Descriptions (ENTJ) (similarminds.com) | ""Unequivocating" expresses the resoluteness of the ENTJ's dominant function (Extraverted Thinking). Clarity of convictions endows these Thinkers with a knack for debate, or wanting knack, a penchant for argument. The light and heat generated by Thinking at the helm can be impressive; perhaps even overwhelming." - ENTJ Profile (TypeLogic) "At work, ENTJs contribute a wealth of energy directed toward the goals and those of the organization. Their sense of identity is closely tied to how they carry out their responsibilities. They are curious about new ideas and theories, evaluating them in terms of their goals. They are very efficient, competitive, strategic, and task focused." - ENTJ - The Leader (Lifexplore) |

Good-bye days
YUI
だからいま 会いにゆく そう決めたんだ
ポケットの この曲を 君に聴かせたい
そっとヴォリュームを上げて 確かめてみたよ
oh Good-bye days いま 変わる気がする 昨日までに so long
かっこよくない優しさがそばにあるから
～with you
片方の イヤフォンを 君に渡す
ゆっくりと 流れ込む この瞬間
うまく愛せていますか? たまに迷うけど
oh Good-bye days いま 変わり始めた 胸の奥 alright
かっこよくない優しさがそばにあるから
～with you
できれば 悲しい 想いなんてしたくない
でもやってくるでしょ?
そのとき 笑顔で "Yeah, hello my friend" なんてさ
言えたならいいのに…
同じ唄を 口ずさむ時 そばにいて I wish
かっこよくない優しさに会えてよかったよ
…Good-bye days
life
Don't even feel like blogging, but after thinking about some things, I've decided to type it out. My keyboard is screwing up on me, so it's kind of difficult.
I feel so relaxed. I'm actually happy to be away from the things that makes school the way it is - class, teachers, staying back to study with my friends. I don't really give two hoots about the assignments I have to complete during the holidays. I'm happy to be away from the pressure that always make me competitive. Determination, perseverance, confidence... I'm happy to not hear all these words anymore. Streaming year has been fun, but more of tiring. I'm happy that I don't have to hear all these "Hey, I did badly too" although you got higher marks than me, "I've got to work harder" when I got higher marks than you and "I have to chiong like siao, I'm not going to give in to Maple anymore" when the exams were coming. These six weeks are going to be something light on my shoulders. Sure, there's still the usual holiday assignments, but I feel as if I have gone through a turbulent school semester. I'm glad it's over. I'm glad all the thoughts that cloud my head during all my long bus rides home are over. I'm glad I don't have to think about how much my friends get for their tests and exams and take a peek at report slips anymore. I'm glad I'm going through these six weeks of rest.

his girl friday
I just came back from a Japanese lunch with Tay Xi's cell members!!! Hahaha. Actually we planned to watch a movie but we couldn't communicate so... lunch. I snapped a few pictures of them, but the group shot was in another person's camera so I'll have to wait till he sends me that. But for now (excluding all my shots), here are the pictures:
Hui Yen and Tay Xi in the restaurant!
Tay Xi as the ninja of the forbidden bamboo forest!!!
Right, it's only two pictures for now. Pathetic, I know, but there are some shots I took of Hui Yen eating an orange and Tay Xi which they said were not very nice, so I decided not to put it up.
I have tuition later. Aww. Good day!

gotta be somebody
I'm procrastinating, still. I actually wanted to complete my Social Studies homework yesterday, but I ended up playing games and listening to music. Even though there's 6 weeks ahead of me, will I be able to finish the Chinese book? That kind of sucks.
I'm going to E!hub to meet Hui Yen and Tay Xi with her cell group members to catch a movie or go to KBox or something. I have tuition later at 4.30pm, which gives me even more hell. So I'll just complete my Math paper tonight.
Stupid stupid stupid. I need a timetable to plan it all out. This obviously won't do.

the life and times of...
Another day in the boring + mundane + uneventful + uninteresting life of ME.
I'm bored, no doubt. I can't wait to board the plane and I can't wait to arrive in Singapore again. I can't wait to take the tour bus to Genting Highlands and laze around in the hotel till the dead of the night, waiting for my parents to come back from their gambling.
Most importantly, I can't wait to get the textbooks tomorrow. I need to complete all of my homework so I will only have the Chinese storybook to worry about. I don't even feel like reading Chinese. It's kind of like Greek to me. I still wonder how I got A1 for my Paper 2 for the final term. That sucks. Sigh!
My phone has a touch screen, too. It makes the navigation a hundred times easier. There's also a stylus at the side of the phone. Cool, right?
Right. The boredom kind of gives me hell. Oh well. I'll go hide in one corner now.

how you love me now
I turned in super early yesterday, so I didn't find the time to blog.
So, I went to the briefing for the South Korea trip yesterday at school, and it was super pathetic. We went there to listen to the same things over again and we were dismissed like, what? 15 minutes later? A complete waste of my travelling time. So, we (Hui Yen, Jerome and Sofee) decided to head over to Changi Airport to walk around since we were already so far from home. We hooked up with Isaac at the airport and went to Terminal 3, then to Terminal 2, then to Terminal 1. It was a long walk but it was very fun. We kept snatching Jerome's Nerds! Here's a super lame conversation I had with Hui Yen, but the original one is in Chinese:
Hui Yen: Let's go to the hotel! (seductive look)
Me: Go to the hotel to do what?
Hui Yen: Drink water!!!
We tried to take a lot of pictures using Isaac's camera in timer but most of them were NGs. There was this uncle who just went up to us and asked us where was B1 or something of that sort. When he went down the lift later, I said he was going to take the lift to either P1, B1 or T1 (trying to mock him because I couldn't properly hear what he was saying). Then Hui Yen cracked a silly joke and said "PBT is PANG SAI BUAY TAHAN!!!" I was laughing like an idiot.
It was a silly day, to sum it all up. I went to buy my new phone today. It's a Sony Ericsson G900. I hate the fact that handphone companies like to name their handphones with numbers. It's just too confusing. I went to eat Fish and Co. today too, but it wasn't a very good experience because there was this sauce on the fish which I thought was cheese, so I scraped it off and felt disgusted throughout the whole meal... until Hui Jie told me (on MSN) that it was butter.
I need to take a shower.

the little things
TEN things you wish you could say to TEN different people right now, without naming the person:
1) We've been so close through these two years, it's almost like we're not going to different classes anymore.

stupid premium accounts
Do you know those sites where you go to download stuff like RapidShare, MegaUpload or something like that? I really hate those sites because they like to give fake messages about how my IP address is already downloading some other file or show a stupid ticker counting down to when I can download the file. Does that even make a difference, really? They can even say that the files that I have been attempting to download have expired and I can only download it if I buy a stinking "premium account". It totally drives me crazy.
Sigh. I think I'm going insane in this boredom. It's always like that.
School = stress and holidays = boredom. I can't wait to get my books and uniform. I have to get to school tomorrow, I hope I don't forget. At least I would be able to get out and about.
Sorry Tay Xi for forgetting to turn up at your cell today!!! My memory is failing me so badly.
I tweaked my layout a little. The new design was kind of "inspired" by my tagboard. It's weird, I know, but I think it looks nicer. What do you think? Leave a tag with your opinions.
I can't wait for the release of Taylor Swift's new album. Her singles totally rock (so far). I simply love "Fearless" and "You're Not Sorry". You should listen to it. I'm looking forward to Britney Spears' album too, but not too much because some of her songs tend to be great hits but the others turn out like crap. But I'm just too addicted to "Womanizer". Yay!

morningside
I woke up at 1pm today. I was being so stupid by wasting a day away. The afternoon was spent catching up on TV shows online. I realised I've missed out on a lot of episodes ever since I stopped watching because I couldn't buffer the videos properly.
My dad bought me new earpieces for my iPod nano that I'm going to take along on the aeroplane ride. It cost me $55 for this, but let's face it, at this rate I'm going with this pair of pathetic earpieces, my right ear will go deaf in no time.

Monday (03/11/08)
I met my friends at the bus stop at Downtown East and we went to check in and put our stuff in the chalet. Hui Jie gave me a call and said that she was over at the Escape Theme Park entrance and was lost, but we were too busy trying to check in. I told her to wait until we get her. In the end, the plans clashed and only Isaac ended up taking her over to the chalet. We then went to the NTUC at E!hub to get our barbecue foodstuff and such... we only bought five bottles of drinks, major mistake. It wasn't even enough to fill our bladders. We saw Janet and her cousin there and it was super hilarious... she held a radio and the Pictionary board game in a supermarket. When we were finding the food, it was super funny, Hui Jie took the soup fishballs to grill in the barbecue. I was picturing the soupy fishballs on charcoal. Hui Yen also gave me the spreading butter, which was... MARGARINE?
We then went back to the chalet to put all the food in the pantry. Hui Jie, Janet and Jessica went to have their late lunch while I played Pictionary with Hui Yen, Jun Jie and Yi Ren. It was so hyper.
When the girls got back with my Mars bar, they told us about a bitchy woman at KFC. The conversation went like this (I think?)...
Janet: Can I have this set?
Cashier (bitchy woman): Okay, that would be $7.20 (or $7.90? I have no idea).
Janet: But, there's a student meal in that set.
Cashier (bitchy woman): Oh, I'm so sorry. But you paid already. So, next time.
When I was eating the Mars bar, it suddenly plopped on the floor and everyone screamed. It's so lame but funny.
We then went to the park to cycle too because the heavy rain stopped. The weather was perfect to go to the park. The scenery was great. We were taking such a long time that my mother had to get the cake for us.
Fast forward to the barbecue (not really, because shortly after we had to prepare already). My parents brought along lots of delicious food, but Jessica was a vegetarian, so it was totally lame. When I went to get extra drinks, I went with Hui Yen and Pearlyn to conveniently buy food for Jessica. Janet was so irresponsible! We had a hard time getting food for her because she didn't want to choose. In the end, we had to speak up for her.
My brother was taking "orders" for the barbecued food for Yi Ren when he was watching TV in the chalet. In the end, Janet and Jun Jie told him not to take the food up because he was being lazy.
We then cut the cake and all that and my parents went home. We stayed up into the night playing Truth or Dare, Harry and Mary and telling ghost stories to one another. Freaky, I guess? We also played Monopoly, and I took such a long time trying to find the batteries. All the stores were closed, including Cheers!
There was one time when the door to the girls' bathroom could not be opened. We tried to use the keys to the chalet and we removed it from the detector and suddenly the whole chalet turned dark and everyone screamed. I swear, that was so dumb. In the end, the door opened with Janet's supposed "karate chop". Some people tried to take advantage of this situation with their freaky ghost stories.
Tuesday (04/11/08)
It was a long day, and a hot one too. We woke up at around 9am and we went to brush our teeth and stuff. I watched TV while they changed and showered. After that, all of us went out to have our breakfast at McDonald's. It was pretty normal, just that we took up three tables. We walked to Escape Theme Park to see if it was open (it wasn't the day before), but it wasn't... still.
We then went back to rest, but Serene went home early because she wasn't feeling well. After that, we just went to E!hub for bowling because it was such a hot morning. Janet just stayed in and continued sleeping. My bowling skills are pathetic, so are my scores. But I managed to win Hui Yen for the second round. Bowling is fun.
After bowling, Janet went to pick us up and we simply went back to the chalet to rest. Some of us turned on the radio and danced crazily to the beat while some of us played board games and slacked in the rooms instead. After a while, we planned to go to the park for inline skating but halfway there Isaac didn't feel well and Pearlyn and Yi Ren went back to the chalet with him. When we reached the park and got our skates, it rained lightly and we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to skate, so Hui Jie helped us return the skates after a long discussion with the store owners. So, we simply had our lunch at Downtown East. We went back again. Sigh, so boring, right? But nope, I decided to take funny pictures of myself for the first time with Hui Yen and Hui Jie. I feel so thick-skinned.
We then went for bowling again because we liked it. My scores were better this time and I beat Isaac for the second round too. My mother dropped by and bought us some cookies from Subway. When we came back, a lot of people took a shower (except for me) and watched the 9pm show while Jun Jie and Isaac helped us buy the cup noodles. Pearlyn told me she finished the WHOLE OF "TWILIGHT" (a book by Stephenie Meyer) in a day!!! What the? Later, I went down with Hui Yen, Jasper and Yi Ren to Fish and Co. to have our supper and the fish was indeed nice. Jasper bought a Sprite there which totally tasted like carbonated water. We told the cashiers and when they tried it, they gave funny disgusted reactions. We talked and joked a lot with one another there and then walked back to the chalet. When I was taking a shower, they were playing lame games. Janet seemed to have problems with her cousin but I guess it's already settled. We then played a board game and went to sleep at... 3am.
Overall the chalet may not be THAT fun but it was a great opportunity to bond with my friends for the last time... I can't wait for the other trip to South Korea!!!

Cashier (bitchy woman): Oh, I'm so sorry. But you paid already. So, next time.
When I was eating the Mars bar, it suddenly plopped on the floor and everyone screamed. It's so lame but funny.
We then went to the park to cycle too because the heavy rain stopped. The weather was perfect to go to the park. The scenery was great. We were taking such a long time that my mother had to get the cake for us.
Fast forward to the barbecue (not really, because shortly after we had to prepare already). My parents brought along lots of delicious food, but Jessica was a vegetarian, so it was totally lame. When I went to get extra drinks, I went with Hui Yen and Pearlyn to conveniently buy food for Jessica. Janet was so irresponsible! We had a hard time getting food for her because she didn't want to choose. In the end, we had to speak up for her.
My brother was taking "orders" for the barbecued food for Yi Ren when he was watching TV in the chalet. In the end, Janet and Jun Jie told him not to take the food up because he was being lazy.
We then cut the cake and all that and my parents went home. We stayed up into the night playing Truth or Dare, Harry and Mary and telling ghost stories to one another. Freaky, I guess? We also played Monopoly, and I took such a long time trying to find the batteries. All the stores were closed, including Cheers!
There was one time when the door to the girls' bathroom could not be opened. We tried to use the keys to the chalet and we removed it from the detector and suddenly the whole chalet turned dark and everyone screamed. I swear, that was so dumb. In the end, the door opened with Janet's supposed "karate chop". Some people tried to take advantage of this situation with their freaky ghost stories.
Tuesday (04/11/08)
It was a long day, and a hot one too. We woke up at around 9am and we went to brush our teeth and stuff. I watched TV while they changed and showered. After that, all of us went out to have our breakfast at McDonald's. It was pretty normal, just that we took up three tables. We walked to Escape Theme Park to see if it was open (it wasn't the day before), but it wasn't... still.
We then went back to rest, but Serene went home early because she wasn't feeling well. After that, we just went to E!hub for bowling because it was such a hot morning. Janet just stayed in and continued sleeping. My bowling skills are pathetic, so are my scores. But I managed to win Hui Yen for the second round. Bowling is fun.
After bowling, Janet went to pick us up and we simply went back to the chalet to rest. Some of us turned on the radio and danced crazily to the beat while some of us played board games and slacked in the rooms instead. After a while, we planned to go to the park for inline skating but halfway there Isaac didn't feel well and Pearlyn and Yi Ren went back to the chalet with him. When we reached the park and got our skates, it rained lightly and we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to skate, so Hui Jie helped us return the skates after a long discussion with the store owners. So, we simply had our lunch at Downtown East. We went back again. Sigh, so boring, right? But nope, I decided to take funny pictures of myself for the first time with Hui Yen and Hui Jie. I feel so thick-skinned.
We then went for bowling again because we liked it. My scores were better this time and I beat Isaac for the second round too. My mother dropped by and bought us some cookies from Subway. When we came back, a lot of people took a shower (except for me) and watched the 9pm show while Jun Jie and Isaac helped us buy the cup noodles. Pearlyn told me she finished the WHOLE OF "TWILIGHT" (a book by Stephenie Meyer) in a day!!! What the? Later, I went down with Hui Yen, Jasper and Yi Ren to Fish and Co. to have our supper and the fish was indeed nice. Jasper bought a Sprite there which totally tasted like carbonated water. We told the cashiers and when they tried it, they gave funny disgusted reactions. We talked and joked a lot with one another there and then walked back to the chalet. When I was taking a shower, they were playing lame games. Janet seemed to have problems with her cousin but I guess it's already settled. We then played a board game and went to sleep at... 3am.
Overall the chalet may not be THAT fun but it was a great opportunity to bond with my friends for the last time... I can't wait for the other trip to South Korea!!!

next to me (wait a minute sister)
That song (the title) is really good.
Anyway, I can't wait to meet my friends at Downtown East later. I hope they don't lose their way...
My brother made me a birthday card and a cake out of plasticine. How sweet.
I got into Triple Science, anyway. It was probably the second best gift so far (first being my brother's) but I'm feeling quite mixed up about it? I just don't know. Anyway, I got into the course I wanted, and that's final. It's this feeling, something like... when you wanted this for such a long time already and you finally got it, the thrill isn't there anymore. But, Triple Science is a good reward for studying hard, so I appreciate it.
My maid gave me a present too! Surprising, eh?

Hey. I went to swim today, finally... it's been 2 months. Honestly, I felt like a skinny pig. Hahah.
Also, I went bowling today. My first time eh? It was quite fun actually, and I did strike... once. Heh.
Tomorrow's the chalet but I'm having mixed feelings about it. Hmm, Serene is coming over at 6pm. Perfect to start the barbecue. I'm quite relieved, actually. Hahah.
Also, the streaming outcomes will be posted on the e-portal tomorrow. It seems that lots of people are taking options no. 3 and 4. I wonder why, hmm. My second option is no. 2, but since I did not take the CS test, it's been pushed down to my third option... which is no. 3. Hahah. I just hope that I will get into the combination I want.

I went out with my parents to shop for my clothing to wear for the South Korea trip. It was boring as usual, and it never fails to make me frustrated because I have to go and in and out of the fitting rooms a hundred times every 15 minutes. Fine, that was an exaggeration, but it's enough to drive you insane.
We then drove to OG Albert (To be honest, I HATE that place) to get my pair of jeans. I'm still too skinny to wear size 28. I wonder how troublesome it would be to shop for my CNY clothes next year. Hmm, anyway, I don't really care (until I REALLY do the shopping).
I completed some quiz I saw when I went blog-hopping. Hmm, you can just do it if you want...?
