out with the girls!

Oh yayy FINALLY i can upload photos!! :) But I have a 10am lecture tmr(which i overslept last wk:(), so I shall just put up the photos of the outing out with the girls! :) Haha as requested by our little bunny...

Met up with them on 6th August, which has been quite sometime yeah :P YY and Chui met up first to shop, (and apparently spending a BOMB -.-), while SY and I met them at 7! I went after my voluntary work, on my second last day. Sigh. So ANW! We went to...


Haha luckily I took a photo of that, otherwise I have no idea which restaurant did we go to! We went ION @Orchard btw, my first time there! There were many shops, though quite a few were a little over-the-budget. Haha. Basement shops were better :) It was also my first time going to Gusttimo; it was Chui who recommended the place.

Hmm I dunno why but my camera resolution seems quite bad, the photos don't look clear. Upon my request, we each took individual photos with our food. Muahhaa. Quite nice la!! :)

Our bunny enjoying her drink, which was suuuuuper chocolaty and quite nice!! It was some chocolate gelato (?!) drink and it was like drinking chocolate ice-cream! Haha! (Oh my SY your hair looks so long here, like Rapunzel!! Haha! :P)
YY and her dinner! Which was some burger and fries. Sorry that the photo looks over-exposed, my camera's flash just sucks!


Hmm I have no idea why but SY looks as if she is planning to stab her food! Haha :P



Chui and me with our Bolognese! Hmmm actually I feel that the menu is rather limited, although the price is still okay. The food was rather good, although the serving was smallllll. Didn't feel fully satisfied after finishing my food.
My drink was some biscuit gelato, tried it cos I've never seen it before. Hmm it tasted just like biscuit, haha, a little like cookies and cream. It wasn't too yummy though, I preferred SY's drink!


SY and YY with their 3 scoops of gelato, which took agesssssssss to come. And apparently the restaurant gave them the wrong orders; they ended up eating some weird not-very-nice flavours that they did not order. Oh they ordered the dark chocolate gelato, and it was my first time eating bitter ice-cream!! It's really not sweet, just bitter. If you are a dark-chocolate lover(like me), you might like it! Though I felt it was a tad too bitter.

Chui and Rapunzel!! Hehe :P
Me and YY. Sorry for my sian look, haha! Was rather tired that night.


The group shot! :)

Anw, it felt great to just eat and chill with you girls! May our frenship continue on alwayssssss! Love!

Now it's time for me to hop off to bed, it's not good to miss 2 lectures in a row! Hahaha. More photos to be up soon!!

When you do not like a guy, no matter what he does, he is not your cup of tea.

When you fall for a guy, no matter what he does, you hope that you are his cup of tea.

So true eh? :)

Argh I can't upload photos!! And I think there's something wrong with blogger, the whole layout is weird :( Will post the photos when it's fine again then...

Should be, will be going for CO tmr. It's really idiotic and irritating how I can't make up my mind whether to quit or not. I feel kinda wimpy, how I can't even muster up the courage to say "no". Sometimes I will think through things and decide to quit, yet when I think about not playing my dizis anymore, not performing with CO anymore, not seeing the friends that I made in CO anymore,my resolve just seems to dissolve. Sigh. I never seem to have the strong character in me to refuse, since young. I have a strong feeling that I will just continue to stay on, just like how it was in year 1 and year 2. Haha. It all boils down to the choice between time and friendship(and fun); both being so important to me!! I dunno, I REALLY DUNNO!!! :( And I feel really really apologetic to all my CO friends who have been encouraging me to stay, yet I am still so undecided. Sometimes sitting on the fence is not easy, when you realise that the fence is really pricky. HAHA. tsk.

First week of school flew by really quickly, since tutorials have not started. How I wish school can be always so easy and carefree, how i wish.

Oh well I gotta go now...update again soon!!:)

New blogskin...(again)...

I think I'm done with my blogskin!! Haha it still looks abit weird I know, but I've already done what I've could. I guess we all have to live with some imperfections with life! Hoho :P

Have ended my stint at Metta Student Care centre, was helping out as a teacher to guide the children in their homework. It was a totally enjoyable 4 weeks, and I am really thankful that I have volunteered there. :)))) It's impossible to note down all the little details that happened, or the numerous sweet moments that I experienced. But no matter how minor, I will keep them close to my heart and in my memories. <3 I took aloooot of photos of the kids that I helped out with, although alot are kinda candid and not very well taken. Haha. It's not easy to get them to pose for pictures!! They either refuse to look into the camera, or make some funny silly faces. Hahaha! But THAT'S how children are, i guess. Muahaha! Will probably post some nicer ones here next time.

Was fighting back my tears a few times on my last day; it was so saddening to think that I will not be coming back anymore to teach them. This one month has seemed to fly past so quickly, I can't hold it back no matter how much i try. I was "savouring" my last bus ride to the centre, my last walk into the centre, my last time stepping into the classroom, my last time seeing the children sleep.... Haha. I know i sound so emotional, but all I can say is that this experience is really a precious one to me. :) The teachers there have been really nice to me, and although I don't agree with some of the things that they do or say sometimes (just sometimes only la :P), I still appreciate all the help and kindness they rendered to me. They were saying that I could drop by when I'm free, or even help out again in December. Hopefully I will have the chance to go back there again, to visit all the lovable children and nice teachers!! :)

There's this two Primary 5 kids that I'm especially worried about, cos I feel that their standards are wayyyy behind what they should be. They are also rather naughty, though not in the bad sense. They tend to be rather mischevious, but they will still listen when I reprimand them. I am so afraid that they will give up, and choose the "easy" way out by turning bad. What I've heard so far about them in school are not too good, but I can tell that their personalities and characters are very ok. I feel that they are in the crucial stage now, when they need alot of correct and proper guidance. The student care teachers are definitely able to keep them in check, but there are so many students in the centre, it's hard to give them all the attention that they need. Their foundations are also sooo weak, it's not what a little more guidance can help. It's a matter of weeks, maybe even months. On the last day, I kept telling them that they must do their work properly and seriously, must try their best always, not to fight in school, blahhh... haha, like a really naggy granny. They just kept saying "orh, orh, orh", but I know it takes more than just a few words to really have an effect on them. Sigh. Just hope that they will do their best and improve soon. :)

Haha I think if I'm to write about every student in the class I can spend hours here!! But through this I've realised how much I love to work with children, how much I want to help those in need. I hope that my career in future will involve working with children, shall work towards my goal!!! :)

It's late already, time for bed! Gdnite all!! Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to SINGAPORE!!!!! :D


It came over me in a rush
When I realized that
I love you so much
That sometimes I cry,
but I cant tell you why
why I feel what I feel inside

How I try to express
what's been troublin' my mind
But still I can't find the words
But I know that something's got a hold of me

Baby, some day
I'll find a way to say
just what you mean to me
But if that day never comes along
and you don't hear this song
I guess you'll never know that...

And when I say inside,
I mean deep
You fill my soul
with something I can't explain
It's over me

3 days to go............................................

Three more days and I'm going to stop my voluntary work at the student care. Sighs! :( I'm sure going to miss the kids there!! They are suuuuper cute and innocent, like little angels :) I feel so happy with them, I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be with them. They seemed to have brought back some of the childlike innocence in me; why think so much?

Oh man I hate partings...

back for a short post!

I think it's time for me to clear some of the cobwebs here! *blows* Haha! Have been back from Poland/Czech/Austria for like 3 weeks already!! Keep wanting to blog about the trip, but since I started volunteering have been feeling lazy. hehe :P Since it's 1253am now, I shall write about the trip another time. But I must say, it was a wonderful trip, an awesome experience!! :) Got to compete overseas, WIN A GRAND PRIX overseas, perform overseas, travel, and of course getting to know a great bunch of people!! This trip really changed my perceptions of some people, mostly in the good sense la!!!! :D:D:D If not for this trip, I wouldnt have had so many experiences and fun, wouldnt have yet opened my eyes to Europe, YEAH! :)

Having some module headaches now, still in the bidding process. More or less I've confirmed the mods that I am taking, and I hope that I will do WELL this sem!!!! jiayou!

I've been watching alot, really ALOT of SS501 vids on youtube! HAHA. I really can't wait for them to come to Singapore!So I can become a crazy fangirl!! hohoho. I LOVE their stage presence, and their dancing is totally WOW! :) And I keep telling whoever that is willing to listen that they are REALLY cute on shows, and interviews. Every vid of them makes me laugh at all their funny antics and comments. They look so natural on camera, it feels as if they are really as how they are seen on tv. I guess that's not always possible, but considering the tons and tons of shows that they are on, they are really quite consistently goofy and dorky. LOL. So THAT should at least be what they really are?? Haha! Okokokokokok! I noe I'm starting to sound long-winded :P Aiya but must watch to understand u know! hahaha.

A photo of SS501 that I personally like quite alot. It was taken quite long ago though, I think. They look more charasmatic now!!! HAHAHA!

NIGHTS to all reading this!! Sweet dreams~~~~~~~~ :)
