~missing those times

staying over

Hey guys! I am officially in my cousin's house. :) I am going to be staying over for er... 4 days 3 nights! (I will be staying until Tuesday) :) Heehee. :D I am now using laptops with Iris. Separately though. Ivy lent me her laptop to use. Thanks! :P Btw, wish her luck in her tests! Haha.

Iris currently got a Mio thingy which allows her to use broadband and watch diff channels. Just now, when Irene used her laptop, I think that it was too much on the Mio broadband thingy. So it kinda collapsed. Haha. Meaning that we could not use the internet. So we were like trying out diff stuff. Hahs. Then Irene 'backed out' voluntarily. LOL.

Anw, Iris and I were playing Poker Rivals just now. I kept losing money. K, it was like I was winning. Then, I lost. LOLS. Now, I know why gambling leads to NOTHING. Haha. So, yeah. I let my workers in RC rest now. I cant read comics and I dun think that I want to anyways.

Irene cooked the lunch just now. We had some 'special Taiwan fishballs(or sotongballs?!), veggies and tom yum fish fillet. The tom yum one is best. XD Yummy~! I wonder what are we gonna eat tonight. I hope that we can cook! And Ivy is now reading while I am typing. -.-

As for my Chinese book, I successfully read 45+ pages yesterday. Dunno how I suddenly read so much. Hahs. I read another 20 this morning. And I found out that they printed like 12 pages wrongly so it was like a repetition. Haiz. Now I left 20 pages. So I will finish by tomorrow!!! Yahoo~! ;D Btw, anyone know the title of "Together" 's theme song??? XP

(updated) Decided to write this cuz it seems funny. Irene says a guys is not handsome in a show. Ivy says dun judge a book by its cover???? Elvin not handsome but Irene still like. Haha. XD


~hoping that time crawls by

miss

I just realised something! A tragedy!!! Argh~!!!! K, I am getting all worked up over a little tiny thing. K, it is NOT a little tiny thing!!!!!!!! I am going to miss... SIX episodes of Cruel Temptation and Together!!!! HELP! K, why? Cuz there is softball camp, then I will be going to Taiwan... That equals to 1day+5days=6days!!! :( Boohoo!!!! TOGETHER!!! I shall miss Ouxuan. :'(

Anyway, ate curry puff this morning. I think that I am gonna blog every Monday to Friday for this week and next week. LOL. But then, there is NOTHING interesting to blog about. Haiz. Yesterday, I have been reading manga comics with irregular updates. I find the irregularly updated mangas nice and better than the usual. Dunno why...

I am currently playing RC now. Nicole and Krystal are beyond my grasp. Haha. Exaggerating. Now, RC upgraded and they have levels higher than 32!!! So its like they have level 45, etc. And I see all the high high ppl their levels are SO high. Argh. I wanna catch up with Weirong too! hmph!!! XD

Anyway, there is this interesting comic, Pig Bride. You can find it on mangafox.com. But it stopped just when it was getting to the nice part. Gah!!! I can't find the updated chapters anywhere sia. :(

I still have...erm... about 100 more pages to go for chinese! JIAYOUS to me!!!! XP

~struggling

tag

My mum said something about a tag on my blog last night and I went to check it out.

"1 Dec 09, 21:09

maranda: oi your blog post is in the newpaper"
That was what it said.
LOL.
I not even sure if it is true. Well, I checked The Straits Times. So I think that it might be just some one faking. But it is kinda cool if such a thing happens, eh?
[updated]
Turns out Maranda was not joking. There was a follow-up of the Australian parents thingy and Singaporean parents being too strict. Maranda said that they quoted from my blog. I am trying to find out the full story. But I cannot. This is a link to what I believe is the report. Click here.

Last night, I was watching a documentary showing on okto, "Extreme Bodies". The episode was talking about dwarfs. It talked about the health conditions that they have, etc. I feel that they are INDEED looked down upon by normal, healthy human beings. However, the individuals shown on the documentary have shown awesome will-power and perseverance. They work hard to show us that they can do it too. There was this one man and his wife who are both dwarfs. The husband is sportsman that was trying to win a Paralympic medal. His wife has won a silver medal for Paralympics once. She swam the 50m breaststroke. :D Pro, huh? It is amazing what they can do, seriously. :) And, whats more amazing is that their son is NOT a dwarf. Even though this is more or less hereditary, he still did not get the disease. :)

There was this girl who had a curve in her spine because she was a dwarf. It is less common in normal human beings, but 40 to 50% of dwarfs get this disease. So, yeah. She had to get an operation which straightens her spine by moving the bone, one by one. Cuz they are interlocked. And then, he will insert this long piece of metal which will enable the spine to remain straight. I was thinking, since the spine is CURVING, then when they straighten it, wont it be like too long for the girl's back??? LOLs.

Then, there was this other guy who was the normal size of a human. BUT he was a dwarf once. His mother made him go through a special treatment while he was of the age 12 to 16. He had LENGTHENED his bones by fracturing and breaking them continuously! Cuz the bone had a natural healing system when the bones break, they purposely broke it and left a gap so the bone will be lengthened. However, the treatment was excruciating. The guy still has scars on his legs till now. However, this treatment is still highly controversial. I myself think that such a treatment was kinda not worth it in a short term. Even though u are tall already, the scars on your legs may still put people off. As a dwarf, I think that they should look at things from a better perspective and ADAPT to their environment.

Yep. So eh last night. My mother, brother and I were like chatting where to eat today for dinner when the topic shifted to London, then to us not speaking good english. Haha. Remember a post where I wrote about a similar thing? About how we tend to shift from one thing to another when we talk. Haha. XD Anw, my grandma's back. :)


~living my life

11.11

I took a glimpse at the time now, and guess what? It showed 11.11am. These days, the clock and me have a really weird iffinity??! There were a few times when I see times like 12.12, 3.33, 4.44 and stuff... They say that if you see such and such timings, something is happening and etc. LOL.

Anyway, "Together" made its debut series yesterday. The series yesterday gave a very good overall view of whos who and who likes who. Xiaobei obviously likes Jianhong. Tarzan too. So, obviously there would be a love triangle etc. XD I hope that the second episode will have something more exciting. You guys may catch the 17min(?) preview of "Together" which was broadcasted on Channel 8 at 6.15 pm I think. :) Just click here.

Meanwhile, Cruel Temptation/ Temptation of Wife is starting to get interesting. Encai finally found out about the husband's affair with Aili. ;D Yahoo~! Finally sumthing is starting to get interesting. Anw, Encai is kinda stupid and naive too. LOLs.

And I just got news that my grandma is most probably not coming. So I will have to spend the afternoon ALONE. :( And I am gonna have leftover fried rice from yesterday for lunch. Boohoo! Haiz. I cant seem to get into mangafox.com lehs! So irritating. Argh! And hors, the Channel 8 thingy when I wanna see the "Together" character bios, I can only see Jeanette's. -.- Hope they fix it. Oh yah! There is an OFFICIAL website for Jeanette Aw now! :) Click here.

As for my Chinese story book, I still have... 150 pages to go! Wah sey lahs! Should not have chosen this book. The book is like excepts of the author's life. Some of it is interesting so I can read damn fast but some are quite boring so I like drag through it. I am now making it a point to read at least 20 pages each day. Haiz. But I not sure if I can finish before I go Taiwan.

Ah~~~!!!!! Cant wait for Taiwan!!!! XP


~can't wait

...

Nuthing to do today... So staying at home.

Was supposed to go to the library today to renew my book's due date. I am taking awfully long to finish my chi book! >.< But then, while chatting with Nicole G., she told me that the due week was 3 weeks not 2 weeks. LOL.

So in the end I ate some noodles which I cooked. With ketchup sauce!!!! yummy~ ;D And some chicken which I toasted. :) Not bad for a 15 or 10 mins to cook meal! XD

Haiz, am gonna continue to read the chi book later on. Sian...

2009 psle

Hey guys! Yesterday, I went to my grandma's house and visited her. Lots of good food! Yummy!!! XD Anyway, I went to buy a magazine, "Hot" at Compass Point. Did not know there was this magazine there in the first place. So, there are all sorts of hot news and stuff about celebrities, mainly Hollywood. XP Less of the hongkong stars etc. Hongkong stars are mostly for I-zhou-kan. :)

So, this years top PSLE is 290 marks out of 300. Sian, it was 3 marks higher than my year. Haha. Anw, Jingwen's sister did not manage to beat her I think. LOL. Everyone keeps comparing marks here and there. It is also kinda pressurizing lehs. And, TG(from taiwan) who lives at Iris' block got 230. Not bad lehs. Actually, these kids from overseas only need to grasp English, then they can score already. Cuz I heard from Yidan (From softball, China) that she came to Singapore just to learn English only. In fact, China the Science and Maths system is much more tougher! WOW!

So, yeah. And yesterday's newspaper report wrote an article about the Australian show that says that Singapore's parents are one of the strictest parents in the WORLD. Click here - World's Strictest Parents, Aug 19 to view the video. I cant see the video for some reason so yeah. Anw, the children say that this is like one of the strictest routine they have ever had. I was reading the 'rules' and realised that they are actually NORMAL. For Singapore, that is. Those are the reaaalllllyyyyy normal rules! Here are they:

• No smoking
• No alcohol
• No sleepovers
• No boyfriends or girlfriends
• No swearing
• Must spend every Sunday as a family
• Studies come first
• No skipping school
• Internet must be used in loungeroom so parents can see what sites they’re logging onto.

They are like real simple and straight-forward. They are the kind of rules I expect. K, maybe some are overly-harsh. Like, the internet being in the loungeroom. And the boyfriends and girlfriends, and the sleepover part. But, things like skipping school, smoking, alcohol and stuff, these are kinda expected right??? LOL. So yeah. Singapore is NOT that strict. But then, we ARE kind of conservative. After all, we are made of Chinese, Malays, Indians. These are the races which have their own tradition and bringing up their kids properly is one of them. Definitely. While the Americans might be... a tad too adventurous. They leave their kids uncontrolled. While too much control is not good, too little control is also not good.

Also, I was watching Rush Hour 3 on TV when I started outlining a model in the newspaper. I decided to scan it since it looks quite nice XD

P.S. Anyone wanna watch 'New Moon' with me???

blocked

Finally!!!! It's FINALLY blocked week!!!!!!!!!!!! XD Yahoo~! K, right, actually, it is not exactly blocked week now. But then, after this week, it would be! So, I am just celebrating early. XP Sianz. Today's training started out quite fine. Until the end.

We started with some throwing first. I threw with Jingwen. Here, I am gonna say 'Sorry!!!' to everyone who had to run about just to catch the balls that I threw. Really sorry!!!! >.<''' K, so after that, we did some fielding. I cannot throw one base, so the coach PURPOSELY asked me to stand at first base to throw home. -.- Then, he switched me to be the catcher. LOL. Seriously, there is no problem with my batting, catching, fielding. EXCEPT for my throwing. Gah!!!!!!

Then, we sat and rested while the coach gave some talk to Vernetta and Jalyn. I think that it was cuz they asked whether it was time to go back home already or something. But then the coach was quite angry today cuz of our reflections/observations. He gave us a 40 min long talk in the morning when the C Div training started. WOW!

Then, we did some swift stick batting. (I actually thought it was called 'sweet stick' XD) The waffer (correct spelling?) balls were flying everywhere. kk, abit exagerrated. LOL. Anw, then, we had to pack the stuff after warm-up. It was kinda tiring cuz we only had 7 ppl. Vernetta and Jalyn went already. Haiz. We did not have the key so we left the stuff outside the storeroom.

By the time we were done packing, we were DAMN tired sia. Jingwen kept cursing cuz the equipment was damn heavy. We changed and stuff. I collected my books and was prepared to go when the coach suddenly call us back, saying that the storeroom was opened and that we can go put the equipment back inside. Wah sey. Damn angry liaos. We went back AGAIN, kept the stuff. Jingwen was there cursing all the way. Haha. Then, the coach say, "How can you all leave the equipment outside there?" He said that Mr Wee and him had went to take the key so how can we like leave the stuff there. I was there thinking, "We did not even KNOW that they were taking the key. And, if the key cannot find, what you want us do? Stand outside the whole day and guard is it?!" Damn angry. Jing wen was like gonna break down liaos. Haiz. :(

After that, I went to compass point with Amanda and ate KFC with her. I was having a hard time eating the chicken. -.- And it was quite hot and spicy. >.< Then, we went to take the bus and bus 86 came already bt Amanda didn't allow me to go. x( LOL. Then, we took bus 80 together in the end. I got down before her of course.


~Damn tired
