DIY

The bird movement. Fly!
The stress from projects (especially FABM) made my hair go wonky :(

HUH! you mean you didn't know canteen 1 was so dirty?!

Food & Beverage Management (FABM) project group 1 :D

Crystal & Lum, LMS group mates. Joanne & Sean didn't come for class.

Yihui & I webcam-ed just now :D

Hur hur, I attempted to make cake balls from leftover chocolate cake yesterday. Unfortunately, they look quite sad and ugly. And the white chocolate ones are very sweet, so much so that when my sis bit into one she couldn't talk and exclaimed that her teeth hurt. Haha! The milk chocolate ones is goood though and there's this unique appeal/taste to it which makes me want to eat more! Yum :D

Botanical Gardents with my family tomorrow morning. FLOWERS..

okay this isn't funny

Got chased by a wild dog whilst walking home. Attempted to flee towards the petrol kiosk area a few steps away and fell into the grass in front of the car wash workers. To top it off, my shoe disappeared in the knee high grass (which is actually a drain overgrown with grass that I fell in apparently) and I had to get them to help me hunt for it.

Luckily, I managed to recover it.. if not, it would have been quite a sight to see a person wearing a single shoe walking on across the grass patch & attempting to escape from wild animals(?!!).

My grandma asked me to swing my laptop towards them should those stray dogs approach me again (without realising that the laptop was something heavy, haha). And she gave me a sling bag to keep my laptop cause she thinks that it's too heavy to carry by hand. So sweet of her! :D

i miss commonwealth

I miss secondary school & sec school life. Having so many people you know pass by you everyday, the familiarity every time you step into the school. Feeling as though you're 'the boss' (lum always says this) of the place, simply feeling comfortable in there. Heck, even belonging to a classroom is missed. And finally, I miss the athletes & the closeness of everyone. Not exactly the running aspect of the CCA, but it was the company who made it all enjoyable anyway. (;

Listening to The Ting Tings!

I'm feeling cheerful today :)

One good thing about us humans is that we can derive happiness from others, even if it doesn't involve ourselves in that situation. That's the case for me, though I'm not sure if it applies to others. Such as if our friends are happy, you don't have to be beside them to feel glad for them. And it might not be your birthday, but you feel happy anyway, cause it's the day of someone close to you.

I'm relieved and happy that today went by smoothly.


edit }
You should have just let us be happy with what we do know, and not remind us of what we don't know. More doubts are planted into my mind, but at what cost & what for?

It's so hard to find statistics on theme hotels!!! 0.0

I really can't find any and it's starting to get on my nerves since we need these information for our project!

Hrmph, go away, distractions.

Call me selfish, call me self-centered. But sometimes it's really hard to share. It sure is something I have to improve on.

a beautiful heart's more important than a beautiful face

Spent the evening at home altering a pair of jeans by hand. Fingers hurt like they've been playing the guitar for hours :( Feels pretty good though, doing some DIY stuff!

Currently finishing up the presentation portion on ITB project part 1. At least that's one down! And glad that it'll be over soon cause it's the most un-understandable project to date in poly I guess. A whole group of girls doing IT? Haha! Don't look down on us (:

Some things remain unchanged.

projects

Poly life isn't complete without projects! 0.0

Thank goodness I get to sleep now. 加油了, Gladys and Jiahui! There's still so much more to do when I wake up later on in the morning.

Hello, 5 hour sleep :D

Family meeting/discussion earlier on in the night just now. I feel like I've learnt more of the situation and understand my reactions to this situation better. Hope that the 4 of us will stay together, in mind and heart.

foooood + money $_$

Food Safari + Dental appointment later on (: As it is right now, I'm feeling really hungry!

Cleared pretty much all of my tutorials at hand after school in the library today, and I'm left with just various things to research on for projects in preparation for the upcoming week, which should be manageable :D

Currently itching to sew myself a bag/tote by hand. What fabric should I use? Am considering buying some fabric for future DIY projects. Should be quite fun, making my own stuff. And less expensive than buying an actual bag right? I hope so. (;


YAHHH and there are quite a few things that I need to get for myself. A pencil case complete with stationary (can't live merely with the 2 black pens I bring to school everyday), new flats (the 2 pairs I own have soles so worn out, they're slippery already), new slippers (same point as the shoes), black cardigan (can't possibly wear a white one everyday! it still needs to be washed!), a job. These are the realistic goals I have right now.

Don't even talk about stuff like earphones, backpack, mp4, new handphone (since my current v3i's batteries are cmi).. they're considered luxuries now- the luxuries I had before but took for granted. Haha. Will have to wait till I earn more money during the end-of-sem break/vacation before even thinking about owning them.

Let's practice more self-restraint then.

Sweet Desserts

I want a Cadbury Creme Egg! Can they be found in Singapore? :)

The most famous Cadbury product is the CADBURY CRÈME EGG available only during the Easter season, from New Year's Day to Easter Day in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

With a chocolate shell, fondant creme (Goo) and yellow creme yolk, the Cadbury Creme Egg looks like a real egg inside and is unique in taste and experience.

So, how do people eat their Creme Egg?
53% of people bite off the top, lick out the 'creme' then eat the chocolate
20% just bite straight through
16% use their finger to scoop out the 'creme'

I guess not! Sounds really yummy though. Mmmmmmm..

There are constant reminders in life everywhere..

Happy 1 weeksary to me surviving school without a student ID/pencil case/file/dinotheMP4.

2 things happened today which reminded me about how lucky I am. First was that I crossed the road near my home mistakenly thinking that the traffic light has already turned green (apparently it's green for the the vehicles coming my way) and an incoming lorry rushing down honked at me like "honnkkkkkkk". Luckily I did not freeze there with my feet rooted to the ground. You can just imagine the scenario if I did. Lucky, lucky for me.

Second incident is also due to my own carelessness. Left my laptop at the school library's self-check out book station and went to the main counter to borrow my books instead. JT, Joan and I ran down to the atrium after I realised that my laptop was missing. In the end we ran back to the library to find another librarian with my laptop at the counter where I was. Thank you! Phew.


Happy Birthday Tong! You've been a wonderful sister. Enjoy your 20th! :D

don't we all wish that we can do this?

A little down, but will bounce up soon enough

Busy times looming ahead. Just take a look at my list of ongoing projects! f-i-v-e.

Feel that I'm not goal orientated enough, not focused entirely on my work. As though one foot is in the water and the other foot is out, feeling all dry and different- like it's not meant to be there. Bad analogy but if you get it then good, we're on the same wavelength :)

It's as though there's this list of stuff which has to be done but the number of items on this list keeps growing longer and longer..

Still have this slight feeling of emptiness, due to that incident. Where's my pencil case? Where's my yellow file with my lecture notes & tutorial work? They should be with me now, they should have been then. When things that you normally take for granted are suddenly taken away, you'll learn to treasure them. Of course you will.

i h8 e-lectures!!

tell me that it's all a bad dream & wake me up, pls

I just had the worst day, ever. Don't think that anyone else's can top mine. Careless mistakes, really.

It's my fault for having such a idiot-proof pin and my fault for leaving my belongings unattended. Fine. But where are your morals? If I recognise you people, imma gonna fight you. fight fight fight. $_$

Having a headache now due to today's jeopardy of events. Plus my tutorials + lecture notes are gone too, omg. Totally not in the mood to redo them and i don't think that I will. Sorry Voer Uit );


Anyway, a shout out to Seetoh & Oli. Thanks for the accompaniment today. Don't know what I would have done if I was alone, seriously. A sincere word of thanks to you two! And thank you Oli for waiting with me till me dad came to fetch me. I appreciate it (; Daohui, hope you're feeling fine. We'll get through this together.

it's not about being self-centered

sometimes, you just feel like the weight of the world's on your shoulders when in fact, nothing's there.

I need to take a break from people to have some time for myself. With so many activities going on lately, there's hardly any time to sit down and think. Tomorrow will be a day consisting of wenbin, books & the library. Need to learn to love myself before turning to others and enjoying their company as well.

Thank goodness the video's done already. It's time to get my life back into order once again (; Organization, clearing out of stuff and studies.
