I think the fact that I have been provisionally accepted for SMS may come as a shock to some of u, as it has been for me. I cant believe man i've simply breeze thru the selection, maybe except for my medical, cos' my hearing test screwed up and my eyes are inherently bad... but i'm still stuck at the crossroad, dunno if I shud sign on. sigh... but I really hope to go overseas for my studies, afterall i've already invested so much time, effort and money in my applications... hai some pple tell me not to hesitate while some ask me not to join... I really dunno what to think man

but maybe the gd thing is that my rgs track fren sihan is enlisted with me as well! :) looking forward to her company in bmt... and I heard the pay is really good, $1300 monthly, with pay rise pending... but sometimes I really wonder if the monetary compensating differential is really worth the while... I guess I'll jus go for bmt and have fun first haahaaa... scully my results cant even make it man

Back to something more salient, I'm really saddened by the Earthquakes and tsunamis disasters... Singapore is jus so lucky.... Hope that the death tolls will stop rising... oh my family almost went to thailand this year... phew :P let us pray for the disaster victims... I wish I could do more. like raise funds for them but time is running out

till 10 jan, I've 2 weeks of freedom left... gonna make full use of my time to spend with my family and frens... gosh then 3 weeks cannot come out... I still cant believe I gonna experience the life of an ns guy... haa and I'll experience it before my guy... and my greatest wish is that I wun become too manly after the experience man, I'm man enough liao hahaa hope to preserve my feminine side as much as possible hahah... maybe the saddest thing is that I can't continue to teach my tutee Weihao... goonna miss him so much... I'm so grateful that Cheuk Ka agrees to help me out :)

There're so many what ifs in my mind now... What if a war really broke out? Am I prepared to lay my life for the country? What if they make me do things against my conscience? will I rise above the evils or would I succumb? But if a war breaks out, I want to protect my country, my family and my home... Jus dun wanna die la hahah but if they force me to betray my frens or something, I will never budge... I hate this point of my life now

And come 2 jan, I hope to organise a last class outing at my house... to see the guys and myself off haha... gonna clean up my house and give it a face lift! so exciting haha... hey if u r my classmate reading this, try to volunteer to help with the food k? hehe call me!

BaCk FrOm MsIa!!!

Yo yoz, I'm just back from msia after two days of family vacation... hahah looks like this is the shortest trip ever! As usual, I engaged in my fav activity-- Shopping! but i'm really sick of shopping and spending now... after all the prom shopping... but i need to do shopping for xmas again! sucks... at least i wrote all the xmas cards already :)

i think the nicest part about staying at johore bahru is that my family stayed at Pan Pacific! it's really nice there, got a semi swimming pool, sauna and other fitness activities (though i tried neither of those)... the bubble lifts are really fascinating too, never fail to give me a bird eye view of the surroundings... and the hotel overlooked this vestigial castle, looking as majestic as it was in its old days. it's brown in colour and look real sturdy...my dad said it belongs to the sultan...

basically, i only did my shopping at city square cos it requires hours to finish visiting all five stories of shopping outlets... well, act the mall is like any other in singapore, just that the currency used is ringgit and that some items are cheaper... had to do lotsa mental calculations to make sure that it's worth making the purchases... i think one interesting thing abt the shoppers there is that they get very excited when they see sale items... like they'll snatch up the apparels and browse very quickly thru the items... well altogether, i bought a Mango top, nike spag top, a set of triump lingerie, earrings for zj, facial wash, face cream, contacts protein tablet, eye drops, stockings... my sister bought a nike bag for her sch too... the rest of the money is simply spent on food... kinda ex there.. but at least we tried the roadside stalls which sell tasty food and charges at really low rates... a dinner for 4 only cost S$10! haha... but a meal for 4 at vivo and peir restaurant are more ex, costing more than RM 30...

after all these shopping, i felt kinda physcially and emotionally enervated... was asking myself if this is wat i wanna do for the rest of my life... just earn money and spend it on shopping... for the sake of temporary gratification... i really wish i could do something different, something more meaningful... as i was heading towards the customs, i donated all my msia coins to a beggar... really wished that i can help more pple like them... maybe for a start, i shall donate all my unused stuff to charity this xmas!!! let's spread the love around... :)

ThE RaT rAcE...

hey! prom was quite fun... took like nearly 100 photos... imagine my eyes had to be wide open even as the daggers of blinding flash pierced thru them! but there's no other ways to immortalize these 2 yrs of memories that I had shared with so many other frens in hcjc... after that, i went mich's house to havoc with yanfang, yaying and jane... was like eating cup noodles at 5am! slept like a log after tat... mich's frenly maid, sarah, cooked those delicious laksa for us for lunch! very hot though... and her brother and his galfren were very entertaining, kept running around together...haha well i guess it had been a really nice way to end prom :) glad i din go clubbing... can't believe these 2 yrs have passed by just like tat... haiz... getting old :p

anyway, at this crossroad in life, it is high time to reflect on what i shall do with my life ahead. most pple i know are aiming for scholarships and overseas studies, u know, trying to get to the front of the rat race... but yesterday i read the saturday section of the newspapers, and i found it to be so thought provoking and inspiring... in this dog-eat-dog world, there're pple who gave up those 'dream' jobs which they earned like at least $150000 a yr, in exchange for social services, arts and other more relaxing job. i was quite amazed, that money is not the priority in this world. there's something more impt in their heart-- passion... i felt sincerely touched... but then again, maybe this is a one way street kinda thing, i gotta go thru the rat race, before i get tired and opt out... no matter what, i know even as i warm up and prepare myself for the commencement of the rat race, even as i know this is the right way to go, even as i know this is expected of me, i'd rather go and help pple around me and have more time with my family. but man, this is not possible... maybe after i get tired of the rat race... practicality has to come before passion for now

PrOm TiMe!!!!

I'm so excited abt prom!!! been having sleepless nights *just kidding* anyway, i'm so happy that i finally found a nice pink draped neckline spag strap to match my white skirt, both from yen... yea reserved for hair styling at kimage already and gonna have make up at ros and pro (recommended by julia) yup for my feet i've my sec4 silver heels haha it's time for it to see the sunlight again after stoning for 2 yrs in my wardrobe... well, after like a week of shopping, i can finally take a breather and relax...

anyway, besides prom stuff, i bought a new black wallet from dorothy perkins for only $13, two pairs of shoes from noda at $24, teeth whitener @ $9, one bag from m)phosis @ $10 and one beach bag from Roxy @ $9.90, manicure pen @ $16... oh no i spent so much!!! i hope that's all i buy haha... really afraid to think of anymore...

yea and i finally got to see my darling after 10 days of separation... cliched but true, absence really does make the heart grow fonder... though we jus chatted the whole time, it was enjoyable... :)

oh! i'm so glad people actually look at the poster i put up for tuition near my house! a mother of a pri 5 student called me and after some interaction, she agreed to be my potential client... but i realise it's so hard to please them... they want quality tuition yet they are unwilling to pay... :( money is so hard to earn... well, i hope this is a good start and calls will start rolling in... let's stay optimistic!

i think this is probably my last entry before prom ... shall upload some of my prom photos after wed!

Hey Hey!!!

See i kept my promise... blogging again in a span of a few days! cant guarentee that i'll blog again in the next few days cos prom is coming and i have gotten my top yet! so i visited almost the whole of orchard, jurong east, lot one and city hall. think i'll hit the shops of heartland jurong point tonight... if it turns out to be a wildgoose chase again i'll buy the tube top from guess as my wonderful fren julia recommended. but it costs like $90, i might as well get an entire gown. the whole problem is i wanna look different from those wearing gowns from daniel yam and yen and the likes. choosy me :p

oh maybe i'm at least making some leeway in the make up preparation. i read thru some of the books i borrowed on make up and hair so it sorta bolstered my confidence in dolling up myself on wed. .. keep my fingers crossed... yup and i was conned into buying the glittery eyeshadow shimmer cubes from body shop yesterday. the price tag said $18.90 but actually, that was only valid for a sale a few days ago. had to pay like 23 in the end and it was after 15% discount. my pocket is going on a crash diet :(

anyway, my dad vacillated between going to thailand or china for vacation but his latest decision is to put the plans on hold till next yr june. i'll get to receive some monetary compensation instead hahah this sounds kinda funny but at least that means i'll be able to buy some nice stuff of which i've deprived myself for a long time. I need a stable job! i need $$$! speaking of money, i need to visit my tuition 'client' later to look at his syllabus for next yr and do up a plan to suit his needs... i just hope he dun get too active and jump around me... i'm getting old

yes! at least tmr i have something to look forward to. my dad gonna chaffeur me around and pay for my gown. that is if i finally settle on something.. shall keep u informed... tata!

My NeW bLoG aT LaSt!!!

wahhaaa.. I finally have a new blog... new beginnings new resolutions... so expect me to update my blog more frequently now haha... and i really need to thank my lovely sister for coming up with such a wonderful blog for me... :) oh yes! Taufik jus won!!! I knew he would be the next singapore idol cos he got the looks and the voice! so proud of him... :)

yea and lotsa other happy things happened to me today too... I got a tuition job at last and i jus bought two pairs of shoes with my sister at a really cheap price! haha grinz and i think my darling at msia is getting me adidas super stars.. maybe the only unfortunate thing in my life now is that i haven gotten a gown for prom :( i need t0 work harder at shopping man anyway, i went to jurong east library today and borrowed 3 books on make up and hair styling... hope that with those aids i wun make a mess of myself on that red letter day *prays* oh i wonder if my gor had fun with his date at his prom today haha

oh right i guess my first entry should be short and sweet so pple will be begging for more rite? Tata! *winkz*
