Hi all!~ Let's just say the news I heard yesterday made me break down again. *sigh* I hate all this crying. But that's life. Yesterday when I was in the hospital, I saw a family whose father was given that night and this day to live only. Their family was grief-stricken. My heart went out to them and I felt so so sad as well. What a horrible feeling, knowing the family member you love so much lying on the bed, going to leave you any minute. We can never take the ones we love for granted. That made me think of the mysteries of the world. What happens after death, what happens in the Bermuda Triangle, what's in the Black Hole and etc. So many people have different theories about what happens after death. Christians believe that they go back to live with God, Buddhists believe in reincarnation, other religions believe in other things. Who knows in the Bermuda Triangle, people living there are in pure bliss, rid of all heartaches and troubles, but yet again, it could be a land of slavery and a place where sufferings never end. I am so curiuos about those things. I sometimes just sit and wonder about these things, especially about the great big Universe. That's why I'm so interested in joining TJC's astronomy club, I want to learn more about the Universe. Oh yeah, I bought a webcam and mike!!! Whoopee!!! ^^ I also created a xanga site, but the content is going to be the same as this blog. Click Here. Today I had TJC orientation camp. Well, all the Temasekians are in the same class, along with some from TKGS and VS. Hm... There's only 23 people in the class, 15 girls and 8 guys -.- Now girls are overpowering instead of guys. Haha. I made some new friends, Sophia, Dimira, Teresa, Grace... They were all friendly. There were a group of girls who are very outgoing. Not the type I'll mix with I can fortell. Thank God Prerna is in the same class as me. Phew. The most enjoyable part of camp was when we played in the rain! It was awesome. By 7pm, I kept yawning and yawning in the lecture theatre. By the time I came home, it was 8.30pm. TJC wants us to get a laptop, preferably a tablet, so my mum is going to get my one, most of my friends are getting theirs as well. I don't think I have much else to say for now, so... Goodnight!!!~

`+._ BaCk HoMe!! _.+`



Hi! I'm back home in Singapore now. First part of this entry shall be on what I did, second part will be more on feelings.

Well, let me recall... I seriously can't remember what we did on Wednesday, oh no, my memory's going.. I think we went shopping... Oh yeah, now I remember.. We went to the factory outlets! Hehes.. I bought two awesome jackets, 2 exercise tops, a nice floral 3/4 sleeve t-shirt and a white skirt. All originals, but cheaper! ^^ Haha, then we went back for dinner I think. On Thursday, I followed Louiseanne to go for study session on Maths, ha, rekindled the stimultaneous equations thingy *grimace*. On Friday, we went out with her friends, Natalie, Grace, Jeremy, Max and Eugene. They were all really nice ^^. We watched Kung Fu Hustle. God that movie is gory. I covered my eyes most of the time anyways. But it was overall quite funny in the end, but I couldn't stand the fighting and the blood *shudders* We took neoprints and then we had to leave for... Christmas eve dinner at Louiseanne's home. I didn't really know many people there and for some reason at the beginning of the party, I kind of felt weird. Real weird. Not in the festive mood at all. Feeling sad about something I couldn't place my finer on. Funnily, Louiseanne felt the same way, I felt better after awhile though. When the clock striked midnight, not many people from Singapore were online so not many people to wish *sigh* It was kind of boring, and Louiseanne helped me set up a Xanga site. I still don't know how to use it, so I shall continue using blogger till I've grasp the concept of Xanga =P On Christmas Day, Lu*(short for Louiseanne) had community service =(, so we had lunch without her. Lunch was with old family friends whom I haven't seen in 9 years. Their children, Daphne and Kai are so grown up now, well I guess so are we. My dad said Kai and I used to fight alot when we stayed with them for holiday, but I seriously can't remember. Christmas night, it was PARTY! for Lu* and I. We went to a street where there were pubs, discos, bars etc. My dad brought us. We dressed up all in black (except overcoat and shoes) and in our best since it was my last night there. I wore her high heels and my feet were killing me. Seriously. We had some alcohol, 4.7% bottle. I only drank half though, Lu* drank all and wanted more =P

That about sums up what we did when I was in Hong Kong, but that doesn't say a single thing about how I was feeling ya?

Well, I'll let you in on some feelings then, some people say my blog is like a content of what I did, so I'll add more thoughts. You can say that the reason I went to Hong Kong was to see Louiseanne this trip. It felt so good to get along so well with her once again, but sadly, it wasn't the same with Jonathan, like I mentioned in the previous entry, he seems kind of distant. Oh well... We used to play together, all 3 of us. Those were the days. In a way, I envy Louiseanne, she has a few close guy friends whom she can count on whom are so nice and caring at the same time. Don't get me wrong, my gal friends etc Maxine, Prerna, Zhuyin, Aud, Lijun, Lin, Mar, Zoe, Cad, Yuan, kirbs, lumps, Via, Jo and Abby are awesome, but sometimes, it isn't the same as having a guy friend you know. I've always wanted a close guy friend who would care for me like a older brother would and give me advice sometimes. I envy the friendship Lu* has. Oh well, I am in a way satisfied with what I have now, my friends all rock! Bah, this is sad, I shouldn't be feeling this way. Hm, this bonding time I've had with Lu* made me realise that what's important in a friendship is honesty and sincerity. Being fake has completely no use in a friendship, you will be exposed of true colours sooner of later. Well, all in all, I must say this trip was worth it. I made some really nice new friends, had some fun in the cold weather, went shopping, and most importantly, strengthened my friendship with Lu*!!! Love ya and miss ya Lu*. I'll post some pictures from the trip when I have time. That's all for now, and that's quite alot! Goodnight!~ Good morning more like it =P

Hi everyone!!! First things first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY EN !!! ^^ I'm in Hong Kong now! Yesterday I travelled here by myself. My mum was supposed to come too, but end up she didn't, for a reason I'd rather not disclose. Anyway, I was rather upset about not spending christmas with her, but my dad was going to Hong Kong too, just that he was going to meet me there. Let's say that I've been crying more than I ever had this month. About something yet again, I'd rather not disclose. *sigh* Well, travelling by myself was a new adventure and experience for me, kinda got the feeling of excitement and apprehension. It was alright anyway. My dad picked me up from the airport then it was off to shopping with my friend Louiseanne and her friends! It was kinda fun, but tiring. Shopping is tiring anyway. =P Bought loads of Christmas presents and make up. (I'm broke now =X) Got to get more money from my dad. ^^ I've been getting this accent since I've come here, under Louiseanne's influence =P HAha.. The kind of international school accent. It's kinda cool! Haha, naturally comes. Hopefully it doesn't stick when I go back to Singapore! Or I will sound kind of weird to you guys in Singapore =P Today we went to watch After the Sunset. In Singapore I bet it's NC-16, but there aren't any ratings here apparently. Well, it was fun!!! I'm so glad that Louiseanne and I can get along like before, the years didn't seem to have happened in a way, seems like I've been talking to her everyday. It's great. But Jonathan(her brother) seems a little more distant. Oh how I remember the times we had when we were young!!! It was hilarious!!! Anyway, I want to watch Tarzan now, so.... GoOdNiGhT!!!~

Hi everyone! Well.. On Sunday, I went for my grand aunty's birthday lunch, followed by slacking and shopping at Parkway. I bought my Harry Potter Original dvds!!! =D I bought The Polar Express Soundtrack as well and Bing Crosby's White Christmas songs. I love Christmas carols! The minute I came back, I glued myself infront of the television screen and watched all the special features on the extra disc ^^ All 3 of them!! Hmph, but they made the things I want to see so difficult to find! I was getting a little frustrated, especially about the 1st movie's extra features. Eventually I found it though. It was worth it ^^ Definately great! On Monday... I woke up late and packed my room. (It was in a HUGE mess. Trust me, I didn't touch and care about the cleanliness of my room from after school let out, all my things were all over the place.) I packed till about 4 before I had to set out for Anchorpoint by Taxi for the Hip Hop recital rehearseal. My teacher had come down with the chicken pox last minute unfortunately. So another teacher who has no idea at all what our steps are took over. Well, let's just say yesterday and today's practice had been kind of a draag. I guess it's also because of the company. I'm the only Chinese there who goes to a local school. The others are all from international school. Can't really clique I guess. But 2 of them were really friendly. Savana and Carissa. They are way more outgoing compared to us. Outgoing in different sense compared to the Singaporean way of outgoing. But all in all, I still love the practices. The distance is the only problem. I continued packing my room again this morning. Almost done. After practice, my mum and I went to Parkway to continue out shopping. Since we are going to Hong Kong (I can't wait!!!) soon, I needed some winter clothing. Tomorrow Max is coming over for awhile and she's also going to support my dance performance. Thanks Max ^^ Means alot to me =D Oh yeah, I added more Harry Potter pictures on my HArry Potter Blog. Please go visit my fanfictions blog too! Don't abandon that. So far only Rehana has visited it =( Just click on the link on this blog and you'll be there~ Leave a tag too if you visit please ^^ Well... Nothing more to say... Ciaos!~

Hi all!~ Today was my mother's childcare's annual concert. It was great! But very tiring. One of the N1s, Nigel, was so cute on stage! We were so worried that he might cry, but he stole the performance! He even tried to do a 'handstand'. So cute.. The whole performance was great... I was so tired when I came back but aftr a bath, I was refreshed, so I continued with my setting up of the Harry Potter Fanfictions webpage. It's quite nice to me, I'm satified with it. But all comments are welcomed, I placed a tag-board there, so feel free to voice your opinion. Cheerios for now!~

`+._ HiHiHi _.+`



Hi guys, sorry, couldn't think of a suitable title for this entry.. Well, what can I say.. Hm.. I seriously can't remember what I did on the 3rd and 4th, but I remembered that I had my Hip Hop photo shoot on the 5th as well going for my father's mother's birthday dinner. Then on the 6th... Hip Hop practice for the recital, it was cool. Tuesday... My mother had her childcare concert rehersal at Tampines East CC. John went along too ^^. Too bad he can't go for the actual day, the children and teachers were a kind of disappointed, especially the one who calls him handsome boy =P. Haha~ I stayed around at the childcare till about 2.45pm till my mother had time to go home, I was so tired, and was so glad to be able to go home. Then on wednesday, I went to the hospital to visit, then to hiphop, followed by rushing to The band performance, they were great! The last hiphop practice caused me loads of bruises. *sighs* But, it's all worth it to me. Yesterday in the evening, I went to John's church at Boon Lay. Far, but not too bad.. It was quite fun~ Then John came back to my house and used the computer while watching polar express on dvd.. These few days, I've been so frustrated with maple story, it keeps hanging at the login page! Then I have to re-start everything. Argh, so irritating. The best thing, I had time so I went surfing the net for HArry Potter stuff, and I found loads!!! And I also got Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson's fanmail address. I'm going to write! =P Everytime I watch the video interview by either of the 3 of them, Daniel, Emma and Rupert, I suddenly feel very happy. I found out that the HArry Potter DVD has never seen before footage on the original dvd, so I'm going to buy it, no one's stopping me!! ^^ I envy the three of them for getting the chance to act in such a brilliant movie, the experience they gain is absolutely priceless! And another thing I envy them for is the friendship bond they created through these years. Unbelievable! It is exactly like Hogwarts, they have known each other and grown so close since the age of 10! What I would give for a friendship that the trio shares. I also found out that you can win a trip to the set of Harry Potter and win a chance to have a chat with the stars as well. I was so excited, but, sadly, it was a competition only for UK residents. Hmph. Oh well... Now I wish more than ever that I live in London. HArry Potter ROCKS!~ I don't care what others say =P Christmas is coming soon, I can't wait. Christmas gives me a feeling of warmth, togetherness and happiness like no other occasion gives me. I love singing the Christmas carols, especially with my friends and family. I think I shall work on my Harry Potter 'Website' now, cheerios!~

Hi guys!!! I'm so sorry for not updating for the pass month, have been kinda lazy to. The pass month i can't really remember what has happened on a specific dat, so pardon me ^^. Well, the beginning of November was spent in choir practices and preparing for Bizworld on the 9th. We won third!!! Won a trip to bintan =D The Temasekians did Temasek proud. We clinched 3 prizes out of 10. 1st, 3rd and 4th! How great is that? We all erupted into the Temasek cheer when it was announced. Oh yeah, there was also our class chalet. That one was kinda boring though, i slept through the night though being woken up countless of times... The next day was better though, the others, Maxine, Zhuyin and Lijun came over and we played stress for awhile before Max and I headed over to Wild Wild Wet. We spent our time in the wave pool and lazy river. It was a lazy day =P Then on the 7th, I had a farewell party, at Eastern Lagoon 2. It was loads of fun, I didn't expect so many people to swim, but I was very glad almost everyone did =D Then we had a barbeque dinner followed by playing games. Truth or Dare, Murderer, and a few more. Those were not that much fun till we played husband and wife. That one caused us to laugh so hard and so much. It was a memorable night for me. The next event was on the 13th and 14th. The Tampines Mall Fair Event. Our group spent the week preparing and the night before, we worked till way pass midnight at my house. At the event, there was also performances, therefore I performed in choir and TAG as well. It was the last time I would perform with the choir and TAG. *sobs* Well, the hard work paid off for us and we each earned about $38.50, not too bad if you ask me. Note to: Zoe, Yuan Li, Cadence, En Chou, Kang Yu, Lee Wei John and Jun Ji, GREAT JOB DONE EVERYONE!!! The last night of the event, we sat around talking till quite late before my dad sent John and I home. Oh yes, THANKS ALOT to Yu Xiang too for helping out =P The next day, everyone came over to my house to chill and collect their 'salary'. We watched movies and chit chatted. After that day, I spent the rest of the week being a pig. All I did was wake, play maple story, sleep.If it wasn't playing maple story, then it was reading Harry Potter fanfictions. It was a great week for me =P Just lazing around. I haven't been able to do that for the year. Oh yeah, on maple story, I had chatted about things with Nelson. That was great for me, haven't talked to him in a long time, nice to talk again. Haha, he hasn't changed abit. (that's not bad) Then the next week, we(Zoe, Yuan, Cad, JJ, LW plus me) went to Plaza Sing to watch Taxi. It was hilariously funny to me. It was all in the fun of it. Though I didn't really understand the car mechanics part, I found it very entertaining. All in good fun!~ Those bad girls in the movie had really great bodies, I remember moaning about it in envy with the other gals *grins* The next thursday(was it next?? can't remember) John and I helped out at my mum's childcare, ooh the kids were soooooooooo cute!!! Especially the N1s. A certain adorable kid called Nigel took liking to John, it was so sweet! The next time we were there, Nigel kept asking where is kor kor. I found it so sweet... There was another boy called Vernon. HE IS SO CUTE! I've seen him since last year and he is still so cute! Actually, thinking about it, it has been so long since we last went there. Yet I can remember it just like yesterday. A year ago, time flies... Yesterday, Zhuyin, Lijun, Max and I went to watch The Incredibles, it was great, all about family. Makes us appreciate that we have a family. Every family has it's bad points and good points. We just have to look on the brighter side. We normally tend to look at other families who SEEM better than ours, but you just don't know what's beneatht eh surface. Every family has it's own problems. Don't take yours for granted. Cherish what you have and make the best out of it. Don't wait till they are gone before you regret, that will be far too late. "Don't it always seem to go, that they don't know what they've got till it's gone." Quote from a song, "The Big Yellow Taxi". I watched The Polar Express with my father on Saturday night and that movie brought warmth to my heart. There is just something about Christmas and Spending it with your family that brings warmth to you. However, I don't seem to feel that warmth in Singapore very often. There is no 'qi fen' here. I hope that there will be more in Hong Kong ^^ Can't wait to go there. Oh yes, also I have a hiphop performances coming up that is causing me countless of bruises. Ugh, my poor knees. But I love hiphop really, eagerly await it every week. I've stopped piano till next year to get a breather, I like piano loads, but sometimes, pratising gets on my nerves. Well, I think I about covered up last month, and I will just have to wait and see what comes next, for now, CHERRIOS!! ^^ I love the Holidays!
