dad wants me to go to yjc so that i can take my dream combination of geography, biology, literature and art.
apparently, they allow any combination at all.
that means i can replace economics with something else.
but no thanks.
as much as i hate the subject (let it be official - i can't stand economics - teacher and all), i will try and make do with my dire circumstances in the subject and take up tuition class or something.

ms tan is quite possibly the worst economics teacher around.
i do not comprehend her.
she does not like me.
(she's caught us skipping tutorials and lectures a few times before.)
that's all there is to our student-teacher relationship.
quite, quite non-existant.
except she knows my name.
she knew it from the second lesson.
darn it.

anyway, i caught million dollar baby after mass today and i must say it's extremely inspiring.
i don't like the ending though.
only happily-ever-afters work for me, thank you very much.

:)
i'm off for dinner.

Saturday, March 5, 2005 11:13 p.m.

i am happiness personified. :)

met up with sarah, sab, tanny, tricia and mitch for a massive pig-out and photo-taking session that brought us from borders bistro to hui liu shan (i know how to pronounce it in cantonese now!) to the theatres of lido for hitch.
nice, feel-good movie. :)

as if on cue, my dad called me just as the movie ended at 9.30pm to meet him outside shaw so that he could fetch me home.
he'd brought my sis shopping in town and they'd picked up more new volumes of the sandman comics that davina is an official fan of now.
wow.
it's been one smooooth day, aye.

Friday, March 4, 2005 10:06 p.m.

i think i just got cheated.
the fast-talking guys at the shop got me paying truckloads more than usual for my nokia 7270.
but oh well, i'm going to overlook that and relish the fact that i've finally got my dream phone. :)
so yay.

i'm going to read the user's guide from cover to cover (and possibly attempt reading the chinese section).
i need distractions please, to keep me from becoming angsty and anything like that because i'm so stressed out about the jc thing and as much as i try to forget it i cannot help but keep the thought lingering behind my mind and springing forward each slightest moment i become happy so much so i am almost and quite perpetually vexed.
argh.

on a lighter note, i played mahjong, had icecream at icecube and met up with swei etc so i did have a good day.
right.
i'm off.

Friday, March 4, 2005 12:56 a.m.

got home an hour ago.
anyway, i skipped school and went down to acjc this morning.
the teacher in the office seemed nice enough...
i bet she's an economics teacher; kept talking about 'demand and supply'.
sab asked about the pre-requisites for biology and apparently there aren't any.
haha.
unlike some other jcs we know.

that was followed by lunch and some window shopping at holland village, and a huge catch-up session with sarah, mitch, sab, tanny and jiaying in cineleisure.
we sat there for about 4 hours.
i met my cj classmates after their movie and realised many of them are staying on.
hmmm.
we're given a break from school due to the release of the A level results tomorrow which is absolutely fantastic.
this means we can have another day of mahjong and also meet up with the bbc. :)

speaking of mahjong, there's this miniature mahjong set from madame butterfly in takashimaya that i want to get.
it's adorable...
and perfect for mahjong anytime, anywhere. :)
we're becoming quite the addicts.

about 18 of us caught the 9.30pm lemony snicket's a series of unfortunate events at lido after, and i really enjoyed the movie.
charm and i were laughing our heads off.
haha.
i've always loved meryl streep ever since watching her in river wild.
she's so awesome.

okay, jan wants to bring us around nyjc tomorrow so i might go with chow, charm and swei.
hope i can wake up early enough though.

right now, i just wish the 23rd of march would roll by quickly.
fast.

Tuesday, March 1, 2005 10:20 p.m.

i'm conflicted.
there are many people who scored better than 11 points and chose to stay in cj, so why should i want to leave?
furthermore i want to take arts.
tsk, dilemma.
oh and my site statistic hit an all-time high of a 100 visitors on monday - i bet people were surfing around checking out how everyone else did.
haha.
i wish people wouldn't keep skipping school though.
i want to see as much of my friends as possible before officially leaving the school.
and that is if i decide to go.

nevermind.
we've 3 more days to register.

Monday, February 28, 2005 09:16 p.m.

i didn't do as well as i'd hoped.
only 4 As and 2 Bs to encapsulate my l1r5.
i'm quite glad i didn't get anything below b3 but the score still isn't anything fantastic.
i've got the most irritating points ever.
absolutely inbetween and in no way definite at all.
i'm just glad i didn't let ms jeya and ms chua down for english literature and english respectively because i would have died knowing i'd disappointed them.
for now, i'm going to attend cj faithfully the rest of march and attain a pretty report card before leaving the place for good.
that is if decide i want to leave cj.
egad.

i think i'd better get some sleep first.
sarah, tricia, tanessa, michelle, sabrina and i had an awesome sleepover last night in an attempt to drown our worries in mahjong and basically wear ourselves down so much so we would be too tired to actually stress over the results.
we only napped from 8am to 11am this morning.

they're the best friends ever.
i love them all so much. :)

Friday, February 25, 2005 11:35 p.m.

mr isaac lim is the most adorable teacher ever (i realise it's an awkward adjective to use on him but he's really damn cute in the lamest way possible).
i saw him drinking strawberry milk out of a straw today.
even mr liew widened his eyes.
like how much more laughter-inducing can that get. :D

and i quote what he said when we were made to climb on top of the monkey bar with our arms during pe yesterday.

"children, you all must climb the bar like ants. be anthletes.
ha-ha-ha."

that, on top of all his other corny jokes about us "waking the dead guy" who invented the rope knot we used to scale the wall because we couldn't remember his name and his heart would thereby shatter into pieces blah blah blah.
he's so full of rubbish!
but i really do like his lessons.
he's one hilarious fellow.
in fact, i don't even mind when he makes us run 10 rounds like we did today.
because he makes funny comments with every round completed.
such is the effect of lameness on me. :D

yeah, i was more or less high the entire day (i bet it was my chocolate-laden breakfast) and i actually still am.
tralala.
i really should obviate all forms of glucose from my food intake.
really.

Friday, February 25, 2005 01:31 a.m.

i hardly use my gmail account except to store files, so it comes as a great surprise to find out that i currently have 50 gmail invites to spare.
i've given away a few.
does anyone want one?

i'm so glad it rained today.
the hot spell is really getting to me...
and apparently, many other people too, with foul tempers rampant.
i suppose tomorrow's more or less our last day in cj.
unofficially.
'cause people are bound to start disappearing from monday onwards.
ho hum.
the anticipation is killing me.
ripping, stripping, tearing me apart.

that's exactly how i feel when i make a wrong move in mahjong.
haha.

Thursday, February 24, 2005 12:53 a.m.

i really really really feel like skipping school on friday because...
(a) we're required to write an econs essay during the one period lesson and
(b) i need time to prepare myself for d-day come monday.

but then again, i want to see as much of my class as possible before we go our separate ways.
tsk.
i'll miss them.

sab, tanny, jiaying and i went over to mitch's place after school today for bridge and a whole lot of woohoo-ing on the computer. :)
sarah's coming back on friday/monday, so yay!
this calls for a reunion, pink ladies (i'm not going to use candyflosss like you tanny).

i can't stand this stage of indecisiveness and not knowing how things will turn out so until the results are released, freak out people!
of course, i know worrying's not going to help because 'what's done is done' blah blah blah...
however, lamenting can be therapeutic too, no?

Monday, February 21, 2005 01:50 p.m.

so yesterday was mass followed by lunch with grace and charm.
i had forgotten how much i love coffee bean's caesar salad.
cj's band concert was in the evening during which belle, tricia, semiramis and i left during the intermission for a spot of dinner at citylink.
i love sandwiches!
belle, you should start liking them too. :)

anyway, i skipped school today in hopes of visiting the dentist, but she's apparently booked all day.
so i'll be heading off to belle's place in a while for mahjong with the 3 of them.

mahjong!
i like.

Sunday, February 20, 2005 01:22 a.m.

hmmm, it's been quite a long time since i properly updated.
i'm online this time to register for the singpass thing.
the jae's next week!

anyhoo, i attended my first pilates lesson today.
finally.
it was more of a biology class though...
but i suppose that's how it's going to be for the 1st few weeks of orientation, with more technical terms being introduced.
my teacher's a really funky japanese lady. :)
can't wait for the next lesson.

oh yes, over the chinese new year visiting period, my aunt began compiling names of our extended family members...
so we're going to have an ong family tree (maternal side) up soon.
sounds awesome eh.
my uncle's going to computerize it and put up the photos we took of each family.
also, the entire ong family had studio photos taken last week.
we went for the whole white-top-and-denim combo so everyone looked casual and laidback. :)
hope we get the photos soon.

okay, i'm off to wash up for now.
got to attend mass at st francis xavier church with grace, kermin and charm tomorrow.
i don't really know where it's situated in serangoon...
but i do know it's near my favourite hokkien mee stall so that's absolutely fine with me. :)

i finally checked out the ice cream place after supper at serangoon gardens yesterday.
there were so many st nicks girls in the area, with about 4 groups including ours at chomp chomp.
hohoho.
and the ice kacang stall aunty recognises me by my shoes.
interesting.
alright i'm off for now.

Thursday, February 17, 2005 09:44 p.m.

today's such a fantastic day. :D
so many awesome things have happened recently (including swei and charm's birthdays) so it's good ol' cheer all around.
i don't know why exactly but i've been skipping around school and singing through the corridors so much so all i can say is it's best to celebrate this week and spend the next fretting over the impending o level results.
that's right, keep happy now and stress later.
don't think about the o levels.
get it out of sight, out of mind.
laugh more, smile more, grin more.
no worries.
hakuna matata.

darn it, who am i kidding.
i'm a born worry wart.
