11:46 p.m. today i couldnt sleep yesterday night. tossed and turned and slept for 3 hours only. i almost didnt want to wake up this morning. and so i was almost late for the indoor stadium training. almost, because i took a cab from ang mo kio to reach on time. yimyiu and i met yuwei at the training. the same interviewers were in charge of our training. they brought us to a function room, and we had briefings. i wouldnt term them as briefings, because they werent at all brief in any way. i would term them as lectures, because they handed us notes that were thicker than my 103 and 105 handwritten notes added together. !!! they took us to a stadium tour, and let us in on a saddening fact, that the ushers are never allowed backstage. haiz. but never mind. the weather was hot like nothing, and the lectures were boring and repetitive. i started doodling. after the lectures (finally! after 10 years.) they handed us an evaluation form, and it stated that we needed to return them the training materials, ie. our notes. so i hurriedly erased my sleeping stickman. but in the end we didnt need to return the notes. i quickly drew my cute sleeping stickman back. and so we are going to be paid peanuts. hopefully the events wouldnt turn out to be as stressful as how they described during the lectures. yimyiu and i went to raffles city to window-shop. went to swarovski to view the crystals from outside. they only cost $100-odd! chey, all along i thought the crystals cost no less than ten thousand dollars. papa received the voting card. guess what? he is supposed to vote for the pasir ris-punggol grc! hahhaa coz he didnt change his IC address until march. so in the end he is going to vote in a grc that wont be affecting us in any way. watched burning flame. officially the last episode of meiheng's character. kennise just called me to ask if meiheng acted in the show coz she saw the show at her friend's house. and when i told her meiheng only appeared in 4 pathetic episodes, she totally sian-ed diao. friday, 28 april 2006 watched DOC from episode 5 to 15. i skipped episode 8 to 11 coz ive watched them a lot of times before renting the vcds. and i have a lot to comment. shall finish the show first. i was watching episode 12 when papa came home, and he said meiheng looks like sammi. hahaha. =) i finally got episode 7 onwards! episode 7 was so sweet. and episode 8 is the nicest episode so far! okay 6 to 8 are nice. had a night msn gathering with jsfc friends again. such a coincidence that all of us were online during midnight.
10:43 p.m. the first thing i did after i woke up was to check if episode 7 was up. nope. went to watch the 1pm news, with the nomination day special edition. i cant vote. lazed around, cracked my brains for the wicked, popped in to see if episode 7 was up, and read some magazines. went to orchard to meet kennise and karen to get the dream of colours vcds. while waiting for them, i met wenhui, who i havent seen in years, and joel and lin li. for some unknown reason, both my senior and my junior were out together on a weekday evening at orchard. went to plaza singapura to eat the delicious noodles. there were more people crowding around the plasma screen at poh kim when it was showing i not stupid too than dae jeung guem. came home and played neopets. yes, the game which i abandoned after sec 3. and my poor pet is amazingly still alive! i thought they would bury my pet because i hadnt fed it for 4-5 years. so i bloated the pet up and played some games. hahaha. the LFD poll has great news! this is the latest poll result: here. ignoring the father, meiheng is first! yay. but it wont last long because her votes are almost the same as raymond's. aaaahh silly poll, but im surprised the results are gradually becoming realistic. except for the father. impatiently waiting for episodes 7 and 8. shall now watch DOC.
11:30 p.m. i woke up from my dream, crying. did household chores. bought groceries. killed ants. i woke up from my dream, crying. i cried again at the end of the day. 5th day of the holidays. even though i did the most things today, i felt as if i achieved the least today. into the drain.
10:24 p.m. yesterday i wanted to go tampines, but it was raining and i was too lazy. waited for the whole of yesterday for episode 5 but to no avail. jean introduced me to the airport job person in charge, called anan. got bored, mainly for one reason: i have no show to watch. my new nick is 闷到飞起, meaning im so bored that i can fly. makes no sense, i think, but thats how the hongkongers describe absolute boredom. yesterday i completed wicked junior till level 30, which is quite easy, but still stuck at level 39 for wicked. today i had a msn chat with pok pok tsui and jasmine, which was full of network problems. episode 5 is up! happily watching it and i was late for the interview with anan. had a hard time finding his home office. anyway, i signed the part-time contract. and felt a bit insecure. i have this apprehension about signing contracts. it feels as if im signing a life-death contract. so now ive got a part-time at the airport transit. yay back to the transit times. i sparked a heat between papa and yongjie. it was unintentional. all i did was to tell papa i have a part time job. haiz. next time have a mental note, not to say unnecessary things at the wrong time. episode 6 is up too! yay. oooh episode 6 is damn steamy and hot. the way ko ling behaved is like a mixture of heung ling and mok wai zi. indoor stadium called yimyiu and i, and we are going for training this saturday. yimyiu was sleeping and i was bathing when the lady called the both of us, but i managed to get back to her while yimyiu slept until 6 plus which was way past their office hours. oooh i love episode 6. im going to rewatch and rewatch until i get episode 7 and/or a new show to watch.
11:02 p.m. went jurong point to see jace. there were surprisingly a lot of people crowding at areas other than the stage looking at the crew set up the i-gallops. after lunch, a lot of people were at the stage area, and i managed to squeeze in. full of rowdy kids and weird people. a big fat man in front of the tiny me plus a television screen in the middle of nowhere. bryan wong was hosting some games, and then jace and ix came out. half the time they were doing nothing. the whole event was about letting the audience win something back, so i was quite bored. i managed to say hi to jace before she left. and that was all. haha i shouldnt have attended this event. there was a cat lying on the grass beside the pathway somewhere on the route to the mrt station from my house. i saw the cat yesterday, and took a picture of it coz i thought it was fat and cute. then yesterday night i walked home and the same cat was lying in the same position. i stared at it for the longest time to note for any signs of breathing. nothing at all. i suspected the cat was dead but wasnt sure coz it was dark. then this morning the cat was still there, and some flies were circling the cat's face. poor cat. and im so angry with myself. i forgot about burning flame!!! i totally forgot today was sunday, until kennise told me she had to work tomorrow. the bad thing about holidays. and today's episode had meiheng!! all because i was engrossed in watching a clip of flora in the super trio show. aarrrggghh. haiz. if i still feel sad about it for the next few days, im going to rent the show, since i like the show, even though meiheng appears in only 4 pathetic episodes. aaaaahhh *thumps chest*. h---a---i---z---.
11:27 p.m. cleared and arranged all my year one notes and textbooks. cleaning my room day by day shall be the first plan of my holidays. this is an important day, because i made an important decision. for 11 years, ive been collecting newspaper articles of wenfang and jacelyn, and as the years went by i started collecting articles of jessica, flora, mariane, jiawei, joe and moses. today, i have decided, not to collect newspaper articles anymore. this is a major decision for me, because all these years, my family had been telling me to stop cutting newspapers, especially after stacking them until they turned yellow, and cutting them diligently by the stacks. the newspaper stacks turned into heaps and it had made my curent storeroom a newspaper dumping room. i began to feel weary about cutting articles, partly due to technological advancements, and partly because i felt that collecting the articles and pasting them nicely in scrapbooks serve no purpose other than being a memory of the past. but i wont throw away the scrapbooks that i had painstakingly collated in the past decade. they will be kept properly so that i can recall the events that happened. i guess its a sign of ageing. i do not chase idols as frequently as i did in the past, even though im going to see jace tomorrow. ahah. but ive stopped taping every single advertisement of wenfang and jace. but i still continue to support their shows and performances. it really is a sign of ageing. nicely put, it is a sign of maturity. hahah. went for dinner with kennise, karen and cindy at a vegetarian restaurant in chinatown. had a great time chatting and discussing. we went to bugis after our early dinner for some window shopping. watched burning flame with meiheng's 3-minute appearance in today's episode. i prefer burning flame to BF2 because the storyline is much better. while waiting for the episode 5, i have no shows to watch. shall start to plan my holidays. =D
11:22 p.m. today yay! end of exams! =D i am watching LFD. dont ask me how i can watch LFD. shhhhhh. anyway the show is very nice! i cant wait for ko ling to be with siu chai. i moved on to level 39 for the wicked! all thanks to the forum hints, and i managed to solve it after knowing the direction. and i dont feel like using my brains to think for level 39 yet coz im exhausted from the whole week of exams. i cant believe that fateful website that i frequented a lot during the ITA times has returned to becoming my favourite website. and coincidentally, i watched both ITA and LFD during exam periods. i might want to buy a place of one's own, with mariane and meiheng in it, since ts is having half price sale. =P thursday, 20 april 2006 nowadays the programme that i watched the most is good morning singapore, aka zao an nin hao. because i have been waking up early to study, i usually catch the repeat telecast that is directly after the live telecast. and today i was so lucky to be able to catch the cast of women of times!! wenfang, zheng peipei, edmund chen and chen hanwei were on the show, and i taped it! i think most fans would have missed it coz if i werent watching the news segment before that, i wouldnt know that wenfang would be on the show as well. i'll see if i can record it on my camera to put online, and see if anyone wants it.
03:25 p.m. today yimyiu called me when i was on the way home, and we poured out to each other about the feelings of the indoor stadium interview, and the phone call lasted for half an hour. luckily i wasnt the one who called, coz my handphone month just started, and im paying for my own bill. had another msn gathering with jsfc friends again. popo called and said that jane-zehzeh has given birth this morning! hhaha im an aunt. and popo and yeye are great grandparents. i cant wait to see the adorable nephew. yimyiu told me about an article in straits times today. after reading it on factiva (i refuse to buy the whole stack of papers for one article), i felt confused. on one hand, i got to know the reason behind it, but on the other hand, i felt... that it was a pity. one side of me felt that the crux behind the story is important to spread as a message, but the other side of me felt that the papers shouldnt expose everything just to get the message across. but having studied an intro course to journalism, the papers were given the right to publish the information they had, and unavoidably feelings of the people involved had to be hurt. thats how it works. prerhaps we should read, get the message, and get over it. dwelling too much into it doesnt do any good to anyone. someone help~ im still stuck on level 38 of the wicked. wenfang's new drama will be showing on 1 may!!! ahahha yay. tuesday, 18 april 2006 went for the interview at indoor stadium. waited for quite long before my turn. there were three interviewers. i got a shock when i entered the room. they had a nice name for the post: guest relations officer. actually its a part time usher. and they made the post sound super important that i cannot have blunders when working. it was pretty scary that they bombarded me with tonnes of scenarios. had an online gathering with my jsfc friends. was so coincidental that all of us were online in the afternoon. the stars office called and checked if i wanted to drop or change subjects for special sem. i confirmed with her that i wanted to drop. then i received an email saying that they dropped it for me. and the last sentence was "Do ensure that you drop your subject within the dropping period in future." what the-. hello?!?! you didnt give me an option that allowed me to drop or acknowledge. and i enquired with the office about it, and the staff told me to send the dumb email to them, indicating that i wanted to drop. and now they bite back by saying i didnt drop within the timeframe. are they blind or blind? the dumb email was sent within the dropping period. the screwed-up stars didnt allow me to do anything and yet in my timetable they labeled my status as being registered. they should just check their system before accusing their student. if not for the fact that i am still a student, i wouldnt mind replying this back in an email format because i wouldnt have worries about incurring their wrath. yesterday i wasnt as angry as now, but when i typed this entry as a backtrack of yesterday's events, i got quite furious about their accusation. grr.
09:05 p.m. today
i lost track of the dates. sunday, 16 april 2006 HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOSES!
ah mo and his signature "siu gong zi" smile. i dont have any other picture of ah mo alone, other than screencaps. so make do with this funny and/or hideous picture of ah mo. saturday, 15 april 2006 HAPPY BIRTHDAY YILING!
study. friday, 14 april 2006
went to visit my grandparents.
11:18 p.m. marilvyn said she watched 5 tvb dramas yesterday. which made me want to watch tvb dramas. specifically le femme desperado. aaaah. but i cant watch it immediately after the exams. and rental of new shows cost $2.50 for two episodes. thats 50 cents more than the normal ones. urgh. i might settle for dream of colours and secret of the heart from jasmine temporarily. return of the shaker fries!! yay. didnt feel like studying anymore for today. so i spent 2 hours on the wicked and managed to move on to level 38. and stuck. haha. and tired from solving. shall not continue for the time being. i cannot believe how stupid i was. knowing that the poll at the LFD website is just a silly poll, i still spent time voting for meiheng. yesterday i voted a hundred times and finally pulled her up to the top position, being ahead of raymond. and just now when i checked the poll, raymond has 900-odd votes and counting, while meiheng in second place with reaching 300 votes, 100 of them kudos to me. hahaha i know it was dumb of me, very well knowing that raymond has a lot more fans who are more fanatic and have more free time to vote in such a silly poll. so im not continuing to cast another hundred, no, make that 700 votes, to make meiheng on the top. because that is just impossible. hahaha. it goes to show how boh-liao i was. proof. yesterday's hard work before i went off to sleep. my efforts wasted. and look how drastic the polls are. the supporting actor acting as meiheng's father is leading the other female lead. anyway, for those who cant read chinese, or cant read traditional chinese, just look at the pictures and numbers and they tell all. haiz.
11:32 p.m. updates of my life: today
the basketball court at src was like a freezer. tuesday, 11 april 2006
study day. monday, 10 april 2006
study day.
06:10 p.m. its study study and more studying these days. and im getting headaches from all that studying. but my study speed is really slow. taking a break now. i managed to move on to level 34 for the wicked, thanks to adel's clues for some of the stages. sore throat and ulcers getting better, but the headches are coming in rapidly. it is said that meiheng will appear in episode 10 of burning flame. which happens to be tonight's episode! haha. aaaah. i tried to relieve my headaches by listening to the silly schnappi song but it didnt work. aaaaahh. tumultuous period. aaaah. stop the schni schna schnappi, schnappi schnappi schnup. this is a pointless entry. haiz.
11:02 p.m. went for dinner with kennise, jasmine and cindy at raffles city. had a great time chatting and eating. the crepe at out of the pan is nice. jasmine was so freaked out by a cockroach in one of the toilet cubicles at basement one, that we simply moved up to the 2nd level toilet instead of figuring out which cubicle the cockroach's next target was. we figured the cockroach didnt know how to take the escalator up to level 2. karen's happily in south korea. she called kennise just now to check whether she won her 4D or not. and it has been raining these few days during the afternoons. which proves that 清明时节雨纷纷. (chinese simplified) and yesterday was qingming. the progress of study isnt very fast. and i need to speed up. being cooped up in school allows me to study more, because i will have lesser distractions. jean the lucky woman is going to hk for summer studies! aaah i should have applied for it. never mind, im going to apply for it next year. and my post-exam plans are on hold now, because i need to know the results of the special sem allocation before i can do anything. right now, the december hk trip is the only confirmed one. yesterday and today were my off-days from school. and tomorrow there's 103 tutorial and exam review for 816. haiz.
11:03 p.m. today HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNETH! handed up 105 project 2, which signified the end of projects and the start of revision. the 105 quiz was easier than expected. some things are just not meant to be said here. went in search for eVonne's previous albums before her compilation album. im not buying from sembawang and music junction because their albums are mostly from china. i want the original ones, even if they cost around $20 each. i havent bought any yet. the magazines with my idols are freaking expensive. bro magazine with joe, women's weekly and v magazine with wenfang, style with jacelyn, some random magazine with eVonne... they cost a bomb, and there are only a few pages of them in the magazines. haiz. i wont be buying or renting any vcds within this two weeks. probably after the exams, while waiting for the full set of LFD to come out, i might rent dream of colours. and buy great adventurer, dragon eye congee and recipe of the heart. playing the wicked, influenced by yunxin. im stuck at level 18 for the wicked, but i completed until level 25 for the wicked junior! more levels will be added for junior. junior is easier for the linguistically-inclined people, while wicked is suited for the it-savvy people. sore throat plus two huge ulcers equals to discomfort. monday, 3 april 06 HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIAYING! spent 5.5 hours in school just to wait for 107 lecture. and the 107 lecture only took 45 minutes!! haiz. so i spent the time studying for 105 quiz, doing 105 project stuffs, and surfing around aimlessly when i got bored of studying. downloaded le femme desperado's trailers!! i like the second trailer better, coz there are more captures of meiheng. hopefully there are more trailers to come.
11:54 p.m. today stayed home today. struggled with 105 project. i didnt s/u anything after all. did housechores. felt lethargic due to sore throat and insomnia. haiz. saturday, 1 april 2006 arranged my messy notes, did 105 project, did household chores, and went off to meet gujie for dinner and fei yuqing concert. gujie wanted to watch her idol sing live but couldnt find anyone to accompany her. the concert started at 820pm, and fei yuqing started singing a few songs. after each song he would have a sip of water. so during the whole concert he drank four glasses of water. he has a good voice, his pitching is good and he doesnt go off-key and can definitely sing live, unlike other singers who cant even handle their pitch. he told four "yellow" jokes. he's the ultimate for yellow jokes la. i took some time to comprehend his jokes. as i did not know half the songs he sang, i soon became bored and started the yawns, and switched focus to the filming of the concert. the stadium was 80% occupied, with 95% of the people above 40 years old, and the echo in the stadium was horrible. overall it was quite worth the price we paid, because he sang a lot and talked only a little. walked a long way out of the stadium after the concert, then took a bus out, and walked again, and took 158, thinking that it would reach kallang mrt station after 2 bus stops like before. never did i know how drastic the bus route has changed. for a moment i didnt know where i was. we hurriedly alighted at aljunied, only to realise that we didnt catch the last train towards boon lay. so eventually we had to take a taxi home. we could have hopped into one when we were at the stadium, and that would save us the hassle. started having a sore throat after the concert. grrr. and i couldnt sleep. oh no. i dont want to fall sick.
