STEPHANIE :D

A quick update.

2010-11-20T15:08:00.001+08:00

A quick update for today.
Hmm i'm going hospital to see the specialist on 6Dec (i know so late right!)
But they claimed that was the earliest they could give me. -________-
So i've no choice but to stick to it.
& I'll have to carry my drawing block sized x-ray film along :X
It's gonna be pretty troublesome on the squeezy MRT train cos it mustn't bend it.

Now i think the painkillers work.
Like a little.
Sleeping's becoming a problem for me cos of the pain.
So now i take my painkillers to sleep better.

Hmm btw, i'm getting a little bored from blogger.
I might be migrating to Onsugar which is much sweeter :DDD

Feeling casual.

2010-11-14T23:08:00.005+08:00

I've been such a horrible liar.
In my previous post, i mentioned "Shall blog about my week soon."
I'm sorry i failed and i think i'm giving it a miss (pardon me, my memory ain't good :/)
Okay basically i'm gonna blog like normal,
whatever that comes to my mind will just come out here.

I'm a casual blogger; i don't plan a blog post.
So yeah ;D

I almost blogged on 11/10/10, in fact it's still in my drafts.
But. I. will. not. post. it. up.
If you've been a loyal reader of my blog,
you'd have known that i only post happy memories worth remembering here.
If you're smart enough you'll have understood what i meant.
Yeah on the eleventh i got a little cranky.
Lost my cool because of my musculoskeletal chest pain.
I'm supposed to be recuperating, but seriously, NO.
The pain hasn't got any better.
In fact i finally gave in to the painkillers. (which doesn't quite work either..)
Like i mentioned earlier, the ECG and chest x-ray reports are fine.
So ultimately i don't know what's wrong.
Doc says i've to see a specialist at the hospital if it does not gradually get better.

Since i've dragged my health condition for 2 months already,
I think it's time for me to be an obedient girl to seek all your lovely advices -
I shall seek a medical specialist tmr.
Faking that i'm fine totally sucked when i'm feeling mad uncomfortable deep inside.
The pain is restricting my movements and my freedom to have fun.
Plus It's scary to guess what problem i'm suffering from:
To think that it may be cancer, or a broken rib, or that i might die soon;
I'll let these guessing games end, before it drives me crazy.
BUT. It's the cost is what i'm most concerned about.
(And that's also the reason why i've been refusing medical attention)

Sincerely, i wanna thank you friends for all the support, advices and the well wishes :)))
You all have been awesome. ♥
Shall stop ranting on the chest pain issue here.
Will update on it once the specialist verifies my condition.

PW
this annoying, one of the most-hated subject,
finally ended for me last monday.
It should be a good thing but why no smiley faces??
-Because i ended it horribly.
I was running a fever and sore throat on my day of Oral Presentation - totally the wrong day!
THE BIGGEST NO-NO.
I only could say that was one of the worst presentations of my life,
worst than my trial runs and everything.
Forgetting to smile, getting on and off concentration thanks to the heated brain,
i think i totally lost the confidence i had initially.
I still battled it, but not victoriously i guess.
I want my A. I want it so badly. Give it to me!

Hmm.
Holidays sort of have started for me. (minus the cca part)
There's so much to type.
I'll continue adding on to this post this week - since i'm slightly more free.
Just keep a lookout! ;D

Deepavali (:

2010-11-05T22:19:00.003+08:00

I'll blog a short one today; Shall blog about my week soon.
Okay i really mean SOON. So just be patient and wait ah :D

Today is Deepavali,
so my greeting goes out to all celebrating it, (Is it only Hindus that celebrate Deepavali?)

Hahaha i decided to blog because this really nice Hindu neighbour of mine,
delivered their chicken curry and festive cookies to my family this evening!
She and my eldest aunt are like pretty good friends cos my aunt always casually water her pots and plants for her (:
Nonetheless, what a sweet gesture to deliver these foodies to our doorstep!
She's a really sweet lady, i remembered she actually stayed up with us at the void deck during my grandma's funeral during really late-nights (the AMs), after her long day of work.
She came to console us and chatted with us for hours even though she had to work the next day.
Just thought this was something nice to share so i decided to blog it here (:
Ohhh. I should never forget to mention - The curry was so gooddddddddddddddd!
It was spicy and savoury enough for my liking :DDD
I haven't tried the cookies, but my aunt said she also gave us some pineapple jellies which were pretty good too.

Ahhh. I lazed around this entire day :S
My tweet, dated 31 Oct: "Me wanna get dressed in a Sari/Punjabi to celebrate this Deepavali! Anyone wanna join me too? :DDD"
Argh it obviously failed.
#1. Failing to borrow a Sari/Punjabi in time. I shall not blame PW; I was just lazy.
#2. My parents would have thought i went crazy or smth? I guess they might be thinking like i've an indian boyf or smth. Lol.
#3. NO MONEY TO GET OUTTA HOME D: (So why waste time to get dressed up & get out? Lol.)

Meanwhile,
I really gained weight. No need to weight this time.
Can feel and see already.
Gosh. This is what happens after Will Run trainings and Napfa test ends.
I kept feeling hungry and stuff myself with food.
Worst thing of all, I kept craving for sugaries and other good food.
How can i ever expect my weight to decline at this rate??
Probably never. So i better start controlling.
[Omg Mr Chuah's pizza treat this Monday!!!]
Slimming centres did open for the right reasons and i think they earn really big bucks.
Sounds like a pretty good option eh?
Bleh, no money..
:(

Random?

2010-11-01T19:47:00.000+08:00

STALKER ALERT!
Hahaha nope i'm just kidding.
Teehee I went to check on my blog readership:
To realize i have smart readers ;)
High readership on Saturdays was reflected
Trending-spotting eh? Yeah smart.
I prefer to blog on Saturdays.
But not all the time.. (like now?)
Sometimes i can blog like 3 times a week.

Hmm.
I'm still not quite in the mood to blog about my October "happenings"..
Sorry for the anti-climax.
I get really tired these days.
I'll be blogging again once i get my mood back.
Meanwhile,

Deepavali this friday:
I wanna get dressed in a Sari or Punjabi and party out! ^^
Anyone interested too? Text me text me! :DDD

Lazy.

2010-10-30T12:44:00.002+08:00

Imma lazy girl - sorry i haven't been blogging!
And i still don't feel like blogging, yet.
But i promise, the next time i blog,
it's gonna be a really long post. Serious.

And in case anyone's worrying,
my chest x-ray report is normal (:

Dilemma

2010-10-16T16:58:00.004+08:00

I'm not crazy; I think i'm sensible.
I want to retain but everyone's seeing it like a really horrible thing.
And i don't know how to tell my parents about it because i think they'll feel the same way as the majority do. 面子问题, i must say.
But i'd rather spend another year repeating JC1 than getting pushed up to JC2 and struggle through the year of 2011.
I know that isn't the best way but my results isn't quite on par with the rest.
So i guess this is currently the best path?
Tell me what to do; i feel LOST. VERY LOST.
All is need are useful advices, support and encouragements.
Keep those discouraging comments to yourself or get lost.

2010 made my head spun rounds and rounds.
I do think i grew up quite a bit.
It sucks to see these terrible, ugly things in life.
I really hate 2010.
All the unhappy happenings that occurred to me this year.
1. My dearest paternal grandma passed away - that marked the deepest downturn in my entire life: having to see her gasping for her last breath right before my eyes.
I really miss her ♥ I remember crying days and nights and i remained extremely down for several weeks until i grew out of it. The toughest period of my life.
2. My health condition has evidently gotten worse.
I have a weak body and i know it. My gastric problem remains the same as it was.
I always get giddy, probably cos of anaemia. And my body weakens when youknowwhat comes.
Now this musculoskeletal chest pain developed and it doesn't seem to recover.
I've been pretty concerned about my health this year but my parents doesn't seem to care.

There's lots more i can type but i think i shall stop here.
My blog posts are getting a little lengthy these days.
Oh and nothing special happened on 10.10.10
D:

This blog post is boring cos it's picture-less..
Hmm shall top up with this:

This dress is so pretty, i want it so badlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy D:

HAPPY.

2010-10-08T19:02:00.007+08:00

^ Nice pic i found yeah? I added the quote in myself :D

HAPPY (:
Okay now i'm better.
The chest pain doesn't seem to be going away. It's so weird.
Can't really sleep well cos it hurts more when i lie flat.
It still hurts the most when i need to sneeze or cough.
So i'm making sure that i don't fall sick till this chest pain recovers.
HAHA and i'm not carrying backpacks to school anymore because i can't!
I'm not allow to exert pressure with my chest muscle, so i actually have a bit of problem putting on and off the straps of a backpack..
I can't carry heavy stuffs and i think i won't anyway.
Looking from sort of a brighter side, i'm kinda getting used to the pain.
So actually i'm adapting quite well with it (:
Nonetheless, i can't wait for it to go off.
ASAP please! Because:

That's about 2 more weeks.
So i need to start training. (I haven't really exercised since August!)
I signed up for it so i don't wish to miss it.

Hmm.
Life haven't been great last week.
People tell me not to be pessimistic about my promos results.
(But i know where i stand heh? I can kinda sense the outcome.)
It's no joke when you really foresee yourself retaining.
And i think i will.
But i don't see what's so bad about retaining.
Just perhaps i'll miss the great pals in the class, thinking about another year of $$ investment and hmm the embarrassments and criticisms you're gonna get.

Now that promos are over,
I told myself, to stay preppy, cheerful and to play more than ever,
before i receive the worst news.. (probably next week)
Went on a shopping trip last afternoon.
Spent about 60 big bucks but felt no sense of satisfaction?
Actually you should know you can't buy much with that, so yeah.
But guess what i bought (that's quite a lot i managed to buy <60$):
-1 bag of shrimp crackers
-1 japanese cream cheese waffle
-2 pairs of shoes :DDD
-2 tops
-1 sample size Miss Dior Cherie Perfume (cos i can't afford the full-sized one below! :/)

Okay i admit that turning a little high maintenance. Shhhh.
Had Curry Katsu Don with Chawanmushi for Lunner (Lunch-dinner)
It was good and made me super full.
Lasted me the entire night so it was worth the $! (:
Wanted to bag home more stuffs from Muji. ♥ their quality products!
I swear their shrimp crackers is damn good. Like super.
Should have bagged 4 bags home insteaddddd.
My Sea salt caramel waffle out of stock! Argh.
Hence i picked the cream cheese one - which didn't taste much like cream cheese?
More like sweetened cheese paste, but still not bad lah :P
Felt like buying products from their skincare and toiletries,
but i haven't finish much of my current, so i gave it a miss.
Well i discovered my liking for men's clothings during the shopping trip.
Weird for a girly woman like me heh?
I like jeep's basic tees. For men. LOL.

Okay this post is kinda long already.
I'm a little tired. Shall stop here.

Fear

2010-10-02T11:54:00.001+08:00

Musculoskeletal chest pain.
This feeling inside is killing me.
Doc says i probably sprained a muscle on the inside.
And all i can do is to rely on painkillers to relieve the pain and let it heal on its own.
It's gonna take quite a bit of time.
I don't wanna rely on the painkillers.
The reason why i haven't been taking the painkillers:

Ibuprofen can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. This risk will increase the longer you use ibuprofen.

Read more: http://www.drugs.com/ibuprofen.html#ixzz11Aa1jk00

Not just that. Medicines do affect my ability to think.
And they do make me a little cranky.

PROMOs is gone-case.
I mean i don't think i can be that optimistic and give myself false hope.
Well i know the pain is affecting my performance.
But what can i do? Nothing.
Who is to blame? Myself, for not taking care of myself well.
The sense of fear is overpowering me.
I'm scared.
I don't like the way things are going for me.
I want my life back.
I demand my cheerful self back.

It's worse than breathing underwater.

2010-09-25T17:39:00.002+08:00

Chest pain lasted for like one week.
Today it kinda got worst and i feel like a dying woman.
I'm experiencing some difficulty breathing, especially when i attempt to take a deep breath.
My body/health can't afford to be in this condition.
I don't know if it's a sign of overworking myself or what,
Promos just next week and i definitely can't forgo it.
Chances of promotion is low but that doesn't mean i'm giving up.

Given my stubborn nature, i'll bear with the pain unless it's becoming intolerable.
Seeing a doctor would be my last resort.

Presentiment.

2010-09-18T13:40:00.002+08:00

Tell me how.
I did an overall calculation for my new target set for promos.
And that score, which i think is the highest possible score i can attain,
does not hit the criteria for promotion, it was lesser than the mere 35points.
I sense this presentiment - Am i really not gonna promote to JC2?
The sudden sense of FEAR strucked me.
I think i can't feel optimistic at this moment.

Bye i'm going off to mug.
(Because i know this is the only way to salvage myself)

Did holiday just begun?

2010-09-11T19:01:00.002+08:00

Zroom.
Time flies.
My so called "September Holiday" is coming to an end.
Oh whatever - maybe it's really not meant to be a holiday.
It's never too late for anything to start.

Hmm.

STEPHANIE'S BEEN A GOOD GIRL TODAY :D

I'd say that day isn't totally an unproductive day.
Did a massive clear up for my mum.
Yes serious, i didn't mistype, i really meant my mum!
She has this compulsive buying problem/habit.
(i don't call it disorder cos i don't think she needs a psychologist!)
She likes to buy a lot of things and stores them secretly..
Last year, i uncovered her "treasure troves" and rummaged through them.
To my horror, i discovered aplenty of expired goodies!
My goodness. Cosmetics, skincare products, toiletries and even food!
It's like money thrown down the river. *heartaches*
So every few months i conduct my secret checks on her "troves" and release the goodies to the kitchen and vanity table for use before they expire and become trash.
Hmm.
This is a list of what i cleared - expired goods:

A moisturizing Facial mask
Pack of 10 chupa chups
A tin of prunes
Another bag of prunes

Phew this is not considered a lot..

On a brighter side, goods saved:

Kopiko candies
Merci chocolate selections! (LUCKY ME!)
Instant nutritious soy bean powder
20 packs of seaweed
Green pea snacks
2 boxes of Dewberry biscuits
2 giant packs of Old town white coffee powder
+++++

I'm not sure if she's gonna be mad if she finds her hidden goodies missing.
But i'm absolutely sure that i did the right thing (((:
As an H2 economics student, Scarce resources should not be gone to waste!

YOU KNOW, PROMOS ARE COMING.
Driving nearer each day- 16 more days as from now.
I know i can't afford to spend time blogging at this point of time,
but my blog serves as a platform not just for me to share my thoughts with the world,
it's like a diary where i reflect about myself and my life.
To some extent, blogging is form of meditation for me.
I mean, what's the point of life with you immerse yourself in work and have no life?
If blogging makes you feel better, then why hesitate?

And something which i realized,
Blogging allows me to improve on my English. Like really.
Basically because i'm persistent to using proper english grammar and structuring.
I dislike shortforms and i suck pretty much at Singlish!
(but i guess i'm picking them up well to keep up with the times?)
Singlish, or to be exact, Singapore Colloquial English, is really bringing our standards of English down. Hands down, i'm quite certain that i'm on the winning end of the debate :DDD
It really irks me when i hear lecturers speaking with "alien pronunciations".
Surely you get what i mean.
A little bit of Singlish in informal communications is acceptable, just don't let it become a habitual language or else it's really gonna affect you in the long run.
Okay enough of these stupid rantings.
I'm in support of the "Speak Good English Movement".

Back to the serious mood..
Well today i initially planned to "chiong" my work.
Quite unfortunately, it was an attempt failed D:
I just didn't know where to start.
Nonetheless, i know my focus will be on these areas:
1. Geography - Population & Urban Issues (`cos there's like so much to rmb!)
2. General Paper - Brush up on essay writing techniques :)
3. Math - Practice qns! (It's a subject that really requires practice.)
4. Econs - Get my concepts right. (Or else nothing can save me!)
Okay honestly, how am i gonna focus when there's so much to do?!
Sorry but i'm neglecting Chemistry a bit since it's H1.

Ohwells, this post is long enough. Shall end here.

Before i sign off,

[p/s: Pardon me for being a self-absorbed blogger.]

Freeze.

2010-09-02T21:31:00.004+08:00

I'm not a frequent blogger.
Ooh and i just realized my twitter widget is working again now!
(like after 3months of their technical probs.. oh well.)

I've been losing those radiance which i used to have on my face.
I guess the reason is probably the heavy workload and lack of sleep from school D:
I miss those compliments about my rosy pink cheeks.
Now people still comment that my complexion ain't bad, but i'm turning pale.

Well my state of mind is pretty clear now.
I have set clear targets set for myself, for promotion to JC2 hopefully.
You must be thinking how the hell i can remain optimistic with my current shitty results?
Here you go.

No matter how tough it may seem, i'm gonna press on.
Because i made the decision to come in here.
And how - my skin?
I'm gonna work doubly hard i guess - heavy revision & skincare regime, at the same time.
[You know i'm a superwoman :D ]

Something that really set me thinking..
Hmm this was part of the convo.
"Wow he's really smart."
"No, actually he isn't. He's just very hardworking. :D"
Sometimes i really wonder -
Do you really necessarily need to be smart at birth to succeed in life?
Shhhhh.
You have your own answer.
Now keep it to yourself and see what you can do.

Well today, i didn't want to waste my time online.
And so i went surfing the net and i went back to one favourite site of mine when i was mugging last year - Sparknotes! :D
It was a great reference for me last year.
And it's still great.
Check it out schooling kids, it's gonna help.
At least a little.

Before i sign off,
i would like to thank those who have been reading.
I'm an infrequent blogger and i guess i'm gonna keep this blog frozen - no updates for now.
I'll be back blogging whenever i feel like it.
My twitter *might* still be active, so do not be surprised if you see my feeds!
:D

FOOD PORN ♥

2010-08-09T17:14:00.001+08:00

♥I found a new love - legal, healthy PORN.

FOOD PORN :DDDDD

I hope i didn't scare you.

Food porn, to me, is like an amalgamation of visual arts and culinary arts.
It's amazing how food can get.
These pictures of tantalizing foodies literally brighten your day up.
And there's absolutely no doubt desserts look better! ^^

ENJOY THE FOOD PORN I'VE DISCOVERED OVER THE NET!
Btw, these are only parfaits and pies.. Too good to be true!
*Caution: At the same time they make you go hungry by perking your appetites.. :X

Happy Birthday Singapore! :D

2010-08-09T00:41:00.003+08:00

Well i can only find time on weekends to blog, but i'm just lazy.

There's a lot of work waiting for me to touch on for this National Day holiday.
But nonetheless,

HAPPY 45th BIRTHDAY TO SINGAPORE
&
HAPPY 44th BIRTHDAY TO DADDY! ^^

Hmm.. And 2 more days to youknowwhatspecialday :D

July, a month of ups and downs.

2010-08-01T00:50:00.009+08:00

FINALLY, A LONG POST.

I know i'm an irregular blogger who rarely updates her blog.
Well i must say i don't really blog about very meaningful stuffs,
with some even being irrelevant to my life.

Currently i'm spending less time online.
I think the reason's pretty obvious.
I'm gonna devote more time to school and replenish the sleep i need.
School works are like piling up already.
Just as i thought about closing the blog,
I went to take a look at my blog's readership and traffic statistics and got stunned by it.
[Click on the pic to see the actual view.]96 readers for the month of June & 105 unique visitors from 30June to 25July.
Saudi Arabia + Canada + Spain = COOLIOS! O.O
I am certainly impressed with the traffic analytics of my readership because i blog crap, materials that perhaps help some to kill boredom temporary.
I don't really who are those who are reading my blog.
But i hope my blog posts keep you readers entertained (:

Well, coming back to blogging, i think July's been a busy month for me.
An exceptional one, i would say.
I've adapted to life without my beloved grandma because i know i've gotta keep going on.
She will always be in my heart even though i can't sense her presence.
My family retrieved her tablet home on the seventh this month,
and i pray to her when i feel that there's a need to. (lecture tests etc)
We've detached and discarded her bed frame and mattress cos it's old.
Now i've moved into her room with Aunt Fenny :)
I haven't been sleeping well - i guess i haven't gotten used to it.
Well it's gonna take some time.

School's becoming a little more pressurizing cos i end school later due to the new timetable.
That means i have to chiong my work really late at night, feeling exhausted.
The next morning i've gotta climb our from my comfy mattress with my tired eyes.
And this routine goes on and on.
Hence my weekends are loved ♥
Lecture tests are coming up and PW's getting more frustrating.
Rushing last minute work and revision isn't healthy.
But i shouldn't be ranting cos all of us are feeling/doing the same.
Ganbatte! :D

July 24: PL's thanksgiving and homecoming
Well i was a little disappointed with the class's attendance.
7 turned up and only 5 went on stage to receive the scroll.
Though there are other classes with fewer attendees, it was still somehow pathetic.
The worst thing was that Mr Lyndon Lim was away in the States! How sad D:
Camwhored around the school though.
Old memories + seeing old friends = Reminiscence ♥
Somehow i wish time could rewind.
Maybe i would have appreciated secondary school life a little bit more.

July 28: Relevé Dance concert
HAHAHA i wanted to sell the ticket off at a "black market price" cos it was a long day!
Extremely tired and econs test was on the next day.
But thank goodness i wasn't impulsive (:
The dancers were so good. The concert was great!
Impressed by the dance teachers.
It was a sensational performance put up - though the theatre could have been better?

July 31: WILL RUN 2010
Got a pretty auspicious runner tag number - 88.
Not too sure if i managed to hit 10km cos i lost count.
I'll feel so ashamed if i didn't.
Well if i did hit 11km, i'll give myself a treat :DDD
After all, it's commendable effort for one who can't even pass her NAPFA.
The whole experience was really funny!
Okay plus a little bit of paiseh-ness cos people kept cheering on.
Well i ran, walked, perspired, screamed and cheered! (:
Now i'm going a little voiceless and my legs feel as if they are breaking..
I can't imagine how it would have been if i went for Will Walk instead.
But the entire morning was worth it cos:
1A07 did a great job and clinched the overall top JC1 champion! ^^
Whoots! ♥
We rock big time - First we won SR picnic, then Top Arts class and now this.
So, what's next?

Shall end off with these photo memories, enjoy! :D
[I think most you can't see some of these pics on my FB profile cos they were restricted to only friends of the uploader? So now, enjoy viewing them here!]

^ Voting for the most caring teacher award. I voted 5 teachers :D

^ Camwhoring in the sheltering walls of PL after thanksgiving :D

^ Game activities of one of our class's PW group pilot test.

^ Hiao zha bors in action! Taken @Elijah's house.

^ Econs Mission X video-filming with plenty of plush toys :D

^ Geokting's birthday buffet at Sakae Sushi Kovan :D

^ One epic pic not to be forgotten - A7 's "千手观音"! :D

New wants.

[Last edited on 7th July.]

I'm not a materialistic girl.
But still, i have that little bit of desire for pretty things.
(If you're a frequent reader of my blog, you'll realize my wishlist revolves around the same goodies)

#1. Smart Heart Care Bear! :D
p/s: It's the one with an apple on it's tummy.

#2. BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin)
I know i can always get a Blackberry cover in pink! (:

#3. Pink Digital Camera
I don't really have a preference for brands.
I go for design.
I know Canon is good but the designs aren't nice.
[No picture]

#4. A new backpack
My Billabong one is about 2years old? And hmm it's a little too small.
Smth like one of these two will be good.

#5. Nude heels
I've been eyeing on them for like damn long.
Esp when i notice this female econs teacher (I think her name is Miss Stephanie smth?) walking around in nude heels @LT4 during lecture, the urge to get myself a pair came more sounding to me.

Got more to add on!
♥

♥ Katharine McPhee's songs!

2010-06-22T17:55:00.005+08:00

Katharine McPhee is really impressive ♥
Well i've to admit that i only noticed her like 3years ago when she sang "Over It".
I remembered it came to me as a shock to discover such soothing voice actually lost to Taylor Hicks in American Idol Season 5.
:O
Well she changed her style in her latest album, Unbroken.
I still love her songs. She used to be a sweetie, yeah.

Now, a sweetie grown up. And gone wild?
She's still gorgeous, but i just felt that she look much older..

Now i got hooked to her songs.

2010-06-20T15:46:00.004+08:00

LAZY.

Aren't holidays supposed to be like that?
I feel unhealthy.

I wish holidays could be extended for us to complete our homeworks.
Ironically i can't wait for school to start so i can workout soon.
Feel like running.

Food cravings that can't be helped.

2010-06-18T20:46:00.002+08:00

JC2 Band Farewell @ Aloha Changi was good :D
Though i felt it could have been better.

The best part was undoubtedly the 6hours of mahjong!
Hope all had fun.

Despite having the runs (probably from my overdose of milk),
I still feel like having good food.

Food cravings that can't be helped.

1. Cucumber salad (((((:
Chilled cucumbers are delighting, already.
I like it with vinaigrette or sour cream.

2. Seafood pasta
The scallop and asparagus pasta @ Marina Square's kopitiam was great.
Now the craving is back to haunt me.

3. Shrimp cocktail
Simple delight = pure pleasure ♥

4. Smoked salmon
I've ate like damn a lot of salmon sashimi and salmon sushis,
i've never tried this and i heard it's better.

5. KOI Bubble tea
Everyone's going gaga over this erm, milk tea, apparently.
What's with the unexplainable charm with this cup of bubble tea?

Still got lots more food stuck in my head but i'm again too lazy to blog.

Not ready to blog.

2010-06-11T23:57:00.002+08:00

Not ready to blog.
I can sense i need a little bit more time to get back to my cheerful self.
Grandma, i miss you dearly.
She might be gone but her spirit and memories will always be with us.
Every time i walk pass her room - i look in.
The feeling is indescribable.
The moment i touch her belongings, my tear duct misbehaves and flood my eyes in tears.

This blog might be going to a little dead for the time being.
I only want to keep the happy memories of my life here.

2010-06-01T16:18:00.002+08:00

My paternal grandma left us on 30th May 2010, 2345h.
God sent an angel to strip off her sufferings and brought her to heaven in peace.
It didn't come as a shock.
But i kinda didn't expect it to be so soon.
She died of gastric cancer.

Thanks for all the condolences and wishes from the kind people.
I really appreciated. (:
I'm currently feeling a lot better now.
Guess i cried enough on sunday and monday already.
Now i know i've to put my heart on my studies.
Got to know some results for MYE already. FLUNKED.
And cos i missed many lessons (or going to miss), i know i have lots of catching up to do..
Thank you my dear A7 peeps for updating me on what is going on in school.
(Geokting, Traci and Emily especially.)

Meanwhile, if you have any messages that are intended to reach me, text me as usual.
I'll be with my phone.
Thanks (:

With a heavy heart

2010-05-30T17:42:00.002+08:00

My heart feels extra heavy.
Maybe i should say it's extremely heavy.
I don't want to keep this to myself anymore.
My paternal grandma's leaving us soon.
Like very soon, and i'm uncertain how long more she's gonna press on.
But we're not reluctant to let her go.
Because we understand she's struggling with pain.
My heart hurts every time i enter her room and see her in pain, weak and unresponsive.
I can hardly walk out of her room with my eyes not red and teary.
Letting her go would strip all the pain from her.
Therefore, i'm very sorry to those who made dates out with me, and then cancelled.
For the time being, i'll like to spend my time being with her throughout the last few moments of her life. I sincerely appreciate your kind understandings, really.
♥

Currently i'm still pretty weak after my recovery from the heat injury.
I feel ultra giddy with my back aching. even though i had lots of rest.
Geokting told me it could be because of the weather.
Now i doubt so cos it's been with me for quite some day.
Perhaps it's the side effect of the medicines.
Not feeling good right now, so bye.

down with heat injury

2010-05-27T20:59:00.002+08:00

Down with heat injury (a minor kind of heatstroke) after class outing @ Sentosa.
I thought i kept myself hydrated enough already.
Plus i wasn't very active cos i knew my immune system is rather weak.
But apparently the sun was just too torturous D:

Now my legs are wobbly and my bones and muscles are aching.
Body temp going up up up and it makes me giddy.
Doctor's medicine doesn't seem to be working for me.
But the strangest thing is the emission of heat from my ears!
And i don't perspire like when i've a fever.
So weird. The feeling is very very awkward.

So currently the best thing is to sleep.
BUT,
After a comfy sleep, i become giddier and i can't walk straight.
It's one of my scariest encounter with my body cos i've never felt this weak.
D:

Something else is bugging me right now.
I'd say it's my utmost concern.
I don't feel quite comfortable blogging about it though.
You can come and ask me if you're concerned/curious about it.
I might just tell you if you're someone whom i can trust.
I wouldn't say that i really need a listening ear as i'm afraid i may get too emotional.

Conquered exams!

2010-05-21T23:56:00.001+08:00

Teehee.

FINALLY, MYEs ARE OVER! :D

I'm totally over the moon, literally on cloud nine.
(Even though i flunked all the papers.. -.-)
The time i've been waiting for..
SAY BYEBYE TO EXAMS AND HELLO TO GSS (:

No updates during MYEs period!

2010-05-16T20:59:00.005+08:00

I highly doubt i've the time to blog during the MYE period.
Therefore, no updates this week!

ON HIATUS : 17-21 MAY

Stephanie's MYE timetable as follows:
( My combination grants me 1subject per day, just nice! :D )
Monday 17May - H1 General Paper
Tuesday 18May - H2 Geography
Wednesday 19May - H2 Economics
Thursday 20May - H2 Mathematics
Friday 21May - H1 Chemistry

(:

The most horrible feeling - falling sick.

2010-05-14T22:44:00.003+08:00

I HATE TO FALL SICK D:

Seriously, how can i fall sick at this point of time?!
Okay now i'm having a slight flu, slight cough, minor sore throat, migraine and gastric.
Actually falling sick seem quite worth it if it could help me shed some fats.
But coming to think about it again, i don't think that's very healthy.
Feeling rather weak now, horrible :X

No. 1:
My gastric problem kinda got worse this month.
It acts up like almost everyday in school recently. As and when it likes.

I'm finishing my gastric pills already and Geokting says it's not good relying on it.
Hmm but what can i do? I eat like normal; i haven't been skipping meals.
The worse thing is that sometimes i get it after meals, which is ironic.
I refuse to see doctor cos i don't want to go for hell-expensive medical check-ups.
So mafan.
And the worst thing is, I'm afraid it's stomach ulcer.
I just hope i'm just suspecting too much :)

No. 2:
Migraines bugged me for a week already.
I thought it was just not enough sleep or smth.
Now i think it doesn't seem so.
But what can i do?
I move on with life like usual :D
Just keep myself happy.

No. 3:
Flu cough sorethroat.
These 3 always come as a package. (at least for me!)
At first i thought i just had sensitive nose.
Until these complements started reacting in my body.
D:
Shall take cough medicine to make sure i'm fine for MYEs (:

Meanwhile, i'm still.. Hmm.
Embarking on weight loss.
17kg, here i come! ^^
Shed you kgs one by one!
I hope i could lose weight eating like them:

A disappointed daughter,

2010-05-09T23:07:00.001+08:00

Today is Mothers' Day (:
A special day for honoring Mothers through out the world.
We wouldn't be here without our mothers.
But let me tell you why this year isn't a very nice Mothers' Day.

Yesterday night i made mummy try my very lovely Oreo pie.
It was damn good. Even my aunt says so.
Erm. But apparently mum.., she wasn't very appreciative.
It was like as if i forced her to eat it.
These are words from a very disappointed daughter.
Tell me, can i not be disappointed. D:
At least now i know i better not waste my time to bake for her next year.
Like seriously.
My efforts - gone to waste?

Went supermarket to source for the ingredients after a tired day from school.
Carried those heavy grocery bags home.
Then spent time making the pie for her.
Tedious washing up those greasy equipments and containers.

If i haven't been sweet enough, i would have just gotten a cake from the pastry shop.
That same amount of money i could have gotten a well designed,
professionally baked cake - of less love & warmth of course.

Maybe i shouldn't be ranting unhappy stuffs here.
Anyway i hardly do it.
I usually don't blog when i had a bad day because i want to keep this blog filled with memories of my happier times and significant moments that are worth remembering.

Some reflections here.
Looking from a brighter side,
I know we all don't like our mums' constant nags.
But bear in mind something:
They wouldn't have cared less if we weren't their children.
They could have aborted us.
But the fact that they were willing to endure that 10months of pain and labour shows how much we're loved.
Maybe they don't say, "I love you" to us.
But deep in their hearts, they most probably do.
With that, i shall sign off here.

OREO PIE FOR MOTHERS' DAY! WHEE ^^

2010-05-07T23:52:00.002+08:00

YAY!

MOTHERS' DAY THIS SUNDAY.

Made Oreo Pie with Peiying and her 19year-old aunt, Hui Sian. (:
HAHAH thank goodness i didn't mess up Aunty Jane's kitchen.
No eggs nor flour required.
Best of all, no baking is required! Just refrigerate it (:
We had fun camwhoring too!
(more pics on fb.)

Here's a picture of the prettier pie, by Peiying & Huisian.

Just look at how satisfied we are with our pies! :D

Oh and my pie is still in the refrigerator.
Shall cut it and serve them tmr! (:

Meanwhile i'm pretty tired.
I think i need to replenish sleep this weekend.
I believe sleep and water are essential for good baby-like skin!
Goodnight world.

Post

2010-05-06T21:29:00.003+08:00

Submitted my PI this morning. (like finally!)
Re-edited last night and ended up with a seemingly impossible 500 words (:
Thank goodness the impossible was made possible.
Further thanks to fabulous Lilin for helping me print 20sides of coloured pages!
Colour ink cartridges are hell-expensive i know!
I got a little unhappy cos she rejected my money.
Debated over the money issue and Geokting felt it was funny.
Her selflessness is to be admired. Like seriously.
Thinking about it, isn't it a rare virtue this era?
Anyway, I was so melted. ♥
I told her i would like to express my thanks by treating her lunch/dinner someday.

Now about my other money issues.
School collecting lots of money for the printing of our notes etc.
I don't want to withdraw any more money from the ATM anymore.
My account has too little $$ already!! D:
(Well, Elijah was stunned when he saw my bank account balance.)
This is leading to a conclusion that..
OMG I'VE BEEN REALLY SPLURGING!
On things that i don't exactly i need that much.

1.Tons of unproductive studying sessions.
Spent money eating non-stop and work still undone -.-
Plus, hardly any visible improvement on my school work.
I'm really not working hard enough.

2. Beauty is the cause of money woes.
I spent near 30 big bucks buying just facial masks.
All the more i shouldn't mention about other products.
Fyi, i still want to buy that fruity moisturizing gel lotion i've been eyeing for months.
(it'll probably cost me around 22bucks?)
Now, i've gotta put that aside.
No time to go shopping anyway.

3. Lunching in-between or after school.
Canteen closes at 2.
No offence but the cafes sell really unhealthy food that you'll easily get sick of.
Other than Selegie tauhuay, bubble tea and that chicken rice outside sch,
there's really nothing much you'd want to eat within walking distance.
Then we take a bus to Kovan or Hougang mall for lunch.
Wasting invisible money on bus trips and visible money on foodies!
Argh. Food literally burn a hole in my pockets.

I WISHED MONEY DROPPED FROM SKIES.

School's been really busy.
But i haven't forgot about Mothers' Day (:
I have to admit i haven't been very helpful at home.
Constantly giving mum trouble waking me up in the morning.
Talking back while getting irritated by youknowwho's nags.
My stress control haven't been too good either.
I've been frowning quite a bit recently.
The cheerful me seemed to drift away from me a little.
Little noise/things irritate me and i do flare up once in a while.
As i'm a clean-freak, i scream back at my mum for the slightest stains/dirt/
grease found on my possessions.
But all had not been done on purpose.
I thank her for putting up with the behaviours from my imperfect nature.
This year, i feel that there is no point buying useless stuffs.
Why not i bake her something delighting?
These meringues look good ^^

and i hope this image is self-explanatory :DDD

SO,

BAKING ANYONE? (:

(I can't guarantee that this won't be another empty promise again..)

In need of motivation; I'm pushing myself forward.

2010-05-02T16:47:00.003+08:00

Changed blogskin last night.
I got super sick of the previous one.

Woke up at about 11am this morning with my stomach feeling weird.
But it was so much better than last night when the gastric acted up.
I usually take 1 antacid tablet but last night i took 2 instead cos 1 was too mild.
Now my stomach still feel strange but i'm totally ignoring it.
I'm eating, talking and doing work like normal :D
Thank you to those who've showed their concern for me through sms & msn.
I really appreciated (:

Putting that aside,
I've realized i haven't been putting effort into my work.
I'm not trying hard enough, evident from my results.
So far it seems like my best subject is apparently.. General Paper.
Strange eh?
Every friday, i'll tell myself to complete my homework on the weekend.
But then, weekends are the only times i could replenish my sleep.
And i simply indulge in sleep like nobody's business.
And not to forget the constant urge to shop. (cos i haven't been going shopping!)
I sound hopeless but i'm not giving up.

Band. Last practice as a whole on friday cohort.
JC2s have officially stepped down. How sad.
Will miss those trainings and laughters we had.
Joining the band was a new page of my life.
Holding the secretary post of SRJC Symphonic Band marks a new chapter.
The post came like a total surprise.
I received it feeling unprepared, especially because i have no prior experience in band.
I know i'm rather timid. But why fear situations around me?
Now, i'm glad to say that i'm feeling comfortable there (:
A new problem arise because my Euphonium section's left with me & qianling.
Both of us have no background and we're kinda struggling.
BUT, we're pressing on!
No matter how tough it's gonna be, WE'RE GONNA GANBATTE! :D

加油 Euphonium! :D

going crazy for masks

2010-04-26T00:58:00.003+08:00

Initially wanted to change the blogskin.
But i realized i'm not in the mood to.
Well the next time when i have the time to manage this blog will be sometime later.

Hmm. I'm intending to keep this blog alive but i don't have the time to.
D:

Life's been pretty different in JC.
I spend more than half my day there every school day.
It kinda changed my life - in both good & bad ways.
Well i guess i'm adapting well though i feel alot more tired than my secondary days.
I don't wish to elaborate cos it'll just take me forever to vomit them out.
But i'm still that perfectionist.
That very ladylike vainpot.
Teehee and i'm happy to share my current crave - Facial masks! :D
Omg i tell you they are truly the bomb after every tired day.
Trust me, even if you can't see any improvement in your complexion, you'll a lot feel better. Maybe it's a psychological thing.
Stocked up with those crazily-tempting packaged masks (:
From hydrating range to fancy flavours like red wine etc.
I heard there's even crazier ones like cherry chocolate, japanese sake and even champagne?

I'm tired. Shall end here. *yawns*

what a boring way to start april

2010-04-02T22:31:00.003+08:00

I didn't have a fruitful good friday and i didn't get fooled on April Fools'.
Hence there isn't a need to blog about it.
Life's way too boring for me.

Embarking on my journey of losing weight.
Yes weight=fats depending how you want to call it.
Lost an insignificant 4kg in 3months or so.
I look the same, not any slimmer.
Seriously, i don't feel/sense/see any difference on myself!
Maybe the gravity pull became lesser as a result from tectonic movements?
Anyway i'm still far off from my desired weight- 14kg away for now.

NOW.. One reason why i can't possibly slim down fast.
Let the pictures do the elaboration.

In the fridge:

On kitchen snacks shelf:

Those on my study table:

From my grocery shopping today:

Also from my grocery trip:
My new additions to my SR locker(which already has "Hello Panda" biscuits inside):

Trust me. These stuffs will get cleared within a month.
But i will share them with people and "try" to control my diet.

Talk about losing weight. Hmm..

My attempt to revive this dead blog!

2010-03-20T20:28:00.006+08:00

This blog had been very dead since i started school.
Basically because i'm too lazy to update.

Actually I'm not that free to blog now.
(FYI, I haven't started on my holiday hw yet!)
But this blog post has been in my blog draft since february..
Basically i kept adding on but didn't publish it out.

Hmm.
If you've asked me how school's been for me,
I would have said it was fine/fun/enjoyable but workload's heavy.

My subject combination?
H2 Math, Geography & Economics.
H1 Chemistry, General paper & Project work.
Dropped chinese because the teacher disallowed me to.
Math looks similar to sec school's but when you do it, it's a lot more difficult.
Geography is nice because i like to study about things around us.
But it isn't easy to score. Heard lots of people died at geog.
Economics is hard hard hard. I'm gonna shop harder to relate my life to this subject man.
Chemistry - what more can i say about it? Mole concept's killing me.
General paper & Project work are compulsory subjects.
Passed GP diagnostic test (phew!) :D
Both subjects are equally crucial. Shall work doubly hard.

Ever since school started, i realized i have alot of things i want/need.

1. An Euphonium notebook

Joined band for 1 month and everyone's like shocked over this fact.
Like "Wow our ex-AVA president's joined the Symphonic Band?!".
Ain't no miracle. No joke. But well, i still can't play a single piece.
But my progress ain't bad because i'm starting from scratch.
And i don't have a musical background.
I'm pretty determined in everything i do.
The moment i joined, i know i won't quit in the midst of it.
I'll put my heart and soul into it as the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect".
Will practice extra hard for the sake of SYF 2011.
Probably need an euphonium notebook to take down the fingerings and notations.
:D

2. A pink handphone cover/pouch

(maybe smth like this. this pic's ugly i know.)
I'm clumsy. I know.
I kept dropping my precious phone.
I think it is gonna spoil real soon.
There are some "symptoms" already.
(Eg. screen blackout and faulty lightings etc.)
Plus not to mention those unsightly scratches on this poor phone.
The colour of the cover is tarnishing.

Okay there's more to add on.
Too lazy to add them now. Shall add them in sometime later.

Just returned from SR Band Camp (:
It was fun, a lot better than expected.
If you know me well, you'd know that i dread camps.
But really, this is fun, unlike the usuals.
There's a lot more interaction with the other band members.
Bondings fostered, new friendships are forged at the same time :D
Everything had been great with the exceptions of my gastric problems and the horrible backache i suffered from sleeping on the ground.

Back to chiong homework now!
Will add on when i've the time ♥

I miss schooling.

2010-01-23T22:07:00.005+08:00

Goodness me.
I actually bothered to blog while i'm still running a fever.
My reason for blogging today:
I'm school-sick. (Is there such a word?)
But you get what i mean - I MISS GOING TO SCHOOL.
I suddenly had this feeling after reading Ziai's blog.
Oh gosh i could go blind reading her posts - Black background with bright red fonts!
She misses school and misses me too! :D

"how i miss stephanie loo and her hugs and everything :))
how i miss talking to stephanie, isabel, miiwei, cherlyn, jesslyn about idols"

It really feels weird to be at home during school hours these days.
(when i'm not working.)
Moreover, i live just beside the school.
When time hits 2pm (dismissal time),
I'll see or sometimes hear PL-lites rushing out of school in excitement.
Then i start to realize these juniors are the shadows of us, graduates.

Remembering the days in school.

Do you remember these days?

When:

PL lites rush down to the assembly area as the match starts?
The school song is played on Mondays but apparently nobody sings?
Tons of PL lites forgetting to wear their red ties on Monday and goes around asking?
PL lites forget to bring their test-tubes and go around the level to borrow?
Countless of you borrowing pads from me in times of "crisis"?
We doodled across the whiteboard and plead the teachers not to erase them?
You people cheered for me, "Champion, champion!", whenever the teacher needed technical help?
Me & Neoyun had our beauty regimes in class and beauty chats almost everyday?
Neoyun brought the "Zhng"(pimping crystals) trend to the class?
Ziai go crazy over Rachel Liang Wenyin in class?
Ziai and I "melt" together in class?
Sheryl Tan stop you naughty students from eating in class?
Me & Isabel go crazy over hongkong celebrities?
I say "Simultaneous" and Leah Lum gives that strange face?
Miiwei & I were crazily active during HCL's group competitions?
MISS WONG draws an eye with eye lashes on the board which says "LOOK" to get our attention during A math?
Everyone begin pulling their socks during our surprise spot checks?
Clarice & I getting stomachaches during Mrs Jacob's english lessons because we get nervous over her traumatizing lessons?
Sam ang with her face looking like a "Cooked Prawn"?
Sheryl Tan & I quarreled almost everyday?
Sheryl Tan got an ikan bili stuck in her throat and caught everyone's attention?
All of us complain about how bad and unhygienic the canteen food is?
You sweethearts wishing me "Happy Birthday" at 12am via sms and in the morning in class on the first day of PRELIMS? It was real sweet:)
Plus something else that i'll never forget:

Mr Lim & you lovely 4B1-ians ran with me for 2.4KM RUN for NAPFA upon knowing that i've already missed the passing time on my first attempt. Another bunch of you cheered for me and encouraged me when i cried because of my gastric problem.
Those encouragements gave me the courage to re-run my 2.4.
And i re-took the test 6times. I remember them clearly.
You people took turns to run with me in all my 6 attempts.
Although unfortunately i still failed all 6 attempts (OMG I'm like a failure man. So disgracing.), I must thank all of you who were my sunshine during the downpours.

We vowed that this will be our class icon. But didn't do so in the end.
In our memory lane:

With the artist:

I'm feeling giddy. Going back to rest now.

Post

2010-01-01T18:02:00.002+08:00

New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past,
and more importantly, forward to the coming year.

It's the first day of 2010,
and it's time to reflect on the changes i want.
I'm welcoming 2010 with my awesome New Year Resolutions.

1. Spending more time with family & friends.
Well, this may sound like your old-fashioned "standard" resolution.
In 2009, i've spent at least 3/5 of my life in school.
CCAs, Meetings, School competitions, Special Events, Seminars etc.
I guess all student leaders of PL have sacrifice a whole lot of time
and contributed lots of efforts to this learning environment.
Meanwhile, as some of you might know, my grandma is still hospitalized.
She can only return home with us when her condition is stabilized.
Hopefully she can be discharged early and i'd love to spend more time with her ♥

2. Amazing Os results.
I'm aiming high.
And i'm dreading for the release.
I want to score well.
God bless.

3. Be blessed with better health.
There one thing that's has never left my wishlist.
And that is, TO SLIM DOWN.
Well losing weight is not the best thing on earth.
Whilst trying to shed some fats, one should never neglect her health.
Having a balanced diet is important.

Remember what i tried in June 2009? The Grapefruit Diet.
I could have died from it.
"It could put you at risk for nausea, dizziness, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies that could cause problems with hair loss, your nervous system, immune system and bones.
The diet is considered unhealthy and potentially dangerous."
Phew i quit this diet within a week.

4. Picking up a foreign language.
This has always been something i wanted to do since primary school.
But the language of my interest changed gradually with time.
In primary sch: I wanted to learn FRENCH. (but for what? -.-)
When i turned 14: JAPANESE (this period i was totally obsessed with Japanese drama)
NOW: I'm greedy. I'm not a language talent but i want to learn all these,

Japanese / Korean
Malay
Cantonese (picking up this dialect for my HK dramas!)
Brush up on my half-bucket of Hokkien
(I'm proud of my heritage!)

5. Self-improvements.

Manage my time better.
Be more organized.
Be more independent & responsible.
Socialize more.
Reduce stress & control my emotions better.

6. Blessing the community: Do volunteery work & help the less-fortunate.
Sound like an huge near-impossible mission isn't it?
It's definitely not.
Everytime i go for CIP trips, the people i helped left me lots of memories.
They are journeys of my very own self-discovery.
We always think that god is unfair and sometimes, life sucks.
But when you help the less-fortunate, you realize there are lots of people
who endure more hardships and live a tough life.
We people here are really too fortunate already.

7. Relaxing my mind & soul.
This basically means pampering myself without materialistic needs.
Having plenty of beauty sleeps,
Immersing myself in the luxury of nature
& Stripping away all fatigues.

I want to live 2010 well.

lack of updates

2009-12-29T20:10:00.004+08:00

HEY SORRY PEEPS.
I seriously have no time to update.
Visiting my grandma everyday if possible, i just keep digging for time yeah.
Thanks for all the wishes and regards.
The doctor has not confirmed with us when she can get discharged.
But i guess it's probably gonna be in the first week of 2010.

Hmm and that means no good food and countdown with us this year.

Hope 2010's gonna be a great year for new beginnings :D

Untitled.

2009-12-17T20:55:00.003+08:00

Too lazy to blog these days. Will blog on friday i guess.
Busy with work and home stuffs.
Fyi, i haven't exactly unpack my luggage!
Only took out the foodies, souvenirs and soiled clothes.

Travel pics uploaded on facebook alr.
Blogging about it on friday together with my X'mas wishlist.
Please, don't bother looking at the wishlist on my sidebar.
I rarely even update it..

Anyway, i think i'm kinda obsessed with Nail polishes.
I bought like more than a dozen of them from Ipoh & Genting.
Giving away 10 or so though.
My new love - holographic nail lacquers!
This one will most probably be on my wishlist this friday:
OPI - DS Sapphire #010

& these gorgeous nails!
Seems like Ris Low brought the "leopard preens" trend around.

Gorgeous right? :DDD

I have chio nails and you don't! - for now.
1 layer of this very thin layer of holographic gloss.

Gonna remove the lacquer and trim my nails tonight!
Will put on a new layer for Christmas :D

Miss me; Miss me not.

2009-12-04T15:41:00.005+08:00

p/s: You may still text or call me at appropriate times.
I'm diverting my calls and messages to the phone i'm bringing along.
I'll update by tweeting though Sgbeat if it works with my auto-roam overseas.

Flying tonight, at about 9pm or so.
Really quite excited.
I can't wait for the shopping galore! :D
Packed lots of stuff. I'm afraid i'll overload though.
And i'm carrying all these by myself D:

Will get some goodies back for my close friends & family,
plus those whom i've messaged.
But that's provided i've sufficient money.
So better not have high hopes ;)

Haven't really blogged about my holiday life, i realized.
Other than Cambridge Dinner.
I made a few accessories for my blogshop's new post.
(It's gonna be up in late December)
At the same time i made a necklace for my Malaysia trip.
It isn't stunning.
I just kept it simple, with crystals embellishments.

Hmm.
And yes i recently bought a new yoga mat :D
If you've been observant,
the yoga mat under my "Wishlist" column is slashed off.
It's warm, chinesy rosy pink.
I kinda like it better than the usual dark pink.
Well i did use it a little.
Practiced elementary yoga for about 2 days?
I mean elementary yoga - like stretches.
Hmm. It makes you more flexible :)

growing up

2009-12-01T21:34:00.007+08:00

Like To Kill A Mockingbird (TKAM),
I feel as if i'm in Jem's shoes.
I really hate the series of growing up.

1. Seeing the ugly facts in life.
Life is never fair, and can never be fair. I learnt that.
Seriously, there are lots of ugly people in life.
Ugly, not in terms of physical looks, i'm referring to the inner spiritual body.

2. When I start to see childish/immature people,
i get annoyed by their kiddy mindsets, stupid questions
& their disability to see things from my angle.
It makes me think: Why are they just so insensible?

3. Dishonesty and biasness really pisses me off.
I'm proud to say i'm upright.
I hate it when people cheat.

4. Pondering over my choices when i have to make decisions.
Well this suck cos that decision can change a lot of things.
I start to see things from a bird's eye view.

5. When my parents still treat me like a kid..
I dislike it cos i don't want to be reliant on others.
I've learnt to be independent and i know my limits.

6. I have a pretty different mindset from other youngsters.
Though many of us are in the same age range,
I think very differently from most of you.
Well i admit sometimes i'm a little illogical,
but sometimes i think more maturely than adults.

7. Don't call me a Guaikia.
I have my temperamental times too.

;)

Cambridge dinner a.k.a Prom

2009-11-29T19:28:00.009+08:00

Hmm okay i shall blog about my Cambridge Dinner (PL's prom) before the memories fade off.
My make-up was erm,
Black smoky eyes with gold shimmers (fake lashes added),
Light blusher because i have rosy cheeks,
And Nude-coloured lipgloss.
:D
Overall it was quite enjoyable.
The programme didn't seem fun enough though.
And apparently we wasted money on our masks.
Yes, our theme was "Masquerade", but we merely wore it for 5mins.
The food was quite nice. But i'll appreciate if the serving was larger.

7 Courses as follows:
1. 2 Poached Drunken Prawns (w/Wolfberries & Angelica)
2. Double-boiled Baby Abalone Soup
(w/Chinese Cabbage & Black Mushrooms)
The soup was awesome. Super yum! :)))
3. Steam Sea Bass (Hongkong style)
4. Sauteed Scallop in Black Bean Sauce (w/Veggies)
5. Deep-fried Pi-pa Chicken
6. Stewed Ee-fu Noodles
7. Chilled Cream of Mango Sago (w/Pomelo sacs)

The Double-boiled Baby Abalone Soup was yum!
Seriously awesome, amazing soup! :D

Everyone was camwhoring.
Pictures galore! :D
(Self shots first, pardon me.)

Credits to Neoyun for just the first 2 shots of me.
BRIGHT BRIGHT FLASH.

The flash abit too close to my face eh?

Btw, my rose stalk was pulled out of our table decoration! :S

Miiwei sneakly took this shot. Good shot cos you can see the table deco (:
And yes, it's me in the background! (plus NEOYUN busy taking pics!)

I really have too many pics. I have almost 90pics in my camera.
I picked some to upload here :D

Me & Gunawan!

Awesome partner NEOYUN!

We supposedly wanted to take this in ascending height order. But.. ?

Me & Yungping!

The whole dinner ended quite late. Past 11pm.
HAHAHA.

Anyway, i've bought my yoga mat already!
YAY. The usual pink one is not nice,
so i bought warm rosy pink instead.
The colour tone was more of red.
Yeah so i'm gonna pick up elementary yoga soon.
But that's if i have the time.

Changing blogskin soon.

2009-11-25T21:28:00.006+08:00

☺I'M GONNA CHANGE MY BLOGSKIN, AGAIN.

So sick of this already.
Probably making a customized one specially for & by myself.
Will do so when i've the time, hopefully this week (:

❧

Meanwhile i'm waiting for more Cambridge Dinner pics surfacing on facebook before i blog about it.
Tired, gonna eat and sleep soon.

Just so you (don't) know.

2009-11-22T22:17:00.002+08:00

JUST SO YOU (DON'T) KNOW.

I was surfing the net and came across "The Purse Forum",
And there was this discussion about "How to pronounce Bebe?"

"Is Bebe pronounced "Bee Bee," or "Bay Bay?" Or "Beh Beh?"

I actually have NO idea, and would like to know, haha. And it means "baby," but in what language?"

I remembered during one of our mass revision sessions,
Xiaowei and I were arguing the pronunciation of this Boutique brand "BEBE".
Me: Bee-Bee what.
XW: I thought it's Bay-bay?
Now we can come to a conclusion :)

Straight from the Bebe website FAQ section...

How do you pronounce the name of your company? What does bebe mean?
It is pronounced "bee-bee". bebe was founded as a San Francisco boutique in 1976 by Manny Mashouf, the company's Chairman and Founder. The name bebe was selected because it represented the philosophy of the time ("to be or not to be") as well as other multilingual meanings including the Persian name for the queen in a deck of cards and the Turkish word for woman.

COOL FACT EH?

A thousand years since i last blogged.

2009-11-22T21:04:00.001+08:00

It's been a thousand years since i last blogged.
(Okay i know this is exaggerating!)
Life's been quite a bore this holidays.
Didn't expect it to be like this.
For the past few weeks i've either been shopping out all day,
tweeting, munching on great snacks or really, just doing NOTHING.
My last shopping trip was on Friday and that night i came down with a fever.
I feel that it was quite bad basically because i had flu, sore throat and cough too.
And that was my first day out in contact lenses!
I feel weird wearing it.
After being out for 5hours, the lenses started to dry.
It feels like having dreamy eyes, profuse blinking.
Overall it was rather uncomfortable,
and not worth my 45mins trying to push the lenses onto my pupils.

The hunt for job..
I had a wild goose chase.
Applied for many jobs but due to my overseas trip,
i cannot comply to many worktime.
I've got hired by Cotton On.
Awaiting call from management to sign the contract and get the schedule.
The store manager that interviewed me was a gentleman with charisma.
He's really nice :DDD

Isabel's BBQ party @ Sixth Avenue! :DDD
We had fun bbq-ing in the rain with umbrellas!
And i'm serious. I held the umbrella to shield our food instead of myself!
Oh i should never forget to mention Isabel has a chio mum! :)))
Damn hot. She was is in chio pink tube dress!
Great time spent afterall.

And..
I just did my nails! :)
Something simple cos tmr is my farewell party.
I don't want the ball games etc to spoil my glossed nails.

Officially on hiatus! will be back on 12Nov.

2009-10-17T21:14:00.002+08:00

Mii Wei says this blog is dead.
Not exactly, but it's going to.

Till end of O levels.
Get my status updates on my twitter or plurk at the sidebar while i'm away.
(Updated thru SMSYO when i'm not online.)

This might be my last post before Os cos i want to concentrate on it.
In fact, i highly doubt i'll be coming online.
Maybe once in a blue moon.
FYI, I'm really not mugging.
Like not at all. I seem to sleep at least 1/3 my day.
I know this isn't the way.
I just hope i get the urge to study this week, starting from Monday.
I think i'll be putting my full effort to make studying productive.

Hmm.
Meanwhile, I've created a twitter account. (I know i'm slow.)
I created it to kinda "reserve" a better username before they all get taken up.
However, it seemed too late alr D:
All the nice names got taken up like at least half a year ago. *sigh*
My username seem a little weird with the underscore, but i don't really mind it.
Currently TweetSg isn't accepting anymore sign ups.
So now, i'm using SMSYO. (:
I've just activated and tried the system.
It's working really well :DDDDD
Now i can tweet or plurk anywhere!

On Wednesday, it was PL 93th Founders' Day.
May God continue to bless PL (:
Had an early dismissal after the concert.
Went Orchard Central and Centrepoint shopping with Peiying.
It was my first time going in to these 2 shopping malls.
I rarely shop this part of Somerset.
Explored both shopping centres. (Initially wanted to shop for prom, but no $$)
Saw stunning crystallized clutches from Robinsons.
Bling to the max. The price was bling too - $1000+.
Bagged home 3packets of cookies from Marks & Spencers.
They are really good. Finished the shortcake within hours.
The quality is definitely worth the price :)
Went Orchard Central to shop for accessories.
I love the way they designed the mall.
There were fantastic red sofas with coffee tables designated to every levels.
How thoughtful. We were tired from our shopping+walking.
Just nice to rest our feets and enjoy camwhoring :DDD
Pictures uploaded on facebook.

Friday was my last day on the grounds of PL.
Will take more pictures and keep those memories after my last paper.
Friendships forged will not end here.
Thoughtful teachers will not be forgotten too!
Keep in touch and may we grow up to be pretty young ladies (:
Love you all and wishing everyone all the best.

Sympatizing Ris Low

2009-10-10T20:55:00.001+08:00

There's this thing that many is doing around.
Slamming heavily on our dethroned Miss Singapore World 2009, Miss Ris Low.
I don't really see the reason why people do that for. What's the point?
Well my view is that i sympathize with her current position.
She has given up her crown but yet she's still heavily slammed at.

Ris and her poorly spoken English on youtube.
Perhaps her English isn't fluent or up to Netizens' standard.
But people always improve.
It's tough for a student to cope with the stress from media, the bipolar disorder and her studies.
I think she's very courageous,
she's extremely brave to be optimistic despite facing the very judgemental Singaporeans,
and being very positive/confident about her future.

And about her credit card fraud..
She's suffering from Bipolar disorder. It's not something we can understand.
She can't control herself from it.
There must be why the court didn't get her imprisoned.
She wasn't mentally well and she deserves the chance to turn a leaf.
Btw, I'm a supporter of the Yellow Ribbon Project in Sg.

I think Singaporeans should change their views on Ris Low.
She's young and she has a long way to her future.
Forget about the unsightly incidents in the past and leave her alone.
I wish her all the best.

Decided to update (:

2009-09-24T22:05:00.004+08:00

I think i need this, i really do.

Will be going on a hiatus in a week or so.

Shall give you a brief update of my life (:

11August was my big day.
I forgot how my cake looked like.
All i remembered was that I turned sixteen on my first day of prelims.
Mr lim said it was a "great" way to start my prelims.
Well i couldn't celebrate, party or play - had to mug D:
I must said i wasn't much prepared.
And even so, the results have shown that my efforts were just - not enough.
I won't be enjoying that 1 extra week of home-study.
(Privilege only given to psychos L1R5 below 14)

Prelim results
They kinda sucked, they always do.
I'm not gonna elaborate on every subject.

English - Lowest in class for compre, highest in class for summary.
(how ironic!)
Compo scored lower than usual. 2nd moderator deducted 2 marks off everyone's paper.
Speech was not well written. Oral was pretty average D:
Higher Chinese - 0% distinctions for the entire level.
Highest in class was 65-.-
Super low. I was second or third for the level, sigh, nothing to rejoice about.
I just missed the level top by 1.2marks.
Physics - I passed it for the first time since sec3. But obviously i don't want just to pass.
Humans - I failed both. Pure geog was super near a pass, failed SS damn badly because of Venice.

While i was online shopping and surfing the net,
I found some lookalikes. Celebrity lookalikes.

This is a model-cum-owner of a blogshop i visit.
I think she has vivid resemblance to Zhang Zi Yi.

Selena Gomez & Rachel Bilson seriously look like twins.

Need me to say any further?

A brand new look, again.

2009-09-21T20:04:00.003+08:00

Blogskin changed
- a brand new look for florideloquence (:
Blogger seems to function much better now.
Haven't exactly blogged for the month of August & September.
Not even about myself turning sixteen!

Just had been busier.
Highly doubt i'll blog often from now on cos Os coming up.

Alot of things happened in this short period of time - both good & bad.
Will blog a summary soon.

Post

2009-08-29T00:49:00.003+08:00

Haven't been blogging.
Now blogger is fixed; facebook is kinda screwed.

Shall do a complete makeover to this blog
& i shall blog about my birthday and my bunch of wishes (:

Listen to this and be amazed.
She's a Singaporean btw.

Plastic Mannequin Love - Original song composed by Kewei :D
Music and Lyrics by Tay Kewei

Im writing a song for the universe
Im sending it out to space
If there was a boy who could hear my thoughts
Across the street in the window display

Im writing a song for the universe
To rescue me someday
I never had the chance to tell my love
I loved him since that suit in grey

Im sailing, sailing
In this great pacific garbage patch
My love for you is forever
Nothing will break me down
Im sailing, sailing
You are nowhere to be found
I believe one day youll join me
And well sail round and round, round and round

Oh is that you I see
Illusions they keep haunting me
O! tragedy

I'm so not in the mood to blog cos blogger has gone haywire.

Post

2009-08-08T17:12:00.004+08:00

HAHAHA everyone's asking why my wishlist isn't up since my birthday's like SOON.
Did i say i was posting it up?
Okay i just realised i did, in my previous posts.

Hmm. I've decided to post up some stuffs that i want so you guys won't be that clueless.

I'm 16years old on 11 August 2009.
I'm shoe size UK7; US40; Brazil 25.5 :D
I'm 160.5cm currently. (Not sure if i'm gonna grow any taller.)
I will not reveal my weight nor my clothes sizing.

What i DO NOT like/need/want:
1. I don't like blue coloured stuffs.
2. I don't need lipglosses anymore! I have tons of them! D:
3. I don't want chocolates for my birthday; they make me fat..
4. Don't buy clothes for me - don't ever guess my size -______-

Things i need/want, for NOW:
Hint: Scroll down to number 8, most wanted.

1. A wallet (i think i'm probably getting this by myself)
Basically i'm very picky about choosing wallets.
I only use long wallets.
Criteria:
-Pink or some easy going colours except WHITE.
-Must be big enough to put all my coins, notes, cards, vouchers, earsticks, hairpins, badges and medications.
Therefore, i'm advising you ppl not to get this for me. It's hard to fulfil the criteria.

2. A Pink Yoga Mat :D
Some basic yoga moves are simply easy to do at home.
I just haven't got myself a yoga mat.

3. A Cosmetic Case
NOT A COSMETIC POUCH OKAY.
They are not the same! Go google it.
It doesn't need to be squarish or made of metal.
I need to separate my lipglosses from sunblock and other stuffs :D
Preferably in Pink :D

4. Skincare products
Basically i prefer asian brands - they are supposed to work better on asian skin!
My current crave is Japan's SANA products and korean ones from Dodo Club :D
Their pricing are the more reasonable ones.
BUT, i wouldn't mind trying other asian brands :D

5. Earstuds
Small modern sophisticated ones (like those from DIVA!)
I love their butterfly studs - so sweet! :)
& Vintage 80s ear studs.
I cleared my ear studs like 3 months ago. About 20 pairs.
And that left me with a few pathetic pairs to wear.
That's also the reason why you always see me in that same pair,
that pair of huge jewel ear studs..
Personally, i adore the more elegant pieces.
Like butterflies, pearls and even gems :D

6. Feminine watches
Yup, don't be surprised with this - Y'all know i don't wear watches.
I feel like trying something new.
Watches helps people keep track of time,
but i want a piece that can double up as arm accessory :D

7. Nude coloured lipsticks - i wouldn't mind chinese pink too! :)
I discarded my one and only old lipstick.
Need a new one for Cambridge Dinner :D
I dislike matte-textured lipsticks though.
Preferred lipsticks brand:
-IPSA (under Shiseido)
-Kanebo
-Shu Uemura
-Estee Lauder
-Lancome
-Clinique (I bet Neoyun will recommand me this too! )
-Rimmel (Available in rare parts of Singapore)

8. VOUCHERS! *MOST WANTED!*
This is the most easy-going choice :D
Cos basically you might not get me smth i want.
So it'll be more practical to give this, or otherwise money$$ lar.
As for what vouchers to get for me, it's your choice.
:D

In the meantime,
HERE'S WISHING SINGAPORE AN EARLY HAPPY NATIONAL DAY! (:

9 August - Dad & Singapore's birthday :D
10 August - Aunt Barbara's birthday :D
11 August - My birthday & Prelims starts D:

Post

2009-07-31T23:39:00.001+08:00

The whole school's counting down for my birthday - which is the start of PRELIMS D:
It's scary.

I guess i'm not gonna receive my pressies cos everyone's busy preparing for Prelims.
Who in the right mind will bother so much over the pressie.
Hope's lost.

Omg i saw this online and i want it! SO SWEET :DDDD

2009-07-26T18:44:00.002+08:00

Okay i must say i really don't like this new posting format for blogger.
It feels really weird and the font here is ugly.
Well this ugly font won't show up on my blog though.
I want to revert it back to the norm!

I came across this site while goggling.
"How much do you love yourself" test, sounds pretty interesting to me.
And so, i tried it :D

Test result

Humble Body

52% mind-love and 37% body-love!

That's right! You are physically humble! In my opinion, humility is a great virtue. Regardless of the true state of your body, you don't consider yourself superior to others. Even if you are totally hot.

Humble individuals are most likely to recongnize flaws in themselves and therefore are best equipped for improvement.

The smiley face in the below graph indicates where you lie, in a 2-D measure of self-love. I'm continually adjusting the cutoffs. What this means: a "normal" says you really are around the average, and a "cocky" says you really are cockier than most other people.

Slightly accurate.
I love myself for who i am, most of the time.
I love myself for being vain & realistic. But at the same time, non-high maintenance :D
We all know our flaws, No one's perfect here.
Just love yourself for who you are.
Change the imperfect bits of yours and make a better you in this world :D

p/s:
I NEED A NEW WALLET ASAP.
Any suggestions?

2009-07-21T21:59:00.001+08:00

Firstly i want to let you guys know about the virus that's spreading around in hotmail inbox!
Do not open any mails titled "Foto 27/06", it's computer virus!
In the first place did you take pictures with anyone on 27/06? Think lar.
Well, i received mine from Maureenleeloeiling & Jasmineyeoshimin.
I'm sorry to reveal your names here, but i'm pretty sure you've sent it to all your contacts.
If you've opened the mail and downloaded the "pic",
and you're uncertain if you've sent it to your contacts,
try sending a mail to your own mail.
If it says you've sent too many messages in a day,
you've probably kenna the virus and it is then further forwarded to your contacts as well.
Spread the word & I hope this helps (:

I did not download the "picture" but it's still better to be safe than sorry,
so i'm conducting McAfee scan for my destop now.
I don't care but the comp being laggy.
It's better than having it crashed! -.-
Hahaha i have 3 security centres installed so i guess it's quite safe.
:D

Meanwhile all the best for all O level chinese pupils for tmr (:

Omg you may think i'm crazy.
But believe it or not,
I'm watching "Xiaxue's Guide To Life".
Well she's a very typical kind of Singaporean.
Not so much of kaisu-ism, but her Straightforwardness.
Vulgarities etc, she'll just shoot it out whenever she wants to.
She just mentioned in one of the episodes that
prostitutes in USA are only given a 3day leave when they're having their period.
It sounds like some M18 content and she did freak me out.
HAHAHA felt like watching it since somebody recommended me to watch it.
Well it does kill boredom.

After watching ep 8, i really feel like going for a fish spa.
You know going to those where you put your feets into the fish spa tub,
and then the fishes come to your toes and nibble the dead skin off?
I heard it's especially effective for Asians.
And we have some outlets in Singapore, i can't wait to try it! :DDD

----------

Hahaha.
Hmm. Didn't go shopping this week D:
Ahhh GSS is ending! Must chiong for it next week.

Today is such a fruitful day for me :D
I discovered lots of fantastic beauty sites and i bookmarked them.
Sometimes beauty tips can be quite amazing.
Okay i'm selfish enough not to tell you guys, will reveal some soon :P

Oh and i just realised i didn't mention about my new beauty product yesterday.
Mum just bought me a Pearl & Royal Jelly Cream :DD
Yay i'm like so happy lor.
Pearl & Royal Jelly = Beauty 2 in 1 (:
Pearl, to me, is like a miraculous pill for beauty.
It removes dead skin cells, reduces blemishes and balances your skin.
Royal jelly has some amazing healing properties for the skin and
has been found to have strong antibacterial properties.
I can't wait to try but i'm kinda unwilling to open it cos it's NEW!

I think this thingy works like a protecting foundation/make up base.
But i don't use foundation cos i don't need one.
C'mon. I also want soft, dewy, radiant skin, BUT..
I'm not even 16 and it's only normal to have blemishes and tiny pimples.
It'll go off on its own so long you take good care of it.
I don't conceal anything because it'll make my skin worse.
I only use sunblock so i won't get skin cancer :D
You won't know how bad the sun's rays can be ;)
Okay i'm gonna try that thingy out next week when i go shopping :D

I think i'm gonna put my mask tonight,
good night!

WOW.
I'm shocked that Ivanka trump got engaged to Jared Kushner.
So fast.
( FYI, Ivanka is Donald Trump's daughter :D )

The 21st century shopping queen.
(Sorry for that really plastic barbie doll pic)

It feels so weird to be at home at this time.
Really weird.
Shopping plan failed. Postponed to late afternoon/evening.
And the weirdest thing is that i'm going shopping when i'm near bankrupt.
Regretted buying that Mango bag last month.
It was such a splurge! And plus i won't use that bag too often.
It can only fit a wallet plus a phone. D:

Initially wanted to go for the flea market at SMU Concourse today.
But lazy change bus cos Bras Basah Circle line's still in construction.

I remembered telling Neoyun about CozyCot distributing Hermes Birkin Bags for their founding members. Sad to say that they are no longer distributing them anymore.
It's obvious why.

I want to steal that from Posh!
I heard she has them in several shades D:
Uh-huh. It's hard to overcome jealousy..

Well next week will be a busy week for me.
Monday - lessons end at 1545. After 4 killer periods of hcl -_________-
Tuesday - PISA test. I'm one of the "lucky" 35 representatives from PL.
Thursday - Leadership forum ends at 8pm+?
Friday - Our racial harmony dress up day & lessons end at 1545 D:

Hmm.
I think i'm borrowing a Punjabi from a neighbour,
but i don't have the guts to ask for it.
Does anyone have a spare one to lend me?

A self-confession post.

6 weird things about myself

I'm not exactly a neat freak, but sometimes i'm quite obsessive about hygiene and cleanliness. That's what you call 洁癖 in chinese.
I'll rather write an essay all over again than to correction tape a paragraph off.
I cannot stand ugly handwritings. (I'm sorry if i've offended any of you.)
At times when my handwriting goes messy, i'll liquid paper it and write over again.
I don't hand in slip-shot work. If i didn't put much effort in the work, i'll rather not hand it in.
I like vegetables RAW.
I don't like muscular guys, nothing's really wrong with that hur

In the midst of chionging hw D:
Reminding me of school gives me a headache.

There's always something that kept me pondering during the holidays:
Napfa 2.4
I never thought of passing it this year.
I'm serious, no intention to pass myself this year.
Somehow my laziness drive me no perseverance to go forward.
And my lack of stamina gave me much difficulty in running.
Really felt like giving it up.
But eventually, especially when i passed my 5 items,
all my efforts to pass my 5 items would be wasted.

What for pass my 5 items when i can't pass 2.4,
wouldn't it still be a NIL on the Napfa cert? D:

It really took me alot of perspiration and tears to pass the 5 items.
And i did it.
Now i want to pass my 2.4,
but it seems beyond my means.
And i'm still far from the passing mark.
1st attempt: 25mins
2nd attempt: 23mins
3rd attempt: 21mins
It's <18mins to pass isn't it?

Things i want right now:

Changed phone today.
And tada, it's Sony Ericsson T707 :D

I liked it cos it's Sony Ericsson and best of all, it's pink (:

Well it took me 2 trips to get this phone.
1st trip to Bugis, Singtel's main branch? Spring Rose colour OOS.
I was a little pissed. I waited damn long for my turn.
2nd trip - Kovan heartland mall.
Finally, my phone's settled..
:D

Didn't intend to buy this, consulted Sheryl's opinion.
(She's a self-proclaimed phone guru, so trust her lar!)
I read the features and all are okay.
Cos i just need a phone that's
-At least 3G
-Pink or Red
-User friendly.
Simple hur? I don't need a phone with 8 megapixels.
Whether it's good or bad, i'll have it with me for 2 years.
Well, it's my first time handling a flip phone..

Finally changed my url (:
Sweetsummerescape is still in use for redirecting purposes (:
Took a screenshot of it ^^

Isn't the re-directory cute? link

&
today is fathers' day.
But i didn't prepare anything D:

----------

20 June, Saturday

Visited my granduncle who had an operation less than a month ago.
He's fine now, but he grew skinnier D:
Brought tonics, Cordyceps supplements, Bak-Kwa and food for him.
May God bless! :)

After the visitation, my aunts and i went compass point.
And i was so happy when Aunt Barbara bought me my long-wanted perfume!
Jeanne Arthes is a cheaper alternative to Escada for me (:
I love it.

Watched Boys Over Flowers yesterday.
Didn't want to watch it cos i didn't wanna get addicted to it,
and i don't want to "fall for" those Korean guys.
But now, after watching ytd's episode, i got starstrucked by Kim Bum.
He's like so cute, and he has a charming smile (:
I know Marilyn's absoultely crazy over Lee Min Ho.
I'll agree that he's the 2nd best looking of the 4.
Okay i think the show is good.
The scenery and everything is like so beautiful :D
You can never compare it with taiwan's Meteor Garden.
I just hope i don't get hooked to the show (:

---------

I love food and i have a passion for cooking.
Today i'll share with you people one of my very own culinary masterpieces,
My favourite Spiced pan-fried dory! (you can have it oven-baked too)
I had it last week for lunch.
Sorry i don't have a picture of it taken.

I'm telling you know this is my personal recipe i've invented,
Not anything that's ripped off from the net.

Stephanie's spiced pan-fried dory
Serves 2. Ready in 15mins (:

Ingredients:
-2 frozen Dory fillets, defrosted (Cream dory preferred)
-1 tbsp* of Margarine, may can replace it with olive/canola oil.
-1 tbsp* of Crushed red peppers
-Ground black pepper (any desired amount)
-1 pinch of salt
-1 small lemon (optional)

*tbsp denotes tablespoon.

Equipments required:
-A non-stick frying pan (use oven if you want it oven-baked)
-Frying spatula

Directions:
1. Melt margarine on its own in a small bowl.
2. Marinate Dory fillets in a large bowl with salt, crushed red peppers and ground black peppers. 3. Stir in melted margarine in your marinated fillets and leave it for about 3-5mins.
4. Heat the frying pan. DO NOT ADD IN OIL, we have enough margarine from the marinate.
5. Fry your marinated dory fillets in the pan. 5mins for each side on medium fire.
6. Serve it on your plate and squeeze some lemon juice over it.
Enjoy! (:

I wish to hear some feedbacks on my recipe.
And if you people like it, i'm willing to post up my other simple recipes (:

Saturday - 13 june
Study trip with Mq (:

Decided to study at the most conductive environment - library (:
Had lunch at Cafe Galilee. (it's in the library)
Mine - Chicken & Pineapple Gourmet sandwich (:
Mq's - Tuna Gourmet Sandwich (:
Was quite nice. Served with chips.
What i liked about it was cos they've used foccacia bread! :DDD
Decided not to move so did our hw there.
Hahaha, we multi-tasked.
As usual we chatted, and she, apparently, got high over Lee Min-ho.
(the one who portrayed Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers.)

Went shopping and Mq was like saying she likes clothes from pepperplus (:
So we went in and i told her i won't find my size there.
But yeah there were clothes that could fit me lar! O.O
After that we roamed the mall and got ourselves stucked to a dvd shop.
Mq was like glued at the tv screen, playing Boys Over Flowers -________-
I was browsing through the shelves of Hongkong drama serials (:

-----------

Sunday - 14June
Another library trip

A decent trip with peiying to borrow novels (:

Borrowed this very very touching book, Little Wing.
Teared a little when i read the first half.
And it's like my first time finishing a book within 2 nights!
(you know it can take me up to 6months to complete a book)

After borrowing books, we went to eat our favourite snow ice (:
I bought chocolate, peiying bought mango (:
I think it's okay if i eat it once in a while.

----------

Monday - 15 June

Woke up at 6plus to go for Body analysis at 7 (:
Here it is:

Body fat content - above 30% (Overweight!)

Okay it isn't that bad afterall. (:

Brought Jannabelle for her speech and drama lessons at Sengkang.
The Curry chicken at Sengkang CC was really good (:
Feel like going there next week, but it will ruin my diet plan D:
And there is this new foodie stall at Compass point called "Pie-Kia".
Go try it, people. It's not bad (:

Then i went to try Pukka Ice-cream after tuition (:
Tried Butterscotch flavour, $2.50 per scoop/small cup.
Will try more later (:

Yup i think this post is long enough.
I'm a little ill now, will rest well.
Happy reading (:

2009-06-10T21:29:00.001+08:00

My holiday diet plan officially starts today (:
Bucking on a low-calorie diet. (:
Yay and as friends you guys should SUPPORT ME! (:
And you all can refrain me from eating extra junks & sweet drinks.
(I know i can't resist temptations, i'll try.)

Today.
Munched on grapefruits for breaks (:
Yeah it was healthy, but i felt as if i was starving myself.
I've now decided to stop grapefruit diet, cos i've read articles online:
"Based on the claim that grapefruit has a fat-burning enzyme or similar property, it is considered unhealthy and potentially dangerous." from wikipedia.
Yup and cos i have gastric problems that alr lasted for 6years,
it won't be smart of me to continue this diet.
But but but, i'll continue with my fruity diet, replacing grapefruits with other fruits (:

Gonna do a full body analysis next week.
A little excited (:
Then they'll show me the percentage of fats, bones .. etc in my body.
And it'll be from then on i'll know what & how much i need to lose.

Wish me luck (:

Hey guys,
I've created a quiz on myself.
It'll probably be the last quiz i'm creating.
The link is on the left panel under my profile (true friend test).
This is the direct URL - http://www.truefriendtest.com/friendtest/2126058
Attempt it if you think you truly know me well (:

Stocking up these stuffs for Autumn (:
~~1. My multi-minerals & multi-vitamins masks.~~
2. Cosmetic pouches: A small one for bringing out, ~~big one for home storage.~~
3. Notebooks & looseleaf: to makes notes for myself in the holidays.
4. Perhaps get a yoga mat to start my basic yoga.

To do list as follows \(^o^)/
~~1. Must must must clear my table that had got piled up with books in 2 weeks!~~
2. Tidy up Mum's & my vanity table :|
3. Jot down geog notes on IVLE, but the folder isn't activited yet?
4. Make study trips, for the sake of myself as well as to help others (:
5. Finish my hw asap. (AHHH!)
6. Read 1 chinese & ~~english novel~~ each to widen my vocabulary.
7. Start exercising to help myself pass 2.4 run -.-
8. Start basic yoga if possible (:

Okay i'm so happy cos i've replenished my sunblock (:
You know due to global warming and ozone depletion,
we experience harmful UV glares from the sun.
It has been scorching hot for the past few days D:
Must protect our skin before it gets damaged :D

Well, now i'll tell you why i want to take up Yoga.
Yoga is all about disciplining yourself to balance your mind, soul and emotions.
It is a healthy exercise we can do at home.
As students, we can use it to relieve mental stress and relax our bodies.
Sounds great isn't it?
I WANNA GET MYSELF STARTED SOMEDAY! :D

Of a sudden,
I miss the folks from Kheng Chiu Happy Lodge,
especially the auntie Ziai & i took care of at Bollywood Veggies (:

Stephanie needs a new pretty cosmetic pouch asap! D:

Alamak. My current faux leather pouch is peeling,
and it looks like it's gonna cake up soon. Gosh >:(
Any suggestions on where to get a nice pouch?
I'm not completely clueless, but i'm on a budget: $20 for a medium sized one.
There is this trend whereby many blogshops are selling this Agnes b replica.
(this pic is the authentic agnes b, but the replica just look the same!-.-)

With a wide range of colour to choose from.
But it looks really small, and i dislike following trend.
Basically i don't like to have stuffs that many people owns -_________-

*whines*

----------

I know i have mentioned about this Blemish balm aka BB cream.
Now i really feel like buying this Mineral BB cream, from EtudeHouse.
Came across a blogshop named earlgreyparty, selling this at $28.

And it was said to be very effective :DDDDD
*hints*

Okay i've only worked at Pasta House for 2 days,
merely 2 days and i felt super tired from it.
And worst of all, my skin is suffering from a outbreak!
There's like little pimples on my forehead,
and my cheeks have some barely-visible blemishes!
Ahhh, Must be caused by the dust and fumes there.
So i must now take good care of my skin to let it recover fast.

I'm now a little sick of facebook, somehow.
I dunno why either.

Current results of my change of URL poll (as of 11pm,3rd June)

If you're thinking where on earth is percentage for "The Cockaigne",
currently it is 0%, meaning none voted.

I've used sweetsummerescape for really long.
And i always found it weird, like super weird to name my blog this.
So now finally i've made up my mind,
which is to switch URL (:

This is a poll, not necessarily compulsory for my blog readers,
but i'll appreciate if you could give me your honest opinions (:

Which of the following sounds the best in your opinion?(poll)

Yesterday - 31 May, Sunday
Went Topone KTV with cousins at Bugis (:
My first time eh.
It felt awkward at first; didn't really dare to sing
It's like my first time singing so "openly" in front of people
Had fun singing, laughing & eating (:
Definitely worth my time & money.
*winks*

Had dinner at Lailai Beef Noodle Restaurant (:
Chongming, Congling, Jazsica & I ordered a 4persons set meal.
I had Chicken cutlet rice with Peach Freeze, shared side dishes (:
Nice, but the serving was too large, i couldn't finish it.

Heard of a pretty nice chinese dessert stall there.
Went there after dinner.
I was really full so i didn't get a dessert for myself.
*sighs*

----------

30 May, Saturday

Went shopping with Peiying (:
First stop - Liang Court.
Went Kinokuniya to purchase my long-wanted UK fashion mags!
YAY super happy :D
Hahaha, remember i've got Kinokuniya vouchers from Life Science Symposium?
I bought an uber cute Miffy cup (:
I was like staring at it for damn long, didn't want to buy it cos it was expensive.
$7.70 for a 210ml infant cup leh.
Eventually, i decided to purchase it with my voucher (:

Actually, I specially went there to visit Meidi-ya supermarket :D
Checked out their Japanese snacks and stuffs.
Bought very lovely foreign snacks (:

Next stop - Plaza Singapura.
Hello i go this place super often.
Didn't want to go there at all. Sick of it alr.
But this woman wants to play arcade, so i was dragged there lor.
Don't look down at this woman.
She's a pro in the basketball game, reached the last level.
I was amazed.
Usually i'll end at just level 3 -_________-

Woa, i shall end this post now. Abit long ah.

Post

2009-05-30T14:39:00.001+08:00

Stephanie's in a good mood currently (:
hope it'll last long.

This morning i tried Xando Cola.
Drank it due to curiosity :)
It's a low calorie and less sugar carbonated drink.
My experience: Taste relatively weird to me :|
It doesn't taste like any cola i've tried, i don't know how to describe it.
Well, it tastes okay after a few sips though.

Yay i'm going shopping! Byes.

The chinese students are so poor thing.
Cos O levels is next week,
they are having intensive chinese lessons everyday.
-_____________-
So for hcl we have nothing much to do,
but yet we're required to go school everyday.
It feels so bad when they're doing their mock exams, we are slacking/relaxing O.o
These 2 days we watched 3 movies.
And i teared for all of them during tense and touching scenes!

Yesterday - Painted skin 画皮

I remembered i wanted to watch this online like super badly,
but the online version buffered through and was blurry.
Due to my lack of patience, i decided not to watch it online D:
Okay. Laoshi made us watch this cos our text was on Liaozhai.
Yup, super nice. Practically everyone enjoyed it.
We even sacrificed a little bit of our recess to watch this (:

Today - Roots and branches 我的兄弟姐妹
(It's a super old movie probably from the nineties doubt you have heard of it.)

This movie stars Gigi Leung.
A very touching story where the siblings were parted when they were young.

& Secret 不能说的秘密

A hot favourite directed by Jay Chou himself.
(I watched it twice!)
Staring Jay Chou, Jay Chou, Kwai Lun-mei and Anthony Wong.
A super sweet storyline :D
The college piano acts as a time machine.
All i can say is that this is definitely worth watching.

Got back report book. The results really suck.
I think i haven't work hard enough D:
No pointing sighing.
Will work alot harder and buck up on my humanities.
I hope i can resist all temptations and stay focused in june for my Os.
And that means no more time blogging and facebook-ing!
Will probably be on hiatus.

2009-05-27T22:46:00.002+08:00

Korean Blemish Balm seems very "IN" right now.
Though i'm not those who likes to follow trend,
i feel like giving it a try because i heard it's very effective.
And it protects your skin unlike the usual concealer than clogs your pores.
It's also much better than normal foundations because it is taken from natural plant extracts.
It is said to yield many facial benefits such as improving skin elasticity and hydrating the skin (:

Lalalala.
School is boring.
And i'm getting hooked to facebook applications.
D:

2009-05-17T17:40:00.003+08:00

I finished watching 律政新人王II.
Omg the ending really sucked, don't understand why the scriptwriter did this.
In the last few episodes of the show, the script was totally complicated.
Like so many things popped out of a sudden.. twists here and there.
The ending really freaked me out.
I cried like mad. (Will put mask tonight and hydrate myself well lar.)
Seriously i think that isn't what i really call "HAPPY ENDING" eh.
Can't they make a happier ending?
I'm furious -___________-

--------

Okay let's talk about something more pleasing. :D
Haha, if you have known me well,
you should know that i never liked watches.
And i haven't worn it since i was primary 1.
Hey i know it's kinda weird, but i've developed an interest in it now.
Not the candy coloured Adidas sport watches you people fancy though.
I've now developed a liking for elegant watches that camouflages into jeweleries on lady's wrist.
These are some of the watches that i fancy.

1. Hermes Kelly PM Quartz
The pricing will just shock you, it's US$ 1935.00 :O

2. Baguette Stone Watch
£90.00

Post

2009-05-16T20:54:00.004+08:00

I'm now left with 3-4 more episodes of 律政新人王II.
And i kept tearing. Cos it's so touching.
Who ask the scriptwriter made the characters so pityful-.-
And best of all, who can resist the cuteness of this sweet little girl?

So cute. and her voice is so dainty and charming! :DD
Anyway, her name is 冼迪琦; Kitty.
She's very experienced as she has acted in alot of TVB's drama series.
Okay, enough about the show.

I'm so tired today.
Felt a little exhausted from using the computer.
I want some dessert badly, but i refuse to take ice-creams because it is fattening.
Maybe some sorbet like this (below) will do.

P.S. I want to go out, shopping. Though i don't have much money with me.

Post

2009-05-14T20:55:00.001+08:00

No school today (:
cos i completed all papers.

Omg. i can't believe i came online for half a day.
Though i know i flunked all the papers, i still think i deserved to enjoy myself now.
At least spend my days happily before collecting the heartbreaking results.
I sacrificed my favourite hongkong dramas for 1 year to concentrate on my studies.
So now it's time for me to enjoy them again, before another series of mugs.

Currently, i'm totally obsessed with

Survivor's law II

(律政新人王II)

Finished almost half the show.
Cast includes Kenneth Ma, Ella Koon, Sammul Chan and Selena Li.
Yup the cast is slightly different from the first serial,
where there was Raymond lam, Myolie Wu and Bernice Liu.

Hmm, my opinions about school.
I don't mind school tmr, because i know there's no lessons for us.
But from next week onwards, i'm gonna suffer D:
I'll have to endure with 120 periods of higher chinese lessons.
Can you imagine everyone speaking chinese in school everyday?
(O.O it's gonna be pretty weird, i know.)
Yes i understand that Chinese O levels is three weeks away,
therefore there is a need for CL intensive lesson for them.
I must agree that our PL have to work harder on chinese,
it's the level's weakest subject and that is pulling our school's standard down.

But..
Mine(HCL) is at the end of the year!
Then there'll be an extra series of HCL intensive in term 3 again.
That's gonna be a real pain for us :"(
I want geog, maths and other subjects' lessons!

I guess i'll still have to survive it through D:

2009-05-14T01:59:00.001+08:00

YAY! MYEs complete.

Went to Tampines1 today with Kaijing after my last paper.
Kinda disappointed. (Maybe too much of tv publicity?)
Newly opened with shops of different countries and cultures.
But i felt that they isn't much stuffs to buy there.
Tampines Mall seem to have more and nicer stuffs (:

Shall blog more tmr.

Yesterday - Labour day
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHEEN YIH!
I'm glad to be the first to wish you via sms (:

Planned to study at Bishan library with friends.
But when we reached there, it was closed cos it was a public holiday-.-
Then while walking towards a fast food restaurant,
Walls Ice-cream was there with their truck, having a promotion.
We're entitled to free mango ice-cream if we manage to roll 8points with 2 dice.
Tada, we all got it (:
The person was nice enough to help us cheat. LOL.
Studied a little at kfc.

...
I went Sasa after studying and guess what i fell in love with.

It's love passport's Fairy Wish (:
Super nice. Scents of peach and cassis.
I WANT I WANT I WANT IT!
And the bottle is so cute ^^

Hmm.
Actually i have a few fragrances that i wanna buy.
When post them up after mid-years.

CHEERS, and all the best to all for Midyears :D

Current status: Tired.

I realized i haven't blogged for 13 days.
Ohdear, poor blog D:

Well,
i not in the mood to mug this week.
So i'm kinda worried for my Os.
Hope the urge of mugging come asap :D

Changed the blogskin of class blog today :)
Didn't quite like the previous layout.
Yeah it looks brighter now!

Addicted to playing facebook.
Current obsession: Restaurant City! (:
Maybe i'm still childish.
Wahahaha.

I guess tomorrow will be my most horrible day.
- 2.4 Run.
Can't you just let me give up?
I know i can't make it. I know my ability.
I usually don't choose to give up unless there's a need to.
I really hate napfa test. It's driving me crazy, like seriously.

- English Oral.
I wanna cry T.T
There's a whole lot of strict english teachers on the slot tmr.
I'm scared but i can't do anything about it.
Wish me luck ;|

2009-04-14T20:04:00.001+08:00

Yesterday

Had 2.4km run-.-
Napfa seriously ruin my day.
Had a very bad gastric during the run.
Perhaps due to medications, i was ultra-giddy.
As usual i was the slowest runner. Ohmy.
I remembered Sheryl overtaking me at least 5times.
Tried to keep my momentum going, but i failed to.
And i'll like to thank especially my dearest 4B1-ers and Mr Lim who ran with me for my last 2 rounds.
♥THANKS THANKS THANKS !
I was super melted (:
And duh i failed the 2.4, so i'm running again next week.

Tomorrow there's level morning jog and Mid-Year Practical Exam.
Gosh. Help me ahhh.
I haven't revised for anything and i'm so not prepared for tmr.
I'm really sleepy.

Watch the world through an apple; it's changing.

RECOVERED FROM MY FEVER(:
But Stephanie can't wait to recover from her flu.
It's sucky. I used 2 boxes of tissue already. So not environmentally friendly D:
Furthermore, my facial skin is delicate!
The skin around my nostril will peel if i keep sneezing.
-__________-
Everyone's falling sick. What's wrong with PL?
And i'm still getting stomach upsets DD:

I'm like kinda proud of myself yesterday,
I tidied my house's medicinal drawers and did house chores! (:
The medicinal drawer was filled with lots of weird medicine.
1. Cleared old medicine :D
2. Removed stains of cough syrup. :D
3. Sealed medicines in ziplock bags & containers :D
4. Re-classify medicine according to their uses. :D
Tada, the medicinal drawer is now clean, neat and spacious! :DDD

And i refilled my first aid medicines in my wallet.
Now i have at least 7 kinds of pills and tablets :o
I'm the school's second first aid box.

Hmm.
Currently i'm struggling with geog online assignment,
basically cos i left the textbook in school-.-

Oh, and i strongly recommend you to watch this:

New sitting arrangement!
Mr lim said he might change it again as there are many complaints.

Anyway, currently, i 摆脱 Leah (right), and my new partner is Neo Yun (left)!
Surprisingly i found this pic on Neo Yun's facebook :)

Hmm, school suck nowadays.
Like the teachers are always emphasizing on the Os,
and the amount of homework is like WOW.
I haven't lost my passion for studying.
Just that i find it hard to keep up with the current pace in school.
I'm trying to find time for relaxing.
To relieve stress. I don't want to feel tied up.

Haven't gone for any movies for a year alr.
Ohmy. What's going onnnn.
And where have my marvelous fullday shopping trips been?
I want my life back. Calling for SOS.

Yesterday on facebook:
"Stephanie Loo thinks getting married is stupid, somehow. D:"

The Perfect Man: Does He Exist?
There is no such thing as a perfect man, that’s for sure.
There's no chance of coming across the perfect woman either.
Perfection implies flawless and the very nature of being a human being with emotions that sometimes gets it right and at other times makes it wrong, means that it is impossible for a perfect specimen to exist. No one appears perfect.

How true.
And that implies that my Mr. Right is Missing in Action.
We can't set our targets too high, or no man can meet our expectations (:

---------

Went online shopping and went facebook-ing again.
Trying to multi-task.
Did some hw, they're driving me nuts.
There's this proverb, "Practice makes perfect",
School teachers are really "on" nowadays D:

I want to rest more but i can't, no point sighing.

Hmm, recap for CIP trip. (I'm still waiting for pictures.)

Bollywood Vegetable Farm is nice :D
The aunties and uncles from the home were even nicer :DD
I took an extremely cute 77 years old auntie, together with Ziai.
I held her hand while Ziai held the umbrella for us, HAHAHA :D
And apparently she walks really fast, it seemed like she was holding me instead.
She speaks english, so it was quite comfortable communicating with her.
As for teabreak, we had Banana cake and Fig tea. NICE! :D
Had fun interacting with the other folks too.
Well, the trip was ultimately worth while.
I guess all of us shed tears when the old folks left.
They sent us flying kisses, super sweet! :)
Miss them.

FEVERISH :(
FLU :(
COUGH :(
SORE THROAT :(

Went to see the doctor yesterday.
Prescribed the same medicines again-.-
Gave me a 2day MC for yesterday and today.
But he didn't excuse me for PE! Gosh.
Is he dumb or what. I don't want to break my bones!

Hmm.
Feeling very weak right now.
Shivered the whole night through.
Fever's making my body ache like crazy,
My head hurts when i swing it hard >:(
Coughing like mad, the med doesn't seem to work for me.
This is horrible.
Kinda miss school, though it's just beside my house.
Better recover fast for friday's CIP trip to Bollywood Vegetable Farm!

Had class phototaking yesterday.
If not, i wouldn't have gone to school.
Phew i was "tall" enough not to sit on the chair at the first row.
But left early cos i was not feeling quite well.

Mr Lim took our class pics in PE attire while Mrs Teo was late for PE.
I think i look fat in it :(
I'll post up the 4B1 human queue one. (should be taken from 3rd floor)
Isn't our class cute? ^^

I think i need to rest now,
Sayonara! :D

HERE'S A REMINDER,
EARTH HOUR, DO YOUR PART.

Switch off your unnecessary lights from 8.30pm-9.30pm.
Looks like Stephanie's promoting the event hur?

Alright, yesterday was
PL's SPORTS' DAY!
Congrats, CHEW HOUSE, Overall House Champion again.
At least LEE wasn't the last. :DD
I remembered the last time LEE won overall house champ was ...
10years ago, in 1999 D:

Despite my throat infection,
I ran and cheered for LEE house.
And there goes my voice.
My voice is completely gone. Awww.
I want to sing D:
I guess i'll visit the polyclinic tmr.
I hate it when there's phlegm stuck in my throat-.-

2009-03-23T22:01:00.001+08:00

WOA, BEST.
I just cleared my mails yesterday.
And today i just opened it, guess what i saw.

MAIL FLOODED BY MR LIM!
And most are repeated = SPAM D: (LOL! jkjk.)

First day of school
Hmm, I woke up in a rush today.
Couldn't wake up, sleep time adjusted by holidays >.<
Today's class was good, somehow. Quite Slack.
1. PE - Did Sit-ups and Push-ups, and i totally cannot make it.
Sit-ups i couldn't even do 10 =.=
Push-ups i can't even do 1!
Wth. I suck at physical activities larh.
2. Social Studies - Normal :)
3. LIVE - The video was damn funny! Very cool :D
At least we learnt something about our feelings towards the opposite gender.
And the relationship between our genes and smell :O
4. English - Mrs Jacob came in to collect hw.
Did compre on Hersheys and Mars chocolates; nice passage! :)
5. E maths - WOW we went on to a new topic.
Very hard to use the calculator. So many things to remember D:
6. HCL - Lessons cancelled. Work given though.
7. House meeting - Screamed and cheered. Throat infection came back-.-
Now my throat hurts, so how am i gonna cheer for sports day this friday?
I can't even yawn properly lor.

LOL, Of a sudden,
I'm damn tempted to purchase perfumes/body mists.
Okay, in case you can't differentiate them,
I shall explain.
Perfumes - Known as Eau De Parfum, usually contain Alcohol, have a strong & distinct fragrance, and should last for the whole day.
Body Mists - Scents are usually lighter and fragrance fades off within hours.
(similar to deodorant)

I want this Lulu Castagnette!
I remembered going Sasa with Shuyi last year and we were addicted to this.
It seriously smell damn nice, i think it's nicer than Escada's Moon Sparkle.
Any Recommendations?

Stephanie's not ready for school. D:

I'm having real bad headaches nowadays,
and the phlegm in my throat is annoying me now.
HAIZ.
New timetable sucks. 1st lesson, PE.
Can you imagine having 2.4 Run as first lesson.
Ohmytian, i can just die.
And i'm worried about my new sitting arrangement.
(Clara, Maureen & Mr Lim, please be nice to me! ;D)

Haven't completed my homeworks. (I feel so bad for playing facebook D:)
And i think i'm too tired to do it.
Haven't pack bag-.-
Done with ace-learn E maths hw. (PHEW!:D)

At least today,
I started with A maths revision and learnt abit about Integration at tuition.
Sat with Marilyn and Vanessa. Missed them lots.
They used to be my best pals in sec 1 & 2 :DD

Yesterday,
Went to Sinyan's house to help her with YTSA project with Shuyi.
But we were 70% drenched on our way there due to heavy rain.
Phone almost died. Rainwater made my phone go sot-.-
Currently it's working as per normal (sometimes AUTO shutdown).

Shall post up recent pictures next week.
Just came to realise junior Sheen Yih kopes my pics,
and then saves it into her iPhone! :O
Omg, do you have a crush on me? (just joking!)
Maybe i'm just to pretty for your reference hur?

OH, not forgetting to announce,

Darn it.
So please take note that i might not be replying all SMSes.
Sorry all!

Inbox flooded with 100+ emails.

I sucha good girl.
Went wet market with my aunt this morning.
:DDD

Yesterday wore slouchy top and mini denim skirt for tuition.
Woa finally got chance to show off my sexy clean back.
(I must say it's the nicest, most flawless part of me lor!)
Then i was like so shy when i saw the crowd, so i shielded myself in hoodie.
Shuyi said i defeated the purpose of wearing the top-.-
Then went Xin Wang Hongkong Cafe with shuyi and sinyan.
Used $10 voucher. LOL.
Ordered damn pathetic stuffs (cos main purpose is to finish the voucher):
-2 trays of Ha Gao (shrimp dumplings)
-2 pineapple buns
-3 cups hot water.
Damn funny-.-
Oh, and not to mention SHUYI's sunburnt face!

No $$ to go shopping ):
I want:
-pepper lunch

WOW.

It's been almost 4years since i last talked to Alyssa Toh Li Yu, 6 Pa 2005.
We've never came online together these 4years, how incidental is this.
Ohmy, 4years. It's fast like lightning.
And so we chatted damn alot for almost 2hours i guess,
Taking about our lives in secondary school and those stuffs you all can imagine.
Like remembering our nicknames, classmates we had..
And yeah both of us still look about the same and yes,
at least we can still recognize each other! :D
And i just came to realize today's her birthday! HAHAH, BEST!
Had a great time chatting with her, LOL.
Like there's so much to talk about within the 4years.
Interesting stories of our secondary school life to share.
Well, this is what i call LONG TIME NO SEE.

(Last year's pic, this year no photography-.-)

Hmm, firstly, CONGRATS!
Passing every level of difficulty at first try, that was cool :D
i shall keep to my promise.
Shall get you a facial foam today :DD
And it took me ages to dig out this pic of yours!

Yesterday i was dead beat.
I spent half my day in school. Like, wow?
High jump ended at almost 7pm,
and cos it was the last item, we were asked to carry the mat back.
And i carried the heaviest mat with the rest, omg it was damn heavy.

Haven't been coming online often cos i've been chionging homework.
Like there's so much work to do.
And i seriously need help for physics and chem.
Mrs Loo is going fast like bullet train.
And Just look at the lessons i've missed.
I doubt i can catch up with the rest ):

And regarding my results,
Hmm i think i should be very thankful that i passed everything,
though i didn't do to my abilities, and were way below my expectations.
Meet the parents session next week. *sigh*
As in i'm fine with it, but my parents are not free to attend.
So i'll get my report book during the holidays.

I'm very, very tired.
And i'm falling sick D:
But nothing's gonna stop me from going shopping!

FACTS:

-Cookie Monster died during Mrs Goh HC's lesson, 27Feb.
Deepest Condolence from 4B1.

-My dearest pet baby lobster, Lobbie, traumatized to death by thunder.
Rest In Peace, 28Feb.

I heard Philadelphia-Style Ice Cream is pretty easy to make.
So i surfed for the recipes around the net.

Hmm.
And i dunno why but i've got craving for healthy food nowadays.
Like i'm hooked to yoghurt now.
Emmi raspberry and Yoplait no fat boysenberry are fantastic! :DD

And i like eating fruits too. Basically any refreshing and non-pungent fruits.
I'm a person who prefer eating light tasting stuffs.

*Edited*

Fatigue is like .
I'm feeling moody.
There's so much work to do.
Holocaust proj; Lit proj; Physics hw; Tons of HCL hw; Uncompleted A maths hw;

"Juniors 踩到你的头上了，你还没有感觉啊？"
I know i don't have the ability to scold them.
But when it's time, i will.
Firstly i shall not mention what happened during cca today.
I'm feeling a little disappointed.
But i'm sure you all have self-discipline.
Where are your basic courtesies?

Finally borrowed blazer of the correct size from my dearest LAOER! :DD
I thought i couldn't fit into hers. HAHAHA.
And must especially thank the guzheng girls for helping me get a pair of
comfortable, fitting court shoes. Thanks Waiyee (:
Wheee.
I think it's damn cool wearing that. But it looks weird on me unfortunately.

I'm like super exhausted now.
But still staying up to watch the last episode of Supermatch!
Omg. I think MiiWei & I are nuts can.
How can i sacrifice my sleep for that kind of show. LOL.

Common tests are over and i'm supposed to replenish my sleep now.
But i can't.
Everyday seemed like routine.
Morning wake up; School; After school activities; home; dinner; hw/choing projects; sleep.
The same thing goes over and over again.
There's no life man!
I want to go shopping.

Omg. School work is driving me crazy.
Like there's so much hw, everyday.
I just want to sleep more :D

Okay i'm working on the Holocaust project & Lit.
I'm very freaked out by the horrible pictures from the Holocaust.
Adolf Hitler was so cruel. He showed no mercy to the Jews.
It's terrifying and i guess you probably can't sleep for a day or so when you see the pics.
Horrendous termination of lives.
Of a sudden, I feel for them. :"(

To Kill A Mockingbird is a nice novel.
I like studying on that book though i'm not-a-very-literature-person.
You can literally picture the story and setting in real life.
It's amazing when a book can bring to feel the other nasty side of life.
Harper Lee, you rock. :D

I think i have no more brain storage space le. HOW?

HIT THE MALLS
Oh. AND YES I'VE BEEN DYING TO SHOP! :DDD
Preferably Vivocity or Orchard.
I want places where i can shop for very long.
Tampines mall, Novena & City Hall area is not a bad choice.
I'm gonna sacrifice my weekend sleep time to shop!
:D

LAST PAPER, Yipee :D
Flunk my papers, but it's over, i can't do anything;
But to mug hard for A Maths (:

Today's lessons are like WOAH.
Hmm, had a 1hour ladies gossip with 8days mag. Fantastic :D

And i just came to realise my New Year Resolutions can never come true.
How is it possible for me to shed weight?
I think i just gained another few kilograms? THINK ONLY.
Hahaha. And i just realised my bro's heavier than me :o

Okay as for common test:
-Chem;
I totally don't get the mole concept. = flunked.
-Physics;
I'm okay with those that required formulas that i memorized.
But i couldn't do thermal physics and the p.d. question. Eeeks.
-E maths;
I dunno why, but i screwed it up.
-Social Studies;
I don't know what to write for Saddam Hussein who is in heaven(or perhaps hell).
-Geog;
Geography of food. I anyhow write.
-Literature;
No time arh! My answers were really short.

And as for those papers we got back..
-Higher Chinese;
Hmm i'm damn shocked that i didn't fail :D
Cos i didn't study for tian2xie3han4zi4, and i failed that component.
-English [Compre];
I heard other classes only have less than 1 out of 4 passes.
My class had around 2 out of 5 passes, and i'm not the lucky few. ):

一句话，加油吧！:D

Ohhh. And i removed my blogsong since i've so many video posts.
