sherlyn dear, don't get too high during lectures and tutorials.. it's been great so far having you for lessons and lectures.. at least i don't feel so left out.. and yes, i'm enjoying school cause it's a distraction.. with you, xiao min and DJ during lectures and with you for tutorials, i'm really thinking lesser already.. *hui yee, see this? i'm thinking lesser already... lol.. *

anyway, i think i'll be listening to hui yee's advice regarding certain issues.. you know can le.. =) and we can meet for lunch on mondays, wednesdays and thursdays! just call or msg, k? i'll look for you if i need company.. haha.. i don't think my friend, sherlyn, will mind.. heehee..

from total strangers to friends to best friends to dears/dearies to hao jie mei.. i'll truly treasure these friends.. while i can have many friends and best friends, i can only have few dears and dearies cause we can clique and have topics to talk about.. but i can only have 1 hao jie mei.. she know who she is can le.. =)

ok, i'm off to shower before i start on my research for comm skills.. so badly need to complete that tonight cause it's HSM3 and dinner tmr with hui yee.. yeah! can't wait.. heehee.. =)

-edited-
I've made my choice.. I hope i don't regret.. i know i may and will feel like shit when there are encounters in church.. i know i'll be damn down and emo after each encounter but this is the only thing i can do in order not to get hurt even more.. but i really considered a lot and with her advices, i'm making this move.. i just hope i don't regret.. and i know while going through this, she'll be there to hear me out, listen to me talk.. i know she'll bring me out for dinner and dessert and try to cheer me up.. at the same time, i'll be strong.. i'll focus on my studies, together with her.. the both of us will chiong studies now.. we'll have each other as company..

a best friend is a sister God forgot to give you..
to me, she's more than a best friend..
she's my hao jie mei whom no one can replace..
and she'll be the only one..
this is my assurance to her.. =)

back from my trip yesterday but was too tired to update.. and i'm still tired.. lol.. almost couldn't wake up this morning for tutorial.. anyway, overall, the trip's great! had fun shopping, walking around and we were either eating or shopping most of the time.. let the pics show you..

*BEWARE: YOU MAY GET HUNGRY AFTER SEEING THE PICS!! lol.. =)

our lunch for day 1!! keow tiao soup.. not too bad.. yummy! =)

our gelato ice-cream at the first shopping mall.. the mall was near our hotel that we walked there and back.. lol..

our dinner! chicken rice balls at Jonkers.. It's actually those shops in the midst of a night market.. it was really packed and squeezy that i got a little irritated.. the place, however, reminded me of taipei's hua si night market..

we had wan ton mee on the 2nd day after church at Jonkers again cause the sisters wanted to get pineapple tarts.. the serving was really small that me and dad had 2 plates each.. great food once again.. and that's my drink - herbal tea.. had an after-taste but good to cool down cause the weather was real hot!

that's our dessert.. also at Jonkers.. mum, dad and my 2 older sisters had chendol while me and angel had mango ice kachang.. it's really different from Singapore.. Singapore got a lot of kachang but over there, no, it's only sweet corn and kidney beans.. and small portions so was easily gone.. the dessert really came at a good timing cause the weather was so hot that i think you can heat stroke...


that's our tea-cum-dinner.. we had satay at 4 plus.. it was like a satay buffet.. where you sat and eat until you had enough.. but no, it wasn't free.. you had to pay for the number of sticks..

try guessing the number of sticks we ate in total?? lol.. we ate a total of 115 sticks.. but the satay was good.. yum.. smelt of satay after that.. anyway, end of pics... didn't take pics for dinner on day 2 cause i forgot.. was too hungry but the serving was big! and mind you, we had western... from chicken chop to chicken thigh to lamp chop to sirloin steak.. price was rather reasonable upon conversion back to singapore dollars.. that's why it's worth to eat western in malaysia cause in singapore, it's only half the price! no pics for the last day as well cause it was home-sweet-home.. lol.. overall, really had fun!! from now till mid-semester break, there's no more holidays so let's get down to business, frens!! =)

P.S: yeah! HSM on thursday!! whee!! finally something to really cheer me up.. =)

extracted from sherlyn's blog.. "happiness is seeing marianne in sch everyday." hahahahaha..... sherlyn, i'm so touched.. really.. lol.. we don't need to make new frens le.. we go be anti-social ourselves!! haha.. but no, we must try to clique with them, ok.. haha, even though we know we're happy with just the company of each other.. lol.. to me, i'm having happiness already.. cause happiness = family, happiness = friends i love, happiness = GOD, happiness = being able to teach young kids catechism, happiness = jie who always listens to my complaints and good news, happiness = liking him even though it may one-sided... happiness = current life!! =) cheers, people! =D

p.s: i so wanna watch HSM3!! i'm into HSM these days.. cause i think zac efron is cute!! lol.. =)

headed down to thomson today just before school for a eye check.. mild eye infection... eyes too dry, dead cells(?) results in no wearing of contact lens for one week.. that is till next thursday when i go back to thomson to check again.. so i'll be in specs this week and next week.. how nice but can't be helped.. my eyes are more impt.. and yes jie, i should have listened to you.. =x called the eyewear shop just now to see if i can get my new specs on thursday instead of friday.. cause friday's a long day for me.. after school got to come back home to pack for malacca trip.. so i thought thursday would be better.. they called me back and said if they receive it tmr, i can go and collect.. i think the salesperson heard wrong day but never mind.. lol... ok, i'm sleepy.. but i can't nap otherwise tonight i'll be an owl.. O.O

bad news... at least, it's bad news to me.. went to make new specs just now after seeing my jie get hers.. design is similar to hers and it's blue! hers is blue as well but different shades.. like mine! =) however, bad news is i'm officially $100-$200 poorer (shan't state the exact cost lah..) and my degree for both eyes went up! like rocket sia! right eye increased from 650 to 750, left eye increased from 600 to 650 and astigmatism went up by 50 for both eyes.. yikes! how bad is this.. double that of my second sister! =S i've so gonna take better care of my eyes now! and good news is that the design's nice that i may consider wearing specs to school on certain days.. haha! cause i think the design's rather fashionable so heehee.. and bad news (once again) is that my eyes are super red now! all thanks to my contact lens.. i may not wear contact lens tmr to school le.. depending on my eyes.. hopefully it's just because i didn't sleep well last night that's why it's red.. owells.. anyway, from this week onwards, i'll be rather busy for the next few weeks, including weekends.. this long deepavali weekend is gone, next saturday and sunday will be in church (somehow looking forward to it...), following saturday is thanksgiving and BBQ in church! how nice! owells.. maybe it's a good thing.. =)

jie, enjoy your long long long weekend, k?! your 'stupid' mei will get you snacks from malacca.. meet up next week to pass to you.. the day we meet (which is most prob a wednesday?), i'll wear my glasses to show you!! i promise.. haha.. lol.. dun miss me, yeah? haha... -loves-

I've got to say I'm sorry.. i tried not to think so much but the more i try, it's worse.. i said i won't bother and focus on my studies now but i can't.. i really wanna know how you're doing, are you ok.. all those outings with hui yee did make me enjoy myself and cheer myself up.. it really worked but i don't deny that somewhere in my heart, i'm thinking about you.. please don't doubt that my smiles are fake.. it's real, it's coming from my heart but i'm sorry that he's affecting me now.. those thoughts.. those factors that are popping up.. they're making me think a lot again, making me consider if i should let go and give up or should i hold on to my happiness, that he's the one.. making me consider whether it's like or infatuation... blinded by the desire to be in a relationship.. but i promise, that when school starts tmr, i'll be fine.. i'll try to divert my attention to studies.. and i'll not be that emo and down but more happier cause i've got friends around me to make me stay happy.. i'm sorry but i'll be fine... =)

maybe i don't belong in your world at all...
maybe you don't belong in my world at all...
that's why I'm thinking a lot again...
I know I've got to move on and be who I am again...
but I seem to be stuck at this point..
I don't seem to be able to move on for now..

have been up since 7.15 this morning till now.. heehee.. surprisingly i could wake up for the orientation but sadly, i was a little sleepy and maybe it's been quite some time i woke up early, i started going crazy as what xiao min they all know.. super high during the break and sherlyn and me kept laughing and talking.. haha... although we're different timings for our attachment, we're glad to be in the same class.. =)

gg out later in the evening at 6 plus.. meeting dear hui yee for dinner and shopping at bugis street.. heehee.. hopefully even when school start, we can meet up once every few weeks for dinner and dessert at blk 85 or simpang bedok.. don't mind going to simpang.. geez, she'll know why.. haha.. ok, let's enjoy the last 2 days before school officially open.. and i've got no more free day but it's ok.. =)

-edited-
got home not too long ago.. tired after one whole day.. the both of us.. but we had fun at bugis.. had some heart-to-heart talk with hui yee, shopped at bugis street, chatted and laughed in the train and at bedok inter.. we didn't go home empty-handed.. hui yee bought a pair of jeans which was nice and i bought a pair of shorts, as a present from tracy (THANKS GIRL!!) and a bag, the kind which i've been looking for since last year.. so was pretty fruitful, as always! :) too tired to blog already.. nights peeps! =)

jie, thanks! thanks for hearing me out each time i got a problem.. thanks for hearing me out each time i tell you updates (you know about what lah..).. thanks for always bothering to go out with me every time i'm down because of certain reasons.. although i feel i'm not a good jie mei as you, but i know you <3 me! lol.. hope you enjoyed this holiday cause we've been meeting up! when school start on monday, we still must continue to meet up, yeah? and i'll still continue to update you.. and on mondays or wednesdays, if you wanna meet up to go home tgt or even for dinner and dessert, i'm just a call away.. jie, remember that your mei is always here for you, k?! just like how you're always here for her.. =) -loves-

haha! my dream came true! me and sherlyn really same class!! :) cool.. haha.. for the next 1 1/2 yrs, we'll be fine.. really fine and at the end of it, we'll be over-hyper! haha..

sherlyn, i'm loving you!!
hahaha... cause we're classmates once again!! :)

i'm not feeling myself today.. rather i'm not at ease.. not sure why either.. there's just this strange feeling in me.. owells... but i foresee i won't be able to fall asleep easily tonight cause timetable's being released tmr morning at 10 am.. gonna wake up early, check timetable before bombarding people's phones with calls and msgs... lol.. :)

great day today! had lots of fun with hui yee.. just loving her lots! and i made her tear a bit.. lol.. but overall, it was a great day and i think she had fun! she left me a msg last nite and again at 12 plus.. so i called her and the first thing i did was not say hello but sang her a birthday song when she answered the phone.. and she was so touched she started tearing.. haha.. she's my jie so obviously her birthday will be celebrated in a special special way.. :) so met up with her and as usual, i was early despite leaving the house late on purpose.. bused to marine parade and we walked to east coast park.. walked and chat and laughed.. headed to the bicycle rental shop where we rented a tandem after concluding that i can't ride on my own.. we had fun trying out the tandem and when we first started, i kept screaming (as usual) and she panicked as well.. lol.. but after a while, when we got used to it, we headed off to bedok jetty.. haha! i can ride a tandem ok.. and help to pedal.. so till i can ride on my own, dear frens, i can ride a tandem! haha! ok, so at bedok jetty, we started to camwhore and enjoy the nice breeze before heading back cause it looked like it was going to rain although in the end, it didn't... we got tired and we went for gelare ice-cream after returning the bike.. chat and laughed again before heading to the beach to once again, enjoy the breeze and boy! the breeze is real shiok! haha... after that we walked back to KC before taking a cab to bedok inter cause she was late..

overall, i guess be it me and her, we truly enjoyed ourselves today! had lots of fun! we're meeting again on friday for dinner and shopping at bugis.. gotta get her present and i think she'll be getting mine as well, if i'm not wrong.. haha.. and we're trying to see if after school start, whether we can meet one day for steamboat at east coast park there too! cool, looking forward.. this holiday rocks cause i kept meeting up with her almost every week and also cause she was there when i needed her and i was there when she needed me.. all this is because we're hao jie mei, best frens.. :) i won't exchange her for the world... cause she's my jie! :) once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUI YEE!! :)

-edited-
i'm tired, having a bad headache.. i think i most prob can sleep till morning tonight.. and my heart's beating faster.. :)

since yesterday, i've been in a super good mood! shan't say why but yah.. :) and it's good to be in a good mood! haha.. anyway, today went back school for a while for some HR kelly services attachment briefing.. haha, me and sherlyn were glad that we had each other for company cause we knew no one there! imagine going to the briefing alone! yikes! haha.. really hoping that the both of us will end up in the same class and we were making logic and reasoning with the subjects and classes and stuff... there's an attachment orientation on friday morning in school.. gotta wake up at 7 plus.. meeting sherlyn at 8.30.. and knowing her, i think she'll be a little late.. haha.. rite girl? by then, i think we would have gotten our timetables already so me and her would either be damn happy cause we're in the same class or damn sad.. but i believe my dream will come true.. :) packed week ahead.. tmr is birthday celebration with hui yee, wednesday is date with angeline since there is no way we could fit everyone so we decided to meet up... just the both of us and we're going for sushi! cause i've got craving.. thursday is angel's birthday celebration and friday is HR attachment orientation.. i think it'll be fun! sherlyn, i'm looking forward to it.. i hope you are too!! if we really end up in the same class, you'll improve lots in areas like punctuality, attendance, discipline and neatness? haha.. lol.. :)

I hereby announce that I AM JIE JIE AND NOT AUNTIE.. so sad when marcus ask his son, lucas, to call me auntie.. my next reaction was 'is call jie jie lah, not auntie' before i proceeded to play with his son.. but his son is sooo cute... :) then again, all kids below primary 4 and babies are cute.. :)

I'm hooked on to chocs recently.. just started not too long ago.. currently enjoying my pack of Hersheys' kisses - milk chocolate with almonds! yum! i need to get my supply of chocs, preferably dark chocolate.. best choice for me? DARS.. :) and chocs is always able to cheer me up... :)

my half-eaten pack of Hersheys' chocolates.. haha..

my new pack of chocs!! tempting huh? haha..

that one hersheys' choc is just so small.. it's gone before you know it.. :) -loves-

hmm.. i'm starting to wonder.. ever since i changed my blog address, does anyone else other than those i told to, know about the new blog address? -thinks- anyway, yes, what am i doing at home at this time when i actually had a class outing to celebrate kelly's birthday? i'll tell you: they smsed me.. whoever that is.. they msged me.. but sadly, i didn't receive any sms from them... seriously, i tell you honestly! it's not my fault that i don't wanna go (although i admit i was still considering) but yah.. i never received any msgs frm them.. so pls tell me, how do you want me out of the house when they were at esplanade at 6.30p.m and when mum has prepared my dinner? so to conclude, this is not my fault... owells.. my next worry is do i seriously have to do comm skills with them?? -sighs-

tired.. cause i worked today... went to KCP to teach.. teach wad? teach chinese.. cool eh? haha.. and yeah! finally i see money coming in even though this may be the last time i'm getting money before the holidays end.. lol.. but nvm, that $65 earned today will be received after i start school.. so i guess it's to save.. lol.. but i still need to get things before sch start.. lol.. anyway, shan't bore you with my day.. here's the 3 pics taken yest during my dinner date with sherlyn, xiao min, DJ and angeline.. hopefully we'll be able to meet again next week.. ok girls?


that's our dessert - mud ooze.. yummy but can be quite sick of it after eating.. didn't take our soup and main course cause we were too hungry and forgot..


can u see how much the bill came up to? $102.50!! first time go out with friends can spend that much even though we split the bill evenly..


xiao min, angeline, DJ, sherlyn and me.. the peeps i was with last night for our dinner date! trying to arrange one next week for steamboat! yum! makes me all so excited!! haha.. girls, pls RSVP me ur preferred day, yeah?! :) ok, i'm hungry and tired.. out of here.. :)

wonderful evening with the girls today! had fun, went high.. i wasn't the only one that went high.. sherlyn went high too.. and i think she more high than me lor.. but one thing sad is that we didn't take many many pics.. but it's ok.. we've got plenty of chances in future! rite girls? pics that was taken will be up tmr, i guess.. lol.. if i'm not too lazy lah.. :)

anyway, had nice chats with them today as well.. from part-time jobs to the coming semester! and i'm saying this again (i know i said it many times..) but i really need to get a job next semester holiday especially when mum's gonna cut my allowance to $20 a week.. how to survive on $20? so must find a job.. giving advance notice: you peeps out there.. pls drag me to find a job next holiday, yeah?! and i'll have to start saving again when school starts so that my savings will go into the bank to pay for my monthly phone bills.. basically, i need to save and a job next semester holiday.. but before i start saving, anyone interested in going shopping with me to buy shorts and more cute t-shirts? lol.. :)

2nd topic we were talking about was our elective classes next semester.. i'm hoping that we really split class next semester.. the class we are in for our electives would be the class we'll learn comm skills with too.. that's what i'm hoping.. but we shall see when the timetable gets released next week! and if me and sherlyn are really lucky, we end up in the same class, we'll have great fun doing projects tgt.. rite? :)

and the last thing we were saying is that i ought to go and do event management since i organise outings so well.. *refers to tonite's outing with them... haha.. and the next big 'event' i'm organising is studying all our timetables, finding out common break times and days we end at the same time, if our finance lectures are the same.. that is generally.. more specific? hmm, studying whether me and sherlyn would be in the same elective class.. haha.. well, this all just boils back down to elective classes next semester.. and i said this just now and i'm saying it again: hey girls! 1st week of school, let's attend finance lectures together, yeah? and sherlyn, we attend HR lectures together, yeah if there's any.. haha.. sherlyn asked me why am i looking forward to school.. here's my answer to all of you who are wondering: cause when school starts, i can divert my attention to studying instead of spending that time thinking about other stuff.. that's why i'm looking forward to school.. but on the other hand, when school starts, sian again cause of projects.. owells.. ok, long post today.. i'm out.. night peeps.. :)

say i'm long-winded..
but i guess you girls know what i want to say..
and what i've trying and am wanting to say..

-edited-
the surprised yet somehow expected pass-by added smiles to my face today...

the greatest thing in all my life is knowing you..
the greatest thing in all my life is knowing you..
i want to know you more, i want to know you more..
the greatest thing in all my life is knowing you.. :)

as tuesday meeting is more or less confirmed with the poly friends (DJ, xiao min, sherlyn, angeline and maybe yee sin), i came to realised one thing: i've put the unhappy events that made me angry, upset and teared behind my back.. the events that made all of us, excluding sherlyn, unhappy that nearly spoiled the friendship we had with each other. they know what events i'm referring to, i guess. the KC dears whom i told to will may be know as well, that is if hmm, they even remember? i realised that i should bury the hatchet and make peace. life is so unpredictable that no one knows what will happen the next moment. instead, i'm choosing to cherish and treasure the friendships i had with these girls despite our differences in culture, religion and background, cause it is such differences that make each one of us special in our own ways, agree? haha.. life in poly is very different from life in KC.. those jokes we made and the changing of pe attire openly in the classrooms.. those were unforgettable.. the friendship made there is forever.. although i feel that although poly friends, in general, may not be as understanding in certain issues such as my religion and our views on BGR (and somehow, i realised that KC girls are able to understand the different or similar views of BGR better...), they're special in their own way.. because GOD makes everyone unique and special... :) to those 5 girls - we're finally meeting this tuesday! we haven't met during the holidays! looking forward to it and hope you are too! cya on tuesday! :)

gosh.. i realised i've got a packed week next week! i just realised that tracy's starting sch in 2 weeks' time.. which means next week is her last week of holiday and that if i want to meet up with her one more time, it'll have to be next week! which means these are the things lined up next week: date with hui yee(not sure when but i'm definitely meeting her!), confirmed dinner date with my poly peeps, outing with class peeps(which i have yet to decide whether or not to go) and my meeting with tracy if we're both able to meet! ahh!! no money liao.. looks like i've got to withdraw money next week.. depending on my cash flow after each outing.. s***... but i have to admit one thing: although this holiday i haven't been working, but my holiday is fun-filled with those outings! and now, i think i should have found a job.. drats...

-edited-
i'm angry with myself tonight for not bothering to job-hunt this holiday.. i'm angry with myself tonight for not giving that eunos job interview a try.. as a result, my wallet is about to break open widely and i'm slacking at home every day.. i'm angry with myself tonight for thinking whether or not God heard the prayers i said last night.. lastly, i'm angry with myself tonight for feeling this way.. :(

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY TO EVERYONE! we're all young at heart no matter how old we are so we ought to celebrate children's day as well... also, we're all children of God so that's another reason to celebrate.. heehee, my sister thought of that! :) anyway, went out this afternoon, just got back home not too long ago.. unexpected meet with nicole.. rather last-minute at parkway.. met my sister back at bedok MRT to train down to city hall to get the anti-virus software for the computer and laptops at home.. after that, bused down to Furama Hotel for dinner with mum and dad... :) nice ending to a public holiday! angel's sick cause i passed her the flu bug which i had for the last few days.. she, unlike me, went to see the doctor today and got MC for tmr.. so i've got company at home tmr (but as if it makes a difference).. lol.. next week, 2 outings.. one with hui yee, which i mentioned in the last post and another with class peeps.. hmm.. still considering whether or not should meet them.. let's see how much i spend when i'm out with hui yee especially if we're heading to bugis this time round.. if i'm broke = no meeting with class peeps.. if not, yah, maybe will meet them up.. oh! i've still got dinner appointment with the poly peeps.. sherlyn, i know you're reading this.. set a date, yeah?! haha.. :) end of post.

i can't wait for 'N' levels to end...
so that that hope will come soon...
i can't wait for 'A' levels to end...
so that i can go out 'partying' with my KC dears..
i can't wait for school to start...
so that i've got something to divert my attention...
and try to keep you away from my mind...
