For (AT LEAST) 10 times, the very hardworking me would head for the "save now" option after attempting to type 5 sentences. I used to enjoy blogging about every single thing that happened because I have the habit of reading my archives and laugh at all the silly lovely things that ever happened in my life that helped me grow to who I am now. But thanks to Facebook, I've stopped uploading pictures to this space and I am someone who refuses to blog an entry without pictures. And hence this abandoned blog. I DON'T WANT! haha. Anyway, I feel very much like I am talking to myself, but I am determined to hit the "publish" option this time!

This term break has been a fruitful one (not a pleasant one to my mummy cause I've been going out almost everyday! :x). Never appreciated holidays this much before because term time was really horrible to the max. Not the friends of course. I'm referring to the non-living things (projects/reports/essays/tests/quizzes/exams/readings/........................ewwwwwwwwww X10) So how can I not make full use of the holidays!!!

So let me try recalling what I've done during this term break!


1) Went to Marina Barrage for the first time in my life
And many many many many times after that! Beautiful scenery + wonderful people, just that the weather can be quite uncooperative at times!


2) Went to the flyer for the first time as well
Damn exciting cause it's only $10! heh heh. Went at night and the view's great I would say. The lights, waters and roads, and how amazing things become so insignificant when you are up there. Nice experience, but I will never fork out $29.90 to try it out. No promotion, no go! hahah.

3) Celebrated Kylie's Birthday


Met up with all of the girls. Yay cause it's been sooooo long! :)
Picnic/kite-flying(in dresses ;p)/cake-cutting/photo-taking/HTHTed (With a classic moment of Kylie preaching while wearing her damn cool shades hahahaha) I feel so blessed whenever I recalled how we met as 9 naive and immature secondary school kiddos 7 years ago and the tight bond that we still share this very day. For 7 years, we celebrated every single one of our birthdays together, went house visiting on CNYs, counted down together on festive seasons, stayed over occasionally and so on and forth, despite us studying in different schools for the next few years after we grad from NASS. I'm so thankful for everything.

4) 2 days @ a Childcare centre


Was a preview of my life 4 years later! Rather terrorising, with hyperactive kids running around, trying to climb on you and testing your patience. But on the other hand, I've gained valuable experience handling these kids of different characters and temperament, and it's very rewarding and satisfying to know how much they love you and cherish your presence! Received hugs from the kids and small lil gifts from the thoughtful little ones and it further assures me that teaching is really the profession I want to be in next time. Not more than 5 people believe that my ambition since young is to be a teacher lor! hahaha :)

5) Meet up with the JC girls


A year since we met up! Have sort of neglected this friendship during my term time cause time's not on my side, didn't really meet up with them after the collection of our A level results :( Ate @ Popeye and caught up with one another. Glad that Joyce has successfully cleared her A's and Joanna's doing well now :)

6) Celebrated X'mas @ CHIJMES with the girls


The first time we broke free of our tradition and not camp at ECP playing Indian Poker hahaha! Was a cosy celebration, just Meiqi, Kylie, Huiying and yrs truly! haha. Gypsy's damn manly, she joined us a few hours after she touched down la!
Had cocktails, htht-ed, played cards and had a late/self-high/inaccurate countdown hahaha. Mini celebration with great fun!

7) Celebrated New Year with the girls


The first time we displayed "mo shui" and went to a museum for countdown! Went to F21 at 313 with gypsy first cause I heard that the outlet there is damn exciting. And it's true mansxz. Cheap for F21 stuff but still not very cheap for me. oops oops oops. But I bought a bag for school! Can tug all my barangs barangs to school liao. Then the very late us joined the rest at Asian Civilisation Museum cause there's some events going on there but we ended up doing something damn unglam at such a cultural-rich place. And the unglam thing is that we played "ji niu nai" there. HAHAHA. Can't blame us, the deejays were in their own world and we were done exploring the museum. Counted down and we were damn lucky cause we could see the fireworks clearly! :):):):):):) without having to squeeze with the crowd. heh heh X200. Played with sparklers and shared the love with some random kids who were drooling beside us hahaha. Stayed over @ Sher's new entertainment chalet, upgraded to a 4- storey private prop le lor! and her room's damn nice. Just short of a kitchen to be able to do everything in her room le. Slept for a lil while and had an impromptu housewarming buffet at her place where we gope-d quite alot of food oops!

8) K-ing with my GESL mates
It was a damn new experience for me because all the songs that they sang were English songs! :x
I've only tried singing Chinese songs whenever I go K-ing so I was quite shocked when I saw a whole list of English songs on the waiting list :/ But I still insist to choose Chinese songs and their reaction's damn funny whenever they see "Taiwan only" on the screen.

9) Kukup with my family
Pretty nice place to relax, it's a kampong-styled chalet. Damn big, just enough to house the 50 of us! (my mummy's pai du cao's friends + families + friends) Perfect view of sunset/sunrise/high tide/low tide

and when you are bored, just look out and the mudskippers will entertain you with their stunts. Not kidding mansxz, there're like 10000000 of them out there. damn fat also haha. Walked around to enjoy the scenery and air, highly appreciated cause I was going through a rough patch at that time. But the peace and serenity is probably all that's attractive, so I'll say it's a nice place to go to if you were to go for a day or two, once in every 8 years. BUT HYGIENE'S DAMN BAD! Was down with severe food poisoning and vomited like n times after dinner :(

10) Gentings with my family + sis's BF + sis's BF's friend


Was better than I imagined. Cause I am underaged (to get in casino) and I wasn't very optimistic about the attempt to smuggle me in since I've heard 101 stories about their tight security. But apparently my cao lao face + some sneaky techniques that I shall not reveal here got me in successfully! and i swear Da Xiao is damn fun! hahahaha. Made a new friend there- my sis's bf's friend. Because both of us don't quite enjoy cooping ourselves in the casino the whole day (unlike the rest of them who stayed there from 9am to 9pm! salute them srsly) and we had to settle our entertainment and meals ourselves. Poor us. and to make things worse, we had to eat cup noodles for dinner, with our hands somemore! Refer to evidence below. HAHAHA



11) Sentosa with the girls
This event can be added to my list of "My first time". Because it's the first time:-

- I stayed over at a chalet during term time. HAHAHA. and most of us had lessons the day after. - drinking so much
- drinking during a chalet
- seeing my girls drunk hahaha, don't deny!! I was rather sober i think, or i hope. haha, just that I can't walk straight anymore after Jasmine Lim Xin Yi tried to kill me with a cup of damn concentrated Chivas.
- falling down from a ladder and got myself 2 big and red 'souvenirs' on my legs

12) Many random outings with the girls!
Gym/ basketball/ shopping and many more!



And I was also a good daughter during the hols too k! I helped out with housework before I go out everyday. heh. I tend to neglect everything and everybody around me when I am studying, especially when time's often not on my side when I am schooling so I really love holidays when I can spend quality time with my friends and family. Now that a new semester has begun, it's time to go back to my books. This semester's crazier than sem 1 though I've lesser modules cause there are more essays, research paper, projects and presentations in store for me ): and I have 4 tuition kids this time. hope I won't die.


anyway, 2009 didn't end off beautifully for me, because something in my life has changed. I'm thankful that it has ever happened, sorry that it has ended. I don't know if I will ever regret taking this step but I will accept the consequences of my decision. It was a decision made with heartache, tears and sleepless nights and nobody knew what I went through because I spoke to none about it until I am stable enough to confide in the few whom I did so I don't wish to be judged about this issue when nobody knew what's going on. Didn't intend to type this out, just so happened that someone in my family pressed me for an answer about this issue when I'm blogging this entry. I know I have to update the people around me eventually, but to certain groups of people, the time's just not ripe, and it's not easy to make that move and what I really need is support, time and understanding. And my family's the one not doing it. :(
