dont look back.

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me

Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I Love You.

Jesus is the reason for the season



Take Hold.

faith is not the absence of fear, but stepping out in spite of it

I'M BACKKK!

ahh, taiwan trip has been an all together new experience
stayed in a sex parlour, cannot throw soiled toliet paper into the toilet bowl, spoke and read loads and loads of chinese
i swear my english has worsened over the past one week
i went 'how come you got so much questions har?' and 'how do you spell luggage?' nearing the end of the trip
yikes! first thing i did when i got home last night was to watch HBO. unfortunately i was stuck with some ant bully show. haha, so stupid

but hey, i had fun..
tons of shopping.. visited New Life church and got to meet new and interesting people
and i swear the food there is amazing.. bet i put on a million pounds already. ahhh

anyway, being back in singapore is great
i missed my dogs.. and my phone.. and 24/7 free internet access
ah, life is great

tons of homework to finish up though
cant believe it's gonna be 2008 soon

we're gonna be sec4s! :(

nope, still not asleep
man i'm so bored i'm blogging again and again
and now i'm hungry :(

been catching up with some of my old pals recently
it's fun to just sit around and reminisce on our primary school days

there was.. the old ij campus before renovation
man i liked it better then
there was the reallyreally long flight of stairs leading to the hall - my sister puked quite a few times on it. haha
and the porch is cool.. kids like to lunch there and risk getting knocked down by the cars. nah.. i'm only joking.
what else.. sacred heart/hut. cant remember.. you can do tons of stuff there! there was a wishing well, benches for you to study, the trophy case was there too, and there was a hop-scotch and sand pit behind.. and with the sand pit comes the.. sandman. haha
hmm.. there was a vegetable patch, eco garden, odd pond, pok science lab, haunted toilet and the chapel. hey, come to think of it, our primary school was pretty cool.

oh! and there was a stone bench at the payphone and everyone had to climb onto it before making a call home simply because we were too short!

'hello mummy? i'm having recess now! i ate blahblahblah and i've got 50cents left for today. okay bye!'
'hello mummy? i forgot to bring my recorder! how.. i'm very scared that the teacher will scold me. can you get the chauffeur to bring it down for me. please..'

haha, the kinda calls we make.. simply hilarious
oh yes, and as we got older, no one cares about remembering to bring the recorder anymore
we just go down to the bookshop to get a new one.
i think that was why i had a whole drawer full of recorders. haha

speaking of bookshop, it was a must-go for everyone in primary school
for some odd reason, everyone's just attracted to that place.. we visit it everyday
even if there was no reason for you to get something, you'll make yourself spend money there everyday without fail
be it buying an eraser, not stickers, marbles, bouncy balls, oh right.. and paper balls
and as you get older and richer, you buy more sophisticated stuff like the diy furry ball thing. haha

and there was the canteen..
store#1. drinks stall..
there was the uncle joseph and his fizzy long hair.. everyone used to say he picks up straws from the trashcan and reuses them. yuck!
but no choice, everyone continues to patronise cos it's the only drinks store around. haha
there was a huge variety of drinks, but everyone only goes for 'all mix!'-mixture of all the soft drinks they have to offer. sold cheaply at 70cents.

store#2. the green store
(haha, everyone remembers the stores according to the color of their plates)
what do they sell again? laksa,macaroni,prawn mee,chicken rice.. so on the forth
the auntie's quite nice.. and amazingly fast with serving the customers. not bad..
oh yeah, there was once.. it was chicken rice day (they've got daily specials) and this girl queuing in front of me ordered 'chicken rice without rice'. auntie was momentarily stunned, then started nagging at her. i think she said stuff like 'girl ar, you must take the rice okay. if not auntie dont know how to serve you ar.. you're like ordering hot ice kachang like that ar.. come, you take the chicken and the rice ar..'
haha, you should have seen me and a couple of my friends trying to hold back our laughter while she collected her order, feeling dejected.

store#3. snack store!
a MUST-GO. other than the usual seaweed,hello panda,polo snack,etc.. auntie sells great curry potato. and there's the drumstick priced at 70cents-90cents. mmm.. if you're too poor to order that, you can always go for the alternative: store next door, chicken wing at 50cents. equally good. plus, auntie's very nice and caring.. no one visits that store when her substitute mans the store though. haha

store#4. the orange store
sells beehoon,fried rice,fried noodles.. what else? i dont frequent that store cos the food they sell is rather oily. but hey, it's still cheap and delicious. and it's rather convenient and filling when you're rushing off to cca after school. i only get soy sauce eggs and chicken wings from there during recess. oh and the kuays are not bad too..

store#5. the blue store
everyone complains about the cleanliness of that store, but it is still one of the most popular stores around. haha. oh the irony.. i usually stay away from that store cos i'm quite particular with hygiene. but nonetheless, ate there quite a bit cos everyone eats there which makes it easier for you to find someone willing to get food for you should you go for recess late. hor fun's not bad.. not sure about the rest though. i've only eaten hor fun from there before. haha

store#6. the malay store
mmm.. i strongly recommend it. food's good.. and if you're just planning to snack, you can always get roti-john/ikan bilis. top it off with their chicken curry. it tastes heavenly. i still kinda miss it now.

haha, woah.. i must be real bored
i actually wrote a commentary on the old canteen
the canteen on the new campus now is real different though.
they've got cool imported expensive stuff and some healthy eating crap.
ah well, the kids dont know what they're missing out on. haha

what else what else!
there was the 3-bell system for recess.. first bell you freeze, second bell you start walking, and third bell everyone assembles for announcements and hymns.

and there was the old friendly dentist who retired when i was p2/3
she used to give us stickers after every visit and she always had pretty boxes for us to put our newly extracted tooth/teeth
then came the evil one whom everyone complains is darn rough. haha, never thought much about her.. she just makes me open up, look around and she goes 'mmm.. perfect. you're free to go' HAHA!
oh and everyone loves it when the dentist makes them run errands for her. it means, you get to miss lessons, running all over the place with her red clipboard and call up people to go visit the dentist. wheee.. it usually takes less than 5mins, but hey. nobody likes studying, and the duration of dental visits varies, so everyone takes their own sweet time and wander around for a bit before getting the next person down then return to class.

and there was lower primary.. it was 2 students to 1 huge table
every spelling test, there was competitive me who never takes chances on letting people copy me
so i'll lift up the flap of the book and do the test that way. and since i was a left-hander, i had to write in a very awkward fashion. there were a few times when the teacher noticed, she reprimanded my partner for taking up too much space cos she thought i had none. then she'll make my poor partner tidy up the table to create more space for me and i'll be made to put down the flap. kena bang! haha

and there was primary two..
i peed in my seat while doing a listening compre paper! haha, super embarrassing
hey, it's not my fault alright.. the teacher was darn fierce and i figured she wont let me to the toilet so i just sat there and tried very very hard to control myself
and my friends were so dumb. i walked around in a wet pinafore after the paper, and when asked what happened to me, i simply went 'oh, i spilled water on myself' and everyone believed! that was until someone found my chair flooded. HAHAHA
oh and the worse thing was. we had to sit for the penmanship paper right after listening compre. so the teacher didnt have enough time to go get a new set of uniform for me to change into. and i had to sit for the paper with only my panties on. ahhhh.. funniest day of my life. i bet the teacher was mighty freaked out by me.
my sister would have remember that day. i had to stay back for higher chinese after school, and while i was proceeding to the canteen with the stinky pinafore held in my hand, i bumped into my sister. told her everything and tried persuading her to help me bring it home. i swear she wanted to punch me in the face.

primary one!
i think it was my first time taking an exam and we had to write a 120word compo. upon completion, i picked up my pencil and started counting the alphabets instead of the words. man was i delighted when i reached the 120th letter and i was only halfway through the compo. haha! i think the teacher saw me and she announced to the class 'girls, when you count the words for your composition, do remember a word is the whole chunk of alphabets, not a letter by itself'
if you're thinking of laughing at me now, think twice
i heard geok and her friend didnt listen out for instructions to hand in their testpapers, so they brought it home and failed that paper. haha

oh right, and my lower primary bestfriend was toh kit yee
man we were inseperable. if you needa look for kityee, look out for evan.. look for evan, look out for kityee! see, it's that simple. haha
what did we used to do? hmm.. we'll call up each other after school everyday and chat for hours on the phone. when we've got nothing to talk about, we'll start singing. and it was always the same two songs! the school song, and the national anthem. haha, so loser.. oh and we always recite the chinese and english pledge after singing the national anthem.
oh and the interesting part was, kityee's birthday is one day before mine! and we were bestfriends. haha.
everytime we fought she'll go 'hey! you better listen to me.. i'm older than you alright!'
and i'll reply 'it's only a day! not counted!'
everyone else always mix up our birthdays and give us presents on the wrong dates. haha

then there was p4
topped the class in p3 and got transferred to 4rose
till now no one believes that i was in 4rose cos it was the second best class
hey! i'm smart alright! my report book can prove it! grrr..
anyway, p4 was terrible.. since i was the only one from 3violet, i didnt have any friends :(
i think i took more than 3months before i finally joined a clique.
oh and p4's the year when you participate in CCAs aint it! i joined book club! hahaha.. cos i wanted to play with the scanner thing. man i thought it was so cool la.. and i was made library prefect at the end of the year
then the club started making us do book reviews, and i grew bored of it so i transferred to joyful vanguard
it's amazing no one knows what it is. but it's fine.. i didnt do anything there anyway
just went to school on saturdays, we sang loads of hymns and played games, and we head home!
i think it was supposed to be a catholic version of scouts or something. haha

last two years of my primary school life was darn chaotic
my classmates were crazy and hyper noisy! i think we were one of the lower end classes huh
no idea.. it was the best two years of my life though
we were the super corrupted class.. brought handphones to school, ate in class, defied the teachers, copied homework, so on and forth
speaking of copying homework, our class was always super busy in the mornings
everyone goes to school early to copy. and someone thought it was a great way to make money and started renting their homework for 50cents or something.
i've got a feeling it was betina, cos that crazy person used to sell used stationary to the lower primary and con them of their money. haha
nonetheless. i always thought she's darn cool. i made her mum give me an hour drive home once, cos i didnt know the way. haha
and there was the class band. comprising of yours truly, lingyu, cheryl, olga, ruth, samantha tan, freda, and betina. what was our name again? oh right! 'wateva' haha!
hey we were cool alright.. performed at grad tea, and at ben chua's church and the band used to come to my place to jam, and yes, disturb my maids with the intercom.
and i'll never forget my p5/6 buddies.. cheryl,lingyu,alex,elizabeth lee,kerlene,sherry,gillian.. for all the fun we had, and for pushing me to thrash kimberly and hashisa in every test there was. special thanks to cheryl for the latter.. she never fails to make lingyu and i study everytime we hang out at her place after school.

hey, we should serious organise a class gathering soon
and we can invite ah ho along! whee~

alright, it's 0637 now and i'm still wide awake
nose is still stuffy, doubt i can get any sleep if i crawl into bed now,
so.. let's continue blogging! haha

nah.. i've gotta give my readers a break too

ahhh, i've got no idea why i'm getting a panic attack now
but urgh!

so many things, so little time! :(

confidence: no sense of inferiority, inadequacy, apprehension

BANG BANG BANG! who died?

pangsai.. i just realized that i've got readers like liz who refers 'bang' to humping
IT'S NOT K!

ah well, the construction work going on over at my place is driving everyone nuts
crazy people start work at 7am and hey.. it serves as a very effective alarm clock
though, mich and i refused to budge and we continue to sleep in.. but it's still irritating

oh, and i had to miss cell today cos the government decided to build a moat around my house and we cant get out
alright, not a moat.. but they did take out an entire piece of land from the driveway and there you have it.. no one gets in, or out of the house
it was really quite funny, dad was turned away from his own home and everyone else thought mich and i were crazy when we told them we cant get out of our own house

oh, dad brought home a new member of the family.. a jack russell
though he claims that he's just staying for a week, everyone else knows that it'll definitely be longer than that.. ha
oh well.. mich named him oreo
he's crazy. runs around the house like a crazy rabbit and chews on people's arms.
my two other pups are scared of him. HAHA!

sunday.
was being pretty grouchy in the morning,
nose was stuffy and i couldnt find my voice
sorry Gladys my girl for dao-ing you.. i just couldnt speak
oh well, it did get better in the noon.. and i started screaming my head off
wheee~

camp briefing after service.. turns out i couldnt go after all
oh wait, i knew that months ago. but hey.. they also said 'STRICTLY NO SMOKING ON THE PREMISES'
which gives me another reason to not turn up
cant help it if i'm smokin' eh..
alright kat.. i know. lousy joke. but i still like it alright. grr

travelled down to vivocity for 'yum yum mmm i like' food event after that
the event turned out great. jacq is a very odd observer
she tells me things like people's toes sticking out of their slippers, and this woman wearing thongs. HAHA
oh well, it was fun being a game master with her :D
made the participants run around looking for passer-bys to do the hokey pokey to
and uh, yeah.. make them write the event's name to us with their butts

it was also then when i realized that kids these days are crazy
i've got odd little boys trying to bargain for more points from me cos i know their sister/friends'

'ehh.. you're my sister's good friend leh. c'mon, more points! if not, i'll tell her about you. alright, you're not giving it to me eh, i'll call her right now!' -moen.
'c'mon.. more points! if not i'll tell bryan about you and you'll be no.2! muahaha' -joshua
'alright, i'm calling my sister now!' -joshua

hahaha, no little boys.. it doesnt work on me :D

oh yes, and tons of people started doubting my spelling capabilities just cos i kept repeating the letter 'm'
hey! there ARE that many 'm's alright..
Y-U-M-Y-U-M-M-M-M-I-L-I-K-E-.-.-.
i took part in spelling bee! you can trust me!

and of cos, the day ended with little boys running through my bag and yes. stealing my shoes, and chain.
oh well, kids are kids..

i'm beat. yawn

happy birthday jo in advance jo.
