bought "
The Last Lecture" last saturday. and my biggest woodcraft set - the beijing si he yuan. and some pen and some shirt.
i won't be able to construct the set until i've bought a piece of land at home to house the set.
accompanied grandma to SNEC today. the (super dao and has serious attitude problem) doctor (i remember the name - joy chang) was kinda rude. even gu ma felt it. i felt that she was half-heartedly doing a check on grandma's eyes. crazy. serious attitude problem, and call herself a
"doctor". yuck.
grandma's eyes were ok, the same as before. we're quite relieved that grandma's eyes were still the same.
went to have lunch at some vegetarian restaurant in chinatown. i was very impressed by the wide variety of vegetarian dishes available. we ordered 3 dishes, some toufu thing and some sweet and sour "so-called pork" and the yam ring. my favourite was the sweet and sour dish. ((: grandma was pretty happy to eat at this renowned restaurant. gu ma did film some bits when we were having lunch. i'll probabaly post it if i can get the clips from gu ma. anw, the total bill went up to $30++, which gu ma kindly settle the bill.
grandma was tired coming to the end of the trip and she napped while we were in the cab on the way home. i nearly fell asleep too. i can't believe i was that tired.
amazed by the remains of my enegry, i bathed the smelly ocean. and then sweeped and mopped the floor after that.
showered and had dinner and am blogging now.
i've not been sleeping well for the past few days (nearly a week). i hope to be able to sleep well soon. gracious. i can't stand lying in bed for more than an hour, before i actually fall asleep and getting up (several times) in the middle of the night and staying awake for at least 20 mins everytime, before being able to sleep again and waking up in the morning to feel that my eyes are sore and swollen, and a headache that never fails to clear for the entire day.
what the hell is wrong man. grr.
grandma will be having a bone scan on this coming friday. and i think it's best if i accompanny grandma on friday, just like today.
oh, now i'm lost. i just remembered i'm still waiting for jia min's reply if we're having lunch together on friday.
my grandma is definitely more important. but my primary school friends are so hard to date. what to do?...
anw, i hope i didn't hear what i thought i heard and nearly stumbled upon last night.
the 3 cries took my heart to my lips and my mind out of my head.
i feel sick speaking to the two of them for the whole of today. i hope the cries would fade as time and days pass.
i feel so disgusted.
:x
the god gave me a crazy daddy on this very day.
but my poor daddy has parade on his birthday. and bad news, he's not coming back to
join us for dinner tonight.
he's super hard working and got his promotion sometime in july.
he's a good superior.
he's got gold for his ippt with lots of determination.
he's so vain and cannot stop dancing around.
he's favourite song (as of now) is pocketful of sunshine - he starts dancing
whenever he hears this song.
he's the one that complains about me being fat half the time and feeding me with
good food with the other half.
he's taught me lots of things.
he's a good listener and gives good advice.
he's given me lots of his genes. (except for those dancing around bits.)
he's a lot of trouble on this very day, cos we don't know what presents to give
him.
he's the one who suck-up to mummy during dinner almost every day.
he's quite lame and brings much life to the house when he's ok.
he's crappy and has lots of nonsense.
nevertheless, we love him for all his nonsense.
because,
he loves my mummy.
hahas.
wish my hiao hiao daddy a very happy birthday.hope he be healthy, happy and love my mummy always (i'm sure he will.)
hahas.
there u are marching away, and here we are cracking our brains again - what
surprise should we give you on this very day?
how about baking a big chocolate cake?? :p
timetable's out. and it's looking good. slack enough, just my style. hahas.
meanwhile, i hope to get a new bagpack before sem starts. i dun wna a broken back after carrying 2kg ++ on a daily basis.
super guilty about not going for guitar. hai. i'm feeling super hopeless recently. and restless.
bored.
bored.
bored.
rot.
rot.
rot.
i'm missing my idol again. pain in the fan.
sigh.
the new sofa is here. yea. great stuff.
gpa's out. it's crap. i couldn't even get an A for cats and math. i deserve to die man. but amazingly, bizca was a B, not a C. econs was no doubt, the lecturer was nice enough not to fail me. a C for that. and the best surprise, wp was an A. wow. so it went like 1 A, 2 B+, 2 B and 1 C+. i get to have all the different grades again. duhh. i guessed i could have done much better. i must pull up my gpa to a 3.5 or better. i wouldn't wna my uni dream to burst in my own hands. told quite a few pp bout my results. the usual gu ma, gu jie and biao ge thinks that i've done well. and i think gu ma and gu jie in particular feel super glad bout my results. they said "well done". but for those who really know me - mummy, daddy, sir edmund, mdm, and myself, thought there was room for improvement and that i had the "potential to do much better". great.
daddy went to some fishing and ulu place in bintan with his secondary school mates over the weekend. he kinda dreaded it there, he said. well, i think he's super not used to going overseas without his three princesses and his queen. err. we were worrying bout him half the time on saturday, cos he didnt call home at all. "this stupid fat man" (as gu jie said) was brilliantly intelligent. he crazily decided to switch off his phone, for dno what reason. and hence he didnt receive any sms until sunday morning. mummy couldnt stand it anymore and decided to do something to contact the fat man. err, tedious job ar. mummy had to call another uncle's wife, to realise that there was network over at daddy's area, then called up M1 again to double check if auto roaming for daddy was activated and finally, sms the another uncle - to ask daddy to activate the auto roam. just minutes after the sms was sent out, daddy called. efficiency. apparently when daddy saw mummy's sms on his friend's phone, he JUMPED up and rushed to get his freaking phone. trust daddy for the most ridiculous things on earth. uhh.
anw, he's back from that kelong place and he has vowed that he'll never be going to that place again. this vain man asked if we missed him when he was overseas. oh freak, play along with it and agree that we missed him, at least he can feel that he is a bit important at home. hahahas. i think i was more worried bout his safety when he was overseas. yea.
new update on the hamsters. i got the two rats a wheel. and to prevent all the jealousy and mummy's reluctance to get ocean wheat-free, corn-flour-free tibits, i again spared some money to get 2 vege sticks and some fishy snack for my darling. that sickening boy must seriously treat me better and love me more. hahas. even daddy is jealous of him now. :x
called up sony to "complain" about my phone. right after the repair and it refuses to turn on on the second day. great. i was more than just fed up. and the dumb guy at sony customer service said something which was so so so idiotic. he asked, "erm, so what can i do for you?" omg! i called to complain about the problem with my phone and that the bloody problem persisted after 2 times of useless servicing and he still had the freaking mind to ask "what can i do for you". i shot back at him, "you should be the one giving me the solution, not the other way round!" woah. noob. anw, i think this statement left him a little lost for words. he got toh guan to call me back within 15 mins, which was pretty efficient. err, there's this guy called jason at toh guan repair centre. he told me immediately that he'll be changing the entire motherboard of the phone (seriously, the repair centre should have done this earlier! wasted dno how many trips of my bus fares!) but the bad news was that i have to go down again to send the phone in for repair. i went like "what?! i have to go down again?!" at least this jason guy had some brains and he arranged for some dno-who-or-wad people to collect the phone. so the guy came today. got me to sign some paper and the guy just left with the phone in his hand, without any plastic or containers or protection for the phone. freak. talk about proper courier service. see? it's crap. i wonder how many more scratches would appear on my phone. if my phone still refuse to work properly after this time round's service, i'm gonna make sure sony give me a good explanation what the hell is happening and a solution to solve this freaking problem. grrr.
slacking crazily at home. wanna record what i've been doing so far at home daily. wake up around 8 plus or 9 plus every morning. have some breakfast, read the papers and use the com for a while. then i start on the biggest project of the day - sweep, vaccuum and mop the floor. things are done in about half an hour. then it's back to solitare on my com, or sometimes a bit of tv or looking after ah boy. usually around 12noon, i'll help mum prepare lunch (when she cooks). mummmy will leave house to fetch yy around 12.40pm. then i'll be back on the com again for 45 mins (until she gets back) and have lunch together with mummy and yy. after lunch, i'll help around the house, err, folding clothes, usually i'll be super enthu bout planning the night's dinner. if there aren't any dishes, i'll encourage mummy to go grab some stuff from ntuc to cook. yea. if there's seriously nothing to do, i'll be back on my woodcraft toys. then around 4 plus 5, i'll help mummy prepare dinner. it's the best part of the day. it's fun cooking and disturbing mummy. i think it helps to ligthen the stressful bit when cooking. things seem to be done much faster with me around, mummy says.
school starts in about 3 weeks (18 days). err, almost everyone is preparing for exams or is having exams. i'm just so bored. looking forward to friday. and the weekends. i hope i'll be able to get to escape somehow. hahas.
miss the pae friends - eileen, ruiqi, yuqi, jieling, chengyun, weikai, siva, gabriel and everybody. gosh. i hope to be able to meet up with the ladies real soon. looks like eileen and i are going on a date this friday, if we cant get anybody else. err, a "date" (like how eileen says it) sounds pretty ........
i wna get my lego set! when i'm freaking broke. uhh. -.-
great news to share.
my two hamsters passed the test and they're both living happily together in the same tank. yes! the first 15 minutes was a great worry for mum and i. i was so afraid that the two of them would fight and result in injuries. thank goodness nothing of that sort happened. the two merely made squeaking sounds when their whiskers touched. weird way their minds work. one would never fail to disturb the other when it's sleeping, be it nibbling the ears or scratching the head. they fight when it's feeding time, so it's a lesson learnt to fill both bowls with food at the same time. the two never fail to drink from the other's bottle (for whatever reason - i think it's lovely that they're sharing saliva.) such contentment to get to put two animals back together again after separation for more than a year. i feel like a great mama suddenly. hahahas. poor ocean looks on while we tended to the hamsters. as usual, ocean gets jealous when our attention is on the hamsters. funny way this dog's mind works. he doesn't give a damn when u call him or give him attention, but when he realises that ur attention is somewhere else, jealousy starts. silent war to him simply means deliberately urinating at the borders of the papers or drinking his own urine or stepping on his own shit after he's done with his biggie. see? the only way is to calm him down immediately after caring for the hamsters. bribe the dog with treats, hug him, talk to him, make him sit next to you, stroke him, rub his tummy that should do the trick.even pets get jealous. what is the world becoming of? omg.
friday was a busy day. left house at 10.30 and went to meet the iia people at np. the guys were later than i was, when i thought i was late. err. anw, the exhibition kinda got choked up at the start. so we had no choice but to cab back to nh (with orion and justine) to get all the materials that we need.
(back at nh) it's good to be back, but not when we were rushing around to get things. freaky. justine went to the bookshop to get those cellophane papers and blu tack while i went to the office to get the long pants and orion went back to the ds (to get the bamboos and mops) and the classroom (to get the tablets). great stuff happened at the office. felt so weird walking around the office with the principal. almost everyone else in the office was staring at me the whole time. it kinda sends people the wrong message seriously. anw, had this picture taken with mr foo (thanks to mr chia). he's still on about the coffin business. i doubt i can ever get away from it. omg.
flew back to np when we finally got everything ready. cab fare to and fro cost about $12. gosh. look at how the cab fares climb. nh was the last to get the booths set up. (a bit malu lar) the booth was almost empty except the two charts (from gib's team) and the one chart (from leechen's team). plus my two materpieces and the prototypes. of cos, there was still the cellophane papers (blue and yellow). imagine if mrs ong was around, i'm somehow sure that this is definitely not her standard. anw, things got better as time passed by. i was really impressed with how the guys worked their way showcasing their ideas to the public. they were confident enough and weren't shy about what they had to do or say. compared to what i did in sec 1, i'm totally speechless (i didn't dare to say anything then and had to leave it all to huifen to do tha talking - guilty).
leechen, yuheng and i went to pack lunch for the whole team. 4 cutlets and 3 chips. total was $23. sorry to justine. i had no idea that u couldn't take chilli, i'll rmb it the next time. i got myself some jap food. finally got to eat can 1's jap food. there was NO queue. hahas. i'll never get to do this during school days.
played dj max on leechen's psp. and he taught me how to set up o2 mania. thanks alot to him really.i guess i'm super noob. i've still yet to break leechen's record of 99.7% (i'm still at 96.5%
only). lousy me.
things ended and we packed the heavy items into the can and went back to nh again with orion and justine. orion paid for the cab fare. hopefully we can get the claim, else poor orion, it's not fair to let him pay for the trip lar.
mrs. lim ls helped us open up the studio and we chucked everything in there and slammed the door shut. thanks mrs. lim.
saw yaozhong and nick and we walked around for a while. nh was celebrating mid autumn on friday night. we talked for a while and i got some updates about the teachers, who was leaving and who wasn't (i'm seriously so outdated).
mdm came with her kids around 7pm. we played catching at the amphitheatre and walked around the stalls after that. i should have about that "stop animal abuse" badge and stick it onto my bag or somewhere (for all you know, people might reckon i'm some animal or something and they would stop abusing me.). i didn't buy anything from the stalls, since i didn't feel like eating anything. plus the fact that buying the items would probably create more unwanted rubbish on my table.i'm not saying that those items they sell are rubbish (mind you), but i don't see any need or despo cravings for them. xq got some princess smarties thingy and a really pretty pen and a key chain dog. kq got his dino egg, which i proudly thought him to hide between two pillows and he actually believed it, gosh (then it was mdm's face who changed - imagine hiding chocolates in between pillows, it's every mother's nightmare). went back to the staff room. the three of us played with the lego track and the brown cart. and mdm was telling her girl not to bully me almost the whole time when we were playing. ahhahas.i was pretty amazed at how imaginative i was (seriously!). err, we started off with some gradient on the track, cos there was an extra lego piece attached. the next level was to make use of the stack of worksheets at the edge of the desk. great. the cart was still moving on the track. next, we added a calculator. and the cart was still on the track. (yeah!) then i thought that things had to be more challenging. so i told xq to put one end of the track up to the organizer box thingy on the desk. this was awesome! the cart flew down the track in record time, flew past the table edge and crashed onto the ground! fabulous. we went "oops" and fixed everything back. and then we went for yet another round using the gradients. by the time we were done, mdm was staring at us. we were obviously making so much noise in the staff room and mdm had to apologise to mrs. lim at about the noise. when the track and the cart started to bore us, lightning stuck (in my brain). ahoy people, make use of the dino egg. this huge egg was just so fun! it's so wobbly and we had a hard time ensuring that it stayed on the track while it's rolling its way down. the best part was when the track was on the organizer box thingy and the egg refused to roll down. cos xq was holding the pathetic egg with her finger. goodness. she was half covering her ears and ky was covering his ears with both his hands. the egg just stood there, waiting for it's fate. when xq finally let go, for some reason which i don't know what, i think we started shouting ad yelling. and then i heard ms loy say something like "wow, tengteng can really play man." gosh. i think i lost the image then. but then, i still love playing this way.
i guess i can never play in this manner at home. firstly, erjie and yy are way off the age to play this way. secondly, i doubt msy or mnk or mnk would ever play such things. lastly, i definitley wouldn't play in this way with sm, cos i have to be the one in control. and i seriously doubt i can play in this way with biao ge. so.. yea. period.
anw, the track finally fell off the table. xq and kj were both staring at me. i went saying "err.. oops. we have to fix it somehow." mdm immediately turned to look at me, "u, can seriously forget about fixing the track. u have no talent in this lar." thanks ar mdm. hai. i like lego, please. if i have sufficient funds, i reckon that my entire room would be filled with lego toys and buildings. we managed to fix the track in the end. thanks to me. told u i was talented. -.-
xq got bored after a while and for dno wad reason, she asked me to take her down to get a lantern. so we went down to get her lantern. we were lucky to have got the last lantern, since there weren't any more sticks to go with the lanterns. phew. i led the way and took a longer and darker route in order to enjoy the brightly lit candle within the lantern. xq was pretty scared at first, but after some assurance, she started to enjoy the walk behind the classrooms. i did tell her some things about myself and she was very amazed to realise that i wasn't studying at nh anymore. and i found out that we were both afraid of lizards and roaches. wonderful way the young mind work. when we got back to the parade square, xq begged for me to take her for the second round. i was pretty ok with it. but since she said that she had wanted to see who my sister was, we waited for a while at the parade square for erjie to appear. too bad while waiting really. mdm came round the canteen and saw us. well, it was late and it was time to go home. xq very reluctantly made her way up to the staff room. we did a little compromise and she did try her very best to extinguish the flame. in the end, she had no choice but to ask me for help to blow out the flame.
when we were about to leave, xq asked me a really interesting question, "can we do this again next time?" i was a little lost for words, but i managed to say yes. and she asked me again, "will you be here next year?" err. i told her that i would definitely be there if she'd ask for me to come. and then she asked again, "but.. i don't have your number, how do i call you?" hahahas. "mummy has. you can ask mummy to call me. (smiles)" and there she asked again, "what if you are busy and you have something on that day and you can't come?" omg. once again i assured her that i'd be there as long as she called me and i told her to call me in advance, so that i would leave next year's mid autumn day free - for her. (smiles)
while we were walking along the corridoors along the staff room, mdm suddenly stopped and went "oh shit!" then she said she left her phone in the toilet. great. so i went to get her boy, who was waiting at the stairs. ky and i walked back to the staff room. i was hesistant to go into the staff room, since the staff toilet was nowhere near mdm's table. then ky insisted to go to his mummy's table. ok, fine. i followed him to mdm's table and surprise! mdm was standing at her table. i was kinda blur, and couldn't help it but asked, "mdm, DEFINE TOILET."we burst out into fits of laughter. goodness.
we parted at the foyer. i could tell that xq was looking disappointed that it was time to go home. sighs. so mdm left with her kids while i hanged around the foyer, waiting for erjie. come to think of it, i should have walked mdm and her kids to the gate or something. well..
anw, i seriously had a whale of a time myself. i can't believe that i've had so much fun and enjoyment and contentment all in just 2 hours. wow.
i can't wait to have a chance to play with xq and ky again. gosh. may the chance come soon...
(yes! i managed to finish typing this horribly long post!)
flu. cough. sorethroat. nearly fever.
spent my last 3 days feasting on medicine, wrapping wantons and choking on my own saliva. rawr. my throat still hurts quite badly thou. -.-
i was supposed to have gone for class chalet on monday. freak. i think i missed out on quite a bit of stuff. i had so badly wanted to go to escape and yea, bbq. i wna eat those satays. anw, my apologies to the peeps (who went for the chalet): my falling ill wasn't intentional. i would seriously prefer to be outdoors than having to rot in bed with a terrible body ache and headache. grr.
however, judging from my appetite, i seriously doubt if i'm even ill. i can easily gobble down a pack of bread and feel hungry within an hour. i ate double the amount of what i usually eat for dinner. i can take lunch just an hour after i have a heavy breakfast. and good news, the body mass still intact. (winks.)
anw, i was smart enough to have completed one booth design before the virus attacked me. here's gibson's booth design.
the sketch of the flats..
mission accomplished. great work on 2 mahjong papers.
i'm currently working on the second one, which would supposedly be leechen's booth design. i've got no pictures of it yet, but i'll post it as soon as i can get a good idea on what i'm trying to do. ocean excuse me. my darling has been sleeping on the paper once i walk away to get something. he thinks he owns everything that i'm doing. -.-
mdm fell ill and she wasn't in school today. and "oops" she forgot about me needing that big big compass for leechen's booth design. went up to mr liu's table and hunted for the big big yellow compass. borrowed 2 compasses, just in case 1 broke down. anw, according to mrs tan (the math one) most of the compasses were broken. so i found it amusing that i managed to find 2 working compasses. brilliant me.
hadley's kinda upset over the iia stuff (so am i). i guess the groups aren't really super enthu about the exhibition this friday. so... anw, i'm working hard. yes. orion said he owes me lunch. leechen has done his payback by giving me o2mania (which i'm still trying to figure out how to play - i think i have to ask him for help soon - hai - wad a noob). i hate reading chinese language the arabic way. ewww.
on a happier note, my desktop is done. but alibaba did the wrong kinda magic and caused us to lose all the files in D drive (including all our family photos-freak!!!). this man must have pressed the wrong key while he was formatting and he (brilliantly) puts the blame on me saying that "when you a.. reformat-tsh ar.. you did a.. the something wr-long larr. you go reformatt the D drrive instead lar.." well done alibaba. points the finger at others. lucky i'm not that stupid. and thankfully mummy and daddy believes me. oh-mi-tuo-fuo.
i'm not looking forward to waking up in the morning to choke on my saliva and swallowing my phlegm. neither can i get a good night's sleep when i can't stop coughing once my head hits the pillow.
will all the yucky stuff go away soon??
i wna eat some good food!
sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, folding clothes (and sometimes) ironing have all become my daily routine. i'm ensuring that i finish all housework in the morning or before i go out during the day.
anw, i think my desktop is seriously wrecked. something must have been wrong in the first place. it's not the first time that something has been wrong with my desktop. i've officially said goodbye to my desktop. perhaps, i'll see it in hell. alibaba should be coming to pick it up sometime today or tmr, and perhaps he'll do some magic to it and make it come alive or something. of cos, i hope that alibaba uses his most powerful magic, cos it's kinda ridiculous to buy another pc at this point (when comex is actually OVER.)
sent my stupid phone for repair (for the SECOND time in THREE months). rubbish. lousy phone. i dun care what sony does to my phone, as long as my phone and m2 card comes back in one piece and that the phone stops restarting itself on me, i'll be happy and contented.
njrc was held yesterday. didn't really do anything much there, other than helping to buy lunch, eating my own lunch, reading the last lecture, boosting bok's morale to study physics and watch typical korean drama. hahas, 3 cheers to the McSpicy Team - khleng, guan, jiang, bok and me ((: 1 of the team was in the top 10 for yesterday's competition. great job! only if our inno friends knew that we were cheering for them like crazy at the stands. hahas. jiang was typing: " WEI YANG JIAYOU" in caps on word doc. and he had to keep changing names cos the teams kept sending different people out. lol.
i've got this sudden urge to throw away my tablet right now. god crazy thing. after i close microsoft powerpoint successfully, it prompts me this message: "Microsoft PowerPoint has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." or "Microsoft PowerPoint is restarting..." the same thing happened when i closed microsoft word doc. "Microsoft Word Document has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." rubbish. then now windows prompts me for an update, when everything else on the tablet is already up-to-date. mad mad mad. the next time round, i'll buy just a normal laptop, no tablets-since the power consumption is inhumanely high, no need for additional functions. the more functions, the worse things will get. and good news, the tablet's bluetooth is apparently down. hip hip hooray! -.-
currently devoting my time to help the iia teams on their presentation next friday. it's super rush for me. i hope i can make it. there's booth design, plus the charts and the little A4 leaflets. great. i hope things will run smoothly. chalet's next week from monday to wednesday. i'll probably head back to nh on wed right after the chalet provided the guards let me in when i'm in sandals. poof. there's still alot of work. i wonder how the idea of painting the flats and bamboos would turn out. i seriously hope i don't mess things up. leechen or yuheng or guoyao, if ur are reading this, please send me ur grp's proposals asap. ty.
to those gg for chalet frm my class, i've already sent out an sms. erm, i'll keep u guys updated right here. can ya guys lemme knw whose bringing what games, before junwei has some very crazy suggestions?? ((:
to jean (since u've asked who else's going): me, u, meixiu, teeli (will join us when she finishes work at bout 10pm), amanda, yanting, junwei, alfred (will join us on the second day at some time which i forgot :x), larry and wenfa (will try to join us on tuesday). and mayb nadiah. not forgetting ms goh huiling who has failed to "confirm with me next week". hahas ((:
