must-blog horse riding lesson of my life! omgomgomg.
i freaking fell off a horse today! freaking fun!
(you probably think im nuts now) but it's not like i was hurt. good experience wad. and even if i were hurt, it's not like i hit my elbow and the bone came jutting out. that would be the epic pain of my life.
today, i rode on another horse called Fonzi. actually, the picts of all the horses are here:
http://www.turfclub.com.sg/Default.aspx?tabid=389 can see all the horses. my first horse, Danny. and then Rocket, Speargrass, Annabel.
ok. then, before the lesson started, i was wondering if i could get off the lease. the instructor today was James and he said not just yet. because Fonzi is out of season. i dont quite understand what it meant but i didnt really ask.
today's lesson was awesome, despite the fall. we did a lot more. normally the lesson was really slow and i could only trot twice, and the rest of the time i would just be walking in rectangles outlining the arena. but today, we started off trotting in a circle and then go large, which means to outline the arena and 'go rectangle'. and then walking in serpentine, or you could also call it 'loops'. and then trotting in serpentine. and then after that,
yay! unclipped the horse. so i was supposed to trot in a circle and then go large without the lease on. and at first it was going really, really well. just that i cant get the momentum if i have to kick Fonzi while doing the rising trot. maybe i need to be faster. 4 beats, rise, sit, rise, sit+kick. that would be.. ok. gotta get used to it. but i have to kick white doing the rising trot, because the reins are constantly pulling back on the horse. so it's slowing down with every few steps.
ok, this is the part where i fall. so i completed the circle, and i went large once. and all of a sudden,
Fonzi started cantering. i was at a loss, and unaware of what's happening. totally mentally unprepared and physically unprepared. dont know how to keep balance. so uncontrollably, maybe i was clinging for my life or whatever. i leaned forward, attempting to keep my balance. big fail LOL. because i heard from James that 1 of my heels 'tickled' Fonzi. and then Fonzi tilted? and i lost balance? i couldnt hold onto the reins. cant control Fonzi. and then i roll-fall off towards the right. felt some impact on my head. most likely hit my head. and for a moment i was on the floor, motionless. i was not unconscious, my brain was stunned or momentarily not functioning because it hurt so bad. and then my body was immobilized so i couldnt get up.
but once my brain regained its functions, i stood up and got back on Fonzi with the help of the instructor. somehow, i just didnt have the strength to get back on the high horse, so he gave me a leg-up. 1st time! haha. well, there's a first for everything. like, 1st time i dismounted i fell. that was pure noob. but this time round is a harder fall. but hey, the more you fall, the more you learn, right? so i got back on Fonzi and trotted another rectangle round with the lease on this time, to ensure Fonzi doesnt run off again. and then end of lesson.
so fun! and my "lessonmates" said it was scary to even watch. but hey, no harm done. even though my arms were shaking like a leaf, and my left vision couldnt seem to focus. but after a while it was all good. and my brain was throbbing for awhile. but as long as i dont vomit, it means i dont have a concussion or whatever. but i think my head will throb pretty hard whenever i look down. so which means.. picking up shuttlecocks on monday is going to be a bigger chore than ever.
my pants and my shirt were completely soiled too. at least i didnt fall on horse faeces. that would suck. and thinking back now, what did 'out of season' mean anyway? but other than that little run-off, Fonzi's a really obedient horse. better than Annabel. i had to kick really hard for Annabel. but Fonzi reacts to my normal kick. Speargrass was still the best. haha. but i miss Rocket the most! like hello, how many times have i rode on Rocket? will i get to ride him next week?
looking forward to it already. lesson 7 has been fun (:

i dont actually want to blog anymore about the incident. but things are fine now. though it took me awhile to resume to my "normal mode". but how can anyone expect things to be just the way they were after stuff happen? so yea. actually it was fine about, 1 week ago or something? i am just too lazy to blog.
now, im blogging because, i guess i should document the things that made left an impression this week..
ok. it's kind of hard to remember. i dont remember anything that happened on monday, or tuesday. i mean, the things that i remember, i dont know what day they happened on. so forget it.
i just remember miss van dijk taking off my shoes because i didnt bring IH notes. i mean, who does that? at first i didnt mind. like, when it was happening i didnt mind. but thinking back now, it makes me feel irritated. dont know why.
and then there was the taptap frenzy. the group that i sit with.. or rather just keye cheng and cheryl? more of keye cheng. i think she's addicted to taptap. then i lend her play during class. and i have been desperately trying to make lots of extreme songs 100%. i made keep up - hyper crush 100% last night. high score of 1.3mil with streak of 1214!!! happy~ there are some songs which i have failed to make 100%, but are feasible. like, bulletproof - la roux. and 1 more which i cant remember the name. but if i practice those songs as mad as i practiced with the other song, i think i can perfect them.
but who cares, it's just taptap. i play it when im bored. speaking of 'when im bored', i havent finished my 1000 piece jigsaw. i have to say, maybe it's because i dont have a lot of time on my hands, that's why i dont even bother to put in bits of time like 5minutes or 10minutes. i have to put in hours at a time, and not minutes. so the counter stopped at about 6 days. and the puzzle is actually half-done. i wonder when will i finish it.
what other things have left an impression? i started watching chnl8 chinese drama again. dont know why. maybe because there's a guy who acts as a japanese character? or maybe because the advertisement looked amusing. i know i watch the 7pm one because of the actor who acted in
I Not Stupid Too and
Table of Glory. maybe im just mad or whatever.
and.. last sunday, i baked a sponge cake with my mom. and also baked 2 jars of. you know the white, melty, fluffy-ish biscuit that is always seen during chinese new year? ya. whatever it's called. did a lot of baking. and actually i wish the sponge cake was softer. but it's still good for a first try!
last but not least, horse riding lesson 6!!
sad to say, it was as boring as last week's. but i did learn something new. duh. i always find something new to learn. and that is the steering!!! and i rode on a different horse this week. she's called Annabel and she's dark brown. not as tall as Rocket. but she trots really fast. somehow she likes to lick her left knee. or maybe she wasnt licking. but i duno, i just have to pull her back whenever she does that. she's less smooth than Rocket. im not sure why she stops trotting halfway. she's also less sensitive because i had to kick her real hard before she got going. whereas with Rocket, a squeeze will do. Annabel's like, more auburn brown i think, and Rocket is really dark brown. i like Rocket better because i find him easier to control, but in general, i like horses, so it's ok. hahaha.
hopefully next week i'll get full control of the steering. and maybe improve in the rising trot?
okay. oh yes. 1 more thing that left an impression. sims 3!!! it's super fun once you get used to it. there are lots of changes. but i find these changes for the better. and i dont miss any of the old ways. the new ways of sims are all good.
okay. i should probably shower and then do homework? but im not in the homework mood again. but i cant play sims 3 now. it doesnt work on my comp. not sure why, the requirements seem to fit.

hahaha. i got my 4th lesson today. and guess what! i really got Rocket as my horse today. and yay, i mounted him in 1 try. today's lesson was pretty much the same as the previous lesson. but i think i did better this time.. definitely developing some leg muscles.. and learning to steer while trotting. sometimes i concentrate too much on trotting and i forget to steer.. haha.
i went to NAFA open house today at first. i like both interior design and fashion design. but im still thinking about music. do i want to start learning music again? when i was primary 3 i was just too impatient and lazy to carry on with learning piano. but now that im sec 3, i feel like i want to take it up again.. but my schedule is already really packed. like, monday and wednesday, there is AEP until 4pm+. then then on tuesday, i will have math tuition. normally i will have, but my tutor is going somewhere this week and so i will be skipping 1 lesson. thursday is supposedly CCA, if i dont skip it. and then for 2 weeks, i will have history tuition on thursday. somehow friday is a free day. initially my horse riding lessons were supposed to be on friday evening, but now they're on saturday late afternoon. but either way, i guess im free on friday.. should i slot in a piano lesson there or let myself have 1 free day? sunday is a half-free day. normally for homework.. wait this is too confusing.. i shall type it out in point form.
- monday: AEP to 4pm+
- tuesday: math tuition 4.30pm
- wednesday: AEP to 4pm+
- thursday: CCA to 5.30pm? (2 weeks of temporary history tuition at 7.30pm)
- friday: nothing.
- saturday: chinese tuition in early afternoon, horse riding at 4.30pm
- sunday: half-day free for homework
i also duno y i have so many tuitions.. carried on from school holiday. haha. but regarding the history tuition, i cant stand the teacher. tutor i mean. he's the only male tutor i ever hired. (or rather, my mom ever hired.) im nt discriminating against gender. but i feel that he makes himself too comfortable in other ppl's homes. like, he doesnt feel "professional". he's supposed to teach history, but sometimes he talks about everything else except history. he wastes a lot of time, that's why sometimes his lessons stretch over 2hours. he ordered a bowl of instant noodles once because he skipped his lunch. i dun know how to say it without coming across as 'mean' or 'cruel', so im just gonna say it.
doesnt he know his boundaries? a bowl of noodles is nth but i dun like the way he handles his stuff. he is hired to teach. nt to come for free lunch and nt to come and waste my bloody time. if he stays focus all the time, he will never have to stretch over 2hours in the first place. and he is totally wasting my mom's money. he requires payment for 4 lessons on the first lesson. so my mom already paid. and then, on the first lesson, he came super late. and he left before 2hours was even up. and most of the time he didnt teach me a single thing. he was talking to my mom about irrelevant stuff. he always sidetracks. and on the second lesson, he spent nearly 3 freaking hours teaching me about WWI and WWII stuff. and in the end, i dont think the school is even going to teach about any world war. so what can i say except, i think he is wasting my mom's money and my mom should just get a refund for the next 2 lessons..
i duno. hahaha. i shall stop talking abt that tutor because i dun have nice things to say abt him.
i just started a bit of the weekend homework today. i did half of the math worksheet. i dont know how to do part 3 and 4. and the whole worksheet has only 4 parts. so i practically just didnt know how to do half of the worksheet. really fail!
i shall just go and watch
Chobits :)

today's the 5th day since i last rode a horse. it feels like forever, waiting for my next lesson to come. but im glad to know tomorrow is friday. and then after friday, comes saturday. and saturday 4.30pm is my next horse riding lesson. i wonder which horse i'll get. but if i get Rocket again, i'll try my best to mount the tall guy on my first try.
my mom went to learn how to bake cookies today.. chinese new year goodies kind. the white one that tastes fluffy and melts in your mouth. i dont know what it's called. or how to spell it. but she baked good and it was nice :D
the day was really boring. again. but the last part was interesting because of geography. i like learning about the formations of the earth. the earth just never fails to amaze me.
i watched a DVD called
Dreamer today. it is about a horse called Sonador, it's a spanish word which means 'Dreamer'. hence the movie's name. she's a racehorse. and she broke her front leg in a match. she almost died, but was saved. and then her leg healed. and she took part in a big competition, and she won. hahahah. the plot doesnt sound like much, but the movie is good. it was able to make me feel tensed at the appropriate parts.
and now im settling the OBS form stuff.. and i am waiting for my mom to get off the phone. so i can ask her about the tetanus jab thing. although i think i found it.
okay. going. gone.

today somehow irritated me :( i remember monday was fun. i played badminton during PE. or at least attempted to. my partner was zhuhong. and we both duno how to play badminton. so we were desperately trying to surf and trying to hit. lol!
but today.. it was just boring D: in chem, it was not engaging at all. once i cant see anything, surely lose interest already. and then there was the boring hours of chinese.. omg. and then the file incident..
i know the world isnt fair. but then, should the humans on earth be the ones trying to make things fair? irritating.. why should i be the one to pay double for the same file.. pisses me off :(

hahaha. 5 days since i last blogged. but my mood now is better than 5 days ago! :D
this week of school i think i have persevered well. sleeping for 4-5hours a day. doing my homework. handing in on time. staring at the same math diagram for hours until i finally get the answer. if i be like this constantly the whole year round, im sure i will be able to have a good msg effortlessly. but the thing is, how do i get more sleep!! the only problem i have is, throughout this week, there is always one day, where in one lesson, i will always feel like sleeping and have to try and resist being sleepy.
i have long forgotten what it's like to pay full attention. but i think, as long as no one talks to me during lesson time, i will be able to pay full attention. hahaha.
i think mr chong, which is a new teacher and is also 312's form teacher, has really eccentric methods.. like the table arrangements. and the voting for class positions.. this needs some time to get used to. but i think other than that, things are still ok.
ms teng is our co-form and math teacher. i think with her as my math teacher.. my math will not fail anymore. hah. im serious. she dragged my math back up just like how she made me go to her remedial classes.
and then, our LA teacher is ms lin. she seems.. nice. but all i can say is. i dont know her so well. so i dont have much comments.
chinese teacher is Ng Hup Beng.. and i hope i dont fail my chinese.. i cant seem to pay attention to him. yikes. but i understand what he teaches. so the rest is up to me. i must pay attention.
chem teacher is mr chong, yes the same guy who is our form teacher.
bio teacher is ms khoo. but i am not taking bio.
IH teacher is ms van dijk! and all i can say is, i will definitely be passing my IH this year! she is super funny, and i think she is one of the only teachers who can force the class to be interactive and participating. not really force. but you get the drift.
geog teacher is ms yap. she also seems nice.
AEP teacher is the same mrs tan! woohoo! and another guy. mr sim is it? i forgot his name.
ok. i became the permanent math rep. what else is there to say about school? school's school. i come home everyday, turn on the comp to click the fb applications. mousehunt, restaurant city, cafe world, farmville, country story. hahaha. i guess, i am still free enough to play these games. after that i do homework. once i finish, it'll be around 9pm. or 10pm. and then i slack around until 12.. i have yet to finish my jigsaw puzzle.
anyway. actually i only wanted to blog about today's horse riding lesson. but i thought that i should talk about my first week of sec 3 as well. this lesson went well ^^
horse riding lesson 3 i went there alone today. :D yay!
there was a different instructor today. i dont know his name though. the horse i rode on today was Speargrass, i hope that's how the name is spelled. Speargrass likes to trot, and when he sees the horse in front trotting off, he also wants to trot off. therefore, i have to hold him back. he's a good horse though :D i think it was only easy because he follows other's well.. but i guess i'll have to wait for my next lesson before i can confirm that.
i've always had a problem trotting. but i keep telling myself that that's because it's only my 1st lesson, or 2nd lesson. but today! i am proud of myself, because i can trot a lot better now. and it's only my 3rd lesson!!!
and then the instructor let me off, as in. the first few lessons, there'll be someone there to hold onto the horse, like a leash. and then today, they un-clipped my horse. haha. Speargrass is a good horse :D
now i have to use my leg muscles more.. otherwise, the stirrup will always slip down to my heel, and that's bad..
oh yes, today i managed to mount in 1 try. i usually have difficulty mounting. but i guess it's because im more used to it now. so i can mount better! yay.
today's lesson was fun :D cant wait for next lesson! i wish i brought $30. could have booked another earlier lesson! my next lesson is on the 24th mah. then, there's 1 slot left on Friday, which is before the 24th.
okay. i shall do my homework soon. i hope.

first day of school post (:
woke up late to meet ky, but on time for school. yay! wish granted. got a seat at the back. maybe this year, i really have to take note of everything in order to have the right mood for studying..
we had so-called "ice-breaker" games. but it was not so interactive and ice-break-ish. then there was lots of briefings which lasted for about 1hour and 45min in the audi.. i was getting bored at the second last speaker. and i keep almost falling asleep. omg la. and then, ms teng was sitting on my left. so she have to tap me. LOL.
what else? o yea. PCCG. this part is quite dumb. i am sitting at the back of the classroom, between a new person called Rachel and Xindi from 201'09. well, my opinion of all 'rachel's in the world is getting better. but this rachel is really mad one. it was election time for temporary monitor, assistant monitor, treasurer and IT/AV coordinator. and then we were forced to put our names up on the whiteboard for at least one of the above titles. and then people vote. and i went along with rachel and we both put our names in all the columns. and i ended up being the assistant monitor. haha. o well.
im still wondering about my bio thing. and about NYAA. if im not taking bio, what do i do during bio lessons? slack? and NYAA. i dont even know how to fill in the form. much less know what the guy was talking about in the audi. ok..
the fact that school has started again hasnt quite sunk in yet. boooo. ok. may not blog for awhile after this.
written on Monday, January 04, 2010, 6:14 PM
school starts tomorrow! but i am not excited and i dont know what to do. boo~ after going back to school for so many years, i still dont know what to bring to school on the first day. what should i bring? books? foolscap? stationery. i havent bought myself a new school bag or a new wallet either. aiya. who cares about that.
summarize my holidays here bah..
i guess, im more or less still the same?
when the holidays just started, i was into pangya i think. or maybe i was addicted with japanese anime and drama. and i was addicted for quite awhile. then after that i cut back. and i went out for alot of movies. actively went out quite a few times a week also.
but after awhile.. i kind of sank back into maple. i sold some stuff. trained my bandit from level 71 to 75. can say im a multi-billionaire in maple now. i'd say i've done a better job than most. the people i cant bear to leave behind, i will never forget them. i guess i shall go back from time to time to talk to them. especially jess.
im still watching lots of things now. but at the moment, im rushing to finish an old channel 8 drama show. called
Kinship. it's the long drama, 2 seasons with 83 episodes in total. i only watched like, 3 quarters of it, and missed out the grand finale. that drama was really my most favourite one from mediacorp channel 8. other than that, i will lookout for
Gossip Girl,
90210,
Desperate Housewives and
Inuyasha: Final Act anime. 4 sounds quite a lot. but if you look upon it on a week by week case, it's actually reasonable. and then every few weeks i will lookout for a new
Skip Beat! manga chapter. i wont deny that i may be addicted to these. but to me, they're really worth the watch.
speaking of those American dramas, new episodes are just starting to be released.. all thanks to Christmas. i think i have blogged about my christmas. so i shall not really say much. this christmas was a fantastic one, no doubt. i shall be determined to have a great chinese new year and a great christmas in the year 2010.
and.. other than that, try to be more optimistic, and friendly? those things that i've mentioned i guess.
i think i cant stick around people that i already know. i will like, rely on them too much. just like how i was thrown into a class full of strangers on the first day of the year 2008. didnt know anyone in 101'08. and then 201'09 was pretty good. who knows how 312'10 is gonna be like?
(i hope i remembered my class correctly. it should be 312.) someone not from school once commented, that i complained and whined too much on my blog post. and i was actually thinking about this. first of all, it's my own blog. so i guess, all along i just thought that if it's my own blog, i should be allowed to blog whatever i want. the whole 'free to do whatever i like' thing. and i was thinking, if i want to befriend the whole class next year, but if the class doesnt want to be friends with me for who i am, am i really supposed to change myself? if they dont want to be friends with the real me, why should i change myself? i wouldnt change myself for the world.
okay. i've sidetracked. so the deal is, the blog is mine. and blog, is like an online diary. so.. it's like.. cant i even complain on my own online diary? actually i didnt notice it myself. have i really been complaining? didnt notice in real life, and neither did i notice on my blog. maybe i was venting anger. i guess everything shall be anonymous. wait, hasnt everything always been anonymous? ok, then everything shall only be about myself from now onwards. the whole blog shall be all about me. nothing about anyone else. and about me includes my feelings. all of it. anger, happiness, unhappiness, weird feelings. everything. it shall become a very zi lian blog. ok? better than complaining about people all the time.
and what else? new blogskin. i'll have to finish up other stuff first.. first, i have to finish watching
Kinship drama.. and then i have to finish my half-done 1000-piece jigsaw. i feel like i have given up halfway. but i know i havent. i just have been busy watching
Kinship. hahaha. and after i finish that, i have to study stuff before hand. oh, and the horse-riding thing.
actually i have a few reasons why i wanted to learn horse-riding. i really believe that everyone has a talent. but my talent, well, it completely hasnt appeared yet. unless, good at gaming is a talent. but anyone can game. and there are a lot of gaming talents out there. so, i think that is just something that anyone can do.
horse-riding has many benefits.. but the benefit that i am eying, is actually the part where it allows me to exercise. though i suck at PE and fail my NAPFA 2.4km every year since the distance increased from 1.6km to 2.4km, the truth is, i want to be fit. i want to have a decent stamina. who wants to fail 2.4 every year? it doesnt feel good. though every time i seem like i dont care. anyway, yeah.. horse-riding. dont think it's just sitting on a horse and holding the reins ok!
to a weak person like me who doesnt exercise at all, well. horse-riding is hard, there's no denying it. but nothing easy is worth learning, right? besides, i've only been for 2 lessons.
the first lesson, the horse i sat on was called Danny. or Dany, with 1 'n'. first lesson, naturally was kind of nervous. the mounting was my first obstacle.
i never knew that a horse was that tall can!! had to bounce myself up and sit on the saddle. and even so, there were so many things to take note of. like, the way i hold my reins, my foot's placing on the stirrup, must always look over the horse's head and between his ears. walking is easy, anyone that can sit on a horse can walk. just give it a little kick. steering is a little tricky because i havent learnt how to handle the reins. pulling it too hard would hurt the horse. and then, the horse has different paces. the walk, the trot and the canter. i thought there was a gallop, but basically those 3 are it. i daresay trotting is the hardest.. because we have to stand up and sit down, according to the "rhythm". and people like me who have no leg muscles, i couldnt get it right actually. but i am super determined to get it right. even if the coach finds me a lousy student and is completely irritated by my presence, i will show up again i tell you! and then after the whole deal, i fell down while dismounting. that was a laugh. i must have been the first person who falls down while dismounting!! in any case, my muscles ached for awhile after that. like, seriously ache.
and then my second lesson was 2 days later. this time i sat on a different horse. he was called Rocket. darker, taller, stronger than Danny. this horse was more black than brown. and my mom who was watching from the stands said that he was taller. and how do i know he's stronger? maybe my arms are just weak. but Rocket likes to tug at the reins.. maybe i need gloves. haha. not yet. but after my 4th lesson, i think i will get my own horse-riding gear.
i just realized that i've talked about horse-riding for very long. and actually there is something else i wanted to talk about. last year's My Passion talk for LA lesson, remember? actually if you ask me, reading is actually not counted as a passion. i just havent found a real passion. so i just took any topic and talked about it. who knows? horse-riding may be one. but it's really hard for me now. i need to develop some serious leg muscles. and arm muscles. im not saying that horse-riding is my real passion or whatever. i dont even know myself. it may or may not be. but actually, my next lesson is on 24th January!!! so angry! my first lesson was on 28th Dec 2009, second lesson was on 30th Dec 2009. but third lesson is almost a month away! i was really disappointed. and afraid i will not be used to it. i cant wait to go to school and get my timetable. then i can see the schedule, and i can book regular horse-riding sessions ahead of time!
okay. i think i have nagged on long enough. hahaha. this year is going to be a good one. i just know it. im not simply trying to be optimistic. i am definitely determined to go and make it a good one too.

801st post!
happy new year.
sad to say im less pumped up than i was the last time i blogged. homework not done, addicted to a new drama, have not read textbook! but i havent read textbook before lessons start before.
and i think my english is deproving. i can feel it. okay. rubbish.
i have to turn back my bio clock. and force myself to finish my homework immediately everyday after i come home. just like when i was in primary school.
is there anything else to say? no bah.
written on Friday, January 01, 2010, 10:28 PM
i think it's about time i blogged. it's the end of the year. and im woke up at 5pm today. not am, but pm. i think i am nuts. and i really should turn back my bio clock. i have no idea how i woke up at 5pm. but i hope i dont wake up so late again. 1pm is late enough. 5pm is the end of the world.
so. how was christmas? i re-watched
Avatar on the 24th in 3D. so i guess i got lots of my wishes fulfilled. only thing is i want to buy new stuff. but im gonna be more practical when buying new wallets. i change them too often. sort of.
err.. regret not going out on the night of 24th. but o well. ate log cake the moment it striked 12. :D and.. then the next day it was christmas.
christmas was great. great enough that everybody gathered together and had a meal. we didnt eat anything much. it was just chinese food at some place. but granny likes chinese food. and everybody else looked happy to be there. so it was good.
first thing though, we went to church at 11.30am. and watched a drama there. it was funny. after that we went to thomson plaza to eat at peach garden. and then we went to walk around. and after that!!! my mom, my aunt and i went to kranji's singapore turf club riding centre. and i signed up to learn horse riding! *completely excited* im just waiting for the days to pass by now. first lesson is on monday at 3.15pm. i hope i dont fall off the horse!! and im expecting it to be real hard. but i hope that i will be able to manage! because it sounds like real fun. and it will really be a good sport for me. seeing as i dont exercise much. i have lots of fats. this is so gonna be good for me :D excited!!!
ok.. and then when we arrived at junction 8. we split up. my sis went with her friend to shop for her needed clothes. business suit for presentation and stuff. and then grandma went home. my mom's friend tagged along. (yes she was there. i count her as a family friend now. hahaha) so there were 4 people at the turf club. really excited about learning. the class on monday has 5 people. and i think.. there was a 13 year old person.. and another 15 year old. the other 2 are older than me. i wonder who will i be learning with. and if they already learned. dont want to be the only first-timer!!! gonna be so weird. hahaha. ok. i must psycho myself. learning is a process and there's a first time for everything. so it's nothing to be ashamed of. right? yes. ok.
i shall stop talking about horse riding now. today is the 26th. it's after christmas. i think. when are the 12 days of christmas?
ok. what im trying to say is. the new year is coming. how do i feel about this year. on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, i would rate this year as a 6. i did improve. although not as much. and i got promoted to sec3. so it wasnt so bad. school-wise it was okay.
social-wise.. im a failure! so my new year resolution for myself is to be a nice person. im gonna be friendly too. i wanna be friends with the whole class. haha. i know the past 2 years i still have been locked up in my own world. and i probably didnt care much about what others felt. just dying to be in my own comfort zone. and. at times maybe reckless? and anti-social? lots of negatives. but 2010 must be a year full of friends and talking! i shall talk until the teacher asks me to shut up. ok. not really. talk until i have lots of people know and understand the real me. not like 201'09. what i told them wasnt enough for anyone to know me. except clare. and who can i blame for that? *points at myself*
but i shall still be gaming a lot next year. but it wont be anything serious. like, maybe slack a lot to chat with people in maple. or trade every weekend. something like that. and then play pangya with my best friend in pangya! we're also like, good fb-gaming buddies. i play restaurant city, cafe world, farmville and country story. and she helped me in like 2/4 of those games.
but! everything aside. i guess i have to mug. im not a genius or whatever. only geniuses dont need to mug. i have to mug. i expect a super freaking hard year ahead. and i have to mug like hell to get through the fires alive. and so i shall. i shall mug. and be active. do lots of CIP. dont whine when school ends late. school is definitely going to end late. but my whole life is for school. im 14 for goodness' sake. if i dont go to school, what will i do? gaming my whole life is just dumb.
so next year will be busy. and fruitful. mug accordingly. make friends all year round. say hi to people everyday. download stuff to watch.
90210,
Gossip Girl,
Desperate Housewives! hahahaha. and then fb! i should put up some pictures next year. up till now my profile pict is still a question mark. wth! LOL.
ok what else? gaming will stop if i cant cope with my studies.. blogging is going to help. but im thinking of having a real life diary again. i remember i had one. once only. but i re-read it and i watched myself change. and if i could choose, i wouldnt go back again.
so 2010! i am ready for it. hahahaha. wake up at 5.40am everyday? no problem. im even going to pass napfa 2.4km. with the help of horse riding. if the first lesson sucks, im going again until i get it right! the horse make me fall, so what? get back on and try again.
guess im really ready for the new year! i shall go start on my 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle now. it was a christmas gift. the link to the picture is here:

Your Ego is Very Small
|
You don't have a high opinion of yourself. You're happy with who you are, but you don't feel special.
You believe you're just like everyone else. You aren't more unique or more deserving.
While it's good to be humble, make sure you don't sell yourself short.
You may not have a superiority complex, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to better yourself.

christmas is looking ultra fine this year!!! and the day has been fab. how shall i put it? sunday is, of course, fabulous.
today i woke up at 10am. and went for the 11.30am church service. btw, i go to new creation church. the main auditorium is at suntec city. so yea, but today's service was really boring. mostly because i dont quite follow what the pastor is saying, and also because it wasnt pastor prince's sermon. i noticed the guy on my left had a htc dream. and the appearance really is nice. but i heard that htc is not really a good phone. should i get htc dream or not? or should i get LG gw525? but that camera is 3 megapixel. which.. is abit of a turn-off. and the keyboard colour is too bold for me, even though i dont really mind the blue one. best if i can get the black one.
okay. so after church, we actually wanted to watch
Avatar but there were no sneak previews available. so we ended up walking around heck loads. and i nearly got my mom to buy me a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle. and then we had ice-cream at Gelare. lazy to use the french alphabet. i love cookie dough flavour!!
where else did we go in suntec? inqbox shop. interesting. lots of accessories. tempting. precious thoughts, i bought a trinket box to put the earrings in! gift for mom is complete, almost. i want a ribbon to decorate it. or something.
think after that we went to the book fair. super duper boring for me. my mom wont buy me books anymore, not like i need any. i still have some. and i've exhausted the list of books to buy. but i walked around the whole place. and couldnt find a single thing that interested me.
okay, i think the sequence of locations is jumbled. so there's no order now.
oh, for lunch, we ate at crystal jade. because i wanted the prawn dumplings. hehehe. ate roasted duck noodles! crispy fried tofu with salt and pepper! spring roll! super delicious. haha. or maybe im just happy.
after the suntec stuff, we went to east coast. it was around 6.30pm. we ate roast chicken wings and satay. and i drank the coconut thinggy. and yea, we sat in the open. it was really good weather, i must say.
then we sat at the rocks awhile. frankly speaking, i've never been to the rocks before. heck, i dont even remember the first time i was at east coast.
after that, we went to changi airport. but before that, we stopped somewhere near there. the place where people fish. and it was like super windy. was hoping to see some planes returning, but they changed their return routes. so we only saw the planes taking off. while driving, i saw the plane dashing on the runway and lifting off. got me excited. haha, somehow i think im just fascinated with planes.
and then we really went to changi airport. because we felt like eating french fries. so macdonalds! seaweed shaker fries and normal fries with salt and pepper sprinkled over them. hehe. awesome. i think im going on a no-macdonalds 6 month marathon again after that.
after eating, we went to walk around and shop. and first, i got a new book. christmas gift! hahahaha. heck, the book cost $31. -.- it's written by Carole Matthews. but i forgot the title. something about, getting back the feeling of love? desire to love? yea.
and then i bought new sport shoes!! totally psyched. especially since my nike pair totally died during the school malacca fieldtrip. i love my new sport shoes~
walked around a lot more. but didnt buy much other stuff. bought some cakes from polar and then went back home.
today was awesome. and i hope i'll see my cousins this christmas!! and have a nice big, happy family reunion.

yay. started playing something new on fb. country story. seems similar to barnyard. but adobe flash player has some dumb screw up so i cant play barnyard. if that's even what it's called. where ppl can steal or help your crops. of course, they can help out with your crops and then steal them. kinda stupid.
anyway.. i just finished
Desperate Housewives Season 6 latest episode. it's about this plane crash right into Wisteria Lane, which is where everyone lives. and then.. well, some died. and it was christmas on their lane. i had goosebumps, like literally.
now i have nothing to do. i want to go out but there arent really any other movies. and there is no where to go seeing as im broke. yes, still broke. i should get my wallet on the week of christmas. but other than that, maybe schoolbag before school reopens? i really dont know what kind of christmas it's going to be this year. but i hope it's at least something. i mean, i know it's troublesome to cook a christmas meal for a family. but, it doesnt really matter. hell, i dont mind if my family just buys the $180 Christmas meal thing from Swensens.
i wanted to pick up a new hobby. which is baking sponge cakes. because i like to eat cakes. but seeing as it's the christmas season. places everywhere are booked. or those that can be found online anyway. but, if i really wanna learn how to bake, i'll learn it eventually. hobbies can be taken up anytime. not like im gonna be a talented patissier or something.
what else is there? 2 nights ago, about 3am. i cant believe a mosquito got me so freaking pissed off. but seriously, i might get pissed off just blogging about it again.
ok. at 3am i was still watching
90210. btw, i finished it already. and then suddenly, i felt like my fingers were itching. like really itching with the heat and all. and then i realized, it was a mosquito bite. 1 at a knuckle, another at the side of my finger. and then other various spots on my leg started itching. and im like, wtf? how many mosquitoes are there? and then surprise, surprise. there was only one. and it still lingered around. and in my head i was thinking,
wtf! you greedy mosquito! leave me alone! and then i closed the
90210 window. and i was standing up, fidgeting as i tried to shut down my comp without getting bitten again. it was freaking annoying. it flew around, and i was like,
urgh, why wont you just die?! i swear, it was the size of one of the alphabets on my phone keypad. and i cant believe a small shiet like it sucked my blood 7 times in a night. i totally wanted to squish it and watch it die with
MY blood oozing out of it's tiny body.
but ok, gross. didnt mean to make it sound so gross. im still thinking what i should do for christmas. and im also thinking what should i get for people for christmas. frankly, there arent much people to think of. but blahblahblah, it's the thought that counts. so what should i get? christmas cards? at the very least. i realize i dont know what people like. i know clare likes cute stuff and pink stuff. but i already gave her a bear for her birthday. wait, why am i blogging the trail of 'christmas gift' thoughts on my blog? that's just dumb.
okay. blogthings.

You wait your turn, speak your piece, and quickly turn the conversation back to your partner.

i've been looking for this game called Pizza Frenzy. really fun. something like cakemania and supermarket mania. but different as well. i found it at popular bookstores. $16. thinking if i should buy it because im so bored all the time. and i think im gonna buy it. call me crazy.

i just realized how stupid i am. from the moment i saw season 3's first episode, i should have known. no, from the moment Blair ended up with Nate on episode 21, something was odd. anyway, i just realized that the last episode of
Gossip Girl season 2 is 25. and i've only watched until 21. which is totally dumb. that means i missed out on 4 juicy episodes. and from what i've known, they were just the best episodes in all 3 seasons. this is dumb. i mean, i suspected it lots of times. but i never actually went to confirm it. so this just means im stupid.
another thing is, what is chuck bass' relationship with jenny? as in, not
relationship-relationship. i mean, lily is married to bart bass. and then serena and chuck became step-siblings. and then lily married rufus.. so is jenny like, great-step-sister or something? dan too. what is it called?

how many times have i blogged today?
anyway. i was bored. so i roamed around on facebook. and this astrology says that my lucky time of the day on 9th december is 4am. it's so freaking ironic. like, 4am i was still desperately trying to get some sleep. and i mean, how is that lucky?
but woo! lucky colour: pink.
not that i believe or follow any of the stuff. but i admit im superstitious. a little.
written on Wednesday, December 09, 2009, 8:17 PM
i just realized how long my blog hasnt been a blog for awhile. a blog is like an online journal open to the public, right? but i havent even been posting about what i've been up to.
ok. on the day of the supposedly really depressing post, i dont remember it so well now, i finished watching a very nice anime called
Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ which was about unfeeling assassins with no past. and it affected me i suppose.
and just before my very partial mental breakdown, i watched
New Moon twice, and
2012 once.
and during all of that, i would be at home, on my downloading frenzy. until one day, someone pointed out to me that my comp could be this sucky slow because maybe my C: drive is full. and i went to check and it was like, 5 GB left of free space? which is when i realized, some of the animes i download i dont even like. i mean, i download them for fun. i watched them once because i was bored. but then if i never want to watch them over and over again, what's the point? and i deleted all the "hard work" and kinda cut myself away from the downloading frenzy. so now my comp has at least 25 GB free space. and my videos dont lag anymore. how great is that?
also, im having 3 tuitions a week. to kill time. pathetic, i know. but there's hardly anywhere to go in singapore. it's crowded, and boring. well, i hope it's only until senior years start. so anyway, 3 tuitions: math, lit + history, and chinese. 2 hours, 2 hours, 1.5 hours respectively. wed, thurs, fri. 3 days in a row.
what else is there about my current life? uh.. stupid fb games. i was supposed to harvest my dumb crops and serve the dumb crab bisque at cafe world at around 10pm. but i forgot so i did that at 12am instead. 2hours late in the cycle again. but i guess that's more my timing now huh?
i went to bed early yesterday. well, ok. 3am is not early. but i was actually watching 90210. so it's a surprise i didnt sleep at 4am. but the thing is, i went to bed at 3am. but i didnt sleep at 3am. i rolled around. eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling. and the problem was, i wasnt even tired. and then there was the noise and all. so it makes it harder to sleep. so i kinda stuffed my earpieces into my ears all night. but then again, it's only 5 hours.
yea. i rolled around until 5am+. i tried finding sms buddies at 4am. but no replies. so i was like, oh well. music. and then i rolled around until it was 5am. and i slept. and i woke up at 10am. and went for KFC breakfast. damn, i sure hope i sleep well tonight.
okay. what else? uh.. books. i havent touched any of the 2 new books. and by touch, i mean finish. i started on the host. but the beginning really doesnt interest me. so i have to wait until im freaking bored. then i read it till the mid, and then i can get addicted to it.
ok. time's up. im gonna go continue with 90210.
OH WAIT. 1 more. i watched
Mulan yesterday. and it was
awesome. i got more than i expected. it wasnt the least bit soppy-drama-ish. except for the last part. but i like happy endings, and not perfectly happy endings. and
Mulan did it for me.
okay. im off.

i need a new phone~ what should i get?
dont want htc. dont want sony ericsson. probably LG. second choice nokia.
slider, with keyboard. note: not keypad.
touch screen.
good camera. at least 5 megapixels. with zoom.
i dont really care about any other functions.
bluetooth maybe? -.- what else is there? fm radio? no, that doesnt really matter. uh screen size. the bigger the better. 3 inches? 3.2 inches?
apparently a phone like that doesnt really exist. but if i could get a maroon LG env2 vx9100, i dont mind if the camera is like 2 megapixels. i like how that phone looks.
but no. i cant have what i want. so what will i get?
written on Tuesday, December 08, 2009, 8:12 PM
okay. so everyone's right and im wrong.
i guess i have to admit it. though i think i may have already said this once. i am addicted to anime. there, confirmed. sign, sealed, and delivered.
and this has gone far enough. letting the dream world influence the real world. this should not be what it is. no, im better than this. so, unless i want to drown myself on purpose, im not going to watch anymore anime. except
Skip Beat! if there is a season 2. and
Inuyasha: Final Act because i've been watching it my whole life.
i've been a downloading maniac recently. surely i have mentioned that about a hundred times. but guess it's time to wake up. it's 7th december. way deep into the holidays. and what have i been doing? sitting on the computer chair day after day. i think it's time to wake up. people wake up after something happens, normally that's a little too late. so unless i want to doom myself in a box, i will stop bringing crap to myself.
self-discipline. that's it. less computer, more 'me' time. sounds dumb? yea. kind of. facebook, continues. i think.
i should stop downloading stuff. but i wont delete what i've downloaded. they're really nice memories.
my movies folder is about 100 GB. and my C drive is only 140 GB. i think the other 100-odd GB is at the mac's side, so hence the small memory. but what im trying to say is, im killing my comp. so unless, i want to throw away the things that i still have right now, i will stop killing the computer.
how could i have been so stupid.
wait a minute. what am i supposed to do during the holidays?
guess i'll make a list.

Okazaki Tomoya, a character from
Clannad anime.
school delinquent. always hangs out with Sunohara, another school delinquent. but in his senior year, he started meeting more friends. Ichinose Kotomi, Furukawa Nagisa, Fujibayashi Kyou and Ryou.. and then there was 1 junior, Tomoyo.
it would be nice if in my senior year, friends would just gravitate to me. and i would meet more people. and life would be less dull.
haha. what's up with me this time?
nothing much. just re-watching random
Clannad episodes. and then i realized lots of stuff. again.
a new wish, i suppose? i wish that in my senior years to come, it will be like Okazaki Tomoya's senior year. a christmas wish?
written on Sunday, December 06, 2009, 3:57 PM
geez. i have to tell myself to take it easy :x though it's one of the rarer times, where im this deeply influenced by an anime. but it does make sense.
but i guess, we all live for nothing at first. and we find something along the way. so.. what's there to do?
written on Saturday, December 05, 2009, 10:34 PM
so one day i say to myself, "i think i need a hopeful anime."
and went off to find one.
written on Friday, December 04, 2009, 3:18 PM
my thoughts go too fast when my mind is not occupied, when my mind is not absorbing some anime's plot.
today's big topic: my life.
from the various shows that i have watched, i learn something from them all, be it consciously or unconsciously.
but this one, is the most intense of it all. because this one, made me realize that i have no reason to live. im like a real puppet, and i cant even see who's pulling my strings. not that a puppet is supposed to know who controls them..
i guess. what im trying to say is, i dont own anything, but my name. my name is Lois Hew. but i have nothing under that name.
i have nothing to lose, and therefore, nothing to fear. yet i live such a blessed life, and still want more.
if a gun were to be pointed at my forehead, what will i feel?
nothing. i feel nothing. i dont own anything. i have nothing to strive for. i needed guidance, but i was guided to nothing.
i need a goal. i know of many things in life. fashion designing. air stewardess. interior designer. model. actress. singer. author. director.
BUT NOTHING IS WHAT I WANT. WHERE IS THE STRONG URGE OF DESIRE? WHY DO I NOT WANT ANYTHING? HOW CAN I NOT HAVE A GOAL? how can someone live for 14 years and not know anything?
that person is destined to live a normal life for the rest of his days.
and i dont want to be that person. i want a goal. i need a goal. i need to attain something. i need something i want to protect. i need a reason to be alive. im alive, but what am i alive for? i need my goal now. i need a clear view. what do i want to do? i can do anything. im not stupid. im in a top school. though im not the richest person on earth, and probably not the kindest person, im alive for a reason. but what's that reason?
normal is not an option.
i do not own anything..
..and therefore, i feel nothing.
and thus, fear is not a vocab to me.
what should i do?
written on Thursday, December 03, 2009, 11:02 PM
im spacing out in my seat. that's definitely gotta mean something.
not much to be surprised about. been fighting the medicine's drowsy effect for about 5 hours now. and it's night. so it's the 2nd time i've been enduring it today.
i suppose i've changed. but in a way, im still the same.
changed in the sense that.. my mentality. i try to think differently now.
but same because im still using the comp everyday. because i have nothing else to do at home? i dont think so. i think it's time i admit, im getting addicted. thanks to the loads of free time during the holidays.
i search for something new to watch everyday. with my 'skills', i find stuff in no time. and i tend to the fb games like a farmer tends to his field. and today, i find that my restaurant in Restaurant City has got a 5-star rating! though it's only 1 vote. but im happy. and i managed to expand my cafe in Cafe World 3 times so far. and im earning more than ever.
gaming. is that all i'll ever do?
the endless world of the internet. i'll forever be able to find stuff to occupy me. but is that what i should be doing?
im watching anime now. i finished a 11 episode + 1 special Jap drama yesterday. it's called
Absolute Boyfriend,
Zettai Kareshi in Jap. it made me realize the significance of life. and that robots cannot replace living humans,
duh. but, not to make it sound so life-changing, it's a great drama. that's all im saying.
the anime im watching now is called
Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom. it's about assassins. pretty cool. and also pretty depressing. yet, im downloading it. the frenzy never stops, does it? not until i get away from the comp.
i wont be surprised if the insides of this monitor burns out. well, i suspect it already is starting to. but then.. it's abit like the way earth is to mankind. i know my comp's status is deteriorating, but i cant do anything to stop it, and i continue ruining it. men do the same thing to earth.
freaking hell! i hope i get over the sad episodes of the anime soon. when the female reappears i'll be satisfied.

helplessly choked by the theories that remind me of
humanity's harmful ways towards the earth..
but hopelessly mesmerized by
the strong, complex, yet beautiful love that coexist amongst humans..
why is it that we humans were the ones put above all other animals? we are animals, but we arent the same. we're put above the rest. we were created by God. and we are also sinners. how is that.. possible..
i love the earth.
and i like my life. it's not the best, but im satisfied with it.
from now on, i will have no more complains. no whining. about responsibility, or having to go home from school later than ever. i want to experience life to the fullest, and live life with no regrets.
i believe in God. but i wish that men werent so awful to the earth. and i wish that a miracle will come, and the apocalypse wont. i want to live longer than 16 years. i want to experience much more than 16 years. it's fascinating. but nostalgic.
but all in all, it's one and the same. i do believe that the world does not revolve around money. the future doesnt exist, it's us humans that call the future 'future' anyway. isnt that right? we give ourselves and everything around us a specific name. i thought we were only supposed to name the animals. but we did more than that.
i kind of feel a little confused and upset. but it's the way things are. and everyone has to work together to solve this. nobody can save the world alone.
and, if the apocalypse does come, i will believe in God and wish to be saved. and i think, humans are amazing. even if sometimes we fail to see what's important. we all lose sight of that once in awhile, dont we?

hahaha. i just finished another anime. i think im gonna go look for some manga now. i sourced some nice ones yesterday.
yesterday was finally a normal day out for me. 'normal' as in, not glued to the comp. it was real fun :D
first, went to suntec city. eat lunch. then we walked around the shops a lot. and then went to church.
after church service, went to orchard. i got introduced to this new eatery. forgot it's name though. shidoku, maybe? it's like a Japanese-style Marche. super nice. ate lots of stuff. sushi, gyoza, japanese pizza. sukiyaki, if that's what it's called. and then, mochi with icecream and red bean! green tea ice cream + vanilla ice cream!
and then, to burn some calories, we went on a walk down orchard. from Heeren to ION. but before that, we went for the Levi's warehouse sale shop at Heeren. woohoo! bought school shoes. at least, i hope they can be used for school. only the letters arent white. so i think, they're alright?
and then walk all the way to ION. and went into the huge christmas tree outside. super cool ice-blue decorations hung from the top. it was so nice :D im in a great christmas mood now :3
and then, have to walk back to the car which was parked near Heeren. but before that, stopped at Takashimaya's Kinokuniya!! i walked around while the 2 adults went for coffee at Coffee Club. there were like, at least 4 shelves of english manga. i looked through 2. and got really confused. but i managed to find some nice titles. can look them up online. that way i dont have to buy. i mean, collecting manga is kind of like, collecting
Inuyasha VCDs. there's just too many.
and then i finally found the section i was looking for. naturally. and then, i almost bought 3 books: The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, The Host by Stephenie Meyer, and The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern.
Cecelia Ahern's a really special author to me. mostly, it's novels like Shopaholic and Twilight that attract me the most. but Cecelia Ahern's stories, they dont have to have a romantic plot, but still manage to attract me. even though her latest books come in A4 size, and cost $33.17, i still buy them. :D
i have been looking for The Host by Stepehenie Meyer at Popular bookstores for a freaking long time. but all they have is the Twilight Saga. and finally, i found it at Kinokuniya. i wanted to try Stephenie Meyer's other book.
last but not least, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. the movie is coming out on 28th Jan. i didnt get the book in the end. turns out my mom's friend has it, and she can lend it to me. besides, i didnt really expect that novel plot to attract me. watching it on the big screen would suit me better.
and then, we went home. :D feet tired, but happy nonetheless.
today has been really boring. i woke up at about.. 11am. i think. and then, finished last 4 or 5 episodes of anime.. played Pangya for awhile. Pangya gets boring when there's nobody to play with.
and.. i was thinking that i would read one of the books today.. but. i think i'll watch more videos. or start on the manga. yea.
watching
2012 soon! i hope they wont be sold out this time. and watching
New Moon again.
New Moon is the absolove! i cant get enough.

another strange dream. this time it makes more sense. the sequence of events fit better too.
i had a dream in my dream. i dreamt of wanying in a wedding gown and dead. well, she looked dead. and there was blood all over. she was at the back of a van too..
after that, i went to visit wanying. somehow, she lives in malaysia. and somehow, i managed to go all the way there to visit her. the house was kinda like a kampung house on stilts. but made of cement and bricks, tiled floor, and no stilts.
dont remember what happened immediately after i entered the house but, her mother told me to go home. and she went into her room after. and i followed, she was in her room with wanying's dad. and i asked them, in quite an anime-ish style, like, politely and stuff, "wanying.. is not dead, is she?"
and then her mother said she just has a flu. and the flu is called the kishu flu or something. dont remember. but it's such a coincidence. cos i have a flu in rl now. and then they just shut their bedroom door after i left.
then i secretly wandered around and found wanying's room. i went in and like, how normal people visit the sick, i asked her if she's okay and stuff. and we chatted for awhile. didnt stay for very long, i told her that her mom doesnt quite allow me here. she didnt seem surprised.
but somehow, i was very relieved to find that she's not dead. i mean, it was only a dream in my dream. the blood and stuff. not that i'll gloat over a death of a friend.
and then, as i was walking out of her house, dont know where im headed but, i walked down some stairs. it was like, emergency stairway exit in a big office building, except this is not a big office building. more like the ones at HDB flats. but it's weird because her house is not a HDB flat. so i dont know where i went.
so anyway, i was stopped by a.. idk. pervert? rapist? robber? and then, like. got attacked and stuff. and then i woke up.
but then, this time when i woke up, i didnt forget the dream. not much of it anyway. maybe i should talk to wanying on msn sometime.
i had that dream yesterday btw. and i also went out with clare yesterday! we wanted to watch 2012. prepared for the 3.30pm show. but got there at 1.17pm and it was
FULLY BOOKED. i totally didnt expect it to be so popular. thought it would only happen to movies like the
Twilight Saga or
Harry Potter. but in any case, we watched
New Moon instead. and then try 2012 on wednesday again. and thursday, 3rd dec, imma watch
New Moon a second time with karyan! hahahaha.
i love New Moon ttm. great movie.
so i woke up pretty late. and arrived there pretty late. and then when i met clare, we went to buy tickets first. then lunch at this place called BBQ chicken. i suggest that if people dine there, dont eat their pasta. oh wait. maybe not for everybody. it's just me.
and then we shopped abit until the movie. after the movie, we splurged at diva. a little. bought a new set of bangles!!! and a new necklace. happy!
and today, i went to the doctor's. though it's kinda late. my flu is already so mild. got medicine. ate medicine. thus, pretty drowsy now. and highly irritable.
and.. that's all for today.

i am bored. i think i'll do blogthings.
i got the thanksgiving golden air knight club set in pangya. muahahaha.. spent a fortune upgrading it. and.. i think i improved in pangya. i do long chip-ins more successfully :D
im only 30% done with my math tuition homework. math tuition is tomorrow. im kinda confused. maybe because in the DISC personality test, i have a C-type personality. the vague instructions given by my tutor is not enough. idk what to do for math homework actually. i only know i am supposed to redo at least 5 quadratic graph questions. but she taught me some new things, and i cant find those type of questions where i can apply what i've learnt. so.. i am lost. hahaha. that's why i stopped for awhile.
okay, blogthings.
You Are a Fabulous and Sophisticated City Dweller
|
You've got big city taste in everything! You love to shop at the finest stores, eat at the best restaurants, and take in the greatest cultural experience.
You admit you're a snob, but you have to be honest: almost everything is better in the city.
You love that the city is full of beautiful people, and you love being one of those people... even if it costs you a fortune to dress that way.
Life is short, so you might as well live it up while you can. And there's no better way to live it up than in the city.
|
agree.
You Are a Vampire
|
Right? You seem like a vampire. Pale? Check. Strong? Check. Nocturnal? Check!
There's a good chance you even like the taste of blood, and that's just down right creepy.
The funniest part about you being a vampire is that you haven't seemed to notice it yet. You must have some pretty weird habits to let the news slip by you like that.
Stay out of the sunlight, and avoid Italian restaurants (too much garlic). And if you have to feed on a human, please be gentle!
|
this is lame. i ticked 'no' for the gentle/strong question.
and blood.. it just tastes like rusty metal. which is okay. is that strange?
You Are the King
|
You may not move quickly, but you move with purpose. You take every decision in your life seriously.
You don't think that most risks are worth their potential downsides. You try to protect yourself at all costs.
Some people may consider you an egomaniac, but you're simply self-interested. It's perfectly natural to want to put yourself first.
You have a lot of responsibility, and a lot of people depend on you. If you were taken out of commission, those that depend on you would be doomed.
|
lol.. sounds like more leadership crap to me.
You Are a Butterscotch Scone
|
The early part of your day is filled with unpredictability and fun.
You are never sure when you are going to wake up. Your schedule varies as much as your life does.
You may have a hard time getting up in the morning, but you usually make it out of bed on the first try. You often have something new and exciting to look forward to.
You're the type most likely to make your scones from a mix and add in all sorts of funky stuff. Butterscotch chips are just one example of how inspired you can be.
|
i feel like making a blogskin.. *random*
You Are Edward Cullen
|
In general, you are an upstanding, ethical, and compassionate person. You aren't a stereotypical vampire.
Of course, you're only undead, so you can't help but be tempted occasionally. You do a good job keeping your cravings in check.
You are a true romantic, and you live to take care of your sweetheart. You couldn't go on if you hurt the one you love.
You have many worries and conflicts deep in your heart. You may seem distant or cold, but it's only because you care so much.
|
this is damn funny.
You Think That Sophistication is Glamourous
|
You think that no one is born glamourous. Glamour is something that must be cultivated.
You respect people who are worldly and cosmopolitan. Even if people is not well traveled, they can at least to their best not to be provincial.
You are attracted to people who have a broad perspective on life and aren't judgmental in the least.
You'd like to consider yourself one of these urbane people, though you can't help but judge those who are narrow minded.
|
haha.. narrow-mindedness..
lol i just realized something.. "Blogthings: Our Quizzes Weren't Written By Bored 12 Year Olds".. does that mean they were written by 12 year olds? is that why sometimes the grammar is incorrect?
You Are Bright and Intuitive
|
You can take in a lot of information at once. You're excellent at remembering details, and you are able to see how each piece of the puzzle fits together.
Beyond understanding what's in front if you're also good at seeing what's missing.
Your energy level is fairly high and consistent. You are good at being able to get yourself going.
Your signature latte would be a skinny latte. Even if you aren't on a diet, you don't really like your food to weigh you down.
|
Your Walk Says You're Bold
|
You are intelligent, thoughtful, and even philosophical. You like to go unnoticed for the most part.
Other people see you as confident. You are proud of who you are, and that shows immediately.
You are assertive, energetic, and curious about the world. You never hold back, and you're often the first to try something.
You tend to be all work and very little play. You are too responsible to let loose.
|
eh.. kinda wrong.
You Are More Cutthroat Than You Think
|
Yes, you do have that killer instinct lurking in you.
And while you may not be actually cutting throats anytime soon...
You certainly don't mind clawing your way to the top.
|
haha.. time to watch
Gossip Girl.

definitely sick. at least 2 packets of tissue. each side of my nose takes turns to be blocked. each time i sneeze it's disgusting and mucus-y. a little woozy too.
though it's not a fever. it's still a flu. hahaha. i think i could have felt it too. like, somehow my resistance to air con coldness has dropped. needed a jacket in malacca coach.. in any case, it's declining. and im got this sick. so.. yea.
lucky im not like a zombie. because that would most likely be H1N1, right? :D
i feel like i wasted my time again today. but then again, it's just until i get my pangya event item. it's just 44 more coins. we have to get 300 coins this time. 300 coins for the special club that is. it's alright to not collect them.. but i want to collect that. it's an easy-to-get special club. just needs time. almost could say it's free.
okay. i've been slacking around with videos and fb games as well. if someone says 'bored', the first thing/person i would think of is me.
my obsession kinda started again. the downloading frenzy. did i mention that? now im at the 32nd out of 44 episodes of an anime. and then i downloaded hana kimi jap version already.
i just wish my nose would stop. it's annoying.

i wonder what kind of first impressions i'll make next year. then again, it all depends on whether i'll be able to psych myself into being excited. if im excited, i'll probably seem friendly. otherwise, cold and probably like a guai kia. which sucks. well, first impressions may be important. but in this case, they're not important to me. at least there's about 7 201 '09 people in 312 2010 class. around there, i didnt exactly count. cher counted.
oh yea. yesterday i went out with enning, cher, lynn, shiyin, jolyn and ruisian. we watched
A Christmas Carol in 3D. honestly, it was my first time watching a 3D movie. but i wasnt even excited. as usual. guess it's hard to get me excited. is it?
the movie was boring. but all the same, i was fascinated by the effects. i admire the people behind the scenes. how do they draw that with technology? how do they make the snow? how do they make things look so realistic? i cant even draw something properly.
first time i ate a kono pizza too. it's like this cone made of pizza dough, and instead of ice cream in a cone, it's like pizza toppings stuffed into a cone made of pizza dough. and then baked in the oven. yummy. and i also always wanted to eat one of those cake in a cup things. i saw that in suntec city link. super cute. but it wasnt as cake-y as i thought it would be. a little disappointed. but next time i'll be trying the one at suntec city link.
after the movie, jolyn left. so only 6 remained. we went to sentosa. i dont remember what we did there. but it started raining. and then we played poker cards under the shelter. and ate ice cream.
after it stopped raining, we went to siloso beach. like we wanted. and then we played with sand i guess. we didnt really do much. and then the tides were rising as it was evening. and the sky started going into a stunning shade of alizarin red. then we wanted to take under the red part of the sky. but in the end we just took pictures everywhere else.
it was a fun day out. strange, because of the people i went out with.
at the beginning, i thought that there would be 12 of us. but a few didnt come. clare didnt come. and all the while, i could only imagine clare being there. i didnt know what it would be like, strange and awkward most likely, to be alone with other people from 201 that are nothing like clare. and then, my throat was in a really bad condition. like the super horrible sore throat that needs the help of some warm broth. but i just ate normally. and after awhile, the bad feeling went away.
after awhile, at sentosa, i was shaking like a leaf. and this morning when i woke up, i felt weird. it's almost like when i have a fever. only, i wasnt as dazed as then. i was shaking a little today as well. it kinda seems like i have fallen sick. my nose is not letting me off either.
oh well. a little flu is not going to get me. today's objective was to re-watch
Vampire Knight. i just felt like it when i woke up today. somehow, didnt go to church. i should sleep earlier each day too.
now im blabbering. i just finished dinner. and im wondering if there's a salmon restaurant out there. i like eating salmon. raw sashimii, cooked salmon. i love them both.
P.S.- the pictures will be here another day.
