Ohhh blogger is still screwed up. Shucks.

I just came back from my short run to bedok reservoir park.
Suddenly, I feel inspired to blog what I want to achieve in my Yr2 for sports.
I mean, I still need to lose weight, become thinner and get more toned arms - my legs are too muscular alr ):

1. RunNUS 5km run - complete it in 35mins (last year, I clocked 45mins (: )

2. Work on my 10km run and hopefully can join an organization's 10km Run by Dec09 - in 1hr15mins

3. Standard Chartered half-marathon, 21km by my 21st birthday (my goal to celebrate me being 21 (: ) - no timing because scared I jialat even before finishing it :/ but hopefully in 4hrs?

running aside, there is still my duties in nus (:

4. Be more competitive in netball training especially the GD position but it will be cool to try the GA position, the only thing is that I suck in shooting ):

5. Train my stamina for the upcoming Engin IFG games - should I take up the captain's role for touch rugby? shucks, stressed..

6. Swim more in nus especially when there is my lil' sis in nus now (:

7. Must better my freestyle strokes and complete 40 laps in an hour 0.o

8. Eventually, try for a biathlon before he comes back from uk so that I can happily brag/keep my promise to him (:

Yays, that should be all for now (:
I am awfully glad that sports is part of my life and that I have many active gfs especially bren and lingling (: (: (:

2009-07-26T11:55:00.000-07:00

Something is wrong with blogger.
Ah well, it is okay because I have been updating my other journal.
Woww, it has been days since I blogged in Blogger.
Of course, I still love my old blog (:

Recently or rather for the whole June/July months, I have been going for camps and everything.
Just came back from Rondo Chalet, Chess Camp and ESE Grad Dinner (my club project yays (: (: (: ).
Hmmm I have gone for 7 camps but only 3 of them are under my field - Engin Camp, ESE Camp and Engin Oweek.
The others are because I had promised my friends to support them or help them out or simply being their good company as crashies.
But I can reallllly feel a difference being a crashie and a councillor.
Damm big difference and being a crashie totally rocks, man.
No more commitments and the same high-high feelings as a freshie once again - even mabell agreed with me (:
It is also the same period where I underwent alot of emotional stuff.
Many thanks to my gfs - bren, mabbie, lingling, corny(you should be inside!) and 2 guys mainly - who were there for me in my state of confusion and I really treasure the HTHT sessions (:
Many thanks and loves to my ESE mates who could surprisingly tell that I was feeling down and constantly cheered me up through fb and msn - food or apple pies or msgs, they were all instant wonders for me (:

Him aside, yes camps have been marvellous and I have again met more people who commented that lingling and I look alike, hahaha.
I have also met more freshies who really take joy in bullying me especially the MRT games, sentosa games and black magic games -.-
Ah well, at least now I know how to play them and know who to avoid from now onwards - hahaha.
I know I'm being ironic right now but after the long chat with him just now (yes, I didn't bust it), I'm feeling slightly relieved and becoming more cheerful but definitely not hopeful because ultimately, I know what will happen.

You're such a queen bitch (:

2009-07-18T06:25:00.000-07:00

I am so excited.
Joann is going to stop blogging for a while now.
She will be away starting from tomorrow till friday to attend a chalet and a NUS camp.
(: (: (:

LOL no additional source of entertainment/meaning arh (:

yoyoyo (:

2009-07-17T12:35:00.000-07:00

I repeat, this is some stupid retarded post.
A post just to keep on constantly reminding me in both of my blogs.

SHITHEAD, follow your head, not your heart.
Don't be bowled over by his actions.
He is going to leave soon for further studies anyway ):

joann hates him alot -.-

2009-07-15T22:51:00.000-07:00

My blog is really dead but my another journal is up and running.

Hahaha.

Anyway, here to proclaim the best ESE outing ever for Year 1 - ESE potluck/stayover on 13th July 2009 (:

(actually I cannot decide which outing is really the best because all the 12 outings totally rocked my socks off.)

It is really super duper seriously fking goooood!

I love my ESE mates to bits and I so promise to blow kisses to them during my gradutaion ceremony.

It was supposed to be potluck but it was freaking funny that none of us could cook =/

So in the end, we dapao-ed 6 pizzas and 50 chicken wings - so fattening

Oreo cheesecake for the June/July babies and of course, poker cards and mahjong and a grad dinner meeting for me, shucks ):

Then a few of us stayed overnight and with that, drinking was inevitable :P

Played just this one and only game - the game of Concentration in 3 levels- and I had to do so many forfeits in 1 night 0.0 0.0 0.0

We all became high a little and started doing stupid stuff like taupoking, adopting each other's names and declaring love for each other - really a good breeding ground for so many scandals (:

Ultimately we sobered ourselves and indulged in a htht session till the next morning - really amusing on how the guys think and view relationships.

I should change my mindset that faithful guys are a dying breed, hahaha (:

After a shrieking-wild night, the survivors settled down to eat roti prata nearby.

Finally, I headed to NUS for oweek dry run but didn't play much because my body was wasted from the many cups of drinking the previous night.

Reflecting back on all my outings with my ESE mates, I'm really glad and feel extremely blessed to be in ESE.

While we may not be the best of buddies, we are close enough to be ourselves and get wild without caring for any restrictions.

While we may keep our secrets close to our hearts, we are also willing to share a bit and a little of ourselves with each other.

While we may not know each other very well, we share a good extent of mutual trust among ourselves.

Thank you, my ESE mates and I owe them a big favour to them (:

Not forgetting the afternoon of the same day too, I did a crazed action at the spur of the moment.

Took a mrt ride to Bueno Vista just to eat durians and slurp rootbeer/icecream with my friends before heading home to collect my camp bag for the ESE potluck.

That's how deranged and spontaneous I am - bring me the challenges and I may step up to them (:

joann is going to remember 13th July 2009 for a long time to come (:

2009-07-10T00:54:00.000-07:00

Hello, my lovely blog (:
ESE Camp has just wrapped up.

Due to a confirmed H1N1 case in Camp Flair, I was put in home quarantine for 1 freaking long week until yesterday which meant an official dropout from the ESE Camp.
Was totally heartbroken to receive the official sms from NUS on day 0 of ESE Camp and I also heard that the manpower was severly killed over there too because there were 8 of my ESE coursemates attending Camp Flair too.
But arhh, some of us couldn't really bear the disappointment of missing out on ESE Camp and so we broke quarantine on Day 6 to attend ESE Camp but only when we were absolutely and perfectly fine without any form of illness - trying to be socially responsible :/
Day 6 was the last day of ESE Camp and we just wanted to witness the beautiful ending to it since we missed out alot on the games ):

So tada, here is one ESE photo which I really love to bits and I hope this momentum will continue to next year where I am passing on my welfare club duties to the younger generation.

Yes, I think I may not be continuing my office term to the 2nd year because I'm having slight troubles clearing my double major on time and I feel like devoting more time to netball from mext year onwards.

ESE Camp has been memorable in its own way (: (: (:

my ese freshie from engin camp hugged me on day 6 (: (: (:

2009-07-05T06:56:00.001-07:00

Another camp tmr - beloved ESE Camp (:
Lalalala

EDITED:
CANNOT GO FOR THE CAMP ALR.
*CRIES*

another MIA period again. oops (:

2009-07-01T08:58:00.000-07:00

Hmmm...
I've been getting questions from friends why I've not been updating my blog.
To put it kindly, I've been rather disturbed by the blog traffic in my absence.
This blog is quite public as quoted by my CTW position paper.
As a result, I'm finding it hard to invest all of my everything into it because yes, I have been wiser on the malicious effects of the internet - dude, this is really childish play.
But that's not to say that I'll drop blogging totally.
Small excerpts of my life will still be broadcasted here.

And so, I am now in CAC Camp as a crashie (:
Believe it, my life is being tormented by the 2 most irritating freshies on earth and probably their OGL too who takes pride in comparing my and his treatment towards the freshies during Engin Camp and CAC Camp -.-

Last news: I may switch completely to my another journal in the near future and yes, it will be private to a tiny few of my friends only (:

joann is on hiatus now and she sort of loves it (:

2009-06-23T23:05:00.000-07:00

Introducing twinnie (:

Alot of people have commented that we look alike.

Actually we cannot really see how so we were playing with my shades in Sentosa (:

But I'm vvv glad to have known her (: (: (: (: (:

Campies-netballers-frisbeers-joggers-councillors-soonmuggers - all in NUS (:

I remember that during the briefing for External Hunt, twinnie went down to the front for the OGL briefing for EH on behalf of her friend. She was wearing the white NUS Fencing shirt and one of my freshies pointed her out to me and said that she looked very familiar to him. I replied back in jest saying "Ohhhh that is me you're thinking of lah. Alot of pple have commented that we look alike. So that's why you find her familiar cos of my face." My freshie started laughing like mad and I remarked that he was too easy to foool. But in the end, he joined the growing number of people in NUS who said that we do look alike -.-

me and twinnie (:

2009-06-20T07:35:00.000-07:00

Back from Engin Camp 09.
And I fell sickkkkkk.
Now battling with sore throat, blocked nose and giddy spells.
I'll have to recover fast before I fly off on 28 June or else I would not be able to go through the tight airport checks :/

I was a councillor for Rondo.
And during the camp, many times I had doubted my abilities to lead Rondo.
The quietness and the sometimes awkward silences.
But at the last day, I found appreciation from my freshies.
The pleasant bdae surprise and the unexpected sabo-ing from them.
I thought I was the quiet one, always hiding and stoning off to space.
But anyway, I am glad to have found friends in my OG, RONDO.

RONDO, RONDO, RONDO (:

2009-06-14T16:34:00.000-07:00

Gone for camp.
Ciao (:

i am not joann lim. hur hur!

EDITED:

The above message was written by me in the dawn of monday at 5.30am where I couldn't sleep and was totally grumpy.

But after having a good sleep in the bright morning (my biological clock is pretty screwed :/) and that it is my chinese birthday today, I am feeling more perky.

Mum is cooking longevity noodles for me right now (: (: (: (: (:

And finally back to the same topic of above - Gone for camp. Ciao (:

i am joann lim. muhahahaha (:

2009-06-11T03:02:00.000-07:00

Joann Lim is finally back from precamp in 3S: short, sweet and super!

And not forgetting that I am sunburnt too in a slight extent.

Okay, pple will not start missing me out in the night, hahaha (:

Every day of the camp was confirmed dirty and wet.

And I ran out of clothes!

Thanks to Bernice and Stanley who helped us to wash our house clothes at Shearas Hall so that I could wear my shirt again for the Sentosa games :D!

I'll have to bring more clothes since I doubt I can try the same trick at Shearas Hall again.

I made new friends in my house, ROLLING STONES and I am kinda thinking that my fellow councillors are really awesome.

I also made an ally with another house, BEE GEES probably because Mabbie is in BG while I am in RS and we really talked too muchhh.

So somehow, the 2 houses became allies and it was very amusing over supper, pool games and sentosa games (:

I'm rather grateful that the precamp has been very productive and the whole house was enthu enough to turn up in majority for most of the games.

There was no stupid excuse of laziness so I got to know my fellow councillors alot alot better.

The RS girls way rock alot!

Now on camp high, I cannot wait for the actual camp to come by (:

plus a few more councillors (:

she had great great great fun during the precamp :D

2009-06-06T01:06:00.000-07:00

Just got informed of the plan.
Initially worried but after the long chat with my dearest gf inside,
I felt alot alot alot better (:
3 cheers for her and my many friends who have spent alot of efforts on it.
In return, I shall PLAY HARD (:

she promised to keep it a secret :D

2009-06-05T12:24:00.000-07:00

Today is National Doughnut Day!

The first friday of June each year (:

So I finally had my favourite donut, Power POP from Donut Empire!
Muahahhahaha I am still craving for more from JCO Donuts!

it is very true that her sensors are only receptive to food :P

2009-06-04T00:24:00.000-07:00

Days Out with Mafia yesterday!

I thank my lucky stars that yesterday was really a goooooooooooood cloudy windy day because I've been tanned too much to the extent of sunburnt-ing from my twice-weekly swimming hobby ):
There was me, Bren, Stan, Dex and Merv plus our sense of fun :)
1st was bowling where I had failed utterly as a player...
2nd was roller-blading where I has failed utterly even more.
I became the last and I felt quite bad for dragging all of them to wait for me :/
I sucked at slopes and Dex had to push me up in one of the slopes 0.o
Oh did I mention that I met my downfall at the slope too? And Stan and Dex witnessed it, arhhh so unglam.... So now, I'm nursing a really pretty bruise in my knee :)
Towards the end, I became a slowpoke and simply hitched a ride from Merv/Bren's double bike and Stan's bike.
But Stan's bike was AWFULLY FREAKING FAST which, I think, was my fastest rollerblading speed ever in my entire life 0.o 0.o 0.o
I think I screamed a couple of times for him to slow down but meanie Stan didn't want to stop until I had to let go of him.
But thanks thanks thanks to him, I managed to reach the shop on time at exactly 6.22pm, 3 minutes before my time was up (The shop assistant was the very cheapo kind, waiting eagerly to tax any latecomer.....)
Then dinner-ing at ECP where I finally had my satay! 20 sticks in total - Allejula!
Pigged out too much and went for a stroll along the beach at night :)

Thanks Mafia, I really had great fun yesterday :)
The next time we go on ECP, let's include a picnic and water activities :P
Muhahahah :)

PS: I'm so going on a double bike next time! Rollerblading unglams me!

she was realllllly happy ytd :D

2009-06-02T10:31:00.000-07:00

NUS Engin Camp is coming!
Hopefully please please please there will be more councillors to join by then.
If not, I will just have to be more rah rah than ever.
At the risk of losing my voice.
But when I think of Engin Camp last year, I know that this year's camp is going to be one awesome rocking event (:

My camp clique which will be offically 1 year old on 16 June
(the 1st day of Engin Camp last year and again this year (: )

back to good old ale days (:

2009-05-29T08:05:00.000-07:00

29th May 2009

2am - Spammed my coussie's msg box.
4am - Korean-watched "That Fool" in mysoju.com.
5am - Tossed alot in bed with the fan blasting at full speed.
8am - Dreamt of the warning letter in the Harry Potter style, the famous Howler 0.o .
9am - Slept like a pig but hovering between reality and dreamland.
10am - Looked and what shocked me the most:

Overall, my CAP has improved by the tiniest bit which is quite a relief since I remember blasting on my blog a few weeks ago on embarking the NUS 2nd year with a drastically-deproved CAP :/
However I was more amazed that both my EG and CS modules have passed.
The so-called drama over giving up on one of these 2 and then retaking that module next sem: fortunately, God has been very kind to me to prevent this horrendous situation now when I reflect back.

EG1109 - Getting a C+ is a miracle since I have failed both mid-terms rather terribly. This only means that my whole final exam sheet of crap and scribble had somehow made sense to the marker. While I do miss EG1108, I'm awfully glad that I do not have be put through EG1109 again. Phew -.-

CS1101C - I think this module is grossly practising favouritism to men only. The complex terms and alien workings and endless programmes totally elude my mind or more accurately, the female's too as judging from my ESE girlfriends' convos too. B- means that I did not screw up my final exam with many many many thanks to my *cough cough* guyfriends who listened to my constant endless irritating whining and complaining about CS just the night before my actual CS exam. I seriously owe Ruppy a big treat (:

For the other modules, they honestly fall short of my expectations but they have a fairly good grade each so I shouldn't be a whiny baby and complain too much. For now, I've the fire to work hard next semester and push my CAP upwards somemore (:

This results mark the end of my NUS freshie year and while the showing of this sem seems pretty decent, this has better not be my best showing in my 4 years of NUS.
At the very least, I'm not starting my NUS 2nd year on a bad start (:

she still thinks in this way: STUDY hard, PLAY HARDER (:!

2009-05-26T09:37:00.000-07:00

Uh oh.

Today was a big big big day of many guilty pleasures :D

Couldn't swim today because of a sad issue so went suntanning with Bren.

Touched on many issues and witnessed an interesting event in the pool.

Had korean food which was MASSIVE ( feeling paiseh to push the later date to a later time 0.o )

Went shopping and spent a little which should be okay (:

Then met Mabbie to celebrate her 20th bdae!

A pity that all our cheeky smses on her actual bdae didn't take place today.

*DRATS* Hahahha (:

Still we celebrated it with much fanfare on shopping, gossiping, binging, caking and lastly, drinking of course for her BIG 2 at the Giraffe again!

So glad that she loves the dress I gave her and the cake I bought for her :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY TO YOU, MABELL!

HAPPY DEAR BIRTHDAY TO YOU (:

she had a great time with Mabbie today (:

2009-05-22T08:14:00.000-07:00

Sorry for being in hiatus for a LOOOOOOOOOONG time!
I must admit that for the past few days, I had been v v v involved in watching the latest Korean drama which is

BOYS OVER FLOWERS (F4) (:

I have completed 25 episodes in total with each taking about 90 mins and all in the fastest speed of 6 days only.
And my most honest conclusion is that THE SHOW IS REALLY REALLY SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ROMANTIC!
Hahahaha, I know that I am sounding like a bimbo here but I wish that someone will do the same to me in the romantic acts only like what Gu Jun Pyo did for Geum Jan Di.
Just that special action of hugging to keep warm together instead of the standard gentleman tactic of providing a jacket for the girl in a couple will be my downfall, I'm pretty sure.
A pity that Singapore has no winter.
Should I have the same ulterior motive as my cunning friend and learn Korean so that I can head to Korea for my SEP and fall into a whirlwind romance?
HAH :P!

she is being giggly-silly bimbo :P

2009-05-17T11:10:00.000-07:00

Dear friends, I'm so sorry but I doubt that bren dear will lose the top girlfriend title of mine for a long time to come.
Chatting with her is way sweeter than ice cream and honey (:

And why guys are so simple and complicated?
I'm washing my hands off them, period.

she's meeting bren dear very soon soooooon :)

2009-05-13T04:08:00.000-07:00

Yeeeeeeee Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Today Joann finally stopped being a pig.
Jogged all the way to Temasek Poly and back to her house.
With some unfortunately and very frequently lazy walking too :/
My body is indeed old ):
After 2 hours, my body lactic acid concentration seems to be still high as I can sense.
Shucks am I ready for the touchdown this Sat?

she is an old grandma with a creaky body for one day.

2009-05-12T08:58:00.000-07:00

LIGHTS OUT WITH CORNY TODAY!!

Hahahaha this is not a perverted post (:

Much of our outing today was spent under the dark.

Pool-playing cum ball-smashing cum terrible-skills :/

Ben&Jerry ice creammmmmm in this ultra super cool rock cafe in the Cathay!

Happy drinking with FRUIT JUICES (: on the super huge couches.

Wish Tuna was here with us! Then we could have played more wicked games! Muhahahah :)

Oh yea, that is how shorter my hair is now and I am lovin' it alot :D!

she was being a narcisstic bitch today :P

2009-05-11T08:01:00.000-07:00

Cut my hair short!
Not very short since I can still have my ponytail though it is shorter, thinner and cuter :P
Also bought my dearie Coussie a birthday cake and her mum treated me to pizza for dinner afterwards.
4 huge pizzas and I was totally on cloud nine after chopping down 4 big slices.
Shit, holidays is my eating sprees 0.o
Meeting fat, adorable Corny tmr. YAYS!

why am I getting fatter ):?

2009-05-09T08:25:00.000-07:00

I'm in a serious panic mood since I am checking my nus account everyday for it 0.o

I'm starting to feel like my sister who is now waiting :/

2009-05-07T08:59:00.000-07:00

Even sweeter when you celebrate it big with friends :)

When camps start coming by these holidays,
If he finds someone he likes among them,
I'll be happy for him, I promise.

it is a big different meaning altogether (:

2009-05-03T06:53:00.000-07:00

Maybe I should start dropping hints that I want a walk-in wardrobe :)
I'm so in love with drape vests and blazers!

shhhh she online-shops :)

2009-05-02T09:29:00.000-07:00

I have gotten a bigger bed!
Hahahaha in a literal way because the "bed" is still the same old lovable bed I have been sleeping on for 9 years.
I'm quite surprised that my bed still hasn't collapsed from my huge weight :/
Actually, my new bed has more space around it for me to stick my legs out.
Hahahaha actually I am rather tall for my bed.
Friends who have been to my house may recall a little that my bed has 3 and a half tiny "walls" around it and so when I toss or stretch my body, BANG!
My hands and legs would hit the "walls" real hard and then I would wake up, yelling in pain.
Fortunately nightmares are scarce in my dreams and so my sister wouldn't have the agony of waking up too because of me making so much noises since we share the same room.
Hence for the past 5 years when I experienced a steady growth to 168cm, I've been moaning and whining to my parents to either let me have my own room or a bigger bed with more roomy space.
I prefer the latter in the light of the many bimbotic chats I would have with my sister in our bedroom while blowing our hairs dry and talking about everything.
And so my wish got granted and my whole family, including DAD (who came back :D) did a bit of Home DIY in our bedroom on Friday, the beginning of my holidays (: .
Since I chose to opt out of the drilling, painting and vacuuming, I had to take up the finishing task of mopping our bedroom floor and after all this, I'm proud of my effort done for our bedroom!
Now my "bed" has lengthened and so I can stretch to my fullest length!
And oh I heard that stretching your body every morning after waking up will make you grow taller :)
I still want my ideal height of 172cm, please.........
(A two-decade-long wish :D )

she had fun DIY-ing with her family :)

2009-04-30T08:13:00.000-07:00

*Drumrolls!

I've just cleared the last exam - MA1506 - of my 1st year in NUS.
Now I'm no longer the stupid, blur, sotong & forever-getting-lost-in-NUS freshie.
I'm proudly a sophomore, young and pretty (:
I think I should be able to enter Year 2 but with a badly screwed CAP definitely, judging from the latest mass-genocide of my brain cells from my 5 horrendous papers.
I'm definitely leaving the 1st academic year with a painful heart unfortunately but arh well, I shall end off the whole 1st year with camps and days of island life and trips (:
Time to roll out the carpet and bring the fun, folks!

on the way to chop the beach! CHOP CHOP CHOP (:

2009-04-28T22:30:00.000-07:00

Merry, merry, merry-go-round.
Go round on and on, my big fat ass.

dude dude dude o.0

2009-04-28T11:28:00.000-07:00

It is not called a holiday if there is not at least a sunny day of island life in it :)

Woohoo, here I come in 2 days' time because there is still the MA1506 exam!

she is becoming fairer. Horrified ): . My tanning buddy, when are you free!!

2009-04-27T10:02:00.000-07:00

SUCKYYYYYYYY EG.
I just knew it.
The exam is totally terrible.
Shucks shucks shucks :(

On a brighter note, look like my CS Lab is not as terribly done as I thought.
Total marks for CS lab is slightly below average.
Hah, I can brag to people that I know teensy weensy computer skills to boast about. Nah nah, I'm taking back my words!
But then again, the CS theory exam was a total killer and it may pull me down to the pit of the abyss but for now, I have the fleeting hope that I wouldn't fail CS after all (:
Yays, so much for my dramatic choice of retaking EG or CS next semester.
But EG, sigh~

she got killed by the stupidest EG theory exam on Earth ):

2009-04-26T01:18:00.000-07:00

MLEMLEMLEMLELEMLE (:
and EGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEG ):

I am not so an idiot, HAH (:

2009-04-25T02:11:00.000-07:00

Thanks for all the lovely well-wishes :)
They have indeed prevented me from barking mad and doing a "NUS-Spidey" in the MPSH just now during the CS exam.
Yes CS is FUCKING OVER!
Whoopees.
Never have I met a subject that I hate to the cores of the earth.
And when someone celebrated over the ending of CS exam in the forum using big capital letters "BYEBYE CS1101C", a tutor immediately replied "See you in CS1102C.".
Call it sour milk spilled.
Hahahaha okay, I haven't burnt my CS textbook yet.
Because I'm going to be even more wicked to the texxie.
Muhahahahahahahhaha!

An apple pie was her celebrationary gift just now :)

2009-04-24T08:37:00.000-07:00

The first thing I would like to do tomorrow at 3pm is to

I love orientation camps.
And I miss them!
Being part of the planning committee doubles the fun of everything :)

*This post is about living beyond death. So if you are uncomfortable with it, you can skip reading this post :)*

I have thought about it before. But I never felt an urge to pen it down.
My first urge was after reading an illuminating article writen by a free-thinker whose family is Buddhist.
However in his article, he didn't include any hint of Buddhism at all.
Rather, it was his free thoughts of humanity and moral "good"s which I happen to subscribe to.
The second urge was after reading Hauen's blog who shared her Christians views on the same topic. Hauen was active yet passive, taking things slowly and showing her faith in Jesus passionately.
The final urge was from Rach's blog who described fear for the unknown beyond death and her child-love for her parents who are free-thinkers.

I may be Buddhist but this post will be free of religion.
I do not attack religions because I acknowledge them as unique faiths the people have welcomed into their lives.

Rach's statement:
Why non-Christians who never did any wrong don't go to heaven after death?
Rach, being a compassionate person, worries that people who go into hell will suffer alot which is quite true.
Hell is usually associated with the devil, pain and sufferings.
She also worries for her parents who are free-thinkers and thus may not have an avenue to go to after death.

This post reminds me of a JC essay I did in TJC 2 years back when my brain was still-not-that-so-rusty.
For the essay, it was purely my simple views which I shared with my GP teacher since it was not graded but I felt intriguied by the topic sentence to write:
Religion serves no purpose. Do you subscribe to this view?
For this essay, I had gotten a neat 37 out of 50 but still, I have never delved into religion issues for my GP exams because religion is quite a double-edged sword if not probably dealt with.
In my essay, I wrote about how religion brings hope and faith to the believers but my essay was tending more towards the free-thinkers as a balance.
Unsurprisingly, life beyond death was one of the key points I commented on.

A year into my university, I have somehow matured & indeed become old :(.
Many life experiences along the way have changed my perceptions of life beyond death.
I do wonder if there is really only heaven and hell beyond death.
Would it be too ridiculous to assume that but ultimately, that leaves much to my imagination.
I feel that life beyond death is not necessarily a bad thing always.
Because life beyond death is often shaped by life before death.
To cite a few examples, Buddhism believes in karma while Christanity believes that people who have not admitted their sins will end up in Hell, being trapped by Satan.
This is rather a cause-and-effect situation brought by people's actions in their lives.
On a brighter note, I feel that it is possible to go heaven even in life.
It is all in the basis of moral "good"s and humanity that allows me to feel peace in my current state.
While I may have erred like many people out there in the world, I have also acknowledged my mistakes and learnt from them.
This is the practice which may very well pave a beautiful life beyond death, I strongly believe in.
Christanity speaks of Jesus dying for the people's sins and that the people weeping and repenting.
In Buddhism's hell, there is a belief that there is a grading system in place to evaluate the merit accumulated by a person in her living life.
I feel that all religions are fair and much depends on the people's actions in the living world that shapes life beyond death.
Hell, Heaven or a middle perhaps will not be different as long as you have not done anything that compromises the humanity of life.
Having respect for yourself and for others is a basic moral good.
Perhaps for me, the unknown beyond death is not scary because in my heart, I know that I have not cheated anyone and have indeed led a life of humanity.
This rather applies to everyone in general and independent of religion though I understand the strong faiths and miracles religion can bring to a believer.
That's why I am still a Buddhist :)

she shared some of her views in a while :)

2009-04-15T05:35:00.001-07:00

I have many ant bites on my hands.
Saw a doc in NUS and he said that the ant bites are acidic and that they come from fire ants :/
I did not tell him where I got them from but a good piece of advice from the doc was that the place is highly dangerous and cannot be occupied for more than 30 minutes in the same location.
Because a significant part of Singaporeans is allergic to their bites.
I am lucky not to be one but they are very very itchy now :(
Got some anti-itching cream and I have to refrain from squeezing the water-filled pimples.
But still, I am tramuatised :(

If you have ant bites too, I think the first-aid box may have the cream or you can search online on how to control the itchness.

ermmm ermmm :(

2009-04-15T05:07:00.000-07:00

*Victory sign*
My CS Lab is over!
No more fornightly heart attacks again.
And the good news is that I finally pass all the tests in Task 1 out of the 2 tasks!
Although my Task 2 that has the bigger percentage is most liekly to flunk again since I fail all the tests.
Still this reminds me of a lousy lousy main course but with a very sweet dessert that makes me a little happier afterwards.
And because of the best dessert, I manage to find the perservance to work damm harder for my theory paper then :)

Continued from Mabbie's post, To know the value of Passing One Test Straight, ask me who has always failed it straight for the past 4 labs.

Look like I'm still in the happy mood :)
Man, I'm craving for brownie tmr 0.o

Today's was kinda ESESC last official meeting since this is the last week of school before exams.
There is still the holiday plans for the orientation freshman camp and phew, I managed to evade the positions of being a councillor and being an ogl again.
I am obviously not rah-rah enough to be either!!
I'm more interested to be in the games comm so that I can sabo the freshies and the councillors during the camp games :D!
By the time the new year is commenced, we'll all be busy with the 2nd ESESC batch elections into the club again.
But I'll fondly miss all my year 2s seniors who have been very passionate about the club.
Being the pioneer batch is not easy and I'm glad to have my seniors to go to for guidance.
While my seniors being the oldest in the club have nobody to refer to but stuck it out all with their guts and passion to let the year 2008/2009 pass fulfilling.
Today was very memorable for me and to show my appreciation, I went on a hugging spree with my seniors (female only!).
Now I'm undecided to continue my service for next year in ESESC because I've been wanting to try competitive frisbee in my Year 2.
On top of that, I have been getting fat again. *poke my tummy*
I'm way past my touch-rug good years.
OMG OMG OMG! NOOOOOOOOO!

When you have loved even for a moment only, you have indeed spent that moment well :)

2009-04-13T05:52:00.000-07:00

I have the fastest speed of transtition-ing from a totally depressed emo girl to a jubliant & relieved girl in 10 seconds.
All thanks to lovely YX, Jaslin, MJ, Lychee and many guy coursemates of mine for helping me out.
Yupp no guy names mentioned because i think my girl-friends are great, greater and the greatest.

I'M GETTING OLD AND UNGLAM.
*panic mode*
I don't want to go back to facebook already :(
Too many unglam pictures of me on the loose already.
For now, I shall stick to taking photos with Bren dear :)

Had few rounds of friendly captain's ball games yesterday in a competition.
Excuse for the severely-hungry mosquitoes 0.o and the alarmingly number of ants 0.o 0.o 0.o on the ground, it progressed well until a 4pm downpour spoilt (or did it not :)? ) the event and all of us were shrieking and running back to MHI for shelter.
I missed haunny so I gave her a long hug :)
Won a free movie ticket to Cathay and so friends, start asking me out for a movie to Cathay soon :P!

But I must admit that my body is getting old....
Running 5km continuously or swimming 30 laps without stopping is not a problem :)
But a few short games of captain's ball have left me with a creaking back the next day :/
Fortunately (or unfortunately :( )the swimming plans for today have been cancelled or else I will definitely be a stiff block of wood probably stuck in the middle of the pool.
Now I'm having problems straightening and bending my back.
Hopefully, it will go away tomorrow.
Otherwise, tomorrow's photo session will again bring more UNGLAM photos of me being a crooked robot since I'm now reduced to walking kind of awkwardly at home :/
Shucks shucks shucks.

And not forgetting the blk 85 date yesterday!
It was lovely, the gaga and the chatters over everything.
Boy, I want more of this :)
With other friends too!
PS: I still haven't tried the porridge since we had a seafood feast yesterday again!

she laughed it all off today at 3.30pm.

2009-04-10T04:11:00.000-07:00

Brenda, we are still young at heart and in mind :)

I think we are amazingly better than before.

*BIG GRIN*

2009-04-09T08:53:00.000-07:00

Tom is back :)
Many things happened today and I couldn't help reflecting on them.
But I'm glad for my many thoughts which I finally figured out.

she got captured twice again :)

2009-04-07T10:01:00.000-07:00

Byebye, deadlinesssssss. (DUH!)
I have completed every single one of them!
The past 3 weeks have been extremely fast-forward and back then, I did have several urges to simply collapse and throw a tantrum in not wanting to go back to school.
Many thanks to girlfriend Bren for making me laugh with her numerous cute antics as usual :)
And I shall not drink water with her again - she always makes me laugh and want to puke out whenever I am drinking water, a grand total of 3 times already. UNGLAM, man 0.o
Many thanks to Couzzie, Mabbie and Corny for being in the receiving ends of my foolish "rants" - I mean as in confiding, not scolding them.
Many thanks to the guys in my cliche for being able to survive despite a depressed, raving-mad and silly lunatic by their sides for the whole 3 weeks.
And to Tommy, shucks sorry for overworking you.
Take a short break first before I take you back :(
(PS, Tommy is my favourite laptop!)

Moving on,
1. Dinner dates on Thurs and Sat :D
2. Captain's Ball on Sat
3. Group Proj on Sun (my parts are done! GRINNNNNNNNNNNN...)
4. Camps
5. Endless mugging for exams 3 weeks away. OMG OMG OMG.

but I'm happy today!

she feels refreshingly accomplished today :)

2009-04-04T11:04:00.000-07:00

I am so proud of my sister.
Because in her, I see a hardworking girl with acute business sense.
A girl who constantly thinks of ways to market her business more attractively.
A girl who goes the extra miles for unreasonable customers.
But still a strong girl with her own principles she firmly stands by.

Not like me who will probably "KABOOM!" my business with the hollow brain and the impatient and uncaring character of mine inside :(

BUT I'M VERY PROUD OF MY LITTLE SIS :)

the girl smiled at her sis today at 2.10am.

2009-04-04T01:20:00.000-07:00

Dedicated to this longlonglong-time girlfriend of mine :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may be embarking on different paths.

But at the end of the day, you will have someone to fall back on.

I am always close by as your friend.

Cheer up :D

Talking 'bout it with mabbie today in the train is just so great!
Well, at least she is not trying to fix me up which my two dear friends are apparently thinking of.

And the irony of it too.
Hahahahaahha..

The Weekend!

2009-03-20T07:12:00.000-07:00

Finally a cool decent sleep tonight into waking up even later than my sister tmr!
I'm kind of contemplating to spend half of my Saturday, napping like a pig on my favourite sofa.
Awwww but next week is the BIG DEADLINE.
Totally doomed lah.

MNO IA and project. Sigh.
MA tutorial and lab. Sigh.
EG tutorial. Sigh Sigh.
CS lab. Sigh Sigh Sigh Sigh Sigh.
MLE tutorial :): Love the hmk actually!

Will be swimming this Sunday :)

Shucks, a good swing of fridged Tiger Beer down will be marvellous now.
I can't believe my friend has dozens of it in his fridge :(

Huh huh?

2009-03-19T09:38:00.000-07:00

My fellow coursemates have a mind too imaginative if you ask me.
Just look at facebook and our scandalious Javier to update the latest news lurking among the Eve Eng community.
Hmmm :)

NUS Open House

2009-03-15T08:45:00.000-07:00

The NUS Open House is a success!
According to my definitions, I mean.

What is Open House without "fighting" with other councillors for our own freshies, being kiasu once in a while to grab free balloons and goodie bags, checking out the crowd for real quality control stuff and finally the massive camwhoring without the slightest notice at the *ermm ermm* funny attention we may seek :D?

The Councillors on the Roll!

Our biggest feat so far in the Open House: getting a rocking total number of 30 freshies for our CAC Camp OG when we actually need around 10 freshies per OG.

Kudos to Brenda for her unstoppable charm in chatting with the freshies - I forgot to bring my charm, I brought my forgetfulness >.<

RP, you owe all of us Iced Mochas for attracting so many freshies for your CAC Camp!

On top of that, I had a small chat with my Env Eng senior and I was surprised to find out that alot of people was interested in knowing more about Env Eng. Hopefully, more juniors will come our way though I'm afraid the department may put a cap on the number of freshies.

NUS Open House tastes even sweeter than a tub of Ben&Jerry's ice cream with a good company to rock with :D.
(But sorry guys, my sis' cheese-sausage prata tasted the best on that day!)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..

2009-03-12T04:05:00.000-07:00

Although it is very fattening, I must still say that oreo cookies directly after dinner taste simply marvellous.
Awww shucks, more calories and to think my health report is so depressing.
Back to mugging and cookies in NUS :)

*Weeee Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I want to go cycling!*

Break Break Break TMR :D

2009-03-10T10:17:00.000-07:00

Yays, it is my long long long deserved break!
Since the Maths Midterms last Weds, I've been bottled up to my neck or even overshooting my nostrils with many activities till today.
And the guilty thing is that my activities do not contain any element of mugging anymore.
Oh no, where has the dead-JC-mugger of Joann Lim disappeared too?

Went to 2 bdae parties over the weekend and it is very very very joyful to be in the middle of a celebration.
Hmmm.. I'm kind of so excited into deciding to organize one for myself.
But I must admit that I suck at organizing and most probably, on the big day itself, my guests will end up with no food because I'm a super klutz 0.o
Ah well, nvm!
I'm still EARLY YEARS away from 21st :D.
Shall look forward to dearie's special dishes: possible June chalet and possible HK July trip :)
(Name cannot be said because none has been confirmed.)

Next week is NUS Open House.
As expected, I will have to fish among the crowd as part of my eve eng duties and also about the "EXCITING" CAC Camp.
Dear friends, shouldn't we be thinking of roping more girls into our OG for Engin Camp instead??
Hahahahahaha :D

Break TMR.
I'm going to wake up at 12pm tmr!
MUHAHAHAHAHHA :)

Peaceeeeeee.

2009-03-07T10:35:00.001-08:00

Bye bye, mid terms!!!
I'm done with all!
Phew phew though I got this nagging feeling that I have screwed up somewhere which I'm trying to ignore.

Sis's Alevels results are out and I am extremely relieved and glad for her :D.
I'm not at liberty to say them out here but I reckon that I'll be seeing alot of her in NUS certainly or she may go to NTU for pursuing her interests in a specific double major since NUS doesn't offer it - SHUCKS :(
In short, my whole family is quite overjoyed and so we celebrated it today with dinner at Ajisen Ramen, Sis's favourite.

Yays, my sis and I can go shopping finally :D
Hahahahah with the nice reward from Dad & Mum, will Sis care to contribute to my jacket-bag-clothes fund now because i'm totally broke?
Hee hee hee too happy for my family :)

URGH URGH.

2009-03-04T19:11:00.001-08:00

That is what I'm pretty feeling like now :(
Stay away - you're advised.

Rack the brains, man.

2009-03-02T07:21:00.000-08:00

My senior is throwing her 21st bdae party soon :)

One. I'm considering buying her a sweet bottle of Perfume probably from Body Shop or Sasa because frankly, I myself has no idea what a 21-yr-old girl wants or needs since I'm not 21 myself yet (PHEW.)
But, I think I can be accurate to say that a girl would love to smell good and with her super good looks, she's sure to be even more stunning than she has always been now in NUS :)

Two. Her bdae party theme is the Olympics and her trick is that the people must be able to identify immediately what sport the person plays from own sport attire which is *hur hur* kinda tricky.
Other than wearing t-shirts and fbt shorts in all my life and not forgotting my JC touch rug school singlet, I'm afraid that I've absolutely no idea on what to wear.
Worst come to worst, I'll retreat back to my touch ruggirt though I would love to be a tennis player because I think all the top female players look hot :D.
A tennis racket in hand already, what is missing is the correct attire and OH the mandatory basic tennis skills!

Argh argh argh :"(

Huh Huh.

2009-02-28T09:36:00.000-08:00

MLE1101 mid-term totally sucked.
It reminded me of the EG1108 prelab video which was so irritating being replayed on and on like some stupid nagging.
The calculations were murderous and there was this most-freaky stupidest option of "None of these answers.".
My gosh, like what the hell?
I left the MPSH feeling one sorta of a bitch, totally sian and even more cheated of some certainty in my answers.
Kudos to my girlfriends for cheering me up afterwards :)
We're on the same boat of our proudest environmental engineering!
Lalalalala :D

*An afterthought: I despise long-long-long-whiny people.*

ESESC: Friends in the Sun

2009-02-23T20:26:00.000-08:00

Yes, it is supposedly to be the mugging week for the upcoming dreaded midterms.

But still, heck care.

It is time for ESESC to soak in the sun and sweat it out.

After the general meeting, some of us headed to Sentosa for a day of shrieks and fun.

Beach Volleyball (I got kaboomed by a ball from my own team mate!) , captain's ball, frisbee and touch rugby (YAYS! I totally miss playing it :D )

And inevitably, girl-dunking by the guys >.<

Well, I didn't get dunked because I refused to be dunked, citing reasons to my big blop of fats in my tummy.

So, Johnny and JinHsien pulled me into a fast sprint on the sand and thus flew into the sea simultaneously.

I got scratched in my knee and it bled quite a lot so the 2 guys panicked.

They made it up later by treating me to dinner at Kim Gary restaurant. (I purposely ordered cheap food. I'm so nice right?)

It was 100% pain and 1000% fun :D

CS WAR!

2009-02-21T22:42:00.000-08:00

I absolutely declare war on CS!
CS is totally cheating people of their feelings and hard efforts.
Now I can understand the agony of missing out just one character that can cause the whole program to go BONKERS.
Me cheated because of a tiny, infinitesimally, innocent yet totally wicked 'a'!
Bren because of a dumb ';'!
Arh so apologetic towards Stanley and Meryvn for being taken for a stupid ride in my program.
And the worst feeling is that I didn't find the mistake but someone pointed it out in the forum.
I'm pretty as much lost as before in CS -.-
I've really banged myself against the wall a few times after discovering the mistake in my program much to the horrors of my mum and sis who thought that I have gone mad.
Yes, I have seriously gone crazy over CS.
Boo boo boo..

Edited:
Stanley said that I should be nicer to CS and it will love me back.
Alright, I shall be nice to CS as long as it doesn't give me any grey hair.
Honestly, I think I have thousands of grey hair in my head because of stressful NUS though I haven't detected any yet.
BOOOO NUS's making me old!
Alright, simmer down......

Can't think of one anyway.

2009-02-14T09:22:00.000-08:00

Shucks I have been ignoring my swimming love for a couple of weeks.
Probably since I started painting which means that the last time I swam was the day when my hp got stolen :(.
Yes now I seriously need to lose weight because of the upcoming *ermm ermm* health checkup so yupp the rest is history.
So my first swimming love of 2009 is with Bren tmr :D.
Dum dum, I'm gaining a very stubborn tummy. *Poke poke*

Arh yes, did you know that yesterday was Friday the 13th 0.o
Mabbie told me so we laughed it off by fighting over ML.
Hahahaha I still declare that he is mine - Mabbie has way too many of her own.
He is freaking cool and adorable with his fighting skills and hahahaha Mabbie and I were gushing over him.
It was a really good laugh I had with her ytd.
Thanks Mabbie :D

At last.

2009-02-13T08:59:00.000-08:00

Yes Yes, I've finally known what I was actually looking for.
Now I'm ready for my EG test on a Valentine's Day >.< even though I know that I may probably be handing in rubbish.
The dumps that has overwhelmed me recently has been released though there is still an important task which I must definitely do.
Exams are nearing shucks shucks.
But enjoy your lovely Valentine's Day <3, friends :D

*Will be blogging less definitely since I am now up to the neck with projects and council meetings. I will also need my blogging fairy - blogging fairy, where are you too? (quoted from Hauen)

Need a Break.

2009-02-09T07:03:00.000-08:00

Alright, I've messed up my timetable real bad.
Missed some lessons accidentally and almost forgot some pressing deadlines.
Worst is that even during lectures or tutorials now, I'm reduced to making small chats, poking Stanley frequently and daydreaming.
Woah woah this is real shit.

The Cookie Monster!

2009-02-06T23:27:00.000-08:00

Hello! Good News!!
I've been promoted from fat cat to cookie monster!
My sis is also promoted to Elmo!
Hahahaha for the upcoming Valentine's Day, I've made plans already :D
My sis also made plans and one of them was baking cookies.
So yupp, she's baking cookies last night to give out to her darlings today at MJ.
Being the most helpful and kindest sister on earth, I helped her out with the packaging of the cookies into cute tiny purplish-ribbon bags.
However, being slighty hungry and mischievious, I also hijacked some of the bags and ate few cookies from them happily.
Well, my sis caught me and so I got this proud name of mine - Cookie Monster :P
I must agree that my sis bakes very nice cookies!
Maybe I can be her manager and so sell those cookies off at high prices
with a magnificient name:

biscuits aux pepites de cholocat merveilleuse

Now I'm thinking of tackling strawberry-jam butter cookies which are Bren and my favourite :D

Man, I am in need of cookies.

COOKIES! COOKIES! COOKIES!

:D

I love Apple 3.14159 :D

Hello Hello!

2009-01-31T20:36:00.001-08:00

Ho ho ho my blog has been collecting dust.
Sorry, dear :)
And do I see some persistent spiders in here? Hmm..

I want to blog about something but recently these days have been too filled up to the max with laughter.
I just cannot find a way to express them all.
Anyway, in short, I'm real glad to have a memorable week.
My sister says that because of my face, I will have many friends :)
I'm enjoying my life in uni now and managing to hold on far without fainting halfway all because of really good friends in NUS too.
Luckily we are all of the same kind: not able to concentrate long in lectures and the occassional poking around :D
And lastly, Bren, I miss you :D!

*Ouch I am sunburnt but nevertheless, kudos to me for making my event a success :D!
Proud to be the project director of the ESE Games Day!
Haahaahaa I know I'm VERY THICK SKINNED LAH :D

Chinatown!

2009-01-25T02:49:00.000-08:00

Change of plans at the last minute so we all headed to Chinatown to soak in the CNY spirit.
It was really packed but real good.
Met a few of my friends and gosh, mabel cut her long beautiful hair away :(
There is this friend who is already an entrepreneur in photography at the age of 22 years old only! He is my coursemate :).
He has set up an agency with his friend who was also around in Chinatown and he showed me many pictures which looked very surreal.
Kudos to him!
We talked a little bit in the train ride while my family was looking on and my sis kept giving me playful looks.
Hahahaha this whole scene is really funny because my env eng friends suspect that he likes another coursemate of ours too but when I kept on asking him, he always said TALK COCK lah. On top of my sister's "suspicions", it is like an oil and water combination :D
Quite an opening experience in Chinatown yesterday because never went back to there for like 5 years, i guess :)

But AWWWWW, I couldn't go to the NUSSU bash! Heard from friends that it was a sensation! Hahaaha too bad I missed the exciting show :(

Nononono........

Warning: A mushy-puking post ahead. (Def not suitable for Uncle RP :D )

I don't want to switch my MNO sectional class!!!!!!!!!!!
The NUS Biz Sch just notified me that they are having problems switching me to my favourite MNO class.
Yes actually, it is NOT the module that is exciting and is making me want to do the Tom-Cruise-couch jumping.
It is actually the company.
The lecturer is a total meanie by refusing to give us any breaks for the whole straight 3 hours.
So I was "having fun" with Bren last tues, staring at the clock continuously and lip-talking over people's heads since we are in different teams.
And my team is a finally all-girls affair :D so somehow our team discussions would sometimes get side-tracked to shopping and movies stuff.
Talk about compulsory team participation - Ha Ha!
Finally, there is this cute angmoh guy in this very same class that looks like a thinner version of David Beckham with a just-nice stubble and bigger almond eyes.
Hahahaha so much for JC being harder than university - I think it is much harder in uni with so many distractions around d:

Warning: Flaming Post.

After the chats, I'm really convinced abt my impression of you.
I'm not just the only one feeling the blunt of your knife or multiple knives.
My simple advice to you is never to assume that you are informed of everything and hence this gives you the approval to ask dumb, dumber and dumberer questions.
There is a correct place and timing to ask such questions but believe me, you lack the knowledge to know when and sometimes in negative language.
You are my friend but I'm truly sorry that there is no more grounds into greater friendship because I actually couldn't stand you quite a long time ago.
I foresee that I will flare up at you pretty soon and when that day comes, you will know who you are and that you will have to change from that moment on.
Otherwise with that behaviour going on, you will not only lose my respect but others, whom you may never expect at all, too.

Bak Bak Bak Kwa Kwa Kwa!!

2009-01-18T01:47:00.000-08:00

Bak Kwa with its generous fats and crisps.
I want to eat bak kwa!
*Munch munch munch on imaginary bak kwa*
Hey it is plain air - totally tasteless.
Wah wah!!
Alright, now i'm really on the road to recovery :D
And now i am being tempted to eat all the deep fried food especially Macs apple pie.
Sorry for such an emotional post ytd 0.o
This is what happens when the peak of illnesses starts to haunt you.

Still on BAK BAK BAK KWA KWA KWA!

God!

2009-01-17T09:19:00.000-08:00

I am feeling very awful right now.
Hitted by persistent coughs, terrible headaches and a just-massive giddy spell.
@#$%^*#$%#@!
Feel like calling in sick on Monday but Monday has a council presentation.
Aww shit :(
*feel like crying into my pillow*

Am I really being anemic as my sis guess?
:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Bum bum bum!

2009-01-14T08:00:00.000-08:00

I think I am getting abit too high.

There is so many tempting offers zooming past me and leaving me running after them eagerly only then to stop after realising that my Sem 1 CAP is on the rocks.

There is the NUSSU Bash coming up which has a quirky theme: Geek or Glam and of course, I will definitely choose GEEK! Being glam all the time is no fun and if I really go, I think I will dress up in my school uniform and scare the Zouk bouncers out of their lives by insisting that I am only a primary school kid with just a very old face d: (I still have my primary kid ezlink card!)

Awww, anybody interested? Tell me and I will go with you cos I will make a nice company :) (Nothing to do with my drinking craving or what!)

There is also the recruitment of Sports Camp 09 committee drive now which frankly make me hopping around in excitement for it but my commitments are now slightly heavy on hand.

But the commitments will not be as badly felt as I expect if there is a friend who is again wanting to join with me in this camp too. (WHO WANTS???)

However abt this very same issue, it should be more morally right for me to join the CAC camp comm since my friend who is the director of programmes and publicity (if I don't remember wrongly) is now looking for people to join his camp areas and after all, he did ask mafia engin 1st.

I'm okay with both camp comms actually but I am rather attached to sports and I also cannot forget that I have a EVE camp games comm to deal with already.

I frankly need more time :D

*Watched the PONYO movie today - it was super CHEESY!!*

NUS 1st Day.

2009-01-12T17:14:00.001-08:00

I really really "love" my MLE1101 and MNO2311 lecturers because they are so-out-of-the-world types.
Take note: I mean in a sarcastic way.

And yeah, my remaining 2 chosen modules - MNO2311 and EG1413 - I have friends for company :)!

Run CAN!

2009-01-11T20:43:00.000-08:00

The Run CAN! was a hilarious affair for me.

(1) Was "forced" to wear my ugly RunNUS singlet while the others could wear their nicer Tees but luckily, Merv didn't take any unglam pictures with his camera though we did go abit crazy with the YOG photographers during the run :D.
(2)Met my students (SAC Tennis Club) who recognised me and wanted to support me during the run but fortunately they had a tennis competition later so they couldn't see the terrible runner I was.
(2) Banged into a lamppost *bamm!*. Think I broke a few bones in my rib cage lah since there is a slight swelling at my chest. Thanks goodness for Mervyn who instinctively put his hand infront of my face simultaneously to prevent being banged too or else I confirm not coming to NUS today since I'll develop a pig face then 0.o. *KUDOS to MERYVN :)* The joke didn't stop there as Stanley evilly tried to get an ambulance for me midway.
(3) Met some old HI friends which was a surprise and oh yea, I think it was thanks to them that I got bammed in the 1st place. Think it is quite silly of me -.-
(4) Running was alot alot more pleasant with Cheryl than with a certain bunch of guys who kept on bullying me since Bren was out of action for the run due to her cookie-crave-induced flu. *Thanks Cheryl :)! And Mabbie owes me a treat since she PS-ed me and Cheryl for SF :D*

The best thing is that I love my number bib: 0510 :D. Tada!

Out with the murmbles..

Ouch ouch ouch.

Run RUN!

2009-01-04T19:53:00.001-08:00

My spare tyre is appearing again. AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
Must be the festive moods which just make me pig too much.
And this Sat, there is an NUS run which I must do :)
Need to run tmr or this weds to pick up speed or else I will confirmed be the lastest of the last person probably in a 3000+ strong runners.
I wonder whether my weekly swimming counts into running-stamina? Booo hoo, I can't swim this week.
The biggest guilt is that after the run, I'm KFC-ing with friends-cum-runners too which brings me back to a bigger spare tyre.
I wish it is a beer belly instead of a fats belly - drinking is better than stuffing with fats :D!
OOPS, do I hear a craving coming soon..

2009 freak.

2009-01-04T19:12:00.000-08:00

It was a total bad start.
My tommie crashed and my handphone got stolen by a PR student.
Police report made (with new leads) and the stupid f* quarrels.
This could be AND was the worst start of my supposed brand new year.

But I had already resolved to make things better and I have started on them.
Did my 1st 2009 proposal which was praised by my director :) and planned my Sem 2 tt which confirms another funny semester with crazy bren again :D.
Got the "cutest" temporary wacky phone with an *ermm..* antenna which just made me feel like a five-year-old geek again - YES, I WAS A GEEK LAST TIME -.-
And the good news is that while I'm typing this ext-belated post, toshiba just sent me an email that tommie is kicking well and alive in his best handsome olive colours - think of Herculeus :P!
I'll collect it tmr probably after badminton with engin mafia before meeting them again for squash.
My painting the house turns out to be a fun affair with the occasional "Ponyo ponyo ponyo" chorus which my mum and sis know that will drive my brains nuts for the fun of it.
And now I'm happily waiting for my module bidding time and also reading the 1st Harry Potter book.
Things are improving finally and I can feel that the thieving issue will be settled pretty soon.
I'm starting to be less stressed now though I can confirm that I'm totally reluctant to go back to NUS. Boo hoo :(

PS: Today is 5th Jan. I should have saved $10 by now but I can't find a cute cat piggybank to save my $1 coins :(

PPS: Riddle - Why the penguin has a white patch in front while the rest of the body is all black? Quite amusing, mum, sis and I was playing the riddles game this morning over Macs brunch :D

Hello 2009!

2008-12-31T08:00:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!
Muacks, I love you :D
Counting down in the aeroplane is much nicer actually..

More resolutions!

2008-12-31T06:47:00.001-08:00

I'll not play with danger anymore.
It is time to let go and be steadfast.
Everything, I shall leave to fate.
And Hope to get the better end of everything :)

Happy New Year!

2008-12-31T06:34:00.001-08:00

2009 is coming in a big bang.
The newspapers reported today that 2008 has an extra second to be counted in so as to balance the universe and the solar planets and whatever.
To simplify it, we countdown by 3, 2, 1, 1, 0.. 2009!
2009 looks to be promising as my university life is already quite stable and happy with many good buddies and friends aplenty :).
But in terms of myself, I am quite reluctant to embrace 2009 because it means:
1) I have to accept myself being the big 2 from now on according to age which just feels SO OLD :(
2) I have to chiong like a slave to my studies forever for the next 4 years since now I know what kind of sh*t NUS exams are like.

My resolutions for 2009 - which I really mean to keep despite my my previous futile attempts
1) Save $500 by the end of 2009 so that I can spend them all on my family and myself for Xmas '09, CNY '10 and birthday gifts 09/10 without feeling guilty. That means that I will have to look for a cute piggy bank soon to store all my daily $1 coins :)
2) Work throughout the whole Sem 2 and never last minute mugging for the final exams. In short, be like Mabbie who got her well deserved high CAP for Sem 1.
3) Be less sarcastic to people :)
4) Many more of course but somehow dunno how to put in words.

And, most important, today: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my beloved PAPA!

A New Haircut.

2008-12-27T07:50:00.000-08:00

Woah I've been whining over my fringe which I had cut myself for these few days.
So enough was enough and I went for layering yesterday to make my hair thinner and make my fringe less stupid-looking.
Now, after the haircut, I kind of miss my long hair.
I layered too much and now it is freaking thin and I cannot tie up my hair without clips anymore.
Oh no, now I'm whining even more over my new haircut.

Merry Xmas with my Family!

2008-12-25T08:17:00.000-08:00

Pretty memorable since it is my 1st time celebrating Xmas in Spore!

Gave my sister her favourite fashion brand shirt and my mum money for CNY shopping next year! I am so big, I should start providing for my family though now I declare that I am really officially broke and I still owe Uncle RP 10 bucks for the shopping cooking list -.-

Later dinner-ed at Fish Co but apparently, the food just for today only was not really up to standard much to my mum's displeasure.

OH YEAH, MY SISTER GAVE ME A BABY BLUE PAIR OF HAVANIANAS (sorry for the capital letters - I'm really overwhelmed)!

To be honest, I was really shocked because both my sis and me had sorta of an agreement that NUM items are way too overpriced so the NUM gift was really unexpected from her.

And as we all know that NUM is totally a himbo territory, I was asking my sister whether the moments spent in the NUM store was one of her finest moments in her life and something funny really happened to her which is amusing.

It is just so nice to be lying on our beds and chatting over the board.

I love my chatterbox - SIS - and I also don't mind having more of such overnight parties in the future - sleeping at 7am is dammit cool in my dictionary :)

Thanks, Dada, Merv, RP and Stan a trillion for being such a great sport during the party and for ALSO making things really "entertaining" for me as the game master..

We pretty much ambushed Dada's house with our lappies :D

Hello Dearies!

2008-12-24T10:29:00.000-08:00

MERRY XMAS!
Right now, I'm at my bestie's house updating my blog.
Today was pretty hilarious :)
Now my friends are all playing monopoly which I really don't know, don't like, don't plan to learn.
We cooked too much food - YES, I COOKED (with the help of bestie's mummy and daddy)!!
I'm so going to be fat.
I've received a few Xmas presents that remind me alot of my childhood days and I'm so awfully glad.
Now it is only 2.30am but I honestly don't feel tired at all!
Mum allowed me to drink a little at the party so I being her good eldest daughter drank abit of volka and right now, I'm drinking the aboslutely fantastic Tiger beer which is very very very minimal alcoholic :D.
About that being a good daughter, I promised my sister and I'm going to spring my mother with a surprise log cake in the later afternoon since today is Xmas!
Again, Merry Xmas!! (And I insist that I'm not high, just feeling a bit more more jolly!)

Thanks, Brendie! (slightly emo post about results)

2008-12-23T01:23:00.000-08:00

Swimming with Brendie was really good today.
A super marvellous way to get over depression.
Alright, today was the day when I got back my 1st Uni exam results.
I wouldn't call it doomsday but it is very true that I've been losing sleep over it for the past few days.
After knowing the results, I can finally have a good sleep tonight which I really really really need since the overnight party is tomorrow and there is the dare-promise not to sleep at all during the party.
The results is not very terrible but it came to me as a rude awakening.
It was way beyond my expectations and that made me quite depressed at first.
But after a good and hilarious talk with Brendie, my sadness was all gone.
It is of no use to mope around and being depressed over it for a long time.
The damage has been done and it is because of the damage that really motivates me to work VERY VERY VERY hard for Sem 2.
I was never a loser and I'll not be one in the future.
And thanks goodness, I have Brendie with me and we came up with this fantastic plan to increase our CAP.
For me, I will not state my current CAP score here unless you ask me but I can say that I'm aiming for a CAP of at least 3.8 next sem (this alone can tell you how badly I have done for Sem 1 then -.-)
Btw, I think I want to get married in LJS - LJS, as I remember fondly, has always been the place of my growing years and same for Brendie too! LJS holds a lot of meaning for us :) and that's where we had our lunch today to rough over any depression! I even guiltily asked for double fries!!

From the facebook updates, I know that I'm not the only one in a depressed state.
My friends, if you happen to come here, I hope that you all don't give up.
Let's snap out of this holiday mood together and work hard together hand-in-hand because we are all never alone!
I'm not giving up on myself and I also don't want to give up on my friends.
I treasure every friend that I have made in NUS and I hope that all of us will make it good and proud when we complete NUS :)
So don't give up! Need a listening ear - ask Brendie!
Hahaahhaa I am a bad listener but I'm always ready to provide a listening ear too.
THIS IS JUST SO RIGHT- girls make BETTER LISTENERS :D

AND I LOVE MY SIS!
When I came home after swimming with Brendie, I saw my absolutely impossibly cute tiny Xmas hat on my Tommie.
When I questioned her, she gave me an innocent look and said that it was from Santa Claus!
Hahahaha I feel alot better and more appreciated now.
This is the season to be jolly :)! Lalala lalallalalala..

Hmmm..

2008-12-22T07:31:00.000-08:00

I should think over Mabel's offer seriously and consider taking up the camp instructor part-time job for the 3-month holidays after Year 1.
Pay is good and there is also the element of fun and not forgetting the plentiful opportunities to get tanned!
But in those 3 months, I will be really away from Singapore in Malaysia and Indonesia most of the time (about 5-6 trips per month where each trip will take around 5 days).
That will mean not taking part in Engin and EVE camps and also not being there for my sister who will be most likely to be fumbling with the tt planning (I was super sotong in Semester 1..)
And I will also lose out on the opportunity to bully my freshies and dunk my fellow councillors right? ^^
Hahahaha for now undecided but the job seems to be pretty popular according to Mabel and I've to get back to her soon.
Still, trips with Mabel are always fun and I so miss basketball games with her :)

*I HATE MY NEW FRINGE :(*

Cheerios,

Joann signing off with a kiss :)

Thumbs Up.

2008-12-21T23:25:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to Tuna!

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy, Tuna?

Hahahaha it is my best friend of 17 years' birthday today :D

Now we are all officially 18 (yes, not 19 - we insist..) in the 4 of us - Me, NY, Corny, Tuna.

Time waits for no one but to me, time is the best test of friendship.

Alright, since we are ALL 18, let's watch a M18 movie on our upcoming outing though I'll advise to stick to the humour type because I am so afraid that our baby Corny will cry at the sight of gory blood in horror shows.

A stupid gasp and a good laugh goes a long way :D

Cheerios,

JOANN signing off.

Totally no Hope.

2008-12-21T02:14:00.001-08:00

I've failed the task of being a good housewife again.
Today Mum forced me to pluck the vegetables for dinner later.
As usual, I kept being paranoid over everything on the vegetables.
Yes, plucking vegetables is one of my nightmares because I'm so afraid that somehow, a worm or snail will land in my hands and I will just SCREAM and *VERY CONFIRMED* faint on that spot.
TOTALLY CONFIRMED: I can't cook for nuts.
Speaking of cooking, any friend who can whip up a mean Xmas dish for dinner?
If not, sorry invited guys, it is back to plain good roast turkey and salads o'ale and probably pizza delivery too :)
At least, I'm being nice by not depriving you of any edible food :D *cue the halo - so cute phrase from dada!*

Duh, dude.

2008-12-20T12:19:00.000-08:00

It is a sadistic flaming world we live in now, if you ask me.
Capital letters are the go, gO, GO.
The D-Diaries: We are all screwed by the stupid internet and its invisible webs.
But one for each own though.
Puh Puh Puh.
The D-Diaries is a weekly newspaper article but very well-hidden in the Straits Times since it is meant to shoot jibes at the current messy world affairs.
HEY HEY, I DO read newspapers - I'm not some BIMBO, okay! See, the CAPITAL LETTERS again - I'm so screwed but definitely not emo :)

Just Girls Plainly.

2008-12-20T10:13:00.001-08:00

Errrrrr, my sis and dada seem to be rather thick-skinned, posing their desired brand of bag for Xmas exchange in my blog.
Sis wants a Chanel/Guess-ie while dada wants a Burberry-ie.
I'm not very thick-skinned, a LV-ie (only 2 simplest initials!) is good enough for me but in case people try to interpret it anyhow and give me a funny/weird LV-item, LV: Louis Vuittion ^^
Boo phwee boo phwee.
We are just girls liking those brands.
So guys, care to sponsor us?
I know you guys are very KIND & GENEROUS :D

And Xmas lights are alot better already :)

And there's this simply cute tiny Xmas hat that is making its rounds in Orchard Road and earning its rightful ahhs-&-oohs over it.

OMG, I ALSO WANT (okay, I'm thick skinned too - a big hint!)

Becoming Serious.

2008-12-19T08:25:00.000-08:00

I just have to face it.
My Holidays are all down to work, worK, woRK, wORK, WORK!
As your most lovable and kindest welfare assistant director of ESESC on earth ever, I'm now burying myself with the council stuff.
Big plans to do for the incoming XMAS (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and 2009 :D
And on top of it, there is the new timetable planning all over again which can be quite fun only with the correct company.
So dada, I think I'll bring my laptop to your overnight party so that we can "chiong" and play together through the night.
Guys too, it will be a SLEEPLESS night - at least, make the attempt :)
And one totally horrible piece of news: my sis is now sick.
Boo hoo :(
Miss her more-than-funnily-crazy antics..

*And the cheek of my M friend to ask for a LV bag from me as a XMAS present >.<. I ALSO WANT, OKAY! THANKS, M :D!!

Hee Haa Haa.

2008-12-18T01:41:00.001-08:00

SO WICKED

HEE HAA HAA

HEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAA

NOPE, I REFUSE TO TELL YOU :P

All the BEST :)

2008-12-17T07:57:00.001-08:00

And I just remember that the N Levels results will be out in exactly 14 hours time from now.
Caught it in the newspapers while reading yesterday.
When I shopped in Bugis yesterday, I saw some of my SAC students and exchanged a few words with them.
Could tell that they are totally strung about the N Level results which I also felt while awaiting my goddamn ALevels results release (think of the stupid flying rumours of it being out in early Feb that made us hang in limbo for a freaking long month before getting it in March -.-)
So all the best for N Levels, Sec 4/2, 4/3 and also 4/4 even though I don't teach this class.
All this in the spirit of sharing Xmas joy :D
(at least this date is much better than my results release date which is so tiny-close to Xmas ): )

Stupid Fiasco.

2008-12-17T07:49:00.000-08:00

*bleep bleep bleep bleeeeeep BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
This whole thing is equivalent to an extremely very totally stupid version of the musical, Avenue Q, of course without the initimate terms.
A total flop. A total muddlehead. I think I said the F* word too many times ytd.
Luckily it was just a false alarm but still THE BIG DRAMA over IT???!!
OH SH*T.
paiseh to say it here -.-. bleah~

Modules Puzzle.

2008-12-14T09:32:00.000-08:00

Should I take BSP1004 Law or MNO2000+ next sem?
Any NUS friend want to join me in these 2 modules next sem?
