Assie's Last Words

2011-02-22T23:09:00.001+08:00

??!!??!!

OEIIIIIII. Anyway pig what's your new blog URL? It's not there leh.

Goodbye to Assie

2011-02-22T22:53:00.003+08:00

Since Esther the dummy is always ignoring this blog and has not-so-secretly set up her own personal blog a very long time ago(rolls eyes x10) I have decided that it is time for me to wash away all the bad luck that has befallen on me ever since I met her.

We are going to go seperate ways. This is my new website: http://sforslow.tumblr.com/

I think we are not going to be friends very soon and this is our first step towards getting rid of each other. I secretly feel that Michelle is right after all. 3 friends cannot take photos with each other or the middle one will fall out with the other two. Serves Esther right for standing in the middle. Obviously she is trying to steal the limelight but HA-HA.

Hopefully my fans will come back after I am rid of Assie. Currently my fan count stands at around 20. More about my fans at my new website.

Bye to Kueifu's tummy size inspired blog!

I am Popular

2011-02-06T10:49:00.004+08:00

Ok recently I found out that

I AM REALLY POPULAR WITH GUYS.

I know this is no secret and everyone of you will be nodding your heads away in acknowledgment. BUT STILL, I have to make this fact official.

4 years old love me, seriously I am as hot as pancakes with these boy boys.

Codie pointed at me and said "我喜欢你"
Yao Zong and Dini waves to me excitedly everytime he sees me.

etc etc.

Even girls adore me.

The twins and Intan are forever trying to have the first class seat on my lap.

WOW I AM SO POPULAR.

FDD

2011-01-18T18:09:00.003+08:00

Updates on the BMC:

Bad Michelle is determined to call herself the 'Flying Dragon', short form FD.

Our President Esther finally made herself useful by translating FD into Fei Du.

As the founder, I have added on to turn her in to FDD--Fei Du Du.

This is our new secret nickname for her. I have edited her name to FDD in my phone already.

Have you? :)

P.S. 3 more posts! What else shall I blog about?

Adventure in Shenton Way

2011-01-18T17:34:00.005+08:00

Last month, I ventured out into the high class Shenton Way district with Xin Yun and Han Yin to experience office life for a month.

Our supervisors were very friendly people from Phillipines and being very sociable people, we even started learning Filipino on Google Translate. We did this because we wanted them to feel at home. How nice of us! My most impressive sentence is to say "Siya ay matakaw" while pointing at Xin Yun. It means 'She is greedy'. How smart of me to construct sentences AND to apply them to real life situations correctly!

On the first day of work, there was a serious break down of the system so we could not do anything. We were so bored we even calculated that we were earning 10c for every minute that we were sitting around.

On the second day, we were rather excited because we could finally start on work! However...

R(one of the supervisors): Hey sorry the system is down again. You guys may need to wait for an hour more or so. Don't worry about it, go have another coffee break~

Han Yin: *joking* Erm excuse me why did you all hire us.

R: Oh I hired you all to have coffee breaks and to enjoy yourself...

Han Yin: THIS IS MY DREAM JOB!

LOL.

During the first week of work, we kept reminding each other to remember to be professional OLs and to stop acting childish.

There was once when someone bought over cakes from Holland for the whole office and R and J (the other supervisor) invited us over to eat the cakes. So nice of them to invite the temps!

Speaking of temps, there are 2 elderly people who have been working there for 2 years already. They do the same things as us but their pay is a dollar more than us (per hour). They are very punctual. Meaning they reach the office and leave on the dot.

Somehow, (although I'm quite sure they are not) we started calling them the Old Temps. And we started seeing ourselves as the YT (Young Temps). Tsk tsk this is so evil of Han Yin. It's not a crime to be old you know!

Oh yeah a few days before Prom, I was staring into space (it wasn't 8.30 yet) and from the corner of my eyes, I saw an OL walking into the office in a nonchalant manner. First thought that flashed across my mind: "Did the OL just wake up or did she forget to comb her hair?!"

Suddenly,

Han Yin: Omg Si Hui!

And I turn around. Voila! It is Si Hui with her poodle like curly hair!

As a kind person, I shall not comment negatively on her hair, and since there is nothing positive to comment about, I shall not comment on it.

Throughout the whole day, the rest of us spent our free time snickering/giggling/laughing out loud. No, of course we were NOT laughing at Si Hui's hair! We were just feeling very happy you know~

Anw after 2 weeks our 2 nice supervisors left to return to Phillipines for a holiday.

From then on, it was a tough journey. Because there were another 2 rounds of free cakes but this time round, there was nobody to invite us to eat them SOBS.

Han Yin and Sherlyn decided that it was time that we became independent so the 2 of them went to the pantry with their thick skins and snuck back 2 slices of cake. Oh wellllll I shall not comment since Han Yin fed me a mouth of the cake.

This whole 'no cake to eat' issue because so big that it took up 1/2 of the message we wrote for R and J in the Christmas cards for them.

Poor students out in the lonely office world. The adults will never understand how important cake is to us.

We also manage to observe lots of the 'Office Politics' going on. It is so refreshing to be able to see for ourselves how badly behaved adults are. At one point, Xin Yun and Han Yin were even having their own discussion on the political situation. As a very good girl, I reminded them that they were just temps! It is at these moments of life that I realise that I am so much more mature than my friends. I am such a wonderful and sensitive girl.

On the last 2nd day of work, we received news that we had to work overtime. It was my first time having official OT--Overtime, not Old Temps-- (Date: 30th December 2010) and it was quite exciting, because I had to rush down to the DYB chalet in time for my free dinner. To speed things up, Han Yin and I decided to make use of 2 computers each, opening 3 windows at a time on each computer. We had to run about the office doing so and Xin Yun had to manage our computers occasionally when we were not at our main computer, so she was actually sort of controlling 3 computers. (SORT OF~ She should totally stop showing off about it!)

We finished our work super quickly and managed to leave at 8pm. It took us around 3 1/2 hours only--we took at least an entire day last time! The office dwindled from the original 100 plus people to the final 8 of us during OT. We are so efficient! I think the workload would have taken the Old Temps at least 2 days.

Our adventure ended on 31st December! Okay I am so lazy to blog anymore but I KNOW IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY I HAVE TO WASH DOWN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF ESTHER'S POSTS!

The Importance of ME

2011-01-18T17:24:00.002+08:00

I think that I play an extremely vital role in my family in terms of family bonding.

Without me, my Mum will be so bored at home. There is no one to nag at to wash their underwear, to tidy up their table (which is obviously arranged in that creative order for fengshui purposes) and the list goes on. And my Dad will not have anyone to share his burden as he will be exposed to a longer time period of nagging.

Without me, my brother will not be experiencing such an interesting life at home. Examples:

2 days ago, he was sleeping in a very serene manner. He was even smiling in his sleep. I was so inspired by the peaceful scene in front of me that I started singing 'Silent Night' in my calm and beautiful voice. However, he being a very insensitive person, started screaming and threw my pillow and blanket on the floor. How horrible of him!

Another example:

Yesterday, I spent the entire night convincing him that he was really adopted and I was so nice I even comforted him and told him not to be too sad. To allow him to have a better understanding of his identity, I even took great pains to explain how I specially picked him out to be my brother, although I regret this decision now. I spent so much saliva just to get him to understand how lucky his life is but what did I get back in return? He started lying to me about how I was really the one who was adopted. Sigh. Poor boy.

Seriously, what will this family be without me? Sigh.

IEC and now, the BMC

2011-01-18T17:04:00.003+08:00

Okay this is the 3rd official year of the IEC (Ignore Esther Club) and there is nothing much to say or new members to persuade cause as far as I know, our honorary club is quite famous and even non-members are engaging in similar activities by themselves.

As the founder (no Priscilla, not all founders are dead), I am very pleased with what we have achieved in these few years. Hence, I have decided to open up a new club BMC. I am very much confident that this club will flourish and be as well-known as the IEC in no time.

BMC, otherwise known as the Bad Michelle Club was inspired by Michelle's overly-recited line "So bad!~". It has been observed by Miss Koh Xin Yun that she will always follow up with this particular line after laughing at some cruel dictations and bad-mouthing brought up by others.

Currently, as the founder I have put in alot of effort in choosing the committee members for the club of the decade, the BMC.

President: Esther Ng Wan Ting

I am aware that the elected president is not a very wise decision because no one might listen to her due to the effectiveness of the IEC spirit. But fear not, I have appointed a very fierce person to be our Vice-President. It was rumoured that she was a 老大 in Primary School.

Vice-President: Khoo Gek Teng

Next up, for Treasurer, I have appointed someone who looks very wise. And usually, wise people have very little hair. Having said so, the position of the Treasurer definitely goes to...

Treasurer: Felicia Koo Jie Lin

Congratulations!

Our secretary is none other than...

Secretary: Koh Xin Yun

She was the very crucial person who discovered the horrible behaviour of Michelle Ou Yong Wai Mun. Having made such contributions, I had to appoint her a role even with the knowledge of how useless she is. Hence, she was made the Secretary.

Finally, the last member of our club (to date):

Member: Priscilla Tan Shu Lv

This was the hardest decision ever. For the past 3 days and 3 nights, I have been thinking whether I should appoint her as a member or our Cleanliness Monitor. However, she was appointed as a member eventually because I realised that we didn't have any Headquarters to clean.

So come one, come all! Join the BMC for a good cause! Prevent such disgusting behaviour from continuing!

Membership is $50 per person. This is totally not expensive--think about the good you can bring to everyone around you!

That reminds me, I have to start collecting the $50 from my committee members...

惊天动地之 Damage control MIA

2011-01-03T01:08:00.009+08:00

I am kind of surprised that Mayping actually allowed my rubbish "Falling slowly.." post (the entry before this) dictate this space for so long! Without any retaliation measures executed! :O

Usually she will be apologising to the readers (that's you guys by the way) for allowing me to destroy the blog. Really. I can imagine her saying "I know it's totally my fault that Esther is ruining this blog".

HI MP HAPPY 2011!!! Felt like I haven't seen you in a thousand years. But no worries, 9 Jan is approaching!!! :DDDD Great opportunity and content for the next update. Or maybe next next update, if MP does the "damage control" post. Or the "Ignore Esther Club Annual Recruitment 2011" post. Which brings up this very bewilding issue - where's the rabbit sweets that she (MP) was supposed to buy??? In 2009!!! It's already 2011!!!! To all IEC members, please pay your membership fees so that I can (finally) have my rabbit sweets!!!!

Falling slowly..

2010-11-17T20:42:00.003+08:00

by Kris Allen. Ehh.

It's 8.42pm. Mayping and Xinyun are right next to me now, in my house. Busying copying CSC notes. So hardworking!! :)))

*answers call from Pris* (CSC-related)

It's probably the last time we are going to study for CSC! Assuming that we are not going to study for an li fen xi... Heh.

I hope both of them make it to the examination hall tmr! After eating the (hopefully cooked) mee sua dinner I cooked for them -- I didn't eat the dinner I cooked. I ate the the dinner my sis cooked. HEH HEH

What a lame entry. 9 more days!!!!! WHOOHOO~~~~~~

我妈很有钱

2010-10-24T22:41:00.000+08:00

弟: 妈咪是世界上最有钱的人。

我:?

弟:你知道为什么吗?她做了全世界最有钱的人都不会做的事。

她开aircon睡觉而且也开着窗。

LOL.

No wonder I'm so attractive

2010-10-21T22:15:00.002+08:00

Read on.

Yawning may signal sexual attraction

A yawn may signal that a person wants to have sex, among other things.

Yesterday, at the International Conference on Yawning, scientists presented the latest theory on yawning. The new revelation is based on reports from sexologists that many of their patients yawn during sex and foreplay.

Yawning -- which the average adult does five to 10 times a day -- can also signal that one is tired (which you no doubt already knew) or under stress. As of now, scientists have no ability to distinguish a "let's get it on" yawn from an "I want to catch some ZZZs" yawn.

Nevertheless, we've used this new information to reevaluate every date we've ever been on. It turns out we may have been much more interesting than we initially thought.

Bet you yawned when reading this, too...

Children's Day

Happy Children's Day + Happy Birthday to Karmen & ............................................ Chinaaaaaa!!

Actually I forgot too, until I chanced upon a “ 祝祖国繁荣昌盛，生日快乐！” online.. *scrolls down to previous post*

Heh.

共惨党

2010-09-17T18:41:00.002+08:00

Omg just saw this on someone's profile at Youtube.

没有共惨党就没有腥中国，没有共惨党就没有腥中国。
共惨党腥劳A民族，共惨党一心搞中国。
它阻挡了人民解放的道路，它误导了中国走向光贫。
它坚持内战四年多，破坏了人民的生活。
建立共惨根据地，实现独裁好处多。
没有共惨党就没有腥中国，没有共惨党就没有腥中

You know what,

I think that 流行文化在很大的程度上改变了当代中国人的传统价值观.

Singapore- A Fengshui City

2010-09-16T08:58:00.000+08:00

THIS IS SUPER FUNNY.
It's a Geography video on Feng Shui that we made for a project in Sec 2.

In case you think that Xin Yun's acting is very natural, it's actually real. We were not very happy that she was falling asleep during the trip while we were trying to catch everything, so we formed a story revolving about her, how she is a Feng Shui master who lost her memory.

I was laughing at 1:48 where "A high class person is reading a Feng Shui magazine. Clearly, this is quite a trend here." The high class person is actually Steffi and the trend is set by us. (Thanks thanks) We brought the magazine there. I think Steffi actually owned it.

The Feng Shui leaflets at 2:28 are so dumb. I have no idea where Michelle dug them out from.

And the parts with Miss Ng is supposed to be some incentive for her to give us high marks hehe so smart of us.

SO FUNNEH.

I am as smart as Esther is slow

2010-08-15T22:11:00.003+08:00

Reading Esther's post, I got reminded of the moment when I suddenly realised that Esther was always, has been, is still a slow and 'no-strength' person.

I realised it when I watched her wash her socks for the first time (during the Taiwan BSP trip). Damn slow and wasn't using an ounce of strength. Somemore she was using my brush and I was waiting behind her and you know, I am a very impatient person (But I am alot more patient nowadays. Trained by sitting next to Jocelyn) BUT AYA, anyway I just wanted to comment on how slow Esther is cause I am really irritated by lunwen now so I have to insult someone.

Oh the other hand, I AM A GENIUS. FORTUNE TELLER. SMART BEYOND WORDS.

I actually guessed correctly who the final torch bearer of the YOG was going to be. I am so much smarter than an octopus. I really amaze myself, getting smarter by the days. Hopefully I'll be even smarter by the time A levels arrives.

I was reading the newspaper in the morning (I think it was a special edition on YOG athletes by mypaper) and I remembered him among many others cause they mentioned that he's one of our top medal hopes for the games. So I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE THE TORCHBEARER *pats myself on the back* *gives myself a round of applause*

So smart! :)

I hope Darren Choy wins us a gold medal! :)

Regarding the other parts of the ceremony, I thought the fireworks were cool and I really liked the monster scene and the phoenix boat part, up till when the flame was lit. I was kind of bored when the 205 representatives were coming out one by one, so I logged into ebuddy on my phone and spammed the name of (almost--some I coudn't catch) every country. My brother was on the receiving end and he was fairly annoyed but it's alright, annoying him is a job I do very well every single day. I am even ashamed to say that he was not fully annoyed yet, but I will work on it. Jiayou!

Oh but after the ceremony ended, I realised that I forgot to do my lunwen! It was a painful feeling cause its not the first time I forgot about it, only to realise that I have no other time to devote to it :O

But wth, (I realised that I'm getting more vulgar-.- Must be influence from Yue Wan.) can't stand it when some people start critisizing this and that. Ya la, we got eyes can see that not everything is perfect but just keep those comments to yourself and to your family and friends if you like, what's the point of typing it out for the whole world to see. Seriously YOU ARE SO STUPID. I wanted to #$%$#$ the person's comment on FB but decided to just scream vulgarities in my head cause I'm a DARYL (Demure and Refined Young Lady)

Sigh.

Back to being a lunwen-doing DARYL.

2010-08-14T19:44:00.010+08:00

I was re-reading the guzheng blog's archives and many fond memories came flooding back into my mind. And I finally understand what pain my blog posts brought to people.. (a taste of one's own medicine)

Anyway, I realised that my bad encounters with Chinese hotels didn't begin with BSP trips. It started way back then in 2006 - the first Chinese Hotel that I stayed in, Yang Qiao Hotel. (This one SURE DID trigger an avalanche of memories.)

And Michelle and I were staying right opposite Ming Quan and his brother. HAHAHA.

This reminds me that Mayping and I stayed next to Mr Ang during the Taiwan trip and we used the entire shared balcony (Mr Ang said we could use his part of the balcony) to dry our clothes. And my obsession with washing clothes (which was oblivious to me then). Though I still do not see it as an obsession; it's more of a preoccupation and it only applies when im overseas. And the one and only time I helped Priscilla wash her clothes - she went around telling the others who went on the trip (telling xinyun and mayping is equivalent to telling everyone haha) so I presumed it either confirmed the rumour about the abovementioned obsession, or propagated a caring and willing-to-serve image of me (ties in with our school motto though).

...

I suddenly miss my guzheng seniors (bridge!!!). I shall go kachiao them... after the As!! (ya now everything is labelled with "after A levels")

Bye.

2010-08-10T16:37:00.000+08:00

The YOG bus just went passed my house some time ago and I actually felt this rare sense of patriotism. There were a bunch of primary school kids downstairs, each of them holding a flag, waving frantically and screaming, quite cute LOL. Sad thing is that not alot of people. Only got some other aunties who were probably slacking from housework and passer-bys. One of them wore a white shirt and jeans I have no idea why I remembered that.

Anyway I just realised that I can blog from my phone but its damn slow cause I'm bad at typing with phones. And I felt that I totally wasted my 4 days I AM SO SCREWED FOR A LEVELS NO SENSE OF URGENCY :(

Inception

2010-08-07T16:22:00.008+08:00

INCEPTION IS SO COOL.

But sitting with Yue Wan in the cinema is so not cool. Cause she doesn't understand some parts of the plot but she will be super agitated and she will keep repeating her favourite lines loudly in the cinema:

"Oh my god I am so damn pissed. What is that girl doing la."
"Seriously I can't stand her. What's wrong with her. I'm so pissed."

LOL. She was talking really loudly by the way. Hahaha.

Jocelyn said that halfway at some funny part,

Yue Wan: "Who's that person who is laughing so loud?!"

Hahahaha!

And Jocelyn looks kiddy when she's watching a movie. Cause she will stare at the screen intensely with her straw forever in her mouth unless she's laughing at Yue Wan.

ANYWAY INCEPTION IS REALLY COOL.

And I REALLY THINK THAT THE TOP STOPPED SPINNING.

We should watch it again after 'A's. Then we can slowly pause and rewind and analyse and conclude that the top stopped spinning. (Elicia is irritating and pessimistic. Ying Jie also. LOL.)

Anw I refuse to believe that the whole thing is a dream. Who on earth is the loser with no childhood to come out with such a hypothesis.

The only bad thing about the movie is the opportunity cost incurred. 论文 is killing me now :( Another bad thing is that Leonardo is too fat. But its ok, that part only bothered me for the first few minutes of the movie

Things we forget

2010-07-29T22:02:00.007+08:00

This Is The Future/ Owl City

Wake up on your own
And look around you 'cuz you're not alone
Release your high hopes and they'll survive
Cuz this is the future and you are alive

Dive in and swim away
From your loneliness and miserable days

And when you wake up on your own
Look around you 'cuz you're not alone
Let your hopes go and they'll survive
Cuz this is the future and you are alive
You're headed home

---

Too often, we get disillusioned. In the countless little moments when we work towards this future in question.

But we are not alone.
(Or are we?)

...

Aye, we need to release our hopes. They'll survive, they'll survive...

...

At least that's what Owl City says.

Reader's Digest- A Scam

READER'S DIGEST IS A SCAM.
They auto-renewed my subscription and demanded for payment-.-
PLEASE LA NOT GOING TO PAY $99 FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

Their sales management is really BAD, they are super insincere and trying to improve sales through dubious methods doesn't help.

Reading the customer service page makes me want to throw stones at them. Seriously, how did they pull through all these years?!?

Yue Wan's Unbalanced Body

2010-07-19T06:52:00.002+08:00

One month ago I had trouble remembering my dreams, but now I can remember quite clearly (down to the details) one dream per night. Let's just say that I have weird dreams that are quite fascinating. LOL.

Anw last Friday, when I was going home with Yue Wan, Lineatte, Jocelyn and Christine, we were waiting for the green man to flash...

(I altered it abit in front so that the parts that were talking bad about me will be removed (: )

Lineatte: Yue Wan is prone to falling forwards cause her in front very big.
Yuewan: No, I won't cause my butt also very big.

LOL.

Christine: No, you will still fall forwards cause in front heavier, got tummy.

LOL! Hahaha :)

I'm going to sing this at Teoheng after CTs, which is almost exactly 1 month later D:

Lagging behind in my studying timetable, so I have to chiong everyday for now. HALF A YEAR MORE. LOL.

I was studying with Lineatte Jocelyn and Christine last week and I was reading Semiconductor and Lasers.

Me: I don't understand!
Lineatte: Reading physics is like reading Korean to me.
Me: ?
Lineatte: I know how to read, but I don't understand.

LOL.

Random: Han Yin thinks that its obvious that our school is conservative because the kongzi statue in our school wears alot of layers of clothes. LOL!

艋胛 2

2010-06-03T18:13:00.007+08:00

I came home from tuition to see my dad and my sis watching "Monga" (艋胛).

The film was already approaching the end so I didn't bother joining them (WL 真卑鄙! 趁我不在家看戏).

So in a bid to decide whether I should spend time watching the film, I had this convo with my dad.

Me: Monga 好看吗？

Dad: 好看！里面有义气。男人喜欢看义气的戏。

Me: -.-

Ok the end.

p.s. MP I have the DVD le.

星光传奇赛

2010-06-01T22:43:00.002+08:00

Last Friday, I was watching 星光传奇赛 live on the website and I was quite amused by the chat box at the side cause the insults never ever stop.

Note: 星光传奇赛 is the competition whereby all participants were past participants in the previous batches of competition. Exciting! Haha.

Anw, first, there's this disgusting guy: (This is his best photo, really)

Ok I have no idea why the image is so big, but if you are freaked out, here's a photo of myself to calm you down:

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

On a side note, why should I let you see my photo for free?

(WOW I'm so cool! I got 'attitude' sia. Don't play play. )

Anw everybody just kept insulting him whenever his face appears, even for a split sec or for the preview before any commercial starts. Cause his singing ok ok so so plus I really hate it when he acts all macho and cool CAUSE HES NOT. It's gross.

Here are some comments:

When he came out to sing- "噁心人出場" "大家小心点"
When the judges were talking about him- "随便给个12分打发他吧"
When he got kicked out- "古孟杰byebye!"

Some other random comments by other people:
"大家好我是阿妹"

"妹你的头"

"我是小布什"

"我是vitas"

"哇那么多名人！"

LOL! It was funny when I was reading it while it was going on.

Then there was a debate on whether 小胖 was born in 1983.

"小胖老师真的是1983年生的?"

"1938吧"

"1983？！我昏"

THEN OMG SUPER IRRITATING.

Some guy just kept copying and pasting some paragraphs about his views on the recent suicide issue at Shen Zhen. It was really annoying--if you really feel so strongly about it, then DO SOMETHING. It's useless just typing rubbish on the internet, especially when your audience is like people watching entertainment shows.

That guy just kept insulting 郭台铭. And the rest of the people were simply annoyed with him.

Then some guy stepped out to make peace:

"大家好，我是马英九，大家不要吵了，以和为贵"

LOL!

Looking forward to the next episode this Friday! The disgusting guy out liao! Haha.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WONG MAYPING PLEASE BUY THE RABBIT SWEET SOON TY LOVE YOU (PUI PUI :D HEHE)

(sorry realised it's past 12 after i published -- happy BELATED bday :P)

Hmm

2010-05-12T22:55:00.003+08:00

I know nobody will see this, but thank you to Eugene for coming back and inspiring us to look further and deeper, thank you for caring about CO! I reflected back on what he has said and yup, I think I have been a selfish pig for complaining about CO at the beginning of this year. There is a bigger picture to look at and I've realised that although I've experienced a few slip-ups, but deep down, I really do care about CO and it's future. I've probably made my share of mistakes and I might not have been a very efficient Treasurer, but thanks to the rest of the comm members who have tolerated me in the process :)

Anw I want to remind myself to do constructive stuff during the holidays after A levels: Don't be so busy playing away, rmb to do some CIP and go back for CO!

Regarding the GP lesson last week, I think I figured out why lucky people are lucky. Lucky people are lucky because they put in the hard work to make things happen. I'm going to be a lucky person! :)

Ignore Esther Club Annual Recruitment 2010

2010-05-08T15:30:00.002+08:00

DO YOU DREAM ABOUT ESTHER LAUGHING 'WHAHASDHASJHHAHA' IN YOUR FACE DEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?

ARE YOU TRAUMATISED BY ESTHER'S 'STATEMENT' JOKES?

Then,

THIS CLUB IS FOR YOU!

Ignore Esther Club Annual Recruitment 2010

All you have to do is to sign up with me, the founder and the COE of this very happening club! Membership fees are low, with only $0.50 for membership renewal and $1 for new members!

It is nice of Esther to contribute a 2 line post after such a long time. However, that alone is not enough to allow me to forget about IEC, the the club that I had formed quite easily, since recruitment was always demand > supply.

(To review last year's recruitment: HERE)

So hurry, limited places available! Make the right choice now! :)

艋舺

2010-05-01T19:37:00.005+08:00

艋舺

I thought this was just another movie when I first heard about it, and I only started to get interested in it because of the spams of advertisements everywhere.

I went to watch with Xin Yun, Jia Jia and Felicia after speech day. And although I really wanted to watch it, I was a little regretful for wasting money just after I bought the tickets LOL. But after watching it, omg this movie is so boomz.

I wanted to pee one hour plus into the movie but the story got so enticing and engaging that I totally forgot about peeing for the rest of the movie, which is like at least 1 and 1/2 h :O

Even though I've watched shows of Mark Chao and Ethan Ruan, I never knew that they could act like that. Damn amazing. WATCH IT IF YOU HAVEN'T. I think I can just watch it again 10 times.

Side note: The plus factor is that Mark Chao is *screams* :D My image of Ethan Ruan has turned for the better after watching this, cause he was really annoying in 败犬女王. I think this has something to do with me liking the 学长 LOL.

Anw Jia Jia is the best. She had no idea that the gang was called 太子帮 after they mentioned it around 3 times in the show. LOL. But ok, I didn't know that the thing on the table was a human finger and not a chicken bone. LOL. AND OMG this Jia Jia kept screaming super loudly and THAT IS SO SCARY cause every time she screams, my heart will start to beat faster -.- There was once I thought it was Xin Yun screaming so I started hitting her LOL.

Esther please go buy the DVD we are going to watch it at your house after 'A' levels :D

We met up with Esther and Michelle for dinner. They were so slow that I can almost catwalk around Vivo three times. Went to Bakerzin and I was so full after that I didn't eat anything except for a hotdog bun today. Dinner time has flown past and I'm still quite full :O

We saw 梁文音 after that! And 周崇庆 too. We took a photo with him and I informed him that I'm in his fan club LOL. I'm 677 hahahaha!

Jia Jia wanted all of us to do the 'so embarassing' pose with him and congratulate him for securing a place in the top 10 male artistes in the Star Awards last week. I think Xin Yun wanted to faint.

We went to take photos after that! We went to the cinema to take photos with Mark Chao's poster LOL. It was 'so embarassing'. Hahaha!

:)

The Bittergourd Dinner

2010-04-26T20:27:00.001+08:00

This was what my Mum cooked for dinner tonight. Two dishes:

1) Bitter gourd stir fried with egg
2) Bitter gourd with pork and fermented bean sauce

Hmm. What a large variety of food.

Bland life

2010-04-24T18:59:00.002+08:00

I just realised that I've neglected this blog for some time. (So has Assie.)

Life has not been that interesting. And I forgot the interesting parts anyway. Maybe the best part of today was the tea break session during the CSC talk.

I guess life may eventually become so boring that all I can talk about is what I had for dinner :(

CSC hw is ruining my life. I thought that this weekend was the 4 day holiday weekend so I told zhang ls that I will hand in all my hw by next week. I AM DEAD :O

A recap on PW

2010-04-07T22:36:00.002+08:00

Rumours are that PW results are going to be out this Friday!

Talking about PW reminds me of the dream I had last night. I dreamt that all our group members obtained an A grade for the subject :O Christine and Lineatte confirmed that this is actually deja vu haha.

I also dreamt that I went to book a consultation slot online for GP and I thought it was real. I was talking to telling her halfway that I booked a time slot already until I realised that it was a dream. Anw I just booked the slots, an echo of the scene in my dream. This means that we will get A for PW :)

While I was reminiscing about PW, I went to read our first few drafts for our confirmed topic. All the names that we had for our mini activities sound really stupid. I bet they weren't my idea. Must be Christine cause she's so dumb she can only read comics. Or maybe Zhen Zhou cause he looks stupid hopping around on one foot.

Here are the names we had: (I summarised some but some looked so dumb that I decided to leave them as they are)0.

FAIL TO PLAN, PLAN TO FAIL
This is the title for a programme introducing the idea of marriage planning to couples ready to wed. Financial, child planning and some other major issues will be introduced. With effective planning, couples are less likely to have conflicts that may eventually lead to unnecessary misunderstandings that could increase the risk of divorce.

DISH OF TRUTH
Attending cooking lessons together will allow couples to learn an important skill as well as learn more about each others' habits. Cooking used to be the job of women in the past, but as gender roles become more and more even in our society, cooking has long become a job handled by both the wife and the husband in the family. By learning how to do so and by accepting each other's cooking methods, there will be less issues for conflict in the future. Also, by taking up a skill together, the couple have an additional area of interest between them, hence enriching the relationship between them. Therefore they have to know more about each other's habits in the field of cooking, as it affects them after marriage.

(Omg we must have been so despo to type that. Looking back, this activity is really fun but really useless. Hahahaha.)

WHEEL WE GO
Through sports, couples can get to know more about each other's strengths and weaknesses as sports is when sportsmanship plays out and the resilience of an individual is put to test. A route with several obstacles along the way can be set up and double biking would serve as a good sport where couples can do sports while spending time together. They can interact as they cycle together, having fun and enjoy the companionship of each other. They can also spur each other on during the long journey. Two pairs of couples can form a group and group can compete with each other along the way. By grouping different pairs of couples together, they can learn more about building on relationships not only through their own experiences but also through others.

(Ok fine I rmb that I thought of this title. LOL we included it in our WR somemore haha. )

RACE TO LOVE
Race to Love is an amazing race that would test couples' cooperation and build up the rapport between them. This adapted version of amazing race would involve couples travelling around Singapore to complete tasks allocated to them. The tasks would require the couples to cooperate and would test their understanding about each other. Tasks would include telematch-like activities that would test individual participants on their partner's preferences in everyday life. Conflicts which may naturally arise from pressure and time constrained would be a good chance to see how the couple will overcome them and carry on.

(What a corny name! Haha.)

FLY TO UNDERSTANDING (FLY TO U)
After attending these activities, the couples would embark on a five-day vacation. By staying today, couples would then better know the habits of their counterparts. This five day vacation would give the couples a taste of life with each other after marriage, allowing couples to consider if they are willing to commit a lifetime to the other half. If a few lessons and a five-day vacation is a nightmare, living together for life could be unimaginable for them.

(Hahahahaha! Omg I think this is really funny!!)

And for the overall project name...

Project Name: BLURB
Project 'BLURB', Be in Love, U R Better off, is a year-long campaign consisting of events that help to promote lifelong marriages.

Haha omg my group is so dumb I think we will surely get an A hahaha.

Looking back, our first few drafts were really lousy. I wonder why wulaoshi didn't scream at us. And I wonder why we actually thought of them. And omg reading through my EOM, I&R and our WR, I spotted some grammar mistakes and our website name where we accidentally used 'Love' instead of 'Live'. Major mistake that nobody--our entire group, wulaoshi, our entire class who viewed our OP presentation, the OP examiners-- ever found out that is just glaring out at us. It was only until like a little while after OP that I saw while scrolling through our WR. Hopefully the examiners don't see it too :O

Conclusion: We are still going to get As la.

SIAN.

DYB

2010-04-05T22:07:00.003+08:00

Cute photo of DYB :D
Daniel is an extra LOL.

Could have played betterrrrrrr but oh well LOL. Next year I will be back. And I'm going to steal refreshments from the VIP room :)

I was going to write my best GP essay ever but I'm so tired LOL.

Kaleidoscope 2010

2010-04-01T23:22:00.004+08:00

Kaleidoscope is probably one of the best internal events our school has ever organised. The worst is of course, sports day (Hahahahaha), but I heard that this year's sports day was alot more interesting.

And I felt so happy going to school! No need to rush tutorials YAYZXZX.

I went to eat some sushi buffet after that at Sakae with Dilys, Amy and Yeling today.

We ate too much and we were laughing at some really not funny jokes that were being screened on the television beside our table. And that made my stomach hurt :(

Jokes:

Q: What do you call a fish with no eye?
A: fsh

Q: What do you call an oyster that does not donate to charity?
A: Shellfish.

LOL the jokes are all really stupid but I had no idea why we kept laughing.

Dilys commented that she saw a place that sells really big chicken pies, and that the pies are 'as big as Amy's face'. Wow! What a humongous pie! Hahaha.

I had such a horrible time eating it was like the most terrible ordeal in my life. Dilys Ong is such a pig she ate and ate and ate and she just went for a xiaolongbao buffet last Saturday.

Wah sian I just figured out that I have nothing to blog about cause we were gossiping most of the time. And discussing about the funny things that teachers do. LOL.

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS GONGYAN TOMORROW! There's no feeling/sense of urgency! Part of me wants it to be over asap so I can stop dealing with the admin stuff but the other part of me will be :( cause my 6 year CO life will have officially ended! :O

My last dazu practice even consisted of wangmama conducting at the beginning T.T And it ended with ttk conducting with the Kaleidoscope hand fan LOL. Thankfully my last fenzu was not a waste of time, cause tls was present mahz.

Hope that we'll all play until everyone's mouths will drop open cause we're so good. LOL. Actually I think that this is the most prepared concert ever in my long years in CO. In terms of dazu la, I'm not sure of how the other section songs sound but please let me play nicely for huai nian tomorrow! :D

:) :) :)

Jack Neo is a disgrace

2010-03-14T08:46:00.000+08:00

I saw this on Facebook:

A guy won’t flirt when钱不够用. Act as Liang Po Po & he 突然发财. Then That One Not Enough. So started his own Love Matters (幸福万岁). But then his wife told him I Not Stupid Too. He吓到笑. "爱都爱都 love you, dear! Please give me One More Chance (3个好人)." But his wife replied “ Just Follow Law and divorce ba. 跑吧,孩子!" And soon, Singapore won't be seeing low graded movies like老师嫁老大anymore~. Hopefully you will now know how to 做人.

I am a Humble student

2010-03-10T23:46:00.006+08:00

I regret asking Esther to blog. She is pulling down the average quality of our blog. Sobs sobs.

I went to SMU to sit in for a lecture today. I had some free live self-absorbed concert on the bus trip there. (No, unfortunately, I wasn't the one singing.)

SMU is such a cool school. I felt so cold after like 10 minutes. Chan Mali Chan is a lagger who only felt cold when the talk was going to end.

After the talk ended, Mali Chan and I went to the library to borrow some books. I borrowed books from the children's section. Yes yes, you can laugh at me, but you know what?

Mali Chan borrowed comics. That's for babies.

And I'm much more matured than that. I'm taking my 'A' levels this year. So to improve my English standard, I borrowed some books of a higher caliber. I know, I'm so proud of myself. No wonder all my teachers see me as a model student.

After the educational trip to the library, Mali Chan and I made our way to Popular so I can buy some stationery and she can lend me her Popular Card. I was not making use of her just so that I can get the discount which is only exclusive to members. I was only trying to make the card live up to it's name of being 'Popular'. A company's name is at stake and I must try my very best to uphold it. It is a Singapore brand and being a true Singaporean, I do not want the name of this company to be tarnished.

After purchasing the necessary stationery needed to further my education, we walked to Bugis Junction and decided to invest in some 70c ice cream. This was very much due to inspiration from the lecture that "investment will increase the future productive capacity of the economy". We want the Singapore economy to prosper and we will play our small part by investing in McDonalds and consuming our ice creams at the same time. (Yum yum!)

Such a relaxing day for me today. Tomorrow is even better.

Half day off school for a (censored- cause model student cannot say bad things on Internet) reason and I am only going to school to attend P.E. I regret to say that I am totally not fully utilizing my time by not attending school but being a model student, I know that this is wrong and that I have to fufill my responsibilities and report to Tanjong Rhu to run around the field.

Sianz. Even model students will meet with obstacles and challenges. But no worries, I will approach this issue in a matured manner and deal with it appropriately.

When a model student grows up, it is most likely that he/she will have an important job to create an impact in the society. Here are some things that model students like me should keep by:

When I grow up and have a car and become a boss, I will just park my car even though the only slot left is sunny and not shady.

I will clear my only plates.

I will not be mean to people who are weaker in their jobs. I will want to help them instead of telling them that I can fire them because I have the authority to do so.

I will be humble and treat everybody as an equal.

Wow, I have already learnt so many lessons for character building this year and it's only March. This is good news because I need to spend the remaining months studying hard for my future as a boss.

I am such a good student :)

[EDIT] Inspired thoughts: I think that it is indeed right to to group TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE and VEGETABLE together. Not because they rhyme, but cause veggies are horries and terries. [/EDIT]

2010-03-10T21:51:00.003+08:00

1) Saw this on my friend's blog.

2) Couldn't resist kupping 'cuz 好东西要分享! Lala~

乱乱讲之 All grounds covered

2010-03-08T20:55:00.002+08:00

Hello boys and girls,

We are here today to embark on a very valid, relevant and real CIP Project, in which we can apply the knowledge that has been imparted to us in school.

This project is dubbed PTP -- Purposeful Tile Project.

This project aims to provide a solution for negative roots -- we are going to cover them up with tiles donning complex mosaic designs. After which, we are to simply pretend that they don't exist; these roots are imaginary!

World Population

2010-03-06T22:12:00.002+08:00

This is a little over due but it's quite funny:

In Jocelyn's essay, she wrote:

"... and this can reach out to billions, even trillions of people."

The GP teacher circled the world trillion and added a comment:

"World population only 6.5 billion."

LOL Jocelyn is so retarded. Hahahaha.

Happy Chinese New Year!

2010-02-13T19:04:00.004+08:00

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

During CNY, we will see many faces. Faces that we have not seen for a long time, faces that we only see once a year, faces that we look forward to seeing so much. But the one face that we are all really looking to amonst this sea of faces is none other than...

This is my brother on the newpaper when he was 5 months old. Last time so cute now so chou. HAHAHA.

Pictures

2010-02-10T21:41:00.003+08:00

My new email signature hahaha LOL I took ideas from different teachers cause the format varies slightly with different people. Click to enlarge!

From an MSN conversation:

Brigitte you retard :D TEE-HEE. Hahaha.

林宥嘉 is in SG! :D

2010-02-04T22:06:00.004+08:00

林宥嘉 is breathing the same air as me right now! :D The last time we breathed in the same air was polluted air from Beijing and Shanghai. (Yes he actually went there at the same time as us! :D)

He's having a concert at St. James Powerstation now and I am doing a CSC essay :(

Stupid assie end so late tomorrow I think we can't have the albums signed liaoz. BAD ASSIE.

Still, tomorrow is going to be a happy day! :) I hope he sings as many songs as possible YIPPEEE I've been waiting so so so so long to hear him sing live again.

ASSIE SUCKS.

愛上

2010-01-29T18:10:00.004+08:00

This is currently my favourite song and I'm going to learn all the lyrics and sing to everyone because Mummy taught me to share all the good things that I have. Since I have such a good voice, I should be generous and share it with all the people around me. I want World Peace! :)

I'm off to complete more tutorials. I must really be vigilant about my position as "Every teacher's favourite student" in class. I suspect that Liang Wei is secretly trying to throw me off my honourable position. But fear not, I will fight with him till the end! :)

The Joke Book Compilation project

2010-01-29T17:57:00.004+08:00

6C21 has decided to compile all of Mr Tan's jokes into a book to give to him on Teacher's day this year. I think we're also giving a copy to Zhen Zhou cause he seems to enjoy them a lot. (He is the only one who laughs enthusiastically every time a joke is made.)

Lecture was exciting today cause we were paying close attention so that we will not miss his jokes and our hearts always beat faster whenever he made one cause we had to write them down before we forget.

A preview:

Joke 1:

*drawing a graph on the board*
*points to sharp peak*

Mr Tan: "Ouch!"

Joke 2:

"I'm talented at drawing tangents cause my surname is Tan."

:)

It's going to be a best seller. Maybe Mr Tan will be more famous than J.K. Rowling.

The Empty Spot

2010-01-23T17:25:00.002+08:00

6C21 is afraid of going in late for GP lessons.

On Friday, after the lecturer let us off, I turned my head over to talk to Christine. After a few seconds, we realized that the entire space around us is empty! The entire class fled off immediately after the lecture officially ended :O

Christine and I were so amused while hurrying off ourselves. As I turned back, I saw Wayne pointing at the empty space where my class had once been, his face in shock. Haha! The empty spot was really amusing especially since everybody else was still sitting around like they were still having a lecture.

My life is so exciting! Hahaha!

I have grown up!

2010-01-21T21:59:00.003+08:00

School is so exciting nowadays! I think it must be due to the fact that A levels is arriving soon.

I'm sitting with Jocelyn this year during tutorials and my limbs are really happy with this change as they can finally get a break from Jia Min. No more torturing sessions!

GP is the most exciting lesson ever cause I get so scared of being caught on to answer questions that I get too excited :) Econs is exciting cause I have already forgotten everything that I've learnt so it's like learning new things, which is really exciting hahahaha. Physics is exciting because I am no longer the Physics rep. Math is exciting cause I have a new teacher this year and I like his voice haha!

CSC is still rather un-exciting. I think WYC really dislikes me but it's ok, I am going to be a good student and pretend that I am not really bothered by it. But since I'm still rather upset, I decided not to wish her 'Happy Teachers Day' this year.

Omg I can't believe I am talking like I have so much freedom on the internet.

Life is so exciting, full of challenges.

I started on my homework immediately after I reached home. I think I'm turning into an angel. I think it must be me maturing after having my rebellious period for 1 month. I am turning into an adult!

So proud of myself :)

Spritus 2010

2010-01-19T21:04:00.002+08:00

Orientation is finally over! I took a group (D2!) with Yue Wan and Terence.

DRAKON! :D

I like my junior class! :)

Day 1 was a little awkward, cause we were all strangers to one another and people like Baxter kept acting cool, which totally did not help in the situation LOL. But somehow along the way, we managed to know more about one another and all of them are actually as retarded as Jocelyn (HAHA I KNOW YOU READ THIS BLOG LOL)

And I think they all love me ttm (Yes, I finally know that this means to the max and not tutu man LOL) cause they like to whine using my name hahaha. Though Bin Bin still can't do it the RIGHT way haha! Jie Min started it when she was whining and I totally have no idea why the others had to follow. I think it must be because I am too smart and chio and they all want to strive to be like me. Ya, must be la. Hahahahaha.

Day 2- During the War Game, some random Bennu girl scratched me like ?!? when my water bomb has already burst.

Me: Eh eh don't be violent! *squeaks*
Violent Girl: What are you saying?!? THIS IS WAR! *scratches me*

WTH LOL OMG I WAS ABUSED-.-
And Pamela laughed at me zomg-.-

Day 3- WATER FEST. I was the SM for Water Polo and I spent my day rotting there for like forever. It's the worst game to be SM for cause it's super boring. Plus my voice was totally dying so Pamela was the one shouting and all I had to go was to countdown to every 10 minutes PLUS nobody was willing to change SM roles with me cause we all know how boring it is. Sian. LOL. Heard that D2 got 1st in all the violent games at ECP though LOL.

Played 'Pig' in the evening, Yue Wan the sore loser still has not completed her forfeit YET. Haha. That night, we figured it out that our group 四肢发达 but 头脑简单. We can do all the violent games but not any games that requires too much of our brain power. LOL.

Night Walk- Jie Min etc. fell for the the trick that someone was really missing haha! YIPPEEEE. The funniest part about the night walk is that all of them got super scared at the beginning of each station only to find out that it is only, ok. And Baxter was scared of Shi Ying the ghost who grabs and scratches hahaha.

Jie Min: You are scared of our house captain?!?

Hahahaha. The mannequin part where we had to bend down at the entrance was quite scary cause I was at the front and I was the one who got a shock-.- LOL. And we kept getting lost and mixed up with our routes which was abit of a spoiler.

Day 4- D2 actually got 1st in our route for amazing race (route P). This is like ?!?!?! LOL I thought we were super slow all along. We wasted half an hour trying to rescue a stray balloon in a shopping centre (when it didn't even belong to us LOL) and we had to backtrack to a previous station cause we forgot to get the task sheet and we spent a super long time eating. So it was quite a nice surprise when we got back. Must be I too pro already la, cause last year orientation my group also got 1st for amazing race *shy*

Bin Bin was super brave to go on the GMAX ride! The guys were all scared of heights LOL and it was supposed to be either Huang Cheng or Yang Ge but they were giving the others a chance to try cause they took the ride before.

Bin Bin: *confused* What am I supposed to do on the ride? What is it about?
Yue Wan: Oh. You just sit on the chair and scream.

LOL.

Our last station was at some place that looked like Malaysia?! and it was super tiring zzz we took a freaking long time trying to find Hong Sheng and we kept walking the wrong way when we were going backkkkk. This means that we had to walk even longer :S And the person who walked the slowest in our group and who was supposedly the fastest runner failed us when we were running back to school. In the end, it was Han Lin who saved the day! Haha.

House Initiation at night! :) The juniors were led down to the elevated platform from the hall BLINDFOLDED and wow, this is the first and only time when they were all so guai and we did not have to run around to look for stray or slow people who kept disappearing, aka Han Lin and Baxter. I HOPE BOTH OF YOU WILL BE OGLS NEXT YEAR AND YOUR GROUP MEMBERS WILL KEEP DISAPPEARING. LOL hahahahahaha.

Anw I felt so accomplished cause while they were all blindfolded, I matchmaked 2 couples and got Jie Min and Baxter to bow to me 90 degrees haha!

"I now knight you a drakon warrior" soon became "drakon warrior" cause Daniel was too lazy and Ben Zhang was even worse cause he kept trying to make Daniel summarise it to "warrior". Haha. The good thing about being a small house is that we get to finish our initiation at a faster pace.

The Year 6s got knighted again :D and I got a chop on my face and a large smudge on my thigh thanks to our violent house captain. LOL.

DRAKON DRAKON BRING IT UP
DRAKON DRAKON SHAKE IT UP
BRING IT UP
SHAKE IT UP
DRAKON DRAKON
HU HA!

:D

Through orientation, I got to better-know the rest of the year 6 drakons like Qian Hui Jing Qi etc :)

And I am not doing the EIWA clap for sometime cause I am freaked out by Amy hahaha.

NOOBCAKE! :D

(I lost my I <3 Drakon wristband :( SADDDDD)

2009-12-30T21:54:00.006+08:00

I finally caught Avatar today!!!!!(Is the sentence grammatically correct? The more I read the weirder it sounds to me...)

Wuhahaha! (brb im watching tv now)

...

I wanted to blog more since watching Avatar (finally) got me in my bloggin mood but I am currently too disturbed by Tai Shan's encounter. I am (mildly) traumatised actually. ><

Good bye.

Because of the fact that I cannot view any blogger pages in China, I will be blogging here:

5C21 Class Chalet

2009-11-20T12:39:00.001+08:00

This is one of the most successful class chalets that I've been to :D

OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT I WAS HAVING A HEADACHE HALF THE TIME CAUSE OF THE FLU JAB :(

Morning, 1000AM
We were in school handing in I&R! :D :D
(Side note: I want to show off! I handed in my much edited 2nd draft after a 1st draft with lots of comments like 'And then?', 'So what?' AND wls said that it has not much problems! She only gave me 1 sentence of comment, compared to the 18 comments from draft 1. HAPPY! My EOM only had not much problem in the 4th draft. LOL. *beams*)

I was already suffering from the flu jab at that time :(

Morning, 1130AM
REACHED HOME! Bus 12 was super fast that day! 1/2 hour only! I slept for an hour :D

Afternoon, 1400PM
Met the others to take shuttle bus. I saw Terence first and I was stranded beside a Pedestrian crossing with Terence's bag, his guitar, his dirty pillow, my bag and two baskets of plums. LOL.

Best friend came to save me after that. She took hold of Terence's dirty pillow with a plastic bag cause its filthy and nobody dared to touch it. LOL.

We took the shuttle bus without Yu Hui CAUSE HE WAS LATE. And Terence spent the whole bus journey chasing behind the bus on his bike. LOL. According to him, he waved to us enthusiastically at one point at some traffic junction but everybody ignored him cause nobody saw him. Haha!
Afternoon, 1445PM
Best friend, Christine, Wei Jie, Terence and I went to buy stuff from NTUC! :D

I managed to sneak in my spinning crackers (which I didn't eat in the end-.-) and sneaked Terence's Snoopy potato chips (SNOOPY?!?) and Wei Jie's Koko Krunch (HELLO?!? KOKO KRUNCH?) Hahaha.

Yue Wan fought so hard to take away my fishball crackers but she forgot to put them on the shelf after reasoning so much. She actually placed them back in the trolley. And I'm the trolley pusher. *triumph!*

Anyway, the best thing about this shopping trip is the last part when we were waiting for Ying Jie's dad's car to help us ferry the groceries to the chalet.

Terence: ROAR! (To Zhen Zhou, who appeared halfway from his home.)
*random kid walks past*
Kid: ROAR!
Terence: ROAR!

The kid runs away and ran back to NTUC. We thought he was gone for good.

All of a sudden, he appeared again with a blank NTUC price tag. And he secured it on Terence's butt. And he kept doing that--running back and forth, stealing tags and pasting them on Terence's ass.

Finally,

Us: Terence, just run into the toilet first or something. Just get away from him!!
Terence: No, I am not going run away from A KID.

At this crucial moment, the kid ran back and guess what?

Terence ran around our NTUC trolley like ten times with the kid chasing him at the back.

WHO SAID HE WASN'T GOING TO RUN AWAY FROM A KID.

LOL.

Ying Jie and her dad came a while later and Wei Jie wrote back on Terence's bike in the rain o.O

Oh no my memory is failing me I'm forgetting what happened after that.

OH.

Wei Jie: This room looks haunted.

Omg what a terrible sentence WL I was silently freaked out for a while. Until I spotted linyoujia on TV :D

Was quite sick for a while so basically I lazed around until I had a super effective panadol from Lineatte! I recovered super fast like 10 minutes later! LOL.

I learnt how to play a song on the guitar! Wei Jie said that I'm his BEST STUDENT. This means that I'm super talented and intelligent and smart :)

I can still remember the notes up till now, except for the last notes :D
Actually there are only 4 notes in the whole song up till the bridge hahahaha.

And I learnt how to play the mahjong! My two 'first times' at the chalet :)

Ying Jie was really the one who taught me how to play. She explained the rules and everything.

Here I am at my first game:

I look like I'm deep in thoughts but, not really LOL. As you can see, the backstage player of this game is Xing Qi.

At the beginning of the game,

Me: Eh, you all must let me win ok, the first game in my entire life leh!

After like 10 minutes...

Jocelyn: YAY! I WIN! YAY YAY!
Me: Eh! Never let me win! WL :(
Jocelyn: Haha! Haha! I win leh!

A few days later...

Me: That Jocelyn lor, make me lose in my first game :(
Jocelyn: No la, I forgot.

LOL LOL hahaha.

I had better luck in my 2nd game cause I had a change of instructor, from Xing Qi to Zi Le. LOL. But I still lost my 3rd game. According to Zi Le, it was because I gave him a pat on his shoulder. But actually it doesn't work this way cause I keep patting everybody's shoulders everytime I walk past the table, especially Liang Wei's. Hahaha.

My fourth game was with Wu Lao Shi. She was super sarcastic when I won.

WLS: "WOW 美苹，赌王哦！你好厉害哦！WOW!"

LOL. This was an extract from the conversation between her and Christine before the game started:

WLS: 你们如果输了会不会把牌丢在地上？
C: 不会
WLS: 那你们会不会翻桌子？
C: 不会
WLS: 可是我会耶

Haha!

I can't remember much liao, except that we were playing Truth or Truth in the room. We have been lying on the bed for 1h+ or something until Brigitte suddenly got down.

B: Just now when I was in bed I kept searching for bits of Ruffles in my mouth.

LOL.

The others went out for some night activities, which turned out to be a ghost story session. :S
I didn't follow due to my poor health condition :(

We watched 'My Girlfriend is an Agent' on the morning of the 2nd day and I think all of us laughed too loudly or something. There was this woman sitting two rows in front of us who told us to lower our volumes. Right after she said that, Han Jiamin who was behind and didnt hear burst into laughter and exclaimed something loudly LOL Haha.

Didn't stay on cause I was too sick. Was supposed to go Cello lesson but arranged it for another day in the end. Didn't go night cycling with them :(

Christine learnt how to ride the bike for 10m though. Hahaha.

:)

GOING CHINA TMR. HAVE NOT PACKED. LOL. I DISLIKE SNOW LA :( SNOW IS NOT PRETTY AT ALL CAN. SIAN.

...

Sigh. But for now, lunwen and Holiday packages* beckons.

*Holiday packages, in this context, has no relations to those Chan Brothers Holiday packages that you see flooding the newspapers advertorial page(s). Rather, I am refering to E_ _ _ s Department and M_ _ _s Department Holiday packages.

The Everlasting Waltz of Life

2009-11-06T22:58:00.000+08:00

"Good morning examiners, we are from DH012 and I am Zhen Zhou. This is Wei Jie, Lineatte, Christine and May Ping"

"Thank you Zhen Zhou. Now I shall talk about the values of life-long marriages in Singapore. Why do we want to conserve life-long marriage? This is because one of our 5 shared values of Singapore states that the family is the basic unit of society."

"Thank you Wei Jie. In view of the previous analyzed causes of divorce, as well as the present context where people have the mis-perception of the value of marriage, we have developed the following objectives to ultimately achieve our aim of conserving life-long marriages. They are:
Firstly, to improve interpersonal skills of couples as it can achieve effective communication which can help in avoiding conflicts with in-laws and even other conflicts that could threaten life-long marriages."

"Thank you Lineatte. Now I will tell you more about our next programme, STRETCH. To put it simply, STRETCH is a premarital programme. It is a programme targeted at couples who are considering tying the knot."

"Thank you Christine. Now, I will explain more about our next programme, MARS.
MARS, M-A-R-S, is actually the acronym for ‘Marriage and Relationship Studies’.
This is an education programme, and it can actually be considered the most important part of our project."

I WILL NOT BE HEARING ANY OF THESE STATEMENTS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

OP HAS ENDED!
And my hairstyle today was totally perfect.

Now I am going to show off our products.

Designs that were rejected :'(

The M Card (Male and female version)

Reason for rejection: Too childish looking, does not fit theme. SOBS.

Poster raising awareness on the STRETCH programme.

Reason for rejection: "This looks like its from the phantom of the opera..."

This means that I stuck with the theme too well when I was drawing it for the US book. LOL. Cannot reuse! :( Anw I suddenly rmb now that its also considered plagiarism to republish my own work right-.- So its actually good that this is not accepted. LOL.

Designs that were accepted :)

Poster 1: Used to remind couples to appreciate their marriages. For those who are currently facing problems in their marriages, we want them to be reminded of their past memories together and that they have to give in to one another to make their marriage a successful one. Photos like the one featuring an old couple walking hand in hand is used to encourage couples in their prevalent marriage.

Poster 2: Used to raise awareness on our project.

The M Card

Front of card: Marriage is like a present from the heaven! :) This card is also a present to encourage couples to spend more quality time together.

Back of card: Featuring Fann Wong and Christopher Lee.

林宥嘉感观/世界

2009-11-01T00:17:00.000+08:00

Today is a happy day! :D
I finally got my hands on Yoga's 2nd album! HAPPY :D

I looped the whole album thrice already and this album is really really really damn freaking good. (I have just used 2 words that Christine deems as vulgar LOL.)

I think I have super good taste to like 林宥嘉 la. He's not good-looking la, sometimes his hair like ah pek, but his songs and his voice is freaking good.

My favourite songs so far: 关于我, 耳朵, 说谎, 心酸, 另一个自己, 感同身受

Ok that's around 1/2 the album liao. LOL. I like the rest too, just that these are favourites. My favourite favourite is 心酸 and 感同身受

My least favourite song is 飘 :O

I'm not a music critic la, so I can't really comment that much, but I feel inspired after listening. I sort of have this warm fuzzy feeling which is like :D and I don't really know how to describe the feeling and I can't be bothered to think of any fancy words LOL. It just feels like :) when you listen to him.

Though some people always say that he's like just another Eason Chan, and I can also feel it from his 口气 when he's singing sometimes, but I think he really got rid of the Eason Chan thing in this album :D

Plus the album looks cool! And its $15. Everybody should go buy it.

(I stole this photo from somewhere)

The whole album is actually made up of 3 posters and 1 thick cardboard piece. The posters are folded around the cardboard piece to take up the shape of a book and the entire thing is in a zip-lock bag. It looked so cool on the shelf when I went to buy it :)

I took like 10 minutes to open the zip lock bag LOL. Cause the scotch-tape thing is quite complicated and I had to tear them out one by one carefully. I was too anxious at first and tore a bit of the blue sticker, but I secured it back with the round sticker. LOL.

And WOW he looks so good in all the photos :D No more ah pek hairstyle! I went to check the credits, his hairstylist is someone called Johnny, the one who gives him horrible hairstyles only styled his hair in the 说谎 MV. No wonder it looks kind of ugly. LOL.

And I feel weird seeing him half-naked in that few seconds of the MV. I feel so embarassed for him-.- LOL. Anyway he said that he felt embarassed too. LOL. He mentioned in some article that his fans won't be dissapointed by his figure cause he has always harped on the fact that he has a no-so-good figure. I think I agree with this point. When I heard that there was going to be this scene I felt embarrassed even before watching it. LOL.

I think this whole album is better than the 1st one, which I already liked quite a lot. Shall have fun listening. And he better don't schedule his promotion period in Singapore when I'm in China, in which I think the probability of it happening is 9:1 :(

See, the scholarship is obstructing my happiness AGAIN. LOL.

Anyway I want to complain that the CD Rama in Pasir Ris is S-L-O-W. They didn't have the album in the afternoon on 30/10 when I went to get it :( And anw I found out that Cheryl likes 林宥嘉 too! :D

NEW ALBUM, SO EXCITING! :D

P.S. My 论文计划书 is finally heading in some direction! :D

Project Work

2009-10-17T23:11:00.000+08:00

Although everybody is like complaining about PW, but I think I actually enjoy it a lot. Haha!

We had a 4 hour consultation with wulaoshi last week and we thought that it was the limit already but hey, guess what? We had a 5 hour consultation on the Thursday that just passed! I think we're record breakers for the longest consultation time LOL.

At first it was rather tiring for our necks cause we kept craning to see the stuff on the laptop but all of a sudden, we had this ingenious idea and decided to attach the laptop to the projector. LOL! WLS sat at the teacher's desk with the laptop and the 5 of us sat on the first row and gave feedback to our WR thingys, after which she will contribute her comments. I think Wei Jie was too tired and fell asleep halfway but I didn't realise at all. I found out from RACHEL LOL and he said that we didn't wake him up but actually, we really didn't know. LOL.

WLS is super super nice la! She actually stayed back so late with us. And omg! I had to re-do my M-card and poster cause she said that cartoons = childish = don't fit our sleek theme. SAD :(

WLS was very amused because we kept answering her questions using the same words in the same manner at the same time. LOL. And as a side note, Lineatte is turning crazy.

Our WR is more or less completed so we started slacking.

Friday: We met up to play Spot the Difference on Facebook-.-
Today: We webcammed Yuewan's group and had fun disturbing Justin while doing work in Subway.

We always do the most constructive work when we DON'T meet.

Extract from Yuewan's conversation after the webcam session:

Yuewan: Aiya wanted to show you the new gummy that I bought, but I can't take it out cause Liangwei is here and I don't want him to see it cause he will EAT IT ALL UP. The other time he ate all my sweets during consultation so he is never going to eat my stuff again!!! Omg I hate him!

Mmmmhm. Hahaha. Surprisingly, Terence was not wearing a singlet. Hahaha. And we had a punching session with Yuewan through the webcam. LOL.

And we decided that Justin is an old man who's brain is too straight, so we decided to loosen him up by teaching him some grooving dance moves~

DH012: Yo yo shake it up baby!
Justin: NO. I am going to STAND STILL.
DH012: Today is best friend day and zhenzhou would like to tell you that you're his best friend! *kissing wink*
Justin: -.-

He refused to shake it up no matter how many times we told him and he insisted on carrying on with his old man attitude LOL.

Comparing him with his group mate Mr Loy...
(actually the ZZ below = us)

XQ: Hey zhenzhou want to play garena after pw?
ZZ: What's garena? Is that a girl's name? Ooh I'm excited.

LOL.

ZZ: Shake it up baby!!!
XQ: *inserts 2 dancing winks and starts being crazy*
ZZ: Omg I am scared. Why are you shaking so much! You should learn more from Justin :(
XQ: Sorry its not my fault. There's an earthquake here!

....

Well, it's like yin and yang. They complement each other in their PW group. LOL.

And I think ZZ is ruined for life cause we made him sound like a lunatic everytime someone talks to him on MSN. LOL.

Though it seems like we are slacking (Ok fine, we are. Haha.), Zhen Zhou and Wei Jie were not better off, cause both of them are addicted to Mousehunt or something. They have to sound the horn every 15 mins. But ZZ is smarter now, he dl-ed some cheat thingy-.-

Oh and I forgot to mention: Christine and Zhen Zhou cried today because of PW :S

Sian. Don't worry la!

It has been wonderful bullying Christine during PW. She totally deserves it. And I think our PW is super successful cause I even feel like getting married looking at it. Christine tells me that I can marry her but no way! I do not want ugly kids! :) Heh heh.

Ok that's all. I think our WR is so chio. WHEEEEEEE. I shall continue writing my script for PW.

P.S. I HAVE BEEN SLEEPING AFTER MIDNIGHT EVERYDAY SINCE LAST WEEK :( I think we slack too much in the day LOL.

Extract from a review:

搶聽會上作詞人－施人誠（暱稱薯哥）、製作人－王治平老師、作詞人－陳小霞老師的專輯的說明與感想。

＃王治平老師

今天外面下大雨，注定是一個會發的日子。其實要我老王賣瓜我會很不自在，但是我也很無奈。餐廳的菜好吃、女兒唱歌好聽（笑）。

做宥嘉的專輯真的很有感覺。他是很少數，我在mi完後，還會反覆聽的藝人。他和我有著對音樂同樣的taste，算是〞忘年知音〞吧。他是一個真的〞作音樂的人〞。但他其實蠻討厭的，就是自己有很多想法，卻又會自己一一推翻它（笑）。就好像，記得20年前，我和哈林那時在幫XXX（抱歉，忘記名字 XD）做一張專輯。他就站在我旁邊，一直說，要怎麼做怎麼做；10年前，和陶吉吉的時候也是在我旁邊一直跟我說，要怎麼做怎麼做。10年後，我碰到林宥嘉，他也是（笑）。

像這次〞飄〞這首歌，是黃建為的曲。黃建為的曲子是很fork的。一開始是保持原味不變，但讓我一直聽得很不夠爽。後來宥嘉就說要加keyboard進去，接著他就站在我旁邊，一直說要怎麼樣怎麼樣，真的很煩（笑）。到最後這首歌重mi了3次。大家知道，mi一首歌要5萬元，mi3次就要15萬（笑）。

這次的專輯有很多有想法又很有創意的創作人加入。像新加坡的writter－Sugama Terry、美日混血的Skot、還有2～3位的內地創作人。也因為為了品質的關係，這張專輯delay了半年才發行。從這裡可以看出華研的用心，為了專輯的品質，不急著發片。相信大家可以從這張專輯裡看見宥嘉的進步。

＃陳小霞老師

其實我真的沒有想過，今天自己會從山上走下山來到這裡，大膽露出胡亂發胖的身材。我女兒曾經跟我說，叫我除了發片時期以外，沒必要不要出來嚇人。但是今天我告訴她我要來參加宥嘉的搶聽會，她竟然跟我說︰〞那妳還不趕快去﹗〞（笑）。

我今天看見宥嘉，發覺他身材健壯了些。他說他在練身體。但是宥嘉練身體不是像一般人一樣為了秀身材。這個我知道。做第一張專輯〞殘酷月光〞的時候，我其實不是那麼認識宥嘉。認識宥嘉，是因為施人誠的關係。有天他說，他們公司有一個新人想介紹我認識。坦白說，我沒有看歌唱比賽的習慣，在網路上看的影片其實音效都不是那麼好，所以我剛認識宥嘉時，只覺得他是一個〞很善良、很好奇、很有禮貌〞的孩子。沒想到這個猴死鷹那（死小孩的台語）這麼會吃﹗

但其實，每次和宥嘉吃飯時他都會問問題。很多我從來都沒有思考過的問題。我真的要感謝宥嘉，謝謝他帶我重新認識創作這件事情。常常和他碰面的時候，他就告訴我〞我最近在寫歌，如何如何～〞，而且每次見面的時候他都一定帶著吉他。電吉他也好、或是木吉他。木吉他其實很重的。而且他常常走到哪裡就唱到哪裡。大家都知道他聲音其實不小（笑），他每次想到就開始唱，路人當然會聽到啊，就過來看他，我就把頭低下來（笑）。有時會碰到路人過來要拍照，宥嘉真的是一個很誠實的小孩。他會說︰〞很抱歉，我不能跟你拍照，但是我可以跟你握手。〞他真的很誠實。很多人會覺得他這樣是在搞笑，但是，他只是很誠實。

宥嘉，大概唯一一個可以跟我比〞愛寫歌〞這件事的人就是你。當然，你現在還比不過我，因為我寫的歌比你多太多。但是，我已經很久沒有跟唱片圈的人聊音樂聊到眼睛有火花。很多唱片看不到品質、看不到誠意。雖然這張專輯我還沒有全部聽過，但是宥嘉，你的這張專輯，真的是非常有誠意的作品。

＃施人誠老師

這張專輯，真的是一張很有誠意，很與眾不同的作品。希望大家會喜歡。

概念。這張專輯，一開始我們是想做一張讓大家更了解林宥嘉的歌曲。但是後來想想，一張專輯只說林宥嘉實在有點無聊，於是我們決定把格局做得大點。除了收好聽的歌曲以外，唱片其實也是出版物，於是我們希望這張專輯能賦有使命、理念、想法或是信仰。

就像宥嘉從以前也一直說，他希望他收的歌，歌詞要有內容。不只是情歌，而是能有所啟發，又或者是，在孤單的時候，能夠扶助心臟的作品。這張專輯的概念，是在說人與人之間的〞了解〞。要好好的聽好好的說，才能了解別人。

關於〞關於我〞－
很多音樂人都說，宥嘉是一個能給創作人很多想像空間的歌手。剛好李麗芬在她〞刮鬍刀與我〞的專輯裡有這首歌〞關於我〞，我們就想〞啊，那剛好〞。所以在這張專輯，我們希望能讓更多人了解林宥嘉在想什麼、看到什麼，增加對林宥嘉的了解。結果就一發不可收拾～

關於〞歇斯底里〞－
這首歌的靈感來自於，因為大家都知道，宥嘉在演唱會上唱〞Stand by me〞、唱〞病態〞、或是上次和五月天合唱的時候，現場演唱的他其實是很歇斯底里的。於是我們就想，那就做一首歇斯底里的歌給他唱吧。

關於〞感同身受〞－
其實這次搶聽會聽歌的順序跟專輯是不一樣的。這首歌是這張專輯的最後一首歌。算是下一個結論。希望大家聽完後....嗯～看大家聽完後是不是會有感同身受的感覺。

關於〞心酸〞－
這首說的是青澀年代的回憶。來自於宥嘉寫過的一篇文章〞可使用的都還在〞裡，他等待女朋友的心情。不知道大家聽完後是不是會有心酸的感覺？
（聽完後）
嗯～剛好我跟這首歌的作詞人很熟（OS︰啊不就是你自己﹗）。他說呢，這首歌其實是劉若英那首〞後來〞的男生版。那到底是什麼意思，大家可以去跟〞後來〞對照一下就會知道。（OS︰其實你就是想說這個梗咩～啊～知道啦﹗）

關於〞唐人街〞－
接下來這首歌是宥嘉在專輯中很喜歡的。它的配樂是宥嘉最喜歡，也最囉嗦的。它很有英式搖滾的味道。很迷幻。

關於〞耳朵〞－
很謝謝小霞老師和姚若龍老師寫了這首歌。（抱歉，到了這邊，我真的不太記得施老師到底說了什麼了XD）

I think I'm a super good researcher or something, I'm going to tune in to 9.33 tomorrow until I hear his new song. The saddest thing is that I'm having PW for the entire day tomorrow :( My PW group all no taste one, don't know how to appreciate 林宥嘉. LOL haha.

Wake me up when september ends.

2009-10-04T12:51:00.001+08:00

Yoohoo everyone. It's time to wake up!

It's October the 4th already. -.-

2009-09-22T14:28:00.001+08:00

There is this particular line of the Recollections that keeps repeating in my head and it's annoying me.

Okay actually 2.

The First Line and The Last Line. Go figure.

Ciao.

:(

2009-09-15T23:59:00.001+08:00

OMG I AM FREAKING UPSET NOW.

ARGH.

Yellow Earthworms!

2009-09-07T21:50:00.001+08:00

Went for the first day of N.E.mation today! :D We were discussing how PW skills were really useful and applicable. LOL.

After our hectic brainstorming session and together with a stroke of luck, we have managed to get into one of the top 20 placing! :)

This is going to be one busyyyyy week, but nevertheless fufilling.

Anw I love Math :D I figured out that I can finish studying for Promos. (I think.)

But I'm quite worried about something important though.

I haven't passed any motion today! Must be the food! Next time if theres another feedback form maybe I can tell them to include some fruits in their order. LOL.

Some random update from a long time ago:

Mr Tan has this microphone thingy that can connect to the speakers in our classroom. It's wireless and I'm not sure about how it works, but he uses it for every GP lesson.

There was once during his lesson when we were supposed to go for photo taking. Lesson ended early because of that and we were dilly-dallying around in class while he strolled off quickly.

Just as we were taking our own sweet time, the speakers suddenly started talking in his voice when he was nowhere in sight. !!?!

I forgot what he was saying, but it was quite o.O and after a few seconds we found him at the connecting bridge between the two blocks, STILL talking into his mic to us, with some junior high passers-by staring at him. LOL.

O.O

2009-08-27T23:51:00.002+08:00

O.O

Economics In Public Policies: The Singapore Story is under Books Kinokuniya special recommendations (5 titles each from their Weekly Bestsellers for Fiction titles and Non-Fiction titles).

It says:

NON-FICTION
10 mind-boggling non-fiction titles to quench your thirst for more practical
knowledge!

Omg Prizzy that means you were quenching your thirst with a book this morning! *points at Prizzy and erupts in hysterical laughter*

:(

2009-08-27T21:47:00.000+08:00

From now on, I have decided to put my name at the end of every post to distinguish myself from my blog-sharer.

Currently I have
1 GP essay
1 lunwen jihuashu
1 CSC case study
1 big mass of PW stuff to settle

by tonight :(

And it's already 10! :(

This is practically the reason why this blog is so dead.

---

Hundreds of things have happened in the past month that I've stopped blogging.

Like I have actually taken an A level exam. Physics SPA! LOL.
And having farewell lunch with Mr Yeo.
And shutting Jiamin up (x9999999999999999999999)

And I need to shit now so I'm going to publish this post NOW.

Bye!

From I-need-to-shit-now,
ESTHER.

2009-08-25T19:40:00.000+08:00

I'm trying very hard not to blog about today's Maths Lecture Test. And as you can see, I have just failed (not refering to the Maths Lecture Test itself though).

Oh well. Decided to pop by for a post today since I have things to blog about, as in Real Stuff (c'mon, you dont really want to read what I ate for recess and lunch today, yesterday, the day before, etc. right). Haha.

Anyway, the school brought us to Downtown East's bowling arena to bowl yesterday. Being a very observant observer (just lacking a magnifyer to complete the look), Gek Teng made observations that Prizzy and I make great partners -- whenever Prizzy scored, I didn't, and vice-versa. 合作无间sia. Lol.

Well at least Prizzy got a strike. As for me..., I got a "negative" score (if it even exists) instead. Probably only the people in our lanes will understand what i mean. Hha.

...

Actually I think the things im gonna blog about (and have already done so) are pretty boring. If I feel that way, it really must be so, because I always think my jokes are funny -- oh well you get the idea.

Finally, to save you the trouble of differentiating whether im mayping or esther... it's pretty obvious actually. I dropped a huge hint -- "I always think my jokes are funny ".

Okay I should stop throwing my own face here. (As you may have already guess, im a little incoherent today. Just a little. (: )

2009-08-19T22:23:00.000+08:00

I logged in to Blogger intending to upload a photo of Michelle trying to take a photo of her can of 8 Bao Zhou(8 treaures porridge) during Nanjing Trip last year -- i was on the bus next to hers and i was very (with a capital v) amused by sight of her attempting to capture an artistic shot of well, a can of 8 Bao Zhou (-.-!) -- but blogger seems to be quite screwed and i can't find the upload photo function. I can't even print screen and show you how screwed blogger is now.

Count yourself lucky, mich-ella! :D

As all movies like to say at the end (just before the credits), I WILL BE BACK.

Paragraphs in the S-E-E Format (Most of Them)

2009-07-29T18:54:00.000+08:00

I gave the Year 1s and 2s fenzu last Friday!

I felt damn weird there cause I kind of don't remember what fenzu was like. (Fenzus for SYF were all rather CMI. LOL we ended up arm-wrestling Shao Yu, how productive can that be. Haha.) I didn't even plan on giving them fenzu in the first place. I was just there to kpo and somehow I ended up clapping the rhythm of Chan Mali Chan as they played. LOL.

Chan Mali Chan, which I have only played twice. Hahaha. But anw thankfully its an easy song.

We were about to go through Jun Ma but thankfully we only went as far as half a page cause I could tell that it would be a painful process to finish the entire song.

And now I can remember very clealy who Mabel Sandy and Hui Xin are. I'm so smart! Haha. I can't remember the Year 1s' names. Too complicated. I can only remember Cheery cause her name's quite special.

---

Some random updates in my life:

1) Rachel Tang Zhuo Min (I arranged your name this way on purpose.)
Rachel told me something damn shocking two Sundays ago. It was super shocking at first but I found it quite funny after that. Hahahaha.

2) Don't use Terence's shampoo. (That's if he uses any.)
Terence Yong laid his head on my file today and MY FILE TURNED OILY. Omg did he not wash his hair for a week!? LOL. Anw this is something funny that he said to Christine:

T: Christine can you help me collect the form please?
C: Ok.
T: Omg thankyou! You are the second best thing on Earth!
C: ?? What's the first best thing?
T: Fiona Xie.

LOL.

3) New teacher
I have a new CT/Econs teacher! I think my Econs is going to improve under her woohoo~ Haha. I just hope that she won't ask me too many questions during lessons cause I will first get a shock that she just called upon me and my mind will blank out and I will spend some things filling the blanks and maybe afterthat I might think of the answer. Or maybe I won't.

4) Project Work
Met up with Christine early before PW last Satuday to do homework. It turned out rather unproductive cause I spend 3 hours doing Part a) and 1/2 of Part b) of CSC Case Study. We kept chit-chatting haha. But nevertheless, is is much more productive than it would have been if I had just stayed at home.

Wei Jie was the first to arrive for the project and we initially thought that he was pissed or something. Luckily I had to go to the toilet anw so I left Christine alone hahaha LOL. (I was kind of urgent but I could have stayed with her but I'm kind of o.O of him when he's pissed.) But it turned out that he had this dental surgery thingy and half his face was numb. Which explained for his lack of facial expression, resulting in our misunderstanding.

Zhen Zhou the PW leader was kind of very late that day but anw did I mention before that our group members enjoy being late? Other than Christine who's almost always early. Anw PW is getting on track! Thank goodness we changed topic la. Conservation of Activeness in Middle-aged People is the worst topic on Earth. Thankfully we strayed away from that.

5) CCO
I kept wanting to sleep during the practices. Hahaha Bao Dai Qing is the worst song on Earth! It's so slow and traumatising!

6) Basking in School foyer
Omg I am going to bask in the School foyer next Wednesday after school with the rest of the dhsco Year 5s. When I agreed to play I had no idea I was going to be basking!! And Prida is horrified that we're going to play 'Stand Up for Singapore' in front of the whole school. Haha. Maybe we should invite Cheryl up to sing.

7) CS
The teacher told us to think of a “如果…，我…” sentence so I said “如果我是孔子，我会来我们学校看我的雕像。” LOL.

Jia Jia：如果我没有做这个活动…我会…
老师: 你会什么？ *interested*
Jia Jia：*blur* 我不知道我会做什么…

Hahaha. I would have said 我会在家里睡觉 LOL. Sleeping is currently my No. 1 hobby. Not only do I get to rest, I even get to dream nonsensical stuff, even if they are nightmares.

8) Han Jia Min's wedding
I told her that I would give her wedding angbao (consisting of $8.80) to her spouse to thank him for getting rid of her for us and she actually said: "Eh give more leh! Cause his $ = my $" I changed my mind after that and decided to give her 88c instead. Anw she's the gross-est person on Earth.

Good bye.

Monkey alert!

2009-07-11T14:08:00.000+08:00

There's a big commotion in the area around my block because there's a monkey on loose right now as I am typing this.

According to my brother,

1. The monkey has been on loose for 3+ days.
2. He sighted the monkey twice.
3. The monkey went into my neighbour's balcony.

Apparently the monkey climbed up the water pipe and into my neighbour's balcony, which is on the 9th storey :O

The police were here yesterday evening/night and today afternoon and yes, the monkey is still on the loose.

It was sighted in the playground opposite my house this morning and I heard that it bites.

Fun stories about the monkey

Story number 1:
My brother was returning home from school yesterday when he saw a commotion under our block. Kids and adults were staring at a particular area and people kept screaming 'MONKEY!'. As a dumb person, my brother went to join them and screamed a few times too. -.-

Out of a sudden, someone shouted out from her window: "Keep quiet! My baby is sleeping!"

LOL.

Story number 2:
My neighbour from the floor below me spotted the monkey running across the road with the police running behind it.

Story number 3:
My brother noticed a boy from a school beside my block throwing a handful of peanuts to the monkey. He commented that the boy's teacher did not stop him from doing so and the teacher even accepted some peanuts from the student to eat.

We concluded that the boy really sees his teacher as a monkey lol.

Story number 4:
We spotted a 2nd monkey in my brother's bedroom. Here's the photo:

TA-DA!

A monkey from Shandong. My Shandong buddy gave it to me and my brother claimed it as his own after I brought it back to Singapore. He sleeps with it everyday and he announced to whoever that will listen that it's his girlfriend. It's supposed to be wearing an apron but it's gone now. I have no idea why it is naked.

Random stuff during PW meeting this morning:

I was trying to trace Kitty from the box but it failed cause the tissue was kind of opaque. But my Kitty nicer la hahaha it looks like its looking our from the window of an air plane.

The kitty case is actually Christine's. Jellybeans! (The yellow one is gross, pineapple flavoured :X)

I left this at McDonald's. LOL. The M on the right is screwed cause I was trying to trace the tissue but the tissue was ruined so I coudn't see clearly and it turned out like that. Haha.

Marina Barrage @ Raffles Place (Add-on)

2009-07-10T22:59:00.000+08:00

Oh yea I forgot to blog about this in the previous entry.

This is concerning Priscilla and her future (husband).

We walked past a bridal dress studio while walking to Suntec and Prizzy suddenly exclaimed, "OMT the dresses are so prettaye I WANT TO GET MARRIED NOW!!! :D :D"

(a short pause)

"I think I will take 2 years to pick my wedding dress."

---

So picture this:

Prizzy's Lucky (future) Husband: Dear Shu Li, will you marry me? (;

Prizzy: *screams* (this has been identified as a distinctive Prizzy Trait) Yes! :D

Prizzy's Lucky (future) Husband: :D

Prizzy: But we can only get married 2 years later because I need 2 years to pick out my purrfect wedding dress! :D

Prizzy's Lucky (future) Husband: *screams* *and then faint*

---

LOLLLLLLLLLL! :D

Marina Barrage @ Raffles Place

2009-07-10T22:39:00.000+08:00

Wheee outing to Marina Barrage with Gekteng, Prizzy and Guiju was fun today! :D

Although that Guiju keep niao-ing me -.- as in literally -.-!

"Eh Esther, got bird behind you!"

Seriously, she even said that on the mrt!! -.-

Haha. After taking 120+ photos (we were trying to beat Han Jiamin's record of 116 lol) at the rooftop and exhibiton, we went to McDonald's (marina sq) to play Fei Ji Qi (literally translated as Aeroplane Chess).

Lol it was uber funny. But Gekteng and Guiju were so 客气 with each other so it wasn't as fun because the point of the game is to "kick" each other. Lol. In the end I became the 公敌 for "kicking" Gekteng and Guiju. -.- Tsk!

And prizzy kept screaming whenever she rolled a 6. Lol!

We wanted to catch a movie after that but the hours weren't very auspicious (both Marina Sq's and Suntec's) so we went to McDonald's (suntec) again to chit-chat.

...

Guiju is trying to upload the photos onto facebook now. I'm all armed and ready to un-tag myself any moment.

On a sidenote, I completed The Four (and as im typing this, the rest of my family are watching it) and im looping 爱不疚 now.

Yes, I know im a HBP (highly boring person, not home-based person).

I was looping Sun Yan Zi's 眼泪成诗 before I switched to 爱不疚. That probably explains why I know so little songs 'cuz I keep looping songs I like. Haha.

And those that they play on radio are mostly oldies (cuz mum listens to 97.2 can't help it). 97.2 really practice the 3Rs -- reduce, reuse, recycle-- very faithfully.

1. Reduce: They play a limited range of songs.
2. Reuse: I heard 傻瓜 for 3 consecutive days during dinner time -.-
3. Recycle: They keep playing the same oldies so many times that it gets into my head. That's probably the main reason why I find so many oldies tunes familiar (and getting myself "famous" for this "knowledge". -.- So yuan wang ok!)

Oh yea, I heard 我问天 (in Chinese) just this morning. Haha.

And school is going to reopen soon. Gotta kick my habit of oversleeping/ waking up at 9am!

But well, old habits die hard. Sigh ):

For bored people

WELL, I was supposed to go Bugis to watch By2 today BUT SOMEONE CALLED LEEYILIN PANGSEH-ED ME SO IN THE END I WAS STUCK AT HOME.

I ended up re-watching 超級星光大道第一季的星光颁奖典礼. Which was quite nice, I enjoyed watching all the parts that showed 林宥嘉 crying.

Ok Lee Yi Lin will get it from me one day.

Guide to ownage in JC. - Slack in JC and still excel. (an article from STOMP)

The Pareto Principle states that 80% of our achievements comes from 20% of our efforts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle The following are the 20% you should do and the 80% you should avoid.

Dont do CIP. Waste of time. US Universities dont even bother looking at it. Considers it as free labour and that you are stupid enough to listen to the government/school. In their culture, CIP is only for those who break the law and part of their rehabilitation program. Do only if you wish to apply for government scholarships and courses such as medicine or you are truly altruistic.

For PW (if it still exists in 2009), dont bother doing your GPP well. Just write some crap and hand it to your teacher. Ignore wadever complaints from them. It carries no marks. Insist on keeping meetings to a maximum of 1 hr. Set agenda before meeting. For whatever work, just split the work load, do separately, then meet again to collate. Any surveys data can be faked, and they will not be able to catch you. (not that i recommend you to do that. I strongly believe in research integrity) However, write your WR very well and make sure you excel in the presentation.

For maths, do all the tutorial qns. During tutorials only listen when the teacher has a faster method, or you dont know how to do the qn. Otherwise do wadever you want. (e.g sleep, sms, do other homework, read books, play GC)

For chem, read the notes carefully. Esp if they state any abnormalities. Buy a good textbook and read, do read the fun facts or wadever the book calls it. It is useful esp for application qns.

For phys, just buy a challenging qn book and practice. If you understand the concepts can just throw away the notes.

Econs just read the essay outlines, practice case study skills. Notes almost 80% are junk and not needed in exams.(Good to know, but not useful) You can survive on just 20% content and get a very decent A.

For year 1, dont bother listening to your GP teacher. Yr 1 teachers are crap and they teach crap. Listen attentively in yr 2 though. To survive yr 1, either you read VERY widely, or take GP tuition. Please dont waste your first yr or else your english standard CMI in yr 2.

If you think you are extra smart, join the olympiad training programs and make sure you get selected to represent your sch. Listen very attentively, and MAKE SURE you go back and read the reference books within a 48 hrs timeframe. OR ELSE I guarantee you will be lost in the next lesson. (unless you are a freaking genius of IQ more than 160)

For H3 dont be stupid and take the MOE modules. Take the local Uni ones instead. I highly recommend NTU H3 maths or SMU game theory. SMU game theory is the slackest (around 3 months only). Do the MOE and cry. Do for 1yr-1.5 yrs, get tougher paper, same credit as those local uni ones.

Consider really carefully before you take up research attachments. Literally saps your time away. Including your holidays. If you think you really have the time, do put in commitment and at least get a merit award at the SSEF. Another point to note, only do quality projects from the A STAR research labs, NTU ones are just looking for cheap labour. Go there do testing for the prof, and will not qualify for SSEF first round. However the carrot is you get some money at the end of it. (not sure how much, but around 150)

Join council only if you are sure you are popular and have the calibre to make it to the exco. Anything else gives you little credit, fills/saps your time, and give you insomnia and lack of sleep. Normal council member = free labour. Its a crap CCA and wadever respect/prestige bullshit the sch sells you is nothing but a fallacy. If you want to join it, please dont join for the prestige or for your CCA cert. Join it for the skills you will learn and use for a lifetime, and it will be more worthwhile.

Maintain good relationships with the guard in your school and it will reap dividends for you. In case you need to sneak out of school occasionally. (e.g National day celebration, track and field day, college day etc)

p.s. The above article do not represent our views. Some fellow wrote this and published it on STOMP and I just thought it would be worth a few laughs. Sorry to disappoint the CSC students for the lack of pointers on CSC. There are few pointers on overcoming CSC fears here though: http://mypinkwishes.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-was-just-telling-someone-when-i-read.html

乱乱讲之 Aftermath of Maths CT paper.

2009-07-01T21:04:00.000+08:00

I am here on behalf of Piggy Wong and myself to inform you, our valued ~~customer~~ reader (your current value stands at 6000 cents, and you have 2 unpaid library fines), know that we are still afloat among this sea of salty molecules called CTs.

MP is sick, (PLEASE DO NOT PANIC, place your thermometers on the floor and raise your arms above your ears. EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL), not from H1N1 (okay you can continue breathing now).

MP is "damn sick" (as plagarised from FB) of studying Colons and Open Brackets (this subject will be offered by The Institute of Punctuations in year 2100) i.e. :(

So MP is "damn sick of studying :("

Just like "damn sick of studying chem/CSC"

Hope you, our worth-only-6000-cents-reader(s), are not reading this because you are "sick" too.

If you unfortunately are, do remember to monitor your temperature regularly. Yes, you may now pick up your thermometers from the floor and start attacking your mouth/armpits/wherever you deem fit.

You have 3 hours to answer your temperature datalogbook. Diagrams are to be drawn in soft pencil (marks will be penalised for using hard pencils).

Your 3 hours begin now. Good luck, everyone! ;)

Losts are going to be incurred tomorrow.

Reasons Why I Am Here

Facing the limited amount of time I have, and also being a rational person, I have decided to give up on my next best alternative forgone--Econs to come here because I am suffering from some weird stomachache for being too nervous. Why do I have to give up studying Econs in order to come here? This is because my unlimited wants are restricted by my limited resource of time.

I am currently suffering from a stomach disorder and I highly think that this is due to the Economics paper tomorrow.

It is really sad to say that I am a perfectly inelastic person and I have to bear most of the consequences and undesired tiredness and problems that the CTs are bringing me. The teachers being more elastic are able to enjoy a few hours of peace and serenity while they watch students scribbling away furiously in their classrooms.

The school is really like a PC market, where the intensity of competition is high. Strange thing is the students who earn supernormal profits in the short run are able to exit the industry peacefully while those who earn subnormal profits are retained in the industry. Maybe firms in the PC markets can try to get some new ideas from our educational system.

I am going to shut down my computer soon cause it is now at the shutting point where TR=TVC and I have to shut down should TR be less than TVC and more losses are incurred. Goodbye!

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

I SUCK AT MUGGING. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

---

I have a perfect life.

That is why CTs have freedom of entry and exit in my life.

Err... I think I applied the concept wrongly but WHO CARES. I SUCK AT MUGGING, remember? (It's in the S of my S-E-E)

Anyway, facial post is gone! KEKEXX~~ (LOL)

-iamnotmayping

How OLD are you?

2009-06-23T22:34:00.000+08:00

AFTER THIS POST, ESTHER'S o.O POST ON QUOTES WILL BE GONE!
So much for the welfare of the fans of this blog. (Which is like, ALOT of people YOU KNOW, THEY ARE ALL HERE TO SEE ME.)

For those of you who miss 林宥嘉's presence in this blog! (The facial one not counted la, cannot even see his handsome face!)

范玮琪 33
孙燕姿 31
梁静茹 31
周杰伦 30

2009-06-22T12:52:00.001+08:00

I found mysterious LLCHF#12 already. Turns out that my cousin knows him and they are friends. Same primary school. -.- lol

My cousin knows LLCHF#6 too. Same primary school also.

...

Anyway, I keep getting bankrupt for the McDonald's Game leh. -.-!! Sian. I suck at online games (except for the dressing up kind LOL).

Oh yea. I saw this photo on FB (mayping's album) and I was thinking to myself "this room setting looks very familiar leh"

Then it suddenly struck me that this was our room (prizzy, the one in red and me).

A second thought followed, "errr so this is my room... and where am i?"

That was when I remembered that I was the one who took the photo for them. LOL.

It's a small small world~~~

2009-06-20T14:22:00.001+08:00

Singapore is a really small place, and so is the (schools) CO scene.

Updates about Project "Find Your LLCHF"!

Okay I think I will confuse everyone by calling all my friends LLCHF #____ so I will use their initials instead. There are 17 of us, including me. 6 girls, 11 guys (ratio about like DHS's hahaahahaha).

*inserts photo of graduating K2 class of 1998 in a certain childcare centre in Hougang Blk 7_ _*

Surnames not in full to protect said LLCHF's identity. (Lol.)

First clue I have is that they are 17 years old (supposedly). Second clue applicable only to some -- I know some of them went to Holy Innocents' Primary. Some, and Im not sure who did or didnt. I didnt.

Some of them I can still recognise by the looks even though the last time we met is 11 years ago i.e. in K2 because they still look the same. And the names I have are not full names which makes indentification even harder because for one, there are many many people out there called "esther ng".

Names

LLCHF #01: Hubert, N.
LLCHF #02: Yu Ning, N.
LLCHF #03: Yong En, T.
LLCHF #04: Melvyn, T.
LLCHF #05: Jonathan, K.
LLCHF #06: Dominic, T.
LLCHF #07: Randy, T.
LLCHF #08: Lei Yi, C.
LLCHF #09: Chloe, H.
LLCHF #10: Yong Jun, C.
LLCHF #11: Elizabeth, T.
LLCHF #12: Xiu Yuan, T.
LLCHF #13: V.... (I will check the spelling out later) Venkateshkumar
LLCHF #14: Irwan
LLCHF #15: Chia Hwee, G.
LLCHF #16: Lavanyya
LLCHF #17: Me. -.- lol

And now for the search results. Continuing from LLCHF #05. (For the first 4, please refer to http://36373839.blogspot.com/search/label/Project%20%22Find%20Your%20LLCHF%22)

LLCHF #5 Jonathan, K.
Mutual Friend(s): Khoo Gui Ju. (lol) This one because the profile pic is this:

I have no way of identifying him. -.-! Lol.

LLCHF #6 Dominic, T.
I can (almost) already confirm his identity too because he looks pretty much the same.

LLCHF #07: Randy, T.
No mutual friends but his profile pic looks like he is the one.

LLCHF #08 Lei Yi, C.
FB only gave me one search result so more or less should be her. Age tallies too (Nan Chiao High school '08).

As for LLCHF #09 to #16, I have no clues at all, except that LLCHF#12 Xiu Yuan, T. went to HIPS.

Lah lah. And as for why I said the CO scene is really small... LLCHF #01 is in RJCO (plays same instru as me) and LLCHF #06 is in HCCO (plays the cello). -.- haha

This project has made me do this expression i.e. :O many many times because of the high occurence of sheer coincidences (my poor grammer here shows that im not in a very sane state of mind after all the shocks :O).

And, IM WASTING TIME HERE BY DOING THIS. Back to maths.

Project "Find Your Long Lost Childhood Friends"

2009-06-20T00:18:00.001+08:00

I shall not comment on what dear MP has done to this blog.

(However, I must still say that the facial photo was a little too tramautising for me hahahahahah)

ANYWAY, I have decided (and have actually already started) to embark on a project out of boredom, curiousity, lameness, finger-itchyness, boliaoless and all the 1001 reasons you give for doing stuff outside of "mugging" and "cramming" (applicable only during this pre-CT period).

This project involves a little Google-ing, Facebook searching, and a few names.

As the title of this post has already suggested (if not already spelt out blatantly), this project is called "Find Your Long Lost Childhood Friends".

This is a very very fun project, especially with advanced social networking sites like facebook. However, there is one drawback.

If your friend has a very common name (like mine), it is very hard to identify them among the no-profile-pic-and-4-page-long-list. I like names like Khoo Gui Ju because they are so unique!

This project is EXTREMELY meaningful for me (I must justify using studying time to do this *ahem ahem*) because I not kept in contact with my kindergarden friends at all for 11 years since I graduated in K2. And none of them attended the same primary school as me... *start faking exxagerated sobs*

I have spotted 4 of them, 1 awaiting confirmation. 3 others -- im still thinking of ways to confirm their identities.

It so happens that the world is so small that when I facebook-searched (pardon me for using such a layman term) them, 3 of them showed "mutual friends", and I did this face --> :O

This will make confirming their identities very easy! And so I rubbed my hands in glee (after applying The Hand Sanitiser). Do keep in mind that some of these results are just speculation because I haven't confirmed their identities yet.

Long Lost Childhood Friend #1 Mutual Friend(s): Jiayanz (once again, remember the "z"). The shocking thing is that this LLCHF (sorry lazy to type the whole thing out) plays the guzheng too! Super COOL. :D We used to queue together (and yes, I was the first in line definitely not because I was short...but I don't know why the teacher put me in front also hahahaha)

Long Lost Childhood Friend #2 Mutual Friend(s): Fabian, a primary school friend of mine who is older than me by 86400 seconds i.e. 1 day. And this said LLCHF of mine is coincidentally in Fabian's PW group. And yes, this is the friend that im awaiting confirmation. She used to be one of my best friends back then. :D

Long Lost Childhood Friend #3 Mutual Friend(s): P. Yi Hui & L. Si Hui. I will always remember one incident where this said LLCHF taught me how to spell my mum's name as "army" on mother's-day-card-making-day. Lol. Anyway I have no idea how to check with Yi Hui and Si Hui.

Long Lost Childhood Friend #4 Mutual Friend(s): NIL. But I can already (almost)confirm this LLCHF's identity. Oh yea. We used to play Esso Tigers together.

And this also reminds me, if anyone still has any Esso Tigers at home and planning to give them away, please please please put my name on the top of your give-away list because it has always been my secret wish to own an Esso Tiger (ok now it's not a secret anymore -.-). My cousins have 2 white ones but they refuse to 割爱 and hence I am very sad and have to seek other methods i.e. this.

As for the rest, I was unable to sieve them out from the search results I got from both Google and Facebook. When you have names like Priscilla Tan or Jia Min or Esther Ng (yes I tried searching my own name for fun), you get a long list of search results.

So there, only 4 so far... ):

I will update once The Mutual Friend(s) contact me / get back to me or when any progress has been made. What a meaningful task! :D

[Edit] Omg I found even more ciao stuff. The world is seriously shrinking. [/edit]

For Fans of Esther the Ugly Witch

2009-06-19T20:49:00.000+08:00

Well actually the title should read "For Fan of Esther the Ugly Witch" since Wai Mun is probably the only one in the fan club.

Photo of the day:

Even Esther the Ugly Witch knows that she is ugly! How kind of her not to show her face to public!

---
P.S I really do not wish to say this but as a very responsible and polite, well-mannered girl, I decided that I will say this after all, after so many hours of internal struggle with my inner being. However, there is this angelic part of me that believes in being True You, so here goes:

Assie don't take offence.

P.S. Omg I said it! Now I really am a polite and well mannered girl.

Esther the Ugly Witch

2009-06-18T18:35:00.000+08:00

Once upon a time, there was an ugly witch called Esther (Ng Wan Ting). She was really ugly, like really, really ugly.

However, beneath that ugly face, she had a heart of gold. (This part is Fiction)

For years, she has been trying very hard to get married. However, the other wizards are normally turned off by her at the very first sight because well, as much as I would like to say that looks do not matter, they do. And remember, Esther is really, really, really ugly.

Not to talk about marriage, Esther even have difficulties finding boyfriend. This has not really bothered Esther before because she never really paid any attention to guys.

However, at her late age of 30, she begins to get worried that she will be left on the shelve as an unwanted old witch. (Well actually, she already is but never mind.)

One day, she came up with a plan of going for arranged marriages, just like those we often see in Korean dramas. The matchmaker, by the name of Wai Mun (Wai Mun is a guy) was not very confident in finding a partner for her (In fact, he had no confidence at all. He was even surprised at himself for not puking when he saw Esther's face.) , though he did not express so, because he is a very, very professional matchmaker.

However, as a very successful and well known matchmaker in the district, Wai Mun still did not really want to take up the job as it may spoil his reputation. He was trying to figure out a nice and kind way to tell her when he noticed that she has strolled out of his matchmaking shop (which is located in Orchard Road, because he is a very successful man) He followed her, reasons for even unknown to himself. This was when he saw her helping an old lady jay walk across the busy roads of Orchard road. And he thought to himself, "OMG, This girl has a heart of gold!"

From then on, he changed his mind and decided to help Esther in her marriage challenge. He was determined to help her overcome all obstacles. After all, he is the most famous Master Wai Mun from Orchard Road!

Well, as for her first date, as much as her heart is made of gold, her date did not really go very smoothly, and as for the reasons why, I guess there's not much to say. The male recipient was simply too turned off by her monstrous looks.

After the date, just when she was losing hope in herself, she had to fall into a deep drain. She becomes more hopeless by the minute. How unlucky can she get? She screamed and screamed for help, but by-passers normally shun out of the way on hearing her out-of-tune voice.

Just when she was about to give up, she saw a rope lowering down into the deep drain. Relieved, she climbed up the rope quickly, anxious to see her benefactor. And alas, who was it but Wai Mun! It's just like the saying, "缘分可遇不可求". The Chinese are really so profound in their language!

All of a sudden, she could sense the electrical vibes travelling in between Wai Mun and her eyes. And Esther the Ugly suddenly realised....

So this is LOVE!

And Wai Mun too, realised that in LOVE, looks really do not matter. No matter how ugly Esther could have looked before, he found out that she is really a pretty thing right now. He leaned forward and gave her a peck on her cheek. All of a sudden, magical yellow sparks flew around and spinned themselves around Wai Mun. And alas, Wai Mun turned ugly too! This is how he looked like after he transformed:

《好校长》
作者：潘星华

（2009-06-13）

小依：

　　做新闻记者跑教育线超过20年，和我工作最密切的是各校校长，从小学到大学，不少，已经成了好朋友。

　　华人常说：“不怕不识货，只怕货比货。”西方人又说：“要橙和橙比，苹果和苹果比，不能橙和苹果比。”做新加坡人最好，东西文化交融兼备；做记者更好，有无数人可以比，有无数校长可以比。而且，因为长期在教育线，“路遥知马力，日久见人心”，我可以有很长的时间去看一位校长，凡我认为是好校长的，一般不会看走眼。因为，他们是经过无数比较后，而且是同类比较，被证明是最好的。

　　去年在“华校校史联合展”的活动“校长论坛”上面演讲的五位校长：圣尼各拉女校前校长李宝丝、华侨中学前校长杜辉生、南洋初级学院院长郭毓川、道南学校校长陈俊敬、德明政府中学校长孙振炜，都在我的校长名单，名列前茅。

　　过去几天，我在为八方文化创作室把五位校长在校长论坛上的讲话，结为一本名为《华校发展的回顾与前瞻》的书，做文字润饰和校对工作。他们的讲话，让优秀校长的身影，再一次跳到我的眼前。

　　其中，杜辉生校长与孙振炜校长的“交锋”，尤其令我难忘。

　　杜辉生是率领华侨中学从上世纪七十年代的风雨飘摇到九十年代能与莱佛士书院平起平坐的英雄。他对一代华校生把自己不如意的日子，归咎于华文的态度，不敢苟同。他说：“我们要感恩。如果今天办得火火红红的特选学校，没有当年那个局势，那样的处境，如果一切都是一帆风顺的话，我们没有今天。”

　　他因此对华中的未来有所期待。他公开要求德明政府中学的孙振炜校长“加把劲”，给华中一点压力，“让华中不断提升，创造双赢的局面”。

　　孙振炜虽然年轻（38岁），面对前辈（70岁）的挑战，极有技巧。

他说：“北京奥运会前，我去中国，看到一个很大的广告牌。画面是一个非洲籍的短跑选手，上面写着英文标语。我对这个广告标语为什么用英文写，感到奇怪。在中国看到的英文广告，通常错别字蛮多，但是那个没有。那个广告标语说“The person to beat is not the one in front but the one inside.”“要超越的人不在前面，而是在里面”。这正是德明办学的理念。如果有一天，我们真的超越华中，那是我们努力的结果，但不是我们努力的目的。”

　　社会景象，经常让孙振炜感觉“在繁华中感到空虚，在朴实中觉得幸福”。他说：“身为德明校长，我认为学校不需要越办越大，越办越堂皇，可是必须越办越好，越办越温馨，越办越像一个家。”

　　他用这样的话，回应杜辉生的期待。什么是好校长？这就是！
