Midway through the 1 week break...
Went a-hunting for my workplace yesterday.
It's quite a distance walking from cityhall.
If it rains, um, I'm screwed.
The lift's abit scary, haha. It's a big jolt before ascending, ditto for descending.
Quite a few eateries nearby. I hope I won't succumb to temptation.
Took a little trip inside MINT-museum of toys and saw the likes of popeye/felix the cat and betty boop.
Thereafter, proceeded to AMK hub (third time this week) to buy packed dinner. and got my aunt to have a look at the bag I was looking at the day before.
Before that, she said she couldn't trust me to do my own purchases because she claims I have a weird eye for stuffs, and a few buys I did alone in the past supported her claim.
I protested. There WERE a few decent buys, like my black heels. >.<
Anyway, my latest catch got the green light =) so yay! I now have a bag. I hope it lasts way longer than the last one I got from HongKong.
I guess I'm half, if not fully prepared, for attachment.
Except to read through the audit notes, and a haircut. Haha!

25/8
Jeremy's 21st b'day celebration. I've never been to a 21st, and I'd say it was quite an experience having dinner at the void deck facing the road. Even though the bday boy's place is just a stone's throw away, I got a curfew. >.<
For details, refer to Steph's blog =)
If you're feeling lazy, I'd say just click on that darn link and feast your eyes on those pretty pretty cupcakes!
It got me thinking how I'd celebrate MY 21st. But, that would be too much of "thinking-ahead" to do, so I gave up. I should be thinking about my 19th first. Which reminds me; I haven't retake that BTT! -faints-
My mum's been asking about it. And uh, I asked, "If I fail again, how?!"
"Very lao kui (embarrassing in hokkien) leh. Where got people take BTT so many times one?"
Trust my mum to be so tactless. Ya people, meet Mrs Soon! Haha.
Aiya, that's my mum la. All my friends who've met her thinks she's an interesting woman. She's young at heart, very. And uh, much less conservative and certainly more open than I am.
Haha.
27/8
Many events lined up for today. Went to the temple in the morning to ji bai the ancestors, and proceeded to watch 881 with Mrs Soon/aunt/gramps. We haven't all stepped into the movie theatres since a longlong time ago (I believe the last movie we watched together was HP & the soceror's stone). It was a movie experience vastly different from the rest, because:
1) the elderly made up the majority of the audience
2) the cellphones just went off more frequently (no one really bothered with switching it all to the 'silent mode')
Thereafter, dinner at Sakae! =) Salmon sashimi Salmon sashimi Salmon sashimi!!!
28/8
Met up with Carol yesterday for a KBox session. My aunt hurried me on and attempted to chase me out of the house because she thought I'd be late. I said, "I think my junior will be late la. I remember giving her morning calls." My prediction was spot-on. Hehe. Nothing much changed eh Carol? Okok, too much details. No hard feelings =)
So the latecomer *ahem* was nasty, albeit apologetic, and took pleasure in telling me I haven't grown much and got quite ecstatic and reveled in her "I'm-still-taller-than-you moment". Ugh.
She was a mess. She realised that the buttons on the remote were glowinthedark after I switched off the lights, and then complained that she couldn't see the buttons on the remote because I switched off the lights. AHHH, what nonsense. I almost died singing because this woman fiddled with the remote and in 1 song, I had to switch singing in about 3 to 4 keys. It was a real test of my vocals because one moment we went really low, and the other, we sounded like strangulated mice. I think the mikes couldn't take it as well because after a while, 1 of the pair turned a little faulty.
Well, she whipped out her ZEN (I have an identical one as well) and did a few recordings. >.< songs =")
Well, then, I've got a few more days before attachment starts. =x
I so need to grow up.
I read some other blogs just minutes ago.
And then it appears to me that my writing sucks, like now.
-eeks
Spruced up my room, and messed it up again working on a collage. The collage sucks too btw.
There are times when I feel lousy and worthless. And I forget that I'm only human, and that we all make mistakes. Well, as long as I don't kill/steal, I think I'll be fine, right?
I'm thinking that we're all growing up, FAST. It scares me, a little, but it can't work any other way can it? So GROW UP YZ.
post exams
HI!
It's been a while.
Done with the papers. BAD, and it'll suffice to say that I'll be praying pretty hard for a pass for all my modules.
There's a little time to rest just before attachment starts.
During this little break, I want to:
-read HP & the Deathly Hallows
-go K!
-watch movies
-catch up with friends over coffee/tea/cakes
-check out routes to the workplace
-lose some weight (cuz I ate lots of junk food while mugging)
-go cycling =)
-read some 柯南 (cuz I'm still at the 13th/14th book and my brother's done with all the 50+ books we have in the collection)
& do all the other things I thought of doing but can't recall now.
Now that there's time to catch up on all the teevee, there's NO desperate housewives, NO honour/passion. Aiights.
I'll need to clear the files and folders on my laptop someday. LAGLAGLAG, and I'm screwed if I really need it for work. I'll promise not to overload you with too many files/folders. You can get that golden handshake once I'm done with school. Hang in there~
I'm 73% Bumblebee.
As an Autobot spy, Bumblebee is the ultimate robot in disguise. What he lacks in size and strength, he makes up for with courage. He enjoys the company of humans and would do anything for his Earthly friends.
Like Bumblebee, you are good by nature. But beware because mischievous thoughts sometimes tempt you. You want to be a leader and show some promise, but you have much to learn. In addition, you stick to the basics and don't need all the encumberances of modern technology.

EXAMS make me hysterical
It's tomorrow!!!
>.<
omg.
very scared.
Was at friendster browsing through friends' photos and I saw wedding photos of one instead.
Being married at 19 is not all unusual. But if that's your pri.sch friend you see kissing her man under that veil, it's a bit of a shocker ain't it?
For the record, she did look the part of a radiant bride.
It was only about a year ago I saw her out with her girlfriends shopping at Far East. And she's now someone else's wife!
Anyway, I thought this year's NDP was pretty refreshing.
Did look a tad bit like those stunt performances with the high speed manoeuvres by the marine crafts from the Navy and PCGs. But it was cool. =D
Saw the skaters fell a couple of times though. And I thought I saw a friend in the perc perf by Batucada...
Everytime they showed shots of past NDPs, they never failed to remind me that my mum (or was it my aunt?) was one of those NPCC cadets marching in that WET NDP.
She never fails to ask me to consider joining the navy/airforce/police force everytime a letter of that sort finds their way into my mailbox. =.=
Doubt I can pass NAPFA this year even. Haha!

Recent spate of events brought on the "damn! growing-up-and-not-that-young-anymore" thought.
One distinctive one is, of course, getting that attachment letter. God knows how many sweating palms and pounding hearts there were just tearing off that one envelope that'd have partly decided how you were going to spend that last semester in the near future.
You know you can't just fool around, and expect people to make things right thereafter; that you'd probably have more difficulty looking for seats for lunch; that you would be, (or maybe, are already) visiting
G-2-thousand more than
seventy-seventh st. or sth...
And when at lunch, people are already making plans to visit clubs/pubs for booze after work.
Ok. If you decide that THAT jolt isn't apparent enough. Wait till you hear
this.
You see a friend come online way past 12 midnight. You ask "why are you so late?" and she says "I just got home."
You happily (or naively) thinks it's because of work, and she tells you it's because she'd been at someone's house
making out.
Uh, how do I put this?
So these days, making out's probably nothing, not that I've tried. But it certainly left me slightly startled, to have that smacked in my face. Maybe it came as a rude shock BECAUSE I haven't tried. It might have been different if I'd a similar experience.
And, I haven't expected to hear stuffs like that from friends.
I hear some teacher/principle screaming into the mike since 9 this morning, probably some school's National Day celebration, and know I'm not part of it.
I guess I need to, what they call, "wake up my idea"... and GROW UP.
I wonder how much the brain can retain what we've studied.
What I just did for my common tests not too long ago I've already happily threw it all back to where it came from.
So tired. It's like I haven't got proper sleep the whole time this sem. =.=
FOCUS YZ. FOCUS!
arghz............
Where have you been posted to?
The anxiety is killing me.
There must have been about 5 msn windows, all asking me about attachment, no doubt.
PWC, E&Y, some other ulu companies...
I think those with letters that wrote "NP" takes the cake.
I still don't know mine. Because mummy's not yet home, and she's the only one with the letter box key.
No mood to do report/vid. Think I'm falling sick soon.
Finally caught Daddy's Daycare on channel 5 just now. I remember wanting to watch it badly 4 years ago, but ended up watching Lara Croft, which wasn't all that bad either. I knew I would have enjoyed Daddy's better, and I did!
Haha. Shows with toddlers are CUTE! I know my grandma enjoyed watching it too! ;)
I'm like a
kanchiong spider now, if that's what they call it. Come home quick Mummy!!!
Ta-da!

I like to - watch tv.

My favourite part of my body is - uh, skip. (I don't know la!)
If I could fix one part of my human body - nothing. I'm pretty comfortable the way I am now, I think. =)
I hate - people who are rude. Period.
If I could date a female celebrity/singer, I would date - Kit Chan, and get her to sing to me everyday =x

I’m attracted to - whatever appears to be attractive at that point.
I hate it - when people command/order me to do something.
I prefer to sleep - on my left side.
6 persons chosen to do this are:
Any 6 who're interested.
Can't get down to doing CLaw tutorial. So I'd thought I would do the thingy above.
I'm a really indecisive individual. My bad. My auntie always say, "Then next time ask you to choose your husband, also ask people to help you choose la."
Haha.
Need to get rid of this bad trait. There are so many bad traits I shan't even attempt to list it all out here, because I think the list wil be a long one. Heh.
Yingying Shu Juan me Shu Juan's friend Stephie
Last I heard, this photo's submitted for class photos for graduation. Just Great. =x Thing is, we hail from THREE different classes... Haha.
um...
Last project presentation, in poly, today =D Well, I'd say it's interesting how this last project's only worth 10 marks, whereas in other projects it's like 50 or 60 marks. But 10 marks = 10% of that module, so for every 1 mark you get for the project, it's 1% of the module, so I guess it's pretty important as well.
Most importantly, I would not have to work with that someone anymore. Alright, so maybe I had been really mean saying that I do not want her as a friend (I didn't tell her that in her face la...ok, I bitched.).
Maybe she'll make a good friend, but definitely not a good project mate.
So there's still this video which needs editing, and someone else is about to diss me off again. Get so easily irritated these days, think I should keep my temper in check.
There's still this 2000 word report not yet done. And I'm stuck...
Anyways, on to happier stuff...
Final test for Aero turned out to be much more manageable than our previous class tests. Highly likely I'll be able to pass Aero =)
The theme for prom is out. Mafia something...forgotten what it's really called, but ya...
Thing is, there's a $40 deposit, and it's at some ulu place near Zouk,
and there're limited places (300 pax?) When you consider that there're like a thousand odd students in the whole of school of BA, and only some 300 can turn up, you kinda just "sian half" right? (if prom's open to everyone else besides ACC) Haha...
The last prom wasn't that bad, because I think Linn was there to constantly remind me about prom after O's. A week before the major exams I remember we were on the phone yakking about prom dresses and gushing over everything in the "prom special" issue of, was it Seventeen or Teens?
Turns out, prom wasn't exactly fantastic (no dance, cuz' no guy partners, haha, and I don't exactly know how to dance either =x) but at least people you KNEW were going. So I suppose it just feels a bit weird with the coming prom. =\
Ok, how do I end this entry?... Feels kinda odd, like it's left hanging.
Last day of July already. omg.
Anyway, something very random.
I miss playing perc. =(
