hello.

i've changed my blog.

ask me if you wnna know the link :)

and YES. i still blog. more regularly now that i realised i HAVE to keep tabs on my daily life.

2010-04-02T14:13:00.003+08:00

life is like a chessboard.

one wrong move, and you end up dead.

when you try to be tactful or honest, what you get in return is a shit face.

the world is such a strange place. i don't like it at all.

2010-03-27T14:12:00.004+08:00

went back to vj today, for Majestia. how things have changed, yet remain the same.

the victorian anthem, the victorian cheer, chants for full day.. its like just yesterday when we last played Third Symphony.

But then the conductor has changed (BIG SIGH), new faces all around, at least theres still a handful of alumni which i havent seen for ages yet can still talk to like we never parted.

blast to the past. tho it looks like ive grown fatter, and everyone else slimmer.

gosh this is getting old. im getting old. >.<

and as the old me speaks, i should stop slacking online and start making my prototype for next week. stupid hell week no. 2, URGH.

by the way, my online portfolio is up and running! :)) love the current layout, its so clean. but i am sure i'll get tired of it soon. hahahaa.

its 2010!

2010-01-03T14:54:00.001+08:00

oh! here's my 2010 resolutions.

1) on top of my list is to become more healthy. my hospitalisation was not life threatening but bad enough to shake me to my senses. plus the fact it made me have to postpone everything including exams, and not being able to go out during the hols.. so i'm going to change my diet drastically (so i can shake off the fats too hahhaa) and exercise more!

2) save money. ive been going up and down the broke ladder, and it has always been "im broke" or "im VERY broke". need to start saving much much so that i have money for SEP (if i can make it), money for driving (ya i shall start really soon), and basically just money for the future (if someone just ends up becoming a big fat bum)

3) u want me to say something abt ID? sorry, nothing. no resolutions. i just prefer to keep it all in and discover slowly along the way. nothing's for certain, nothing to talk about. for all u know i might transfer to engine. LOL. eh. i was kidding -.-

basically all the other resolutions are just small reminders i tell myself. complain less, appreciate more.

and i'm going to become 21 this year o.o that's like old. damn. but not before most of my peers get there. :D

i want my void deck sessions!!! >.<

2009-06-25T05:37:00.000+08:00

talk to me people. im gonna be bored for the next few days. very very bored.

2009-06-11T01:56:00.003+08:00

okay more than one month has passed since my last update. its either i have nothing to talk about (ie nothing interesting in my life) or i have nothing to talk about.

who wants to hear about my boring life anyway!

just for the sake of keeping this blog just a little alive more longer, here's some random stuff which happened the past month.

got back results. judging from the way i did my projects last sem (changing ideas at the last minute) i guess its more than i had wished for. better start to be more serious next sem cos i dun think i will be that lucky again.
supposedly was going to thailand to build a hall, but because of circumstances which always seem to occur everytime i go overseas, i am now still in sg.
first waitressing job- and was dumped with the chinese wedding banquet (those kind which have about 8 courses). -.- for a beginner, that was tough. the only fun part i guess was seeing the solemnization ceremony taking place... awwwww i wanna get married too =D
sat on flyer twice- one in the day and one at night. DAY'S BETTER.
started going to the gym. yay me.
went to a gay club, almost got drunk, but cool experience watching gays dancing.
new phone- i call it WHITE CHIP MACADEMIA NUT COOKIE. cos its white, and its LG Cookie. ha ha ha. and my fave subway cookie is the abovementioned.
and today's 10th of June, also 10th month. the most eventful thing which happened today was showering my hamster. moo says loolie looks like a cockroach when she's wet. -.-

oh and i was listening to Collin Ray's Love Me, yea super old school i know but the lyrics are just so touching!

its time for my blog to undergo some facelift.

to take things one step at a time -for now, be happy for the present instead of worry for the future.

i love my stupid furry snorlax.

2009-05-07T19:29:00.003+08:00

HELLO WORLD.

congrats to VJCSB for the most avant garde performance this syf. they really pulled it off very very very effectively. there's bound to be a like-hate feeling for abstract impressionistic music after all. super proud of them for being so daring and outstanding. =) makes me miss the times there but oh well.

sem 2's over, no longer a freshie!

2009-03-23T01:16:00.002+08:00

i opened a fortune cookie on monday (thanks to silvia's free stash of 7-11 ones):
don't turn down any social gatherings. it'll do u good.
or sth along that line.

oh wells. i didnt plan any, it just sort of fell within this week. and good timing too, cos this whole weekend i allowed myself to slack, a well deserved rest before going back to work again. >.<

anyway! first it was meetup with mieo and talk crap, didnt know we had so much crap to talk about after not seeing each other for how many months hhaha. tried to do some shopping, ended with mieo buying some really outdated fashion (haha!) and me joining in cos it was 2 for $40. -.- then it was back to crap and gossip.

then after that it was supposed dinner with camwarriors (minus chiku for reasons known later, and zr who's MIA). jappp food!!! gosh it feels good once in a while to enjoy when you aren't broke.

and we finally got to nus high to watch chiku's first ever dance performance after tt. doesnt sound like much of a day, but it was stress-less! that reminds me now that i haven't touched my handle project =(

this shot was really funny, cos there was an ulterior motive of getting someone in the background into focus for gay friend.

and me and chiku, whom ive not seen for idk how freaking long. tsktsk.

whee!

fun for a day. and today i slept so much, i could almost compete with moo already. ^^

2009-03-12T01:42:00.003+08:00

So today was the STOOL.

worked on it for 8 weeks or so, changed design and full scale prototypes for at least 3 times, finally coming up with my final design the day before crit.

happy to say i love my stool! =)

still in white marshmallow form, will be doing it in fibreglass during hols SOON! =))

I just love the day of crits.
Everybody looks tired but happy, finally that the project is OVER.
this crit's different tho, we paraded our stools in the carpark.

ID yr 1s sitting on white marshmallow stools yay!

2009-02-18T23:54:00.002+08:00

the move into kuok couldnt have been more timely, now that i have so much work to do and its so much more convenient. but its lonely. i miss my family. i miss my bed. i miss everything at home. and i get emo at nights too just thinking about it. =(

cos its so much work, i miss you too.

2009-02-09T23:30:00.003+08:00

am i happy?

when all is down and bleak and tired and lonely
friends pull you out of that hole just by being there.

btw today's crit wasn't that bad! 3 projects at one shot- survived it. after days of slogging, bedtime of earliest 3am, and some horrible moments, its starting to look up. a short breather for a few more hours before its chiong time again!

2009-01-25T23:45:00.004+08:00

happy cny, y'all. :)

ran across one of my ex-vj classmate's MV, 对错.

its really well done, when i first saw it i didnt even know it was his duo, 七月雪 who entirely composed, arranged and performed this song. o.O his singing has been breath-taking even during the jc days- its even better in real life!
more of their songs can be found on their myspace site,

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=409565703
(fyi i wasnt asked to advertise this, i just felt it was really really good)

its really inspiring when you know someone who has succeeded in excelling in something he loves doing.

2009-01-18T22:51:00.008+08:00

look- floating sheep!

and this is what they're actually called:
Moo stools, hmmm. i don't actually see any spots.

designer intention? maybe its to make you think again what a cow/ sheep is.

and sketches for dinner, first time eating there. spammed all the meat and expensive toppings and the pasta with cheese inside was WOAHH.

and today my auntie treated us to ichiban boshi in velocity. food range from $17 to $25 over, but SUPER ALOT. like this:
got rice, tofu, chawanmushi, fresh scallops, soft shell crab and vegetable miso soup ALL for $19! Super good food i was the last to finish eating cos was enjoying everything :D good food doesnt come often okay.

and the scallops are so big! supposed to cook first before eating but i ate one accidentally >.<

and i didnt go against my eat cheap resolve okay. one was a treat, the other was a special occasion.

2009-01-12T23:00:00.003+08:00

A notice to all Christina's friends:
please do not ask Christina ever, to
1) eat at Macs, she'd rather go hungry.
2) eat at any place costing over 5 bucks a meal.
3) eat at MUNCHY MONKEYS. Ha ha.
this does not apply to special occasions which Christina will consider and deem fit as such to splurge. Even so, her splurging will not exceed 10 bucks.

From now on, I'm doing my very best to save as much as I can.
In case of any chance in the future i have to elope.
No. Seriously. I'm kidding.
Gone are the days i used to spend blindly on online shopping, shopping. eating at ex restaurants every outing. I have seen the error of my ways (quite long time ago, but the after-effects are quite damaging as it has rendered me broke for many months now)
now i just have to save enough to pay off the stupid debt i have to trusttutor (if im unlucky and cant find anymore students), pay for my daily necessities, and live the simple life.
Oh yea, one more thing. Healthy food and exercise build-up.

Oh, and another thing. survive this semester. Today was quite a o.O to see all those projects in the short span of 12 weeks. But that's ID for you. Isn't that why i'm still here haha.

anyway, Cinderella on Saturday with jon, randall. jon's really really good friend Mr trevor sze was really very nice to pass to us 3 $150 tickets for stall seats. $150!! mind you its just below the $180 for VIP seats. and not only that he wanted to treat us to ichiban (i didnt go hhaa) and send us back (when i got him lost trying to give directions to my house- come on la i don't drive i don't notice where to exit on the CTE!!). such a nice person is hard to come by lor. yes im convinced he's just nice. there's nothing more to it. tehee.

cinderella songs were mediocre, but the singers sang beautifully. lea salonga's vibrato was amazing o.O and the props, stage setup was quite magical too. the comedy portion of the musical was the best though.

and all around us were tai tais and rich looking people. of course if they could afford $150 tickets for a 2.5hr show (i'd rather SAVE IT). and there were quite a few kids as well, who were really well behaved and didnt talk at all during the show even though they were like 4 or 5 years old? i so badly wanted to take out my camera to take photos but there was the lighting crew behind. =( and anyway all the richies all around me would straightaway stare at me like i never experienced this before like they have so many countless times- yea i never so what?)

kay. im cranky and still have not done any stool. please pardon me.

2009-01-04T22:59:00.003+08:00

when you see this: (minus the big blob at the bottom)

and you see this:

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!
hahahahhaha.

edit: whoops, the 1st pic is by some famous designer. >.< cannot talk bad. hahahaa later he come haunt me o.O

2008-12-30T20:53:00.002+08:00

bye 2008!
it was a good year. =)

2008-12-27T20:49:00.004+08:00

grumpy old scrooge for christmas.

what. grumpy lor.

i be grumpy hag for once cannot isit.

you go have your christmas week destroyed too then see who talk.

bleah.

2008-12-24T23:09:00.003+08:00

went to my aunt's house to celebrate christmas today. the feeling of christmas- since young, hanging up ornaments on the christmas tree, waiting anxiously for presents to magically appear, keeping awake so that i could hear santa claus coming....
i could even remember one incident where my mum just put in candies in our stockings little by little- at 7am, i checked it, and at 9am, i checked it again and my stocking was fuller. i remember being really awed by this 'magical' happening when it was just because my mum just happened to open that packet of candies at that time to put in.
i remember us kids waiting anxiously around the christmas tree, waiting for the adults to announce present time- then we could run over to check who got the biggest present, but i just wanted something soft (i was infatuated with soft toys okay!)
and i remember fighting with my mum over which mass to go to, i kept wanting to go for the midnight one because for some reason i felt an undescribable feeling, what you would call the Christmas Spirit.
but i remember, the wonderful feeling when everyone gathered together to celebrate christmas together.

and now even as i am older and things are different, its still special.
because no matter what, i believe.

2008-12-23T19:08:00.007+08:00

woke up happy.

by mid afternoon it was back.

time to grow up.

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

2008-12-22T16:26:00.003+08:00

getting sick just before christmas is sickening.
if last week's cough + flu wasnt bad enough, this week's high fever + diahorrhea sure makes up for it. >.<
not being able to do anything but sleep, eat, sleep.
not being able to go out.
giddiness.
I sure forgot how getting sick feels like, since the last time i fell properly sick was just after foc where i had to miss the union camp.
thanks for reminding me.

note to myself to get well BEFORE christmas eve (which is like 2 days time) so i can at least properly enjoy christmas.

2008-12-13T15:39:00.002+08:00

yesterday was NSSN. the main reason why i went was cos it was Mr Tan's last concert with VJCSB. then when i saw like 10 over seniors and many more juniors ( those who just graduated) come back to support and there was only a measly 3/4 of us from 06-07 batch (2 playing in alumni, 2 as audience).

but still im thankful i went. when was the last time you had some who could inspire you, guide you to improve by leaps and bounds, be a friend to you yet is someone whom you deeply respect? To the current bandmembers who gave a touching tribute to Mr Tan at the finale of the concert, thanks for voicing out what i believe all batches under him would want to say to him.

Because of Mr Tan i have begun to understand music a notch above average understanding- I have travelled a lot since the time i graduated from SNSB to the time i graduated from VJCSB.

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

anways sizzler treat from moo love you laaa =) eat until stomach wanna explode. =/ and wednesday was sentosa outing organised by alan, but ended up having the december stoning blues (same as the kayaking plus night cycling day) where we had a prolonged period of time undecided over what to do next. lol.

have to do work soonnnnnnnn. you know i was wondering what if i go along with the concept of supernormal. then for my new project, my stool will look something like this:

HA HA HA. I wish. Where got life so easy de. -.-

2008-12-08T16:04:00.002+08:00

How you know Christmas is coming:
1) Shops in orchard start inventing new types of christmas trees.
candycane tree made of 129308409895342 scary bears rOrarrrrr.

2) everyone starts wasting power on unneccessary christmas lighting.

its PRETTY! (byebye environment)

3) people get reminded of cute presents they received when they were little, innocent, bluffable sec 3s.

4) friends meet up and catch up on days gone by ^^

anyway finally got something that has been stalking my wishlist for DAMN LONG (like since sec4 or sth?) TATTY TEDDYYYYYYYYYYYYY yay! eating a green pea (the peas can really be squeezed out heehee probably another useless but cute invention by either minitoons or actioncity haha)

but the tatty teddy is really damnmnmnmnmn cuteeeeeeee yay thanksssyouuu yonghan sorry for all the niaoings heheheh. its a fair world. =)

2008-12-04T00:15:00.003+08:00

long overdue birthday post ><>.<
pain and confusion, which taught me to grow.
getting into a course so different from the usual studying, finally finding my path.
and being in love, its undescribable.

this time last year, i was fresh from post A's, unsure of my future.
in the period of time in between then and when i started university i can say that i have had a really fruitful 9 months, though i kind of slacked my way through 'odd jobs' and not doing what other people were doing.
yet i learned more things than i could have asked for, something which might not have been possible if i worked from 9 to 5 every freaking day and having no energy but to sleep at the end, cycle repeating.
by changing jobs, i exposed myself to different scopes and narrowed down what i really wanted to do.
the fragility of a relationship, and finding true friends which stand by you, just helping you to pass through the painful heartbreak.

what i learnt in these 9 months is not much compared to what faces me now, its like all over again when a baby learns to walk, as i am, taking one tiny step at a time into the adult world. Still a kid. But a kid who has greater understanding over what she is doing. To learn to be more caring, more compromising, less hasty, more aware, more independent, more responsible- it's easier said than done. Guess this is my journey on the way to self-discovery.

And to my family, friends and loved one who is part of my life- i couldnt have asked for better. =)

this is one of my rare long posts woahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

2008-11-30T01:14:00.000+08:00

i am certified a screwed up nutcase.

2008-11-26T20:32:00.002+08:00

yay 2 papers over! 1 left to go!

so happy....

but i lost my phone on the way home T.T

why do i always lose my phone on happy occasions? the last time was during SYF, when we got gold with honours. zzzzz.

2008-11-17T01:42:00.003+08:00

MUGGING TIME WOOTS
end of all the projects and assignments and now its back to familiar old mugging wahahha
ponned like a whole 10 lectures (which i'd very most certainly probably fall asleep in due to my inability to stay still in a chair for more than 30mins without having droopy lids) for my mech engine module and chionging all the webcasts in 3 days before my 50mcq-in-30min test on tues. 2 more to go! =) yay

at least im surviving it better than last year when i was freaking my guts out. (esp for econs omg)
for now.
hear me speak again when im studying for ar1221 ha.

some random pics this week:

my future house =))

ugly doll! random creation hahaha

this entry is crap.
oh, i MIGHT go play dota someday. (OMG how nice am i)

2008-11-08T01:00:00.005+08:00

SCARY BEAR (or moo) PART II

says, "piKA!"

TODAY IS A HAPPY DAY-- I survived KILLER WEEK!
finished egg project and buttons (finally after 1mth plus!)

concept of my buttons was of how chinese calligraphy ink is painted on the paper by a brush ie. A push produces a 'dian', a slide produces a 'shu' and a turn produces a 'pie'. hence the actions you have to do to the buttons.

this project took me 1mth ++, sliced fingers and fingernails, weeks of headaches and quite a few sleepless nights.

Proud to say it looks like chinchow/excavation bones/slugs, not calligraphy. and it WORKS pretty cutely too :))

and this is my group's egg project

looks like a bunch of hexagonal coffins hahaha

2008-10-25T21:38:00.003+08:00

the scary bear says RAWWWRRRR.

Health respiratory/ lung problems or problems with the heart (must be foam!)
prone to laziness
i'm very empathetic and give good advice. born listener,"tian yi"(or heaven doctor)
very KAYPOH. split personality.

2008-10-02T16:33:00.005+08:00

did this from 12am to 8am, took so long cos i ended up stoning from 4 to 6am trying to think of my other 2 concepts. Funny, i don't feel very tired leh. must be getting used to ID life hahaha.

My first concept (when i was on the MRT and suddenly saw chinese words on those information signs hahahaha).

design sucks, but i like my concept. The action on each button is a reflection on how each stroke is made by the calligraphy brush. Like how the 'dian' is formed when the brush does a slight pushing action on the paper etc etc. The tutors are interested in my concept and how the buttons will turn out(aka to see whether i'll die or not.)

And the other 2 concepts were rushed out at 6-8am cos i spent the MOST time on my first concept, happily doing rubbish prototypes and drawing my pics nice nice.

shaded the pics using copic marker, a first discovery of the copic's usefulness. now, it's my favourite marker of all time! =))))

2008-09-29T22:58:00.004+08:00

if i die before graduation, here's why:

PINK MARSHMALLOWS!
riiiiiggggggghht. its pink styrofoam. and everytime its filed or sanded, TOXIC (!!!) miniscule particles fly into the air and floats evilly around until they get dissolved into your bloodstream. ID studio has gazillions of them now.
did this during recess week. recess? what recess?
at least i don't have to study for midterms (or what not) WHEEEE.

anyway! sent off mister yeo zhiren bird last last sundayyy. lucky lucky he's going to australia! When he becomes a pilot we get to eat jumbo YAY! ^^
me, jiahui, yonghan, zhiren! looks like we're going off to hk again! =/
byebyeee zr, one less active camwarrior FASTER COME BACK OK!=(

2008-09-29T01:48:00.002+08:00

WOOTS im backkkkkk!!!

shall be slowly pasting all my previous entries in lj back here, please be patient cos ive got lots to do. ><

2008-09-21T22:22:00.000+08:00

homily today was in all a very meaningful one considering how far apart i've been lately from Him.

A dad comes home very late from work, a common scenario everyday.His kid, waiting eagerly for his return, rushes to meet him upon hearing the door open.

Kid: "Daddy, Daddy!"

Dad: "Son, what are you doing up so late! You should be in bed!"

Kid: "Daddy, I want to ask you a question."

Dad (slightly irritated due to fatigue): "Yes what is it? Hurry up!"

Kid:"Daddy how much do you earn working an hour?"

Dad:"I earn 20 dollars an hour."

Kid looks disappointed, head bending low.

Dad(getting impatient):"What is it now?!"

Kid: "Daddy can I borrow ten dollars from you?"

Dad(cranky): "You and your stupid toys! Stop wasting my money and go to bed!"

Kid shuffles off to bed silently.

A while later the dad feels bad about shouting at his boy and goes into the bedroom to place a ten dollar note into his son's hand.

Dad:"Here son, take this ten dollar note. Now off to bed."

The kid's eyes brighten up. Hand tightly grasping the crisp ten dollar bill, he reaches under his pillow and pulls out a crumpled ten dollar bill. Passing it to his dad, he says: "Here's 20 dollars, Daddy. Now I can buy one hour of your time!"

Abstract is an excuse for meaninglessness.

camp ice breakers are meant to be fun and stress relieving.
especially stupid ones like making the tallest structure using only the given materials.

now game rules, visualise:
- you only can use paper of printer paper thickness or less to make a 2.2m TALL tower
- you construct a tower to symbolically represent one of the 4 houses of Hogwarts in Harry Potty (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin)
-Literal or figurative towers will be penalised (they want ABSTRACT.)

and let the games begin!

our initial idea prototype- REJECTED cos it was too figurative.

our paper-stick internal scaffolding!

Games process: CONSTRUCTION from SUNDAY 12PM ~ MONDAY 1AM (plus 2 weeks worth of initial discussions)
our chosen house: SLYTHERINN (the evil snake-ish scary house)

AND THIS IS OUR BABY! NAME: ZUA (decipher the meaning behind the name)

doesn't it look like a scary, giant, 2.3m... cockroach? honestly we didnt mean for it to turn out that way =( i hate cockroaches.
proud to say it is still standing.... after 2 days and counting!
Theres a meaning behind every fold and curve. ABSTRACT.

WIZARD TOWERS... END!

now we're playing with tamagotchi buttons. ><

sunburns and acres everywhere.

our sky on friday wasnt as nice as the sky on labour day. ohwells. at least it was more cloudy to shield off the sun's harmful skin-cancerous rays.
32km, ecp to changi village and back. 5 hrs cos we took so long to enjoy the scenery, the suntanning and the eating!

and after that smelly us left for marina to watch KUNGFU PANDA! which is super cute and funny and happy! i totally went against my "no cartoons in cinemas" rule, especially on a freaking hefty ticket priced friday. but it was worth it cos Po is so cute cute cute :)

STATION 1: BEDOK JETTY!
see the city skyline from here! and singapore flyer too :)) if only it werent so cloudy.

STATION 2: THE BOUGANVILLEA GARDEN!

and see all the pretty pretty flowers!

STATION 3: THE ULU ULU ROCKY PENINSULA THINGY
where we did our 5 planes worth of suntanning aka we waited for 5 planes to pass

me and my feet... and my photoshopped right toe! HAH BET U DIDNT NOTICE!

awwwww they got so sad after suntanning. hahahhaha.

STATION 4: CHANGI VILLAGE!

hahaha look at the food! i look like a greedy pig. XD

STATION 5: ACROSS TEKONG!

2008-06-08T22:10:00.002+08:00

yay to us who turned up for the class outing.
YES WE DID HAVE FUN. (the later part, duh). its like been 12903102948205945 years since i last went to sentosa okay!
add on the rainy cloudy weather to siloso beach, and tada! a one-of-a-kind gathering at sentosa with frisbee-ing and kayaking and yummy drinks+calamari :)
and not forgetting freezing up in vivocity the later part of the night when we were dinner-ing cos SOME IDIOT CAUSED ANOTHER IDIOT to throw my poor slippers into the sea and i had to pathetically wade in all the way to get them, THEREFORE having to wait for the water infesting my clothes to slowly evaporate into the already water vapour-saturated air.

Thanks Thanks.
OH AND I SAW BALLERINA WONG OMG HE TOTALLY RECOGNISED ME LA. o.O HOW IN THE WORLD IS THAT POSSIBLE?!

thats me on the extreme right. thats my new fave drink :))

HAHA u must must commend my phototaking skills it so rocks.

JAMES OMG HAHAHA.

US who were left.

and that ends class gathering 070608 yay!

2008-05-22T15:22:00.000+08:00

VJCSB concert was a blast! juniors did an amazingly fantabulous job given the scary repertoire! <3 starwars esp :))most of the time was spent at the lounge backstage (with comfy sofas too!) watching the 'big-screen' tv which was broadcasting the concert.sound was crystal-clear though, i could hear even the percussionists walking about in between movements of star-wars. LOL nice sound effects.luxury for $0. heh-heh.
quite a memorable concert for me given it was the first time playing with an alumni of a band of some sort (like sngs has any like that zzz) AND.the fact that i was playing ALTO SAX. oh oh oh the betrayal!but solo-ing in esplanade was an experience never to forget even though i just had to squeak a countless amount of times. BLEAH.
1 177155 4.
i miss being in VJCSB AHHH!

suddenly i feel like going to sentosa. :)

2008-05-01T23:45:00.000+08:00

may day!
1 yr ago, Mr Tan said "Labour Day is a day to work". so we went for band prac.
this year is no different, heard he said the same thing. LOL.

just that we weren't there to prac.

and courtesy from yh we were reminded of this day 1 year ago where we did major camwhoring at ecp.
so we tried to do it again this year, though rather unsuccessfully cos we decided to do sth more fun instead! =))

cycled all the way (well almost) to changi airport! almost went all the way to changi beach if not for the fact that jon had to leave :(

the skies were so clear and blue today! what a mood booster. :D

too bad we didnt have a cameraman, jon was out of the pic!

jiahui and mee:)

a pair of kites. the kite-flyer was damn pro.

stoning.

my self proclaimed artistic shot. hahahaha.

2008-04-26T00:02:00.001+08:00

Proudly brandishing the trait of the typical Singaporean, we seized the opportunity for free entry and drinks into one of the most dynamic hangouts (though located in a preposterously desolate terrain)-zouk, blatantly portraying our innate talents of camera handling, which was previously left to rust and rot under infrequent opportunities to put them to use. This was due to an incurred ennui projected by the lackadaisical Thursday-crowd as well as a vexatiously persistent male who desperately wanted to impart to us his very entertaining life-story.

PARDON MY ATROCITE ENGLISH. (atrocite is a word in my dictionary okay!)

CHRISTINA IS A BLACK PEN'S GREATEST ENEMY WAHAHHAA.

1 day work at NEA (National Envt Agency). More like sit and give out stickers and ask them to go to the 25th floor for a walk-in interview for envt health officers. 200 plus applicants kay no joke. o.O

and that was wat i did from 8.30am to about 4.30pm.

I WAS SO FREAKING BORED SO I STARTED DRAWING IN BLACK INK TO AMUSE MYSELF.

from where i'm sitting. biggg space in front of me. and behind me people were smoking and smoking YUCKS.
hideous drawing anyway, please pardon i was warming up.

THEN CHRISTINA FEELS ABSTRACT.

running machine. don't ask me what's this about. this pic is ULTRA RUBBISH.
no meaning at all hahaha.

some loves in my life. try to find some relations.

eh dun ask me why i drew this okay. it sort of took shape as i drew it.
I DIDNT EVEN WANT IT TO COME OUT LIKE THAT.
something like a love machine with messed up hearts, broken hearts and a place where its fixed together. go figure.
and its incomplete. cos i got to go home yay! :)))

hehs u must be wondering where i got all those paper from.
sticker backings.
my poor pen almost got killed.

AND THAT, MY DEAR FRIENDS, IS WHAT BOREDOM DOES TO YOU.

and after that i had to rush for tuition. i swear that boy really can test my patience. bleahhrhrgh.
ohoh. i went to AWWA yesterday. :) kids there are adorable. but hope they don't pull my hand off the next time i go. haha. :) somemore first time dealing with mentally disabled kids. new experience :D

:))

2008-04-05T22:00:00.003+08:00

dropped by ecp on the way to sch for alumni prac. so long since ive been there really brought back memories of vj and camwarriors and everything. =)

and the not so fun part, alumni prac.
eww gross i sounded worse than a duck. looks like i have to work much much much harder than i initially thought (cos i only tot i'd sound like a duck, not WORSE than that) to attain a reasonably passable tone.

and it was BORING! hope next week one's better. ><

oh remember something? welcome to my superficial blog.

2008-04-04T13:49:00.007+08:00

Resolution for this month:
1) Curb online shopping until bank account exceeds minimum amount.
2) Stop fine dining ARGHHH!
3) Stop calling people since my limit has already exceeded.

SIANNNNNNNNZ. This is what happens when you decide not to get a stable job.
AND plan not to for the rest of the vacation.

SIAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN.

2008-03-19T23:48:00.013+08:00

IM BACK! =)))))

and i brought home with me 400+++ pics, 1 super scandalous video, surprisingly not much new clothes for myself or for the shop, boxes of laopobings, slightly improved (i hope!) chinese plus tons and tons of fun and laughter and piss.

a short summary (tho pics may rep a thousand words, it doesnt do much here cos we had so much more than that. :))

OF SCENERY...

nice pre-sunset cos the sunset couldnt be seen thru the haze :(

The ultra horrid symphony of lights.

At the TOP. :))

OF FOOD...

Our fine dining... That's TUNA!

At the seafood bazaar. Don't remind me. Think of crabs, lobsters, clams and fish.

AND OF CUTE THINGS AND PEOPLE...

it's BRRRBRR COLD at the peak.

taking photos in the MTR. Typical. hahaha.

At Wong Ka Shin Temple. i THINK thats how u spell it.

cute girls with cute pigtails! :))

outside disneyland entrance. my arm looks broken!

AND the COOL FOUNTAIN!

the shopkeeper's at the far left. I spent HK88 there to take a photo of him. -.-

and said HK88 produces the XIAO BOI BOI at the right!

my cuweth bunneyth wabbith! SO CUTE!

Rest will be uploaded to facebook and linked from here. this is only like 1/36 of the pics LEH.

im not going to update more today cos im ultra tired and i have a writing test tmr. which is sort of like GP all over again with an essay and compre, PLUS pri sch cloze passage and some correction of english errors. 3 HOURS. Go figure.

2008-03-11T00:37:00.002+08:00

one last post before DDAY-7th MARCH 2008. which will forever be etched in memory.
DAMMMN.

2 more days with anderson sec! teaching eng/eng lit is really....um..challenging, i'd rather stick to plain old maths and science. i realised my standard of eng drops rapidly when i converse with the class.
like, eg. "EH! WHY SO MUCH PPL TALKING AH!"
and i have to go dig out my old sec 3 notes of formal report writing and factual recounts to teach to the class omgsh.
thats for sec2. imagine sec4.
i shall spare the details of how they verbally torment me.
AND I SEE THEM EVERY FREAKING DAY! YAY!

k la. they're nice ppl. everyone is.

gonna buy my cam during IT fair on thursday! before DDay when i'll have totally no more mood to go anywhere after.

2008-03-02T00:18:00.003+08:00

AHHAA HELLO!

and today went to expo for the natas fair SUPER LOADS OF PPL CAN. heng we went in the morning so didnt have to queue for admission tix :)) yay.

CANT WAIT CANT WAIT.

HAHAHAHAHAAAAA OKAY BYEE.

2008-02-20T00:33:00.002+08:00

2008-02-16T10:44:00.002+08:00

CUTE. :D

2008-02-01T22:45:00.000+08:00

and thus ends my fortnight-long stint at mf.
sad to leave, but most probably a relief to my classes. HAHA.
and learnt tons of stuff during this period.

still wondering whether i should take up the maths-cum-cpa relief teaching in mf, which mostly i just have to walk around making them quiet? I DONT WANNAAAA. seriously, i prefer teaching lahhh.

i cant scold for nuts.

OH. i went back to st nicks today to eat mianxian PLUS orange bowl. XD yay!
den a looonnng ride to city plaza. where we totally just bought stuff for ourselves. lol.
AND then had to go back ALL THE WAY to amk to give tuition.

2008-01-26T14:56:00.000+08:00

START.

this little piggy went to the bus stop
this little piggy saw a 165 but decided to take the next 76 cos she didnt want to cross the overhead bridge
this little piggy waits for 15 mins for 76
this little piggy finally arrives in school. late.
this little piggy tries to pretend she was just in the staffroom doing work so she came down late.
this little piggy passes the attendance book to one of the students cos she was too lazy to mark it.
this little piggy goes for one hour of lesson in electrolysis. EEEEEW.
this little piggy goes back to the staff room and sleeps till 12.
this little piggy waddles off for department meeting. yuck.
this little piggy daydreams while everyone else talks in non-oink-oink terms.
this little piggy tries to escape but to no avail
this little piggy finally turns into a fly and gets swatted away after a droning 1.5 hours.
this little piggy slept all the way home.
this little piggy plays abit of audi and then goes for tuition
this little piggy dozes off 3 times while teaching maths.
this little piggy finally goes home again... and feels much content at being able to earn 100 bucks for sleeping today.

END.

so far mayflower sec has been nice to me :))
tho apparently i made the mistake of wearing some shirt which looked very similar to the one worn by ITE students-- dark navy blue, plus brown (but looked black) pants. so my first day as a teacher was made known as more of a "student from ITE getting lost at mayflower sec". even got stopped by some staff (presumably the OM or something) who wanted to know why i was at mayflower. LOL. oh, i come from ITE. just wanna check out your school.zzz.
but so far the students seem a hell lot nicer than those at peirce, tho the N(A) ones were as noisy, or hecked about the lesson. which i ended up teaching the walls. yay but my fave class is still the sec 5 one. :)) at least they listened to me and asked reasonable questions. HAHA.
and apart from those... weird people... yep mayflower is turning out quite well. XD

lol. i hope i wont change my mind.

2008-01-21T23:08:00.000+08:00

why cant i learn my lesson?!?!not.
it happens over and over again and yet i still can manage to forget it and continue with the same mistake. OVER AND OVER.that.
i know the saying goes "forgive and forget" but seriously this is getting abit extreme.you.

apart from that, now ive narrowed my options and cancelled off engineering which is SO NOT my cup of tea. architecture (if i can even get in after i see my shitty a level results) or arts & social science (which i think i might be quite happy in anyway) are quite fine by me now.care.

can i not get my results back please.

ok time to sleep. im feeling slightly unstable.
~~no one cares to ask about. not that im going to tell .~~

2008-01-19T00:01:00.000+08:00

Things are looking up! :)
but now after this i wonder which direction i should really walk into.
though i know my parents will surely sever me if i walk in the other path, i cant help but wonder whether it is really the right one for me.

BLHEAHHHH.

guess its just a matter of faith. and its many tests.

Anyway today was like job offer day lah hahahah.
morning went to mayflower sec after getting a job as a chem teacher for some of the (AHHH!!) graduating classes.
then at night tuition agency- want to teach p1 eng and chi?
then again awhile later- how bout teaching eng to a sec 1 student frm china?

but i rejected both tho, my grasp of eng isnt that good enough to be able to teach a china student anyway. lol.

oh and went to clarke quay to vist jh during her working hrs on wed. night scene is really really nice, its gna be added to my list of favouritest places in spore. :)

my cosmopolitan drink! assumed it was made by jh. llolol.

this one's nice, tho name's weird. "sex on the beach". -.-

had a sneak at the clinic too...its like damn cool with all those wheelchairs and drips and hospital beds. coool.
and boat rides in spore are WAYYYYYY overpriced. costs almost as much as one drink. zzz.

2008-01-16T00:08:00.000+08:00

Ms. Chin. like, EWWWWWW.
RT at peirce sec was tiring esp in the MORNING. zzzzzzzzzzzz. lol but eye-opener.
tho i'd rather do RT at st nicks.
oh well beggars cant be choosers.

im dead beatttttt.

2008-01-13T23:31:00.000+08:00

my eyes can barely open

but i slept the WHOLE of today. ok, fine. laid on my bed.

dread tomms cos i think i'll look superrr horrible.

at least its solved.

2008-01-12T00:55:00.000+08:00

today was 11 JAN. and i managed to stay home WHEEEEE (tuition not counted).
cos today was the supposed dinner talk at the restaurant which i was supposed to book.
which i spent 12938038409285 hrs trying to find.
so i managed to find it in the end.
but i skipped the event.

plus the powerpoint research thing about public housing too, which i was supposd to compile. TODAY.

YAY i feel like a free bird. :)

hope no one from my company sees this or im dead.

thinking of switching to livejournal, but that means no more self customised blog skins. whaddaya think?

2008-01-10T02:33:00.000+08:00

dont call me a pig anymore ppl! ive found someone more deserving of the title. :)

anyways i think i am like seriously addicted to chawanmushi and salmon nigiri (spelled like that?) sushi. looked like some idiot eating 6 plates of salmon sushi and 2 bowls of chawanmushi. OMG. and it wasnt even buffet. it was ala carte! total was like.... HMMMM. oops =X oh and i tried salmon eggs for the first time today. YUCK.

then yay! assessment book shopping. totally pity kids nowadays, even PRE SCHOOLERS HAVE ASSESSMENT BOOKS CAN U BELIEVE IT! ><>

MY chocolate and coffee icecream with fudge and whipped cream... o.o half eaten but still heavenly nonetheless! LOL :)

lemon sorbet, whipped cream, strawberry drizzles and strawberry ice cream!

and so from an initial plan of sakae and assessment book shopping led to shopping at bugis and vivo. yay, my transport fare. but yay me! i totally didnt shop for anything other than assessment books today, keeping within my resolution to not shop for the next 2 weeks until i get my PAY. lollolol. and we wanted to pop by jh's working place to say hi and, haha, get some drinks on her? pity she wasnt working. :( oh well another time. XD oh no. i forgot to go read up on the moon cycle thing, and the difference between had and has. ARGHHH>>>>>>

oh oh, just a teeny update: my bro started nursery! :)

2008-01-06T00:09:00.000+08:00

christina is feeling........ BROKE.
thats cos she has been going out shopping the past 4 days.
at least there are benefits too.

like not having to fight with the crowd during sales at zara and topshop and the like. SHIOK. :)

and today! camwarriors (EXCEPT MS POKKAI CHIKU TEH who couldnt focus in her new contacts and didnt want to meet us) outing at sakae plus initially planned pool or clubbing (which we all didnt go in the end). went to see the annual vj mass dance during O1 at suntec, too bad we reached too late and they had all finished dancing. blearhgs. reminded me of my own O1, plus last yrs O1 as an ogl which was much more fun. and it was raining too, like O1 2006. AHHHH. i wanna become an ogl again (and miss lessons all over again-i dun mind, really! :D)

and i reached home at 10pm. -.- RAHHH.

woah ive been working like a machine, churning out thing after thing after thing. quite proud of it i must say, so ppl! visit www.swisshearts.blogspot.com! and if im feeling nice i might give u a discount :))

and im a happy girl cos i no longer am employed. (NO, i wasnt fired -.-) researching for history of public housing of singapore and looking for restaurants which are cheap and have private rooms (means going to ulu places) is seriously no joke. now i can set my mind at ease and go search for a less taxing job (hahahahaha) and also concentrate more on the shop.

oh and i want to join some volunteering activities too. my holidays are going to be so packed and i like it. at least enjoy before the A's results come out. o.O

2007-12-27T15:58:00.000+08:00

tanjong pagar, daxton hill, ann siang hill, plus a whole load of other ulu roads id never dream of ever stepping foot on... that was what i did today. and looked for ulu restaurants. after that had to go all the way to bugis to go search for info at the national library. oh but nice thing was the reference section! :)) esp the 11th floor u can see the ferris wheel frm there! i shld have taken a few pics but there was no time. :((((
total i walked nonstop from 1 to 5.30pm, its worse than shopping cos shopping you dont walk nonstop. now my feet have like red marks on them (i shld have worn flipflops to work la!)
and thats not all. i have to go source again tmr, a damnned public holiday. and compile info frm all my research. wheee.
at least my boss was nice enough to lend me ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 VERSION 9.0! :))))))))) yay!

i have decided that all complaining shall commence only after my pay is received.
they cant possibly pay me only 6 bucks per hour.
it cant be!

haha. self deluding, but i hope against hope.

i guess i pretty much made up my mind.

oh friday was nssn day! how time flies i still can remember 2 yrs ago- my first ever nssn when i was a sec 4. o.o and there i was on fri, part of the audience. watching them play. watching the skit. doing the vj cheer and THEN i realised how distant id drifted from vjc, from vjcsb. and its only been a mere 1 month? it seems like a lifetime. oh wells life continues. like going to work. -.-

i am bored. someone please go out with me. (at least someone to take my mind of the remaining days of work.) thank you very much.

2007-12-12T18:45:00.000+08:00

came back frm my 3 day chalet with my family-cum-camwarrior last min stayover. :))
i guess the most fun part was pool at downtown east, since the one at pasir ris was super LAO POK with only 2 lousy pool tables. so after the unsuccessful trying to surprise yh with jon's presence we bbqed all the remaining food then went to play pool. till 12 plus and then it was there they all decided to stayover and we played pictionary again! :D the pics are damn funny.
tried to play again come tues with my relatives but oh like 4/7 were underaged? so they kept coming out to check on us. SIAN. den there was one guy sitting outside keep staring. so when i stared back he faster turn away. loser.

anyway these are earrings that i sold to yh for his sister and umm... i duno?
who wants place ur order here. HAAH. since my shop blog isnt up yet. photos are courtesy of jon. =]

VJC SDD 2007

since pictures rep a thousand words, i shall spare details and let the pics speak for themselves. :)
SDD was better than expected, since i already had low expectations to begin with HAHAHA.
took pics with those that i cld catch. unfortunately when we asked felicia chin to take a photo with us she already had to go in to be a GOH. siannnn RAHH :(
food was not bad, at least it wasnt a buffet. but we were seated RIGHT IN FRONT like the no. 1 table. -.- at least the view was reasonably good. hah.
and we went for the after prom party at mox bar! the alcohol content in the drinks were like negligible lah it was like just drinking sprite, or lime juice blah bla. wanted to join the band ppl budden i didnt bring all my stuff so couldnt. oh wells.
im tired so this is super brief. go look at the pics anw. here!

2007-12-05T11:43:00.000+08:00

2007-12-04T21:11:00.000+08:00

its only the 2nd day, and i have to work OT. at least im being paid. WOW.
to sum it off for today, i did calling, email-ing (my sec 3 letter writing skills totally didnt come in handy cos i forgot it all hahahaa), bank statement updating, admin, treasury stuff, label-making, more email-ing and calling, excel-ing, meeting the big boss who was in a bad mood (i think) and by the time i reached home it was almost 9. and its kinda scary walking frm the office to the mrt cos there were like 123342345432 pubs along the way, and those kind of ppl standing outside.
and all this for $60 today, cos i worked an extra 1hr. goshhhh. money doesnt come out of rubbish dumps and now i know.

my poor poor poor feet.
combed the whole of city area yesterday, and whole of vivo today. and i learnt tons and tons of stuff. like how noob jonathan is at shopping. and i didnt know there were so many kinds of guy shirts. but selections are few and far in between. im so glad im not a guy. :)
and i got my contacts finally. first time poking your eye... seriously a weird experience.
and everything i got for sdd is well under $100! :)) hahaah me and jh invested in something.....errr.. useful? HAHA! both of us wanted the most dramatic one, but there was only one left so as she put it, she needs it more than me therefore she should have it. HMMM.

go figure.

nw my fingers are tired, on top of my feet. should have kept the solar oven metal we used in cambodia cos now it seems to be of use. HAIS.

2007-11-28T22:24:00.000+08:00

stayover on sunday night was fun! i think my persuasion skills are like improving by the years hahaha cos my mum let 2 guys stay over. GUYS leh. lol
somemore we went to buy alcohol which had more fruit juice taste than actual alcohol... yh actually got drunk on it la hahaha i totally dont buy that he was faking it. den we stayed up the whole night till the newspaper came... playing all the games i cld find in my hse... like mastermind... life (gave up halfway) and weiqi (provided by jh cos i dun own such braincell consuming games in my hse other than chess. hahaha).. but the most fun was pictionary we played it for like, 3hrs? and yh and zr are super telepathic its crazy given yh's drawing skills....... ......
den we sort of cancelled kboxing the next day cos everyone was so tired and slept at 6... den the one who was supposed to wake up the earliest cos she wanted to go home change ended up waking up the latest.. and met up with us the latest too.. is that any surprise anymore. hahaha.
pool was.. hmmm. i think this is something i have to practise to be better at. cos apparently ive gone back to beginner status after not touching it since prelims period. bleahrgh.
and enchanted... not a bad movie, its pretty funny. :) plus ive never watched a disney cartoon in such a long time the beginning and end sort of reminded me of my childhood haha! but some parts were really really stupid, like the park part where they started dancing. but overall a nice movie if you're intending to watch a brainless movie aka not like Prestige. and real life is SO NOT fairytale la. just go compare the illustrations with the real-life actors, tah-dah.
oh well, a disney movie is a disney movie. :)
den went for dinner at nydc, the 4 of them really did a great job at hiding the fact tt they were abt to celebrate me and zr's bday cos we totally didnt expect it. or maybe im just not observant enough. lololol. did a bit of camwhoring, den went home.

eh tired lah.

and yay i got my job :) starting work on mondayyyyy! tho quite apprehensive abt it. but nvm! at least im getting paid to do something hhaha.
