eight kay!

hello, firstly thanks to my big brother, deb and marianne. thanks for the encouragement, somehow every word made me smile. yes, im doing more butt and back exercises,and sen ure right, i know if im too kan ciong and fussy ill shake more. my coach told me to look forward and imagine im pro. in the meantime, im telling myself that learning to kayak is like learning to ride a bike. it takes hell alot of time but once u get there it stays and it feels good. so i shall persevere. :)

next up, i ran 8km today for kayak. yes, 8 km!and befor that i ran 4 plus km during break with my nice classmates:)well for kayak,before the run we did 800 m warm up and another 800m with pushups and all and then we took off for the 8 km run. yes i emerged third last but it felt great knowing that i had completed the run. hmmm actually only four of the girls ran and the rest were the guys, so i guess thats not so bad after all? haha i really wanted to quit halfway but something in me told me to keep going. and thats one thing im really proud of. now im really shagged but i feel like im shining or sth, i feel pretty lively still. and yes one more piece of good news, i can do 8 pull ups! i tried today again after training and i felt so happy. in case anyone who is reading this doesnt know, i have never been able to do a single pull up. haha thanks, kayak. :)

homework wise, everythings alright. i mean, im still rather behind in my work, but i guess im getting better? haha, yes things are going pretty smoothly now. and oh yes, deborah and me were selected by mr shi to go for the pre-u seminar talk in may. wow, i felt so honoured when deb told me.i mean ,as mr shi said, we get to stay in nus for a week, and we get to meet ppl from other jcs, and honourable speakers. wow, deb we really have to make good use of this opportunity. i really feel thankful ive come to vjc. its been giving me all these opportunities that i may not have gotten elsewhere. haha yes, as u can all prob tell from my upbeat mood, today was a good day.

ok i shall end here. takecare all and have a good week ahead. sen u should also stop reading leh. i stop reading ures liao. haha but im honoured u make time for me in ure busy sched. thanks for randy,thats what i call the toy. all the best for ure exams. :)

i know this is really late but it's never too late to say thanks and i'm just plain bored with my research so i shall do this now:

MET-- well, it's been one hell of a journey. i guees he's the first person that i ought to thank since it was he who brought our class together and drilled us continuously. thank you MET! we/ i wouldn't have made it without you! thanks for all the fun and laughter you brought to our rather dead class! the new bf you gave me (remember roger?)! all the times you asked me to jump down!you've certainly made us a more fun bunch :) and all the papers! although we were grumbling back then, they really did help! thanks much :)

mrs low-- it's been a joy and a priveledge to be taught by her! i can still clearly remember how i shivered i my seat each time she looked at me, how i stuttered the first time i spoke to her, how frightened i was during her first lesson, her booming voice, her great stories, her wonderful personality. all these and more will stay with me till the end of time. i really thank you mrs low! if it weren't for all those 6 page essays and constant drilling, i wouldn't have made it :)

all the other teachers-- all the constant scoldings, the numerous questions i've asked, the numerous essays i made you mark. THANK YOU! it's been a joy being taught by all of you! :)

4/2-- my darls! oh my! we have come a long way, from being complete strangers to a warm and hopefully, loving family. self awareness camp and all the outings has certainly bonded us in one way or another. it's you guys that i find it hard to part with as we've grown so attached to one another. all the memories we've shared will always stay in my heart, engraved forever. you guys have been the sweetest and funnest bunch of people to hang out with! the good food, the great outings, the wonderful jokes and laughter! god! i'll miss all of them! :) thank you so much for all these and more! studying was certainly less boring with you guys! i hope that you guys will find happiness in your jc life, wherever you may end up in. i wish you guys success in all your future endeavours. do keep in touch and remember, work hard play hard! i love you guys to bits :)

excuse this entry. it's just me being emo again. this is the result of "the boredom of research". with that aside, i wish all out there a good week ahead! take care and cheers :)

the week's been pretty hectic and crazy so far and i realised that research is taking up a lot of time. all the late nights spent wrecking my brains trying to figure out what the assignment is all about and finally getting down to doing the assignment has really drained me out. i'm really very tired from this and i don't know how i'm gonna continue this at all. part of me wants to pull out while the other part of me wants to wait to get kicked out. sigh. this sucks. hopefully things will start to improve as i settle down.. thanks to all my classmates who has been helping me in work! stella, justin, zw and all.. thanks so much guys!
it doesn't help the situation at all that my ankle is sprained. i really wanna train up cos i realise that my fitness level is really downn.. i feel that i'm very lousy and that i'm bringing the team down. my passes are so inconsistent and i'm quite an accident prone. i hope my ankle gets better soon so that i can train up and improve! hopefully that day'll come...
but of course, seeing 4/2 and all the other ij girls just cheered me up that day! :) it was great to see chang, nutcase, twins, charmaine tay, min, penisa, adel etc etc :) i was sucha happy girl that day! :) and to think that my ct didn't realise that i skipped school that day, double bonus please! haha :D
still, there's plenty to look forward to! class bbq and possibly sleepover on sunday! :D can't wait. i really need some time off! and my dad's coming home! :) and of course, quality time with both friends and family :) absolutely cannot wait ..
as for now, i have to go start on the mountain of work, which is soon to be known as the next mount everest. (excuse the horrid attempt at being funny). take care all and cheers! :) love you huayshan and corrine :)

just another tiring day

hello, i'm really tired now. honestly, i've been feeling rather down these past few days. kayak has been getting to me because i can't balance well. it's pretty obvious that it's me and i feel bad pulling my partner down with me. even mr teo kept groaning when we capsized and i can't help feeling a little demoralised when i see the rest pedalling away happily. i try to tell myself it's because our boat is much harder,but i think we should have balanced by now. but mr teo suddenly stopped us when we were walking back and told us to persevere and keep trying. that was a change from his previous " wah lau! why your butt so shaky one! (me being the owner of the butt he was reffering to)" attitude. well, i felt pretty happy then, and im determined to balance. i'm gonna do butt exercises or sth. well then when we were cleaning up pei ying and daniel were fooling around speaking like crazy nuts, and they just made me feel so much better cause i kept laughing at them


anyway i have to go now cause the guard is locking up. takecare all :)

tired

i'm getting really tired of jc life. lectures and tutorials eeww. but i guess it's bearable when i read up and actually understand what the teachers are talking about,so i'm trying hard to do that for now. as for kayak, today was our land training and we had to hold a pole and pretend we were rowing the boat during a competition. it was extremely humiliating because all the guys kept laughing at us and two of them kept telling me that my pole was slipping out of my hands. felt so weak and lousy then, but i'm too tired to worry about that now. sometimes i wonder what i'm doing in kayaking, because i am doubtful of my ability to actually bring back a medal for vjc. anyway i shall think about that some time later.

hmmm hostel has been pretty fun lately, with rui yi shirley fritz ivy stella and daniel. they're all super nice and entertaining esp when im bored. i keep telling myself how lucky i am to have them in hostel. ah, i foresee that we will be good friends :) what with all the walks to macs in siglap link, our dinners together, our ghost story sessions at the park, our movie-watching. oh dear i'm feeling rather sentimental now haha. well if any one of you sees this, thanks for the company, i really appreciate it.

alright, i should end off now to get some work done. takecare all and have a good week!

hey all. sorry i haven't been updating in awhile cos this week's been really busy for me. with all the tests and trainings, i haven't had a good rest till now..
alright, valentine's day was an interesting one. i never knew that it was sucha big affair in nj! i feel really really bad about not buying nice presents for everyone. i mean, people gave me such expensive and cool things that were beyond my expectations. they're really sweet and i feel bad giving them such lousy presents! really. but all in all, the people were really really sweet and i really enjoyed valentine's day with 06S15! you guys are really the best! (: but all credit has to go to miss corrine ho for making my day (: her present and note was so sweet! i wanted to hug and kiss her but restrained myself from doing so. she's the best!! i really learnt to appreciate her even more after that. her sweet words really touched my heart! i love you so much corrine! i hope my present was good enough to match that big and sweet heart of yours!
road run today was quite good too. i managed to jog through the whole thing despite coughing really badly. i feel a huge sense of accomplishment! (: but i shall try to train up for the one next year! i realise my fitness is really not up to standard so i hope i can train up and not let the touch ruggers down! yet again, corrine has never failed to make me proud. she got 7th in the whole school! (: coolness eh? she's such a talented girl! she worked hard for it and i'm both happy and proud of her! no wonder huayshan and i fell in love with her! haha. ok i admit, that sounds wrong but corrine if you read this, i'm really so so proud of you! (: congrats once again! (:
class outing to coro was good today (: 06S15 has certainly improved as more people turned up for outing today! (: we had so much fun talking crap and eating budget meals! i really hope we do not have to part as i feel quite comfortable and bonded in my class. moreover, stella has been a real sweet girl and friend! she has really made me feel less alone in my class cos i realised that we have a lot of things in common and sometimes, i just need someone as crazy as i in the class! it would be better if corrine was with us though but anyhow, i like my class just the same! (:
alrights, i really have to go now.. till next time! i miss you huayshan! ): take care all and cheers!
oh one more thing: my msn is up now so please add me! nutty_nutter@hotmail.com i look forward to catching up with all the ij girls soon! and of course all my other friends (: cheers!

vjc

school has been looking pretty dry lately. well, i was talking to fritzie this morning and she told me that she felt like changing jcs. well then i realised that i wouldn't mind doing so as well. somehow the excitement of jc has run out for me and now i'm quite tired of going to school. the work is really exhausting and the hours are terrible. but then when i thought about it again, i think i could never bring myself to leave vj cause despite how stressful and tiring it is in vj, i feel very comfortable and at home with the ppl, my nice classmates and the ppl in hostel. so lesson learnt. victoria is something more!haha :)

well i cant say much for now, cause ppl are waiting to use the comp, but to all my ij friends out there i'm missing u all esp twins, and corrine ho.. well takecare then,everyobody and have a good weekend!

valentines day

hello everybody,happy valentines day! it was a rather hectic day today at school. of course the conventional flower giving and chocolate receiving were all there but somehow i felt that this is one of the most meaningful valentines days to me. yes i received several messages from ppl like marianne w, and chang, cher, kaungset and so many other ppl who arent in vj, and it meant alot to me that i was still on their mind. esp those like jill jessica and cher who sent me the flowers from tj! esp cherlyn ho! the beautiful wrapped flower must have cost a bomb. and im so touched and i feel bad that i didnt get to give u anything. miss u and corrine pretty much. well,and my classmates all passed around stuff too, and it was so nice seeing everyone laughing and sharing cookies and all. felt so nice and warm and fuzzy. well, in case anyone is wondering, im spending my vee day alone in my room, doing my homework. haha yes spell it out, mugger! but i had enough fun in school.

moving on, i haven't been blogging much lately cause i couldn't find time. and i'm feeling rather uncomfortable now because i am still very confused with most ofmy work, esp chemistry and biology. i, *sheepish* fell asleep during bio today and now i'm really regretting it. so i shall have to work on that. i must confess that i have been rather egoistical these past few days cause of my olevel results but i shall have to reduce the swelling of my head soon. haha study hard yep!

tmr is kayaking training! things have been going pretty well so far, i can balance pretty alright with rui yi already. and im getting to know pei ying and sara better which is good cause i like them both. used to feel a little left out but now it getting better. kayaking is tough and tiring but i think it's an extremely fantastic feeling when we all finish running or sth as a team and we all laugh and drink 100+ together. haha oh right here's the kayak cheer rui yi came up with:

kayak ready, pedals up, cg low
keep your spirit soaring high,
reach your goal, a gold medal
kayak unite!

i think i missed sth out but haha its sth like that. well that's all for now then. have a good week,everyone! :)

hey huayshan. you owe marianne and i dinner or lunch date ok? i was damn sad that you couldn't come ok. anyway, congrats on getting your much wanted 6pts! i told you that you'll be fine! (: and thanks for being there with me to collect results! it wouldn't have been the same without you screaming and hugging together! haha. i really hope to see you soon with twins and chang! lunch or dinner soon please! (::
as huayshan said, friday was a good good day. it was so good to see 4/2 again and they were all happy! i was especially happy that huayshan, chang, twins, pets and gang did well! it was so heartwarming to know that all of us did well together and improved! we did live up to expectations and were not lagging behind! (: and most importantly, all the studying paid off! the study plan with pet, the night study with pet and kl and adel, the night lessons with chang, the home studying with twins, the kiasu lessons with huayshan etc has all paid off! i'll never forget waking up at 5am to study or staying up till the wee hours in the morning to mug. god! i'm eternally grateful to 4/2, the teachers and of course god! (:
invest with gekshan was good, embarrassing ourselves by laughing ever so loudly and cheering like crazy. talking to teachers was great fun too! never thought that would happen. dinner with aileen, amelia, pets, elaine, chang! and gekshan at swensons was good (: ate my fav apple crumble!!!! and sticky chewy chocolate! and baked rice! yumm. the cool thing was that it was the exact same table we ate at on the last day of o levels! fate! haha. i realise how i miss them and all the good meals and outings we used to have! at least we're gonna meet up soon! congrats all once again! i'm really happy and proud of you guys(: i'm gonna miss you and love you lots! now it's time to really settle down in nj. cheers you guys(:

olevel!

wow its been long since i updated! hey ppl im officially a victorian! yes ive got a miraculous 6 pts! haha and marianne too! best part is ppl i care abt like marianne c corrine cher did well too. lets celebrate together:) deb wish u wouldn be so disappointed. dun be so self degratory! and angie, im open if u need to talk anytime. and to the rest of 4/2 i think eric would have been proud of us:)

well, its been a tiring time, and im glad this whole olevel thing is over. well, one things for sure, hard work pays off. all those nights in the study room, the mornings i had to wake up early.. haha well it was all worthwhile.anyway i ll update later. takecare everyone!

hey huayshan thanks so much for ytd (: i really had fun with you and chang! and i feel a bit better already. i'll go talk to fel on monday.. maybe it'll help. you don't worry ok? i'm sure you'll do well and be fine (: trust me.
anyway, ytd was great fun! (: i haven't had so much fun in a long time! (: the sushi was great but i was really really stuffed. i think i might have eaten the 5 sushis too fast. hur hur. too bad we could only stay for lunch, but at least we got to catch up with all the rest whom i haven't seen for sucha looong time! all the noise we were making! god i miss that (: i haven't felt that warm fuzzy feeling inside me for a loong time. sigh. then it was the usual walking around with huayshan and chang for their girly shopping. haha. i must say, chang got a really good deal on her jeans! and the earrings were good too eh? had a good good talk with them as well! it's been ages and i really miss it (: all the funny and silly things we talk about! heh heh. so unlike in nj, where i hardly have anyone like them to talk to. it can get really lonely. i seriously miss 4/2 a lot. i never felt this way in ij before. this sucks. i miss all my good and close friends a hell lot. it's really depressing thinking about such things. oh well. i shall just try not to.
oh yes, before i forget! I'M GONNA MISS YOU LOADS Z! DO TAKE CARE AND KEEP IN TOUCH! I LOVE YOU (:
alright, till next time! hopefully i'll be in a better mood to blog by then! cheers (:
