holidays are here!

well, first of all, let me start by saying how ridiculous i felt this morning. i felt completely and utterly ridiculous getting up at the same time of 6 plus this morning and boarding the usual 6.50am bus this morning to get to school. and they term this part of the year as school holidays? bah! oh well, i'm just sore over the full day of school i had today even though it is supposedly the school holidays. i have been going back to school everyday for make ups, trainings, spa and what not. what school holidays?
so here i am online at a pretty ungodly hour trying to download stuff from km and do up some last minute formalities before i leave for my long awaited trip to the us! finally! HOLIDAY. ok. well, not really since i'm gonna be studying for my cts if i can. i promise to bring back something nice for everyone :)
tomorrow is also THE day. yup. it's the first touch rugby competition in which 5 of the year ones will be taking part in! obviously, i'm not part of the 5. in fact, i'm the team manager :) hee hee. i hope that we can do well despite facing the obstacles. yes, we will pull through. nj ruggers all the way!
alright, before i sign off, i would like to wish one and all a fantastic holiday! study hard but play hard too! take care all :)

to huayshan and the twins and chang and pets and charmaine tay
hey guys! let's catch up one day ok? i'll be back on the 16th so i'll call you guys then k? i really am looking forward to catching up and hanging out with you guys! take care :)

booboo

hello! ahh its been long! well, ITS HOLIDAY TIME! finally! haha but i do miss school a little, not the studies part though. hmmm okay firstly just a tribute to vj- ah,i love you! the soccer finals was WOW WOW WOW. we had a full day off on friday and the kayak girls went to queensway to get new shoes. had a good bonding time :)

i can't wait for the pre-u sem next week! seriously im looking forward to it. esp the part where we get to wear blazers. haha and ELIZABETH SEITOH and VALERIE!! can't wait to go bug them during the seminar. they're nice friendly people that im glad i got to know through the pre-u sem! ill update abt it next sat once i get back.

im sick of talking abt kayak trainings actually. not that i hate them or anything but for once i would like to have sth other than kayak to occupy my mind. thats kinda why im glad i can break away and have a fresh new type of fun next week.

im missing odac dreadfully. keep telling myself not to look back but sometimes i can't help thinking abt it. it's odd;i thought quitting would be okay cause i hadnt really bonded with the odacers as much as the kayakists, but i find myself yearning to step into the odac room and flash smiles at its occupants, i miss talking to the odacers like jon,alvin,wilson,huihui.. ARGH. but i WONT look back, I WONT.

i miss my brother. he's always out when im at his place and i hardly get to see him. not that i blame him but i wish he could be around more often. sometimes i feel like we have too little time together. ppl out there, u guys should really appreciate having ure siblings with u all the time! sincerely wish i had appreciated my brother before we both got split up by our studies here.

take care everybody. spend your holidays to the fullest!

funtasia

wow it's been a long time since i've blogged. well, i've been busy and sick so that explains my disappearance from the blogging scene.
well, funtasia on saturday was a blast! i got to catch up and have fun with the people that mean the most to me: huayshan, chang, pets, charmaine tay, cher, corrine, amelia, aileen, kalala, jelly, sally, mavis, chua and kl. thanks for coming down to show your support guys! i really miss you guys so much and seeing you guys really made my day :) i'm so glad to have you guys as friends and i look forward to catching up with you guys again sometime soon :)
so the day was pretty good. ate a lot with stella, anabelly, stan and darren and all the ij girls. it was really great fun! we got lots of great food and the best part is that i only spent 10 bucks of my own money! haha what a great deal! :) i had a great time with you guys so thanks for making my day a rocking one! the food was good, the people were great, the company was the best! thanks guys :)
oh man i have to go back to my sad life of mugging cos i desperately need to catch up on work. roars. i miss ij lots! seeing the peeps made me reminisce so much and i really miss you guys! rah. alright, emo post. haha. shall go rest up today so i can train hard tomorrow. take care all and have a great week ahead :) shall post pics up soon!

another dose of nostalgia

hello! here's one of those long long reflective posts of mine :)

i have three things to talk about : -

1) I AM PROUD TO BE A VICTORIAN
yes i am indeed! friday was half day because of the basketball finals against RJ. frankly i didn't really want to go down to support them at first but the kayak girls were going so i decided to just tag along and see what all the fuss was about. to cut a long story short, i realised why "victoria is something more". i seriously think that around 3/4s of the school was there that day! all sorts of people-i saw the odacers,the soccer team, some random classes.. all united for one goal-to spur the basketballers on! the match was an exciting one and i felt so proud of the strong spirit we displayed. i especially admire the soccer guys who somehow managed to bring an obese-looking drum and were hammering it throughout the entire match! the way they cheered for vj was truly.. inspiring! they hollered,they ROARED, they screamed themselves hoarse. the looks of defeat and helplessness on the rafflesians' faces were priceless. they tried to throw in the occasional cheer, but it would always result in the soccer guys hammering the drum deafeningly to disrupt their rhythm. the best part was that i finally cleared my mind of sth that had been bugging me a little the past few months- as i sat amongst the victorians,cheering i realised that i wouldn't, for a million bucks want to be at the other side of the crowd! i've always wondered what it would have been like if i had gone to rj. but now i know-they may be smarter and more talented, but there's no spirit,no family,like that of the VICTORIANS. :)

2) BUT AT THE SAME TIME I MISS IJTP.
yes. today i went for the NJ funfair and i saw lien(HI LIEN! was great to see you) and my dear ij pals. PETRINA TAN MARIANNE WONG MARIANNE CHANG CHARMAINE TAY. all of you have been through different things with me and every time i hang out with you guys it makes me miss what we used to do in sec4! esp to petty, ahh i miss those ij badminton days,when we would talk abt just anything under the sun! i remember there being a point in time,when i knew everything about your life. talking to you today and going to tp macs made me miss sec4 life so much! i miss how we would scream and squeal bimbotically over minute stuff, how we bitched about coach, and i miss looking at your sweet face! i remember our squabbles over the positions on the badminton team too*sheepish* i know im changing due to the diff atm in jc, but i will always be an IJ girl at heart.

3) OHNO
i think i'm losing focus. i'm trying to steer myself back to the right track but i really don't know if i can. for the first time in my life i actually dreamed throughout lectures without bothering to even take out my pencilcase. it's bad for me and i should really stop and be focused. my life consists of two things only-kayak and studies. that's the way it should be and that's the way i'm gonna make it be. i just finished filing all my worksheets and now i can start preparing a timetable. steady, huay shan!

takecare everyone. all VICTORIANS, live your lives in vj to the fullest! all IJTPIANS, keep those memories stored safely at the corners of your hearts. those out there losing focus as well, wake up in time for the midyears! :)

:)

HALLO! shall not type much for now but ild like to dedicate this post to any odacers reading this- THANK YOU for all the tags and for all the smiles you guys have been giving me around school! seriously i'm touched,flattered and honoured! :) thanks jonathan for the encouraging speech and for all your nice-ness,alvin for all the chats and for the support,szehan for the nice taggie and for being sympathetic and nice,weiqin for putting up with me during odac pt,UNCLE for always being friendly and well, funny, and to yuanli and huihui ahh,you guys make me feel loved when i was in odac!and audrey and jwei for trying to persuade me to stay. felt seriously honoured. but im sure you guys will have fun anyway without me! well i really wanted to get to know you guys better but i guess it's quite hard now. nvm, at least we had some time together. anyway okay, ill update later on. takecare everyone!

TO MISS PANGRUIYI
let me tell you all what she does.
SHE EATS HOKKIEN MEE AT 10PM WHILE I WATCH AND INFORM HER OF ITS FAT CONTENTS.
SHE SHIFTS HER BUTT DURING KAYAK AND MAKES US CAPSIZE.
SHE KEEPS SAYING SHE IS PRETTY.
SHE HAS A PIMPLE UNDER HER NOSE.
HER MUSCLES ARE SMALLER THAN MINE.
SHE IS WHACKING MY MUSCLES NOW.

byebye!!

bad day

hello! today was a really weird day. mixture of a lot of things. well i'll start with my ccas.

pulled out(sounds ever so much better than quit,doesn't it?) from odac today. i've been thinking bout it for some time and i think it's the right decision. well and i was touched when ppl like huihui, szehan,wilson,jonathan,alvin and wenhui came up and expressed their concerns about it. very touched,guys! appreciate it! wish i could still be a part, but i think this is for the best. and i feel ultra bad cause of some seniors. they've done quite a bit to get me this far in odac and i feel like i'm being selfish by giving it up now. i'm really sorry.

kayak today and ytd. OHGOD. ytd was six rounds of circuits,around 600 push ups and i cant remember how many dibs. today was six rounds sprinting. haha but today's sprint was quite amusing. frankly my mental strength is quite bad. i lagged behind in a few rounds and was among the first few in some rounds. was quite flattered when nat told me i was weird cause im fast at times and slow at times. but i wish i was as strong mentally as peiying. girl,you're my hero. and to ruiyi-good job girl for completing ure sprints. takecare and let's jiayou ok.

i feel bad like im pangseh-ing my buddies alot these few days. im sorry bout the choir concert, debo and elise. i will make it up to you guys. i know im always saying that but i will!

ok gtg now. some guy waiting for the comp. well tc all and have a good week!

update!

hello, it's been long! firstly, to KATLYN, i haven't heard from you for really long! ok sms me when you get your new phone. we'll all go hang out, with jill stella fritzie and all. hope you are doing good with hockey and dance. update me on your latest stash of trashy novels too okay. haha i havent read one for very very long. sighhhhh.... :D to uncle willy,HALLO!

let me talk bout the first thing that's on my mind- kayak trainings. it's been really good this week. i have no idea why but me and yi capsized at most only once this whole week(per training). and like i grumbled to everyone, we capsized cause she was trying to adjust her butt without informing me. we've also been able to sprint a little better than usual, and i've kind of learnt how to "cycle" when im sprinting,sort of like pushing my leg against the footrest alternatively. today we only capsized when mr teo started paddling in front of us to scare us and created this huge backwash and blocked our path. aiyohyoh. but i was quite happy that he didn't say anything to scold us or discourage us today. i've learnt to be happy not when we get praised,but when he doesn't say anything. haha :)

studies? GOD i don't even want to talk about it here. but i can say this- during june ill mug. oh yes i will. anyway i do wanna do a h3. i kind want something that will look good on my cert. i was thinking either bio or chem. but preferably bio. yucks to chem. all hail bio!

i don't know why but kayak is still occupying my mind. okay let me add some minor details about what happened during trainings-

we had 3 girl's K2 boats out today. when me and yi were paddling to the shore, we saw chinghui struggling to carry the boat with pui yee. beside them,waiting patiently were eunice and sharon, who lost their patience after awhile and sharon decided to try to climb out of the boat. eunice was screaming at her i think. something that went along the line of "what you doing??!!!" then as these two pairs were still struggling to get their boats up to shore safely, me and yi merrily rowed our boats into sharon and eunice's boat and gave it a meek and gentle knock. oh man, what happened then was hilarious. sharon fell out,tilted the boat,then EUNICE fell out,and crashed against chinghui and puiyee's boat and the both fell into the water! me and yi laughed so hard while the four of them glared at us menacingly. it was really funny. haha!

okay i shall end here-i have to do my pw now heh. takecare all, have a good week ahead!

weekend in review

it's been a long while since i've blogged. well life's been busy with trainings, studying for tests and going out.. it's been a while since i've had a nice day to just relax a bit. well, not totally, but a bit since i still have to mug for chem. roar.
friendly against hwa chong yesterday and boy did i learn many things. i think this was really good exposure to the competitions we will be facing in the time to come. i really enjoy spending time with the ruggers even though we might be stoning half the time. i guess life wouldn't be whole without them :) i guess the friendly has made us realise our strengths and weaknesses and i'm sure that this will help us grow and improve as a team. we will work towards our final goal together, yes we will :) the friendly was uber tiring though. the hwa chong people are so fit! it's frustrating and tiring trying to touch them! but it was really good an experience. i have to improve my stamina! four rounds phat legs plus four rounds slow jogs are now a weekly affair. whoppee! fitness here i come :) yeah right. haha. i will try though, to do them faster each week.
election results are out and well, no change for potong pasir. it came as a bit of a shock to me, really but i'm alright with the results. i'm not much of a political person so don't expect much from me. well, the celebrations were crazy last night and they lasted till 1am in the morning! thank god it's over! i can finally have quiet nights :)
this election results can only mean one thing: i can vote for the next election. whoppee?
oh well, take care all and have a great week ahead! holiday on friday :) i love :)

random

was online just now when i, (as i told chengwei) had a rather interesting conversation with my hair. so being the lame, free person i am, i decided to blog about it.

huayshan(hs): (sighs) i'm bored. i should be doing my work.
hs's hair(hsh): no, you should be washing me. do you know how long it's been since i've taken a bath?!
hs: but i just washed you yesterday!
hsh: it's SO NOT FAIR. how come hands get washed every half hour and i get washed every random day, whenever you feel like it? *grumble grumble*
hs: oh shut up. i don't want this conversation. i'm bored and sleepy.
hsh: and would you mind using LOREAL instead of DOVE? don't you think i deserve better?
hs: don't be stupid! do you know how much more LOREAL costs?
hsh: hmmmphhh. pfffft. i hate you. i'm so gonna drop off your cheapo scalp.
hs: oh shut it. i'm so gonna cut my hair soon!

awwww man i just get crappier each day. HELP ME! haha i'm kidding bout the hair anyway. You'll still see my long bushy ponytail on monday.

back to normal

hi everyone,im back to talking about my oh,so entertaining and interesting life. yay,i bet you all are so excited now! *knocks head on the wall due to extreme lame-ness*

alright. well today during bio lecture the lecturer told us about some science research programme whereby we get to assist some professor in a cancer research programme. i was captivated the minute i heard the words "cancer research". i mean, i currently believe that medicine is what i want to do for the rest of my life, and getting involved in this programme will be really good exposure for me and i bet it will look fantastic on my testimonial. problem is, a lot of people signed up for this programme. and i bet it's gonna be tough getting in. but i seriously want to get it. the lecturer said that cca commitments play some part in the selection process. i was thinking about it very seriously and i think i may have to quit odac to cope with everything better. well, we'll see how it goes, hopefully i'll be able to get in. :D

i'm really tired. and i hate being busy and i detest having my days filled up with activities. it was such a relief to be home today and to just enjoy and spend time with my family. i want to be able to wake up anytime i want,i want to be able to watch TV without having a stack of tutorials beckoning to me from the corner of my eye. i want to be able to sleep as much as i want! and frankly, i hate kayak trainings;i hate running and sprinting. the only reason why i'm staying is because of the team. they are the ones that help me get through everything and i cant bear to leave them!

very tired now. shall go to sleep. :)

another one

yes im blogging again, cause i just realised that my hostel computers are working and they're fast too!haha ull be hearing alot from me from now onwards. firstly WAHLAU! im so not talking bout stuff like love anymore. it's too dangerous with people out there reading my blog and laughing at me and flashing me cheeky looks whenever i switch off during lectures. and i think some people think im monkey nuts too. eh i mean this is a blog. it's for penning down what i feel and my views on stuff. right? sigh.

it boiled my blood today when i heard that there are rumours going around the odacers that i'm insecure. i know the source of that rumour and boy do i feel like roasting somebody's brains out. yes dear me i'm in a bad mood now. i stink from kayak training and im hungry and sleepy. ROARRRRRRRRR. ahh, that felt better.

you know those times when you walk around school and you feel like thumping your chest and letting out one of those blood-curdling indian yowls while running around in circles?yes well, i had one of those today. i was walking to class,worrying about the gp essay test and i just had this intense urge to throw my books onto the ground, bend forward and ram my head into a wall. the idea was so funny that i started giggling to myself and letting out these rather unflattering snorts. sigh. i think im going abit crazy even gedeon says im becoming more like ruiyi. oh dear. the effects of school,ladies and gentlemen. :)

okay,i shall spare you guys and stop my crap. take care everyone. have a good early day tomorrow!

responses

hello again! wow ive been blogging alot this past few days! well THANK YOU for all the tags! hmmm to miss WANYUN eh you awful girl, don't act shy lah,i know you re dying for a ticket to dreamland with me. haha :) all the best for your matches. To changs, heyyy glad to hear from you ill link you asap. haha course i haven't changed. hope to catch up with you soon. wanna go shopping during the holidays? anyway,aye ill be seeing you during the pre u sem briefing on wed. we'll talk a little then. to deborah. haha:) i cant wait to see what the next two years have in store for us,can you?:)

frankly kayak today was a little sad and demoralising. but no worries, to my partner, im glad we're in this together and i really think we can make this work. you have my assurance that i won't give up-unless you give up. so we'll keep it going and ignore HIM. at least we only capsize when we sprint now. :) if daniel or yi rui see this, guysss i wish you guys would go back to the normal people you were! i mean i totally understand that you guys are sad but hey :) it's a bad period that ull get through. trust me. talk to me anytime yeah.

oh my goodness,oh my goodness.

guys! i got 7/8 for the bio spa!! the radish one!the ones that i foolishly highlighted!haha i bet you're all like "huhh??" haha another ofmy random thoughts.

hmmm.. aye i TOTALLY agree that it's so nice to have someone to talk to at night, to look forward to seeing and i think it's great to know that someone cares alot for you! frankly there are nights when i feel so lonely and well, sort of unloved,especially when my room is filled with sounds of mobile phones beeping,and the beep is never from MY phone.my previous roommates have had their special someones and to tell the truth i often felt jealous when i saw them happily whispering sweet nothings into the phone. i mean, the only person who calls me now is my mom! haha i love her to hell and talking to her is always so refreshing but like almost everyone out there,i crave that sense of security and satisfaction from having an otherhalf. dear me i sound desperate now. hey people,this isn't an ad for lonely singles out there okay. haha what im trying to say is that i think i AM in love-i'm in love with the idea of love. and getting into a relationship based on that is really wrong and unfair to me. haha and i can't really differentiate my feelings at times-so to be safe.. ill stick to being the girl that i long to be-(i crafted out this "ideal me" in the beginning of sec4)

i want to be focused in my studies,to have enough good friends and to do well in my cca.

yeap, that's what i wanna be and that's what im gonna spend my time on. well, so i should go take a bath and try to do some work. marianne chang since you're gonna be reading this, i do miss you. and all the times we had together. hope you're doing good. takecare:) to everyone who doesn't know- MARIANNE CHANG is one of my closest sec school buddies-we shop talk eat and gossip like nuts when we're together. haha well have a good week people, and well, here's to love! :D

sweatynoww

just came back from kayak training where we sprinted six rounds! whewww! im really glad that's over. it's one of the things i dread the most in kayak! anyway i just happened to be reading a lot of blogs the past few days and i noted something that some other people noted too-love is ALL around! yes i sound corny i know,but hey don't u guys agree with me? im sure elizabeth and lina do. had a great talk with u both today. to elizabeth im sorry for the wrong 1st impression:) to lina u horrible girl u made me skip malay! nah lah kidding. sorry for sleeping and not entertaining you during bio.

well, LOVE! i think it's a really great thing to have. goodness gracious me,almost everyone is blogging about how they miss that special someone or how they long to have that special someone to notice them.well, i can't really say that i have a special someone or that i've given my heart away, (though i have been sorely tempted to)but the thought of having an other half to complain to and to share my life with IS rather tempting. haha i guess that's what everybody wants,right? haha i confess at times,during lectures i do take my occasional trips to dreamland and fantasize about having some significant other. then my logical side comes into the picture and i try to visualise the ending. will the relationship work out even after we leave jc? and the answer's usually NO. haha in short,i think being attached is something awfully tempting in jc,esp with the huge supply of cuties in vj but i don't think it's something sensible to do, cause it's really unlikely that the relationship will work out. ohwell, ill stick to dreaming during lectures. anyone want a ticket to come along with me? :) this is quite random right, haha.just food for thought.

i should well,go now and take a nap before i face my homework.so to all u out there who are in love, all the best! :)

random

i just had this sudden urge to blog about the bio spa that happened about a week ago when i was reading debo's blog. i think it was seriously one of the funniest things i have ever done. when i first saw the radish i was so amazed i picked it up and started sniffing at it,wondering if it was real. then,still rather amused,i went on to solemnly inspect the other items in the apparatus basket. to my greatest delight there was a smelly rusty knife which seemed to be begging me to pick it up and hack the radish into a million gazillion pieces! which WAS what i did eventually. hacked the radish.and being SO SO SO freaking stupid i highlighted the radish pieces to tell them apart. oh mygoodness when mr foo saw me he started laughing and i think he's going to deduct marks. cause, as elise reminded me later, the ink can dissolve in the solution(which explains the pink solution that mysteriously appeared in my beaker) and cause an error in readings. ohman,seriously.i didn't need to be a bio student to know that! dear friends, forgive me for being such a cuckoonana. well,at least i didn't chop the white tile into half like some people did. HAHA!

oh dearsss i have not done any work at all. seriously leh. haha nevermind,the fun i had was worthwhile. have a good weekend,everybody. those of you feeling down or in the blues, smile and tell yourself that things will work out eventually. :)

i love rugby!

fbt shorts = $10
class shirt = $12
boots = $47
rolling around in mud with touch ruggers = priceless

i love rugby :)
