An achievement

Yes, I made an achievement yesterday! to many of u, this is really chicken feet, but for me, who haven done PE for 6 years, i see it as an achievement. I accompany sarah to go jogging, and i ran 1 round on the track!!

six years ago, while i was still in primary 6, i was able to run 1.6km. it was the first and also the last. for the past 6 years, i hardly even exercise, and only ran when i had to catch buses. didnt expect myself to ever run again, but since sarah have been running at night, and at night nobody can see me, i thought i'll just give it a try. didnt expect much from myself, and i think 1 round is good enough for now. give me some time, when i can do 2 rounds, i'll announce it here again!

I'll be having a marketing presentation this friday. this is going to be my first 'serious' presentation, so far the 2 or 3 that i've done are just some introduction, so i'm quite nervous. for all the presentations i'm scheduled in the first group, so lucky!

Melvin, Happy Birthday!!

Just had my driving lesson, and it was very very bad. when i was learning parking, my instructor shouted at me so loudly because i didnt control the clutch properly. I wonder if its my problem or his problem, for the whole of the 2 hours i just sit in the car to let him scold. I pay him $22 per hour to let him scold me. its just 2 months more, i can endure!!

I'm going back to hall soon, after having dinner. friday comes fast, monday comes even faster.. I haven adjusted to being a student again, having to read lecture notes, textbooks, many many case studies, many many articles, doing tutorials, and preparing for so many presentations.. worst of all, there are tests and quizzes coming up too. I'll better stop watching so much tv when i'm home, and the most difficult thing is to keep myself healthy. was actually sick the past 2 days because my father bought 10 durians on friday. and i ate like i've never eaten durian before. I really miss durians so much, they haven been around for such a long time.. they are finally back!! ok, and the weather is really bad, so take care!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Hall 1 Bash at Butter Factory

This is the cheesecake designed and made by me for my brother's birthday.

Its my father's birthday today, this is the first time I'm not home to be with him.. Sorry!!

Happy birthday Daddy!

Recovering..

Just came back from dinner at canteen A with audrey, yan, harris and michelle. harris and michelle came all the way to Ntu to visit us, so nice of them.. Ntu is really very far, so really appreciate their effort to come all the way after their school. i know they have work to do and gotta wake up early for school tmr. hmm.. we shall meet again soon somewhere out of Ntu.

I'm getting used to hostel and school life day by day. tutorials are accumulating, so i dun have much time to sit there and miss home. and when u're busy, time seem to pass faster. tomorrow is thursday already! i can go home soon!!! miss my scv so muchie!!

Finally Home

I'm home! have been home since friday, and it really feels good. besides my family, the thing i really miss is TV!! For the past 19 years of my life, there isnt a day whereby i dun watch tv. especially in recent years, i can say i cant live without scv. Now, i have to try to live without a television for 5days in a week. Though i've been sleeping late these 2 nights, i wake up at 9am yesterday and today morning to catch scv shows. This is the cumulative method, I'll watch all i can in the 2 days that i'm back home.

And i realise i dun seem to have enough time to spend. For 5 days i'm stuck in Ntu. I use the word 'stuck' because when u're there, u wont feel like or u wont have the time to get out of that place. I wont want to travel all the way to orchard to shop even if i have little lessons on certain days. When i'm back on the weekends, i dun really wanna go out because its family time. I cant bear to waste the little time that i'm left with my family. at home the 4 of us will still do our own things, but it still feels good. at least i know i'm with them. yesterday we played mahjong and then had dinner together.. Its only after my stay in hostel that i realise how much i cherish times spent with them..

Enlin's birthday celebration

This post is a week late, but just take a look at the nice pics taken on last saturday!

Birthday girl in the middle
Milkshakes (my banana is the nicest)
Class 213
Me and my darling
Watching fireworks
Bei bei and me
Jy, cassan and me

By the way, the fireworks that night was very very nice! love it so much.. the style is so much different from those National Day fireworks we see every year.

LI SHENG JIE ROCKS!!

I'm abit worried. Because i think i'm sick. Not only homesick, but when I'm in Ntu, I have very serious mood swings which I've never experienced before. This moment i'm very happy about something, the next i'm super depressed about another.

Just now I went to watch Li Sheng Jie concert in Ntu with Cassan. It was superb!! his voice was so so nice and he looks good.. much much better than on tv. and everyone was very high.. the ambience was good.. the songs were really very nice. every single song was nice! he walked down the rows, I was so close to him, but didnt get to shake his hand. but my view was good lah, it was at the side, but it was the second row. Woww.. I'm crazy over him now!!!

Then right after the concert something happened and I'm very depressed now. shall not talk about it anymore, since its over I shall learn to accept reality. I hope it will be a good lesson learnt. sometimes i really hate myself for doing things that I'll regret. when will i ever be independent and when will i ever learn to decide for myself wat i really want? I think i've got enough regrets. I dun want more.

I'm missing home..

I'm all alone in hall now. Its only monday and i cant wait to go home. dunno how i'm going to survive for the next 5 days. Sometimes i wonder if i made the right choice about studying in Ntu. To say is easy, but is it really that easy to learn to be independent? this will probably be the most difficult period of my life, learning to be an independent girl. dunno how long i'll take to stop depending on my secondary school and jc friends. its difficult to mix with my classmates because everybody have their own friends, and they would definitely prefer to stay with their old friends. I know i'm not going to depend on my old friends, because like me, they need to make new friends too. So i'll leave it to fate.. see how long I'll need to make new, nice friends. For this period of time, thanks to Sarah, Audrey, Yan, Cassan and Vivien for being there for me when i need your company.

If I've chosen to study in SMU, I wonder how things will be like. will i be a happier person?

Beautiful Saturday

As u can see, I've got a new blogskin. This is found and edited by jingyi to become my blogskin. yeah we copied from someone who will never ever read jingyi or my blog, so its ok. and of cos that girl didnt do it for free. when she was at my place, I bribed her with a big glass of root beer, a tau sar piah and a bowl of almond jelly with longan. This paragraph is for her cos she keep pestering me to tell everybody she did it.

Today is saturday! when i woke up to realise its saturday, I was so so happy. We'll be celebrating en's birthday later, looking forward to seeing them.. For the whole week, I've been feeling so strange and uncomfortable when i'm with my new classmates. finally can relax and just say or do anything i want in front of my friends!!

And did u see the handsome guy by the side? He's Hacken Lee, my super idol. He is Number 1 male singer in Hongkong!

I'm back!

Gosh, haven got time to update my blog for the whole week! anyway, school has started and i'm staying in hall already. the first night was very bad, cos we had no internet connection and no tv, so there was nothing to do at all. and when it was time to sleep we couldnt get to sleep. in the end i slept at 5plus, and gotta wake up at 7plus.

The first day was orientation, and i gotta know my classmates. we have about 23 or 24 people, but there were only 5 guys. too many new faces and new names to remember, i need some time. it was a fun day, we played many stupid games, and the poster that we designed even won the 3rd prize! it was quite amazing, its just the first day of school, and we could work so well together to win for our class a prize, so happy!!



After that was the joint-hall bash! It was very fun cos everyone was really high and crazy! didnt get to eat the food cos there were just too many people, but the live-band performance, dance competition and all the dancing were great.. was really really tired after such an eventful day.

The next day got up at 7plus again for lectures. 4 hours of continuous lecture is the greatest torture. especially when the lecturer just read word for word from his powerpoint slides. cant help but keep falling asleep.

Now that i'm home, i would rather it wasnt a holiday today. I'm really glad to be home, but once i'm home i really dun feel like going back again. Home is still so comfortable!!

No more monday blues

I just matriculated online and saw my time-table! I've got no school on every monday for the next 13 weeks!!! and for the other days i only have like 2-3 lessons per day, though each lesson is 2 hours. not too sure if its a good thing to have such a timetable now, or maybe its only for this one semester, so i'll better enjoy it while i can.

Great Day

It was so tiring today, went to Ntu with sarah at 11plus and only reached home at 7plus. The happy thing is our room is really clean now and we've chosen our bed. we tried to put the 2 beds together, but after moving here and there, we realise it couldnt be done. thanks sarah for letting me sleep in the inside!

Then we walked around to so many places to submit sarah's forms. its so tiring walking around Ntu, mainly because we dunno the way, and there are slopes and long flight of stairs everywhere. we were so tired that we went back to take a short nap.

She must be really tired man. Didnt put bedsheet also can sleep.

This is my bed on the right side. I was tired too, but couldnt get to sleep without bedsheet.

Our wardrobe. its abit small.

Our table! I like this arrangement cos we can study together.

After that i came home for dinner because my brother cooked! He made burger for us. it was nice, there were so many ingredients in the burger. Bread, cheese, beef, ham, onions, mushrooms and bacon. that was the main course. For drinks it was my favourite root beer float! Dessert, vanilla ice-cream with horlick powder on it. Superb!

Since he prepared such a sumptuous dinner for us, we couldnt say no to his request for mahjong session. no need to ask the outcome, i lost again. but i laughed alot during the session, so thats equivalent to winning. it was a great evening!

7 more days

Yes, i only have 7 days before school starts. and it seems like there are many things to be done. will be moving in all the bulky things tomorrow. after tomorrow, i hope the things in hostel are more or less settled. just left with clothes, which i'm going to have difficulty choosing which to bring. shall not bother about that yet.

Now i'm more excited about tmr, cos its the first time i'll be going with Sarah. with her there, more things can be decided. at least i'm gonna know which bed and table i'm going to own.

Actually i'm beginning to have the sad feeling. though its not that i'm going overseas, but its still the first time staying away from home. where else can be better than home? who else can treat u better besides your family members? I think i'm having a hard time now because i've been especially dependent on my parents all these while. However unhappy i was after a day in school, i can go back to my shelter, and my daddy is always there to stand out for me. Since i wont be going home now, i predict my parents wont get to know most of my problems, that means i gotta settle them by myself. Its finally time that i'm truly going to be independent. My parents can finally let me go and start worrying about their own future.
