The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

a week has passed since lessons officially started :)
time passes so fast its scary.
anyways...i'm trying to catch up on the new subjects-not that i'm doing much.
hahaha and i've already started skipping lessons - but they are the old subjects though..i'd be stoning during lecture cuz i've heard it all before. AND the teachers use the same old lecture slides for 1st and 2nd intake.
it's kinda annoying.

school's been good overall other than the fact that i'm going broke paying for notes.
$10 here. $20 there. $7 here. $10 there. $5 there. $5 there.
somehow i did a rough calculation and i think i spent about $60 on notes and house tee.
that's excluding the $200 for graphic calculator.
i have to fork out $30 bucks for it cuz i told my mum it was $170. but i want the sliver edition.
the black one looks really ugly :(

for the past few days i've been thinking about wheather or not to take KI.
people i've talked to said to take and there are signs after praying that i should.
i want to but i'm so afraid i wont be able to cope.
just looking at the formate for the exam scares me. lol :)
oh well...but i think i'm goons just get the textbook to read for pleasure.
and that calls for another $50.

it's wierd that i'm afraid to ask my dad for extra money to get all these stuff these days.
i mean afterall, he's my dad right?
and isn't it only right for him to pay for my stuff?
but he gets all annoyed and even pissed off when i ask for money.
"money money money. that's all ya'll come to me for."
i mean it's not like he can't afford it or anything.
like really...he can- and i'd say he can afford much much more than that.

even searching for a tuition teacher stresses me out now.
why? cuz it means i have to ask him for tuiton money every single month.
it's never been like that though. i've never thought twice before asking for money.
and it's not like there's financial difficulty or something.
in fact, it's the otherway round considering the fact that my brother's going to the army soon and there's no need to pay for his school fees or anything for that matter.

maybe it's cuz i've matured. i don't know...maybe.
i just feel bad spending so much all the time.
i've been given everything i've wanted all my life and all of a sudden it just seems that i don't know...that i've been asking for too much?

hahahahaha. suddenly a thought struck.
maybe i'm turning into a cheapo like nat and sandra. HAHAHAHAHA.
but nope...i still don't think i'm a cheapo.
i'm by far too generous to be a cheapo.
hahahahaha. and idon't think i can live being a cheapo.
it'd mean no cabs and no spending as and when i feel like it :)

nah...life will be too dull being a cheapo :)


oh yea...by the way i think i look awfully disgusting in my new uniform. my blouse is too big, and the tailor altered my skirt too short :(
so it looks really wierd now.

a girl got laid in a tomb and soon she became a mummy.(go figure)

it's the holidays! woots!
hahaha haven't been blogging since the holidays started.
so much to do and so little time!

sooo monday.
cycling with the cousins :)
had lots and lots of fun - though my butt would say otherwise.
hahahaha.
spent like half a day at east coast and the weather was a terror.
ha...no pictures yet cuz fidel has yet to send me the pictures!
then mcafe for coffee and we walked the way back to parkway for fish and co :)
i came home as red as a lobster.
almost every exposed part of me was red - face, arms, legs (my thighs were burnt too!), and i swear even my scalp was a little red.
i absolutely refused to peel so i conditioned my hair with so much conditioner it took me forever to wash it off.
moisturised my face like very hour, and i had soooo much moisturiser on my arms and legs too.
lol :)
but thank god i didn't peel. and i can live with the tan depite the fact that i AM tan.


tuesday.
was supposed to go out with sandra to do her appeal rubbish then town.
but i got so pissed with her so it was a day at home.

wednesday.
town with melody in the afternoon.
we watched music and lyrics with the free passes val gave me :)
but just for the record, i didn't really like the show.
it was an OK show. pursuit of happyness was so much nicer :)
there are so many nice movies i wanna watch!
stomp the yard, freedom writers, shrek 3, and because i said so.
i have a strong feeling freedom writers's gonna be a good movie :)

ok back to wed.
so shopped around town after the movie.
got a top from topshop. a rather basic one though.
WHICH caused me heartache because on thurs there was a private sale at isetan and they had topshop there and there was a 30% discount!
and i bought it 1 day too early! it hasn't even hit the wash yet! :(
oh well...borders had a 20% off all items for students :)
from cds to books to stuff from paperchase!
so i bought a book which i wanted to buy a week ago so the waiting paid off.
wanted another stripey notebook from paperchase but it was like $26 so i didn't. but i regret not getting it though...
oh well i'll get one from prints :)

left town at 6.30 for bedok to have dinner at 85 with g8 but without nicole.
haha kinda given up on trying to contact nicole since she's always MIA.
supposed to meet at 6.45 but we only had everyone there past 7.30.
see why i only left town at 6.30?
BECAUSE I'D BE WAITING FOR THEM AS USUAL.
hahahaha. met sandra at interchange and went there together.
got there past 7 and we were still the 1st!
hahaha and it was sandra's 1st time waiting for others and not the other way round.
dinner was good :) though i didn't get to eat my stingray...
i miss catching up with my darlings :)
we have to have more get togethers like this. just 1 meal so everyone can make it.
next get together: ikea!

thursday.
supposed to go to tpjc to get the ugly school tee with sandra then town.
but as usual she was late.
and so late i got so pissed i told her to just stay home.
so i got the tee alone since i was already there.
met joshua on the way out...hahaha he had a haircut and i couldn't recognise him.
saw this guy waving in my direction and i couldn't see his face cuz the sun was behind him la..plus his new haircut made him look different.
so i turned around to see if he was waving to someone else. LOL.

headed to town after that. checked out the private sale at isetan.
the sale included topshop too, but like i said, HEARTBREAK. :(
hahaha. wanted to get this top from mango which was on sale too but to was way too ex. $120. any sponsors? call 1800-makejerinehappy for a $50 donation.
but i got a pair of shorts and 2 tees from outfitter girls. i don't know why i bought the tees though. didn't really like them that much.
hahaha...i guess it was an itch to spend money.

i think i've been spending way too much on unneccessary stuff i feel poor.
solution? ask for more money :)
either that go just go out with my mum cuz she'll pay for everything :)


having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool.

eat right, exercise, die anyway.

school's out :)

and so is my voice. lol.
orientation was fun and all but really tiring. felt shagged at the end of each day.
and i never knew i could shout so hard that i get really sharp pains in my head which last for about 10 seconds every single time i shout. or scream.
nearly fainted when i ignored the pains. blah...i got scared but for blackbeard, it was worth it :)

my voice stared all right at the start of the second day and was gone even before half the day went by.
could barely speak by the time i came home and had a fever that night.
so it means no school the next day :(
last day of orientation! i wasn't there when blackbeard won!

my dearest OG38, you guys did really well and i'm really proud of you guys! especially those who made the most out of the 3 days and enjoyed yourselves :)
OG 38 we played a part in making blackbeard the most outstanding family and i'm so proud we came in 5th for the amazing race on the 2nd day though it was supposed to be 4th.
BUT at least we're the top 5 among 40 groups :)
that's gotta be an achievement.
WELL DONE GUYS :)

hahaha i swear being an OGL was like being a mother. or a maid for that matter.
but i won't dwell on the shit that we got and the whole lot of scoldings.
i had a mix of cooperative and not so cooperative people in my group but it was great :)
i learnt heaps and had a whole lot of fun :)

yesterday was a good day :)
though i won't elaborate...
anyways, we're trying to plan a dinner at 85 this week.
interested? msg me ;)
and nat, yes i know you are gounded (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) but just dinner?
sounds like i'm finding joy in her misery but i think her mum's funny :)

cycling at east coast tomorrow! i can't wait :)

and i need to buy my uniform soon.
putting it off will not change the fact that i am stucked in tpjc for the next 2 years.


i can only please one person a day. today isn't your day and tomorrow doesn't look good either.

when rats leave a sinking ship, where exactly do they think they're going?

i'm back :)
so much has happened in the past week. i wont go into that much details.
so chinese new year is over! not the whole 15 days but still...the official holidays.
somehow or rather i received a whole lot less red packets this year. though i've get to open them they do look really miserable.

i was supposed to go to hong kong last friday with my extended family cause my grandma was sick and someone had to take over her place.
but nooooooo, for some reason i know not, i said no.
don't ask. i nearly beat myself up over it.
could have skipped school and all.

to comfort myself i asked sandra out on sat :)
hahaha...we shopped a whole lot and bought lots of stuff too:)
life's good when you have friends working and slacking when you're in school!
but school's going to start soon for everyone next week except the people going to poly - which basically means everyone's going to be slacking while val sandra nat and i start mugging.

the time's gonna come when all of us are in schools and it'd be so damn difficult to get together.
i miss them :(

i still don't know where i want to go.
fickel as i am, i'm having second thoughts about tpjc again.
ugh....should have just left my 1st choice as cjc.
oh well. if god wants me to go to cj then he'll let my 2nd application fail.
okokok....when i think about it i really think i should have gone to cj.

on the last day of the application.

during chinese eunice and i were helping me decide if i should change my 1st application.
so we tore a whole foolscap into small pieces with cjc and tpjc on them.
pick 3, the result: CJC.

not convinced, we flipped a coin.
the result: CJC.

still not convinced.
me: god, if you want me to go to cj please send a bird flying past in the next 10 seconds.
result: a bird. (CJC)

STILL not convinced.
so i cabbed home, rushing to make it back in time to change my application, BARELY reaching home in time.
hint: CJC.

nooooo stupid me still didn't get it.
so i made the application and everything.
fine.
10 minutes later, some moe person call to tell me i didn't complete the submission.
i should have gotten the hint my now that maybe i'm meant for cj.
nooooooo i argued with the stupid woman that i clicked submit and that i have the verification from.

oh my god!
so dumb. maybe i was really meant to go to cj and god wanted me there!
oh well we'll pray for the best.

and something really weird!
both my ex-principles from my primary school died on the same day.
(though i don't know one of them.)
freaky?

and it's so weird.
i graduated from primary school after primary 6 right? and my principle took over for only 4 years. after i graduated, she got cancer. so there was a change in principle the year after my last year when i was in sec 1.
THEN in sac, j lo took over as principle the year we entered. after 4 years, we graduated. the year after we left, nobody has seen her in school because she's suffering from cancer. and after 4 years, the year right after we graduate, sac's gonna have a new principle.

you see the pattern?
its freaky!
hahahahaha....

just in case i don't update anytime soon,

happy birthday sandra!
happy birthday valerie!

love you babes loads :)
