Wonderful memories ...

Hiiii, back again (:
Been a pretty long week for me, which equals to a longer post this time around!
Well, let's start with the only sad thing worth mentioning. Hmm, I got 27 for my L1R5, how the hell am I gonna get into Poly? I gave up on JC, I know I can't handle the stress there, but if i can't even enter Poly, I can only go to ITE. I'm not saying ITE isn't good (afew note-worthy people came from there), but I don't wanna waste my 2years in ITE, if I can head to Poly straight. Sadly, instead of encouraging me, my parents and my silbings did the reverse. My dad said I had better check out what ITE has to offer, my mum told me to go to ITE if I can't enter a good course in Poly, my silbings mocked me and said ITE = IS THE END. Haiz. I can only count on myself and my friends to tide me over this stressful period. You know, if I ever get a 6 for my L1R5, I would not give much credit to my parents ... after all, I was the one who helped myself, what they said, what they did, didn't even motivate me at all.

Now ... for the good events that happened in the past week.


I attended my CHINESE ORCHESTRA PASS OUT PARADE (CO POP) held for the graduating batch. As I wasn't really close to many people, I was easily forgotten most of the time and I wasn't expecting much for this POP. However, this time, they made an effort to include me in the tribute video and the role-play. Which were the two main highlights of the POP. My astonsishment lasted till I reached home. It was really a shock to me. During dinner, my section bought a cake and we took some pictures as well. I received a box of FERRERO ROCHER, some sweets and a card from my juniors as my present. YEAH! THANK YOU JUNIORS for making this POP so memorable to me!! :D


On the 7th of June, I topped my EMATHS TEST FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SECONDARY SCHOOL, 37/45!!! I was so bewildered and ecstatic, nothing could make me unhappy for that whole day! Well, this could prove to my parents that I still had a chance to do well for my O'levels, but I resisted myself from bragging to them. Firstly, even if I told them, they would just nod their heads and not encourage me further. It would still be up to me. Now, they care more for my sister, who's been doing well in her studies. I think they kinda gave up hope on me. Oh well, it's better, I have less stress from them. Secondly, till now, they think I'm dumb. Maybe if I do not drop any hints that I'm improving, I may be able to stun them with my brilliant O'level results I've attained (YES, I'm still being optimistic, and hoping I can get at least a 10). Hah, imagine the look on their faces! Thirdly, the test was on COORDINATE GEOMETRY, my FAVOURITE TOPIC in E & AMATHS, so I didn't want to think too much about it. I mean, since it's my favourite topic, there's no excuse for scoring badly. It's the same as telling my parents I came in first for an Ice-cream eating competition. LOL, HAHAH, yes, I LOVE ICE-CREAM!!!



Was clearing my mini cupboard of rubbish, (my study table is just too untidy!) and I found this minute stone that brings lots of memories at NEPAL. I went there last year in November with other student leaders. I pocketed this stone after we had a fun time throwing stones into the sea, and for remembrance, I picked this stone up. It may be small, but it can bring back those wonderful and unhappy memories. Though most of them were memories that I wish I could store them in my head forever. Haiz. *start remincising*



My mum bought a book stand for me from online, I think it's via GMARKET (they changed the name to something else and I forgot what it's called). It's in pastel blue and it's so pretty! You can put a storybook, textbook, your tablet and more. The possibilites are endless! LOL, no luhh, there's a limit, heheh. Oh, did I mention I adore pastel colours? On seeing pastel colours, I become happy no matter what foul mood I was in. Or maybe that's cause I'm mercurial. Hmm. I have mood swings, sometimes. I can get very agitated one minute, and the next minute, I'm back to my usual chirpy self. Very weird.






OH, my BEST, FAVOURITE MEMORY of the week!!! I went to SCAPE after my backbone check-up, with my bestie, SHIYA! She really is a wonderful friend. We bought many things and I had many grabs from the flea market there! You can see an assortment of stuff in the picture on your left but lemme tell you as well. Heheh.

I bought ...
~ A halter dress
~ 2 handphone dust caps
~ 3 packets of STICKY
~ A charm bracelet
~ A two-finger ring
~ A stylus (notice it's in pastel blue?)
~ 3 pairs of earrings


Not bad eh, for a few hours of shopping? Heheh. Kay, I shall end off by posting a compliation of my favourite pictures with her.

At a glance. Actually, after a read.

Finally! Could find the time to use the computer and blog! All right, have lotsa things to talk about since my last post in like what, a week ago?


Well, I did my English Prelim Oral in style at Starbucks, Yishun Northpoint! I reached there at 9am, while ZiHui reached there an hour earlier. We decided to meet earlier to do some revision so I did my Maths Tutor to recap. Then shortly around 11am, WeiLun, YiYang, KuanEn and WeiXiang joined us. However, the most important person, Miss Angelia Wong, was late! And she was about an hour late! LOL. Then she bought drinks and desserts for all of us, costing a mini bomb of around $50! The worst thing was nobody wanted to eat them, so instead of wasting those yummy appetisers, heheh, I gladly tucked into them. I had a wonderful, heavy lunch of Starbucks, and I fell into love with the Ice Blended White Mocha ... -->


Hmm, I read the whole trilogy of the 'Fifty Shades' already, it was just so addictive and compelling! Though it is erotic with themes like sadism and masochism, but the storyline is the one that caught my attention. It seems fairly realistic ...yet unreal. The story starts like this : Anastasia, the protagonist, went to conduct an interview with Christian, the most eligible bachelor in her state. She finds herself attracted to his good looks yet at the same time, deeply intimdating. Little did she know, Christian is attracted to her as well, but in another way kinda impossible to believe, given his stature. Oh well, Christian started to woo her (in layman terms), but not realising that she would change his whole life in a way unexpected to him. FOREVER.
Hmm, sounds interesting right? You know, I've even written a review on it, to help dispel the negative critiques that 'Fifty Shades' is a book too mature for teens with too much sexual content. There are takeaways that we can learn from the trilogy as well. But I don't know what to do with my review now. I don't think I can just send in the review to any newspaper or magazine ... or can I? Haiz. I think I should seriously consider a career in journalism, I just LOVE scripting novels or maybe even writing a column. Hmm.
Oh, by the way, the picture on the left is of the last book in the trilogy, 'Fifty Shades Freed'. Thinking about this, I can apply English Literature skills to discuss the significance of the titles for all three books, heheh.


Oh, I have a new hobby! And that is collecting cute cartoon A4 folder files! I just can't resist the adorable images of various cartoon characters so I started buying them impulsively. But each costs the most $2, if it's too expensive, I don't think anyone will buy ... except maybe me, cause it's now my 'weakness'. I will definitely add more additions to my wonderful collection. There! My whole collection up to date -->


My yoghurt no more! Boo hoo! *cries* This is my first time I tried this yoghurt and I have to say it is just mouth-watering! I think it is nicer than the MEIJI one, just saying luhh, from my own opinion. I will confirm buy this yoghurt again! It can be eaten for breakfast and is a yummy dessert after dinner as well. Thumbs-up!





Hmm, on Monday, I had a English Literature seminar at STU, Raffles Place, and after the seminar, I had lunch with three people, which I had to admit, I didn't expect myself to. Jing Wen, Jia Yi and Vivien. Jing Wen and I met them Jia Yi and Vivien somewhere along a long stretch of food stalls. All of us were strolling with a purpose in mind : to find affordable food that we can eat. You know, Raffles is not a place for students or people with holes in their pockets! You'll need at least $8 for something filling. Well, what can we expect, it's in the CBD area. We caught up with each other figuratively, talking about school, how our school management is totally screwed up, blah blah blah. It was a joy to relax and just chill. And I didn't go for my English supplementary, heheh. English just can't be taught, it's either you have a good grasp of English, or you don't.

Then Tuesday, after Lit seminar as well, we ate Subway. Surprisingly, it was fairly empty, with the occasional customers. JiaYi, Vivien and I were their BEST customers. We hogged their tables for the longest time, chatting away, heheh. Oh, Vivien is such a good astronomer. JOKING! She just knows a lot about astrology. And she can read the Stars. Hmm, she told us what our signs meant and I have to say she's quite good. Vivien read everything about our signs by heart! Maybe she can further a career in this aspect, if there are even such careers, heheh.

All right, I think this is my longest post to date, hahah. Shall end here, seeya soon!~
