early in the morning

2012-01-30T06:34:00.002+08:00

I was so tired that I slept at 9.30pm last night.

Yes, the outcome is: I woke up at 5.30am this morning.

Sitting in front of the computer finishing my final preparation.

Since when I have not forced myself from waking up so early.

I like the early morning, it is so quiet.

AND THE TIME IS YOURS.

Kinokuniya is a great bookstore.

I love it!

Early in the morning I talk about random stuff.

Now, it is time to prepare for school :)

Stay tune for my update!

My 18th birthday

2012-01-18T19:25:00.002+08:00

18 this number is so special. Because it seems like you can do anything when you are 18, I mean those that are legal and morally acceptable. This year, I'm 18. I don't have a great birthday party with friends and families but lovely wishes from them. My guardian bought me a cake and asked me to share it with my friends, and I did. Thanks James for the black forest cake! It was so impromptu.

Besides warm wishes, I have also received some presents from my friends. :) Thank you so much for your wonderful cards and presents. My ex-roommate, current roommate and sister also bought me a tiramisu cake.

18 is a turning point in life. It reminds of doing things maturely, learn something consistently, work harder for a better future.

I attended NCC training today. We did not really teach them marching but distribute the uniforms to them. Mr. Johnson told us that we need to maintain a culture called the PASS IT ON CULTURE. It means that seniors have to teach the juniors of what we learnt, batches by batches. I found it really meaningful because this is how education, more specifically knowledge and skills are passed down to the next generation. I hope that I can contribute to NCC and teach my juniors of what I have learnt so far.

YEAH

2012-01-07T22:47:00.007+08:00

YEAH! WIFI is now ready to be used. No more nightmares, no more feeling guilty when asking my friends for broadband just to check emails.

First week of school, the IB induction programme was amazing. Teachers brief us about what are we going to encounter in future. I missed EE and TOK lessons so I think I need to catch up with my classmates when I'm back.

Good news is our school has gone to a whole new level for the IB results, last year the highest point was 39 and this year, Jun En, our senior got 42 points. It is a great improvement and I hope that it will be a trend and in 2013, I will score a 45 points for it. IB is hard, to score 45 points is harder than flying a pig up in the sky. Anyway I will try my best to get that score.

IGCSE results will be out very soon. I'm so nervous.

Life is all about challenging yourself. If you don't try, how would you know you can't handle?

Let the colours burn

2012-01-02T20:30:00.002+08:00

I went to Marina Barrage for a picnic with HCIS Residence boarders yesterday. It was my second time going there as the first time was with my ex-roommates. Hmmm this time was pretty interesting because we have around 30 boarders going together. We played kites, ate sanwiches, took photos and most importantly, I successfully flied a kite! Sometimes, successfully flying a kite is happier than earning more money. That's what you call minor success in life. It can heap up to a great success. :)

I'm still desperately waiting for the internet in the new residence to be done. Can't live without internet and I need to keep borrowing broadbands from my friend. OH, PLS, GET IT DONE BY TMW.

My one week life in the new residence was really fascinating! Three consecutive days of being an emcee and cheerleader and logistics person is tiring but FUN. Learnt alot in the process and of course, it helps me in improving my speaking skills and the way I conduct the games. I will try harder and better next time! Moreover working with awesome mentors and seniors in the residence is a precious pleasure.

School starts tomorrow. One month of school holiday has just passed like a flash of lightning. It is just too fast. But I have tried my best to utilise my holidays and make sure I did not waste every single day. Thank mummy for accompanying me for the entire holiday :) I love you mum!

Mummy, you are the best person that I have never had. MUACKS!

Life will not get easier.
Why not make the colours burn,
and ignite the light in your life to make it WONDERFUL?

Happy New Year

2012-01-01T09:59:00.002+08:00

Believe it or not, time flies.
Today is the 1st of January 2012. A brand new year. This year's new year is special, I celebrated in the new HCIS residence with my friends. I used to stay at home with my family. Hmmm it was a wonderful experience for me, spending my new year with my mentors and boarding mates. Yes, we had group games and singing night yesterday to end 2012. I almost lose my voice talking in the activity hall which reflects sound----echo.

New year, some might feel really excited, some might feel neutral. For me, every day is a new year because there is a saying change now or not. If you realised the mistake, change now but not procrastinate it until the next year and you start murmuring about how regretful you are.

We had a crazy night indeed. Time to think about how must I make every day better than yesterday :)

Two photos to end my post.

My sister and I. (Yes, don't remind me. I'm shorter than her)
My roommate and I.... :)

Happy New Year guys :)

New Boarding Life

2011-12-31T01:21:00.004+08:00

WOW. Finally I'm here. I have been waiting for so long for the WIFI of my new residence to be done. However, it is still installing by the technician. I'm using my friend's broadband just to check emails, read my 50 notifications on facebook and UPDATE my blog. I have moved into the new residence in my school on the 26th, with tears. I miss my home sweet home.

The new residence is very nice. Everything is new, of course since it is new there are still some facilities that have not yet been installed. But it is comfortable indeed. Air conditioned, well-furnitured. Room is quite small but decent. Wonderful roommate too.

Checked the school website. I will be in Pre-U1E next year. Some new classmates, new teachers, new syllabus. Not sure if it will be as fun and as hard as I expected. Talked to few seniors and I was highly-encouraged to study hard, be consistent and score well for a good university. Thank you seniors!

Okay, today we just had an orientation programme in the residence. I was the emcee. I used all my strength to TALK, yes talk. And I guess I was pretty successful in conducting the games with the Chief governor a.k.a. my partner, Zhu Xuan. I enjoy being an emcee, because I am given the chance to know more people, build up friendships with each other etc.

Something has been perplexing me for so long. SHOULD I?

Some pictures here to end my post.

Cluster decoration :)

Good night everyone. It's 1.52am. 31st of January. The last day of 2011. Sweet dreams!

anything better than my life?

2011-12-21T20:47:00.007+08:00

I can't think of anything better than my life.
I would not want to make the time stop because I love my future.
I would not want to rewind my life because I love them as memories.

Some people work very hard towards their goal but they fail.
Some people got help from others and they accomplished their goal.
I have never failed in life.
Not because I did not fail,
but when I fail,
my family, teachers and friends will always stand right next to me

and this makes me can't think of any reason not to say that I'm actually a winner.
Nothing makes me feel better than getting support and help when I'm down.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daddy, the one that do all the jobs just to ensure I'm rich enough to consume education.
Mummy, the one that do all the chores just to make sure I'm healthy and happy.
Sister, the one that give me all the supports, encouragement and a real heart when things happen.

Although things can't be perfect all the time.
But you can change your definition for perfect accordingly.
Everyone dies.
It is just a matter of time.

But their story, their love, their soul will still stay right next to you
Even
if the sky is falling.

Cherish the love now
Not LATER.

Because you would not know if there is a later later.

这个世界是美好的

2011-12-18T11:45:00.006+08:00

这个世界是美好的。

经济存在着富者越富贫者越贫的体系，这一种体系叫做M字型社会。社会就是因为在这种体系下运作，大亨可以随意挥霍金钱，100块对他们来说根本就是杯水车薪，而穷人可以穷到被饿死。有的人做工做得很辛苦，但是收入却慢慢增加。有的人随便洗一洗黑钱，收入翻倍增长。你叫我们这些奉公守法赚钱的人情何以堪。

再说，为什么消防员的薪水会比一个政治人物来得少？既然大家都是公务员，为什么差别那么大。前者冒着生命危险去救人，后者又救了什么人。除非你告诉我贪污逼人从14楼跳下来这些也算。看，这世界本来就存在着问题，刺激经济发展的商人赚的永远比消防人员甚至医生来得多。难道人类的生命不比金钱来得重要吗？他们告诉你是。

更丢脸的是，从国库里拿100块派给学生。什么时候派钱变成一种牌糖果博选票的方式了？白白浪费了亿万个100块啊。这些100块其实可以让他们成立一个奖学金基金会，把它用在有才人的身上，而不是阿狗阿猫也派。

你买东西的时候有没有谴责过经济？为什么一颗蚂蚁大小的钻石可以比一桶水贵？但是人类没有砖石是可以活下去的，没有了水肯定死，但现实却把水弄得一文不值？

为什么有钱人就可以进高等学府，而不是有才的人？才钱兼备才是关键。

这个世界是美好的。

是一个问题来的。

Update

2011-12-10T22:55:00.004+08:00

I named this post as 'update' because it has been awhile that I have not updated anything about my recent life. I just went for a short Taiwan trip, more specifically, Taipei. It was marvellous, 8 marvellous days I had. Anyway sorry to disappoint you if you are thinking that I'm going to blog about the 8 days trip in Taiwan now. Of course, I will write something more about this trip,but not now. LOL. It has been almost five years my family and I have not spent our holidays together. So, the Taiwan trip was really a memorable one!

Next, I have been reading since the school holiday starts, and watching movies too. Totally agree that a short respite and reading books will bring someone to a whole new world, a whole new perspective towards life. Although the future is still blur, but I can feel the direction and the way out by sensing it with my hands. And this is what you call experience.

A couple of things have been perplexing me. You know, I can't believe that a teenager can be tired of replying emails and thinking stuff about school during the holiday. "Chances are for people that prepare earlier than others". Sometimes I'm just too indecisive. Can't really measure or choose what I should do and what I should not. Putting everything on my shoulders is what I used to do and I tell myself I will never do it again. It is time to think and consider seriously, is what you are doing what you enjoy? Is what you are doing getting you to where you want to end?

Secondly, I need to learn how to take things easily. Easily as in try to receive it and conquer it with a positive attitude. When facing problems, don't solve it with your emotion. Cool down and think. Seek for advices and help. Don't blame yourselves or others first. "Every problem will come to an end, it is just the matter of time".

At least, I am now trying to figure out the possibilities of courses that I am going to take in future. At least, I have decided the subjects that I am going to study for IB. At least, I am reading for my future career. "Things just get done by itself when it is time".

Thumbs up if you think that the quotes I wrote are awesome!

L.O.V.E.

2011-12-02T02:23:00.005+08:00

I'm a lucky girl. With so much love surrounding me. Family, teachers and friends.

Love is a passion, an attitude which you present it to someone that you can't live without.

It is not as easy as ABC, it is not just a yes or no.

It is much more than that.

Last Monday night

2011-11-21T23:35:00.002+08:00

Time really flies. Just in a blink of eye, I have stayed in HCIBS for two years. Two whole years, with alot of ups and downs, joy and tears. Now, I have to move out and move into our new boarding school that will be ready on the 26th of December. Of course, in this room, there are alot of stories, people, things that I will miss and remember for the rest of my life. My ex-mentor who is so caring and lovely, my roommates who are friendly......

Every single thing I will miss. Something that I couldn't forget. My first spot in Singapore--HCIBS. After packing my stuffs, it is time to leave. Back to my home country for one month and come back again. New life, IB, activities, results, new friends etc. I miss my friends that have left the school, I miss my teachers that will not be teaching me next year.

I am spending my last Monday night in HCIBS. Looking around, staring at the ceiling, trying to fall asleep. I miss HCIBS, I miss my room, I miss everything. B3L02A

And now, it is time to let go.

unofficial last day of IGCSE

2011-11-10T19:18:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow will be having my unofficial last paper for IGCSE as next week will be having 45 minutes MCQ papers for Chemistry, Physics and Economics. Shouldn't be having the MCQ papers next week, it distracts me from studying. LOL.
Holiday is here, going to pre-u 2 next year. Can't believe I'm turning older. Have so much things to do after IGCSE. Keep on planning different things for myself, on one hand is to prepare for next year, on the other hand is to fully utilize my time so that it will not get wasted.
Have too much things to say to my teachers that have taught me, have too much things to talk to my friends which are leaving and staying. Will miss them alot since we are classmates for one year.

Sweet memories are hurtful.

然而有一种独立的语言

2011-11-09T13:17:00.004+08:00

每一个人有自己独立的语言。如果你说的是一种语言，只有和你语言相似的人会了解你，会明白你做事情的态度，动机。可是往往要寻找和你相同语言的人是一件那么困难的事情。全球人口高达70亿，在茫茫人海中，能够找到一个和你相同语言的机率到底有多高用机率算一算，1/70亿根本就是杯水车薪。曾经感叹为什么要寻找和自己语言相似的人那么困难。有一种语言，不用任何沟通就可以感应他们就是你的家人，有一种语言勉强可以沟通，他们是和你共事的人，有一种语言就算怎么翻译也不明白，他们就是你生活中令你烦恼的小群体。

我曾经很在乎寻找一个和自己语言相通的人，但是经过了几年后，不是放弃，而是觉得这是不可能的。或许刚刚开始，你觉得你们的语言是可以沟通的，但是过了一段日子之后，却发现大家相交之后，走的却是越来越远的路。我没有要求任何人接受我的意见，因为成熟的思想有些人是根本不能承受的。我没有要求任何人和我的想法一样，因为有想法的人有些人是不会了解的。我不能忘记当初立下志愿要经营事业的我，我更不能因为环境而被一些无谓的思想给污染。曾经以为成熟的人，其实还不是一样幼稚。自我反省是很重要的。可以迎合，但不能忘记本我。

现在我看清一种社会上的常态。
有一种是普通人。
有一种是满足人。
有一种是颓废人。
有一种是成功人。

成功人的语言永远都是独立的，没有人会明白，因为他们选择不同的路不同的想法不同的生活。

Follow your heart

2011-10-30T20:53:00.002+08:00

You will regret in everything you do.
Unless

You follow your heart.

I'll be having Math paper 4, Econ paper 3, History and English papers this coming week. I was studying History for the past few days, and didn't really touch other subjects. The toturing week will be the week after where I will be sitting for Business, Physics, Physics Practical that I would likely to screw up, Additional Mathematics that I didn't even revise for the past two weeks. That is suffocating enough.

Finger crossed that my doubts on Physics and Amath could be cleared by this week and I will be using the weekends to really revise not study. You'll know the difference if you are a consistent person.

I do what I want when I want to do what I want. Once I'm satisfied of what I have done, I can only move on without looking back.

Norm

2011-10-29T18:28:00.006+08:00

This always happen when I'm having exam. Regardless it is a major one, or even a class test. When I am sitting for the tests, I will always think of what I can do after it.
Yes, now, I'm thinking what I can do after IGCSE. The feeling that blocks me from moving forward, firstly is the stress that I will be facing next year when the result is announced. This is because I can't accept that I did not do well in this exam that I have prepared for so long. Secondly, will be the Chemistry practical that I have screwed up last week. It resists me from having confidence and good mood during exam. This is what you feel when you expect too much and didn't acheive what you expected. Anyway, I should move on right? And do well for the rest of my exams so that I won't regret. Thirdly, will be the Chinese IGCSE result that I have received. I failed to accomplish my goal. That's why, I feel so stress. But I promise myself, hopefully, this will not happen next year.

Talk about what I want to do after exam. There are too much things. Travel, Flying machine, piano covers, some secret plans that cannot be revealed (hehe) etc. Went to Jurong East today for an introductory session for the flying machine competition. It was so far! I really envy those people that own a car, and I set a goal: I need to buy a car once I have money! Of course, given the condition that I pass the driving exam.

Sometimes, when I study I feel the power of inspiration.
Sometimes, when I talk to someone, I feel the power of inspiration.
Although it is abstract, you can actually touch it, feel it and keep it.

那一瞬间的领悟，耐人寻味。

Let me end this post by sharing a quote from the former CEO of Coca-Cola:

A value is a value if its value is valued.

Encouragement

2011-10-26T17:49:00.001+08:00

This is a post that is for myself.
I need to tell myself stay calm in every examination.
Do not get nervous or panic since you have studied them for one year and a half, almost two years.
YES.

I CAN DO WELL.

Countdown

2011-10-23T19:56:00.002+08:00

Countdown one and a half day to IGCSE :D
I know four weeks will just be like a blink of eye.
I know four weeks is so short that you will not even realize that it has just passed.
I know four weeks will start and end like a flash of lightning.

IGCSE is like a roller coaster. You start slow, end fast.
Trust me.

Are you ready to dash and crash like a mad bull?

Dizzy

2011-10-21T12:16:00.002+08:00

Rainy day + medicine make me dizzy every day.

It is time to get back to track, holding IGCSE textbooks and start studying like

THERE IS NO TOMORROW.

on leave

2011-10-19T11:16:00.001+08:00

A: Hey Pui Yee, how's exam preparation going?
Me: Prepare? For Exam? Why?
A: Thought you are having your study leave?
Me: Yup, study leave. I'm on leave. So, what to study?
A: .........

COUGH

2011-10-17T12:22:00.001+08:00

Initially was just a sore throat, after three days of antibiotic pills thought I will get better. Yes, it did. After few days, I feel the pain in my throat again. Now, I'm having a bad cough.

Save me from myself. I won't be sick during IGCSE!

Promise

2011-10-13T08:45:00.002+08:00

One more torturing week to the most toturous IGCSE exam. I was feeling a bit sick for the past two days, sore throat and running nose. Feeling better after forcing myself to wake up at 7.30am every day to go to gym and spend at least 30 minutes. I realized after quiting gym for like half a year, I have more energy to run. HAHA yes, this is called energy conservation. But then, I can't do 30 crunches at one go anymore. It indicates that I really need to continue if not, I will have a big tummy. NO WAY :(

I am considering of what subjects to take for IB next year. It is pretty confusing because I need to choose the subjects that I am interested in and good at it. Initially I wanted to study engineering so badly if you follow my blog regularly, but now, I seem to change my fast-changing mind. Maybe engineer doesn't really suit me because it is a very technical job and I don't really enjoy it. Instead, I like courses like Economics, Law, Accountancy etc. They seems 'real' subjects to me, not very practical for the middle one. But the most important element: more socialising. Besides, I am still thinking of taking Chinese as HL or Lang and Lit SL because for the former I will have more time to study other subjects and do my CAS and you can put it as I have less subjects to study. For the latter because of bilingual-diploma that will be offered by Cambridge. Someone told me that not to aim for it or aim for 45 points because the learning process during IB is the most important. The most essential part is you enjoy learning everything you choose in IB not because of the prestigious award or anything, which is true.

Anyway I can still think about it after my IGCSE. One more week to IGCSE. I'm so nervous. I'm totally running out of time! Hope I will say: Gotcha! My A*s! next year when I get my results.

Hard work pays.

Be yourself

2011-09-25T20:41:00.003+08:00

当你说「想做回原本的自己」,会不会你只是在找藉口,逃避现在的自己?

若是怀念想逃就逃想恨就恨的日子,你随时都可以这样做,只要明白这样做的后果,也都会成为你的人生。

人生如河,每秒流动,你永远不可能再踩进同样的水裡。

每个阶段的你都是你,没有那个传说中「原本的你」啊。

If you say you want to be yourself, is it just a pretext for yourself to escape from what you are?
If you think of the past times when you can escape whenever you want, do whatever you think, you can do it anytime, but you have to know the consequences, and what you did will be part of your life.
Life is like a riptide, it flows every second, you could not step on the same water.

何苦

2011-09-24T21:01:00.004+08:00

听着梁静茹唱的梦醒时分，突然间真的很想用久违的华文来写一篇，很长很长的文章。其实我不知道自己是不是真的喜欢英文，还是是为了学习而学习。当初下定决心要来到新加坡念书，为的就只是让自己把英文给学好，将来要在英国等大学学习的时候会比较得心应手。大考要来了，心中有一种莫名的痛苦。痛苦是来自很多最近发生的事情。我不知道我对生活到底是怎么定义的。为什么有的人可以到了紧要关头还可以当作什么也没有发生，继续最他不应该做的事情。为什么有的人可以迷迷糊糊过着他自己认为很好的生活。这些人是真的开心还是其实他们尝试在痛苦中寻找快乐。没有人能理解我，或许我真的不容易被理解。为什么人生总是需要成就来变得精彩？过得平凡不就好？还是环境影响了最初的自己？要的到底是快乐还是成功？两个都要是不是太贪心了？曾经要把自己的人生定义好，可是总是难以下手。人生是一个多么大的学问。学会做人，处事。现在的自己，正在追求更高的成就。往往绊脚石总在你面前，他人的意见会影响你的决定，到后来发现做的决定根本不是自己想要的，那要怪自己为什么当初选择听他人的劝导。纯粹因为是你长辈，还是你根本不知道自己要的是什么。不想，不想说。真的。可是为什么人的心胸总是要那么狭小，为什么就是要隐瞒，为什么就是金钱交易，为什么就是自私自利，为什么就是不能真诚待人，为什么就不能。那一层隔膜，总是拿不下来。为什么就是那么不懂得醒觉？我没有得罪你你为什么对我冷漠？跟你说了需要进步，为什么你总是不理不睬的。这个叫做皇上不急太监急啊。最近有人对我做了一件事情，我真的睡不着。现在我的情况还算比较好了，至少他没有一直在我的思想内。拒绝，是多么困难的事。尤其是爱情这一块，总是那么复杂。拒绝又怕对方伤心，怕对方不了解。不拒绝对方就会穷追不舍，搞得自己专心不了。这到底什么一回事自己也不清楚。第一次经历，就是这样。让我最痛苦的事，最近发生了一些事情，一些觉得自己发现得太迟的事情。对当事人没有讨厌，只是感叹为什么就不找点说。或许最近自己真的压力很大，突然觉得自己有太多事物需要进步，需要解决，需要面对。

既然不能，为什么一往情深。
既然不能，为什么穷追不舍。
既然不能，为什么坚持下去。

人生如此，何苦。

Teddy bears

2011-09-23T22:28:00.002+08:00

I love keychains. Especially those with cute soft toys on it. I have one hanging on my pencil case, a rabbit. It was a present given to me by one of my aunts. I like it so much!
Today after my prelim.....I just dashed off like a person running for her flight. Went to WWW and Orchard. Guess what, I saw these two cute teddy bears :) Hand-made teddiessss :)
They are so cute. So I bought them back.

I'll update my blog soon about what did I do and experienced today :)

SMILE

2011-09-22T18:55:00.007+08:00

I like my SMILE here. :)

Alright, Prelim is ending soon. Now, I'm learning to write simple short sentences. Not long and tedious ones. And, yes, I'm trying very hard to buck up my English in three weeks time to prepare for my actual exam. YES, it is IGCSE. I'm so worried now. Hope my hardwork pays.

How was Prelim? Hmmm this is a question which seems to be hard for me to answer. I do not know what's the result. But, I've really tried my best. Here's the subject analysis:

English: I know I really need to work exquisitely hard for this. At least an A for IGCSE.

Math: The paper was alright. A* I hope. Top of world? depends.

History: Fair paper. The questions were extracted from past year papers. I was able to do it.

Physics: A simple paper with overloading questions. Can't finish it. Bad time management.

Chemistry: I was discussing the answer with Mr. Oon, and found out that I have some incomplete answers. Fingers crossed. I need an A* for this. My Chem practical was bad.

Amath: A torturing subject it is. Identifying questions, applying the correct formula, capturing the right concept, flawless working, correct answer and you will get your marks. HARD.

Economics: I'm taking paper 1 tmw. Paper 3 was easy. Paper 2 was a fair paper.

Business Studies: This is the only subject that I have acheived my aim for the entire Prelim. And the aim for this subject is Finish the Paper on time. For business, I couldn't finish the full paper.
And I DID IT! So....hope I did well.

That's all. After Prelim, I'm going to have a short respite on Friday. Going somewhere that makes people go crazy. HAHA After that, I seriously need to start preparing for my IGCSE.

Last thing to share other than studies.

20/9---a memorable date.

In the library

2011-09-17T10:32:00.004+08:00

Was studying in the library after exams last week.

Met some teachers to talk about my IGCSE, especially in English.

The comments on my essay are pretty extreme. I'm so worried now. Maybe the grades that I was getting is not the grade that I'm suppose to get. Maybe there are difference in marking?

Like what Ms. Cruize said, it is positive because at least you knew it earlier.

THANK YOU teachers for your time.

Looking back to myself in the past.
I've changed alot.
Maturity, Mentally, Physically.

I didn't want it to be so fast. Like lightning flashing across the sky and disappear in the next moment. Next year, I'm 18. 18, means alot to me. Anyway, there are still few months away. Now, I'm having my prelim. Yes, prelim for IGCSE. I've got my Chinese result. I'm disappointed but yet it is the fact, so just accept it. Nothing is perfect in life. A is still alright, I told myself.

I have taken few papers in the past few days. Hem, quite confident, but it usually turns out to be not what I have expected. Anyway, I have done my best. The greatest lesson I learn in this school: Studies always come first.

Am I smart? Some say yes, some say no right to my face. But I don't have smart and stupid in my dictionary. When I say you are smart or you are stupid, I don't mean it, I'm just trying to be superficial, yes, use just a word to judge your intelligence, and that's just a joke. People are born intelligent in different areas. No one is smarter than one another, it just depends on whether you have activated your potential. People say I can't get into the uni that I wanted, they say it is impossible to compete with those smart people. But just ask them a question in your heart, are they the interviewers? If they are not, just forget about what they have said. If they are, then too bad, work harder man! I can do it!

I am now thinking what should I do after IGCSE. I have some in my mind, some that I have dropped it down on a paper, some are saved in the computer. Yes, my first step is to compile all these ideas and make it happen. I must make it happen, they are brilliant, trust me.

I have to say THANK YOU to teachers that have helped me in my life. I really appreciate that. People don't actually get what they want even they have approached. I'm one of the lucky ones. Although got rejected sometimes, I'm still standing strong. To me, the warmest thing in life is not getting near to a heater, but getting a helping hand when you really need one. It is so precious and touching. Don't you think so? I know, it will be my turn to help others in life.

My aim: Improve my English. A*

I read blogs. I read people's life, I read how people talk about their life, I reflect my life, I improve myself. And today, I come across one sentence that make me feel so down, abit hurtful, and somehow meaningful.

"a blind person could see again but he got so afraid of what he saw he stabbed himself blind".

Approach

2011-09-12T21:33:00.002+08:00

Not everyone will fulfill what you desire.
But, instead of moaning,
why don't ask yourself,
have you tried to approach?

If you had,
and got what you wanted,
Congratulations.
If you had,
but you didn't get what you wanted,
Congratulations,
you have found out a way that is not working out.
Change method, change target, just change!

Actually I just realised actually after looking through the mistakes
there is no problem to get my desired mark

It is just the problem of
remembering mistakes and nv do it again

YEAH.

scrumptious lunch

2011-09-09T09:36:00.003+08:00

I went to Hardrock Cafe yesterday with one of my teachers, Auntie Karen and my roommates. This is the first time going to Hardrock Cafe in Singapore. Here are some pictures for sharing.

Decision

2011-09-07T21:26:00.007+08:00

I'm someone who can't really make decision. Yes, I'm an indecisive person.
Maybe because I just can't handle options or it is just because I just want everything to happen in my life. Yes, I'm too greedy.

I know, those people who actually love me, will tell me honestly, just don't do it.
I know, those people who actually care about me, will tell me frankly, just concentrate on one.

And I know deeply, I can't succeed if I keep on taking things into my life 'horizontally'.

Yes, in my previous years in Kuen Cheng. I have taken in too much things in my life. Although the result is what I wanted but now I'm in a total different situation. English is not my best language, not my first language too. Sacrificing oppportunies seem to play a very important part here.

IGCSE is once in a lifetime.

Thank you those who helped me in making this decision.

Making this decision is not the main point, teaching me how to sacrifice for next best alternative is what I have learnt from you all :)

All I can say is: I'm not a good business student.

Something meaningful

2011-09-06T22:24:00.003+08:00

HAHA. Finally I can upload the photo of my dear humpty dumpty :) See...erm I think it looks nicer and cuter in real. :) YEAH!

Today, I planned to study in the school library. And guess what, I wore my school uniform, carried a heavy "army" bag (p/s: that's what Arwin always says), school shoes.....and when I reached the main entrance of the library, I was trying to stand near the door (it is an automatic door with a sensor, if you walk near it, it will just slide open), but the door remained stationary. Yes, THE LIBRARY IS CLOSED.

DAMN. Okay, backup plan. Starbucks. So I went all the way to Starbucks and study. Got my braces fixed, spent some money on two breads there. From 9am to 9pm. I'm great rite?

I can declare that: I'm officially back to study mood man! Try to finish revising Chem and Math by today.

Next thing, I saw something quite interesting on facebook. Just to share.

So, I should now talk about the ideas on my mind and stop talking about things and people. :)
Erm, may I ask: What about ideas about things and people, are they consider as ideas or things or people? (I guess this is a smart question, isn't it?)

p/s: I don't know why I keep thinking of updating my blog nowadays. Maybe it is due to the boredom of studying, maybe it is just because of ideas coming across my mind, or just simply want to express my feelings.

Some stuff to be shared and done

2011-09-05T23:39:00.004+08:00

These days I slept like almost 4am every day. Not because of studying, just don't feel like sleeping. :( Now my face looks so dull. Pimples growing at the left top of my head. MY GOD. I should have stop this kind of life style. Since it is holiday, I allow myself being overindulged. I don't care. Actually, I do care.

Now, I am staying up late. Just feel like updating my blog now. I'm random, I know.

Today, I went out with one of my friends, Tommy. He is a unique guy :) Someone that is really special, kind, outgoing. Feel so contented and happy to know him more. We talked alot, everything under the sun. Got inspired somehow. Independent, self-centre, live my own life. Something happened to my braces today. I was biting something hard this afternoon, then the metal wire bent. Now I have to wait till the other day to get it done. I feel uncomfortable with the bending wire in my mouth. DARN.

I bought something really cute today. I like it so much! A humpty dumpty which indicates VICTORY.....number one! Being number one is easy, but maintaining it, it hard. Maybe when I feel lacking of motivation to study, I should look at it, which reminds me of my great aim for this year. So that I can get rid of all the distractions and focus on studies.

Dear humpty dumpty, I love you.

I swear today I will sleep early. I will sleep after updating this post. And wake up early to wash my clothes, and get back to study mood and track. No more outings, no more relaxing. STAY FOCUS.

Tmw, I think I'm going to study in the study room. Or maybe one of the libraries. Depends on my mood. HAHA sometimes just can't focus in the study room, it is too near to my bed. My smelly sweet bed.

I don't know why, I feel happy today. The happy kind of feeling is somehow special, different from the usual feeling I have. I'm really happy.

Sweet dreams readers. No pictures for this post. The internet is so slow that I couldn't upload any from my phone.

Nite :)

Start

2011-09-03T12:29:00.002+08:00

I read a book which says something like this: If you don't feel like doing something but that thing actually means something important to you, just start doing it for 5 minutes and you will continue doing it.

The starting step is very essential for someone to succeed and continue to climb to a higher platform.

Start with your very first step. You will continue. You will succeed.
Today will be my last day playing, watching movie, facebooking.....Last day of holiday after one week of tiring and continuously exams and tests and homeworks.

My average for this term, didn't improve much, didn't deprove too. WTH YPY.
This shouldn't be your average for term 3.....Prelim is cominggggg!!

Aza Aza Fightingggggg :p

My aim for term 4 results: Average 89%

:) I can do itttt....

Party Week

2011-09-01T20:17:00.004+08:00

Prelims are coming. Still in the party mood. Frankly, I don't party, or rather, I seldom attend parties. It is because in my home country, my friends usually don't party so, that makes me an anti-party person.

In Singapore, last year, I was shocked by my friends partying every week. Yup, every weekend they will gather in one of our friend's house and start partying. You wouldn't want to know what they were doing.

Now, my turn. This week, I went for like three events consequently. First we had a farewell party at East Coast for Jia Cheng, then we have a disco-like social night in school, and finally the mid-autumn carnival in the new sports complex. It was really tiring because of I went back to boarding school quite late.

Today I went to Plaza to ate Japanese food and then far east to meet my friend. They bought me something pretty, which you can wear it on your wrist, forehead, ankle....basically your whole body. Thank youuu :) Love it so much.

Prelim is coming in few days time, to be more specific, 10 days. OMG I have 9 subjects all together and I have only 10 pathetic days to 'chiong'.( I don't use chiong usually, I prefer 'study' because to me it is a word that means: read through, memorize, and forget after exams)

So now, I have to quit alot of stuff and get myself onto the study mood. A*s for IGCSE.
Do not repeat your mistake again.
A for Chinese is not what you aimed for.
This applies to all the subjects.

=(

2011-08-11T17:46:00.001+08:00

Need a deeper pair of eyes. To fill the tears.
Remember today. The day when my final aim for this year is dead.
Burry it in the ground of hope.

R.I.P.

Swimming

2011-08-09T20:53:00.007+08:00

National Day holiday. I really treat it as my holiday. Not study leave. HAHA

In the morning, I tidied up my messy room. Now it looks cleaner and neater.

HEHE Guess who is that? Actually I'm not sure. I think it is a Korean pop star....My roommate is crazy about him =/

In the afternoon, attempted to study. Just a while. HAHA Then....I went to sleep.
Slept for like 2 hours, when I woke up it was like 5pm already.
Decided to go swimming at the Hwa Chong Swimming Complex.
Sunblock on, swimming suit on......

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When reached, OHHH Sh**. It is closed.
So, went to Tianhan's condo to swim.
After few lapse, panting like hell.
Then, took bus to go back boarding school.

Dinner.
Shower.
Washed my clothes.

Now, writing my blog :)
I know, it is really hard to wait for my blog to be updated. HAHA
Realize the date gaps is like few weeks. Some even a MONTH.
Prelim is getting nearer. Good luck Pui Yee :)

National Day in SG

2011-08-09T10:53:00.005+08:00

Singapore is celebrating her 46th birthday =D Happy Birthday Singapore!

This is my second year studying on this wonderful land. My school organized a community service for us during the eve of National Day =) We went to a hospital for the elderly in Serangoon. These are the pictures taken when I was on the bus. We are not allowed to take any pictures of them or even the compound of the hospital, so no pictures =(

Actually gained alot through this community service. The elderly are mostly weak and some of them are really sick. Some of them cannot even talk, some of them can't control their saliva from dripping off from their mouth. Some of their hands were covered by gloves because they keep pulling out the tube connected to their nose which make them suffer in pain......

I must be grateful as I'm still young. I must also cherish the relationship between me and my family. Take care of them when they are old. Staying in Singapore, far from home, I seldom see my family....perhaps twice in a year? CHERISH is really important.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the same day, after the community service, I went to Orchard to have window-shopping to relax after two consecutive days of studying. Bought a sticker with numbers, which costs me SGD4.70. I know it is damn ex, but the quality is quite good, at least I need pretty much force to tear the sticker out from the keypad of my calculator.

Yes, the numbers on the calculator is fading out, like mad, one by one. I was so pissed and actually attempted to sell it on SGD5 to my friends. But, after considering it is not worth it because I just bought it at the beginning of year......=/ And it is CASIO. So...I bought this sticker from Kinokuniya and start to scrap off the rest of the numbers which are also fading out.

AND finally, the result......

BLINK BLINK CALCULATOR :) hehe Love it so much now!! Like I told my Math teacher.....I have more motivation to do MATH now. Serious.

HAHA no more ignorance towards my calculator.

DEAR BLINK A*, I call it.

Perfectionism

2011-08-06T18:54:00.006+08:00

First, I have to tell you all that I have eaten by very first LOBSTER in Singapore =) Thanks James for the wonderful dinner^^

I was browsing the library books while taking a break from studies. And I saw this paragraph which I think it is talking about me.

Thought I am too lazy to tidy my room, actually I'm not.

I'm just a person who adopts perfectionism and I would not tidy my room until I have plenty of time to do it properly. =D Are you one of them?

HAHA.

Bought a book on Common errors in English today. Quite satisfied but yet when I think of how many books are still pending on my bookshelf, I feel like crying it out loud!!

IGCSE Chinese result will be out in 6 days time. Pray hard. Although only 4 person got A* among the chinese people last year, but I really hope this year, I will be one of the A* candidate. HUNGER FOR A*. Anyway, I will still accept their final decision with open mind.

May God Bless Me.

*Today is a wonderful day for me, I ate an upsize Filet-O-Fish meal in McDonald. Not poney for me please. =p

Wonderful?

2011-07-21T19:55:00.002+08:00

2011 is a wonderful year for me.
Emcees for two events, one in school, one is boarding school(at least I contributed to HCIBS before moving into the new boarding school)
Two investitures: Council and boarder's government.
etc etc.

Sec 4 shouldn't behave this way. HAHA I should be staying in room studying my revision guides.
Not investitures not emcees not even the event head for teacher's day.

But why can't I be the special oneee?
Balancing between studies and activities has been quite a tough task for me. But I'm trying my very best.

One more week to the Chinese Singing Competition in school. Wish me good luck. BTW I have to rush back to my classroom after singing, yes, there is history common test going on. =/

Rehearsals

2011-07-17T17:15:00.002+08:00

I am not a professional student. I'm not responsible for my job.
IGCSE is coming, I'm still busy having rehearsals for the whole afternoon, having another photo taking session again at 8pm. OMG, I seriously have not much time to study.

Today I talked to Silas. He told me that the only way to improve is to APPLY it. That's why I'm updating my blog now =)) Thanks for your inspiration. Giving the opportunity to be an emcee in a boarding school event is really precious, espcially with Silas, learnt a lot from him.

It is an ordeal for me. But, who says I can't balance between studying and activities?!

At least, I'm trying my best to cope with studies meanwhile play hard too. I'm not a NERD. teheee.....

9A*s can be done man. Two months more to go, strictly speaking 56 more days to go, it will be my PRELIM. By then I should have completed all my revisions. I must do it!!

Just do it Pui Yee!! STUDY STUDY STUDY PLAY PLAY PLAY. Stress Stress go away =p

The yellow fever

2011-07-10T08:37:00.002+08:00

I am having yellow fever.
Majority in Malaysia are having this too.
It spreads to Singapore.

The only medicine to cure this disease is:
CHANGE the LEADER

btw, I'm really sick now. Having fever and running nose.
NO! Please recover soon Pui Yee. Study needs youu =D

Conclusion

2011-06-20T22:36:00.007+08:00

Let me make a conclusion for this long holiday I have been through.

Basically it is quite fascinating, I mean satisfying, but yet you won't know how I feel when the holiday is going to end soon. You get it? the feeling of a breaking heart =(

First week was remedial week, so, going back to school to attend lesson. I found it a little helpful, especially for English. Then, I went shopping in Singapore, just window-shopping. Then I did my braces, which really make my heart felt the extreme pain, although the price is quite reasonable but yet still, pain.

Was suffering from the metallic thing in my mouth for like few weeks. Pain and ulcers. Not used to it yet, and the metal is like forcing your teeth to stay straight. It is an ordeal doing the flossing because you have to stuck it into the metal line before you can get those stuff out between ur teeth.

Went back to Malaysia for one week. Relaxing. Ate my favourite durian. Now, I'm still thinking of the fabulous taste. OMG. Can't resist myself from it. I was searching for durian stuff in Singapore the week before and found out that actually it couldn't offset my hunger.

My mum cooked alot of nice food for me. Not those expensive ones, but tasty and healthy ones. I love it so much =) Thank you my dearest mummy! Like the chicken wine soup, the dai lek wang soup the most! And my mum also brought me to eat steamed fish =)....

and snowflake too^^

Now, back to Singapore. Went to the tree top walk. Was walking for more than 10 km altogether. Breathtaking scenery but damn tiring. Nice view though! After that just walk around the shopping malls and get some food to eat.

That's what I ate today. Sambal petai and KL Char Kuay Teow. Btw, the KL char kuay teow seriously need to remove the word KL. HAHA if you're from KL you will tell that's not KL CKT. I broke my spectacles, I admit is my fault sleeping with it. And I'm getting a new one at Spectacle Hut, Nex. A simple one, not fashionable like my previous one because I found it super heavy and when I wore it for few hours, it started to press on the sides and leaving red spots which made me feel really uncomfortable. The frame is only $100, but the lenses cost much more than I expected. Pain, again, after the braces.

Tomorrow, I will be attending a camp at Lasalle College with my friends. Three days, but no staying over. Have to wake up pretty early tomorrow. Nowadays I have been sleeping late and waking up late, I know it is an unhealthy routine. Will correct it soon. HEHE

Have been slacking for the whole June holidays. Didn't study much. Will try to get myself back to track after the three days camp. Start studying, finishing homework, concentrate on studies, on IGCSE, on my goal, on myself, and I seriously need to arrange a time for myself to jog, like I did last year. Have not been jogging for decades man.

Yap Pui Yee, remember what you have said today. You must always remember Nike, and you'll succeed. JUST DO IT!

the cute baby

2011-06-15T09:43:00.002+08:00

This is exquisitely CUTE. OMG. Feel like kissing his reddie cheeks =p

Wake up.
I tell myself.
From the slacking holiday mood.
HAHA
Have not been doing my homework for the past two weeks.
And,
I don't feel like doing it now.

Oh no,
I better be prepared for the coming history test....
Don't want to screw my exam haha
Business project
Amath hw
Math
Chemistry
Physics Practice Papers
English

Cover me
Cover me
Cover me and bring me to a place where there is no hw
where there is no stress in study.....

Okay, enough.
Wake up.
Back to study.
Back to homework.

Going home

2011-06-03T22:15:00.002+08:00

You go home every day.
I go back to boarding school every day.
But now, I'm going HOME.

It has been half a year I have stayed in Singapore without going back home.
Mainly because there is always an exam after a one week holiday.
Bringing back books to study in Malaysia?
UH UH, not my style.
I rather study here.

In Malaysia, I am always relaxing =) HAHA
Movies, family and friends.
Anyway I'm bringing some books back but don't think I will really touch it.

Braces on.
Erm, ya, those metals and steels on my teeth.
So my mouth looks different.
Pain, suffer, just to wait for the day to come.
The day when I remove my braces and have a nice straight teeth.
2 years perhaps.

Painted my fingernails.
HEHE
Pink.
with cartoons on it.
By my roommate.
Thanks Chiiii =D

See ya!

If you are wondering

2011-05-21T08:23:00.003+08:00

If you are wondering what am I doing now....I'm just busy with alot of stuffs, student council investiture, boarder's government activities and also EXAMS.
IGCSE Chinese exam has just ended, ya the actual one. We usually take it earlier than the other subjects.
There is a difference between holidays in Malaysia and Singapore. Guess what, I was quite uncomfortable to have such a long June holidays last year. But this year, I hope it is longer, much more longer than just 30 days. Having lessons during the first week of the June holidays. 6pm-9pm having English lessons too, in school.

So it will be like studying till you get mad type of training during holidays.

BTW, new updates here. Getting braces soon. Gotta get rid of my vampire-like teeth. I know it will be super pain and suffocating. Am I prepared to NOT EAT FOR TWO DAYS? HAHA

I think I have enough rest now. I did give myself some slacking time nowadays. =D

Happy Mother's Day =p

2011-05-08T11:01:00.000+08:00

一年一度的母亲节就在今天。

MUMMY, 母亲节快乐。

谢谢你一直以来任劳任怨的照料。
谢谢你一直以来无微不至的眷顾。
谢谢你一直以来毫无怨言的付出。
谢谢你一直以来苦口婆心的劝导。

没有你，没有我。

Mummy!! 我爱你！！

考试

2011-04-21T07:00:00.002+08:00

终于考了四科。
现在，还剩五科。
间隔五天的假期，其实就是读书周。而且还要和Good Friday重叠。

突然觉得Rebecca Black的Friday好好听。但是我不觉得每天是Friday是件好事。要知道，那种等待周末但却不是周末的感觉，是很折磨的。

我现在就是处于这种情况。
等待考完试后的那一天，我一直在计划考完试后要做什么。
其实，没有怎么样。
就还是等待折磨人的分数出炉咯。

够折磨吧。

再看看拿成绩过后可以做什么。
其实，也没有。

IGCSE Chinese考试咯。
再来，Prelim。
再来，正式IGCSE考试。

期间还要忙Student Council Investiture 的proposal.

我的人生，还蛮令人羡慕的。

ROCKETS

2011-04-16T08:35:00.001+08:00

I love ROCKETS in the air, not the toppling balance.

VOTE for the one that brings hope to the people, not the one which only keeps on revealing sex tapes and creating extraordinary lame and useless AFFAIRS to bribe the people and hurt their opponents.

成功。失败

2011-04-15T07:16:00.003+08:00

成功的時候，所有人都想問你秘訣；　　

失敗的時候，沒人想聽你的理由。　　

但事實剛好相反：成功並沒有秘訣，反倒是失敗的理由……永遠耐人尋味。

（从执中老师的部落格看到的。觉得很有意思，便转载了。）

MYE

2011-04-12T23:07:00.002+08:00

MYE, a short form for MID YEAR EXAMINATION.
It is approaching in few days time.

If you ask me am I prepared?
I would definitely say no. Still a long way to go.
This time, the school spreads the exams into two weeks, we have 5 days off in between. Quite torturing as we have to suffocate for two weeks. HAHA
I rather get it done in a week, short and sweet.

ALOT of STUFFS TO STUDY.
But I'm trying not to stress myself out. I'm practicing my daily routine, did not really extend my study time or do any extra stuffs.
YA
MYE is coming.

SO,

PUI YEE.

YOU GOTTA STUDY HARD AND SHINE.

=p

=)

2011-04-08T20:41:00.002+08:00

No one really understand why did I do that.
Everything just happened like that and made people think that I think like others.
I never SKIP, just can't find. I tried 3 times.
I'm fine.
ZERO means nothing to me, because I'm a HERO.

Lesson learnt: I'm still me. Wrong in some sense, but never regret.

p/s: you may not understand this post. HAHA
=)

DETENTION

2011-04-07T17:39:00.002+08:00

Me: Mum, I will be late to school today because the study room locked suddenly last night and all my notes were in the study room.

Mum:Haiz... do not be *big head prawn* always ...gambateh ya for your exam I know you can do it but you must have a good rest after your exam k...take care mum ♥ you :)

*I was on the brink of crying after getting my mum's response. I thought she will, ya, but....

I love you mum.

Today's detention was boring, first time. HAHA but I enjoyed it because I really reflected. MR JOHN ROCKS =p

Lesson learnt: NEVER EVER PUT MY NOTES IN THE FREAKING STUDY ROOM OVERNIGHT!!

Swimming Lesson

2011-03-29T18:40:00.005+08:00

Today's swimming lesson was really fun! It is better than running round the track for 3 laps.

I managed to swim for 100m, passed the floating test and water trekking test(hope I didn't spell it wrongly, because this is what I heard-like you have to make yourself staying stationary in the water).

So, I got to swim, which I have waited for this moment since last year.

"Nice stroke!" The instructor said to me after I swam. =D

And I'm definitely looking forward to the lessons that I'm going to attend next week. It will be intriguing I guess.

Hope I can learn new strokes.

p/s: The only stroke I know is the breaststroke, which you swim like a FROG.

3!2!1! Founder's Day

2011-03-21T22:04:00.003+08:00

Yup, today's our school's Founder's Day. Mr. Tan Kah Kee was the founder of Hwa Chong, without him, I would not be studying in HCIS. After watching an inspiring video of him, I feel that I should learn from his determination in doing things, his generosity in making something that he wanted to happen. A simple philosophy in life, but hard to practice. It needs alot of endurance.

Okay, now, I can declare that I'm officially getting the Peter Lim scholarship from Mr. Peter Lim today. He is one of the richest men in Singapore. His gift to me motivates me to work hard for my future and to be one of the stars in my career. Thank you Mr. Peter. I hope I can have a conversation with you one day.

There are too many people that I want to thank. My parents, my sister, my family, principals, vice principals, my mentors, teachers and friends. Without you, I would not have acheive my aim to be a scholar. Without you, I would not have the chance to enjoy the glory on stage today. I will not be who I am today without the guidance and support from all of you.

You may think that you are not included. But I guarantee that I will not forget you, even you are just a reader of my blog or a blogger that I met before. =)

I will work hard.

THANK YOU. ILY =*

Unknown starring Liam Neeson =D
Just watched this movie at Orchard Cineleisure today. I'm quite late actually as it has been released in the month of February. Luckily I am able to catch this movie before they remove it from the screening list.
I decided to watch this movie after watching its trailer, I like mystery and action movies, it did not disappoint me.
It has interesting flicks that will keep you on edge for the entire film. A brief summary on this movie.
Martin(Liam Neeson) was a scientist which was going to attend a bio-tech congress in Berlin with his 'wife'. Unfortunately, an accident happened which caused him lost part of his memory. After 4 days he woke up from coma, he tried to look for his wife and get back his identity. But, he realized that someone has replaced him.
So, he tried to contact the taxi driver(Gina) which rescued him from the accident and tried to find out his real identity with her.
The unexpected part was he was not Martin but a professional spy and killer from an organization. However, he did save the life of the people in the congress by revealing that he actually inserted a bomb in the hotel to kill the Prince, but their final aim was to steal the information of a scientist who invented a type of grain that could solve the problem of food shortage that would helped the organization earned alot of money after launching it.
Martin eventually prevented this to happen. Nice ending =)

I like this movie. 4 stars rating for 'Unknown'.

My porridge wehheeeee!!

2011-03-19T21:43:00.006+08:00

Skipped my dinner because I need to go to Beauty World Centre to collect my blazer for the founder's day that will be held on Monday. So, I called my friend to help me get something random for me. She got me a porridge somewhere near Dhoby Ghaut. I'm not sure what is your first impression when you see this porridge but frankly I didn't feel good. But when I have my first spoon in my mouth, I was like WTH is this?! So DAMN DELICIOUS!! And it only costs me 3 dollars. BTW, to me, this is quite a sumptious dinner.

I just received this picture from my friend few days ago. She took it during the Batam trip in the month of January. If you are observant enough, you will realize that I wrote the date on the silky-soft sand. =) 7/1 10 days before my birthday! HAHA.

BTW, I like this picture alot. I look really happy inside.

p/s: It has been a long time that I never upload pictures on my blog and it seems dull and boring with just words. =p

New Loook here

2011-03-18T21:49:00.003+08:00

I decided to change my blog template during the March hols but couldn't find a time. Finally, I did it today. Quite satisfy with my brand new blog template, at least it looks more colourful and fascinating than the previous one, don't you think so?!

I realized that your future actually looks for you instead of you squeezing your brain juice to figure it out, if you are hard working and fulfilling enough, I mean. There are alot of routes out there after finish studying Sec 4. You can choose to study A-levels, IB or Foundation in some selected universities. I was still considering by hard which path to continue for my Diploma before I apply for universities. And, this just happened in a blink of eye, my three years education has been fixed by just an offer of scholarship.

I'm definitely glad that I received it as it is my dream because it is not easy to get, I mean you must be having some outstanding characteristics besides in academic grounds and etc. Thank you Mr. Peter Lim, Thank you HCIS, Thank you to my teachers who have brought me up to who I am today, Thank you to my friends who have fully supported me. Of course, the greatest APPRECIATION must be dedicated to my family, especially my mum and sister.

There are too many people that actually helped and supported me when I faced challenges in my life. I will never forget =D

BTW, lessons are going to start soon. In two days time. I think I have to seize the time and relax to the max before I change to STUDY MODE.

NICEE =D

2011-03-16T20:03:00.004+08:00

Abundant of things happened during the holiday. Before and perhaps after?
Before the holiday, was busy having my rehearsal for the founder's day. Result was announced on the last day of school. OKAY, got what I wanted. But I'm on the edge of a knife, damn dangerous. Work hard, Pui Yee.
Holiday.
Awesome. No movies, one outing. Bought stuffs that I'm seriously lack of like medicine for myself, hairbands, black shoes for the student council uniform, ear studs. THAT's IT.
The other days, I spent my time somewhere =) I like the place, immensely.

Next, I met up with my mentor, James. =D Smart guy, a nice person. Always smiling, exquisitely inspiring when you talk to him. ^^
Thanks for your confidence in me =)

OKAY bad things now. Actually I tried not to write ungrateful things, but, just feel like writing it now.
Some people are just being really irresponsible. Doing things in a disorganized way.
Didn't even feel guilty after doing anything in his own way.
Fine.
I'll just bear with it.

In conclusion: My holidays, are extremely relaxing and enriching!

Handle with care

2011-03-06T12:06:00.002+08:00

I hope I am not a student but a reader who reads 24/7. It is quite hard for me to concentrate on both tasks that are equally important. Reading and studying. So, I spent like three months to finish this book. Actually I did not read it consistently, if I had, I could finish even earlier.

Jodi Picoult books are lifetime movies in a book form. This story illutrates a child of Charlotte and Sean, Willow, who suffered from OI, a disease with brittle bones. The whole story is written in a diary form, of different characters' perspective.

This is a summary of what I have learnt or gained from this book:
Family disputes often occurs when there is a problem on the children. A change in a family will change the whole atmosphere and relationship. To a child, patience and love are always essential.

Everything breaks for a reason. So, Handle everything with care. =)

Good News

2011-02-25T23:22:00.003+08:00

Quite a couple of good news came into my life.
Feel contented.
One of my enormous dreams has been acheived.
No need to admire other people who possessed something that I really want.
I have reached one of the goals that I have set, if you have read my previous posts.
Two more aims to go.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to EXPO today.
Fascinating.
=)
Bought three books, SGD5 each, one of them is SGD 7.
Satisfied.
BUT, still.
Need to work hard to ensure that three goals set are accomplished.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tests coming up.
Trying to strike for a balance.

THE RULE

2011-02-20T15:26:00.003+08:00

Sometimes you will just feel tired in knowing the rule of life.
The rules and restrictions that are not easy to change.
Make an eagle's choice or just remain where you are.
A decision can make you a Bill Gates or just ruin your whole life.
Think wisely, think twice, act carefully, no regrets.

RIP

2011-02-13T13:04:00.003+08:00

RIP.

A star falling from the sky, relight it somewhere, someday.
Continue walking, don't look back.

Kenny G

2011-02-07T07:24:00.004+08:00

说起KennyG，可能这个名字对任何一个人来说都不会陌生。

一个萨斯风高手，办过无数的演奏会，出了无数的CD。

话说我小时候妈妈都给我听他的吹奏。

这几天无意间上网，便在Youtube打了他的名字，重听他的歌曲。

突然间一种莫名的感觉涌上心头，想起妈妈以前对我的关怀、教诲。

如今我已经成为一个17岁的人，我每次都这样介绍我自己：明年就可以看18禁电影的成熟少女。

想想看自己还有三年就2字辈，自己真的希望不要那么快长大。

有2字头就可不简单了。要开始自己赚钱养家了，要独立靠自己了，要让妈妈过好生活了，不要让妈妈担心自己了，要会照顾自己了。

KennyG的乐曲让我想到妈妈一路以来的陪伴，从小孩无微不至的照顾，经过人生最伤心的过程，叛逆时期的无知。

我庆幸，一路以来有你的陪伴，不然，我或许不会成为现在的我

一个正在很努力的我 =p

I love you mum!! =))

春到河畔

2011-02-05T08:12:00.002+08:00

从来不知道新加坡人在新年也会很热闹，因为总觉得新加坡给别人的印象就是跟上潮流，应该对传统节日的庆祝有所保留，不会像以前我在乡下那样吧。其实也不然，昨天和老师去了春到河畔，场面热闹极了。发现这里穿旗袍出门的人实在多不胜数，灯笼布置都十分吸引。

那里除了有卖中国小吃，还有工艺产品，还有来自南京艺术学院的学生表演。最令我惊艳莫过于保佑三太子的演出。很可爱 =)

轻轻的冷风吹拂

我百感交集

感觉温暖了

感觉清新了

感觉轻松多了

敞开心怀

欣赏春到河畔的夜景

那是多么美丽

城市的繁华

加上新年的气氛

简直是美轮美奂

流连忘返

Happy Chinese New Year!

Confused or confirmed?

2011-01-30T17:26:00.002+08:00

Most of my seniors are studying in university in Singapore, US or UK....or even Malaysia. Some of them chosed Law, some chosed Business, etc.
Am I suppose to plan my future too?
I'm now 17. Going to study A level or IB or foundation next year. YA, this year I need to study really hard for my IGCSE so that I can get myself into a better position for IB. Inspired by KAVERN TAN about future career and dream =p (I bet you're reading this)
Anyway everyone has different dreams and so do I. Ideas are like riptide rushing into my mind. Feeling queasy about my future, am I confused or confirmed?
Changed my ambition several times, perhaps, I did not set one, because I'm scared that it will resist me from trying others. But now, I think I should really set one goal and work towards it. I need to tell myself, DO NOT EVEN KEEP AN OPEN-MIND. IF NOT, YOU'LL REMAIN INDECISIVE.
I suspect I have fell into a stupor.
A teacher? A lawyer? A politician? Bank manager? Sociology? Doctor? Editor?Author?
They were my corroborated goals, were. HAHA XD I keep on changing and changing influenced by the people the environment. I wanted to study in China, Europe, US etc. and I'm in Singapore now.
OKAY, anything.
I think I'm going to study something related to SCIENCE, something to do with ENGINEERING.

2011-01-20T18:33:00.006+08:00

不知道为什么，有时候人到了一定的年龄，就会开始胡思乱想，像这想那。我似乎在一年前就到了这个阶段，到现在依然跳不出胡思乱想的框框。生活就像一面镜子，反映现实，反映理想。它有时候是那么的真实，有时候却很虚假。有时候你宁可它虚假一些，不要让你看见人性丑陋的一面，有时候你希望他真实一些，让你揭穿他人的真面目。
当你对人、事、物开始麻木的时候，或许你已经不能静下心来相信他人，接触他人，把你的真心话告诉他。因为，你很怕有一天当他不再是你朋友的时候。
我一直相信感觉。有的人我一看就觉得很奇怪，有的人我却很喜欢。当然样子是一回事，真正的性格要相处才知道。朋友小小的动作可以感动我，但是我却还是真的不能放下隔膜，把他们当成是我的知心朋友。你问我为什么，或许是我过往在我生活发生的事情有关，这里就不多提了。
我不爱演戏，但我却不喜欢把自己内心世界的事情都掏出来说。或许我缺乏了安全感，不喜欢和他人走得太近。时冷时热，变幻莫测。
当你已经知道他人的目的，却不要当面直说，是很辛苦的。但是，你又能怎样。揭穿他只会体现你的心胸狭窄。
我一直要努力改变自己的一个缺点就是看不开事情。看了很多书，看到了人性，除了失望，还是失望。没有人会真心对待，没有人会坦诚相待。如果我是一个不会说话学业成绩不怎么好的人，到底有多少个人会在我身边成为我的朋友？
看见别人成绩好，我自己会自卑。但是，有个朋友告诉我，每个人有他的才干，不要羡慕他人。我知道，但是我希望我会做得比他更好。这往往是我的推动力，也是我生活的绊脚石。因为，我往往会因为这样而看不开，而憋在心里，而感觉自卑。

我想，我是时候反省了。
要成为一个成功的人，
度量要大，
思想要成熟，
思维要敏锐，
最重要的
莫过于
热爱生活。

看了我的部落格上的自我介绍，我突然又感到自卑了。

2011-01-16T14:31:00.002+08:00

还记得小时候我常常在填爱好栏时都会写上阅读。

小时候，我是一个很贪心的人。看见朋友买了一本Enid Blyton的书，我自己也会到书局去买。结果书就是这样买了一本又一本，就是没来得及看完。我不知道什么时候开始，应该是中学的时候吧，自己开始读起了欧阳文峰、梁文道等人的书籍。有些深奥的地方自己看不懂，就假装自己会看一样，努力的完成它。每每看完一本书，我就有莫名的成就感。

渐渐，他们的书我开始读懂了。他们的风格我开始熟悉了。不知道什么原因，自己开始不爱看书了。如果你告诉我要在今天读完一本书，我会很三分钟热度地说，好。结果，还是不了了之。看见一些朋友介绍的书籍，就很想买回家来看，结果还是因为“没有时间”，搁在一旁。

现在，不知道是什么原因，可能是学校晨读的影响，可能是最近看的书Life of Pi让我找回了喜欢读书的感觉。读书感觉上就是能让自己在学习学得很累的时候，放松心情，看看别人是怎么面对世界，看看别人是怎么对待生命的。看书，可以让自己发现世界上竟然有这样的故事。太好，太奇妙。

阅读的习惯是不需要培养的。因为培养，只会让你觉得你在努力让阅读成为你的习惯。我发现要持续阅读，最重要的是发自内心产生的阅读欲望。

而这个欲望，是什么也改变不了的。这，才是真正的阅读习惯，这才是阅读的真谛。

世界上要分辨人，就要知道一个人底子里有多深。通过和他谈话或是从他问的问题中探索是最好的方法。开口说话就可以一针见血，信不信由你。

有些人说话很流畅，可是他们说的话都是在吹水。
有时候和某些人说话，你就是很不耐烦，因为他们说的话真的吐水。（备注：人在一种情况下会吐水，那就是脑进水的时候）
有些人就是喜欢讽刺，说话句句针对，这些人还是看你没水（钱）不顺眼。
有的人知少少扮代表，不知道天高地厚，自以为是，这些人没有潜过水，不知道海底世界的庞大。
更有些无畏的人，有口讲别人没口讲自己，这些人就是自相矛盾的水怪。
世界上就是有这些水人，令人不知道该怎么接口。

Batam

2011-01-10T07:37:00.001+08:00

Went to Batam by ferry with my classmates. It was inexplicable FUN! WE all came to elation when we reached the ending point of the jungle treking. We crossed dangerous bridges, climbing up the slopes with ropes. Some of them were oppressive and some were enchanted.

The three days two nights Batam Camp entailed activities like ice-breaking, water games, team battles, performances etc. It was memorable indeed. =)

终于

2011-01-09T23:44:00.003+08:00

终于破天荒在在2011年头就读完了三本书。

叶子麟博士的《冷眼横眉》

Del Pe 的《From Success to Fulfillment》

Yann Martel 的《The Life of Pi》

He's awesome =)

2011-01-09T16:51:00.004+08:00

I feel so lucky that I can have such a friend in my life. He is incredibly smart, yes, he's smart. He has high expectations and likes to set clear goals to acheive. And yes, he is a successful student. When I feel sorrow, or sometimes just thinking negative, he will always encourage me and give me a hand to bring me out from the black and dark hole. He will appear just when the contours of things around me become hard to distinguish.

Till this point of my life, I have never met a friend that can share my thoughts and act as a consultant for me in studies. He is a friend-teacher, which I can talk to when I'm lost. He shares his experiences and shows commendable grit on everything that he is doing.

He is exquisitely optimistic and used to give contructive comments. All he wants is just to SHARE everything he has with others. He is an all-round excellence type of person!

Thanks alot my friend!! You're really awesome =) I'll make you as my role model and work hard towards it!! Haha XD

Last POST?

2011-01-02T14:37:00.003+08:00

I'm still wondering if I still have time to post something on blog when school starts. "If you can, you can; if I want, I can do it too". I know, but sometimes, too much tests, too much homework makes me feel like finish it and sleep is a better choice rather than picking out some time to just write something on blog.

Went to Bkt. Timah Plaza today. Bought some fruits and vege, of course, those easy-used-up stuff like toothpaste, testpad etc. Got myself a calculator too. Actually I planned to buy another model but they don't sell it there and I don't want to visit anywhere further because school is going to start soon. Gotta save money now, spend wisely!

Next thing, I'm going to Batam for a leadership camp organized by the school, so I'm going to pack my things soon after unpacking things which I brought from Malaysia. It was really tired. I nearly collapsed yesterday night. I woke up 7.30am this morning and started to read something unrelated to textbooks. Frankly, I haven't study for History yet. I'm so worry now. =(
I wanted to watched the Tourist starred by Angelina Jolie but I can't find a time for myself because I still need to get myself textbooks tomorrow and prepare for school.

Nevermind, just ignore what I said. I'm just giving myself pretexts to not do something that I do not really want to.

Time's up. See ya!

Hope this will not be the last post because I may be complaining that I'm very busy when school starts.

Words of Year 2010

2010-12-29T11:53:00.004+08:00

"I have three more days in Malaysia!" It seems that I have three more days to live, actually I'm just trying to say that I'm going back to Singapore on the 1st of January. Spent my year-end holiday with my family and friends, and I also ivolved myself in a debate competition too. I gained much experience and I have met someone with a lot of knowledge in the area of politics. CONTENTED.

Read a book about alleviating oneself to fulfillment. I'm now reading a book regarding politics in Malaysia. My standpoint is quite clear, choosing the not-so-rotten apple among two rotten apples. (I guess you know what I mean, if you're a Malaysian) BIAS.

Honestly, I did not study. You can witness how I hang myself up when school starts. What's more interesting is that we are not going to study in the begining of school but going to Batam for a leadership camp organized by the school, and it is compulsory. OVERINDULGE.

What's my biggest acquisition during this holiday was spending my time with my family. Having sumptious dinner with them, telling them about my life in Singapore. That's all. Yesterday, went to Mid Valley to gather with my debate mates and KC's ex-trainer and his cute baby. Everyone is talking about their uni life, and actually I'm still going-to-be 17. So, nothing much to say as I'm still not at that stage. But I heard that studying in uni, especially unis in overseas are extremely competitive and challenging. And that's what top students from KC said. It reminds me to study really hard and brush up everything that I can do. So, I'm planning to do something next year. Something special. =p INSPIRATION.

After studying abroad, I realise the importance of money. No money no honey, no money no study. Even you have a scholarship, you still have to consider the money you spent daily. Like I said, earning money is hard, so we need to spend money wisely. Thinking of what I will become is a bit too far for me, and thinking of what course to take is more realistic. Everything is still in process and progressing well, I doubt. REALITY

Is this a reflection for year 2010? No, I don't think so. But I'm just trying to tell everyone that I love my family, I love my study, I love debate, I love my friends too!! I will definitely miss Malaysia! NOSTALGIA.

Gathering

2010-12-26T22:59:00.002+08:00

JR.3A gathering? Ya, I can say that because there are two of us which don't belong to KC, anymore. Yup, we went to MidValley. Window-shopping, pizza as our lunch, photo taking ya, that's all. Wait, we watched a movie too!

We didn't want to watch a movie initially, so I just wore a short pants there as I'm a person who can't stand summer day although I'm used to it. And, I was shivering inside the cinema as it was really cold. I was drinking bubble tea inside, yes, I smuggled it into the cinema. =p

We watched---TRON

A movie which presents a strong feeling of FUTURE, those IT digital world. The message or moral behind is still a bit fuzzy. Can't get it anyway. Guess it is something to do with the future technology or another world that is on-going that we never know.

Like Hsiao May said, it is nice, but just visually.( Just for reference)

When people roll snow balls...

2010-12-25T12:25:00.002+08:00

YEAH! Finally I got to roll pinky "tangyuan" in my grandma's house. It was really fun!

Mission completed!

Okay....what is that?! Ginger.....Yup, I'm breaking the ginger into small pieces. Easier for mummy to cook.....CHICKEN WINE--My favourite!!

The scrumptious dinner on the 22nd!!

HAPPY DONZHI FESTIVAL! =p

Should I say.....Merry Christmas too?? Although it doesn't seem to be related to this post haha XD

PISSED

2010-12-13T03:20:00.004+08:00

I can't understand how people think. I mean "people".
Some people are seriously irritating. Their presence is just making the world more f***ed up.
Being a two-sided person is difficult. Perhaps I can say it is damn hard. But to some people, it is just something really easy, because they are used to it.
I can still remember how they insulted me in front of other people.
I can stilll remember what they said right to my face.
I can still remember what they did to me.
All I can say, is thank you.
Thank you for being a humiliator. You make me stronger. If not, I'll not be here.

I see. Life is not easy. Especially you have to face setbacks that you ultimately know that actually you just asked for them. Can't believe I asked for it. This is the last time. I promise.

I just need to ask myself a question:
What is the point doing things that people won't appreciate, at all?
I'm really pissed.

基尔的今天与赵明福的当天

2010-12-08T11:23:00.007+08:00

人说要学会有远见，不要目光短浅。有远见的人才是聪明的人。

基尔的基宫被公开的新闻已经是去年的事情了。过了一年，反贪污局终于开口，怀疑基尔的基宫是贪污贿赂而买到的。我国的反贪污局除了把人推下楼厉害之外，其实也没什么可以值得歌颂的。因为它等了一年，查了一年，案件才正式落实。

没关系，好过没有捉到任何人。这次反贪污局又不知道捉基尔来干什么。是普通商业人都知道一个区区的政治人物哪有那么多钱赚，而且水电费、打扫费、门牌税着一些加起来，绝对不是小数目。基尔的家，还是真的耐人寻味。

然而基尔自己却一直说房子是在你情我愿的情况下买来的。然而，这充其量只能证明，基尔不是偷不是抢，而不是没有贪污受贿。

因为，贪污贿赂，也需要一方愿意贿赂，一方愿意受贿啊！基尔未免太天真太傻了。

说说赵明福的案件，因为被反贪局扣留，不知怎么的，从十四楼跳了下来，不是，应该是被推下来。结果说要调查，凶手或许都已经回乡，隐姓埋名，种田去了。

没关系，或许真的不是警方无能，而是凶手太伶俐。可是值得关注的不是赵明福为什么会死，而是为什么反贪污局到现在还不能交待赵明福到底有没有贪污。反贪污局真的是成事不足，败事有余。

我不知道为什么反贪污局要把自己人给捉起来，我是说基尔。或许他真的得罪了某些人，又或许大选要来了，又或许反贪污局要没收他的财产然后把他一部分的财产捐给慈善机构，或者只想上头条，抢版位。我不想猜，更不想知道答案。

因为人死了就是死了，你到现在还不交待，就是无赖中的无赖！
因为人贪污了就是贪污了，去彻查后人民的税务还是白给了政府！

Success or not success

2010-12-05T21:07:00.004+08:00

Majority of the people know how to hear but not to listen.
Teenagers hear advices from the elders.
Employees hear instructions from their bosses.
Successful people like Bill Gates, Obama, Micheal Jordan listen to their teachers, elders and trainers.
However, what differentiates the majority and the minority is your attitude to life.

Do you usually hear or listen to comments and advices?

When you hear, you detect the sound and forget about it the next second.
When you listen, you bear it in mind, keep it in heart and do it in the next second.

新

2010-12-05T13:14:00.006+08:00

一年下来换了三次部落割的风貌。这是第三次。
一直都觉得最初的部落格还是比较顺眼，所以都不满意之前的设计。这一次，满足了。

以前都以黑色作为主要颜色，因为这样文字更为突出，而且有几分神秘感。那时候我也因为有文狄老师的介绍而浏览凌国文老师的部落格，激发我写政治评论的兴趣。

到后来，部落格人气飙升，当然得意洋洋。还认识了一些很有想法的博客。之后，有点“退休”的感觉，除了换了两次部落格的背景外，文章也较少更新了。

现在，部落格没有以前的暗沉，没有以前的神秘。反而清淡，悠闲了许多。看起来，有焕然一新的感觉。总觉得吴政道的博客很有意思，文章虽短，但有深度，这是我个人对他文字的看法。我真的需要多读书，多写，这样才可以训练自己写出有素质的文章。

在部落格乱吐口水，写心情虽能分享自己的内心世界，

但我也不忘静观那沧海桑田的世界

Teenage DREAM

2010-12-05T01:55:00.007+08:00

I have been studying in Singapore nearly a year. Having my sweet year end holidays now, but still miss school immensely. Will be having some dinners, outings and gatherings with family and friends. Of course, I started to stuck myself in debate, again. Addicted to it, deeply. =)

School life to me is quite fantastic. But I miss the days when my friends and I played crazily somewhere in Singapore. Now, let the pictures speak =)

Jump to acheive better results.

Memories at Marina Barrage......

YEAH!!

You make me
Feel like I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back

久违的华文

2010-12-01T20:04:00.003+08:00

陌生的login e-mail和password, 用着熟悉的电脑和键盘，我似乎已经不知道，也已经算不了上一次进来想要写东西的时候是什么时候了。因为，真的太久了。

我除了感到很心虚之外，也有点失落。曾经给我一个很好的平台认识志同道合的人，结果还因为自己的评论而认识了政治上翻滚多年的人，也认识到了一个在新加坡工作活来见面后他回大马的职能治疗师。现在看看自己的部落格，已经没写政治评论很久了。

年终假期又来了，转眼间又到了令人感叹的年尾。明年又是新学年，旧同学要考SPM而我要考IGCSE......压力其实还蛮大的。要开始努力了。=)

会到来大马的感觉真好。除了可以看见爱我的家人，也可以和朋友出来聚一聚。家里的菜永远比较好吃。

有一段时间没用华文写，希望通过部落格可以提升自己的英文水平，不过还是没有办法，因为自己学业比较忙之外，写博客的心情也没有了。

反省这一年做过的事情，我觉得最大的成就莫过于学业上有令自己满意的成绩，而觉得可惜的是与辩论无缘了。这一年学业成为了生活重心，课外活动的成就也少了许多。获益不浅的莫过于参与比赛而赢得的免费上海世博游 =)

谢谢家人一直以来给我的一切。感恩。

I've got my results.

2010-11-20T08:58:00.002+08:00

Final year examination. Results are OUT. Guess what.

I am the first in my class, again. But the second in the whole level, with an average of 85.59.
Got A for every subjects, of course there are hidden A* =) (feel sad that the school does not increase the marks brackets for range A*)

Feel happy and released. After two tiring semester, I've got my results. No pain, no gain.
This is why I always want to write something in my blog but I just don't have BLOGGING MOOD =.=

Holidays are here. Graduation ceremony for Pre-U has just ended yesterday. First time being an emcee with English as language. (For your info, I'm from a Chinese Independent School previously) I enjoyed it but my leg hurt when I have to stand for the whole ceremony on stage in a high heel shoe. Nice experience but just......

Some teachers are leaving. I am always sad, like really depressed when I heard that teachers are leaving, especially my favourite teachers. But I realize something, they chosed to leave, there must a reason behind. We can't force them to stay......=))

I receive it with an open-mind.

BBQ Party

2010-10-16T09:34:00.003+08:00

Yesterday we had a BBQ party in West Coast Park, BBQ Pitt 2. We went there straight away after school. The day before, Cindy and I went to Bukit Timah Plaza to buy tongs, charcoals, aluminium foil and stuff like that.

Wing Leung and An Lui helped us to set up the layout for charcoals while Adrian prepared for food. This BBQ party actually is gathering for NCC Cadet Officers, Staff, Sergeants and Corporals but it is also a birthday celebration for Arwin =)

Mr. Yong gave some of us some IQ questions to solve. I got to solve one of them but unfortunately I forgot what were the steps. =(

Time flies. We played Kart which you can rent it nearby, rugbee which is an extremely violent game, soccer and a GAME created by the cadet officers.

I need to stress out this part as that was my first time walking alone in a path that is not bright (I can't use the dark word as they were walking in a darker jungle than us). I was scared at first as I did not know what will happen. Rumours were like spreading out saying that there would be 'kidnapping' case. Haha....but after knowing it was for us to build up our confident, I felt relieved.

I successfully went through that part, alone.

After the birthday celebration, we stayed up until 11pm ++ and went back after trying to solve the abundant leftover =)

Asian Youth Chinese Forum 2010

2010-10-02T09:08:00.002+08:00

Between 23-27 August this year, I was given the golden opportunity to participate in the first Asian Youth Chinese Forum 2010 organized by Hwa Chong Institution. As there was a cap on the number of student participants, I, together with ten other students were lucky to be selected.

During the five-day forum, we were brought around many places such as the Night Safari, Orchard Road, the Straits Times newsroom, an exhibition on Chinese culture and other places that are related to Chinese customs and beliefs. These visits were very rewarding for a foreigner like me as I had first-hand experience visiting world-class attractions like the Night Safari and also got to know better Chinese customs and traditions as they are practiced by the local people. My knowledge of my ancestral history and the factors that caused many Chinese to migrate to South East Asia deepened.

Besides places of interest, we also visited illustrious universities in Singapore like the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU). We made a quick tour of the facilities and the verdant environment of the various campuses. They are not just huge but the students there are also brilliant and high motivated.

To enhance the appreciation of our cultural roots, we were invited to attend seminars by renowned and successful business leaders and professors. Through their interesting and insightful talks, we were impressed by the richness of Chinese cultural history and the importance of us imbibing the core teachings and values inherited from ancient sages like Confucius. We got to understand better how these old teachings have helped shape China into such a strong country as it is today. The highlight of the seminars was when participants were given a chance to ask questions and clarify their doubts with the speakers. This is the segment where I think we learned the most and gained a lot from.

Our mission in this Chinese Forum was to deliberate and discuss three different issues : 'The Connection between Chinese people and the World Wide Web', 'The influence of the outstanding Chinese people towards the world' and last but not least, 'Globalization and the migration of Chinese people'. We discussed these topics in great depth for three days and on the final day, we were expected to present the outcome of our discussions onstage to the audience. It was really an amazing experience and a challenging task for us. As a Malaysian, I was proud to be chosen to go upstage and speak on the topic, 'Why the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is a suitable place for Chinese to live in'.

The Grand Finale of the forum was equally spectacular and impressive. The performers put in a lot of effort preparing for the show. The mood of the night was simply ecstatic. We enjoyed the various performances and the evening ended on a high note.

Even though the Asian Chinese Youth Forum 2010 has come to an end, we felt that our journey has just begun. In the short span of five days, we had seen and heard so much. We had gained not just the bond with many friendly friends from different countries, but also an abundance of knowledge which will always be etched in our memories.

and refreshing
non-stop
continuously
so that
I will keep my eyes open

so that
I will keep my mind clear

and shout
THE HERO IS HERE!

Finally...

2010-09-21T02:30:00.003+08:00

Finally, the History common test that lasted for two weeks ended. I mean the test did not use up two weeks to take, but two and more weeks to STUDY.

I almost use up all of my time to just study HISTORY. My study time and life is all about HISTORY. Waiting for bus, history; studying in room, history; english test, History too.
Maybe I am a bit slow in memorizing, especially when you have to memorize a whole stack of notes thinking that tomorrow will be the test.

I feel really released after taking the test today. I can now do other meaningful things, touch the subjects that I have not even glance at it.

Finally, history is over, but there will still be surprise tests. At least, the common test is temporary OVER =)

Cheers.

The KEYCHAIN!

2010-09-11T17:18:00.003+08:00

Holiday in boarding school is really boring.

Don't want to bother history anymore. It already took too much of my time.

Just went down to the dining hall and involved myself in the cluster activity held there. ----Making a key chain.

At first, I thought it will be something like cut and paste or draw and colour.

But when I went down, I saw needles and threads.

OMG! It is SEWING!!! Nevermind, just try, as I'm bored of studying. There it goes.

KeyCHain In Process =)

The key chain that I made =) Nice??

Please give me a big round applause ^^ guess what it is?

It is a CAT. (I know it is unbelievable and impossible and it is not really obvious, but please clap for me as this is my first time sewing with my hands)

Addicted to Acoustic!

2010-09-11T08:01:00.000+08:00

I bought this yesterday. Just bought it after listening it in HMV when I'm trying to search for relaxing music.
A brilliant album indeed, with soft and clear singing, acoustic version of some pop songs like fireflies, tik tok, one time, bad romance, right now na na na, etc.

The singer, Princess, will present her singing totally different from the original version, smooth and light.
Good to listen when you like pop musics alot but just feeling tired to listen to those fast pace songs. Choose this! Pop songs but Acoustic!
