@ 2:30 PM

Hi all…I am really busy these days so cant update my blog…sorry: (
Ok…the last time I blogged was after bio paper 1 on the 20 nov…that was like SO LONG ago can!!Had several things going on…so this will be a SUPER long post.

22-25 nov KL trip

Well, overall I did not really enjoy the trip…I fell very sick and shopping cannot be comparable to the thrill of shopping in bankok…I had 650RM and I spent to 0.15 RM…not even sufficient for u to go toilet in Malaysia…lol..but still not shiok enough..i mean one will feel better when you buy a lot of stuff at S$4-8 bucks as compared to S$12.50 right?haha..but..,I fell sick on the first day at KL..cuz we ate food stuff from street food carts.I think my body juz cant take the food..but it was NICE!!!We had fried kuay teow and soya beancurd!!hiaz…but I got food poisoning like the next day?haha..BUT, that did not stop me from shopping! i continued:P hee..i bought two pair of shoes and jumper and jackets and my prom dress!!…then I realise..i did not shop for new year clothes!yikes!!i only bought a checkered dress and I need two more sets of new clothes…that is why I am shopping for them with joee…hee

26-27 nov class chalet at pasir ris

One day after I am back, I went to class chalet! Miss all of them right now…and our class lingo…I feel awkward using them at work…sign…
We did not do anything much since I went on the second day and a lot of ppl went home alr…we had dinner and eventually, the ones left were vivan, youying and me…quite sad right?but, I am glad I went to chalet…that night, we went to kbox until 2am and we chat thru the entire night..it was then I realised that both viv and youying regarded me as an impt friend and we confide to each other our thoughts and feelings with regards to school and relationship…I am “enlightened” by viv and youying over something…shall not share it here:P I am also surprised that viv and youying did not detect my “emo” period that I am struggling thru in JC1…when I think about it, I probably put up a “flawless” brave front and I really thank God who strengthen me to walk thru those difficult times.

28 nov pack room!

My room was super messy!!!i cleared all my notes and sorted out those that I want to sell, keep, give…busy the whole day…currently, I am left with my wardrobe unpacked…

29 nov AJC alumni gathering

If I did not rmb wrongly, the ajc alumni sent me a letter and informed me that I am the “selected” students to join the alumni…Genim called me before and informed me regarding this gathering and text me the location…it was held at Han’s café at NLB bugis met up with xiao ping and joy…when we got there, we were so shock to see another ajcian from another class sitting with the seniors…we were like.., “is that all?juz the 4 of us??!!” then, they told us that there were more from other classes but they want to make such informal gathering small…joy ask them how they choose students to join…they reply, “you are here because someone in the staff room likes you and nominated you: )”…dots…the session was quite ok…we just talk and discuss abt wat the alumni those etc…

30 nov go church

Ah…I two months skip church alr…I was very scared teacher victor consider me as a newcomer and present me with a welcome gift!then It will be super awkward!!but luckily it did not happen…whew…

1 dec chinatown

i have decided that this year I will make Christmas present for everyone that I know in church as well as my pen pals^^Xin ying, Cherissa, Jze Ying…it will be a hp strap or key chain(depends on how ppl want to to use it..)I bought wires, beads etc…hope my hard work will be well paid off!!

2 dec Facial appointment

It is one day away from prom!!i have to admit that the state of my face is not good…due to A levels..very oily and dirty..i went to do facial by a beautician recommended by joee…
Then, it rained…drizzled to be accurate…so I just walk along the streets without umbrella…after that…I fell sick again..caught a bad flu and lost my voice…sign…

3 dec PROM!!!

This day finally came…but…I am sick!!was slightly feverish in the morning…so mummy force me to take a super strong medicine…indeed I felt slightly better...mei cheng jie jie had agreed to help me with hair and make up! I am glad she helped me since she is familiar with putting make up for others for different occasions…she learnt this skill since she took up theatre studies at NAFA…hee…I also save up some money: ) I went to paragon to meet up with viv and the rest who were doing hair and make up..overall the food was ok…but I did not eat a lot since I still quite sick…but I was lucky that night!i won a prize in the lucky draw!!!it was buffet for two at mariott…hmmm…who should I go with?..the dinner ended at 12 am…so late!!now I understand why some of my classmates don’t want to go for the prom…you have nothing much to do there…the food come very slowly and the prog was ok…a lot of ppl went ard to take photos…hiaz…nvm..it was a good experience..After the dinner, we went to a club-butter factory…I really want to see wat a club is like and wed was ladies night…so we don’t have to pay for entry…it was then I realised that there were several jc having their prom on the 3rd…butter factory was packed and it was booked for NYJC…so…we just queue at the VIP and guests line…cuz the other queue is soo long! By that time I am totally drained…super tired…Initially we wanted to stay out the entire night to talk…but I just cannot bring myself to pull thru the night…we did not stay in the club for long…I seriously did not like the environment there…dark noisy crowded..will NEVER IN MY LIFE STEP FOOT IN A CLUB AGAIN.so abt 7 of us left and viv stayed in the club with her sec school friends…I reached home at abt 2 am…

4 dec Church BBq

Ok..,I reached home at 2 am and I was super tired…I slept until 4 pm on the 4th of dec…I missed breakfast and lunch and did not eat much during prom…I weighed myself and I hit my lowest weight..46 kg..sign..luckily I will be going to church camp…have to gain some weight..it was wai mun’s sms that woke me up…initially I wanted to skip the bbq de…but wai mun say that it is better to go to meet and get to know more ppl, and also to accompany li ya…so…,i still went for the bbq…the session was ok…I got to spoke with both pastor mark and mitch. And got to know more ppl from church…the two benjamins of the same age.., mr smart guy Alvin…audrey and friends…I am glad I was there and I look forward to youth conference!

5 dec dinner with hui qun and trendy

Hee…it has been a long time since we dine tgt^^met up with them at toa payoh and we dined at pasta mania. I have some history notes to pass to trendy...hope it will be useful to her!! I have to pass to hui qun her bdae present..hee…we chat over dinner and felt very happy for trendy…she top the arts cohort!!!wahhh…really glad to see her enjoying her time in SRJC…at least she seem happier there as compared to her time in AJC…All the best for A levels next year!!

6 dec Off to JB

I missed Malaysia HK café food in KL due to food poisoning…I will not miss it again!!!hee…we dined at wongkok HK café and I had noodles!woot!!we did not shop much..JB shopping not as exciting as KL…mummy and the rest went to do hair treatment while shi min and I went to the comic bookstore…after that…,we went to eat…again…hee…feel really satisfied^^

7dec The start of youth conference

After morning worship service.., I went home to do last minute checking and packing…really looking forward to camp!!

6-11 dec camp in progress

I really learnt a lot from the bible study lessons, vespers and the evening sessions with pastor Charlie…I cleared a lot of the questions that I have and I grow to love Bethany…it seems like I become more attached to the church than before and there was a sense of eagerness to learn more abt God’s word…the theme of the YC was “Be strong”…thus, the lessons learnt over camp are highly applicable in life…I really enjoyed the singing of Christian songs!!Every morning, camp officers will play some songs that we are familiar with…like “You are”…I thought we sounded better than the singer…hee..i enjoed the games too!!and the sketches…ben quah and gavin are soo funny…teacher li yen too!!strong sense of humor..haha..the sketches may be funny but they were acted based on real stories of individuals who faced difficult trials in life and the sketches depicts how they overcome it all by drawing strength from the Lord…on thurs night..we had a very special experience..the pastors bought candles from Ikea and we lit them and turn off all the lights in the sanctuary as we read the bible and listened to pastor charlie’s sharing…his want us to realize the difficulty of reading the bible and singing Christmas carols experience by the people that go to churches at night in the past..this was to emphasize the point that despite all these difficulties..ppl continue to worship the Lord and we ought to worship Him wholeheartedly as well.

12 dec last day of camp and cleaning up!!

I really love to clean toilets…especially the male handicapped toilet…easy to clean and fun!!hee..went to clean up straight after lunch and helped other levels to mop the floor, stack up the chairs and wash the cups and plates..before we break camp, all game groups have to put up a song item..my group sang “How great You are”…it is a very meaningful and nice song..li ya loved the lyrics too!!then, the batch of 1990s also put up a song item…we sang “My hope is built” and at the last part of the song, we ended it with the chorus of “yesterday, today and forever”…very nice..^^then, we practice two song items in which all the youth conferees will perform during Sunday’ s morning worship. The two songs are “Complete” and “His strength is perfect”…I really like both songs..

13 dec Buy Christmas Present, Christmas Caroling and someone’s bdae!!

Yup., it was Benjamin Quah’s bdae that day…same as Christmas caroling and I gave him a card…Happy Birthday!!! In actual fact, I am not supposed to go because I did not sign up for caroling in time…But, wai mun left for Bankok in the midst of the camp…so she ask me if I could go in her place…so, I went: ) Before caroling, my Sunday school teachers brought us to sks bookstore to choose our christmas present…I chose a NKYV bible..and I bought a bible cover for myself…very nice^^Thank you Teacher ai-leen, Valerie and siew chiong: )

14 dec Shopping with joee(part 1)
