tomorrow, i'll be starting on a new phase of my life..i'll be attending my hall camp! not really used to the idea of going for an orientation camp all over again..having to meet new people, form new bonds of friendship, and pretending to be enthu and cheering even though u're dead tired! haha i dont exactly enjoy cheering that much..i always think its attention-seeking somehow! hahaa i'm a wet blanket..but yeah..really hope the people in my grp are nice and simple people! :)

haha today's been a messy day..spent half my day at daiso picking up stuff for hostel wif my parents, binbin and zk..the place is so big and ppl tend to leave stuff that they picked up but which they later decided they didn't want around..its so messy! den moved all my stuff to the hostel..really thankful my mummy and daddy took such an active role in helping me settle in..my mummy making a list of what to buy..both of them helping with the cleaning up of the very dusty room which had been left vacant for quite a while..haha i think the part i like most about my room is my pink bedsheet which has flowers on it! i dunno why i like flowers so much...i think they just make a place seem much more homely and pretty...

really really glad im gonna stay wif my binbin! it makes me so much more excited about school life... :)))) and there're so many other ny ppl and ppl i noe who are going to ntu..and many of them in accountancy too! gonna be a mini ny reunion..and clara and wenyan's going too..plus gracelyn! wa friends from my primary and secondary schools plus jc..so cool right!

met up wif angchieh, dory and kwa the other day! so ironic that lowly the organizer couldnt make it! really wish she could though..haven seen her in so long..and im sure she'd make the dinner seem much more lively too (not that it wasnt la haha) cos of all her frank and honest comments haha...really glad to see that everyone's still the same..angchieh's still as cute and simple as ever..and dory is just as warm and smiley!

its strange how we always feel scared that such gatherings wif friends you haven met in a long time are gonna be awkward..and sometimes we feel apprehensive about going at all..but after meeting up we don regret it at all! but the next time we get the same apprehension all over again..i think its special how i can meet up wif gracelyn after 4 years?? and feel as though nothing much has changed between us..i guess as long as we dont change in character and principles, nothing will change in the friendship too :)

oh anyway here are pics from our mind cafe outing the other day..we're gonna meet up to play badminton next week im very excited!! i hope we do go on wif our plans eventually..

playing taboo: yuensau trying his best to describe 'bald head' to zk and zk INTELLIGENTLY guessing the word as BOTAK hello this is an american/british game!

zk was supposed to carry out a dare on the jenga tile cos he caused the tower to collapse, in pretending to direct traffic across a busy road, when another table realised their girl had the same dare! so we made them do it together haha looked damn funny la! :p

our ultra high tower if you all can notice..almost every level is made up of only one tile! so pro right! hahaha

ahh wish me luck for a good start to my school life!

boredddd

haha i cant tag on my tagboard so i shall reply tags here

binbin and engsin: i'm so proud of both of you!! seeing you two riding distances to and fro that short little pathway made me feel warm and fuzzy inside somehow :))) but i think more credit goes to our mo gui jiao lian tyz..really damn funny seeing the way she pulled u all along at a scary speed into grass patches!! nway binbin i really admired how brave u were lor..but u scared me by the way you recklessly cheonged into the grass and always almost crashed into trees! and engsin! u need to be more brave and not so scared of every little seed you see along the way! :p

zit: haha let's go fishing again!! but this time i will definitely smear a one-inch thick layer of sunblock all over my body! i don lik e tennis too much though, but i dont mind sitting by the side and taking pics of you all :D i think badminton's easier and more fun!

went to mind/mind's? cafe wif vips, yuensau and zk ytd...very fun!! balderdash seemed so fun and amusing when i played it wif yz they all so i recommended it to them to play but they din seem to enjoy it THAT much though den i felt paiseh inside hahaa..but vips and zk are damn zai in jenga la damn stressful to play wif them! and yuensau was like losing consecutively for a few rounds! haha! lousier than me! :p

i actually am looking forward to going to school...i miss studying..(im not a mugger! :x) rotting away at home makes me feel bored and lonely..so im really happy that im going to ouou's house wif bin tmr! hope i dont end up sleeping on her big queen-sized bed as usual haha...

ok i better go sort out the US trip photos into the various sizes i wanna develop them in..procrastinated for damn long oredy..but at least i selected those i wanna develop oredy!

tuition tonite....wonder how im gonna cope once uni starts..but i'll see how la..shall take things one step at a time...

ok enough of rambling..

i'm never NEVER going out into the sun for the whole day without putting sunblock again!! im awfully sunburnt now and its damn damn pain..i underestimated my impossible-to-tan-skin! as far as possible (i.e. when i'm at home) i try to go braless..putting on and taking off clothes has become such a painful chore to me!!

but ANYWAYYY, fishing was really fun...i'm serious! what i mean is not only the fishing part of it, but the whole package of going to fish..it's damn laidback, relaxing and carefree..i render now that most people fish not really cos they want the fish itself, but more of a tranquil way to pass a nice sunny day outdoors..fishers either go there to look out at the beach, reflect on their lives, or engage in a heart-to-heart talk with their friends, which was wad zit and i did..reeling in the fishing line was just like a side-job once in a while when we were hoping for a pleasant surprise that there'll be a fish at the end of our line each time! haha we were not very successful fishers, we only caught a crab the entire day! but its a CRAB!! how cool is that! its medium sized, with filter-like hairs on its pincers and legs (which made it damn difficult for us to free our crab from all our tiny hooks)..it could be a HAIRY CRAB!! hahaha ok of cos i dunno i dont study crabs..it was quite badly entangled..we dont think it was actually feeding on our raw prawn bits bait, but rather it just unfortunately swam into our line and got tangled up..

it was very funny cos when zit first pulled her line up we werent actually expecting anything, after our futile wait for over 3 hours...then we saw sth long and shelly clinging onto the line!! then i was like, "wa! is it a prawn! no it looks like a lobster!" and after a while i realised it was a crab!! we were both very excited but we didnt know how to free the crab..and i merely let out a small shriek when the crab first started jumping about which induced zit to bellow an echoing scream which reflected off the whole stretch of breakwaters im NOT exagerrating..haha..and we were being damn losers because we wanted to free our crab and save our fishing line at the same time so we took turns, one of us using an umbrella and a piece of cardboard to hold down the crab's pincers while the other person using scissors to remove the hooks..in the end we gave up and just cut off the line! and we used the end of the fishing rod to nudge the crab back into the water..in the end when we pushed it to the edge of the jetty it jumped in itself! so cute!

and i realised fellow fishers are all DAMN NICE...really..whenever you walk past them they'll ask you if you've managed to catch any fish yet..or when they say they've caught one or two, they'll open their box and show you their catch..there was this group of malay guys near us and they were very friendly! which made our day so much nicer..not the flirty kind of friendly but the genuinely nice kind of friendly..like when we were walking out towards the carpark, one of them was behind us..he caught up with us and chatted a bit with us and halfway, he said he gtg and he RAN off! haha like he was in a rush but still bothered to be friendly to us..and two other old man taught me how to fish a bit too cos noob me was about the cast the line when my weight got stuck in the wooded barrier behind! this is damn loser cos we're supposed to swing our rod from the back and in my midst of swinging the line got caught behind! and i was hoping those two men won't stand there and look at me casting the line anymore!!!

anyway, pictures of our catch!! zit posing with the crab! can you all spot it??

our crab all entangled with our fishing hooks

our freed crab!! :D

scenic view of labrador beach from the jetty :)

pretty picture!

other than that, this week has been about meeting up with many of my close friends! i'm happy that you're fine oredy dear! i know i've said this a lot of times but i really really admire you for being so strong, mature and gracious, especially so for a girl...

swimming wif kwa just proved that i'm destined to stay fair! like when we talked i would be standing in the sun and she'll be hiding in the shade..and after we got out, i hadn't the slightest bit of tanline, which she was chaotah on the back cos her swimming costume had a sexy revealing hole at the back (hehe! :p)

went for med checkup wif binbin too..and submitted our hostel application fees...thinking about it just reminds me that i'm gonna start on a new phase of my life very soon..we all are..i just hope nothing will change very much, though i know that it will...hmmm oh well..

hehe can't wait to teach xiaogui and binbin cycling on tues!! i really hope that they'll be successful lor! :DD

2 more days!!

haha my life's not as lonely and depressing as i expected to be, cos of really wonderful friends around me! and i'm going fishing wif zit on thurs and im really excited cos its my first time and hopefully i can get a tan (which would go off in a week anyway sigh)! she's gonna prepare all the fishing stuff and im in charge of bringing food to feed ourselves and i dunno why im feeling so excited about the whole thing haha..i'll most prob throw the fish back into the sea if i do catch any so its just for the fun of waiting for a fish to bite onto my bait! haha..

and tomorrow im meeting all my dearest friends! :)

hmm i was still worrying i'll be bored to death like how i was before i started working and everyone else was working, but now i'm really pleased with how things are cos i got more than enough stuff, including self-given homework like doing a scrapbook for my US trip last year which would probably take up a lot of time and which i probably forgot lotsa stuff oredy haha..and i actually dont have that much time left! especially since now i'm going for the orientation camps and such...dunno if i should feel happy or sad that my days are gonna be packed now...i'm actually quite contented wif lazing around the whole day, just that it really makes me feel piggy..

here's wad my typical lazing around day sounds like:

12.30pm: wake up, brush teeth & wash up

12.30-1.30: eat breakfast/lunch and browse thru newspapers

1.30-3.30: slack online, collate pictures for my 2 scrapbooks

3.30-5.00: laze on my bed= sleep

5.00-6.00: look thru stuff strewn all over my messy room

6 plus: my daddy returns! wif dinner and all, continue lazing on my bed

7.00-10.00: dinner + tv

10.00: go online/read harry potter 5 (planning to finish it before i watch the movie!)

haha looks damn sad and boring right...but its ok i'm a boring person who likes sitting around doing nothing anyway :p

During zk's rare and precious 4 day leave, we went to the botanic gardens to watch Happy Feet! wanted to watch it when it first opened in cinemas but din get the chance to...plus this time it was free entry! haha! no la..just sounded quite nice to go..its part of the events for Family Week, and this event was a closure to the whole campaign! and Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan was there! I tried to sneakily take some shots of him but got quite poor results..try to spot him! he's in red! hehehe

And zk fished out a rose he sneakily bought in the morning before he met me which he hid in his dirty bag (haha!) but which made me very very touched cos it was his first flower to me :)))

pretty shot of the rose

(haha i took many more ARTISTIC shots given my penchant for flowers but too lazy to upload! and i think everyone would get bored anyway)

And this is how he spent the day (forgetting about me) before he left for Brunei that Sunday night:

haha we both found this photo damn funny cos he looks damn stupid! and being the lazy pig, he couldn't bother to shift those blankets above his head away, but just STUFFED his head underneath them which makes him look like a TOOT MUSHROOM!

just one more week!
