At least I’m squeezing some time to blog. I would like to thank quite a few people later on. heehee

Celebrated Elton’s birthday at Manhattans. Yum yum but it wasn’t filling leh. Then again it’s filling for everyone else. As usual, I have a cow’s stomach or a black hole stomach. Haa! We got Elton a yellow soft toy duck since he likes to keep soft toys and his surname is Quek. Lol
And that feller serving us at the entrance was mean! I already made reservations for about 15 people and he say we must have at least 8 people to show up before they let us in. well another thing is that he needed to wait for others to clear so that we have our 15 seats! I thought I already made reservations! Hmpf!
Anyways went to bugis with baby to see if her brother’s cardigan was available. In the end, nope.

Went to see Jane’s statistics award ceremony. Actually I was also waiting for the food! Hahahahaha! Not bad, I like the fruit tarts. I remembered Darren was asking me how many rounds of food I took. Lol pai seh ah. But then he went more rounds than me loh! Ha! Wonder who is the TS one here. This shows that the food nice mah. Heehee
Oh anyways, quite a few of our school teachers came compared to other schools. If I’m not wrong, Jane had comparable amount of supporters too! The applause was very loud when it came to her turn, so proud of my dear friend!
Ok my sister’s birthday is in 2 days time and she keeps asking me: “Am I going to get a present?” haiya! Seriously, she has everything already, what am I suppose to give her?? Thank goodness I finally see the light after meeting her at Toa Payoh central for dinner. We were looking around in popular after dinner and she said she needed a huge photo album to put her pictures from USA. Phew! At least she found a design she liked.

4/9/08
Continuation from yesterday. Ha. Before my sister comes back, I quickly made a trip to Toa Payoh central to get my sister’s photo album for her birthday. Since I was so scared that she would buy it anytime after she knocked off, I gave it to her today instead of tomorrow. Luckily she didn’t buy it today.

Today was Econs prelim paper. Me angry! My paper was stapled in a way that page 4 appeared before page 3! Page 4 had the case study questions already so in the end, I did the case study without reading the information on page 3. L

Last day of prelims. Hee!
Was deciding between playing basketball with T30 and going out with T28. since T28 have less outings together, I decided to go with them. Anyway, they’re heading towards a food source. Ha!
We played around since the dim sum restaurant wasn’t opened yet. I found some food quite oily though. Quite a few of them didn’t know what was herbal jelly and wanted to try. In the end, they didn’t like it. of course, it’s so bitter! Lol you should have seen the looks on their faces!
After eating, we went to play board games at Mindscafe. Oh my sister was supposed to go there with her colleagues after we left. Lol but in the end, they didn’t go.
Anyways, it was quite fun la. Learnt quite a few new games. Let me show off now. There was this telepathy game where you suppose to come a certain number of words individually and see how many of these words matches with the ones that your partner came up with. In the end, Darren and I won. Yay! Then there was also this fastest hand thingy which I rightfully won. Heehee. In that game, you are suppose to follow how the hands are positioned and if it can’t be done, you either raise both hands or cross them. This game was filled with laughter. Madeline and Zhi Hua were at loggerheads. Then Madeline kept saying: “cannot do!” when in fact, the picture of the hands can be followed. Haha. And Charlene always fumbled at the easy single hand pictures. Weird but very funny.
There were other games like sequence, saboteur and rat-tat-tat. While playing the games, I was wondering how come my legs felt so weak when I didn’t even much.
After that, I met my mum at Plaza Sing to eat dinner. Thank goodness, my mum was nice enough and didn’t shop around as I wasn’t feeling well.
I finally solved the mystery! I was having fever and maybe I ate something wrong? No wonder my legs were weak while playing games at mindscafe. But TV is still very important so I watched tv till about 12 plus before sleeping. Heehee!

13/9/08
I made myself sleep till about 11 plus, close to 12 in the morning so that I could get more rest. My fever went down but my tummy still wasn’t feeling well. I accompanied my mum to a place called traumatic something because her legs were a little sore. Oh well, it seriously lived up to its name as traumatic. The physician really made my mother yell in pain for quite some time. He said she had to come back another time for acupuncture. Scary!
We went back to Toa Payoh central to drink tea at koufu. At the corner of my eye, there was this someone whom I thought was a stranger walk towards our table and psst. Just when I was thinking who was it, I turned and saw Darren. Lol what a coincidence.
Then my mum asked me if he also went to eat dim sum. I said yes. And my evil mummy suanned me. She said how come he eat dim sum nothing wrong then I eat and everything went wrong. Haahaa I should have said: “your genes!” just like how my dad and I suan each other.

14/9/08
I realized other than an evil mummy, my sister also suanned me! I told her able how my mum suanned me and she added some salt on my wound la. Haiyo. She said if I go Hong Kong, I sure die with all the dim sum.
I still have not get back at her for her disruptive cookie baking where she screamed 4 times while I was studying. The first time she screamed was because she added too much sugar. The second time she screamed was due to the addition thousand amplifications of vanilla essence she added. She forgot to take into account that the GLASS bottle took most of the weight. My dear sister added half a bottle of vanilla essence instead of a few drops. The third time she shouted for me was because she mixed a “small” piece of egg shell into the batter. When I asked her how small, she drew, with her finger, a triangle about 1 inch on each side! I was thinking, yea it will become the small pieces when it is well mixed. The fourth time she screamed was because she couldn’t multitask very well and her cookies went chao tar while she was cooking. Then she was telling me to give those burnt cookies to my friends and say that its double chocolate chip flavour. Lol!
Anyways, back to the story.
It was my grandmother’s birthday and we all celebrated at my uncle’s house. The cake was yummy! Food was nice too! Too bad I hadn’t fully recovered and my appetite wasn’t back, if not I would have taken my third helping. Heehee

Ah yes, I still remember that I have to thank quite a few people for encouraging me through prelims.
Thank you:
My family for everything.
Jane for always telling me to add oil and helping me in my studies. On top of that, listening to my grouches and always seeing things in my interest.
Darren who always tell me not to throw in the towel and stay positive (although sometimes it’s difficult). I promise I will work hard for A levels.
Shu Ann for being there for me and helping me in my studies and others personal issues. We had a lot of fun together.
Li Wei for being cheerful and funny and seeing things in a logical manner. It’s a great thing we have quite a few things in common that can keep us talking for ages.
Baby for listening to my troubles and working out solutions for them. An extra bonus for sticking through thick and thin with me during the horrible period (about the thing that brought us close but yet we do not really prefer).
Rishi for taking initiative to ask how was I, knowing that I was near a give up state and explaining to me so that I see things in a different perspective.
Dominic (surprisingly, ok just joking la) who kept trying to push extra prelim practices to me. May you not say die when it comes to A levels. If I’m not, you should not either.
Ryan for hearing me out during retreat although we both had it rough. Give it your best shot.
T30 for being understanding and inclusive and treating friendship as something very important. May everyone stay united.
And whoever who has helped me in one way or another. My brain isn’t in a good state now because I’m quite sleepy so pardon me.
Finally I can conclude this done.
