BARTLEY 'GANG'

After months and months, finally got to meet the whole group of them! The whole group of guys whom I hanged out with at least twice a week bout 2.5 or 3 years ago. Probably thats how i gained the traits of a lamer.

The guys especially..afterall I meet up with my ladies occassionally. And i guessed, 'Uncle' Han was the one whom I spoke to the most often for the nite. Remembering what i asked him continously : "Why din you cut your hair? It look like mad scientist" hahahh

OUR chef for the whole nite! "Mr Xu" (man in black) Not as simple as a chef, he's the organiser and sponsor. Thanks man! And he cooked delicious chicken wings! hahas. NOt that we don't wanna cook, the pit is too small for us to fight with the main chef. haha.

Yummie wings on a ugliy stained plate~

The 3 of us. And the 2 prawn lovers beside me who ate COUNTLESS of them hahas.

yea and then the pseudo model who were revealed with a black garbage bag! hahas. Crazy.

In the midst,there were mutiples NGs like the one below..because Goey and Shi Han werent good assistants to our model here. They donnoe what to do!! LOL

The ladies with i think, 2 rare guests. Koon,Goey, Xiang Ling, SHanlyn, Hui Nee.

W Huinee and Goey! Cant rmb when i popped in though.hahas

2 of us with the chef and Ah ben who never fails to inject laugher! ahahas

And in the fun of trying out the new driving skills of the 2 drivers..yx and ben...I guessed we've annoyed them with the flashes of lights. But yea, "Chup Noi" is quite a gd driver. HAHAS! inside joke of goey, me and yx. hahahhhhhhhahahahahahahahahahas

And how can we not have a group photo!!? LOve everyone here. Ability to catch my jokes at least. HAHAs. hmphs. But yea, more than half of them would graduate next year from poly and maybe start work..hahas. and im still studying~~~ Just dont forget to stay in contact when life gets alil hectic.

Enjoyed yx and sh's racist stories on trains and buses. Though I wun agree with such covert and rude behaviour, hahas...they were really funny. As an audience, im fine. So big bullies...i dont know how u all got thru without being beaten up. hahas. still, funny stories. Make me miss 4e1 again, esp the isolated space at the back of the class wher me and goey and sometimes the gang spent the whole day laughing through and the teachers can't really do anything to us or to me..hahas. coz afterall,we know whats gg on still =p

On a separate note, Im really happy that this gathering clearly clearly shown that i've rebuilt the ties with 2 of the buddies...though it took bout 2 years or more. But now, ther's one to be built again. It really hurts when u lose a fren after getting out a relationship. You used to be so close yet you're like strangers now. Who knows, if nothing has started..we could be the best of friends now. Time is again what I need,i guess. To find back the friendship. And its true that some people can never really become friends again, for whatever the outcome may be. hahas. I'll still try. It would be unfair and cruel to hurry one into accepting a 'new' frenship when they are not ready.

cheers people!

THE GRAPH


I've tided over another Thursday again! Always hated thursdays - longest day and sickening lab that makes me travel so far. hahas. Its the LAST lab lesson today, not really very boring. Seriously lab has been fun still (except for the dumb dna model) although I have endless whinings on labs.

I have been thinking bout the study graph recently, something that I've created and thinking bout recently.Quite stupid but, hahas. The thing is it probably still stands true from August till early October, but no longer after that till now. Studying in Uni is like going up and down in a roller-coaster. The pace is too rapid. Before you can really embrace everything, digest the newly encoded information and store them, new knowledge are at your doorway waiting with their luagguage to reside w you(in you).
One moment u're slacking, and the next moment you will be panting and struggling with the accumulated stack of work/readings. Just like when the rollercoaster goes down...ur heart drops, as if..u had jumped down from some tall buildin..hahas! Not that ive tried before...but~


-COPYRIGHT of koon-hahas

Looking at the graph, life was REALLY slack before August and while I continued to slack after school reopens, the sense of urgency picked up and peaked during mid September, due to Mid-terms. And after that, excuses of letting myself rest for a FEW days set myself into weeks of slacking. Up till now, I think i'll still call myself a slacker. Going by the graph, I should be mugging now. But i guess, i have failed to do that. Seems like many things are pileing up. The building blocks of stress. Internally or externally. When people start talking bout CAP, 'have you started studying?'. Its madness!

Dance has been COOL too. Really really love dancing. Another way of forgetting the stress and worries in life. Even though it causes injuries as shown above...no complains bout it!! (even though it hurts like mad, even when u walk) lovelovelovelove to dance!




As the stress is building up, yupp. I need some lovely food to cheer me up, keep me going..Of coz, with great company. :]

and bbq tomorrow, dinner on Sat, Project on Sunday, Workshop on Mon..

yea. busy.

but, it doesnt seems to be coz of studies. hhahas. OH NO~!

slacker, buck up

NOSTALGIA


When my phone rang, a familiar number appeared. It reminds me of the days back when i was looking for a job. A familiar voice was transmitted..and yupss...it was karen. As she started asking me bout work ive done months ago, my mind seems to teleport itself back to the small SERI office, standing beside the photocopy machine, binding hard on those 40 sets of course notes and then placing them in Prof Tan's room..thinking of the scene when I talked to Yihui..recalling how i split each set of the notes..The happy times of the working as well as the bitter fear that lingered in the air when K is around.. For that moment, i tot i was back at in the same time..especially when...she wasnt just a boss THEN..more than that..the kind of respect ive to give her...hmm yea..diff.

PLus when she asked me qns on what happened to wayne and me..ahahas...ive no idea how to answered that. Somehow managed to divert her attention a lil..

but yea..this reminds me of what is mentioned in the 'emotions' lecture..Nostalgia is one of the very few emotions that can be positive and negative at the SAME time..i cant really explain how it works...this emotion thing but somehow i think its true...with some kind of a yearning for happiness in the past yet with a little of bitter or sadness sometimes. hahas.nahs.......still sounds wrong.. oh well..if u can explain that kind of feeling, do let me know. hahas!


--------------
On a side note, this semi-gd friend of mine,used to be extremely crazy gd fren, got hospitalised. And i skipped lecture to visit her. Haven meet her for a long long time and im so scared that before i see her she's gone..

DIdnt expect that the time when i meet her is when she's lying down there helplessly waiting to be operated. BUT BUT definitely she's fine, im sure. I really really pray hard that u'll recover soon! Walk, Jog, Run, Jump and do all sorta activities.

Seeing you lying on the bed..immobile..cant really lift ur hands as well...haix. and all i can do is to feed u milo and water. But no matter what, Get well soon!



its ALL unexpected

THAT POP-UP


i still hate the way the system works. It doesnt gives you the time to be mentally prepared. It just shock you out of nowhere. Each time you type in ur userid and personalised password, you wonder..will i get a shock now? AT the moment! And then this damn screen pops out telling you that the grades are up. So many times ive got that shock and it can just spoil my day well w bad grades. sighs.


Worst still, papers are not really returned..you either don't know where you have gone wrong or..forgt where the hell u went wrong.



live with it

13 Oct 07: Ajisen

13th OCT 2007


Finally this meet up is carried out successfully! With the three of us (Xiang, Koon, Yin) heading towards Far East. hahas...this lil sis of mine tagged along as she needs my help in her buying of makeup! Thinking back, i dont remember myself being so vain at the age of 17. Probably yes, but not to the extent of spending hundreds of dollars on branded cosmetics in exchange for enhanced confidence and moments of radiance. It seems it really matters in your order of birth. The youngest may 'grow up' the fastest under the influence of the growing or grown up sisters.

Oh, back to the outing~ The rain din really dampen our moods in the shoppin and i din return empty handed! Got a dress and a belt. Replenish the needs for nail polishes. ALmost Almost tempted to get a footwear again! ZZzz. Its simply too troublesome to be girls. Hahas. One thing after another. Endless things to buy, endless temptations to bring home the goods with the swipe of the card. THIS OUGHT TO STOP! ahhas, before my savings run dry.

Had dinner with these 2 ladies at Ajisen. Yupps, my soupy food. hahas..Gave my pathetic sis a treat and to thank her for what she has done for me.




Xiang caught a photo of me ..

Why do I look so engrossed ...hahas.


The 3 of us! Kinda love this collage. hahas :]]] Fetish for blacks and browns! =p

And then it sets me into wonder what keeps this friendship that long. Probably one of the longest out of the 2. 7 years it had been. As simple as it is, i guess..its understanding. Remember she always tell me, she can tell if I'm sad or happy easily from nowhere but my eyes. I thought it was amazing then. Can my eyes really tell that much? And i realised...only true understanding of one..then you'll know. Some words may not need to be said.... For all the past unhappiness friends have among friends, even between good friends. Well, i do believe that even good friends have conflicts w each other probably minor ones. BUt at the end of the day, only the true friends stay. And cheers to this still lasting friendship.




Oh Goey, I seriously think that she can be ur disciple.



Cool.

End of the day :]



ANd sis came back from HongKong yester!



my gift:


REasonably nice ;]]]

RETAIL THERAPY



Its a long long retail therapy today! (from 2pm-10pm) Met all my retail therapists, (i.e. the malls and retail outlets) today at Orchard with my 2 sisters! Cant really remember when was the last time that the 3 sisters actually shopped together. It still feels great to shop with your biological sisters - talking bout all kinds of crap under the world, not only crap but also people whom you can disregard ur image totally and share the deepest secrets as well. And i love them, esp when they have been somewhat a good pillar for me when i was down and weak. I remembered just one month ago when i walked to them telling them "hey, i really wanna thank you gals for being there for me. And I don't know how to thank you all but i really really appreciate it'' . It feels kinda weird when I thanked them, but I really want them to know...That support was valuable and important for me!


And after weeks and weeks of mugging...plus weeks of high-intensity stress before that. I deserve the retail therapy i guess... (sounds like an excuse huhs...but well...) Ive spent quite alot..restocking makeups as well...and yea...makeups nowadays are not cheap....esp when u come to realised the importance of using 'branded' makeups..got my top from ZARA again...footwear..fanciful stationaries..





Sisters cam-whoring together!


my 2 GREAT sisters~~~ their reluctance to cooperate with the photographer..hahas

How alike are we?! Some people said we look really alike, well...other than the eyes..hahas

elder sis! and she's always not ready for my shots. hahas. TT

*POSED* told them to act fierce..since they always quarrel over hmm.....stupid issues..HAHAS. and this lucky couple is leaving for Hong Kong on Tues...*envy*



and its really tempting to take a pic each time i pass by a mirror..hahas!


paper weights can be so fanciful nowadays...really pretty! but hahas...i din buy them of coz..they are expensive..for me...




its getting harder to save money as I grow..




And after this therapy..the ball for school starts rolling again.






happy

I



Ive suddenly realised the importance of 'i'. This simple one-letter, frequently-used word, never seems to send this simple message to me before. Words are said so much easier without the word 'i'. Ther goes to show, even 'i' can indicate the presence of pride, sincerity and sometimes willingness and formality esp when it comes to things like ' i'm sorry', 'i love you', 'i promise'. Isnt it easier to say it by ejecting 'I'? (relatively speaking) 'I' can be a word thats difficult to bring it out at times. Definitely ther's some reasons behind it, sub-consicious or conscious. The use of "I" can probably indicate how much sincerity one has. And those are only some examples. Of coz, it applies to many other things.



*just random** :]






dreams are hard to follow, but don't let anyone tear them away

2 papers DOWN!


So far so good! The two mcqs paper so far - Changing Landscapes of Singapore and Psychology. I call the psychology's mcq test - rapid recognition test! In one hour, you ought to answer 100 questions which equates to less than 36 secs for each question. (or even lesser after deducting time to shade the OAS) Its really zzooom in for key words esp short questions and tada, the answer! Its amazing how i managed to complete the paper. But i hope the negative marking wont pull me down. *pray hard*
Left with 2 papers now. And the MOst worrying and sickening SOuth Asian is next in the queue. No,no...i haven surrender totally yet! Arranged a mugging session with this buddy of mine whom i haven seen for a few weeks.. at national lib tml!

looking forward to dance tml!! :]
im waiting for fri. waiting to see ****
waiting for weekends, for retail therapy
waiting for weekends, for slp.
waiting for weekends, to spend some time for myself.
waiting for weekends, to listen to songs WHOLEHEARTEDLY



waiting and waiting...and i miss so many ppl!






but now ..back to reality.

its still mugging.



mugging at the hours when everyone is asleep which always make me feel so lonely. (hahas.but its more conducive for studies, if the brain cooperates)

mugging with tired eyes and brain.

mugging and stoning for a while.

mugging and thinking bout the papers.

mugging and thinking how am i gonna pass this week too.
