Stuck between lift doors again

Rushed into the lift yesterday, door closes while I am midway in, got stuck between the doors, apologised three times to everyone in the lift while still stuck, finally managed to get in, quickly turned and face the door and pretended to be busy adjusting my earphones.

A dream

Since a few months ago I have this dream of travelling around the world after I graduate, working a few months in each country, in any occupation, then going to another country and repeating until I've visited and worked in most of the 196 countries in the world.

Is it possible? Do I have the courage or the means?

I hope I won't read this years later and regret not fulfilling this dream though.

Kindergarten

I suddenly remembered when I was in kindergarten I once got very surprised when a classmate told me she saw me outside of school, because I thought my face is the same as everyone else.
I thought I could recognise other people but other people surely couldn't recognise me.

And also how excited I got playing some ATM game with my nursery best friend.
We would sit opposite each other and pretend the other person is an ATM machine, and I always got very impatient when it was my turn to be the ATM because I wanted to be the one using the ATM.
(Money faced kiddo!!!!!)

And how I almost cried when I thought I wouldn't get to wear a pink dress for my class performance in K2.
There are pink dresses and white dresses, and each girl was randomly assigned to a colour.
(I got a pink dress in the end though.)

And how I was so afraid I would be late to school. I seriously have a phobia of being late to school, I think I was afraid of seeing all the "uh oh you are in trouble" faces of my classmates when I open the door to the classroom. Even though the teacher has never really punished anyone for being late before.

And how happy I was when I got to play "hot cross buns" with my kindergarten crush. (HAHAHA can't believe I have a crush at that age, omg)

And and and how I always got very excited when the opening music of the pink panther cartoon comes up when the teacher plays the cartoon in class.

HAHAHAHA.
Can't really say I miss those days, but they were good to reminisce about lolol.

Every time I read my old posts, even those I wrote recently, I feel really embarrassed.
Why did I use those childish emoticons? Why did I write that? Why is my sentence worded so strangely? Why the weird colours?
Argh. Forever can't please myself.
I hope no one I know reads here.

I love Christmas
for all the peppermint-chocolate
flavoured things it brings~

Wakeboarding and MBS

Wakeboarded for the first time in my life yesterday!
Wow, it's just as difficult as it looks, I took a few tries before finally getting up on the board and riding.
The falling part was frustrating, but once I finally managed to get up and ride, it felt really really really awesome.
Made all the salty, pee diluted sea water I drank worthwhile yo hahahah.

And I finally got to swim in the infinity pool at MBS yesterday too!
The previous time I went I had my period, so all I could do was sit at the edge and take photos of my friends :'(
But this time there's nothing to stop me from going in ehehehe
The view from up there was breathtaking, and although technically it was just blocks and blocks of lighted up concrete beside a river, I can't stop looking.
I love my stars and mountains and stuff but somehow I find busy cities with their lighted skyscrapers equally fascinating.

Just realised, the past few days were all about water activities. Wild wild wet for Yuenyee's birthday on saturday (haven't been there in years lol), plus wakeboarding and swimming yesterday.
By the way, I am now having the worst muscle aches of my 18 years of life (not exaggerating) from the wakeboarding yesterday.
My body hurts in places I didn't know can hurt, omg.

私わ干物女です　：\

Braces free lower teeth!

I took off my lower braces today!
Was actually too lazy to blog about this but it feels quite significant so I thought I had to record it down somehow.
The dentist told me it will feel weird and slimy, and it really did. I never thought it would feel slimy though, seems kind of strange for teeth to feel slimy.
Come to think of it, my dentist has seen me change from a buckteethed 14-15 year old into a 18 year old with nicer looking teeth.
About 4 years!
He has seen me visit his office in my secondary school uniform, in my nanhua plaits, in dyed light brown hair, in NP's t-shirt, in ugly hair, in ugly and faded hair, in short hair, back to dark brown hair....
BUT FOREVER IN UGLY HAIR >:((((((((

Anyway, wow. One more realisation today. I shall have a realisation for every post.
HAHA. Thanks for fixing my teeth, Dr Ong!

Gonna return next week to get my retainers and start wearing them full time.
I am not good with these though, wearing things in my mouth full time I mean.
I had to wear teeth plates last time full time as well and I mostly cheated by wearing them at night only.

Argh I can't type anymore, my head is throbbing. Damn the headache, had it since 5 hours ago, went to nap for 3 hours and it's still there damn.

I shall leave you with this:

 The guy in white was trying to pry a secret out of the guy in black. He actually already knew his secret (that he's living with a woman) but he wants him to admit it. Black does not know White knows his secret, and this is how he responded:

 

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!

It's not so funny here, but I really laughed out loud when I watched it.

This is my first J-drama (whee), it's called Hotaru no Hikari.

It's quite amusing and only 10 episodes, go watch it!

I was wondering for days what those weird red streaks on my foolscap papers and notes were until I realised today that they are from my nail polish. -_-|
No wonder there seem to be new streaks every time I look at my notes. And I thought something creepy was going on.

Anyway, I realised I just can't seem to get enough sleep the past few weeks. It's like I can ONLY sleep 4-5 hours every night. There's just simply no time for me to sleep more, no matter how hard I try to carve out more time. Strange, I didn't seem to have this problem the previous semesters.

Ok, so that's two realisations today, everyone.
Gotta go back to work!

Gerontophobia

I've got Gerontophobia.

Fear of growing old. Stop please, time.

I am halfway in but I really don't want to enter adulthood.

I will no longer be a teenager in slightly under 2 years.

Scary, scary thought.

If only there's a time machine to bring me back to childhood, to when I was around 8 years old.
Life then seemed much better then.
But I am probably just viewing the past with rose tinted glasses. The past always seems much better doesn't it?
I think I am more afraid of becoming a worthless adult than growing old though.
I am afraid of becoming a person that leads a mediocre life, doesn't accomplish anything remarkable and then passes away with few caring.
But I suppose that description fits many people in the world, since not everyone can be Steve Jobs or MJ after all.

Anyway, I was watching a music video on youtube and saw a comment someone had written in reply to another person, who wrote that he hates being a teenager because he feels that he's still a kid inside when everyone around him is changing. 

Here's the comment:

"Well my friend, don't worry about being a kid, I remember a phrase from a mexican writer named Jose Emilio Pacheco that says "There's no adults, only aged kids". So try to enjoy your life as you were a kid as long as posible. Greetings from Mexico." - bobocafe2

This did cheer me up a little, maybe I'll keep thinking of myself as an aged kid then. :)

-

After having short hair for a month, I have concluded that I don't look too good in short hair. Then again, I don't look good in long hair either. The fault lies with my hair, that's my final conclusion. I have inferior hair genes! Stupid post is stupid.

Realised I posted exactly 1 month after my last post. One month since I cut my hair!

Will my life ever change?

Right now it feels like it will keep going on at this pace forever. The future feels so predictable.

Something new please, life!

The real stuff isn't here.

AHHHHHH.
I am about to burst.
Burst from the pressure of life.

Short hair

I am now a short haired girl.
I didn't mean to be one but it turned out that way.
I GOT A HAIRCUT!!! My hair is now officially in the short category.
This is the first time ever in the 18 years of my life I have short hair .
Actually about 15 years to be precise, cos my last memory of having short hair is when I was 3.
I already have hair that can be tied by the time I was in nursery (4).
This is so weird. I keep running my fingers through my hair and keep getting a little surprised each time my fingers touched air at my neck area.
I don't hate it but I don't love it either.... yet.
I kept the hair that the hairstylist snipped off. She tied my hair into a ponytail and just cut the whole ponytail off. Cool.
I was really fascinated with that cut off ponytail when she handed it to me. HAHA

Of Blood and Serious Matters

Haven't blogged for awhile because I was/am lazy, and I am a little embarrassed because my period actually brought about the motivation for this post. My life is so boring that the only exciting thing happening to me is getting my menses.

HAH. Anyway, the story is, I just got it today and I am torn over if I should be happy or disappointed.
Happy is because whoo!!! I am going overseas on the 26th and by then my period should have ended. Cuz no one likes to take care of a bleeding uterus on a vacation. Plus my skin gets really horrible about a week before the start of my menses (it usually is already horrible but it gets worse right before) so this means that I am not going to wake up to horribly embarrassing skin again for the next 3 weeks!!
BUT. I am going to Marina Bay Sands for a stay on Sunday (thanks to yuenjie heh heh) and I was looking forward to swimming in the infinity pool.
This new situation means no more infinity pool :( :( :( ARGH. So frustrating. Never mind, I will just go and dip my toes and fingers into the pool. And enjoy the view woot.

Today is results day by the way. For NP students, not so sure about the other polys though.
My gpa's 3.70 for this sem, but my cumulative is still an ok sounding but average-y 3.46. My previous cumulative gpa was 3.36, which means I only improved by 0.1 grade point. I've calculated and I will never hit a cumulative gpa of 3.70 ever even if I get 4.0 every semester for the rest of my poly life. If I'm not wrong, to get into business courses in local universities, poly grads need at least a gpa of 3.7+. I am doomed. DOOMED!! All thanks to the C+ I got for Life Management Skills last sem. Which was 4 credit points. 4 credit points for such a nonsense module, glad that it's now axed. Lucky Year 1s. And also thanks to the few Bs I got for some modules the previous semesters, Bs that I know could be B pluses or As if I worked a little harder. In conclusion, all thanks to myself.

AAHHH forget it, all these problems can be solved by committing suicide. KIDDING! I won't ever commit suicide even if my gpa is 0.1. Everyone please do not commit suicide or even contemplate committing suicide over academic stuff. So not worth it. So so not worth it. At least go on a world tour first. My dream is to go on a world tour alone. Yeah, someday I will earn millions every year and go on 6 month long world tours every 6 months.

HEHEHEHEHEHEHE. I was really smiling when typing that out. An 18 year old can dream right?

August

Haven't posted for a long time!

Shall write what I remember of the past few weeks.

But first... EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!

WHOOHOO!!! My last paper was on friday, and till now I still can't get used to the idea that I don't have a paper to study for, a report to write, a presentation to prepare, or some other schoolwork to do.

LIFE IS BLISS.

Chalet, MBS stay and Korea all in next month! September's gonna be really awesome.

By the way, I had a fever one day before my first paper, which was the previous friday.

Bad omen. Bad bad omen.

That friday morning was also the first time I vomitted in like ten years?

My last memory of me vomitting was went I was 8. And now I'm 18.

Not sure if I ever vomitted between 8 to 18 but if I did I can't remember.

Vomitting SUCKS. That feeling right before you are going to vomit, and the taste in your mouth after that. EURGHH disgusting.

Hope I won't vomit for another decade.

Or until I get pregnant or something which will be a long time or not at all.

My closest cousin turned 21 on 15th August!!!

I used to stay at her house everyday (from morning till evening only though) from when I was about 3 till 12. And we are both only children, so we were as close as real sisters.

Miss those childhood days :'(

So anyway, she held a birthday chalet at Chevrons and I only remember the birthday cake which tasted like heaven and how I won 5 bucks at mj with my cousins.

EHEHE.

Please understand, I am usually the loser, so when I win I get really happy. HAHAHAHA~

And.... Jacq turned 18 on 17th August!

So many age related milestones.

We celebrated her birthday at East Coast, and that day was the first time I roller bladed in four years.

I have never been good on those wheels ever in my life though, I always look like a toddler just learning how to walk in them.

And it's so embarrassing watching little kids whiz by me with no safety gear whatsoever while I am wearing knee and elbow guards and trying my best not to fall or look like a duck.

But it's okay, I fell only five times I think, I could have fallen six times if you look on the positive side and at least I can skate faster than someone walking.

Not bad, not bad. Trolololololololololoololol.

Going to end my post with this song, Time by Hans Zimmer. It's from the Inception soundtrack.

Take a few minutes to listen and don't think about anything, just let your mind relax. I like to think it gives my mind a rest ;)

Listen to this with earphones btw!

Super Junior - Intro+Bonamana Live performance 2010 SBS Gayo Daejun

My favourite group and my favourite movie (Inception)!
WHOOOHOOO
HAHAHAHA the intro was hilarious.
They even had the zero gravity 2nd dream level fight scene from Inception.
The moment I saw them sleeping on the chairs I thought of Inception but I didn't know they are really going to act it out.
HEHEHEHEE I was just listening to the Inception soundtrack today. Love that movie (Y)(Y)(Y)(Y)(Y)

Super Junior - Super Man : ComeBack Stage 1/2

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM

One of their most awesome performances imo.
Love Heechul's part at 1:39.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Knew of SUJU since 2009 but didn't know I will start being a fangirl of them in June 2011.
Hell, can't believe I'm even a fangirl of a kpop group.
Last time I even used to find Sorry Sorry rly annoying cos it played at my workplace on loop every single day.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLLLL STRANGE!

Scientific Tuesdays - Awesome milk trick!

wow this is cool

My horoscope for today

Woah!

My horoscope app just told me today that I could use a good night's sleep.

Why is it so accurate every time???? Scary.

But they say horoscopes usually give very general advices or comments that can apply to anyone though, so this might be the case.

But I think this is really freaky.

It says 

"You could use a good night's sleep, Moonchild (I am a Cancer). But even as this thought resonates in your head, you are thinking up reasons why you simply can't get a good night's sleep tonight. There are thing to do, problems to solve, and lists to make for all of tomorrow's obligations as well. But if you don't get some rest and relaxation, you will burn yourself out. Blah blah........... So get to bed early more often. It will make a huge difference in your productivity."

Can't believe I typed this whole thing out.

But look!

How does it even know my sleeping habits??

I have been sleeping 4 hrs per day/not sleeping at all for the past week.

This is the first time it gave me such an advice since I downloaded this app a year plus ago and this is also the first time I got by with so little sleep for so many days.

WOW.

(HAHA I sound so amazed by this app)

And anw I am burning out my face; my complexion's really horrible.

BUT I finally(!) got a good night's sleep yesterday and my skin improved!

Now I realise the importance of sleep.

Everybody please sleep early for just one day if your skin is starting to get horrible.

But for today I can't sleep yet, cos I have things to do, problems to solve and lists to....... HAHAHAHA

Anyway, table topics is over!

WHOOHOO!

I didn't do very well for my second one, my question was "Everybody tries to change the world, but no one changes himself first" or something along that line. Can't remember the exact sentence.

My speech was pretty short because I didn't have much stuff to say about this topic, plus towards the end of my speech I suddenly realised what I was going on and on about actually didn't really make any sense, and I laughed out loud to myself.

I don't think anyone notice though, hope so.

HAHAHAHA

I was going on and on about the same point, and my sentences started to get grammatically worse and I found it really funny.

Then after I laughed I can't concentrate on thinking of new things to say so I quickly concluded it.

LOL I fail.

Alright I think I should stop writing, I still gotta rush projects. :(

Goodnight!

Weird dream

Had a weird dream yesterday night.
I dreamt that Jacq is my twin and we joined a durian picking club in ngee ann together.
Must be because everyone's talking about durian lately, plus my birthday cake's a durian cake too.
LOLOLOLOLOLL so ridiculous!
I don't really like durian btw (I like the flavour though), but I love opening durians!
Get me if you want to eat durians but you don't want to open them!

Just another post complaining about myself and school work again. Don't read, I am really only typing this to myself. It's boring and whiny.

Have been watching videos (mostly variety shows) for the past 5 hours. And I have a test next tues.

Make that 2 tests.

Someone help me please!

I have no self control.

I really don't feel like studying today, and I predict I won't get any studying done tomorrow too.

I need to hire a monitor or something to monitor me at home, really.

My mom is slacking off, she used to be strict but now she totally doesn't bother me.

BUT I NEED HER TO BOTHER ME!

Worse thing is I am like this everyday, not only today.

Yuenyee tells me she feels guilty whenever she slacks off, cos she knows she should be doing her work, but I really don't feel any sense of guilt.

I just get small panic attacks when I suddenly think of the work I still have to do when I am halfway through a video or slacking, but then I just continue slacking.

Then maybe 1 hr later the panic attack comes again, then I forget about it, then the cycle continues.

How to feel guilty????

Someone tell me please.

I need to feel guilt for not doing work.

Si liao la, si liao la.

Wa bo su ka tak cei.

Wa ai ke sao tor ka.

Kam sia.

Bye bye.

Kyu Hyun - Smile [ OST - Hyena ] FIXED SUBS^^

Everybody put on your headphones and listen to this. Even people who don't like kpop.
I played this expecting it to be a boring song, but instead melted into a puddle of 17 year old goo. (Sorry, allow me to emphasize the 17 year old thing for a while more. HAHA)
His voice is really good.
Melts your stress away~

Last day being 17

So I thought I better blog something to commemorate this.

I don't want to turn 18!

I think I really have a phobia of growing older.

In the past every time I gain a year I got real happy. But now...

Someone stop time please, pause it at 12am later so I will be 17/18 forever.

Best of both worlds.

HAHA

Anyway I think this year's birthday is the most stressful one.
I don't really feel excited or anything.
I remember last time I will get sort of excited on 15th July, but today feels just like another day to me.

Btw I had a celebration with Avril, Clare, Evie, Jacq, Steph and Yuenjie yesterday, and I am rly thankful to have good friends around me.

But I am saying this only because they gave me an all expenses paid shopping trip! Hehehehehehe

HAHAHA nah kidding, it's not only because of that.

May we all stay good friends till 80!

But why am I so corny today eh?

Must be the effect of turning older.

Yesterday someone told me a rather huge secret, and today I got an email saying my bursary application is successful. YEAAAAHHHHH

16th July you better be good!

Birthday(s) outing

Whoohoo yesterday was a great day.
Went out with the secondary school clique to celebrate Cheyenne and Zhiyun's birthday. (1st and 2nd July!)
SPENT LOADS OF $$ THOUGH.
But I think spending money to buy stuff that makes you happy is worth it.
And hence this mindset explains my bank account balance.
HEH.


The day before yesterday was a good day too, cause I finally met my squadmates after quite a while.
Really love spending time with secondary school mates, they feel sort of like family.
I guess after I graduate from NP I would miss my poly friends a lot too. :'(

Anyway all the assignments, projects and tests really made enjoying myself difficult while outside.
Every once in a while I would suddenly get reminded of all the shit I have yet to complete and get a mini heart attack inside.
It's a really horrible feeling.
One day I will get extreme high blood pressure from all the mini heart attacks inside and just die, plus I am so unfit.
Eh that sounds a lil weird. Usually people get heart attacks from the high blood pressure and die right? Not the other way round?
Aiya who cares right.
But how did I get from birthdays to dying?!
I think I am getting more and more negative these days.
It's all bcomm's fault.
I hate bcomm.
Lowering my morale by shooting me with Bs and Cs.
And giving so many stupid assignments and tests.
Die bcomm, die.

This post started out pretty normal, but suddenly turned into a conversation with myself.
I better stop, or I might just type out everything I am thinking.

Goodnight, to whoever sees this! :)

haheheiho

WOAH I never knew cutting cloth was so hard.

I went to cut up a blouse just now and almost passed out from the effort.

It's either due to my lack of skills or the scissors suck or the cloth's a bitch. Or a combination.

But really, I cut till I ran out of breath.

I think it's been an hour since I finished cutting and I am still short of breath now. 

I can only take small shallow breaths and my heart is still pumping fast.

Dead. I am dead.

I really need exercise man, how can I succumb to cloth cutting?

I am so unfit it's embarrassing.

Think I ate too much (margarine coated and salted) cupcorn over the last few days. 

Wtf when I was typing that sentence above there's some explosion sound outside (probably from exploded car tyres) which gave me a surprise and made my heart beat even faster.

Now I can't breathe already la.

Don't breathe sua.

HAHAHAHA.

Alright, goodnighto

And

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZHIYUN!!

Weird uncles on bicycles

Some weird uncle on a bicycle said something to me the other day.
I didn't hear clearly, but I think it was something derogatory, cos I heard the word "chao"
Chao...... ah gua la. I didn't even look at him why did he have to come and provoke me?
Crazy.
And when I turned to look at him he was smiling creepily at me.
EURGHHHHHHHH




This isn't the first time, a few months ago another creepy uncle on a bike (AGAIN!) said something to me when he cycled past.
I think that uncle asked "what's your number?" in this deep voice that totally doesn't fit his appearance.
EWWWWWWUUUUURRRRGGGHHHH
Literally had chills down my spine man.

So people are bolder when they are on bicycles huh?
Should have smacked him on the head with my laptop.
But maybe that's a little too overboard.
I think I should start thinking of ways to deal with people like that, since I am always attracting the wrong type of people (read: weirdos) #FMLX100000000

CT IS OVER!

Been neglecting here a little cuz as above, COMMON TEST IS OVER!!!!!!
It sounds a bit ironic since I should have more time to update after exams but you know, now is the time to do all the things I want, so I forgot about this place.
HAHAHA.
As for common test, I think my second (which is also my last) paper didn't go so well.
Didn't memorise much, and made up a lot of answers on my own.
Congratulations to me.

By the way, I have good news.
I won 4 bucks in mahjong yesterday!
Woot woot!
4 bucks isn't a lot, but the significance of this event is that I very very very rarely win an mj game (completely forgot when was the last time I won), plus this time I was the only winner.
Double woot woot!
HEHE (actually Clare didn't win or lose, but I will just take it that she lost HAHA)
I am really lousy at mj, but I think I might be improving whoo.
Upping my potential to be a future tai tai. LOL. Kidding, I don't wanna be a tai tai, it's boring.

Anyway I should really get down to work soon.
Work as in uploading photos on facebook and etc. I have photos from ten thousand years ago still unseen by humankind ('cept me) in my phone.
HAHA BUT NAH.
I have much more work than that.
I still have a bcomm something due next wednesday, a report, a project, jap homework and who knows what else.
Thank god for my manager Yuenyee who keeps me updated and reminds us about schoolwork.
HEH.
Alright, gonna go soak up more fun and do all the mindless activities I want before I officially start doing work.


Bye :)

Why?

Why is Siwon so hot?



Pictures from fuckyeahchoisiwon.tumblr

kekekekekeke
SHIT I am turning into a fangirl.
No way.


*back to marketing*

Edit:

I just realised Siwon's expression in the second picture is the expression I always like to do!
That pout thing where you block your nostrils with the flesh between your lips and nose (parafiltrum). 
After months of unconscious practicing (cos I tend to do it involuntarily when I am distracted), I am an expert. HAHAHA. Hey it's hard ok, try completely blocking your nostrils with your parafiltrum until you totally can't breathe in any air through your nostrils. Really, try it.
Anw, it's really unglam though, so maybe you shouldn't do it in public. I don't know how Siwon manages to look so normal doing this. I think he even looks good in that pict.
Life is so unfair!
I don't mind being a guy if I can look like him. HAHAHAHA.


 

I have Involuntary Emotional Expression Disorder (IEED)

The other day I tweeted this:

Cos my mom threw away my stuff without asking me (again).

And there's this one time a teacher was scolding Zhiyun and I (for not greeting her when we walked past her wtf) when I suddenly burst out laughing and couldn't stop. 
Even when she stared into my eyes and said "Huiling, bu yao xiao" ("Rachel, stop laughing").
I really can't stop even though that situation wasn't very funny.

BUT today I am enlightened.
These two events are related.

Because they are symptoms of 
Involuntary Emotional Expression Disorder (IEED)!!!!

I just read a new article on cracked.com about "6 personality quirks you didn't know were medical conditions" when I came across this "medical condition" and the description sounded really familiar.

(Btw everyone should read Cracked, it will crack you up. Ha ha ha ha. But really, the site is hilarious!)


So anyway cracked.com says that 
"This condition is exactly what it sounds like: having the opposite reaction of what is expected, such as becoming depressed when you hear good news, or laughing at a tense or unpleasant place, such as when someone tries to start an argument with you."


It is a common condition apparently, like there are people who laugh at funerals and stuff.
Weirddddddd. I hope I never will laugh at a funeral though, unless its my own.
Aahhh. Touchwood. I sort of love my life (even though it sucks sometimes) and I don't wish to die so soon.


But there is a cure for this condition by the way. It's cough syrup.


HAHA ACTUALLY I (SEKRETLY) THINK COUGH SYRUP TASTES PRETTY GOOD HAHAHA.

Networking skills test

Didn't go very well, for me at least.
Made so many mistakes.
The teacher's really sharp man, she noticed every small thing I did.
Don't really like bcomm this sem, we are tested on weird stuff. Like speaking on the phone, eating while carrying out a conversation, and speaking in front of a class impromptu on a random topic.
The last one's gonna kill me, but I am already dead from the first two.
:\

Tuesday's finally over!
It's was hell.
And I haven't done anything up till now (it rhymes!) since coming home at about 9 pm.
Feel so guilty, but shiokkkkk.

Maybe I should start doing something now. Like editing the bcomm report.
HAIYA
SPOIL MOOD

Never been so stressed before

SHIT

My part of a report to be completed by today.

Networking skills test tomorrow (WTS).

Japanese test tomorrow.

Japanese homework that has to be handed in tomorrow.

I am still halfway through the report. 

Not prepared for the 2 tests yet and haven't even touched the homework.

ARGHHHHHHHHHH

No idea what to title this

Met up with The Group in the afternoon to prepare for a presentation.
We planned to meet at 12 but because of the damned snooze button, I got out of bed only at 11 (instead of 10) and so was late by about an hour.
But in the end I was the third to reach (Jacq and Steph were later), and Clare reached only like 10 minutes before (I think). 
So Yuenyee, who was punctual, waited at KAP Macs for 45 minutes by herself.
Sorry yuenjie!!
If not for her I think our group would sink, really.

Some malay dude asked for my number today when I was walking to clementi's bus stop.
I was so surprised I really gave it to him.
This is a rare occurrence, obviously. HAHAHA.
After I was less shocked I asked him if it's a dare but he said no.
Anw his first text to me was "Hi Rachel, blahblah blah.. Btw I liked what you were wearing just now. Nice cardigan. :)"
But I wasn't wearing a cardigan.
So I replied and told him that.
Then he replied and said it looked like one, and asked me if I was wearing something with long sleeves.
But I wasn't wearing long sleeves too.
Way to go man, that guy.
But I decided to be nice and replied "yeap, sort of"
LOL I bet he asked the wrong person.
He probably saw some other girl, paused to consider if he should ask her for her number, then approached the wrong person in the end.
HAHAHA.
Too bad for him.

sundown racepack collection

Weekend  taken up by two days of events work.
12 hours for both days.
Kill me please, someone.
I don't want to wake up at 6.30 am tomorrow and travel to expo again #fml
Why didn't the world end today?
I could be lounging in heaven eating grapes now.

"such a stiff upper lip you possess"

Was reading a book when I came across the phrase above and was reminded of one of the songs Raindrops always plays.


From wiki (as always), "one who has a stiff upper lip displays fortitude in the face of adversity".
Alrrrrright then! I have decided that I shall keep my upper lip permanently stiff too. Hahahaha


Got a little sick of this song when I was still working at Raindrops, but I haven't heard it in a long time so now I actually find it quite enjoyable. The lyrics are pretty cute. "Chinnnnnn up!"




What made good queen bess
Such a great success?
What made wellington
Do what he did at waterloo?
What makes every englishman
A fighter through and through?
It isnt roast beef, or ale, or home, or mother
Its just a little thing they sing to one another
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
Carry on, old fluff
Chin up, keep muddling through
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
When the goings rough
Pip pip to old man trouble
And a toodly-oo too
Carry on through thick and thin
If you feel youre in the right
Does the fighting spirit win?
Quite, quite, quite, quite, quite
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
When youre in the stew
Sober or blotto, this is your motto
Keep muddling through
(instrumental bridge)
When a bounder starts to hiss
You must give him blow for blow
Make the blighter say, "whats this?
'ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo"
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
When youre in the stew
Sober or blotto, this is your motto
Keep muddling through
Keep muddling through
Keep muddling through
Keep muddling through


Today really wasn't a good day, may tomorrow be a better one.

1253am

Screwed up the telephone etiquette test a little I think.

But still, it's over!

Things I need to do:

1. Proposal to potential sponsors for CEM project (due mon)

2. Idea blueprint

3. Tutorials

4. Jap homework

5. Bcomm long report

BYEBYE HAIR. STOP FALLING OK.

Sphinx

"maintained a silence that would put a Sphinx to shame"

HAHA I like this phrase :3

This is The Great Sphinx of Giza

Got this riddle from wiki, it's supposed to be the most famous riddle in history asked by a Sphinx:

Which creature in the morning goes on four legs, at mid-day on two, and in the evening upon three, and the more legs it has, the weaker it be?

The answer is man.

Man crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and then walks with a cane in old age.

COOL HUHH

i am a stressed out ant

I think I am too stressed.

Suddenly so many strands of hair are falling out.

No joke, even my eyelashes are getting sparse.

Every time when I am doing work suddenly one or two strands of eyelashes will fall onto my paper/laptop/phone. 

WTSSSSSSSS :( :(

Anyway I was so nervous the whole day today cause of the stupid telephone etiquette test for BCOMM2.

My teacher is supposed to call us and we will have to pretend to be from a call centre and handle her call like a pro.

Every time the phone vibrates I almost jump out of my skin.

In the end I didn't even receive the call cause the teacher didn't manage to have time to call everyone today, so tomorrow is another day of torture.

At least till 1pm.

:|

Actually it's only a 5-10 minutes phone call and this test is only worth 5% my grade but helllllllllllll, it's really mental torture man.

Please let tomorrow be over soon!

"Good afternoon, Pacific Century Call Centre. This is Rachel speaking, how may I help you?"

WAHHHH GOOSEBUMPSSSS.

I rather go jiak sai.

Nah, not really. 

Haven't done a picture post in awhile so

..... tada! I need a place to display all the nonsense photos I took

 I built a nanhua.
AHAHAHAHA.
I like to shout "nanhua!" every time I throw a nan tile.
I have a talent and that's self amusement.
HAHAHAHAHAH 

 Lousy wahjong always has this glitch. Where are my tiles????????????

 I sneezed a bunch of wontons

Apple juice which I left in the freezer and forgot about. I like it though. It's slushyyyy.

 Finger spa.
HAHAHAHAHA

 BRAINSSSS

(this is the filling in a xiaolongbao btw)

 At Steph's house baking a cake for Avril and Clare's birthdays and I am in shock.

 And this is one of Steph's dogs Daniel.

Kidding! His name is Pudding but I think it's too gay for a male dog, so I insist on calling it Daniel.

If I have a dog I would call it Daniel :3

Daniel (Pudding) is not caged up by the way, the grills are just a partition.
 

This is the cake we baked. Doesn't look like much but it's pretty good (Y)

Just realised the kangaroos on my packet of elastics (for my braces) are wearing gloves. They are Kangaroo Jacks! Cute :3

 An eyecandy to end the post. YAY for more cuteness HAHA

gandhi meeting+cool shit

Today was great :3
Met up with gandhi (OBS) for dinner together after almost two months of not seeing them.
YAYYY
It would be a pity if we all just lose contact with each other after the camp.
Anw, we started talking about CCAs and I realised the number of CCA points I have is atrocious.
I have a grand total of 3. HAHAHAHAHA
Eh I used have an A for CCA (I think), now I'm like a lazy slacker.

THIS CANNOT GO ON.
Nah, I say only. Sleep is important too.
I wanna join astronomy. I can sneak some sleep time while lying down and star gazing.
HAHA KIDDING.
I don't love sleep that much.

K so now my CCA options are: astronomy, HI Club, muay thai, floorball, and handball
I really suck at ball games though.
But then again, ball games are fun.

And I found out today that one of my friends proposed to his girlfriend.
A real proposal all. With a ring and an intention to really get married someday. (The ring is not a cheapo ring btw)
His girlfriend agreed, so now he is technically engaged.
I was thinking like WOAHHHH.
This is cool.
And then I remembered I am at an age where I can get married too :'(
This is weird. I can still clearly remember stuff that happened when I was 8. Which is like a decade ago.
A decade.
WOW
I wanna go back to being 8 to see what it feels like.

WHOO

I have something to announce.

Two of my eye candies use the same phone as me.

One of them is Song Joong Ki. 

Muahahahahaha bb FTWWWWW.

Also, I have no idea how to do my japanese homework.

In addition, I want some buttered baguette. And black tea.


Goodbye, my diet. We have only been together for two days and I didn't have a good time.



P.S. Today's post is composition style.

R

URGHHHHH.
Feeling so sick now.

I have been typing urghhh everywhere today. Twitter, texts. I think I said it aloud too. Cuz the way I feel now really calls for an URGHH I think. And I think I am delirious. Don't know what I am talking about.

BRB I shall go wallow in self pity now. Hahaha.

Today's the royal wedding anyway!
It's cool, the papers had stories of previous royal marriages like how this womanizer king from the 1700s was forced to marry a lady with horrible BO and stuff.
HAHA.
History's cool, love it.

I think Prince William should got to a hair loss centre by the way.
A prince shouldn't be balding! If he can cure it why not?
But my mom said he is still more attractive then his bro, Prince Harry. And I agree.
LOLL

today

Attended the first jap 103 lesson today. Totally no one I know there again.

Hate new classes srzly. Awkward and boring.

Anw I have decided not to snack after 8 to reduce the size of my face (which is the size and shape of the moon btw, if you don't know)

But I failed. I tried, I really did. But I only lasted for 20 minutes before I went to get a packet of crackers.

And after I finished I got another.

Hellllllllll.

So I quickly went to brush my teeth so that I won't be tempted to get another snack.

But it doesn't really work, I will still eat and brush again.

I think fat from food I eat goes to my face in about 3 minutes. I swear after eating my face swells.

HAHA do I sound like a skinny girl complaining she's fat?

But really, I don't mind if fats go into my tummy, just not into my face.

I can wear baggy clothes everyday to hide my tummy but I can't wear a mask.

On a lighter note, tmr (today actually) should be fun! Going to play laserquest (?) with C, J, S and Y. (HAHA not trying to act gossip girl I'm just lazy to spell the names)

WHOOHOO.

EGGCITED.

Chatted with cutie Irene at the bus stop for bout an hour today. Knew her since I was in pri 3 but we weren't close back then. It's nice that we got to meet again in poly :3

Cheer up k Irene? And let's meet up for "coffee by the window" soon LOL

Inception Soundtrack HD - #7 Mombasa (Hans Zimmer)

Next time I shall play this when preparing for school. Bet I'll be damn fast HAHA

Are people really as they seem?

Or are my observations right?

I don't want to judge people wrongly. But it's really hard not to judge sometimes.

FUNNY PICTURE HERE

Saw this one on cracked.com, made me laugh for awhile HAHA

 

Edit: Ok maybe you have to read the article then you will find this picture funny. Click the link on top! It's about how children perceive the adult world anyway. Does this seem a little funnier now? Hahaha. This is supposed to be what children think happens during a surgery. LOL

How to Write a Report Last Minute - wikiHow

How to Write a Report Last Minute - wikiHow

I have anticipated my situation and is now searching for solutions in advance.
HAHA

I met a customer on a school trip

I suddenly remembered something I have to write here so I won't forget!

I saw one of Raindrops' customers when I was on the TRM cruise last week!

Her name is Cat I think. She's very distinctive cuz she's tall, tan, wears specs, and has this poofy mushroom hairstyle.

She made a reservation at Raindrops last month for bout 8 people, and there was this little girl whom she was trying to amuse, and she kept referring to herself as Auntie Cat so it's stuck at the back of my mind. (Her reservation was under Cat too)

That time they happened to the only customers in the cafe (and I was the only service staff) so I paid more attention to them.

WOAH I was amazed.

The world is srsly damn small.

When I saw her on the cruise I was wondering to myself: She looks rly familiar. Is she a lecturer in NP or something?

But I asked my classmates and they don't seem to have seen her before.

Then we walked to the karaoke room and I took about 3 minutes to recall she was one of RDC's customers.

WOAHH WOAH.

Am I overeacting? But I rly think it's very amazing that I can see a customer on a school trip.

A school trip that is technically not in Singapore on top of that.

She looks something like this by the way.

I was lazy to draw her legs but she's tall anyway. You can visualise. 

HEHE. Alrightt gonna go continue on my report now. It's in a mess.

Will update again soon!

i am in year 2 tomorrow

re-po-to

I hope Japanese 103 doesn't start next week, cuz I have forgotten most of what I learnt in 101 and 102.

Gotta go brush up on my Japanese first before facing my smartass classmates.

WOAHHHHH the day has come.

DOOMZDAY IS TMR.

Holidays can never be too long. The moment school is about to start suddenly everyone wishes the holidays will be longer even if it was already very long in the first place.

I remember last time in primary school starting a new year was damn fun.

Everyone goes to the bookshop to buy new textbooks, wrap them in plastic wraps, and I get a new bag and pencil case whoo.

Egg-citing.

But nowww. A new year is just the end of another holiday.

Anway, should I get a job this sem? 

I quit my previous job, and money is running low.

So hard! Being a student is so hard! I give up on life!

HAHAHA I kid. I love being a student cuz we get student prices.

KK BYE

Queky

I used to have a teacher in sec one whose name is Mr Quek.

So we called him Queky behind his back. HAHAHA walaoweh childish.

Anyway I suddenly remembered an incident in sec one. There was a period we didn't like him much.

He taught us PE and some other weird subject anyway. 

Probably creative thinking or something. HAHA that's what I am guessing but I think it's wrong cuz I don't remember having a subject called creative thinking in secondary school.

But nvm let's just take it as that for now.

So once during that "creative thinking" class he told us to split into groups and come up with a product that would make our lives easier. (standard, teachers forever give this kind of assignment whether in primary school or secondary school --.,-- no creative thinking at all)

Our group came up with a product called.. (hehehehehe)

the automatic duck cutter!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

kinda mean huh? But I think Queky was also quite amused himself when he came over to look at our mindmap of the automatic duck cutter.

He chuckled and asked why we came up with this idea.

And we answered something like: Because a duck has a hard body and is difficult to cut, so we think that this product would be suitable for people who wish to cut ducks. Our product has multiple blades to help to slice a duck too.

HAHAHA LIKEA SERIOUS

We even drew out a duck and the machine LOLOLOLOLOL

WOW

I wish I am a surgeon. (But I can't stand gore so..)

Plus look at that tiny hand.

The hands and feet of babies and kids kills me. Plus their faces.
Why are they so small and cute?????

I wonder if I would start speaking in third person if ever become a mother next time.

Like: "Mommy buy this for you ok?"

or

"Don't make Mommy angry or no chocolates for you!"

HAHA or maybe start acting and speaking cutesy.

Like: "Don't make Mommy angry or no sweet sweet for you!"


That would be quite fun I think. HAHAHA

teatime

An apple strudel and a cup of tea are the best things on earth.

Other than ramen and beef that is.

HAHA I AM IN HEAVEN NOW

I DON'T WANT SCHOOL TO START LEH SIANNN AJSKLDFHCNFWEUIH

BOOM

Life is boring.

If only we can all confirm that the world is ending next year, then everyone will have an excuse to go out and have fun all day.

And we can all die together and go to the afterworld together; I think the scariest part about dying is that you go alone, so many if everyone goes together with you it wouldn't be too scary.

Unless all your sins get read out in front of everyone then gg.

Baking a cake for Avril (Lavigne)'s and Clare (IKHua)'s birthdays tomorrow at Steph's house. It's meant to be a surprise, but i don't think they come here, so it's fine :D

What cake should we bake?? Wasabi cake! We can lie to them it's a greentea cake or something.

HAHAHA KEEDING. 

Anyway I have started watching running man! Avril and Evie kept saying how nice it is so i went to watch.

It's hilarious man, i watched till i almost died laughing.

Now i am still watching, and because everyone's asleep already i have to do silent laughs.

So i look like i am spasming every few seconds.

Like my mouth is wide open, and my body is rocking back and forth, i am making weird soft "hur hur hur" noises.

All of you go watch!

The complete episodes with english subtitles are located in a very secret place (heh heh) in youtube though, so you might have a hard time finding.

Ok la it's not very secret, but it's hard to find.

Because the videos can only be accessed by links, and they won't appear in search results.

Are you like WOAH! there are videos like that??

HAHA I was, cause this is really the first time i saw such videos.

But actually i think people with a youtube account, who has ever uploaded a video onto youtube, should know this.

So anyway the links are listed on someone's channel.

Cool right.

These type of videos are called unlisted videos anyway.

\m/

I feel like i know some top secret now. Hehe

movieeeees

just finished mean girls and just like heaven. woah all i'm watching are old chick flicks and rom-coms. maybe i should watch something more intellectual. i feel like watching inception again. but it doesn't feel the same watching it outside of a theatre :(((

i watched inception twice within 5 days when i was released last year. awesomeeeee movie. and i just watched world invasion: battle of los angeles last week i think. it involved a lot of running around and shooting. and a scene where they stabbed a (poor) injured alien all over to see where is his/her weak spot(s). i liked the scene where they stabbed the heart and liquid burst out. gross but wow. of course there were also a lot of noble, sacrificial scenes showcasing the bravery of mankind when faced with water hungry (thristy) aliens blah blah. in conclusion i think the movie was made to show how america's military is smarter than the rest of the world's. cuz in the movie they were the ones who found out the aliens' hideout (??) first, managed to destroy them, and eventually passed this knowledge to the rest of the world to help them (the rest of the world) kill all the aliens in their respective countries/cities.

i realise i'm just babbling on and on. alright i have nothing else to say now, my stomach hurts and i have to decide whether to sleep or watch another movie. and if i decide to watch another movie which one should i watch. sorry for the lack of proper capitalization and overall english usage in the post, i was too lazy (and in pain) to bother. haha alright goodnight and bye again, to whomever is here.

:)

(now the opening bars of samantha ronson's built this way (from mean girls) keeps replaying in my mind shitttttttt)

Hello

One day when i am really bored i will not wash my face and stare at the mirror the whole day to witness the formation of a ....... pimple. Ok i'm just kidding. No actually i'm kidding about being kidding just now. Nah ok i'm really kidding.

Bb, i'm going on a cruise tomorrow. 

Back from OBS

Back from OBS 2 days ago, didn't know that it will be so fun. 

:3

Everyone in Gandhi was just awesome, love the splat, blind mice, ghost stories, eating together at the cookhouse and everything. 

Will upload pictures after I steal them from facebook!

HAHAHA look at Hyun Bin's face

HAHAHAHAHA
I can't stop laughing while watching Secret Garden!
I am turning into a sloth, lazing at home all day watching dramas.
I guess going OBS tomorrow is good for me then! /optimistic

Going to OBS tomorrow

Totally don't feel excited. Why did I go and sign up????

If it was 2 years ago I would probably be very excited. But now I feel a little old for going to OBS only in poly.

I have the impression that OBS is for secondary school people.

Ok but from a few google searches I realised that people of all ages go to OBS for teambuilding and stuff.

Anyway I bought a pair of shoes and soccer shorts for the camp.

HAHA but now I don't dare to wear my soccer shorts already, I look like a beng in them :X

And I think my shoes will get battered during the camp.

Hai. I will be back on friday anyway, but maybe I won't surrender my phone so I will still be contactable. Heh

Kao wan shi le yes

Just finished watching this, xiaxue's funny as usual ;3

Aahhhh mashita! They are damn cute la HAHA

pict chers (mix)

I rarely post pictures cause I am too lazy, but I decided to make an exception today because I have too much pictures in my phone and I want to put some use to them.
Hahahaha ok no more crap, pictures below!

Two of my favourite colours <3

Look at this weird material that doesn't absorb water.

It's a placemat anyway. 

I can even roll a droplet of water all around it like it's made of plastic or something. 

Powderful.

But in the end I couldn't resist and rubbed that drop of water in hard and it absorbed it! 

*does victory dance*

HAHA kidding I don't know how to do a victory dance :\

My BMGT notes. 

I memorised that 3 points above till my brain almost died but when the exam question asked "what are the 3 types of control that the company can use blah blah blah?" I totally forgot about this 3 idiots.

So in the end I left it blank and it was 9 markssssss fuck fuck fuck.

Too bored so I took way too many pictures of the stuff on my table.
There are much more but they are all the same hahaha.
Maybe 10 years later I will see this again and be like

"Ah, BMGT. It was a lovely memory, especially the lectures"

HEH HEH

*winks to my 28 year old self*

That brown stuff in the bowl are love letter crumbs by the way.

My supply is running low, anyone wants to make me some??

I love them very much :'(

The new Chicken McGrill burger.

The chicken is coated with teriyaki sauce (not really sure if it is teriyaki but it's brown and salty LOL) and it tastes pretty nice on its own, but there's a thick layer of skin that I didn't like so I peeled it off.

The bun is actually sourdough bread ( is it?) which is denser that the regular bun, plus the size of this burger is bigger than usual, so it's really filling and I got sort of sick of it halfway.

They stuffed a lot of lettuce and tomatoes inside too so this burger looks quite healthy, but don't be deceived! They are generous with their sauce, and there are 2 kinds inside.

Edit: LOL I just saw that the box wrote it's coated in "teppanyaki marinade", whatever that is. Why am I so embarrassing HAHA

Here you go. Got this off twitter. One is $5.50 if I am not wrong, so with this it's 2 for $5.50.

HAHA obviously right.

This is only valid till 7 March though, save and print to use.

I don't think I am ever buying this burger again though.

Not really my taste, though I like the bun :\

My delicious looking mango coloured highlighter.

I've always thought the cap looks really juicy.

Maybe I am too deprived of food HAHAHA

Look at the first ever successful poached egg I made just this morning! 

Oooo I can still remember the egg yolk oozing out heh heh

This isn't easy to make anyway. Really *proud

At Ajisen Clementi Mall today with @stephleeyt, @yuenyeeee, @evie_hwang, @jacquelyntsh, @_avrilz, @clarissaeleanor and @sereneidontknowhertwitter. It's in order of seating anw. At the restaurant I mean. LOL that's the only way I can recall everyone.

I fail I know. Brain isn't working right now! Too many late nights cos of exams.

I think Avril looks a little like Jung So Min btw. The actress from Playful Kiss!

 RIGHT NOT?!
I don't care I insist they look alike.

SERENE HONGSTER!

LOL

My rose plant!

Got infested by spider mites which covered the leaves and the flowers in disgusting webs so I sprayed a mix of water, dish detergent and listerine on the plant.

Google is a godsend man.

Most of the spider mites died, but there were still some and they refuse to die or go away, so I cut off almost all the stems and the plant is botak now.

New leaves grew back pretty fast though, will take a pict and upload it next time.

The thought of those spidermites makes my skin crawl wts.
 *

Alright, going to go finish the last episode of My Girlfriend is a Gumiho now (sad), and start on Secret Garden after that. Dramas are so addictive uh oh.
