CHRISTMAS SEASON
so near yet so far.
i agree with Miss Green* that somehow there isnt the pre-christmas season excitment.
this has got to be one of the few Christmas where i will feel this way.
perhaps itz bcox too many things are happening.. so much so tt b4 i can take a breather to look @ things, another thing has happened.
results were out. some happy, others sad. to Miss Precious* and Mr Editor*, cheer up k! we'll all work harder next sem...
within a week, i have spent abt $200 w/o getting much things.. mostly spent on cab fare, drinks, food and entertainment... i think all the major shopping centres and pubs are laughing their way to the bank wif MY money....... haiz.........
besides the above $$$- consuming activities, i have also done things ranging from catching up with friends like Miss Zhen Zhen*, Miss Mah*, Miss Green*, Miss Gan*, gg out, offering consolations, chatting on the phone, reminscing the old times, everything is coming all @ one shot. i'm glad to be able to forge closer friendships with some, but at the same time i miss chatting and gossiping with my other close friends.. everyone is like so distant all of a sudden. y are humans like that? do we tend to take things for granted? must we wait till we lose them b4 we regret?
Mr BK* has been very busy wif his IH games and his D&D canvassing recently. i know itz been hard on him as well, having to serve as the captain of the team and the biz manager of the committee. but i also wish that Mr BK* will have more time for me... have seen Mr BK* less than 5 times this wk, mostly of which are to pass him supper which i bought from town.
if i could choose, i would rather not have the holidays but have Mr BK* spend more time wif me instead of all those stupid inefficient meetings which start @ 12mn and end at 6am....... y is hall life so screwed up?
~Landy: i miss you so... why did you have to go? why can't you stay? i miss your love... ~
on a happier note, have uploaded some pics taken last wk ... enjoy! advanced merry christmas to all !!!
* names have been changed to protect the identity of the person though some are darn obvious!

The past days were the most terrible of my life. He gave that reason, that we would be done with becos of his life's greatest passion. BUt, how can? I thought, that we be seperated, for the every thing that taught us to love. then i reslised that all this time, when we were supposed to be trying, u already gave up and started planning, for that future u thought would suit u best, and left me there behind, alone on the tracks.
how could u? who said we were meant to be, and claimed that ur love would never leave, left me with such a lame reason that I thought and assumed with trust that yes that was why we could never be. And then came that one day, so fated it was meant to be, that I saw u so happily, barely days from our break, holding the hands of another gal that I never knew existed till I laid my eyes upon her. U could never imagine the pain n hurt u made me carry, my heart burst upon that sight, that moment of u so happily when I should be the one sharing ur joy and there I was left on the spot, with the world running pass and u and her walking by.
We were meant to be, were supposed to be, but we lost it, so much for my happy ending. So much for that little dream, of our own school, own house with puppies we love and nicole-to-be. No pls dun, dun ever share that name with her, not that name we painstakingly thought of for our future first gal. Painful as I am now, I had no choice, for that man who claimed his love for me, had betrayed my love and did that cos he felt was the right thing to do. Anger, fear and pain, so filled my heart and mind I really wanted him dead. Yet yes, I understand that reap what he had sowed and one day, he would regret for all the pain he brought o endless gals for all the hearts he broke and assumed he was the one hurt. One day it will come, for though he believed in god, he never understood what it meant, pathetic creature so clueless of life, still floating around assuming he is right. so immature and childish he is when he could have been that mature lover one would love to be with. God has it planned for u my dear, u failed his test with your immaturity becos of ur unwillingness and selfishness to bring together god and love and to be that one man to bring one more into god's hands, u failed him terribly my dear and for that, u will be founded with a life that u deserve. What lies in there I shall not mention, for only you will know what you have done. I am no man of ur god, but i believe in his existence and his fairness and justice in every being. I believe he will bring u what u deserve and for that its no less than pain and agony that u brought upon others. u deserve no love nor joy, u crushed me and drained me dry, leaving me exhausted in a losing battle in hope of u returning till that day I saw how u have lied. And now I shall stand up, no matter how painful, u do not deserve my love like u used to. god has it planned for u my dear, u cant hide from god, he knows ur sins and not all sins can be undone by simply confessing, some brings back retribution. and for that I shall leave it in the hands of fate, u ruined endless happy endings, what makes u think u will have a happy one? enough said, the chapter has ended. -j-

YOZ YOZ YOZ !!!
sorri for missing in action for the past 2 weeks... have been reeel busy with stuff tt i don even have the time to blog !
brief recollection of what i have done...
- gave tuition to my one and only lobang
- accompanied my mummy over the weekends
- wrapped gifts for dear's hall canvassing project
- drove down to town and back to hall with dear
- watched the whole of Jap serial "Pride"
- went to see christmas decorations and took photos
- met up with my dip ed friendsfor steamboat
- bought sisters' gift exchange present
- checked my results for this semester
- watched dear and meiyan play inter-hall badminton
- went to eat pasta and pubbing with Janice
sounds like a lot huh? haha... itz been a hectic 2 weeks... always seem like nothing to do but things jus keep coming and coming! omg.. gimme a break....
personal reflection from some of the things which i mentioned above...
Tuition & Me
my super clever genius P6 student Jaryl Lim got 4 A* and an aggregate of 271. he's gonna enter RI next yr and as they are shifting house, i won be able to give them tuition next year.. so there goes 2 tuitoin lobangs for me...sob sob sob...... i am only left with Sheryl, my girl who will be P6 next yr.. coaching her maths only.... so if any one has tuition lobang, PLS keep me in the loop! i still ned to earn my own expenses for one more semester... so PLEASE help me !! haha!!!
Mummy & Me
realised that my mum seems to have aged a lot suddenly. maybe itz because i have been spending very little time with her for the past 4 years, since i came to NTU to study. if not for sch work, my wkends are normally spent with dear or my friends, so much so tt my mum only gets to see me ONCE a week. no wonder she keeps immersing herself in all those endless karaoke sessions with my auntie etc... cox when she goes home she can only slp. no other entertainment for her......
really wanna graduate soon so i can shift home to be with the person who has brought me up almost singlehandly. can't imagine wat would have become of me if not for her.
Dear & Me
many things have been happening to my friends around me recently, esp those couples. itz not easy to keep a rshp gg strong, esp when things don always work out the way we want it to be. suddenly feel myself positioned in a pressure cooker where i am forced to wake up to reality at times. but i am very fortunate to have my dear to weather thru my downs and celebrate my ups wif me. we celebrated our 3.5 years by gg to the Jay concert.. and christmas is jux round the corner. it'z gonna be our 4th christmas together.... nuting special this year cox i am super broke... but i hope to fufil my promise to dear next christmas... hehe.... dear.. i is wooden pretend pretend you ok... bring you go holiday k.. hehe... muackz! thanks for everything. and i mean EVERYTHING. i love you soooo much!
Jap & Me
yes. i have been hooked onto Jap serials. evern since my neighbour's neighbour Jocelyn sent me the episodes for Pride, i have been wtaching almost non stop... the storyline was v nice.. abt a national ice hockey player who decides to play a game of love with a girl who has been waiting for her supposedly-bf-who-has-not-returned-for-2-years.. haha.. v v touching.. den dear bought me another Jap serial as a reward for my results.. itz called Good Luck.. haven had time to watch it.. shall review it after i have done so...
so now my jap vocab has expanded slightly. i used to know onlh 'bah kah' ... now i noe other words like ' watashiwa sharon san'... 'ohaiyo'... erm.... ... .... .... well.. shall not try. will jux stick to my favourite bah kah! hahahahaha...
Friends & Me
finally had the chance to meet up with 2 of my long lost classmates... judy and jane... both of them are doing reel well.. teaching and attending lessons @ SIM ... think itz really tough for them to juggle sch work and studies at the same time.. but 4 years will pass by quickly... they have alredy been thru 2 years liao! jia you girls...
ate Yuki Yaki with them and we chatted abit about the old days in NIE, their sch work load, ashley's new chinese name etc... hehe.. and they are getting a chalet on 5th feb 2005 @ aloha loyang... judy and remus, jane and guowei, ashley and mingkai, dear and me will be gg... think it'll be quite fun.... looking forward to it !
girls, i miss you all soo much, letz meet up more often ya? ;op
Sisters & Me
Since our last gathering @ KTV, i have been earnestly looking out for the perfect xmas exchange present for the sisters. as this year's system is differently, i had to consider various factors such as the practicability of the gift, and the level of mass appeal etc... itz not an easy job i mux say.. for eg initially saw smth which was v v v v nice and i noe one of the sisters will surely like, but i was unsure if the recipient of the gift would like it. haiz... super brain racking loh... hahaha........
BUT... i think i have found the perfect gift. itz suitable for all the sisters, and i hope the one who gets it on that night will find it useful... i like it a lot myself... haha.... hope the new owner does too ! hahaha..
we gonna have an online discussion to confirm our final makan place next monday.. haha... merchant court hotel's has a greta ambience.. but px a bit steep... but none of us has other better suggestions... hmmm... shall see how things go later... ;op
Results & Me
got my results for this semester on monday! hahaha.. thks to janice and dear for checking my grades... rather pleased generally, but there's always room for improvement.. like wat my super-duper-clever-classmate says....... haiz..... when can i get grades as good as hers?
well...... i got a little gift set from dear when he came to meet me after i told him my grades... tatz when he bought me the new jap serial, bird's nest, chocolates... hehe... all in a nice yellow gift bag.. haha... dear... appreciate wat you have done for me... xie xie ni.... ;op
den in the same afternoon, dear got his grades as well! he did quite well except for one module.. think he has improved a lot... ;op means tt this method of exam revision is good... so keep up the gd work k! we'll work hard together next semester! yeah !
Badminton & Me
came back frm the IH game match ard 7 plus.. dear's hall lost the game to 2003's runner-up hall players.. good game i would sae... had a great time watching dear and meiyan play... ;op though they din win i think they did well... stupid wai wang... keep aiming meiyan... haiz.. poor meiyan... but really glad to see her playing badminton again... has always been her fav sport... hope she will continue playing... ;op yan.. i wanna see you win the next time k! will cheer sooo loud for you! hahahahaha...... yan yan jia you !!!!!!!

A new star is born ! HE is a phenomenom!!! he is versatile, composed, did a smooth delivery and emotional rendition of his peices...
omg........ he did so well tonight !!! hahhaa... his rendition of the 3 songs were great.... and he was such a gentleman by sharing thee winning song with Sylvester...omg.......
Sly did well too... a remarkable performance i would say.. but Taufik was truly the talented one.. although Sylvester had a double advantage as he could secure both the english and chinese market, as well as having the X factor!
most imptly, i think the atmosphere @ the indoor stadium was really great.... though i couldnt see colour on my b/w TV in my hostel room, i think itz a really 'glam' concert... haha... so proud of all the contestants...

Too bad i am not part of it... but i am v happy for those who who will be able to enjoy this Christmas Present from the govt !!!
hehe... got one bad and one good news to announce:
bad news - my trip to Taiwan has been postponed to Mar 2004 cox the GOH Mayor Ma Ying Jiu will not be in Taiwan this end Dec... hence they will be pushing the event till Mar.. good in a way cox i can TRY to save up some money for my trip then! hahah...
good news: instead of Taiwan, I will be gg for a short holiday with dear, Janice and Stephen in mid dec... hehe... though itz juz a 2D1N trip to M'sia, i think it will be a great way to pre-celebrate Christmas overseas... hehe... Stephen and dear are sooo sweet cox they will be planning our itineary programme... Janice and I will jus sit back, relax and shake leg! hahah.. no lah... but according to Janice, Stephen is quite good wif planning, so i shall juz look forward to the trip!
