Hmmm... Eventful day today...

Went to my grandma's house for lunch... Met my relatives there...

Went to AMK Hub after leaving my grandma's to shop for christmas gifts. I'm pretty broke this year, so I could only spend within a certain budget... Got some presents for my sis and cousins, but i'm not gonna disclose it here. It's gonna be a surprise! =D Got some stuff for my TP friends too... Not very expensive, but I hand-made christmas cards this year to make up for it. =) It's the thought that counts right?

Had dinner at 8.45pm today... So late right? I was practically starving to death... =X Came home to HOWRSE and watched lots of TV... =D

Mum will be leaving for Malaysia tomorrow, and I promised her I would clean the house. (I really hate cleaning, but I don't think I have a choice) Will be going down to school on tuesday to settle some stuff and visit Fifa and her gang of merry cats afterwards. Can't wait! =)

Alright, really need to sleep soon. Till next time!

YAY!!!

Term Tests are officially over! =D

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

LSM paper was pretty crappy, but ah well, i'm just glad that it's all over! =)

Went out with Rachel and Candice today. I swear... I don't ever wanna see Candice when she's drunk. She's already crazy when she's not drunk. Don't even wanna imagine what she will be like if she gets drunk.

Anyway, here's the list of things that I wanna do during my miserably short 2 week break.

Make christmas cards
Volunteer at the zoo
Play the Sims 2
Play HOWRSE

These are the things I wanna do for now.
More will be added - I'm sure of it! XD

Am being a bad girl and blogging instead of studying...

I really do get the urge to do things I normally don't when I'm having exams... =X

A summary of the past 7 days..

Last Friday - Class ended at 5pm... Totally sucks.. Stayed back in school to study till 7... I really need to be more disciplined. I study much better at home, but get so distracted with all the birds, rabbits, computer, bed... (you get the point) I don't absorb as well in school, but i guess if you get stuck in school with just a table and chair and nothing else to do, you study.

Saturday
Had my GuZheng class in the morning. I should really practise more... Studied in the afternoon and slept pretty early.

Sunday
HOME TAKEN OVER BY INVADERS!!! >.< (stupid sister's friends)

Monday
INVASION VERSION 2 (lone alien descended on earth and invaded my house)

Tuesday
11-12: Molecular Biology paper
Wasn't too bad... But I had thought that I was more prepared. Overall verdict, I believe I will pass.

4-5pm: Animal Health and Diseases paper
I swear, studying for this nearly killed all my brain cells! I thought I was prepared enough, but in the end, I STILL MIXED UP THE DISEASES! Hope that by some miracle, I'll pass this paper...

Wednesday

9-10am: Clinical Diagnostics 2 paper
I love this subject... I really do... =) Just that sometimes, I still get mixed up for the leukograms and stuff... Did my best.

Thursday (today)

11-12: Clinical Diagnostics 1 paper
It was much better than I expected. Considering the fact that I felt so unprepared before the paper because I literally skipped studying whole chucks of the notes... Luckily, only 1 question came out that I totally didn't know. Ah well, 4 marks gone. Not too bad in my terms. (pretty devastating for some others)

After the paper, Dawn, Yan Kai, Li Ting and I had lunch in school. Then Liting decided she wanted to visit my birdies. I got another cockatiel by the way. It's called Winter. Not so sure about the gender though. (but i believe its a male)

Seriously, everyone who comes to visit ends up falling in love with my 2 birdies. =D Not that I mind, since all my friends are responsible animal lovers. They won't ever get a pet on impulse. meanwhile, I'll just supply them with the fun they can get with birdies without actually having to care for them. =D

Now for some daily dose of randomness.

I MISS MR. ORANGE!!!!!! =(
Hopefully Fifa will be well enough by tomorrow for me to visit. Then I'll get to see my Prince charming! Hahas!

Mummy will be coming home tomorrow too! Wonder if she's got anything for me from Malaysia... Heehee...

Oh yeah! I want a dog!!! Maybe I'll "borrow" or "dog-sit" someone's dog during this term break. Doubt my parents will allow it, but worth a shot nonetheless. =D

Here are some photos of Winter. Enjoy!

Today was fun. =D

Had Mol Bio lecture at 9 this morning. It was supposed to end at 11, but we were done by 9.40. Felt pretty irritated because i had rushed out of the house this morning without having my breakfast since it was already pretty late. Then i had to squeeze into a majorly packed 23 just to reach school on time... But i like the teacher though. He seems like he can actually teach pretty well.

Ate my brunch during the long break and accompanied Fifa to see some admin person doing the school magazine.

Had our first Clinical Diagnosis 1 lecture today. It was by an external vet called Dr Chua. I pretty much like the way she teaches. She even gave me the name of a clinic in Ang Mo Kio who specialises in rabbits! =D Guess i can finally bring my bunnies for a checkup without having to take a cab all the way to Bukit Timah. =) I should be able to reach by just walking there. =)

After the lecture, i stayed back in school to fill in my DRP logsheet. I took a whole hour just digging through whatever records i had, and copying timings from the TAF logbook to complete it.

Now, don't you call that fun? =D

Sighs... I think i'm in love with Merli... =( I wanna just hug that enormous ball of fur!

Okay... Gotta stop drooling... Darnit... I need a big ball of fur of my own... =(

*goes off to kiss her darling before coming back*

Just because i feel like it, here are some photos of my babes. Enjoy!

School started yesterday.

Need i say more?

I'm pretty happy with the timetable this time though... At least there's a lunch break every day. =)

Random rant of the day:
I want to adopt a nice friendly mongrel and teach it to dance.

Sometimes, I really wonder...

Argh!! Stop being negative!

I really have to learn to stop talking to myself.
Next thing you know, I might be in IMH...

Can't help it, but I'm really feeling pretty depressed these few days... Don't know why either... =(

I really miss my choir... It was something I used to look forward to... Now, I feel that I don't have anything to look forward to anymore... Haix...

Had a super unproductive day today... My brain's been dead for the most part and I had class from 9-5. School really does kill brain cells. I hope i'll still be able to function after graduating from TP. Brain's still dead now...

We're going back to AMKSS for NOMAD 2008!!! Super super excited!!!

I've never actually had the chance to enjoy the performances. Was performing for both NOMADs while I was in secondary school. Argh... Having serious issues of missing choir now.

I still remember the first NOMAD I took part in. It was in 2003 when I was a sec one-er. The first practice for NOMAD was also the first time we met our seniors properly and started practicing with them. I have to admit. I was pretty apprehensive to talk to them at first, but after time passed, I more or less warmed up to them and we had truckloads of fun. Rehearsing, fooling around, poking each other... How I miss those days... It seems all too long ago...

We had 3 pieces performed by the choir. First was "You Gotta Be", secong, "I Get Around" and the last piece, which I didn't sing in was "Faith". These 3 songs are probably my favourites amongst all the choir pieces we got to learn.

I still remember how we "changed" in the LT, danced backstage to the band's performance, joking around and having fun. Seems like I don't get much fun anymore these days.

I MISS MY CHOIR
MISS IT SO BAD

Hopefully, we'll be able to see Ms Choo tomorrow and have a chat with her. Heard that she's pregnant now... XD So exciting!!! Heehee!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SURIA!!! =D
May all your wishes come true on this special day!

Oh, how I miss the choir... If only I could turn back time and relive those wonderful moments we spent together. You never actually cherish what you have until it's gone...

I used to always look on the bad side of things and think that my life was a total horrid mess. I used to think it sucked and wasted much brain space on being angry. I used to cry because I pitied myself. But now, I know better.

I'm done being angry with my life, with the people and things that make it horrible. I figured, it's just life. I have 2 options, either to look on the negative side, which will probably make myself and others around me miserable, or to look on the positive side and keep myself happy. I chose the latter.

Someone once told me this, "All good things will come to an end". It's so true. There are 2 ways of looking at it. I can either cry over the ending, or rejoice over the fact that it happened and that I managed to get to know some of the most wonderful people I could ever know.

Life's full of ups and downs, but if you just try to just enjoy it every step of the way and cherish the time you get to spend with the people in it, your life will not be wasted. =)

Enough of the philosophies... =) Playtime!

I've played quite a bit of Sims2 this holiday. Partly because Shermaine and Yan Kai were talking about it during our dinner after the coastal cleanup.

I've been howrsing too! =D HOWRSE!!!

Was in school the whole day today...

Took the same bus as Bernice on my way to school... I miss spending time with the whole team at the park... Looking forward to the BBQ this friday...

Had lessons all the way till 7pm today... I'm taking French as my CDS! =) It's really fun, but I do get quite confused with the pronounciation at times... Ah wells, gotta start watching more French movies then... =)

Sometimes, I really feel that my life is so... Sighs... I guess all good things have to come to an end... Just that sometimes, I really can't stop the tears from falling...

I really should be sleeping right now, but I just can't seem to fall asleep...

There's Hope

When your dreams become a deadly truth
And the rest of the world turns it's back on you
Withdrawn into yourself
Leaving an empty shell
You find that little flame of hope

For that little chance of hope
You pushed yourself out of the hole
Becoming stronger than the mountains
Greater than the Sun
For to you,
There's hope

The strength to nurture
The desire to give
The passion to achieve
You set out anew
And because of you,
There's hope

This little piece is inspired by a friend's photograph entitled "There's Hope", and by a great person whom I really admire. It may not be that good, but to me, it really means alot.

I'm actually updating my blog!!?? I'm as surprised as you are.

Been doing much packing since this morning. I can't wait for Tuesday to arrive!!!

ELEPHANT NATURE PARK HERE I COME!!! =D
Wheehee!!! =D

Went to Serangoon North again today to buy my rabbits' hay. Have to make sure there's enough for them to eat while I'm away... Then, we strolled over to the birdshop again... Oh gosh, I'm so in love with that scarlet macaw!!! Was talking to him for a while before my mum couldn't stand the noise and dragged us away... I'll so bring him home if I could!

Ah wells.. I don't think I'll be able to do that anytime soon... PanPan, BearBear and Summer's already taking up all my spare time... I'll have to leave them for 9 WHOLE DAYS when I'm off to Thailand... I wonder if Summer will still remember me when I get back. After all, I've only had her for one and a half months...

Ah well, guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Went christmas shopping with my mum and sis at Thomson Plaza...
Bought LOTS of presents...
Blew an ultra HUGE hole in my wallet...

So now i'm broke... Really, really broke... There're only coins left in my wallet... Plus lots of receipts too... =X

I really hope that they will enjoy what I got them... =)

TODAY

Woke up at 5am today to catch last night's debut of the last season of THE NANNY on Hallmark... How could I have forgotten? Darn it... I'll have to miss it again today because I need to go back to school... Ahhhhhhhh! Nevermind... 5am's pretty good too! =D

Today is the 18th of December 2007... And, THE SEAHORSES ARE COMING!!! =D I can't wait! Although it would seriously mean that I will officially not have a life anymore(for the next 3 years anyway), I'm really looking forward to it! =D

Shall stop before I go on a crazy typing spree again... =)

7 more days till Christmas! =D

Surprise! Surprise!

I'm finally free enough to come online and update my clearly neglected blog! =D

Okay, okay, first of all, i would like to announce to the world:

TERM TESTS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!!

Wahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

I finally get to have a break from the neverending tests and quizzes... It's only 2 weeks, but at least ti's better than nothing...

Now, I shall talk about what I did today...

Woke up at 5am to study AAP... 5 AM!!! And surprisingly, I'm still awake now... Then, I left for school at the usual time, 7.30am... Got to school, studied some more and went in for the test...

After an hour of writing and brain-draindedness, the test finally ended... I was kind of in shock for a while and it didn't really register to me that the dreaded term tests were over!

Blah, blah, blah...

Then I went to find my mum for lunch... Ended up eating with my mum and my cousin at KFC.. =) Leying LOVES the Zinger Burger!!! Heehee...

After lunch, we walked back home from AMK central while my cousin went off... It was really hot and we were practically being baked under the sun... Upon reaching home, I rested for a bit before I turned on the computer and started playing Sims2... I've created a new neighbourhood and currently, only one family exists in it... Nevermind, I'll get the neighbourhood overpopulated in no time... Hahas...

After my eyes got tired of staring at the screen, i changed and went jogging in Bishan Park... =D I felt so good after the short run... It's nice to live next to a park... =)

Exhausted(yeah, I know... my stamina has gone to the dogs...), I pulled myself back home and cleaned my bunnies' litterbox... They're still more important than me you know? Hahas... Afterwards, I read today's newspaper before going to bathe... Hell, I stank like a piece of fermenting something or the other...

Oh, on my way to the park, a mynah flew past me and landed on the railing... It had a butterfly in it's mouth! That is so cool! Hahas!

Had lunch at about 9pm and played Maple until now... =D Haven't had so much fun in ages!

Looking forward to our girl's day out tomorrow! =D Just the four of us!

If you couldn't tell, I'm still high from adrenaline produced when I finally realised the tests were over!!! That's why I'm still awake!! Ha!!

CCN Day!

Weehee! Hadn't had so much fun since my secondary school days! So super happy today! =D

Got to make lots of furry friends today! Don't think i'll name them... There was just too many!

My bunnies had lots of fun too! =D Played with the hamsters and sniffed the dogs... Seems like they're not afraid of other pets after all! That's a really, really good thing...

They enjoyed the journey too... Were happily munching away at their hay on the way to school... =D And you know what? BearBear actually licked me on the way back!!! He's never done that before, no matter how hard i try to coax him to! That was probably the best thing that happened today!!! I stuck my hand into the carrier on the way back to stroke them and HE LICKED ME!!!! Ahhhhh!!!

Maybe i'll bring them out more often... They seem to really enjoy it!

On a heavier note, I think there was quite a problem about the communication between the teachers and the students... Let's try to avoid that the next time we do something by keeping everybody, and I do mean everybody, including the teachers, up to date on what is going on...

FRIDAY

An Electrifying Day

0900-1100
Had basic microbiology lecture. It was pretty nice... I think this subject is pretty interesting... I like it... =D

1100-1145
Took a bus from school to SPCA... =D

1145-1215pm
Played with the animals in SPCA... There were many rabbits and kittens looking for a new home... I hope that they get adopted soon... =D Then, there was this brown ticked cat in the cattery... He was basically attacking the straps on my bag. He was really cute too, mewing and rubbing himself on my legs. I'm sure he'll get adopted in no time.

1245-1305
Took another bus from SPCA to Toa Payoh interchange. Rachel was already there when I reached...

1305-1415
Waited with Rachel for Candice and Sally to arrive. We were bored, so we went to walk around first. We bought onion rings from Burger King and ate them on the steps. Thereafter, we went hunting for potato chips... Wanted to buy them from 7-eleven, but their things were so overpriced... We then decided to find the NTUC. Took a hell lot of time to find it and all we bought were a bag of Ruffles and a tube of Fruitips... We then made our way back to the interchange.

1415-1810
Met up with Candice and went to the foodcourt for lunch. Talked about lots of things and Candice was half crazy because of this guy in her class... Anyway, we had lunch, chatted a bit and went "shopping" for Rachel's birthday present... We ended up in Kiddy Palace and bought her a white persian soft toy... It looks really real and the fur was pretty nice too...

Next, we took lots of pictures outside the shop(lots of people were staring at us). That's when things started happening... First off, while I was passing my camera to Candice, she got a shock(as in a static shock!). Then for a while, nothing happened and we assumed that it was just a one off thing...

Boy, were we wrong! I was walking past Sally, when I brushed against her arm and there was a loud "PIAK!". It was really loud, like a spark from a wire... It hurt a little, but after that, it was fine. Still, that's not the end of it. While Sally was holding the camera, Candice and I reached over to see the picture. Both of us touched the camera at the same time, and then, we got another shock. This one was stronger than the previous one. Ouch!

What a day! It was already running late at that time, so we parted our ways and went home... I took bus 88 with Sally and we chatted till I got off... What a day!

SATURDAY

Woke up, practiced a piece on my guzheng and went off for class... =D It was alright, but I think I can still make that piece sound better... Ah well, more practice then! According to my teacher, he would teach us a piece which uses both hands to play next week. I can't wait! =D

Thereafter, I cooked pasta for lunch and played The Sims 2 until about four plus and went for a nap while waiting for my dad to come home... After the nap, we went out to buy my rabbits' food... 2.5kg of hay and 4.5kg of pellets... That's a total of 7kg and $42...

Then, we went to meet my mum at Toa Payoh for dinner... We went to the library too, to return my books and I borrowed another four(on animals of course). After that, we went to the wake of my aunt's father-in-law. I don't know him personally, but my dad did, so we went. Met up with my cousins there too... We chatted for a good few hours until my parents decided it was time to leave.

Cleaned my rabbits' litterbox and bathed once I reached home and slept at 2am... That's why I only got up at 11am today... =X

TODAY

Didn't do much actually... Woke up, watched Jurassic Park with my sister, had lunch and got on the computer. I'm going to go do my homework now... Till next time!

Wanted to blog yesterday, but as usual, things keep cropping up...

YESTERDAY

Had my first Animal Anatomy and Physiology (AAP) lesson! It was a little confusing, but interesting nonetheless. =D I can't wait until we start the lab sessions! I think it'll be much more fun! =D Afterwards, I had lunch and went to the bookshop to buy my HPI textbook... It was super heavy, and the stupid thing is, I still borrowed that even heavier book from the library... The Sun must have fried my brains thoroughly... Ah wells...

TODAY

Had total lesson time from 8am-10am. 8am! Had to wake up at 6am just to go to school for that two hours... Not that I'm complaining though... I like school... It's just that I like having my 8 hours of sleep too... =D Anyway, had brunch after asking Mr Yee Mon a few questions about the abdominal cavity. I ate Chicken Chop Spaghetti and had a cup of iced milo... Yummy yummy... =D Chatted with Alison for a while and then headed home...

I fell asleep on the bus! AND nearly missed my stop... I woke up when the bus was turning into the bus stop... Luckily there were others alighting at the same stop and bought me some time to get my things and run down... Thereafter, I went to the provision shop to buy myself some sweets... =D I've finished one tube already...

I don't think I've said this before, but I think my block's new colours are absolutely horrible... I cringe everytime I look at it... It's basically made up of 4 colours... This really light lemon-lime colour, a light blush lavender, an eccentric purple and orange... Get my point? They were doing something with the corridor floor too... I like it though... Looks really pretty and artistic... It's like this range of greys which looks like a calm surface of the sea... It even has little spots of paint on it, giving it a really ethereal look... Magical, if you ask me... =D I hope it stays that way.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Looked forward to it, but now that it really is here, I'm feeling a little apprehensive...

Was in school at around 8.45am today. Met up with Fifa and went up to the classroom... There, we met Dawn, who was sitting alone outside the room... Next came Sheryl and then, Alison and Isabel... You could really see how exicted they were about school. Walking with a slight bounce and all... =)

CSAS 2 was pretty good... We have a new teacher called Ms Lee. Ms Andrina Chung doesn't teach us anymore... =( Anyway, we'll be having lots of new teachers this semester, so I better get used to it... During class, we did a name thingy to put into our file and after that, a mindmap about ourselves and the first few people in our class did a mini presentation-speech thing pertaining to "Myself"... I'll be presenting next week though... I'm looking forward to it. =D

Then we had lunch... At 11am!!! AND we'll be having lunch from 11am-12pm every day of the week... Gotta get used to eating so early...

After lunch was HPI lecture. Mr Yee Mon. Need I say more? Well, at least I think the topic is pretty interesting... =D

Next was Cell Biology lecture... The teacher was mighty boring... His slides were all black and white... Hello? Adding in some colours will get you a lot more conscious student you know? He drones too... =S Wish me luck!

Before Cell Biology lecture started, I had the biggest blow of the day... We'll be having two Cross Disciplinary Subjects instead of one! That really, really stinks... I thought one CDS was bad enough... Now they're making us take two? Help? And with the seahorse project going on, I don't think I'll have a life anymore...

Okay... Deep breath... Phew...

I'm SO going to go through with this. I AM! I'll just need to organize my time better and plough my way through... It's a good thing that the CDS are not examinable... I'd die if they were...

On my way home, I felt so super discouraged...
These are some of the factors:

2 CDS this semester
heavy as hell bags(2 of them)
sweltering afternoon
fatigue
dehydration

Really felt like crap.

On a lighter note, I came back home today and lay on the sofa for a good half hour. Then, I played with my darlings and fussed over them. They just threw all my worries and fatigue out of the window. They're my guardian angels, I tell you... They never fail to make my day... However bad things turns out, i know they'll always be there for me. Always. =D

I love my bunnies. That is something that will never change.

Ah well, it's time to check my mail and go clean the litterbox...
Till next time!

School starts tomorrow! I can't wait! =) I'm quite happy with the timetable too... It has most lessons packed together and my latest lesson ends at 6pm. Phew... I was really hoping and praying that none of my lessons were going to end late... Guess I got my wish.. =D

I can't wait to start AAP! Sure, it may be slightly gross and all, but I believe I'm going to enjoy every bit of it... Even the memorising parts! =D

It's a Monday.

But I'm not going to talk about what happened on Monday. Instead, I'll blab on about last Friday.

It was Friday. 12 October 2007.

Went to Changi with the Seahorse team, the Coral team and the NParks people to catch mysids and shrimps. It was really a lot of fun! I didn't get wet though... Maybe I'll go into the water next time... =)

There was a baby bird too! The NParks people found it in the office compound or something and brought it with them. It was about a week old. We named it Eshe Lutalo Solabba. Not sure whether it's a male or a female though... They all look the same.. Hahas...

Anyway, Eshe is not being cared for and fed by Alison... Maybe I'll pop by one day to see it.

On Saturday, we went out to have dinner with my grandparents to celebrate my Grandpa's birthday... Dinner was pretty good. Then my cousin came over to our house to stay. She'll leave later this evening.

Ah well, I'm bored... Seeya!

Went to SPOTLIGHT with my sis today... We took the bus there because she claimed she knew where to alight and guess what? We missed the stop... Several stops in fact... We were supposed to alight somewhere near Peace Centre, but we ended up in Chinatown! Had to walk all the way to the Chinatown MRT Station and take the train back to Dhoby Ghaut... What a waste of time and travel fare... Wouldn't it have been much easier if we took the MRT there in the first place?

Well, we finally reached Plaza Singapura... Had lunch at Carl's Junior (the criss-cut fries were nice) and headed upstairs to SPOTLIGHT. It was really fun! Hahas... I love all things to do with crafts! =D It felt like I was in some dreamland where I'm surrounded by all my favourite things... Anyway, I bought some boards and some random stuff... I can't wait until the next time I visit... =D I'll have to make a checklist and drag my mum there with me (she'll pay =D)...

After that, we went shopping at the TIMES bookstore... Bought myself a book... Couldn't resist... It's a book for naming babies, but I didn't buy it to name one... I'm just really fascinated by the meanings behind all the names... =)

After that, we headed down to Carrefour to buy some stuff back for dinner... It was really hilarious at the cooked food area... This uncle was shouting, "Come buy chicken! Buy one get half free!" I could just imagine him shouting, "Lelong! Lelong!" Like a peddler selling his wares in the market... Ah well, my feet were sore when I returned home... No more walking long distances for me for the next 2 days...

It's late and I believe I should be getting to bed... Bye!

As promised, here are some photos of some of the horses and ponies of RDA... =)

Laurie!! The handsome boy... A little grumpy and snappish sometimes though... Watch out for his teeth!

Ah.. How I miss the days when I had lessons at the now defunct Sentosa Riding Centre (SRC)... He came from there! I don't know where the rest of the ponies and horses from SRC went... Probably to the Saddle club or something... How I wish I can see my darling Sam again...

Paint! Look at his pretty markings...

Ruby! The sweetest horse! A big and beautiful bay...

Rama's coat is really shiny you know... Very smooth too...

Dunedin... Pronounced as Duh-Nee-Durn... A mouthful? Not really... I rode him during my sidewalker training... He's a real smooth ride...
Now for today...

Went ice-skating at Jurong East... Had much fun there... Plus, I did NOT fall this time round... =D I think I'm beginning to get the hang of it... Just hope that it remains like that the next time I go... =)

Time for sleep now... Goodnight!

FRIDAY

Darn... Didn't go to RDA... Woke up with sore eyes... I have no idea why that happened either... Don't think I came in contact with anyone with it... Ah well... Went to the NTUC in the evening with my mum to buy some of the food for the BBQ on Saturday... =.= The bags were pretty heavy though...

SATURDAY

Worked the whole day through, preparing for the BBQ at night... We were celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with my relatives... =) It was really fun, but was super tiring... Oh, my cousin brought her dog with her this time... He's a Papillon (white with brown patches) and I don't have any pictures of him because he wouldn't keep still... =.= Anyway, his name is Uno... I think... It should be how they spell it... My eldest niece also brought her pet - a guinea pig called "PigPig"... =) It was so fuzzy!!! =D

We played with lanterns, candles and the adults (excluding me of course) ate some mooncakes and chatted... Poor me was at the pit working my fingers off... =S Ah well, I can say that I enjoyed myself thoroughly! =D Had lots of fun...

SUNDAY

Pooped from the day of work the previous day... Just lazed around the house and well, tried my best to NOT do anything... Hahas...

MONDAY

Rotted more that day... Darn! I think I'm in the last stages of decomposition already... School better start soon!

TUESDAY

Played TheSims2 in the morning and got bored and started rotting again...

TODAY

Went to RDA!!! We were kind of short of volunteers today... There were only 8 and 2 of them came later, which meant that there was only 6 of us at the start of the session, aka, 1 sidewalker to 1 child... I took different children today... I can say that compared to last week, these 2 boys were really well behaved... Well, let's just say that the combination of squirmish children and a grumpy old pony is quite a disaster... I'm not kidding... At least I can relax when I was around George today... She's such a sweet thing... =D No kicking... =D

Alrighty, I think I'll post some pictures of RDA in the next entry... Gotta go dig for them now...

Hmmm... Haven't posted anything for almost a week now... Was spending all my time playing TheSims2 bon Voyage... It's really cool! I'm thinking of creating a whole new vacation spot once I establish my new neighbourhood.. Yup, I deleted my good old neighbourhood and created a new one... I'm not really missing my sims, but I do regret deleting some of the really nice houses I built... Ah well, I'll just start again! =)

SUNDAY

Forgot what I did on the day... Me and my short term memory... =(

MONDAY

Went back to school with Alison to crash the OBC lecture... There were a total of like 8 other people there... O.o Ah well, that just means that less people failed right? Anyway, we went for lunch with Ms Jyothi (she was practically a celebrity! all the other teachers were crowding around her while Alison and I were "chasing a spider" to photograph...) Hahas... Took some photos with Ms Jyothi too... I'm not going to post it here though... I have my own privacy code... =)

TUESDAY

Was a pretty uneventful day I think... Can't remember...

WEDNESDAY

RDA!! Took loads of pictures! Of the horses and of the place... Anyway, I've decided for now that I don't really like Chester... Until he changes my impression of him, he'll remain in my memory as the one who tried to kick me... Thrice! He was in a real grumpy mood that day...

TODAY

Went back to school at last minute's notice to meet the NParks people... Was briefed on some aspects of our project and was assigned some things to research on and to write a proposal... I can't wait for the project to kick off, though I'm still dreading it a little... I don't think I'll be normal ever again... But that's a small price I'm willing to pay to to do what I like... =) Ah well, I've gotta go transfer some pictures from my camera to the computer...

Okay... I promise a short, short entry today...

When I was with my family, having a "coffee break", my dad spotted a woodpecker on the tree across the road. I don't know how he does it, noticing stuff that no one else normally sees. Anyway, it was greyish and had some black patterns around it's neck area. Wanted to take a photo, but it was too far away... Of all days NOT to bring my camera with me! then, another one of those woodpeckers came... Was the mate of the other one I think... It was fun to watch them, until my neck started to ache. My back was facing the tree... =.=

Just as I was about to give up and stop looking, something flew past my eyes and landed on the tree just beside me. Guess what it was? A flying lizard!!! You know, the ones which have this "umbrella-ish" skin flap around their neck that can open up and has flaps of skin extending from it's body to it's limbs. Yet another reason why I was killing myself for not bringing my camera!!! I was so cute! Besides, I've never seen something like this up close and personal before!

Stupid! Stupid! Ahh... I'm never leaving my house without my camera again!!!

Oh, and I'm broke again... Bought the newest Sims2 expansion pack - Bon Voyage. Expensive, but i'm not regretting it... Tested it out just now and it was really great. I think I'm going to delete my current neighbourhoods and create a new one... I've really got to stop creating more and more... Deleting's a good option... I think... Well, I'll sleep on it and decide by tomorrow... =)

Today has been really fufilling, unlike all the other days i spent rotting.

Went to RDA today!! =D This is definitely what I had been waiting for! The horses, the smell... Ahhh.... =) I did the morning session and met up with most of the "Friday people" I've known since the last time I volunteered there. The children we will be having on Fridays until the end of term 4 are from the Spastic Children's Association of Singapore(SCAS). SCAS is an organization which helps children with Cerebral Palsy.

What is Cerebral Palsy?"
Cerebral Palsy" is an inclusive term used to describe a group of non-progressive disorders occurring in young children in which damage to the brain causes impairment of motor function. The degree of the disabilities ranges from extreme tightness or looseness of the muscles of the body, improper head, shoulder or hip control to slight speech impairment. It is not curable. This can happen before or during birth or some illness or injury of the child early in life.
(taken from SCAS website)

Took this little girl called Charmaine for the first session. She is wheelchair-bound and has very weak muscles in her neck and back. Her head was flopping even when she was not wearing the helmet. Imagine how she must have felt when she had to put on the helmet, which I can say, is not exactly the lightest thing. She also had to wear a brace to keep her back up during the session. Despite her weak muscles, she tried really hard to keep her back straight and her head up so she could see what was going on. She's a strong little girl. Her persevereance was really admirable. Let me tell you, even though she could not really speak, she knew how to convey her feelings very well. When she was up on Laurie, she kept looking to me and Jaime, smiling, enjoying herself. That's the best part of this whole thing I guess, seeing that look on their faces. It's priceless. The fufilment it gives is really something different.

For the second session, we took a boy called Sufi. His condition is not as severe as Charmaine's. He could walk on his own and speak well. He was really looking forward to being on a horse again. The excitement in his eyes, the smile when we pointed out to him the horse he was going to ride, the look on his face when he finally mounted Rama. It's just a joy to see them so happy.

Okay... After the session when the children had all left, I went to the stables and talked to the horses, patted their muzzles and well, talked to them some more. Hahas... Then they were fed and started to ignore me so I left them to eat their hay in peace and went out to sit at the table. It was raining, so I waited for the rain to stop before I went home. By the time I left, the rest of the volunteers were long gone.

When I reached home, I was really tired... Had my lunch and went to take a nap... Then I played with my bunnies for a while before coming to use the computer.

Alright... Dad's home and it's time for dinner..

Thursday.
Thursday.
Thursday.

Today has been really boring... Nothing fun to do, cooped up at home the whole day, doing housework... You know what I mean... I'm already missing school... Seriously... Even though I have to wake up early for school during term time, spend hours on the bus and get half dead just by the trip itself, I really do miss going to school... At least it gives me a purpose, unlike the aimless rotting i'm doing at home now...

Rot.
Rot.
Rot.

Well, at least I have something to look forward to today. I'm going over to RDA tomorrow!!! Hahas.. I've missed all the horses there so much! The smell, the atmosphere... It just makes me feel like i've stepped into another dimension entirely. I feel really comfortable there, away from the stress and all the stupid worries. The other volunteers there are really nice people too... =) Aww.... I'm looking at the photos on their website now... *gushes*

Then there's my bunnies... BearBear is just so absolutely adorable when he hides in his almost destroyed cardboard box and peeks out... My sweet darling... Almost 3 now and he's still every bit the baby he was... Guess our pets never have the need to grow up huh? Having all their needs provided... Toys too... Oh yes, talking about toys, BearBear is sooooo in love wit his yellow ball! You should see him pushing it around, trying to stand on it, bite it and burrow with it at the same time. It's so hilarious!!

Ok Ok, I seem to be neglecting Pannie a bit aren't I? Well, it's just that she's less mischievious and gets into much less trouble than her counterpart. But I can assure you. She's the most loving bunny i've ever seen. All factors considered. She can lie in my arm all day... Except when she needs to go to her litterbox. She'll turn and look and me and squirm a little and i'll let her down. Oh, she licks me too! All the time... Hahas... Just like a little puppy... She's calm most of the time, but you should see her when she's in her playful mood. She'll be jumping around doing her binkies and banging into the walls and such... Okay, maybe a little too wild, but that's how she is.

Alrighty, it's almost time for dinner and I promised my Mum that I would help. Till next time!

Just got my results back...

Not a very encouraging one I would say... I'm kinda disappointed with my HAP results... Only got a C+ for all the mugging I did... Maybe it was due to the diarrhea and nausea that morning... =(

I am quite satisfied with my Maths results though... Got a B.. That's definitely an improvement from the FAILs I had been getting...

Got a C+ for PIPC too.. But I had kinda expected that... Never have been good at calculations... Throw in moles and I'm drowning already...

Last of all, I got a B+ for my OBC... Should have gotten an A... Well, guess I can't change anything now and might as well just live with it...

Then for the non-examinable subjects, I got a PASS for APEL and a DISTINCTION for CSAS. That's the only one i'm really happy about.. =)

Well, life moves on and takes me with it... No point trying to change the past... It'll never happen anyway, unless i'm some sort of witch or something..

Academic areas apart, i think today went pretty well... I got this blog up and running and I also finished a book by Kelly Armstrong - Broken. It's about a pack of werewolves sent on a job to steal this letter which was apparently sent in the past by a person named "Jack the Ripper" to the police at the time when this man was assumed to be a serial killer... Plots progresses and thickens and I was so absorbed in it that I early forgot to eat... It's quite a good book, but I personally don't think it's that wonderful.. If you get what I mean... It's a good read if you have the time...
