Month: June 2005

I can’t imagine myself attending my friends’ wedding in the years to come. That feeling is funny~The thought just strike when i browse through Shirely’s wedding captures in Terry’s blog.

Erm… How to say? When we are younger, we tag along our parents to attend wedding dinners. But we hardly know the bride and the groom. So we ended up onli enjoying the dinner itself.

But if the bride and groom were your friends, guess it will be a different story. You’ll feel closer to them, to the whole ceremony. And food may just be the secondary factors for you to attend. It’s the atmosphere, their joy that you’ve witnessed. So xing fu~

Encounter some problems in work and emailed Sharlin for help. Thank you for her patience. Guess she got every single answer i wanted. SP lecturers are still very helpful. Heez~

She is back in Singapore for 2 weeks le. Both Wendy and Leon is still teaching in the school. Sharlin asked me about all your updates. Well… We can pay a visit to school for lunch sometime? The food there is calling for me.

I had a pay rise of $70 after my salary was reviewed and revised. Hmm… Not much, but i hope i can save my $70 up for my education and my holiday trips.

Trying to save and save and save. Erm… Still -ve the budget amount i set for spending. I drafted an excel sheet to calculate my expenses. After this month, i’ll need to review where all my money goes.

Both Banana and me had a hard time trying to escape from the rooms. Erm… We are playing game actually. Played once during my ITP times. That was ages~

Try your luck too:

• Crimson room
• Virdian room
• The Blue Chamber

Do you know ‘The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” phrase, normally used for testing font types, font sizes and text positioning, contains all alphaberts A-Z?

Do you know the origins of ‘a.m.’ and ‘p.m.’? These abbreviations represent the Latin phraes ante/post meridiem, which mean ‘before/after midday’.

Do you know what comes after once, twice, thrice? These three are the only words of their type, and no further terms in the series have ever existed.

Do you know data is singular or plural? Strictly speaking, data is the plural of datum, and should be used with a plural verb (like facts).

Everybody is not in the house last night, except my youngest sister and me. My cordless phone and its station are separated, phone in my room, the station in the hall. While both of us are happily talking in the kitchen, the cordless phone beeps. Someone must have pressed the station locating where’s the handset. Hmm… But the beeping goes off in about 1 to 2 minutes. Both of us dare not go near it.

This morning, i started to wash up myself, preparing for the day. My dog barked furiously as if there is a stranger. I turned and looked. He was in my mum’s room, facing high up as if there is something near the ceiling. I called for him, but he barked at me. Wonder what did he see this time round again?

Can’t really recall anything in secondary school. I usually forget when i pass and promote to another stage of my education. Until someone wrote this in his blog:

” hav to thank my friends too then..

weijie n dinglun..for helping my maths in my sucky maths days…

layhiang n gl…for being so gd in chinese…u two were my motivations..cos i was adamant to be better than u all…i wan to be praised..thr’s this once when we got back our chinese essay..i wrote sth diff…which i tot will bring mi to e top of the chinese greats in hks..(hehe..) then i lost to lh..why?? cos wang lao shi doesnt know whether it’s creative or out of pt..haha…i tot i was quite good…hehe…”

I’m always proud of my achievements in Chinese, since primary school. But the feeling isn’t that strong, until we are ranked in secondary school. One thing about my primary school, we don’t have any ranking system. Therefore, once you slide from the chart, you will feel rather demoralize. But I have Wei Jyh and Geok Leng to be my strongest competitors in the class. That were the days. Hahaha~

I will use naïve and boring for sec 1, enriching and competitive for sec 2, struggling for sec 3, hardship and tolerance for sec 4. Hai… My grades deteriorates after sec 2. From top 3 class ranking in lower secondary to top 20 in upper secondary. By then, I dun bother to climb any higher. And I flunk my geography at prelim, therefore, I can’t get into the first 3 months in JC. And maths, it’s so so so disappointing. Really dun understand what’s bothering me at that stage. I only regretted on these 2 subjects. I should have worked harder on it.

That were the school days.

[P/S: Wei Jyh, you wanna try recalling more incidents that happen within our class? Rrefresh my memory please~ I always like you talk about me, the class and me and the class and me. Hahaha~]

Last saturday morning, Lester and me went to eat bak ku teh at Anson Road. The uncle is polite, keeps refilling the soup for us. Yum yum~ It will be shifting inwards within this and next month.

We had the poly gang meet-up in the afternoon through the nite. Jackey, Johnson, Lester, Laily, Geargina, Suqin and me all turned up. This could be the very last time we had our steamboat at Laily’s Bukit Panjang resident, before she moves to somewhere else. Started shopping around 4pm, food preparation till 7pm and steamboat till 11pm. We are too concentrating on the grilling and practically ignored the soup. Johnson got himself so tanned because of his parade, and we laughed at his “shades of skin tones”. Good times are really short. Looking forward to the next meet-up again, and perhaps something special. Heez~
