heyho peepo! i came back from penang with HIHS choir just past a week ago. i know you must be expecting this post to be all about it. frankly speaking, it WAS! i just deleted the whole "day one" chunk. sheesh, wasted my efforts. anyway, i decided that i'm not gonna type a whole pile of words on the penang trip for this entire post. it'll be nice and easy :D

penang trip was kinda fun. my roomie claris is a really interesting person. we always went over to chat with our neighbours, shervin and tingying. HAHA. lotsa secrets. shhh. and i remember the suakuness that claris and i expressed on the silkair flight. apparently, claris's suakuness was just pretend :/ nonetheless, it did manage to kill time in the plane, though the ride was like just 1 hour long :P "OH! THE PLANE IS MOVING!" HAHA! we also ate all sorts of food there; japanese, indian, western, malay, seafood. oh wow, it was really awesome :D masterclass was cool too! the teacher, mr william, is a super cool guy. though he's old (i think), he was able to click with us quite well! and he talked about some SATB dish on a plate thing (: shopping was nice (the first time you're hearing me say this!) it's true. i seem to have found a new thing for shopping. it all started when i bought a "you wanna PISA me" shirt on impulse. LOL! i can't believe i'm saying this, but i enjoyed the shopping! time flew as we ran from one end to the other in queensbay mall.

christmas week has finally ended. phew! it's been pretty hectic for the past 5 days. on tuesday, i went out with annabel, zhongming and zhiqi to 313, citylink, suntec and plaza sing. wow! we were on a mission to scout for christmas gifts for the gift exchange during the xmas party at claudia's house the next day. chocolate fondue at suntec was really nice.. and also kinda sweet o.o i enjoyed it, anyway. we were actually wasting time at 313 (ate din tai fung and explored hmv), citylink (to find roxy) and suntec (fondue). in the end, we bought our pressies from plaza sing. i got a cookie monster puppet! :D

wednesday was the day for xmas party! i got lost when i was on the way to claudia's. turns out, i dropped off at the right stop but walked in the wrong direction when i was in the estate. to give you an idea, here's my phone convo with noel/claudia:
sam: hello? what's your house number?
noel: *shouts at claudia* she says 57.
*sam looks around and notices that all the numbers are 90+ and increasing*

in the end, i managed to find clara and claudia who were at the playground with some of the guys. turns out they went there just seconds after i turned into the wrong road. noel got me a clam CHOWDER -.- he said something about me liking it as long as CHOWDER is there. sheesh. had a rousing game of pictionary with some of them. it was super funny! and clara said i'm a good guesser :D yay. barbeque was pretty good. i must say, our class guys are quite good at this. "this" refers to barbeque, not generally cooking. i pity those girls who're their future wives, whose gonna eat barbeque very often! cos i definitely don't want large chunks of carcinogen clogging up my system.

I.GOT.DRUNK. well, slightly. couldn't stop smiling (:

xmas drama in church was simply awesome! funny moments were really really funny :D and seriously, it's a love story. how romantic. i won't mind if something like that happened to me too! ;D ivan got saved on christmas day! woohoo~


lately, i've been feeling like some extra on the sidelines. i missed out on all the fun while i was away.

i'm... sad.
12:27 AM

hey! sorry about not posting for the past couple of weeks. kinda lazy you know. ok anyway, today i went for a singout choirs gathering at sentosa. quite many people went. hung around with tingyimg and played in the water and all that. my sis sorta reached sentosa earlier than i did, and by the time i reached there, she was completely soaked already! i asked her, "eh you never bring extra clothes right?" and she just said, "aiya whatever la. just come in and play!"

went to play captain's ball for a bit. one lesson i learnt is that playing captain's ball on the beach is so not fun cos the ball can't bounce D: after that, went with tingying to soak our feet in the sea. felt cooling, really good. a while later, the rest came along and they started splashing water and soaking people into the sea. so in the end, i got really wet, and i didn't bring clothes to change. another lesson i learnt is to always bring bathing necessities when i go to sentosa. tingying said she wanted to try out the flying fox, but it was like 29 bucks for 1 ride o.o

after an endless cycle of soaking in the sea, walking along the beach and tanning, it was finally time to pack up. everyone who brought clothes went to the toilet to shower. i stayed at the shelter to wait for fion and taiyang to come back from 7 eleven, then the 3 of us tanned some more. i wore my slippers, so now my feet have my slipper shape again! and my face feels kinda hot (not cos i'm blushing from beach hunks). that reminds me, there weren't any beach hunks today D: aww.

had a really late lunch at the vivo kopitiam, then went to the rooftop water park thingy to just chill out ( and sweep sand out of my butt -.-). headed for home with tingying, aloysius, ivy and salanne.

oh ya, my sis said something stupid today. here's our phone conversation:
sis: eh just now i called mummy and told her i staying at sentosa till 8.
sam: oh.
sis: remember the sentosa card? don't tell mummy that the card is a 1-time thing hor.
sam: ya la *thinking "you also don't tell mummy i got myself soaked and have no spare clothes hor!"*
sis: really ah, don't forget leh.
sam: yeah, bye.
sis: bye.

when i reached home, i was so dry that no one could even tell i soaked myself! thank God for thin cotton shirts! and my pants were so dark a blue that no one could tell it was wet! HAHA. (pants take a longer time to dry.) and actually, no one knew my sis was staying till 8, so when i came home myelf, they asked where she was and i said, "she said she want to stay there longer." see? i didn't even have to mention paying entrance fee la ._. i rock.

7 days to penang! :D claris is my roomie. let's hope it doesn't get too awkward, since i don't know her that well.
9:21 PM

it's me again. the past few days have been pretty good, mostly because i've had some awesome time assassins :D HAHA. ok not really, but i still managed to past time quickly!

you know, i think i might be suffering from mild insomnia. have been sleeping super late in the night/early in the next day, like between 1 to 4 am. last night, i slept at 5am and i heard my grandma's alarm clock ringing already. like ""oh man, she's about to wake up and i haven't even slept yet!" yep, and see now, i'm blogging at such a strange hour. hmm. maybe later i'll go play the psp :D

earlier on, a "fight" sorta broke out between me and my sis.
at 8.45pm,
mum: eh faster go and bathe! i want to turn on the (washing machine).
sam: huh, but later at 9 got The Four! and i take more than 15 min to bathe.
mei: let me bathe first la, since dajie always so slow!
mama: no, you this afternoon already showered, let dajie go bathe. you're not even sweaty.
mei: *super cranky and black-faced* EHHHH!!!! I'M FEELING VERY WARM LO!
*sam rushes into the bathroom and tries to close the door while mei tries to open the door. sam wins.*

so, there, my sis got even more pissed and sent me some sms that i don't think should be typed here. whatever, i took only 20 minutes in the toilet man. then she screamed at me to hurry up. i tell you, her scream was just like those of hardcore metal rock bands :/ scary.

today i watched A Christmas Carol in 3D with my sis and cousin. it was kinda nice, except that most parts were serious rather than funny. and the flying bits made me really dizzy. all along, i thought this show was acted out by humans, till i watched it. mr scrooge did look like jim carrey though. HAHA.

next movie: Avatar.

phil collins songs are very inspirational. i'm referring to the ones he sang for Brother Bear. the show's good, but the music makes it better.

i really really feel like pooping on you, then making you walk under a million trees so all the pigeons and whatnots will poop on you some more. after that, i'll stuff a giant piping hot bowl of laksa in your undies.
12:29 AM

today i'm blogging from my dad's/mine laptop. technically, it's mine already cos he's got his company laptop :D not to mention the time i told him over the webcam that this laptop is sucky, and he definitely won't mind giving me something THAT lousy. HAHA. anyway, this laptop doesn't even have a cd player ._. what's up with that? i can't listen to my new kris allen and boys like girls album D: i have to use the oh so bulky radio.

today's prom night. wait...

tonight's prom night. saying "today's prom night" is strange. then i would have to say "today's prom day", which is even stranger cos i don't think anyone has a prom in the day. it'll ruin the glam and romantic (?) atmosphere -.- remember the 7 bruises i got during cycling? now they're kinda visible cos i sorta rubbed them. sheesh. and the cut i got while clearing my books is now smeared with insoluble fibrin threads that are peeling. my dress can't cover that. i wonder what prom will be like. hopefully the dinner's a buffet rather than thoses served by fancy waiters, then i can eat as much as i want :D gonna snap photos with everyone too, just for memory's sake (: today's singout too! if either prom or singout were during different days, then i can go for both.

gahh, just now the wireless connection got cut off. see, that's why this laptop is sucky.

boys like girls is awesome :D
12:39 PM

yesterday, we had some awesome class barbeque at masai's house. went cycling at east coast park too. you'll never believe me when i say that i got a slight sunburn on my face and arms, and my feet also carry the shape of my slippers! :D thank God for the weather, man! otherwise it would've been some dull and wet day.

other than the slight sunburn, i also got 7 new bruises all over my legs -.- at one point when we were cycling, i was right in front. then i realised that there was no one around me, so i looked back. who knew, i actually lost my balance and my butt slipped off the seat and onto the back wheel, while i was still holding onto the handlebars. damn my shortness that disabled me to plant my feet firmly on the ground D:< my bike toppled and the basket dropped off, but lucky i didn't topple with the bike. *phew* so yep, i got bruises on my legs, just in time for prom too ._.

you know what? i also feel lucky that i'm single, because only singles have the right to say "omgosh, those guys are hunky!" HAHA. after cycling, annabel and i went to sit at some table with clara and claudia, and we saw this group of guys (more than 10 of them) who were jogging. clara and i somewhat ogled at them, and maybe claudia was too. then clara told claudia off for ogling, cos she's got no right to ogle at other guys. HAHA. the funniest bit was when we were walking back to masai's house, and i just randomly said "aww man, i won't see those hunks again." roughly 5 seconds after that, they started jogging back! this time, clara kept talking to claudia so claudia won't have the chance to ogle. well, clara lost her chance to ogle too. not for me though :D

in the evening, walked around the condo, saw some class guys swim (not hunky like the joggers) and watched jingyi play taiti with other guys. she kept telling me that her cards were so lousy, and i kept reminding her that i don't know how to play XD i also had this crazy idea about the pool, but darn, forgot to put the plan into action. so anyway, had barbeque, laughed a lot, rained for a bit, my gang sang me a birthday song (felt embarrassed). mr chang, mrs chang, baby chang and mr koh came too! baby chang doesn't like huibing. HAHA! why didn't mr koh come with mrs koh and baby koh? D: at 9pm i went off, and that marked the end of the class barbeque and also the last time i'm gonna see some of them. aww. anyway, i'm sure they'll plan something fun again :D

going science centre with my gang tomorrow! the clothing theme is to wear something checkered. i'm sure we'll have a blast there :D
6:45 PM

hey peepo! sam is officially off school and exams for NOW! yep, and since the big Os is over (unbelievable!), it's time to get into serious business with this whole blogging thing :D

first up, prom's coming next tuesday. me is going out with huibing and wantian this friday to scout for clothes at orchard. usually, i'm not all that hyped about shopping, what's more, this is gonna be some really hardcore shopping. nonetheless, it IS for prom and maybe to make up for my severely famished wardrobe, not to mention a day out with huibing and wantian (:D)! i'll make the exception this time.

right now, i'm clearing up my books to make room for new ones (i guess so) and you know, just to make my room look neat again ;D fyi, that mr messy colour-me-in is still stuck on the room door. finally, i can see parts of the room which i haven't seen for the longest time! and my room's now less of a dust-collecting contraption than it was before. so, hooray for that :D

birthday coming up in 3 days! yeah man, i'm all geared up for this (: at last, i won't have to sneak into cinemas or worry about buying ticks when it comes to nc16 shows (not that i always do this, but it's something i might do). anyway, gonna have fun with my gang of friends this thursday. we're gonna spend the day in a foreign state, jurong :D HAHA.

suddenly i have this feeling of nausea. sheesh. hope i'm well enough to go for the class barbeque tomorrow :/
8:11 PM

whoa, finally, it's not 2 months before O levels now! man that's bitterweet o.o ok nevermind.

we just got our report books back. L1R4 was 12, L1R5 was 19.kinda sucky, and mum said that maybe i shouldn't have taken music or triple science. anyway it's too late to drop subjects already. gonna prove her wrong with my O level results, that's why this is probably the last time i'll blog till november. though i must admit, i should have quit music at the beginning of the year. oh well, it's all too late now D: dad's at a fishing trip at bintan. wonder what his reaction will be like when he sees my results tomorrow. hopefully he won't scold me, but he'll probably cancel my computer privileges and ask me to stop going to church for the time being (he knows he can't do that!).

september holidays are coming up mext week, but still gotta go to school for 3 out of the 5 normal school days. oh sheesh. i want O levels to hurry up and go away! D: but actually, i'm not that prepared yet, so i think O levels should just take its time. oh sheesh. definitely going to poly. now i'm deciding between NP and SP. i favour NP better, but still can't make up my mind. maybe i should just wait for results to come out before deciding again. i'm defo taking a course with bio in it.

realised something? my entire post didn't have a :D in it.
hey wait, now there's one.
:D
there's another one. makes it 2 :D
now there's 3 :D
and 4 :D
and 5 :D
and 6...
i should stop now.
:D
