听妈妈的话

an interesting conversation between phebe and i.

听妈妈的话 was playing in the background...
then, came the chorus.
so phebe started singing it out.
when the chorus ended,
i said,
"你听妈妈的话吗？"

phebe nodded enthusiastically,
"听听。。。"

me:
"如果你听妈妈的话就合kh**g m**g在一起!"

haha.. we took a video with my phone. but its real lousy quality.
our voices cant be heard.
so i am not going to post it up.

everyone, lets march on

Don't cry, open up your eyes and know
There's someone else out there that feels this way

I'm singing to you
Cause I know what you've been through and now
It's not so long ago I felt the same

Like soldiers, march on
If we can make it through tonight we'll see the sun
March on, march on

And I remember summer nights alone
Fireflies the only thing we own
Yeah, all we had were dreams of California
And I remember winters were so cold
Hunger was the only thing we know
And rock'n'roll dreamin' was what saved us

Like soldiers, march on
If we can make it through tonight we'll see the sun
March on, march on

Till we see the sun, march on, till we see the sun
Through the good times, through the bad times
Through the long days, through the hard nights
Keep on, till we see the sun

Like soldiers, march on
If we can make it through tonight we'll see the sun
March on, march on

Like soldiers, march on
If we can make it through tonight we'll see the sun
March on, march on

Even when there's no one there for you march on
Even when the days are long for you march on
And like soldiers, march on


To all my dearest friends,
results may not be as well as expected.
it may be a trauma whenever you receive those results.
it may seem as though all the effort you had put in were not worth it.
you feel disappointed in yourself.
you felt like you have disappoint your parents and all those who cared.
you felt like its the end of the world.
you feel so much hatred towards that subject.
you feel so much hatred towards school
seeing all the friends around you scoring so well,
you can't help but ask youself,
"am i stupid or stupid?"
haiz. sadly, i feel the same way.
yes, my dearest friends, i know how you are feeling.
this is a song for all of you.
Be strong, stand up and march on.
its not the end of the world.
ultimately we are all working hard for As.
let's all march on together.
you have my support.
we all have each other's support.
come on, we shall and we can overcome this together!

CancelJIAYOU TO ALL OF US!'
WE CAN DO IT!

TJ tutors

haha.. i found this funny link about TJ tutors.
but i think its like quite old already. they should update it soon.
=) interesting =)

and this links to a "general introduction" of TJ.

"Stand a whole bunch of TJCians together and u get a drying forest."

water babies

do any one of you know what are water babies/jellies?
this is getting pretty popular in primary schools, for example my nephew's primary school.

one day, my nephew messaged me, saying that his water babies are very cute.
and being the noob me, i don't know what water babies are.
so he described them to me:
"Water babies are like jelly.
but they can grow and reproduce and have babies.
there are several colors, transparent, purple, green,pink and blue, which are very rare."

according to my nephew it will get "pregnant" after five or six days.
then you will see a ba lu ku there.
one of his transparent one already has a ba lu ku.
the green water babies will "give birth" to a green offspring etc.

just put the water babies in water and it will grow.

so being the curious me, i asked him if they will die.
and he said yes, if i press or squeeze them too hard.

i found this thing very interesting, so i went to do some research on this thing.
and i found out that the scientific name is polyacrylamide copolymer gel.
it is a non-toxic chemical.
it is discovered by this guy called Steve Spangler.

the original purpose of water babies is to increase the water holding capacity of soil.
and it consists of chemicals that has many uses that can be applied to our daily life.
for example breast implants!!
and also contributes to some part of contact lenses too.
you can read more about it here.

anyway my nephew has kindly offered to give me a few of his green water babies.
and he reminded me to bring along a water container filled with water to his house.
(and after doing my research, i don't think that the babies can die though.)

so i shall visit his house this coming saturday,
with a water container filled with water.
and be prepared to welcome my new pets- water babies!

am i childish?
nah...it is to make up for the loss of childhood.

shall post pictures of my water babies up if i am too not lazy.
=)

my long lost sis

early in the morning.
once i reach school, i saw kesleen peeping at me from behind the wall.

she commented that we look like sisters in this picture.

(and the color you see here is far from the actual color.
it looks like coffee here.
but according to dawn, my hot choc looks like muddy water.)

(i remember rotating it. i wonder why is it still unrotated!)

dawn and i.
waiting for the candy floss to be "spun out"

it is starting to form some floss at the side.
looks like clouds!

this is dawn showing her priced master piece!

.........

(blogger should consider having a batch upload tool to facilitate the pictures uploading.
its so slow and cumbersome to upload only 5picture at once.)

and sorry seven sisters for not uploading those pictures yet.
but kesleen upload already lo.
i am quite sick of blogging.
haha.

look me in the eyes

this is the nicer version of this song.
sang with the female.
duet. i love it so.

(the full song can't be heard yet..until the streaming is approved.)

If the heart is always searching
Can you ever find a home
I've been looking for that someone
I'll never make it on my own
Dreams can't take the place of loving you
There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true

When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright
When you're right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes

How long will I be waiting
To be with you again
Gonna tell you that I love you
In the best way that I can
I can't take a day without you here
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear

When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright
When you're right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes

More and more, I start to realize
I can reach my tomorrow
I can hold my head up high
And it's all because you're by my side

When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright
When you're right here by my side

When I hold you in my arms
I know that it's forever
I just gotta let you know
I never wanna let you go
When you look me in the eyes.

And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright
When you're right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes

tonight

this is one of my current favorites!
i think the lyrics are very meaningful.


I remember the times we spent together
All those drives, we had a million questions
All about our lives
And when we got to New York everything felt right
I wish you were here with me,
Tonight

I remember the days we spent together,
were not enough, it used to feel like dreaming
Except we always woke up,
Never thought not having you here now
Would hurt so much

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I remember the time you told me
About when you were eight
And all those things you said that night
That just couldn't wait
I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
And stayed out way too late

I remember the time you sat and told me
About your Jesus, and how not to look back
Even if no one believes us
When it hurts so bad, sometimes
Not having you here

I say
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I say
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

fortunate me

"its really a very nice feeling to know that there is always someone for you to care for and someone caring for you." -my dear friend.
(KESLEEN YEO)

yeah, it is indeed. it take your time to find mr right. and though every girl yearns to be that beautiful princess in fairy tales, but very often than not things do not happen that way.

my long day

this was a conversation with my eyes before typing this post.
me: "my dearest beautiful eyes, can you please open bigger for me to see the keyboard?"
(yeah, i cant touch type. fine, i am lousy lo.)
and my eyes initiated a cell signalling pathway to the muscles trying to make them open bigger.
ok, but not much difference was made. so i am sorry if this entry is super duper lousy. i am in the sleeping mood! yawns..

early yesterday morning, mr qixiang called me!
i cant quite remember what he was saying as i was awaken from my sleep at 0736.
yeah, i was still snoring at home.
luckily me has a monday timetable that starts at 1050... =)
no more monday blues for me!
anyway, back to mr qixiang, i think he was looking for da jie(jiawei)
haiyo. i did not abduct jiawei hor.
bleahs! interupt my beauty sleep! hmph.

due to his interruption, i slept passed my alarm.
i tried to snooze my alarm, but it ended up turned off!
wah, if dear hadn't message me, i would have slept way pass the time to go to school!
=( so sleepy!
had to drag my tired legs out of bed. yawns.

waited for the 168 for around 25 minutes.
i guess i missed the bus.
next time i should use iris. the sbs collaboration with singtel.
sadly only singtel subscribers get to use it.
m1 should seriously consider joining forces with sbs!

reached school like just in time for cecil ang's maths lecture.
it was supposed to be the old woman's lecturing.
but clever infant chose to change LT.
yeah, i love her man! she did the right choice.
i don't wanna go to school just to face that old woman.
(as i actually conveniently skipped Econs lecture.)

and here comes the exciting part!
brownie topped with marshmallow making at jiawei's house!

it was for liyong's very belated present.
about 19days only la.

the topping marshmallows thingy was a brilliant idea contributed by jiawei.
and my tired legs had to drag themselves through 3 different supermarkets just to get the cake mix.
but along the way, i was rewarded with delicious chicken rice and bubbletea!
Each-a-cup bubble teas are still the best.
(although they do not have papaya flavour.)

finally we reached jiawei's and mr ****'s house.
three storey high!
amazing right. and i wonder why isn't mr **** home?

we did like tons of other things at jiawei's house besides cake baking!
taking pictures. her house is a very artistic place for photo taking.
drinking jolly shandy. and phebe got drank.
played mind teasers games. i am a well trained candidate by NPCC!
drinking lots of plain water. jiawei has a tap with plain water that i love to refilll water from. it is another artistic ornament with rustic charm.

finally left her house at 6plus.
was really very very tired already. but i was given the task to buy liyong's eeyore!
kesleen and i tried our luck at East point, hoping to find something that liyong will like.
but we realised that East point is such a useless place to find gifts.
both of us were drained mentally and physically.
kesleen left me to take bus home, while i made my way to the toyrus in tampines mall.
by then, i felt that legs were going to give way soon and i just cant wait to get home.

as i was sleepwalking to my bus stop.
i bumped into meifen coincidentally.
it was really a very long time since i last saw her.
then we ended up chit chatting at mos burger.
for nearly close to 2 hours.
it feels really nice talking to her.
and we are like fated to have met each other and talked for so long.
glad to have known her. a very pleasant girl indeed. =)

we talked till around 9plus.
and i finally left for home.
fengshan 85 green tea tang yuan awaits me.=)
yummy!
but damn full!
the four green tea tang yuan joined the oh-so-sweet marshmallow brownies in my stomach.
i had such a fulfilling day. (both physically and mentally.)

it was supposed to be a real short day for me.
however it ended up so so long.
it was really tiring, but never mind, its worth it.

(pictures will be up next time. sorry everyone. especially to kesleen who keeps pestering me. my brother needs to use the computer NOW!)

hatred for fish bones

little miss happy was happily eating her dinner.
her index finger and thumb reached out for the plate of fish on the table.
"ouch!!"- came a shriek.
the fish bone poked her index finger!

it was a painful experience!
and she officially declared her hatred towards fish!
no more fish for her.

here she is typing this post with her injured index finger finger.

i am touched!

I love reading Joan's entry. Never fails to put a smile on my face. There are times when my lappy couldn't view her blog entries and it made me feel lik im missing out on all the interesting stuffs. She will recall on the funny things we did earlier in the day and the recollection never fails to make me feel how silly we've been. im very lucky to have known someone who shares my joy, my emo-ness, my loves, my hates, my stupid jokes and gossips! I can tell her everything without restrictions because i know she'll keep these secrets well. She'll stand up for you when you're in trouble. A true and genuine friend.
I feel like snoopy when im with woodstock, because when you need someone to turn to, she's always there for you.
Someone whom i'll really miss after i graduate.=]

Another friend i want to thank here is Kristen!! Both of us had no idea since when we started becoming besties. In contrary to me n Joan, me and Kristen have different personalities. I guess that's what they meant when opposite poles attract. She was there through my darkest moment. She's a good listener and is always giving me support. Without her, i'll probably still be emo-ing. Her encouragement and messages really helped me get through difficult times during my years in Tj and im glad to have her as my dearest friend.
I'll be there for her too if she ever needs a listening ear but i hope that she won't ever need one. =)

There's so many of you who had made a positive impact in my life so far and it would be impossible to name you all in a single entry. i really appreciate the help and care you've given me. Without friends like you to bring joy into my life, i'll probably be sulking everyday.
A big THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU PEOPLE! -hugs-

quoted form kesleen's blog.
after reading this i was touched.
has been wanting to post this up since very long ago.
hehe!
thank you kesleen!!
i am glad i made a difference in your life!
hope that we can continue being such good and close friends even after leaving TJ.
glad to have known you. :)
wanna tell you that you made a difference in my life too!
you brought colours into my boring mundane mugging life!

BUT there is one very important thing!!
YOU CAN"T BE SNOOPY!!
and no no no!!! you are so not snoopy number 1 hor!!
=P
"go find your own woodstock!"
haha! that was directly qouted from my snoopy number1!! =)
why not you be my pooh?? hmmm... no no..i will think of something better for you.. from peanuts land also.

i love me!

haha....
so funny la!! hmm..
i din say anything! but i fully agree that i am cute!
(yes, liyong says that i am cute!)

JOSHUA

i am gonna watch this on sat =)
looks freaky and scary.
and he is just a child.
(i wonder why is the volume so soft. or is it just my ears?)

last paper liao!

yeah i am excited!
excited about pepper lunch!
no longer excited about our steamboat at ZhenFa. =(
i am sad lo.
thanks to our very indecisive guys!
i had never ever tried the steamboat there lo!
so sua ku rite?
i have like heard millions about it, yet i haven gone there before!
bleahs!!
first time, wanted to go there with project comp people,
then ended up at hans instead.
then now, once again! i am disappointed!
i am so not fated to go ZhenFa.
not fated to see the half dying prawn struggling!
~sadistic~
haha..

fortunately, i still have my seven sisters.
who never fails to disappoint me!
haha!
yeah! pepper lunch here we come!

there is gonna be lots of camwhoring.
since we took a break for such a long long time! =)

i m an accepting mother

today, liyong commented that if my daughter has a boyfriend next time, i will be very willing to accept right?
yup, i will.
provided that the guy is like her dad. can give her true happiness.

recently, my dad just went for a sex talk in my brother's school.
i read some of the brochures that my dad brought home.
one of them said that for most parents they think that it will be acceptable for their children to go into a relationship after they are 16.
and i am like 17 going 18 real soon!

and i am pretty sure that i am not those stupid little spoilt brat that will get conned by some big bad wolf right?
furthermore, infant emphasizes on my mature thinking.
see.it means that i think before i do certain things.

i really don't understand.
i mean what's that difficult to accept?

i guess there is just too little understanding about who i really am.

maybe i am a different person when i am at home and outside.
the conditions are different.
i mean there are so many people who care for you at home.
obviously i will be a little stubborn and childish at times.
cause i know that these people won't mind me acting like that.
and i know that i don't have to safeguard myself against them.
they are my family members.

but when i am outside, i am fully aware that i am outside.
i won't just trust anyone entirely whatsoever.
i may appear to trust people a lot.
but i certainly will not let anyone lead me to the wrong pathway.
i am sensible enough to know what's right and what's not.
i do have my own set of values that i adhere to.
it may be different from your set of values, but that doesn't mean that it is wrong.
to always insist that your so-called values are right is being stubborn.
i am ok with you not accepting my set of values but just give me some respect.
yup, i agree that is a little respect around.
but probably sometimes there is the issue of pride.
pride held so high that it needs to be lowered.
if not there will never be sufficient understanding.
instead of hating the fact, why not just accept it.
accept it and be more understanding.
i mean literally understanding- like understand about certain things.
probably provide some guidance along though i doubt you have much.
and i think i am really being too much here.
i was really quite angry for a moment.

and you said that you want to read my blog.
wow. i think you will be quite shocked?
i dunno.
you will think that i am completely a different person?
i dunno. i really dunno.

all these years, do you really know me?
but i have to tell you that although i dislike the fact that you are unable to accept certain things.
and unable to give me enough trust,
i do respect you a lot.
i really do.

and i had probably inherited your stubbornness.
come to think of it again,
i sort of think that i don't know you very well also.
there are certain things that i feel that you should tell us.
maybe you think that the time is not right.
but there is no right or wrong timing to say certain things.

i really wish to know you better.
and hope that you are willing to understand me better too.

rolly!

once again, rolly impresses!
