Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside
Ikea with Laopa yesterday. Still didn't finalize on the furniture but we got to eat our Ikea hotdogs! (: To Darren's after that to pack replacement decks. I think I'm suited for this kind of packing jobs. I should really go to China.
Was at the Arena warehouse sale this morning. Impromptu decision because I planned to go tmrw but since the Mother and Sister were going, why not? MOM PAID FOR EVERYTHING ANYWAY but I've gotta return her 5 bucks cos I bought that purple cap for Ariel.
Annis and I got matching PRETTAYE red swimsuits, she got herself another swimsuit and we each got ourselves swimcaps of different shades of blue. Plus Ariel's cap, altogether was only $54 (: Wanted to get this tshirt but the sizes were limited, too bad. We are good girls we help mommy save money! LOL yeah right!
Work was at ECP today, trained one boy who refused to cooperate and gave lots of excuses. I think his dad forced him into it. Poor kid. Received a call from Shenn! Pleasant surprise :D She asked me my shoe size and said I was gonna love her to bits (; Oh yeah and the new stock arrived today and we have two more junior boards to be rented out. I asked David if I could name them and he said okay but not from J01-J03. So I labelled them 'J(infinity)' and 'J!' so special right :D
Went for training but didn't train. Played with Ariel and Aragorn I swear he's the cutest thing on earth. When we were doing squats (the only thing I joined in) he was doing it also! Damn cute! And I took a video of him in the act! Ariel was being naughty as usual, but she's still cute (: Celebrated Em's birthday, she's really paranoid about her age lol!
Right, I wanna shop. I am serious. I've made a shopping list and I'm gonna strike the stuff off my list one by one when November's pay comes :D
Breakfast with Evelyn tmrw before we split up for work! I am so gonna break the record for the most sales in Toysrus bleah.
Do, do you got a first aid kit handy
Do, do you know how to patch up a wound
Lately I've been seeing the world from somewhat like a plane view. Well, not literally but it's like taking a step back, out of the comfort zone where I'm so accustomed to the things around me. Something like, I knew all along that the world's fake, but I've never felt any stronger about it until now. (Even before that theft incident.)
I feel like I have so many questions, to which most are left unanswered, or rather, there are simply just no answers. Paper Towns was just what I needed. Something so relevant, so comforting. It's the feeling that you're understood, that you're not alone.
"Here's what's not beautiful about it: from here, you can't see the rust or the cracked paint or whatever, but you can tell what the place really is. You see how fake it all is. It's not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It's a paper town. I mean look at it, Q: look at all those cul-de-sacs, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenience store. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. All the things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people, too. I've lived here for eighteen years and I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters."
-Paper Towns, John Green
And I'd want to be like Margo, I'd want to leave. Leave these paper towns, to a real paper town like Algoe which was 'a place where a paper creation became real'. "A dot on the map became a real place, more real than the people who created the dot could ever have imagined."
You are going to the Paper Towns. And you are never coming back.
25 minutes too late,
Straightened my hair again today. Jacky accompanied me and I accompanied him to get his swaveboard. Well he got a black skull :D See I'm so qin lao, promoting outside working hours! Lol kidding.
Pei-ed Laopa to amk industrial park 1 to look around to see if there are any other nice furniture, then back to central for more. And we unexpectedly ended up shopping and almost jue jiao over a tshirt. LOL kidding la how would we ever jue jiao right (;
I'm gonna win all 10 races for Pet Society today, and visit all my 40 odd friends to earn more coins to have a well-furnished house for Cera.
OMG I MISS SHENN TAN ):
Now that your rose is in bloom,
Arcade-d with Ah Teck, Ceci, Newton and Sally today at Lao Di Fang (J8 arcade). Felt like I haven't woke up.. SO EARLY in the morning! Like normally Anges Loy would be screaming when playing Silent Hill sort of stuff but nope, not this morning. Wanted to join them for party world after that but Laopo booked me long before that. So I headed home to pack training stuff before going out again to meet Minhui and people for Kbox.
We like super goondu make wasted trip to tpy just to find that the Kbox there has closed down. So they suggested amk WHICH WAS WHERE I JUST CAME FROM. Yeah then 2 hours into the singing, while we all took turns to go out and refill the titbits and it happened to be my turn, I walked past the room next to ours and someone inside shouted my name!
Guess who guess who! It was Ah Teck and gang! Somehow they decided to go there instead like omg we were all screaming and squealing (typical SN girls) then WS friends said they expected it cos they could hear my "OMG"s from our room.
And consequently, I kept running over to their side :D This is called Fate.
Okay so, we were damn late for training and Xiaoying received this call from Jialong saying Mr Kwa and Emily were very angry. And we stood outside contemplating if we should just run away. But we still went in in the end to find out it was all a lie! Okay luckily we never go home.
IM-ed again. I really cannot do backstroke lah! Forever hor lan one!
Sent Shenn and friends off for the school's Korea trip last night. Everyone's going to Korea or Hong Kong ): I AM SO JEALOUS. Ate Popeyes like after so long! :D And I hate to admit it but I already miss that girl. Okay I shouldn't make her feel so important :P
I am so bored so bored so bored. Life sucks without money. I need to shop excessively and I really want that belt which costs 59 bucks and PS: I noted that its a want and not a need.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen
Good day gone bad.
The day started out good cos I was gonna meet Lai Zhenqin (finally) to go shopping at Marina Sq/Suntec. We were at Suntec's Cotton On and she came over to my dressing room for a short while and when she went over to her room she saw this girl walk out looking very flustered. Well Zq's first instinct was to check her wallet and she found 50 bucks gone, and the thing is that the location of her bag was shifted.
She immediately confronted that girl and of course that girl denied, and her friend was like "You can check her, you can check her." which isn't really the first thing you would say when someone accuses your friend of stealing.
And like damn weird she went into the same room to change out. Zhenqin was still hoping she would feel abit guilty and put the money back and we would just treat it as if nothing happened. When that girl came out she told us that before she went in there was this caucasian guy wearing a green and white striped polo tee who went in, which was quite impossible within that short period of time.
Giving her the benefit of doubt, I ran out to scan if there was any caucasian guy like she described and as you would have guessed, there wasn't. Then we left the shop and discussed about what just happened. I was quite certain that she was lying so I went back to Cotton On to double check with the salesgirl who stood at the aisle and she said there were only girls there.
We wanted to give her a last chance so we confronted her again when we saw her walking towards us. She didn't even dare to look at Zhenqin and she was all teary-eyed, but still she said she didn't take it. What a liar.
Such an ugly incident. I really don't understand why such people exist.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
A whole week's gone in a flash.
Thursday was spent with Shenn Tan at her mom's country club after the Physics R paper in schl which I didn't even read the questions cos I was copying wholesale.
Food was Great with a capital G! Swam awhile and only I got darker :D First time in eons I'm swimming for leisure. Almost forgot how that felt like -.- Steam bath was spoilt so we went to the sauna instead.
Some noob sh*t thought the water in the tub was used to pour on yourself when you're dehydrated. I can't believe I almost bought her story! In the end we made the temperature until 60 degrees and I almost suffocated inside!
Delayed alot in the sauna and we missed another bus. So we went to grab a bite. Who knew, we missed ANOTHER bus (: And that girl missed her footing and fell, just that we didn't know her ankle was dislocated.
Accompanied her to Kallang for the match after that and headed home.
Friday we were supposed to go bake at Jacky's house again. Shenn couldn't make it cos her ankle was swollen. So Jiaxin, Jacky and I baked for her this time (: Jacky is such a procrastinator.
Saturday I was at Vivo Toysrus from 11 to 4 with Ruby. Made 6 sales! Mad rush to Bayshore Park right after. Met up with Evelyn, Ken and Sky at City Hall before taking to Bedok then cabbing down for the Milly and Jade's party. Got pushed into the pool so many times that I was so lazy to get up in the end. Realised that so many people don't know how to swim! And they were the ones who kept pushing people. Milly zi zhao lor! Next time we teach her how to swim first then push her down :P
Today was at ECP with Laopa, finally! But it rained for damn long and we were so bored ):
Too bad Ah Teck, Ceci, Hark, Jieying and I have NO COMMON FREE DAY at all this coming week. My hands are itching for arcade! >:[ We are all so busy.
I don't feel myself.
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Just saw a plane! But can't catch :/ No one to help me hit.
Yesterday started with David and I teaching some kids from the Skatesports camp how to play the swaveboard. They're damn cute too bad didn't have enough time with them. And I AM NOT A PAEDOPHILE grr.
So just when I thought the day was gonna be spent rotting away in front of the comp, I received a message from Jacky Ong Jiejun in the evening saying Shenn Tan wants us to go to his house to bake cookies. Like omg so impromptu I STAY FREAKING FAR. Yeah but even though it was late and all, we still headed on with our plans. (Which I'm glad we did)
Met Chen Xin at City Hall before we got ourselves bubble tea and ogled at some Japanese ice cream before finally making our way to Jacky's house. Yes we all can't live without food. Oh man what about our dieting plans!
We were kept entertained by his frog-munching fishes and Chen Xin the guinea pig (named after Shenn Tan) and we went to get ingredients for the cookies, and on the way we got ingredients for honeydew sago and a 'water pear' too. I swear Neh looked SO GOOD sniffing the buttocks of the honeydews HAHA.
In the end we made honeydew sago, spaghetti, frozen pear drink, and last but not least chocolate chip cookies! Which all were successful ultimately :D
Yes and as quoted from Shenn Tan,
"Apparently we spoiled a perfectly good pot by continuing to heat up blocks of glued sago seeds. HAHA, even jacky's mom said we could throw it away. choked the basin, splattered pasta sauce on walls, butter on the floor, and a few black sets of cookies. butbut but , Its somehow a success please! ;D" summing up about everything we did, with the exception of the absent-minded us cos we almost forgot to add the chocolate chips, and the flour fight at the very end. Both of them backstabbers lol!
Ya and meanwhile there was a company mass convo going on on msn and the pigs want cookies too. See my mood :D
Yup hope Jiaxin enjoys the cookies we made for her! Too bad she couldn't indulge in the fun craziness! Till next time then (:
PS: Rah omg tmrw is the Physics paper and I haven't even studied one bit. Talk about procrastination :/
We'd cross the deepest oceans,
Cargo across the sea.
And if you don't believe me,
Just put your hands on me
Was at Danga city mall in JB this weekend promoting our boards. The "performances" were quite screwed. Different things cropped up but we sure had fun (: All in all we knew each other abit better after this :D
Became quite a glutton during these two days. Darren's dad is super generous, we went to this restaurant and he ordered 2 plates of everything, which included chicken, duck, char siew, fish, fried omelette, fried tofu, vegetables and two different types of soup. Felt like my stomach was gonna explode anytime soon.
And it was damn ironic cos Milly, Evelyn and I were saying Felix was a pig cos he felt like sleeping right after the meal on our way back to the mall, and the next moment all of us fell asleep except for Felix. Ya then he still fed us with Papa Roti after that.
For Sunday we ate at Manhatten's Fish Market. With them around don't need to be afraid no good food to eat huh.
So friends please do Anges Loy a great favour and don't feed her with excessive amount of food starting from now cos she's now feeling super guilty :/
Ariel called me using Kok Huabin's phone on my way back home. She asked me why I didn't go for training on Saturday. So I explained to her in VERY layman terms about the trip. Put her on loudspeaker and the rest agreed she was cute. Lol no matter how naughty she gets she's still so adorable huh (:
Looking forward to Streetwave's next event! :D
Stacks on deck, patrone on ice
And we can pop bottles all night
Baby you could have whatever you like
I said you could have whatever you like
Yeah
Roamed Queensway for 1 hour plus yesterday before Miss LATE came, then went around to look for her "pig" symbol Nike shoes. Too bad don't have her size lol. Bought Umbro dri-fits and landyards together and I bought a bag for myself. Found the cutest place on Earth in Anchorpoint. I wanna spend 4th Dec there friends! :D Weiting knows you all can go ask her! After that we went to Ikea and Laopa was busy writing down all the stuff she wants to get for her newly painted room, and she's serious about it. So jealous I wanna revamp my room also!
Got back my results slip only today cos there was some error and I couldn't take it home after OP. This was how I fared for the whole year:
Economics - E
General Paper - D
Chemistry - E
Maths - C
Physics - S
Ugly ain't it, now don't laugh.
First thing my Mom said when she saw it was: "Whoa so many subjects and not even an A."
Hello I'm so glad I'm promoted successfully? Okay I know it isn't all that fantastic and I know that I was wasting this whole year away but I definitely wasn't playing a fool with my results. See what I mean by no one sees beyond grades? I am just amused cos she still doesn't realise that she has a procrastinator for a daughter who only wakes up at the eleventh hour.
Fyi, JJ leaders have to clock in studying hours for 4 weeks during this holiday for every subject that we score a D and below. Which in my case, is EVERYTHING except for Maths. I was so worried that my Maths was a D before I collected my results slip luh. Yes its 8 hours each for every H2 subject and 6 hours for every H1 subject per week. I am not joking.
Therefore I dragged myself out of bed at an unearthly time of 8.30 and went to school today to "study" with Neh and Jiaxin. All of us were late lol. BUT I didn't oversleep Shenn Tan :P Soon after DP joined us in our crapping and in the end, we didn't touch our notes. Next up would be Twilight with them I guess! Jacky hurry come back let's play :D
Today's hse comm dinner was postponed to tmrw's lunch last minute and I could go for training in the end. Did PT until 7.20 cos the pool was closed due to the rain. Then we did many many many many x 3142687091 sets of 15m sprints without breaks in between. Felt quite productive actually, and in fact I enjoy these kind of trainings more. Well at least there's more variety.
Still pondering over Mr Kwa's challenge. We get a Japan Arena swimsuit FOC provided we turn up for every single training unless a valid reason is provided. If I accept the swimsuit it'd mean much more commitment from now on, which is namely THE A Level year. I hope it doesn't include the running :/
I realised that I wasn't sick of school and studying, I was just sick of the mundanity. Need to find excitement in going to school for the next crucial year lol.
Anyway we're getting a company tshirt! Cool or what! I can't wait for JB! We're gonna perform/promote swaveboarding :D
It's not what good girls do
Not how they should behave
Celebrated Tan Weiting's birthday twice for her. First was with Streetwave! Well we closed the shop early to prepare for our ambush. Jiaxin, Evelyn, Huilin and I followed David to the function room in Bayshore Park to meet up with Sky, Alvin and Ken, while Darren and Felix drove Weiting there.
It was SUPPOSED to be a surprise party but she somehow guessed it. Threw a plate of whipped cream at Laopa and in the end I kena the most cream! Srsly watch out for backstabbers! I'm assuming it was Alvin and Felix lol!
Yup then after all the "Oh-my-God"ing from mainly the both of us it was cutting the cake and feasting, and then the very entertaining x2132534637 sharing session lol! Played Handiplast (honestly I thought that game was only within JJ) and it was really very entertaining. Was quite high cos I drank and my face was quite red cos we all kept laughing, they kept saying I was drunk I wasn't! Alvin still requested me to imitate Pikachu.
After awhile we cleaned up the place and went to Alvin's house. His mom is so cute luh! We watched a few Hard Gay videos and played with the merchandise and played Uno Stacko. And after awhile I left for home, thanks to THE Dad again :D
Left the house early today to go customise this steel pencil case for Laopa using the Vday photo (Yes the one that we all love) at Bugis, then went to meet them at Vivo. The rest agreed that it turned out to be quite nice :D Yup then we went to Earle Swensen's for lunch.
Took quite a long time to decide where to go next. Initial plan was to go Underwater World but then the entrance fee was quite ex. In the end we settled for River Taxi at Clarke Quay! Toured Liang Court and Clarke Quay for awhile before we bought our tickets and off we went! The night scenery was PRETTAYE :D The boat assistant was so nice volunteer to help us take photos and asked us to stand at the front of the boat lol! Took a one way trip to One Fullerton and we attempted to take photos of us drinking the water that the Merlion shot out. Damn spastic! Attendance today: Initially 6/8 then 5/8 but its okay! Next time (:
Gonna see Laopa again tmrw to go Queensway LOL. Buay sian one leh! :P Yup before that going to Shenn's house to watch Land Before Time 13 and maybe Mulan 2 then go return the discs. Oh yeah and my Mom doesn't object me from going to JB for work this weekend! Evelyn we are so gonna have fun shopping (and annoying Ken) :D Rahhh can't wait!
And I just can’t pull myself away
Reached home at VERY unearthly hours these few days. Many thanks to THE DAD for sending his spoilt daughter home :P
As mentioned, class outing was on Thursday at Sakura after handing in I&R, heading home and then back to the west again. Made 14 people wait for me la omg so paiseh. Didn't expect the bus journey to be sooooo long. Sorry guys!
Learnt from my previous mistake and chose all those non-starchy food and got to eat a wider variety of food this time round. Well we had lots of laughter esp with the "co-beef" which Anli made up cos of Jason's black-peppered beef in coffee story. Played zhong ji mi ma to see who has to do forfeit to eat the zhu congs (bamboo worms?) Yuck this is not Fear Factor leh! Plus Jinghui's plates of leftovers will mysteriously end up on our table. Tsk tsk so cunning!
Stood at the damn dark carpark and chatted abit with Yuen lao ban before the few of us decided to go play pool at Clementi Entertainment Centre. Played photo hunt for awhile and then proceeded to play pool. Anli Jason and I beat Yangzhi and Broderick :D Well we didn't play for very long cos if not the rest wouldn't be able to get home. More outings with BROWN BAGS coming up!
Went to rent DVDs at KAP with Shenn and Jacky today after that Leaders' meeting. Managed to borrow Land Before Time V and X, Anastasia, Spirit and something else I forgot. Went to da bao from the hawker centre near her house. Jacky and I ate the famous porridge while CHEN XIN the PIG ate spaghetti and taohuay with ginko nuts. YES SHENN TAN IS A GREEDY PIG. Jiaxin joined us slightly later. We (Shenn and I) started to do highlights on our hair with Jacky's Revlon hair dye. She looked damn funny with the aluminium foil on her head lol! Watched 2 movies and then had to leave for work!
Closed the shop early today and went down to Kallang Entertainment Centre to catch Madagascar 2 with Felix Darren Alvin David Ken and Evelyn. Went to the arcade before that cos we had lots of time to spare. Challenged Alvin Ken and Evelyn shooting hoops and I got SECOND okay not bad huh (: Played photo hunt again and stood a damn close chance to beating the high score. Oh oh I got to satisfy my Hainanese chicken rice craving today, Felix's treat! Thanks boss! :D And I tried on the Skorpions today. Nothing like rollerblading okay it's quite weirdly different. I'm gonna master that soon!
Every single day of next week is filled with activities too. Someone kindly please remind me when's the Physics R paper and force me to study for it yes? (:
Yaye alright its 3.45 and my eyelids are closing so I'm going to bed now. Dad's gonna bring me to eat the "world's best breakfast" tmrw before sending me to work. Aww so sweet right :D
50 planes! :D
So baby drive slow,
'Till we run outta road
In this one-horse town,
I wanna stay right here
Have been pretty much in my own world these few days, which explains my absence from blogging. Wei'en's birthday was a blast, had both lunch and dinner with them. Our favourite xiao long bao :P FINALLY met up with each and every one of you guys, FULL ATTENDANCE YAYE! Pics are with Sista, she'd better upload them soon or else... (;
OP's finally over! Actually I don't feel much about it? I think all these while I've been taking PW as a joke. I mean, yeah well I do put in alot of effort into it, still rmb the WR that took much pain to be produced.. but I think maybe it's cos I see how my other seniors put in so much effort and get so disappointed with their grades that I don't even expect to score in it.
Just glad that everything went smoothly for OP. Q&A was damn tyco, Mr Phang asked me the EXACT same question in our second rehearsal. Lucky or what? Now don't be jealous.
Class dinner tmrw at Sakura with Yuen lao ban. Made a huge hole in my pocket and not to mention my paycheck is still with Laopa. Well hope it'll be fun though. I think it's our first time having an outing.
To Shenn's house on Friday after the Leaders' meeting I guess. It's school for me almost everyday this week, travelling time really sucks I swear. Land before time! :D Call me childish or anything actually these few days I've been hooked onto Disney classics. My favourite is still Little Mermaid!
Thought through certain stuff and I've begun to give in. Not because I have given up, more of because I've understood where he's coming from and circumstances make it such that I have to dash all those hopes, all the hopes that should have died together with the decision to let go in the first place. For now I'm trying to face it positively by myself. Don't ever bring it up again.
