rest in peacei didnt know who she is. and i think many of us wouldnt have if not for the Mumbai terrorist bombings that took place a few days ago. Lo Hwei Yan, a 28 year-old lawyer who was took hostage by the terrorists in the Oberoi-Trident hotel in Mumbai, India.
when i first knew of a Singaporean being captured by the terrorists in Mumbai, i was quite naive and didnt realise the severity of the situation. i thought to myself, a few days after and she will be out.
it didnt occur to me that not everyone has a heart of gold. at least the ones who captured-and finally killed her- didnt. so what if she leaves her mum and dad, her sister, and her husband of one-year behind?
Singaporeans all over the country expressed shock, anger and sadness over the incident. i've to say, what a weird way to unite us together. and may it be a valuable lesson for us to pick up and learn quickly before something worse hits us -and not just one Singaporean- really hard.

tired tired tired. nope it's not because i slept at 5am the day before class outing LIKE SOMEBODY:) shopping kills the life out of ah ma! i thought great, after buying
that dress i can stop having to buy clothes for awhile. then my mum dragged me to buy clothes. that was ok, i thought it was for her. can give some opinions. but in the end it turned out to be for
me.
argh life's so contradicting. think about it: you get a job to earn some extra money, instead you dont get much at all because before that you paid to buy clothes for the job!
so damn tired that i cant blog about the class outing now. apologies. never mind since i havent got the photos yet. but it was fun!
managed to take one photo from shum's blog for starters:)
granddaughter and ah ma!

i truly am trying to help my mum out these few days. but i feel as if i'm not doing much. like washing clothes for example. i wanted to use hands to wash you know so that my mum doesnt strain hers so much. instead she asked me to press the buttons on the washing machine. ON, POWER, 5, 2, 7, 35 mins. duhh. i feel like i'm the character in this moral story: this guy who aspired to be an artist and had to practise drawing eggs a million times before he gets to draw some real stuff. like me. doing the so-called 'easy' things first before moving on to the 'real' ones.
2:56 PM
went to far east with sarah and kath yest noon. or should i say, far east was our starting point. instead, we end up walking down the street of orchard road from far east, to lido, to wisma, through taka, to heeren, then to centrepoint for dinner and finally me and kath walked to the cathay to look at Gramophone's clearance sale. actually it was more of walking zig-zag rather than down the street if you know the location of the different buildings.
and i finally FINALLY bought my dress. it's black-i cant imagine myself in any other colour-and it's 60 bucks. i seriously think it's super duper ex; was hoping to find something less than 50, maybe 30 even. and i'm not a big fan and spender on clothes. so i stopped buying anything for prom. anyway i already have earrings and shoes at home. so
省省省ba! and the dress is sleeveless... ah ma's going hip! but there's no cleavage la(as if i've any) i guess i'm still not ready to say "cheers to the cleavage"!! :)
i've never like shopping for clothes. so dont ask me how i end up walking and shopping
that long. but sarah and kath shopped super fast. anyway i think shopping for cds and vcds are still more fun than shopping for clothes. how can i resist when there are vcds that cost $3 in front of me? but i only bought one since i wanted to save money after
that dress. lucky i didnt see any cheap jay chou cds around. not that i need to buy them. in fact i think i would be rather angry if they sell it cheap! kath and i were laughing about the fate of boyband energy's albums which cost rather little. aha bit mean but...
yea! class outing tmr. i hope a full 21 class will go for the first time. häagen-dazs ice-cream!
i watched barney just now. recollecting my childhood memories. i got very excited during the ads when i saw the one for digimon. i love digimon! i used to cry during the last episode when the digimons leave their owners. my mum said 'wouldnt it be weird for you to watch digimon now'. no i dont think it would; even adults like to experience again what they did during their childhood days sometime, what more us?

after stopping my habit to change emails, i guess i'm turning to changing blogskins instead:)
i think i'm a bit lag though. it's already two days after a levels before i start to blog. but not without reason. shum and kath came to my house after bio mcq on thurs and we went to kath's house after that. shum was curious about how we dry our clothes-*looks at shum-i think she's glad that she doesnt have to try that. met yoyo for the first time and my little neighbour downstairs. yoyo grabbed my fingers! hah kath was very delighted to see them. you should just move to my house:)
watched secret and leap years at kath's. thank goodness the characters got together in the end. dont think i can stand sad endings now. and kath made agar! nice job kath.
oh yah just remembered that the exams are over. i think it's been so long waiting for it to be over that hardly of us feel very overjoyed. my mind's numbed about it. anyway, still want to thank anyone and everyone who have helped me and us the j2s prepare for this. i think you guys know who you are. so, no names shall be mentioned. and thank-you:)
and a new song from mayday! actually it's been released for a few weeks but i just got the album today. 你不是真正的快乐 composed and written by ashin. it's not a sad song if you look at the lyrics carefully:
人 群中 哭著 你只想變成透明的顏色 你再也不會夢 或痛 或心動了 你已經決定了 你已經決定了 你 靜靜 忍著 緊緊把昨天在拳心握著 而回憶越是甜 就是 越傷人了 越是在 手心留下 密密麻麻 深深淺淺 的刀割 你不是真正的快樂 你的笑只是你穿的保護色 你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了 把你的靈魂關在永遠鎖上的軀殼 這 世界 笑了 於是妳合群的一起笑了 當生存是規則 不是 你的選擇 於是妳 含著眼淚 飄飄盪盪 跌跌撞撞 的走著 你不是真正的快樂 你的笑只是你穿的保護色 你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了 把你的靈魂關在永遠鎖上的軀殼 你不是真正的快樂 你的傷從不肯完全的癒合 我站在你左側 卻像隔著銀河 難道就真的抱著遺憾一直到老了 然後才後悔著 你值得真正的快樂 你應該脫下你穿的保護色 為什麼失去了 還要被懲罰呢 能不能就讓 悲傷全部 結束在此刻 重新開始活著
yea going shopping on mon with sarah and kath!

one piece of very sound advice to those who are taking exams now and in the future: DONT EAT AYAM PENYET(not sure if i spell it correctly)/ INDONESIAN FRIED CHICKEN during exam period.
CONSEQUENCES: wobbly legs, sore throat that results in having to keep your voice low, followed by few days of flu, then dry cough again.
one good thing out of it: qiuhui says my voice become
超man :)
additional consequence: not enough stamina for k
歌-ing in the afternoon! sang only 5 songs before i ran out of breath:(

two more days.

rest in peace
