Prior to lunar new year, Committee outing a.k.a celebrating for Vivien and Dong Qiang's birthday at Holland Village that friday.. after which, we went queensway to buy some stuff.. haha!!
Let this picture do the talking!! and it's "stolen" from Rainee's Lj.......
On the Sat, we had camp Kaiser in school!! anyway I didnt have any group to lead cos I was in charge of games together with Jonas.. haha.. it's bad yo! I rather lead a group!! haha.. no pictures but really glad that everyone enjoyed because little preparation was done for this camp.. about 2 to 3 meeting about this and ta da, it's camp!! This is only the start for the preparation for FOC.. many more to come!!
Followed by reunion dinner and CNY!! To me, CNY= Food, Angpows, updates on families and more food!! haha.. and the best part, after the first few days of CNY, i stopped coughing so much!! though i ate quite alot.. haha!!
well, now i really need to buck up and start studying cos I dun really have any idea what the topics are for all the modules.. On the other hand, I'm thinking of investing on a printer at home.. If anyone knows any printer that is cheap, pls let me know!!!
Here is the Surprise celebration for both Vivien and Dong Qiang on Sunday!!
The day started off early in the morning, We went to OLPS chruch to collect the cheque.. Waited for an hour for the person to pass us the cheque.. Haha!
All of us left in separate ways after that.. Went home to take a nap!! Haha!
About in the afternoon, Shiuan Shiuan went to meet Vivien for shopping but they did not shop alot!! haha.. cos when they felt like going to Far East, I have already met Dong Qiang to shop for our CNY and we were heading to far east.. We planned this to meet them first and I must say there was a little luck in it because Dong Qiang actually had something on.. but becos he needed to do CNY shopping and so we met..
In fact the entire day, Shiuan Shiuan and I messaged each other about our whereabouts.. and their code names were hilarious.. Vivien's code was "Ugly pig" and Dong Qiang's code was "Big pervert".. haha.. When we were messaging at a point in time, Dong Qiang was trying pants, So i messaged Shiuan Shiuan" Big pervert trying his pants".. haha!! Shiuan wanted to burst out laughing but at least she tolerated it.. wahaha! okok.. and to cut things short, I brought Big pervert and Shiuan Shiuan brought Ugly pig to S'pore flyer's seafood paradise for dinner!!
During Dinner, we told them that that's it for our surprise!! But actually we had another surprise.. Shiuan Shiuan said that she needed to meet her friend .. haha..she really make it seem that she is meeting her friend to the extent that I thought she is "really" meeting her friend.. haha!! Then she actually went to buy 2 slice of cake while the rest of us went to the merlion to chill, waiting for her.. Somehow, our surprise-from-behind failed so I had to bluff them that Shiuan Shiuan sprain her ankle while walking to us.. I was trying hard not to laugh while running to Shiuan Shiuan.. and then the 2nd surprise!!
Last but not least, Happy birthday and may all your wishes come true!! haha!
Oh yea, and the day cannot end with wanting to throw Shiuan Shiuan and Vivien into the S'pore river!!
We tried carrying Vivien but ltr gave up for......
Happy Birthday Vivien!!! Hope you like the surprise!!
Wil update food chain and the surprise celebration when I received the photos from Vivien!! She is busy going out and all.. haha!!
Today marks the end of the interview-ing session for camp.. I didn't know it'll be so tiring, leaving school late means reaching home late.. haha!! Interviewing people is quite fun and interesting but at times, can be boring.. haha!! Laugh quite alot in the room.. Overall, manage to see the different type of people going for this camp.. very interesting actually.. Well, now for the bad side..
Can someone enlighten me as to how can someone have the cheek to pick up a phone call or msg during the interview with 9 pairs of eyes at you?! I totally have no idea how can that happen.. It didn't happen on 1 person coming for the interview only..My phone was on the table during the interview and it suddenly vibrated, I apologised for that and did not even look at the msg.. and you are the person coming for an interview.. Where is the respect for those sitting in front of you? Seriously, this is basic respect.. If you think it's informal, it's perfectly fine.. but picking up the phone call to say a sentence when you are speaking during the interview is unacceptable at all.. For goodness sake, learn some manners.. When we interview you, we are not your friends during that interview.. It really make me wonder how you were brought up.. Oh well, my impression of these ppl is not bad yet but I guess it's a matter of time.. we will see how it goes..
Anyway will update tmr or sth again when I get the photos!! It will be a photo post next, I hope..haha!!
It's been a while since this flag-pole-ing thing happened in my class for all the birthday dudes.. and always behind those scene(s) is the birthday boy today.. It was torturing for him for about 2 to 3 hours.. He even couldn't finish his plate of rice which to him is not enough for a lunch.. I promise is such a pleasure see-ing him in pain.. Revenge is sweet, Chee Tong.. Balloons starting the ball rolling of his birthday celebration, bomb bags to create sparks, spray ribbons to dirty him and of cos flag-pole-ing for closing ceremony.. He is afraid of balloons cos he said is like a bomb, he claims..
Please Enjoy!
Lastly, Happy Birthday and may all your wishes come true!!
There was only one thing that filled my mind on my way home and it's food!! Had only 2 chicken pie in the afternoon and I survived till 11pm for dinner.. haha..
It all started on mon when Joanne msged me to be the emcee with her.. she told me that SOE-MDE singing competition rehearsal was very dry and she needed help.. actually I was quite reluctant about it, speaking in front of about 200 ppl is not a joke at all.. moreover, there wasn't time for me to prepare at all.. so i decided to help her to brain storm of how-not-to make-the competition-dry.. and had very little sleep that night..
The next day, I told her my plans and how to make it more entertaining and stuff like that.. and when I found out that I couldn't shift my dental appointment on wed, I really didn't want to be the emcee..
I was being extremely fickle minded.. In fact, I never been so fickle minded before about deciding something.. Then today, my throat was very painful and I called her in the morning and told her, I dun think I can be the emcee with you.. could hear that she sounded really sad after that ar.. so after class, I called her to meet her and discuss..
Fast-forward
She followed me to my dentist so to bring me back to school! Then, I didnt really have a choice already.. haha! After dentist, I felt nervous about it and the script was not ready at all and that was 3 hrs before the performance.. So When we reached school, we started preparing and practicing it.. Not enough time=STRESS! so choing all the way till the competition started.. so basically, everything was last minute.. Alot of impromtu and last min decision..
I'm glad that we manage to entertain the 200 people there with all the stuff and it was really a good experience.. Received many comments both good and bad.. For the negative part, it was draggy and we didnt really focus on every contestant.. which I felt so too.. of cos, I'm sure there are more negative comments about it.. but when there are bad, there are also good comments.. The comment that I'm damn happy is that a contestant came up to me and said "you don't look like a penguin!! you dun look like one" and i said yea, i agree with you.. haha.. it's worth being happy over it.. Lecturers give comments "Wow! great! it couldn't be better" and "both of you are really good emcees and there is a good chemistry between both of you".. haha.. yes, i think its the suan-ing part.. last but not least, this comment"It's the best among those I've attended in SOE"..
As for the contestants, I guess after this kind of competition, there will be controversy.. everyone who performed are already winners, to be selected from the audition is something really to be proud of.. and to those who will be representing MDE in SOE level, all the best and do mde proud!!
All in all, it was a good experience and also I had fun with it.. Most importantly, I hope la.. hope only, whatever happened inside stay there!! haha.. the best is to forget.. wahaha..
I've caculated the no. of hours I have missed out on lessons last week, and it sum up to 13 hours.. That's alot of hours for a week, probably record breaking in my school life in NP.. haha.. I hope it won't happen again and most importantly, I cannot afford to.. If not, I might get de-barred from exams.. 4 more weeks, one month more.. need to start bucking up!!
I realised,many people around me are also facing the same problems as I am.. Being stress!! Main problem: So many to do, so little time!! haha! anyway just Jiayou!! Everything will eventually be on the right path.. we will all get through this stressful period together!!
I won't deny that I'm feeling stress!! This seriously suck as compared to my "take-it-easy" attitude.. This "take-it-easy" attitude is slowly leaving me already.. Everything around me is just increasing the tension.. One main worry now is my studies.. It sucks like hell..
I felt staying home is much better than going to school where so many work are awaiting.. This is what I call avoiding the problem and it's only temporary.. I still have to do all the work eventually.. and who knows? I will turn out to be a much better person who can take stress in his stride!! haha!!
Being confident is good, but being over confident will cause you problems.. I'm facing these problems now and it kind of suck..
When you know just by taking one more step, you will fall off the hill.. Will you take that step? Blame me for being stupid, cos I took it, knowing that the end result will be like as expected.. But I know there wasn't a choice for me, is either do or die and of cos I did it.. and the end result is as expected which is not positive..
Oh well, it's my fault but I'm not gonna let it pull me down.. or I should say"I'm not that easily pulled down"..
You need to know what is bad before knowing what is good..
Treasure your time here on earth because you might not know when it will be taken away.. At times, not even with short notice.. This blog, http://shandysim.blogspot.com/ is a blog you should read and realise how a girl, so young can be so courageous, optimistic and have her fighting spirit till her very last breath..
If she can be so positive and have a burning flame with her, no one else should feel negative for death is something, in this world that you can never control..
She had gained many peoples' respect including mine.. Dying with the highest respect is everything u can asked for..
I'm preparing for very hectic weeks ahead of me!! haha.. what a way to start my year?! but dun have a choice either simply because there are too much work for me to do.. and my studies is just pathetic.. haha.. exams are really soon once school reopen for 2nd term..
On a higher note, new year's eve and new yr day was relaxing!! Initally, we wanted to get a chalet over at east coast park but we were a little too late and it was taken up.. so we change our plan to get a hotel over in town.. and we went to The Gallery hotel.. haha..it's a designer's hotel so it's unique as compared to other hotel and the price is reasonable enough.. so when we have already checked in the hotel, we play games and watch abit of t.v before going out near clare quey to buy dinner and snacks for the nite.. we carry on walking and walking and walking till city hall area.. haha.. by the time we reached the place to eat, our appetite wasn't there anymore.. haha.. then we bought snacks n got back to the hotel.. we went to explore the hotel, finding a gd spot to see the fire works and ta-da we saw the roof top.. so when mid-nite was approaching, we count-down in our room and ran all to the roof top to see the fire works display!! haha.. this time round, we didnt need to squeeze at esplande just to see the fireworks.. and we were all alone at the roof top..haha..
then back to our room to carry on with all the planned games.. haha.. slept for a while and in the morning went to chill at the pool.. and after that we checked out and headed home!! haha.. very tired when I reached home, so slept for quite long.. and I need to prove to people tomorrow that I will be on time for lunch and meeting tomorrow!! hopefully I can do that!! haha.. if not, there goes my ears again!!
