Imagine 6 hours of sleep in 5 days. YES I SURVIVED THAT. NBS Camp was a total blast! KOSAC rocks!

Back with more updates after my CAC Camp. Stay tuned!

2009-06-26T16:29:00.013+08:00

The very fact that it has been ages since I last blogged gave me a little hindrance when I attempted to log in to blogger just now as I actually forgotten my password. -.- haha. And I reckon that many of you have already stopped visiting my site due to my persistant indolence to update my blog. Ok ok I know what to do.... *giving myself a tight slap on my face* Lol.

So here you go! Firstly I would say that the past 2 weeks have been marvelous! :D Not only did I managed to get my well-deserved sleep and rest, I had a great time meeting up with peeps and enjoying myself to the fullest. Yeah, workless life rocks! :D

Here's a quick overview of what I did:

13/06 (Sat)

Picnic at Chinese/Japanese Garden with py, kh, hq, pc. And as usual, py, hq and pc were late! -_- On the courtesy of the chips, pancakes, jellys that were brought, they were spared from the punishment from me and kh. *evil grins :P So basically, the 5 of us had a great time out there with the fishes, tortoises, flowers and sheepo (pc pet society's pet). And I think it's a great place to go dating next time. :) We saw couples taking their wedding photos there. Come on, where else can wedding photos be taken in the baby Spore beside the usual botanic garden. And we headed to Science Centre in the late evening and chilled out at mac. :D

Peiyi's lovely card for me! so sweet of her right? Thanks for the effort :D

14/06 (Sun)

A day at home doing housework. :)

15/06 (Mon)

Kbox with Rachel and Peiyu cus it was rachel's birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHUU! To cut the story short, Have our lunch at a Jap place and the 3 of us went on to sing our lungs out until we were dead tired at the end of the session. >,<

16/06 (Tue)

Tutee in the morning and then made a trip down to NTU (my future school, hee) to submit some documents. hem, it was my 14187873934897th time getting lost there and poor me and peiyu have to endure the >30 mins walk up the hill to make it to the Student Service Centre (when it's only a 5mins short walk from the bus stop) Nvm, good to explore the campus before school starts- only way to comfort myself.

17/06 (Wed)

Library session with py and rac (supposingly to increase our general knowledge). I borrowed 2 books- a Jap book and 'Vocabulary for the Dummies'. I find the latter book rather interesting as there are alot of English structures, patterns etc that I still don't know despite having studied EL for 15 years- yes, the right book for dummy like me -.- Before leaving, we went to the children's session to take some photos. Here's one of the few that we took. No you're not wrong, we are 19 years old adults. haha.

18/06 (Thu)

Lunched at Asian Kitchen, Shopping therapy @ Bugis. Stocking up clothes for uni! lala~

19/06 (Fri)

Michelle's farewell @ Sakura. Ronald picked me up and drove me there and the overly-suspicious me kept having the wild thought that he's going to sell me away. haha, apologies! So it was a time of gaining pounds again. lol.

20/06 (Sat)

Dental appointment in the morning and the dentist complimented on my straight set of clean teeth. heehee :D Less than 5 minutes of check up but it cost me $50! No wonder so many people dying to study dentistry. Met up with Shirley for shopping at Vivo. 50% sale for Mango. gosh, we heart Mango!

21/06 (Sun)

A simple Fathers' Day dinner. This year, I bought a yellow polo tee for my papa and my younger bro bought him a orangey red one. Glad it's of the right size because my younger bro bought him too small a size. Conclusion: Woman's sixth sense is always accurate. haha.

22/06 (Mon)

I missed out the feasting at jap marche but managed to meet up with the ladies for shopping at citylink, marina sq, suntec. And I broke caiyun's record on that day; bcus I didn't spend a single cent (except on drinks and food) Bravo!

23/06 (Tue)

Tutee in the morning and then went for facial to pamper myself. Hee. Though the extractions might get quite painful, it's still within my threshold level. :) If you're thinking that you or me are still too young to go for such treatments, just to share with you that the girl beside me was only 16 years old! It's always good to start early yea. Afterall, I believe in estee lauder's saying that 'there are no ugly woman, only lazy ones'. :)

24/06 (Wed)

Accompanied peiyu to cut her hair at fareast and then went to this sakura place at the 4th level (if I'm not wrong) for lunch. Food's there not too bad and the price there is pretty reasonable. It's our 2nd time there and we'll definitely patronise the restaurant again.

25/06 (Thu)

Went over to my uncle's house to play with my little cousin (OMG she's simply adorable!) as well as to coach my pri 1 cousin zhiyang. Went JP to look for my mum for dinner and I've made up my mind to get this incredibly beautiful laptop! $$$$$$

26/06 (Fri)- Today

Bro's gf came over to my house in the morning and he ponned school to go out with his gf! which explains why I get to use his laptop at this point of time.

Ok finally, a round of applause for I have finished updating. yeah!

On a final note, a list of upcomings:

29/06- medical checkup at ntu
03/07- collect cert at njc, Mingli's 18th Bd!

Oh yea! Some photos taken on Ronald's BDay celebration (Photos credit to weijie) :D

The below shots of me were just some out of the many taken by wj w/o my consent! 7/10 photos taken are on me. I'm going to sue him for that! HAHAHA!

2009-05-30T10:24:00.009+08:00

GOOD MORNING GUYS!

I’m back by popular demand! HAHAHA. (Smirking)

Apologies for the late updates. Reason being, number 1, I don’t have my own laptop yet. Note the underlined. I’ll be getting my own laptop ‘soon’ probably before uni commences which means I don’t have to plead with my bro to let me use his laptop ever again! HEHEHE. I want a RED lappy! :D :D :D

And number 2, on days when I’m working, the first thing that came to mind when I returned home is to do a quick bath, have a swift dinner, and head for my BEDBEDBED! Using the computer at work the whole day simply turns me off any electronic devises when I get home. Ok, call me pig but seriously, work is tiring and on weekends, I just feel like spending time alone, because I’ve been suffering from severe “my-own-time deficiency “ lately. Oh well, it’s another 2 more weeks at work and I’m free again. Time to do a wardrobe makeover and a little revamping of my room. Mum just promised me to bring me to ikea tomorrow to get me a book shelve, a studying lamp and studying chair. YEAH!

And yes, the spirit of Great Singapore Sale seems to be hovering around the atmosphere now. It’s the time of the year to get some really cheap deals and savings again. PEIYU, RACH LET’S GOOO! HAHHAHA. I’ve drafted out a list of to-buy things for this GSS and it amounted to approx $500! GOSH. PLEASE HOLD ME BACK.

As for my uni application, I’ve accepted the offer by ntu business and I’ll officially be an ntu undergraduate in 2 mths time. No more hesitation anymore. With NTU, I am engineered for success. HAHA, sounds familiar yea? And I’m so looking forward for all the camps coming up. I will most probably be going for their freshman orientation on 3rd aug, their sports camp, and biz camp in july. The rest I think I shall give it a miss because I will suffer from miss-my-bed sickness. :x I am glad to have 2 of my dearest friends -PEIYU and JUNE joining me and being my faculty mates. HEHE.

With regards to my 19th birthday this year, I would say that it’s awesome! Although the peeps whom I expected to celebrate with didn’t do so, leaving me with a tiny whiny tinge of disappointment, I got some really amazing people who dated me to throw me a mini surprise. Thanks so much for showering me with the gifts, treats, cards, and wishes!

Here’s a sneak appetizer for your viewing pleasure.

Dinner with ex-moe colleagues@ douby gaut mad jack and then headed to esplanade to chill out. It has been so longgg since I have had some good food. :)

Faizal is still as humorous as before and look at what he portrayed of me! It reads 'Be hydrate!' I swear I laugh till my ribs pain that day.

ohyes, thanks weijie for initiating the whole gathering. I’m glad that I’m still not forgotten despite having left moe for so long. Heh heh, great company!

And this my birthday present from them: GUESS wallet! -,-

weijie, faizal, ronald, jieshi, calvin, steven, jieshi's bf- THANK YOU!

And a few more past events that spell my month:

#1 Some crazy fun out with rac, py and army boy @ imm.
#2 Lunch treat from biaojie at bugis pasta mania.

#3 Ktv with kwan, val, nora, keelui, saecheong, pc at Chinatown.

#4 badminton with xinyu, chong, kwan with xueqi and joyce as spectators at jwsc

#5 Ntu biz high tea with kahhwee

#6 college day and pizza hut with amy, jennings, step and yuping

Many thanks to my family for celebrating with me the night. Though it’s just a simple dinner, it’s a relief from the purchase orders, payment receipts, accounts that I’ve read the whole day at work. And bro for buying me that BLACK FOREST CAKE- his gf’s fav. LOL.

我知道你们对我的爱不是用言语来表达的, 那是一种默默的包容，爱护和体谅. 你们让我意识到爱不需要任何的奢侈和伪装，它也能只是简简单单的一句祝福。谢谢你们！

More upcoming events !! Till then, take care! :D

I'm heading out to buy my hokkien mee for lunch now. heh heh.

On 12th may 1990, eve of mother's day, a baby girl named caiyun was brought to this beautiful world - to fufill her purpose on this earth, to bring abundant joy and love to the people around her. And now that she's transforming from a girl to a woman, she knows that the wrinkles and white hair are knocking on the door. SHOO SHOO! hahaha.

At this juncture of her life now, in a a 19 years old ~~girl~~ woman wishlist would definitely be... :D :D :D :D :D :D

The figures are daunting.

THE World Health Organization has raised its tally of confirmed human cases of swine flu to 615 from 365.

There have been 17 confirmed deaths.

The global body says 15 countries have now reported laboratory-confirmed cases.

Mexico has reported 397 cases and 16 deaths.

The United States has 141 cases and one death.

Canada has 34 cases, while Spain and Britain have 13 each.

New Zealand and Germany have four confirmed cases each, Israel has two, and Austria, Denmark, France, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, South Korea and Switzerland each have a case, according to the latest WHO figures on Saturday.

And now that the pandemic has hit Asia, I doubt I can ever get out of this red dot already. :( :( :(

It has been 5 months of post A'Level's activities, but I feel that I have so much and so much more that I want to do before school work starts rolling in again! While cramming hard for the A's last year, I came out with a list of post A's activities as a source of motivation but there's only 3 months left and I have only accomplished about 50% of the tasks. From travelling, picking up new skills eg baking & make-up, learning new language, getting my driving license, doing lots of sports, wardrobe makeover, doing voluntary work, reviving my bank account balance, dancing, to simply meeting up with friends and feeling loved. I recalled how this list of activities will parade through my mind while I am trying to remember all the organic compounds and their reactions, all the physics formula etc and I will get so excited over it that my friends will sometimes think I'm mad! haha :D

And while I am typing this, I just can't help to say that there are so much more that I want to accomplish in life before I die. And if tomorrow I were to be knocked down by a car (touch wood!), I would really die in regret because of my 19yrs of life, I can safely claim that 80% of it has been devoted to studies. I have yet to establish a career, find my love, travel around the world with him, get married, give birth, see my children grow up. haha, I think 我想太多了吧!(knocking myself on my head)

But sometimes I would really wish if I were....

- borned in a rich family that I can afford all the things in mind w/o having to worry about money
- as smart as saecheong that I don't have to study so much and yet do well for my studies
- to have the capability to set up my own shop
- pretty
- never to grow fat no matter how much I eat
- to marry to a prince (haha!)

不要再发白日梦了！

Happy Labour Day – though not really joyous for me this year simply because I’m still sick! I have been bumming around at home for the past 1 week, quarantining myself and diligently taking my medicine and yet the virus still refused to leave me! TELL ME HOW? But I made an exception ytd to go for my tutees because the girls are having their common test/midyr exam soon! I hope that I have prepared them well and that they will do well for their papers. And most importantly, I did not spread the virus to them! >.<

Sorry for this really random post, jumping my topics suddenly, just typing down whatever that came to my mind. haha.

And yes, I'm finally starting work tomorrow, albeit only until mid june. I will be a good girl and turn in early today because I have to wake up at 6.30am from now on! I wonder how I am going to pull myself out of my bed!

2009-04-29T17:38:00.004+08:00

So it's just throat infection.... And I will be on antibiotics for the next 5 days. I hate swallowing pills. eeerrks.

someone save me from the torment.... :(

2009-04-26T13:30:00.006+08:00

Went out with peiyu ytd! :) Wanted to go ppl's park COMPLEX for the asa travel fair and in the end we blunderingly walked into ppl's park CENTRE. That's the blind (me) leading the blind (her). Well, can't blame me too because I'm unfamiliar with Chinatown area. But eventually my agaration did bring us to our destination. yay. :D

Oh! I have something to share.You know on on our way from Chinatown to Bugis, we were stalked by this whimsically strange looking uncle! The thought of it now is already giving me goosebumps. :/ He trailed us all the way from the NEL to the point when we board the mrt. Here's how the story goes....

We were making our mrt transfer when I noticed this guy keeping in close proximity with us behind our back and his uncanny eyes that never took a sight off us! Luckily I was alert enough at that point of time so I immediately whispered to peiyu to ask her to pace up. And we walk-run for like 100m, in an attempt to distance away from this dangerous man, and the moment I turned back again, my heart almost dropped out! Guess what? His face was just right behind me! Very obvious, he was stalking us! And I hold peiyu's hand as we started running like never before. Imagine us running in the mrt linkway! How embarrassing. But safety was our prime consideration then.

And finally, like what seems like an eternity, he's out of sight! Relieved, we made our way to the far end of the train which was less crowded but the next thing I saw when we entered the train was him again staring right into my eyes from the glass panel. FREAKING SCARY K?! I'm so glad the door closed in time before he managed to get inside the train or you will probably see me running from the 1st cabin to the last this time round.

If anyone managed to see this suspicious man, please kindly call the police immediately.

Suspect:
- 35-45 yrs old Chinese Man
- last appeared at Outram Park mrt linkway from NEL to EWL on 25Apr at around 4.30pm
- in Plain RED T-shirt, dark coloured long pants, flip-flop slippers
- bian tai look
- bizarre behaviour

Thanks alot for saving all the girls out there. LOL.

2009-04-22T12:01:00.006+08:00

Potential bowler in-the-making.. :)

Focus.

Roll.

and smile :)

my beloved cousin and me :)

I woke up at 12pm today. Feeling sinful after devouring that ice cream yesterday, I decided to head down to the gym for a run! Really enjoyed the adrenaline rush after exercising. I feel good! :D But I noticed the disappearance of the weighing scale at the gym, so I didn't get a chance to weigh myself. My sixth sense is telling me that I've grown fatter from staying at home and sleeping like a pig all day. Oh well, nevermind, as long as I stay healthy, the weight doesn't really matter right? Time to start exercising my discipline to maintain a healthy lifestyle, i.e eat in moderation and exercise regularly. :)

The weather's slizzing hot these few days! The sun seems to be throwing tantrum at the earth. Signs of global warming. Despite blasting my fan at full speed, the heat is still rising. I can't stand it! I shall consider migrating to the library or starbucks for free aircon as I read Jodi Picoult's my sister's keeper, the straits times and times magazine. kahhwee and kwan are both down with sickness. Drink lots of water and get soon yea! :)

Anyway people, if you happen to be cracking your brains over my birthday present, just a reminder that I do not need any expensive gifts. Really. Most of you are just students who are as broke as me so every cent would make up a huge proportion of your income. Don't want yall to be spurging on things that would incur huge opportunity costs and end up eating maggie mee for the next few days. So please be good boys and girls k? Spend your money wisely and help your parents save money. :)

The strange thing is that every year, without fail, I will receive 2 things for my birthday- waterbottles and earrings! I've a collection of adidas, nike, billabong, ripcurl, converse waterbottles already (and some are still brand new hiding in some corner of my cabinet collecting dust) so please do not buy me anymore waterbottles for me! although it is a fact that i love to drink, i've only 1 mouth! hahaha. And also, in case some of you are unaware, i've sensitive ears so i'm very selective over the earrings that i'm wearing, only genuine silver or gold, so please don't buy me anymore earrings k? It will just add on to my collection of unworn earrings for ornamentation purpose. A simple card, sincere hug, earnest handshake, heartfelt well wishes would make my day and make me smile. :D

And i'm already extremely grateful that this year, my birthday wouldn't be crashing with any exams. Seriously from primary sch, 12th may has always happened to be some exam date, be it mid yr exam, common test, or study day etc. And the result? birthday equals cramming day at home. sad life. hoping for sth different this year... 2009!

Jap exam on 8th may. I need to go for my jap lesson now. my eyes are clamming shut already but sensei promised to give us lots of hints for the exam. :D i shall sleep on the bus then.

Gambatte kudasai caiyun! Hai, gambarimasu! Wosh!

2009-04-17T11:01:00.009+08:00

I GOT INTO NTU BUSINESS!! :D :D :D

and SMU Business and NUS Science (all my number 1 choices) =D

At least my effort in selling and promoting myself in front of the profs didn't go down the drain. Grinning with satisfaction. :D

Anyone got called up for Nanyang Scholarship interview? Or has the selection process already ended? I've submitted my application quite some time ago but still have yet to receive any news. :/ My GP grade is my greatest regret of my life man.

I should start thinking of alternative route to fund my uni education. Not that I've completely given up hope on obtaining a scholarship, but I know that if I were a scholarship board panel member, I wouldn't want to invest my money on someone who couldn't even do well for GP even though how many As she has achieved. It would most probably indicate that she can't write well, communicate effectively, and think analytically. Still, I do hope that they take into account the non-academic aspects of me and my overall being. Pinning on the small ray of hope and staying optimistic. :)

Nevertheless, I realised I'm eligible for majority of the study loans, bursary etc. But application for all these only starts in June? Even though my mum has agreed to let me use her CPF balance to fund my tuition fees, I just don't want to be reliant on her anymore. And my living expenses for uni is giving me a terrible headache. I think it's a process of moulding me to become independent.

Meanwhile, I'm keeping my hp fully charged these couple of days so that I wouldn't miss out any important calls.

Let's hope everything falls in place. FIGHTING! :)

On a lighter note, next tuesday is Ben and Jerry's FREE CONE DAY! With an insatiable penchant for ice creams, you wouldn't be surprised to spot me queuing up at vivo/raffles place sc for the irresistable food on earth. But I have a potential 2 months job offer starting next tuesday too. Let's see whether the person gets back to me this time round.

Patience.

2009-04-07T17:12:00.003+08:00

yes, grant me a globe-trotting career that can relish my jet-setting lifestyle next time.

2009-04-05T17:09:00.003+08:00

I'm addicted to this korean drama- boys before flowers !!!

captivating, mesmerising, fascinating. :) :) :)

watch it and you'll know. :D

2009-04-01T14:38:00.005+08:00

I have an abhorrent pimple on my face and here I am waiting for my brother to deliver home my KFC meal. well done caiyun.

And it's 2.53pm now btw. and I'm going to take my brunch. Woke up just 3 hrs ago. I used to sleep at 10pm and wake up at 7am one you know!

My body system has gone haywire totally.

Time to get a structured job to revert back my system.

2009-03-29T12:56:00.005+08:00

Look at my innovative creation on the wall of my room!! :D

Totally spice up the otherwise plain wall. Nice right? (say yes) :p

spot YOUR face up there. haha.

And it's my pooh with my new specs!! :D so uber cute! kiss kiss. :p

Ice-cream at only $3.80 at jp!! yummy yum! :p

smu interview this coming tue (31mar !!) at some weird timing of 6.15pm? heard from jieshi that there's 2 components to the interview. Read an article first and then the prof will open the floor for discussion and debate. Then it's essay writing -_- i think my brain has already turned rusty after the alvls finale. wonder what time will the whole thing end. But first, I hope I can figure my way to the building since my sense of direction is really lousy.

ntu interview next next wed (8 mar !!) at 2.20pm. I hope they don't ask me too many current affairs like 'tell me about the current subcrime crisis?' 'what do you think of soverign wealth funds?' etc.

Be confident, keep my cool and eveything's going to be fine. Just be myself. :)

remember caiyun: YOU ARE OUT THERE TO IMPRESS.

2009-03-25T14:51:00.004+08:00

Hi world, I'm back to blogging. :) I guess it doesn't really matter since very few people actually know about the existence of this blog, in other words, read it regularly. To those who are reading what I'm writing at this point of time, yes it's YOU, allow me to give you a hug! :D thanks so much for patronising this site despite my irregular and mundane updates. :P I would make it a point to sustain the vibrancy of this blog yea. Hee :D

Hmm, it's coming to one month of jobless yet carefree lifestyle. I have lost count of what day is it everyday because everday seems the same for me now. Going to bed past midnight, waking up in the noon, doing my laundry, gobbling down food, trying hard to resist the temptation of my bed in the afternoon, reading, art & crafts, surfing the net, watching tv, and the meet-ups with friends/cousins/guitar-mates... that basically spells my month... to those out there slogging hard for work, I know you are jealous. hahaha. From another viewpoint, no work = no income = no shopping. :( on the contrary, staying at home = no pricey transport fee = maggie mee for lunch = save money. :) what an irony.

Anyway, I have made my uni applications.
NTU
Choice 1: Business and Accountancy
Choice 2: Business
Choice 3: Accountancy
Choice 4: Mathematics and Economics
Choice 5: Mathematical Sciences

NUS
Choice 1: Science
Choice 2: Business Administration
Choice 3: Business Administration (Accountancy)
Choice 4: Arts and Social Sciences
Choice 5: Environmental Engineering
Choice 6: Chemical Engineering
Choice 7: Project & Facilities Management
Choice 8: Industrial Design

SMU
Choice 1: Business
Choice 2: Accountancy
Choice 3: Economics
Choice 4: Social Sciences
Choice 5: Information Systems

Ultimately, I still hope that I can get into NTU business with Nanyang Scholarship. I think I'm just putting the rest for fun, optimising the use of all choices to utilise my $35 application fee fully. Lol.

I really miss the sun and the sea..

As you walk on the shore....
You see the sky red as the sun sits on the water
wondering how beautiful each day is

You feel the sand filling the gaps between your toes
as your hands and hearts intertwined with his

You hear the soothing sounds of the waves
blowing away all your worries and unhappiness

You smell the saltiness of the sea water
refreshing your tired minds

You feel the warmth of the guy next to you
nestling next to you, whispering I love you.

how sweet.

Okay I think I shall do a proper update. Sorry for the wait peeps!

I swear my heart popped out while queuing up for the results and I had to swallow it back so hard. Never felt such an extreme degree of anxiety before. :/ Yeah and so it's straight As! and wedged in that row of As was one ugly D.... yup and it's none other than GP. -_- well, kind of expected la but didn't expect the grade to stay stagnant from prelims. I thought I can at least improve by a grade but I was feeling contented already. Afterall, GP is not NJ's niche area and majority of my friends did not do well for GP also... So well....

haha. some random msn crap extracted from Mr Yong's email to us. He praised us! That's like once in a blue moon kind of affair.

I'm so proud of saecheong and yunhao who made it to the 7 distinctions hall of fame!

I'm so proud of the girls for we worked hard together and reaped what we sowed!

I'm so proud to be part of o7s02! An amazing class. :)

Anyway, went for Singapore Tourism Board Tea session with Nora yesterday. It was really informative but yet interactive as we get the opportunity to mingle and talk to the scholars. I feel so priviledged to be invited by nora! thanks girl! Took a photo with her at the tourism court before we head to fareast for some random shopping before I fly off for jap class. Spot the merlion behind us. ROAR! :D

At the crossroad of my life now, I'm kind of clueless about where I should be heading to. I detest the idea of getting a scholarship just because of the money or just for the glamour and glitz and end up glued to something I have no interest in for the next 8-10 years down the road (4yrs studying 4-6 yrs bond). Actually, I am uncertain whether I'm cut to be a scholar because I don't want to end up paying back my scholarship board vast sums of money just because my GPA cannot make it pass the 3.5 mark. But then again, I want to be mature and independent as to lighten the financial burden to my parents. Leaving it all to God for I'm sure He has the best plan installed for me. :)

Life is always full of decisions to make and I do appreciate the fact that I'm jobless now, that I have the luxury of time to settle down and think through thoroughly what I really want in life. I don't want to end up making any hasty decision that will make me regret for life. More importantly, I can take a break from the hastle and bustle of city life and recharge before entering the next phase of my life. Excited! :)

On a random note, I seriously think Singapore is such a beautiful city!

Loves!

Thank God! :)

Term 1 week 8!

23feb Mon- attended my first jap lesson :D late for 20 whole minutes due to horrible time estimation again. Was too engrossed with the birthday presents for the feb babies.... haha. Oh did I mention... my teacher is a shuai ge from SIM leh! So I will get to see him twice per week now. don't jealous girls.. ahahahhaa.

Embarked on Hiragana writing and we have to write 习字 just like in primary sch. kind of interesting. time to practise my handwriting also. Hee. :)

25feb Wed- went to watch the movie look for a star at vivo. Basically a light-hearted love story suitable for all ages. A pretty nice movie to catch especially for couples I would say.

幸福是要争取的.

And I saw the most beautiful rainbow till far! Can really see the distinct 7 colours and I'm so fascinated when I saw it la! Should have made a wish at that point of time! rahhhh. I want to get at least a C for GP. *cross fingers*

The real one is actually so much nicer than the photo above but I guess I'm a bad photographer. :/ You should have just seen it! Ok I know you might be thinking I'm a noob right now... what's so nice about rainbows right? But don't you think it's so rare to see rainbows in singapore. ok fine.

28feb sat- last second day of work at Just.

I want to make a confession. I lost my discipline and I gobbled down one food after another on the day:

breakfast- cereal milk, biscuits, mr bean soya milk, a big apple and curry puff (bought by seokhui for me)

break- biscuits biscuits and lots of biscuits from the pantry!

lunch- 2 big slices of pizza and potato wedges :D

break- biscuits biscuits and lots of biscuits from the pantry!

dinner- spicy cha shu ramen from ajisen + side dish + drinks

supper- 6 flavours ice-cream combo, bubble tea

And I ate the whole box of chocolate biscuits at 12am the night before.

Calculate the amount of calories and my coarse/sexy voice due to excessive dose of chocolates these days.

So I Went lot one with colleagues after work. and I didn't know that lot one has renovated and become more classy now. But still, jurong point is still the ultimate winner.

I finished the whole bowl of spicy ramen by MYSELF! Impressive. Seems really spicy but it's actually not so. sh tried it and she was like screaming 'omgg so hot! ahhhhhhh....' but I think it's still ok. I don't know why for some reasons when I'm feeling down I will always crave for spicy and hot food. :/

Just colleagues :)

it was xinxian's last day and my second last.

sh and me in the toliet! we were wearing similar skirts on that day and everyone was like saying we look alike. But then she's wearing a 3 inch heels but I'm wearing flats! Spot the difference. :p

2 of my students wrote me this... which made my heart melts.... :/ click on it to have a larger view of what they wrote. everything is worth it.

sh's love letter to me. page 1-2 of 4. touched*

Memories of Just.

The nets machine.

The system which is always down during peak hours.

Good afternoon, Just education jurong east, how may I help you?

sh busy at work.

Okay, finally I'm out of job and free! I shall be resting at home meanwhile while I wait in anticipation for my alevels results this friday. gosh, this is freaking scary... I really want to do well and get into the course that I like but I know clearly that I screwed up many of the papers especially econs and gp! ahhh, I hate to face the truth but then again I don't want to be kept in suspense. No more sleepless nights these few days please.

If I do really well/ miracle happens, I will party and celebrate for at least a week then I might try applying for SIA scholarship which has been my dream employer all these while. :)

If I do averagely well, I will still be thankful and go celebrate with so2 girls after collection of results. Then I might go for the nanyang scholarship. :/

If I do badly, I will just go home and sleep or head to the beach to screammmm my lungs out. :(

So its the open houses and the scholarship interviews to attend for the next couple of weeks.... meanwhile I shall just relax and not muse over it since nothing can change the fact now.

Praying hard.

2009-02-22T21:35:00.005+08:00

Definitely one of my happiest day yesterday ever since work starts.

Pictures tell all! :D

A giganormous hug to

kwan for organising the outing and lending me her sunblock (though i'm sunblock-resistant);

nora for cycling at the same pace with me, sharing the cup of yogurt with me and helping me to apply sunblock on my back;

joyce for journeying home with me cus I have to leave early for tuition;

chong for never failing to make me laugh with her funny poses;

xq for sharing with me her fasciniating job experience.

I love you friends! <3

And I'm deeply sorry for being late ppl cus I overslept! I reached home at 11plus the night b4 from work. hahaha. :p

then in the end I'm the one paying 31 cents for my bus ride (due to transfer rebate) and the rest have to pay 71cents. that goes to show how long they've waited for me. opps :x

2009-02-19T09:51:00.009+08:00

It was baoxian's birthday celebration cum get-together dinner with my sec sch clique yesterday. :) great and quality time spent chilling out with them and catching up. Would love to have more of such gatherings in the future. So book me now on mon and wed cus they're my off days! *While stocks last* haha.

Anyway, I was actually the main organiser of the bd surprise celebration but the whole thing did not turn out well mainly because

number 1. I'm very disorganised when it comes to planning.

number 2. I'm not good at telling lies, ppl can easily see through me.

number 3. I failed to forsee the problems that might crop up along the way.

number 4. The waitress betrayed us :(

I was supposed to meet up with bx alone and put in the picture that the rest cannot make it because of this and that reason... I can't remember what I said but it must be some lousy reasons so I presume she has already started to be skeptical towards me, as in how can it be such a coincidence that EVERYONE cannot make it.

Subsequently, I went roaming around jp with her in the attempt to drag time and I was really awful at it because I went from lvl 1 to lvl 2 and back to lvl 1where the restaurant is. Predictably, she wasn'y exactly shocked when she see the rest seated waiting for her at the restaurant. -_-

Worse still, after we finished our food, the waitress came along to our table and asked 'So when do you guys want to cut the cake huh?' (in chinese) *faints* no surprise anymore :(

Anyway have a really hard time trying to light up the candles and keeping alive the fire on all candles. 19 yrs old = 10 candles. Come to imagine it.. by the time we're 99yrs old, we've to light up 18 candles. Incredible.

Last but not least.. drumrolls... photos taken.. :)

Group photo :D

my fav cake from four leaves. superb for choco lovers like me . heavenly. ^^

beautifully wrapped in this nice box. :)

Happy birthday to you....... lala la la la la..

she's asking us to sing softer. lol.

haha. unglam. :p

That's the 4 of us sitting on the confortable sofa. >.<

My food: cheese baked spaghetti with ketchup fish fillet!

happy birthday girl :)

me and rac! she's looking away again. -.-

This is a more ancient photos taken during cny. camerawoman = mum so she's not inside the photo. Anyway, I think just have to imagine an older version of me. I hope my description helps. heehee.

Till then.

2009-02-18T09:04:00.003+08:00

Approximately 13 days to the release of

GCE A Level Results. Brilliant.

2009-02-15T19:44:00.002+08:00

I am depressed.

I hv got lots of thoughts running thru my mind now.

I want sleep desperately.

I am physically drained by my work.

I sleep at 12am every ~~night~~ morning now.

I want back my weekends.

I have my blood boiling at 100 degree Celsius by my students.

I have never faced such a naughty class before.

I am contemplating over my life again.

I lost 2kg recently.

I am disappointed over someone.

I am fearful of all the uncertainties staging ahead.

I am bothered.

I don’t feel like talking to anyone now.

This post is specially dedicated to LIM KAH HWEE a.k.a limkah on the 10 feb 09.

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY BABE!

Know you since J1 and can you still reminisce those days when we first met? You are like so quiet and whenever I attempt to break a conversation with you, you'll just answer me back with one or two words. Made me feel super duper awkward. :/ But as time goes by... you began to open up and I realised that you may seem very quiet on the outside but deep inside, you can talk a lot (and I really mean ALOT) and get super high at times (esp when it comes to teasing me hor... any tinge of regret and guiltyness? Still not late to plead forgiveness from me. hahahahaa)

Whatever the case, we have all successfully pulled through the exhausting and brain-draining alevels curriculum together. Hee. :D Thanks a great deal for enduring the 2 years with me girl :) . We've been through the orientation, watched numerous movies, stayed overnight during chalet, mugged in the library, ran 8-10 rounds for every PE lesson, finished projects, went plaza sing (always) for lunch, went shopping TOGETHER. Now that we are both engaged with our work, there is really so little opportunity to meet up but nevertheless know that ultimately you will be there for me. Sounds mushy ah, but i mean it and treasure you so much as a friend! :)

The photo above was actually taken while we were still 17 and somemore in our secondary sch uniform. -_- Now that you have grown prettier and (hopefully) more mature... any thoughts and thanksgiving to air? 1 more year to the BIG 2... bu ren lao ye bu xing le ah. hope that you will find your mr right soon kay (actually yh also not bad ah.... can consider. :P hahahaha. don't kill me.)

Hmm.. Still remember last year your lovely clique actually went all the way to your house to give you a surprise bd celebration? Then we were like trying to light up the candles outside your house and your neighbours gave us the weird look as if we want to set their house on fire -_- hahaha, super funny. So sorry I'm afraid this year we wouldn't be able to meet up to celebrate your birthday on the actual day itself. Nonetheless, you are not forgotten!! I actually stayed up last night/this morning to send you the happy birthday msg leh! touched? need tissues or even a pail to collect your tears? Looking forward to meet you for sentosa outing and dinner yea :)

Last but not least, I am urging you to eat more and put on more weight cus you are so skinny la.. You look so fragile can.. like those type that will be blown away with just a gust of wind. haha kidding.

Have a lovely 19th birthday and stay happieee! :) :)

Hi Dears!!!

Here I am blogging on a bright Saturday afternoon when I'm supposed to be working! Reason being... I'm having such excruciating m______ pain that I felt for a moment that I’m dying. LOL. Thankfully under the grace of my in charge I was granted to go home and rest although according to the laws and regulations of Just we can only apply leave at least 2 weeks in advance. And I’m finally in a good state now after a dose of panadols and a good sleep! Yaye! Thank you panadol and my bed!

Alright, let me recapitulate my week. :)

Mon- off day! Can’t really rmb what I did. But I guess should be in the line of sleeping the whole day. Hehee.

Tue- training at HQ.

Wed- Off day!
Morning- mopped the floor, wash the fans, wash my clothes/bedsheets, decorate house, cook lunch..
Afternoon- went fareast with huiqi. And we did express manicure and pedicure at cinderalla. So now my nails are RED in colour. Haha. Didn’t stay long cus she has to go for her jap class.

Fyi I’m starting my jap lessons at a jap sch in Alexandra. :) :) Details: every mon and wed nights. $190 for 20 lessons (40hrs), inclusive of textbooks and materials. Super worth it right? I did a round of research beforehand. And I’m one step closer to realising my dream… =D

Thu- Just.

Fri- Just.

Sat- Just for 2 hrs then came home.

So tmr is new yr eve. Finally can get to sit down with my family to indulge in a proper meal. It has been so long since I have had a nice dinner with them because of work and the busy schedule of my brothers (to be exact it’s busy dating). Haha. And I guess it would be many meals of steamboat and ba gua, chocolates, peanuts, wang wang, love letter (and the list goes on..) for the next couple of days.

Alright, I gtg and prepare my tuition stuff for lesson later. Actually called to cancel it but since I’m feeling better and there’s a lot for me to go through today I shall just go for it. Afterall, 2hrs of tuition = my whole day’s pay. Lol.

Byeeee ppl! Happy cny and get lots of angbaos! :)

灰姑娘

聽見別人提起你的名字我就會臉紅
一張有你合照的照片看來看去都不厭倦
坐在寂寞了很久的窗前不停地想念
從沒有對誰的支字片語可以讀了好几百遍

像童話中的世界如今出現在真實人生的眼前
再苦悶的時刻也有彩虹哪怕只是輕靠你的肩
像傳說中的愛情如今出現在真實人生的眼前
當你擁抱著我輕輕地對我說你會愛我到永遠

我就像Cinderella 等到了尋找我的他
愛情的過程總會有淚有掙扎
有你的溫柔我就什么都的不怕
我就像Cinderella 等到了尋找我的他
等待你是我付出最甜蜜的代價
快樂的Cinderella 真愛得到了回答

2009-01-19T22:13:00.005+08:00

What a nice photo :)

Despite my hectic work schedule, I promise I will try maintain the liveliness of this blog. Well... I have practically slept the whole day today. And there's a day training on customer svc, education and personal grooming tmr. Get to attend make up lesson for free and get paid normally for attending the training. Hee.

And I'm off for 4 days on cny! hooray! I cant wait to see my cousins again and all the lip-smacking food.... hoho.

That's all for now.

first update

2009-01-10T22:10:00.005+08:00

Hello. If you are having the illusion that you are dreaming because you’re seeing a post dated 2009 on caiyun’s decaying blog, I shall affirm you that you are not… haha. Well, it has been a really long time (at least half a year?) since I enter blogger.com mainly because of that dreadful a’levels which simply robs me of all my time. Now that it’s all labelled as past tense and I have the luxury of time I shall hereby declare the grand opening of my blog! YEAHHH!

Today marks the 10th day of 2009. Well I would just say that my year has been pretty good so far. Have been working in moe for the past 1mth plus and mon would be my last day of work there. I’m starting work in Just Education from Tuesday onwards, hopefully till when I enter the uni… I would say that this job would be much more challenging and rewarding than my previous job and I guess this is the primary reason why I'm job hopping. :)

According to what the interviewer has described… my job scope would include customer service, reviewing teaching materials, giving consultation to the weaker students and relief teaching (in which there is additional allowance for that). At the very least I get to interact with people/kids and activate my brain juices which certainly confer more satisfaction as compared to the mundane admin duties at moe. But then again, I think I will really miss the bunch of people at moe cus they are really nice people! All of them are like my big gorgor and jiejie who really takes care of little girl like me! And I’m going to miss the buona vista market/coffee shop food- cheap and yummy and my weekend.

The sad thing is that my new job requires me to work on both weekends and put on make up and wear formal wear and blazer which probably will make me look 10 years older. In any case there is no perfect job and I guess I just have to make a little sacrifice here and there. And coincidentally andrea is working as the same position as me except that we're in different branch which means i have a friend to accompany me on my off-days on weekdays and to share my woes and experience with. :)

On another note, I hope to be able to save up enough money at least to foot my expenses in my uni life but this is simply an impossible task cus I’ve to admit I am the sort of girl who earns $1000 and spends $1100. Lol. Really have to quit this habit of squandering my money away without any tinge of thought cus the economy is at its dip but then ironically, shouldn’t we as consumers spend more to induce the economy to recover? Haha, excuses.

Okay, I shall end here cus it's getting late and I'm trying to adjust my body alarm clock to fit my new job.

Oh and lastly, to the 12jan babies (huiqi and my bro)… HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D
