Just as I was mentioning about admiring the beauty of nature in my previous post, Hari Raya Haji presented to me a visit to HortPark!=) My maternal grandmother, my mom's siblings, one cousin, my sister, my parents and I went to Hortpark today to breathe in the scent of flowers, butterflies, insects and spiders=))
Bathed in the warm glow of the early morning sun, we strolled down a pavement lined with splashes of colour. It was flowers galore - the beauty of nature was simply breathtaking and dazzling!=)) You should have been there as well! There were odd looking flowers, dragon hedges, there were even hedges in the shape of merlions!
Much too soon, the caress of sunlight down our back soon gave way to a blistering hot wave of heat. With beads of perspiration rolling down our back and after giving the plants their much deserved praises and gasps of awe, we made our way back to the carpark and departed for a nearby food centre for a late breakfast=)
Pictures have been censored such as ones with people inside=D, but there are still many left=) enjoy!!
Pretty-looking odd flower=)
What a millipede!
Which curled up after my uncle went to touch it.
A pretty big flower!
And another!
Two lovey butterfliees=)
A statue! Admist...grass?
Star-shaped purple flowers!

hello!!!
I cut my thumb washing bottles yesterday=( I was trying to cut away this hard aluminium-like foil thingy at the mouth of the wine bottle and it cut me instead=(. Washing bottles IS a tiring and tedious job! Merv certainly wasn't exaggerating when he told me that. Well...at least I didn't had to do the thinner part. Sniffing thinner leads to brain damage aye?
Woohoo!! I can wear the earrings I bought at novena (mon? or tues?) later tonight! =)) I wonder how it'll look!!
For mrs cheng's bio project, giam and I have been working with a schoolmate called timothy from s36. There were other people, 3 others I think, genin, regine or regina (I forgot) and one other girl who went for work attachment already. They left halfway through the project, so only giam tim and I continued. The bacterial conjugation one is almost complete already, we'll be looking at the results on monday=). As for the one dealing with bacteriophages and bacteria cells, we've just placed the phage with the LB broth together yesterday. Results out on monday as well.
I'll be going over to gran's for lunch later!=)
This morning I awoke at 7, had my breakfast at 7.20 which comprised of a charsiew pau and a piece of peanut cookie. Then I rested for a while, did some stretching, moving about, then finished a book that I was almost done with...I got changed and went downstairs afterwards for a 20 min jog=) I saw birds and plants and flowers! and people walking their dogs and grandchildren=D and crickets and insects chirping all around. What a wonderful world God has bestowed on us, and yet, how many of us actually enjoy the gift before our eyes, or do we simply take nature for granted? When is it, do busy humans like us, pause for a moment and drink in the beauty of nature? sigh..
I went back home, showered, cut my nails, cleared my sister's leftover breakfast (kids never have a sense of responsibility), blow-dried my hair, poured a cup of blueberry tea, wondered what to do, turned on the com. =)
I feel that the world is evolving too fast. It's becoming too metallic for my taste. haha..It's funny somethings how people just pop into your thoughts=) I was thinking of the previous sentence and could as if hear this particular friend say something sarcastically funny like "wow. you TASTE the world?" anyway..
Birds chirping!! I hear it outside my window!=) Sad that it has to be covered and interrupted by the roar of vehicles like huge heavy trucks passing by on the roads. Such polluted air, poisoning the very ecosystem in which we thrive. Humans are multiplying so rapidly. Do we bring destruction to the Earth? I guess we do.
I've found an answer to my questions, at least to some of them. I was reading this book, "The Shack", that giam had loaned me. Somehow or another, I could only read one or at most two chapters at a time. Today, I got another chapter into my mind. Humans weren't brought into the world to rely on their own judgement of what's right and what's wrong. A daughter dying, getting into a car accident, and other events we consider as misfortunes can actually be good things, we just have to trust in the Lord and not try to decide by ourselves what we should do and what we should not do. I'm sorry that I've been ignorant for so long, thank Lord for opening my eyes to your word. This doesn't mean I don't have my own opinions anymore, but just that I shall pray for guidance and pray that the things I do are not misinterpreted.
Talk to me if you want to=)

hey hey!!
I bought new earrings today at novena!=D My first time there!!=))
I went to watch paranomal with giam claire joce jiaen alex binloh brandon and edwin today at cini's cathay. So boring! Not scary at all somemore=(( waste my $$.
Then we went to have dinner at this place at the basement and went home early=) I'll be going early to sch to wash bottles and complete my 4 hours from 8am onwards. Sighh...
Genting photos are all on fb!=D Lazy to put them here now.
Alright, I guess the genting trip really did make me a lil emo. I guess most things are fine now, at least, they are under control=) I shall be optimistic and stay happy even though it's a sad competitive I eat you you eat me world=((
I went for the ogl interview on monday and I really hope I passed the interview! well, mr kwei mightn't be pleased, but it's a once in a lifetime chance hoh. =) right?
Then my class and I went to east coast! Some of us had subway while others aka giam me wen hannah went to this hk express place a few metres away from subway. There was a singer and a guitar accompanist. The singer didn't know how to sing ANY of the songs we named. And to think he looks to be in his late twenties. He sings quite well for a cafe singer though=) hannah said she wanted to buy his album. We wrote a note to encourage him before we left. Haha. Like a bunch of lovesick girls la all of them. =DD
Afterwards, we proceeded to the beach and out came sparklers and light sticks!! Woohoo!!!
=D
There were explosive sparklers and quiet sparklers but OBVIOUSLY everyone wanted EXPLODABLE SPARKLERS!!! HEEHEE.. It was so so so so FUN!=)) Thanks merv for arranging the class outing! And ZF for the camera which died out near the end. I haven't played sparklers in decades lo and that night really brought back some of my really treasured childhood memories. Wasn't it better when everyone was naive, innocent and true to oneself? sighh..alright emoing again...back to class outing, wen giam and I spammed the light sticks lo. Haha. Giam went to wear light stick earrings and made halos for me and wen. I had three bracelets each on my arm too!! haha. The sticks are still glowing know! I put all in a big circle at hung it at the head of my bed last night when I reached home.
And when I was walking to the mrt just now after dinner, merv asked again if we are free next friday for class bbq!!! ahhhh!!! haha! Love you merv! Thanks for doing so much!=))))
Alright, a bit tired. Hair almost dry too. Hope I see positive results for ogl interview tmr! Go try on my new earrings liao. BYEEz!

So tired!! Have been catching up on the work I've missed from 16th to 20th nov in Genting.
"How was the trip?"
'Fun! But tiring." with a smile.
How untrue. Sigh. There are so many things on my mind now. Studies is almost the least of them.
Don't be affected by the emo post if you don't want to.
I really need someone to tell me how to be a nicer person, to be more humble, to be less arrogant and to be more christ-like. I feel so guilty about stuff, about putting my trust in the wrong person, causing misery to another. I feel so stupid and foolish for doing things that would have been better if I had not done it. I shouldn't have tried, but both sides are my friends..I don't know what to do..should I favour one side over the other..? I don't know what's right and what's wrong..it's so confusing!
I need some direction..oh my..i feel so fake. I'm this mean horrid person who puts on a false smile and be nice to people. AHHHHH!!!! Now I know why people cut themselves. Does it take away some of your pain? Does it?? ARGH!
Stupid stupid stupid me. I wish I know more things so I can do the right things. I wish I can know how to learn from my mistakes. I wish I can be a better friend. I wish I can...I don't know what I want to. Maybe it'll all be better if I just fade away into the background. Maybe I should learn how to love myself again..I should just disappear..
I don't know how to make interesting conversations, I don't know how to be jovial, I don't know how to care for people, I don't know how to be wholly self-sacrificing, I can't be the person I want myself to be. There's this bad side and good side and Satan wins most of the time. I feel so apologetic. I'm so sorry.
I wish I can go to sleep and never wake up. Or if I wake up I can start over again. argh.

The packing and tea party and the odd stuff here and there is giving me a headache.
I'm going to genting on Monday!
And I'm really worried about not being able to catch up on my studies after that.
I've been so careless recently. I just left a line of red on the inner side of my arm. And I didn't know what caused it=( I just felt pain.
So many many weird balls of wool in life. Or worse than that cos wool unravels. More of like tangled up strings of wool. argh.
I'm a super mean and horrible person. If you open up my heart you can see all the ugliness inside=( stupid stupid stupid me.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Messenger forced me to upgrade to a newer version that is making my com run super slow. Sigh..
Today, I had OP from 8am to 3.45pm. Was completely exhausted! Mentally!! I reached school at 7.30am then and left at around 4.10pm or so with jocelyn and robin loh to buy pyjamas=)) We didn't managed to buy any, though we did find some... The ones at the pasar malam looked weird whereas some in OG were....erm...unsuitable. So... I think we might get them through reference by jojo at Toa Payoh..
We ended up at bugis and had lunch at the foodcourt!=) I had some jap food and so did joce. The both robins went to eat something spicy that they couldn't stand. =.= Alex had beef noodles and singgih had roasted chicken rice or smth like that=) Singgih is such a nice person=))))
Then we went home early cos I have to do some memorising for Q&A as well as write out my script properly. We went off in pairs, joce and singgih went to take the bus, robin and alex went towards joo koon, doraemon and I then went towards pasir ris.
I will try to memorise some parts of the songs we were supposed to memorise by sat later.
So tired! Are you? I'm so envious of those who finished their OP today! Then they would have the whole weekend to themselves to do I&R and stuff that they want!=( Sigh. Nvm! Mine shall be over soon too! On monday!=D
Choir's at 9 tmr *bloodshot eyes...sigh
Will not be having prac with conductor mr kwei at siglap cos of PW OP Full Dress Rehearsal from 2 to 5.30. So long eh..but I think I'll be going over to my maternal gran's for dinner! Yay! Got soup to drink!!=)))
I'm feeling a little tired. I shall go pack my bag and yes remember to SET MY ALARM or go BANKRUPT. and finish all the little things before I sleep. oh yes...memorising and reading Q&As. Alright. Cya guys soon=)
(I found a wrong word when I was re-reading! See if you are clever enough to spot it. It's not grammar, not spelling, but it doesn't make sense logically. haha.)

heyo peeps!
I went to cut bangs! haha..it wasn't my original intention, I just wanted some fringe to prevent my hairline from receding, but the hairdresser mistook it as bangs...so well...it's a new look! haha..
I can't wait for the Genting trip! 16th nov to 20th nov!! haha. Though I shall probably be very bus-sick to and fro, up and down the winding path up when we arrive and depart. However, I believe that it shall all be worth it cos I'm be spending time with my lovely friends! =))
The first night's Christmas night! I want to do some props as a member of adhoc, so I shall probably ask the others soon about what we can do maybe this sat..otherwise a lil plain. We can do handmade stuff to be worn such as sewing felt together or red cloth or green stuff or something! I know there's no budget also la... but... I hope we can do something!
The second night's pyjamies night!!! haha...I'll need to go and buy pjs..and I think if there are no unforeseen circumstances that might hinder my intention to, I shall proceed to buy them on Friday with my friends ("family"?)
Choir's been alright, helping me not to slack. I think there has been too much free time recently, I don't even know how to spend it! I think I will go to Marine Parade Library today to try to borrow some books=) Otherwise I might just wither away...the days are a little boring, and I AM practising the piano everyday. Even so, I wouldn't be expected to practise all day long, that's a little too overboard for piano students like me=).
My crush with the person in bass is over. It lasted only 2 days. haha. So it was really just a sudden crush. But I will use this chance to lessen any misgivings/guilt/apologetic feelings you have towards me, it's alright really, I really wish there won't be awkwardness between us and we'll become really close friends=)) that's a wish only=). Maybe my liking another will make you realise that I've moved on, and so you can too. Don't think about the past and look to the future, right?=)
I'm meeting my group members in school at 1pm today for OP=) It's all going to end next monday!! Yay!!=))) No more PW for the rest of my liiiifffe=D
bye!
