As the day progressed, BOTH my eyes got smaller and smaller, and both my eyes are now swollen.. with the eyelids puffy and red.. it's soooooo itchy but i've to refrain from touching my eyelids.  It got so bad, that my mum came to pick me from work in the afternoon, to go to the doctor.  Doc says it's an allergy.. to wad, i'm not sure.  Now both my eyes are half the usual size, and my field of vision is my eye level and below. i can't open my eyes big enough to see more than that, and it's really extremely uncomfortable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;doc gave me an mc for tmr, so i dun have to go to work. *hee*.. he says i shouldn't stare at too much bright light or the com too much..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;please do pray for me, that the swell, redness and itch wld all go away... thankies!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-111037283296930970?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/111037283296930970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/111037283296930970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2005/03/for-those-who-are-intending-to-catch.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-111017457886341337</id><published>2005-03-07T13:39:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-03-07T13:49:38.866+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;The A level results day was a major disaster. I've never cried so much in my entire life. Cried for 3 days over my results. When i got my results, i jsut broke down and started crying, cried on the phone while telling my mum my results too.  That very night, i cried myself to sleep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;Saturday morning was lynn's surprise birthday party.  Was a lil hesitant as to whether or not i should go for lynn's party, but decided to go instead of cooping myself at home, and thinking of silly thoughts.  The party was pretty alright, took my mind off certain things for that day.  I enjoyed the outdoor service, and playing table tennis with alvin, jon and sop.. hahaha... the ferry ride back to the main island was hilarious, cos we were on the 2nd deck, while OTHERS were on the bottom deck.  Those who were there will noe who the OTHERS were.. lol..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;then walking out the the ferry terminal, this truckful of 'IMA' workers drove past us... and changyuh and marcus went and shouted "BYE" to them. MY GOODNESS&gt;. it was hilarious, cos the ima pple started waving and saying bye too.. hahahahahaha... dinner at harbourfront was an enjoyable one..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;sunday's service was really good.. i enjoyed listening to the speaker.. i was hoping she'd pray for others besides pple who needed healing.. but she din.  Lunched with the zgmights at marina square.... before we all went to suntec.  Joy, sop and i went to the career fair to get brochures before meeting up with the rest of the zgmights again.  It was fun hanging out with them.. i laughed so much on sunday that i think it can make up for the time i've cried in the past few days.. heh... really enjoyed their company on sunday...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-111017457886341337?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/111017457886341337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/111017457886341337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2005/03/a-level-results-day-was-major-disaster.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110967171305791874</id><published>2005-03-01T18:06:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-03-01T18:08:33.056+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;OH my goodness.. the A level results are gonna be released THIS FRIDAY AT 2.30PM!!

It's the first time i get to wake up so late anyway.. every wkday morning, i've to wake up at 7 for work.. then the past few sats, i've to wake up at 8 plus, cos there's tambourine practice. Sundays, alarm at 7am. So today was the only sat i cld wake up late. Went to church for youth com meeting. It was enjoyable as usual.. loads of funny stuff we tokked bout. Seminar at 3pm. It was quite alright.. easy to understand, and not boring. So i'd say it was good. Youth service had the usual pple again today. Played human tic tac toe today, and it was ..well... violent!! hahaha.. but somehow i feel, the more violent certain games are, they tend to bring more fun.. hahahaha...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6666cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6666cc;"&gt;Mich brought dunkin donuts all the way back from BANGKOK!!! woohoo.. they sure looked yummy.. but i din eat the mini ones, cos there was custard in them.

So much so that i've nothing to blog about.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;Sunday:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;Went for first service with my sis, jared, and faith.  I was pretty distracted during worship cos i was really scared to go up to share my testimony after worship.  I mean, i'd be pretty scared already just sharing during second service, and i had to share testimony in the first service!!  yea.. so i couldn't really concentrate.  But the most amazing thing was, halfway during worship, in between two songs, Rachel read a passage from the bible... she read Psalms 27.. i can't rem if she read the whole chapter.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;"The Lord is my light and my salvation; of whom shall i fear? When the wicked come against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell. Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear;though war may rise against me, In this i will be confident"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;It totally hit me.  While singing during worship, i prayed that the Lord might speak to me, take away my fear, and speak through me.  And i just teared when rachel read from the bible.  God spoke, and i knew that fair well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110718573634088313?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110718573634088313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110718573634088313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2005/01/everythings-pretty-mundane-these-days.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110658234678297216</id><published>2005-01-24T23:46:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-01-25T00:11:26.480+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Today's one exciting day for me.. hahaha.. guess wad happened during work?

But yesterday, there was a period of the day which was quite bad.  I was supposed to send up this package of application forms to the cashier upstairs.. and they were supposed to pass it to the courier.. that was to be done by 10am in the morning...  BUT.. i totally forgot bout it!! I only realised it during lunch.. and i told my friend.. and she was like.. OMG... cos the courier supposedly only comes like once a wk? or is it a day? i can't remember..  lunch was horrible yesterday, cos i was super duper stressed.. and worried bout the application forms.. it's like a weekly assignment thing.. and i forgot.  Lunch was quiet cos i din even feel like tokking..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;but thank God when we sent the package of forms up to the other department upstairs after lunch ,they managed to send it out to the other company by 4.30pm.. amazing.. i was like praying so hard during lunch, that the courier wld not have come yet!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;Today was really cool cos one of the ladies in the office today received a bouquet of sunflowers from a mystery person!! it was delivered by the florist.  So funny.. cos all the marketing pple were like coming up with "suspects".. as in who wld have been the mystery person.. that poor girl was soooo embarassed.. cos it wasn't her boyfriend who sent it.. hee.. and the rest were all teasing her.. sayin it could be a stalker.. but it was really really funny.. but how sweet.. imagine receiving a bouquet of flowers while in office working... lol...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110554147219239308?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110554147219239308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110554147219239308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2005/01/past-2-days-of-work-have-been-great-i.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110527755859233546</id><published>2005-01-09T21:17:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-01-10T00:12:32.210+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;the past few days have been pretty great.. cept for the fact that i missed out on "THE GIFT"!! =(.. wad a bummer.. i was totally looking forward to THAT.. *hee*..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;anyways, the past few days have been pretty peachy... work's pretty alright.. workload is manageable.. though i dun get paid very much, i'm not overworked too.. so it's good. On friday, it was the last day for 2 of the interns from NUS... so the marketing department had some farewell lunch with them.. and they all came back from lunch late.. sheiting, amanda and i went to sakae sushi at harbour front for lunch.. it was yummilicious!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Couldn't make it for THE GIFT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Sat:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Woke up pretty late.. and ended up being late for the youth meeting.. VERY late.. but it was really interesting.. pretty fun too.. left halfway, towards the end of the meeting to get my new spectacles.. On the way back to church after collecting my specs, i cabbed back. And the cab driver was preaching to me bout God in CHINESE!!! and he started quoting verses in chinese!! oh man.. i cldn't really understand wad he was saying cos it seriously was pretty cheem! i just merely agreed with evrything he said...nodding my head evry now and then. The only thing i caught was when i was about to alight from the cab, and he said in chinese " God Bless you.. i'll be praying for u.." and he was really nice. He charged me cheaper for the cab fare. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Youth service was great. I really enjoyed it. The game was very fun, even though i din participate in the game. Totally enjoyed myself watching them play, and laughing at them!! The forfeit was really funny too!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Dinner after that was fab. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Reached home, washed up, then went online.

Evrything's alright so far.  One of the girls in the sales department is my sch mate, noe her from drama, yup.. so at least i noe someone. Got to noe this other girl called amanda, from vjc. She's pretty nice too.  First day of work yesterday was pretty relaxed.  I din really have much to do.. haha.. but it's really cool for the fact that i have my personal name tag and staff pass.  So with my staff pass, i get discount when i eat lunch ANYWHERE in sentosa!! cool eh? haha.. Well, let' s see.. i've my own table and com... and that's pretty much bout it.  Today was basically a whole day of data entry for the sentosa islander membership.

I folded a total of 100 letters today, all the exact same size, and put them in the sentosa envelopes, to be sent out tmr.  We still gotta do the same for those members who renewed their membership.. but that will be for tmr..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;hmmm.. i never thot i'd be saying this, but i miss school.. work's not as stressful as sch, but i come home so tired evry night..

Oh how i miss acjc!! i miss my jc1 days, esp the first 3 months when i had my orientation fun.. and my own mass dance.. i missed sch days in the first 3 months when we all had our diff sch uniforms, yet were so united as a class!! we had soooo many class parties.. practically like one evry two wks!! i miss the beginning of jc2, when i was an ogl, leading a grp of j1s in their orientation, teaching them THEIR mass dance, and still having so much fun on my own.. ah, those are the days.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;it's like in the blink of an eye, and i'm working already.. no more sch uniforms nor sch shoes.. wad a bummer..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110484580327016676?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110484580327016676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110484580327016676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2005/01/todays-my-2nd-day-of-work.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110459022186902203</id><published>2005-01-01T22:24:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-01-02T00:06:49.833+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;first and foremost, HAPPY NEW YR to everyone! I had an absolutely great beginning to this yr. Started off with watchnight service. There were great testimonies, and i went forward to be prayed for. We prayed for the tsunami victims, as well as for relief. The whole service sort of offcially ended at like 12.40am., which COINCIDENTALLY is the time of departure for the last train from paya lebar, towards boon lay. There was no way we could get to my hse, all six of us, by public transport. But thank God for Sis Lena and Sharon, who gave me, marcus and changyuh a lift to my hse, while lynn's dad gave joy, sop and grace a lift to my hse also. We reached almost the same time lah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we arrived, we dropped our stuff off, and played with sparklers and those spray can - streamers at the playground. The 6 of us used a total of 12 boxes of sparklers, each containing 10 sparkler sticks, and 2 cans of spray streamers. After that, we went into the hse, watched 50 first dates, while snacking. Oh man, my 2nd most fav part of the night was when we all went online, to satisfy our curiosity bout a &lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;certain someone&lt;/span&gt;.. hahahahahaha... it was super funny... we talked loads of crap, after which we all layed matresses, and prepared our resting areas.. it was really funny cos we all lay on our beds at like 4 plus am, but &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;me, sop and joy&lt;/span&gt; continued tokking bout loads of stuff.. and somehow, the guys also heard our whole conversation.. we eventually all fell asleep at 5 am in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I woke up at 9am, washed up and went downstairs. Chang yuh and marcus woke up soon after. Followed by grace. So the 4 of us then played daidee. We eventually woke joy and sop up at 10am. Then we all went downstairs for breakfast. Mummy bought prata for us!! hee..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watched Along came Polly, after breakfast, before we decided to play cards. Soon, evryone started comin.. lunch was pretty good.

Yup, came back from sydney last night, at bout 12am..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;overall, i'd say the trip was pretty alright. We went on a tour, but there was quite a lot of free time here and there.. which was good, so we din have to like rush here and there. hmm, actually, come to think of it, i found the trip pretty boring. hahaha.. i din really like the pple in the group, though there were 3 other pple who were the same age as me, one girl, and 2 guys. I tokked to the girl a bit.. the 2 guys were.. erm.. i've got absolutely no comments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;anyway, i only enjoyed TWO days of the trip. hee.. one was when we travelled all the way from sydney to port stephens. And we went on board this boat, 3 decks.. and travelled far out into the sea to see dolphins.. ooohhhhh... there were so many dolphins, and the dolphins even swam near our boat.. they're gorgeous i tell u.. lovely. Had lunch on the boat after that. Following the dolphin thing, we travelled bout 1 hr to some sand safari place! OH MY GOODNESS!! THIS is the peak man!!! This place was just a vast area of sand everywhere.. sort of like a desert, u look around u, and u just see sand everywhere.. no trees no nothing.. so we were quad biking.. it was super duper fun!! hiyah.. but the guide din let me ride the quad bike alone, he rode with me. The quad bikes are sort of like some scooter thing.. MUCH bigger though.. and with four wheels.. actually, sort of like a mini tractor cum scooter.. ya noe like those u see on tv, where they ride really fast through mud paths? up and down slopes? yup. those kind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;there were some male and female instructors, and they rode with all the teens and kids.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;1st part:&lt;/span&gt; initially a particular uniformed guide sat in front of me to control the whole quad bike, cos the guides had to bring us and the quad bikes UP the pretty steep sand hill first. i saw the previous few guides bring the other pple up, and the pple behind merely grabbed on to some handle located at the back of the quad bikes. So when my turn came, after i got onto the quad bike behind the instructor, i held on to the handles behind me.. but he was like, " u wanna grab on to me?" so i did.. haha.. and thank God i did... he rode super duper fast, and i was ultra scared man!! think my heart almost jumped out man!! hahaha yup... but he brought me safely to the top where the rest were..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;2nd part:&lt;/span&gt; the top part of the sand dunes had fairly gentler grounds.. as in, in terms of slope intensity. we were made to ride the quad bikes ourselves, pracising the "go" and "stop" aka the accelerators and brakes. Then we took off on our journey. This is where another non uniformed instructor came to sit behind me, as a pillion rider. He controlled the foot brake, while i controlled the accelerators at the handbars!! It was uber fun! ya see, there was a head instructor leading the whole "pack" of quad bikes. And we're just supposed to travel in the tracks left in the sand, by the quad bike in front of ours, keeping a dist of at least 10 m between our quad bike, and the one in front of ours. But my instructor was really cool, my quad bike was initially one of the last in line, so he controlled my accelerator too, and &lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;manouvered OUT of the tracks at like TOP SPEED&lt;/span&gt; down really steep sand slopes!! oooohhhh... i absolutely enjoyed it man!! and he brought me to the front of the line.. hahaha.. he's cool man.. at least he was the &lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;best looking&lt;/span&gt; instructor among all..he had his shades on, and had a nice piercing on his left ear.. hee.. thank goodness he came to sit on MY quad bike.. cos the rest of the instructors made whoever was on their quad bike go really slowly.. hahaha... he even shook my hand at the end of the ride!!! *grinZ*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;3rd part:&lt;/span&gt; we rode an amazingly long distance, up and down slopes.. and eventually, we came to the seas.. it was a terrific sight!! there was nothing but fine, clean sand everywhere.. and then there was this border where the seas met the sands.. and there were huge waves crashing down.. huge enough waves for surfing!! it was beautiful.. i took a picture of the scene.. will post the pics up once it gets developed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;4th part:&lt;/span&gt; rode further on, and stopped at this part of the sand dunes where the instructors dug a hole in the sand, pretty deep in where there was water.. and we were all forced to drink the water!! they say it's natural spring water from the ground. though it was slightly murkish, it tastes exactly like mineral water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Finally reached the middle of the sand dunes, where there was this really steep slope. There, we did sandboarding. It was fun too. But i hated the part where i had to carry my sand board, and walk UP the sand hill.. The winds were really strong, and i could feel the sand hitting on my legs and my face. We even had to wear eye goggles to protect sand from flying into our eyes. I tried to resist talking as much as i could to prevent myself from eating sand.. haha.. ya noe.. the flying sand.. yup.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;After sandboarding, we took the 4wd back to our origin. It sure was a fun day, but we were all tremendously burnt. My whole back was red. It was soooo painful and itchy the next day, that i could hardly sleep. When i slept, i stayed in the same position the WHOLE NIGHT. Couldn't bear to turn cos of the pain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;hmmm.. come to think of it, actually i wouldn't ming having my wedding there in the sand dunes.. hahahaha... quad biking with my husband along the sand-sea border.. with the winds blowing and the waves crashing.. beauuuuuuuuuuuuutiFUL... =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;alright, enough of one day. the other day i enjoyed was when we were taken to this shopping mall called " factory outlet". It's this huge shopping mall where ALL the shops inside were of well known brands, but were all direct factory outlet shops.. so all the clothes were selling at much lower prices!! how cool was that?!! i literally shopped till i dropped man!! hahaha..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;the seafood there in sydney is yummylicious!! soooooo fresh!! We had seafood at one of the restaurants near darling harbour(by the way, when i say seafood, i only refer to lobsters and crabs.. cos these are the only two types of seafood i eat.. i don't really eat prawns.. only some kinds)... and we ordered this seafood platter.. it was supposed to be for two persons..&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;but it turned out to be this "3-storey" platter!! but it sure was ultra delicious.. and the pple there were all already having christmas dinners everywhere!! everyone's all decked out in their lovely "gown-like" dresses when they go for dinners and parties.. and you can see the pubs all along darling harbour all closed for private functions.. and u see a whole pub full of pple in lovely dresses and suits, drinking and chatting... i love looking at their clothes man.. really nice.. haha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;So, overall i'd consider this trip to be..well.. fairly peachy. Despite that, i missed out on quite a lot of outings/gatherings the zgmights had... heard they all had loads&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;of fun... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110355442370561781?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110355442370561781'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110355442370561781'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/12/im-back.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110296152350279236</id><published>2004-12-14T02:12:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-12-14T02:12:03.503+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/206/1734/640/uberture.jpg'&gt;&lt;img border='0' style='border:1px solid #000000; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/206/1734/320/uberture.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a little snapshot from prom at ritZ&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href='http://www.hello.com/' target='ext'&gt;&lt;img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbh.gif' alt='Posted by Hello' border='0' style='border:0px;padding:0px;background:transparent;' align='absmiddle'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110296152350279236?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110296152350279236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110296152350279236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/12/little-snapshot-from-prom-at-ritz.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110295494276242957</id><published>2004-12-14T01:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-12-14T00:22:22.763+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://jeqin.mypicgallery.com/youthneoprints/scan0001_large.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"meteor garden" pose..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://jeqin.mypicgallery.com/youthneoprints/scan-3_large.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;us--&gt; take 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://jeqin.mypicgallery.com/youthneoprints/scan-2_large.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;us--&gt;take 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110295494276242957?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110295494276242957'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110295494276242957'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/12/meteor-garden-pose.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110295247497604545</id><published>2004-12-13T23:17:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-12-14T00:02:28.116+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I'm getting sooo lazy to blog these days! Anyway, the wk sure has passed really quickly, and i thot i'd just leave one last entry before i leave for sydney tmr evening.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;Saturday&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We finally had a youth outing!! hahaha.. the guys were supposed to plan some youth service or some youth thing.. but obviously it never happened.. hahaha... When some of us came back from the mission trip last fri, we were all pretty enthusiastic bout having some youth dinner or sth like that.. hee.. but then again, it never happened. So on the recent friday, geri and joy, the main organisers, planned a dinner. We, &lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;chris, geri, lynn, joy, sop and i&lt;/span&gt; met for dinner at bugis. How successful eh? This just goes to show that girls have a better ability to plan and organise stuff. yup. anyway, budget was the only restriction. So dinner was at Mos Burger. But we crossed over to swensens for ice cream after dinner. haha.. talk about being on a budget. Everything was good. Headed for the once popular "sport", NEOPRINT TAKING!! hahaha.. i'd say, it's truely a "sport" man!! We took a total of 21 shots!!! hee.. changing positions evry now and then, but everything turned out a-okie!! perfect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;sunday&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;we finally resumed sunday sch, and it was the same bunch of us again, those who went for dinner. hmmm.. the topic was pretty interesting. Sis chiew kwan discussed with us the topic on "love and dating". how apt. hahahaha... After sunday sch and service, wenshan, joy, sop and i went to the taikeng area to distribute tracts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;thereafter, the four of us headed to AUPE for lunch. hmmm, after abstaining from the sambal fried rice for a period of time, it sure tasted yummylicious! and i personally feel that they have finally mastered the art of cooking fast. Waiting time wasn't all that long anymore.. or perhaps it was just good company.. haha.. after lunch, wenshan, sop and i went to suntec for some shopping!! ooohhh.. it was good! got a new top from topshop. Shan and i travelled to the airport later in the evening to go meet the rest and to pick up the mission team 2 pple.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;wow, it was good seeing all of them back safe and sound, and in one piece. hahaha.. had dinner with all the youths, and shared experiences on both trips. It was good fun and fellowship i'd say.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;alrightey, i better get back to some last min packing of my stuff before i leave tmr.. will see evryone when i get back on the 19th... =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110295247497604545?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110295247497604545'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110295247497604545'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/12/im-getting-sooo-lazy-to-blog-these.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110270129526786948</id><published>2004-12-11T01:54:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-12-11T01:58:24.706+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/206/1734/640/CIMG0319.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/206/1734/320/CIMG0319.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;post prom party.. all changed into jeans.. outside zouk &lt;a href="http://www.hello.com/" target="ext"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" alt="Posted by Hello" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbh.gif" align="absMiddle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110270129526786948?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110270129526786948'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110270129526786948'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/12/post-prom-party.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110251254451901476</id><published>2004-12-08T21:05:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-12-08T21:31:31.846+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;Yesterday was one memorable day.

I just came back from the philippines today, it was a mission trip. Well, overall, i'd say this was an amazing trip, and God really showed wonders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;The trip began last friday where we took the morning flight the the philippines, and arrived at bout 1 plus in the afternoon. However, we only left the airport at bout 3pm cos the 16 cartons and medicines we were carrying into the philippines weren't allowed through customs. After we passed through immigration at the philippines side, our whole grp was called to one side, and the officers actually opened up EVERY SINGLE box of medicines to check!! Initially, they wanted to detain the medicines!!! Calls were made to officials/authorities, and we just basically sat there and waited till miraculously and by God's grace, they granted us a permit to bring the medicines in. What an amazing start off point for the mission trip!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;The journey the IfL was smooth, and living conditions were pretty alright, better than i expected.. hee.. but NOW, i can bathe in 10 mins, with just ONE PAIL of cold water!! like how cool is that??!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;The journey to BSWC on the 3rd/4th day took at total of 12 hours including stopovers and stuff. We left IFL at 4am in the morning, and reached BSWC at 4 pm in the afternoon!! At BSWC, i had the experience of my life. We acually had to carry a few pails and go out of the house, to the communal pump, and pump water from the WELL for bathing!! brrrrrrrr.. it sure was cold.. but we slept in air conditioned rooms at BSWC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;oohhh. yah, one memorable thing that happened was the day we had our trip to the mall!! haha.. on sunday, after the morning service at IFL, it was R&amp;amp;R for the rest of the day. So me, geri, chris and wenhao went with 2 adults from our team, and 2 IFL staff to the nearby mall. We took the tricycle followed by the jeepney!! THese 2 vehicles sure were fun!! haha..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;At the mall, much time was spent EATING, and IN THE TOILET!! hahaha.. yes, those who went will understand. Anyway, we had the funniest incident that day at the mall, in one of the local boutiques.. it was majorly funny. Shan't mention it here lest i miss out any details, but u can always ask the pple involved.. haha...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;I've seen more frogs than i've ever seen in my life in the past 7-8 days. gosh, be it in the toilets, or across the pathway.. or even flattened on the roads!! haha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;alright, now for the prime part of the trip, the typhoons.. yes.. it's a once in a lifetime experience i'd say. When we got news of the typhoon approaching, we were forced to leave BSWC one day early to return to IFL. On the way back to IFL while in the van, it was pretty cool, cos it portrayed little things u see in twister.. like the darkening of the clouds, the strongs winds, and the clouds sweeping so quickly across the sky..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;yesterday, we expected the typhoons to hit IFL around midnight. So the whole day, everyone was busy preparing the place to cope with the typhoon. Lynn, geri and i, and the other girls, helped loosen the soil and clear the gaps between the concrete slabs, to prevent flooding of the place, after which we helped out with the medical part. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;anyways, carpenters were called in to reinforce all wooden atructures of the place, and sand bags were filled and placed everywhere. We even had a drill to evacuate when the typhoon hits our area. Tita pat made us girls go up to our dorms, and upon hearing the bell, grab our sleeping bags, and run down and gather at the main sanctuary. We had to run up and down a total of 3 times!! cos we were either too messy, noisy, or slow. That night, Judith,lynn, geri and i stayed up to talk quite a bit before going to sleep. It was an interesting night, cos we were made to sleep not in our pyjamas, but in our street clothes, such that we'll be prepared to run and evacuate shld anything happen. So everyone slept in really nice clothes, and had all our waist pouches strapped to us as we slept. Some even slept with their sandals and glasses on, to facilitate quick escape!! haha.. major eyeopener..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;But thank God, amazingly, the typhoon that was reported to hit us, did not hit us.. So we merely experienced extremely strong winds and rains. That night, something really bizarre happened. Usually when the girls sleep at night, we'd hear the dogs bark everynight!! but LAST night, when the typhoons were supposed to hit us, the dogs did not bark, instead they howled.. It was like never before, cos it's wasn't just ONE dog that howled, instead, all 4 or 5 of the dogs howled!! hmmmm... even the dogs noe..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;The flight home today was good.. pretty smooth.. but i'm sick now.. bah.. down with running nose and sore throat.. sigh.. hope i'll be up and about tmr, so i can go meet the other youths.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;the 2nd team just arrived in the philippines today.. i sure pray that they won't encounter another typhoon of any sort..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ps: excuse all spelling or grammer mistakes in this entry cos i'm typing this entry based on a "standby mode" such that i'm gonna konk out anytime soon.. hee..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110208528729892913?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110208528729892913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110208528729892913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/12/after-short-hiatus.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110136067456575761</id><published>2004-11-25T13:21:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-11-25T13:31:14.566+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;hmmm.. the hols sure feel good.. and i thot i'd just blog one last entry before i leave for the philippines tmr morning.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;i just finished packing my bag for the trip tmr morning.i took a total of TWO days to pack it.. haha.. actually, i still have my toiletries to put in..  oohh.. my bag's soooooo big and heavy.. just carrying it and walking in and out of my room already gives me aches on my back and shoulders.. die... haha.. but nonetheless, i'll persevere!! hee.. i'm soooo very excited for the mission trip starting tmr.

the A's are finally over!!! woohoo!!! i'm so excited for the months to come..  econs today, was ... erm... alright?... as in, i wasn't expecting much anyway..i was already in the holiday mood when i went for my paper this morning.. hahaha.. yup..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;after econs paper today, mummy came to pick me from sch, and drove me straight to downtown east where i met &lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;mel, vicki, marcus, chang yuh and josh&lt;/span&gt; for a day at &lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;WILD WILD WET&lt;/span&gt;... ooooohhhh.. it was fun today!!! hahaha... we went on all the slides except this purple tunnel slide thing.... hahaha.. it was real fun.. hmmm.. but highlight of the day, was the slide, deemed the most aggressive in wild wild wet.. that is, the "&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;SLIDE UP&lt;/span&gt;".  oh my goodness, never in my life i'd imagine myself to be going on THAT slide.. it's a &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;v shaped, 4STOREY slide&lt;/span&gt;.. really really scary.. just getting the float, and climbing up the stairs gave me the creeps.. i partnered mel for that slide.. and when we first came down.. it was so fast that i had this momentary feeling that our float actually floated OFF the slide.. i opened my mouth to scream, but NO VOICE came out at all!! hahaha... hmmm.. but i'm glad mel wanted to take that ride.. haha, or else i'd never have dared to go on that slide..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt; favourite slide of the day(for me).. was the "&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;ular lah&lt;/span&gt;"... it was very fun.. all six of us got into one float, and went down this curvy slide... and we even managed to smile at the camera for our pic to get taken.. haha.. of course, the wave pool was enjoyable too..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;was gonna join the zgmights for dinner.. but forgot to tell mummy earlier.. by the time i called her and told her, she was already on the way to pick me.. so i ended up going out for dinner with my mum and sis..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;a great day well spent today.. i had loads of fun.. but i just realised that i've this cut on the sole of my feet.. and it hurts really bad when i walk.. =(... .....the price u pay for fun.. haha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110113130715030543?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110113130715030543'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110113130715030543'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/11/yay-as-are-finally-over-woohoo-im-so.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110092427317938452</id><published>2004-11-20T11:42:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-11-20T12:17:53.180+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;yesterday was peachy.. chemistry paper 1 wasn't exactly good..One of my friends found it easy!! darn.. i din find it easy at all, especially with the fact that i had to guess a few of the answers, and plus as i had not enough time, i just simply shaded the last few qns a random option.. i just hope i pass.. but i think i kinda screwed up my chem mcq..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;Went home after my chem paper, got changed then went with mummy and my younger sis to the bukit batok driving centre, where i enrolled for driving.. hee.. so cool.. can hardly wait to start the theory thing first.. hee..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;headed to causeway point for dinner after that.. after which after dinner, mummy received a msg from my uncle saying that my grandma got admitted into A&amp;E at NUH... so we rushed down to NUH after dinner at bout 8 plus.. sat at the A&amp;amp;E area for a pretty long time, as we weren't allowed in to see grandma..  luckily i managed to catch singapore idol at the lounge area.. haha... waited for bout 45mins, during which that 45 mins was sure interesting.. evrytime an ambulance drove in, we'd start looking.. how sadistic eh? yea, but it was nothing much.. no bloody cases or anything.. we only saw one guy who got wheeled in with a broken arm.. an angmoh lady with breathing problems(i think).. and an old lady with a sudden low sugar level.. oh yah!! and there was this girl, prob bout my age or a few yrs older,dressed in t shirt and shorts, she was running to the main building, and crying hysterically on her hp!! she ran halfway, then knelt down on the floor and cried and cried and cried.. apparently, her father just passed away..  my heart really went out to that girl man.. i mean, she's still so young!!! IT's sad to lose a parent!! MORE than sad i'd say.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;finally, we got to see grandma. she got admitted for an asthma attack,breathing difficulties and an irregular heart rate..  yup.. so we stayed with her at the ward for awhile, got her settled down and evrything.. her maid's really doting and sweet!! grandma's maid started tearing when she finally got to see grandma, with the tubes and drip and evrything.. and she quickly took out tissue and started wiping grandma's face.. ( heard from my maid, that grandma's maid even cried while in the ambulance with grandma on the way to hospital!) she ended up staying overnight in the hospital with grandma..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;but i've this conclusion.. i think the service in NUH is MUCH MUCH better than that in SGH.. the doctors and nurses here are sooooo much nicer, jovial, and more patient!! Last time, when my grandma had to undergo an op at SGH.. the doctors and nurses there were all so grumpy and impatient!!  hmmm but then again, it was at NUH where my grandfather passed away 4 and a 1/2 yrs ago... hmmm....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110092427317938452?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110092427317938452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110092427317938452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/11/yesterday-was-peachy.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110078777059238975</id><published>2004-11-18T21:50:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-11-18T22:32:04.353+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;alright, i just completed a VJC chem mcq paper in preparation for tmr.. kinda crappy.. i think i've sorta lost my steam in this last few days already.. hee.. i'm only left with tmr's chem mcq paper, and monday's econs mcq, drq and case study.. woohoo!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway, will only be online for awhile to blog bout today's weird happening, before going on to complete another mcq paper..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to jurong point with sop today to "study".. yea.. and we did.. right? until SOMETHING happened... we were studying at the macs at jp, at this table which was against the wall.. behind our table was the corner table.. which was pretty squeezy.. yea anyway.. sop and i sat diagonally opposite each other at the table.. i was listening to my muvo, unaware of the happenings around me, and punching away at my calculator, solving chem qns.. then this freakin irritating person, of all the empty tables around us, had to squeeze at the table behind ours.. so it was like, that person's chair and my chair was back to back.. and he kept pushin my chair and making all sorts of noises, and he was alone!! i was thinking to myself, " wad's his problem?of all place, must come pick this table.."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then after awhile, he moved to the seat inside..ya see, i sat on the outside seat, and put my bag on the seat inside, on my left.. so in other words, he was sitting with his back facing the seat my bag was on.. and after awhile, he turned diagonally, and leaned his stupid arm on the seat my bag was on.. and i've no idea how, but he still kept hitting/or pushing my chair.. i got soooooooo darn irritated that i turned and stared at him.. and it turned out that he was this malay, wearing those satin malay traditional clothe.. and it was bright purple!! and he had this pair of really really really old fashioned sunglasses on.. apparently, according to sop, who sat opposite me(facing him), he had been staring at me doing my work for like the past few mins!! FREAKY!!!..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway, back to the story, after i turned and stared at him, (he was alone and eating an ice cream by the way).. i quickly turned back and asked sop a chem qns.. and he started tokking!! yikes!!...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HIM: u all doing chemistry ahz?&lt;br /&gt;me: erm, yah? (duh!! my chem tys is on the table in FRONT of you!!)&lt;br /&gt;HIM: A level students eh? (DUH!! are u blind!! it's written in font size 200 A LEVEL on my tys?)&lt;br /&gt;me: erm.. ya?&lt;br /&gt;HIM: i used to like chemistry too.. i preferred chemistry to.. erm.. phy... physics!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i found it pretty weird.. like, he's trying something funny.. so i ignored him.. as he continued mumbling some stuff.. continued listening to my muvo till i realised that he was in a perfect position to snatch my bag, since his arm was ON the chair with my bag on it!! furthermore, my bag was translucent, so u can see my wallet and muvo player in it!! so as conscious as i was of him, i took my bag and pretended to take my pencil case out, then after taking my pencil case out, i rested my bag on my lap, and got back to doing my chem..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THEN.. the weirdest thing happened, he left the table behind me, and moved to the table NEXT to ME on my right!! OH MY GOODNESS!! i almsot died!! i was soooo scared, and by then i sort of guessed that he was probably up to no good.. my heart was like beating so fast, and i cld harly concentrate.. it was like, from my peripheral vision, i cld feel his eyes.. eeeeeksss.. my hair's all standing now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so i wrote a note to sop, and slide it across the table, and suggested we leave this place.. immediately!! yea.. so we packed up and i said really LOUDLY, let's go HOME sop, i'm soooo tired!! then we ran out of macs, fearful that he might follow us!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my goodness, that shade of purple is like haunting me now!! why why why did he have to wear purple??!!! .. while walking in jp, finding another place to study, it suddenly seemed like, EVERYONE"S wearing purple!! and i jumped at the slightest bit of THAT purple i saw..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sop and i ended up studying at the food court where it was much more peaceful and serene.. now i think i'm racist against.. erm... them.. yup.. see!! it only takes one rotten egg, to spoil the WHOLE basket.. alrightey.. gotta get back to chem!! why do these things always happen to me? so scary!!!!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110078777059238975?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110078777059238975'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110078777059238975'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/11/alright-i-just-completed-vjc-chem-mcq.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-110001265263849220</id><published>2004-11-09T22:52:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-11-09T23:06:25.043+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;wow, seems like everyone's gettin more and more IT inclined eh? everyone's blog's getting so nice and high tech, and i dun even noe how to put music on my blog!!!! hahahaha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;chem paper 3 and math paper 1 are over.. the papers were fine.. hmmm, but math paper 1 really deprived me of my precious beauty sleep.. i slept at 3.30am last night.. it's been a loooooooooonnnngggg time since i've stayed up THIS late.. i think the last time i stayed up till the wee hours of the morning was last yr, when i was on the phone with a friend till 6 plus, 7am in the morning.. it's cool how u witness the whole colour change of the sky, from black, till grey, till orange in the morn.. hahaha.... yea.. that memory kinda jsut popped up in my mind while i was studying last night.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;anyway... after today's math paper, a random thought came to me. I realised how we're never satisfied with the things we have. We stay up late, studying, and when we feel that we've lost all hope, and on the verge of giving up.. we think " i hope i pass". Then morning comes, and we're able to recollect and re-compose ourselves, with the confidence of passing, then we think " i hope i'll be able to complete the paper in time". Then AFTER the paper, we come out of the exam hall thinking" darn, i hope i dun miss my A"...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;see? it's like a chain sort of thing.. each time we achieve sth, we reach out and want to achieve more.. and more and more and more...it's never ending...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-110001265263849220?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110001265263849220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/110001265263849220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/11/wow-seems-like-everyones-gettin-more.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-109975968501205759</id><published>2004-11-07T01:41:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-11-07T00:48:05.013+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>alright.. today's one heck of a long memorising day.. i memorised over 40 pages of notes.. it's really purely memorising.. no need for any application of any sort!! it's FOOD CHEMISTRY.. oh man.. i think this is simply retarded.. now i noe how i shld cook my food in the future, so as to make sure i dont lose the nutrients... now i noe at wad temp i shld freeze my food in the refrigerator so as not to allow micro organisms to come attack my food!! now i noe how to draw protein chains.. and i noe how u get 2 different colours on 1 piece of beef ( half purple and half red)... i hate food chem.. i really do..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, chem's on monday.. math's on tuesday.. pretty scary..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-109975968501205759?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109975968501205759'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109975968501205759'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/11/alright.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-109954991858074725</id><published>2004-11-04T14:20:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-11-04T14:31:58.580+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>yesterday was good, today was, alright. Went to school in the afternoon yesterday for my last gp consultation before the gp paper today.  Essay was alright, aq was alright too.  Yesterday afternoon, it was raining cats at dogs in the bukit timah - sunset way area, and due to especially poor drainage(which i just realised) at bukit timah, there was minor flooding.  From wad i estimate, water level went up to 7cm above the road, i think.  My mum drove me to sch, and while we came out of the underpass connecting jalan anak bukit to clementi road, this civil defence lorry skidded right in front of our car.  It got pushed by the water current on the road from in front of our car, to the left, and hit a curb.  My mum sort of shrieked in the car, and my heart nearly jumped out. haha, i got a shock lah.  I was just wondering, what wld've happened if our car was at that particular position when the lorry got skidded to the left.. hmm..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway, after i got home, went running with drea.. yep, after not running for like, one and a half months. i finally put on my running shoes and went running around my estate.  wow, i never knew there were pretty nice houses in the area.. huge ones!! haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today was gp paper 1 and 2.  Didn't feel like it's the A's.. but anyhows, essay was okie.. not too bad, considering a topic that i read up on came out.  so it was good.  Can't say the same for the compre.  Though it was easier than my prelim compre, i won't say it was easy, but doable i guess.  AQ was bad!!! i didn't have time to complete it!! =(.. only ended up writing one and a half sides for my AQ.. but i included an introduction though.  Ms netty told me yesterday, that i shld write an introduction for my AQ.. and today was the FIRST AQ that i actually wrote an introduction for, and i didn't have time to finish writing... =(.. sigh.. it's alright..i've committed the results unto the Lord, and i know He'll take care of it.. =) no worries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-109954991858074725?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109954991858074725'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109954991858074725'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/11/yesterday-was-good-today-was-alright.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-109923977623951669</id><published>2004-11-01T01:12:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-11-01T00:24:40.196+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;*life's a bed of roses for some, but a rocky cliff for others*&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;today was a pretty alright day.

We both came to acjc, and we hardly knew anyone in class. Yup. So we got closer then. I'll always remember all the physics practicals we had last yr in j1, where almost ALL our practicals were always screwed up. So all our readings were always like copied from someone else. Chem practicals were always divided between us, where we'll each decide which part we'll do, and combine answers later. =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Wanna thank you for the parties u've invited me to, and my parties u've graced.

Woke up early today to go for ms marhaini's econs lesson at 8am. Left the hse late, though, so after taking into account the morning traffic and stuff, i was late for her lesson. Reached the lecture theatre at 8.30am. *phew* She din say anything when i walked in. So we went thru the hwa chong prelim paper, from 8.30 am till 10.30 am. Had a snack with my classmates in sch, after which we all went to the hub to study. Chem Consultation with mr loke from 12pm to 12.45pm, went back to the hub after consultation. studied a lil while more, then met gladys and yueling to go for chem tuition. Somehow, i'm getting a little intimidated by chem. The A's are gonna be starting in &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;SEVEN&lt;/span&gt; days for me. yup, chem prac's on the 28th oct, next thurs. it's really freakin me out man.. hmmm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;finished up market structures today. *yay*, and a math paper 1. I soooo wanna go overseas after my A's!! Received a package thru the mail from some US university today. In it was an application letter, and some brochures bout the uni. But i was just looking at the prospectus booklet for &lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;University of Melbourne&lt;/span&gt;, and i soooo wanna go there!! But my parents kinda want me in boring- terrible- rigid- education-system s'pore. They dun see a need for an overseas education when u can get into a local uni!! sigh... the worse thing is, now the education system is such that when students apply for universities now, they can only apply to ONE freakin local university at a time. and like, if i dun get into my choice of university, THEN i can re-apply for another uni. But by that time, i bet the space wld've been taken up already?? i think i'm beginning to crap now.. hmm.. just thinking bout my future..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think i'm gonna study study study study really really really hard.. and perhaps, just perhaps i MIGHT be able to get a scholarship or sth? oph my goodness, this is sooooo embarassing cos i noe it's impossible. forget it, i'm gonna sleep. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-109829295095655014?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109829295095655014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109829295095655014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/10/im-supposed-to-be-goin-to-sleep-now.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-109777769983931972</id><published>2004-10-15T02:14:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-10-15T02:21:20.666+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/206/1734/640/111_1185.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/206/1734/320/111_1185.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;grp photo with classmates.. &lt;a href="http://www.hello.com/" target="ext"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" alt="Posted by Hello" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbh.gif" align="absMiddle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-109777769983931972?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109777769983931972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109777769983931972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/10/grp-photo-with-classmates.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-109777483667773547</id><published>2004-10-15T01:14:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-10-15T01:31:15.496+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>today's one heck of an emotional day. it was our last day of sch today for the jc2s. so there was bacalaureate service till bout 10 plus am, followed by a buffet and photo taking session for the j2s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we had a bacalaureate service, which included a message from the principal, bacalaureate thots from the ex council president, and a teacher, followed by valedictorian speech. The teachers also sang all the j2s a song. now THAT was *tear inducing*. i was controlling sooooo hard not to cry. then the cca captains/presidents also sang another song, find us faithful. it was really nice, cos we were all standing on chairs and stuff.. really heart warming..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the service ended, we all began our non stop photo taking session, with classmates, friends, sch mates etc. i took quite a lot of pics.. bout 75 pics in total.. and i still missed out on taking with so many pple cos my digi cam ran out of battery!! so lousy k, even though i charged the battery for one whole night!! haha.. but it was really funny, cos by bout 11 plus, 12pm, all canon cameras ran out of battery!! haha.. so everyone was depending on panasonic and olynpus cameras!! haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the buffet was alright i guess.. there was even a cake with a msg written on the cake!! but despite that, i din even eat anything cos i was so busy taking pics and stuff.. haha.. it was really fun, going around taking pics and stuff..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;went for lunch after that with chua and friends; caught the movie white chicks. oh my goodness, it was hilarious!! laughed non stop!!! hahaha.. yea.. great day today.. a little bittersweet.. glad that sch has ended.. at the same time, sad that i've reached the end of it all. but i love my photos.. gonna develop all of it tmr..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;photos are up already.. at the right hand column, under "my photo album 2" followed by "last day in sch"... &lt;a href="http://community.webshots.com/album/200331703schBTA"&gt;http://community.webshots.com/album/200331703schBTA&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-109777483667773547?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109777483667773547'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109777483667773547'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/10/todays-one-heck-of-emotional-day.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-109757565057230196</id><published>2004-10-12T17:51:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-10-12T18:27:11.006+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>*woo hoo*!! i finally got my &lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;pink &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;creative muvo player! so happy. anyways, yesterday was one memorable day. Chapel was the best! It's the last chapel ever, in my life. I've been going for chapel once every wk for the past &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;TWELVE YEARS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;of my life. How funny, that time just seems to past so fast. hmm, to add on to that last chapel, we had pastor alvin pang to come speak to us, and he's the interesting one. hee.. and yea, after all those nights of stayin up, my friends and i actually stayed awake through the WHOLE of chapel sermon. He preached a good msg, inviting pple to accept the Lord after having heard so much over the past two yrs of JC life. We were all told to keep our eyes closed while pple raised up their hands. And i was real glad, that there were pple who actually raised up their hands,(usually there ain't anybody who would). yea, but with my eyes closed, when i heard him say "thank you for that hand" a few times, i jsut felt warmth in my heart, happy that there were quite a few who were willing to say the prayer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today was econs mock. it was, well, much better than the NJC paper that ms marhaini let us do last wk. I actually completed the mock in time, FOR ONCE, for those who noe how slowly i write, haha. i even had time to stone for the last qns cos i din noe wad to write for the last qns. *hee*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is the last wk of sch already. And i'd definitely say this is the wk of sch i've enjoyed the most in my entire jc life. it's really nice to see the rest of ur class finally bonding together, tokking and laughing together, ponning lectures together, and staying back after sch to study together. Thank God for this wk, cos it's really gonna make me miss my class after thurs. Thurs is my last day in sch where we'll be having a baccalaureate service, supposedly to "thank" the j2s for our "service" to the sch, and to "send us off on our future journey". How 'thoughtful'. But anyhows, i'm already feeling the sadness. These few days, my class has been like a photography studio, where we've been takiing so many pictures together. Tomorrow, we gotta take photos in the lecture theatres and stuff. haha.. but then again, we'll still be seeing each other on a weekly basis, cos i've still got a gp mock and econs mock. this friday's class bonding day. haha.. we'll be playing water polo in sch after our mock exam (just like our jc1 days)... sigh.. kk.. alrightey, back to practising math for tmr's mock exam!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;to joy: i can't find my "electronic monster" thing!! so sad!!! i think it's either at my old hse, or my mum gave it away!! aarrgghh.. i only have this other one called "pocket puppy".. haha..oh my goodness, it's so embarassing just typing it out here.. haha..  but can't fight or anything one.. hee.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div

watching FAHRENHEIT 911.. but we ended up going through a VJc prelim paper, and i had gp consultation with ms netty. the rest of the day was perfectly fine.  my WHOLE class except 4 pple, ponned physics lecture!! haha.. really funny. so i had the whole class with me during me free period. we ended up being late for the chem tutorial period which was after that. Ended sch at bout 1 plus, after which chua and i went to the hub to study. my classmates came a period later. slacked plus studied till 4pm, when i had to go for econs consultation. THAT went well too.  then later at 4.30pm, went to the mezzanine with kenneth and chua, where they had dc.  Ended at bout 6 plus.  Left sch with chua.  We were happily walking and talking and laughing all the way out, till when we neared the sch gate, i realised that i left my econs tys in the hub.  bah. had to walk all the way back to the hub to get it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;yesterday was a happy day. i was a very happy girl in sch yesterday.   EXCEPT in the night, while i was sleeping.  Last night while i was asleep, i had the worst nightmare, one of the worst i'd say.  It involved people around me, my friends. Unfortunate things happened.  It was so scary that i dun even wanna mention it.  I was awoken by it in the middle of the night, and i couldn't gt back to sleep, cos each time i closed my eyes, my mind took me back to the exact "scene" of the nightmare where i left off.  i prayed and prayed and prayed, before i finally fell asleep again later in the night.  It was so vivid that up till now, i can still rem that exact scenario, and exactly wad i saw.  It's extremely frightening, and i just hope it wont be a dejaVu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;i'm currently in the midst of doing the A level 2002 math paper, and it's so difficult!! Did the 2003 paper also, and it was much much easier. Sigh, so if they follow a pattern, then this yr's math paper will be difficult!! aarrgghh...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Today was one looooong day.  Had lessons in sch till 1.50pm, break, followed by my gp mock exam from 2.45 all the way till 6.15pm!! Tiring.  It was really funny during econs double tutorial period today cos it was sooooo boRing, and while we were copying notes from the board, we were all practically half asleep.  And when i read the notes that i copied later after the lesson, i half din understand wad the heck i was writing!! haha..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Yesterday's gp lesson was a blast.  Ms netty lost her voice, so we got to watch a movie during double period gp lesson yesterday. We got to watch "talking cock".  This is an ultra funny show, perfect for "abs development" i'd say!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was this part at the beginning of the movie where the movie showed Sir Raffles and Farquhar discovering S'pore as an island.  Sir Raffles was portrayed as a really himbotic person, and then farquhar was trying to please Raffles by saying:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Farquhar: well raffles, since u found this island, many places in here will be named after u. eg, RAFFLES HOSPITAL, RAFFLES HOTEL, etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Raffles: hmmm.. yes... (pleased)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Farquhar: even a mental instituition will be named after u!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Raffles: ahz... (grinZ).. yes.. i see it... RAFFLES INSTITUITION..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;ps: no offence to anyone from RI, i'm just quoting from the movie.. hee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;oh my goodness, my whole class almost died laughing!! it was soooooo funny.. and this is like only the beginning scene!! haha.. this movie is the best for relieving stress man.. i shld try and get the vcd.. haha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;anyways, grades for prelims got moderated.. but it's still really bad. At least i passed overall. urgh.. i think i'm getting sick. My throat hurts really badly, and my nose is running.Usually when this happens, in a few days time, i'll definitely lose my voice..  NO No.. i dun wanna lose my voice, hate losing my voice, cos then i can't talk! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;gotta get back to math now.. ciao...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-109647152915833051?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109647152915833051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109647152915833051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/09/im-currently-in-midst-of-doing-a-level.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-109604027560191736</id><published>2004-09-24T23:19:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-09-25T00:00:25.640+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>ooohhhh.. i'm totally psyched bout .. &lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;seniors' night aka PROM&lt;/span&gt;!

Most classes all end sch at 1.10 - 1.50 everyday, but for my class, we end at 4.30 on mondays cos of prac!! and tuesdays, we're suppsoed to end at 1.50pm, but my econs tutor wants to take us for another extra 2 periods after sch!! so i end bout 4pm on tuesdays. well, the rest of the days are either 1.10 or 1.50. wednesdays are now terrible days. I've got double period math tutorials, followed by double period ECONS tutorial!! oh man, it was so freakin tiring!! Anways, luckily i had a few free periods today, cos ms netty's still on her honeymoon!! haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;school ended after an NUS talk today, after which my mum came to pick me up. Went for lunch, and after that, we were supposed to go look for the new creative MUVO 5GB mp3 player. We went to sim lim sq, and i went to EVERY SHOP IN THE 5 LEVELS OF SIM LIM SQ!! but every shop was either sold out, or they din have the pink one!! aarrrgghh.. how disappointing. now i've to wait till the weekend, or next wk to get it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmmm, the whole sch's now pretty much in the studying mood, with the jc2's having A levels, and the jC1s having their promos soon. the sch's open till 9pm for students to study in, and free dinner's provided every evening!! like how cool is that??!! haha.. i shall stay in sch to study on fri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh, but i've jsut heard the worst news.

It's the first time i've ever attended a malay wedding.. but ms netty's wedding was a little different. haha.. ya see, malay weddings are usually held at void decks. &lt;strong&gt;BUT&lt;/strong&gt; ms netty din want her's at a void deck, so she booked some hall at a community centre. She told us that she'd be arriving at about 5pm, so i met my classmates a little earlier, before we all went in. When we walked into the hall, and all wanted to walk to the right side of the hall, the lady at the entrance told us that we had to sit separately!! As in, the guys had to sit at the left side of the hall with all the other guys, while the girls were to sit at the right side, together with all the other ladies.. hahaha.. and separating the guys and girls, was the red ceremonial carpet.. haha.. pretty interesting i'd say. We had yummy nasi briyani and other dishes.. soon, we heard the drums playin.. and there was ms netty, her husband, and family..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wow.. ms netty looked absolutely gorgeous.. the guys were totally taken aback, so were the girls! she didn't wear the traditional malay gown, but she was dressed in this stunning white "off-shoulders" gown..  and she ever wore a tiara!! hmmm, her husband's not bad lookin, really friendly too..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, after taking pics with her and stuff, my classmates and i took a &lt;strong&gt;FIFTEEN MINUTES&lt;/strong&gt; walk to holland v.. i totally got conned by my class guys into walking there!! so yea, us girls had to walk in our heels, from the ulu pandan cc to holland v.. when we finally reached holland v, we just plonked down into those nice comfy seats in the air conditioned haggen daz, refusing to get up.. haha.. we ordered nice ice cream, and mainly tokked crap over dessert.. class meals like these always bring loads of laughter..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we finally left haggen daz at bout 9 plus.  after i got home, bathed and stuff, at bout 12 plus at night, my mum drove me to su's hse for the "class" sleepover..we all stayed up till 5 am that night!! it was pretty alright i suppose.. i left the earliest the next morning. cabbed home, got some more sleep, then my parents fetched sop and i to church..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sun, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;went&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;to church for 2nd service since there was no sunday sch.. the peak came when all the mission trippers had to take &lt;strong&gt;two injections&lt;/strong&gt;.. one on each arm.. To tell the truth, i was pretty scared.. hee.. but anyhow, it's all over now.. after effects? the jab on the left arm is a-ok... can't say the same for the one on the right though.. the jabbed area on my right arm is now red and swollen.. really painful too.. hopefully it'll go away in a few days..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the jab, and carolling prac, the zgmights went down to aranda country club for marcus' bdae bbq.. it was fun --- &lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BUTTERING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;the food.. haha.. towards the end of the bbq, was the bdae cake.. wow, the cake's sinfully delicious.. so chocolatey and yummy.. ooohhh.. i absolutely &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;loooooovvvvveeeee &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;chocolate.. anyway, the plan to smash cake on marcus' face worked.. hahaha.. thanks to jon, &lt;strong&gt;AND &lt;/strong&gt;wenhao(who managed to get marcus' attention!!).. haha..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the bbq was the stayover. it was really fun.. haha, i played mahjong!! ooh, this game is fun.. was able to brush up my rusty skills on playin mahjong.. haha.. and i won twice!! =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the mahjong game was a few rounds of blind man's buff, in the dark dark room.. haha.. that game was really entertaining i'd say.. i haven't played this game since my pri sch days!! haha.. thankfully, i din have to be the "blind man".. hee.. that night, we all slept at 4am..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i enjoyed myself thoroughly at the bbq and sleeover..&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;many thanks to mich and marcus.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-109457328410607848?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109457328410607848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109457328410607848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/09/past-few-days-have-been-absolutely.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-109421689053801228</id><published>2004-09-03T20:52:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-09-04T01:59:56.513+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;today was a peachy day.. ac celebrated teachers' day in sch today, so the whole sch had half day. Went to sch today with an extremely relaxed mind.. and i must commend the 29th students' council on the pretty decoration.. they actually made this whole banner made of balloons, across the entrance of the main staircase.. and it was white and pink.. really sweet.. and they were like giving out sweets too!! haha.. well, the teachers' day programme this yr is not bad at all.. the teachers were saboed, into playing whose line is it anyway!! haha.. anyways, there were about 20 items in total, that was part of the programme today. nevertheless, we ended sch at bout 11 plus i think, then my classmates and i went to PS for lunch and a movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we watched the movie &lt;strong&gt;harold and kumar&lt;/strong&gt;.. hahaha.. it was an M18 show, and the lady at the entrance of the cinema wanted to check ALL of our ic's lah!! so i had to lend my student pass to one of my friends.. thankfully, we all managed to get in..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well well, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;NOW&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; i know why they're so strict with their rules and stuff.. the censor system thing is soooo relaxed now.. i think a few yrs ago, this movie wld have been rated &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;RA&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; .. there were quite a few scenes which.. erm.. should have been rated RA.. BUT, this movie is absolutely hilarious.. basically, the storyline can be summarised in one sentence..it's basically bout harold and kumar travelling to this place called whitecastle, in search of this burger.. yes, a burger.. it's a stupid show, but if u're looking for a good laugh, it sure can provide enough laughs for a day..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the movie, we walked around quite a bit, from PS to heeren, to taka, to wisma. After which i went to meet up with sop, reina and shermain.. then we walked all the way to far east... to cont shopping.. reina and shermain left after a while, while sop and i went back to wisma and taka to shop for&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;stuff...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tmr's gonna be a long day.. will be goin for mission training in church, after which i've to rush to go for ms netty's wedding.. hee.. sigh.. gotta miss youth service tmr.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-109421689053801228?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109421689053801228'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109421689053801228'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/09/today-was-peachy-day.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-109396148178355110</id><published>2004-08-31T21:41:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-08-31T22:24:26.930+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>*yay*!!! finally, i can blog without feeling even a tinge of guilt bout not studying.. hee.. well well.. prelims are finally over!!! oohhhh..... and i've watched 3 movies over the past 2 days!!! namely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&gt;the notebook (where i cried buckets while watching!!)&lt;br /&gt;--&gt;13 going on 30 (ooohhh.. i love this movie.. jennifer garner's pretty!! i cried too!! at the part where she the guy she liked said he chose the other girl!!)&lt;br /&gt;--&gt;the stepford wives( an extremely hilarious show.. but pretty shocking.. but i was pretty scared at certain parts though.. haha)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, today, while all other schools in singapore were celebrating teachers' day, the j1s in ac were having lessons, while the j2's were having their chem paper 1.. how retarded. mr loke said ac's spastic cos we have our prelims so darn early.. so during the sept hols, while all other jc students are cramming for their prelims and eventually A's,ac students are all relaxing/enjoying/playing. haha.. he said it happens every yr!! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i had my chem paper 2 yesterday, which i concluded was the best paper in my whole prelims!! haha.. today's chem mcq paper was terrible though.. thank goodness i wasn't the only one who thought so.

totally agree.. and the irritating thing is, u can't do anything bout it....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;somehow it seems, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;u can't have everything.. each time u get sth, u have to give up something else..&lt;/span&gt; it's always a choice u've to make.. but i don't want to have to make a choice.. (hmmm.. this sounds so econ-ish,---&gt; with scarcity comes a choice, and with choice comes opportunity cost.. haha)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thanks to shu, who put this thot across my mind today.. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;" life's more than just a paper chase"..&lt;/span&gt; yea!! definitely.. life's so much more.. 10, 100 times.. no.. rather..

"kill" it.. she just sprayed shieldtox at it.. till it disappeared into the corner, which was a dead end.. but the thing is, when we removed everthing from the dead end-corner, it wasn't there.. it's prob dead somewhere in my room i hope.. okie.. so i thot everything wasw fine, and my mum went to sleep, and i went back to studying.. then at bout 12 plus..this beige thing just plopped right next to me on top of my worksheets piled on my laptop.. i got a shock of my life and literally jumped out of my seat!! it was a lizard, which dropped from goodness noes where.. and it kept crawling around my laptop area on my worksheets!!! eeeekkksss.. i din noe wad to do, so i jsut stayed on my chair and wheeled my chair near my room door.. eventually the lizard dropped from my table to the floor, and crawled all the way to the the settee area beside my bed!! i was so afraid that it might climb onto my bed, so i took my room's lavender air spray, and kept spraying at it.. hoping that it might fall asleep or sth.. i think it worked awhile.. cos the lizard just stayed motionless at the same spot for quite a while.. when i finally finished studying at bout 3 plus am.. almost zonked out already, i went to the settee area to check on the lizard and it wasn't there anymore!! Since it was near my bed the last time i saw it, i din dare to sleep on my bed..  so.. that night.. despite the fact that i was so freaking tired already.. i din even get to sleep in my room on my own bed!!! i took my comforter, pillow and bolster, went down to the area outside my mum's room, switched on the air con there. and slept on the day bed.. by the time i slept, it was already 4.30 am!! and the worse thing was, my maid came and woke me up at 6 am, thinking i had to go to sch the normal time!!! i could have killed her man.. anyways.. mumbled to her that my paper was in the afternoon that day, then fell back into deep sleep.  my alarm clock rang at 8am that morning, but i was so tired that i could only wake up at 8.30am.. then continued studying math till it was time to get ready to leave for my paper in sch..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well well.. so now i hate lizards.. and i've this strong feeling IT'S still in my room.. cos i can hear the sounds it makes.. ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway.. decided to go for prom since it'll be the last of these event i'll be having in my sch years already.. so i can't go for the mission trip between 3rd to 12th dec.. well.. i'm still praying that there might a change of events?

Monday was pretty alright, a full lecture day.. yea.. whole day lectures only. so daniel, roy, kenneth, desmond, shawn, shuX and i skipped mashren's boring, and totally useless econs revision lecture. But at least we weren't wasting our time tokking during the lecture!! we were doing productive revision of our own work in the library. yea. But stupid mashren, of all days, he just &lt;strong&gt;had&lt;/strong&gt; to mark attendance on that day. and he specifically wanted only the attendance for my class and Sb1.. apparently only 8 pple from my class went for lecture that day, how pathetic. haha.. anyways, he was being so mean, that he went and gave our names to my econs tutor!! oh man.. when we heard that he marked attendance that day, from our other classmates, we almost died. my econs tutor is &lt;strong&gt;THE BOMB&lt;/strong&gt; i tell u. she can scream sooooo loudly that u can hear her from the other end of the level perhaps? yea.. and we were like.. "crap.. she's sooo gonna kill us man..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but thankfully we din have any econs tutorial periods on monday, so we won't be seeing her, &lt;em&gt;or so we thought&lt;/em&gt;. During gp lesson, shuX and i were coming up with an excuse bout how i wasn't feeling well and was puking in the toilet, so that's why both of us were in the toilet through the whole lecture!! haha.... but as luck wld have it, when we both turned to look at the glass panel of our classroom door, we saw the blackest face ever of our econs tutor. Both of ur were like " shit!! wad's she doing here??!!" so Shux and i quickly turned to the guys at the back and tried to tell them that SHE'S here.. gp ended almost immediately, and even before my gp tutor stepped out of class, she stormed in, swung the door open and &lt;strong&gt;shouted&lt;/strong&gt;.." I'M VERY UPSET WITH ALL OF YOU!! WHO ARE THOSE WHO DIN GO FOR LECTURE TODAY?

Then, just before the command came for us to stand for assembly,&amp;nbsp;we realised the reason why evryone was looking through their econs notes. &lt;em&gt;There was gonna be an econs test on international trade and finance today!! &lt;/em&gt;i really almost died. That set of notes was the thickest set in my whole econs syllabus, i think.&amp;nbsp; There was no way i could even finish READING through the set of notes by the 3rd period!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;But my friends and i were wondering how come we never knew there was gonna be a test. It was only later that we realised that the lecturer told and reminded evryone bout the test, during that &lt;em&gt;PARTICULAR&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;lecture that we skipped.&amp;nbsp; How unfortunate, i thot, of all lectures.&amp;nbsp; Thankfully, the 1 hr econs test today was a case study test, so we could refer to some of the info given in the test. hmmm, at least i managed to WRITE something for each question. But it's not counted anyway. yea.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;well, after the test, evrything was pretty smooth sailing. Chemistry tutorial was the period after recess, and the period was gonna end at 11.10am.&amp;nbsp; But at 11.00 am, the most amusing thing happened.&amp;nbsp; The fire alarm in our sch went off!! hahaha.. it was super hilarious!! Cos it was sooooo super soft, that we could hardly hear it.. and some pple in class were like, " is that the fire bell?"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;and Mr Loke was like.. "YAH LAH!!! QUICK GO DOWN(as in to the field in front of the sch) NOW!!" haha.. we were like, " darn!! why can't they sound the fire bell the next period, during econs tutorial period!!!"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;it was so damn funny, cos some of the guys in class were like, " huh?! okie.. wait ahz sir.. we copy finish this(referring to the stuff mr loke wrote on the board), then we go down."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;and mr loke replied:" wad?! if this was a real fire, your class wld be barbequeued already lah!!" so we gathered all our valuables, and went out of class. haha.. the funniest thing was that, we actually wanted to take the fireman lift down, since it was the only one that was working.. haha.. but, we walked down in the end.. yes.. WALKED down SIX STOREYS!! haha.. we were like one of the last SB classes to reach the field.&amp;nbsp; it was freaking hilarious man.. hahaha&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;this fire drill was such a major thing, that even the cleaners, canteen vendors, gym workers, and the ang peng siong sch staff, all had to gather at the field as well!! haha.. we stayed at the field for quite a while, listening&amp;nbsp;to gurmit singh(the pe hod) and kelvyna chan talk.. then slowly made our way back to class SLOWLY.. after that. and the stupid lifts were not working yet.. so we had to WALK UP THE SIX STOREYS again!! haha.. but we managed to skip some of econs tutorial period though.. hahaha..&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;i'm excited bout the next fire drill.. kelvyna said there's gonna be another one soon.. but it's gonna be a &lt;em&gt;surprise...&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; hahaha..&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-109048617740746449?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109048617740746449'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/109048617740746449'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/07/today-was-one-fiiiiiiiiiinnnneeee-day.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-109016435237605060</id><published>2004-07-18T23:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-07-18T23:26:02.236+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>o what an inspiring day today.. hee.. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;well, comparatively, today was a fantabulous day. Went to pick sop up this morning, before going to church together. We were a little late for sunday sch, but weren't the latest though. hee.. anyways.. back to sunday sch again was quite a refreshing thing, considering the past month or so, we haven't been having sunday sch lessons.

And as i sat there at the bus stop.. i dont noe why, but i was just so filled.. with.. i dont even noe wad i was experiencing! It's just that my mind was suddenly filled with so many things.. like a cloud hanging down in front of me. i din even feel like tokking or laughing, for once.&amp;nbsp; the bus came fairly quickly, and me, mel and jon boarded the bus. i alighted at paya lebar mrt, and thankfullythe train came almost immediately. As soon as i got into the train, i tried to find a seat, but din find one that i liked, haha.. so i stood by the train door, and looked out. i was feeling so so so terrible, and my heart was just so heavy. i guess i was just lethargic, plus i was feeling a little stressed and fearful of things to come.&amp;nbsp; i closed me eyes, and prayed for comfort. Then i started tearing.. (tried very hard to control crying). so i had to constantly wipe aways my tears so that no one in the train wld notice. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;finally, i decided to get a seat and sit. continued praying, and more tears came. but the tears came as a relief of some sort, cos i felt much much better after that, whereby i had the mood to read my gp package whilst in the train. but after a while, i realised that reading my gp package, was just sth to take my mind of wad i was feeling. as soon as i kept my notes in my bag, the thots and fears just came and overwhelmed me again. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;it was jsut too much for me to handle. i alighted at clementi mrt, and decided to take a cab home. upon getting into the cab, and telling the driver where i was heading, i slid down into the darkness of the back seat, started my mind rolling again. and i just cried silently to myself, oblivious to my surroundings.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#330033;"&gt;i just want to run&amp;nbsp;and hide...&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="slippers" src="http://images.quizilla.com/P/piratesmile/1075776428_esslippers.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Slippers- happy, sweet, and adorable, you are well &lt;br /&gt;loved by everyone.&amp;nbsp; People cannot help but like &lt;br /&gt;you.&amp;nbsp; You love to be surrounded by people that &lt;br /&gt;love you, who- in your case- is anyone.

cos the red cross was coming to my sch today for a blood donation drive. we were given a talk on blood donation last wk, and i was totally psyched bout donating blood.&amp;nbsp; and i was pretty shocked that my mum allowed me to donate, considering that i had some blood related problem 2 yrs ago. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;well, i was waiting the whole day till the time slot for the SB combination finally came.&amp;nbsp; my classmates and i all went into the hub, and got out registration forms. the moment i stepped into the hub, i started shaking like crazy man!! i was shaking soooo badly, partly due to the freezing temperatures of the hub, and mostly due to fear. after the registration, i had to go to the next station, where we all had individual consultations with the doctor. the doctor took my blood pressure, and checked my vein size. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;i almost died when he said this: okie, now i gotta check ur vein size first. cos if ur vein is too small, then u cannot donate, bcos the needle is quite big &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;like huh?? i was so scared that i cld have walked out that moment k!! haha.. but i persevered. a lot of my friends got rejected at this station cos their veins were too small.&amp;nbsp; i moved on to the next station after this.&amp;nbsp; the next station was where i had my blood test. yup.&amp;nbsp; they pricked my finger, took my blood sample, and dropped it in this solution thing, which supposedly measures iron content. if ur blood sinks in the solution, u're able to donate. if it continues floating, too bad-------&gt; BLOOD REJECTED.. haha.. thankfully my sank. so i moved on to the LAST station.. where i sat and waited for my turn to come.&amp;nbsp; had a good chit chatting session with my classmates there, who were all waiting for their turn to draw out blood.&amp;nbsp; the queue moved faster and faster, and before i knew it, it was my turn. i wanted to just walk away, and not donate anymore. i was filled with great fear, cos i saw my friend's donation. he lay on the bed, while the nurse gave him the local anaesthetia jab. he looked fine, saying to my friend and i" dun worry.. not pain not pain." then when the nurse inserted the needle connected to the tube, he scrunched up his face with pain!! when i saw him, i almsot died. but i decided to jsut go do it. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;so the nurse called me over to one of the beds. and&amp;nbsp;i climbed up onto the bed, while the lovely nurse covered me with a blanket. thank God i had a nice nice nurse. she was very nice. she kept tokking to me, asking me how i was and stuff. she left me there for awhile, then went to another area to get an empty blood bag, tube, needle, and local anaesthetia jab. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;when she came back, the cleaned my arm with some yellow solution, which is prob iodine or alochol.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;then she said to me: okie, now i'm just gonna give u a jab k? it's just a tiny needle that goes just beneath ur skin. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;then she jabbed it in, asking me at the same time: evrything okie? not pain right? &lt;br /&gt;me: it's alright. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;zfter she gave me the anaesthetia jab, she waited for a while, before saying:" alright, now i'm gonna insert the needle in yar? u wont be able to feel it." &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;i looked to my left and started tokking to my friend, so as not to see her put the needle(which was attached to the tube and bag) into my skin. then she gave me this squishy thing, and told me to keep squeezing it, so that mny blood wld flow.&amp;nbsp; then she left me to attend to another person. when i turned to look at my arm, there it was.&amp;nbsp; luckily, the lovely nurse covered the needle with a piece of gauze. so wad i saw was only the gauze on my arm, covering the needle, and the tube, pasted to my arm, and blood flowing thru the tube, the the blood bag hanging below my bed. i must say my blood flows pretty fast, cos when i looked at it in the first 3 mins, it was already like 1/4 filled!! scary sia. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;hahaha.. so there i was, just lying down on my bed, chit chatting, and taking pictures while donating blood!! hahaha.. very fun.. i mean, if it's once in a lifetime, it's fun. but for patients such as kidney patients, i'd say it's not fun at all. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;i lay there on the bed for 10 mins, till i thot my bag was gonna overflow with blood into the tube already!! finally, the nurse came, and she cut the blood tube, and let it flow into a bottle. she closed the blood bag, then removed the needle from my arm, put a gauze over it, and told me to apply pressure on it.&amp;nbsp; she then took my sealed blood bag away, to put it in this cooler chest to freeze the blood.&amp;nbsp; then she came back to me, and bandaged up my arm with a RED coloured bandage. hee.. how nice of her to give me a red one.. hahaha.. yea.. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;went aside to get some rest, a packet of milo, and some biscuits. well well.. it was a great experience today, and i feel kinda good, knowing that this blood of mine, could be used to perhaps save someone in need of it? hee.. yea.. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;but the bad thing is, i jsut removed my bandage awhile ago, only to find the wound still bleeding!! i did the blood donation at 4pm.. and at 930pm just now when i removed my bandage, it was still bleeding, after 5 and a half hrs!! sigh.. sure hope it stops soon.. hee..&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Amethyst" src="http://images.quizilla.com/S/Satine/1035726436_csAmethyst.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are an Amethyst.

THAT'S what's getting me so scared!! and i guess it's really working.. cos now, I'M getting stressed too!! which is perhaps good to a certain extent i guess. i guess my form tutor's pretty happy with us, cos for the first time(from what i remember), she walks into class, and the whole class(full attendance today!!) is sitting there doing their work, waiting for her!! haha.. our single pe periods are now considered free periods, cos those who obtained either a silver or gold for their pft test are excused from ALL single pe periods. which is absolutely perfect time for catching up with my work.. together with my classmates. yup. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, today, we had quite a lot of math periods, 3 periods with my form tutor today. except that the last period was pccg period, where she made us write down all our targeted grades for our prelims and a levels, as well as which uni we want to go to, and the course of study we wish to take. while sitting there writing down my targeted grades, i was surprised that i actually had to think for quite a while before writing down. i finally realised how far i am from my targeted grades, and how much more work and effort i've to put in to move that one step nearer my goal. sigh.. it's gonna be one long and tough journey to the end of the year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-108860954146281478?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/108860954146281478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/108860954146281478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/06/yup.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-108834857184212693</id><published>2004-06-27T22:59:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-06-27T23:02:51.843+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>for zgmights: in addition to the previous entry.. i just found out that W7 currently has 6 hits already!!! wad progress they've made!!! but they're not nice to their NICE fan club president!! hahaha.. hmph!! &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-108834857184212693?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/108834857184212693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/108834857184212693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/06/for-zgmights-in-addition-to-previous.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-108834723449647628</id><published>2004-06-27T22:33:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-06-27T22:43:58.610+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>today was aiight.. went to church at 9 with sop.. practiced a little of dance, and planned for the fun fair.. den went for service. after service, the zgmights went to HEARTLAND MALL for lunch at yoshinoya.. wow.. heartland mall's not too bad, i've never been there in my life!! hee.. anyways, after lunch, went back to church, and practiced the dance AGAIN.. this time, with great great vigour..

"in the blues?" i can't really find a word to describe, but it's as if there's this dark cloud hanging in front of me. yea.. after my gp lesson, i met up with sop in sch, before heading down to church together for dance practice.  the whole journey there, i was just in a daze, wasn't at all excited or close to looking forward to dance. hmmm, weird i'd say, but nevertheless, put up a smile to mask the dread. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when sop and i got out of the train at paya lebar, the weather wasn't that great at all, cos there were like dark clouds just looming in the sky.. even sop noticed that! hmm.. great, i thot. the weather supports my feelings. so when we finally arrived opposite church at the bus stop, sop and i decided to go get some food from the provision shop. i got chocolates, to try to increase my adrenaline? haha.. din really work though.  well well.. through dance practice, things got better i guess, the cheerfulness and laughs of the youths were truly infectious i guess.. *hee*.. yea.. so in a way.. indirectly, thanks to them, i felt a little better. haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dance practice was pretty good, cos now we've more or less got our formation all set already.. haha.. after dance, we went for dinner at s'pore post. AND WE HAD TO RUN FOR OUR BUS!!! aarrrrgghhh.. i haven't ran for a bus in a looooonnnnnggggg time.. i remember always running for buses during sec sch days.. at the bus stop opposite mg.. hahaha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyways, dinner was alright.. tokked loads of crap.. and i got to relive my childhood memories.. hmmm.. no no.. not childhood memories.. JC1 first 3 months memories i'd say.. haha.. cos i only learnt how to "shoot ice" in the first 3 months of jc1 when my class mate taught me how to.. hahaha... &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-108800860143208184?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/108800860143208184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/108800860143208184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/06/day-today-took-many-turns-in-many.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-108792491827965692</id><published>2004-06-23T01:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-06-23T01:21:58.280+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>i'm totally saturated with econs stuff.. nothing much happened today. i was pretty much home alone today with my younger sis cos my mum went shopping in m'sia!!! yea.. so i just stayed in my room like 3/4 of the day, staring at my econs notes. hmmm, i'm proud of myself though, cos i only took 2 breaks today!! lunch and dinner(plus tv) breaks.. hee.. din really manage to finish revising wad i had planned for today, but i guess i managed to accomplish most of it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sigh.. i'm totally exhausted now. gotta wake up early tmr to study some more econs, then go to sch for gp in the afternoon, followed by dance in church!!! weeeee... i'm totally psyched bout that!! hahaha... by the way, tmr's dance practice was my motivation to study so hard today!! hahaha.. okie, i better go sleep now, cos i'm pretty much crapping already.. haha&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-108792491827965692?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/108792491827965692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/108792491827965692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/06/im-totally-saturated-with-econs-stuff.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508989.post-108783676093176936</id><published>2004-06-22T00:50:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-06-22T00:52:40.930+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>hmmm.. i studied today.. hooray for me!=P &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;got this excerpt from joy's bulletin board on friendster, and i really think it's absolutely and extremely sweet!!! hee.. here goes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A girl asked a guy if he thought she was &lt;br /&gt;pretty, he said...no. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She asked him if he would want to be with her &lt;br /&gt;forever....and he said no. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She then asked him if she were to leave would he &lt;br /&gt;cry, and once again he replied with a no. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She had heard enough. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As she walked away, tears streaming down her &lt;br /&gt;face the boy grabbed her arm and said....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You're not pretty you're beautiful.

Last Friday, after tuition, I went to meet sop, then we took a train to kallang to meet some of the youths, namely, wenhao, changyuh, marcus, Vicki. Then after meeting them, we went to the macs nearby to get our dinner, before going back to the station to meet up with mel, and one of lynn’s friends. Then after that, we took a bus together to the indoor stadium.  Had to queue pretty long to finally get in for FOP. Well, it was extremely great! Hillsongs was there, and they led worship.  All I can say is that I was empowered by worship.  The feeling was great, seeing so many pple around u, all so passionate for Christ.  Our youths, including me, were all jumping while singing the songs of praise to Him.  It was a truly great experience. After FOP ended, all of us, including lynn, mich, jon, walked back to kallang mrt.  It was great though cos we were having loads of fun tokking crap while walking back to the station.  Lynn and I ended up cabbing home from kallang mrt.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day was ronny and rachel’s wedding.  I went to their church wedding in the afternoon.  It was not bad, then again, maybe it’s cos I totally enjoy going to weddings.  After their wedding, I went home to pack for church camp which was the next day!!! Anyways, yea.. managed to pack a bit. Then my family and some family friends had a mini bbq at my rooftop to celebrate my father’s bdae.  Ended quite late.  After which at 11pm in the night, I continued packing my bag for church camp.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday came pretty quickly, and I was so excited the whole morning just waiting to leave for church camp!! Hee.. church camp this year was majorly fun, just a tad bit too short.  This yr, church camp was held at sofitel palm resort.  The rooms were really really big and nice.  Well, services were relatively long, having 2 to 3 hr long services in the mornings and evenings.  Yup.. but the services din seem that long at all in the nights, when we had to do our “grp work” thing.  My grp was super fun, with bro roy, sis chiew kwan, tabby, Kenny, jon, mich, shan and i.  It was really really funny just hearing the things they come up with.  Haha..furthermore, tita pat's msges were all fairly empowering, and they spoke to me quite a bit. After service every night, without fail, the guys wld be asking, “who’s room”.  Then we’ll all go meet in one room to play card games, tok crap and order room service.  We ordered room service everynight!! Fries, apple crumble, finger sandwiches.. etc.. the first night, there was only jon, chang yuh, marcus, wen hao, paul, Joshua, me and shan who went to mich and lynn’s room. Then we played the “name game”!! it was really really fun.. haha.. laughed really really hard.yea.. hahaha… then slept at bout 2.30 am that night I think.  The second night, we pulled a surprise for Rachel and ronny who just came. We hid in their balcony rooms.. and surprised them when they finally came into their rooms.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the last night, all the youths went to wen hao’s room.  And we played the passing the coin game and a card game. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free and easy sessions in the after noon were okie.  We either bowled or played pool.  oh yah!! On the first afternoon, mich, shan and I paper marched Kenny!!! it was really really funny!!..hmmmm... let's see.. wad else bout the camp was memorable..oohhh.. the meals.  the meals were fairly alright i guess.. except that we had the friendly flies who visited us EVERY MEAL!!  haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sigh.. it's kinda sad now that camp's over.. it's like i've been seeing all of the youths the past four days from morning till night.. and now that it's over, it's back to life in s'pore.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyways.. did this quiz, which i got from mich's blog.. who got it from chris' blog.. yea..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;CENTER&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.half-asleep.com/pooh/interact/quiz/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img

type='text'></title><content type='html'>well well, yesterday was a blast!we had "FOR YOU" day in sch, whereby all of us could come to sch wearing anything we want. but of couse it'd be preferable if the classes had some theme, and dress up as one. and that's wad we did. our class dressed up as m&amp;ms!!!! hee.. it was really fun.. we bought those plain coloured giodano t shirts, and cut out the exact "M" u see on m&amp;ms.. den we pasted it on our t shirts.. den wore jeans/berms with our m&amp;m t shirts. it was tremendously fun cos the whole day was quite slack, kept taking pictures DURING our lessons, with our teachers and stuff.our pricipal and 2 vice principals also dressed up!! they were so cool!! they were decked in black pants, black top, and a black LEATHER jacket, and each wore a pair of sunglasses too!! wow, never knew they were such enthu pple!! the arts fac teachers all wore those victorian kinda dresses.. really cool. there was this sg class that came in pyjamas, both guys and girls!! so cute!!! den drea's class came as tourists..it was a somewhat enjoyable experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after sch, i got a lift home from laura and drea. then, at bout 8 plus, i met them again. it was raining so darn heavily at our place, so laura called a cab, then laura, drea and i cabbed down to town together. hmmm, the benefits of having ur own schoolmates living right next to u!! yea, we went to the delifrance at centrepoint where drea and laura had their dinner, while i just got a drink since i already had dinner at home. after that, minyi came to join us, then mark. after sitting at delifrance for quite a while, den decided to walk around centrepoint for a while first, but unfortunately, all the shops were kinda closed already!! so we went straight to rouge. just den, chua, fat and claire came. so i joined them. it was majorly crowded man, and we saw loads of ac pple, since it was supposedly an ac party. but then again, there were qutie a few organisers, so there were also pple from cj and rj as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the queues into rouge were so super long, thankfully, we went in with darren. darren had some privileges, so we got to bypass the WHOLE long queue and walk straight in!! like how cool is that.. hee.. yea..  the songs they played initially sucked till the max! but thankfully, it got better after a while.. yup.. so it was pretty fun. this is like the first time, i actually stayed till the whole party ended!! haha.. yea, den after the party ended, i cabbed home with drea and laura again..&lt;div

sch in our sch hall for a cheering practice, whereby after that, we had to go down to police academy as a whole sch, to support our sch ruggers in the rugby finals against our arch rival, rjc. i went thru the day, feelin excited and all, cos i kinda like watching rugby matches.. haha.. anyways, we, as ogls, we all paired up and were assigned into different buses, so as to get the pple in each bus, "hyped up" for the rugby match. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the rugby match was a very close one, and our ruggers really put up a tough fight, but UNFORTUNATELY, we lost.. it was really terrible, the whole feeling that was spread thru the cohord. everyone was absolutely shocked and stunned.. and for a moment, there was actually this silence that sliced thru the whole ac cohord, as the ruggers just fell to the ground in disappointment. it was bad enough that we lost today, since AC NEVER loses rugby. wad made it worse was the fact that we lost to RJ.. oh well, how those rj pple must be gloating like crazy now! the rj pple were really violent man!! no. 9 is one really really irritating guy. AND no. 8!! wah lau, no 8 from rugby is the worse, he din dare do anything to our ac ruggers on the field, but kept giving us the third finger!! like wad's his problem huh??!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was really upsetting seeing the ruggers crying and all. could tell that they were really really upset and disappointed. when my classmates and i went to talk to one of our classmate who played in the match, we really din noe wad to say. but seeing him, really made me wanna cry, in fact, i teared. sigh, i sure hope the j1's this yr will really bring the gold back to ac once again next yr..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the match ended, u cld really see a really distinct line between the rj pple and the ac pple. i'm sure the "rival thing" has just been taken to a higher level.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the match, i went with some of my classmates to taka for dinner.. yea.. then came home after that.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to end of this entry, here's a shout out: well done ac rugby.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6508989-108558573389997355?l=chainedhope.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/108558573389997355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6508989/posts/default/108558573389997355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chainedhope.blogspot.com/2004/05/well-well-todays-been-one-heck-of.html' title=''/><author><name>chainedhope</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518514664350683183</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
