1 more week to school reopens. 4 more wks to exam. hurrrr....i've already planned my to-do-list after the exam.

Firstly, i'm gonna cut & dye my hair. But not sure what colour suits me!

Next, i'm gonna find a job, a part-time job. And then find a second job during dec that i can work with vinz. Kinda difficult, i know.

Then, plan a trip to Genting in dec! yay...
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, this week's schedule is boring as usual. Only thurs and Sat are filled. I have no $$$ to shop. Sad huh. 2months of holidays and i din even shop for any clothes. My closet has only 20+ tops and 8 bottoms. But some tops are really worn out, thks to Mum, always insists on dumping them into the washing machine when they have to be hand-washed. So almost every week in school i would wear the same thing.

On a happier note, I've got a new hp. Motorola L6 Pink. It costs $0 for upgrading. Hmm...ironically, the phone has been out for quite a long time. So, i should say i've got a new old hp. HAHA...crappy..
Oww, the camera is bad. It doesn't set the actual photo size in the wallpaper. tsk tsk. But becoz of its slim and stylish design, i accept it.

Looks like i've to declare myself bankrupt soon. Money isn't easy to get into my pockets. Firstly, my web isn't doing well,partly due to the laziness in advertising in the communities. Secondly, i thought the tuition assignment will not be cancelled since everything has already been finalized, but NOooOO! The parent gave me a call the day before the tuition, and told me that her daughter had something on so she will call me again to confirm the timing and date for tuition again. Till now, i have not received a damn call from her.

Yea, it is quite impossible to tuition her daughter this week IF she wants to pass her PSLE Maths, because the exam is on 5th OCT. There's not much time. I do not want to call up the parent as well. Well, she should have told me directly instead of lying to me.

*Beware. The evil in me speaks now*

Anyway, chalet was fun and i had a greaaat time with vinz. We ate so much so much so much during that 2 days. But i din gain much. Hmm...maybe about 0.5 kg. I'm a big eater k. But it's so difficult for me to gain weight. I'm certainly NOT on diet. So please, don't always annouce to people that i'm on diet. You think is funny? I don't think so. I know am thin and if you keep saying i'm on diet, people might think negative of me. Adding further, i've no weekly allowance or whatever. So please shut your mouth when you see me not eating or being thrifty. Or else i'll force and pester you to treat me!

*pEaCe*

2006-09-19T14:10:00.000+08:00

Oww...the website isn't doing great as i 've expected. Extremely disappointing. But nevermind, setting that aside, i've got my FIRST tuition assignment starting on this friday. Sadly, it's just a short assignment of only 2weeks. The student who i'm going to tutor is in Primary 6 level, and PSLE is nearing. She/He needs a lot of help in maths (got a Ugrade). So i hold a very important responsibility as i'm the one they hired to push up he/her grade. I will try my very best and build up my reputation in this tutoring sector. hahahaha...crappy. Anyway, the pay is $80 and $20 has to be paid to the agent as commission. That leaves me with $60 bucks. NOT BAD! haha..4lessons for $60 for 1 subject. Others teach a few subjects and got paid $60-$80 for the 8 lessons including commission to agent. Haha...yea...happy =)

Tomorrow will be having chalet with vinz. We've planned a list of exciting activities to do during the 2 days!!! haha. But i'm lazy to type them down...hahahahah...so too bad la. wahaha...

2006-09-09T00:24:00.000+08:00

hey hey hey! Oh my god, i've neglected this blog of mine for quite some time already! But anyway, guess not many ppl read this blog also..haha..nvm.

Most projects are over and done with. Left Pmi interview and MI report submission next week. This week is simply relaxing! Thanks to OB cher who gave us a week break- no lectures and tutorials, yayness. Anyhow, MI presentation was great. We gave in our very best and our efforts were well complimented. Never did i thought that 'dua pek gong' would actually praise our slides and etc. Thats way cool man...i cant ask for anything more...i'm totally satisfied with all these :)))
Oh yes, i wanner thank xiu and elaine for going all the way down to Parkway again just to take a few photos for MI presentation slides. If not for those few 'visual evidences', our presentation wouldn't be so perfect...yay..

Before i hop into my bed, i wish Singapore a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! zZZzz

2006-08-05T18:35:00.000+08:00

Finally, this super hectic busy-rushing-for-projects-cum-quizzes week is over! haha. but there's still 3 more weeks for this month to come to an end. Argh...i have a presentation to do next wk. Frankly, i have no confidence in describing the graphs well and carry out my analysis substantially. But i hope 'dua pek gong' can understand what i'm trying to say and hopfully be lenient to us; since my group is the 1st to present.

As for the following week, there will be a PMI project interview which i'm not looking very much forward to. I know i'll be awfully dead for that sickening tcher is bias-cum-brainless and i've left a terribly bad impression on him. Basically, it's because my 1st interview was such a lousy one to him. Worse to come, he caught me cheating in his quiz as well (in fact, 90% of the cohort cheated in the LT). So in conclusion, i've no hopes in getting a good grade for this coming interview. (sobbing...)

But on the other hand, 24th of Aug is my oral and i'm dying to it well this time. I've been trained weekly and i earnestly hope that all my efforts would not be wasted. *praying hard to be alert and eloquent on that day*

Well, anyway, here is an announcement to everyone- i've cut my hair short! i feel so much cooler and lighter. My hair is easier to manage now...well...back to short-hair days. i like :)))

Life is getting too hectic nowadays, even for polystudents like me. Yes, it's true that poly has a lot more freedom than secondary schools and JCs. But when it comes to projects and presentations, i beg to differ that poly isnt so 'free' afterall.

These few weeks have brought much damage to my brain cells and health. The meet-up-for-project-after-school has been a daily routine for me and the rest. Could you imagine each of us has to handle 4 projects in a month? There are plenty of stuff to do: research, data collection, data analysis, graphs plotting, calculations, presentation slides etc. Whoa...madness! A period of insanity, indeed. I'm so fatigue and sleepy by the time i got home. The first thing i would head for is none other than my bed! But because of this, i often slept b4 i say my goodnight to vincent. Poor him...always has to wait for my msg when i'm in my wonderland =S

Anyhow, apart from projects, we have quizzes to study for as well.

Mon: decision analysis
Tues: Cds & pmi
Thurs: OB
Fri: accountings

Whoa... GOOD LUCK to me and K503! (dont get the quiz mixed up)

2006-07-22T01:03:00.000+08:00

Ahh...a busy week, it has been. Stayed back after tutorials for 2 projects. From 10am+ to 7pm. Did pretty much,but i thought we could have finished 1 report if not for the on-and-off DAIDEE!! haha. I cant deny that the game is addicting. Zhixiu kept winning and claimed that she is the DAIDEE QUEEN, okay, whatever la! So that left Elaine and I to stop her winning streak. However, luck wasnt with me most of the time. Or should i say i'm not good at that game? haha...I won so little..dotz.

Anyhow, I got a D for PMI. It sucks. My interview sucks and so is that interviewer. He sucks. Seems like 'sucks' is the only word i can use whenever i see/mention him. hmm....he SUCKS. okay i've said enough. There's a major project interview in August, that's even worse. I'm demoralized by that pathetic marks i've got. Eeek....it totally sucks! I just hope to pass that stupid subject. grrrr

Oh ya, caught Pirates and i thought it was slightly above average. I give it 3.5/5 stars. People, dont wait for the very last part after the credits. It is just 3second short. The credits seem neverending... you get it? haha...*yawnz*

I went on cruise (Star Virgo) on friday evening and got back this morning. It was quite enjoyable, not as bad as i thought. You see, my parents forced me to go and so i wasn't anticipating for anything at all.

Anyway, i sort of relaxed a bit, and i think i've gained some weight too haha. The on-going eating almost burst my stomach, seriously. There were 3 restaurants for everyone, FREE-OF- CHARGE. On the day we checked in, we had our dinner at a restaurant, and then we moved on for our second round at Mediterranean Buffet. Oh my god, do you think this tiny little tummy of mine was able to contain so much food? The anwser is, YES! I totally gave in my greed to the buffet! I had cakes, fried stuff, eggs, coffee, juice, fruits....and the list goes on. I did wasted quite an amount of food haha..i was practically doing 'food-testing' there.. =) I did the same thing each day, leaving the buffet indulgence to my second round. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper- my stomach is filled with food 24hrs. I swear i never get hungry on the cruise at all. lol...alright..enough for food. Lets go on to other parts.

hmm...so when mum and dad were playing mahjong, i took my time to explore the entire cruise. Gosh, the sea is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. It was cloudy on the 'Andaman Sea' and there were no other ships or mountains around the boundaries. I felt like i was in a paradise. Sometimes, i wish i could run away from the cities- where there are no buildings, no roads, no hectic life. But i know very well that my wish can never be granted.

I watched a couple of performances in 'The Lido Theatre' too. The theatre is indeed stupendous. Caught 'Memoirs of Geisha' again at 'Pictures Delight' as well(i hope i din named the place wrongly).

Okay, now to Casino. Ah huh! What a harmful place it is! I actually went in about 4-5 times i think? I followed my parents and watched them losing money here and there. Mum played Baccarat and won a lil on the 1st day. Dad kept playing Jackpot...it's so stupid to play that la...it's too difficult to strike 1. I helped to play a few times and got so bored by it. I prefer Baccarat & Roulette, they can also be tricky at times though. Thats why Mum lost quite a lot. My life was so close to death staying in the Casino. Smokers were around me and i had a hard time breathing. I feel so unheathy. damn!

Think thats all i've for now... i'll be back *wink*

2006-07-11T14:27:00.000+08:00

Lunch-time band performance was a blast! *ahem* my 'blast' here means too loud, too noisy! ahh..anyway the passer-bys were quite appreciative & supportive, i thought. At least some stayed throughout the entire performance :))

Now i'm in MI lab. I'm starving! ahh...i accidentally deleted my databases after typing for 20mins. I gave up man! hahaha..it's bad for my eyes anyway. What a tiring day....

I hope i can endure the hunger pangs till 5plus or 6....gonna go TM to get some stuff after lect. 1 more hour to go.................................*grrr*

2006-07-01T20:17:00.000+08:00

It's been a week since school reopened and i'm still feeling tired every day- energy drained due to multiple projects that haven't been done much during the term break. So next week I'll be busier to the fact that OB project is due on Thursday, and we only did a quarter of it. Tomorrow, I'll be meeting with MI project groupmates to handout surveys at the foodcourt near Bugis. But shopping spree and OB project discussion first with Elaine in the morning. Ahh..there are so much that i need and wanner do!!!! going insane!!!

Anyway, i met vin in the morning. Our main purpose was to study, but we ended up sitting in the cinema theatre watching 'Scary Movie 4'. Vincent, you are suppose to study!!! Don't get distracted until your examinations are over!!! haha..

Anyhow, the movie was indubitably hilarious, nonsensical, and gross. The most funny part is the conversation between Cindy and Ju-On. They spoke to each other in terms of Japanese brands and food rather than proper sentences. I could hardly stop laughing at their conversation. That was a brilliant idea to make the audiences laugh. Other than that, I guess you have to watch it so u could feel the absurdness of the movie.

Scroll down to the next entry to watch that part..

2006-06-23T15:59:00.000+08:00

I've selected the subjects for my last CDS this morning. i was unable to make up my mind as usual. Not that there were many interesting subjects for me to choose, but i was rather confused of how i should rank my 5 selections. At last, after abt half an hour, i reached a resolution.

I picked 'Food Hygiene' as my 1st option (though i know it's hard to get in, i seriously need time for year 2.2, the subject is pure E-learning you see). For my 2nd option, i chose 'Introduction to OTC Medication'. I've always hoped to study medical stuff, probably my Mum influenced me- She's a nurse =)))

As for the 3rd, i put down 'Introduction to French culture & language' , Bon jour! haha. Frankly, i want to learn a new language so much so much, but this year end i may have to go for the operation, and thereafter attend speech therapy. i'm so worried that i cant speak properly for a period of time. Hence, i couldn't set that subject as my 1st choice.. But on the other hand, if there are no vacancies left for me for the 1st 2 choices, and i get French as my CDS, i will be happy. Contradicting isn't it? i'm like that. Let's leave it to my destiny. Let's hope that the operation and stuff wont interfere.

As for the 4th, i chose 'Creative Writing'. I've nothing to explain why i made this decision. Well, 'Music: Expression & Application' is my last choice. I'm not really keen to take up that subject but i guess i may do well for it. Anyway, last choice is usually redundant.

Alright, that's all for today. Goodbye!

2006-06-22T20:30:00.000+08:00

The day started alright for me because Mum and Dad returned from Genting this morning. Poor me, i've been eating as little as 1 or 2 meals a day since Tuesday. Argh, i know i cannot lose anymore weights and i certainly have to put on weights, 8kg the most!

It was quite a fruitful day for me i guess. Having completed my part on OB project was a huge damage to my brain. i took an hour or so cracking this solid brain of mine, it was surely not working during this holidays for i've been slacking duh. Anyhow, after that brain-therapy session, I watched 'Poseidon' dvd with Mum. She bought it for $6 only, haha. I thought the movie was unstimulating, boring and lacks content. Well, maybe to some of you, you will be stunned at some of the scenes but i was certainly not. And i thought the ending was a great disappointment . You can imagine me saying 'HUH' when the movie ended. haha...i give it 2 out of 5 stars. I guess even the future movies on shipwreck won't win over 'TItanic'. The tension and romance were all blended perfectly in that movie, dont you agree with me? Much less to mention on the theme, i still love the song 'My heart will go on'.

Well, it's 9pm now, time for TV mania. See ya :)))

2006-06-20T01:37:00.000+08:00

I can feel this pressure on me.
I am escaping from reality...
The amount of work and effort that
i've to put in, is not as easy as you think.
So much reluctant within me, can anyone
bring me out of this misery?

Energy drained. Brain disfunction. Effete period.

Humans longing for freedom
but they are lock up by the non-livings.
See how fascinating life is!
Neverending work comes neverending responsibilities.
Fatigued or incapacitated,
well... life still goes on....

band camp was fun but exhaustive. We had sectionals and combined band practices for 2 days. My lower lip is so badly hurt by my braces, ouch. I cant talk and pronounce properly, so i shall talk lesser now for the moment. Anyway, i will be slacking ard at home tml.

Hmm, here is a lil recap of the camp's program:

1st day
We played games but i the only one i like was Water Fun! Luck was with me when i played scissor,paper, stone...haha. I actually won 6times consistently! So i got to splash water straight onto my opponents' faces, but i excused the girls of coz, i'm a nice girl :))). After which, we went for sectionals and combined practices. Gosh, my lips has 2 ulcers la. haiz...what a torture for me. Shall fast forward to Movie Mania.

We watched 'Music from the heart' in the lecture theatre at 10pm+ till abt 1am. The story is about a violin teacher, who doesnt have a proper certificate to enter a school, was accepted by a principal after showing how well she has taught her sons. Her teaching method was kinda strict and she is very straight forward towards her students too. However, all her students were well taught by her. Each of them has very good tone and foundation. Successively, she became popular and extended her number of classes. Her key of playing well on stage and off stage is to play every song from her heart. So that explains the title of the movie.

After the show, i went strolling ard the school with a few of my bandmates. There were many jokes and stuff happened but i'm lazy to type them out. haha. Anyhow, i slept at ard 3am+ till 7am?..yup...really uncomfortable to sleep on chairs. The carpet is dirty and smelly, it's impossible for me to sleep on it.

2nd day
Took breakfast and carried on with combined band practice. So again, the ulcers in my mouth worsen and in fact, my lower lip is swollen. At 5pm+ we were dismissed and i headed straight home.

^Home Sweet Home^

2006-06-04T18:17:00.000+08:00

*vrrrmmm* term test is coming and my engine is ON now. First paper is on Accountings and i'm glad i've cleared my doubts after much self-analysation (0_k). But there are 2 more subjects to go, and i hope i can sustain this movtivation in me now. Anyway. by Fri 4.30pm, i'll gain my freedom back!

Yesterday was absolutely FUN! I met vinz in the morning and we studied a tiny bit in kfc. Then, probably i was too bored to study, i told him that i wanner go for 'Balloon Hats Festival' at Sentosa Palawan Beach. I wasn't serious but HEY, vinz actually didnt mind to go! He packed his stuff real soon, grabbed me and flashed out of kfc instantly. But thank goodness, everything seemed to go smoothly for us. We needn't have to wait for the buses and we didn't miss out any band performance. We were just on time to listen to Yuhua sec. Next, it was River Valley's turn. After that, we took a stroll by the beach and crossed the bridge to the other side. The view was breathtaking..i love it.

Unfortunately, we were unable to catch the main parade because i had to meet my relatives for BBQ at Changi Village, and vinz had to meet his family for dinner.....

Talking about the BBQ, there was nth much for me to eat cause they were mostly seafood. But luckily my English cousin (Sebastian, 7years old) was there to entertain me. He's a real smart kid man, and a super naughty one. One scene that i found absolutely hilarious was this:

When Sebastian saw my mum taking the crabs out of the pail,

He asked: "How much are these?"

Mum replied: '$35"

He: "I pay you $40, so you will have $5 of profit. Take it or leave it."

Mum: "what's that for?"

He: "I'm gonna put them back into the sea!"

LOOK! how smart he is at this age!...talking about profit & loss!? hahaha...i was surprised by him man. I wonder how he wld turn out to be when he is much older...

Alright, sorry for ending my entry in such a rush. Time to get back to books!!...study hard people!!!

2006-05-24T15:39:00.000+08:00

Here's a lil recap of what we had on my bday...

My all-time-favorite, Breaded Chicken!! *mamamia*.
From Swensens.

Vincent had this, Mixed Pepper Chix...very tasty & succulent.
=)))

Apple Crumble!!
it's damn sweet oh my gosh. Every thing is hot except for the vanilla ice-cream. When u eat the 3 together, the contrast will bring your lost soul back to your body, it's fantastic! gonna try Banana Crumble e next time =)))

I HAD A GREAT TIME! <3

2006-05-20T10:44:00.000+08:00

*cough cough* i'm here to announce that pearlyn is sick at the moment...*ah cheeew*
I'm having a bad flu and throat irritation for 3days already!!(wrong timing man). I've been sucking strepsils every day, i hope i won't get addicted, though i know i never would.

School has become more stressful for me, thanks for the upcoming projects. I have 5 projects that needed to be excuted in a few wks' time! but honestly, i'm still in my holiday mode. =)
Next week will be the first OB (Organizational Behaviour) Quiz and I'm so lazy to study for it. I haven't even get the copies of the chapters tested yet...it's been 4 wks! Yeaa..fail man. This month of May is really fun and too busy for me - there are simply too many events and holidays to celebrate. I've been eating a lot of fried stuff and sumptuous meals, i think that explain how i got sick. But May hasn't ended yet!! There's a wedding dinner at Crown Hotel tonight and of cause i won't miss all the heavenly good food!! hahaz. And what's more to come?? SUNDAY- Our 2yr anniversary eve-eve-celebration!! Hmm...what shld we eat this time??lolx

Apart from all these, lets go on with the MJCSB Joie de vivre concert last night.
Overall, it was great (set aside the obvious mistakes they made). I enjoyed myself, probably becoz of the atmosphere of excitement and enthusiasm. Oh gosh, my eardrums almost burst by their hordes of screaming 'fans'. Sadly, there was no encore piece due to time constraint. oh yah, vinz u did a good job in ur solos =))))))))))

*cough cough* alrigth gotta rest now...may God bless me, amen.

2006-05-07T20:02:00.000+08:00

It's been nearly a week since I last blog. I'm getting busier day by day, so pardon me for my infrequent bloggings.

Anyhow, I went back to visit the Chinese physician and started the medication 2 days ago. He advised me not take any seafood and snacks, but drink lots of chrysanthemum tea or green bean soup. It is difficult to stop eating food that i like, especially prawns! I won't say that I love prawns very much but they are everywhere! Like yesterday, mum cooked prawns and I have to eat it coz no one else is eating. And worse, there are a lot more in the refrigerator! I have to be more discipline now onwards. If not, I will never ever recover from 'feng mo'. *finger crossed*

Let's go on to today's outing with vinz.

We had our lunch at Pizza Hut at Compass Point. We ordered the Zing & Zest Splitzza; there are hams and mushrooms. The portion is large and i took quite a long time to consume 3 slices. The ham was succulent indeed, but the mushroom one was much tastier. And i love to put the cheese very generously onto the pizza, yummy! I told vinz i could drink a cup of cheese, and he gave me a stupefied look. hahaz

After filling our empty stomach, we moved on to shop for my present (bag). We've walked into almost every shop but I still couldn't find one that I like. Say me fussy, choosy, picky, finical, persnickety, demanding...whatever! Blame the designers for designing so many nice and sporty bags that can't even fit an A4 size paper. I'm looking for a capacious shoulder bag (not round shape) to put my lecture notes and stuff. Actually, I've spotted a Nike bag but it's expensive. I think it can't really fit in my thick set of lecture notes and books as well. Dotzzz

I need a pair of casual sandals too. I have 3 pairs that are soon to be worn out. I need a pair of covered-shoes since last semester. My pumps are not making it for me. I want to get snickers or Converse shoes, anything that match with my jeans and skirts. I want (...) and the list goes on...................................................................

I've uploaded some photos in the previous entry, check it out.

2006-05-07T19:47:00.000+08:00

I'll never forget the moments we had *cheers*

2006-05-01T00:00:00.000+08:00

okay, i've just recovered from a 'usual shock'. just now my mum really scared the hell out of me.
she had fits again while playing the mahjong. this is the 7th or 8th time but it isn't a good thing tt the number increases, though her relapses are already common to me and my family.

i was in the room surfing the net & actually sensed sth was going wrong at the living room somehow ( due to the previous experiences). I heard mum's frens asking her why she doesnt hit her card, then i stopped and listened, i heard mum laughing, so i thought she's alright and continued doing my things. but soon after, her frens sounded very frightened and called for me. when i opened e door, i saw mum trembling and drooling saliva non-stop. For goodness sake, her frens are nurses as well and they din even try to calm her down! anyway, i quickly woke my dad up and he helped mum to massage her head n shoulder.Mum then began to recover. It was really devastating to see mum sitting there helplessly la!

Mum was too tired and exhausted already but yet she still loves to play the mahjong. Haiz, we've warned her umpteen times but she still doesnt listen. i cld rmb her first time having fits. It was so much worse than tonight. That happened in the midnight ard 1am, 6yrs ago. I was in the room surfing the net while brother was watching TV in the living room. Again, i heard her frens asking my mum what happen to her and why isnt she moving. Followed by, i heard them shouting mum's name. I quickly dashed out my room and saw brother holding mum.Her shirt and the carpet were covered with so much blood! Luckily the aunties were nurses and they instructed me to get a spoon to put into my mum's mouth to stop her from biting her tongue. I was really afraid to stuff it in coz she was biting her tongue real hard and blood just kept profusing non-stop, her eyes were rolling and my hands were stained with blood. So my bro helped me and i called for the ambulance. Dad then rushed back and accompanied mum to the hospital.

Good thing tt mum is able to control herself better in the subsequent relapses, drooling saliva rather than blood. I'm really scared of losing her or if anything happened to her.

I have to be more BRAVE!!!!!

2006-04-29T11:57:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a truly unforgettable night. I took the PLCB airplane & reached PLMC, cool uh? hahaz. If you dont know what i'm talking about, forget it, means you haven't been reading my blog entries, heh. Anyhow, the flight was great great great! Bravo! The passengers were on high spirit man. PLCB did a marvelous job, they had improved so much, i'm so proud of them. i was completely mesmerized by their 'Sea Breeze' What a good saxaphone soloist, she was so calm throughout. she had such a great stamina! Everyone stood up applausing non-stop for her when she played the ending of the song with tt 'whiny & sexy' feeling. From then onwards, i believe she will be popular in no time.

Anyway, the alumni did an okay job. We cut down to 1 piece only coz we did not prepare really well for Chorale. It's better than cancelling the whole performance, which was taken into consideration by the tcher & Mr. Tan. I took a few photos here & there but havent got the chance to get it from frens yet. So i guess i'll have to wait for a couple of days to upload it.

After reaching my destination, vinz fetched me home. Havent been seeing him for a week, i miss him! Took a few shots with him as well. we'll be shopping for my birthday prezzie tml...yay. turning 18 soon.... i love being a sEveNteEn-year-old girl.... argG. Nvm... i like 20-yr-old tooo...haha. CRAP! Whatever~
Just stay young.

so sch reopened with some suprises for me! haha. I've seen a lot of new faces here and there, and i really miss the life of my 1st year in TP! there'r so many freshies and looks like they've been enjoying their Orientation uh.

hmm, I rmb tt i wasnt 'high' nor 'on' when i was a freshie.i was rather 'dao' & quite bored by the activities and cheers etc. lolx... but my mentors were really helpful la. 1 of them is super talkative, always hear him chatting and nonsense-ing haz. i just cldnt get 'crazy' without my good bunch of friends in PL... i miss the outings with them sad sad. we are in different schs and courses now. we have different dreams and hopes. but all of us have the affinity to be in the same sec and class, and i treasure that.

1st day of sch was extremely boring, as usual. i hate to wait for lectures. Having an hr break b4t the last lect is a waste of time man. otherwise, i cld have been home at 5+ and take a nap. Anyhow, mum returned from work and she got me a new top & a blazer for my gooood results!! BEAU-tiful~ i love it man. the top is light green with spaghetti straps followed by a few layers of cloth. it looks like a tango costume haha. the blazer looks smart and its colour(teal) fits the top incredibly well. altogether, i can wear it for presentation! yayness.

And today, i had 3hr break b4 my last lect coz there are no labs this wk. So went to mac with a grp of frens- drank, chat, laughed and slept. i was so tired the whole day. woke up at 6.50am and attended cds lab(2hrs) at 8am, and he dismissed us in less than an hr. grrr...i really hate to wait and wait and wait, a waste of time. But all this is going to end very soon and tutorials/labs will start next wk. yes!

2006-04-20T14:09:00.000+08:00

3 more days to school reopens and i've got my new timetable already! Initially, i hated the schedule coz of the CDS i was given -- Introduction of Project Management. It wasnt my 1st choice, and i dint get my 1st choice for the previous semester as well, how nice of them huh. I did registered early in the morning on the 1st day of registration (1st come 1st serve basis). But i still did not get want i want, that is Food Hygiene. *grrr*

Despite that, i managed to console myself though, lol.4 of my classmates got into the same CDS as me, yayness. i wont be alone anymore! Further more, this subject is real slack from what i heard from my frens la. But shld i be happy or be disappointed? My 1st CDS was already freaking slack and i realised that i have to pick up a more useful subject to help me along with in the future. But i think i'll just have to surrender myself to my destiny; take it, move on and do my best :)))

Somehow i thought my timetable looks good. Not too busy, but i still have lots of things to do other than schoolwork. i wont tell you what i'm busy with, you will know it when the time comes, haha. Here's my new schedule...

Mon- 12pm to 6pm (Bp. @ 6.30pm-9pm)
Tues- 8am to 4pm
Wed- 9am to 1pm
Thurs- 9am to 4pm
Fri- 9am to 12pm (Bp. @ 6.30pm-9pm)

(Total: 28hrs of torture in school per wk, excluding bandpracts)

2006-04-15T16:37:00.000+08:00

caught the 'Keeping Mum' at J8 with vinz yesterday, after having lunch @ hrtland mall. If you haven't watch the movie, you might think it is interesting becoz of Rowan Atkinso's (Mr.Bean) appearance in tt show. But you are SO ABSOLUTELY WRONG!! the show is boring, unexciting and a little absurd.

(A short review of the movie)
Grace was expecting when she was found guilty for manslaughtering her husband and mistress. But she was released many years later. So when she gained her freedom, she travelled to a small village to be a housekeeper at Walter Goodfellow's (Rowan Atkinson) house. Her definition of keeping house is unique, and she has a very unusual way of solving problems...

Walter is a pastor who is so obsessed with writing the perfect sermon that he is oblivious that his wife Gloria's dalliance with her brash golf instructor. Gloria feels her life is spiralling out of control. She's sick of the incessant barking of the dog next door, her loveless marriage and her kids' escapades - she prays every night for salvation. Enter Grace, she answered the prayers; killing the dog and its owner and Gloria's lover. When all these were exposed, Grace then revealed her actual relationship with Gloria. All that she had done for Gloria though seemed too unacceptable, her sacrifices for her daughter showed us how magnanimous and noble a mother can be.

i give it 2.5 out of 5 stars.

2006-04-09T18:07:00.000+08:00

this week is totally boring, lifeless and unexciting. i spent most of the time slacking @ home. just imagine me lying on my bed restlessly, staring at the ceiling like am hypothized or sth, thinking of what to do next..or rather for the next day. u may describe me now as a 'swaddled lump of flesh'. now take a look at this...

1. wake up
2. wash up
3. grab sth to eat while watching tv
4. and watch tv
5. bathe
6. online/carry on watching tv
7. dinner
8. back to watching tv
9. chat with vinz
10. sleep

This is my daily routine. humdrum isnt it? lol.

only met up with vinz on friday for lunch & gave out some useless leaflets at parkway.
Saturday --traveled to pl for band pract. it wasnt as bad compared to the previous practs. some ppl just joined and some just disappeared for no good reason. No commitment. well, we only left 2 more practs and i hope we can make that night a memorable one.

Oh yeah, i changed the blogskin a few days ago. Isnt it cool? i love green...esp lime green :)))
alright, pls enjoy your stay here.
Here's playing for you guys -- "Don't Dream Is Over"

meow meow

2006-04-01T16:28:00.000+08:00

i cldnt wake up this morning on time. Surprisingly, i was able to open my tired eyes before 8.30am, which i supposed to leave the house at, in order to have some time to prepare myself. however so, i left @ 8.45. i must admit that i cant be early or be punctual, only be late or never be there.So, this is one of the areas i will try to improve myself on. :)))

Coincidentally, germaine was at the bus stop too. along with our conversation, i found out that she had worked for the same tuition agency as me. haha. being a tuition coordinator isnt an easy job, is far more difficult than u think. I had a hard time looking for students who want tuition, even if i gave out 600 leaflets. my phone is so silent,as still as a statue, lying on the table for the whole day. i wld be so delighted if i received a call from someone who needs tuition. please God, help me! just 1 call will do and i'm satisfied.

Anyhow, back to the topic. Both of us reached the bandroom at ard 9.20. we started with "Chorale & Shaker dance" and then we went on with "Selection from Cats". Well, Cats was 1 of my favourite pieces. Flashbacks left sweet nostalgia upon playing it. i love the saxaphone part! is totally romantic! my heart wld just melt whenever i hear it. Adding on, the entry of the clarinet parts with 2nd timing of saxaphone just doubled the sensational emotions in me.

Fast forward to the airport. Shirin, charlene and I went to pick Eudora, who just came back from Perth. While waiting, 3 of us were starving and i cld hear my stomach grumbling. We waited for half an hr or so, kind of getting impatient already...for our food tt is lol. After meeting her, we moved on to bk to fill our very empty tummy.

**4 more weeks to school reopens. i am looking forward to it. i miss schooling!

2006-03-19T14:05:00.000+08:00

it was HPB (Health Promotion Board) Dinner & Dance and my mum had an extra

ticket...so i went along with her. I tot the organization and performances were good la..

the MC was humorous as well. There were singing competition (3 contestants) , games (EST) etc. Our first dish was a mystery, it was covered with a piece of white cloth. so when the mc asked us to open it together...guess what?? is an umbrella! haha. but to my surprise, the 2 aunties beside me were very funny la...they actually stood up and opened e umbrella and "haha-ing", they were HIGH man. So next dish was carrot+chicken+potatoe soup, followed by roasted chicken with crackers, steamed fish, hokkien mee, mushroom+veg, doufu, prawns, mixed fruits and brownies. yeaa... was hoping for sharkfins actually whahaha...but dunch have. Anyway, it was very filling. Alright...shall stopped here and continue watching my xiao xin vcd. bye guys...

Wednesday

Steamboat craze once again. met bel & jy and shopped @ bugis b4 heading to marina bay.

then met mich xinni n puiyen at the mrt station. we waited for like 20mins for the bus la..there were so many ppl as usual...we almost took a cab haz. we ate @ dragon village, which i think is one of the better steamboat there. we requested for 2 steamboat with 2 diff soup base, tomyam & chick. And i just stick to the tomyam coz i love it!! *yummy*. but when it comes to drinks there was a problem. we actually bought 2 bottles of soft drinks but we dont have cups. so no choice, we bought 3 cans of drinks and bought another 3 cups from the drink stall. the auntie actually knows tt we brought our own drinks but she still gave us a discount.*i dont get it lo*, coz she was scolding us in hokkien & she thinks tt we dont understand...hahaa..*weirdo*.

nvm...we just continue dumping all kinds of food into the soup and started bbq-ing. i had so much of satay and black pepper chicken...they just so delicious man. and jy just took crabs and dump into the soup!...i was kinda shocked..haha...and after that she said she not intending to eat the crab..hahaha...but the soup turned out to be much more tasty. we ate for abt 3 hrs den took our ice cream and walked two bus stops away while eating. reached home @ 10 plus...

Thursday

did nth much actually. woke up bathed and washed my clothes. then watched the 2nd disc of "la bi xiao xin"...watched from 2pm till 6plus...but still cant finish the disc..haha. i still left 3 more disc lo...wonder i need how many days to finish it...hope can last till thurs so that i can return it to vinz. his papers ending on wednesday and so thurs is the day to go relax ourselves..yay yay. but in the morning i've dental appt..*grrrr*...cant eat well for another 2-3 days le. how sad...hope sat band pract wont feel the pain man... *hurr*

2006-03-14T18:41:00.000+08:00

yest pl alumni band pract was real fun and hilarious. HAHA
we were all so excited to see 1 another la...i missed them and the fun
we had during secondary sch days. i reached there ard 5.15 den passed
by the juniors while walking towards the bandroom. i tot they wont recognise me but NO!, some of them still know who i am.hahaz. so i went in already and some of my juniors were just amazed by the clarinet i brought la..haiyo..nth special is just tt is very prestigious?not mine of coz, it belongs to vinz. so i'd a lil chat with them b4 bandpract starts. yest was our 1st pract and we estimated tt ard 25-30 ppl will be performing. yup...and dunno who was the one who suggested to play CHORALE & SHAKER DANCE ll hahahha. ya we played it... this song brought back so much so much of memories man.. i'll nv forget this piece in my whole life! to ppl who don't know why...the reason being.. tts the choice piece for SYF 2003! yeaa man.

i tot the pract was nt bad la coz most of them have alreaady stopped playing for a while le but they still maintain the tone..yeaa. think can do it really SUD(looking forward to the concert).
the solos were real funny man! ok, here comes jolene's sax solo...*she stucked at e 2nd note, we could hear the note suck in the instru and she was trying to blow it out*...so everyone of us laugh!!((whahahah)) but mr tan continued and next is my solo.....*my 2nd note squeaked!!* it squeaks very funnily okay, like 3 times in a row?! i dunno how i did it man, tt was a record for me ((whahahahah)). so everyone really burst out their laughter le and so did mr tan..((whahaha)). but later on we were alright le la. but whatever, allison will be playing tt solo coz she played it for the competition!....i cant hold the note and crescendo it till the 4th bar...my diaphragm cant take in so much air haha..and mr tan's speed is slow...tts worst ahah. But ms yeo said i improved le, so am kinda delighted la.

after the pract went hougang mall for dinner till 9plus den headed back home. yea...and today woke up at 8.30am and met vinz at 9.30am. we went changi airport bk. he was studying and i was playing worms with his hp...i love tt game!! den i received a call from tp band tcher-in-charge when i reached home. she asked me to return the instru tml b4 12pm coz they need to do stock checking and cant borrowed it out during this hols le. haiz...so tt means i have no instru for bandpract lo...oh wells...need to shang nao jing le..........

2006-03-12T15:04:00.000+08:00

FRIDAY

so tpcb concert is over at last and here comes my holiday!
i must say tt all our efforts are worth it la...though not many ppl
for the concert, i tot tt we did well :)))
thks for the guest players for helping us, they are very useful indeed, haz.
so we ended @ 9pm and soon after we had our photo taking session. the band is really
crazy in taking photos! they took here and there and everywhere like for half an hr or so,
non-stop. hahaz.. must wait quite a few days for me to upload the photos ba.. havent get it from
frens yet.

i felt more united with the band le..thks for the preparation and rehearsals etc. but the yr 3s are stepping down very soon and we have to build up the discipline and stuff of the band again, and since yr 1s are gonna join us sooner or later, is really a tough job for the community ppl. yea.

So, today am resting @ home the whole day alone..whee. i prefer to be alone at home...can do whatever i want haha. i slept till 2pm today, very tiring due to yest la. watched the pianist till 1.30am. what a great show, i pity those who lived there coz the nazi soldiers are so cold-blooded, evil, no conscience, no humanity at all. they just shoot at the ppl whenever they get irritated. threw them out of the house (as in threw them out of the window..) and they shoot them when they let them run away...trying to show-off their accuracy in shooting...what the.

So, let us be content with our lives now...and treasure the loves ones around us... haha

this is me

2006-02-25T00:49:00.000+08:00

oh yea...Ms Pearlyn Tan is BACK! haz...has been a year or so since i last blog!
wellz...many many things had happened during this short year manz. time really
flies like nobody business haz. and the main examination was over for me. had econs
today and oh god! it was such a killer!!...i think most of us are feeling horrible coz the
section C was so demoralizing. i had studied thoroughly, i swear. but..but...but my
mind just went blank @ the moment i read the qn. hahaha...nevertheless, i still throw
in whatever i know la...guess can pass on the dot ba. *praying hard*. as for maths and
qmethods, is alright for me i guess. made a few careless mistakes here and there haha.

So, torino ice dancing was amazing man!..am so inspired by them & felt the urge to
take up iceskating courses. BUT, it cost a bomb k. i just feel that i shld have carried on
in tap-dancing and learn more things since young. is really a pity to give up those activities u know. if i were to continue tap-dance courses, i think i will be really pro in it...am inspired by riverdance as well actually,hahaz. i had that talent okay, no kidding. better than clarinet...which i really felt a waste la..no proper band pract for a long time le and my skills are deproving.

So, this hols i gonna train myself le coz there ara 2 concerts coming up.
10th Mar, $5 @ TP auditorium.
PLCB & Alumni @ PLMC 7.30pm.
(other details will be confirmed).
