I've tried my very best
But I'm afraid in the end I still couldn't do it.
I didn't believe in anything,
Much less myself,
So how could I believe in love or myself?
I tried to run and hide
But it just keeps coming back.
No matter how far I keep running,
I just can't seem to escape from it's clutches...

Hey all, back again...Yesterday went to Fisherman's Village with my sec sch frens. At first there was supposed to be the 4 of us but last minute one of them backed out so it's left with me, Jason & Qihao again. *groanZ* I usually get stuck with the guys coz the gals in my class... *sigh* Dunno what the hell is wrong with them la... Was quite fun & interesting to chat about old times and all the stupid things we used to do in sec sch. Lolx =D Recalling back certainly brought back some good & bad (unwanted) memories. Memories that I would like to change if I could turn back time but...as you all know this is not possible coz firstly I don't have the 'Back To The Future' car! Haha... Ok getting lame again =P
Today slept in until around 11 plus then woke up to watch Huan Zhu Ge Ge.. Ya ya I know it's a repeat one but I missed some episodes last time so must watch it all over again lor... Went to Khat's house just now.. Ate an early dinner there even though I wasn't hungry but since her mum put all the food on the table, it would be rather rude of me not to eat it mah...So eat lor... Then her mum even pack some of the food for us to bring home! Cool or what!

YoZz everyone~ Sorry haven't been blogging for a long longgggg time, that's coz I was too damn lazy & also I didn't feel like blogging at all this week. No mood, no feeling, no nutting.
Let's recap, Mon was 1st day of SIP. All of us arranged to meet at the entrance but no one bothered to specify which entrance & that resulted in us being late. lolx. Anyway luckily Mr Chan didn't scold us. I was posted to the Microbiology lab and since it was a Mon, they were pretty busy. Therefore I spent the whole morning 'entertaining' myself with SOPs & some Microbiology Atlas. Haha. So bored until I nearly fell asleep at the bench. =D At least in the afternoon they let me do some urine plate streaking. =)
Been feeling so tired after work everyday that I dun feel like going anywhere after work. I just wanna go home, bathe & just become a couch potato. Heehee =D Life suxs! NO PAY! Today Alvin said he's probably gonna call Mr Poh to ask whether we can at least get an allowance coz it's NOT fair that last year's batch got pay but my batch don't even have an allowance!
Went to inquire about my sandals today. They have been in repair status since 3 BLOODY DAMN months back! WTF? Repair 1 pair of sandals must take so DAMN long meh? So fed-up so went to scold the salegirl. Luckily the one who signed the recipt was there. Now my sandals is missing!!!!! argHhh *pissed* *bangs table*

You have an entrancing kiss~ the kind that leaves your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling he/she is dreaming. Quite effective; the kiss that never lessens and always blows your partner away like the first time.

Your soul is bound to the White Rose: The Pure.
"I've been waiting in the dark for a long time, shining my beacon of hope through the shadow. If you see me, don't you hide your eyes from me."
The White Rose is associated with purity, honor, and chastity. It is governed by the goddess Artemis and its sign is The Cross, or Agape.
As a White Rose, you are a person of your word. You may have a strong moral code, but regardless of your virtue, you always stay true to yourself. To you, love is the most pure of emotional forms and it's just a matter of waiting for it to bless you. Some people may say you are too idealistic, but it's only because you don't want to mess things up.

This weekend was super tiring.. Had an event for SP's lecturers at West Coast Park on Sat. Guess what?! I got lost! Haha.. But at least I wasn't that far over like Zhou! Heehee =D Didn't eat much that day coz wasn't hungry.. *sigh* I'm back to the 'I'm-not-hungry' period liaoz.. =P After the event, rushed home to sleep coz didn't get much sleep the night before & the night before & the night before... You get what I mean. *winkz* Woke up at around 3 to bathe & change coz have to work. ***A HUGE reminder: NEVER I repeat NEVER wear court [sp?] shoes when you are working for a banquet. Will kill ya I tell ya! My legs almost died yesterday.
Then today got Duck Race! YeaH!! **Quack! Quack!** Was very very fun 'cept for the fact that I was damn tired [as usual] & that Duck Race wasn't that interesting coz it wasn't managed by us, TP students, liaoz.. But then there were a few TP students there to help out too! Walked Hydro aka 'Crazy Duck' [heehee] around Boay Quay & all the way to Clarke Quay. Imagine that! Haha.. Legs also died & gone to hell today. Was rather down when it rained coz it pushed back the schedule for the events & everything was so screwed up! Made 3 new friends today from SP, Joycelyn, Bryan [hope I spelt correctly] & William. Joycelyn was a cool & cute babe man! But too bad she's attached. Saw Jacelyn Tay up close today! She's so pretty!! Haha.. And another important thing, Jamie Teo CAN'T sing for nuttin'. Whoever out there who likes her singing, let me tell ya it was all mimed! SHE'S A FAKE!! Okok shall shut up here =X

***WARNING***
This post contains spoilers to the movie 'The Matrix Revolution'. If anyone of you haven't watched it, I suggest that you select another blog from my list. =)
'The Matrix Revolution' today was GREAT!! The fighting part in the rain, CGI of the machines and the sunlight above the dark clouds at the machines HQ was B-E-A-U-tiful!! Agent Smith & Neo looked so cool fighting in the rain [makes me wanna walk in the rain *sigh*]. While they were fighting, we could even see the rain droplets and when Neo punched Agent Smith, it was in slow motion and Neo's knuckles 'knocking' the rain droplets before Agent Smith's jaw could be seen. How cool was that! Then they flew into the sky & started flying towards each other with powerful punches that caused a HUGE ball of water to be formed. When the machines attached Zion's base, they came swimming outta the hole (that they drilled) they looked like a long long worm. Then those infantry were shooting at them & they fell out of the sky [?] like dead pigeons! [no offense Brian *winkz*] Even thought the fight scenes & CGIs were good, the ending was damn disappointing. Trinity died while driving Neo to the machines HQ. And as for Neo, I dun think he died bah.. After fighting Agent Smith in the Matrix. I also dunno leh coz didn't see him breathing when the machines pulled him onto this platform & flew him somewhr. My daddy said that Neo didn't die... So I guess so bah since the Orcale also said that they will most probably be seeing Neo in the future...
Just went to Metro Warehouse sale just now!! WaHhh liew!! Got thousands & thousands of people sia!! [*paiseh* abit exaggerating la.. =D] Wanted to look at the clothes, bags & shoes but seeing the queue for the cashier makes you decide on the opposite. Bleahzz.. The queue was DAMN long lor... Queue until dunno whr sia... Then there were so many people there also.. Typical Singaporeans la.. [like me!! lolx =D] All rushing like mad to grab watever they fancy, without concern for the price, & then being kiasu & asking their husbands/bfs/chindren to queue up for the cashier while they go around making their purchases.
Hmmm.. Am feeling kinda sleepy liaoz.. *yawnz* Tmr gotta buy ingredients for baking cheesecake & also my lunch. *ponders* Will I be hungry tmr?? *shrugs* Hope not.. =P Oh ya... Gotta buy my FYP logbook also... Hope that Popular got sell 'em then I can get a discount! [see what i told ya? Kiasu-ism! lolx =S]

Hey all!! *waves* Today was pretty busy coz I was filing all my school stuffs [notes, practicals, exams qns], packing my bags containers [man i got loads of bags! *winkz* but i still want more!!], clearing my table & my hamster cages! So darn tireD!
Got woken up by my dumb & irritating bro at 0730AM in the morning!! Coz he was playing game! Why the bloody hell couldn't he wait till like ard 11?! Makes me wish I was an only child sometimes. *pouts* But I can't turn back the hands of time and like Peirong said, 'Everything happens for a reason'. I just wish I knew what that reason was. *grinz* If only I could turn back the hands of time then I'll probably not do some of the stuffs that I regret now... *sigh*
Well back to reality. Tmr I'm FINALLY gonna watch 'The Matrix Revolution'!! YeaH! *jumps up & down* That time wanna watch then SOMEONE [stares at the person] tua me lor!! Kaoz... In the end I have to give the tixs to my parents to watch. *hRumpH* *sits down with arms folded & sulks* Gonna play D2 soon! Blog tmr. Bye everyone. *hugZz everyone who's reading my blog*

I'm back!! Heehee =D Haven't been blogging coz I've been in Malaysia. The hotel room was nice and my hotel is located just opposite a prison!! Is it cool or what?!! Actually it's the old prison. *sigh* They have changed it to a rehabilitation centre for drug addicts or abusers I think... I got the picture and once I create my photo album, you guys can go take a look.
The shopping centre is located in between the 2 towers [did I mention there were 2 towers of hotel rooms?] & the theme park was located INSIDE the shopping centre! The whole shopping centre was damn huge! [All 7 storeys] As the shopping centre & hotel rooms just opened, not many shops were occupied but still there were quite a few that allowed me to SHOP!! Heehee =D I bought ALOT of earrings coz they were rather unique [like me! =P] & cheap!! Haha. I never lose out on a good bargain.
The theme park was DAMN huge and it was all situated inside one part of the shopping centre. They had a roller coaster that went 1 full loop, going down & even upside down! WaH! I wanted to take a ride but none of my friends wanted to accompany me [*sob sob*]. But actually I also just eaten my dinner not long ago & I didn't want everything to come out again. Lolx =)
The next day [9th Nov], we went to another one of the nearby but fully developed shopping malls to SHOP!! The shops there were having their 'Mega Sale' and I was just in time! *winkz* I bought 2 pairs of jeans for like 10% of the regular price! Cool or what!! So that makes the price of the jeans like S$10 - S$15 manz! Dirt cheap! Lolx. Bought another jacket too & some formal wear since Alvin Poh said that we might have to wear formal to work [life suxs! no pay!!]. I wanted to buy this bag that I saw at Bata that costs like S$17 only!! But my mum was like "How many bags do you want?! Already not enough place in your room to put all your bags liao." =P Stupid!! I ended up with no bag. *sad* =(
Been eating ALOT during my trip & I think I'm getting fatter. Heehee. DARN! Anyway today just weighed myself & it looks like I'm still stuck at the same weight, which is XXkg. Haha. Not gonna tell you guys my weight =P Anyway better start going back to my packing. Shall play D2 later! =D

She told me about the numerous complains that she made to the PIC about her appliances at her apartment... Lolx =D Typical Singaporeans *winkz* I think if it were me, I'll probably do the same thing.
Anyway today's Eddie's birthday, just wanna wish him a 'Happy Birthday & hope that he's dream comes true real soon ya' *winks* Am suppose to go pack my bags for tmr's trip but I'm just too darn lazy... Maybe later after I blogged & update my friend's HP forum...
Just finished updating my HP forum and am gonna start packing my bag for tmr's trip... I think I'll just dump whatever I can think off or whatever that I see that I think will be useful. Heehee =D After packing is D2 time!!! YeaHhh

You are Form 3, Unicorn: The Innocent.
"And The Unicorn knew she wasn't meant to go into the Dark Wood. Disregarding the advice given to her by the spirits, Unicorn went inside and bled silver blood.. For her misdeed, the world knew evil."
Some examples of the Unicorn Form are Eve (Christian) and Pandora (Greek).
The Unicorn is associated with the concept of innocence, the number 3, and the element of water.
Her sign is the twilight sun.
As a member of Form 3, you are a curious individual. You are drawn to new things and become fascinated with ideas you've never come in contact with before. Some people may say you are too nosey, but it's only because you like getting to the bottom of things and solving them. Unicorns are the best friends to have because they are inquisitive.
It was a longggg night yesterday... Went to my distant cousin's wedding dinner and it was awesome!! There was free-flow of red wine & stuffs *giggles* So you can imagine me asking the waiter for the wine... Lolx... Btw the waiter was kinda cute -.* *grinz* Anyway I didn't order much wine *sigh* coz was'nt feeling too well... got backache & stuffs... The food was great! Lobster, shark's fins, the works!
My cousin was so DAMN pretty!! Beautiful!! DAMN!! Wonder when I'll ever look like that pretty! Heehee =D Wedding gowns are pretty, yes, but I don't see myself getting married in the future... But who knows *shrugs* Anyway... Weddings, brides & beauty aside... I'm slacking now refusing to continue my studies for Blood Bank... Ahhhh... What to do?? I can't seem to get the idea of 'chalet' outta my mind!! Somebody save me!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somebody save me
Let your waters break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just save, save
Come on
I've been waiting for you
