It's been a while since I last updated my blog. Ok, let me just highlight the events that occured in the past week or so.


Monday, 16th March 2009

Had medical checkup and X-ray at SATA - Chai Chee. Woke up at 9am but I am so lazy, I went back to sleep for another half an hour. Woke up, I straight away went to take a shower.


Came out from the shower, got changed and I switched on my computer while I wait for my parents to get ready.


Gosh. I am so addicted to the computer. Grr! Anyway, while using the computer I was also eating my breakfast. Yes, I know it's bad to eat in front of the computer. Oh dear... Got to get rid of that habit!


It started to rain after that. Boohoo! So we waited for the rain to stop before we left the house. I bumped into WANG (Junyong). I didn't expect to see him actually. Exchanged a few words before we wave bye and go our seperate ways.


My parents and I went to Standard Chartered Bank to pay my 1st semester fees ($1174.15) and I'm just so lazy to fill in my particulars so I did it in the bank. How horrible? HAHA. Oh well... I was clumsy too actually because ......... *I shall not say*


After which, we went to eat our lunch and gosh, the Chicken Chop is a NO-NO! I am very disappointed with it. I forced myself to eat it actually. Gosh. Not tasty at all.


Grr... Had a horrible lunch. Boohoo! After lunch, we went to SATA and I am soooooo blur! I don't often go to those clinics and such and I'm so blur. I mean, the queue part wasn't bad, I know you have to press to get a queue number. What I meant by BLUR was the later part.


So what "later" part? HAHA. The urine test part and the X-ray one. I can't believe I was blur but ok, I try and play it cool. Hmm... I shall not type it here. How embarrassing if I were to type what happened? HAHA.



Tuesday, 17th March 2009

Live 'n' Loaded! You know, Angie (Xiaoqiang) changed a lot! HAHA. Last time in Secondary, usually I have to wait for her but this time, she waited for me! Hmm... It's good to see your good friend change and become a better person. Hmm? Then again, I guess I don't change that much? Maybe a bit but nothing major.


Even Angie said - "Your handwriting still about the same. Not much difference."


Well, I was glad to see her. We took a bus to Bishan and then met up with Ratna and her cousin, Dayah. Oh, oh! She's a Liverpool fan by the way and Angie fancies Arsenal. So... There you have it - Arsenal, Chelsea and a Liverpool fan. Ratna? Hmm... She's the referee (in case we start a debate, she can just issue a yellow card). LOL!


Took a bus to Thomson. While walking in to Mediacorp, something funny happened. I'm pretty sure Angie would remember what happened. Anyway, thanks Ratna for the wet tissue. I guess it's a good thing to bring along wet tissues with you as you would never know what might happen.


Met Clara and her friends (Patricia and Darren).


Well, I had fun. Took the train from Bishan with Angie, Clara and her friends. Clara and her friends alighted at Simei, so that means it's just myself and Angie. I miss those days! Those days in Secondary. They were amazing and memorable.


Well, we once had an arguement but ok, I apologised later in the day. I also can't remember what it was but who says I don't apologise? SEE, I do apologise. So, you can't say I'm HEARTLESS or anything like that. *grins*


Oh well... "Suck my toes!" - Angie's favourite quote.














Angie and I







Clara and I (above)






(When I removed my vest - When I am at home; Using flash. HAHAHA. Well? I don't have perfect skin, so what am I supposed to do? Lighting does help. Anyway, I love that t-shirt that I'm wearing as it's comfortable but that cost $35!)







I don't have to tell you who are those, do I? (above)



Thursday, 19th March 2009

Guo Dong's 19th birthday.



Saturday, 21st March 2009

Went out with my family. Had dinner at Century Square, Food Culture. I had Fish and Chips for dinner. Hmm... Still, I feel Food Culture's Western Stall is still better than the one at Bedok (Banquet). (:



Friday, 20th March 2009

Receive a package from the NAVY. They've been sending since my first year in ITE. It does look attractive when I see the basic starting pay but then again, I'm not interested in it. Hmm... It can be kind of flattering in a way. (However, as you can see in the picture, the flip flop were a little bit big!)















Monday, 23rd March 2009

Went for the enrolment at Singapore Polytechnic (SP). My enrolment was at 11AM, so I woke up at 8.30AM and I left the house 9.50AM. While I was in the bus, on my way to the interchange, I text Ratna to ask where is she now and that I might be a little late as we earlier on planned to meet at 10.55AM. I reached the interchange at about 10.05AM.


I found out Ratna just woke up. I took my time then since she just woke up. So I took the train at about 10.20AM. The train departed at 10.25AM.


I think I was at Tiong Bahru or something when I texted Ratna again and she told me that her cousin, Dayah would be there. Ok, I was so blur when I reached Dover. I was like looking for her, so I called Ratna. Oh my. I cannot remember how many times I called and texted her that day.


Ok, finally I found Dayah. She standing on the other side, whereas I was standing on the other side towards the entrance of Singapore Polytechic.


She accompanied me for the enrolment. Thanks anyway! Oh boy. I feel that I look like a zombie in my Student Admission Card. HAHAHA. Boohoo. I don't know, I just feel tired as the previous night I had problems sleeping.


Took the train to City Hall, and that's how we met Ratna. She was in the train and so, we went to Funan to have our lunch before they went to apply for a job. However, we went to Times Bookstore first and it's like we spent one hour in the bookstore. Well, it was an interesting time there. Says who bookstore equals to BORING?


While on my way home, I met my brother with his friends. He got his Schecter guitar and he's one happy boy. He's been talking about it since I don't know when. He sold his Epiphone Les Paul Custom (If I'm not wrong! Which means he's left with his standard) and got a Schecter.


(Oh, Ashik's buddy is in the hospital. May he recover soon.)



Wednesday, 25th March

Aida and Pearline's Birthday. HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY!~ (: Even though we're not in the same school already and we don't often chat nowadays, I'll still remember.

Well, was supposed to go out with my mother but who knows I was sooooooo tired that I slept through till late afternoon. End up, my mother cancelled the plan. Sorry mum!



Alright, till here then. I'm lazy to type already. Will update when I have the time.

(...and oh! I saw myself on TV in "Live 'n' Loaded" on the 19th March. The one that was wearing the purple tee with white vest. HAHA. You would have also spotted Angie a few times.)


Peace~

Monday, March 09, 2009

Let me ask you a question. If you got into your first choice (be it the school, course or in whatever), how would you react? The obvious answer is - JUMP WITH JOY!


Then again, how long would that last? So ok, probably the first time you would be really pleased and excited because you got your desired choice. Some might even say - "Wow! You're so lucky!" or "Shut up! You serious? Oh my god!"


After a while, that joy just faded somehow. Yes? No? Maybe?


Well? That's how I feel when I got my posting result. Honestly the day before the posting result, friends chatting with me on MSN keep mentioning about it and I got irritated as I was actually worried about it! I told them to stop talking about it as I don't want to think about it.


JPAE POSTING RESULTS day - The release of the results were at 2pm and I was in the showering very nervous but when I came out and switched on my laptop I just tell myself to calm down. I had mixed feelings I guess? However, I'm more of like a mute person. I was really soooooo silent.


Logged in and when I read it, I keep quiet still. Read it again to make sure I read correctly and guess what? I just laughed like a mad person as I couldn't believe what I saw on the screen. After which, I was like - "Yes yes! Yes! Woooooo! Yes! Mummy! Mummy!"


I called my mother over to take a look as I thought my eyes played tricks on me. She came over and read it and congratulated me.


I am surprised and pleased with it but then again, after a while, it just faded slowly and after a while, I'll just go "No big deal right?" (Some are surprised because previously I didn't consider the school as a choice but you know, human can change their mind and it's because of the course)


I don't know why but I'm still questioning myself - Why do I feel that way?


I must thank god for everything that he has given as the almighty one has been kind to me even though along the way I do face obstacles that I have to overcome (Isn't that what life is about?).


Despite having things that do go my way most of the times and probably at times I am a lucky girl, I still have this thought of - "What's holding me back?"


Sometimes I just have this fear, and sometimes I just feel very confident. Sometimes I afraid, sometimes I'm just consolling myself and motivate myself.


Why why why... Do I feel this way?


What am I afraid of? Why do I feel this way? How come I have to feel this way? I just don't know the answer to it. Honestly, I just feel like... I just don't know what to say. It's like there's something missing.


Ok, I guess I shouldn't be complaining and all. I am happy with the things I have in life. Then again as you know in life, nothing is perfect so there'll be some downs in life too. However, with everything that I have and all, I guess I have to be fortunate and thank god for everything in my life. I guess I'm just thinking too much.


I am no angel. I am not 100 percent innocent BUT I always try to be a good person. When I say "try", that doesn't mean I am faking it, what I mean is you can't always be good all the time right?


When you're angry, you may curse, swear, throw things or maybe even react violently. When you're emotional, probably you'll breakdown and cry. Say silly things and things like that. I don't mean "TRY" as in pretending to be good. That's not what I mean and I don't think I am like that! Why would I pretend to be good?


Oh well... Anyway, thank you god for everything. I appreciate the things that I have and the things that I have been given.


So... Ok, it's nice to get into your first choice. Who doesn't like it? Anybody who gets into their first choice would definitely be HAPPY like a mad dog. Oops. Ok, I didn't mean it that way. (Just kidding! ...on the mad dog part)


Should I just say it already? Hmm... Maybe not. I'm taking it in a different approach. I just want to remain low profile. I remembered being all so happy and all that I sort of like go around and ask classmates and stuff like that in which some would just call me ARROGANT or ACTION.


That is soooooo wrong! I mean, it's a human reaction. If you did well or you achieved something, of course you will be happy and stuff like that. However, I was often being called that by some classmates. Those that said that were ones that I don't quite fancy actually. *oops* (Oh well...)


The thing is, I just... I just... I don't know. Some things that I used to do in the past, now... I just don't do it anymore or just simply lost touch of it or lost interest in it. Boohoo! (Can be a bad thing at times I guess?)


Anyway, SOME HAVE GOTTEN THEIR ENROLMENT PACKAGE but I'm still waiting for it. I asked Junyong on Saturday and he said he have not received it yet too. (:


I will be in the same school as two of my Secondary classmates (but different course) - Wang Junyong and Ping Kee. W.J.Y (Wang Junyong), which I always call him in Secondary is a nice friend. I remember all those nonsense that we had. When I looked back and reflect, oh boy... It was funny!


We would somehow "brag" to each other saying - "Eh! I am top for Chinese", in which I would say "Eh! I am top for English". Those were the days. I remember he likes to say this "Diane, where are you? Diane, oi! Don't hide." How idiotic? He said that because he's taller than me (like probably by 20cm)! Boohoo. Then again, he is kind somehow.


Not forgetting Ping Kee, that genius with a little bit of... *ahem* Shall not spill the beans (later people think he's really a .....rt - Ahem), I would say he's a smart guy. Unfortunately, he is colour blind! How sad?


Aww... Those were the days, I miss those days! Makes me smile when I look back at it. Oh... It means I'll be seeing someone too. I'll be seeing a BEAR. *Oops*


*sigh* I'm not really like sad or anything like that. It's just that... If only I could pause those days. Good old memories, good old days. Alright, I will update soon if I have the time!


P.S: Oh yes, ♥Chelsea beat Coventry by 2 goals to nil. Courtesy of Didier Drogba and Alex, they will face Arsenal/Hull in the Semi-Finals. Boohoo! GO ♥CHELSEA GO! DIANE ♥ CHELSEA~


Wish me luck coping in my new school! (: I'll just have to work hard and keep my feet on the ground. Oh, good luck to FAIZ too. May you get in to Nanyang (NYP), then we can meet up after school (if we end school early).


LOVE~

xoxoxo


Peace out~

Wednesday, March 04, 2009

Let me just recap my week. It's been a good week so far and I'm very pleased with it. The only thing is that I am not updating my blog. Alright, so here I am updating it now. (23rd February up to 3rd of March)



Let's start off with 23rd of February.


23rd February 2009, Monday

Went out with my mother as my mother wants to buy some things and also to buy food. While I was out with my mother, Faiz texted me and asked if I wanted to watch a movie. Would gladly love to watch movies but the thing was I was outside.


Hmm? So after several text messages then I changed my mind and decided to go and watch movie with him and Fiqah the following day. When I was replying his text message, I was like carrying some heavy (but ok, not very heavy) things on my right hand. Imagine how slow was that?


After my mother had done her shopping, we took cab home. Well? By then my mother was really tired but I still have some energy left.



24th February 2009, Tuesday

Went out with Faiz and Fiqah. Met Faiz at Pasir Ris MRT station. Faiz was surprised that I'm early. See, like I keep repeating many times that I can be EARLY too. However, I don't know usually for school I'm usually late but EARLY at times. *grins*


So when I reached Pasir Ris Interchange, I called Faiz to ask him where is he. Faiz actually wanted to call me but I called him instead. Anyway, we took the train to City Hall then cross over then alighted at Somerset.


Fiqah hasn't reached yet when we reached Cineleisure. The funny part was when she reached and when she called me I did not turn to my right. Instead, I turned to my left while talking on the phone, I remember this one clearly - "Where are you?", she went... "Err? Err?" (in which she was said she was raring to laugh already) and when I turned to my right, she was like laughing.


After which we went to buy movie tickets. Fiqah and I were neutral about what movie to watch actually. We saw the trailer for the movie "Push", dang! That movie looks cool! Gosh. Then there's this movie. Err? I can't remember but Jesse ... Err? Sorry I can't remember his full name but he acted in "John Tucker Must Die". Ok, we finally decided to stick with our inital plan then - "He's Just Not Into You".


We got about one and a half hours to go window-shopping and such, we decided to have lunch at PastaMania. I can't remember what Fiqah and Faiz had but I had Creamy Chicken. Hmm? Don't think I would eat it again next time. Creamy Chicken when it gets cold, it isn't nice to eat. Boohoo! Maybe I should try the Lasagne next time if I go to PastaMania. OR... Anything to recommend? What's nice at PastaMania?


Anyway, after lunch we were left with like 15 minutes. So ok, we took our time to go up. Hmm? It's a 2pm show, I did not expect many people actually so was a bit surprised.




I think the movie was sweet, funny and touching but FIQAH THINKS IT'S BORING AND LAME. Objection! Objection! Well? I just feel that maybe some parts can be a bit 'dry' but overall I say it's not bad. Quite a nice movie that I enjoyed actually. Would probably rate this movie slightly higher than "Bride Wars". So I say, 3.5/5? (Since I rate Bride Wars as 3/5)


I think I like Neil and Beth in the movie. They're really sweet but I guess because of some misunderstanding and such, which lead to a breakup but they got back together again. The last part was the best! Yes, the way Neil (Affleck) purposes to Beth (Aniston). I kind of laughed because of the look on his face, his expression when he was on his knees but on the other hand, I was like... "Aww...".






Neil (Ben Affleck; I used to like him a lot back then, I like his character in the movie! Very sweet guy) and Beth (Jennifer Aniston)



I don't know what others might say or think about the movie but in my opinion, I feel it's somehow realistic in certain ways. There are people out there who are really that desperate and there are some people who also make the same mistakes like what was in the movie. So I don't think it's that bad.


My favourite quotes in the movie:

Gigi: "Maybe his grandma died or maybe he lost my number or is out of town or got hit by a cab... "


Mary: "I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies."


Mary: "It's exhausting."


Alex: "I really gotta go to bed."

Gigi: "Is that an invitation?"

Alex: "What?"

Gigi: "Oh god, That was cheesy."










Those are just some parts that I like. After the movie, it was raining. Boohoo! We can't go anywhere so we had to walk around Cathay Cineleisure then. Faiz bought Famous Amos Cookies and shared with Fiqah and I. He bought 400 grams of it if not wrong, 100 grams free. Meaning to say - 500 grams. Eat and eat till we can't finish, so he gave it to me to bring it home. Well? Thank you. Alright, moving on now.

















Creamy Chicken



25th February 2009, Wednesday

I just stayed at home. Was really lazy to go out. Furthermore, I am tired. Oh, I watched the Champions League game. Chelsea versus Juventus. Juventus were the better Italian side! My heart was beating fast when they had their chances in the Second Half of the game. Whereas, First Half - It was more of... Chelsea attacking but it's the opposite in the next 45 minutes. All in all, THE BLUES beat Juventus by 1 goal to nil.


Chelsea will have a slender lead with that one goal advantage when they travel to Turin. Come on BLUES! Win the game in Turin and we're through but I am aware that you can never take your opponents lightly. Furthermore, Juventus are a strong side too, they have a good squad.



26th February 2009, Thursday

My cousin, Tracy's wedding dinner. Her wedding dinner is at Furama City Centre. I did not expect my drama instructor (Mr Tony) to be there actually. He was with his Peranakan group to entertain us at the wedding dinner. (Oh, the groom is Peranakan anyway! "Apa Khabair?"; Peranakan way of saying "How are you?")


The food was great. Had an 8 Course Meal.

This was what I had:

Assorted Muslim Cold Cuts

Beef Ball wigth assorted vegetables and beancurd soup

Crispy Fried Chicken with crackers

Fried Fish Fillet with Homemade Spicy Pineapple sauce (isn't spicy! Tasty! I LOVE THIS!)

Oat and Butter Prawn

Mushroom Soup (Very nice and yummy!)

Kampong Fried Rice with seafood (This is nice. Not your ordinary fried rice. Sadly I only managed to eat half of it, this is the second last that was being served)

...Last but not least, Mango pudding (not those ordinary pudding that you go to NTUC Fairprice that type) - Looks more like fruit pudding? As there were fruits.



Left a little early as my dad and brother had to go to work and school respectively the following day. We left the place about 10.45pm. Reached home close to midnight.


Yawns! I'm still thinking of that Fried Fillet Fish with the Homemade Pineapple sauce. Gosh... However, I am not drooling, so fret not!



















27th February 2009, Friday

Tired tired tired. I did nothing much. I woke up late.



28th February 2009, Saturday

I actually can't remember much about Saturday apart from the result that Chelsea got a victory against Wigan Athletic. 90th minute goal by Frank Lampard sealed the victory. Am pleased with it and oh boy, it brought joy to me. Ok, so the Premiership might be staying at Old Trafford for another season (next season, come on BLUES bring it back to The Bridge!!) but it's important to at least be 2nd.


A victory for Chelsea and surprisingly Liverpool lost to Middlesbrough. That actually shocked and surprised me. Of course it was great to see your rival team drop points and with their defeat, it means Chelsea move up to 2nd couresty of having a better goal difference.



1st March 2009, Sunday

February doesn't have 30 days, sadly it has 28 days unless it's a leap year in which you would have another "extra" day in February.


Renny and Jiekie's birthday. Hmm? So fast huh? 19 years old already. However, Renny is still "childish". Oops. HAHA. I shall not say anything else. *My lips are sealed*


2nd March 2009, Monday
It's my first time using my laptop. (In which I am using it at the moment to type this entry!)


My dad bought this laptop few months ago but only few days ago I started to use it. Hmm? Ok, I'm a laptop/notebook noob. Boohoo. Pardon me. I'm just so used to using my desktop computer.


Anyway! I feel you got to be tech-savvy. Ok, I want to be tech-savvy! However, I am not a techno freak! Whichever way you look at it. HAHA. Be it music genre or in other words: Technology freak.


I do like or should I say I REALLY APPRECIATE HAVING TECHNOLOGIES! MAKING MY LIFE EASY! Hmm? However, I am not super duper obsessed. Hmm? Ok, maybe I am obsessed to the internet.


Anyway, here are the specifications:

ACER ASPIRE 4930G

INTEL CORE 2 DUO PROCESSOR T9400 (Intel Centrino Duo)

(2.53GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 6MB L2 cache)

4GB DDR2 RAM

320GB HDD

14.1" WXGA Acer CrystalBrite LCD

NVIDIA GeFORCE 9300M GS (256MB)


It weighs about 2.5kg with the battery. I don't fancy the battery life though but so far I feel this laptop is good and probably ideal for me.


Oh, Fiqah got a new laptop. I'm pleased for her. She got Acer too! Acer buddies. Haha... Well? My dad seems to be an Acer fan anyway. He's laptop is also Acer (18.4"), he also got himself an Acer Aspire One. Oh well...



3rd March 2009, Tuesday
Ok, I used my desktop computer first (ok, also Acer) to transfer some data and all. After which I switched to my laptop. Oh boy, I can't believe I'm saying this but I guess I'm somewhat a little addicted to using my laptop. Gosh.


Anyway, woke up at about 4pm (well? I slept at 8 in the morning! Hmm? Ok, 8 hours of sleep). My PlayStation Portable (PSP) was beside me so I decided to play games first. Well? Ok, before I played my PSP, I actually went back to sleep for a while. Probably for 10 minutes?


Anyway, I played FIFA 09. Probably I am addicted to the manager mode. Simulation mode please! HAHA. Anyway, it's my fifth season as Chelsea's manager and later on at night I completed my fifth season. So... Now I'm on to my sixth season as manager of Chelsea.


Hey, I did a good job ok! I win all trophies and remain unbeaten for the past two seasons. Ok, my fourth season I was beaten once in one of the cup games but I already won the game in the first leg.


Anyway, my dad brought back some food for the family to eat. Yummy! Siew mai! My father, my brother and I love Siew Mai. Yum yum! He also bought the Set A (the Ananas Cafe one). Yummy~ Foooooddddddd...


After which, I just watched television with my mother. There's this free preview of the Indonesian channel (MNC) for two weeks and it seems like my mother is very keen on it and so, she might want to ask my dad to subscribe to it.


Yawns yawns yawns. I shall not go on and talk about all the other things.


And so.... I am still awake till like NOW. HAHA. Yes, I am still awake. Gosh, I think I better get some sleep soon!


Hmm? Well? I was watching the Chelsea match just now. Portsmouth versus Chelsea. Victory to Chelsea! Didier Drogba scored the only goal of the match which was the winner. Hurray for my TEAM!



Yawns yawns yawns. Blah blah. Hmm? Naqiah won't be able to go with me to the "Live 'n' Loaded" show on the 17th March. Boohoo! Hmm? Ok, I understand as she had to work. Hmm? I'm not sure if Xiaoqiang will be free or not! Hopefully by then she'll finish her attachment!



I can't believe it's just one more day to the release of posting result. I am so scared. I hope to get in to my first two choices but I am just afraid. Arghhhhh... Don't want to talk about it. *cross fingers* Oh please, please please...



Alright, I better be going~ (:

(Hmm? Was nice taking pictures using the webcam. My current display picture [on Live Messenger] was taken using the webcam *grins*)


OK, GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! (I'm off to shower then have my breakfast!)



Peace~
