"Face me, sitting in my memory,
Hold me, I remember
Face me, sitting in my memory,
Hold me, I remember
And we argue, constantly
disagree, about everything
distance, nothing new for me
I feel uneasy, under this thing
thoughts away
the heavenly...", "In My Memory" - Tiësto
I'm listening to Tiësto now. I was previously listening to "In My Memory", currently I am listening to "Flight 643". I like that song. Trance baby trance~
Well, first of all... I am a happy girl for the past week or so and with that I would like to thank god for everything. Thank you god for everything.
Life is like a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down. Yes, I know I tend to use that sentence over and over again but hey, it's true. Life is like a wonderful journey, life is like a mystery. Is there such a thing called "forever"? I really wonder.
Anyway, let me recap my past week or so as it has been a good one and one that makes me really happy. Basically, I wanted to type out my happy days so that when I look back and read in the future, at least it's one that would make me smile and remember of the good times that I had.
BASICALLY, nobody is perfect but I always try to be a good daughter to my parents. I feel sad if I do let them down. I don't want to let them down, I want them to feel proud of their daughter. Well, my parents are pretty average people who does not have too HIGH EXPECTATIONS. Of course there would be like some standards but they're quite realistic people.
I cannot really compare my parents as they are both different people and it would be unfair if I were to say who is better. Just like anybody, you'll definitely have the good and the bad points.
Alright, let me begin with the recap. Let's start with 7th of April.
Thursday,7th April 2009
I actually did woke up earlier than usual and my mother was surprised actually. So I took a shower and waited for my mother to get ready before leaving. Went to return my library books first at White Sands Library and of course I did borrow a magazine and this Italian phrase book. (Si? [Yes, in Italian] Did I hear you say, "What?? Again??" Sadly,yes.)
After which we went to Courts Megastore at Tampines. Well, Courts Megastore isn't too far away from my place. If I were to take bus, it would be a few stops only.
Anyway, when we reached there, we had dinner. My mother was hungry then. So alright, dinner!
*As you can see in the pictures*



...and after which, we went window-shopping before heading to Giant. Well, basically my mother wanted to buy some things there.

Nothing much. Oh wait. THERE WAS! Champions League match - Liverpool vs Chelsea. I was undecided if I should watch the match as I booked a slot to configure my notebook the following day and I booked the 9AM slot! I scared I would be tired and I'm undecided because I'm afraid I'll be upset with the results at Anfield.
Fernando Torres drew first blood and I was in pain. Ok, it wasn't too bad because I did not switch on the television to watch but I checked the score. The pain, oh the pain! Well, it was in the 6th minute! Goodness me. How can I not feel upset and worried?
That changed 5 minutes before half-time when Branislav Ivanovic scored. Woohoo! I was kind of relieved. At half-time I was thinking if I should watch. Oh boy. I missed all the action! Darn. I was kind of like kicking myself for not watching it.
Oh well... I did switch on the television to watch the last 10 minutes of the game but I guess I was a little too late as I missed the goals!
After the game, I watched the highlights before going to bed.
Thursday, 9th April 2009
I woke up at 6.30AM and it's like I only slept for about one and a half hours or a little more like that. Anyway, I actually did not feel that tired. Probably Chelsea won? Which makes me really happy? HAHAHA.
Energetic D woke up and went straight to the toilet to take a shower. I came out from the toilet at about 7AM and I was getting dressed and I actually questioned myself "Do I feel tired? Or I am just not tired?"
Strange question? Well, I was actually wondering. I left the house at about 7.55AM. Ok, I intended to leave the house at 7.45AM but I was eating my breakfast before I left. I reached school at about 9.10AM.
Being a newbie, a freshman I feel kind of 'dumb' but I kind of acted cool. Oops. HAHA. Ok, well? I just tell myself to remain calm and cool - Do not panic.
Guess how long it took me? I started at about 10.10AM and I only finish at 2.10PM! That's like 4 HOURS!! I was kind of like freezing in the room but thankfully, I brought my cardigan with me.
Oh, I also would like to thank Faiz for being nice to call me and chat with me to keep me accompanied while I installed the programs.
However, at the eleventh hour FIQAH COULD NOT MAKE IT! SHE HAD TO WORK. Actually, Fiqah, Guo Dong and I planned to meet up but darn, SHE HAD TO WORK. Why does her boss always have to spoil our plans? Why does her boss always have to do such thing? It's her off day anyway. Grr... Poor Fiqah.
So after my configuration, I decided to go home. When I was at the MRT station, I was really blind! Wang Junyong was like in front of me waving and I didn't realise it was him until I look again for the second time then I realised it's him. My my my. Too blind.
Just chat with him (well? he was with his friend) and stuff like that. I haven't eat my lunch, so... When I reached Pasir Ris, I decided to buy...



Yummy!~ It's been a while I last ate it and hurray, I did so.

It was GOOD FRIDAY. Nothing much but I was just relaxing. Hmm? If I recall correctly, I had pizza.
Saturaday, 11th April 2009
I finally clean my wardrobe. Yes, my cupboard has been messy for months. Grr... How irritating and finally I kept my words to really CLEAN IT. See mummy, I told you I will do so before school starts. I really do keep my words. *grins*
Well, my mother didn't really believe that I would actually clean it because I kept saying that I would, end up I always did not and so... I FINALLY DID. See, told her that I would do before school starts and I am TRUE TO MY WORDS. I kept my words.
It's better now. It's pleasing to my sight.
Chelsea won. 4 - 3 against Bolton Wanderers.

Family day as usual. My father and my brother went off first while my mother and I joined them later. Met my father and brother at Jurong Point. When I reached there it was probably 5 something which was close to 6pm (it takes about an hour from Pasir Ris to Boon Lay). I cannot remember the exact time.
Had dinner at Banquet before going window-shopping. Mum bought some cookies and asked me to choose for one of them. Hmm, after which we just walked around Jurong Point and then we went to John Little. Guess what?


Thank you mum! ♥
Mum was really kind. She remember me saying "I've been using my wallet for quite a while, it's been like 3 years since Secondary 4" in the past few weeks. However, I did not ask her to buy it for me, the reason I said that was because my mother asked me "Don't you want to change your wallet?"
Oh well, THANK YOU MUM!~ ♥♥ It's not about the price or brand or whatever, it's about appreciating it.

FRESHMEN ORIENTATION PROGRAMME! Orientation week. Boohoo. I met Wang Junyong at Pasir Ris MRT at noon but I was a few minutes late as the bus was travelling really slow. I apologised to him for having to wait for me (even though it was a few minutes).
We missed the train, so we took the other train which would depart like in 8 minutes time. Oh boy. We reached Dover close to 1pm and happened that Junyong's friend took the same train as us, so he walked with us to school.
Well, after that we go our seperate ways. Well, his friend seemed friendly (though I thought he may be fierce or something).
Anyway, I made friends with this girl - Dashini. However, she isn't my classmate! Grr... She's in 1A/02, whereas I'm in 1A/03. Oh well, nevermind. Orientation wasn't that bad actually. Yes, there were talks and some performance but hey, it wasn't that bad.
The orientation programme ended at about 5pm and Ratna called me. She somehow kept me accompanied when in the train. However, we got cut-off when we were at Tiong Bahru or around Outram if not wrong. Boohoo. I texted her then to apologise. When she replied me, I was kind of sleepy already. I think it was after I replied her message that I actually dozed off.
I dozed off for about 20 minutes I guess? I dozed off when I was at Raffles Place and I woke up when it was at Tanah Merah. Oh well... Sleepy D.
When I reached home, my parents wanted to go to Courts Megastore to buy a new fan. So ok, I just drink a sip of water, a bite of the nugget that my mother cooked, washed my hands and feet before going out with them. I changed to slippers too. We went to White Sands first to have dinner. Dinner at KFC before we headed to Courts Megastore.
Tuesday, 14th April 2009
2nd day of ORIENTATION PROGRAMME. Woke up at 6.30AM to get ready to go to school. Grr... I had to bring my notebook. Imagine carrying "weight". My notebook weighs 2.4 kilograms (with battery)!
Met Dashini at Dover, I was a few minutes late. To be exact like 3 minutes late. We kind of lost our way but we followed the map so we somehow managed to get to the place in the end.
That's how I met my new classmate Joanne. Boy, you know my first impression of her was "She look fierce". HAHA. Well, she's actually a nice person. You know like what they say "Don't be deceive by its looks".
Met my new classmates and I'm happy actually. Joanne, Shikin, Adeline, Jamie, Nadya and Yue Hong (sorry if I spell wrongly).
Well, it wasn't that bad or boring that some might say because I met nice classmates.

2.45AM, Tuesday night - Wednesday morning. CHELSEA versus LIVERPOOL. What a crazy game! Boy boy boy.
FINALLY OUTCOME, CHELSEA THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINAL! Woohoo! Super Frank does it again. Full Time: 4 - 4. (Aggregate: 7 - 5)
Went out with my mother to White Sands to exchange something. I was a little grumpy. I don't know why. Probably I did not eat before leaving the house? Well, I wasn't like that after I ate! I was happy after I do so. *grins*
Sorry mum. I didn't mean to. I just couldn't control my temper. I was kind of grumpy I don't know why. However, I wasn't like that after I have eaten!

FLAG DAY. We were kind of confused to where to meet. However, we just decided to go straight to the venue. Met up with Joanne, Shikin and Adeline at Raffles Place. Dashini's venue is at Aljunied.
I was a few minutes late - About 3 minutes late. Yes, I don't know why this week I'm always 3 minutes late! Boohoo.
Well, flag day was ok. I have to smile all the time and I always remind myself "If the person doesn't want to donate, it's ok. Just thank the person and smile". Oh boy, it was tiring. Some people are really nice people but there are some who are just so arrogant. It's like they look at us as beggars. Thinking that we want their money.
This is for charity and I'm doing it for charity. I don't need their money and I'm pleased with what I have. I mean if you don't want to donate or don't have change, it's ok. At least a nod or a smile will do. I will not get angry, would you get angry? I mean at least you are being acknowledged. What I can't stand is when one gives you the arrogant look like you owe them a living.
HELLO!~ I don't know you and I'm just doing my part for the President's Challenge. To give that look it disgust me but oh well, there are such people in Singapore. I feel it's also a good time to see what kind of people Singaporeans are.
Those that gave that 'disgusting' look, I just don't know what to say to them. I don't want to get mad over this as it isn't worth my time. Time will tell I guess? Ever heard of karma? (:

TOO TIRED. I woke up late. My brother attended his school annual Speech Day. Congratulations.
Saturday, 18th April 2009
I woke up at about 4pm. Grr... Hmm, checked my school email to see if my name is in the list and I saw my name in the list. That means I will be able to collect my EzLink card this Monday.
Got to buy MRT concession! Got to buy MRT concession! GOT TO, GOT TO! $43 for it but I feel it's worth it. I don't know if I should buy the Hybrid one (For MRT and bus). That would cost me $93 but I'm afraid it won't be worth it. I guess I'll get the MRT one then.
Oh oh oh! FA Cup at midnight. Arsenal versus CHELSEA. I watched the game and oh boy, Theo Walcott (Yes, that cutie [still prefer him clean-shaved]) drew first blood against CHELSEA (again). Grr!
Well, it took a deflection off Ashley Cole somehow. Anyway, CHELSEA struck back! Florent Malouda! Oh boy... I'm confused to what to say about him. For the past few games, he actually has been playing well in my opinion. Hmm? Should Chelsea still sell him in the summer?
Anyway, that was a nice goal by him. I have to say after Theo Walcott scored, Chelsea seemed to be really attacking. Hurray.
In the second half, Chelsea were attacking but don't really seem to threaten Lukaz Fabianski in goal. As the clock was ticking I started to feel nervous. In my mind, I was like "Oh god, what if Arsenal scored? Will Chelsea score? Do we need extra time?"
I then decided to eat a Snickers (Almond) bar. Can't help it, got to make myself feel good. I needed to use the toilet so ok, I missed a few minutes of action. When I came out, I saw Chelsea celebrating. Dang! That's where I was like "I missed it!"
Thankfully, I managed to watch the replay of the goal. Hurray! Didier Drogba does it again. I bet Arsenal fans must be hating him as he was the player that broke Arsenal hearts two years ago in the Carling Cup final.
Hurray for CHELSEA! Chelsea in the finals! Woohoo! I REALLY HOPE CHELSEA WILL WIN IT. (:

BLUE IS THE COLOUR!~♥
Hmm... Alright, that kind of wraps up everything that happened in my life for the past week or so.
I'll blog soon when I have the time.
xoxo ♥♠♥♠
Peace out~
