i've decided to name this picture the toilet episode. isnt it cute? haha. my dad bought me this (not just this actually. there're lots of more interesting stuff.) from china cos it looks like winnie (there it goes again. winnie the pooh). my mum has one which is a pig. my sis doesnt have. aww.. ): this creature nods it's head and it sure looks hardworking. if you dont believe it, when you visit my place, i'll show you. it currently sits on my desk, this funny little thing. haha.
just had haagen dazs ice cream and i feel so full. gosh. i'm really growing fat what with all the food. had another buffet on saturday when my dad came back. shall bug my sis for the cool pictures she took with her new phone. yes. my dad bought it in china for her. he bought 3 shoes for us as well but i couldnt wear them so all 3 belongs to my sis now (they're too big for me). i dont mind though. haha.
cant wait for cousins' gathering. i dont know why. i shall go find some good deal for buffet. hope my gor gors dont mind cos my sis and i are on for that. more food. i'm highly influenced by my friends. i'm gonna redo my board at home to include more food pcitures. time to hunt for food flyers. lol.
i need to get my xmas cards soon and to call up my gz teacher. time to stop being in a holiday mood and plan for stuff. i've decided to learn some stuff from my mum. perhaps it'll help relief her work stress. but yea. she doesnt want me to stick to her work. neither do i. i just want to do something meaningful and not waste my time around the house.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JIEYING! i'm sorry i didnt wish you yesterday. i swear i was thinking about it the day before.
photos update:
Completed puzzle (in a day) that my sis bought me from phuket i think. yes. i realise my presents from people are very similar. all of them contains pooh. i realise it's really easy to get me gifts. haha. to all those who make the effort to remember me liking pooh, i sincerely say a BIG THANK YOU. it's really alright if you all dont get me anything from your trips. to me, the more important thing is you enjoyed your trip and you left with great experience and learning points that you dont mind sharing with me. (:
completed the singapore flyer puzzle i bought after the above puzzle (in half a day). cannot show here cos i forced it to be done with wrong pieces in wrong places. haha. first time i gave up doing a scenary puzzle. couldnt stand it when the lighting was quite bad that i cant differentiate the colour. i think piecing the sky was so much easier. ok. i admit the puzzle was only of one shape and hence it makes it difficult. nevertheless, i'm quite glad i've got that amount of patience to complete the puzzle at least. haha. i shall go count my savings and get a 5000 piece puzzle since i've managed a 2000+ piece one. (:the aftermath of tuesday's buffet:
i cant stop listening to my blog song (though i dunno what it means -.-). arh!
7 hours more to go and i'll be able to see my dad. WONDERFUL! ultimate happiness. i shall spend the next few days catching up with my dad. (: cant wait to hear his experience!
i'm beginning to hate my neighbours (both the neighbour for quite some years and the new neighbour). they were tolerable, until yesterday. i'm totally disgusted. what is so wrong with them? one family plays mahjong every night until almost 11pm and yes, i can hear vulgarities almost every fifteen minutes. i'm not sure but i've this feeling there's gambling going on. no evidence but yea, gut feeling. perhaps i could poke my nose around. given my extra time sitting around. :P the second case: yesterday, the kid from next door (another neighbour) peed outside the house at the corridor. i solemnly swear one day i will scream at both the parents and grandparents. dont they know how to teach the kid? nowadays kids. and he's just outside the house. what's the problem with going into the house to do the business. TOTALLY PISSED. nevermind. i shant spoil my good mood today.
changed the song. have been looking for it for the past two years. was looking through parts of the jap trip video online (i realise it was on youtube. man. my unglam moments. haha.) and yes, i miss japan and the tour guide. she was such a wonderful person. and yes. i miss my seniors. cant wait for gathering but i've got this feeling i wont turn up cos i'll be away on hols with my family. haiz.
counting down.. (:
YES! A's are finally over. i'm so glad. (: but then again, there's so much i'll be leaving behind from this 12 years of Singapore education. imagine it's the last day for everything.
went out after physics for dim sum buffet which was at 3pm. paper ended at 9.15am. this implies my friends and i (it's only the 3 of us) rotted in between. not exactly actually. we went bishan then dhoby ghaut then to chinatown. we were hunting for good deals for prom dresses cos my friend needed one. (: and as teenage girls, i guess it's pretty common that we just anyhow pick dresses and go and try them. didnt want to try at first. cos i really find that those dresses are not what i like but my friends forced it on me. and gosh, it's pink and bare back. oh well. what can i do. and so we picked dresses and yea. took photos. (the place didnt say no photo-taking.) if the dress wasnt pink, it could have been better. pink is too shocking and it doesnt suit my personality.
dim sum buffet was wonderful! ate until my stomach's so full! haha. and it's really worth the price. my friends and i were amazed there were so many people given the fact that it's on a weekday. the restaurant was full and there was a queue. wow! must go there with my parents. (:
next week eating indian food. haha. i sure need to exercise. i'm so gonna put on weight. shall continue with my winnie the pooh puzzle in a while. (: but for now. i shall go youtube and watch winx club. ok. this is so not my age but there's nothing wrong with liking faeries and their magical powers right?. blame the sailormoon anime. it makes me like winx club. lol. and i can be youthful at heart even though it's less than 2 months time to my birthday.
changed the skin. just thought it was time.
wanted to add to the previous post. i guess i've found what's most important to me. i used to think the world of grades, whether i make it or break it. but recently, i realise, what's the point? besides, sometimes i feel that i can just resign to fate. perhaps it's fated what comes and goes. now i truly understand what i want.
i just want to feel happier, to feel happy with what i am doing. which is why i thought, no matter how hard the A level papers are, i will walk out without regrets. grades is just another thing. and that explains why i let go. i thought i wasnt so stress over the exams. i'll just do my best. thanks to those who've given me so much encouragement, to finally convince myself to change my mindset. thanks loads especially to enqin, ziyin, my sis and not forgetting my mum.
tmr shall be intensive physics mcq for 7 hours.
3 days to END OF A LEVELS. (:
wah! i cant wait anymore. haha. i dont know why i've got this sudden urge to blog a few days ago. oops. exams arent over yet. ): nevermind.
i'm so glad i learnt so much more than just the exam itself during this period of time. yes, things happened and it was hard for me at the start, the fact that it was right before the major exam. perhaps because it's been ages (ok. it's just 6 years difference) since i last took a major examination but it's never too late to learn and to gain the experience.
my dad left for shanghai on my sister's birthday on a school trip. to children whose parents are always flying on business trips, they will probably think it's normal but for a family with no one being away for longer than a week, it is vastly different. ok. maybe it's just me and the way i'm brought up. i was lost, longing for someone to cling onto. now i really appreciate how it feels not to have someone so dear to you not beside you. i cried that night my daddy left. reality was just so harsh to me. no one was going to ride to school with me, wishing me all the best for my day's paper. no one was there for me to call after every single paper to hear my rants. no one was going to me at home giving me all the encouragement. it was just not normal not to have my daddy home beside me.
i was glad i was able to pull out of that fast. the next day, i started persuading myself positively (and because exams was in 2 days time. i need to focus). i should stop being selfish, trying to keep my daddy for myself. i realise i should be glad instead. how often would someone at the age of 50 have the opportunity to travel and to really experience what cannot be experienced when one is on a tour? i feel proud that my daddy has the chance. while yes, there was so much at home that was maintained by him, i was sure my mum, sis and myself would be able to cope. like now, i do enjoy waking up early to make breakfast and to feed the guppies. (: it helps remind me of my daddy too. he calls home every night and it's really amusing to hear what's going on in shanghai, from the hostel food to the weather, to how he keeps his morning wake up time of 5am to do exercise, to bringing the girls to the hospital as they're ill and the funny things he bought like a tv phone. the first time i heard i went huh? but it is interesting. he even went to some place where it's like a mini arcade (i think) and played the game of hitting the crocodiles. he said it was to destress which i doubt he needed. -.- i remember playing that when i was a kid. my dad's a big kid. (: I REALLY CANT WAIT FOR HIM TO BE HOME. I WANNA GIVE MY DADDY A BIG HUG.
sometimes i feel i'm a really spoilt kid who is so reliant on my parents. and i dont want to let go. i miss my daddy so much and yes, i cant wait for him to be home.
lesson learnt: cherish and appreciate having people close to you. you dont want to regret one day when they're really gone.
was talking to my mum the other day about how bad the exam papers were so far (yes, they're disastrous. a whole lot tougher than 2007's). to tell the truth, i never thought i could make it to a uni. i was saying perhaps i should just go to a poly after A's. and then, she started nagging at me to stop thinking about it, to finish the exam and take my break before the results are released, then decide what i would want to do and where to go. i was quite pissed off at first but i realise what she said is true. i need to see the results first which i am 100% sure it would be Cs, Ds and Es. i'm not surprise if i fail. physics and chem papers were average, math was slightly easier than prelims, econs was a zillion times worse than prelims and GP was disastrous as well. I NEED A MIRACLE (which sadly, only cambridge can grant). most of us came out saying let's hope the bell curve shifts/skews by a lot. it's a matter of time. (pray hard. -.-)
went for dental today. it's christmas colours this time! (: red on top, green for the bottom.
my after-exam list:
1) shop for jigsaw puzzles
2) eat buffet!
3) go exercise
4) do up my undone jigsaw puzzles (ok. i love jigsaw puzzles. *hint* dont ask me why. perhaps it flows in the genes. haha.)
5) go out with my dad when he comes home
6) figure out what i want to do in future
7) resume guzheng lessons
8) shop for christmas cards (yes. my yearly routine. look out for one! if i remember to mail you. haha.)

i've taken a liking in free cell.
