Obscurity. It's there, I can feel it in my bones. But somehow, that thing just never surfaces. Much as I would like it to come out, it doesn't want to. Or maybe it's just shy...

Greenlink and the duties involved are killing me. Proposals, Green Audit, then reached home at 10pm just now from GVN office... Blooiee sooner or later I'll just crumble like a cookie. But heck at least this weekend I'll be overseas so I'll just take it as a form of relaxation.

I'm seriously lagging behind in my tutorials. I keep reminding myself to do my tutorial assignments, but somehow the incentive is just not there. Carrots don't work. Neither do forced persuasion. PIBROCH. Was glancing at Ruth's notebook as she was flipping through it. The word that was most outstanding was PIBROCH. What a lamentation. At least I know I'm not alone... Hee...

Darlie toothpaste... They're probably the only toothpaste that doesn't test on animals.

And the last thing I need to know is that I'm so popular in a particular science class, such that everyone turns their head at the sight of "the Greenlink president"... And I'm supposed to feel honoured when people chase up to me aimlessly... Oh I feel like a celebrity... ^_^

Food wish list: GUMMY BEARS, steamed crabs, pancakes, JELL-O, chendol, TIRAMISU ICE CREAM, ice kachang, prata, YONG TAU FOO, the stuff that Chiew Yee always eat but refuses to give me, PORRIDGE, soya milk, BANANAS, Chewy... Oh gosh my stomach is insatiable...

Hmm... I've almost reached the end of another week... Got back all my Common Tests results. BOEE and a C5. Well, what can I say? Work harder for Promotional Exams?? Oh heck, there's just too many stuff to be done at the moment. But hey, look on the bright side: I've been saying "blooiee" so much, so it's only fair if I get BOEE... And remember what Ms Teo told us?? Her student slept through all his lectures and tutorials and in the end he got BED. So technically speaking if I eat a lot in college I'll get FOOD... Blee this is dumb...

I've decided to make pancakes for myself tomorrow. Was at Temasek Junior College yesterday for a "River of Dreams" talk about Australia's rivers, then after that I went to get the pancake shake and syrup... I got Green's Crêpe Shake and Green's Maple Flavoured Syrup... According to the recipe it didn't seem too difficult to make those pancakes, so yup, pancakes for my meals tomorrow...




Maple Syrup Crêpe
1. Preheat a 20cm frypan and grease well.
2. Shake Green's Crêpe Shake bottle to loosen dry mix.
3. Remove lid, do not discard.
4. Add 2 cups (500ml) water to bottle. Replace lid. Turn bottle upside down, tap lid sharply on bench to loosen mix. Shake well.
5. Pour batter into entire base of frypan (approx 1/4 cup of batter). Cook over a low to medium heat for 1 - 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
6. Add Green's Maple Flavoured Syrup for taste. Serve hot.

Fanny and Shang Lim went back to Hong Kong today. Yesh it was kinda nostalgic to think about this... Atiqah, Beetsma and me met up together to send them off at the airport at around 2pm... Took pictures, hugged/shaked hands, joking around, exchanged our addresses and emails etc... The routine stuff that you do when you're parting ways... Boy was I sad to see them leave. It was only one week with them, but somehow in that week it never occured to me to treasure our time together... I guess departure is the only time that you learn to hold true to the things that are dear in your hearts... Yesh Fanny, being her sweet self, gave all of us a card each, while I've never seen Shang Lim so serious at all for this whole week... But all things have to have a finality, and I suppose this is one of them. Hope you guys do well for your exams! Beets cried, while me and Atiqah were just sad that they're leaving, but somehow still happy for them. All of three of us seriously considered geting a air ticket to HK or to kidnap the two of them...

Hee hee, but oh well... I think I hate the airport. Everytime I go there it's to send people off. Can't someone I know arrive in Singapore for a change?? Oh I want cheese fries. IT'S VERY FATTENING. But heck, I need to gain weight anyway. Oh I'm thinking of making jelly for myself. Maybe I'll prepare it tomorrow, but I need the ingredients first. Oh I'm going to Bekok (Malaysia) from 29th to 31st July for Endau Rompin trip. Going there to help the orang asli kids in the forest, possibly with Shufen and Adrian and Jeff.

Blooiee... I think everytime I say "Oh" I'm being shuffle... Oh [shuffle] I got this from Sheng De's blog...

Your Birthdate: November 21

Being born on the 21st day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life. The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental. There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, "couldn't care less" attitude. You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression. Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing. You are energetic and always a good conversationalist. You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters. Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about. You are affectionate and loving, but very sensitive. You are subject to rapid ups and downs.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

I'VE REACHED THE END OF THE WEEK... Gosh I'm so glad that Friday finally arrived... This whole week I've been whining and complaining that "I want my Friday", cos my Fridays are my most slack days in school... Whee hee... Anyway, morning was Economics and Literature... Oh I found that I identified with Ted Hughes' poem Pibroch... It's such a lamentation and harbours such a bleak outlook that I think Hughes probably wrote this poem for me... Err okie maybe not...

PE was supposed to be frisbee, but because I failed my standing broad jump so I had to go for make-up PE training... It's highly dumb for me because of all the people there who failed their NAPFA, everybody was either 2.4km or pull-up, but I'm the only lost soul there who failed broad jump... Okay maybe the nearest is Kai Jie who failed his jump AND pull-up, but then again he's capable of clearing his jump it's just that he has a 50-50 chance of passing that station... Blooiee oh and the Hong Kong attachment students joined us for PE too! Oh I haven't explain yet! My school's got this group Hong Kong students who joined us for attachment, then this week there's two of them shadowing our class, yup and I'm the buddy for Shang Lim, then Beets got this girl called Fanny...

Yup, then it was Geography, and during break time Shang Lim gave me this handphone pouch that was in the shape of a cheong-sam, and we took pictures and talked a lot because they'll be going back to Hong Kong on Sunday... then I went to the Oasis to meet Hsiu Tzu and Jun Ying for a Greenlink mini-meeting, then went for Maths and I WAS FREE FROM ALL LESSONS!!

Went home, then I went to Junction 8 to get some stuff, then went for youth service with Cheryn and we played games for the night! Okay I was emcee for the pictionary/charades, kinda lame but still fun... Then my cell group decided not to have cell cos it was quite late already, so we just sat around bumming and listening to Andre and Rachel Kwan arguing... Hee I've never seen Rachel so crazy before... Then went home and here am I... BLOOIEE...

WHAT A DAY... I'm feeling so tired and crappy right now... So far this whole week I'm just dragging my toes around, trying to curl up anywhere and catch up on my lost sleep... Crap I'm surviving on 3 hours of sleep a day, and I want sleep desperately but I just COULDN'T... And I reached home at 11pm today (tonight)!! Yesh was at a meeting at the SEC office with Grant and Grace about green activities for the rest of this year... It turned out more to be a political discussion, but anyway, bottom line is I'M TIRED.

Oh yesh I'm quite happy with Geography... I got a decent grade B!! This despite 3 days of hard work... But dang, Rhoda beat me to being top in class... Bargh but I'm happy... At least being tired has its perks and peaks at the right moments of my life...

SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP...

GUMMY BEARS!! Oh my gosh they're so cute and cuddly and best of all they're available in neon colours which sort of filter the translucent bear when you hold it in light... AAHHH!! And you can just put the entire gummy bear into your mouth and keep chewing on them and you will never get tired of the taste even after you eat three million gummy bears!! WHEE!! Oh if you put them in water, they become very absorbent and swell till those bears look bloated! And I just love to bite their heads off and see those headless gummy bears... AAAHHHH!! I'M GOING TO BUY MYSELF LOADS OF GUMMY BEARS...

Oh crap I've been extremely busy this week... I'm supposed to be checking my email everyday for important documents, but I haven't got the time at all to go online... So now I've got 73 unchecked emails in Gmail and plenty more in Yahoo's (which I don't think I want to check), AND IT'S BARELY 4 DAYS ONLY!! Blee blooiee blee bloo... Oh well here's what else I've done (in point form) for this week:~

Greenlink meeting with Huiling and Junying
-Regarding administrative matters like CCA Best Practices and 2 years worth of Greenlink documents... Gosh that's two thick files worth of paper...

Mini-worship with Faith, Eleanor and Greg
-AWESOME... Played the guitar, never knew a simple song like Heart of Worship could make such an impact...

14 GP article reviews
-Ms Phua haven't ask for it yet (at this moment). Dang if I had known I might have dragged it a bit longer and gotten more sleep... It's going to be an additional 2 next week...

Project Work Oral Presentation Workshop
-The instructor was superb! All of us have to present a speech while they videotape us, and let's just say that I look really weird when doing a public speech... Are you sure that's me?? Oh I was camera-man

NJ Band Etude XXX
-Venue was Victoria Concert Hall... It was quite good, but not really exceptional... For me the best band concert is Catholic High Symphony Band!!

1st Greenlink EXCO meeting
-Hmm, settled most of the admin matters too, everyone turned up, new teacher in Greenlink (Ms Wong), everything was smooth and okay... Again I felt weird speaking so much... And from the looks of it they DO have high expectations for every Greenlink president...

Practical Criticism and Mathematics Common Tests
-Flunked them both. I got 21.5/50 for PC, and my maths was 43/100 which was a O7... I'm depressed...


Cheerios to me-self. I made it through another week.

Whee ha! I watched the Wimbledon 2005 men's final between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick last night. And it was superb! I meant the match... Somehow or rather I thought Samuel was the best tennis player I ever witnessed playing good tennis... Yesh yesh maybe I'm a bit too shallow, after all Sam is still only a JC-student playing for NJ's tennis team... And Federer is WORLD NO. 1 and Roddick was NO. 4 I think...

Roddick didn't stand a chance. Federer was obviously just too good, making Roddick run all over the court and smashing and squeezing out winners from tight spaces... OH GOSH IT WAS SUCH A CLASSY MATCH!!

OH OH OH and I think Roddick is good-looking!! VERY VERY!! And Federer's not too bad off either... I think he's got the flamboyant-n-hip look and looks sexy! Blee I'm going nuts... But the two of them are just sooo cute!! AAAHHHH!!





CUTE!! AAHHH!! SOO CUTE!!!! [No I'm not gay...]

I just discovered my crazy obsession with words ending with "-ee"!!! AAHHH!!! Words ending with "-ee" are just simply wonderful and brilliant and awesome!! OH MY OH MY OH MY !! You see, there's Hasee Bounce at Neopets and they're simply adorable! Go play their game and listen to their soundtrack!! I'm trying to upload their soundtrack, but couldn't cos it's a Macromedia Flash file... BARRGH, then I'm always laughing hee hee hee instead of the more conventional haha-s, because hee hee hee sounds so much better! And Peiying and her blee-s, crap I'm starting to catch it too!! OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR... Then I created a bloo which was supposed to be in counter-response to Peiying's blee, but along the way it slowly evolved into blooiee, which is so much more adorable-sounding!! I drank coffee this morning! And I like to say eeyer when there's something disgusting, and eew when someone is being disgusting (Yesh there is a difference)... Biru is a Tweety Bird! I just created a Kacheek! When I'm excited I go whee! And there's even the surname Luke/Mark Wee!! The world's just full of "-ee"... If I had my way my name will be Guan You-ee!!

Oh my gosh I totally forego my sleep in trying to study for Literature... Last night, or rather early morning, I stayed up till 4.30am? I was trying to find any King Lear study guides on the Lit notes websites, well wasn't too successful, then I tried looking for notes on Ted Hughes "larger-than-life" poems and bling! Loads of essays on loads of his poems... He's a nut, he really is. Nobody asked him to see things in such a weird view anyway, but it was kinda fun studying for Lit...

And the paper was not too bad! Okay it was bad in some ways, I crapped most of what Lear and Kent were supposed to be doing or what I think they're doing, then Hughes' Hawk Roosting was relatively okay and my Practical Criticism was a load of junk but I found out later that Ruth wrote most of the same "junk" as me, so I can't be too far off right??

Oh I went to Suntec with Siew Peng just now after Lit... Our project work group was supposed to be phone-interviewing the person at IDA, but somehow all we got was his answering machine... So me and Siew ended up going to Suntec because she had to meet her friend there, walked around hee-hee-ing around then I got home... Going out to eat butter crabs with Cheryn and Andre and Dora and Yan Peng and goodness know who else... BUTTER CRABS!! Doesn't that sound a bit like Ghost-Crabs?? BOO!

Oh, Neopets haiku of the day...

Yesterday describes
mountaintop assimilates
regrettable Lupe.

Ahh yesh yesh Common Tests this week. IT'S SO STRESSFUL!! I'm surprised I even lasted this far... Gosh what can I even say? I'm so so sooo rubbish-fied by this whole week of tests, oh yesh I am but at least it's not too bad also... Monday was GP and Geography, I wrote about animal experimentations for the development of products beneficial to humans and whether this was morally acceptable... Hee hee that's so typical of me, so yup naturally I said it was a sick, depraved and perverse, blooie hooey then Geography was kinda "scraped through"... I didn't touch the subjects on limestone at all, then Malthus was too much a pessimist and I think I invented some of Boserup's theories... Anyway on Tuesday it was Mathematics, they gave us like 500 million identities to prove, so I just conveniently did some junk workings, worked backwards a little bit and equate them whenever I had the chance... Don't think the teachers are going to buy that though... But what is the point of proving identities when they are already shown to be true?!? That was some dumbo's logic...

Yep, yesterday for lunch Kai Jie, Atiqah and me went to Namly Cafe at SIM, Creamy Mushroon Pasta was superb!! Oh well partly because of the huge amount of mushrooms that they laddled into the plate... Hee, then for the rest of yesterday I tried to study for Economics (which was today) and crap, I failed miserably. Ended up online for most of the afternoon playing Neopets... I wanna create a Kacheek!! Then I went to the Money Tree and donated 1NP one at a time until I donated a total of 50 NP... And after that wherever and whichever shop I went, I got a lot of Random Events and picked up a lot of cash and items... Okay okay (smacks myself) back to trying to study for Econs. THEORY OF PRODUCTION AND COST IS ONE NONSENSICAL SCREWED-UPSIDE-DOWN FAILURE OF LOGICAL CONGECTURES!! Gosh that theory had billions of graphs and formulae... And things are not helping when all the terms seem so similar, like you need to know the difference between Marginal Costs, Average Fixed/Variable Costs, Total (Fixed/Variable) Costs... Then there's the Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns and Returns to Scale and concepts of economies of scale and least cost combination and LOADS OF ADDITIONAL JUNK!! GAARRRGGGH!!

Oh well I gave up trying to understand them. Maybe they should try and understand me instead. Bah I went to bed at 10.30pm last night, but woke up at 1am because I felt so bad about not studying that lousy chapter and it was an important chapter and likely to make up 50% of the test which also equates to 10% of my grades for Promotional Exams... GAARRRGGGH!! I took 5 minutes to look at the Econs notes again, decided it to be rubbish and went online again... Ha! I'm glad I did so because I was whining to Hsiu Tzu and she suggested that I try revising for it again later in the morning. Okay I went to sleep shortly after, woke up at 4am to try and study but nothing went in... All I could only remember was the Total Fixed Cost curve because it's just one straight horizontal line on the x-y axis... Went back to sleep, woke up at 6am and went to school early... AHH YESH YESH!! I revisited the topic on the bus, then sat at the grandstand and suddenly things just made sense!! Don't ask me how, I just read the notes s-l-o-w-l-y again and *poof*! It just made sense, it so very did... But the crappy thing was morning assembly was starting soon and I was still left with economies of scale... So I proposed a plan to Sheng-De that we skip assembly and go hide somewhere to study... We chose the toilet next to the Student Lounge, there was this big toilet with well-lit and enough ventilation... But best of all there was even a bench there (yesh in the toilet) for us to sit down and revise... HA! What was nonsense to me earlier became logical theories... And the Econs paper asked for the difference between all the economies of scale and I was able to answer that because I spent my last half-hour before the test in a toilet covering that exact topic... WHOO HOO!!

After the paper ended I was very happy!! Very very happy... Ate lunch in school then hung around with my friends who were waiting for their Malay/Chinese papers. Well I don't have any, and neither did Siew Peng, so we went walking around, found Janvin and his "girlfriend" hiding in one sleazy corner of the library, tried to make the dispensing machine work cos I wanted Minute Maid Limeade, drawing smiley faces all over the foolscap paper... Bargh I do a lot of rubbish and crazy things, so unless you think I'm normal, well just adapt to Guan You's behavior and hope I turn normal soon.

Ooh this is a pretty long entry... If you made it all the way to this statement, thanks for enduring all my shuffle notes... I'm going to sleep now... *Swelling like a baked potato*...

Yesh thank you all for all your concern... Oh well I was very sad yesterday, as in very very sad, and all I did was put a "unhappy smiley face" on MSN Messenger... I think it's quite dumb, how can a unhappy face be a "unhappy smiley face"??? Okie that's not the point... Later on the single "unhappy smiley face" slowly grew into 5 "unhappy smiley faces", then the most "unhappy smiley faces" at one time was 7...

Thanks everyone who cared enough to ask why I'm so sad and everything... Then Tammy sent this rubbishy news report of this Iraqi nut and hee hee hee hee... Oh and after a while I got so bored of being online, so I started switching my status from Online to Appear Offline then back to Online again *process repeats itself*, nope I'm not nuts I'm just trying to irritate everyone... So the whole time I think everyone on my contact list who's online must be pissed off with the "Display alerts when contacts come online" tool, or they just might be pissed off with me... But it's cool don't you think?? Peiying did the same thing to me, and the alerts just kept appearing and piling themselves one on top of the other, so all I see are many pictures of Patrick and many lines of her nick Mrs. Starfish... Gaarrrgggh okay that WAS irritating, so I stopped doing it after a while...

Now my unhappy mood is non-existent already, but I still put 4 "unhappy smiley faces" just for the effect... Oh and thanks to the anonymous person who put Galatians 6:9 on the quackie boxing...

I hate grapes. I detest them. I just hate how the skin is tasting like rubber and no matter how much I chew the skin it always ends up in a chewed ball and refuses to get itself down my gullet. And if the grapes has seeds and I accidentally chew on them then there's that bitter taste and raw chunks of the broken seed and in the end whatever that's in my mouth has to be spit out... YEUCKS... The worst is the squishy too-sweet fruit that just squish and squash and mash in my bicuspids and molars, and mixed with the rubbery skin and OMIGOSH... How can anyone like grapes???

I'm tired. Stupidly tired of everything the way things are. Feeling so dimb that sometimes I just feel like giving up. "Give, but never give up"... Which idiot said that? I gave my all, everything that I had, all my time and energy and EVERYTHING, and in the end it all came to nothing. All along I just assumed that things were fine because I didn't know what troubles existed in the first place, and if I didn't even know of that then how am I supposed to even go about solving it?? I feel so spent now... Investing everything that I've got, and here you come popping by not appreciating, but demanding more... "Give, but never give up"... Thrash that lousy piece of advice... What's the point of you giving so much and nothing constructive comes out of it? Worse, people don't even realise how much you've done and they demand some more out of you... Would you give, or would you give up??

Oh well... On the brighter side I recovered from my sicknesses... Had flu, then shortly after chasing the flu virus away I got fever and cough... Now my fever's subsided but my throat is still a bit squeky... Was supposed to be going down for Animal Conference on Thursday but something else cropped up and by the time it was settled I had 3 missed calls and 6 messages unanswered... Shucks, then yesterday morning I actually had a Literature lecture at 9am in school, woke up at 8am and after I changed and was just about to leave house, when Cheryl forwarded a message from Ms Teo cancelling the lecture... Shucks again, things just never ever go right for me... I ended up meeting Atiqah at school at 9.30am to water the plants at the Spice Garden, then went for 2 hours of Maths trigo revision.

I feel like I have a million things to do. Common Tests in 2 more days, oh okay at least I studied quite a bit, but still not enough... I just want to throw everything aside and not bother about anything at all. Sometimes the situation is just so bleak that I really question myself what is the point of going on at all??

Alright maybe not all the time. Cell group last night was a refreshing time, for me to know that no matter what may happen in my life the whole week, every Friday night I still have 12 awesome people alongside me... Yep we gave Biru a special birthday surprise, I met Rachel Tan and Ming Hui, and later Jolene to go buy her cake, then Ben was incapable of lighting a matchstick and I got burned by candles... Yup but it was fun. Biru came up with this Certificate of God's Ministry, where everyone just pass a personalised piece of paper around and write the talents that God has blessed the person with... And when we finished with the activity and I took a look at my own CGM, I'm just so encouraged by this group of people that I'm leading... Somehow it makes your time so worthwhile to see each of them horsing among themselves and growing in the Lord and using their talents in a positive way...

Give, but never give up? We'll see... There are times when I give till I want to give up, yet there are times too like last night's cell... Father in Heaven, I need the strength to persevere and go on...

OMIGOSH SQUIDWARD IS SOO CUTE!! HE'S PROBABLY THE MOST ADORABLE CREATURE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!! Oh well, okay maybe not, cos ducks are the cutest already... BUT SQUIDWARD IS STILL IRRESISTIBLE!

Okay I just watched Spongebob Squarepants on Kids Central. Well it's not as if I get to watch it everyday, but then today was an exception cos I was quite free, and gosh the "Squid's Day Off" one was very very shuffle and cute and funny and interesting!! Cos it had Squidward as the main character rather than all Spongebob only or Spongbob and Patrick or some other weird combination... AARGH I'M GOING NUTS but then Squidward is so charming and I can't help it! Especially when he was haunted by Spongebob's superfluous tone "I'm going to destroy the Krusty Krabs!"


And that grumpy tormented image which made him so old-looking...

And the last image of him naked with that last pink bubble and Spongebob had to lend his Squarepants to him...


OMIGOSH!! SQUIDWARD TENTACLES IS SOO CUTE!!! HE SHOULD BE MADE THE STAR OF THE SHOW!! AARGH!!!

[Oh, the flu bugs caught me... Sniff... But I think Squidward chased them away... Blooiee...]

Hee! I can't believe I actually got down to serious studying! I feel so proud of myself... For once I managed to sit down still for 3 hours to complete my Maths assignment questions! WHOO!!

Okay that aside... I went out with Rachel Tan, Peiying and Minghui today to go buy Biru's present... Yesh I know Biru will be reading this entry, so I shall not reveal anything about what we bought her... Ah ha I'm so smart! Okay I was 5 minutes late in meeting them, cos all three of them early birds were at Orchard MRT at 12.30pm when we were supposed to be meeting at 1pm, and yesh I know I'm not exactly very punctual... (Hollers: I'M WORKING ON THAT!) Yup we merrily went shopping from store to store, saw like millions of nice stuff that we probably would want to buy for ourselves rather than Biru, but yesh after an eventful one hour half of walking (I think) we finally managed to get the present/s... Yesh it was quite entertaining to go shopping with them, cos Rachel is probably more interested in her own shopping, and then Ming Hui has some funny ideas somewhere and Peiying is totally unexpectedly shuffle EVERYWHERE... Anyway we went to MacDonald's for lunch, then all of us took bus 162 home including Ming Hui... The bus was very crowded, then all of a sudden Peiying just gave one of her high-pitched cries, turned out that she saw this friend called Daniel who was on the bus too, then she was too shy to go talk to him or whatever, I have no idea cos she just kept whining and sighing in those high notes... Then somehow me and Rachel ended up hitting each other's head and shoulders (Nope it's not the shampoo) a lot... We were playing the ubiquitous "orgh-gui-chia" game, hee... Then after a while it became "spot-the-yellow-vehicle" game and hitting the shoulders and going "banana vehicle"... Yesh we were that lame... Yep then I took to my bus-stop and went home... (:

Tammy just introduced me to Hoops and Yoyo... Gosh I don't even know what kind of creatures they are... But they're cute!! Yesh yesh!! They're some product of Hallmark (the card manufacturer)... Go check out their site! Both Hoops and Yoyo are a bit spastic, but you'll find wallpapers and screensavers and other rubbish, and yesh there are emoticons over there for MSN Messenger... And guess what's the best bit?? HOOPS IS PINK!!! YEEHAA!!

Hoops... & Yoyo...

Oh my gosh I lost 4 kg in the past month!! My grandma came over to visit and she asked me whether I was on a diet or something... I said no and then she thought I was stressed from school work cos according to her I looked like I lost 10 kg or something. Seriously, do I look that bad?? Everyone is commenting that I look so sleepy or tired or haggard or whatever else they're calling me... And all along I thought it was my hair cos my hair is quite long now and it's moggy and scrumpy and kinda making me look like a ol' dump with too little sleep... BARRGHH... I don't even know why I'm losing weight in the first place... I WANT FRIED CHICKEN!! I'm hungry now... All I want is crispy fried chicken (with loads of chilli sauce) and tender and crispy and fattening and oily and greasy and unhealthy fried chicken... Oh crap this is killing me... GARRGGHH...

Yup, I went to Pasir Ris Park today with my church cell group... Rachel Kwan and Charmaine couldn't make it, barrgh, but oh well, other than that we had quite a good time... Gosh I think I'm waking up earlier and earlier every morning... IT'S THE HOLIDAYS!! Oh well, I woke up at 8.30am, got a quick shower and went to corps to meet them first. The meeting time was supposed to be 9.15am, and I think I stepped into corps at 8.45am, couldn't be sure... Guess what? Jolene and her cousin Jo Yong were even earlier than me... Oh did I mention Jolene decided to bring her cousin to tag along... So while the two of them are indulging in their breakfast I just sat there stonily, until Biru came and shortly after Rachel Tan arrived too... Waited till 9.30am? For Andre and Coleman and Felix to appear... I think we were never on time as far as I can remember. Hee, to quote Joel, if you want to be on time you sit on a clock... *SHUFFLE* Okay, we actually arranged to meet Dora on the bus after all of us have gathered at corps, but the "good" news was that the sleepy girl was still at home... In the end we waited for Dora to turn up at 10am, and poor Ming Hui and Peiying... Told them to meet at Pasir Ris MRT at 10am, but we were still in BIshan at that time... Hee... Took bus 88 there, along the way we're trying to interrogate all of Andre's love stories, checking his phone messages etc. The bus trip took 55 minutes, ah ha, just short of a full hour... Met up with the 2 poor lost souls (Ming Hui and Peiying) who looked so romantic waiting together... We wanted to take a bus there but decided not to cos our butts were sore after sitting down for 55 minutes... Walked to Pasir Ris Park, snapped a photo at the signboard, went straight to the playground and we went crazy! Yep playing swings and slides and climbing the spider-webbed structure and horsing around. Gosh it was hard to believe us people sometimes. And yesh, I never realised that Peiying is capable of screaming or whining or shouting or whatever-noise-she-was-making at a constant high G note... Most of them scrambled to the top of the spider-webbed structure, took more photos then we went for lunch. We ordered our food, the total bill came up to $23.70... Then we walked over to the bike rental shop, we each got ourself one bike except Biru and Ming Hui who got a tandem bike cos Ming Hui didn't know how to cycle, then we cycled our guts out for the next hour, covered the entire Pasir Ris Park at least twice?? Yup yup, we returned the bikes at 2.30pm with wobbly legs, headed down to the beach for some frisbee-tossing and wading in the sea. All was well until Andre found this dead snake that was washed in by the tides... And so began a most intriguing time of trying to dissect the snake... Andre found this chopstick somewhere, and started stabbing the snake in an attempt to try and cut the snake body open, well, it didn't work... Could see the blood flowing out from the head, but after lots of jabbing all that remained was this small opening at the side, and when Andre tossed it back into the water, immediately this swarm of water maggots swam over and just started to feast at the opening... And yesh, you can literally see the maggots geting bigger and bigger every minute; they started out small but swelled to the size of a small beetle... Okay even I'm grossed out now. Change subject... Okay Andre went top-less... Not like we wanted to see anything anyway... Oh and the frisbee fell into the sea and Jeremy waded in till the water was chin-high? Other than that it was pretty much it, till we went home on the bus back to Pasir Ris bus terminal and on the bus 88 again for another long trip home...

Honey & Lemon drink

You'll need:
1 tablespoon of honey
half a lemon
warm water
ice-cubes if you want it chilled

Squeeze the lemon and collect the juice in a cup. Mix the honey together with the lemon juice and add warm water. Sweetness can be varied by adding more/less honey. Add ice if desired.

[o.o]

My sore throat disappeared after that... Somehow, in some weird way, the sour taste just numbs your gums entirely, but after that is a underlying sweet taste of honey that lingers on your tongue... Ahh yesh that was soothingly sweet and refreshing...

Yesh I know I just changed my blog music to this chinese song titled 童话... Surprise surprise... There's a CHINESE SONG on Guan You's blog... I think this is some kind of record for me... Hmm, Hsiu Tzu sent me the song, then the kids at the K3 camp loved this as well. I don't see the fascination with it, except that it sounds like a nice, soppy love song... Hee... Got lyrics too!

忘了有多久 再没听到你
对我说你最爱的故事
我想了很久 我开始慌了
是不是我又做错了什么

你哭着对我说 童话里都是骗人的
我不可能是你的王子
也许你不会懂 从你说爱我以后
我的天空 星星都亮了

我愿变成童话里 你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信 相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局

一起写我们的结局
