that's what i've been up to over the weekends (which is so so so not over. yet.)

different people i meet daily.

different kind of fun i'm being exposed to.

i'm thankful that God put such angels in my life :)

i'm hoping that the 7 days out there would be just as fun :)

these two friends want to be known as the ones who saved my liver last night. as much as i know, their persistence in disallowing me to have a little nice drink resulted in me being severely upset by the end of the day. and i discovered my "disease" in not being able to refrain from asking for the time every few moments apart. yes, it's a disease. and that they laugh at my chinese a lot, just cos i'm easily confused :( like how i'm confused with which word comes first in a phrase. until now, i still cant tell which is correct. 看小 or 小看, 下手 or 手下...... anyways, we had a whole lot of fun and mt. e friends, i'm NOT UPSET. thanks for the care and concern *hugs*! next time, can we dont wait there for the rain to stop? we can always go to the bistro that's just upstairs :D

//rest are on facebook :)



sunday morning spent differently.. it's one of the very few times where i hang out with a friend instead of going to church or going out with my family. but it was well spent. the dim sum craving is over. i can fly in peace now. LOL. we're not supposed to meet until 2 weeks later, but dim sum comes first. i dont think i can wait 2 weeks. yes, i'm that impatient :/ and spontaneous outings ftw!

i guess we spent too much on dim sum today. but the money was well spent :D :D :D i dont mind doing this weekly. hahaha! ambience was great, food was awesome, company was ftw luh. this kinda combination is heavenly! and and and i love the fun in ordering food not once, not twice, but three times! hahaha. i guess the waiters were kinda annoyed? but i love doing it :p and the total damage was just 5cents away from $49. woots! after that was ion-ing and I GOT MY PICTUREKA AND ROYCE' CHIPS. two thumbs up! hee hee hee. thanks jesslyn for going to get my stuff with me today. now i can really fly in absolute peace with myself!

that comfortable life i once led is now back. no more myosin, actin, hypothalymus, anterior pituitary blah blah blah for a month (since im so sure i need to retake it next sem, oh well!)

my exams are finally over, i can glee IN THE OPEN now. no need for alt-tab and using earphones.

i can sleep in now. which i havent been doing so for the past 3 weeks. i think my clock is kinda weirded out now. i need to sleep more!

i need to do so many things and i'm going to have to find them to do them. christmas shopping is one big thing. considering i had a month plus last year to do shopping and almost couldnt finish, now i'm given only 20 days, i am sure i cannot finish. GAH!

anyway anyway anyway, ytd's paper was DAMN FUN! HAHAHAHA! i was just sitting there stoning for like eternity long? every other qn never fail to blow me off my seat. it's that tough. and yea, given my "creativity" when it comes to doing mcq, my tikam tikam methods are two thumbs up. i used a verse of a worship song for every qn that i really couldnt do. i chose C for those that i have a slight inkling of what the qn is asking for. and i was so free during the paper that i even had time to flash a cheeky look to my dear friend sitting somewhere diagonally infront of me :D hahaha! and she thought i was done when i was still going through 13 qns worth of "worship song tikam-ing" :D anyway, we left the exam hall once we were done and then headed for our post exam compulsory relaxation programme!

sidetrack: if i were to choose one person to vote for when it comes to "vote for the person who never fails to make you laugh", i'd definitely vote for jesslyn fong. she never fails to say silly things that would set me off on my asmatic laughing spree. like how she calls dark clouds in the sky "ducks" ??!! oh and a clarification. she actually thought shaker fries was called "shaker's fries" ??!!

and so we went to marina area for relaxation purposes. plan A failed ttm cos it was raining. so we just walked aimlessly arnd those places until someone wanted to have dinner at 5. (yes, imagine my horror.) we ate at kenny rogers and boy, was that a good place to dine at, minus the blur waiters. and so we ate and ate and ate till we were full and went off to continue with plan A.


it was a whole lot of meat and i didnt think we could finish it. but ya, i dont finish my meat "clean-ly". and she smiles a frown?

the walk to singapore flyer was kinda long, and i dont really know my way on foot. so anyway, the sun was alrdy down. and that kinda killed plan A? but still it was fun :D :D :D


we're wasting so much electricity as a nation!



L: HAHAHA
R: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! this guy was busy stretching, we think. but his stretching pose were O_o



L,M,R: the Singapore Flyer in different light.
R: that's the result of laughing after someone said something funny while you're taking a photo. and she claims that it's nice.


L,R: the moon. so orange!



L: it looks just like the lamp.
R: big round moon to celebrate the end of exams!

i really like this photo cos if you're not observant, you may just miss the moon with all that light that's around you. it's the same in life luh. when you have too many things distracting you, you dont actually see the nice-ness that's seemingly far away.

i havent stayed out late in such a long time.. and i enjoyed every single moment of it. where there's wind, it's outdoor, there's a drink (but a horrible one at that) and with great company, it's the life! the quiet life. where you just laze there and not want to do anything else. time can just pass you as fast as a bullet train, but you dont even want to go after it. this is the life. its been a long time since i've led such a life. with all the rushing going on for the past few months, i think i've forgotten how to lead that kinda life. but last night, it was like a refresher course. HAHAHA. i so need wenka soon. let's go drink drink drink!

anyway, this exam journey hasnt exactly been a smooth sailing one with so many things going on in my head. but i'm glad everything's over. and by everything, i really mean everything :D not so much of immense happiness but happy enough. oh yea. and i definitely wouldnt have been able to do this whole exam shit on my own. so......
i witnessed a pimple grow in one day. fml. and my stupid ulcer isnt going away. it's been residing here since monday?! sucks ttm! and then i've so much packing and accounting to others to do now. rar.

last night was the first time in months since my mum called to ask what time i was going to be home.
problem she has with me staying out: no one to send me home.
maybe i shld get a chauffeur/body guard instead of a boyfriend. she's too reliant on others. TSK!

and if my mum calls me one last time to remind me to pack my study room, i'm so going to flush my notes down her toilet. PFFT!

okay, let's be peace-loving since i'm still in my celebratory mood. i'm going to have tuition in 2 hours. how awesome! it's been a week :/ i'm just hoping she's done her homework. it's not too much to ask for, i hope.

God bless all with happy hearts!

[cass is so dead. it's raining and my grey jeans are not washed. yet.]

in 21 hours, i'll be free from studying for a month.

i will be able to glee openly and not feel a tinge of guilt.

i will be able to list my shopping to be done somewhere out there.

i will be able to go christmas shopping! and maybe get a pair of nice earphones. or maybe not.

i will be able to spend more time convincing my dad to get us a Wii, instead of him trying to convince me to share cost.

i will be able to sleep so much longer and not feel jealous when i see my siblings in bed! awesome mania! and many thumbs up to this!

i will be able to enjoy this once more tmr! in with the new and out with the old :) so going to bring my camera tmr. sunset, wait for me. good weather, wait for me. help pray for NO rain tmr too. thanks!

i had an uber fun time studying for life science today. not the before lunch part, but definitely the after lunch part. maybe next time i can conduct tuition in this format. hahaha! oh, but i'm not going to share my new-found study method. it's going to remain a secret :)

just woke up from a nap awhile ago, so i'm feeling awfully groggy. if i were to pick up my notes now, i dont think anything would go into my head :( why am i feeling groggy? because i heard my bro asking my mum to get him an ipod touch and she actually said okay. NOT FAIR! and he woke me up with his piece of good news and to ask me the price. boo! and then to make things worse, he called me a sleepy pig. excuse me! what kind of brother is this. how not to feel groggy :(

See Mingkun Darryl, watch your back. pfft! i'll be waking you up EARLY tmr morning. PFFT!

okay, who want to stay in the hostel with me? i'm being given the green light, so i need to act fast in case it changes to an amber light.

God bless everyone with the gift of giving!

[cass is going to seek revenge tmr. HAH!]

it's december alrdy. can you believe it? i cant. what happened to my august, september, october and november?! i guess they crept away from me while i was too busy to enjoy them. i looked into my orange book to try recalling what happened, but all i saw were post its to remind me of an upcoming test. no life much :( but i'm glad all these are going on hiatus, albeit a short one. but still, ought to be thankful, right?

still not done with my exams. last paper on thursday. i havent started. but nvm. i got secret weapon *two thumbs up* :D

today's paper was nonsense. the paper started at 1. i finished all those that i could do at 2. thinking that the paper was ending at 230, i was happily bouncing in my seat. and i started to feel hungry. so my mind started running wildly. but smth made me flip my qn paper to the first page. and i saw that the duration was 2.5hrs. meaning it ends at 330 and i still had an hour and a half. boy, was i disappointed. so i went on to try to do those qns i had left. and the whole time, i was super distracted, people watching while doing those qns. i almost killed myself for being so.... child-like? lol. the last 90 mins was quite torturous, IMO. but im glad that my brains were working fine today. minus the part where 20 marks from the entire paper came from a particular part that we decided to skip studying. lol. fair enough since i didnt really put in that much effort. gah! i'm going to kill myself for saying this.


L: part of my mid-exam compulsory relaxation programme, i did up the exterior of my pencil BOX. nice nice nice? yea!
R: studying with Ruth after church on sunday. you dont know Ruth until you study with her. she is really into the subject she's studying. maybe that helps her to excel. and that's her with her Thai textbook O_o

blog-worthy 1: this morning, i woke up to find my absolutely adorable siblings still asleep while their poor sister had to wake up so early in the morning just to go to school to do last minute revision for a paper. and, they are absolutely adorable because they took the effort to match their sleepwear with their bed sheets. how adorable! they are so colour coordinated.


taadah! and their sleep posture isn't glam. notice how they're in a similar position? i hope i dont sleep like that too :S

gosh. i think my sister is blind cos she thought that photo of her was actually that of a teddy bear. oh please. blind ttm.

blog-worthy 2: after our paper, jesslyn and i went to jurong point to makan. on our way there, she did smth that my mum would normally do. "eh, we go eat the shaker? shakest? shaker? eh, what ah?" LOL! i burst out laughing luh. she just wanted to say shaker fries. and she had quite a bit of difficulty. so like my mum. seems like they have problems pronouncing such HIP TERMS. awww!


okay, i think i need to rest alrdy. ive been running around too much tonight.

God bless all with no beetles.

[cass wants moolah. moolah come come come!]

parents brought us out for a night drive and some shopping on thanksgiving night. it was all in the name of fun. and it really was fun. perhaps a bonding exercise for us all. they decided to go to Ion Orchard to look arnd. on our way there, traffic was really heavy. must be due to hari raya haji the next day. well, the christmas decorations weren't awesome or what. they made me feel so confused. too bright for my liking. especially when different sections of orchard road had different colours.. blue, then yellow, orange, then red. er... and the decorations are O_o gingerbread man, santa, stars...

and my brother in specs! i think that caught my attention more than the lights cos he's too vain to wear his specs out. ya, he has a problem with wearing his specs outside studying. so i was shocked when i saw him in his glasses in the car. sorry, im not that attentive. my eyes are too small to notice too many things. plus they were interrogating me about my policeman friend and my left leg woman (dont worry, they only asked if you're my studying buddy and that i shld treat you for teaching me bio). so i realised it only halfway into the drive there. ha!

my dad was trying so hard to take photos of us in front of ion. struggling cos we brought out 2 cameras. problem: both were running low on battery and kept shutting themselves down :D awesome possum! plus, it was super crowded so we had to wait for our turn. den when we finally got into Ion, my parents were just entering random shops. then we saw royce. (i love their chips coated with chocolate and my dad knows that) my childish dad was trying to bring my attention away by dragging me into other shops while we were en route to royce. den just before we entered, my dad said "oh, why is this shop named royce when it's selling jewelry?" i was totally stunned. for a moment, i almost fell for his trick. then i saw that ppl exiting the store were carrying the royce plastic bag. pfft! so i told my dad "i can make mummy buy a piece of 'jewelry' for me from here, just wait and see :p" and dragged my mum in. since i dont have the habit of bringing my wallet out, hahaha! my mum bought the chips and when my dad came in, "spend $15 again?" HAHAHA! mummy ftw!


L: my mum arranged us in this manner cos we're "colour-coordinated". and i like this photo cos i'm taller than my sister! and maybe my mum! which is not the case in real life :( and my brother looks so nerdy in his specs right right right? RIGHT!
R: this stupid thing scared the sh*t outta me. my dad, sis and i were waiting while my mum and bro were visiting the loo. my dad discovered the friggin' thing. i was standing directly in front of it, FACING it, but i didnt notice it. he started tapping the thing and some white stuff started to fall off. i was shocked and tried to avoid the damn thing, while my sis and dad were just laughing at me. THANKS! must be revenge for the $15. pfft.


L: inside the christmas tree which is outside Ion Orchard.
R: the crowd. yes, it was uber crowded. me no like crowded places.


these are us with the tree. i dont know how to caption these. oh, LOOK AT THAT BROTHER OF MINE. acting innocent. tsk!


and these are all the decorations luh. orchard and marina. we encountered a mad driver. either he's drunk or pure impatient. first, we noticed him cos he's tapping on his horn inconsistently as he's driving. next, we saw that he turned into a road which was opposing traffic. and he reversed his way out. in a traffic jam. then, every single time he stops, he'll just horn like a sustained note. it totally shut out the christmas music we were enjoying. and he was tailgating every single car. annoying ttm, eh? such drivers shld not be allowed on the roads. too much of a hazard to everyone arnd.

and so, no surprise, since i've been into glee these days, i find it hard to concentrate. and no surprise, i havent covered much thus far. which is bad. my progress for the past few days would just be one chapter and one qn from the past year paper book. which is a worthy murder weapon. or perhaps, a suicide weapon. it slashed my wrist a few times on tuesday night, by accident. today, while i was bringing the book down to study, i accidentally slashed my neck. yes, that's how dangerous it is. but the cuts are so tiny, you dont really see it, but you can feel it. on the neck, it burns. how do i know? because i was using my body scrub today and while washing my neck, it felt as though i was rubbing salt into the cut. i ended up wasting that handful of body scrub. you know, it's those with fruit extracts and what not in it? and it makes you smell awesome after a bath? yes, that kind.

and maybe i'm more accident prone these days. i was being chased around the house by my brother ytd afternoon. and boys run uber fast. and i needed to outrun him by alot. obstacle: staircase. problem: running up the stairs at super high speed can cause serious injuries if you miss a step. i almost fell because that little punk was just too fast for me! thank God for my sister who walked right into the "chase", stalling him, else i wouldnt have been able to hide in my room to catch my breath. seriously, it happened all too quickly, it was like doing shuttle run and aiming for an A. and then today, when i was going into the toilet, i didnt see the dustbin which was placed right smack in the middle of the entrance and almost fell. thank God, i was holding onto the door with my left hand and turning on the lights with my right hand, else i'd have fallen and my head would most likely land in the holy bowl :)

exams are ending really really soon. i cant wait for all these to end so that the guilt will not continue to build up. but this would also mean i have more serious issues to deal with.. truth to be told, i've been enjoying my past 2 weeks. i've also been constantly looking back, at the past 3 years, trying to find that missing spark again. only to realise that it's no longer the same spark that i need.

now, all that i really really really need is to find that diligence in me. find that self discipline in me. i just need to press on for the next 5 days and i'll be free. and then in another 5 days, i'll take off from here. i need to find the strength again. 5 days. 5 days of hard work in exchange for 4 weeks of freedom. sounds like an awesome deal. i know it is *two thumbs up* i've been able to stay away from the tv for the whole of ytd. ive been able to stay away from my mac for the whole of today. my last two distractions : my ipod and my phone. i'm looking into locking them up somewhere i dont know nor do i have access to. anyone who's willing to help me out? your effort is much appreciated :D yes, that's how desperate i am.

well, church tmr, study session after that, followed by a jog. may these not exhaust me but allow me to find strength. if gravity is pulling me down, not allowing me to succeed, i really want to defy gravity. and the only way to do so is to trust in Him wholeheartedly. in times like this, i find it most difficult to surrender everything into His hands. in times like this, i find myself at my weakest. in times like this, i am reminded of the past and His grace. let's face it. i'm weak.

okay, back to studying. this is too long an entry :S God bless all and i'll see you when i see you :D :D :D

[cass doesnt want to hurt anyone. is it too much to ask for?]

spent my day glee-ing. i was supposed to be studying for my next paper. but when you have awesome shows like this, it's hard to fight the temptation? i was trying to push watching the show till after exams. but i really couldnt take it today. especially when i cant seem to erase the sneaks i watched 2 weeks back. the title really fits the show. i was literally filled with glee while watching. it was awesome possum. the singing, the dancing, the bitchy and scandalous plot. it's just like those days back in pj. just that we didnt have the singing and dancing part. LOL. so my glee marathon stopped at episode 6. i really want some more. but the parents are at home and i'm supposed to be studying :( plus, i laugh super duper loudly and all. rar! plus plus plus, they make you wanna sing along! hahaha! it's such an awesome show! singapore shld put more money into such productions. i'll support local productions like that.

oh well. you wouldnt know how awesome the show is until you watch it. and these actors sing on their own. there's no dubbing and all. it's their real voice. that's a plus plus plus to make you want to watch this show! we shld have such clubs in school. just sing and dance. it's like a choir, but a cool-er one at that. *two thumbs up* and and and, the guy above, he's called Finn and he's like the best guy that can ever exist (in the show luh). captain of the football club, a lead singer in the glee club, and has a scholarship. hot body. so tall. kinda good looking too. gosh. can someone like this exist in real life? hahaha!

watch these! they're amazing. WATCH!




in the show, the guys and girls were having a competition and they had to do a mash-up, which is to put 2 songs tgt. the arrangement is awesome, right? RIGHT! *two thumbs up*

okay, shall stop glee-ing. today, i felt so christmas-y.. maybe cos christmas is coming, and i'm getting uber excited. i've even stocked up on christmas songs! woo! maybe that's why i felt so christmas-y the whole time. i love love love christmas! all the presents and food and drinks. and all the gatherings.. but i guess this year would just be with the families...... no more gatherings with friends this year. all those overeating and drinking is not good. and expensive too!!!

shaker fries is toxic. it re-sparked my sore throat today. pfft! i shldnt have finished that whole packet ytd. rar! made me waste so much time, making so many trips to the loo the whole day. i bet i can finish glee-ing till episode 7 if not for that frequent toilet trips.

now i'm suffering from glee-withdrawal symptoms. gosh. it's only been an hour since i stopped watching. i'm so dead.

and my mum received a coach wallet from my aunt today. and she was busy flaunting it to me. excuse me. how irritating can mums get? for my mum, 9 out of 10 on the irritation scale!

there's a rvco percussion gathering on the 26th dec. to go or not to go. that's the question.

okays, i'm going for a ride. my parents are feeling happy, they want to bring us out for shopping now. HAHAHAHAHA!

God bless all :D

[cass wants to know why this is happening.]
