Back from camp. And I've been doing nth but sleep. Thats what EVERYONE does when they come back from camp anyway.
Camp was ok. First day was pretty boring, but I must admit that things got better as the days passed. Haha I actually enjoyed the amazing race part. Cruise dining was one whole new experince altogether. My secret pal was not too bad, though there were awkward moments when we didn't have anything to say to each other. But hey, there was food, so food saved the day. I'm quite thankful my sp wasn't some wierd person, which Pet and I had feared so much initially. The whole thing went quite ok I guess!
The bash at momo that followed the dinner was pretty much fun. After the first part of the programme, that is. But the depressing shit is the calorie intake. Damn one tequilla shot has like dunno 125 or 250 calories. Sinful shit.
NUS food is damn cheap! I'll look forward to eating in sch. haha. I aspire to try the food from every faculty maybe. HEH!
The soon kueh is so nice it rocks my socks. :))

Family lunch today at Jacks Place, erm ,with Donald as well. Haha. So it was a fine lunch with Dad, Mum, The Sis and Her Boyfriend. Heh.
After lunch Dad went off to work well the rest of us walked around town for a while.
Saw Vivien working at some cafe at Paragon, and she flaunted ner new tattoo which she just had it done yest. It looks pretty good I must say. Her voice still as high-pitched as ever. haha!
Anyway I've half a mind to put my brand new birks up for sale on ebay. Amanda ordered it for me last week, and it arrived like 3 days ago, which is really fast. A pity it didn't fit me THAT well. so I would rather sell it off than wear an ill-fitting footwear. AHAH.
Does anyone want to buy, to save me the trouble of putting it up on ebay!? Its BRAND NEW!
Birkenstock Madrid, in Size 38, Regular. Its the golden bronze one. Easy to match! And it saves u the trouble of buying online and the agony to found a big group to waive the shipping fees. I'm only selling it for S$56! and Its BRAND NEW!
I'm like packing for my camp halfway, there're tons to things to bring, believe me. SHIT.
OK, off to continue packing. Ciaos!

Lunch yesterday was at the Korean Restaurant at Hereen instead of Marche cos Marches is closed for renovation. I enjoyed the lunch nonetheless, it was good ;).
The party at night was er, pretty pathetic and jinxed at first. I walked so much I developed blisters. Since my sis drove us there, we parked our car at the Liang Court car park before heading to wards MOS to get out chop first. After which, during queueing, Anne and Michelle realised they left their IDs in the car, and this meant that we walked all the way back to the car park to get their stuff. After all was well, we got our MOS chops, we then walked again to Gotham Penthouse to take advantage of their free flow for ladies. We were still thinking we could get free drinks there and head back to MOS to party. But alas, it so happened that there were some live performances at Gotham last night, which meant no free entry plus no free flow for the ladies. Our last resort was then obar/dbl O cos over there there's free flow for ladies sure. So we walked from Clarke Quay all the way to Mhd Sultan where dbl O was. It was like far. Ok, maybe not that far, but still blister-inducing. Only to realise that they've changed their regulation and age limit to 20. So that meant I couldn't get in. YES. Jinxed Night, wasn't it? I insisted that I've been in a before, the most recent being last mth, but they just refused to let me pass through. Since we had already wasted so much time of the night, my sis convinced the rest to go in and drink all they wanted, while she kept me company outside. So the two of us were just waiting outside, and watching maybe abit of live soccer from the bar next door. I was upset cos I had no free drinks. haha.
After they've had they fill, we walked all the way back to MOS. And that was when the night got better. Too bad I had to spend on my drinks there. I was still hoping that I wouldn't need to spend a single cent since it was ladies night at most clubs. The rnb at Smoove was pretty good, and we had much fun. Still, half the night was wasted walking here and there. heh.
Slept at ard 4.45 last night, and I'm already up. heh. I dun actually sleep for very long, but I take afternoon naps.
But too bad there's tuition later. AIYERRRRRR. Ciaos!

Its so pathetic I still haven't gotten down to tanning, and furthermore its been raining these few mornings. Oh wells, rain rain go away come again and another day.
I crave Korean dramas suddenly. I quite desperately want to watch that new drama of Rain, but I gotta wait till my uncle comes over to pass me the vcd which is I dunno when. ARGH. And since sch hasn't started yet I thought I might as well immerse myself in the Korean drama frenzy. yet again. Miss those times when I just did nth at home except watch Full House, as well as that ever-hilarious My Name Is Kim Ssm Soon. Hey, Korean dramas, here I come.
Oh but I would gladly appreciate anyone who has some good Japanese dramas to lend me too. Japanese or Korean, anything, just not those cutsey Taiwanese idol-dramas. I can't ever appreciate them. Oh well, maybe I used to, haha, rem the Meteor Garden craze? First and last I hope. heh.
Ok, I'm gonna read now. Gotta bring my Grandma to town later and we'll meet up with my sis and aunt and 2 lil cute twin cousins for Marche later. YAY. Think: bacon and cheese crepes.
After lunch is tuition. AH, SAD. And at night it'll be off to Gotham Penthouse with the sister and her friends. =) Hope it'd be a fun night though.

The UnderNoRoof-cum-Famine Camp yesterday was quite fun. It wasn't as dull as the dry run the week before.
I recently suddenly started to brood over my A Level results. I had wanted more than an ABB, and I definitely felt that I deserved better grades, esp Bio, which I studied really hard for. I had A for Bio prelims and I remember clearly Mrs Ang telling the class that those who got an A for prelims would surely secure and A for A Levels. Not true at all. But I really did study very hard for Bio. It had been my best subject all along (I think). Some pple might think that I should be thankful, and even feel lucky to have gotten such grades. But hey, I certainly feel that I deserve more. If only they even knew how hard I studied right from the start of Year 2, and esp towards the A Levels. And u noe what, I totally hate it when pple think that Science is a dumping ground, and for medicine rejects, just cos their intake is big. Just a few days ago when I told my friend that I'm gg to NUS Science, he was like " huh, why? u got in by random or what? ". I was totally pissed.
Well, I didn't get in by random. I chose it. It was my first choice for NUS. I didn't study like mad for my A Levels only to get into a dumping ground u know? Definitely, its not as prestigious as Medicine or Law, but still, its not some lousy course. And I'm very sure about that. I'm feeling ok about going into Science, though Mass Com is interesting too. Okay, dun make me go on abt my dilemma over NTU Mass Com and NUS Science. haha. We've had enough of that.
Yeah, Science is not a dumping ground. Its just popular, maybe? haha.

I'm so so so upset. I suspect I might have gotten the size of my birks wrong. and Amanda has already ordered! shit. I'm so depressed. and disillusioned. I really really hope it fits alright when it arrives. I can't waste my money! SHIT.
Watched the Oprah Winfrey Show this morning and the topic was on weight loss. haha. I'm feeling ABIT motivated now. To drink lots and lotsa water and to not eat after 7.30. Then again, I dun think I'm disciplined enough. At least not as disciplined as MY FRIEND. (think: yogurt for breakfast, 2 small pieces of organic rice cakes with ham and greens for lunch, and a granola bar and a salad for the rest of the day).
Her diet is so healthy, but I think I'll die if I follow her. I mean, I'll be hungry ALL THE TIME surviving on so little. Hmm. But I'm already trying to cut down on carbo (note: TRYING). haha. Its partly cos going easy on carbo is better for the body, its not so much to lose weight. okay, maybe its also cos I wanna go back to being 45kg la.
But dun worry, I wont become aneroxic or bullimic. I love food too much. At the most I'll just feel damn guilty and keep complaining after eating something sinful thats all. I wont purge.heh.
I ate alot today anyway. SIGH. If only I could be half as disciplined as MY FRIEND.
I had all these today:
1. a BIG bowl of oats with cereal. really BIG bowl (breakfast cum lunch)
2. a glass of yogurt juice
3. an orange
4. 3 sushis (tea-time)
5. rice (dinner)
6. an apple
Anyway while out with The Friend today, I got swayed by her, and bought a packet of organic brown rice crackers. Hey, its only 8 calories per piece. haha. I'm sure I would feel happy eating it. teeheehee.
Oh yeah, I watched Howl's Moving Castle this morning! like finally. haha. Much nicer than Ice Age 2, which I'm so ashamed to say that I actually feel asleep halfway through the show. haha. Its high time I returned Karmeng his Ice Age 2. Been hogging it for wayyyyyy to longgggggggggg.
Pics are up by the way. Long over due pics. haha. '17.05.06'.

I keep eating and eating and eating. and after that I keep complaining and complaining and complaining. and feel super guilty abt eating like a cow. SUPER GUILTY. yet I still eat. the mental torment sucks. big time.
SHIT LAH.
The afternoon was spent in the library digging out good books (I hope) to pass my time. I'm so bored at home I'm gg nuts. Yeah I'm giving tuition now, but I dun really enjoy it. Its the location I guess. haha. I so dread gg for tuition lessons. But, I need to earn at least abit, cos I've been spending way too much.
Anw after lib, I met up with Pet and we shopped abit. Lunched at the Crystal Jade XiaoLongBao at Taka after that. We each bought this same top that was on sale from Koi Noburi cos if we buy two its cheaper. haha. We're like so ah soh-ish, but who cares. Pple behave like that during sales.
It was originally priced at 42.90, but gg for only $18 now. And if we buy 2, its $30. so that means we each paid $15 for the top. heh, a pretty good deal. They didnt allow trying, but I smuggled it into the fitting room anyway.
Anw, dun ask me out on shopping trips anymore. We can go tanning, eat (yeah EAT. see what I mean.), chill, or meet up for drinks. whatever. just no more shopping. at least not for now. cos I'm saving up to shop in Bangkok. so no more shopping.
I'm so depressed. tuition tmr. SIGH. I actually secretly hope the mother of the P4 boy sacks me. cos if I'm the one to drop him, I must pay the stupid agency 50% of the first mth's fee. Then again, I'll be left with only 2 students then, and thats so little money. I'm money faced la. shucks.
I dun really enjoy teaching Pri sch Science though, its too generalised, like what Pet said. Maths is fine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
me: okay ,so plants need carbon dioxide, water, and light to carry out photosynthesis. The leaves make food.
P4 boy: huh, so can it eat? If I give the leaf food.
me: er, no. It can't. It makes its own food.
P4 boy : but if I give the leaf rice to eat?
me: cant. er, it cant eat. (in desperation) cos it has no mouth!
P4 boy: (he proceeds to vandalise his Science textbook by drawing eyes and a mouth on THE LEAF) see got mouth. if I put a grain of rice there, the leaf will eat the rice.
See, I cant explain Science to him. HOW?!
Anyway back to Science, I'm actually quite worried. Cos last week when I was reading through the P4 Science textbook to prepare for the lesson, I suddenly forgot simple stuff like whats needed for photosynthesis. THIS IS SO WORRYING. And yeah, I'm gg do do Science in NUS la. I'm so scared and worried now. I'm like rusty. Is it just me or does everyone else feel the same?

Met up with Yitshan to catch She's The Man today. Its helluva hilarious moive, sweet and touching too. HA. I'm a sucker for love comedies. Channing Tatum is my new obsession. okay , maybe not, but he currently tops my list of the hottest guys.
Go catch that show now. Its really good.
Anyway we basically walked around and talked abt people and stuff. haha. right. gossip maybe. well, whatever. It was nice catching up with her. Visited Sharon at Venezia and I bought the green tea ice-cream, which Sharon was very generous with. My cup was like overflowing. heh.
SIGH tuition tomorrow, and I'm feeling so lazy.ARGH.

But thats not to say I dun miss the people there. I do, and I did feel a tinge of sadness when Seri hugged me that day and reminded me to visit when she goes over to FlashnSplash Novena once it opens in ard Oct. I do miss the people there, they're a pretty nice and funny bunch and I would def return to visit!
Right now, I just enjoy lazing abt. and catching up with my friends. teeheehee.
Had the UNRcumFamine leadership training camp at SA yest, which was well, a total bore. Hopefully the actual camp next week would be more entertaining.
Headed with Vic to Marina thereafter to window shop, after which I met my family for a nice yummy dinner.
Prob meeting Yitshan for a movie tomorrow. YAY again.
SHIT I EAT TOO MUCH. SHIT SHIT SHIT. OKAY BYE.

Its always so annoying that Topshop keeps having new arrivals, and they ALWAYS display the new stuffs RIGHT IN FRONT of Surfergirl. haha. It just tempts me so much! Makes me spend spend spend. oh wells. I cant spend so much already. cos I'm gonna stop working soon. haha. Tutoring 2 Primary sch kids doesnt earn me alot, though I would say the hourly rate is much better la.
Anyway met Amanda at Potong Pasir today to collect our A Level certs from school. We arranged to meet earlier so that we could have lunch there. I miss the Malay stall so much!
I only realised (to my horror) this morning, that its the sch hols now and the canteen wouldn't be opened! Well, only the drink stall. And the funnyman uncle actually recognised us! It just felt good, I mean, at least u dun feel forgotten.
So we had our lunch at the Potong Pasir neighbourhood, which has many snack stalls and coffeeshops. We went to this particular coffeeshop cos we saw SA pple there, thus concluded the food there must be not bad. Furthermore, the ban mian there costs just $2.50!
Thats VERY attractive if u've been eating at Wisma's Food Republic for like 3 mths plus, where almost nothing costs less than $3.80!
But the ban mian at that particular Potong Pasir coffeeshop turned out to be the worst ban mian I've ever eaten!
But still, Potong Pasir shall be my new hangout cos of all the snack stalls and coffeeshops there. Food is so attainable there! Unlike my area, where there are pathetically few places to eat. Not even a single, decent coffeeshop. Anyway, Potong Pasir is so near where I live, so YAY! My new makan hangout once I stop work. Oh yeah, can go back to SA for food also! ha!

Today marks my very last off day, since next week, being my last week of work, I won't be entitled to any off day.
Oh, anyway today I had my first tuition lesson with this Sec 1 China girl in the morning. English and Science. haha. and I dropped her after her first lesson, cos I wasn't very confident of improving her standard of English, given that she started learning English only in Pri 4 when she came to Singapore. I mean, given that she's been exposed to the language for only 3 yrs plus, her standard's already not too bad, but not good enough for a Sec 1 girl. And I'd feel really bad if I can't help her improve. Furthermore, I am not really comfortable with Sec 1 Science cos of the Physics component. Physics-the very bane of my existence. haha. I still remember liking Physics alot in Sec 3 cos I scored A1 all the way (well, almost.HAHA.) But suddenly in Sec 4, for-who-knows-what-reasons, I started getting Cs and the occasional Fs for this subject. I then begun disliking it so much. okay anyway, I shant digress.
Yeah, so when I reached home after that, after much thought, I decided to call her mum, this really nice China lady, and told her that I wont be able to continue tutoring her daughter. I told her that I won't charge her for this lesson, but she insisted that she pay me. So I walked over to her place again in the afternoon (yeah, she lives within walking distance from me) to collect the fee for today's lesson. I FELT SO BAD!.
Dun ask me how much I got, the tuition agency is so ngiao, they still want a 50% cut of the first lesson. WTH LAH.
Anyway, I still feel so bad. shit shit shit.
Oh yeah, then as I was walking home after that, this sicko teeko uncle cycled past me and said to me 'wah, hen mei hen piao liang'. BLOODY HELL. shit him man. Such perverts should be banished and obliterated from this universe. I wish I could gauge out his eye balls and stew them and feed them to the dogs.
Jessica came to visit me at work that day and commented that I look tired and exhausted. haha. yeah maybe. I feel so shagged. But hey, next Friday is coming soon!yay-ness.
Just in time for World Cup. Not that I'm a soccer fanatic anyway, haha I just wanna oogle at my cute Japanese soccer players. Think: Hidetoshi Nakata. I'm as shallow as that, hows that? heh.
And I'm not too sure if I wanna take up tuiotion assignments so soon. I mean, I wanna slack for a while first after quitting. Reading, eating, sleeping, shopping, chilling out and taitai-ing with my friends. HA! I'm sucha bum. I wanna catch up with so many people!
Plus there are all the camps. This guy from Sheares Hall just called to ask me to go for the Sheares Hall camp. The way he said it, it seems like Hall life is gonna be so exciting, and when I told him that although I so wanna live in the halls but am too lazy to pack/unpack/settle my own neccesities (my supply of cereals, oats, and fruits so wonderfully available at home sweet home)/share common toilet/blah blah blah, he siad that there really isn't much to bring over. (but then again, how much stuff does a guy have/needs?!) He said its gonna be damn fun living in the halls. I'll ask Petrina abt it when she comes back from Shanghai. I certainly won't go for the camp ALONE!
I think I might do what the guy told me, which is to apply for the halls first, then decide later. YAY. Remind me pls. the deadline is 11th June!
OKAY, I'm gonna watch SI2 which my sis taped down for me! BYE! and go to sleep if u can, the weather's good!=))
Oh, anyway today I had my first tuition lesson with this Sec 1 China girl in the morning. English and Science. haha. and I dropped her after her first lesson, cos I wasn't very confident of improving her standard of English, given that she started learning English only in Pri 4 when she came to Singapore. I mean, given that she's been exposed to the language for only 3 yrs plus, her standard's already not too bad, but not good enough for a Sec 1 girl. And I'd feel really bad if I can't help her improve. Furthermore, I am not really comfortable with Sec 1 Science cos of the Physics component. Physics-the very bane of my existence. haha. I still remember liking Physics alot in Sec 3 cos I scored A1 all the way (well, almost.HAHA.) But suddenly in Sec 4, for-who-knows-what-reasons, I started getting Cs and the occasional Fs for this subject. I then begun disliking it so much. okay anyway, I shant digress.
Yeah, so when I reached home after that, after much thought, I decided to call her mum, this really nice China lady, and told her that I wont be able to continue tutoring her daughter. I told her that I won't charge her for this lesson, but she insisted that she pay me. So I walked over to her place again in the afternoon (yeah, she lives within walking distance from me) to collect the fee for today's lesson. I FELT SO BAD!.
