A hot chocolate or nice English breakfast, and a good book.
Dim warm lighting.
Nice blue couch.
Gold 90.5.

It was almost the same sometime last year.

But it was coffee instead.
And a good book there wasn't. A stack of Bio notes rather. (or was it Chem notes I can't really rem)
Nice blue couch remains.
The pitter patter of the rain and the chingaling of the wind chime made good music.
It was windy, serene, and all nice, nonetheless.

I made a poem on that, lost somewhere out there in the archives. Somehow, that scene, remains in my mind.

A nice lavender oil would be perfect. And if only we could just live our lives like that everyday (the former of course. I would rather a good book).



Unappreciative thoughts that clouded your mind,
If it even struck you, Your Highness,
That you weren't the one who cleared the dirt and grime.
Why, a Highness you are not,
Maybe just a brat of the lot.
The few yrs, just let them fall.
But that probably would spell the end of it all.

I've been chip-ping alot. Tapioca chips, Belinjo chips, the old-fashioned-ah-soh fish crackers, potato chips, and oh, tonnes of cashew nuts as well.
Went to sch today in an attempt to look at the laptops but alas I wasn't allowed entry cos my matriculation is only tomorrow. Was hoping I could look at them, and then if I decide they dun suit me, I'd buy from SimLim, like tonight or sth. Oh wells. Tmr then. Ragged abit, before meeting my Mum and sis at Suntec. Wanted Soup Restaurant for dinner but we had no patience to wait for them to open for dinner so settled for Kenny Rogers instead. Oh and I bumped into Ally at the taxi stand of all places. And its like, she was on the phone with me just 2 hrs or so before. I'm just easily thrilled I guess.

I like Class 95 and Gold 90.5 so much. I think I'm old. Okay, I feel old.

Oh, I changed my layout. In case u dun already know.
Someone pls buy up my Rapture ticket!

Attended the Dean's Welcome Tea with Ally and Aishah yesterday and it actually proved to be quite useful. =) Glad I went for it.

I'm so glad I've met up with my bestest bestest friend today after oh-so-long. She's sucha darling she helped me so much in my search for a laptop. Hmm, she knows so much abt all these IT stuff which I can nv understand. I'm just not tech-savvy I guess. Heh. So anw we went to Funan and we walked around looking at laptops and such, and more or less I've decided on what to get. But I'll still go look at those offered during matric fair first. And needless to say, its sth similar to what she has. HAHA! She was sucha great help I just can't thank her enough. But well, thats what friends are for eh? heh!

Anw during lunch before that she talked to me abt some stuff and it really made me feel like I'm not brave enough. Not brave enough to step out of my comfort zone to try new things. Sigh. I just hope all goes right, and I'll get to do what I like ultimately. Sth she said made me realise how great a friend she is, and has been, to me. She was like "Joyce, I dun want you to come to me four years later, and tell me that u've wasted your four years". At that instant I almost teared, cos I've all along been very bothered abt my course of study, and my career path. I'll make the best out of what I've already decided and chosen, and hopefully, everything will just fall in nicely. I wanna plan well for my future, my everything, just like she has. I'm so thankful for the friend I have in her. 6 yrs and counting. :)

So after that we headed to Raffles City to look at wallets, but no nice ones so we went to town instead, where I got this wallet which I really liked. And she agreed with me!. Happy and satisfied, we then went to Arab/Bussorah St where she wanted to show me this shop that sells really cheap ribbons and stuff like that, but it was closed! Ahhh so we just walked along the shophouses there and hey it was pretty crowded! The place reminds me of Malacca! But still I didnt manage to find those pretty cafes and vintage shops oh sigh =(. I'll explore the place again next time, hopefully, cos we were in rushing to go to Sim Lim to look at more stuff.

Oh and I walked all the way to Little India train station from Sim Lim laa it was so tiring esp when we've walked for like almost the entire afternoon, and from Arab street to Sim Lim okayyy maybe its cos I'm just lazy, but hey, whats new? heh.

I'm so in love with the Blackraisins Hawaiian earrings I saw at Wisma they're so pretty and sweet I really wanna get them but its stupid to pay $32.90 for a pair of earrings ahhhhh! But they're just so beautiful! I nearly bought their rubberband and it costs $17.90! shit. I didnt buy in the end cos $17.90 for a rubberband is just crazyyy laaa. But Blackraisins Hawaiian just have the prettiest and nicest earringsss and rubberbands and hairpins oh mannn shit but they're so ex. I'll just dream of them tonight la!

And I've ordered my Madrid online already like finally, I hope I dun get the size wrong this time, and come soon pls!

And so the winner of Miss Reef is quite hot actually. Nice bod, nice face, she certainly reminds me of Barbie ball. Oh and something worth mentioning is that I saw Shan Wee at Red Dot Traffic (or issit Red Dot Musuem? ah whatever.) yesterday at the Miss Reef Bikini contest. Not that I find him cute or what, just that er, cos he's a celebrity, haha I'm sucha typical Singaporean aye!!??. Actually, I dun really like him.

Oh and the hunks from the National Water Polo Team who did the fashion show were hot hot hot. A pity I didn't manage to snap a few pictures of them. Haha maybe we girls were TOO engrossed by their hot bods and good looks la. Shit, they are so damn hot. And cute.

Wisma Flash and Splash Surfergirl Crew



Flash and Splash Wisma



Me and Xueyi



Babes

I totally can't stand pple who think that they're damn good, and well above others. No one is good enough for them, or so they think. Seriously puts me off.

Ah, the superficiality of it all. Makes me wonder if anyone is ever true.

Anyway, I'm sorry Julian Hee. I'm now a 'Hey-Alvin-Ng-is-totally-cute' person.
Ha, bye Julian. U're still cute, but Alvin Ng is cuter.

I'm actually looking forward to the 9 O clock show every day. Teeheehee.

Oh and ya, SOW clashes with Rapture. And the bad thing is I've already bought my Rapture ticket. Anyone wants to buy please buy from me cos I dun wanna waste my money la. wah shit shit shit.

Miss Reef Bikini party tomorrow night, I'm hoping its gonna be fun with lotsa hot babes and hunks from the national water polo team maybe. haha!

Ciaos. There's tuition later on.

Shopping with Mummy and sis today was really nice. It was a satisfying one. =). I love my new wedges and that pretty orangy red top. yay.
Dinner was good. Oh and I think my cousin has grown better-looking. heh.

Stayover that day was ok. Ragged till quite late like 3am, but at 2am we were so hungry the few of us walked over to NUH to eat fishball noodles but it was so guilty eating such food at 2am.

Just got back from church, and its shopping later with my sis yay I really really crave for some shopping and then tonight its Grandma's birthday dinner at our all-time favourite restaurant haha ahhh the tomyum soup.

I love weekends. I dun have to give tuition during my weekends and I'm dreading this week, esp Wed. Yes this Wed is gonna suck. Well, kinda. I'm so not looking forward. shit.

Yes, SHIT.

NUS medical check-up tmr morning, and rag after that. At least ragging adds some colours to my otherwise boring tutor's life. Ok correction, my life is not boring, just that giving tuition is. And so that makes it boring. Anyhows, probably will be staying over tmr with the rest. So maybe, YAY. heh.


And yeah one more thing bad about giving tuition is the commitment. I feel so tied down by it, its making me depressed and upset. I can't wait for them to finish off with their final yr exams, and maybe it'll be some time before I take up some more students. I need time for myself to settle down to sch life.
It doesn't help that my students dun seem to be paying attention to me half the time, and more often than not, I'm just solving the sums for them la. When asked if they understand, they nod their heads, but sometimes I'm really doubtful. Sigh. Double Sigh. The agony of a tutor.

Its bad. And disappointing. But I have alot to say. To defend and speak up for myself. I just felt it was quite unfair.
Ok enough of that. Life goes on. Going on and on abt it just makes me wanna cry.

Finally got 3 books from the libraryto while my time away.
Oh and I've received my matric package already. There're so many documents, its like almost confusing. I still can't decide between FST and Life Sciences, but we'll just see how things go. I think the results of the FST selection will be out on 23rd July. If I get selected I'll think abt it again. If not, then I'll just do Life Sciences.

There's SOW coming up, and sigh, I gotta rearrange my tuition lessons. I just hope the parents won't be too pissed with me.

Alvin Ng makes my eyes wanna pop out.

Tanning session at Sentosa this afternoon. Lovely afternoon with good sun. Cycled a fair bit too.
Ah, sand sea sun. Niceeeeee.

OCC-ed yest with the raggers and flaggers. It was pretty much fun, though it was very very exhausting as well. We were like dirty, sweaty, and maybe smelly and germy after the collection. I mean, we all know how dirty old newspapers, old clothes, old electrical appliances and stuff like that are. The 67 of us covered abt 60 blocks which I felt was pretty impressive. heh. The best part of yest though, was the *ahem* 'sharing' and 'bonding' session during dinner time over soba and donburi. It was helluva interesting one.

I've half a mind to head to the library to get some books cos I really really need some books to keep me occupied and entertained.

Tuition again today. And my student keeps changing the timing. SIGH. Anyway, photos are up under '080706'.

Sick. Fever and sore throat. Tuition at Rebecca's today wasn't exactly very nice. She wanted me to teach her a new Science topic, which meant that I had to talk alot. The pain was so bad. And she almost finished my freshmint chewing gums. Haha.

Ok. Off to sleep soon.

Decided not to stayover in sch today. Haha. There's the 9 pm show on Ch 8. So what if I watch that. I'm a "ok la-Alvin Ng-is-not-bad-but-Julian Hee-is-cuter" person. Heh.

My sore throat is back. Sigh. Thinking if I should go for rag tmr. But I've got tuition at Farrer Road in the evening, its near Serene Centre, and I seriously have no idea how to get there from sch. I can only get there from my home. See how la. Heh.


Ok, off to oogle at Julian Hee now. =))

Had my second driving revision lesson this morning. It scares me to think that my test is just next week. Its so stressful!
Anyway rushed to sch after that for rag. I thought I'd be late, but it last (no surprises), the rest were even later. Haha.

Its so annoying that the parents of my tuition kids dun reply me sometimes when I ask them when they want their lessons. Like HELLO, I need to plan my schedule also la. It sickens me. Totally.

Sch tmr for rag, and sigh sigh sigh, TUITION after that.

Back. From the stayover at Vic's house.
The uniform party at DXO was good, good drinks, great music, nice company.=)
It was a pity, though, that we didn't stay till closing. Oh, many ex-Saints too. Will load pics when I'm not so lazy. haha.

Uncle's house later. oh sigh. There's Shandy the BIG DOG there. I'm so terrified of her I'm not looking forward to going there later.

Anyway, here's one. For now.

Back from Bangkok. I have so much to say. Everything from the scorching hot weather, to the very very cheap food, to the terrible traffic, and also the poor living conditions of most locals. But lazy to blog. Haha. So ask me abt it when u see me.
Thai ladies are very good-looking. haha.

Anyway, I didn't get alot of stuff from Bangkok la. Not as much as Vic when she went. That girl bought like so much stuff they had to buy a few of those striped canvas garang guni bags to store their stuff. Well, for me, I could stuff all into just one big tote bag. Haha. The things there are cheap, esp when u can bargain, but they aren't really my kind. Not the kind of clothes I'd wear anyway. So no point buying alot even if they are cheap. Use the money and shop here in Singapore. Haha.

Oh, the pple there are very poor. So pitiful. Apparently a uni grad there earns only abt 7000 Baht a mth, which is ard S$300. Thats very little! I think some of us here have more for allowance. Most of the houses along the streets of Bangkok look pretty run-down. Thatched zinc roofs that look like they could collapse anytime.

The weather there is also very very hot. I could feel the heat penetrating my skin.
The traffic there is terrible, the roads are like jammed most of the time.
The food there is very very cheap. Go there must eat alot. Haha.

SO sian, gotta give tuition tmr. Oh sigh.

The steamboat dinner was terrible. One of the worst steamboat that I've ever had. We should have eaten somewhere nicer. The place was so cramped up, and it was stuffy like anything else. I felt sticky and so uncomfortable, even frustrated. I've nv felt to pek cek eating steamboat before la. Haha. And because the whole place was so cramped up, I had to keep shifting my chair to let others pass. And hey, the place wasn't exactly very hygenic either. As a result of the uncomfort, I was eating vegetables and mushrooms the whole time. All sorts of mushrooms. And corn. And meatballs. Thats abt it. I couldn't wait for everyone to finish so we could get out of the place asap.

Anyway, I ate so little I was so hungy at night. So I had a slice of organic rice cracker. Yeah, just minutes before I blogged. Thats at like 12.40 am. Unhealthy. SHIT.
I can't get to sleep. Cos I've been sleeping the whole time. I slept for a few hrs this afternoon. See, I do nth but sleep. haha. I'm sucha bum. Like seriously. Now I can't get to sleep.
Bangkok tmr! Yay! Its gonna be shopping shopping shopping and food food food. =))

I've been rotting at home. I wanted to give tuition since I've got time today but the parents of two of my two students hardly reply me. And even if they do, its like after a few freaking hours. This happens half the time anyway. Sigh. I won't treat my child's tutor this way in future. I think. haha.

Anyway bumming ard at home is getting quite boring, but when I go out, I end up spending. Next week is gonna be quite good though, cos I'd be in Bangkok for some shopping and food. Yay. I'm leaving on the 3rd and will only be back on the 6th.
After returning, its gonna be back to giving tuition (SIGH).

Today's sucha boring day. Lunched out with my Mum and I had half a mind to borrow some books from the library cos I finished the other one already, but I was too lazy. So here I am at home blogging but I think I'm gonna sleep soon. Napping kills time. Thats what I always do anyway.
