Yes,it's the time of the year again to welcome a new year. Countdown,self-reflections and making new resolutions.
The recent 2 days 1 night OGL camp (27 dec & 28 Dec) was not bad but i felt that it could be better. I made new friends whom i have seen in college as well as those that were non-existent to me!
Seriously, i was quite reserved to myself and only moved around with pals. But later in the evening, all of us open up to one another...sincere introduction.
Cheers,songs and dance were the highlights which bonded us -- everyone of us! I enjoyed myself there but F5 is still quite quiet because we were stucked with cheers and the understanding! Hey, that's not gonna spoil the whole spirit!
We came back on thursday to do some dry-run. However, it was saddening in the morning. We kena scolding from mr leow and the councilors were punished. I felt so rotten inside. Felt so useless at that time..haiz.
Today,it was the last time for everyone to get together and get our stuff right before the big day on Monday!
Jia YOu.
The death toll to date for the Asia's tsunamis is 125 000. Once again,i felt vulnerable and pathetic for those affected in Indonesia, Thailand, India and Sri Lanka. They were many poor civilians who do not have proper housing and worse still their only possesion were destroyed. To make life seemed even unfair and cruel, their family members were either missing or dead. The aftermath is the next big problem - poor hygiene and the possibleoutbreak of chlorea which means more death.Why does the world has to come to such state?
Not only that, we have to bear in mind of the outbreak of SARS and Avian Flu in recent years! The Earth is dying. She is feeling terribly sick and tired of the ongoing works created by mankind!
Well, count your blessings and treasure your loved ones. Live life to the fullest and hold back all fears which may prevent you from achieving your goals and decisions.
Happy New Year, 2005!!!
Hi all! This week seem to be fruitful too!
16 Dec 1942,my mum was borned. We just celebrated her 42th birthday with some simple fare without our dad. My sister brought her clique to our house to celebrate my mum's birthday! Haha...weird, isn't it?
I thought the fun just stop on 16 Dec.The next day,i have a video editing course which ended around 4+. I enjoyed the course thoroughly as i marvelled at how the pre and post production worked in a drama. Continuity is very important which require everyone to work closely if not they will have to pay thousands to reshoot that particular scene only!
Rain,splash,thud....haiz...just before we were about to leave, the rain came. I hate it! So Xi Hui, Mei Zhu,Jee Da and me sat down and did econ hwk due on mon. But i'm not in the mood!We 'gossiped' a little while trying to concentrate,of course Jee da isn't that nosey, he continued to do his wk.
'Ring...ring'.....i called my mum.Well,i have a reunion dinner with a distant relative yesterday evening. My mum's younger cousin who married a Hong Konger and has migrated to Australia. She has 2 sons who i was trying to figure how they looked like! Naturally,i tried to dress up a little. But i think i was too fickle-minded as i changed my bottom almost 4 times. Skirt or jeans? haha, inthe end, i wore a slim fit top and jeans. When we reached Jumbo Seafood Restaurant near Jurong Bird Park,the restaurant seemed to stop functioning. SO we decided to go to the nearest restaurant - Boon Lay Raja Restaurant. Actually, when i saw all my young cousins who dressed casually, i was shocked. i thinked i over-dressed! ok...who cares...the thing is to meet 'biao yi ma' and 'biao ge'. It was at the carpark that i got a close up of the 2 cousins. They seemed old to me and the younger one looked like he's 17. i thought they looked like some taiwanese boyband but with some feel of Eurasian look. You know, that close-up isn't exactly good, i don't even know how to describe them propeerly.
We were split into 2 tables. The children took 1 table and the adults, another. Of course i took the children's table and the 2 cousins sat with their mom. Got to know that they speak only english and Cantonese. Obviously, they felt damn bored as they have each other for company when all the elders chattered away.
Then the children ahve finished their meal and gathered around the elders. They were talking some ghost stories. My mum was the story teller. They were in Perth. One night, in the hotel room, my mum and her sis were fast asleep. For some reason, my mum woked up and saw someone sitting by the edge of my aunt's bed,stroking my aunt. She woke my aunt and told her. Imagine the shock! For the rest of the story, i did not bother to hear as i was fascinated with my cousin's (another one who's 27 yrs old) Nokia 7610! Suddenly,i heard a loud thud! My uncle hit the table when apparently my mum was at the crux of the ghost sory. My eyes shifted to the 2 cousins. The elder boy who's the same age as me ( but he looked like 20+!) widened his eyes and i guessed he must have felt that it was rude to hit the table! I don't know, it's really distant. All along, they were whispering in each other's ears just like little boys( the younger brother is about 15 years old, shocked!). i was labelled by my sister as being 'hua chi', nomatter which guy i see, i will go ga-ga over him. But hey, who doesn't when that guy meet your requirements...haiz..but to think of it, it's a shallow thing to do! i believed in inner beauty but couldn't resist to check out the other party good looks! Ok,i shall stop here and stop contradicting myself.
It was time to leave, my fifth uncle suggested that next christmas we should organcise a beauty pagent as he saw all girls were growing into swans!haha...u know..catwalk...Q&A...blah..blah.Time to say goodbye, my 3 sisters and i said and waved goodbye to them(we were going into 2 directions as they parked their car the onther side), and i saw the 2 cousins waved back spontaneously! Not bad, at least they were friendly!
The crux of today's happening : if only i took a small move...yes...a small move to initiate the introduction,i might get to know the 2 cousins better! I just hate that feeling -
REGRET !! I don'tknow when can i get to see them again as they were leaving for Australia today at 11 am!
All the best, 'biao yi ma', 'biao ge' &' biao di'.

Group photo before we set off!
Hi everyone, it's time to update my blog! Last week was an eventful week because it was all about bonding and fun and lots of photo shots!
Ok,i stopped at elaborating the netball camp, now i'm gonna share the hike experience at MacRitchie.It was my first time hiking and though the rocky route was quite similar to OBS's but the feeling is different because it was a fun hike full of fun and laughter. Moreover, we get to eat our snacks and share it with one another. MacRitchie is a good place for filming those wushu drama serials just like jin yong's work because the surrounding nature is fantastic- green,clean and windy.Also,the river bank looked wide enough for one to exert his qi gong to fly from one end to another! Haha,i know it's too far fetched!
Along the way,we took a lot of pictures but i don't look photogenic! Haha....The most memorable route was when we were oing up the steep slope to the Tree Top walk. It was about 25 to 27 metres high. It was not scary at all. It reminded me of the Jurassic Park structure!
The worst part was getting out of Tree Top walk because there were a lot of stairs to clear,we climbed up up up then down down down. Then we reached Singapore Island Country Club golf course.Oh gosh, it was a perfect place to have a picnic because the greenness and the weather was perfect!
Time was running out and we have to fasten our pace. The 'adventure' began: we have to overcome the slippery muddy surface and sure enough,we were experiencing 'snow ski' without the handle. Screams, laughter and excitement filled the nature atmosphere! haha...Then we continue our walk,walk walk walk and finally we reached our destination! Yeah!!
Then we went to town.We have lunch together at sakura thai restaurant at far east. The food was delicious and we have a good laugh at xiling's 'joke' : i celebrate happy new year. hey xiling, i hope you don't mind!After that, everyone was dead tired and wanted to go home except for me,xiling,elle,yuyin and aneesha. We went to Cine because elle wanted to catch a movie very much. Since they were watching Polar Express,i and xiling expressed not much interest & we baded them goodbye and off we go.
On Friday,we have a netball bbq.The weather suxs!It rained at 9+ and we couldm't carry on bbqing and all of us rushed to the clubhouse!The rain was so heavy that it threatened to rain heavier till the next morning! All of us were drenched but the fun began : pose,click,flash.
There are some pictures to share with you guys!
Hi ppl! I just came back from netball training! This netball day camp is not bad,not as dreadful as i thought! Haha..at least there's some bonding time on the 1st day when the weather was real bad and we have to come up with our own 'game' after 30 miuntes of continuous running around the school! We played monkey and it was hilarious! Poor xiling..she's fated to be the monkey for she stay no more than 1 to 2 minutes round the circle! Of course i have my fair share of being the monkey and i felt apologetic when i bumped/contact onto them!
Today's training is boring cos we were doing the same courtwork/drills over and over again.Ms Choo was busy with her report! But today's weather is G.R.E.A.T cos it's not too hot and there's wind...natural coolness! Oh well, gotta rest cos there will be a hike tml morning at Macritchie Reservoir then we gonna celebrate Elaine aka Elle's birthday tml at Sakura! Yeah!
Yes,The FInal Showdown..it's either YOU or ME!
May the best man win
Nice group pic
Funny smile
Cool!!
Taufik & maia
vote for Olinda
Sly & Daphne
Top 30
Sylvester..Jazz
Taufik Batisah!
People! It's a historical moment - 10.50 pm - The result is coming out soon.
5,4,3,2,1....It's Sylvester...no no no no..it's Taufik Batisah!
It's a competition of R&B and Rock, Looks & Talent and the crazy fans who outdo one another!
Initially, i truly hope that Taufik will win and do Singapore proud in World idol. But somehow,i got into the 'Sylvester craze'..haha...i don't know...i have mixed feelings.
I think..i think..i'm being a bit of racist here! In my heart,Taufik will surely win but physically(flesh) I support Sylvester!
I was sitting right in front of the TV and hoping that Sylvester will edge out Taufik but Singapore think likewise and i felt that they did the right thing afterall.
Congrats to Taufik! Yahoo!hehex..
Fret not, they are of different in their singing styles and the genre they specialise in so they are not in conflict!
Sylvester will make it big in the Chinese music industry while Taufik will make it big in the English and Malay music industry. Talking about the Malay music industry,Taufik will have to fight with Malaysia idol (Jacklyn Victor,25 years old) and Indonesia idol(Joy Destiny Tobing,24 years old).Both are powerhouses with voices comparable to Beyonce,Mariah Carey and so on!
Who knows Taufik might have a surprise romance with either of them!(I'm thinking too far!)
Another limelight - Dick Lee.
He's A-W-E-S-O-M-E! He can sing,play the piano,write lyrics,create music! Though he's 48, BuT he's still C-H-A-R-M-I-N-G! My mum is crazy over him!
Awaiting for Singapore idol album!
