I was just very bored, and surfing through Yahoo! website.. Was feeling curious about what the horoscope thing has to say about my day, and here it is:

Quickie:Your stress level is out of hand. No wonder your back hurts. Take a break, already!

Overview:After the drama of the past week or so, it's time to get back to work. And if anyone is ready, it's you. Roll up your sleeves and dig in. It's time to make up for lost time.


*GASP!* Almost true! I've got backaches, getting abit stressed.. Cherie probably knows what the drama is about, and yeah, I'm definitely planning to get back to work.. O_O

Ok la. Most likely somebody spied on me or something.. So much for disguising myself so that people wouldn't know I'm the Queen.. Oh well. =P

Another one of the worse times of my life.. Life really sucks sometimes.. I feel no different from an orphan.. I felt as though I'm living under other people's roof, having to fend for myself and all that.. Feeling a little helpless sometimes, because at least if I'm living under other people's roof, I'll get better treatment.. But I guess God put me in this situation so that I could learn to become a stronger person, and learn how to live independently, so I will be able to survive when I go overseas to study.. Oh well. Thing is, I won't have so many friends and my relatives to help me when I'm there. OH... That's why God wants me to learn how to live independently now right.. So that I'll be able to survive when I'm without friends there. Ahaha. God's smart. Okok.. Tree's strong, no worries.. Look at my roots man.. They stretch deep into the ground! ;) I need to talk to people and let off steam though, regardless how strong the tree is.. AND.. I'm glad I've got wonderful friends to see me through this period of hard times! Thanks to Cherie for rushing down to my place and comfort me and spending time with me and crapping with me and eating with me and shopping with me and the list goes on and on.. (Ok leave some credits for others too ok?) Thanks to Ting for pei-ing me that night (with Cherie as well) though she probably doesn't know what happened. Hahaha.. Anyway, she cracks jokes like she's born with it! Oh. She IS really born with it. Haha. As for Shin, though she didn't come and join us in our crapping and "sms marathon", I'm sure she thought of us as much as we thought of her! Hope her exams went well, and that she's having a good rest for now!

If anyone reading this cannot really make any sense out of what I'm talking about.. Eh.. Never mind la. Haha. Just remember the Queen will not be defeated! Woohoo!

Phew.. Thank goodness I only pressed verify, and not submit.. Something happened, because after I clicked verify, the thing went back to the 1st log-in page.. So it wasn't submitted! Heng ah..

ii) NUS welcomes the contributions each student brings to its community. Describe a special talent, contribution or a personal quality that you will bring to NUS. (1200 characters)

"It depends on how people define special talent. Many people would think of people like: talented skater, talented chef, talented pianist, talented artist, etc. My so-called talent is none of the above, but what manages to amaze me quite often is, I can learn and memorise scores quite fast. I'm a chorister."



The people at the office of admissions are gonna laugh their arse off.

iii) Is there anything else you would like us to know about yourself, such as a significant setback or a personal experience that has had an impact on your aspiration to read the course you have chosen at NUS? (1200 characters)

"Yes. I suffered big time last year. Of all times, I had to be locked out of my house last year before June Common Test because my parents were having a big quarrel and they rather sacrifice my future than give in to each other. I got straight Fs, which never happened in my whole entire life. I was not a Bio student in secondary school, and I worked hard on it. But I never really got the chance to do well in my 2 JC years, because everytime I get the hang of things and I'd get pulled back by unforeseen circumstances like what I said about last year. Did I mention that I wanted to be a doctor so I could treat my grandmother when she's sick and so I could go for mission trips with my church to the less fortunate countries to heal the people? Though the course requirements for medicine states that applicants should have 'A'-Level pass in Chemistry and either Biology or Physics, many of us know very well that the course only wants the cream of the crop, and that is not me. I'll never be able to fulfil it anymore just because of the big terrible hell that broke loose last year. I'll still put it as one of the options though, so that at least I will not regret for not trying. Not that it matters now, because what's done is not reversible, I suppose I'll just have to make do with what course options I'm left with. Hopefully, in a few years time before I graduate, NUS will come up with a post-graduate medicine course. I would most likely go for it!"


Can you imagine I typed this for my NUS application?

Doom.

Was talking to my aunt at the office today.. She asked me whether I've applied for uni.. I told her I haven't applied for local ones but I've applied for the Australian ones already.. She asked me why, and I said that because the Australian ones closing date was earlier, thus I applied the Australian ones first.. Then we were talking about the courses.. She told me I can study commerce.. Grr. I wanted to bite her head off. I thought to myself, "Don't assume you can tell me what to do just because you're my aunt. You're not even my mum. What right do you have to tell me what to study? Even my mum doesn't decide what I should study. So why should you be some smart-aleck and tell me what I should do." Maybe I'm pms-ing. I don't know. I got quite irritated with her. I told her I'll stay in Singapore to study if they have what I want to study. She told me the same thing again: People who cannot study in local uni will go overseas. WHAT BULLSHIT. I really felt super rebellious and I rebutted her. Of course that is not true. Singapore caters courses to produce people she needs. And obviously I'm not smart enough to study those courses, and neither am I interested. Research, engineering, etc not my cup of tea. I don't know really. If she hadn't tell me what to do, I might still want to stay in Singapore to study. After talking to her, I got so put off. Argh. And I read Chit Eng's blog.. How she was doing over there, what she had been doing.. I know it's not easy to be out in foreign land alone, but I really wish I'm there too, spending my uni years peacefully and hopefully, happily. Then again.. I'm not so sure about that, because I may want to get married early.. Haha. Maybe my prince charming finally managed to brainwash me.. Or maybe, it's more like I willingly let him brainwash me? Haha. Whatever. 1 year and 2 months anniversary tomorrow! Good Friday indeed! :D

Sigh.. It's been quite a bad morning, considering that out of the few things that happened this morning, one of them had to be something bad.. Waking up, changing, sleeping in dad's car, had breakfast with dad, get scared by a cat.. The thing that had to happen that spoiled my morning is what my dad talked to me about.. He told me doing business in Singapore is difficult.. He talked about his brother in Indonesia, how he earned quite a lot by buying a factory and selling it out again.. I know what he's thinking about.. He wished he could return back there and take the easy way out.. Enjoy life.. What about his family? His children? Does he really spared a thought about us? Does he expect us to go back with him to that ruined country and be some unrefined morons there? Or is he going to just abandon us here?

Sigh never mind. I need to dabian again. And Vincent Wong Wee Ting will probably never understand why I don't like Indonesians so much. Not all, but most of them.

It felt like the day was full of activities, or maybe it's just the time that slipped by too quickly..

Went to my dad's office today, feeling super tired, very worn out.. Don't ask me why, I don't know either. Left my dad's office in the afternoon (as usual) and went home to take a nap.. Met Cherie at 530pm after my nap to play pool, and Ting came soon after that.. Haha. She's got some problems, so we talked to her about it.. Hope she's feeling fine.. Whatever it is, I want her to know that her sisters love her!

Lao-sai again while we were having the chat.. Sigh. Don't know what's wrong with me these days.. Not like I've been eating rubbish or what lor.. Haix. Maybe too stressed. Must stay calm and cool..

Came on msn and talked to alot of people today.. First person was Vincent Wong Wee Ting (I somehow feel quite used to calling his full name..) We were talking abt whether it's better being a chinese or malay. Haha. I generally don't like Indonesian people. Haha. Argued like dunno what. But quite fun la. Haha. Next was Brandon.. Lol. He's still using the nick I gave him -- Brandy: I'm not alcoholic! Lol.. Quite funny.. I was very amused.. Haha. Talked about alot of things.. He makes a great entertainer! Then there was that smelly boy Derek, who keeps insisting I'm a dirty girl just because I stained my shirt the other time.. |||-_-O Next came Sinsiu.. Haha. She's always a great person to talk to when you have problems.. I remember our night walks at the park near our house when we're feeling stressed or upset.. Haha. Talk, laugh, joke, crap.. Ooh, our forte! Haha. (More like she got too influenced by me :P) We always look like some lesbians enjoying some romance under the starlight. Wahahaha.. Those were the memories! Haha. Okok, digressed to much le. Lastly, is Wilson.. Haha. He had a haircut yesterday, more shuai le! :D Did I say I went to watch Howl's Moving Mansion with him on Monday..? Anyway, the main point is, do go watch it! It's great! Haha. Or maybe it's just me. I like stories that're a little mysterious and involves magic. Haha. His exams coming soon.. Wish him all the best!

There's work tomorrow.. Hope I'll have time to apply for local universities soon.. Gotta go bathe.. Tata!

Super tired now.. Was at church in the afternoon for choir practice, then headed for City Hall to apply for unis at the Study In Australia exhibition.. Was eager to try on the new slippers I bought yesterday, but that was a terrible mistake.. My first time wearing slippers with heels, man that hurt like hell after walking so much! What had to add on to the terrible sore in my feet was having to carry the big bag of prospectus..

I was there at like 230pm, applied for a double degree Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science.. Because I don't really know what to apply other than that.. Seriously, not interested in anything.. But since the application fees are waived, why not apply first and decide later.. The people from different universities who attended to me are generally very friendly, left me a good impression.. However towards the end, I think the people were getting a little frustrated.. Too tired from standing and talking to so many people I guess.. I really hope I can go overseas.. Even if I get to study those courses in Singapore, I think I'd still go overseas.. Why..? Because my parents are arguing again.. What's the point of staying in Singapore and get affected by them and do badly again..? Sigh. When will this terrible life end..? ='( Somebody please come and distract me from thinking about all these..

Wanted to blog a lot more.. But I don't have the mood already.. Sorry....

Came back from the concert more than an hour ago.. Sat and stared blankly at the comp screen for quite some time before deciding on taking a bath.. The concert was quite ok, just that I'm not the sort to really appreciate classical music, much less such orchestral concerts.. Haha. Sounds a little like Brandon now. At least I don't dislike classical music. :P

Before the concert, I was at Raffles place hunting for some food so that Xueli could eat something before we head for the concert.. Was at the Raffles Exchange (like CityLink, just that it's quite quiet in there and not many shops are officially opened yet) looking around for shops selling food, and I chanced upon this shoe shop that plays Utada Hikaru songs! Weeee~ I rushed into the shop upon hearing my favourite Hikki song Wait & See! Then I realised I was a behaving a little too weirdly, so I pretended to look at the shoes, try them on yada yada. Was happily humming to myself, and picked blue/white a slipper with heels to try on. Goodness me, they've the slippers that fit my feet! I was quite amazed and happy at my find, so I decided to buy them. Muahaha. Partly because they play UH songs I guess. Hee hee. I spent $28+ on that pair of beautiful slippers.. I guess it's worth it, considering that I normally can't find shoes that fit me. Happy!

Found a BK further inside Raffles Exchange.. Then went back to Raffles MRT control to meet Xueli. Brought him to BK, and told him about the shop that played UH songs. Haha. But he decided to go to the Mac nearer to VCH, so we walked past that shop again.. Slower this tahm, so we could listen to the song! Lalala..

Isaac, Brian and Kenneth were later than us, so we waited at the second level of VCH. Zhangyi looked a little more shuai in his blazer.. Lol. Complimented him, and his head got so BIG!! I guess we were quite bored at the concert.. During the concert, I noticed a head beside me bobbing up and down out of the corner of my eye.. Turned to see what it is.. That was Xueli nodding off to sleep.. Haha.. I nearly burst out in laughter.. Lol. Derek came in after the second song, and he sat right in front of me. Haha.. What a coincidence. I was getting quite sleepy from listening to the orchestral playing and Xueli's bobbing head.. For a moment I even thought I heard him snore.. Haha.

Glad the concert ended.. Quite sian though.. So many kids there, making so much noise as though they were at a playground.. Grr. Alright.. Time to say goodbye.. Gotta go church tomorrow and go for the Study In Australia exhibition.. Nighty folks..

Wanted to post a second entry yesterday, but I wasn't really in the mood to.. Anyway, what happened yesterday is, I went to Dhoby Ghaut to meet my CGmates for dinner at Summer Spoon.. Quite fun la but I had to leave soon because I wanna rush home to watch 1/2 yuan2 fen4 that starts at 9pm.. So, yah. Nothing much. Took quite a few photos yesterday.. Hope I'll be able to get it from either Lisa or PS..

Planned to go for the Study In Australia Exhibition today.. But I was unprepared and didn't even research what I wanna study.. So.. Yah. Wasting my time looking for some course that I am probably interested in and will give me the motivation to study, and hopefully a course that will accept me despite my grades. Considering music, but somehow I just don't have the courage to go through auditions and all that. Sigh. What am I gonna do with my life?? Guess I will go apply for the universities tomorrow after church. Hope I won't be too late. Don't wanna miss the long-awaited er.. "opportunity". Melbourne is really crazy la. Even arts courses require such high grades. I feel so disappointed and discouraged. Adelaide is slightly better though. Whatever la. After I'm done with the Australian Universities, I'll go and apply for local universities. Hopefully I'll get some good news soon. *Pray, hope, and cross-fingers* Attending Zhangyi's concert tonight.. Hope that'll distract me a little and bring me back to my hyper mood. Take care everyone, esp prince charming. I miss you!

First entry of the day: I laosai-ed today! Haven't had that for quite a long time. Ow. Hurts.

Boring day in reality, but full of fantasies in daydreamland.. Nah. Just imagining myself skating freely in the ice-skating ring.. Spent my day sleeping in the office, playing games, watching my brother play runescape. Ah. Bored. Guess I'll just sleep early tonight. Nothing beats having a good sleep. There's CG dinner tomorrow.. Don't know why, having second thoughts about turning up for the dinner. Will decide tomorrow I guess. Not in the mood to blog much.. Take care folks..

Photos, photos! -- taken using my handphone
Since I'm finally understand how to put up pictures, might as well do them now..                         
Recent photos:

Mentioned that I wanted to show you guys how Xueli looks without his hair.. So this is how Xueli looks now..

Ok, resigned to my fate.. He's still prettier than me even without hair..

This is my grams! Hehe it's a candid shot.. Haha. Taken during CNY..

This is my hand!! Look at the henna, quite nice eh.. Did this with Cherie at Orchard a few days before CNY..

 

This is the picture of the puzzle I'm making! Heyes Orchestra. Hee.

This is me! Was feeling a little zi lian.. Muahahaha..

 

Photos taken quite a long time ago:

This is me & Wilson, mugging at Changi Airport T2 BK.. That's quite sometime before A levels.. Ok, actually I was the only one mugging.. He's just there to read comics, eat, drink and accompany me while I study.. Prince Charming.. Haha. =P

This is a cross-stitch I made for Wilson on our 1 year anni.. Very nice right.. I made it myself.. So proud of my craftwork. Muahahaha. Ok la this should be considered quite recent.. Sorry to make you guys tilt your heads..

Lemme introduce my first laopo (aka first wife) and bazang! Tada!

Here in the middle is this gigantic Precious Tots thing, and the one on the leftmost is my 2nd wife Kalyn!

This pretty girl with me is my 3rd wife.. So sweet looking right? Haha. Oh man, I look so awful with glasses..

My 1st concubine is Xueli.. Refer to the picture at the top.. Haha..

This is Dimpy, that's when he just went to NS.. He's the 2nd concubine!

Charles, forever known as the multi-talented person.. He's the 3rd and last concubine! Sorry if the photo looks very blur and dark.. It was taken in a cathedral in Europe, while we were bored waiting for our turn to sing.. Haha. The only photo taken in Europe using my handphone..

This is Wilson while we're Gelare at East Coast Park on our 1 year anni.. He insists that it's ugly.. Haha. That's the reason why I put it up right? =P

Last but not least, here's the photo of my beloved sisters!

So adorable right! Haha..

Soon it was 730pm.. They were late! Grr.. That was the thing that spoiled my mood a little today. I don't like waiting for people. The worst thing is, they were half an hour late! Not even a slightest courtesy to at least let me know that they'll be late. But it's ok la. They've their reasons for being late. And anyway I'm really happy that I took the photo with the kids, so tada! I'm still happy as a lark!

Missed a little of the beginning, but it's ok. Oh man I love watching the skaters.. They're so cool! *envious* I can't skate.. Can somebody please teach me..? I love the dances, and I think it's just so sweet, watching the fairytales unfold, one by one (though it's a little too brief).. Was really engrossed, felt like one of the princesses, gliding freely around the stage.. *super envious!* Getting a little too dreamy.. I guess every girl has their own fairytale dream that they wish would come true.. Who doesn't want to be loved, and treated like a little princesse? "Someday my prince will come.. Someday I'll find my love and how thrilling that moment will be.. When the prince of my dreams comes to me.. He'll whisper I love you.. And steal a kiss or two.. Though he's far away, I'll find my love someday.. Someday when my dreams come true.." Imagine yourself dancing to this song, with the prince of your dreams in your arms! *swoon..* Haha.. Then again, snap back to reality.. Dreams normally don't come true, except for bad ones. Plus, I don't need to dream about my prince coming. Cos I've already found him! Haha.. *big happy blessed-look grin*

That's about it I guess.. Back to dreaming about my own prince charming.. Hee.

Signing off,

Mrs Teresa Charming ; )

Oh wow. I'm blogging again. Why? 'Cause I'm quite pissed and sian diao today. There's not much work at my dad's office today, or maybe I'm just a very *ahem* efficient worker. I spent the rest of my day playing neopets and all. Really bored. Even took a short nap. Wanted to leave in the afternoon, like around 3pm, but my aunt insisted that I don't leave. I just don't know why! Sigh. I told her I wanted to go home and do my "business", because I just can't do "business when I'm outside in public toilets, plus the toilet at my dad's office isn't exactly clean, and I don't wanna get bitten by mosquitoes while in the midst of my "business transactions". She insisted that I do it there, so ok fine, I went to the toilet and gave it a try. Grr. The thought of me starts me boiling again. She told me to wait for her, because she'll most likely leave around 4pm, then she can send me home. So I thought, ok, not so bad, at least I can save on my bus fare and all I have to do is just wait a while longer. Who'd know that she did work all the way till 6pm?! Well I thought since I've already waited, it's ok to wait a while more. Sigh. Then we left the office, I was quite tired, I suppose she is too. Then she dropped me off at a bus stop. I was like -- huh?? Not sending me home? What the hell. Made me wait for nothing and in the end I still have to take buses home. GRR. *bearing teeth* She irks me!

Ok, sorry jie for not blogging for like almost a month.. Cos life has been super boring! I'm not so excited about my life as to blog like everything, plus I didn't win First Prize for the competition like how Cherie did.. (Haha help ya advertise a little) The big events that happened the past month.. Results collection day has the biggest hooha I guess. People are still talking about it. And I don't like the aunties asking me cos they make me feel like they are trying to compare me with their kids. I know I didn't do well or meet up any of you people's expectations, but it's my life, and I don't like people probing me at places where I'm most sensitive about it (especially those ah-sohs). At least not when I'm ready to talk about it.

Another big event is, I watched a movie alone for the first time. A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. It's a great movie! Haha. I like witty and smart kiddos. Violet Baudelaire is soooo pretty! Gosh. And her brother Klaus is quite charismatic for his age too! Sunny is the funniest. Lol. Wish I could watch that show again.. Haha. The second movie that I watched alone is Hitch. Haha. Johanes said I'm anti-social.. Is it? Sometimes I feel quite good without company. Give myself some quiet private time, very much needed! But that doesn't mean I mind having company. Haha.

Hm.. Not really big events la huh. Life's been boring for me.. Most of my girl friends are working, or the closer ones are either schooling or overseas.. As for the guy friends, they're either in NS, or they're not really close to me. As for the dearest dearest person, he's been too busy with school work la. Abit guilty for disturbing him the other time.. *Many apologies..*

Oh, I remember.. I went to NUS open house.. Felt like a dead place.. Sigh. Imagine if I have to study there for a few years. Sorry NUS students, no offence, but I just don't like the feel of it.. Went with Xueli last Saturday to that place.. The place just doesn't appeal to us, the people look boring, and the courses are not that fascinating either. Worse, the weather is TERRIBLE!! Grr.. We perspired like hell just to get from the varsity to the bus stop. Poor me, super hungry.. So we went to Bugis for lunch, got there and felt like walking zombies, and was revitalised after lunching at Hoshigaoka. But that crazy guy wanted ice-cream.. So we went to the ice-cream parlour to eat ice-cream. Man he sure is a big-eater despite his size.. Haha.. Big sigh, because that evening I've another big feast waiting for me. My family held a gathering, had BBQ and alot of other yummy food.. But I couldn't eat much and had to serve my Dad's business associates.. Oh well.. Too bad for me.. All Xueli's fault..

I finally bought my much-needed quilt on Sunday! Went hunting at Carrefour and the Swedish shop at IKEA for Wilson's strawberry puree, but they don't sell it.. Sigh. Poor thing, he had to make the thing himself and finish his 50 pages worth of journal and sleep late again.. Met him for dinner today.. Muahaha. Yawn.. Brain starting to shut down.. Gonna go dream of my Prince Charming... Jie you go find yours soon too..

Haha. *slpy head not making sense le..*
