Haven't been sleeping well for the past few days and my dark circles are damn serious. Just had a rehab com meeting. I'm left with less than 4 hours of sleep because we have to wake up at 5.15am for Taiji. Haha.

Anyway, we went Tian An Men square, Forbidden City and Great Wall of China today. The itinerary for today is much better than yesterday. Didn't make it to the top of the Great Wall Of China due to time constraint. Left with one freaking flight of stairs, we met Kubo-san there, took photos with the banner and screamed our lungs out. T01 did pretty well. More than half of the class reached the second top and some even went up to the peak. Then my leg skin began to crack. I should have heeded mum's advice on putting moisturizer every night before sleep.
Dinner was pizza buffet, it was good because it was buffet but the food were so-so.
At night went running (so called generating heat) to Wal Mart nearby the hotel with some of the T01 peeps to buy snacks then was busy all the way till 12am plus.

I'll be uploading photos when I'm back in Singapore so stay tune for heavy images again, and funny videos. (:

Having my supper now! Goodnight world!
1:04 AM

Awesome! There's computer and free wireless access in the hotel room. :D
The temperature here is colddddd! My lip is cracking anytime and it snowed today. Just a little flakes. Tomorrow would probably snow more. (:

Midnight flight kills. I couldn't stop fidgeting and only slept for an hour. Night time is high time! Hahaha.
Food wise are not that bad actually. We visted Lama Temple, museum and LaoShe Teahouse today.
I got a news today that people sabotaged me to be the emcee for the rehab centre visit and the media is coming to film. I didn't bring any make ups at all plus it's my first time being an emcee and being filmed. I'm stressed okay. =x

Shall sms mum first then it's party time! (:
11:20 PM

Meeting classmates and Carolyn for dinner at Airport. So yeah, bye. I'll be back on 4th April. Hope to see Wesley grow bigger when I'm back. (:
7:28 PM

It's funny when you received photos then realised what people did behind you.


































Then came the most exciting part.



















There are still tons of photos but I can't possibly upload all of them. Viewable in Facebook!
Got to be school at 10am tomorrow and it's time to hit the pillow. (:
2:11 AM

Awesome day it was. Met up with CPR, Prashant and Zongyou in the afternoon to shop and collect the stuffs then went Prashant's house to play rock band before the BBQ starts.
The chicken wings prepared by the chicken man - Roy, were delicious! And the satays don't taste like rock. Haha.
The ones who got thrown into the pool of the day were Kephren and Ernie and I was happily clicking away with a DSLR. Wait till I got the photos on Facebook and I shall post them up there. ;)

Might not be watching Coming Soon anymore as some of them said it's not worth it. Well, let's see what are the plans for tomorrow and Saturday before checking-in at night.

A few photos taken while waiting for the other classmates to arrive.


Now I realised how ugly the back of my hair is. :(
I'll get it dyed black before attachment.


I'm lazy to upload all so the rest will be on Facebook.
11:28 PM

No intensive activities anymore. I gotta save all my energy for China trip and I must make it to the top of great-wall-of-China this time round which I failed to do so 10 years ago, haha.
Now, my legs are aching due to yesterday but I kind of like this feeling. It gives me a very relaxed mood and makes me want to rest.

Looked through the photos that were taken in Beijing when I was a child. Wrapped up like a cotton candy in oversized jackets, I looked so funny. Haha.
Mum says we've been to Tianjing before too but I have no recall of that. Could vaguely remember some of the iconic places of Beijing, though.
3 more days to the trip.

T01 BBQ tomorrow. Yayness!
2:04 PM

I guess I don't have to go to cinema anymore, because I have the lastest movies in my Ipod including Confession of a Shopaholic! But of cause I still like the atmosphere in a cinema better. It's been another half a year since I last stepped into a cinema. 4Phobia was the last movie I caught. Unlike secondary school days when I will catch at least 2 movies within a week.
I wanna watch Coming Soon before Beijing trip because I will never download or buy any horror movies. x)

Anyway went for class BBQ earlier on. I did fill my stomach but not to my heart's contentment. The food doesn't taste very good, no offence. Then I realised I'm still hungry after reaching home. Should have eaten more!
Went bicycle-riding for 90 mins non-stop. I didn't realise that I rode all the way from ECP to Changi Beach till I saw the sign. Haha! Shinyee was slowwww like a tortoise so we eventually got separated.
Some routes were really scary. The street lamps were all spoiled and I was literally blinded by the darkness. It was like a piece of deserted forest where only shadows could be seen. I still can't understand why did I go in alone in the first place. Just felt that I should move on and not turn back. Followed a male cyclist who told me that was the way but it was wrong! Inspite of the spooky atmosphere, I was actually calmed at that moment because my Ipod was playing christian songs. (:
And altogether, I passed through 4 of these dark routes. It wasn't very tiring but my ass hurt.
Lessons learned, maps and bicycle-lighting are essential.

On my way home, I felt a little emo. If only I could turn back time and didn't trust someone wrongly, I would have been happier now. I really don't want to think of it anymore but this pops up in my head everytime.

Forget it! I'm going to have my second serving of ice-cream now!
11:24 PM

Oh gosh there's some construction going on in our block that gonna last for weeks. Noise pollution. Hate it. Thank God I won't be around for next week.
I need a nap despite the noise because I'm beat, for waking up early for this morning's consultation. Weswes hates the noise too. Ha.

Been taking so much cold stuffs nowadays and I'm having more than a cup of ice-cream every single day, don't ask me why. x)

Am I evil or what? I'm kind of comforted to know the fact that so many people screwed up FC supp. =x
1:15 PM

Went to give mum our supports for her performance with cousin. There was buffet too. In the midst of the event, we went to eat tau huay at a beancurd shop then went 7 eleven for snacks. Afterwhich we went Tampines for meals. Almost wanted to have dessert to top it off. Haha.

It's exactly a week more to Beijing trip. We'll be departing on the 28th instead of 29th such that we will reach Beijing on the 29th in the morning. It's a midight flight and I've stored alot of movies in my Ipod, heh.

This one week is going to pass very fast because everyday is filled with events.
Monday: Pre-trip consultation
Tuesday: C1 BBQ?
Wednesday: Orphanage group meeting? Pastamania with cousin!
Thursday: T01 BBQ!
Friday: Borrow Dolphin's secret (:
Saturday: Plently of rest!

So I won't be going OLTC.



Freeze! Don't move!


And sleep.


I totally didn't manipulate his positions.

Who the hell who ate apple and paste the damn sticker on my head? *Shake shake shake it off.


Not me, it was my brother. Haha.
10:36 PM

Woke up with a mild fever and almost didn't want to turn up for the paper but absence means immediate F. My last revision this morning didn't work because nothing went into my head at all and my eyes felt so heavy.
Luck was actually with me but my brain wasn't collaborating well. I was kinda glad during the reading time until I started doing. I couldn't remember much. Just bits of here and there. If only the passing mark was 40% like the main... 10% is too much to be moderated even if I could.
And I broke down after the paper. It was the second time I actually cried after exam. First was Chinese O level and now it's just a supp. This course means alot to me. Retaking FC is my worst nightmare because I have not thought that I wouldn't be able to clear my supp until last night. But I felt so much better after letting all my unhappines out in one go after supressing them for so long.
I really wanna thank mum for serving me during exam period, for heating up my supper and making breakfast for me to keep me going and this morning she told me to just do my best.
And also Shinyee for giving me all your FC notes even though you have even more blanks than me. Ha.

I ought to be glad that it's officially holidays for me? It's pointless to harp on it anyway. Life goes on. I have tons of other things awaiting me.
11:16 AM

It's 9 more hours to my paper and I can't take it anymore. My brain is seriously filled to the brim and ran out of brain juice. This is one of the most stressful moments in my life. I really lose out to FC this time round. Despite being only 4 topics, it seems never-ending and Petrina Lim just refuses to give me any hints. All she told me was a bit of lecture, a bit tutorial and a bit of lab. Isn't that everything? And it's going to be much more difficult than main.
The overlapping of topics and all sort of chemical reactions are confusing me.
I didn't turn up for revision due to ACM excursion so no negotiation for moderation.
Please give me luck tomorrow. Think on the bright side! I wouldn't be alone even if I were to retake. LOL. But the thought of lab reports, notebook and mini project makes me feel like banging the wall. :(

Not in the best of mood lately. Many things cropped up. It's really depressing to go into a state when you find that noone can be trusted. I haven't been feeling that life sucks for a long time and this was how I feel for the past few days.
I feel like thrashing everything out here but I know some of those people do read my blog and I don't want to make the matter anymore worse. So, it's gonna be in my private blog.
I shouldn't even let it bother me.

Thankfully I have a bunch of very nice classmates from GC T01. If only we could be classmates for the years ahead of us, it would be great. Thanks for all the encouragement and chatting with you guys simply make my day. Thank you.

I shall do a final revision later and plus a little bit of luck for tomorrow hopefully. *sprinkle sprinkle

Please let me be strong no matter what the outcome is tomorrow.
12:14 AM

http://borrowdolphin.blogspot.com/

Haha met up with Prashant and Zong You today for group meeting. Tons of funny ideas. This blog is created for our final presentation. Not done at the moment but it'll be filled with beautiful memories with re-editing after China trip.
There will be two BBQs next week. Both C1 and GC T01. Gonna eat till heart content before a week of not-so-tasty food in China?

Might not be blogging for the next few days.

Leopard never changes its spots, I'm speechless.
6:44 PM

Had GC common test today. Alright but the question on Ethnocentrism was pretty screwed up. Initially I wrote it correctly then I thought it was wrong so striked it off. -.-
Went to see doctor and stuffs then had our pre-trip briefing. I'm so looking forward to going Beijing now although I was kinda appalled to know that we will be taking Air China instead of Singapore Airline.
And I'm so going to Pastamania before the trip. Imagine having chinese cooked food everyday. *roll eyes
5:44 PM

Got my Ipod Classic 6.5th generation 120gb today! Nope I didn't go to IT fair due to the crowd. Bought it at Nubox. It's niceeee! Wanted to get Nano initially but mum advised it's best to get the best which Ipod touch is out of my options because I dislike touch screen ever since HTC Touch plus I don't think I need that much applications such as games for a mp4 player. I hope I won't regret my choice for choosing over Nano.

The electronic gadets in my list are almost fulfilled except for a new camera. Haven't gotten the time to check the reviews and stuffs. Next time then, it's a heartache to spend in a bulk. Shall make do with my current camera in Beijing.

I kind of dislike my phone now. Right, it's only been a week. Got to wait till December to change. Next phone shall be non-qwerty keyboard. I miss the normal way of typing sms. Or perhaps I have clumsy fingers?

Baby Wesley is getting heavier. I find it tiring to hold him with one hand now. Weighing at 1kg plus. He's not going for shows in the future anymore because he's so gonna be overweight. Haha.
4:38 PM

Photos of ACM trip.

Not a class photo. Few groups missing here and there.




This was seriously random for me. I just stood there then suddenly all of them pointed to a direction so I asked Kephren what they were pointing to.




All were listening except one.


Apparently there were more photos taken but I only received a few in facebook. Minus the one candid shot of me looking so pathetically sad. Haha.



I captured this few days ago and I think he looks really lovely in here. So much like a girl. Well actually majority of the cats you could tell the sex just by looking at their faces. It's somewhat amazing but true.
Sadly, this photo doesn't look like him in real life! He's a devil.

I feel so good and calm suddenly.
12:56 PM

I couldn't find the lamb jerky which supposed to be Wesley's treat! Canned wet food will do just as good because he has been on complete dry food for the past few weeks. How about opening a tuna with chicken flavour? And I'm going to disinfect all his toys tomorrow. All so dirty. Haha.

Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out
11:24 PM

I don't know if I'm right to say that but I feel that love isn't all about compromising forever. Although it is often said that if you like someone, you would love his/her everything but if you are unable to accept each other's lifestyle, how are you going to love and spend the entire life together forever? That's when compromises come in.

Then, what if one party gets tired?

Having said that, I don't mean I'm a I-want-it-all-my-way person.
Occasional compromises would be alright but it is not for major things in our lives.

So I think having mutual interests/lifestyles is more important than having mutual feelings in the long run. Feelings come in the second. I don't believe in love at first sight for humans because there are so much to understand for each individual. So much you do not know.

I may sound super wrong to someone but ya it's my two cents worth.

Okay before I get cranky, I better hit the bed. It's going to 3am.
2:13 AM

We had the last GC lecture today. Yes! The so boring lectures! Tutorial's topic wasn't as fun as yesterday but we still had fun among ourselves. Played cards after we've done while waiting for others.
Kinda excited tomorrow. We'll be having movie in the morning then a trip to Asian Civilisation Museum. How long was my last excursion or learning journey? It was museum too if I didn't remember wrongly.

It's another black Friday tomorrow and Wesley's first month with me. He came on Feb black Friday as well. Haha.
Giving him a bath later on, also considered as his monthly celebration in advance. He certainly won't enjoy it but he definitely needs a bath!
2:04 PM

Ha, I'm looking forward to every GC tutorial. Today did identity and it was funny especially identifying the norms and diversity in our "How do you want to die", cuisine and sexuality.
Our slogan: We are not loansharks
Supposingly to have a logo but none of us could draw a dolphin, even after refering to Carolyn's tattoo.

Results wise, I'm really very sad. I failed BMic when the paper was a piece of cake. CA was the cause of it.

Doesn't matter! My unhappiness won't stay for long.
2:27 PM

GC was okay.
Lecture was boring!
Tutorial was fun.
Miss Carolyn has kittens too!
Haha.

Came home for a nap with Wesley on my bed. I sang him to sleep, seriously you know! Ha. Met cousin for dinner.

That's all for today. How I wish there were no school. It's a torture to wake up reluctantly. :(
And one absence, just one will lead to a P grade.

MFBBT at 11pm later!
10:49 PM

Gc tutorial starts early tomorrow in the morning and I was afraid I would oversleep so slept for only 5 hours last night, thinking I could sleep early tonight but it was pointless. I just woke up from a 4 hours nap. Wesley's fault for sleeping so sweetly on my bed that tempted me to join him. Haha. His confinement is conditional now. He could only come out when he has done correctly.

Dad is hooked up on Animal Planet too. Actually he likes watching documentaries alot, perhaps due to genes, I like it too. It's educational what. That's what I always tell mum so she wouldn't say I'm addicted to TV.
Channel [V] Taiwan is one of my favourite channels. Infact I watch that channel much more than others. Only when it's airing MFBBT. I find the new batch of didis more talented than 6B. Some could really sing and their looks also win them. But of cause when it comes to humour, first batch of BBT is still the best. I still prefer the first batch! Watching channel V is so entertaining. We did not subscribe to that, it is free preview for the first few days and I'm so gonna subscribe to it.
There's Groomer Has It tonight at 11pm!

Gonna grab a bite now. My breakfast cum lunch cum dinner. Thanks to the nap that my meal time are so screwed up. Ha.
4:23 PM

I should have expected this months ago.
The litter kwitter has arrived. By right I should have no doubts about that because it is a pet shop rather than a seller. That's too good to be true because that pet shop is located at AMK and it's actually cash on delivery with no delivery charges. I must say they are genuine pet lovers.

Oh and, Wesley is being confined again. Poor nutty could only stare out into the window and whine when the loud thunders scare him but I do go in to accompany him. Who askes him to be so naughty and have to be confined! But my heart really hurt this morning la. Of cause dad isn't that heartless. He was sitting with him on the sofa when I came home tonight. Confinement isn't going to end this way, said by me! (Sounds like I'm the heartless one)

Got a new phone today. It's a 1 minute deal, like seriously fast. Also my first time buying a phone so hastily. I just spotted on this phone 2 days ago and usually I would take some time to check on the reviews and specifications. I did, but I didn't take long to consider because it looks so much nicer than in pictures! Nokia E63. Anyway I'm glad it's back to Nokia once again.

Die! Mum permed her hair and looks like her age now. I feel so sad for her, not being sarcastic. Really like maggie mee, caca!
3:28 PM

I ordered a litter kwitter and it will be delivered tomorrow! It costs only $90. Luckily I did not order from PLC which cost $149.
Cheap stuffs make me kinda worried too. Hopefully it's not a scam.

A plate fell, hit my head and it didn't break. It was glass for goodness sake. But of cause it left me feeling giddy and painful. Haha.
Damn.

Well, actually I have not started studying. I feel so slacked! And I almost forget it's 3 more days to GC tutorials. Hopefully it would be fun as imagined. I'm more looking forward to the trip which is 23 more days. GC presentation is on my birthday. What a gift. Haha.
Results are coming out too. I'm getting a little afraid that I might fail BMic because of practical test and quiz 2. =x
Please don't dampen my mood, results!
3:52 PM

I was so undecisive of which channels to watch last night. Animal Planet or National Geographic Channel, so I was switching back and forth and watched both Groomer Has it and Word's Dealiest Animals. I like Groomer Has It on Animal Planet! Their grooming theme was on long haired cats and it was so funny! One of the contestant, Malissa actually cut away the whiskers! The jokes they made were rude but funny.
I like Artist for his humour and he is a totally different guy from the other guys who made rude jokes against other contestants. Good to know that he won for season 1. So looking forward to season 2!
I'm going to search and watch season 1 online.

I like Big Cat Diary on Animal Planet too. Big felines. Wesley is just a little peanut compared to them. They eat buffaloes and he eats baby cockroach. Caught him doing that today and ewwwww!
12:25 AM

Maxed out my cash that I withdrew twice today. What a great shopping day and I'm so satisfied. No more unnecessary shopping as the rest of the money shall go to electronic gadgets. Went Chinatown today. Had lunch at Yum Cha. My second time there and the food still taste as great despite it was many years ago when I last visited.

Mum subscribed to SCV today. More shows to watch in the future but studying shall start tomorrow! :(
8:01 PM

Spent 4 hours baking today. Finally done with another section. Left with 4 more sections! The whole process can be seen at http://minicookery.blogspot.com/
The final products are damn not appetizing but the plain flour one tastes good. Wholemeal flour is too yucky but nevertheless, healthy.

Anyway Wesley did not go for ear-cleaning today as no groomer is available. I suspect he has ear mites.
Saw a ginger kitten in the vicinity which is just around the age and size of Wesley. Quite a distinctive look and cute. Dad asked me to catch it back but too bad it is very afraid of humans. I fed it but it couldn't stop meowing despite filling his stomach. Was it trying to tell me something? It seeked refuge at the back of an older affectionate grey tabby cat and got chased aggressively by him. Its trust goes to cats. However, that adult cat prefers humans. It seems very innocent and would approach every cat yet very wary of humans, was it finding its mum? But none of the cats welcome him.
So, in the end, I did not manage to take it home. I'm pretty sure if I managed to catch it and put up for adoption, it would be adopted fast and wouldn't live in the drain anymore.

To put it short,
Wesley almost got a friend!
12:40 AM

Got all the baking stuffs. Shall start tomorrow.

Bought a new and more alarm bell for Wesley. So much louder and no accident kicking next time. I've been accidentally kicking him when he suddenly rushes out. Now, he can never be missed in the house. There goes my 10 bucks of breakaway collar which I bought for nothing. Perhaps I'll use it next time when he's no longer a kitten and doesn't behave like a flying squirrel. Hope he would eventually calm down. Ha.
A loud bell is really necessary when he has the free run around the entire house.

His new bellbell.
1 big bell + 2 small bells = NOISY

It's really hard on my ears when he gets high on his own.

Laundry basket, his self-declared second bed.


My good boy decided to be manja these few days. He really watches TV, no kidding. I guess his favourite would be Planet's Funniest Animals Videos. I switched it on for him and he really watched it. He's starting to become a 跟屁虫 too but not as serious as Phoebe. She wouldn't spare even if we are going to toilet.
Might be bringing him to clean his ears which I call it a shit dump at PLC tomorrow. If I could manage to make an appointment that is. Let's see what would his silly reaction be during ear-cleaning. I always fail to help him clean because he would twitch like mad.

And I realised Felix is a very old cat. I rubbed his chin today, he was so shiok till he opened his mouth and revealed his teeth. He's even older than Frankiestein!
Frankiestein is just big size but he is not that old, I suppose. He no longer hisses at Wesley but just ignore.
11:08 PM

Chinatown plan is backfired. Probably some other day. At home playing with Wesley instead then went to eat ice-cream in the evening with cousin.

Might be going to Poon Huat tomorrow to get stuffs for my food portfolio. Deadline for that section is actually 16th March but I don't want to get it rushed last minute and this will be used for future teaching so I want it to be perfect. I'm not a perfectionist but sometimes there are things which I really want to do well in. I may be easily contented with many things in my life but I would definately want to be a perfect teacher in the future. So, that is really my ambition and not because of other benefits that draw me into this course. (Whatever you say if I don't look like it, ha.)
Furthermore, deadline for the whole portfolio is earlier due to GC trip. You'll never end if you never start. Time flies and will be gone before you know it.
Not to mention I still have to study for FC supp, GC tutorials from the 9th March and get stuffs for GC trip. Oh., Week 0 orientation too. All within 2 months of holidays. I can't imagine how much time I am left to do my own stuffs, let alone celebrating my birthday.
Been slacking my days off for the past few days and no more of that.
Start afresh tomorrow!

Going to find Wesley now to make sure that little nut behaves in the house. He always tend to forget all the rules when he has free run till I have to confine him. I really don't want to do that but it's better to be safe than sorry. Ha.
7:51 PM

It is almost 5am. I've just finished doing up my food assignment's blog. Finallyyyy. I think I've spent too much effort in doing so nicely which isn't very much needed. Ha, but I like it. More than my personal blog.

Today was a great shopping day. Lunched at a Japanese restaurant at Bugis. Can't remember what is the name. The prices are very reasonable especially for desserts with great ambience. So returning back next time. Then bought some snacks and kueh home for mum because she says I dote on Wesley more. Cousin is "snoring" behind me now. Haha!! Right, stayover again. Tomorrow is another shopping day. Going to Chinatown.

Alright, I better join that snoring pig! (:
4:51 AM
