minds cip

hello once again.
i'm sad to say i haven't blogged in such a long time,
becauase i have simply lost interest in coming online.
i'm serious! i have absolutely no idea what's wrong with me.
then i go around surfing the web for other of my fav blogs
only to realise that they've already blogged up to 5 new entries.
shows how lag i am.

today 0720 went to minds for cip.
we were split into 4 different groups, i was under the cooking section!
together with shanyi and cassandra.
we were going to make sushi!!!
its damn cool okay, i never knew sushi would be that easy to make!
xy cooked the rice part, which i thought was the hardest,
the other ingredients like cucumber, crabstick and egg
were pretty easy.

the rolling part was the best!!!
i did it right on the first go!
but it was pretty hard to communicate with the residents there,
half the time i felt like i was talking to myself
cos they simply lose interest after a while.
well, can't blame them, i have a boring voice..
which is why i cann never be a teacher,
cos i'll make all my students fall asleep,
andd then i'll have to yell at them to get up
when its not even their own fault that they fell asleep.
or on the other hand, i would actually just let them do what they wish,
cos that's wad i always HOPE AND PRAY teachers will say to us.
"alright students. today lessons will be cancelled as i cann see you are all tired after a long day in school and there's simply no point to teach. please use this one hour to do whatever you wish.andd keep ur voices down as well, i'm trying to get some sleep myself."
fat hope.

whoops digressing too much!
okay, but finally, everyone in my group managed to make pretty good sushi.
what can i say, we're naturals! =D

after that we went down for part 2 of the programme,
which was activities to make them move about and basically, get some exercise.
we played blow wind blow and this obstacle course thingyy.
pretty fun actually, but i was already kinda tired,
so all i wanted to do was just sit down.
finally the games ended and we had to go back up to continue clearing up in the cooking area.
damn i hate clearing up.
but we managed to clear it rather quickly before heading down for debriefing
which took a much faster time than i expected.
the last time we took close to an hour,
this time it was just 20 mins.

cip at minds was really quite meaningful.
i never done this kinda stuff before, zero.
so its my first time interacting with the intellectually disabled people.
just makes you feel so lucky ur normal,
and able to function well.
beats comparing myself with people like... amanda bynes, jessica alba etc etc.
those are more like aliens sent from the planet of perfect-and-flawless-women.
i'm human from planet earth. =D

i wouldn't mind going to help out again during the holidays,
but i'd choose SPCA over MINDS.
i'm sorry but its just preferences i guess.
i know the MINDS residents probably needs more attention cos half the singapore population of youngsters are already willing to help out the little dogs and cats at SPCA,
but i'm one of the half who really would like to help out animals instead.
great, now i feel so guilty.

anyways, went for dinner later on at j8.
we had yoshinoya! salmon bowl rocks!~
after dinner we went to walk walk,
sy went to get her bday card for her fren at precious thots.
sorry for e wrong recommedation man,
that place was daylight robbery...
denn it was my turn to shop for nat's present,
but the bigbig tortoise was outta stock!
ohwells, in the end we ended up in action city
where she bought her mom's bdayy present,
andd i ended up buying some really cool chocolate-related accessories.
i now am the proud owner of an oreo-cookie-looking mirror!
(i wann the pencil case too. guess my intuition was wrong)
nvm i can always buy another one.

bleahhh, feeling so sleepy now.
drained off all my energy as well.. nitenites people.

ps. i love you

omg. this is far worse than getting a hangover.
i just completed reading ps. i love you.
i had other plans for my afternoon such as completing my tutorials so that i wouldn't have to rush through it tonight.
but i gave up after the 2nd question andd took out the book to read.
big mistake.
i didn't stop all the way until now.
which is close to 2 hours.
OHGAWD this is even sadder than a walk to remember.
all the times she remembered Gerry,
how much she loved him and how devastated she was for him.
i was wrong when i thought this book wouldn't make me cry.

until 3/4 of the book,i was still doing fine.
sure, it did tug at my heartstrings abit,
but i wasn't gonna cry.
until the one part where she descriptively described her pain,
her loss of Gerry, how she'd really trade ANYTHING and everything she had in the world just to have him back.
that did it.
i started crying like crazy!
its jus SO SAD!
how on earth can anyone imagine such a sad thing to happen?

and now, i'm totally moodless to do anything.
its just like the time i watched secret and although i know it was a happy ending,
it was still happily sad..
i had this weird 'hangover' after the show where i kept listening to that theme song,
'bu neng shuo de mi mi' andd i just kept tearing silently.
it went on for 4 days that time,
during which i didn't have any mood to do anything.
i'm getting the exact same 'hangover' again!
except this time, it may be worse.

i dun want Gerry to die.
if Gerry didn't die, Holly wouldn't be so damn devastated.
i wouldn't be reading about how much she loved gerry,
andd how he so thoughtfully left behind a whole year of hand-written msgs
just to tide her through the toughest time of her life.
denn i wouldn't be so sad reading their story right?

denn again, stories like this makes you cherish the people around you more.
andd it helps me see that something so wonderful exists in this world.
the love between holly and gerry is simply... fictional!
its too perfect.
how could any girl love a guy so much?
andd how could any guy love a girl so selflessly.
but i'm sure such strong love do exist,
as in the case of kq and glen =D

enough about it, now i gotta watch southpark
to get my mood up again or i'm gonna get it frm ms sim for not completing my tutorials.
I am sooooo tempted to watch ps. i love you on tudou now!
i jus wanna watch it again and again,
i dun mind the crying part.
its just too sweet.

oh yes, today is ying jie's 18th birthday!
happy birthday!!!!
18 is practically the legal age,
andd we presented yj with her 18th birthday present of vodka with 7-up(raspberry)
but i thinkk the vodka was wayy to strong,
so she didn't finish the entire cup on her own.
in the end,
shanyi, me and eunice ended up downing most of it.
shanyi practically walked zig-zaggedly to the bus stop!
hahahaha jkjk. she wasn't drunkk la.
her jiu liang power one leh.
i was feeling so sleepy in the bus,
i even considered sleeping all the way till the bus reached the terminal,
denn take another bus back to cg.
but considering the fact that my bed was so much more comfortable,
i forced myself to stay awake.
in the end when i got home and took a shower,
all the sleepiness was gone.
i was so alert and ready to do my homework,
but it has all been ruined by the book.

ohwells, tmr's a friday.
i hate fridays.

semi-blind.

who would've expected such a random thing to happen.
just as i stepped out of the shower this morning,
i stepped onto the floor mat when i heard this sickening crunch
beneath my huge gigantic feet.
the first thing that went through my mind was
'who has been eating those cheapo sushi in the toilet'
cos i thought it sounded very much like those mini plastic squarish boxes.

after peering to the ground for about a minute.
i finally realised.
shit.
i had stepped on my glasses which had unknowingly fell onto the floor.
andd sadly, my beloved glasses now has a crack down the middle on the right glass.
not only that, its also weirdly distorted.
yeahh i hate wearing glasses,
but my glasses has served me faithfully for the past two years.
now i understand how harry felt when the whomping willows smashed up his broomstick.
except this time it wasn't some violent tree that smashed my glasses,
it was me! my own big huge gigantic feet.
grrr... cann i be any more clumsier.
moral of the story: NEVER bring ur glasses into the toilet with you.

thanks to that, i'm also now partially blind.
no glasses to wear.
my contacts are already removed.
great. i still wanna watch online movie one leh. ):
nvm. maybe now my mom will agree to get me those nerdy specs.
hahahs. although they really dun suit me thanks to my horrendous eye bags,
i still want them badly cos jiro wears them too!
did you know: jiro wear specs one?
but very low degree.
i only realised it today..lousy me..
hahahs.
while i was watching a game show featuring him,
he suddenly whipped out his nerdy specs *TADAAAA*
and said he needed them so he could see things better.
*CUTE! ^.^ *

ahhh super sianned.
teacher bombarded us with another chem test next week.
no energy alr...
can't wait for next weekend.
this weekend like so busy,
no time to relax.
great..my hair still isn't dry yet.
hard to use my com without glasses.
have to squint alot.
i know i know..
its bad for my eyesight.
but what choice do i have?

toodles-

[[ at the beginning with youuuu` ]]]

i spent my entire month's pocket money alr!!!!
HOW ON EARTH????
okay i may have overspent during the weekends but...
OMG! its only the 12th of this month!!!!
2 more weeks to go...
i know i shouldn't have idolised becky bloomwood.
that's the problem when you have a shopaholic as your idol,
u tend to WANT to follow your idol.
*sobs*
no wonder my dad didn't want to help me apply for a credit card.
i'll be the youngest ever to clock an overdraft in my family!

anyways, i haven't blogged for so long
i thinkk fungi and moss are starting to grow at my blog.
must be after my block tests denn i didn't blogg alr.
okays, my results were pretty shitty.
but i guess i deserved it for not studying that hard.

on thus, went out with STYLE! =DD
so happy i cann finally meet her again!
style, i hope u like ur present,
but sorry the picture quality so lousy!! ):
denn we went to fish&co. to eat.
style was so nice, she treated me to lunch!
thanks style! i loved it alot alot!
next time my turn okays?
we talked alot and laughed alot also.
i told her alot of the things she's been missing,
andd she told me alot of things as well.
we talked on and on until we were late for de show.

went to watch run, papa, run.
not a bad show!
was better than wad i expected.
but i was seriously shocked at how dangerous the world of gangsters were.
eeks why so scary one. i dun like.
anyways outing with style really rocks!
can't wait to go out with you again, style!!
andd i'm happy for u and glen!
now school will be SO MUCH MORE FUN! xD

just yesterday, i got back my pw results.
omgg i was so nervous that i couldn't sleep well the night before.
andd i was really cranky as well.
yx got back her results during my physics lecture
which was around 10+ in the morning.
i had to wait till 1 plus.
denn along the way, heard alot of stuff like
'AJ lowest grade is C", or "hwa chong 98% A"
alot alot of As.
as for nanyang? 17% As -.-
the whole day i was hoping and praying
'let me get B let me get B let me get B..'
i was in a state of confusion when mr lau read out our results one by one.
"chan di.. B"
.
.
.
"peiting.. B"
at that moment, i was thinking,
"dammit he's gonna say vivienne C. i know he's gonna say C"
"vivienne.. B"
"OH SHIT HE SAID B! HE SAID I GOT B!!!
or is it my own imagination?
i imagined him saying B.
no i really got a B!
i dun thinkk i've ever felt so relieved apart from the time i got my o levels results.
but the mood was rather tense so nobody said anything about their grades.
kimberly was the only one who got A, congrats to her!!
she did 0720 proud =D
my entire group got Bs, so i was pretty glad for everyone.
although some really didn't deserve the grades they got.
dun worry, i'm sure you guys will do better for ur more impt subjects!

this week has been really hectic.
yesterday our school had its very first synergy, nanyang's got talent.
well, there was this one handsome guy there.
nathanial, the project superstar guy.
his nickname is xiao lv dou
his voice also very nice.
hengg got leon to take very nice shots of him on stage!
oops shit my com is running low on batt..
