Wednesday, August 29, 2007

it was a quiett birthday, just 7am mass, cafe cartel bfast, newyork newyork lunch, and swensens dinner.. PLUS slp in between meals.. ultimate piggy day, but at least i didnt mug in the end HAHA!

(wth i havent touched my work since last wed.. i totally need to read up on BGS i hope i complete it by today =X)

anw group photo of THE SPECIAL ONES =DD:

i still have the SUPER amusing "climb the guava tree and pee on youself" recording by darling vera in my hp HAHAHA.. but i dont really dare to put it as my ring tone.. so unglam la please! hahaha..

i cant decide which cca im gg to join/will be able to get in.. but i have semi-formed backup plans if i dont get into whatever cca hehe =D.. that's the result of not mugging.. you start planning out such random stuff HAHA!

im specially leaving my house for fides tmr night la :).. i secretly feel proud of myself HAHA!! then there's impressmu on thur nite, chiangmai ocip talk on fri aftnn, prob followed by outing with THE SPECIAL ONES again =), and then quite a packed saturday full of school activities!

smu is really becoming my 2nd home.. if i get into indancity, i'll be in sch even on sundays! haha..

today (friday) was cca day.

i shall tally the ccas that i signed up for HAHA (not in order of preference):

1. wakeboarding
2. indancity
3. caderas latinas
4. eurhythmix
5. flare (emphasise: GYMNASTICS WING)
6. samba masala
7. bizcom
8. broadcast & entertainment (smube)
9. fides
10. strategica

and ALSO, im kinda considering the following but didnt sign up hahaha:

- economics society (=X)
- red cross (theyre doing ocip to vietnam!!)
- gourmet club (i wasnt really willing to pay $10 membership fee upfront =X)

i have NO IDEA what ccas i'll end up joining, but im prob dropping strategica and wakeboarding out of the above 13 ccas first haha.. cos firstly, clement was the one who helped me randomly sign up for wakeboarding -_-, and strategica is cos....... aiyah im mean and horrible la haha..

but im more or less gg to commit myself to indancity, so that means practices are on weds and suns, sooooo i kinda cant make it for the weekly prayer mtgs with fides anm =X..

i'll still randomly go for the other dance + samba masala auditions though, provided i can make it that is, and if i get in then see how la hahaha.. as usual, procrastination is my forte hehe!!

overall, i didnt like cca day tho.. i was there for too long, my bag was freaking heavy, and the noice got on my nerves.. and i was still being internally grouchy and irritable today so that didnt help either.. they had some cool vouchers in the goodie bag though =D!

and btw, i finally participated during my last class for the week.. let's hope i can bring that kinda class-participation-spirit along with me to monday's creative thinking! i honestly honestly am in dire need to talk, esp for ct class =X!

im also desperately in need of a locker.. one more wk of lugging my laptop in my slingbag, and my shoulders will either be lopsided, or just break under the pressure!! (my mum doesnt want me to carry the HEAVYLICIOUS laptop with my hands cos she's think i'll lose it -_-.. ROAR.) rent-a-locker is so inefficient la.. but meanwhile i shall attempt to patiently await for ten working days from 17/08 to pass haha..

i predict that next wk is gonna be super packed with activities, with all the cca auditions, trials and orientations.. not to mention all the readings i have to go through before each class, plus assignments and getting started on projects.. and next week is only WEEK 2 OF SCH laaa...............

i feel great and so lovedd aft mtg up with THE SPECIAL ONES tonight =DD; namely michiefishie, krystle-lovey-dovey, cat-meow-meow, vera-talk-alot-and-quickly and random-stef :))..

though it was a very simple bday celeb at carl's junior, i just felt so at ease, i could talk about ANYTHING on my mind, i could voice out the most random comments ever, i didnt need to bother about sounding stupid or no link, and there wasnt a single ounce of "empty feeling" at all!

actually what i meant in the 3rd last para of the previous entry was that, actually since the start of sch, somehow ive been feeling some kinda "empty feeling", as though sth was missing in my life, as cliche as it may sound.. (and NO it's not cos i dont have a bf -_-)

the initial thought was that i didnt have any friends, but on deeper thought, i kinda DO have alot friends (just based on MY measurements), and i think im really fortunate to be able to have friends in every class that im preassigned to this sem :).. plus friends who will call aft lesson, or the day before to arrange lunch dates, or just to hang out etc.. so ya, im not a lonely outcast, even since the first day of school =D!

(even then, i think ive kinda passed the stage where i feel like a loser whenever im alone in sch, though that's another story altogether haha)

but somehow, i still feel kinda.. detached? i cant really explain it aptly.. also, since the start of school, i think ive become internally more unaccepting and critical of pple ive met etc =X.. maybe i was alr like that during my ultra long hols, but i wouldnt know, since i barely met many new pple during the hols haha..

and by saying "more unaccepting and critical", I MEAN IT. if you were there during the dinner, i did MEGA bitching la, seriously.

as far-fetched as it may sound, a part of me feels that maybe it's cos im kinda unholy now, like previously i used to pray for virtues like patience, being tolerant, accepting etc, but i dont do it anm haha =X.. but then again aft watching Evan Almighty that day, what struck me the most was that God said that He gives us opportunities to nurture the virtues that we pray for, instead of immediately bestowing it on us.. haha okay nvm that was random, whateverly haha..

so ANW, i tried to decipher where this "empty feeling" was coming from.. and aft that fantastic and heartwarming dinner with THE SPECIAL ONES, i think it's a feeling among us that i dont experience in smu, and that's prob what's lacking! i know i sound kinda paranoid cos aft all it's only the first wk of school, but the prob is i think it's not really sth where time will help matters..

there's this thing about circumstantial friendship, and all my life up till jc i could nv understand how pple could survive purely on such friendships, and i guess it has nv occured to me to put myself under that category, cos i dont exactly agree with it.. but ALAS! i think im acting just like that now.. and the feeling sucks, cos i kinda dont have a desire to thoroughly get to know and be true friends with pple, and that seriously horrifies me!! im quite disgusted with myself as a matter of fact, leaving me feeling so contradictory and lost..

it's not as serious as it sounds la, but im not exaggerating.. it didnt feel like that in rj la! though i couldnt adapt well initially.. this time smu just doesnt feel like a sch =X.. for now at least.. well i hope things will get better eh?

and on another random note, honestly, i dont mind pple suaning me to provide entertainment for the friends arnd, but sometimes, excessive suaning or everyone suanning about diff things throughout the day is just too much to bear you know?? just makes me feel so stupid, that im so easily manipulated and i feel like a downright idiot esp when each time the suannings are in front of different random strangers.. SUCKS BIG TIME OKAY so yes, enough. please.

but NO WORRIES! the above angsty feelings will disappear/be hidden by tmr morning! hehe!!

im just so totally in love with THE SPECIAL ONES now :)... awww biggg hugs haha.. and i love all my other goodie friends out there too! muacks!!

(btw i am soooo dead la.. it's like 1.39am and i have 830am class tmr, but my hair is still wet! full blown smuggers need to slp early to have sufficient energy to be enthusiastic and attentive in class!! hehe!)

im in the sch library now :D.. but im dying of boredom cos i have nth to do =(..

that's because i was a full-blown mugger yest HAHA.. i did my AS hw, read up for FRIDAY'S lesson and read the national day rally speech for today's lesson!! now i can only wait for a senior to sell me his Business, Govt and Society textbook before i can read chapter 1 for next wk's quiz..

haha IM A SMUGGER YAY I LIKE =D!

anw, my first lesson as a smu student SUCKED BADLY. most students talking just to get class participation points, having a graded group project and getting 3rd last in class.. sheesh. i was honestly damn stressed, demoralised and in shock that it was so competitive.. but luckily the classes aft that were more "normal" in a way..

anw since the last time i blogged, i attended fides camp, went for my virgin gym experience (AND I CYCLED FOR 18KM =D), had ftb og outing at Mind Cafe, visited michiefishie at her ntu hostel, went to bugis to shop (bought 3 bottoms and a belt ohmymama), attended convocation, had fides gathering aft tt, had informal salsa lesson by douglas in the gym (and cycled for 3km as well), and bought my CRUMPLER SCHOOLBAG :))..

i would wanna write everything in detail but then.... im lazy.. haha..

here's a picture of our fides gathering though..


haha theyre seriously a bunch of lammmmme-os haha :)

i havent decided whether i like school yet though.. well it's kinda complicated la i also dunno..

haiya, very lazy to blog alr.. AT LEAST I UPDATED RIGHT? hehe..

and jeljel: HAVE FUN IN USA I'LL MISS YA BABE =(!

woots ive been going out everyday this wk haha..

watched rush hour 3 on wed!! the show was not bad but i think the most hilarious part of the movies were the bloopers at the end haha.. and i finally bought my heels for convocation whee~ sponsored somemore muahaha..

went for lunch with krystle and michelle today yesterday!! haha andd i bought 2 belts and 4 ankle socks hahaha.. im like some shopping machine that nv stops ohmymama..

reached home in the aftnn, intending to watch ndp on tv, but ended up being dragged by my parents to the padang -_-.. it was a horrific experience cos THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE THERE! the so-called big screen was blocked by pple's butts cos selfish pple just refuse to sit down -_-.. it's quite amusing (though irritating at the same time) to constantly hear pple shouting "OEI SIT DOWN OEI SIT DOWN LARRRRRH"

quite cool to watch the fireworks live though :).. although they had limited variety compared to the fireworks festival last year, singapore really spent a hell lot of money on this fireworks display man!! at one point the sky was so smoky you could barely see the display clearly haha..

nevertheless, I LOVE SINGAPORE MUCHLY :D!!! there's no place i'ld rather be, honestly from the bottom of my heart!

anw, onto more random stuff, I WAS DEPRESSED AND DEVASTATED AND HORRIFIED for about an hour just now!!

well, when i soft rebonded my hair on tuesday, the guy said that i couldnt wash my hair for two days, so when i finally washed my hair just now OMG the hair chemical smell was overwhelming!! over the past two days the smell was fading but it came back in FULL FORCE once i wet my hair..

then i started panicking like mad, cos i have camp tmr, and what if i get outcasted cos i got smelly hair!!! OMG i so do not want sucha gross first impression: "smelly hair girl" OMGOMGOMG..

lucky what snail said came truee!! it's only when the hair is wet that the smell comes out.. so aft about an hour, the smell is almost not there anm PHEWW.. i hope like what she says, the smell isnt gonna be so bad anm when i wash it the 2nd time tmr =X.. SO SCARY LA i got sucha rude shock!!

okay bimbo time is over hahaha.. i just needed to randomly rant about that :)..

FIDES CAMP tmr! i hope it's enjoyable and pple there are friendly and nice and i make friends and it is not too holy and i dont get scared =X.. but i feel kinda sad that it's the last camp that i'll be attending, cos it signifies the "end" of smu orientation =(.. i dont want school to officially start, i wish i could just have camps forever and just be making friends forever haha :D..

i have quite an empty week ahead, who wants to go shopping with meeeeee haha!! im gg to finally get my crumpler and i want more bottoms wheee!! i also cant wait for evan almighty and ratatouille to be out :DD..

and i also wanna check out the smu gym to work out YO YO! anything but RUN thank you very much hahaha.. KRYSTLE rem to help me check if they have skipping ropes!! i have a sudden desire to skip and hop and jump arnd hahaha.. and i wanna work out my flabby arms :)).. smu gym is COOL and HAPPENING wheeee~

ive just officially written out my expenses list and im SAD SAD SAD =(!!

i dont think i can get all the stuff on my shopping list cos i have a lack of funds.. minus the cost of my crumpler schoolbag, i only have $120 to last me till i get my pocket money on the first day of sch SHITTT!! i still wanna buy alot alot alot alot of things, not to mention paying for food when im out shopping =X!!

im so glad that smu econs randomly gave each of us a 1GB thumbdrive whee~!! at least there's one item off my shopping list hoho!

and dont secretly think that im over-exaggerating!! cos since sun (and that was only like two days ago), ive spent $339.15.

OMG.

okay but i shall not harp on the final exact amount of money that im spending over these few days, cos im planning not to go shopping at all when school starts! i will stay in sch with my mugging cliques and study very very hard! meli is going to be a renewed person WATCH OUT! hahaha :D

(but that's assuming that i can eventually find mugging cliques haha.. not to worry though! cat krystle and huiling all agree to mug with me should i be outcasted and have no new friends in my school aww so sweet right :D?)

anw, yest morn was spent at smu for academic briefing, followed by randoming arnd in the aftnn with oikos og ppl :).. i think it's fantastic that practically all the uni guys now can drive!! wheee such a joy to be driven from plaza sing, to raffles city, then to somerset hahaha!

hung out + shopped with snail and huiling aft that! yay i love them so much and im really gonna miss snail alot when she leaves in sept =(.. it's rare to find pple whom you can click so well with and talk about the most random things ever hahaha!!

OH! and we bought donutfactory donuts WOOHOO how cool are we?!! i must say that the donuts taste not bad, totally worth the waiting time (which btw, was only about 8mins HAHAHA)

i spent 3.5 hours in chapter 2 bugis with lulu today.. OHMYMAMA. i finally soft rebonded + moisture treatment + cut my hair today, but please dont ask me how much it cost THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

cant wait to go back to bugis to thoroughly comb the area tmr :D.. that's if miss krystle can make it haha! either that or i shall be cheapo and go to amk hub with my mum to get a pair of toe covered black heels for convocation, at least it'll be "sponsored" hehe!

if you were wondering, i didnt get my crumpler bag yest as planned cos IM A CHEAPO BANANA! welllll i heard that apple card holders get 10% discount so im patiently waiting for emma to go and borrow the card haha! aft all, i can eat two decent meals with $16 la wahlao so might as well right!

okay i know this is sucha senseless entry full of rambling, and im sorry if the ntu or nus pple are jealous of me haha.. HOPE SCHOOL HAS BEEN FUN SO FAR FOR ALL OF YALL :))!!

haha yayy ive finally gotten down to blogging :)..

ftb was from mon to wed and honestly initially i wasnt really looking forward to it cos most of the seniors or other freshies who have attended it didnt like it.. BUT I QUITE ENJOYED IT :D!

(pple attending run 4 are not encouraged to cont reading this entry haha)

im glad to be the group i was in!! it wasnt overly enthu, there were stoning moments (DUH our group identity was THE STONERS haha!), we tried to complete the activities the best we could, plus everyone helped :).. not to mention that we had two gossipy clowns who went especially high and mad at night AHEMjosiahandclementAHEM.

im also really glad that loveydovey krystle was in my group whee~ haha we could share our innermost thoughts, stuff like our faci's legs were WHOAH damn hawt and absolutely perfect - perfect skin tone, perfect muscle build, not too bony - and also errr, other meaner and more evil thoughts HAHA.. i simply just love ya babe :D :D!!

i liked the first day activities the most, esp cos our very first activity was tunnelling :))!! actually thinking back, i cant specifically say what's so fun about groping arnd in the dark looking for stuff to shade and going through obstacles, BUT I REALLY REALLY LOVED THIS ACTIVITY!! haha the guys went before us and they got lost at some point hahaha quite amusing.. and then aft that they kept asking us if we felt their sweat perspiration on the floor like EEWS.. not to mention that the helmets that we wore were EEWS too but nvm shant elaborate on that haha..

the most memorable activity during the second day was rafting! haha although i couldnt help out much in the building of the raft, it felt great bringing out sucha perfect raft out to sea.. we could even u-turn and make our own way back to shore, which is a fantastic accomplishment relative to the other groups haha :)..

the other activities on the second day were kinda frustrating though.. we couldnt complete the spiderweb and geometry code thingy =(.. but KUDOS to all the guys in my group WOOHOO! they had to carry almost every girl out of the spider web, including "heavy me" (as quoted from larry =( sobsob).. and IM SORRY that i was the person who touched the string at our last attempt =X.. haha yall shouldve seen the hole that i was in omg.. I COULDNT MOVE AN INCH AT ALL and i felt so claustrophobic cos i had to stay in that position for the longest time ever omg haha..

campfire on the second night was.... not really fun but the faci's item was quite entertaining hahaha i laughed like MAD!! there was a short mambo night aft that, but didnt really enjoy it till ghostbuster emerged HAHAHA!! pity that was the last song, cos our group was just getting warmed up and having the time of our lives hehe! oops and pls forgive us for being mean =X..

on the last day, it was the final challenge! haha nothing much to say about that, except that though i felt embarrassed at one point, the team's encouragement was very heartwarming :).. i truly felt the loveee man haha aww..

oh, but the food SUCKS and it is not cool when the toilet gets clogged and we had to bathe in ankle deep dirty water EEWS.

haha i learnt something about myself during the past two camps.. i cant sustain a constant energy level throughout the camp, like i cant be excited and enthusiastic for ALL the activities.. but i havent decided whether it's just me, the activities, or the general energy level of the group haha.. my brain TOTALLY shut off during the police-thief-family IQ game! i couldnt even process whether the propsed plans were feasible or not la!!

AT LEAST during ftb, i think i wasnt a loser yay! other than occasionally tripping over a tent leg or two, and the initial noob-ish attitude when playing icebreakers, i cant rem any other embarrassing stuff that i did :)..

my left knee looks damn ugly now cos it has THREE blueblacks (one from oikos, two from ftb), FOUR cuts (from crawling on the soapy canvas), ONE skin graze (from teaching my bro standing broad jump -_-), and one big old scar (from nj times).. and my left hip has two small bruises (prob from tunnelling) it looks like i got bitten by a vampire hahaha!

haha IM SUCHA NOOB so many bruises -_-!!

too bad i dont have any photos =(.. my faci had a camera but i dont think i'll be able to get photos from her anytime soon so ahh wells..

so in conclusion, as you prob can tell from my long description of the camp, i had a great time! though currently i dont have any intention of faci-ing for next yr's ftb haha..

***

i have compiled a list of things that i need/want to get!! and one of the items on the list include a new school bag that can fit my laptop and alot of other things :)..

should i get this crumpler bagggg??

okay i know crumpler is very common, but i rarely see pple carrying this design hehe! and ive been wanting to get a crumpler bag for the longest time ever!!

only prob is that it's $163 =X.. sighh.. but i like that bag!! krystle says it's very me hahaha :D..

and should i should i should i straighten (aka a milder treatment than rebonding) my hair?? im super halfhearted and scared that my hair sticks to my head and i look weird and school's starting alr but my current hair quality is really like SHIT so i dunno what to doooo!! HOW SNAIL?? hair date on tues???

ohya and btw, hair straightening + cut is $149 before 15% discount =X.. haha MONEY PLEASE DROP FROM THE SKY NOW poor meli is going to be pok if she eventually buys everything on her shopping list haha!!
