I've been coughing throughout the day and I think most probably my lungs are blown out.
Anw.
I FEEL LIKE GOING TO THE ARCADE FOR THE BBALL SHOOTING GAME!!
Chua Xinfang, Elaine Lim, Ong Ting Yan, you guys got the hint?haha
esp. the Suntec's one and during weekdays when there's not many ppl.
Sheng Shiong-ed was fun.
Just that my brother was way too irritating and ran here and there, in the end I had to look for him all the time instead of looking at the CNY items.
saw WeiShiong( shld be. from 4L1.) and Jiajing at there.
They are working there.
Alright. I'm gg off to watch 霹雳MIT.
I have not finished it yet. ¶ 8:31 PM 0 Comments
Shopping with my sister can be one of the best/ scariest things in the world.
It all depends on her mood.
And hence, the 2 of us went Far east-Bugis street to get our CNY items.
And WE DID NOT LEAVE EMPTY-HANDED.
I've burned a big hole out of my pocket as my sis has not gotten her pay.
I PAID FOR EVERYTHING!
but I believe she will be paying me back soon=)
bought my specs=)
got my heels=)
and will be getting this in a few days.
P.S. not the females. but the item on their hand.
though I know that this phone has no WIFI...unlike Sony Ericsson G705( which I really really like!)....but its really time I GET A DECENT PHONE for myself!!!
I can see my pay vanishing into thin air.
will be getting my school shoes soon.
OMG. I've been like spending too much!!!
My pay is around over 1K.....and I have to spend for my CNY clothes..phone...specs...school shoes...school bag...AND BEING A REALLY FILIAL DAUGHTER...I GAVE MY MOM $128 this year.(*though I gave my mom around $300 last year)
But getting a job means being financially independent.=)

Our oral skills come in handy now!!!
The expressions are sufficient enough to tell us what the characters are feeling.
NO WORDS ARE NECESSARY.

No Defence - Lucie Silvas ¶ 11:42 PM 0 Comments
FINALLY, I COME TO MY DECISION.
NATIONAL JC (SCIENCE)
ANDERSON JC (SCIENCE)
PIONEER JC (SCIENCE)
ANGLO-CHINESE JC (SCIENCE)
JURONG JC ( SCIENCE)
NGEE ANN ( PHARMACY)
SINGAPORE POLY ( BIOMEDICAL)
NGEE ANN ( BIOMEDICAL)
NGEE ANN ( TOURISM & RESORT)
SINGAPORE POLY ( TOURISM & RESORT)
With heart pulsating and fingers trembling, I did the registration with trepidation as I know how grave it is if I entered the wrong thing, MY FUTURE IS AT STAKE!
I checked for more than 3 times for the course codes just in case of some stupid mistakes that will end me up in great trouble.
I would like to thank these ppl who gave me advice regarding the registration:
ELAINE LIM: THANKS FOR TELLING ME SOME THING BETWEEN NJC AND AJC.
MY SIS: I called her when she's working!!! and asked her whether I shld put AJC or NJC as first choice. She told me about her opinions lah. AND HENCE, I am more affirmed by what choice I shld get bah.
BASICALLY, I AM JUST SO LOST AND CONFUSED OF WHETHER I SHLD PUT AJC/ NJC as my first choice.
I LOVE AJC TO THE CORE.
I LOVE THE "FEEL" AJC GIVES ME.
WHEREAS NJC, I am so ...afraid... of it.
I don't feel that attachment to that.
HOWEVER, regarding location, NJC is nearer.
regarding degree of mugger-ness, both are the same.
regarding degree of freedom and independence given, NJC wins.
regarding quality of notes, NJC wins.
(thats what my sis told me)
And hence, I still remained with my original choice, which is NJC first, AJC second.
so maybe I'll leave everything to fate.
If I get admitted into NJC, I'll just accept it.
If I get admitted into AJC, I'll just accept it.
Are you swimming upstream in oceans of blue?
Do you feel like your sinking?
Are you sick of the rain after all you've been through?
Well I know what you're thinking
When you can't take it
You can make it
Sometime soon I know you'll see'
cause when your in you're darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower
whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong
Where taking each step one day at a time
You can't lose your spirit
Let live and let live forget and forgive
It's all how you see it
And just remember keep it together
Don't you know you're never alone
'cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower
whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on, and be strong
No you're not defeated
And soon you'll be smiling once again
Then you won't have to feel it
Let it go with the wind
Time passes us by
And know that you're allowed to cry
'cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower
whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong ¶ 1:29 PM 0 Comments
I am now considering to kick aside NJC as my first choice and put my hands tgt to invite AJC.
I need some affirmation. ¶ 1:13 AM 0 Comments
I apologize for the severe lack of photos recently, and hence I shall compensate a little now!!!
14.01.09 ( the 3 seniors' visit to co juniors!)
LET START WITH A SPASTIC FACE OF QING XI'S!!!
Kai Ting
Our really respected co conductor- MR SIM!!!
the practice....
CANDICE AND ME! 
WeiLing
the teachers!!! 
my beloved junior and current SL!!!
I am down with a terrible fever, a terrible headache, a terrible sore throat and a terrible flu(soon).
I hope that I will be perfectly alright before my shopping trip with my sis on Sunday and Monday, when I have to squeeeeeeeeeeze inside the hordes of crowd.\
I F E E L T E R R I B L E . ¶ 6:16 PM 0 Comments
No longer.
No longer.
I'm definite and sure.
SURE.
SURE.
SURE.
I've come to a decision to my first 5 choices for the schools/ courses I wanna choose.
1)NJC science stream
2)AJC science stream
3) PJC science stream
4) NP's pharmacy science
5) SP's biomedical science
I've also decided on my subject combination:
H2 subjects: Physics, Chem, Maths
H1: econs
I've also decided on my cca:
most probably guitar ensemble.
I'm thinking of sports such as squash to....
but SPORTS FOR REGINA LIM!!!!???
I'm just afraid that if...IF...IF i REALLY GET ADMITTED INTO njc, will I get really stressed like a madwoman?
Would I turn all lonely and selfish?
I mean its like people like Endrei, WeiLi, and Gladys etc are gg into NJC....
SO AM I REALLY GOING TO NJC?
no.no. no distractions pls. don't get sidetracked.
As compared, I really like AJC a lot a lot (despite the very old facilities and buildings lah!)
My sis said that its a mugger school.
I love muggers around me.
I would feel the heat and rush around me.
I need certain amount of stress and competition.
AJC's cut off for science stream is 8.
I'm 5.
I think I would not be that stressed in Anderson.
Moreover, the old buildings and facilities are not a problem to me.
My memories in BP have told me that I would still be able to study in a school with OLD BUILDINGS and poor ventilation......
So whats wrong with doing all that in another 2 years?
Hence, I feel totally fine if I did not get admitted into NJC.
AJC will be good for me.
Anw, photos will be up soon.
Many photos with me.
but I'm too lazy to post them.
I went back school ytd to visit my CO juniors.
My conductor discourages the 3 of us( candice, wei ling and me) to join co in JCs,
he thinks that its a waste of our abilities.
Anw, did I say that I had actually found a January job but I quit it after working there for six days?
Reason 1: I have to decide on my future.( lookign thru jcs...gg for open houses...yet I cnt apply for leave)
Reason 2: enjoy my holiday
Reason 3: go out with family and friends.( I CNT EVEN APPLY FOR LEAVE FOR MY CLASS CHALET!)
AND! I DID NOT REGRET MY DECISION as I believe afterall, future+family+friends weigh more than money+bah kwa
EDIT/ I signed up for A square prgram. I am sick with a terrible sore throat
Lost Without You - Delta Goodrem
I know I can be a little stubborn sometimes (I say)
A little righteous and too proud
I just wanna find a way to compromise
Cause I believe we can work things out
I thought that I had all the answers never givin in
but baby since you've gone
I admit I was wrong
All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
how am I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side
if we ever say we'd never be together in the end you wave goodbye
dunno what I'd do im lost without you
I keep trying to find my way and
all I know is im lost without you
I keep trying to face the day I'm lost without you
How am I ever gonna get rid of these blurs
baby I'm so lonely all the time
everywhere I go I get so confused
your the only thing thats on my mind
On my bed so cold at night
I miss you more each day
only you can make it right
no I'm not too proud to say
All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
how am I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side
if we ever say we'd never be together in the end you wave goodbye
dunno what I'd do I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way and
all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day I'm lost without you
If I could only hold you now make the pain just go away
can't stop the tears from running down my face (ho)
All I know is I'm lost without you I'm not gonna lie
how am I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side if we ever say we'd never be together in the end you wave goodbye
dunno what I'd do
I'm lost without you

all I know is im lost without you
I keep trying to face the day an
all I know is I'm lost without your love I keep trying to find my way
and all I know is I'm lost without you (ho) I'm lost without you
I had an eventful first 2 weeks of JANUARY 2009 AND i SHALL NOT ELABLORATE MORE as there's too much to say.
chalet's over.
GREAT AS THE 4 OF US FINALLY GET TO gather tgt for a class chalet.
Another awesome point is that the 4 of us shared 1 room while the other 10 plus boys squeezed in 1 room.
Moreover, the whole room is Xin Fang's and mine on the second night( but not for long).
And hence, I am still struggling with my poly vs JC, Bio vs Physics, and Anderson vs AC.
-I know I'll still go for JC despite how attracted I am to poly life now.
-BIO. would be more practical for me. but FAT HOPE!
- Anderson will be better for me I believe. I can feel this special affection to Anderson despite all the discouragement I receive from my friends. I went to AC open house today and as expected, I am really not able to mingle well in it as a result of its culture and "the ppl".
Anw. I went to the website Mr Loh told us to take a look,which is about POLY V.S JC (HOT TOPIC!).
And I saw some replies,
"doesnt matter where you go. theres no better or worse. people who are meant to succeed are born with the attributes to succeed (eg. determination, creativity, etc.)whatever route you take, is just meant to open the door to the working world. other than that, the so called "skills" dont really matter. Its more of innate personal ability.so if the premise is long term success, theres no reason for comparison"
"I chose JC because i have many friends going JC also, so, i'm a follower. In JC, one of my tutors said the 2yrs in JC is also the time you start thinking what you want to study in Uni, because many students blindly enter JC without thinking about what they wanna study in Uni. I'm also one of these students, but even now in Uni i'm still not sure if i got into the right course. Blindly accepted the course offered to me by Uni, and I'm heading into 2nd year this August.
As a result, i'm suffering the 'Degree=Good Prospect' stigma and giving myself tons of unwanted pressure to the extent of depression....i feel my GPA not very safe, considering the competition...
Thinking back, i think there many students enter JCs because they just followed the trend without knowing what they want to study. Not saying that all are like that, but still a substantial number, my guess.....just a guess!"
"Many of the people I know who is now in poly chose it not so much because they "know what they want" and thus go to poly. A number of them also actually chose a JC as their first choice, but since could not get into their choice JC, they decided to just go for a poly. Also, many of those people only have half-hearted aims to get to a university; they simply want to work after getting a poly diploma. Adding on, many of those people really did choose poly because they were very influenced by the advertisements everywhere and went in without doing full research. They think poly is easy, poly is slack but these people i know are actually beginning to feel the heat.
I don't deny that a Poly-Uni cert will be more valuable than a JC-Uni cert but reality is, in poly, currently only 15% will actually make it to university while in the JCs, rate is still at 90%. And poly diplomas, no matter how much people glorify it, in the current Singapore context, will still be inferior to a University Degree. The 75% of the poly grads will end up earning much less than university graduates.For example, a starting teacher who teaches primary school comes from a poly earns a basic salary of around $1400-$1600, while a uni grad will earn ard $2300-$2500. This is reality as of 2007. Don't talk about those once in a blue moon cases whereby poly grads become millionaires etc.
Please don't go assuming that JC students are shallow minded, govermnent influenced individuals. If you ask me, it is SOME of the poly students who are so; look at how they get easily influenced by the ads and articles about how great polys are. From what I have heard, currently the polytechnic is being made popular due to the shortage of university places currently. This current policy will ensure that the current universities will still be able to take in students and not be overloaded. (This is just something I heard, so cannot confirm)"
AND THE NEXT REPLY may be quite sensitive and offending to some of you,
"You see those people fixing wiring in buildings? Those are from ITE. You see those who tell them what and where to fix and make sure they do it correctly? Those are from poly. Then those you don't see, are those with uni cert. They do the planning, then tell the pple with poly certs to command the pple with ITE certs to do the fixing.
I know there's a whole lot of discrimination in my above example passage. I apologize first if it offends anyone. But this is quite similar to what is happening in society. Doesn't mean 'shorter route' means better.Given a second choice, I will still choose the A level route. This is because that it will be a 'must' that you complete uni in order to survive well. From the mentality described in your passage, a uni education will be 'good to have' instead of 'must have'. Obviously, a 'must have' attitude will very usually do better than a 'good to have' attitude."
