PICTURE HEAVY POST.


Went to town with Chenjinghui, Cherylkoh, Jingen, Meiyee & SarahLim. Met on the train with 4 girls except Meiyee. Headed to Bugis, waited for Meiyee to come & we started our spree in Bugis Street for almost 3 hours. Got hungry, we decided to head over to Far East Plaza for dinner. Wanted to settle down in Graffiti Cafe for Wanton Noodles, but there was no space. So Cheryl & Sarah accompanied Jingen to extend her hair while Jinghui, Meiyee & I find places to sit. So here's the funny part:

We have a total of 6 person. So there was one table with only 2 seats. So we waited for another table with 4 seats so that we can join tables to become 6 seats. & When I was dragging the stool over, the stool don't wanna listen to me. So I carried it up & accidentally slammed the stool onto the ground, causing all the people in the cafe shock -.- & Jinghui, Meiyee & I were laughing cause I wasn't intentionally! LOL.

So anyway, had dinner around 8 plus, Sarah went to shop again & we left town around 11. Reached home around 11.30pm, bathed & slept.

Madass lots of pictures:(Lazy to sort out, so here it is:)

ANOTHER NEW POST on 23 JANUARY 2010!

I'm going to talk about my family, which I never really did in details before. & It had been troubling me for many years. You may skip this part cause it wasn't the usual me.



I might seemed happy with the current family I have now, yes it's true but sometimes, I think I could have been much more happier.

My parents knew each other on 14 December 1993 at a bar. Yes you could imagine that I'm one of those suppose one night stand kid. My Mom got pregnant & my parents were married in April 1994. My Mom later gave birth to me in November 8, 1994. I lived with my Grandparents at Teban Gardens.

2 years down the road, my Mom was pregnant again with my Brother, Wesley. He was born on April 14,1996. Just before he was a year old, he was contracted with a illness called (I don't know how to spell.) It's an illness where a blood cot was blocking one of his brain nerves that made him slow in learning things. He later developed fits frequently.

I was just a 2 years old kid. I didn't knew what was going on. I never got beatings from my Dad, which up till now I didn't know why even though I knew I was mischievous when I was young. I got 4 canings from Mom because I spoilt her things. That's the end of my beating. I received no further beatings than those 4.

Dad had to bring Wesley for regular checkups every half a year, & his medicine always cost Dad a bomb. Almost up to $10K per year. Dad wasn't really earning much, but he had no choice. This wasn't what he wanted.

Till when I was 5, we moved house. My parents bought a flat in Sembawang & my nanny maid went back home & got married. Parents later hired another maid to take care of us. Dad asked me up every morning at 6am together with the maid, to do house chores. Sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, cleaning all those racks & shelves. When every other kids were sleeping soundly at 6am, I'm already awake, doing house chores. After those chores, I would then go to the Kindergarden on my own. Yes, on my own. I didn't knew why Dad wanted me to do things alone, I guess he wanted me to be independent. But I never really liked it.

When I was in Primary 1, my parents got a divorced without me knowing. I could only vividly remember that they had a massive quarrel that they started throwing things at each other. I could only hugged Wesley & cry in one corner cause I didn't knew what to do.

So Mom slept in the other room while Dad still sleeps in the Master Bedroom. Life went on till when I was in Primary 3. Mom told me that she had to move out because Dad didn't want her anymore. I saw those movers shifted Mom's belongings away, I cried non stop. Mom asked me whether I wanted to live with her, I said I don't know. I saw Mom cried. I didn't know what to do.

After Mom moved out, maid was also sent back to her hometown.

Dad asked Grandparents to move in & stayed with us. My Grandparents didn't like me when I was born. She thought that I was a child before marriage & would bring bad luck to the family. Moreover, I am a girl. So they favoured Wesley over me. They picked on me whenever they could & ordered me around like a maid in the house to do house chores.


Life changed after Dad met Stepmom, whom I call her Aunty Serene. They met in 2004. I didn't liked her at first, because I thought she snatched Dad away from Mom. Back then, I wasn't meeting my Mom often because of some reasons.

I still remember once when I fainted in school, my teachers asked me who to call. I said I don't know. They called my Mom, but Mom didn't answered. Then they called Dad, Dad said he would rush over. I waited for him for an hour, in semi-consciousness. I thought I was going to die at that time. Dad sent me to a clinic, the doctor said I had low blood pressure, but not those serious type.

Then Aunty Serene was later pregnant with Shanonbel in 2005, so Dad married her in August 8, 2005. Aunty Serene gave birth to Shanonbel in January 10, 2006.

Grandparents too didn't liked Shanonbel, because she was in the same situation as me. I used to mind that they kept critising on me & Mom, & now even Shanonbel. She's just a small kid, what to they want?

The same incident that happened to me when I was in Primary 4 happened again when I was in Secondary 2. I fainted in school. Dad came to pick me up after I threw up many times. The same thing again, my low blood pressure friend was here to visit me again.

Aunty Serene then later gave birth to Ric in May 31, 2008. But still, Grandparents favours Wesley more than any of their grandchildren because he was the eldest grandson.

Then, one day Dad & Aunty Serene told me about Mom & Dad's past. The day when Dad & Mom got divorced, Mom wanted to take me along with her, but didn't because Dad had a condition. If she wants me, she had to take Wesley along too. Back then, she felt that Wesley was a burden because he relies on medicine a lot & it cost a bomb.

So Mom gave up the idea of taking me along. Grandparents are always complaining about Mom in front of relatives. Like how Mom went drinking & smoking when she was pregnant with Wesley. They felt that Mom was to blame for making Wesley like this. I turned a deaf ear to how they critised Mom.

I never lived with Mom, & I didn't know how it feels like living in a complete strange place. If Mom took me along with her when she divorced with Dad, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have gotten into Woodgrove, wouldn't have knew so many people in Canberra. I would have already been settling myself in the East side where Mom lives, knowing new friends & adapting to life there.

I don't know how to continue my story any further. When people asked me about my Stepmom, I'd proudly say she dotes on me a lot. But when they asked me about my Mom, I don't know what to say.

Yes I may seemed happy on the outside, but not on the inside.

Back after so many days away from cyberspace. Haven't been online frequently this week as I'm a busybee. Anyway, quite a number of happy + unhappy things this week. Not gonna go into details of the week. Shall start on Thursday instead.

Thursday, quite a happy + unhappy day.

School was quite okay. Except for some paranoid teacher's lesson. She literally screamed at someone, when she already said sorry. I don't think there's a need to. Like instead of embarrassing that girl, she embarrassed herself. -.- No point man. You're only making the whole class dislike you.


On happier note, we went to CPF board for school trip. Was fun! Except the grouping part. Yes it's you again. We were already in our groups as you asked us to get into our groups. It meant that we could choose who we want to be with right? So what if we were in one Chinese/Malay/Boys/Girls groups? We are still classmates afterall, just not that close to each other, that's why didn't went into the same group as them. You separated 2 girls from our group, making them unhappy, & we unhappy.



On the way to CPF Board



On brighter side, we played STA$H. Fun game of Monopoly. My group, which is like, Junru's Girls group, got first! Cos we won the most number of money :D

After the 30 minutes or so game, we had some refreshments outside the conference room. Nice ^^ I like ^^ Headed to the toilet with the girls. Wanted to take a group photo of the girls but due to space & time constraint, we didn't! ): Headed back to the conference room for the presentation of CPF Board. Then, we went to tour around the CPF area. Headed back to school. & That paranoid teacher came about again with her naggings -.-






My team is Group B!

Refreshments & Deedee's posing with one of the puff :)

With Shidah & Jinghui

Junru

With Jinghui & Qiaorov

Me & Cherylwong



Headed for CO with Jinghui, Ziyan & Muhan. Had a bit of combine, then released. Headed to Causeway Point with Kiss Generation Girls & Sarah :) Saw Jinfu, Weixiang, Desmond, Shinkiat & Youxiang on the way to Sakae Sushi :D

Headed to Sakae Sushi with the girls. Settled ourselves down, & started with our buffet. My table, consist of myself, Joanne, Cheryl, Jinghui, Brenda & Sarah, ate 20 ++ plates within 30 minutes. Fast? :)




















Continued eating all the way until 9pm. Settled the bill, walked around Causeway Point. Jf, Wx, Desmond, YX & SK were kind enough to wait for me & went home together :D

Headed to bed straight. LOL. Too tired.


Friday, school was normal. CO CMC Meeting. Slacked around in 4N2 classroom with Jinghui, Cheryl, Jing En, Elene & Enrico. Blasting songs through the speakers with our phones, doing their class deco. Gossiped talked laughed. Went home around 4 plus with Cheryl. Reached home, bathed, went out with Shanonbel to Woodlands Center. That cute girl actually fell asleep & I had to carry her. -.- Anyway, headed back to Sunplaza & met Louis, Desmond, YX, YC & Jinfu. Talked awhile, headed home for dinner.


Today, went out with Mama & her boyfriend to Bugis. No pictures because I forgotten to bring out my camera -.- Only bought one tanktop & 1 box of fake lashes. Took Bus 980 home for 1 hour. Butt ache!

Haven't been posting since last week? Nothing really happened this few days except for the mountain of homework that I had been trying to clear but was unsuccessful. Anyway, updates on Desmond Grandson's birthday & town with Jesslyn sister :)

Met Jesslyn Sis & we headed off to Orchard first. Cotton On @ Orchard was having 50% sales so we went in to take a look, bought 2 tops for myself for like only 15bucks. Cheap or what. Heading down again with Mama this Sat I think.



@ Slice



Then headed to Far East Plaza, wanted to get shoes but didn't saw what I wanted. So settled down @ Slice to have some dessert & to rest my legs! The heels that I wore out were killing me seriously. -.- Shopped around FEP, but didn't bought anything -.- Then headed to Bugis Street. Shopped for like 2-3 hours in there, & I only bought one panel high-wrist skirt. Shopped around Bugis Juction next, bought pencil case & 2 gifts for Bro & Grandson as their belated & advance birthday presents!

Spent a crazy bomb on that day which I think was a little crazy -.- Took Bus 980 from Bugis all the way to Sembawang Bus Interchange. Mad crazy, took us 1 hour to reach & I literally fell asleep on the bus, lying on Sis's shoulder. Hee. Spent some time @ Sunplaza & then we walked to Blk 468 for Grandson's bbq.

Longggggg distance, Wx Penguin came out to fetch us in because we don't know the way in there. Then slacked, talked, gossiped, laughed. Headed over to meet Bro with Bestfriend & Sis. Then went to the coffeeshop to take away porridge. Back to the bbq, waited for Stead to come. Talked, gossiped, laughed, walked home with Sis, Bestfriend & Leonard. Bro came to meet us halfway. Home around midnight. Bathed, telly & slept.






I know I looked fat ):



Bestfriend(Tall guy), Sis & Stead(Small girl, HAHA).

Happy birthday Grandson! (In advance)




Spent my day on Sunday @ home doing homework for 8 hours. Yes, 8 hours. Did nothing except homework. Stepmom even helped me with my 报章读后感(something like that) because Baby Ric scribbled on my essay when I'm done writing it. So Stepmom helped me rewrite the whole thing :)

Today (Which is Monday) was quite a good day afterall although I'm kinda tired & I don't know why. No homework for today also! Happyhappy ^^ & Yup, the namelist of people who will be taking up O Level Chinese this year is out. Qiaorov & I are included. Hopefully, O Level Chinese will pull me up for N's! (Am kinda scared now)

Anyway, overdued pictures of Jurong Grandma's birthday celebration on 1st Jan 2010.













Ok, bye. Might be putting up tagboard soon. Hmm....

It's been a week since school starts. School was pretty well, but teachers are stressing us with N levels & O levels! Omg.

Anyway, Monday wasn't a good day at all. It rained in the morning. I took bus to Admiralty & Hinyee's dad came over & fetch me to school :)Headed over to the canteen, surprised that the canteen vendor still know my usual! Green Tea bottle :) Then went back to class. Went touring around the school with Wong & Angelina. & I freaking lost my ring in school & I don't know where. Argh.

Ms Lam & Mr Toh are still our form & co-form teachers. Settled some admin stuffs till recess. Headed for recess then back to class again. Continued with lesson. Ms Lim came in for Emaths. Forgotten what lesson I had till end of school, went for CO? Or did I went back home? Can't remember.


Tuesday was still okok. Had attire check in the morning. Failed for dyed hair, ankle socks & short skirt. CO after school, combined songs for Sec 1 Orientation. Headed to Sunplaza to get my hair dye, then came back home & dyed my hair. Baby came over to stay over, slept around 12.30am.


Wednesday, assembled in the Parade Square. Passed attire check! :) Had lessons all the way till school ends. Almost died cause Amaths lesson were the last 2 periods before recess. Then after recess, another 2 more periods of Amaths, after Amaths, then Emaths. Total of 5 Maths periods straight. You say die or not. Took the Chinese O Level Mock Exam after school, then headed for sectional practice. Went home together with Koh, Jinghui, Brenda, Joanne, Sarah & Rachel I think.


Thursday, rained again -.- Assembled in the classroom instead. Went for Mass Run, ran along the staircase. Almost died! Ok la, not so exaggerating. PE afterward. Miss Thia was funny! I think she's in good mood, that's why. Took height & weight. Then did jumping jacks. Hilarious man. Then for Chinese lesson, took the Chinese O Level paper again. (Like never ending man). Went for recess afterward. Lessons were okayokay lor. CO members were dismissed @ 1.15pm for Sec 1 Orientation, got ready & went down to the hall. After the performance, went back to CO Room to prepare to introduce Sec 1s about CO. Blahblah, released @ around 6 plus. Went home with Rachel, Xinyi & Sarah. We purposely missed our bus cause we were so engrossed in watching one of the couple, from our school.

That girl's boyfriend's actions were like funny can. Both Rachel & me kept re-acting what the boyfriend did. Laugh till my stomach pain. After that couple left, another couple from CHR came. Boarded the same bus with us & we gossiped all the way till they alighted. Headed home. Baby came over & stayed again :)

Friday was short & fast. Time seemed to pass very fast. Had CO meeting after school. 5 hours straight. Talked about many things. Headed home with Koh. So yup, that's all. :)
