step not on a single crack, tossing salt behind your back.

hello all ! im feeling rather hyper today ! even though school is only 3 days away. no wait, 2. even worse. anyway, im in my dad's office right now, and i've found out that im influential ! :D
observe the picture below:



a few days ago, i wrote the 'Amanda was HERE! :D' on the whiteboard. and surprise surprise, i came back today and found 2 followers ! and by the way, monica is sec 4, and jia er (carol) is JC 2 :/ they're my dad's colleague's daughters.


went for cip again at central library. this time wei tian and jie lin joined us :D we got to do 2 hours of survey asking, and the remaining 3 hours to do quite stupid work. printing, laminating, and cutting out magazine box labels :/ what a yawnfest. but the laminating was cool :)



then after cip, hannah drove cheryl to amk hub and wei tian back home. sorry wei tian, that i thought your brother was a girl *blushes*
i told hannah to just drop me at yio chu kang mrt, but her and her kind dad dropped me back home, and she even got to stay awhile ! cheers hannah and mr ho ! :DD

took some reeeeeaaaaally cool jump shots. sadly, all of mine failed. again.


heaven?

goodbye, world. i'll see you soon.
:D

i sincerely apologise to all christians/catholics i may have offended with this post. sorry.

BELATED MERRY CHRISTMAS AND EARLY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE ! :D

first things first, to SUMONE: i want to make things clear with you, and in the spirit of christmas, i shant start flinging swear words at you. i am NOT a christian, and i dont believe i ever i ever posted about it on my blog, lest of all brag about it. I AM A FREE-THINKER, so get that into your brain before you go around criticising people in public. who are you anyway?

so, cleared of that ugly nothingness, im free to post now ! :D

christmas with the relatives was pretty fun, and my parents ended up buying 3 of the choir logcakes just to help me get rid of them :/
but at least they were yummy :D

i've FINALLY finished my hcl compo ! which just leaves geog poster ! wheee !
oh and im in 2 Loyalty next year. but why why why did they have to split up the mep class ?! hannah and cheryllim are in 2 Justice, ughh !! but congrats to danica, who's going to 2 Faith, which just so happens to be the best class for next year :/

ahhhhh choir prac tomorrow, my dad's pissed. and so am i.

and here is Hannah the Smart, whom i already posted about in one of the older posts. yup, this was when she came to my house and was trying to open the door by pushing the magical invisible buttons. oh yeah.

anyway, had CIP with Hannah, Lynette and CherylLim today, at the library in Bugis. you know, the biggest one. we turned up expecting to do 5 hours of handing out surveys/CIP, but only went home with 2. why? because the bloody library ran out of surveys for us to hand out cos we're just so darn efficient. so we had no choice but to sign out.

then, just when we're feeling relaxed and a teensy weensy bit glad that the awkward job of asking complete strangers to do surveys is over, surprise surprise, they reprint a whole new batch of surveys. the ever hardworking cheryl takes up the job, but the rest of us lazybums cant be bothered. so, in the end, we had to leave poor cheryl to do the task of completing 50 surveys on her own while we went off to fill our tummies. really REALLY sorry, cheryl D: but look at it this way, at least you got more hours than us :)

BUT, even though we were feeling horribly guilty, we still went to Bugis Junction to get food. long live old chang kee's curry puffs :D

hannah bought these octopus balls things, and lynette had packed bee hoon. then we took the train to raffles city, intending to eat by the Singapore River (my mum later commented on how romantic that was :/) sadly though, it was pouring. so, we ate our food on the steps leading to Standard Chartered. haha, we looked like a bunch of beggars :D

we wasted time taking jump shots and other pics, and basically, just acting stupid :D yay i took the best jump shots, guess i dont have slow reaction time then :D but the down side was that i only got one shot of myself D: oh well. oh and lynette's camera ran out of batteries so she was acting all emo.

hannah looks like she's really flying, while lynette looks like she's being sucked up. by aliens probably :D

hannah is photogenic, no matter what she says :D

***************************************************************

come to think of it, there are not many photos to post of chiangmai, unless you guys are interested in looking at pictures of tourist spots. which i wouldnt be. and im sad to say that there's not much to post about, even though we had more sightseeing in chiangmai than in bali. but anywayy...

dayONE: we went to this really nice Buddhist temple after we settled down in the hotel.
dayTWO: we went elephant riding at an elephant camp, saw the hill tribes and long-necked women (took photo with this uber cute girl), and went to different places to buy stuff.
dayTHREE: took the 4-hour car ride to chiangrai, and visited a hot spring where we cooked eggs, another beautiful temple, and the famous Golden Triangle *insert aweing "ooooh" sound*
dayFOUR: SHOPPING ALL DAY :D
and we went home on day five.

and thats about it, if you guys wanna see the long-necked women or something, just tag, and i'll post it :D

just one more thing before i go,
I CANT WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS! whoooo

if you bothered and managed to finish reading this extremely long post, i shake you warmly by the hand.

im back :D

all i can say is, chiang mai was... hectic. touring practically everyday we were there. thankfully, the stuff there is much cheaper, so i got to buy lots and lots of stuff ! haha, because unlike cheryl, i LOVE shopping. and the night bazaar was just outside the hotel :D

i got a fake ProSports bag :D i think its supposed to be something like LeSportsac, cos the design's roughly the same, and it only cost S$12 dollars ! wheee ! what's more is that i saw the real one in the airport and it cost S$120 :O

considering that i just got back at 6pm, im feeling lethargic right now :) plus, i havent uploaded the photos yet, so i'll just continue posting tomorrow ! (or whenever my tomorrow is :D)

Hasta La Vista ! :D

i shall post about last wednesday, friday, yesterday, and today to make up for my lack of updates!

WEDNESDAY

went to causeway point to watch Enchanted with hannah and alicia !
its such an amazing show ! except for the superbly gay and egoistic parts. bleargh, cant stand that. however, it does still make my top 10 :D
but whats cute was that the prince's name is Edward, and there was this hotel called Bella Notte. haha, its pretty lame to spot these things, but, yeah :D long live twilight !

after the movie, hannah came over to my house and we had FUN ! :D
she tried to open the shower door in the toilet, but for some strange reason, kept poking it as if it would magically open :/ never seen sliding doors before, hon?
i wanna post the picture, but my phone wont connect to the comp :( perhaps another time then.

spent most of the time making crazy videos to match "Rockstar" by Hannah Montana :D
took lotsa and lotsa pictures too :D

dunno what hannah was trying to do, but, she looks creepy alright :D

FRIDAY

hameedaaaa invited me and atiqah to her house for dinner !
hameed and atiqah picked me up from the bus stop cos i didnt know how to go there. such good friends :)
took the long way back to her house, then when we reached we just lazed around in her bedroom and looked at primary school photos :D a little nonstalgic, but not enough for the waterworks :D

of course we took pictures too :D

that small head is hameed's adorable sister, Sali :D
and those lovely people beside the beaming idiot with the shining forehead is atiqah and hameed :D

the crazy three and sali's head

then we had dinner. yay yay yay i love her mum's nan and chapati ! :D plus, this time there was nothing too hot, so i only drank 2 glasses of water ! (FYI, last time i went to her house i drank 5 whole jugfuls :/)

YESTERDAY

was supposed to go do cip with cheryl and hannah at toa payoh library, but due to many complications, we couldnt do it D: and my meanie dad wouldnt let me go there to do homework with hannah and cheryl anyway D:
so, we ended up watching 881 at home :)

its a touching yet comical show, and it definitely makes my top 10 too. the last part was incredibly sad. my eyes were all red and puffy at the end of the show :(

TODAY

today was a bummer. was supposed to have voice today, to make up for this coming friday, but due to some miscommunication problem between me and lynette, i had to miss it.
rosy/rosie tan smsed me to come at 2.15pm, but lynette later smsed to come at 11am. for some strange reason, i got it stuck in my head to come at 2.15pm. so, in the end, when my maths tuition just finished at 11am, lynette smsed me to ask why i still wasnt here.

arghhh ! why am i so blur ?! ruei ern and cheryl foo's sotong-ness is catching on to me.

in the end, i wasted my time taking lots of photos of random things. i love the pic below, thank goodness i managed to dig them out when looking for stuff to sell at the garage sale :)

the sesame street gang (uncomplete :D)

hey people, i wont be in singapore from 18th to 22nd december; im going to chiangmai ! whee ! so please, flood my tagboard with all your nonsense ! cos unlike some people, i actually enjoy being spammed and having my tagboard flooded :D toodles !

okay okay, so i said that i hated doing quizzes, but you guys dont have to make me feel so darn guilty. *stares at hannah and cheryl* im okay with short, easy quizzes, but long ones are a no-no. BUT, yes, the big BUT, because im such an awesome friend, i shall do your quizzes. even though it will take me eons just to complete it. eons.

*muffled cursing*

on second thought, since the effing computer just restarted on me, i guess i'll do it next time. sorry :)
gotta go research for possible cip anyway :)

but since this post hardly qualifies as a post... HOMEWORK UPDATE ! :D

i still have these left:
1) HCL compo and 2nd compre
2) Half of Geog
3) Half of History

due to my procastinating skills, i'll probably still be finishing these (last minute) on the first day of school next year. ah well, figures.

ok, so technically, this isnt "yesterday", but im a very busy girl, so you cant fault me for not posting on schedule. im not uber free that i can post daily, like a certain cheryl i know :D

well anyway, on thursday, my sis and i went to my aunt's house to get baking lessons. we made cornflake crunchies and mini chocolate chip cookies (alliteration! :D) ! surprisingly, these turned out to be quite edible, so i guess i still have a shot at chef life ;D
(each of the set of pictures shows the 'before' and 'after' stage of the cookies :D

CORNFLAKE CRUNCHIES

we made such a huge batch of these cookies, as you can see from above :) but they are very tiresome to make.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

my aunt made some real choc chip cookies, while my sis and i just fooled around with the cookie cutters and chocolate chips. but they still turned scrum-diddly-umptious :D
the second picture features my favourite cookies :D

dayFOUR (of the bali trip :D)

1 think day 4 was by far the umm, most interesting of the entire trip. after breakfast, we sent my sis and brother to camp nusa, this sort of day camp for little kids. then we took a taxi downtown to kuta beach to go to a SPA, ooh la la. yes, even me :D
so i had a facial, a body scrub, 'milk' bath, and pedicure ! haha, dont call me pampered, my mum wanted me to have "the experience" :/

after the 3-hour long package, we went around to shop. again. :D i practically screamed when i saw a Krispy Kreme shop. Krispy Kreme is this super famous donut shop that can only be found in the US, which is why i was so deliriously shocked. in a good way, of course. thanks to some offer, we bought 2 dozen ! omg, they were so light and WONDERFUL, much better than any donut factory or whatever.

HA. looks like im advertising :/

by the time we reached back at the hotel, it was really late. on our insitence, parents went out for dinner, and i stayed behind to take care of my sis and brother. we had donuts for dinner :D

i forgot to mention...


my sis and i had a little trouble changing my brother's diapers, but we managed fine in the end :D (try craning your nech sideways to see the 2nd picture properly :D)

- end of extremely long and wordy post -

UPDATE ON THE REUNION

it was a BLAST ! :D

ok, so it wasnt the most fun gathering ever, and lots of people didnt turn up, but out of the 2, this one definitely gets my gream :D (for those who dont know, a gream = grin +beam. haha, darling hannah came up with it :D)

anyway, the reason it was fun was cos sweet amanda lim brought uno cards, so we could play stress and snap. haha, yeah, baby games, but i had fun. although im certain hameed was cheating, otherwise why did she keep winning at snap? and dont say you're a fast reactor, cos i dont believe it. im watching you, bee *slits eyes*

heehee, 6 Diligent is the <333>

i love my crazy chickadees ;D

day before that, had sleepover at en-ting's house, missed last year's annual sleepover so this one made up for it ! wheeeeeeeeee ! :D

woke up and had french toast for breakfast (yum !), then did some beading and went to my house to try and cook :)
the chocolate-covered cornflakes looked easy, so we tried to melt the chocolate bars to get the chocolate. from the picture on the left, we quite obviously failed :/

next try was cookies. had fun pressing the many shapes out with cookie cutters :D

since my oven is apparently "the wrong type", it came out white instead of golden, with a few burnt bits. but my mum said they tasted good :D

well, our possible future careers as cooks were destroyed yesterday.

yay im not much shorter than darling tingy now ! :D <333>

dayFOUR of the bali trip is pretty long, so i'll post it tomorrow, along with what i did today :D

bloody hell, another person off the list. but at least 2 more were added. PHEW. thanks atiqah, darling ;D though i am a bit pissed that some of them only replied after the deadline. ahh well, nobody's perfect. and just to confirm, the food is halal.

there was choir today. had to come 3 hours earlier to do the cca fair stuff. sop ones got stuck with colouring posters, UGH. everyone knows how hard i try to be perfect in everything, so you guys know how slow i colored the posters :( when practically everyone esle had finished their 5th or something, i was still stuck with 4th. BAHHH.

choir practice after that was horrendous. there were only 2, yes, 2, people singing the lower part: me and zhao yi. so i didnt really have much support there, no offence. well, it didnt matter, cos everyone else sucked along with me, once again, no offence. ms lim got super pissed and dismissed us early. man, feel so damn guilty D:

dayTHREE

hardly any pictures to post, since day 3 was relaxing day. but being the party pooper that i am, i stayed behind in the comfy but cold hotel room, while my family frolicked at the beach. though i got the last laugh when they came back mosquito-bitten and rather sunburnt. but nevermind, at least i got to read most of Vanishing Acts then :) and then we went shopping again at night :D

which reminds me, now that i've finished eclipse, im desperately waiting for Breaking Dawn. oh my gosh, CANT WAIT !
