school started three days ago, but i only had school for one day. ;p but the only day of school was quite eventful. nm1101e: met yeekai, zhenzhong, bowen, atticus, puaylin. basic translation: met kaili. yay, i'm not taking it alone. =) but when i reached hq after lecture, i realised my baby's gone! i cant even recall if i've brought it out of the lt, but it doesn't seems as though i left empty-handed. jan, xinying and changjie prayed for me. and thank God when i went back to the lt and ask, this girl helped me safeguard it and passed it to me. thank God!

when i went for choir pract on mon i found out that jasmine and sharlene are taking french1 too and in fact taking the same slot as me! wahaha.

starting school gives reason for many things. for one, shopping~! because afterall, we need to wear clothes to school. ;p was walking past isetan wisma when i realise 'the box' is having a sale! 'the box' is one of my favourite, with pretty knee-length skirts and accessorized tank tops. yay. and then i spotted Neckermann! woohoo... in summary, i spent and spent and ...

planetshakers concert. wasn't as good as i expected, partly because i din really like their new songs this year. quite a letdown too because it was just too short. but their 'Evermore' was *woooh*... as if they were playing the cd... mesmerized with the background female vocals.

went cartel with debbie, eelee and wyn. had a lil pleasant surprise for eelee when me and wyn suddenly showed up. some catching up, and as a birthday treat for eelee. it's always heartwarming to meet them and just talk. =)

floating thoughts. everybody should just remain as friends forever. friends can do anything and everything together. through thick and thin. laughter and tears. yet 'friends' is one of the most ambiguous words i know. we're friends. what does it mean exactly? but still, everybody should just remain as friends forever. life will be simpler then.

tell me
did you fall
for the shooting star
did the wind
sweep you off your feet?

sunrise. awe of God. sheer beauty.
red and white people.

Bidding.
Everything went well. Got my chinese modules, and my long-awaited new media exposure. BUT bidding for french1 was a heartache. There's only 4 vacancies available for returning students, 7 for new students, and 6 reserved for later rounds. I really didn't expect the bid points to get so high, so i dumped all my bid points down, since it's my last module anyway, and omg. !!

hence my nick. 911. for police in usa, the terrorist attack on the twin towers, and the no. of points i used for french1.

Blood donation.
To me, blood donation is worth every effort. Firstly, donating blood can save someone else's life. Secondly, red blood cells only has a lifespan of 120 days. Hence even if we don't donate blood, the red blood cells in our body will eventually die and be excreted as urine. Thirdly, it's not as painful as it seems. During blood donation, there's 2 injections. The first is to inject anesthetic. It's a normal injection. The second is to inject the tube-like needle such that blood can flow out. At this point, the anesthetic has taken effect and there's no pain. So, really, it's not as painful as it seems.

For this reason I always urge the people around me to go for blood donation. Went for it today with yi-shyan. Her first time. =) But it wasn't a smooth one for me cuz I think i shifted my hand and caused the needle to go out of place, making the blood to not flow smoothly. So i had to stay there longer. And after that I felt dizzy. And had to lie there for some time. But nonetheless, I'm glad I went for blood donation. Like I said, blood donation's worth every effort.

Misc.
Recently I feel that my personality's changing. Becoming more choleric (if this is how it should be spelt). Perhaps it's because of the people I interact with. It's scary when I feel that I can't control my personality, of how differently I react to different people.
Feeling slightly apprehensive towards the new semester. Although I'm more glad to have a weekly schedule to follow. Apprehensive because of the three chinese modules. I'm not sure how well I can cope with them. Apprehensive also because I'll be taking a french with a new friend. But nonetheless, still looking forward to the new semester.
Something new I've realised about songs, particularly lyrics. The difference between chinese lyrics and english lyrics. Someone once commented to me that she prefers chinese songs because their lyrics are more beautiful and meaningful. I told her that I prefer english songs because of their musicality. Over the following weeks, I realised that it's true that english songs have simpler lyrics. But I've also observed that english songs tend to be able to bring across the intended message if simpler words are used. For chinese lyrics, on the other hand, fancy words are able to add depth and express a sense of conviction. Would you agree with me?

okay, so i guess i'll be taking a break after this post.

Hmmm, guess where i went today? Hee. I went to jb! With eelee, jency, ting ting and ziying. Yupps. A short jb trip. Eelee and zinc did their hair, me and eelee did pedicure, and we all did some shopping. Having combed the first shopping centre, I was a quite disappointed because all I got was pedicure (S$17) and a box of bubble gum (S$3.50). Haha. Ting and jency 'prophesized' that I'll end up buying nothing. But it was proven wrong when we headed to the 2nd shopping centre. I got a lil bag (S$6), a black casual 3/4 (S$5) and a pair of body scrub gloves (S$7). =) Pretty fruitful trip. And we had kfc and kenny rogers. Kenny rogers was disappointing though.

But if i had more cash i would've bought more stuff.

think i'll be taking a break from blogging. a lil short break.

no one told you how great you look. that staring at your pic can be a pastime.
