Countdown to school reopening...*1 week* its almost time to go back to school and start my final sem in TP. Yr 3 is definitely not easy at all. So far, i havent got my time-table, but roughly i sort of noe what subjects i will be doing and all. its gonna be real tough to balance project and lessons altogether... So i guess my fun time stops here and its time for the last 100m dash to the finishing point.
cant wait for tomolo to arrive. morning will be going back to school to do project, then its off to jerm's house for sleepover, or rather 'watch vcd-over' haha.... the whole gang of us gonna be staying over and watch vcd till we pass out...hahahaha, i dun tink its gonna be that bad. all of us are night owls and with something to do, we will not pass out. hopefully we will not make so much noise that we wake up the whole neighbourhood. we wanna sort of celebrate halloween tml too but dunno wat to do...maybe i go buy a witch hat since i saw it selling at a store in town. but den quite weird lar to have a pointy hat in the house... and not much of a use also...unless i wear it to watch Harry Potter new movie...*wide-eyed*
about a few week more to Harry Potter 4th book movie to be out. wonder if there will be a movie marathon...i might go for it unless it's gonna cost a lot! i still havent got my pay from a few of the previous jobs that i took. hopefully the $$ better come soon....*i'm gg broke!*
i've also been reading Naruto like crazy this week cos its so exciting and i stll have at least a hundred chapters to go before i get to the latest book. i used to think that it might be kinda boring but its really good. i'm very hooked so much so that i'm searching for some of the merchandise that has to do wif Kakashi...*my fave character in the series*. so far i found a few that i'm interested in, mainly the cosplay stuff like the leaf headgear and gloves. wondering if i shld buy them cos some are not exactly cheap. mostly are found online and i was wondering if i will be able to get them in shops here. then i do not have to use the internet. i prefer to see the goods before buying see?! anyone can gif me a clue as to where i can find such shops that sell the Naruto merchandise??

onli one word to describe my day: TIRED! reached school at 11am and stayed all the way in the lab till 6pm. i can't believe that i spent 7 whole hours ion the food lab doing nothing but baking and baking buns! i totally smell of yeast and bread, and both my hands were so stinky after that. However, it was a very fulfilling day, being able to do quite a lot of stuff. So i dun mind the above mentioned hahahah... but i just have to remind myself to bring hand wash, facial wash and face towel to school and put in my locker. that will really make it all better at the end of the day. So in fact the whole day all i ate was bread and bread. the onli 'decent' meal i had for the dae was at 6.30pm, when i went wif my group mate to have dinner. still can't believe that i survived on bread onli for so long hahaha, and i did not take my breakfast.
finally, we made some headway in our project though we can be faster. one reason is that we started late in our project so we are sort of lagging behind other peers in our final project. but i believe that as long as we put in all our efforts and do it to the best that we can, we can achieve good results in our project! so Gambatte!!! =)
this week will really be super tiring for me. i'm very behind time for my logbook update for my project as well. better get it done before the next project meeting. and i'm suppose to work early morn till afternoon for the next 2 days. oh gosh, i havent been waking up so early! during the school break, i'm always still in bed till 12 noon. soon i will have to wake up ver early everyday for weekdays to go to school. wonder if my 'inner' clock can ring tat early.... anyway, back to my job stuff, need to save $$ for a big purpose, so have to work hard ya?!
new stuff i did todae: was shopping after dinner wif my project mate and we came across this counter selling chocolates. we both were so attracted to the little choco in the refrigerated glass display cabinet. all sorts of different types. so i wanted to try some of it so much i actually bot a few and it costed me abt $9 in total for the choco. i had those wif liquor centers like rum and champane in them. the one wif champane was fabulous!! it tasted so good wif the choco and just melts in your mouth! really wanna try again....yum! but can't eat too much... most likely will burn a hole thru my pockets hahahah.... it was a gd try since i havent eaten such kind of choco before this... my fren liked it too though i tink she said the filling were rather 'strong' or something like that. we both agree on the melt-in-your-mouth part though....hahaha....

i'm done with my new skin. its a pic of my fave guy in Naruto, an elite ninja! Haha...Kakashi Hatake, teacher of team 7, coaching Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. He's really cool and all those things he did really attracted me.... But he can be quite 'off' sometimes, doing things and reading books that u can never understand at all! my dream guy?? Maybe...but i dun tink can find someone so cool around me...Heh heh...
Luckily, i din have to make a lot of changes to the blog when i changed my old skin to this. However, it still took me about 2 1/2 hours... tired liao... eyes getting watery and blur. So gotta make my entry today really short. Went Holland Village today with my group of pals. what we did the whole day was just practically play and eat onli...yes, play and eat ONLY! but it was not a day that was wasted. we sort of had an idea to go into a 'business' together, like an entrepreneurship wif them. we talked so much and all of us were so into the idea. we had some concepts and decided that it was something that we shld be doing while we are all young. we have to go out and DO IT!
I cant speak for the rest of them but i really feel so hyped up about it and i think its something like a dream that i had since young. But many pple will say that it would be a risk and what makes us think that we would be successful. i feel that if i do not go out and try it, i may never have the chance and i may regret it for the rest of my life. However, after we had talked about the matter, we realised that we have so many obstacles in front of us. In fact we have one MAJOR problem... and the problem it pose also made me quite...i dunno how to describe. I hope we will be able to realise our dream.
To all my dear friends who share the same dream: we talked a lot and we all had many ideas. this path that we chose and hope to walk will not be smooth at all. i still wanna tell u all to hold on tightly to this dream that we share, and one day, we may really fulfil it. Even if we cant, it will be a dream that we had and smiled upon before... ...

Almost 3 weeks since I last made an entry. Had been going out and hanging around with friends more and more often... Somehow it sort of drew my attention and memory away from blogging.
i'm having sore eyes as i'm typing away, with only my right eye having a clear vision and my left eye, red and ever so blurry... really uncomfortable to type away, especially at night where my room's lighting isn't so good. however, i have this feeling that this will be a long entry...
it's a quiet night and i'm having a really slow song 'Last Night' by Lee-hom, my favourite singer, on my com. and this is the kind of night that makes me thing a lot about happenings around me. Just recently, i went to visit my god-grandma in the hospital. She's really old now and hasn't really been in the best of health. From as long as i can remember, she's always conversing in cantonese, no matter to who. in my generation of kids, not many of us can speak or would speak cantonese, even if we can. so i remember that she would talk to us in cantonese and we would reply her in chinese. somehow, language was not a barrier and i wonder how did we communicate... as we grow older, we would try our best to speak to her in dialect, using our ever-so-broken cantonese. i remember that whenever my god-grandma comes over to stay and chat with my grandma, i must 'give up' my room for her. as a child then, i always wonder why i must do that... and after some time, i will just automatically do it without having to be asked. somehow, i was very willing to do so... She watched my grow up, from the day i was born till now, when i'm already an adult. and i see her grow older and older, year by year.
the visit to the hospital was really heart-wrenching for me. she was so weak when i saw her, so different from all the times we meet. she cant really remember me or my brother... talking was tough and movement was equally difficult. as i stand next to the bed, i couldnt help but feel so helpless at that moment. there was nothing i could do or know wat to do. all i can was to stay rooted. then we left the hospital....
i dun like hospitals. it reminds me of unhappy memories. the time i stayed in the hospital because i almost got pneumonia...all i remembered from then was that the feeling of fear and homesick. then there was the time i last saw my maternal grandma in the hospital before she passed away. i missed her so much because she was the closest to me and brought me up. even till now, it still hurts so much when i tink of her. and my paternal grandma who stayed with us and also took care of me and my brother. the hospital was also the place where i said my last goodbye to her... i really dun like hospitals...
words cant describe my feelings now... ... it's gonna be a long long night ahead....

Yummy... steamboat dinner ! Ma La (Spicy)!!
the board game we played at the cafe....
Sunday was so great! Had so much fun laughing and playing and suanning pple! Sunday was SZ's bdae and we planned a dae of games. the whole bunch of us went to a cafe where we got to play lots of games! So fun! sime of the games i had never even heard of in my life, but so fun to play! never had i ever seen so many board games too! too bad we onli got to stay dere for onli abt 4 hrs. next time i definitely gotta go dere and play the other games as well...my frens were playing this train board game tat looked very interesting, so i must at least play it once. wonder if i can buy the game...hmm...but look really expensive though...
got lots of food to eat too! its delicious! had fish, chips, chicken wings, nuggets, fishballs and some other things tat i cant remember. then had a cool and creamy drink but dun really noe wats in it (who cares as long as it taste nice rite? hee...). was so tempted to try all the food in dere...
after tat, we went off to chinatown to have steamboat dinner. woah! the dinner was so filling cos it was a buffet. dere were things like steamed buns, deep fried mantou, crab (yes...crab), meatballs, tofu, tau pok, seaweed (Mmm..chewy...), mushrooms of many kinds, chicken wings again, fish slices, meat of all kinds and so on...i tot it was an okay meal other than the 'eat all u can'. the chicken soup base was great and so was the ma la soup (spicy soup...REALLY spicy!). the whole group of us were sweating and burning our mouth wif the spicy soup. u cant drink it just like tat, but when food gets cooked in it and eaten, the feeling is SHIOK! hahahaha....
after dinner was some walking time, to digest the food ba...some how... so we went walking down chinatown, to clark quay and caught a glimpse of the 'bungee ride', but no one was taking it..(too bad, hoping to see pple play). then walked again to city hall. finally it was almost 10.30 b4 we all went home... was such a happy dae.
even though it was not my bdae, i got a souvenir frm one of my fren who just came back frm the US. bot me a deck of poker cards frm Las Vegas. SO NICE!!! i love the cards...haha.. so happy that ting u remembered that i love to keep cards...(opps...am i really the gambler in the gang??). it even got a tin box of its own to keep the cards in, so i guess my dear astro members that our next deck wun be 'cream on the rocks' anymore...hahahah
we took a lot of pictures too but i'm not sure how to post photos in here. maybe next time i will post them up if i ever figure out how to...haahaa. ting u will have to teach me!
Oh ya, most impt, SZ, HAPPY BDAE! hope u had a very happy dae and u like yur present too! and NO, we will not be buying u a 1K hp for yur next bdae....=P
