thanks
to ____(fill in the blanks with either cherm, kaii, amanda, bill, wai hoe, xian chang) who has helped me so much just by listening, thank you. i'm really glad i'm friends with you, even though i've only known you when we came to melbourne. i this would be more appropriate at the end of the year but yeah, just felt like saying thanks.
We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing

eap exam & missing words from dictionary!
EAP is crap
like total crap. the whole essay was just copy and paste from the extracts they gave us.
this is the first time i've witten an essay in exam conditions and not feel rushed. WE HAD 3 HOURS TO DO THE DAMN THING. 700 words! i had to ask the examiner whether there was a word limit cause the instructions said to write about 700 words. i think i wrote about 1000? not too sure... anyway, i had this much time:
sleep for the first half an hour.
stone for the next 10 mins
read the passage 3 times
actually pick up my pencil and half plan half stone for 15mins
do the actual essay
vet the damn thing for mistakes TWICE
leave half an hour early
THAT IS TOO MUCH TIME MANN. but i'm not complaining :) at least better than rushing like mad.
oh and because we were writing on the subject of what clothes say about you, i used the example of branded goods. so i wrote something like 2 business women, the one on the left with a brandless handbag, a suit that resembles the one you saw on discount at myers, and ordinary court shoes, whereas the one on the right has a discrete FENDI on her handbag, a well fitting business suit with her intials stiched on her breastpocket, and this is where i got stuck. i forgot how to spell salvatore ferragamo shoes! so, because we are allowed to bring in our dictionaries, i opened my trusty cambridge dictionary and flipped to both sal... and ferr... and they didn't have it! so, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PUT THOSE HARD TO SPELL DESIGNERS' NAMES IN DICTIONARIES! i had to settle for writing down chanel shoes. but i don't think chanel produces officey shoes.
SIGH. anyway, its over. i'm going to do my lit essay from 11 to 3 am tonight, my brain works best then...

he waved to kaii! i wasn't there, dammit. oh well, at least i got to see the set!

factor and things to do
i realised what's triggering all this
its the fact that I AM GOING TO MISS FOUNDER'S DAY BY 13 DAYS.
founder's day is on the 25th and i'm flying back to australia on the 12th. HOW UNFAIR IS THIS?! i mean if i missed it by like 5 days, i can skip abit of school to go for it and if i miss it by a month i wouldn't be going SO CLOSE YET SO F A R.
sigh. i told manda and melia i should tell manda to add in an extra line in her speech as an ex-head that melissa says hi. melia said that the gb juniors would be laughing their heads off at that. ARGH.
things to do when in singapore:
- see the mg yearbook
- go bug the juniors in gb. like see which week they're doing drill and go laugh at them.
- buy *ahem he he* which, according to my accounting lecturer, is another name for non taxable women's products. [the guys were rather amused by that][on a side note, the singaporeans who are here mainly come from single sex schools and the malaysians generally come from co-ed schools. so i realised that it is not acceptable to the malaysians, even though its all girls, to yell out who has a pad! a girl in cell needed one and i was about to yell it out when she practically smothered me with her hand. granted, there were guys around but she had known them for 2 years already... oh well. but if you really need something you would use any means possible to obtain it right?]
- SHOPPING
- ice skating
- 9jamer outing
- eat coffee bean's caesar salad at gutherie house
- so many other things... shall edit later.

flashbacks
all in all,
but i'm happy here too. its just that i do miss family, friends. mg&gb and singapore food
shin nie's 17th and the previous chapter
SUPREMELY PISSED. whatthehellgivesyouthatright?
actually, come to think about it, this applies to 2 people.
never mind. furgedboutit melissa.
anyway, today's shin nie's birthday! her sexy seventeenth! happy birthday woman! hope you liked the ice cream cake-substitute!
speaking of which, the durian gelato is really very good. like someone took fresh durian flesh and chilled it and served it as gelato. its really very fragrant and tastes exactly like durian.
i'm still missing mg. i'm so used to the routine of waking up at 6 am, donning the pinafore and white blouse, putting my badge in my pocket to pin on later cause i'm running late, seeing the same faces, singing the national anthem and school song. going for lessons or p.e. having gb sometime during the week, chapel on mondays. tuition after school. i've been doing this for the past 10 years, more than half my life. sorry if i seem to not be able to let go of the previous chapter of my life, i'm trying.
hope everyone back home's ok. haha. all the best for the CTs/ mid years! bleagh. exams kind of are not very nice...

happy birthday kaii and melia!
i got smashed in the face with whipped cream. [AGAIN!]
well, i guess i started it by smashing kaii but its her birthday!!! STUPID DADDY AND KOR. i swear i will KILL the both of you when i get my hands on another bottle of whipped cream.
i'm not making any sense am i? ok. this is what happened:
we blindfolded kaii and sang happy birthday to her. so she thought it was the cake in front of her when it was actually me holding a plate of whipped cream with hundreds and thousands sprinkled ontop. when she removed the blindfold, i smashed her face. and out of nowhere and not according to plan AT ALL, daddy and kor smash my face with another plate of whipped cream. to cut a long story short, all of us end up having whipped cream on our faces and clothes.
yes so anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAII. may you be more mature!
happy birthday to melia as well. hey! wow, we're all getting old, eh? hope you'll have a great birthday. you're one step closer to being able to drink and drive. though not at the same time. this is one of the few times that i'm not there to celebrate your birthday with you. i think only God knows how many birthdays we've celebrated. so many memories... miss you loads! love ya!
sigh, everyone's turning 17... i'm still 16. I'M NOT ANCIENT YET! HAHA.
have i done the right thing? i should feel better now that i've told you everything but instead there's this feeling, unfamiliar and strange. i don't know what to term it. i'm trying not to think about it... i just hope you're ok.

grace's 18th
went to queen victoria market again today. i think its becoming a sunday morning ritual... today is grace's birthday so at 12 am we all went to the garage and stood in a circle, each one of us holding a lighted candle [the idea was for her to blow out each candle but the guys kept on relighting theirs] and it was really pretty to see. and i realised that half a year had gone by since i had first known all these really great people. and i had only half a year more with them. i'm definitely going to treasure the next 6 months with them. i hate bonding with people throiough camps or trips and then leaving them after that. which is why i kind of miss everything in singapore, cause i have bonded with everything for such a long time. like mg and gb and friends. yay, i don't have to be seperated from the albert house people just yet.
HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY GRACE! woosh! hope you enjoyed your birthday!

boredom and lack of internet
www.iamsoboredicouldeatahat.com does not exist. however, melissa.com does exist. its a data storage company i think. see how reliable i am??? yes, i was that bored to type in random stuff.
i have a psych lecture tomorrow, which is supposed to make up for the monday one. it sucks, lessons on a saturday...
internet's up now that its been down for 2 days, i think it was a main server thing cause even college square didn't have access... kaii nearly died without her internet. it made no difference to mummy. i was merely bored cause i read the news online as well as all sorts of nonsenses. even now, my internet's a bit screwy. i couldn't get a strong signal from my room so i went to daddy's room and got a signal for a while but then its got screwy again so now i'm in mummy's room.
I WANT TO GO BACK TO NON-SCREWY INTERNET!!!
i miss you guys at home! the 7jam, manda, melia, claire, cell etc...
