Mr Foo asked me over the weekend if I could bring my OLevel art prep boards down on Monday (ystd) to brief sec four stdents for their O Level art this year. To me, speaking to 16students = time for stagefright, but HENG I DIDNT SAY NO HAAAA :D

'COS YSTD WAS ABSOLUTE HAPPINESS. It also meant I get to meet CHER BOONMENG !!


See this? Awww feel the love <3
It just looks and feels the same no matter which part of Singapore this appears.

By the way, Uncle Pang Ah Choy and his Orange Bowl is here in the secondary section!
We decided to be greedy and ordered the $1.60 portion. :D And for drinks, we shared the typical 100plus+ribena ahhh:D

The talk with Art Students was good :D I mean, how can it not be? Everyone was so friendly :D

And I am so glad to see them having two, TWOOOO art teachers (Mr Foo included) !!! :D St Nicks Art yo :D

Told them things they should know, those that we learnt through the hard way in 2006. And HAHAH I remembered to add, "Jiayou!!!" at the end of my very informal speech hahahaha.

Well, actually Boon and I reached really early to have lunch and buy St Nicks PE shirts and shorts that we had time to walk about :D
The school compound is actually VERY PRETTY. When we first approached the building, we were like "huh."
But slowly, after walking around, seeing Mrs Goh, Miss Poore and some teachers, and gradually soaking up the surroundings, we realised it was.....actually very St Nicks
With the white walls and blue doors and ledges! And a lot of things were shifted over. Clocks (yes, in classrooms), lockers, garden benches, statues, you name it!


"Boon's Class" HA. Though not technically so, since it's a new campus hahaha.


Ahh 3 Justice! :D

And...4 Justice! :D :D
HAHAH we secretly took a photo of our favourite Janitor Uncle with the curly hair.
And drink stall Normal Mo (There's Uncle Mobeen, whom Boon and I name the Real Mo, the middle-aged guy--he's Normal Mo, and the youngest guy, he's New Mo! ) remembered us!!!
We made a 2nd trip to the canteen for some cookies after the session with the art students and met Normal Mo again when he said, "When you all have time, do come back here. Especially when you girls return, it's so nice to see familiar faces once in a while. Does the heart good."

Aiyohhh :D:D:D
And we left really happily. Somehow both Boon and I thought coming to this campus was like visiting the old St Nicks. It felt EXACTLY THE SAME.
Afterwhich we went town and got some notebooks and ate lot.
Today is stay home day! (:

I heard something funny today:
"New year? What's so new about it?! Every year is also a new year!!"

Ohhhh I find such exclamations of opinions so funny :D:D I know what he meant cos it was not said in a sneering way but just in a heh?!??! way.
So anyway, Happy 2010 my friends :D (and all earthlings following the same calendar!) Today's like the 3rd already but it's still not too late la huh 'cos we're still in the first week and the excitement's still the air!!
Study & work hard everyone, keep healthy and stop wasting resources ! (:


Cause youre gonna skip along,
Quite merrily, baby.

For the month of December, because it was Exams + Holidays + Genting + Christmas and A Lot of Meetups, it has been really hectic.

! 29th, Tablemates outing plus Nessa's Boyfriend :D
We played pool and bowling and looked stupid together and had so much hysterical fun wheee

! 28th, A mini-meeting with Haowen :D
It was damn short, but I guess I'm seeing her soon (next week!!) so it's okay! Anyway she had Badminton training so it SHOULD BE short.

! 27th, Celebration with UB OGers i.e. Lecturemates :D:D



! Christmas Eve, Outing with my Jiejie and Mum :D
We had superb lunch at Watami @ ION. Watami is super good. We especially loved their Chocolate Banana pudding and their Scallops!




! 23rd afternoon, Meetup with Tablemates <3


Xian's polaroid Camera rocks :D


We became Ah Lians and Stupids together that day.:D:D Gift machines cheated our money hahahah! But at least we've got identical BigBird phone accessories now! (it's hanging on my phone now :D) Pool by the Noobs was fun too hahahaha. Seriously we worked magic by agreeing "Not to try, but just to Whack", and we actually got quite a lot of balls in. (White ball included HAHA secret joke) HAHAHA oh I love you two Tablemates :D:D

! 23rd Morning, Drove to Ngee Ann again and bought the books!
Starting to like our driving practices. :D
(I wonder...who dares to sit in the car I'm driving hur hur. Xian lovingly said she'd dare to, so touched hahahah. But I'm a conscientious driver; I dont speed and I check blindspots dilligently okay!)
!21st, sister and I decided to go car-driving-practising and drove our dad's car to Ngee Ann.
Bookshop closed -.- We ended up buying a hotdog bun and honey milk bubbletea instead and went home.
Then in the afternoon, our family brought 大姨 (Popo's sister) from Hong Kong and Popo out to town to soak up the festive mood.






! 20th, Afternoon, Reunion of the T11ers.
It turned out to be teeny weeny Reunion, but it's okay, it was still fun <3
! 20th Morning, SPCA, still as lovely as ever <3
Puppies suddenly loomed in large numbers! So y'know what la :D Poop came in horrific amounts too. Like not neat, cute swirly piles. It's lao sai-style -.- They're still bundles of joy nevertheless! Going there this Sunday :D:D:D
! 19th, Christmas descended early on us Fencers :D
Well actually...I never expected that we would continue to have gatherings like these even after JC.
But, we did. :D And I think these small afternoons or evenings together have been very fun and heartwarming in a weird way hahaha. Cos actually to tell the truth some of us have nothing absolutely in common (just that we fenced. But some of us don't even do that now) and yet we get along perfectly fine. There are some awkward moments of silences but I guess they can be pretty cute since someone would just make a silly comment and everything looks up fine again :D



! 18th Night, I met up with My Jiejie
Night Shopping is crazy. Everyone's in town and the whole place's messy. But I like :D I like the crowded fuzzy feeling actually :D And the pretty X'mas lights were so damn mesmerizing lah !
! 18th Afternoon, Reunion of Clarabelle Xinying and Aiming :D
Although we didnt take any photos for momentos, it's okay lah, i'll always remember face of Pee Queen and my Lijun! Take Care in Australia Clarabelle Ong Li Jun! And Xinying, I wish you all the best for application :D

! 17th, LENKA with Haowennnnn!! :D

It was originally supposed to start at 8pm, but we reached and joined the queue outside at only 8.10! So we were slightly and nonchalantly kanchiong (oh the contradiction) queueing outside suspicious if it had already started inside.
Anyway, turns out that it started only at 8.30pm and we stepped into Zirca nicely at that time :D :D :D
OMG THE GRAPHICS WERE GORGEOUS. And her voice was like....unbelievable. It had that kind of heavenly resonating effect that hits its way into your heart and gives you goosebumps.
I loved Skipalong, Trouble is a Friend and her remake of Friday I'm in Love (original's by the The Cure, go listen to it here! ):D The Show was good of course :D
Never regretted a minute of it :D She sounds so much much much better live.
After that we had a happy tour around town.
P.S. Haowen finish sending me those photos!!!




! 16th, Outing with the Tays! :D

We explored FOUR-LEVELLED FOREVER21 IN 313 & IT WAS DAMN EXCITING OMG. Thanks to dear Pearleen, now we're avid fans of f21 too! Hahah.
! 13-15th, Genting with Jiejie, Grandma, Aunt, PingPing and Meiling :D
Basically, it was R&R. :D
Day One; on Grassland Coach


Outside Starbucks while waiting for Pingping and Aunt to check in.
First night in our First World hotelroom! My sister and I shared a room joined with Grandma and Aunt, while my two cousins took another room 2 rooms down :D
Day Two:

We woke up really early so we could go for the Breakfast Buffet early :D I tell you, it was super therapeutic, the view outside from our hotel lift area!
And people, this is my Grandma and the Chrismtas decors :D
Sister and Pingping :D (Okay she's actually Hui Ping :D)
At the steamboat place that was damn cheap :D:D SGD 9++ !
Day Three:

Arty Farty shot by my sister of Genting's morning sky :D The tracks are those of the themepark!

Sister and Grandma
My aunt and I

My aunt and my sister


This was the view from our hotel lift area! (4th level)

And so we left Genting on the 15th :D It was a good trip :D
And before all these, 8th-11th was exams. So I guess I can remember all I did was studying and more studying.
It's been a good month people! I hope everyone celebrated Christmas well and enjoyed their holidays:D Take care everyone!
Loves,
Ming

I can't, I can't, I can't wait for Friday.
I can't wait to torch all my notes on that day. (Ok no. Knowing myself, I'll put them back on the shelves nicely :D )

Today Aiming feels very buoyant and enthusiastic. All out to conquer her COM 101. And perhaps some PSY 101 and MUS 116 too. SPCA today was good; but I missed Belinda and Elynn. Lunch was good, my grandma's porridge is always good. And I am sure today will be good, studying will be good. Aiming will be good.

STUDY!!! :)))
