sister's 21st

my present for my sis:
spent really a long time scrapbooking. and i've got her friends to write their wishes for her secretly. it was a successful surprise =D want to thank all of them, esp yiwei, royden (and girlfriend) and oliver. okay, when i met oliver to get the paper from him, i found it really strange why i don't see him carrying any plastic bag to store the paper. and guess what, the next thing he did was to get it out from his bag. i was like HUH. how could u put it in la! shall not say him, later he will say that i'm ungrateful. ha.













these are for her guests to sign:






the party. i'm so glad i had my prom dress. saved the trouble of getting a dress for the occasion.



i helped to get the guests to sign the guestbook. look at my pretty twin nieces. they are so cute u know. the one on the right won the best penmanship award in sch, while the other won some best pupil award. and they thought it was my birthday. hahha, one came running to me and said, "aunty leona, happy birthday" HAHA. love them to bits.

the food was great.




messages from the guests:







oh my, this is funny. look at the bottom line.


her nus friends got her a longchamp bag. nice.



and v nice of daniel to give my sis the medal he won for the inter-fac games. and he told my sis that he [biz fac] trashed engin. HAHA.


it was quite fun interacting with my sis friends. after all, they are mostly my seniors. they really made chem eng sound scary. =/

yup, really want to wish my sis a very happy 21st birthday [ her actual birthday is today]. LOVE U <3 <3 <3

UPDATES

i have lots to say... [don't read unless u have time to listen to me rant]

i just ended my mid-terms unoffically[cause there's still german]. LIKE FINALLY. ok, its prob too much of an exaggeration to say FINALLY. cause i had 3 papers which lasted for 2 days. HA, 2 days only. but trust me, its really mentally draining. basically because the papers were super crammed. last sat evening i had MLE [taking a paper on a weekend evening, can u believe it]. then today [monday] i had econs and maths. both in the evening. both at the same venue, for me. could just rot in MPSH 1 for hours u know.

i didn't have much time to prepare for the papers [with all the f1 race, tuition and driving lessons, i guess its understandable why i had no time]. went to sch early to chiong my last min revision for econs and maths this morning. and my day only ended at 9.30PM [pens down for maths]. wah, come to think about it, i actually spent around 14 hours in sch. totally shagged. but really grateful to seamus who drove me home. taking his car home was a real relief=D seamus kept making me laugh with his driving tips. he says that he park -whether vertical or parallel, by "FEEL". ... HAHAH, ok, so much for learning where's the sighting points for parking during my driving lessons (i'm currently learning parking, which means soon i can book my test. yay.)[talking about driving, i thought it was really a coincidence to meet john at the driving centre on friday.]

i feel disappointed about my econs paper [not saying that MLE and maths were ok]. the mcq wasn't easy. lots of manipulation for the calculation questions. tricky questions and answers. its like A)__________; B)_____________; C)_______________;D) B and C; E) all of the above. i was like WTH [haha ok, doesn't sound like me to say this. guess its a little too much influence from the guys and i just need to let some feelings out]. i'm not really feeling that bad as i may sound, just a little hmm... upset and frustrated. shall not fret over it. i'll just TRY to be positive.

i was looking forward to the end of today cause tmr i'm not going sch. wed's holiday. thurs - prob i'm self-declaring a holiday cause there's only 1hr maths and prob make-up for german. so back to sch on fri. HA, 2 sch days for me this week. but i realised that my german mid-term paper is next week. SO FAST. cannot have too long a break cause there's lots to study.

german is really getting v intensive. a friend of mine [who's learning french], said that what he's learning now in french is what he learnt in english during kindergarten. how true is that man. today i just learnt how to read the time on the clock in german. so difficult la. all the half-past six, 12.02, 17.56 crap. haha.

the f1 race was really cool. dad went down for the friday qualifying. my sis (and i) got him the grandstand ticket as his birthday present [he loves f1 u see, and it seems that i'm getting influenced too]. i didn't go - no time + no ticket. but i watched the telecast last night (the whole race). think that the race was really v exciting. how could someone miss seeing Raikkonen crashed during the final fourth lap and how the fueling hose (or whatever u call that) stuck to massa's ferrari when he moved off from the pit-stop. its so scary! and my sis and i realised that raikkonen is good-looking. hamilton's not bad too. hee.

tuesday
today was v hectic. after going toa payoh to get some stuff done, i had driving and oh my, driving was really bad today =( =( =( sigh, i guess some instructors really make me feel v lousy. i need encouragement, please.

and i had tuition later. my tutee is really v funny la.
Tutee: teacher, u still have any papers?
Me: yup got german next week.
Tutee: ok... if u do well, i'll buy u a lollipop.
Me: ..... erm, HAHA ok.

she's sec 4 (taking o levels soon) and she's really sweet. such a tutee really makes teaching tuition a joy.

REALLY LOVE THE NEW SONG BY JAY =D
让自己快乐快乐这才叫做意义

《稻 香》 词:周杰伦 曲:周杰伦
  对这个世界如果你有太多的抱怨
  跌倒了就不敢继续往前走
  为什么人要这么的脆弱 堕落
  请你打开电视看看
  多少人为生命在努力勇敢的走下去
  我们是不是该知足

  珍惜一切 就算没有拥有
  还记得你说家是唯一的城堡 随着稻香河流继续奔跑
  微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
  不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑 乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
  回家吧 回到最初的美好
  不要这么容易就想放弃 就像我说的
  追不到的梦想 换个梦不就得了
  为自己的人生鲜艳上色 先把爱涂上喜欢的颜色
  笑一个吧 功成名就不是目的

  让自己快乐快乐这才叫做意义
  童年的纸飞机 现在终于飞回我手里
  所谓的那快乐 赤脚在田里追蜻蜓追到累了
  偷摘水果被蜜蜂给叮到怕了 谁在偷笑呢
  我靠着稻草人吹着风唱着歌睡着了
  哦 哦 午后吉它在虫鸣中更清脆

  哦 哦 阳光洒在路上就不怕心碎
  珍惜一切 就算没有拥有
  还记得你说家是唯一的城堡 随着稻香河流继续奔跑

*will update about my sis party soon =D

last week...

i made this invitation for my sis so she can send it out to her friends. so those who have received, please reply quickly!


my sis's party is coming up so i guess that's why i feel busy. cause i'm TRYING to help her to prepare. i'm really trying ok! and there's her special present too. =/ hopefully it'll be ready by her party.

last week was the non-shuyi week =( [cause shuyi joins yuanqi and me for lunch only on alternate thurs.] i really love lunching with her =D we love talking about _______ and i was super shocked that she and _________ became friends! OH MY. anyway, i went for NUSCO pract on thurs. my first time attending pract. just wanted to see around first but in the end i still filled in the application form. it was really cool that mr lee and mr wong still recognise us. mr lee still is so MR LEE. reminds me of our days in NJCO when we were under him. =x and mr lee wants kahyan and me to join the combined pract on saturdays. SO SCARY!! but i have to say that i really miss playing the cello=D oh my, i felt really bad cause mr lee told this [new] girl that her fingers were too short and they weren't suitable to play the cello. then he asked me to show her my fingers [cause he wanted to show her that others had longer fingers], but mine was obviously shorter la! so i didn't show. =/ hope that mr lee lets her stay!

i've watched jay's interview on cnn. haha, quite funny. and i managed to see his [batman] car. SUPER NICE la. and that reminds me, i've got to finish up my driving lessons or i can't book my practical test. i finally had my auto-transmission lesson last wed night [vision at night is really bad for driving]. yar, have to agree that auto car is like a toy car. manual is more fun -ha, all the fun about stalling the engine and rolling on slopes =x

i've got german test this week. good luck to me!

hmmm.

OH MY, my internet connection is really bad. i think its because of the telephone line that is linked to my router/modem. keep signing out of msn. i can get quite irritated with this, so can just imagine how irritated the other party gets. anyway, i'm always appearing offline when i'm online so if there's anything, can just pm me.

I MISS MY LAO GONG SO MUCHHH! supposed to meet last wed, but couldn't contact my lao gong cause her hp was sent for repair. ok lar, i think i miss everyone over at ntu. please please come and visit the people at nus!

i'm getting kind of stressed up. lots of tutorials, and have to hand in graded assignments, loads of german hw (people like sean and yuanqi will understand, cause i'm always doing german stuff when we r together), preparation of presents and driving lessons to chiong etc. tuition lessons really burn out my weekends. but i quite enjoy giving tuition, so i shall not complain.

i was clearing my sms-es when i saw this quite recent message, and realised i misinterpreted it and misunderstood that person. and now i think of it, my reply must have sounded really weird/irrelevant/mean and i guess that's why i didn't receive any reply. oops. and i know this person reads my blog, so i would like to say sorry (if case u know who u are).

疼爱 by 萧敬腾 is really a nice song. the lyrics sound really sad - 我沉默 不代表我不痛
我不痛 眼淚就不會流 - (it describes how i've been feeling) but it has a catchy tune. i love 萧敬腾. hee.

yy is leaving tmr for uk. i'll miss her! =(
