Voices That Care

Suddenly, I feel super sad today. Especially after I read Nat's blog. Sir left. And with the song. Wah.. can cry already man.

I miss so many people. I miss Jaclyn. Like suddenly, one day, I'd think of her. Then from there, I'd start to think of all my best friends, like Zhongwei, Xue Yun, Cindy, Judith, Amanda and Melissa. Also miss Zhige even though we're in the same school, cuz we're in different courses. It was so fun going out together, watching movie, exchanging presents. Sigh..

And I super miss my juniors!! Like Natalie and Diyanah and Delanie! Miss them so much. I miss the band days when me and Nat will be like crapping and laughing at Diyanah. I want to repeat Arts Alive!! again. And now Sir's gone. Feel like crying suddenly.

And Sharifah! Miss her so much also! She's so fun to be with and we have so much stuff to talk about. And not forgetting the three months people in 05S7, like Shikin, Q, Azfar, Hafiz, Nabilah, Grace, Siew Ling, Moo. Slacking all the way. Miss playing pool with Azfar and Hafiz man.

The memories are all rushing back. These people I mentioned are so special to me. They're the best, made my stay in SAC and MI very pleasant and fun. I'm super lucky to have known them. I wish one day all of us can meet at one time. Best day that would be.

Stand tall, stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

I miss you guys!

Ouch!

No mood today. Well actually not today. Just a few minutes ago. Yea, so today's entry is going to sound dead. Enjoy.

Saturday, 21st
My mom left for KL with her sisters a.k.a my aunt and their mother a.k.a my grandmother. It's a belated Mothers' Day treat for them mothers from my dad.

Sunday, 22nd
Went out to eat for lunch/dinner with the rest of the family (dad and sisters). Then went to this religious talk thingy. I didn't know that was planned so I was dressed inappropriately (if there's such a word). Super boring/tiring but this one speaker was funny. Then there was a performance by the orphans. Cried. But overall, I didn't enjoy it. Plus I learnt a lesson that day. I learnt that I can't stand staying home with only my dad. He's so hard-headed (or is it strong-headed?) and he makes me so frustrated.

Monday, 23rd
Went to the beach. I was supposed to go for this Frozone outing but, yea, my mom wasn't home yet, only my dad (and my sisters).. why don't you guess the rest, ok? Argh!! So I played with the sand and sea water. Wrote stuff in the sand. Then sat on dry sand and let my mind wander. I think I had a feeling of nostalgia. The sky that day was nice. One side was very dark blue and gloomy-looking and i think i saw a lightning. The other side was super sunny. Really. The same day at the same time. Went home around 4pm. Fell asleep at 5pm. Didn't hear my mom come home. But saw her when I woke up at 11pm (i think) to answer the phone. Lots of messages and missed calls. Decided to reply them cuz i thought they were important-all about the next day, the start of school.

Tuesday, 24th
Hellooo school! I was there for only 3 hours. By right, my class didn't have to come to school that day. The 3-hour lesson is only for even weeks. This week is odd. So that means, I'll be at home every odd-week-tuesday. Well, so we came, but didn't do that much. Then went to eat lunch with friends at the canteen. Saw so many friends I made from the camps. Miss them. After lunch, went to the bookshop near the Atrium to buy our books. One was a dictionary (not an ordinary dictionary) which was quite small and not that heavy. The other two books more than make up for the dictionary's weight. They were super huge and super thick and super super heavy textbooks! The plastic bag I used to carry the darn books already had holes at the corners by the time i reached the bus stop outside the school. I didn't think I could survive with the books taking a bus, then a train and then another bus so I took a cab. I could so see my money fly out my wallet to the driver's hand. Heartache.

Got home. Mom was home with my 5-year-old sister. We went out and ate at Burger King. Then we went shopping. I bought almost $200 worth of clothes. That's the consequence of going to poly. Anyway, I have more nice clothes now. Then I bought a pair of shoes. And materials for Project DOE. Mom just bought programs for the computer. Went home and arranged my wardrobe.

Then flipped through my new textbooks. There's a lot of pictures inside. Interesting. Really. Being a nurse is so going to be interesting.

TODAY
I was dressed totally different to school today. Some hardly recognized me but I received compliments. Thanks people. So school today was ok. Had lectures about psychology first thing. The lecturer's "a little bit obese", as he would like to say it. He's very funny and open and nice. Then tutorial with him. My class only has 17 people. The smallest class. Cool. Then we had our break. Ate at the restaurant at Singapore Institute of Management. *Hear the crowd go 'Waahhh!* Hahah. The food was yummy. Then I saw a TV talk show host. Cool.

Next up was this class that teaches us skills, i think. We learnt about body-something or other. Learnt how to balance ourselves or position ourselves the right way when trying to lift or carry a patient on the hospital bed. The room is like a hospital room. There were hospital beds with the bed sheet, blanket, the side railings, the 'tray', the remote control for making the bed go higher or lower, the works, you know. And there were dummies on every bed. They're the kind of dummies that really resemble human bodies. So the head, the wrists, the knees, the ankles, every thing that a human body's able to move, the dummies can too. We were taught how to change the linens with a patient on it. It was kinda difficult to do. And that's where the body mechanics stuff we learnt comes in. We had to lift the patient to the side or whatever. So we actually had a real life person (Nisa) on the bed instead of a dummy. And this girl and I were supposed to carry the dummy to another bed so Nisa can get into the bed. The dummy was super heavy!! I had trouble lifting the thing. So i kinda looked awkward and funny and clumsy. Hahah! Everyone else were laughing. Hahaha! Super funny.

Next was another lecture about the history of nursing. The only thing that i can really remember from that lecture is Florence Nightingale! Hahah. Nice.

After that, school ends for the day. By that time, my feet were hurting badly. I had blisters and my toes were squashed. Stupid shoes. It's not too small for me. It's actually quite loose. But I 'tahan' the pain the whole day. I'm a survivor. Yay.

Got home, read something online, and my mood turned black. I'm sick of him doing this to me. Argh! But I talked to Sharifah! Yay-ness! So I'm cheered up a little.

Ooh! Someone ordered Pizza!!

*Rush off* Eat my dust!

I woke up at 3pm yesterday
(*clap* Sloth!)

Yup! Featuring Somebody Told Me by The Killers. Love the song. Singer ain't bad looking either.

Today woke up earlier. Caught Growing Up Gotti and Simple Life 2 before doing the housework. Ate. Used the computer.

I've been receiving so many text messages. Most I don't know from who since I didn't ask and save their numbers.

I've got plans for Sunday and Monday. Not sure if I'm going. Sunday, 2 plans. One's with Shikin and gang to go canoeing. The other's outing with SU FOC camp people at Sentosa. *blank look* How to attend both sia. On Monday, outing with Frozone people from LSCT FOC camp at Sentosa. Might as well stay over at Sentosa. Shall go ask my parents.

Anyway, rushing through now. Need to shower before going out for dinner.

Enjoy the video!!

LSCT Freshmen Orientation Camp


Just came back from LSCT FOC camp this afternoon. I'm feeling pretty tired right now but let's just blog first ok.


The camp was for 3 days and 2 nights. It was quite fun. The games were really wet and dirty. But extremely fun. Stings and stinks a little. No wait. Stings a little but stinks a lot! It stung because I got scratches on my knees from crawling very quickly on very muddy, very wet, very sandy canvas on the ground. All the friction and abrasions. I was kinda worried that the mud water would get into my eyes and spoil my contact lenses or something. Well just crawling wouldn't really get muddy water into my eyes or mouth. But there were GLs everywhere throwing muddy water bombs at us while we're crawling. So all the way I was squinting and shutting my mouth until I finished that section which was called "Milky Way". Then the whole day we got wet again and again from hoses and games with water and water bombs. Slept at 2 something in the morning. And it was COLD! It felt like the air-con was blowing at full blast. I could actually feel myself shivering while I was sleeping. I almost pee-ed.


Woke up at 8 the next day. Or was it 7? Whatever. Found out my time had come. I was like "What the.. Not now!" So, so sad right. The whole day there were games, wet and dirty games but me and some other girls couldn't play. Missed out some of the fun. We were really high on the second day, by the way. Cheered really loudly. Then in the evening, after the shower, we, the Frozones (our group name), prepared for the performance we'd have to put up that night. We did commercials. One was the Gatsby commercial where there's this "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hair.." song. Most of the guys were the Gatsby people. I was one too since my hair could be styled with wax and wax clay. I was the only girl doing the Gatsby thing. Actually there was another girl doing it too but she was sick and had to go home. Yup, so my hair was styled by Kam! Wax and clay were dunked onto my head. And she styled it. She tried doing this "horns" on top of my head but my hair were too long so it kinda didn't stand. The guys hair were super nice! Thorns, horns and antennae. Super cool! Hahah! See the photos. The next commercial was McDonald's. The one about the paycheck thingy. Super nice too when the guys stacked on top of each other to represent the burger which costs $1.95. Hahah! After the commercials, we did a song dedication. Overall, our performance went very well.


After that we had the night walk. There's always night walk for every camp. Well, this night walk, during the pre-night walk, I was already freaking out cuz Roy (our GL) told stories about the school. I had goosebumbs the whole time. Then when I found out we had to go walk alone, I freaked! I made up my mind not to go through it. But Roy kept saying we have to go and I started crying. Hahah. No one knew la. Hahah. Then, thank God, the SGL said we're going in pairs. I was relieved beyond anything. My partner was Ervia! Closest to her in the group. Oh, oh! We have the same taste in guys! Hahah! It's like when she asked me who's the two cutest guys in our group, I told her and she started laughing in disbelief. She got the same two guys as me. Hahah. So anyway, we had to wait for hours before we went through the night walk. It took super long la. Waited until I couldn't keep my eyes open. It's like we had to wait for a couple to go and wait for a while before the next one goes. Ervia and me waited so long ok. We fell asleep on the cold, tiled floor waiting for our turn. It was not until 4 in the morning when we were finally able to go. Then, suddenly, I was wide awake. The stupid scary stories crept back into my head. It was totally dark and there were things lying around on the floor that we can't step on and everything. Then we had to walk along the corridor of classes. All the way I was looking on the ground. No way was I going to look around and suddenly see something in the window or something. Anyway, there were people hiding around scaring us and we screamed at everything. When it was over we had to wait some more and finally we got back to our bunk at 6 in the morning. So we only had like 2 hours of sleep. Super tired man.


Next day, the last day, we gathered in the LT and did some stuff. Like dancing and cheering and singing and everything. There were photo taking also and everyone started crying. Cuz we're like going to miss each other. I tried not to cry but at the end, when we gathered into our groups and said stuff like "Thanks GLs, you were the best, caring for us" and "I'm glad to meet you guys, I had fun, we're really got closer", I started crying ok! The guys and GLs cried also. It was like so touching. Then we hugged here and there. Then we were dismissed.


Wow, the entry's super long! And I have to stop with the 'super' thing. I keep saying super this, super that these few days. Gonna go sleep now. Desperately need rest.

A Day at the Beach


Was asked out today by Shikin. We went to East Coast beach. Arrived damned late. I was getting so excited when I was told Azfar was there. But, unfortunately, we arrived so late, he went off already. Was really bummed out sia. Missed him much.


Anyway, I had to first meet Shikin at the interchange. She hardly recognizes me. That's cuz I look quite different since the last time they saw me. Hahah oh well. It's a good change. Not to brag and all, but even my neighbour complimented me. Interesting.


So stuff happened before we reached the beach. Walked a lot before we got to see Haiqal. He looks the same only now he wears spectacles. Usually he takes them off. So anyway, we went to eat at McDonalds. I only had a drink since I didn't feel all that hungry.


Next off, we went to rent bicycles. Haiqal and Shikin was able to decide on what they wanted to rent: Bicycles or Roller Blades. I, however, had quite a difficult time deciding. I wanted blades cuz i want to learn how to use it and it looks really fun. But then, I saw this guy fall on his hide! So I was like, Oookayy.. Bikes. And Haiqal was like, Message from God? Hahah. So bicycle it was. I can't remember the last time I rode a bike. So when I got it, it was like, hey, why's the wheels so huge? And I had a difficult time manoeuvring the bike out of the rental shop. And when I got on it, I was tip-toeing. My toes hardly even touch the ground! But after a while I got the hang of it. And I sped! Was so fun. The wind was blowing my hair back. It's so nice. Along the way, we saw a LOT of people blading falling. Oh well, sooner or later, I still have to try.


Then called Azfar with Shikin's phone to find out where he's at. But he didn't pick up the phone. So we left, except Haiqal who's staying at a chalet there. In the bus I received a call from Azfar! Hahah. Whatever right. First time talking to him on the phone and since like so long. So I was excited. Talked. Found out that he went kayak-ing (no wonder he didn't pick up the phone). Then when it was our stop, I still had the phone to my ear with one hand and my jacket and bag in the other. So I kinda stood up before the bus properly stopped. And yea, I 'fell'. Luckily not on the ground but fell back into a seat. It was embarrassing! So then we ended our conversation. Made plans for next weekend. We're going canoeing! Please let Azfar come.


Got home, mom bought my favourite noodles. Ate it while watching Aladdin: Return of Jaffar on Disney Channel. Very nice.


So now, I'm hearing lightning and thunder.


Fun day today! Got to meet Haiqal and Shikin, closest friends in MI plus got to talk to Azfar on the phone! Life is goood!


PS I swear there's something going on between Shikin and Haiqal. I know there is.

Project DOE-Under Construction


Hoo-rah! I've got a new modem for the computer today. The old one was really f**ked up. Kept loosing connection. So now that i've got a new one, it won't create problems for me. Not for a long, long time.


To those who haven't noticed, today's Friday the 13th. Not that I actually believe in these superstitious stuff but.. whatever. No bad luck happened to me today. In fact, it's been a good day. Today, I did housework, without a grudge. And nobody asked me to do them so it's like a plus point. It was good exercise anyway. Then I started on my project DOE. Hahah. It's turning out quite nicely. Cool.


Anyway, let's rewind a few days back in my life. On Saturday the 7th, I had an interview with the National Health Group. It was about this Bursary stuff I applied for. Doubt I'll get it. I kinda panicked a little and forgot things i wanted to say. So to make up for it, I kinda acted all sweet and smiled a lot and being too damned polite, hoping the person will take me. What-ever! Made a new friend while waiting for my turn. I make friends quickly, I realized. She's from Ngee Ann too. After a while, saw another friend I made in school. But because of this interview, I couldn't go for the Trojan 4 outing. Bleargh!


Then, I started to lose my voice. I became really ill the next day, which was Mothers' Day. Yay! I went for my Sunday class, where I began to sniffle a lot. After the class ended, I went to a cake shop and bought a Mothers' Day cake for my mum. It was Y-U-M! Hugged and kissed my mom and my sis sang Happy Mothers' Day to the tune of the Happy Birthday song. Cool.


Next day, Monday, woke up with the worse sore throat ever. Oh and since Sunday till sometime on Tuesday, I used a lot of tissue paper. Hate being ill.


Wednesday, felt a little better. Throat kinda 'itches'. And I started finding materials for my project.


Thursday, went for Convention Day at Ngee Ann. Super cool! Saw GLs from FOC camp. Saw lots of friends. Watched lots of performances by different CCAs. Best one was this dance performance by NRA. They were awesome! Starting to feel really glad and pleased in having Ngee Ann poly as my school. Proud of it! So anyway, gonna have to choose a CCA. Thinking of joining ice skating. *eyes twinkling* After that, Shuning, Noel and I decided to window shop/shop at Bugis for a while before heading home. I bought materials for my project. Very cool. Went to Watsons to help Shuning out in choosing basic make up. Fun. It was a good day. I was dressed totally gor-geous! Hahah self praise.


So back to today. Said most about today at the beginning of this entry. Oh and my sis is behaving quite good today. It's weird, today. I mean, I was SO hardworking, doing all the housework, my sis is studying and not making mess of the house. Well, I wouldn't let her. Not after.. everything. And all of us didn't make our parents angry or make them nag at us. Neat! And now mom's giving us a treat by cooking up stuff for us. Weird day, today.


Gonna have to pack my stuff for another camp soon. I hope I enjoy this camp as well.


Ta-rah!

The Keys To My Heart


You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.


In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.


You'd like your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.


You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.


Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.


Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.


You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.


In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.


What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Students' Union Freshmen Orientation Camp


TROJAN OI!!
OI!!
TROJAN OI!!
OI!!
TROJAN OI!!
PEACE UP, 'A' DOWN!!!


YAYYY!!!


Right now, my voice, doesn't sound like my voice. I've lost my voice due to the yelling and screaming and shouting and cheering, supporting my one and only group, TROJAN!!! Yeah! We so rock!


Yup, I just got back from my Freshman Orientation Camp. The best camp I've attended so far. Really, I absolutely love the camp, the group leaders, the activities, the people i made friends with, the cheers, the dance!!


There're so much to talk about.


1st Day
-'Happy Hour'. It's a night walk. First, we were led into an LT where we watched the movie, 'Shutter', which I didn't get to see till finish. Then before we were paired off, one by one, to go for our walk around the school in the dark, the leaders warned us about stuff like, don't walk in odd numbers, don't walk on drains, if you hear your name being called out or feel a tap, don't turn around. I don't know if they were just trying to scare us but they seemed pretty serious. I mean, when i was paired off with this guy in my group, our leader kept telling him to 'take care' of me. Like i'm so fragile or something. Hahah! But, yea, my partner did a great job protecting me, held my hands and go in front of me first so i won't get the fright first. Well, all in all, the walk was great. I screamed most of the time. Hahah! Silly me.


2nd Day
-'Waterfall'. The slope of a hill in this field (ME Field) is covered with canvas. The station masters wet it and we had to climb to the top of the hill and get wet when the leaders pour water on you (soaked through). Then you slide down! Very fast and thrilling!
-'Station Games'. Absolute fun! Lots and lots of really great games.


3rd Day
-'Night Club'. The huge sports hall, where we sleep, were made into a night club! The lights were out. There were a few small disco balls and lots of light sticks. And LOUD, FAST dancing music. Super nice! Dance the night through which was awesome. Omg, they're playing one of the songs on the radio right now! Hahah. After the dancing were done, there was no 'Lights Out' since it's the last night. I would have gone to sleep, only that it has been a tradition that the GLs will sabotage the freshies. Meaning that when the freshies sleep, the GLs will draw on them (the freshies) with markers and cover them with toothpaste and whatever stuff they can get their hands on. Such as McDonald's chilli and curry sauce. Hahah! I didn't sleep but I did got drawn on. On my arm by a GL of another group, Argives. Hahah! It's pretty cool.


4th Day
-Cheered a lot. Hugged lots of people. Sad ah. Took pictures of Cute Bryan, one of Trojan's GLs! I hugged him too. He's very nice. Anyway, it was sad leaving. Then all the way home, I've been hearing cheers. I was like, ok i'm going insane. I've cheers in my head. I hear people calling out TROJANS, TROJANS, TROJANS!! Hahaha Super weird and scary.


And for all days, it was excellent doing the cheers and yelling and screaming and laughing at the tops of my lungs. Super man! And the friends i made.. amazing! A lot of great stuff happened. Too lazy to think of them and typing this already super long entry. And my eyes are drawing close. I need sleep!!! I almost missed my stop in the train today when i fell asleep. But Heikal woke me up. Felt so blur after that. Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!


BOOM chika waka chika waka chika BOOM!!
We found a note in the corner of the ROOM!!
It says that TROJAN will lead you to your DOOM!!
BOOM chika waka chika waka chika waaaaaaaaa.....
