27th( Thurs)

Really really tiring day at Isetan Scotts. There was a private sale for Isetan members only, and things were going really cheap, so the kiasu-ness of singaporeans instigated them all to flock to the Isetan scotts to get their items before they lose out.
Had to wake up at around 6 and took an mrt to orchard to meet up with Leckhui Mengsiew and some other people who were supposed to work at Isetan on that day.
Well, our main job there was to clear plastics or sort out unwanted merchandise. For me, I had to run around between 4th level and 1st to get the plastic bags people used, and return it back to 1st lvl to be reused by more customers coming into Isetan. That wasnt the worst. The worst part was that we had to look at the customer's black faces. And just because I just left the plastic bags i was gathering in order to help my friend find her purse, I got scolded by some supervisor for blocking the way. Of course i wasnt happy. It's like, after you run up and down 4 storeys, you still have to get scolded by some uncaring pple. So I was frowning when the supervisor scolded me, and he was like ' Smile ley.' Rahh. And just when we thought that we were going to end work at 10, some colleagues told us we have to fold the plastic bags nicely before we go off. Folding plastic bags is easy, but imagine folding around a few hundred plastic bags or even more? We thought we couldnt even complete the job cause the plastic bags look really, never ending.
Throughout the entire day, all of us didnt get to sit other than during lunch breaks. So by the time i got home, my legs were really aching. Slept like a log when i reached home lol.

28th( Friday)
Went for training though i was really tired cause i told some of them that i will be going. It was very rush so i didnt manage to ask my parent's about the sleepover at Yuanhui's house. So while almost all the team went to yuanhui's house right after training, i went home to pack my stuff and seek my parent's permission.
Only reached yuanhui's house at around 8 and ate a little of the barbequed food. Some of us played on the swings and chatted with one another for a looong time. Some pple who werent staying over left the condo while Yuanhui, Leckqi, Hannah, Regina, Yuzhi, Leckhui, Yizhuang and I went up to her house to play cards and stuff. Oh yeah, and i spent like around half an hour trying to fix yuanhui's mouse and keyboard sensor but to no avail. We were getting quite bored and thirsty for bacardi and sparkling juice so Yuzhi, Hannah Yuanhui and I went out at around 2 plus am and walked to the seven eleven near the main gate of our school to buy bacardi. Of course, since yuzhi was of age, she helped us to purchase the alcoholic drinks. Walked a looong way back to yuanhui's house again and we watched Secret while drinking for fun. I think i drank too fast or i was sensitive to the alcohol cause i turned like really red( that's what Leckhui and other's said) after gulping down the whole bottle of bacardi. Haha, then everyone was like asking me whether i was drunk. I didnt feel really drunk but i was feeling hot all over , haha.
When we finished watching the movie, Leckhui Leckqi and Regina went to sleep while the rest of us played Seven level Pig and Minimize until 7 plus am, We were like really really tired so we went to sleep, but i think i was the only one among them who slept. But i just manage to catch a wink before we had to wake up at 8am. Yizhuang went home to get ready for work while Yuanhui and Hannah went to find jyening at her dentist's. So the rest of us went the white sands and had our brunch along with Tricia. Then went to downtown east to wait for Hannah Yuanhui and Jyening to join us and play escape. Leckhui and Leckqi left soon after we reached there cause they had to go for their church stuff.
When all of us gathered,we headed for escape and wanted to take the Viking trip as our first ride.It was blistering hot and we were all complaining. But just as we were about to hop onto the ship, it started raining when it was still bright and sunny. We got a bit pissed but went to the carnival corner to play indoor stuff. Didnt really wait long before the weather was clear again, but when we were about to play the small kiddy roller coaster ride, it started raining AGAIN-.- lol, it's like heaven's fooling us like we're some bunch of idiots. So in the end, we paid 7 bucks into escape and only got to play the Wet 'n' wild thing. Really tired and angry so all of us went back home. And guess what again? There was something wrong with the mrt track or what, and i had to wait around 10 mins at each stop from tanah merah to aljunied. So i took around 1 hour to get home, lol. Legs really aching again from standing too much.

YEAH~ my father bought Nintendo WII for us(:

To yuanhui and jyening: THANKS FOR THE PRESENT(: Really love it and i dont know how and when i can use it though, haha.
Rest of the juniors: Really nice time we had together(: Hope you guys can fight into nationals top 8 or get at least 2nd for zonal(: Learn to persevere!

Didnt blog ytd.
24th(Monday)
Met up with Leckhui and Shujun at orchard and shopped around before we lunched at Delifrance. Went for the job interview at Lido complex but Shujun didnt go cause she had to go for her orientation at mjc on 27th, which is the day we are going to work. So leckhui and I went for the interview and each of us was given a serial number thing. Mine was 4835, but somehow, i thought it was 4875 and i wrote that number on all the registration forms. I even keyed in that number for the sign in for work thing. Then i only realised that i got the number wrong when i went to the bus stop and was about to leave. LOL, i know. Im either stupid or really blur.
In the end, i had to go back to the office and re-key my number and scan my palm.
And because of me, we missed two buses that we were gonna take to parkway.

It was already 5 plus when we reached parkway and met June and sinying. So we didnt shop around any more and while Shujun, June and sinying went back home, Leckhui and I headed back to her house for her carolling. But i didnt get to see leckhui in her carolling skirt and shirt cause she didnt have to go as she was supposed to accompany me at her house. Helped Leckhui's mother with the arranging of utensils and stuff and I watched Auntie Ninfa cook spaghetti so i can learn how to make really delicious sauce. When the carolling team went back to Leckhui's house, we started to eat a little and all of Leckhui's church pple went home, leaving those who were supposed to sleepover at Leckhui's house, namely Tingying, Jeslyn. Leckhui and I then went to fetch Yuanhui at the mrt.
It was after much persuasion that Yuanhui decided to sleepover at leckhui's house, only that Jyening wasnt with her. Soon after we brought yuanhui back to leckhui's house, marianne came. Some of us bathed and ate, and we played Seven level pig until i gave up cause i was losing. Made myself coffee so i could stay awake. Then the others soon finished playing the game and came down to eat maggi mee and cup noodles. All of them went to sleep soon,leaving me and yuanhui. We didnt sleep cause we werent tired( partly due to the coffee i drank). Chatted a lot with her at the rooftop and went to sleep at around 4 plus am.
REALLY SORRY ANGGUNIANG FOR STEALING THE BLANKET. im like so used to using one big blanket to cover my head, so i took the entire blanket and left yuanhui freezing there. LOL.

25th ( Tues)
Woke up at 9 or 10 plus and watched tv with yuanhui and leckqi until the others woke up. We played murderer and it was really fun cause it's quite obvious who's the murderer and who's the detective because of our funny expressions. Left her house at around 12 plus and i was really so forgetful that i almost forgot my facialwash, my socks, my clips and i had to went up several times to get them. In the end when i reached mrt and thought i remembered to bring everything, i realised there wasnt any money left in my ezlink and i had to take a bus cause i had only few coins left.
Met my family at some indonesian restaurant at parkway and played at timezone. Then we went home.

26th (wed)
Went out in the afternoon with my cousin Karen and Leckhui at bugis. They had lunch at the foodcourt and we went shopping after that for skinny jeans. It was quite boring at bugis, nothing much to do, but going out with my cousin and leckhui was rather fun cause I nvr went out with my cousin before-.- Leckhui soon went home to complete her puzzle and I continued walking around with Karen. We had nothing to do so we bought coke and went to national library to sit and chat, lol. We went home soon after that. Thanks karen for going out with Leckhui and I when you didnt really buy anything, haha.

HELLO(:
Back from my ahma's funeral which lasted 4 days.
It's really depressing, especially when I see my grandmother in the coffin, yet she cant see or hear anything. Kind of teared everytime I look at her body. But I guess I accepted the fact that she's gone and there's no point mulling over it, so the rest of the funeral was okay. Playing cards and some board games relieved all of us of the sadness.
Thanks to all the friends who consoled me and showed concern, and Leckhui & Shujun for attending my grandmother's funeral.

Woah, it's like really fast. School's gonna reopen really soon, and I didnt really did much this hols, cause most of the time, I was either at the hospital or at home and funeral.
I'm going to NYJC for first six weeks. Didnt try to appeal to TJC cause I didnt meet the criteria that was given for appeal cases. I guess I've to wait for the JAE, hope I can get into TJC by then(:

sorry i havent been blogging much since I returned from taiwan. Really busy with visiting my grandmother at hospital, and now helping with her funeral. Since its the tradition, i have to attend my grandmother's funeral everyday from morning until night, so i dont really have any time to stay at home to watch tv, let alone use the com.
We already knew my grandmother was going to leave us sooner or later, so we werent too grief-stricken when we got hold of the news that my grandmother passed away. But of course, there was still lots of sadness. After all, my grandmother really doted on us, and I spent part of my childhood days with her, eating her delicious homecooked dishes, and getting scolded by her when im quarrelling with my sister. She was a good grandmother.
To me, at least she is.

Check today's obituary either in Classified Straits times or Lianhezaobao.
In loving memory of my grandmother, Lee Ah Nik.

hey im back from the TAIWAN TRIP(:
We were on the bus most of the time, travelling to alishan and everywhere. TAIWAN IS REALLY BIG. The sightseeing part was rather fun cause of the snapping of pics everywhere(:
It was really mean of the teachers to let us play with the really pro table tennis pple, it's like we lost really terribly. But we didnt felt sad though, we still had wide grins on our faces. Haha. And the playing at the THEME PARK was one of the best part of the trip. We had really cool rides:D especially the one at aladdin there, cause we went 360degrees on the roller coaster and the ride that went up and down. I could really feel adrenaline rushing through my body(:

REALLY enjoyable trip, I loved it so much that i couldnt bear to leave taiwan. haha, but all good things must come to an end. Throughout the whole trip, our team got really bonded, and i got to know the juniors better(: I really played like some nutcase, always teasing the juniors and going around poking pple. Haha. And almost all of us got new nicknames.
Ang Guniang: I'll remember how you and racheltan both squeezed me okay(: I havent got my revenge yet.
The feeling of going with the team was really different from going with my family. It's just like, we broke the barrier of just being teammates. We got real close to one another, and didnt act so shy or what. We were more than just a team, we were great friends, like one big family. Im really missing the team now, missing the fun times, missing how we have our meals together, how we played in one another's rooms. At that time, we truly cared for one another and realise the importance of our presence. It wasnt just a trip of just sightseeing or training, it was a trip that brought us together. All of us sure had fun and I believe that the trip really made everyone treasure one another more.
To me, as a senior, I really cherished the last week our team can get together like that. It was really a rare chance indeed. If i ever had the chance, I would stay back in this school(: just to be with the team. The team which brought me really precious and memorable moments that will be forever etched in my mind.
I REALLY MISS THE TEAM.
