I wish nothing more than to sing in my choir again with my batch of people. Olivia, Agnessa, Moritza, Natalie, Alex, Grace and Wee Leng, well, Shao Wei, O, how I really miss them. I miss you guys! The days we sang Dong Dang, gosh, I'm really choir-sick. I want to hear the choir again. Be in my choir. Be part of a beautiful choral group. Part of the fun we had those days. So. Sick. I need choir remedy. I need music. I need to "Shinjiru".

2009-08-07T22:33:00.000+08:00

If I were a boy... I'd marry moritza. I still think Bryan should date Moritza. Ya? Bryan? Haha. Time to sleep!

Reading through my guides' blog, I felt really nostalgic. Missing all those days when things were fun. Marching through those "barked" commands of the drill mistresses; doing outdoor cooking; blowing on the flames beneath the make-shift stove we made on those bricks; having camps, not forgetting those solo night walks with the scouts. Those great times. I realized those little girls whom I taught the drills, had grown up. New little girls full of passion for guides are welcomed into the family. Hopefully, the management is way better than my batch, under YoYo and my command. One of my regret, was the improper management of the guides of our batch. The bad blood between us kind of caused a split in the two companies. The greatest harm, inflicted not only on me, but the girls too. Sorry! But nonetheless, I still loved my guiding days!! I want to be a guide again! Tie pony tails! Wear my barret! Wear and polish my black boots! Don on my uniform which I happen to be VERY proud of! Buckle my belt and flash offf the shiny silver "PANDU PUTERI" = girl guides in malay. Show off the year's THINKING DAY BADGE! Sew on my proficiency badges on my sleeves! Peek on my rank at the corner of my eyes, hehe! I LOVE being a GIRL GUIDE!

This is the guiding light of mine, I'm gona let it shine! x3
Let it shine x2
all the time!

Signing off,
your CL, Sue Yee of the 2006 batch.

Sick of letting Miss Angela rule.

Time to unleash deviree.

Sometimes I just wished that I had grown up a little older, so things would just go my way because "I'm old enough". A simple reason to counter difficult situations, but of course that's definitely against the natural order of how things work.

When I'm old enough, I would not get scolded just because I had stayed out late.

When I'm old enough, I can tell them of Heng Yi and not be so secretive because it's killing me.

When I'm old enough, I can wear make up and dress up nicely instead of the typical school dress code they subject me to. Mother tells me,"No, this one is too mature for you! Take this!" "No, you don't have breasts to fill these clothes." etc. Maybe I should swear by shirts and long pants someday soon.

When I'm old enough, I can go on trips without them restricting me. Can you believe it? Even a trip with Bryan and Kenneth (my childhood friends) got them so uptight, so how can I go elsewhere?

Just because I look small doesn't mean I'm immature. Im 19! Girls go out partying late into the night (that's not what I want) but I just want to illustrate the point that I'm still me. The old me from the secondary school days with just a wee bit more freedom. Why are they always emphasizing on academics, education and study? It's not like they fully understand RP's system, do they? Every weekend at home is practically cooping my brain up in a jail, where the guard has nothing else to say to the prisoner other than to study, study and study harder. Communication is one wonderful thing which our family never learned. Learning to control their raised voices and temper is a miracle that will never happen in a million years.

I wished we'd be on better terms, like a typical nice warm family, a nice sanctuary to return to. Haha, maybe I'm just sick of being treated "small" :]

2009-03-15T16:08:00.003+08:00

Ok, great, guess what I've done now? I've signed up to be a part of Boulderactive '09. I'm not sure if I'm still in the right state of mind, signing up for a sport I'm not competent in, but yea, guess it is as they say- to have some fun and exposure. Moreover, the design of the singlet isn't too bad :] (that's 1 plus point)

The one point that detered me from joining was that no one I knew was joining. I mean, not literally, physically yes, there are people I know joining. But mentally speaking, or in the social sense, their presence seemed insignificant or rather a little disturbing. There is this one big problem that existed way before everything started and who knows if it can even be corrected. It annoys the hell out of me, but it seems the ones causing the problem are either obliviously ignorant of what is happening, or they are conveniently letting these little pesky problems slip by because the victim is anyone but themselves. You know? My English Teacher taught me something called "Basic Courtesy" that should be known to every single individual regardless of xxxxxx group. When you meet someone new in the group, the "middleman" introduces both party. When you have other xxxxx in the group, be the middleman.

But I guess they just love the exclusive rights given to them. Coveting it so much they refuse to share the joy with others. Great, I couldn't care less. Guess I would just cuddle my storybook and snuggle to sleep...

zzz...

O, if you guys want to, do drop by the open space of Velocity on this Friday from 1pm to 10pm to support me, though I doubt I would complete any routes. It might be a disappointing performance since I'm still rather rusty. Haha! :]

2009-03-14T09:15:00.003+08:00

At last, I returned to the realm of the climbing peeps. After so long a break, training kind of had a great big impact on my fragile frame. (啊！人家娇小可爱吗！叫我真么能爬得好呢？~)

*撒娇 :x

"ARGH!"

"OUH!~"

Noises like that emanate from the dreadful bathroom singer.

Sit-up (with 5kg weights held at the back of my head), push-ups, leg raise (similarly with 5kg weights supported by my calf), + training...

Result: Intense muscle aches everywhere. You name it, I've got it. :x Arms, legs and even the butt (little bruises attained from an improper landing).

We ended a little late, so there wasn't much time to go over to Sim Lim Square to buy the battery. We then debated on where to have dinner- Bishan, Bugis or Yio Chu Kang. Babi said he left the choice to me, but IN FACT, he wanted to go to Bishan to eat Korean Rice Cake, haha, I saw through it all and just did him a favor, choosing Bishan as our next destination...

Anyway, we had this little bet going on. The prize: Wishes, or rather, when rephrased means something that the loser would have to do something for you :p

It started when we were waiting for Bus 171 to arrive. There was this Iris planner board which estimates the bus arrival time. I confidently told him that it would arrive in 3 mins time based on the Iris planner, but evidently, the system FAILED~!! He bet with me that it would arrive in 5 mins time, but the bus came LATE! It came 5-6 mins past my 3 mins estimation -.-'' Naturally, I lost. Lols! We continued this betting game even on the M.R.T., guessing how many people there will be in the last cabin. I said 25, and BINGO! haha, it was a 1 day event thing, a mini-competition, but Babi still won in the end :'[ Hehe, next time, I will beat you! It was fun, waiting, hopping on the train in anticipation that our guesses were correct as we counted the number of people on board.

Ok, back to Bishan, dinner consisted of Korean Cold Noodles instead of Rice Cakes for Babi. The Cold Noodles were refreshing; the noodle had a unique texture to it; the soup tasted light but heavy at the same time. Somehow it wasn't that good a flavor after drinking for a long time. How do you describe it? It is good the first few spoonfuls, but then you start getting tired drinking from the cold, thin metal bowl.

As for me, the normal healthy Yong Tau Foo, nothing much to elaborate on O.O

It is weird sometimes, when everyone's having sales, "BIG HUGE Bargains", "Great DISCOUNTS", but you don't find something you like. It is like when there is a huge mega shoes sale, but you aren't in the mood to shop for one. Babi's been looking around for a watch, but it seems despite the sales, those watches he liked didn't seem affordable even after the discount.

P.S. some guys who spoke like machine guns made a great impact on Heng Yi and I the day before. Why me? Hehe...

2009-03-09T00:29:00.004+08:00

O

M

G

Lols, well, finally. And I will not fail to emphasize that in all due respects that I am at last FREED~! (of all undue pressure acting upon me)

Yo, baby, yo baby!

My holiday module has come to an end, and Clinical Trials has been pushed to the very deepest corner of my mind, somewhere of which its exact location is still unknown. I'm going to try and make the best of my break and get somewhere, do something worth the while.

Saturday, 7th March marked the start of SMU's Gravical Bouldering Competition. Babi took part in it and woohoo, he got the 12th placing in the MEN's INTERMEDIATE category! It was a really hot day that day, with the sun shining mercilessly nonetheless... But yeah, that wasn't the main point.

There were 4 routes in total to be completed by the Intermediate Men. The first 2 routes needed more of technique I guess. The tiles, or as some would refer to as the "rocks", were hard to grip. There was one pincher which was really hard to grasp. But at least the Babi managed to touch the Bonus tile!! WooHoo! Then the last 2 routes were rather interestingly set. It required good execution of moves and dynamic power to complete. It was kind of height-biased, or so I might add. Not very favorable for shorties like me :x While the other climbers had to jump a little from the previous tile, the Babi easily got through that stage by merely reaching out his long arms across the overhang -.-'' I was so "awed" by his extended arm. Thanks, if only I had that pair of arms, I'd sail through my Novice Women's Competition. The second last route was a "sloppy" route- full of slopers. In case some of you are wondering, slopers are those shaped like- crudely put brxxxxts (so now do you get the idea), which is a test of a climber's contact strength. Babi breezed through it, its no wonder, why? Don't ask me why? Isn't he the dirty-minded young man? Hehe :x He flashed that route. The last one too :] Impressive.

Result: 12/ 21 placing.

Not bad for a novice intermediate :D + He's my Babi! So GOOD!! JIAYOUS in your Boulderactive!!

O, by the way, after the competition, we went to Heeren, there was this little games corner at HMV, we played StreetFighter. Guess what? Babi chose Akuma to fight and lost one round. I took over and won two rounds. Hehe, what's more, I had no tactics. My strategy was to frantically hit any buttons found on the controller. HAHA! Girls are better at fighting games than guys think we suck :x

2009-03-01T11:36:00.005+08:00

Songs like “Welcome to My Life”, not forgetting the sentence, “I just wanna scream~, how could this happen to me?” that scheduled itself on the “loop” mode, those songs seem to mock at my life and I.

Haha!

*Abridged version

Sidetracking, does anyone know of a good place to scream but no one cares and listens? Just a random question :]

Debra and Jian Hui made it to the "Rolls of Honor", WOOHOO! Congratz!

Jing too. Guess he really was that good with his I.T. stuffs. Thought that emo-ness got in the way of his studies but woa, I got to admit, he really is good with his I.T.. Moreover, he was the one who helped me tide over my V.B. crisis during my Year One days.
*Giving my silent thanks here.

Anyway, we went to Orchard the day before. We ate at Carl's Jr..

2009-02-13T23:19:00.002+08:00

Woohoo! Tell you what, Mr. JJ Lin is dropping by at Northpoint @ 2pm, and if I missed that timing, it would be 6pm, @ Jurong Point. I haven't really gone for his special guest appearances before. Other than on T.V., N.D.P. and C.D., I hardly ever saw him :x

So I guess if, that is a BIG if, I could go see him, it'd be my first time up close as someone who appreciates his music and composes. :p

And, to my babi, thanks!

Valentine's Day was brought forward, so after FYP, we went marketing at AMK Hub. Ate at Subway and subsequently shopped for our ingredients. Babi wanted to eat noodles, so PASTA it was!

Noodle: Tubular Spaghetti
Sauce: Traditional Tomato Paste
Ingredients: Prawns + Cod fish + Mushrooms

For dessert, presenting- Mango Sorbet!
Nutritional Facts:

99% fat free
Dairy free (lactose free, so babi can eat without running in and out of the toilet)

O no! I feel hungry now :x

2009-02-12T21:12:00.003+08:00

Emoo the cow makes a special appearance at my favorite emo hang out place.

Let's chill before the prison term starts, and life's essence gets sucked dry out of the bubbly dreadful bathroom singer :]

Cheers to Jing!

*P.S.: Sorry, don't mind me, but I just had to get this off my chest. Moph.

2009-01-23T23:36:00.002+08:00

Wishing all you guys a Happy Chinese New Year!!

P.S.: Sorry Babi, that I'm not here in Singapore to spend this festive season with you. Take care hor, don't go rockclimbing everyday, trying to tire yourself out -.-'' Rest a little more :]

Have a real happy and joyful festive season, guys! I'm going off to Malaysia tomorrow, in the wee morning, back in Singapore by Wednesday midnight I guess (most probably)...

Take care! All of you!

2009-01-21T20:13:00.002+08:00

VID** sucks, period!

Comments for individual:
Hi,I am glad you enjoyed the problem packages and were always enthusiastic in your attitude towards learning. It makes teaching also fun. Good work today, keep it up!

Daily Grade: B!?

This is the fifteenth week and still she is as unreasonable as ever. Phft! Bleah!

2009-01-20T08:55:00.002+08:00

Blues, jazzy, um hm...

Anyway, I have got this really strong urge to go over to the Esplanade :]

2009-01-11T08:50:00.006+08:00

The day before was the qualifying round for Novice, Intermediate and Open Women, to top that off, we also had the Novice, Intermediate and Open Men. We utilized both the indoor rock wall, as well as the outdoor one at the A.L.C. [Adventure Learning Centre]. Things got awry first thing in the morning with the Registration Booth. The collection of money wasn't really a problem, but the filling of the forms snowballed into quite a gimongous chaotic situation that took quite a while to subdue. As expected, Zaid wasn't really pleased to see all these, so he stepped in to "alleviate" the confusion. Nonetheless, it did help.

Anyway, moving on, Heng Yi took part in the Intermediate Men Category. He was the first climber [IM01], ascending up the 25m (estimated) wall steadily. His first slip happened at around the second or third panel. But he managed to cling on the the wall using the crimp, where his finger strength kind of "saved his fall". The second one was due to a totally unexpected slip that caused his fall. He thought he had it there but as he was making a move for the subsequent tile, his leg slipped under him, and he fell off from the wall, with the harness arresting his fall.

But, it wasn't too bad hur! The Registration Booth was in charge of tabulating the results, so I had an insight on who made it to the Finals- the top 8 qualifiers. Many other climbers fell at around the same tiles as Heng Yi did, so his chances of winning wasn't completely eliminated.

:c But the downside was that the Intermediate Men's route had a few extreme sit-in moves which Heng Yi might have had difficulties executing due to his knee injury.

When results were out, guess what!!??

BABI made it to the Finals!! At the 8th position! With a knee injury!! Muahaha! Congrats :]

O, ya, we've got our own mascot too, his name is Max, the frog Matthew and Penguin caught at A.L.C. on Friday night. Jeannie, Iffah and ZiZi were so freaked out at the mere sight of the frog. Gosh, it wasn't even out of the tub! For God's sake, it was safely secured inside. -.-''

The day was freaking tiring on the whole.

Zz, oink, zz, oink..

2009-01-07T00:16:00.002+08:00

Suddenly, everything seems so predictable. What with climbmax promising it would be a fast game, I end up having to stay till the competition ends to tabulate the results. -.-" In a normal circumstance, I would not complain, but because so much stuffs has since happened, I kind of don't give a damn. UTs coming up, things doesn't seem well, good game, girl, prepare to fail :[

2009-01-03T23:45:00.002+08:00

Hohoho!! 3 more tiring weeks in school :x What with ClimbMax 09, U.T. and all...

2009-01-01T15:00:00.001+08:00

You say it best, when you say nothing at all.

2008-12-21T10:48:00.002+08:00

Argh! So cash-strapped.. Kader has not given us our pay yet. I am in serious need of $$! About the back-packing trip that we had discussed for so long, finally, we got the initial stages straightened out. We, meaning my childhood friends: Brian and Kenneth, Amelia (Kenneth's girlfriend), Heng Yi and I. Destination: Japan (Tokyo, Sapporo and Hokkaido). We would be spending approximately 10 days there :] But the problem is... it seems like we are going next year end. I seriously doubt I can save enough money. HELP!

2008-12-19T13:02:00.002+08:00

How I envy Zi Ning, leading such a happy-go-lucky life :] Accompanied by the beauty and elegance of food, carefree laughter and utmost fun. 幸福，真的很幸福。我们要好好珍惜。
It is going to be a tough year ahead for us. Hope we can pull through. 加油！Everyone!

2008-12-17T21:09:00.003+08:00

Hm, I haven't been updating the blog for a long long while. Well, significant updates that happened, well much had happened.

The I.T. show got me a little worked up. Not because of the job or anything. Part of the reason was because of Belle. Anyways, I worked in the I.T. show, for ACER, yet again. Surprisingly, for a second-timer-noob-cum-I.T.-idiot like me, I managed to learn a wee bit more about I.T. stuffs and scraped through selling 19 laptops in 2 days! Mind you! N-I-N-E-T-E-E-N!? I don't know how I managed to pull that stunt off :x For the record, I sold 20 laptops in the last I.T. show in 4 days. A big thanks to Matthew and Yu Han, for dropping by, Boss too :] And an especially Gimongous thanks to my Babi, for being there. Gosh, it was so tiring working, but at least it seemed like there was something to look forward to at the end of the day.

Holidays are on full swing. It is like an excercising regimen for me. We had planned to combine fun with healthy lifestyle or something along that line, yeap, you got the idea. Went for "trekking" on monday, 15th December. The month December was significant enough to warn anyone that it was "the rainy season". Nevertheless, the foolish me still went ahead without giving it so much of a second thought. Lols, so we walked all the way from Yishun to Upper Pierce Reservoir on foot, bringing nothing but our EZ-link cards, my I.C., a packet of tissue, his handphone and a handy pouch to contain those items mentioned above [p.s.: notice the absence of an umbrella].

We continued walking until the last part of our trip, when we just entered the entrance of Upper Pierce Reservoir [and the entrance is so so so so so... far away from the real destination, considering that we were on foot], not long after, it started drizzling. Great. Now, Mr. Babi Henry had to mention: 下大一点啊! [meaning make it rain heavier!] *Bish, and it really did.

We. Were. Drench.

Envision that chinese phrase 落汤鸡 and then fit us into the picture. We fit EXACTLY. Armed with nothing over our heads and a shelter so so many million steps away, vulnerable, we stand. In spite of lush vegetation above us, they provided no help. Drenched, from head to toe. Then an incoming lorry stopped by. He gave us 2 ponchos, those disposable ones that come in many different colors. A yellow and a green one, I suppose. He took the green one and put it on. O.M.G. You guys should have seen how he looked, so freaking funny!! With his hair all wet, it went limp on his head, plus the disposable raincoat looking too small for his size. Gosh, you guys should have been there. With the hoodie above his head? Classic. Speechless.

Haha, anyway, the heavy downpour lasted only for a short while and being the Babi that he was, he took it off as soon as he could get rid of that makeshift raincoat. ("It is toxic to our skin"quoted from the Babi, but really was just a lame excuse to get it off, hehe!).

By the way, anyone interested in donating blood? There's an event at Dhoby Ghaut Station from 12pm-6pm on the 19-21 December :]

O, and I so am looking forward to the W54K gathering on the 23 December, pray I don't overeat :x Control me!! Haha!

2008-11-24T00:17:00.005+08:00

ARGH! So freaking hungry right now... Starved. :x Here is my diet plan for today.

Breakfast:

2 slices of bread with butter and kaya spread

Lunch:

cereal
biskuit with a creamy interior

Haha, for the sake of money, it is worth however long I can persevere this insane dieting plan. :x

But I swear I will not lose control over this fad. This I know for sure, for I am the renowned Babi who cannot resist the luring temptation of FOOD!! Muahaha!

2008-11-05T14:40:00.009+08:00

Ster-ster! Take care of yourself alright? If your father is not fetching and if no one is going back with you, give me a buzz ok? Sorry for not being there when things happened. Hope you like that plushie!

****

Great. I'm at a loss now. What am I to do? How would you react to something like that? I'm no great motivation speaker. I have a serious inability to express and influence another to think positively. It is hard, no doubt. I understand totally. If it were me, I would have gone bonkers ages ago. I would not have had the strength to last that long a time.

To see another so demoralized, it hurts.

To know that another is disappointed in none other than oneself, it is heart-wrenching.

What would one do to rectify this inbalance? It seems saddening. But I have to be strong. Be that pillar which stands strong amidst the storms. Cliche as it sounds :x 你要加油!
