ok...sorry for disappearing for so long....am quite busy now....i have 3 different projects to do, not including my other group work for tutorial...there's some MJ ppl in my course..sometimes run into them...but we both only know we frm MJ when we ask where we r frm...all nvr c b4 except for one...
anyway, as for my timetable, i got no sch on fri...and free in e evening of wed and thurs( i want to quit my stupid punggol tuition already...got better things to do than wate my time there...)..mon i finish at 630, tues at 1230 but got tuition at hougang/sengkang...
i'm just going to vent my frustration here...super piss at them...third time's a strike...
1st encounter...
they were going out and didn't even inform me...only did so when i was at their doorstep...so i had to go all e way home for nothing....
2nd...
i came and e kid was missing....went to buy stuff...only come back 45 min later...they think i v free to wait for them....i was rushing from my grp project meeting lor...
3rd...
this happens almost every week....but yesterday was e ultimate one...
i come...e bro will sleep...while e sis will do sthg unrelated to the tuition...like art and lazing ard...
yesterday, e sis said she lost all her books...i was stunned...dunno wat to do for 2 hrs there...then, my inspiration...make her memorise timetable...which she suck at...can't even get e 3 time table right....she refuse to do...she continued folding paper for fun....so i just kept silent and stare at her....this pt, i was considering to quit...after only 15 min did she give in and started doing it..after she realise i was not answering her rubbish qn...the bro still sleeping....then when i ask her to repeat some of her weaker timetabl;e...she went oon strike again...this time 25 min...then all of a sudden her eng bk appear...so obvious lying...lost e bk....when i ask her do compo...she refuse again...when i was silent again, to show her anger, she did her compo in red pen...like i care...i was so close to just packing my stuff and go..
when e bro wake up and saw e sis playing a fool...he also follow...he didn't go work...at this pt i gave up already...i started calling izyan to ask her if she wants my tuition...they still not doing anything...
in 2 hrs...all they did was...bro: 3 math qn, sis: selected timetable and a disastrous compo..not even 100 words...and she's p3...
they really spoilt my day yesterday...so i going to call their mum today and tell her i not going there anymore...e pay is pathetic anyway....to spoil my day twice a wk is a waste of time...apparently, i'm not e only tutor who quit...they kids say e record was one quit after 4 lessons...(they told when i came e 2nd time)...at least i lasted till 13 lessons...
they can fail for all i care...already e girl got 2/25 for her math...she cried last week during tuition thinking i wld give in and do wat she wants...like i will...serve her right she fail...she said she want to tell her mum that she fail because of me...do i look like i care...
and they always say 'i tell my mother u....' every lesson...like i care....i want to quit by end of yr anyway...i was considering to wait for their end of yr to finish b4 quitting...then when yestrerday started on a bad note...idecided maybe wait for their CA to finish...when it drag for 2 hrs...i decide to quit straight away...too bad e mum not at home yesterday...
i left early yesterday...cos i don't care abt them anymore...i got better things to do like my projects and tutorials....even my cousin who's a mat and irritating like hell and is unmotivated in his studies don't make me lose my temper like that before la...they shld be glad they are not related to me...if not, i'll just shout at them and scold them...and i have never scolded my other kids....
ok..sorry for venting my frustration on u guys...i really hate e kids...spoilt brat....they even shouted at their maid in front of me...pest...argh...
ok..i shall stop venting my frustration...hope to meet u guys soon...maybe in e west...:)...LC can travel...haha...majority wins....

thank you so much 4 the scratch msg!!!!! its SO COOL !!!
i'm very very touched by your support!! thank u for yr smses on that day as well! i felt much better after reading them. i did'nt win anyth, but i had a blast. i'll always remember this pageant. most importantly the rehearsals where i truly bonded with my fellow contestants. we were always having 'high' moments and being all drama. when the pics come in i'll show u guys. i really loved it.. i always looked fwd to rehearsals and the pageant night was just us looking 10 million times nicer than usual wif a lot of ppl watching us.
wif regards to sch, so far its been ok, but i think the hard part 4 me has'nt come yet coz i haven't been set any essays yet so.. so far so good. and yes, i'm looking fwd to the monday lunch dates wif shaz n azz!! good thing we managed to find a day we're all free. i'm taking french as one of my electives n its really fun. im also taking a bio module called genes r us. bad idea. i have no idea wat the lecturer is saying coz he mumbles. but i have a senior to chat wif during the lecture. hehe.. oh and wif regards to the date thing we all have in uni, i'll tell u guys more abt it when we meet.
in the meantime, here are my pageant pics!!!!!!
before pageant, still carefree and fooling ard. as u can see, we all want to be part of every picture. the girl at the extreme right pointing at the water bottle is the senior who trained us to catwalk.

another of our zi high moments.the guy on the right is usually sleepy during rehearsals but dunno how come on sat he was so high.

more high moments. i just took out my phone cam and said," ok i'm taking a pic everyone look here!!!!" and they all rushed over and posed. automatic.

the shoes!!!! we were doing stand-by-shoe. lined up according to when we would rush back into the dressing room to change from casual to formal wear.my shoe is the white one, 2nd from the right on the lower row.

me and the guy i was partnered wif. this pageant featured both guys n girls. total 16 contestants, 8 guys 8 girls. there r 8 OGs, so a guy and girl from each OG. but we're arranged and paired up according to height so i was'nt wif the guy from my gp. i was F3 and my partner was M3. i'm from k gp koza and he's from torrio, t gp. the bunny ears at the sides were ppl who wanted to butt in into an otherwise simple picture.

after make up and into casual wear, the first segment.

and... ta da!!! the formal wear segment!!!!!!
this guy is from the same og as me. he styled the hair for almost all the 8 guys in the pageant and also did the hair for the main pageant ic. again, as u can see, the bunny ears did not come from the both of us.

me n last yr's pageant queen!!! she's really tall. she was also a judge this yr and she said she liked me n tt she thinks i'm a nice girl. heh heh! this is after the whole pageant and she looks teary eyed coz the overall pageant ic did smth very sweet 4 the pageant contestants last yr.

that's the treat 4 u guys!! will show more pics when they come.
thanks again 4 yr well wishes. i truly had a blast. i wish u guys all the best in yr new schools!!!! must JIA YOU!!!

hey girls!
alright..i am typing this with fresh pink nail polish on my fingers and dark purple nail polish on my toes! So it's kinda difficult to type.
OK! I am updating!
I am into my 3rd official day at NUS Business School. But...I have had only 2 days of lectures so far! Tutorials haven't started as we will start balloting on Fri. However, I am already preallocated my core modules so I just have to ballot for my elective module tutorial. Thus, tutorials will only start in wk 3. The tutorial work, projects, term papers etc have all been coming in already though! I will post my timetable up soon when I get my elective module tutorial time. Btw, I am doing some stupid, horrible, and don't-think-i-can-pass elective module!! Ethnicity and Religion in Asian Politics. Past years papers showed that I have to do at least 3 essays during the closed book final year exam in 2 hours. So, congrats to me for bidding such an out of the Rachel world module - Political Science! you all know how much I hate politics!!!!
Anyway, I had a free day today! So, I headed down to Orchard with my friends from 11am to 6pm! Not a place I like to go too. And we ended up walking back to the same places all the time coz we didn't know where to go. What was I doing there??
Just like Shaz, I am having this formal dinner tmr night. I know I didn't blog about this yet. And it was a horrible process. But rather fun actually...just that it's tiring.
Ok...This DATING GAME goes like this. A junior is suppose to date a senior of the opposite gender. ie. If you are a girl freshie, you have to date a senior. But the rules are that you cannot date someone from your same block. KR is divided into 5 blocks - A, B, C, D, E. So, if you happen to be from E block, you cannot date an E block senior. You can date a senior from A, B, C or D. You can choose to not date anyone and be matchmade. But guess, it's not something which you want coz you don't know who that senior you are going to have your dinner with. And if you can't click with that senior, it's not going to be a nice dinner.
I actually got rejected by this senior. Details another time. But I have since found another senior. Actually, I wanted to give up and probably not even go for the formal dinner. however, I managed to date this senior whom I am quite close to...Quite a poor chap coz he's a substitute. But I hope he doesn't think that way. I had wanted to date him at first but coz i was fickle minded and went ahead to date someone else. i got rejected coz another prettier girl was going after him also. And i didn't do as much as that girl. i'll tell you what i did another time. So, after a big round, i was back with this senior. And he is a nice guy. He is from my faculty and he sold me his textbook. ok...i am feeling bad for him. but if he doesn't be my date, he would be matchmade and i think its better to be with me coz i know we would have lots to talk about and crap since we are quite close already. don't hope that he is a tall, dark and handsome guy coz he is totally opposite. and i am kinda sorry for him coz i am going to wear heels and he is already shorter than me when i don't wear heels! I told him that, and the seniors also said that there would be full body photo taking. He was nice and said he didn't mind. I know he was being nice. Oh well...
I bought him a mug as a gift exchange. But guess I'll see how i could do it up with an additional card or something tmr.
Btw, after the dinner (which is in the dining hall where we have our meals everyday!!!), we are going down to Great World City in a chartered bus to watch Licence to Wed. A romance comedy...So appropriate for a dating game...
We have seen many people do funny things for their dates like perform on stage, decorate the lifts, corridors, rooms, doors, give funny but creative things to the date etc...But it's all in the name of fun! :)
I will update another time, gonna get up at 530am to run and train (as a block) for inter block games which starts next wk. So for the next 3 wks, I will be waking up at 530am, running to the sports and recre centre, play a different game (whichever the block comm decides to play. today was handball.) each day till 8am and then head back to KR for breakfast. I am going to be so shagged!! But it's a fun way to bond with the fellow block people and to learn new sports!! I hope to lose weight too!! hehe!
Ok! WE will try to meet up soon ya! I met Aifung, Yvonne, and Wei2 on Tues for lunch! :)
OH Yah! Wish me all the best for tmr's date! :) So exciting!
Take cares people! :)

Hey girls! I know some of you have started lesson, some of you starting lesson, and some of you still going for all the camps and everything. How about meeting up on this coming sat evening for a dinner get together?
Anyway, I'm resuming my work from this coming sunday onwards and for all weekends, so it'll be hard for us to meet up after that.. =( The pay is really good though! I mean, better than previously =P
If you guys are looking for part time job and are sick of giving tuition, let me know and I can pull you in too, that is if you want =)

Hey girls!
I haven't been able to come online though my status online is probably always there. I recently just ended the hall camp. We are moving on to the block camp today. I am still awake...Time check: 2:47 AM!
Apparantly, staying in hall is like that. 2, 3 am is still considered early. And they wake up 8,9am. It's really bad for the body and all, but I guess I am getting accustomed to the lifestyle already. Just now my friend came over and had cup noodles with me! We did other art and craft stuff for this senior guy that we have to date for formal dinner. I have been "attacking" my date so far but he hasn't given me an answer. So, I wanted to decorate his room just now but he was inside the room! After walking to his place 2,3 times, I gave up and my friend promised to go with me tmr morning. LIke duh..he would sleep in! Unless he doesn't close his door as he sleeps! (Read more about this dating game at my blog.)
Tmr is going to be quite a slack day besides Freshmen Inauguration Ceremony which I heard it's quite boring but people go for the sake of the nice files they give out. However, I didn't bring really formal clothes!!! I hope they allow me to enter!
Ok...my timetable is almost going to be out and I have a free day on WED! The other days are horrible with one day at most 2 tutorials/lectures. Each day has one lecture and one tutorial. I kinda like this whereby I don't have to bid for the course. I am probably going to puke blood if I have to bid.
Anyway, I don't think I am blogging at my blog yet. I am very sleepy and my eyes are closing. Going to wake up at 7am and meet my friend as we set off to decorate our dates room.
Take care everyone~
~Weird-R~ to Weird - D: Hey girl! Go all the way for it! You even get to take your own outside pic! Hehe! All the best girl!

Hey! Well now its one of those days where i have nth to do at home, and i feel very inspired to write smth and the thought that keeps on popping up in my mind is that sch's gonna start soon, and uni is a big thing when you sit down and think about it.
i think we're all excited that uni's gonna start coz we've been bored for 7 plus months and we finally get to start DOING something. shaz and i feel that we look like little kids compared to our seniors!! everyone's like so grown up and we still look like sec sch kids. i wonder if we'll ever look and feel like uni students. when i think about it, in my mind, i'm like... WHOA... i'm going uni leh!! so grown up. yay! quite a childish mindset actually, don't u think?
i actually had a lot in my mind i wanted to say, but somehow, the thoughts just... evaporated. oh well.. i guess i thought i had a lot to say, and the whole feeling and inspiration made it seem like a lot.
i think this blog is a great way for us weirdz and our other friends to keep in touch. we can always write wat we're feeling and thinking, and complain about sch(like how horrible our timetables are.. i'll let azzimah complain about tt one) and the new and interesting characters we meet at sch.. and update each other about our lives. cool eh!
as for me, i just came back from student union camp last week and it was fun! a lot of embarrassing things happened i dun wanna repeat them here coz if i do i'll just shudder non stop for the whole day thinking abt it. so paiseh can. also, i'm officially the lee chen of my camp group coz i'm slow at getting jokes and games. its not my fault!!! its mostly in chinese can!!! look at my non-cheena face u noe liao. sigh. anyway being in a cheena environment is good in a sense coz i get to practice my chinese.
i also got selected to represent my group 4 union camp pageant. miss earth, u must give me advice k!!! its very cool, the theme is vintage!!!! i was so happy when i heard tt coz i love vintage. there was even a photoshoot for us on tuesday. it was outdoors and we were posing at the old shophouses at emerald hill. cool rite! i shall tell u guys more when we meet up. the actual pageant is in mid august. wish me luck!!
ok, i hope everyone is doing well, and lets just face uni wif a "i don't care, shit happens, let's just do our best!" kinda attitude k. jia you jia you!
~wishing u all happiness always,
