hey guys lol i'm not dead yet. hi ziteng. thanks for the holler-reminder to keep blogging. lol i've been so freaking busy. camp, and school. are waaaay enough to kill. during school i get piled with work and then i suddenly remember: "damn, still got camp." then in church i do camp until super stressed, then suddenly i remember: "damn, still got this and that project." RRRRROAR. and my baby brother is at SUPA camp now. and he is homesick. I KNEW IT LAH MOM TELL YOU ALREADY THEN YOU STILL SEND HIM THERE. -.- lucky got james liew that he knows. fairly well. lol. james liew better not sleep like a pig and take care of ben. lol.
anyways camp is coming. i am excited and stressed at the same time. booklet is like. the most stressful thing ever. nametags undone. later camp everybody like a nameless only lah. HAHA. laugh.
something to lament about this week (this is going to be childish but heck): i found out that marcomm CT is on december 16. wahlau of all things. MARKETING. gimme medsoc common test also i not so unhappy. must be marcomm common test. -.- and then ah. my leaders retreat from 10am-9pm. at least if the common test 9am then i can go for leaders retreat longer. or if the CT at 7pm i can go for the whole thing in the morning. COME AND SMACK IN THE MIDDLE 2PM. don't annoying lah please ah. ): i make it sound like such a huge thing lol. but aiyah just gimme some space because i've never gone to school on dec 16 before ): hate mktg comm also. rrrrroar. i totally laughed at the morbidness of the fact that i will scratch my head over principles or marketing communication. that's naise.

today's the start of redcamp six and it really reminds me of myself last year. it shows that my time in ngee ann has flown by. year one will be over soon. then the massive pile of projects in year two and senior year threateningly lie ahead. whooohoo yay. thinking back, i think i'm so glad i didn't make it to SL cause my grades and projects will suffer. seriously, redcamp throws the whole polytechnic off schedule. and idk how my RC friends are going to catch up. all the best to them with sincerity and not sarcasm. anyways. my turn to talk to the potential freshies on thursday. i get to advertise my school. the first school that i really find i enjoy what i'm studying. yay.
kristopher neil allen, i travelled from ngee ann to city hall to toa payoh to find you, cannot find. -.- angry. don't wanna buy you anymore. schoool is being damn crazy. stretched to the maximum, and going to break. but i know for sure by the grace of God i'll make it. and i really love the airport. welcome back cheryl hoeeee :) 919 butterfly panels at terminal threeee :)

november 11 last year was amazing. after finishing a very easy MCQ combined science paper (and of course getting an A1) i went out with my friends to town. i remember eating dory fish for lunch and then running over to HMV to go find david's debut album. i spotted it 10m away from the entrance of the shop and i ran towards it like a mad chicken. DAVID ARCHULETA <3 i haven't been blogging much or blogging about him much. lol. but david is damn awesome and i am waiting for his third album release. more pop please david, would be greatly appreciated.
on a sadder note, i'm in school 1.5 hours early with nothing much to do. i could just meditate and pray, or i could be a nerd and edit my final cut express videos, or i could also study or do more NPASU logos for graphic communication. of all these things i would choose to meditate and pray if i had to choose one. wish i'd brought my bible. ): i used to always bring my bible to school in sec four. illinois takes up so much space in my bag i promise you. ok no excuses. ah see here's where an iphone/itouch comes in handy also. e-bibles. not the best things, but still, e-bibles.
school is reallly being a b***h right now. i've got like one project every module or something. well almost. stuff like S&W they dare to give me volleyball project i fainted. and i doubt i can go for CF today. but then again. aiyah i don't know lah. ): school so stress. whoever tells you poly life is the slackest thing on earth, they lie. i see no reason why we should be any less stressed than the JC kids. they got PW we also got PW. just different kind of PW. and a lot more PWs than they have anyway. -.-
this is pretty random but i don't see how people say that engineering students are more slack than those of the school of film and media studies. and i think anyone who will ever put down engineering students ought to be shot. by the way, engineering students have their school hours a lot worse than i do, i have figured. and from student union camp and CATS class where we get to mix with engineering students, i have derived at this conclusion that the engineering students are the nicest of the whole lot. come on man. sure, they speak broken english sometimes, they throw in a couple of hokkien vulgarities all the time, and sometimes during class they just want to annoy the teacher with their unconstructive comments. but they're also students and some of them have equal (if not better) L1R5s than students from other schools. they just choose to be engineers. engineering they like what, cannot meh. and face the ugly truth that their starting pay is going to be higher than a noob media practitioner's starting pay. life was never fair. deal with it. as david archuleta once said, "The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have."
i'm such a complain queen. everyday in life i just complain. the world sucks lah seriously. then again. be the change you want to see in others. as cheesy as it sounds man. I CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. that's what we've been called to do anyway. turn this world upside down (which is actually the right side up cause its already the wrong way around) i sense myself going into the phase of unintelligent rambling now. i just wait eagerly for the day where the wars and violence cease, when creation lives in peace, and where there will be no weeping, no hurt, no pain, no suffering, no darkness, no sick, no lame. on that day when we see you face to face. (: when people stop leaping to their deaths because of A/O levels/0.9 GPAs.
i don't believe God won't give what i'm asking for. every single day i'm going to ask.

i'm waaay too picky with my clothes. see i only like very few things, and all these things happen to burn a hole in my pocket. so.. even though my friends spend X dollars on clothes, and i also spend X dollars on clothes, i get ONE set of clothes while they can get TEN. YT was looking at me drink water today. then she said: "WATER BOTTLE ALSO MUST STARBUCKS?" LOL. i almost laughed and choked on water or something..
then she moves on to point out:
starbucks, (bottle)
puma, (shirt)
levi's, (jeans)
nike, (shoes)
nike, (bag)
esprit, (wallet)
esprit, (jacket)
esprit, (belt)
WHY ALL BRANDED ONE?
HAHA. you see, that's why i am such a fashion disaster. i have expensive things but i only have ONE of each thing. my friends have 10 000 bags that fit different purposes. i always carry that one nike bag. (or the other girly one) epic fashion disaster. i only have ONE esprit jacket which cost mum 130$ and i wear it everywhere, while people have many to suit different outfits. HAH. i'm seriously a sucker. lol.
anyways. school is getting highly boring and stressful too. MARKETING COMMUNICATION my best friend always and forevermore. :) love you <3

today i came home feeling like a hungry bear, so i decided to take my dinner myself automatically (i don't usually do) and i sat down in the hall and started to eat. feeling bored, i turned the TV on to channel 8, 7pm show. one of those typical family tree shows where a few love stories go on and some family issues happen. so there was this scene of this boy running away from home after school cause he scared the mother scold and didn't get good enough grades.
with all honesty, i've been struggling with getting good grades all my life, and what i get never ever ever seems good enough. i'm very thankful that my parents have NEVER ever expected anything much out of my grades. they always just say, just try your best. having said that, i always put unnecessary pressure on myself because in singapore where we live in, every kid has the same set of values instilled in them and that is, grades are very very important. 6 points, 4 As, 4.0 GPA. that is all we need. this has got to stop, really. i was just watching the drama and i was thinking, if this really happens in homes in singapore, something has to be done about it. those poor kids, really. watching dramas like these and "i not stupid" really connects with the average singaporean kid.
and i officially decide that i will never ever ever tell my kids that their grades aren't good enough. if they didn't even try their best, i'll figure out another way to discipline them. whatever it is, just don't ask: "why you never get better result than ___________?" and the worst is.. why only 99/100? omgoodness i give anyone full permission to slap me if i ask my kids that.
TGIF. its actually thursday night, but friday is coming and i just realized how fun fridays are, cause friday is photoshop and illustrator day. cool to the maximum. plus, we spend the day at the newly renovated FMS block and i absolutely love it. one sem into my new school, i officially say that i enjoy studying so much more than while i was in cedar. hmmm. speaking of cedar, homecoming.. i should go for homecoming. its going to be a walk back to our new campus. that is quite exciting. but unfortunately i'll be in korea on that day, so we'll see how that works out. one day i'll go visit the new campus for sure. :)
