it is indeed nice taking a step back to look at life from a different perspective. by just reflecting on my past year, i realise that i have been moving fast, too fast indeed. meeting new people and leaving the old true friends two steps behind. not updated about my current life. if any of u guys happen to chance upon my blog, i would like to apologise to you.

i just had an OG bbq today. and deborah, sharon, bryan, wanting and i were engineering some kissing photos. with the camera in certain positions, you can look like you're in a rather compromising postion sometimes. interesting huh?

met another of my brother's gd friends. she was lovely, very cute. i was rather curious to find out that she was attached to a photog guy who was in my OG. well, they say love IS blind... oh, thanks for waiting with me for my parents at the gate. you know i hate to wait alone.. and for solving that bloody probability question this afternoon. you're a really wonderful person. thanks a mil, brother:)

childlike.
The little plants
inch
out
the fresh, muddy soil;
just
newly watered with the light summer rain

Their vision envelopes the vast field they are planted in;
edges
obscured by taller and more stout plants,
formulating their first opnions
of the
vast
wide
world.

Leaves unfurl
Roots tentatively grasp at pebbles
furtively searching for sources of nuture

All in a desperate attempt to anchor themselves to earth
before the next big gust of wind uproots them
or injestion by a wild animal (yum!)

Fate is kind to most
Air, water and fertilizers are abundant.
However,
cruel to few nonetheless.
A few fail to assimilate these...

they are hoed up by the farmer
discarded; deleted.

The survivors;
given the best conditions
money can buy.

Unaware;
that two fields apart
are plants left to fend for
themselves.

not again. my net's really screwed these past few days. and its a bummer as SDD is so near. can't seem to dl stuff from the council server. on a rare occasion, today, it worked.
the dance lessons and modelling sessions for the pageant finalists are going on rather smoothly. just a tad worried about those who don;t turn up for lsns. coz they might nt be able to catch up.

i baked cookies today. chocolate chip, cashew and oatmeal. i tried to put in chocolate sauce into the cookie and it exploded in the oven. well, nt so much as exploded but the chocolate just oozed out and charred the aluminum foil. well. except for these, overall, the cookies were a success:)

i'm gonna get my killer heels tmr after the dance lessons.

cheers,
carene

i'm am so glad today! i've finally secured my oscar statue for the SDD decor!! thought that there would be lots of red tape or whatever not, but all it took was a phone call to secure it. at least sth is so going my way. and the prog that i'm supposed to do is quite settled too:)

i went to vivo with jit today. the shopping trip was fun and the company's great (that is another compliment, jit.) as i was wearing my baby pink heels, my feet were almost killed at the end. that's the price to pay for beauty, i guess. and it's still hurting. it's NOT FAIR. why can't eople invent heels that do not hurt even when you run in them for a marathon?

oh, xinhui. i will be able to go to your slp over without having to go to VJ. hahas. coz mansoor postponed the packing of goodie bags to the 30th. two days after your slpover:) looking forward to hanging out with you guys. thanks for the post too. i love you lots.

night,
carene

2006-11-05T06:41:00.000-08:00

i'm not exactly relaxed. there're tons of other kinds of challenges coming on.
ie. SDD, the NTU research, Youth Camp, Orientation1... just to name a few
i'm not complaining. these events totally make my life rock:) i enjoy working(and playin) with these people.

went to my dearest sis, xinhui's b'day lunch t bugis st lvl 2 with baey and her bro. it was fun:) get the scoop from her blog.

i think baey and i look werid in this pic, but who cares? it's taken with my razr so the quality's rather sketchy..

cheers,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BERNICE!!!

it's the 4th of sept. see, i could NEVER forget your B'day:)

an imporatant Lesson i learnt yesterday:

ever bought organic vegetables?
well, my mother does, often. the thing about them is that they are not fertilized artificially or sprayed with any kind of pesticide, insecticide or whatever cides known and they cost like around 1-2 times more than normal vege.

so she decided to buy some from a new supplier(some restraunt that sells organic food's kitchen). so then, when she proudly showed us her purchase, there was this white thing stuck in the package between the lush leaves of the kailan.

on closer inspection, i realized it was a butterfly. omg! then i saw two little green blighters on the leaf. and screamed. coz i was really shocked. these caterpillars were still alive after being stuck in the fridge for so long.

after dismantling the package and critically examining its contents i tallied a list of unwanted stowaways:

4 caterpillars
4 chrysalis
1 butterfly

a butterfly emerged from another chrysalis which i was counting. that little guy by my side all of last night while i was studying and flew away this morn.
and i think one of the butterflies died trying to come out from it's cocoon, coz it was shrivelled and black.

current stats:
3 fat caterpillars, 1 skinny caterpillar
2 chrysalis (one green and the other brown- think the butterfly's gonna emerge anytime soon)
2 pretty butterflies
1 dead butterfly

yes, i decided to keep them as my pets.
ciao.

PW is such delight. editing bits and pieces of broken english. trying to make sense out of a paragraph that goes in circles with having a proper conclusion or point in even writing that paragraph. (haha, try understanding the last sentence and you'll emphatise with my predicament). and lastly, finding SOURCES!! this totally is a charm man, i swear. been doing this since last night.

On the sunny side, my GP grades will rocket coz of all my editing.

Went shopping after my meeting with Prof Li with Maziah, my fellow research mate. and i bought this really gorgeous top from topshop. (to ashwin: i picked brown in the end. they didn't even stock black.) Orchard is such a convinient place to meet up for a chat. i mean, it really has everything you need.

i am going to take a break from all this editing. gonna interview SDD pageant finalists now. oh, did i forget mention, my interview with this particular soccer player took an over hour to complete? there were only eight questions involved. in truth, it was fun. perhaps journalism might be another alternative to being a plastic surgeon.

ciao.

i am going to start typing my SDD minutes after this page has been uploaded. I am nt gonna be an inefficient secretary. well, lately, i've discovered how to replicate BBQ perfect mashmallows at home without the charcoal and firestarters.

By using a toaster to supply the heat:)

unfortunately, justin left the entire pack of mashmallows in the open and nw, it's infested with red ants, the most disgusting creepy crawlies alive. sigh.

thank goodness for the ingenious invention of dota, or i won't have an outlet to vent my frustrations.

and thanks to van for excellent advice today. shall go to u for advice in future:) you rock.

gosh, on tues was the fash parade for the pageant nominees of Senior Dinner and Dance. organised by jireh, lay peng and me:)
facts:
30 nominees
clubbing- casual wear
catwalk song: Hips don't lie- shakira
temperature- sean paul
most outrangeous person: ashwin, who wore only swimming trunks and a tight red diving top
highlights/anti climax: francis and zihua, dressed as vj nerds. guess there had to have some rebels amongst the nomiees.

played floorball today with my seniors. hahas, i've set my mind on mastering that sport. it's rather addictive, and you get really high after playing. one of them spilt their pants while goal keeping. it's quite funny actually...

wells, shall concentrate on EoM nw:)
ciao.

2006-07-21T07:41:00.000-07:00

i'm am RELIEVED.
as the council trip i/c, britney and i planned a trip to pangkor island. for 4 days and three nights. as for the other i/c, a, he is practically nonexisitent. And to top it, is a yes-man. it's a beachy kinda place.
i think it's a great achievement, as we did this in about three days. From planning to execution. now, all that's left is the transaction. gracias. did i mention, the trip will happen in about two weeks' time. thank goodness for brit and her wonderful contact, and the lovely travel agent.

there's gonna be another Senior Dinner and Dance meeting tomorrow to update other Co.s on our latest developments.NINE AM, in VJ!!!! that is damn EARLY!!! this aside, i wanna watch the internal entertainment auditions. i shall persude Lubin to let me sit in and laugh at the performers. that's evil. ok, i'll scratch the last sentence. replace it with: have a first hand at experiencing high standards of the in house performers.

shall rest now.
night.

2006-07-15T19:16:00.000-07:00

PW is the most useless subject on earth.

1.you don't get a very clear set of information on how to carry about doing it
2.it requires you to look into things that are boring and monotonous (ie.search for sources throughout the internet about development of busking in sgp, when u know that this isn't really documented here. oh, and don't bother looking thru books. í gurantee you'll vomit blood after this)
3.the written report and EoM forces you to sacrifice your shopping and sleeping time over it.

well, bitching over this will not help; so i'd better grit my teeth and start on this labourious job.

2006-07-10T06:53:00.000-07:00

went out yesterday for a family gathering and watched superman. i thought kevin spacey was cute, but he was rather stiff as superman. wells, i watched the world cup too. italy WON!! i was so happy, altho it was only on penalities. poor zidane got sent off for headbutting materazzi. but he should know better than on the pitch, nothing besides the soccer ball can be headbutted:)
mrs chan gave us a half day today. it was lucky as if there wasn't one, i would've fallen asleep during econs and bio lecs. i had time to conduct all my mtgs and reached home super early for a monday ---three:) went to popular at sing post to get the alchemist, a wonderful book, but there was NONE. instead of stocking GOOD books, they stock- well, this word'll be censored. sheesh, man.
i'm sure that MPH stocks that book. i'll get it tomorrow.

2006-07-05T07:31:00.000-07:00

Germany LOST to Italy 0-2. All goals were conceded in extra time. It was the most boring match i've ever watched, next to england's match. It was as though i was back in the lecture theatres again...
speaking about Lts, today, i dropped my stuff three times on tim's head. hahas, he was awfully nice abt it. bernice, bet u must be smirking.
I was made the I/C for the council overseas trip at the council mtg this aft. well, where shall we go to? it sounds totally fun. i'm determined to enjoy the planning process as much as i can. i have in mind someplace with a rustic feel, but we shall see about this.

cheers,
carene.

ps. Portugal's playing France later. Look out for the cute guys in the portugese squad!

2006-07-04T05:42:00.001-07:00

4th of SEPT.

this post'll remind me of your birthday.

2006-07-04T05:21:00.000-07:00

Bernice, i'm totally sorry i can't remember your birthdate. well, when u photocopy tt piece of paper, i'll find out. Hahas.
Tonight, Germany is playing Italy. Hopefully the Germans win. It's totally embarassing to lose on home ground. i'll be watching them later.

night,
Carene.

ENGLAND deserves to win

2006-07-02T03:14:00.000-07:00

england Vs. portugal final score: 1-3 on penalities.

ENGLAND deserves to win. that was my final verdict after catching the game England Vs. Portugal this morn. it was so sad. stupid Rooney had to just get a red in the middle of game. but england fought bravely, despite having 10 men. Paul Robinson, i agree, sucks at penalities. 10 men england was enough to stop the attack form the 11 men portugal team. what more with 11 men?
Rooney just HAD to get that red. what a twist of fate.

France Vs Brazil final score: 1-0
Unexpected. the bookmakers must have made a windfall today. like, seriously. i was woken up by my brother's announcement. congrats, France.

my first

2006-07-02T03:02:00.000-07:00

the exams are finally over. and i'm as free as a bird. had time to update my blog and, change the skins. magnifique. Do give me your opnions regarding my latest designs. mom and dad are currently overseas, in the land of smiles, in some club med retreat. bought a mango top the day before--- a blue and white striped collar shirt. perfect for a casual day out. went out with rosel and jehanne and we had dinner at nydc. did i mention that the cookie monster mudpie was fab? it simply ROCKS!

2006-03-08T22:44:00.000-08:00

recipe for COOKIES

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Farenheit. In a mixing bowl mix 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of brown sugar (you have to get it with a spoon so it doesn't compact in your measuring cup), 2 softened sticks of butter, 1 tsp of vanilla. Add 2 eggs, one at a time. In a separate bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of flour and a tsp of baking SODA and (if you wish) a tsp of salt. Then add 2 cups of choc chips. Cook for 9-11 minutes or whenever brown. These cookies spread a lot on the sheet, so be careful of making them so big that they run into each other.

cheers,
Carene.

2006-02-11T05:32:00.000-08:00

went to element at Amara today for hi tea. the food there was not too bad. i loved the chicken curry that went with the prata. oh, and the green tea cake. i'm a sucker for tea.(correction, chinese tea) english tea only smells nice la. i never add milk or sugar to tea. think it spoils the natural flavor of the tea. then, it was to orchard's popular to get my bio textbook. i found one left--- a torn and tattered copy. naturally, i refused to get it. now, i'm stuck with no textbook. and i have bio hw to complete. sheesh. then it was to taka. they've got great chocs there. oh, i didn't know they stocked purple hersheys. but i bought a ton of them.

Overall, i did ok for my Os. i screwed humans again. B3 and B4. it looked so ugly beside the rest. sheesh man. but honestly, i couldn't have done it without my dedicated teachers at SCGS and my tution teachers at Aspen. i've got them to thank for the results i've gotten. really. the Os results revealed to me that i'm really a science student at heart. all of my math and sci subs scored As whereas the humans were Bs. oh, i managed to pass higher chinese. B3. imangine that! i was so surprised coz i thought i would fail. i was looking for a D7 in my card. then, there was like, none.

it was so malu la... i started crying even before i got the results la. lol.

well, alls well that ends well.

cheers

2006-02-09T16:22:00.000-08:00

i'm ultra super nervous about my results. what if i screw lit? or english?(TOUCH WOOD) i would be like, so dead. in a few hours' time i would be down collecting the fruits of my labour. i really, really hope to do well (like, 6pts). it's my results. they're the most important thing to me in this world. it is ranked above shopping and netball. think that's probably why i'm so nervous about them...

so please give me best wishes and good luck and the courage to look at my report card. (altho i wouldn't mind an exponential rainbow)

before that, i still have to go Vj for council. Oh, btw, i got past the interviews and will be running for council. haha... interesting right? the voting's like for two weeks and will end on the 22nd. i'll start campagining on v day. it is all so FUN. speaking of which, i havent bought flowers for Vday and chocs... i passed millenia walk yesterday but totally forgot to go to Candy Empire. i love the chocs there. they're absolutely fabulous.

tata... heading for sch now.

2006-02-09T06:27:00.000-08:00

to all recieving their O level results tomorrow: Best Wishes and may you get as many A1s as possible!
cheers.

2006-02-03T01:43:00.000-08:00

sorry guys... i've not been writing for sooo long.
it has every bit to do with laziness and schoolwork AND sleep. it just isn't fun being on cough med for the past week with the label 'may cause drowsiness' and sleeping during bio and econs lect. it's seriously not my fault. Go crash my lects someday and you'll understand my pains. seriously.
i've got so many appointments for the past few weeks. so many, in fact that it seems super overwhelming. last fri night: out with genia, xinhui, guang, yiwei, bro, dadajie and weizhang for my bday celeb.
sat:reunion lunch AND dinner.
sun:visit relatives
mon:relatives and jessica's party.
tues: huiling's dana.
wed: cross ctry(that's not a bad thing--- gotta lose weight) and jts at night at fish and co. till nine(reached home at ten)
fri night:dinner outside
sat(tomorrow): og outing and visiting chengyi's place at night. it's a real pity i've got to miss huiling's wedding prep.

the jts was actually quite fun. i found out that i've got realli cool seniors(yes, eunice, shu and the rest of 05s25). haha... did enjoy myself that night. eunice was red from the lime teq, but she didn't get drunk. sheesh. the simple pasta was average but i loved the swordfish dish, altho it was rather tricky to handle. (you see, they serve you the entire fish head)

i'm missing the igloo launch coz my mom isn't too happy with me going out so often. (sorry, sharon) it's a real shame, coz i have this hunch that the launch is going to rock.

tata for now.

2006-01-17T06:12:00.000-08:00

ok...
this entry is gonna b a real short one.
i have piles of unfinished tutorials and am coming back at six on the ave. Netball's on mon, wed and fri. and tues end at five. no life sia... econs lecs are realli boring and usually the class has to get an extra supply of sweets to keep us awake. (it's illegal tho)
but, i'm still enjoying myself. think all the freedom of jc comes at a price. gotta be realli disciplined and all that. love the schl's motto --- study hard and play hard.

night, guys. gotta finish econs tutorial.

2006-01-01T06:16:00.000-08:00

Nice ambience, great food.
That's Baccarat for you. It's an absolutely fabulous place to dine. All the dishes are exquisitely served in bite sized pieces on tiny platters (think zen). The scallops are really good--- pan seared and garnished with garlic, served on shells. They have nice silken tofu and the steamed egg was smooth. Oh, and the deserts are heaven. The Tiramisu was served with the right texture. Moist with a layer of chocolate on the top. I loved the almonds dipped in white chocolate. There was ice cream (hand made) which i had fun dipping in the chocolate fountain and watching the chocolate sauce freeze on the mango ice cream right before my very eyes.
i've got to excercise lots tomorrow, i bet i ate like, 10kg of food tonight. sheesh.
Night!

2005-12-29T07:36:00.000-08:00

sheesh, it's so HARD to pick a nice bag.

I had decided on crumpler a few weeks ago and yesterday, when i saw it, i immediately change my mind. Terrible. Sometimes i can't stand myself. I'm as fickle minded as the weather, only more unpredictable.

Then there was a white roomy bag from Outfitters'. i liked it alot, but the only problem was that it was WHITE(thank you, weizhang); so it would b hard to maintain. so in the end, nothing bought. but a chance of getting a nice school bag was offered(thank goodness). I'll pray HARD that it's nice. haha...

When i went down to buy cakes for bfast tomorrow after dinner, there was this stranger who went like, nice legs. it was super embarassing. i just blushed. How i wished i could've said sth evil back. My reflexes are really appalling. sheesh. It's creepy to think how many thick skinned people there are in this tiny world.

night.

2005-12-17T17:39:00.000-08:00

hey, this is pt two. i tried to do this on fri, but the blogger crashed on me, hence, i refused to continue. here's my second attempt.

beautiful isn't it? another picture of gu lang yu.

this picture is actually part two of a joke. the sign of this piano museum said' NO PICTURES IN THE MUSEUM' so it should be technically right to take the interior of this museum when i'm not in the premises!!

i found this poseur goat in the village. it didn't need me to ask and it willingly stood up and posed for my cam. nice.

here's the second floor of my relative's home. the bedrooms are all behind me... oh, that's the activity the adults indulge in every single night--- talking. i'm not complaining--- we can have the vcr and computer to ourselves.

the exterior of the house. the two little boys are my cousins from china, jin jiang.

and, this IS how they dry salted fish.

a fascinating clock, taken late at night, indoors.

2005-12-12T23:10:00.001-08:00

hey guys, here's the pics i promised:

that's in one of the many gardens we visited. (xi1 hu2) yes, that is the goddess of mercy in the bg.

brother dearest aka the jinx who caused to cameo to show 'battery exhausted' immediately after this shot. (i wanted to take a pic with the beautiful scenery!!) ignore the guy, just look at the bg. sigh. i couldn't shoot the thousand year old lychee tree in this park.

guess what's this used for?? (the closest ans gets a prez!)

NOTE: this contest is not open to those who have been in this trip to china with me.

The peeps in the fujian region believe in Mazu. This is the Mazu temple, atop a little scarcely populated island. (hell, it was COLD there!)The sea winds were really sth. They attempted to blow my pretty scarf away. There's no point showing pics of people taken here, beacuse their hair was so messed up that they could've passed for kingkong without makeup. (they'll sue me for defamation!)As for the rest, well, were not lookers, so, yeah.

How delicious. i get to stand under the board that pissed chen shui bian off badly.(As he insisted that China and Taiwan were two seperate countries) there's another board in white on the Taiwanese side that is put up in retaliation, but i was too far to see the words/take that pic. standing from my angle, i can spy taiwan.

This is my fave shot of the trip. it's taken on an island (Gulangyu, in Xiamen) where cars and motorbikes and any petrol consuming vehicles are BANNED. So, naturally, no petrol stations can be found here.(haha)

ta-ta for now... i'll continue with part TWO tomorrow.

travel itinery

2005-12-01T19:05:00.000-08:00

You know when you give your love away
It opens your heart, everything is new
And you know time will always find a way
To let your heart believe it's true
You know love is everything you say
A whisper, a word, promises you give
You feel it in the heartbeat of the day
You know this is the way love is

Amarantine

Love is always love

You know love may sometimes make you cry
So let the tears go, they will flow away
For you know love will always let you fly
How far a heart can fly away

Love is always love

You know when love's shining in your eyes
It may be the stars fallen from above
And you know love is with you when you rise
For night and day belong to love

I went shopping with genia and yue guang yesterday... it was quite funny... haha... genia and i tried to drag him to take neoprints but he simply refused after our persuation. In the end, we had to edit him in manually.(he is represented by a pink stick figure labelled 'ah guang' in one of the neoprints) We went all the way to wisma and then all the way to cinni. genia insisted that there was a levis' in cinni( U are SO wrong, genia) beacuse we wanted to visit jessica. Oh, yue guang didn't have the slightest inkling who jessica was until we met her. After that, he was like, u shld have said jessica ONG. Considering they had attended at least half a years'worth of dharmma talks at BF together, it's really remarkable. I didn't buy that book i saw in kino (arnasi boys); instead i bought 'the life of pi'. i'm at chapter seven now. perhaps i'll write a book rev here after i'm done with it. This book is an enchanting read.

i've decided to start packing today. After all, the trip is three days away. (in goes all clothes that look woolly and cozy and warm.)

k, ciao...

a haircut

2005-11-22T23:52:00.000-08:00

i went for a haircut today at Jantzens (GreatWorld City). the lady was realli nice... haha... coz i asked her whether i shld perm my hair for prom then she gave me a temp perm without charging. how nice... haha, i think coz it's that í freq there that she doesn't charge...

should i keep my hair straight or perm it? i'm like, totally in a dilemma.

well, i got a nice eyeliner today at sasa. thanks to man-ge! and the sweat shirt i ordered at sch came in. it's really nice, with SCGS on the front and my name at the bottom right corner in white. it's black with SCGS in gold with sliver outline. it looks very chic.

ciao for now.

on a wet tuesday afternoon....

after three hours, i've finally finished doing up my blog... like the pretty background? haha... it is a technological accomplishment for me!

i searched the net for sooooo long before finding that perfect background... then i uploaded in into my server and voila, my new page. oh, and everytime i clicked onto a second command in my server, it jammed.so i had to re-logon again. really a test of my patience...

gimme your comments k?

oh, i caught harry potter and the goblet of fire yesterday. it was, in a nutshell, fleeting. when u watch it, you'll have this feeling that the diector is trying to squeeze the entire book into two and a half hours, as all the scenes are gone very quickly. he places equal emphasis on every single scene, so the overall effect is a little overwhelming. i feel that if he had varied the emphasis (the screen time allocated) on different events, this movie would have been better.

the acting was good, i admit. the actors carried off their characters very well, except i felt that moody didn't look like what i imagined him to be. (he should be short and skinny, instead of short and fat) ron's hair sucked too. haha...

well, ciao for today!

i'm back!!

the Os are so yesterday now. i'm pretty free now, to do stuff that i like, (not that i hate studying--- like, doing sth different, for a change...)
i've got to clean up my bedroom... haha... i've been sleeping for the past few months in a nest of warm cozy textbooks and notes. and all the clothes are like all over...
then, i'll do a spot of shopping. oh, i bought this realli nice white knit cap from Forever 21 on friday. and i need to get heels for PROM. my goodness, it's like five days away and i STILL do not have shoes!!! *sigh*
