  On the 26th it was Geraldine's birthday and on the 27th, my sis's. Anyway, Ophthalmic Optics Prac Assessment is on Mon and I'm super scared ! Can't seem to do hand neutralisation; no, at all. Whatever I record is always inaccurate. ): Accuracy for hand neutralisation is +/- 0.50D. Now, I can only hope and pray that my recordings will be within the range of accuracy. There's absolutely no way I'm gonna flunk this alright ! ): I'm also very daunted by Clinical Optometry's Prac Assessment which comes after that. And I'm not as fortunate as the rest of my classmates who got people from my class as subjects to work on for the assessment. My subject's from another class ! Thankfully, it's Hui Hui's cousin, Ke Jie so it isn't that bad. After all, we did talk before so that makes us acquaintances. Heh. I'm also the subject for Kay Minn ! UMMMMMM ~ ~ ~ Don't really know her but I certainly wish her all the best cos she has struck lottery by getting one of the most difficult subjects EVER. X: Many have given feedback that my eyes are VERY hard to do retinoscopy on as my pupils are really TINY, hence making it difficult to determine the reflex. However, some like Brian and Qing Yi say they're fine so I'm not sure either. T.T Nevertheless, my left eye's complicated and not many have achieved success in being able to correct it. Sigh.. Year 2 isn't any different from Year 1. I find everything snowballing up into a bigger and bigger mass as each school day passes. -.- Oh BTW, I'm happy today cos I bought myself a top.. AT LAST ! Yeah, super random but who cares ? As long as I'm happy ~ ~ ~ :D I met the pervert in yellow singlet and shorts again, omfg. The one who tried to get fresh & stalked me about a month ago. -.- 27 May 2009
Don't feel like doing anything these days so I've been practising on the piano at home. I mastered 恶作剧 (It Started With a Kiss Theme Song) some time ago and now I'm moving on to learn 默默 (Ending Song of ToGetHer) ! :D A pity I stopped taking piano lessons at Grade 2 and it has been about 2 years since I stopped. If I had continued I'd most probably be in Grade 4 or 5 now. ))): What a waste. Well, at least I can still learn new songs on my own right ? Though my piano is gonna be sold off soon.. ): So in the meantime, I shall just make full use of it before it's gone then. Okay, that's about it. Pardon me if it doesn't sound very good cos I'm really bad in playing the piano and I'm a VERY slow learner as well. T_T ~ I shall upload 默默 once I've finished learning it. Hehe. But that'll probably take quite a while since I've already said, I'm S-L-O-W & lousy. Sigh.. ): Even though we ain't friends anymore, somehow... so inevitably, thoughts of you just cross my mind all the time and your name is always being mentioned in my daily conversation with others; be it family or friends. I myself can't figure out why. Maybe it's cos of the tonnes of shared memories between the both of us and I sure cherish them a lot. :) 23 May 2009
Current mood now = BAD. I'm really poor now and my bank account is almost $0. The little weekly allowance I get barely helps me to get by. And when I'm already so skinny, my mum can still propose a 'good' suggestion asking me to eat lesser & go w/o teabreaks. -.- It's not like I always shop too. It's been so long since I bought myself new clothes. So I don't know where all my $ has gone. Most of it has probably gone to food so maybe I should stop eating expensive food and go economical whenever I go out. A random thought today; I realised how people have been exploiting me cos of my receptive nature. Worse still, they do it for convenience w/o sparing a thought for me. I'm not bragging about myself here; it's just that I'm one who always gives in to others easily and often find it hard to say no to people. Well, this can be said to be both good and bad. If you look for me once or twice for small favours, it's pretty much fine with me and I'd be more than happy to help you. But if it becomes a habit then I don't think it's right. Don't take me for granted and see my kindness as a weakness. I'm also human. And I HATE it when people just don't give a damn about me sometimes yet when they need someone for company and can't find anyone, their last resort is to look for me. Excuse me, what do you take me for ? Nevertheless, true friends will never exploit one another. It's always a give and take be it in friendships, or other relationships. So from now on, for those people who take me for granted or for those who leave me in the lurch, only looking for me when they need company, just stop it pls. And I'm definitely gonna be firm about this from now on so I'll just ignore those people who exploit me for their own selfish reasons & benefits. Btw, I can also see who's sincere and who's fake, who likes me and who doesn't really. It's sad to know how some people don't quite like me and can still have the cheek to make use of me. I don't talk much but I make careful observations from the way people talk and react. It's all about psychology here. Thus, I may not be a clever person BUT I'm certainly not that stupid either. :) Sorry if this post sounds antagonising; it's not directed towards anyone though. Feeling super moody & pessimistic today. Life..... sucks. 20 May 2009
I'm back for an update! Sorry to have kept you waiting for quite some time now. Weeped silently for a while in bed last night and went to sch super duper shaggard and tired this morning. In fact, I overslept and didn't realise till I woke up at about 7.30am. T.T Thankfully, lesson was scheduled at 8.30am instead of 8. However, I totally dragged my feet all the way from home to sch (eyes hardly even opened), eventually deciding not to attend class since I wouldn't be able to concentrate anyway. Smsed Zubbie and told her I'll be going to the library and will see them all after class. But it turned out she arrived in sch even later than me. Ha. And, Qiao Yan knowing I haven't arrived in class, called to tell me Ms Suma wouldn't be teaching so I needn't come already. SO initially, though I had already decided not to enter class, I finally decided to go in after I met Zubbie. AND, we regrettted our decision. ZZZ. Ms Suma wasn't even around and everyone was just watching a video which lasted for a MERE 10 mins from the time we entered, wth. We would have totally wasted our time waking up early and going to sch IF NOT FOR extra lab which we had booked, thankfully. Prac went on quite smoothly today and I'm so pleased I've managed to finish my retinoscopy, hooray ! :D Also, the stupid me now knows how to do JCC already, kudos to Hui Ting and Brian who guided me. :) After prac, I met Wen + Jas where we had a filling lunch at Ajisen + a satisfying ice cream treat at MOF. Talked a lot & a lot about loads of random stuff and it was good. Dinner last night with the oh-so-familiar people (2-4 clique) was also great with non-stop laughing madness, ultra dirty talk and juicy gossips ! :X Hope to meet everyone of them again soon ! And double 'YAY's cos I can fit into Cotton On Body's lingerie. HAHA. >.< Having said that, I'm definitely gonna buy some soon ! Before I end my post, here are some random pics:
Sis & I in fanciful dresses, holding lollipop each; mine's a tulip while hers, a strawberry. HAHA. :D Her face looks so round and look at our eyes, hers is pretty small compared to mine. Haha. Still remember how cute she was when she was a little kid. ^^
Mr Cheeseburger Plain says, 'SMILE ~ Tomorrow will be a better day!' :)))
Pretty Geraldine & I on our way to Vivo last week :)
Today's sweet treats from MOF. *licks lips* :p I really have nothing more to say. Let nature take its course then. 13 May 2009
Sch was great today cos somehow, I wasn't so tired but in fact, quite chatty & talked quite a bit of nonsense. I think my classmates were amazed. Lol. However, if you know me well enough, you'll know I'm the type who can practically go bonkers at times & say or do the craziest things. I can even laugh so hard to the extent I literally start rolling on the floor. LOL. Conclusion: If you know me well enough, I'm actually not that quiet. The quiet me is sometimes just a facade. I was busy shooting Zubbie the entire day till she couldn't stand me. Hoho.. X: She kept saying I was 'lame' and 'evil'. HAHAHA. But actually, she's only using her size as an advantage over me; so unfair! Why lame? Cos I talked a lot of nonsense and used the chili sauce to make a smiley face on my double cheeseburger and why evil ? Cos I kept poking fun at her. ROFL. Anyway, I'm starting to love the company I have in sch. I used to be very quiet sometimes cos I couldn't find a reason why I was even attending sch. I hated everything about sch; the course, the lack of interaction & MY RESULTS. Now, I see things in a different light and from a different perspective so I'm not bothered about my calibre anymore. I mean.. if your calibre is just this much, it'll always be this much. Nothing can change one's calibre, right ? I guess what I'm capable of are only borderline passes so as long as I do my part, I will not live to regret after my 3 long and winding years in poly. Okay, for now, some 'little-known-facts' about ME. :D :D :D  I attended YWCA (Young Women's Christian Association)'s preschool near my old house when I was about 2 years old. And here is my Progress Report on my performance and etc. Dug it out from my cupboard a couple of days ago and what I saw inside kinda amused me and I myself find it quite hard to believe. O_o  Ta Da ~ The first page with my ugly & scrawny face on it. ._. Click on the pictures to enlarge if you are interested to see.  2nd & 3rd page of it says.. 1. At the age of 2 years and 9 months, I was only 89cm tall and weighed a mere 11.3kg. (Super small D:) 2. Everything is good except general health which is only 'satisfactory'. I've always been a weakling. ): 3. I have good hand-eye coordination & enjoy outdoor games. HAHA. Not so true anymore. 4. I'm a fast learner & love to listen to stories. (PS: I wish I'm still as intelligent as I was when young. ):) 5. My feelings are stable & secure. (Oh, really ?) 6. As for behaviour, I'm respectful and greet familiar adults most of the time. :D 7. I need to learn to share; mix well with the girls. (Haha ! Till now, I still mix well with mainly girls BUT I'm not selfish okay !) 8. I choose my friends and am a cheerful child. (WHAT ?! Hahaha.)  Remarks from my linguistic teachers.. Pretty good remarks from my English teacher, as you can see. BUT.. For Chinese, it's like W-T-H. Haha. '好动，多话' and another says '好动，玩皮' ?!?! Gosh, was I that mischievous ? I heard I was a 'little monster' but a very clever & outspoken infant then. X: Look below and you'll be even more shocked..  'Likes to scream' ROFL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And my Mummy says that's why my voice is a little coarse now. Cos when I was young, I was always shouting & screaming at the top of my voice, esp when I CRIED. -.- Haha.. but still, I was a teachable child so, yay ?? 07 May 2009
Sch is mainly about prac and MORE prac now. On one hand, I enjoy practical sessions but on the other, I'm always screwing up the procedures and stuff. Sigh. I completely embarrassed myself yesterday and it wasn't just once but THRICE. Zzz. From the start of Ophthalmic Optics prac, Ms Lek was already keeping me under her watchful eye cos I appeared totally blur. LOL. It took me a few attempts before I got the hang of the PD (pupillary distance) measurement but I'm pleased that I managed to complete all 14 subjects within the time span. :D However, till now I can't believe the stupid things I did while taking measurements for 2 of my subjects. With Yu Ping, Hui Hui & Qing Yi amongst my list of subjects, I was doing the cornea reflex for them shining the pen torch at MYSELF instead of into their eyes. =.= Tell me, how unbelievably stupid can I get ?! WTH. And of course, they were all laughing at me. SAD. ): Plus, the unlucky me couldn't find any subject at certain point in time and was asked to measure for Ms Yeoh first followed by Ms Lek. I was seriously feeling like an awful idiot. D: After sch, my DF Reenie accompanied me to my ENT appointment at NUH and we had to wear masks and have our temperature taken upon entering; what a hassle. I swear I wouldn't wanna make a trip to any hospital during this swine flu if not for all my health probs. -.- Thereafter, I accompanied her to JP to as she wanted to buy Mothers' Day present for her mum. This girl bought a very unique present okay ! Haha. Guess what it is ????? Drum roll, please ! :D . . . . . . . . . . . . AN INDUCTION COOKER. Surprised ?!?! It was so heavy that she had a hard time hugging the thing home. Haha. Bought dinner down to her house to eat before tuition with her bro, but he stole my chicken wing so I ended up eating mainly egg and rice. Poor thing right ? DD: Haha. During Clinical Opt prac today, we learnt how to use the Phoropter ! Managed to snap a picture of Geraldine + Sherlyn. Sherlyn looks so cute with her face behind the phoropter; just look at her in the pic below ! xD
After sch, I went for dental but as it was still too early for my appointment, I headed to Borders to browse thru' cookie recipe books. :D And then I met Zhuang Ying to pass her belated birthday present and we happened to chance upon LOW WEN YAN on her way to buy bread and ham, so she joined us at Mos Burger for tea as well. :) Okay, no more words and only pictures from yesterday and today ! 
My sis commented that I have high cheekbones. Is it supposed to be a good or bad thing ? LOL. Bye ~~~ 05 May 2009
Hello, I’m back ! First entry for the month of May. X: Blog updates getting lesser and lesser these days. Anyway, saw some people I’ve not seen for a long time over the past few days. On Labour Day, I saw my Secondary 4 Chinese tuition teacher (also famous song writer) 梁文福 and his wife, with their extended family having lunch at Boon Lay Raja. Sadly, I don’t think they remember me now. However, it’s no surprise cos I was only at the centre from Feb to May that year. Haha. X: Then just yesterday, I saw Ms Jane Ong at Lot1. Wow, it was like flipping ages since I last saw her; about a year ago I think. She’s looking much prettier now than she was while expecting her first child. Ha. Time just flies sooo fast that I even forgot her daughter’s already a year old. Oh my. TODAY - I saw Dr Zhu Mingxia ! Goshhh.. realised how much I miss her now that I no longer see her in class. She’s still the naggy ZMX but everything she says makes sense so.. there’s nothing I can do but agree with her. Haha. And DOPT03 peeps, she said she wants to visit us sometime next week, probably when we have CL prac at W1 ! :DD She wants to give us some small titbits, I think. What a sweet lecturer. :) Am SUPER DUPER SHAGGARD today. Slept really late; 1am+ this morning cos I was busy baking from 9pm last night. Went to sch looking as good as a zombie. Was trying to force my eyes open the whole time and my eye bags were really obvious. Having said that, I’m gonna do a short advertisement for my cookies now. :) Please, please support ! Thanks ! Mothers’ Day Promotion: Homemade Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Freshly baked bite size cookies with 2 different types of packaging !   Each type of packaging contains 100g of cookies.
