Woahh, can't believe that I haven't blogged for close to a month! but very fortunately, blogspot allows me to backdate my entries, so I can still blog about 28th July as if it were today. YAYY!!

28th July.. really is a special day.. don't you agree?

I do think so, because on this day, I was blessed with a lot of love from everyone, especially my family, best friends, sec 4 classmates and JC classmates. It may seem a little late to say this only now, but THANK YOU all so much for showing me so much love this 18th birthday. I love you all too! 사랑해요!!

To my sec 4 classmates: WeIlInG (thanks sweetie, for trying to surprise me), BeCkY, HuIwEn, BoNg, LiViA & JuStEa, thank you for taking time out and celebrating such a special moment with me. Haha and although the cake was super mushy (haha pun intended) it brought much joy to a lot of people such as me (definitely!) and my hungry classmates XD so thanks! It's been a nice journey with ya all the past 3 years, and I really hope that these friendships will extend past JC life into the future! So friends forever =)

Also, to the people who gave me the balloon, I'm assuming WeIlInG and BeCkY(?), 真的太谢谢你(们)了! How'd you know it was my dream all along to get one of those balloons for my birthday!! And though it might not be obvious then, I was really, really happy in my heart. Just so you know, the lovely balloon is still flying high now, buoyed by your love for me!

To my JC classmates: qIQi, yInYuN, niSsA, pAvEe, tRa, qUe, aMaNdA (the green alien) and everyone else who wished me happie birthday in the card, thank you so much too! Also, a huge Thank You goes out to qIqI. I really appreciate all the effort you put into the humongous card, with the many piggy stickers and drawings of pigs (haha but moderation is good too, lest people think I'm a piggy). Regardless of whether it was made of flimsy paper or not, I will still treasure it!! As for yInYuN, yes, I'm glad to have become best friends with you too =) haha and is it just mere coincidence (that great minds think alike) or not *guffaws* that you chose to write one of my favourite poems in the little notebook? HAHA please don't tell me that it was just because your lit textbook was lying around.. and with that huge empty space in the notebook.. XD

To my best friends since long-longg-time ago: BeAtWeE and eMeLiA, haha although we didn't manage to have a birthday party like dear emelia *eyes her enviously LOL* with super lots of balloons, banners and homemade cakie, the simple dinner out at J8, along with the chat at the CC was enough. The most important thing was your company after all :) we've been through so much things together, so I think you don't need me to tell you how much I appreciate you guys right?

As for the rest of the people who wished me happy birthday, like jO, prob JuNnIe(?), sEaN, thanks too. Glad that at least you guys remembered..

Hmm and who else? *drumroll*

Of course, not forgetting my SWEET family who had who-knows-how-many birthday dinners with me.

Thanks mummy and daddy for giving me life on the 28th July, 1992.

Thanks mummy and daddy, for loving and taking care of me all these years.

Thanks jiejie, for always being there for me (though you could be even nicer if you closed your stall at the fishie market ^^)

Thanks jiejie, for giving me the first card you've ever made in your life.

I really enjoyed the special schedule you drew up for me on my birthday - with the birthday lunch at ViVi, then homie for some rest, before moving to KBoX@scape and finally, a birthday dinner at Swensons. I might not be able to make yours as enjoyable this year, as I will be too busy with my exams preparations to carry out the usual but no worries! I will make up for it once my exams end okayy ^^

~정말 행뵥하세요~

P.S. it's a bit troublesome to put the pictures here, so see the next post for them!

Just got all my exam papers back this week and well.. the grades aren't very good.. (sigh.. this feels so familiar, and in a bad way too.. cos it feels like just yesterday that I was commenting on my as-dismal ct1 results..) I thought I would improve this time round because I really, really did study hard during the June hols, and though I did do much better for 1 subject, my other grades are still hovering around or have slipped to mediocre churros.

Gee.

And the worst part is that my geography grade, which I have been painstakingly maintaining at a nice little snug B, has dropped to a jaw-dropping, eye-poppping and vein-bursting C.. To think I even foolishly imagined that I would finally get an A this time round because I was really confident about my answers then.. I thought I had nailed all the answers since I studied everything that came out in the exam, and knew how to answer them but apparently, that wasn't enough. It sucks big time ya know.. considering how I slogged like a mule during the hols, desperately cramming bits of information into my already-overtaxed brain, only to get such results.. *drags demoralised self to a dark corner and emos*

But there's really no point in dwelling on the past, no matter how discouraged I feel, so I guess all we can do is to move on and work harder? (psst.. I wonder if there's a limit as to how hard we can work -_- cos I keep saying I should work harder and harder Zzz) But my GP seriously cannot-make-it so if you, by any chance know the secret to success for GP, come whisper it in my ear!!! Hahaha I will be grateful for eternity =D

Anyway 气馁归气馁, I had to pamper myself a little for working so hard during the June hols too so during the past 2 weeks, I made a little time for my sister and I to go watch moovies!! We watched Despicable Me and Inception and gosh, both movies are good! Inception deserves special mention for its superb storyline, awesome film effects and stellar cast (who can forget the charismatic Leonardo and endearing Arthur), and frankly, mere words do it no justice.. so GO WATCH IT to find out exactly how good the movie is! And remember to put on your thinking caps before you go watch it, lest you end up mongchacha (if you don't get it, then nevermind =))

Oops, I was supposed to start doing work 14 mins ago so I shall stop here for today~

And not forgetting.. Time for some nice music videos now!!

HELLOOOOOOO~

Wheeee I'm back after 12 days!! ~(^-^)~"

*starts clearing the cobwebs hanging around*

Haha I think it's totally amazing that I haven't touched the computer at all from the 28th to the 9th =D because it just goes to show that teens aren't perpetually plugged into the virtual world after all, right? and that we aren't all just mere hopeless internet zombies XD hahaha

Anyway, I actually had super-a-lot to blog about regarding the June hols but cos I'm feeling too tired to type everything, or rather, even anything more than this now, I shall just let the pictures speak for themselves.. Frankly, I took around 2 hours to piece all the photographs together, but surprisingly, it wasn't tiring at all.. in fact, it made me feel happy. *beams* Haha at least I didn't have to subject my exhausted brain to more mental stress if I chose to type instead.

So enjoy the beautiful and cute photos!

Let's hope for the best tomorrow..

(may the German force be with me and help me demolish my exams like they did England)

Woah, the World Cup this year is seriously jinxed, and definitely not making any punters' day out there better because all the good, world-class teams are either drawing (可现在不是学画画的时间!) or losing.. Just look at the string of matches recently:

France-Mexico: 0-2 (shock-o-meter O_o!!)
England-Algeria: 0-0 (shock-o-meter O_o !!!!!)
Germany-Serbia: 0-1 (shock-o-meter O_o !!!)
Spain-Switzerland: 0-1 (shock-o-meter O_o!!!!)
USA-Slovenia: 2-2 (shock-o-meter O_o !)
Brazil-N.Korea: 2-1 (shock-o-meter O_o !!)

Have the great and mighty really fallen!!

Instead, all hail the vuvuzelas and jabulanis! (psst.. it's a wonder nobody's gone deaf yet)

Still, I really hope that Germany will make it to, at least the semifinals; whereas S.Korea can make it to the quarterfinals.. 대한민국 화이팅 화이팅 화이팅!!

Oh and before I forget, I just wanted to talk a little about Orchard river.. while it may seem rather amusing to people how the most famous and expensive shopping district in S'pore turned into a muddy canal in an afternoon (it's alright to joke about it in a light-hearted manner cos it's really quite funny, but draw the line at malice and sarcasm), I feel that all the criticism from S'poreans that followed the incident was totally unwarranted. One particular comment that got on my nerve was about how S'pore resembled a "third world country" just because Orchard road flooded... Oh yea? Cos if that were really true, then (wow!) you are currently living in a third world country which floods everytime it rains and yet which allows you to sit comfortably in front of your computer, within the comfort of your (possibly highrise) home while typing such ludicrous comments on yahoo? It doesn't take a third world drainage system for a flood to occur(nor an intelligent brain to understand this) when more than 60% of a month's rainfall falls over the central area in one afternoon, toopidd.

People who make such irresponsible comments (if you think yours are justified, then self-exempt yourself) should have been thrown into the "river" then to soak up the water like sponges. Toopid sponges.

._. urgh it's really late now.. I shall go sleep now so that I can wake up really early tomorrow to finish my tuition homework (gary seriously stresses me out).. Nities~

Stressed..

There's simply too much work and too little time.

But what can I say?

Life is anything but easy..

All we can do is to make the best out of everyday, I guess.. and try not to keep feeling tired and falling asleep.. I really want to study hard for the upcoming exams, but the will isn't exactly strong enough.. urgh.. JIAYOUU
