Rugby Sevens- last two days were spent with lise and zhen. we were supposed to be assisting the catering team, but since every position seems to be well-covered already, we spent most of the time watching the game from the corporate box (and moving into the air-conditioned rooms when the weather got nastier). free shirts, free food, free seats, free beer, and a chance to bump into the All Blacks team- i can have no complains :) the kenyans had the funkiest dance moves ever! if i had to generalise- the expats were busy getting drunk, the locals were busy placing bets (unless u are a SPG).
humans party. er, well, not many people turned up. but i broke my no-alcohol rule with a lime margarita at alley bar. the potato chips rock!
whee, suddenly everyone seems to be joining the bumming ranks. bangkok trip coming up guys! i'm psyched up already.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL & SHEILA!
so many birthday parties suddenly! okay only two, but still alot. it's so fun to regress into primary school gossip- almost as fun bitching about it now as it was 8 years ago. but i think my arm is slightly bruised now cos da kept hitting me :(
me and my proxy gym buddy lise (i'll make the switch in a month's time!) are totally addicted to gymming now. i almost bought sheila dumbbells for her birthday. i don't understand her look of horror when i told her that. why wouldn't anybody want their own cute little gym ball?
shauna was gonna get all serious and start on her new a job, but before anybody gets overly shocked, she does a shauna in the end.
me on msn: shaunie! how's day one of job?!?!
shauna: i'm in hong kong...
so a poor nursing home in singapore is left without their newly employed admin asst. that makes it 2 jobs u quit before even working for a day shauna loo.
if u are into online shopping, visit www.rachelandjudith.com cos my buddy rachiepoos makes 'em earrings!

i'm updating this because my dear friend meizhen is very bored. nus open house was very interesting, mostly because of shauna's ever-so entertaining family. it was also the day that my dear friend (whose name i will not reveal and no prizes for guessing who!) earned herself the unfortunate nickname 'Bloom and Blossom'.
i quit my job, and am once again, a burden to society. driving is beginning to get annoying, because i dislike being stucked in the circuit. i fail to see why mounting kerbs is such an unpardonable sin that it merits an immediate failure. it's just a bloody kerb damnit! nobody is gonna die if i mount a kerb or two. or three. parallel parking tmr, i think i'll sneak into the driving school and superglue the stupid poles to the ground first.
As part of the HQ Wee crew, I am very excited about our upcoming trip to thailand! pet has our itinerary all planned out, este wants to meet chulalongkorn, and sheryl will prob be the first person to kill herself through an overdose of tomyam soup.
i still can't believe my luck- not just in school and stuff, but just everything in general. i cannot be anymore fortunate than i already am.

Happy CNY, if anyone is still celebrating. My mom recently bought a scanner, and has been happily scanning away our photo collection. Looking at them make me feel nostalgic. I remember celebrating chinese new year 8 years ago, in that one truly traumatic year where I invited my friends, including a certain michelle goh over and she discovered the wonders of IRC. An eleven year old michelle masquerading as an adult male looking for adult entertainment. I don't think I've ever invited my friends over for new year parties again!
Last 2 weekends were spent with the girls. Da and Mz have finally broken their unofficial agreement to celebrate their birthdays together every year, which is good because it meant we got together twice instead :) I still laugh when I think about Mz's look when we gave her her 'present', a half-used pen wrapped in a Marche's serviette, although she refuses to admit (or deny) that she fell for it. And i hope da carries the bag we bought for her to work- just so that she can totally confirm her ditzy reputation. Rumin's going off to Australia, and i guess, some of us will be leaving this year as well. Anyway, take care Rumies :) Rachel is starting her own little money making venture. The last we heard of Shauna is that she's decided to permanently settle down in Shanghai because she can't find a job in Singapore. And Al wants to be a teacher.
And my wonderful first attempt at organising a class outing. It's really easy- initiate a get-together, and darling chris takes over (merci)! Thanks to Pet's (it's actually pronounced the same way as 'Petri' dish) friend for the wonderful free shots. We've been receiving good news recently, so I hope it continues!

I miss school- not because i miss the studying and learning- those i could do without, but because i miss having that feeling of purposefulness in my life. and the comfort and protection it offers. it's different with a job i think- in school, we were geppers, humans kids, top jc/sec sch students- whatever. it provides this sense of security? that for all the crap that comes attached with school lives, we were going places. and then comes the 6 months hiatus- we become temps/interns/clerks/waitresses/whatever- unimportant entities. they say we are meant to find purpose in life. but right now- we, or people like me at least, are in a little bit of a limbo- "students on vacation need not apply" "diploma holders and graduates only" "working experience required" "minimum 1 year commitment" . so at the supposed peak of my life- i'm feeling slightly aimless, unproductive, and doing a job not because i like or need it, but because i don't want to be totally inactive. this is not how i want to remember my 18th year.

8 days into the new year. I made a decision- I think I will look back and wonder what could have been- but then what else could I have done? In fact, in all likelihood, I probably did not have an alternative anyway- mere vanity on my part. I have never been very good at taking risks in my life and this was not a good place to start. I ought to slap myself for having such greedy thoughts.
I wish the new year will bring more good tidings for everyone. I am a lucky bastard and I pray my luck does not run out. And I'll pray for all of you as well. Good luck guys, we are in this together.
I wonder why I always end up being flippant when I really am not. I keep landing myself in these tricky situations I never intended for. I am 18 years old and I am as irresponsible as I was when I was 13. Maybe worse- since I never learnt.
Revising French grammar must have done something to my brain- last night, I found myself dreaming in French with English subtitles!

I discovered something when sms-ing shauna:
you type 'rejected' with the same keys you would use to type 'selected'. what irony.
*flashes her french textbook* i am no longer just a bum!

Happy New Year- I enter 2005 unemployed. To the guys enlisting tomorrow- good luck guys. We wanted to host an army-themed New Year's Eve Bash for you guys, but the plan died somewhere. Went back to Hwachong today- in true Peter Pan fashion, Zhuang and Jo can't leave their school uniform days behind and decided to take part in Orientation 05. Ironically, Jo skipped many bits of the one she was supposed to participate in 2 years back. But oh well =) Nice to see all my busy busy friends rushing off to work after saying hi to the tutors and checking out the junior juniors. And i rush back home to watch more VCDs.
Hongkong was very fun- my very first overseas trip alone. Pity they were selling mostly winter clothings. I love SIA in-flight entertainment. I hope Pet enjoys the lao po bings i bought for her- she's the only one who requested for a souvenir! demanding :P
How I spent Dec- university/scholarship applications/interviews, dressing up for Prom, going to Thailand, celebrating Christmas and nye, watching VCDs and more VCDs and looking forward to my hk trip. So now finally- I have nothing to look forward to, nothing to busy myself with- I am officially a BUM. I do plan to do stuff though: driving lessons, french classes, getting a job blah blah. Meanwhile- I am going off to the VCD store.
