Greenview Concert
7:06 PM
30 June 2006 - Our Journey: Celebrating Harmony & CommunityThis is one of the best of Greenview. I have underestimated them. I was truly impressed by the whole performance. Especially the part where the 'angels' were singing. That was amazing. It is very professionally done though it is just at a junior college auditorium. Too bad all these performances happen after we left the school. But I'm proud that I still can watch them perform. Participating in a way....
I'm sooo glad that I finally can meet Ronald again (so I can get my overdue birthday present. Been anticipating you know, ever since I read his blog that he's going to make me faint with shock upon receiving it). After so long. So here's the picture of the necklace that he made pour moi.
Lovely isn't it? My mum is going to get sooo jealous. Hehe.... Merci beaucoup Ronald! Je l'aime beaucoup!We left for Tampines Central after the concert for supper. We ate at Burger King because MacDonald's was extremely crowded. I ate my favourite Mushroom Swiss burger. Then asked if he wanted to watch Scary Movie 4. he said ok so I'm very happy because I want to watch it too! (Sorry Adrian! I know I asked you before, but I find it so hard to find a compromise with our daily schedule. When I'm free, you're working. When you're free, I've school. Sigh. I'm really, really sorry.)
We went to Starbucks because Mr Ronald likes his whipped cream. He ate a cup of it! My gosh! Anyway, we took alot of pictures at Starbucks while waiting for the movie to start. Here's 2 of them:

Scary Movie 4 is quite a lame movie. Wasn't as nice as all the previous one. But still ok to watch if you need cheering up. I was so afraid of the Ju-on parody by the little boy in the movie, that I screamed everytime he appeared. So scary! And the poster above, I was afraid of it too (I freaked myself up when I saw this giant poster at the Princess cinema in Bedok). I found it so freaky because it's a doll, and I never really liked freaky-looking dolls (except Barbie, of course). But I wasn't so afraid after I heard that it's not just any other doll. *Ahem* Hehe.... I never thought of that....Hey Ronald, thank you so much for watching the midnight movie with me though you have work the next day. I know I talked alot of crap also, and my photography skills are so fantastic that some of the pictures turned up with some wierd light everywhere. But it was fun. Like back in secondary school days, when we had concerts to attend and crap around with everybody else around us =) Haha.... Miss those days sometimes. Once again, I thank you for your friendship. Very much appreciated.

Slither
3:22 AM
Slither is a good movie. An extremely hilarious one to me though. I spent the time in the theatre laughing more. But of course there were some "What the F**k?!" times. Some parts of the show were just gross man! Oh, and the theatre was extremely cold. I was almost shivering in there and poor Adrian was huddled up in the cinema. But I really wonder why it is rated M-18. I think an NC-16 rating is enough. Not that scary.28 June 2006
Today is a fantastic day! I went to the childcare as usual and had fun there. I didn't have to do the lesson plan today, so it was just a normal trip to the centre. My handsome hero stuck alot to me today. He sat on my lap during Chinese lesson until he got scolded for disturbing somebody else (Poor boy is always punished though it is not his fault). Ben Ben clung onto me since the morning assembly. He always held my hand. So nice of him =) (I don't even get to hold Adrian's hand that often.) I helped out alot more today. Helped Peiling to take pictures and also helped the teacher to get water and clean the table. I love the childcare alot alot! I love children! They're adorable angels. I can never stay angry at them for long.
If only I don't have this pounding headache, I think I would have enjoyed the day more. But I still did, in the end.
I took the train with Pei Pei on the way home today. We chatted about our days at the childcare, and talked about the children. I laughed till I cried and I laughed till my cheeks hurt. But no matter. I think I can live about 10 minutes longer (Because laughter helps you live longer). Thinking about the children really makes me smile, and it definitely took my stress away. You know, throughout the whole journey, I was not thinking about anything else except my lovely kids. That's great isn't it? Thank you Pei Pei! I enjoyed myself very much, talking about them. Just makes me wonder what kind of kids I will have too, and what future teachers will say about them. Haha =)

To all the children in the world, I Love You!
Human beatbox
3:59 AM
On my way to Adrian's place, I just saw the best "Human beatbox" ever. I saw him on TV Mobile. He was performing in Just for Laugh Variety. And I must say his performance was fantastic. Especially the first part. I was watching in amazement in the bus, and practically just laughing and smiling to myself because of that amazement (lucky there was no one around who saw me.... So embarrassing.... Hehe).Today was a fantastic day. I was surprised when I found everybody else sleeping. Everybody must be taking advantage of the cool weather to sleep. I did alittle research for AW (haven't finished....), and also watched a few episodes of the corrupted cartoon show Drawn Together (it's hilarious. Thanks Peiling for introducing me to it!)
Haha.... Basically a very boring day today. But it's special because it's finally a day when I can do absolutely nothing at all. But I chose to do my homework. Have too much. Sigh. But to everybody else, hope you too have a day when you can do anything you like!

I really love the feeling after prayers. I was extremely down yesterday when I went for prayers (one of the reasons being accidentally bumping my head on my cupboard door....) But after sharing a few songs and a few laughs together with God and everybody else present, Ahhhh. There was a feeling of great relief (from stress) and happiness =)
25 June 2006 - 25th Anniversary Mass of Catherine & Steven
Isn't it sweet? Being married for 25 years! Wow.... It made me wonder whether my parents have reached that Silver Jubilee year. But no matter. I think they still do love each other just as much. I hope my parents have an Anniversary Mass too.
I played the organ today. Sigh. Wish I don't have the nervousness. Again I played wrongly. Sigh. I' going to try again soon with the up-coming Children's Day Mass. Hehe....
And we took pictures (as usual). Here, presenting.....
the loving couple Amy & Damien,
my lovely "son" (I "adopted" him) Patrick,
my sista Grace,
Tasia and Joshua,
and Mr Wesley.Ok, back to the Anniversary Mass. I do not know Catherine and Steven personally. But after just seeing them for the first time, I (anyone really) can tell that they love each other so very much. They shared a "LIVE" kiss for 30 seconds! A loving, passionate, fiery, romantic and touching kiss. So sweet =D
I really wonder what's the secret to staying married for soooo long. I find it hard enough to try maintaining friendships and relationships, but this couple can have a loving 25 years together, but no doubt with quarrels and arguments sometimes. So, this couple is a living testimony that it can be done. I admire them.
To all couples (married or not), Happy Anniversary and all the best in keeping the flame of love alive.

I'm cheerful, happy and sweet =)

A penny for your thoughts
3:52 AM
Here I am sitting at the table with my books piled up, trying to find enough references for my assignment. Sigh. I give up. My mind's not working. And it's not helping that I've got sooo many other things on my mind. Sigh. I wish I can have a mental holiday to free myself from all these evil thoughts (Michelle and I planning anti-homework campaign.... HAHA GOODBYE HOMEWORK!!!) It's so hard to concentrate! Argh!I need someone to talk to. Please call me/meet me/console me!

Goodbye cruel world....
Insomnia! Argh!
12:26 AM
This is going to be the last time that I'm going to drink Iced Lemon Tea from the afternoon onwards. The after effects of drinking it is extremely terrible! Argh! I always forget that tea has more caffeine than coffee, and I always forget that Iced Lemon Tea contains tea, and with Iced Lemon Tea being my favourite drink, I always made sure that I had the best home-made one and I usually have it at night when I'm having dinner!!! Argh! Caffeine's not my friend anymore.I promised myself that I would sleep early. So after packing and tidying my room, I lied on my bed at 12am last night. Then tossed and turned in bed. Made unnecessary trips to the living room, to the toilet, and took a tour of my house then went back to bed. Couldn't sleep at all. Argh! First, Iced Lemon Tea is to blame. Secondly, I'm thinking of toooooo many things. Thirdly, homework is stressing me out man! Argh! Pourquoi? Why me?! In the end, I gave up forcing myself to sleep, so at about 1am, I went out to the living room, complained to my dad that I couldn't sleep, then researched for my AW outline work. Read a few magazines, cleaned out my shelf of magazines. Then finally decided to go to bed. Exhausted. Phew! I finally managed to fall asleep at 2am in the morning. You know, it feels nice to fall right into bed when you just came home and you're very tired. But it's not nice at all when I have to recreate the exhaustion scenario just to fall asleep! Argh! I'm soooooo fed up.
But today was ok. I woke up at 10:30am. Did some housework. Went out to run errands at 12pm. Felt like a good workout =D Hoping to lose all excess 'flabbiness' so that I can parade in my new (actually bought it some time ago) bodynits bikini during the Sentosa trip! Aha!
Hey Amit, hope you're free to come with me that day, and try to convince my brother to go too ok?

You've broken the record.
Silent Hill
10:34 PM
Man! Silent Hill is freaky!And it's the third horror movie that I dared to watch. First one's Jeepers Creepers and the second's The Skeleton Key =D (I only watch English horror movies. The Japanese or Korean ones are a big no-no.)
But it is quite a nice movie. I ended up admiring the graphics and animation half-way through the movie.... The storyline is very interesting, but I couldn't catch some parts. There were some lame jokes in the movie. And as with all horror movies, there were the frightening parts too. You know, my dad said that the movie should be rated M-18 instead because it is too gory. I think so too. I was a little grossed out by it, though I said that I like gory and sadistic movies. But it was a good experience. At least I'm watching it with my family. Not too scary. hehe....
Saw a couple of other trailers of good movies. Lady in the water, Scary Movie 4 and Stay Alive. Stay alive is another horror movie that I'd like to watch. It's quite interesting too. Let me try to recall.... "What happens if the game starts playing you?" That's about the only thing I'll reveal for now about that movie. But it should be a good one.
Haikal, Scary Movie 4 is coming out soon. We'll watch it together ok?

I'm not sadistic.
Fashion Project
2:28 AM
15 June 2006 - ShoppingI woke up very tired this morning. Think I've been sleeping too late nowadays.
I had breakfast while watching The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie (I Love SpongeBob) today. Then Mum made lunch for my brother and me I. We watched Corpse Bride while eating lunch (mostly canned food though). After lunch, I went back to doing my SAM homework. Then I had problems getting my Internet up. I got so fed up, that I gave up trying anymore and took a nap at 5:30pm.
Met up with Jon at Cityhall MRT station at 7:30pm. We went to Marina Square's foodcourt (all broke) for dinner, then we went window-shopping.
My gosh! I felt like a millionaire yesterday! (though I'm seriously broke) You all know that the shops in Marina Square are high-end boutiques. Helping Jon with his fashion project, so we went into some of the boutiques to have a look at the clothes. My gosh! (Most of the clothes we were looking at was $100 plus and above.) The dresses from IS were beautiful. I tried on this silky blue blouse from bebe ($129) and I felt like I was in heaven (I was so sad that I had to put it back. Wanted to bring it home....)
We visited Zara too. The clothes there are lovely! OOooohhhhhhh I really truly wish I were a millionaire so that I can buy all the clothes I saw! Sigh. But it's not to be. Haha.... but it was fun going around seeing the clothes. For me, touching the material and seeing how I look in front of the mirror with it is good enough. Lazy to try on. Though I was extremely sad that I couldn't buy anything home, my only comfort is that the white dress that I like from FOX is only $39! Yippee! At least I can afford this one. Going to save money to buy it before the 9 July, so that I can wear it to Sentosa!
Save money....

Hell
3:30 AM
Today was like living hell. Woke up at 8am. Got ready to go to the centre. Man! With my cough back, it sure was tough having to implement my lesson today!But the children are just really cute. I'm still sooo in love with Ian Kitt (my handsome hero - this boy is going to grow up very, very, very handsome).
So today, I did Lesson Number 2: Rainbow Collage. The children are supposed to tear paper and paste it into a rainbow. Guess what they did instead? They played with the glue, draw, and ran around pretending to be like Batman. Woah! I had such a great time getting them back! I shouted like nobody's business. So today I did alittle more work than usual; to help my poor teacher. She is left the only teacher to look after the K1 class (about 20 students!). She is on her own again and she's not feeling very well either. Good for her that she's taking a break. She needs an extremely long break really. K1s really can make ruckus. Phew! But I'm finally glad when I can leave (though I really wanted to stay to help my poor teacher).
Ok, so Lesson Number 3 is coming up. The BIG test. I honestly wish myself good luck. Teaching sand art is no laughing matter. ARGH!
Good luck to everybody else doing their test!

DXO
2:51 AM
I had been looking forward to this day since I heard about it. And it has been a long time since I clubbed anyway (2 months).So I went with Adrian, to DXO for the party OneNiteStand, on the 12th June 2006, supposedly to see Paul Twohill. We reached at about 10pm plus. I didn't see him. I was mighty disappointed. And I feel sooo bad because I forgot to tell Adrian that it's a under-18 party (more like a rock concert). But at least I still had fun; dressing up to go clubbing, and drinking. I tried bourbon coke and rum sprite (sweet!). 7. 4 down. 3 more to go.
And we took more pictures. Here's our latest one.
13th June 2006 - Baking lessonI was again mighty disappointed with today's baking class. I thought we were going to learn how to bake a cake. In the end, all we did was just chcolate chip cookies. There was a lot of waiting to be done, so while we were waiting, we took pictures. I compiled this one together because I just thought it was cute. Anyway, the effect is very nice. Here, check it out =)
Let me leave you with an original joke I found from Readers' Digest.Jazzy, my sister's dog, was deaf and blind. When painful tumours developed, it was time to put her down.
As I explained this to my seven-year-old son, Jacob, he asked if Jazzy would go to heaven. I said I thought she would, and that in dog heaven she would be healthy again and be able to do her favourite thing: chase squirrels.
Jacob thought about it, then said, "So dog heaven must be the same as squirrel hell."

Relief
11:15 AM
12 June 2006 - 2:00amI'm extremely happy today. I chatted with alot of people today.
Meaningful, reconciliation, relief, regret, happiness, sleepiness (chatting in the middle of the night), excitement, fun, mixed feelings.
Never felt so many emotions simultaneously before. But the feeling's great.

10 June 2006The holidays have officially started! Yippee!
Alright, so today, my mum bought me a new pair of shoes. Check it out!
I'm so happy! I love it sooo much! Thank you mum!Ok, so today, I went to church as usual for novena. Then we had practice for Family Mass. Blah blah blah.... Ok, then during the final blessing, those who celebrate their birthdays and anniversaries stood up for an extra blessing. =)
Janice, Damien, Amy and I went out after the Family Mass to Hagen Daaz @ Siglap. Man! I paid $9.90 for 2 small scoops of Summer Berries & Cream and Brandied Cherry with toppings of roasted almonds and strawberries. That I promise, is going to be the last time I'm going to Hagen Daaz if I'm paying for myself.... I'm sooo mad!
But, aside from that, I had alot of fun with them. We chatted about how it expensive the ice-cream at Hagen Daaz was, talked about dreams, and discussed about school. I was laughing half the time. Damien is sooo funny! I clearly remember one particular thing which made me laugh for at least 30 seconds non-stop. And Damien started it. We were talking about how sometimes we dream about falling.
"Oh yeah, I remember I dreamt about falling. Then I fell. Off my bed."
My gosh! That was it! After I heard the last part, I just burst out laughing non-stop! Sorry Damien, but I couldn't help it! I thought he was going to tell us what happened after he fell in his dream; I seriously didn't expect him to say that he fell off the bed! HAHA! My gosh.... Ha, I'm still laughing now.... Phew! Ok....control, control....
I had a fantastic time today. Before I leave, here's a joke for everyone.
Number 12 walks into a bar.
"Give me a beer," he says to the bartender.
"Sorry I can't serve you." he answers.
"Why not?" asks Number 12, getting angry.
"You're under 21."
Laughing helps you lose weight.
